Violet Marshall, the Witch Emperor at the end of the Fifth Era, and Shade actually met her before that… In fact, he obtained the current weapon at the seal in the Sikal Mountain. A few minutes after the Time Key, by touching the handprint on the well that connected death, Shade not only obtained [Witch Reverberation Violet], but he even saw the phantom of this lady.
Earlier, when Shade obtained the [Night Watch] from the Balrog Seal, he also saw the battle memory left by this lady.
“Salute to you, Your Majesty.”
Xia De said hello very respectfully, while looking at the ladies around him.
Although the six real witches are acting as maids, they are obviously taking orders from the witch emperor. As for Miss Schulz Tres, a tenth-year student at the Serkses Higher Medical School, it is no accident that she should be a tenth-year-old witch. Level witch.
In fact, after entering ninth grade, students from the three major thaumaturgy academies are allowed to submit their graduation thesis for assessment and apply for graduation, but they are also allowed to continue studying. Theoretically, it’s allowed even up to thirteenth grade, but no one would do that.
“A traveler from a foreign land?”
The Witch Emperor looked at him suspiciously, and then noticed Shade reaching out to her.
So, this thirteenth-level witch, like all the witches Shade had seen in the past, reached out and grabbed his wrist. He stayed for a few seconds and then let go, looking at his palm by the light of the bonfire:
“Are you a man?”
The tone is slightly dull, but the expression is definitely not dull.
“Of course, the gods have proven this before.”
Xia De no longer knows how many times he has said this.
“Relax a little while I check.”
As she spoke, she waved her hand at Shade, and as unfamiliar power emerged, the surface of his body flashed with red light:
“Really a man?”
Miss Violet said in surprise, and Shade also understood that this was a power that could identify gender, but it should have been lost in the Sixth Age.
“Teresa, look, using him as a research subject is definitely enough for you to graduate from Serkses three times. How about you take him away and give me this opportunity?”
She suddenly smiled and said to her companion, but the young tenth-level witch shook her head, which meant rejection.
“Can I gain your trust?”
Xia De asked, if the other party did not kill him immediately, it meant that the contact had been successful.
“Wait a minute, we can only confirm that you are male, but we are not sure whether you are human. This is the Lost Lake, and no one can guarantee what else will be here.”
After speaking, he ordered his maid:
“Bring that sword over here.”
Soon, a tall red-haired young maid came over holding a sterling silver scabbard. The scabbard was inlaid with various gems and diamonds, and Shade was very sure that it was really just a sword. Simple embellishment.
The silver sword was pulled out of the scabbard, and the sword body seemed to react to the heavy fog that shrouded the Lost Lake, exuding a holy light. The rune “My heart is clear, my sword kills demons” emits a bright yellow light.
This is the [Night Watch], the [Night Watch] of the fifth era.
As the owner of this long sword in 1853 of the Sixth Era, Shade was filled with emotion when he saw it in this distant time. Miss Violet signaled to Shade to hold the sword. The maid held the sword in both hands and handed it to Shade. Shade held the hilt of the sword, flicked the sword with some nostalgia, and then pulled out a beautiful sword flower in the fog.
As a souvenir of encountering this sword again, he decided to clean his own sword after returning home, even though the sword had the property of being “indestructible”.
“This sword was temporarily ‘borrowed’ by me. It cannot stay away from the mountain for a long time. But it seems that you are indeed not a strange creature.”
The Witch Emperor chuckled and said, while Miss Teresa wearing glasses looked at the sword in Shade’s hand:
“Sir, from an academic point of view, this sword seems to be more adaptable to your strength. When His Majesty and I held the sword, it did not react like this.”
“This reaction” means that the light of the sword becomes purer, which is a sign that the [Night Watch] is preparing to fight when encountering evil, and now it seems that “evil” is everywhere around him.
“Maybe it’s because I have a kind nature.”
Xia De said casually, and then as expected, he heard “her” chuckle.
“In this case, sir, you have gained my initial trust.”
Shade handed the sword back to the maid, and Miss Violet said, then motioned for Shade to sit down and talk.
Although the witches of the Fifth Age were extravagant and lustful, in their adventures in this environment, they only had tents and campfires. The flame in front of him was so warm, and after Shade, Miss Violet and Miss Theresa all sat down, the flame started to rise even more.
“Sir, why are you here?”
Miss Teresa asked Shade, a witch who had not yet graduated from the Academy of Thaumaturgy, and her voice became duller.
Xia De thought for a moment and did not say that he was here to help them:
“I heard that there is a wise man here who can answer any question, so I want to ask him why I am so special even though I am a man.”
This reason was immediately believed by the witches, because they were also very curious about this.
“After entering the Lost Lake area, we can encounter all kinds of strange things. First we encountered invisible attacks, then everyone began to gradually lose their memory, and now there is another witch who can contact us Man. Sir, I don’t know where you heard that there are wise men here, but you are looking for the wrong destination. There is only one **** here, one true god.”
Even though it was the Thirteenth Ring, Miss Violet still cautiously motioned Shade to pay attention to the obsidian tower in the center of the island in the middle of the lake. The light of the bonfire made her face appear more three-dimensional:
“The Great One, the God of Lakes [The Uncertain Wise Man], enlightens mortals’ wisdom in the amorphous water. According to legend, this **** will use the power of the Lost Lake to take the form of a saint every 500 years. Once here, God is willing to answer mortal questions, but he can only answer one at a time.”
She pointed to the people around her and wanted to introduce them again, but she suddenly closed her mouth. At the same time, the [Night Watcher] still held by the maid suddenly shook violently:
“No! Move closer to the fire!”
Miss Violet, who was wearing a pointed hat, said loudly, and the six maids immediately put down all their work and quickly sat around the campfire. It was obvious that none of them wanted to get too close to Shade, so in the end, Miss Violet and Miss Theresa actually squeezed in next to Shade.
The group all closed their mouths, and most of the maids even closed their eyes and covered their ears.
Shad knew it was best for him to do the same thing at the moment, but he was really curious about what was going on.
So, as the [Night Watch] shook more and more intensely, there was a loud bang, and a huge black hairy limb that seemed to fall from the sky, probably similar to the legs of a spider, broke through the fog from the sky and landed on the island in the middle of the lake.
The four elements of chaos in that moment almost affected Sha De, whose soul was extremely stable. The fog has not been dispersed, and the looming hairy limbs cannot be fully seen. But even so, when Shade witnessed this scene, he instantly felt like his whole body was covered with spiders.
Even at this moment, he seemed to have glimpsed a corner of a huge spider-like evil thing that was higher than the peak of Mount Sikal. Fortunately, the light from the bonfire was enough for the people here to stabilize their minds, but there were still two maids who were shaking all over, as if they were in complete fear.
The hairy limb quickly left, and the chaotic elements returned to normal. But no one dared to speak immediately. After waiting for a long time, Miss Violet signaled to her maids that they could go to work. The maids who were still in fear were fed some water by their companions and treated with magic potions.
“Did you see it? This is Lost Lake. No one can tell how many terrifying things there are here.”
The Witch Emperor breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Xia De was not affected except for his face turning a little pale, he even praised him:
“You are the bravest man I have ever met.”
“But other men don’t have the chance to see this scene.”
Miss Teresa reminded her, adjusting her glasses and continuing the topic:
“I am preparing my graduation thesis, so I want to seek wisdom from the gods. Miss Violet wants to seek the secret of immortal and eternal beauty, so she came here.”
“Isn’t it for power?”
Xia De hesitated:
“Shouldn’t people like you continue to pursue power?”
“I don’t have the talent to become a demigod. Besides, isn’t eternal beauty more important than strength?”
The witch emperor at the end of the fifth era reached out to touch her fair face. This once again reminded Shade that the great witch at the end of the fifth era was definitely different from the witches in the early and middle periods.
The witches I met before all have their own inner pursuits, yearning for knowledge, power and even the mystery of God. The great witches of this era generally want to be… more realistic.
“I know what you are thinking, but sir, everyone’s pursuit is different.”
Miss Violet sneered:
“I now have the wealth of the entire country, the top power in the material world, and the most beautiful girl. All I lack is eternal beauty. As for higher power, so what if I get it? After all, demigods are not truly great, and they will eventually age. I would rather exchange gold for fish-men’s elixir, and use treasure to develop the best cosmetic potions, than pursue those unrealistic powers.”
Shad was silent for a moment and looked at Miss Theresa. The latter pushed up her glasses again, shook her head slightly at Shad, and then lowered her gaze. Apparently, the young woman didn’t quite agree with this sentiment.
