After the old witch finished speaking, she glanced at her apprentice again. Miss Rita Swift kept a straight face, trying to pretend that although she heard the story, she didn't think much about it.
"Everyone dies, and I will leave after all. The apprentice who will inherit my seat should be Rita. We are loyal to the council, but we are also loyal to the teacher. No matter what happens, we will help you."
She is making a promise to Xia De:
"Xia De, the teacher gave me everything now, I hope you can treat them well."
"They're my friends too."
Xia De secretly glanced at Miss Swift's expression. Granny Cassandra should have said something similar to her, so she was not very surprised at the moment, but carefully stood aside with a saucer.
"Speaking of which, what's the matter with the fog this morning?"
It was already 9:30 in the morning, but the gas lamp had to be lit in the room. The three of them looked out the window together. Usually, they could see half of the city from here, but today they could barely see the roof of the building across the street.
"The fog came down in the middle of the night. It wouldn't be a problem with the passage at the foot of the mountain, nor would it be a problem with the seal on the top of the mountain. Devlin promised this. Therefore, it is the seal left by the witch emperors that has produced new changes. .We leave tomorrow and have to determine as quickly as possible what happened there."
Speaking of this, Granny Cassandra is also very serious:
"Tomorrow, Xi Wei Aurora and I will lead the team. Besides you, we also have our own followers. The speaker has already made a deal with the Church of the Five Gods, at the cost of canceling the arrest warrant for a big witch who made a mistake in the council , The Church of the Five Gods asked us to guarantee that even if the narrow space is finally broken, the passage on the mountainside will not be the first to be lost."
"Okay, I'll be here as early as possible tomorrow morning."
Shad nodded.
"Also, according to the news that Devlin received from the Church of the Five Gods, this fog is related to you sending away the first 'nail' yesterday. The Prophet Association made further divinations on those nails, and the divination It shows that the four resuscitated dead represent four powerful emotions, that is, joy, anger, sorrow and fear. They will forget that they are people who have been resurrected from the dead, but if they realize this, it is not easy for the high ring warlock to deal with them , and, every time a nail is eliminated, the next one will become stronger. What was eliminated by you and Devlin is 'fear', and Zama felt that a nail that was driven into the material world was pulled out, That's why there is this sudden thick fog as a counterattack."
"Any clues about the other three nails?"
"Not yet, this is something the church should worry about. However, regarding the chosen ones..."
The old witch hesitated for a moment:
"The council has found new fragments of poetry, further confirming that the chosen ones who died should be male."
But Xia De already knew this. He even knew that the other party's name was Joey Barton, and he was divination for others in the Crow Club. He plans to go to the Crow Club again this afternoon, and after confirming the attitude of the other party, he will decide whether to report or win over. (Note)
"Also, the chosen ones this time must have personally killed a person who was resurrected from the dead. Yes, it is a true 'resurrected from the dead', not as simple as killing the undead."
Xia De frowned:
"Is this the complete requirement for the Chosen Ceremony?"
"It's just part of the ceremony, there should be other content. Now I have found several suspects of the chosen ones—
Davelyn asked me to help investigate a one-ring warlock. There is a strange one-eyed man in the local ring warlock team of the Church of Nature. The middle-ring scholar who lives alone on Mount Xical is also a suspect. Another one came to this city recently. outsiders. "
The old witch introduced:
"The church should have locked in a few targets, but they didn't do anything. It's probably because the content of the ceremony for the chosen ones hasn't been determined yet, and they are worried that if they find the wrong person, other forces may take the lead."
"The situation is really complicated."
"Yes, moreover, the three major academies are going to come to the big shots this time. They haven't arrived yet, but they should arrive just before the church ceremony."
"Big man?"
"The thirteen-ring warlock, but I don't know which college it is from. The excuse is to help the church seal the gap, but everyone knows that it must be for the chosen ones. Counting this way, including the three thirteen-ring warlocks of the church Including the warlock, there will be four thirteen rings in the local area."
Grandma Cassandra sighed:
"Follow-up, the Prophet Association will also come, and the seal can't be done without their help. There is also the [Truth Society], since they have already appeared, it makes no sense to just come to a few small ants. It is said that the ring magician organization in the southern country has also changed. Just don't know exactly who is coming. Anyway, Fort Midhill is getting more and more chaotic."
After bidding farewell to Granny Cassandra, Xia De carried Mia in his arms and followed Miss Swift to the basement of the auction house, preparing to meet Grace and Helen.
He originally thought that the so-called "basement containment room" was a cold, dilapidated, rusty iron room, but as Miss Swift walked through the underground warehouse and into the branching corridor hidden by the illusion, he finally heard from her mouth. I learned that it was simply a luxurious underground bedroom.
The illusion concealed the passage as a wall, and walked inward along the narrow passage. At the end of the passage full of torches, there was a tightly closed brass-colored heavy metal door with a huge butterfly pattern on it.
In this era, usually banks' vaults or noble vaults would use doors of this specification.
Miss Swift held an oil lamp to illuminate the door in front of her, then handed Shad a key, and signaled Shad to use a pocket watch to time the time, but Shad shook his head:
"I have the ability to perceive time, please rest assured, I will come out on time."
He was about to knock on the door, but the young apprentice behind him spoke again:
"Wait a minute, that... I want to ask you a little question."
Her age is about the same as that of Shade's body. Although she is already an adult by the age standard of this world, she is still young by the standard of a witch. Of course, she was very curious about existences like Xia De, but she still couldn't find a chance to talk to Xia De alone.
"If you want to ask me if I am a man, oh, yes. Ma'am, this question has been asked many times before, and I don't think you need to ask it again."
Xia De said half complaining.
"No, no, I didn't ask that."
Miss Swift blushed a little:
"I want to ask, do you know many witches?"
"Not much... just a quarter of the council's witches."
"How do they treat you?"
Shad thought for a moment:
"not bad."
"And do you know their apprentice?"
That was the question she wanted to ask.
"I only know one."
"That apprentice...how is it? Is it very mature, is it very powerful, and how many rings is it now?"
Only then did Xia De understand that the girl with flaxen hair in front of her was worried that she would not be able to compare with others:
"Excuse me, are you just becoming Granny Cassandra's apprentice?"
he asked softly.
"Yes, next month will be the third year. My mother-in-law also had apprentices before, but I haven't seen them."
In order to prevent their sudden sudden death, there is no seat for apprentice inheritance, so the witches will always train generations of apprentices, but usually the last generation inherits the seat. It is very rare for a witch of Granny Cassandra's previous generation to die without a suitable apprentice.
Tifa is obviously Miss Galina's first generation apprentice, while Miss Swift in front of her is the last generation of Granny Cassandra's apprentice.
"Don't worry, aren't you very good now? At your age, you are already a four-ring warlock, which is very unusual. The road of a witch will be very long. Instead of worrying about the present, it is better to worry about the future. No one is a month-level magician." One ring, one year can be promoted to thirteen rings."
Xia De made a joke, what he said made sense, he only had the third ring after being in this world for more than four months.
Miss Swift finally smiled:
"I understand ~www.mtlnovel.com~ then you can go in quickly. But please note that although teachers and teachers can control themselves, you may encounter some troubles inside. If you can't deal with it, just exit .”
She held the oil lamp in her left hand, and waved to Xia De with her right hand:
"I'll wait for you here."
"Okay, take care of this cat for me for a while."
Xia De handed the reluctant cat to the flaxen-haired girl, turned around and knocked on the door, and after getting a response, he inserted the key into the lock, then pushed the door and walked in.

ps: Joey Barton failed to complete the divination for Mia last week because of his eye damage. He promised that Shad can go again this week, so there is no need to make another appointment. In case readers forget, here is a reminder.
