Chapter 230 Heading to the Witch Cult
"There will be trouble on the Narpo Empire front."

Deya walked on the sky corridor of the Nine Rings Tower, frowning as he thought about what his teacher and Master Adolf had just said to him.

Judging from the intelligence information obtained by Deya, the front line of the Narbo Empire is now unstoppable, conquering cities along the way, and the orcs in the north can even be said to be in danger.

After all, the Narber Empire has a history of nearly 2000 years, and various magic and alchemy techniques are very advanced.

In the eyes of the Narber Empire, the orcs in the north were just a group of barbarians. If it weren't for the extremely cold and harsh environment in the north, the orcs would have been destroyed long ago.

The current battle outcome is in line with the Empire's initial expectations. The orcs could never be the Empire's opponent.

Otherwise, the empire would not have been able to develop normally for so many years, and the orcs in the north have never dared to do anything to the empire, and at most they would occasionally take advantage of it.

But now Master Adolf said that the empire will encounter troubles and even dangers, which forced Deya to take it seriously.

"Natural disaster..."

Deya whispered that this was the result obtained by Master Adolf through the prophecy spell. There will be a huge natural disaster that will sweep everything, and the empire will also be involved in this natural disaster.

However, even Master Adolf could not know what the natural disaster was, so they could only wait passively.

Just as Deya was thinking, he suddenly had an idea and looked up.

On this corridor in the air, there was a witch wearing a black dress, with fair skin and long hair standing there quietly.

The wind blew from high in the sky, ruffling her inky black hair.

The witch had a cold and expressionless face, except for her pair of dark eyes that were staring straight at Deya.

Seeing the witch, Deya smiled and said, "LaMia?"

Lamia once told Deya that she wanted to dig deep into her bloodline to make herself stronger.

When they went to the Emerald Courtyard where the elves were, Lamia did not go with Deya and the others because of her own weak strength.

After returning to the Nine Rings Tower, Lamia has been conducting research on her own bloodline, so Deya has never seen her.

Seeing the witch who had always been following him again, Deya was also happy. He stepped forward and asked, "How is your research on the witch's bloodline going? Are you not locking yourself in the room anymore?"

But immediately afterwards, Deya frowned.

Although the witch Lamia in front of him had the same temperament and appearance as before, Deya inexplicably felt a sense of strangeness and vicissitudes in her.

When he thought of the great witch he met 4000 years ago in the World Recollections, he was suspicious for a moment, wondering if Lamia's body and consciousness had been taken over by that great witch.

After all, judging from the time-related power displayed by the great witch, she seems to really have such ability.

Noticing the hesitation in Deya’s eyes, Lamia said in her cold voice: “Don’t worry, Deya.

As you thought, the big witch has not taken over everything of mine. I am still myself, nothing has changed.

It’s just that when you met the big witch, I was also triggered by the power of the witch of time, which allowed me to obtain the life and experiences of different witches of time that were born in all the time fragments of the past.

The reason why you feel strange is just that I have been influenced by those knowledge and experiences, not that I have become a different person.

The Great Witch has long since fallen. This was her own choice. She simply left some of her power and knowledge to future witches."

Deya carefully observed Lamia in front of him. There was no heaviness of history in her eyes now, and it was not exactly the same as the feeling he had when he first met the Great Witch.

To be more precise, Lamia now looks more like her younger self but has acquired a strange sense of contradiction formed by the vicissitudes of history.

And the weirdness that comes to me is caused by this sense of contradiction.

Deya nodded slightly, acknowledging Lamia's words, acknowledging that her consciousness had not been occupied by the great witch, and she was still herself.

"Deya, I want you to do me a favor?"

"Given the relationship between us, you don't need to use such pleading words."

Lamia whispered, "Through the memories of all the witches in the past, I have learned the location of the witch cult. I hope you can accompany me to completely wipe out the cult."

"The Witch Cult? Do we need to ask Sally and the others to go with us?"

Deya was quite cautious. As far as he knew, the leader of the Witch Cult was a powerful nine-ringed witch.

Although Deya possesses a portion of the divine power of the Singer of Silence, he can also display that divine-like power at any time.

But after all, there is a level difference between him and the leader of the witch cult. To be on the safe side, it is better to call more people.

Lamia shook her head and said, "I just want to go with you, and I don't want to invite Sally and the others.

I understand your concerns, but you don't have to worry about it. In fact, even if I'm alone, I already have the power to wipe out the Witch Cult.

But the situation of the Witch Cult is a little strange. I suspect there is something hidden behind it, so I asked you to accompany me.

I want to avenge my parents. Only you can accompany me. I don't want others to follow me."

Lamia's words were ambiguous, but the meaning of her words was more like a veiled confession.

Faced with Lamia's words, even Deya couldn't find any reason or excuse.

Moreover, with the power he possesses now, no one can cause fatal harm to him unless the gods really come.

That part of the power belonging to the Singer of Silence is the biggest insurance, so even if there is real danger, Deya doesn't have to worry too much.

He nodded slowly and said, "Okay, do you need to make some preparations?"

Lamia shook her head and said, "No need to prepare. I'll tell you a coordinate and you can just use a teleportation spell to take me there."

After that, Lamia told Deya a coordinate that could only be described in magical language.

After a long period of study in the Nine Rings Tower, in addition to the spells of the School of Necromancer, Deya also mastered spells from many other schools, especially those that are commonly used and easy to use.

It was precisely because of his speed and ability in learning spells that all the tower masters of the Nine Rings Tower unanimously recognized him as the person in charge... Oh, no, he was the inheritor of the Crown of Wisdom.

Deya now has extremely high authority in the Nine Rings Tower and can use any spell inside the Nine Rings Tower. He immediately opened a portal based on the coordinates provided by Lamia. The azure water waves flowed, and the scene on the other side of the portal also came into Deya's sight.

Although his teacher and Master Adolf were heading to the front line of the Narpo Empire, they did not give him a time limit.

In other words, the front line of the Narpo Empire was not actually urgent, and before the natural disaster that Adolf mentioned occurred, Deya's intervention was not completely necessary.

Deyad walked into the portal first, followed closely by Lamia.

In just a blink of an eye, Deya came from the Nine-Ring Tower high in the sky to a prosperous city.

In front of him was a group of dilapidated buildings. This group of dilapidated buildings was out of tune with the entire bustling city and looked very strange.

Lamia appeared beside Deya. She looked at the buildings in front of her with a complicated expression and said:
“This is where I grew up. Ten years ago, a group of people showed up at the Duke’s Mansion, killed my parents, and took me away.

Since then, I have been imprisoned in the Witch Cult, and my flesh and blood have been eaten by those witches. I have always wanted to escape from there and to take revenge.

But in fact, I also know that the hope is slim. The leader of the Witch Cult possesses the powerful strength of nine rings, and there are many witches with six and seven rings.

Even if I could become a Nine-Ring, I wouldn't be able to guarantee that I would have a chance to take revenge. Besides, becoming a Nine-Ring is even more difficult. How many people in this world have reached the Nine-Ring level?"

Lamia looked at the dilapidated Duke's Mansion. No one had cared about it for 10 years and it was now completely dilapidated.

She continued: “…But even so, I still hold on to hope. This is the meaning of my survival. It’s just that fate is really unpredictable. I actually met you.

Since I met you, everything seems to have changed. I even realized my true life experience and abilities, and knew the meaning of the existence of the Time Witch.

But my desire for revenge has not changed. Now the opportunity has come. Deya, can you go out with me?"

Deya nodded slowly.

The two of them left the Duke's Mansion, which had become ruins, and came to the city.

The former Grand Duke of Capet was one of the three dukes of the Narbo Empire, and the capital of his territory was very rich and developed.

The streets are lined with three- to five-story houses, and some buildings are even as high as 10 stories, which is almost never seen in England and Sussex.

There are tracks on the street, and alchemical vehicles are running at a slow speed. The ground beneath their feet is shaking slightly. That should be the underground public transportation.

In Deya's opinion, the overall living standard of the Narpo Empire was a bit like his impression of England in the 19th century, with a very advanced technological level.

It’s just that in Deya’s original world, the development of technology was from steam to electricity, while this world developed alchemy and magic.

Although the principles of energy and technology are different, the results produced are not much different.

It can be seen that for human beings, the way of life and the things they enjoy are similar.

On the streets, you can see well-dressed people hurrying to work. Of course, there are also many ragged lower-class people walking into sweatshops.

But this place is still much more developed than Susaitani, and it even feels like it has been developed for nearly 100 years.

"When I was a kid, my parents would take me out to stroll around the city, and I would secretly look outside from the carriage. Every time I could leave the Duke's Mansion and go for a stroll outside, it was the activity I looked forward to the most."

Lamia wore a black veil on her head and looked with nostalgia at the city where she had lived since childhood.

"Ten years have passed, and there hasn't been any change here. Well, maybe ten years is too short a time to make it change."

Lamia took Deya's arm and walked with him on the busy street.

There are various shops on both sides of the street, selling jewelry, luxurious clothes and other items.

This is the most prosperous commercial street in the city.

The two of them looked like a wealthy aristocratic couple, and such a combination was not uncommon in the city, so they were not very conspicuous.

Lamia was just like an ordinary girl, going around different shops with Deya, looking at the clothes or picking up the jewelry and caressing them carefully, but she didn't buy anything.

Lamia doesn't lack these luxuries, all she wants today is the shopping atmosphere.

Until she found a pair of beautiful earrings, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally spent money to buy them.

He strolled around like this in the morning and came to a high-end restaurant at noon. Under Lamia's introduction, Deya tasted the specialties of the Narbo Empire and the local specialties of the Duke of Capet Ridge.

Although the overall development of the Narpo Empire far exceeds that of Susaitani, there is not much difference between it and Susaitani in terms of life at the top level.

The delicious food is still the same thing, and the luxury goods are still the same thing.

After playing with Deya for almost a whole day, Lamia finally thought about the serious business.

She brought Deya to an underground station similar to a subway, where locomotives constructed with magic and alchemy technology were roaring.

In this complex underground network, Lamia took Deya around and around, and finally came to a seemingly ordinary house.

As a magician, after arriving at this seemingly ordinary little room with nothing in it, his expression slightly changed: "Teleportation magic?"

Deya felt the fluctuation of the spell here!

"No one expected, not even me, that the entrance to the Witch Cult's headquarters would be in Cape City, and that the Witch Cult was built underground in Cape City!"

Lamia gritted her teeth gently and said, “…I also learned this from the memories of other time witches. The history of the witch cult is only a thousand years.

Thousands of years ago, witches had another organization, but they established this organization to help each other.

But one witch betrayed the others, and she seized the witch's secret base, thus establishing the Witch Cult.

There are many networks underground in Capet. When the empire wanted to build underground public facilities, it was precisely because Capet had such a "natural" network underground that the initial experiment on the underground magic locomotive was carried out here.

In fact, these huge underground networks that look like caves were not formed naturally, but were created by witches in the past. The witch cult has always been hiding here!"

After saying that, Lamia's hand gently brushed across the wall in front of her, and complex magical patterns appeared on the wall.

The lines lit up with a faint red light, and the wall turned from solid to nothingness, opening a path to the Witch Cult!
