The witch lowered her head and looked at her spread hands, then raised her head and asked:
"I'm becoming more and more curious about him. Can you tell me where you found this student?
Why does a person like him remain unknown? Do you know what he did today?"
Miss Denister smiled and looked at her with squinted eyes:
"You have to ask yourself about his origins. I am not a girl who reveals other people's secrets in private.
But it seems that you are getting along very well, and the investigation is progressing very quickly. This is a very good start. If you want to go out with Shade to investigate again, you can tell me at any time."
"I will. I went out with him to investigate. Why should I tell you?"
The gentle and sad witch asked, so the eighteen-year-old girl pointed to herself:
"Because I am Shade's teacher."
After finishing speaking, he paused and warned softly:
"Shadow has a strange magical power, Flora. Since we are friends, I want to give you a warning: don't get too close to him. He is very good at attracting people."
But the great witch of death did not understand the meaning, and only thought that the other party was warning her not to try to coax the young man:
"I won't kidnap your student. I'm just curious about him. Since I won't tell you his origin, can you tell me about his life history? How did he grow up? What kind of stories does he have?
?”
Miss Denister smiled and shook her head:
"You have to ask him yourself. Be careful, Flora, I'm not kidding. Don't be too curious about him."
The witch on the sofa has now transformed into an owl again. Maintaining the human form is too costly:
"What about you, Daniste, do you know all his secrets? And you said you wouldn't let me get too close to him, so what did you do?"
All Miss Owl got was the mysterious smile of the red-haired girl.
(Little Mia is running)
News of the eighth candidate has appeared. Miss Winslet, who was not interested in it, originally did not plan to inform the parliament immediately. However, when she and Shade were resting in the woods in the afternoon, she was persuaded by Shade and agreed to inform the council.
Parliament prepared in advance.
It just so happened that today was Sunday, and there was a regular meeting of the [Witch Council] in the evening. So the dead witch, who had not attended the meeting for more than ten days, finally appeared in the council that night and explained at the meeting [
Tree Hole Association] and the Time Chosen Ones.
The witches who were talking about each had different ideas, but based on their previous experiences, the witches' council decided not to take any action for the time being. They just asked Flora Winslet, who was operating in the Vista Grove, to conduct an investigation and wait until the local
When conflicts or problems arise, collective action is taken.
Because it involved matters involving the selected candidates, the meeting lasted from 6:30 to 9:00 in the evening.
Most of the ladies who had meetings at night even though it was the weekend looked tired. Of course, most of them were pretending to hope that the meeting would end early.
Therefore, when Adele Isabella, who was sitting in the most gorgeous and tall armchair, announced the adjournment of the meeting, they immediately smiled and said goodbye to the speaker, and then quickly dispersed.
"Flora, please stay here for a moment. I have something to tell you."
The blond lady who was sorting out the notebook at hand said without raising her head, so the gray-black-haired witch nodded slightly, thinking that it was the special nature of "time" that made the Speaker want to explain something to her alone.
Carina, who was sitting on the other side of the round table, originally wanted to get up and leave. After hearing these words, she sat on the chair and looked through the information about "Dragon Island" that she had at hand.
Both Vanessa and Miss Aurora, who stood up while speaking, noticed her actions. They looked at each other and left through the fog door behind the chair without saying anything.
"Carina, do you have anything else to do?"
Soon, only the three of them were left at the huge round table illuminated by the inexplicable skylight above. The blond witch, who had sorted out the documents at hand, turned to ask the duchess. The mole on the corner of her eye was not visible in this slightly dim environment.
Not very conspicuous.
The beautiful duchess flipped her hair:
"I have something to tell Flora. Didn't Diana just give birth? She wants to invite Flora to Tobesk to paint an oil painting for her and the two children."
As he spoke, he looked at the artist lady:
"Didn't you also paint a portrait for the Queen of the South? Diana heard Lesia from Cold Spring Palace talk about that painting. Oh, Lesia is my grand-niece. In short, now Diana wants it too
One piece."
"You know, I'm best at painting the naked body of aristocratic girls."
The gray-black haired witch held a pen in her right hand and said with her orchid fingers raised, as if she was at ease:
"I like to pursue the natural nature and pure beauty. As for the more normal oil painting Tobesk, it is too far away, so forget it this time."
"Diana wanted you to draw her with clothes on."
The duchess smiled. She actually just found an excuse to stay:
"Since you refused, it's really a pity. I'll leave first and you can continue chatting."
As he spoke, he pretended to stand up, but as expected, he was stopped by the Speaker, Ms. Isabella, and his golden eyes glanced at her:
"Carina, since you're staying, don't leave yet. Do you feel anything unusual about Flora today?"
The great witch of death was shocked, and then winked at the duchess. Shade said that he had told Carina about the matter.
The Duchess nodded slowly and sat down again, but she didn't want to cover up for Miss Winslet:
"Of course I feel something is wrong with Flora. Her soul and body are now seriously unbalanced, and she can barely survive with her current transformation technique. Mr. Speaker, have you noticed it too?"
"I still have the right to know whether the witch who enters the parliament is a humanoid witch or an owl-shaped witch. In the parliament, I can see through any transformation and illusion."
Her golden eyes seemed to be shining, and she asked worriedly:
"Flora, what's wrong with you?"
"Wait, what owl?"
The somewhat evil-minded duchess asked this deliberately and looked surprised.
Miss Winslet had already pursed her lips and lowered her head. No one urged her. It took her a long time before she raised her head and said:
"Something happened to me and I was cursed to turn into an owl."
Carina looked at her with concern, actually staring at her to see if she would tell her about Shade. But what happened was a bit unexpected, because the great witch of death didn't even mention the cupboard:
"I accidentally traveled to 1763 and found a newspaper from 1852. When I returned to the present, the curse had been ingrained in my soul. I was looking for a solution, so I came across [
Tree Hole Association].”
Carina looked at Speaker Isabella again, who said seriously:
"The Curse of Time."
Both the red-haired and gray-haired witches were slightly surprised. The term "time curse" was not mentioned in the previous description:
"You know about the time curse?"
"Yes. Flora, did the curse just turn you into an owl?"
"There is also a decrease in levels. In human form, I can barely maintain level ten, and in owl form, I can only maintain level seven."
The great witch of time frowns:
"It is indeed a very troublesome curse. I am currently working with Megan to store an angel-level relic in the north of the Old World.
Well, next Wednesday I will go to Vista City alone to check on your situation and try out several ways to break the curse. If it still doesn’t work, in addition to finding a way in Ximu Town, you can only wait for Megan and I
Got that relic."
Adele Isabella hesitated for a moment before saying the name of the angel-level relic:
"[The Atonement's Lament], an open-air hot spring, bathing in it can wash away one's sins and remove the curse caused by sin. Now this relic is out of control in the local area, and its area has expanded to the size of a small lake, with a steady stream of
'Sin' attracts flesh and blood and sinks into the lake, and then the monster of sin is born.
There are now three angel-level relic derivatives - Angels of Sin. Although I won't take away my followers temporarily, it will still cause a lot of pressure on Megan, so I can only stay in Ximu Town for one day.
.”
"It's okay, but that relic"
Flora Winslet knew the negative properties of that relic.
"I know that once that relic is used, your status as the 'Atoner' will make it difficult for you to do evil deeds in the general sense from now on, otherwise your body will be burned by fire and your flesh will be distorted. I will not let you do it unless it is absolutely necessary.
Use it. Flora, are you confident that you can find a way to break the curse in Ximu Town?"
Thinking of Daniste and her handsome and magical apprentice, the witch nodded slightly:
"No problem, there has been some progress now. Also, there is a lady whose identity cannot be revealed with me. She is a higher level than me. If you go to me, I can introduce her to you.
"
"Well, I'll be in Ximu Town next Wednesday. Please tell me your address."
While Miss Winslet was writing the address, the blonde witch asked the duchess with a thoughtful expression:
"Carina, in the Yodel Palace incident at the beginning of this month, was there no time-cursed person?"
The red-haired witch immediately shook her head:
"Is there a time loop at the beginning of the month? No, I haven't found any traces of the suspected unknown relic [Time of Retrospection] since then. I have some doubts as to whether what happened that time was really caused by the effect of that relic."
Adele Isabella shook her head:
"Although Flora said that the story of the eighth chosen person will unfold in Ximu Town, don't relax while staring at Yodel Palace. I suspect that the story of the eighth chosen person has actually been revealed since the beginning of the month.
Let’s start, what happened that time was not simple.”
Carina agreed and looked at the very familiar pocket watch placed in Speaker Isabella's notebook. She had seen this in Shade's hand not long ago:
"Is it possible that next Wednesday will be the first meeting between Shade and Miss Isabella?"
