William, the old witch, and the soldier Philip followed the flow of people and entered the city after paying the entry fee.
The soldier Philip took out so many gold coins from the old witch's grandmother's treasure house. At this "critical moment of spending money", the soldier Philip, who "understood the righteousness", naturally would not be stingy with this little "external possession" and was very generous.
The land is donated as a source of funds for collective use.
Now that you have money, don’t wrong yourself.
The three of them checked into the best hotel in the city and got the most comfortable large room.
There is no way, William is not afraid of what happens to Soldier Philip. He has the magic mirror in his hand, and every move of Soldier Philip and the old witch will be under his control!
But the old witch didn't know this. Just in case, the old witch still asked for a room for three people to live together!
William will never forget the meaningful look in the waiter's eyes when he heard the old witch's request, an expression of "I understand".
I understand you! It takes a lot of willpower for William to control himself from killing that bastard with a sword!
I'm very pure, okay? William thought.
In such a depressed mood, William moved into this big house and ordered a large amount of expensive wine and food.
For William, the food and wine were just average and even a bit unpalatable, but that was not the case for the soldier Philip.
Being born into a poor family, he had never tasted such delicious food.
In addition, this was food purchased with his own money, and the soldier Philip was even more angry.
But the moment he saw William, the anger in his heart was suppressed.
This night, William had taught him how to behave!
Therefore, the soldier Philip had no choice but to turn his grief and anger into appetite and eat crazily, just like a starving ghost reincarnated.
William looked at it for a few times and then lost interest in eating it.
He looked at the old witch who had stopped eating after taking a few bites, frowned and said, "Aren't you going to do that? Why did you come to the capital of the Principality of Estonia? There are many people here, is it convenient? Or do you want to delay time?
?”
"What's the hurry? Here is a key ingredient for preparing the Jormungandr Water!" the old witch said calmly.
"Water of Jormungandr?" This was the first time William heard this term.
The old witch took some more food and put it into her mouth. After chewing it for a few times, she said slowly, "Well, Jormungandr symbolizes the end of the world! And the water of Jormungandr can wash me away."
Grandma’s spiritual imprint. When the time comes, seize the opportunity and sign a contract with the Void Hound!”
"Okay!" Seeing that the old witch had no intention of breaking the contract, William's expression became better, he nodded and said.
The old witch looked at William with disdain and said, "Don't worry, I won't say anything I can't do!"
William believed what the old witch said.
He paused and said to the old witch, "Then what materials do you need? I can help!"
"I need your help! And it's very busy! But I don't need you now! You'd better eat first. Only when you're full can you have the strength to work! Just like him." The old witch said the last thing, looking at the soldier Philip's eyes.
It was so gloomy that Philip, the soldier who was eating so much, shuddered violently.
Women are creatures that tend to hold grudges easily, especially an older woman.
In the next few days, the old witch went out alone from time to time, telling William to keep an eye on the soldier Philip.
William naturally agreed.
A few times before, when the old witch went out, she would carefully observe whether William was following her secretly, but after checking several times, she found that William was staying in the hotel honestly.
The old witch felt relieved and walked cautiously towards a certain tavern.
The old witch had no idea that William had a magic mirror and could understand her situation clearly without going out to follow her in person.
Through a series of complex codes and the like, the old witch finally got on the line with certain people.
These people all have extraordinary abilities, and they hide their faces so that others will not notice them.
Of course, these extraordinary people are not very powerful, and none of them exceed the level of third-class wizard apprentices.
These were all detected by the magic mirror, and they were almost discovered by a guy with a keen sense.
Only then did William realize that this place was a gathering for exchanges of extraordinary missions, where they could share their knowledge!
In this gathering, the old witch successfully exchanged or purchased some materials she wanted.
In the magic mirror, William could see that the old witch was in a good mood.
Sure enough, one night not long after the exchange of materials, the old witch suddenly woke William up in the middle of the night without warning.
William himself was in a state of alertness, half asleep and half awake. As soon as the old witch moved, the magic mirror woke him up, opened his eyes, and looked at the old witch.
The old witch was a little surprised to see William being so vigilant.
She glanced at William in surprise, her eyes returned to calmness, and she said calmly to William, "The time has come when I need you!"
William glanced at the sleeping soldier Philip, who was snoring like thunder, lowered his voice and said, "Have you prepared the water of Jormungandr?"
"Do you think it's that easy to prepare Jörmungandr Water?" The old witch sneered, paused, and then said, "But the giant snake venom, dream flowers, and other materials for preparing Jörmungandr Water, I have prepared.
It’s almost done.”
"Almost? There's just something missing! What's missing? Is it related to what you want to do tonight?" William's heart moved and he asked the old witch directly.
The old witch gave her a look that said, "I guess you're eye-catching." She said with certainty, "That's right!"
"What?" William said straight to the point.
"Pure blood!" the old witch whispered.
"Where?" William said concisely and to the point!
"It's in the Copper Palace!" The old witch came to the window and pointed at the faint palace in the center of the city.
"The Copper Palace? The princess of the Copper Palace?" Speaking of the Copper Palace, William was most impressed by the rumors he heard in the hotel these days. The princess would marry an ordinary soldier. The king could not accept this, so he built a
Bronze Palace, take good care of the princess!
The old witch nodded, confirming William's guess.
William's eyes suddenly froze and he glanced at the sleeping soldier Philip.
William was still deeply impressed by the plot of the fairy tale "Tinderbox". If William hadn't interfered with it, the normal plot would have been that the soldier Philip killed the old witch, came to the city, summoned three void hounds, and killed the old witch.
The king and most of the nobles of this city forcibly married the princess and sat on the throne of the king!
But the tinderbox was taken by William, and the soldier Philip himself was kidnapped by William, and his life trajectory changed dramatically.
Not to mention forcibly marrying a princess and becoming a king, there is no guarantee that he will be killed by the old witch when he is of no use value!
