The Witch's Imaginary Land: Redemption Comes After Sticking Together

Page 226

You should know that the mother dragon is the most trusted sister guard of the level 6 dragon that Jiang Kehan ​​and the others were scouting. If she is discovered, she will definitely be hunted down by another level 6 dragon!

Why say it again?

Jiang Kehan ​​covered her forehead wearily, unwilling to recall Blake's incredible feat of having five out of seven level 6 dragons, including the Ancient Dragon, chase after them.

She sighed softly, all her eagerness to get a new staff vanished, and now she just wanted to get to the tavern as soon as possible to rest for a while, even if it was just for a short time!

This operation could definitely be called a life-or-death struggle, but it was all because of Blake's reckless and reckless actions; otherwise, it would have been a completely easy mission.

Even if something unexpected happens, it shouldn't be a situation where we have to run away in panic every time, with our integrity completely ruined.

Seemingly sensing Jiang Kehan's resentment, Blake, who was flying in the air, gently jumped to her side and spoke with a grin.

"Heh, how can we not be happy with all this intelligence? It's the result of our hard work."

Jiang Kehan ​​glanced at the other person sideways, wanting to shout out loud that if it weren't for Blake's reckless behavior, they would never have put in so much effort and would have been even happier.

But in the end, she just pursed her lips and spoke wearily.

"I'll be happy once I get the corresponding reward, and if you go wild again next time, I won't help you clear your lustful state, but will just lock the door and let you party to your heart's content."

Blake looked up somewhat guiltily. How could she have imagined that the aphrodisiac she had concocted by Jill would be so potent? She wasn't an alchemist.

However, recalling her incredible actions over the past few days, she couldn't help but chuckle.

After all, Blake had never had anyone to go out with before, so this opportunity was truly rare, and she inevitably became a bit unrestrained.

She was about to explain when she suddenly turned her head to look at the village tavern, her brows furrowing slightly and her expression gradually becoming serious.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Kehan ​​asked curiously, "What's wrong? Did something happen in the village?"

“No.” Blake shook his head and clicked his tongue. “I just sensed Theresa’s unsettling magic. It seems we were right to speed up and come back.”

"The dragon calamity will probably arrive in just a few days."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Kehan ​​clenched her fists. She had witnessed the power of a level 6 dragon in the past few days, but the so-called level 7 dragon would only be more exaggerated. At least for her now, encountering a level 7 dragon would be suicide.

However, she was more concerned about Blake's attitude towards Theresa, so she followed Blake's gaze and asked him a question.

"You don't seem to like Theresa very much?"

"I wouldn't say that. Theresa is usually quite kind to other people, but I always feel..."

Blake smacked his lips, recalling the few times he had met Theresa, and squinted as he spoke.

"Neither her amiable demeanor nor her usual stubborn arrogance could touch her unfathomable thoughts."

"Being in a relationship with Theresa is like being drowning in the deep sea, unable to find any light, and having no idea what awaits you."

"There is an unavoidable unease stemming from her utterly dishonest heart."

Jiang Kehan ​​was a little confused. Theresa sounded like a witch with many secrets, at least she was quite different from the carefree Blake.

She remembered that Del Marie had invited her to meet Theresa, but she didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

But Jiang Kehan ​​wasn't overly worried. After all, with Ye Yu by her side, she figured it was unlikely that she would be fooled by Theresa.

After all, if she controls the script herself, how can the other party play along with her?

Meanwhile, Ye Yu, still half asleep, was unaware that Jiang Kehan ​​had secretly taken a liking to her. She was just yawning, feeling herself getting sleepier and sleepier.

"Never mind, you go back first. I'll go make you a cloak that can resist corrosion," Blake said to Jiang Kehan ​​after thinking for a moment.

"But don't worry too much. I don't think a dignified Prince Xun would covet a foreign witch. Just do what you need to do. If necessary, I'll take you away."

Blake gave Jiang Kehan ​​a thumbs up. When it comes to experience in running away, she is definitely top-notch!

As for why they ran away? That's none of your business.

After Blake finished speaking, he didn't give Jiang Kehan ​​a chance to speak before he launched into a rapid-fire monologue, as fast as ever, which was quite impressive.

Jiang Kehan ​​scratched her head and rolled her eyes helplessly, but she was somewhat wary.

After all, Theresa is a witch who can start a war, so it's never too much to treat her with utmost care.

Witches are more rational and obsessive than normal humans. They are usually unwilling to get involved in wars, as it would not be good for their own future.

Therefore, for something to become the trigger for war, it absolutely requires the right timing, location, and people.

But according to Ye Yu, Theresa almost single-handedly brought the war forward by three years.

Jiang Kehan ​​pondered as she walked towards the tavern, but she walked slowly, allowing herself enough time to rest.

Even though the witch's energy was practically superhuman, she was still exhausted by Blake's "genius" operations. However, she did gain something from this mission.

The most significant lesson Jiang Kehan ​​learned was how to bravely draw her sword and maneuver against the intimidation of the gods.

Instead of recklessly replicating the deathmatch of the witch's duel, they would only get crushed.

Because the gods are much faster than her and can emit special intimidation, they prevent her from making quick judgments. After all, the improvement of life level is all-round, and waiting for the right opportunity is the instinct of those who hunt gods.

Driven by their inner impulses, they wait for the right opportunity to act.

These were all things that Blake had taught her.

Chapter 328 Uneasiness

When Jiang Kehan ​​slowly pushed open the tavern door, she peeked inside and saw that Del Marie was sitting with a witch who was smaller but still slightly taller than her.

Hmm, sitting at a stone table that I don't know where it came from, I felt out of place with the simple decor around me.

The shop manager was grinding the seeds of some kind of plant for the two of them; perhaps it was coffee from this era?

Jiang Kehan ​​didn't pay much attention to that. Instead, she was curious about Del Marie and the witch who was probably Theresa. They sat there quietly without exchanging any words.

Seemingly noticing Jiang Kehan's arrival, the store manager waved to her and asked with a smile.

"Miss Kehan, would you like a drink? It should wash away your fatigue."

Jiang Kehan ​​smiled and nodded; she was really looking forward to relaxing.

Meanwhile, Theresa, who was lost in thought at the stone table, heard the shopkeeper's words and gently lifted her eyelids to look at Jiang Kehan.

Huh?

Theresa was slightly surprised. She subtly tapped Del Marie with her magic and spoke to Jiang Kehan ​​at the same time.

"You must be Ms. Jiang Kehan, whom Del Marie introduced to me. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Jiang Kehan ​​looked at Theresa's cold smile, a few strands of hair clinging to her lips, and was somewhat bewildered.

She simply couldn't be sure whether Theresa was expressing goodwill or saying something sarcastic; all she could see was a young lady with scrutiny and contempt.

Well, the last person Jiang Kehan ​​couldn't figure out was Wu Yuhan.

Can you see the future too, Miss Theresa?

Jiang Kehan ​​looked at Deir Marie for help, nodding slightly, appearing somewhat reserved.

She had considered many possibilities of meeting Theresa, but she never expected that the other party would be even more cold-hearted than she had imagined.

Wait a minute, didn't Blake and Del Marie both say Theresa was very kind?

As if guessing Jiang Kehan's thoughts, Theresa looked at Jiang Kehan's somewhat bewildered face, and tugged at the corners of her mouth as if she were smiling.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm also struggling with how to make my smile look gentler, but it seems like I'm not cut out for it."

"But you're one of the more amiable witches after seeing my smile," Theresa said softly, gesturing for Jiang Kehan ​​to come and sit down.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yu yawned and idly reminded Jiang Kehan ​​in her mind.

"A witch's evolution is controlled by her inner self. The fact that she smiles coldly only shows that that's the kind of person she is inside."

"Well, that's why I could tell you were a rather cute witch the first time we met."

Ye Yu smiled, leaving Jiang Kehan ​​speechless. Was he implying that her smile looked silly?

However, Ye Yu's words were far more trustworthy than Theresa's. Looking at Theresa's seemingly apologetic and troubled expression, she became extremely wary.

According to Ye Yu's theory, Theresa is probably essentially a self-centered person who disregards the opinions of others.

"It's nothing, but isn't the one with the bad temper Miss Blake?" Jiang Kehan ​​changed the subject, choosing not to sit opposite Theresa, but instead leaning against her.

She was somewhat unaccustomed to the scrutinizing gaze, especially since Theresa's eyes were unusually deep.

Blake is right, Theresa is definitely a tricky one, and she's unsettling.

"Oh?" Theresa looked at Jiang Kehan ​​with a troubled expression, her face darkening slightly. Clearly, she also knew what kind of person Blake was.

"You guessed right, Lord Black is also the kind of person who doesn't like me very much, and she almost threw wine in my face when we first met."

Jiang Kehan ​​was not surprised when she heard this. Instead, she nodded as if it were the most natural thing for her to do.

“But that’s all in the past. I’m actually more curious about you.” Theresa shrugged, reached into her pocket, pulled out a silver bookmark, and handed it to Jiang Kehan ​​with a smile.

"I initially thought that Del Marie's praise of you was somewhat untrue, but after meeting you, I realized that she was actually being modest."

Theresa looked intently at Jiang Kehan, her gaze deep and thoughtful.

"Consider this bookmark a little gift from me, haha."

Jiang Kehan ​​did not accept it, but looked at Deir Marie instead. She was not familiar with Fran's customs, nor did she know what special meaning this gift had.

At the same time, she also made sure to have the Heroic Spirit Cat find out Theresa's data.

【Name: Theresa】

[Race: Witch]

[Magic Power: Approximately 12500 points]

[Life Level: Peak Level 6]

[Combat Level: Approximately Peak Level 8]

[Magic Trait - Devour: Possessing other recently deceased creatures to gain comprehensive enhancements is a unique talent exclusive to the Punisher; perhaps she has the potential to become the pinnacle of life.]

[You've run into Theresa, that lunatic? Well, good luck. I'm going to take a break now—Anonymous Researcher.]

woc!

Jiang Kehan's eyes widened slightly. She tried her best not to look at Theresa to avoid attracting the other woman's attention.

This data is incorrect!

If Dale Marie wasn't lying to Jiang Kehan, then Theresa's combat power was only barely at level 8, but what the hell is this level 8 peak?!

So Theresa even kept it a secret from her own accomplices!
