Xuefu was extremely unwilling to approach this witch Agatha if it was not necessary.
Because ever since she could remember, she had always felt that this Agatha witch was a little eerie and mysterious, hiding in her hut all day long and making some inexplicable and evil things. But what made her helpless was that Agatha was also the most effective witch in the family of deceitful witches who recognized divination.
Because of her withdrawn personality and ugly appearance, Witch Agatha is not very popular with the deceitful witches. So she spends most of the year in a haunted cabin in the Whispering Woods west of town.
This is already the hinterland of the deceitful witch's territory, and it stands to reason that it is impossible for any overly powerful monsters and strange monsters to appear again. But because of the existence of the Haunted Cabin and the existence of Agatha, this Whispering Forest has become a terrible forbidden place that ordinary people turn pale upon hearing.
After a while, even ordinary witches are unwilling to set foot here!
Therefore, when Xuefu landed at the entrance of the Whispering Forest on his broomstick, he had to hesitate before making up his mind to go in.
Agatha Witch's haunted hut is a full 7 miles away from the entrance of the forest, and Xue Fu didn't fall into the sky early out of respect for the witch. Rather, there are also evils in the Whispering Forest. Looking down from the sky, you will always see the silent dense forest and the perennial fog.
Although the reputation of Witch Agatha is not good in the family, in the eyes of ordinary citizens, they have a different opinion.
Agatha was good at herbal medicine and divination.
For those ordinary people who bravely venture into the Whispering Forest and are lucky enough to find the haunted hut, as long as they can pay enough, they can ask her for witchcraft to cure their loved ones or ask her for divination.
But it is not easy for ordinary people to do this.
At least, after Xue Fu walked into the Whispering Forest, what he saw head-on were four or five trails hidden in the thick fog, as well as a directional sign inserted obliquely on the side of the road.
Due to no one taking care of it for a long time, the road sign was covered with withered and yellowed plant vines, covered with dust and broken cobwebs, and the gray-black handwriting was blurred and illegible.
Xue Fu walked over and stretched out his hand to gently pull, and the withered vines broke into countless pieces, scattered here and there. Just as Xuefu was about to brush off the dust on the road sign and make a good identification of the location of the haunted house, she was startled by a harsh hissing "croak" above her head.
A weird black crow flew down from the sky, landed on the wooden fork pointing the road sign, tilted its neck, and stared at her coldly with blood-red eyes.
The red-eyed crow is one of the most common low-level monsters in the general forest.
Xuefu sensed the special fluctuation of the "eye of witchcraft" in the red-eyed crow.
"Your Excellency Agatha, Xuefu is here to visit you and hopes to be received by you!" Xuefu said respectfully.
Except for that witch Agatha, there is no one else who can cast monster eyeliner in the Whispering Forest.
"It turned out to be little girl Xuefu! I remember you, you are Leina's daughter, Angelina's granddaughter...I didn't expect to see you in more than ten years, you have grown so big..." The red-eyed crow tilted his head and looked around She said in a hoarse voice: "Since you're here, come here directly! You're right to follow Philip, I'll be waiting for you in the haunted house..."
After saying that, the red-eyed crow flapped its pitch-black wings and jumped up, spreading its wings and flying towards the depths of the forest.
There were clearly four or five roads looming in front of him, but the red-eyed crow didn't fly to any of them. Instead, it spread its wings and flew towards a tall ghost tree whose leaves were almost gone. What is quite strange is that such a spooky tree is clearly in front of you, but this red-eyed crow slammed into it as if nothing was there, and disappeared into the thick fog.
Illusion
Xuefu could only quickly follow behind it, and bravely passed through the illusion barrier.
My eyes lit up.
After passing through the illusion barrier, the gloomy and depressing forest just now returned to its normal appearance. Tall and verdant old trees, green lawns, and many unknown strange flowers... The sun is clearly invisible in the sky, but the bright sunlight shines through the mottled shadows of the trees, printing uncertain light and shadows on the grass .
Under the leadership of the red-eyed crow, Xuefu continued to go deep into the forest. Of course, along the way, he also saw a large area of medicine gardens and gardens, all of which were full of dense plants and flowers, and of course there were more strange things that could not be named. herbs.
Unceasingly turning around in the forest, passing through botanical gardens and herbal gardens one after another, Xuefu finally turned a corner and saw a deserted hut hidden in the thick fog.
The wooden house was about two stories high, and the whole looked old and broken. From the wooden cracks in the walls, the faint yellow light of the candles could be faintly seen.
As the crooked wooden door opened with a creak, a crooked, ugly old witch stared silently at Xuefu leaning on a cane. The dim candlelight shone from behind her, leaving more and heavier shadows on her face.
But even so, Xue Fu's enhanced eyesight has already seen clearly.
Wrapped in the gray peaked hat and the dirty old witch's robe, what comes into view is the wrinkled bark-like skin, the hooked nose like an eagle's beak, the cloudy and cold eyes of dead fish, and the incomplete burnt yellow eyes teeth…
With the strength of witches, as long as they are willing to spend some time and resources, they can have a reasonable appearance and figure. And the other party is willing to maintain such a terrifying and disgusting appearance, either because he has been in contact with some highly toxic or highly radioactive items all year round, or he has a distorted mind that is difficult for outsiders to understand.
Witch Agatha's attire is also a traditional wizard's attire. With the improvement of witchcraft and the popularity of witchcraft, such attire is rarely seen. Only some old-fashioned witches are still trying to maintain the traditions of ancient witches!
And Xuefu was wearing a light blue long dress at the moment, except for a few small accessories with witchcraft fluctuations, there were hardly many decorations related to witches. Looking closely, she looks like a snowy beauty full of delicate and psychic temperament. It is hard to believe that she is actually a trainee witch with quasi-witch power.
"Come in!" Agatha let the door open: "Since you came here, you must have something to do. Come in and talk!"
The environment inside the house was also consistent with its appearance, not only dark and damp, but also eerie.
In the corners of the cabin, large and small wooden boxes and glassware are piled up. As for the soup pot, stove, experiment table and crooked wooden table, there are quite a few common things in these witch huts.
Agatha moved to the soup pot with difficulty, stirred the muddy soup with a wooden spoon covered with grease, took a spoonful and put it to her mouth to taste it.
"Tell me... what are you doing here? Divination or medicine?"
"Your Excellency Agatha, I... I've been entangled in divination by others recently, and it's hard to get rid of it, so I want to borrow your power..." Xue Fu hesitated, and finally stated his purpose.
"Divination?" Agatha raised her head in surprise, her dead fish-like eyes were firmly fixed on Xue Fu: "Impossible... You have the blessing of Witch Angelina on you, and ordinary divination is impossible. Impossible to act on you!"
"Maybe the other party is not using ordinary divination?"
Witch Agatha took a step forward, leaned close to Xue Fu and sniffed lightly.
"Hmm... it's really weird! Why do I smell a little bit of fate..." Agatha raised her head and stared at her in astonishment: "I heard that you awakened the blood of the fate witch, so it stands to reason that this time should be fate." You are right. But why do I smell the curse of fate on you?"
Xue Fu hesitated, and finally spoke.
"Grandma Angelina is worried that I won't be able to successfully pass the battle of fate, and has already sent people to various parts of the mainland to clean up those fate awakeners."
"Stupid!" Agatha thumped the wooden staff on the floor: "She is the leader of the deceitful witches, and she is a powerful fourth-level witch, so she would do such a stupid thing!"
At this moment, Agatha looked so heartbroken.
"Did she forget the rules left by the Witch King? How dare she intervene in the internal affairs of the Destiny Witches? The Destiny Witches have been cut off for nearly a thousand years, and now is the time for them to rise again. This is The whole Northland witch needs to pay attention to the top priority, and the patriarch's intervention is so obvious, don't you worry about being cursed by fate and implicating the whole line of deceitful witches?"
Xue Fu lowered her head, her crystal clear snow-white pretty face was also full of sadness.
Turning her head to see Xue Fu, Agatha couldn't help stomping her feet and sighing inwardly: "Hey, it seems that no matter how powerful a witch is, when she faces the test of her blood relatives, she will make such a stupid mistake. It's fate!"
"Master Agatha, the lineage of the Witch of Destiny has been cut off for so long, so I'm afraid it won't have too much influence, right?"
"Hmph, what do you little girl know? It is precisely because they have cut off the tradition for too long that this return is more worth looking forward to. According to the agreement between the ancient witches and the laws of the plane, the lost inheritance returns after accumulating power for thousands of years , do you think its momentum will be small? Don’t forget that the awakening of the Witch of Destiny this time has covered the entire wizarding continent, and news of the awakened can be heard even in the farthest south. This is not enough to explain everything ?"
"Master Agatha, then I..."
"Cough, I understand!" Witch Agatha sighed, "The more your grandma does for you, the deeper the curse of the law of fate will be on you. It's no wonder that you are deeply affected by divination." Trouble! Well, since you're here, I can't let you go back empty-handed. For the sake of the same line of deceitful witches, let me see for you which blind guy has been spying on you !"
"Come with me… "
