Release that Witch

Chapter 689: Step into the west

Views:

After nearly half a month of sailing, the sailboat finally entered the western boundary.

After crossing Liuye Town, the north wind blowing across the river suddenly became much stronger. Even if you were lying in the cabin, you could hear the sound of the sails being pulled.

"It's snowing outside!"

Amy excitedly ran into the cabin holding a cluster of snowflakes and handed it to No. 76. But before I could show it, the snowflakes melted into a cloud of crystal water droplets. "It's white everywhere. It's the first time I've seen such a big snow."

No. 76 struggled to sit up from the soft slump, "Really? It rarely snows in Dawn's Glorious City."

But Taquila is never short of snow... She thought, the Demon Moon always arrives on schedule, and cleaning up the snow for months after another is also a hassle. Fortunately, the devil will also suspend the pace of attack during this period, making the white world look a little more cute.

"I know, Glorious City is like spring all year round," Amy's eyes curled into a crescent moon, "Would you like to go to the deck to have a look? I can carry you."

"Don't make a fuss," said Broken Sword, who was cooking herbs on the side. "Her injury is not healed yet, so she can't blow the cold wind."

"Ah... sorry."

"It's alright," No. 76 shook his head. "When I recover, I'll accompany you to enjoy the snow with you, okay? His Majesty's city is closer to the west than here, and there will definitely be many beautiful snow scenes."

As soon as these words came out, the two people beside the bed showed sad expressions, but Amy quickly recovered, and she nodded heavily, "Well, then it's settled!"

No. 76 knew what they were upset about... The God's Punishment Army's body has a strong ability to recover. Skin injuries that don't hurt the internal organs can heal on their own after three or four days of rest. The thigh bones and elbow joints were crushed into powder. As a result, even a body as strong as this body cannot be completely restored to its original state. However, in the eyes of outsiders, it is fortunate that such an injury can survive. If there is no witch in the West, she will lose the ability to move forever, and her lower body will be spent in remnants and pain.

For No. 76, this body is just a tool to complete the task. As long as she can return to the underground labyrinth, she can change to a new one at any time. As it turns out, the story she made up worked perfectly, and Annie was full of guilt about her being badly wounded, as can be seen in the other person's eyes and actions. The other witches were full of trust and gratitude, especially Amy, who was also a "dark money" escapee, and was about to stick with her. Even when she went to bed at night, Amy would stay by her side, whispering folk tales to lull her to sleep.

Although it is always this lively little girl who is the first to fall asleep every time.

Gaining the witch's trust is exactly what No. 76 wants. Only in this way can she deal with more witches and find out what Pasha said about the Chosen One.

"It's time to change the dressing," Broken Sword carried the crock pot to the head of the bed, "it may be a little painful, it's better to close your eyes and not look at it."

"I can't help it, you can change it," Seventy-six gritted her teeth and pretended to be strong - in fact, if she didn't stare, she would have no way of knowing whether Broken Sword started to change the medicine, what would happen in that case? Cooperate with each other's actions

The boiled herbs are like a sticky ooze. Judging from the expressions of Amy and Broken Sword, it is known that the smell of this ooze must be unpleasant.

In the small airtight cabin, insisting on smearing her wounds with this thing is really embarrassing for them.

After some tossing, Seventy-Six let out a long breath and lay back on the pillow dripping with sweat.

By raising her heartbeat, she can increase the body's temperature, increase blood flow, and produce sweat. Coupled with the slightly trembling limbs and expressions, no one could tell that she was cheating.

As for whether the formula for mortals is effective, it is not within her consideration at all.

"Thank you." After a long time, No. 76 said softly.

"No, that's what we should do," Amy picked up the towel and wiped the sweat from her brow. "We should thank you."

"Amy is right," Broken Sword comforted. "Take a good rest. When you reach Neverwinter, everything will be fine."

After the two left, No. 76 pressed the colorful magic stone ring hidden in his chest and sighed imperceptibly.

Only when the Chosen One is found can everything really get better.

If you can't resist the devil's words, there is only one way for everyone to die - in the face of the battle of divine will that decides their fate, no one can escape this catastrophe.

However, whether the Chosen One exists is always unknown.

According to the remaining documents in the labyrinth ruins, magic power is a gift from the gods to the extraordinary, and every creature who can use magic power must have a key that can open the source of magic power. This just explains why magic is everywhere, yet only a few people can use it.

But everyone's keys are different.

Some witches can whip up a storm and bring life back to life, while others can only heat a bowl or two of porridge or mend torn clothing.

Obviously they are all awakened ones, why is the gap between them like the difference in the sky

This question has plagued the Federation for hundreds of years, and it was not until further study of the various records in the ruins that the surviving witches came up with a vague explanation.

It is the key itself that causes all this.

It has nothing to do with the capacity of magic power, but the essence of magic power - every time the witch uses her ability, she will convert part of the magic power into reality. This process is extremely complicated and cannot be undertaken by the witch, so the gods undertake the corresponding transformation steps. .

Not every witch is equally favored by the gods, so some transformations are very simple, while others are extraordinarily complicated. In other words, the complexity of the key determines the upper limit of the witch's abilities.

It was difficult for No. 76 to understand this statement at first, until Pasha explained it with a simple example - that is the magic stone. Even if their own magic cyclone remains unchanged, witches can still use magic stones to display a variety of effects, which shows that there is no difference in magic power itself, whether it is supernatural or high-level witches, they all use the same power.

In this case, assuming that there is an omnipotent magic stone that can realize any wish, can it easily reverse the witch's disadvantage to the devil

The magic core is such a mechanism - it tries to simulate the magic cyclone and directly asks for power from the gods. In a sense, it can be regarded as the ultimate artificial magic stone, only involving the size of magic, it looks like a crude toy in front of it. . However, experiments have shown that the gods do not give keys to inanimate dead objects, and to activate it, a witch who has a matching key must be present.

That is, the Chosen One.
