"We can't explain why you came here, proposed a hypothesis, and wanted to conduct this experiment. Oh, by the way, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you in advance the subject of this experiment... This idea was also proposed by Xiwei."

Miss Carina pointed at the brown-haired witch, who was quite surprised that she was given so many "ideas" at once.

The Duchess explained:

"Xiwei thought that since you were immune to the witch's curse, you might have a deeper connection with the witch. That's why we tried to bring you in. Whether it succeeds or not, we can have new ideas about your characteristics. However, no one expected that it would really succeed without any obstacles."

"This is very interesting. Before this, it's not like no one has thought about bringing people without witch powers in here, but there has never been any successful example."

Miss Aurora thought about it for a moment and looked Shade up and down:

"Hamilton, forget it, I'll just call you 'Shad'. Shad, forget what happened today and never tell anyone about it. Carina and I will try to figure out your uniqueness. Rather than being immune to the witch's curse, entering the parliament is the real thing that could get you into trouble."

"I see."

Xia De nodded cautiously and casually placed his hands on the stone table.

"That's all for today, you can leave now. If Shade has any ideas and wants to come in again, I'll find an opportunity next time. But remember, no one should reveal what happened today, and don't even talk about it on your own initiative."

Miss Carina glanced at Miss Aurora.

"You don't need to remind me of this, Carina. You treat him as your treasure, and I won't treat him as an ordinary man."

The two ladies stood up, and Miss Carina handed the book she had to Miss Aurora:

"What I promised you last time."

Behind their chairs, in front of the worn stone steps leading upward, a white mist door appeared.

"You can choose to use any door, but you can only return to the place where you came from, so you can't use this place for space jumps. The members of the parliament still have to rely on steam trains to meet in reality."

Miss Aurora said, holding Shad's hand to prevent him from getting lost as they left. Shad said goodbye to Miss Carina, who looked worried, before following Miss Aurora into the door behind her seat.

"Any information?"

I asked in my heart as I passed through the white mist door.

Yes, stranger, by touching the stone table, you have gained more information. Sacrifice a drop of divinity inside the "Witch Council" and you can obtain the right to vote for two votes. This is a consumable item, not a permanent two votes.

Shade followed Miss Aurora through the door and back into the hallway of the manor.

"Sacrificing divinity in the space maze can obtain a brand new signpost. But besides divinity, there is also white stone crystal as another option. I don't think the parliament will also want white stone crystal, right? What does the parliament want?"

Outsiders, you can collect "Witch's Resonance" to obtain two consumable votes. Multiple resonances can be stacked together to obtain more votes.

"What is this? It doesn't sound like a real substance like white stone crystal."

I thought I wouldn't get a reply, but I knew the answer right away:

Find the place where the witches who once had the right to vote died. Since you already have the "echo" spirit rune, that space gives you information about absorbing the remnants they left in history and civilization. Once successful, the remnant will be left in your soul, which is the "witch remnant". In addition to the right to vote, this can also allow you to obtain some knowledge of witches.

Shade nodded, but showed little interest.

Even if they have voting rights, the number of witches present at the parliament must exceed the minimum to open the meeting. Therefore, even if Shade gets 100 "Witch Resonances" and has 200 voting rights, he must get more witches involved to use the power of the parliament.

Shade didn't want to deal with more witches.

However, if he really has a chance to get the "Witch's Echo", he will not give up. After all, he is still very interested in the knowledge of witches.

"When you travel in the future, in addition to paying attention to local cult myths, you should also pay attention to rumors of witches."

He thought in his heart and said:

"Miss Aurora, since the ancient god, the Chaos Witch, left behind this kind of space, did other ancient gods also leave behind similar things? If so, what is the meaning of the existence of these spaces?"

He asked Miss Aurora, who was worried, and she led Shade to the study and gave a very simple answer:

"The thirteen ancient gods all have similar legacies. Each space has a unique function, but the Council is not very interested in other spaces. As for their significance, I'm sorry, after the turmoil of the epoch and the destruction of the witch civilization of the Fifth Epoch, some secret information has been lost, so I can't give an answer. Most of the Council's information is in the hands of the First Chair. I just know that these places are very important."

But since the Witch Council can control the Witch Council, other spaces may also be found and used by some forces. For example, the Creator of Dusk's birthing room, it is said that the Blood Spirit School has made great progress.

As the Prophet Association is a gathering organization for the followers of Mr. Ancient God Ring, Xia De even speculated that they might also control the space corresponding to destiny.

"Hmm... It's really complicated."

Xia De did not do anything else that day. Before dinner, he used the space of Aurora Manor to try to use the ritual in the paper to enhance the effect of time perception. However, this enhancement only made his perception of the current time more accurate, but it did not help him get the answer he wanted.

What Xia De tried today was the relatively simple method described in the paper. He would also try other methods that were more demanding or required rare ritual materials one by one in the future.

Just looking through the conclusion of the paper, the St. Byron student who wrote this article did not mention that he had doubts about the time of the Sixth Epoch when he was trying. But the author only tried part of the content in the article, and the rest were hypotheses based on principles, so Shade needed to try those hypothetical parts.

Even if there is no result, at least he can write an article for publication. Correspondence students can get many rewards for publishing articles.

After returning home, Shad visited Dr. Schneider and Priest Augustus at night and gave them the Coldwater Harbor specialty medicinal liquor.

Of course, he did not forget to try to sing the witch's song on the open first floor of No. 6 St. Teresa's Square, wanting to see if he could enter the ancient corridor before the White Mist Gate by himself.

But after trying three or four times, Shade didn't get anything except the not-so-beautiful singing that almost annoyed Mia. Apparently, the conditions for entering the corridor were not as simple as just singing.

"Could it be that I don't sing well?"

Shade had also considered this possibility, but it was obvious that all witches could not be singers as skilled as Miss Aurora... Considering the witches' common charisma and figure, being good at singing was also a characteristic of witches, so it did not seem impossible.

"The Time Corridor, the Space Labyrinth, the Creation Delivery Room, the Judge's Court, the Silver Moon Library, this is already the sixth place. There are more and more things that I can't figure out... ... Is the Dark Dungeon the same?"

He yawned while holding the cat and looked at the moon outside the window. When Mia also started to yawn, Shad decided to go to the study to read for a while before going to bed.

Foreigners are also very hardworking.
