Chapter 257: Chapter 175: The Carrier Chosen by United Magic_1

The Ice Witch told Lord Ivita the materials needed for the Union Magic Ritual. "First, we need a massive bonfire. Second, we need a hundred pebbles. Finally, we need enough salt to scatter around the bonfire, approximately two kilometers in length."

"At least ten dolls made of straw men, each as tall as a person, but without quality requirements."

"Two jars of Rootless Water, a bag of earth from a new grave, and a finger from a mummy."

The Ice Witch looked down at the crystal ball in her left hand, "The final material is the aggregation crystal ball in my hand."

"These requirements should not be difficult to achieve, they’re just trivial and need a lot of effort."

Lord Ivita nodded, and said to everyone, "I will arrange for people to do it immediately."

"But please, follow my water elemental to my study."

"Before I prepare the ceremony supplies, I hope you all give me some face and do not engage in any quarrels or fights."

The Pan God and several witches all expressed agreement.

Lord Ivita immediately ran to the front of his bed, rang a bell, summoned the steward, and then asked the steward to notify the Griffin Knights, Black Wolf, Rayli, and other knights and attendants in the castle to wake up from their dreams. He told them he was going to hold a massive Union Magic Ritual to confront the enemy - the Witch’s Graveyard.

He asked them to wake up all the servants and maids in the castle to prepare all the materials needed for the ritual magic and have them stay away from the big lawn in the central courtyard of the castle.

First, the identities of the Pan God and witches could not be known by too many people.

Second, the impact of Union Magic was too serious; people with weak will power might be greatly influenced by the magic.

The knights woke up all the servants inside the castle.

The steward and Tartax distributed tasks to everyone.

When the female and male servants were all gathered in the servant’s lounge, the Griffin Knight sternly told them, "In the latter half of the night, all of you must stay in this lounge and you absolutely cannot go out, not even to open the windows."

"This is an order from Lord."

After the Griffin Knight left, some young maids became scared and started discussing what had happened - why they has to wake up in the middle of the night to work, and stay in the lounge in the latter half of the night.

Alysia held her child and severely warned a few gossiping girls, which made them stop discussing.

But Alysia herself was also worried. As Rayli passed by the corridor next to the lounge, she stopped him. "Mr. Rayli, do you know what has happened?"

Rayli spread his hands, "I also just heard about it. It is said that there’s a powerful enemy who has provoked Lord Ivita."

"Now we just need to prepare for war."

"Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal."

"Just tonight, probably all of us in the castle will be restless. Oh yes, I remember we have stored last week’s rainwater in the basement of the castle. That is Rootless Water. Remember to get someone to bring up two terracotta jars."

Rayli said.

Alysia nodded and said, "Thanks to the protection of Lord, we are able to live a prosperous life."

She walked away.

Watching her leave in haste, Rayli looked up at the window and found that it was a full moon tonight.

...

In the study, the Ice Witch said to Ivita, "If we could choose a living person, use the aggregation crystal to gather our magic onto that person, the effect would be better."

"This person would become a super-human, capable of restraining our common enemy for a long period of time. If this person also happens to be an experienced soldier, that would be even better."

Pan chimed in, "I think you could consider this. With so many people on your land, there should be plenty willing to be imbued with magic."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Ivita wrinkled his brow. "What will happen to the person who is imbued with our Union Magic?"

The Ice Witch replied to Ivita bluntly, "They will gradually die over a few months, their body destroyed by the magic."

"If it were so simple to create a new Magic Creature, the world would have been in chaos long ago."

"Only witches with the highest level of magic might be able to create creatures superior to natural life. Vampires and Wolfmen were once masterpieces of these witches. Even demons and devils are lives created by witches."

"But our magic is not that sophisticated, our magic is too crude."

Ivita immediately said, "Then I refuse."

"I am the lord of this place. Does it make sense that as a lord, I should harm my own civilians?"

"This is not reasonable."

It seems that Pan God had predicted this and said with a strange laugh: "Really, Ivita, do you want to reconsider?"

Ivita gave him a look.

The Ice Witch, upon hearing her suggestion was immediately rejected, didn’t mind at all. Instead, she said to Ivita: "You have just been a wizard for too short a time."

"Not taking my suggestion, that’s your prerogative. But if our Union Magic doesn’t have a vessel, it won’t be able to unleash its full power."

Milani looked at Ivita approvingly.

Ivita’s earlier performance was more than enough to convince her that allying with Ivita was the best choice she had made in her life.

A friendly lord like Ivita is needed both in Kappa Town and the Witch Cemetery.

Pan God snapped his fingers to draw everyone’s attention. "It’s simple, we can find a human-shaped object. I will use my magic power to give this humanoid object a heartbeat, thus tricking our magic."

"In this way, it’s like we’re using a living person to conduct the Union Magic Ritual."

Pan God pointed at the water elemental outside the study, "I think that humanoid water elemental is very suitable."

"It’s better than using a living being."

"And..."

Ivita’s heart jolted, realizing that the water elemental was summoned by his own Dragon Palace Magic.

If everyone converged their magic power to create a new magic creature, he could copy this magic creature with Dragon Palace Magic, and make it a standard summon of Dragon Palace Magic.

Dragon Palace Magic is a high-growth spell, it has this ability.

In this way, he wouldn’t have to use his own civilians as sacrifices, and would even gain benefits.

Ivita said, "I agree."

He immediately summoned the water elemental into the study.

The Ice Witch looked at the water elemental scrutinizingly, and after observing the whirlpool inside it, she nodded in agreement. "It is indeed better than using a living person."

"This water elemental can withstand powerful forces and self-heal. We don’t have to worry about excessive power destroying the vessel and causing our ritual to fail."

Pan God and Ivita looked at Milani and her teacher.

Of course, Milani and others had no objections.

Having decided on the carrier of the magic power, Ivita suddenly thought of the old witch who was still hiding in a room on the first floor.

He immediately left the study and went to the old witch’s place.

The first floor corridor was silent. Due to sending the attendants away earlier for safety and work, the corridor was indeed empty.

Ivita pushed open the old witch’s bedroom and found her asleep on the desk. She was sleeping soundly; she hadn’t even woken up when he entered the room. The Hearthstone Witch was not startled at all.

Ivita was speechless.

Because she was clearly pretending to sleep, there was even a packed bag on the bed.

Besides, the situation appeared a bit unusual.

She was probably ready to run the moment he set foot on the corridor where this room was located.

It was just that he happened to come over, and she hurriedly pretended to sleep.

Ivita coughed once, seeing no reaction, he coughed a second time.

It was only then that the Hearthstone Witch pretended to wake up from sleep, sitting up from the table, "Ah, what’s wrong, Your Majesty? Is our castle under attack?"
