Chapter 683: Chapter 367: Moonlight Great Witch and the Location of the Witches Gathering_2

That’s why I have to take this assertive action.

Moreover, it’s impossible for me to make the witches keep the assembly in this village by compromising. Or rather, doing so would make things even more dangerous.

That’s why I have to take decisive action.

Ivita said to the Hearthstone Witch, "We will bring another fifty soldiers to search this village’s houses, walls, and ground."

The Hearthstone Witch giggled. "Ha ha ha...sure, your highness. I will bestow Flame Barrier Magic on all the torches in the soldiers’ hands. This way, even if there are Concealment Curses, they would be burnt away by the flame."

...

The witches’ gathering in the village—on the Street of Wolfmen and Witches in Chongke Village—was like a dark secret room. The complex labyrinth made up of numerous walls was adorned with rows of white candles, which would automatically be replaced with new ones after burning out.

At this time, many witches and wolfmen left their shops on this street and gathered together.

They all looked tense.

"The foolhardy soldiers of the lord who suddenly broke into our village from outside have surrounded the village and started searching the ground. It seems like they are coming for us. What shall we do now?"

"Army? Soldiers? Whom did they belong to? A Viscount? A Baron or an Earl’s army? I heard that the new Lord Earl of this territory is a very powerful wizard. His subordinates are also very formidable, and he has many ghastly soldiers under his command. That’s why we wolfmen decided to leave this village, even though we already regarded it as our home."

"Don’t be afraid, everyone. We have reinforced the Concealment Curse with ritual magic. I think, for now, those minions won’t find us. As long as we wait until nightfall, we can use the Moonlight Pool on the street to leave this place. However, the Moonlight Pool only transports living humans and organisms, so I suppose we will have to abandon our property."

A Great Witch came out, holding a stone shaped like a crescent moon. She said to the crowd, "As long as we have this Crescent Stone Ball, a symbol of the organizer of the street assembly, we can control the Moonlight Pool. Unless they have powerful Spatial Magic, they couldn’t possibly stop us."

"I, a student of the Witch Marquis Sea Spirit Witch—the Moonlight Great Witch assure you all, I will protect you."

Upon hearing this, the witches and the wolfmen breathed a sigh of relief.

But on the dark, gloomy street, a young female wolfman asked her naively, "What if the soldiers outside can use powerful Spatial Magic?"

Before the Moonlight Great Witch could reply, she felt an immense vibration throughout the entire street, as if someone outside was hammering their street with a giant mallet.

The Moonlight Great Witch looked around and turned pale.

Because the candles in the dark street were being extinguished one by one.

It was as if a dark veil was covering the candle flames.

A powerful surge of dark energy was rushing towards their underground secret gathering place.

The Moonlight Great Witch looked at the withered Moonlight Pool at the end of the street, which was now devoid of moonlight, and her expression turned grim. "It appears they are attacking our space with a very powerful dark Magical Power. That too is a powerful Spatial Magic."

"If the Concealment Curse is broken, we should prepare for the worst—force our way out of Chongke Village, our second home, and never return."

The witches and wolfmen did not keep up with the Moonlight Great Witch’s change of attitude. Some of them were still dazed, while others were crying low.

Although most witches and wolfmen came here for trade, there was still a considerable number of them who considered this place as a social gathering spot, a place to make friends, and a significant part of their life.

Because witches and wolfmen are actually social outcasts.

Most of these people are of low-level professions and do not have many social occasions. If they want to make friends with those similar to themselves, they can only come here.

This place has almost become the center of their lives.

...

Meanwhile, on the surface of Chongke Village, Ivita did not have to wait long. The fifty soldiers used their torches to survey everything they inspected, and they quickly found a suspicious wall.

Because that was the magic flame created by the Hearthstone Witch.

It couldn’t naturally extinguish, nor could it ignite ordinary objects—it could only ignite objects infused with magic.

However, one soldier still had his torch extinguish as its flame hit the wall of a mill unexpectedly, leaving a burnt patch on the wall.

This attracted the attention of Ivita’s soldiers.

Among the dozens of gathered soldiers, they quickly called over the Hearthstone Witch, who was supervising them. Upon seeing the anomaly on the wall, the Hearthstone Witch promptly summoned Ivita.

Inside the mill, the Hearthstone Witch said to Ivita, "I knew it! Those damn girls could not keep barging into the villagers’ homes for their meetings. They must have chosen the mill for sure. However, there is a powerful shield spell over that wall. To unlock it, we’ll need some magical materials. Most materials I have in my ghost carriage, but I lack the blood of a chaste black dog."
