It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 653 The Witches' Pranks

Crossing the suspension bridge to the other side, the bridge that Ah Hu Lili was worried about collapsing halfway across did not happen.

She noticed that Luo Wei's expression suddenly became very serious, but she didn't ask any questions. After all, he could always sense the gaze that she couldn't, and he always noticed the problem before she did.

After reminding her not to show any suspicion, Lowe telepathically told her about the sights.

'...Is she a witch?'

"I should be able to, but we're still quite far. Just keep traveling as usual."

The apostles do not inherit everything from their masters.

His golden eyes were a power given to him by Lucifer, and had nothing to do with Minoni's divine core. Lily could not inherit such an ability.

Deep red trees lined up before my eyes, shrouded in an ancient and murky atmosphere. The deeper I went, the more I realized that the fog I had seen before was completely different from what I saw here. It was as if this place was the source, and the outside world was just a result of being affected and altered. It was a completely different atmosphere. The light and shadow were distorted in a hazy way, and the trees looked like an oil painting, making it hard to see clearly.

Ah Hu Lili kept her mouth shut the whole time.

Luo Wei also sensed that, besides the two of them, there seemed to be other visitors deep in the forest, but they probably came directly through the whirlpool in the crevice.

He had planned to give Lily some extra time to replenish his mana on the way, but it seemed that the other visitors had the same idea and had all arrived early.

A fire was lit in a clearing in the deep forest at night.

Ah Hu Lili fell asleep hugging her big tail, while Luo Wei took charge of keeping watch.

The next day, they finally discovered traces of human construction. In the deep red forest where the light hardly changed between day and night, the two found a street lamp with a faint glow.

And under the illumination of the side streetlights, a stone-paved road gradually extends forward.

As we continued along the road, it became wider and wider, with several side roads converging together. Judging from this alone, the area here was probably larger than we had imagined. A rough estimate suggested that the road covered an area roughly the size of a city-state, and we still didn't know what the main area ahead was.

As the blurry, pointed building came into view, Rowe and Ah Hu Lili finally saw people on the main road.

There were four young women of different heights, builds, and clothing. When they appeared, one of them turned her head to look at them.

Without a doubt, all four of them are witches.

Luo Wei didn't greet them or pay attention to their gazes. As long as they didn't stop him, he would just walk in and go wherever he wanted. He didn't mind ransacking their hideout first.

After passing the four people, he soon saw three witches on the other side of the road.

One of them was dressed in clothing that was clearly from the East, but Luo Wei didn't pay any attention to her and walked past her without talking to her.

Ah Hu Lili followed his pace in small steps.

No matter how you look at these women...

Luo Wei knew that each of them was beautiful and possessed ancient and powerful abilities, having played a pivotal role in various stories across the continent and each having their own name.

The Witches' Guild is a group of people like that.

In those stories, they were not only the protagonists, but also observers in a macro sense, witnessing the rise and fall of things. Each of them was an extremely special existence.

As he passed a deep red pavilion, the witch there began to look at him with ill intent.

Lowe ignored this.

If he could, he would like to find another outsider who was invited like him, but he didn't see any along the way, so he had to give up and continue on his way.

He saw the purple-haired and green-haired witches again, but ignored them and kept walking.

No matter how happily they chatted outside, or how they looked at him, the building in front of them was ultimately the key.

Luo Wei had gradually come to see it. It was a majestic castle with a black overall tone, full of pointed style, like a fortress built by the witch to summon power in the past glorious battle. If he guessed correctly, its name was "Black Magic Castle". But in any case, the one in front of him could only be considered a counterfeit. It was just that he didn't know how many years had passed.

At the edge of the city wall, they encountered a witch with white hair and a witch with red hair.

As Luo Wei turned around and looked up, he saw three witches with completely different auras blocking the way at the front passage of the city gate.

Hmm... looks like this is where we'll end it here?

Lovi wasn't surprised. It would be strange if these witches let him wander in freely. But what kind of magic did these three use? One of them looked exceptionally tall under her elaborate long dress, while the one in the distance seemed to be suspended in mid-air, hanging with the moon.

You could tell from their eyes that they didn't seem to welcome the invitation.

“An invitation,” one of the witches said coldly.

Luo Wei took it out without any hesitation. The other party just glanced at it from a distance and then stepped aside without asking any more questions or saying anything.

As for Ah Hu and Lily, they wouldn't mention it unless asked, but the inexplicable stare he gave them as he passed by was slightly unpleasant.

"I've heard of witches who destroy kingdoms and cursed witches, but I've never heard of a witch who guards a gate," Luo Wei teased the dog-girl, deliberately letting the three of them hear.

“Ah ha... Ahahaha…” Ah Hu Lili chuckled dryly twice.

Everyone here gave her the feeling that they all had a strong aura, a powerful presence and charm, unlike the typical human being.

After passing through a vast courtyard, they were finally greeted by a maid who bowed and spoke politely as she led them into the castle. She was so focused on etiquette that she didn't mention what the place was or why she had been invited. So, Rowe did the same, only summoning Minnie to report back to them.

Finally, the two were led to a reception room deep inside the second floor of the castle.

As soon as Luo Wei and Ah Hu Lili entered, they discovered that there were not only them, but also six or seven witches. Before the maid could ask them to wait there, all those scrutinizing gazes were cast upon them.

"Oh...? So that's him?"

"Heh, that Ilus...?" "What, haven't you heard of her?"

Facing these people's gazes, Ah Hu Lili, who was standing to the side, seemed unhappy. The feeling of them judging the two of them as if they were looking through glass reminded her of human merchants evaluating how much an orc slave should be worth. She didn't like them talking about these things without being involved.

It was as if he noticed her expression.

The witches also began to examine her closely.

"Orcs...? I see. So this is the little guy who's been trying to stand up for himself in some corner of the continent lately?"

"Aren't they quite pitiful too?"

"Hehe... I'm more interested in some of the rumors about 'them'."

"I see. Judging from her fierce expression, human men probably wouldn't be able to satisfy her."

"You mean... he lacks stamina? Heh... or is his endurance unsatisfactory?"

The witches were making lewd jokes over there, and Luo Wei sat on the sofa, unfazed, only wondering who else was an invitee like him.

But Ah Hu Lili could no longer stand.

“You don’t need to worry about me!” she said, displeased with this response. “Stop talking on and on!”

"Oh?" This piqued the witch's interest.

"Don't worry about us. How many people did you compare your conclusions with?" a witch said leisurely. "Do you have an accurate number of people to refer to? I didn't expect you to be so experienced."

"However, a small-scale comparison doesn't prove anything, or have you tried it all over the continent, which is why you're so confident?"

Ah Hu Lili: "?"

Her face twitched, and her canine teeth gleamed.

“Oh dear,” another witch chuckled, “judging from that expression, could it be that he was the only one who actually experienced it? How can you be so certain?”

"So innocent, hehehe... I didn't expect it, it made me a little embarrassed."

Ah Hu Lili got anxious.

She clenched her claws and roared indignantly, "We've been doing it day and night on the way here! We were doing it all the way here too! Enough already!!!"

"..."

These words immediately silenced the witches.

Luo Wei's face darkened. Was it because none of the people he knew, such as Vimier, were there? And after spending a few days alone with him, he felt a sense of belonging. These words were truly audacious.

But... don't fall for their tricks! Don't you realize these guys are trying to get information out of you?

The witches chuckled softly.

"To preserve one's chastity for a thousand years, like the Witch of the Night."

"Waiting for someone I love."

"How can your level of understanding compare to hers? How can you really have the nerve to steal someone else's love like this?"

Ah Hu Lili: "...!"

The dog girl's face froze.

She lost her momentum for a moment, her ears drooping in frustration. This result was not unexpected for Luo Wei. How could a dog girl who was only nineteen years old fight against a group of monsters who were hundreds of years old?

"I……"

“Don’t worry about it,” Luo Wei smiled calmly. “I’m quite pleased that you can say it like that. Since it’s the truth, why hide it?”

The witches looked at him.

"Oh?"

Luo Wei didn't intend to explain anything. He understood that this was a welcome gift for him. Each of them was very opinionated and had their own ideas. Whether it was their own decision or the reason for the invitation, he had no reason not to accept it.

Is she a witch?

He stood up from the sofa, not wanting to fall for their trap. Regardless of their motives, they probably couldn't explain why he was willing to accept the invitation.

Because his goal can change.

Trying to absolve yourself of responsibility with this argument? That's incredibly naive.

The witches seemed to be waiting for him to say something, and just then, a blue flash materialized next to Ah Hu Lili, and a girl with long silver-blue hair wearing an astrology hat suddenly appeared.

"Hey! Mena makes her grand entrance! Hello everyone, my name is Mena, and I'm Lo Wei's future wife."

Damn it...

Luo Wei covered his head, completely exasperated.

I knew it...!
Ah Hu Lili stood to the side, looking at Mena who had suddenly appeared beside her, and at the words she had just said, her eyes slowly widening.
