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

Chapter 654 Pan, the convener of the witches' gathering
"I see. So this is what you were discussing?"

After listening to the witches' curious remarks, Mena spoke calmly.

"That's clearly a fallacy."

"It seems no one demanded that she wait for over a thousand years. Although she did wait, isn't it a bit unreasonable to impose the consequences of such an action on another person?"

“Love may be grateful that she waited, but to expect him to pay the same or even higher price for it is clearly an unreasonable demand, isn’t it?”

The witches smiled.

“What you say makes sense, but if she hadn’t done that, how could she have met him a thousand years later?”

"That's a matter of fate. Everyone's destiny is subject to the rules of the stars' movements, even witches are no exception, unless you are a 'starless person'."

It turns out.

When it comes to the topic of fate, witches certainly can't win against astrologers.

As Mena launched into a series of astrological theories that even the witches found slightly disorienting, the original meaning of the topic was quickly veered off course, and the witches began to seek answers about their fate from the astrologer.

Afterwards, she would turn around confidently, acting as if she had performed a great job as "your future wife," and ask him for credit.

Lo Wei had nothing to say.

He had known all along that this guy could come anytime, anywhere. He brought her along to Senkamanda because he knew this. Although it would be difficult for her to locate him directly, she could use her destiny star to teleport to General Dale in Senkamanda and then find him through Dale. This would prevent her from wandering around aimlessly, so he simply brought her along.

And this time... because Lily is here, she can come and go as she pleases, just like she did in Wuguancheng back then.

So, did she really admit defeat at the meeting? That was clearly just an act for Anai Ning's benefit... But Ah Hu Lili didn't know that either, hmm.

"So you can tolerate other people getting involved?" a witch pondered. "That dog girl just said she'd been doing it with him the whole way."

Click.

Mena froze.

She immediately lifted the lockdown, firmly pulling Luo Wei's hand and leading him outside, saying, "You're not allowed to get out of bed until the baby is born."

Luo Wei: "..."

Even the Sandman would get a tattoo of you on his back.

Just then, the door to the reception room suddenly opened, and before the figure entered, there was an extremely oppressive divine pressure, along with a faint, melodious sound.

"Heh... These are some strange guests. Astrologers? I think we don't allow people who interpret fates to come in here?"

"!"

Mena was immediately startled.

She seemed to know something, and suddenly let go of Luo Wei's hand without looking back: "I'll come see you again next time!"

hey hey...

She vanished in a flash of starlight, and the person who opened the door entered accompanied by several witches—a witch who wasn't particularly tall, with hair that displayed two different colors, black and red. Her demeanor wasn't particularly imposing, but the more you looked into her eyes, the more you felt an indescribable sense of depth, as if if you continued to stare, you would never be able to escape.

“My name is Pan,” the witch said, “and I can be considered the organizer of this gathering.”

Demon God? Apostle? God-born? Divine agent? Just as others couldn't discern Luo Wei's identity, Luo Wei couldn't immediately see through the woman before him either, her aura impossible to identify.

However, according to common sense, such people have unfathomable depths of knowledge, or are even a kind of deity, and are definitely not defined as ordinary witches.

“Love Brooke, is that right—”

The witch named Pan looked at him and said, "I'm glad you accepted our invitation. The first thing I want to do about inviting you is to apologize to you on behalf of the Witches' Association for what happened to Ilushi."

A very decisive way of doing things.

They give the impression of being capable and able to handle things well.

“Your invitation letter didn’t say anything,” Luo Wei said calmly, looking at her.

"Hehe, if I wrote it, would you come all this way just for this?" Pan Shen looked at him with an inscrutable smile. "If I wrote about the Dark Familiar Kingdom, you'd think it was bait even more, right?"

Lo Wei did not speak.

At this moment, a short, gray-haired girl behind the other person whispered a reminder: "Pan...didn't you say that too many invitations were printed before, and that they were standard format so they couldn't be changed...!"

Pan smiled and pushed the girl behind him.

Luo Wei naturally didn't believe in such things, or rather, he didn't disbelieve them, but even if the other party really did do it, it must have been the result of careful consideration, and the appearance was just a deceptive trick.

To be honest, she was a little too cunning and very good at it. Luo Wei actually felt a bit of pressure when facing her.

Moreover, this pressure does not only stem from performance.

Her identity...

However, Luo Wei did not show it. In front of this kind of person, even just guessing whether the other party's identity is at the same level as his own could be accurately detected by the other party, who could then guess his identity.

"Let's put the apology aside for now," Luo Wei said coldly, "What exactly do you want from me? I haven't seen any other invitees."

“The reason is simple,” Pan said calmly, “because you are the only one invited.”

Ah Hu Lily: "...!?" Luo Wei was also silent for a moment. He didn't think he could find any clues from the other person's expression. The more absurd the situation, the more believable it seemed to the other person.

"You mean why we went to such lengths to gather all the witches for you, right?" Pan said slowly, raising his eyes. "The truth is simple: we gathered the witches for something else, and your arrival was just a side effect."

“So,” Rowe looked at her slowly, “you mean you called me over here to apologize to me?”

Although their purpose is unclear.

But if things are presented in this way, then Luo Wei is determined to test her identity today.

Pan's eyes twitched slightly, then he looked at him calmly and said, "You are very good at seizing the flaws in our thinking, but I want to clarify that the gathering was our original purpose, but because we know about you, we hope that your arrival can influence our overall decision-making at the gathering."

So you weren't sincerely apologizing?

"..."

Pan smiled, and for a moment he had the impression of this human as described in the rumors, so he bowed down directly.

“We will sincerely apologize, and we hope you will gradually realize this during the rally. But please believe that if you mean as much to us as I think, we are definitely on the same side.”

"For example, Dorothy, the 'oldest witch'?"

"...!"

Not only the other witches, but even Pan, who was bowing there, froze slightly.

Then she looked up and smiled: "Things are still up in the air, Lowell Brooke—but I'm really glad to meet you. To be honest, this is all girls here, and as the only man invited, don't you feel even a little bit happy about it?"

"All I saw was a bunch of witches trying to trick me."

"Hehe...hahaha," Pan couldn't help but laugh somewhat unceremoniously, "Then, in order to escape their harassment as soon as possible, could you please let me take you to your room to rest for a while?"

Luo Wei glanced at Ah Hu Lili, who was looking a little dazed, and gestured for her to follow. Then, the two of them headed to their room under the guidance of the witch Pan.

Along the way, Pan explained, "This is a fortress we built in imitation of the past, our main and little-known base as witches. It's still called 'Black Magic Castle' as it's known in the past."

"Many witches are here for the first time. It's been centuries since a gathering like this has taken place. As for the Witch of the Night... I'll talk to you about her privately when I have time, okay?"

“You are free to move around as you please. If there is a witch who deliberately picks on you, it is okay for you to teach her a lesson. After all, you are our guest, and I will take care of it for you.”

"And there's the terrace over there. This is land blessed by the Red Moon, so I hope you won't feel too uncomfortable."

After the introduction, the two arrived at their room, which was a suite with two separate bedrooms. The interior was undeniably luxurious, and the decorations and handicrafts looked quite valuable, almost like royal treatment. However, in Luo Wei's opinion, one of the rooms was unlikely to be used in daily life.

and.

“I don’t plan to stay here for long,” he clarified.

“It’s alright,” Pan nodded. “Even after things are settled here, you can come anytime you want. The room will always be reserved for you.”

"and then?"

"Love asked."

She described the situation there and the significance of holding the rally.

However, she didn't elaborate further on the reasons for inviting him, or why his arrival would affect the decisions of the entire Witch Council.

“We…I…” Pan hesitated for a moment before saying, “I originally hoped to tell you at the tea party tomorrow, since there is still a key witch who has not come. But since this has happened, I can tell you some related information in advance.”

She looked at Rowe and said, “We have noticed that you are guiding the direction of the situation on the continent, including what happened to Ilush and the problem of the Prime Minister of Lion Garden, and even the Uncrowned City Craftsmen’s Guild and the Goddess of Machines Icarus. This makes us think that what you are doing is likely to be closely related to our progress. You should understand that this involves consequences that affect the entire continent.”

Was the Third World not mentioned?

I don't know if she deliberately avoided mentioning it, or if there was some kind of restriction.

"If the Starry Sky of Destiny can be excluded, then Gui Wuhai is ultimately destined to suffer a calamity. Moreover, it's not just that; our relationship might actually be even closer than what you see now."

"close?"

"……Um."

Pan walked up to Luo Wei and suddenly reached out to gently pat his head, while Ah Hu and Lili, who were standing to the side, looked stunned.

“Like this,” Pan Weiwei said, “please forgive me for not mentioning this sensitive topic, because this matter is absolutely taboo for us witches.”

“Your behavior is nothing like that of a witch,” Luo Wei said without changing his expression.

“Hehe…that’s how it is with people, at least I hope so—” she smiled and said, “As for that astrologer from earlier, you don’t need to ask her anymore. She’s afraid that it’s because I once asked her to divine my fate, which was beyond her ability and once brought her fear.”

What did she see?

Seeing that she was about to leave, Luo Wei asked.

Pan walked slowly to the door, then paused—

"All the stars are submerged by the sea, and the sea swallows the reflection of the starry sky."

A faint, enigmatic smile played at the corners of her lips.

"Then my destiny star was torn to shreds, bleeding profusely, in her mind."
