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

Chapter 718 Luo Wei Goes to Sea, Saintess Comes Ashore

Nepsy looked back in astonishment.

Iluth's cottage was still there, but the water had almost reached the earthen slope in front of the door, and the entire forest in front of her looked like it had been submerged by the sea, with half of the tree trunks standing in the water.

What on earth is this!?
Needless to say, she knew what this seawater was; for a witch, it was an inescapable fate and natural enemy.

She never imagined she would see him a second time in such a short period of time.

"I'm going to find that witch. You wait for me here."

"?!"

There's no need to go to such lengths to kill me...

Although I care about Emily's safety, is it something a human would do to leave a witch on the Guiwu Sea?

Watching Lovi walk ahead alone, Neps silently reached out her hand from behind.

I'm sorry... I was a bit arrogant before, please, please!

However, Luo Wei ignored her and didn't hear her say anything. After walking down the slope, he stepped straight onto the stagnant sea without hesitation.

Neps: "?!"

Guiwuhai is indeed worth exploring.

Besides requiring even stricter divine protection than the ruins of the God Wars, and maintaining a sufficiently firm understanding of common sense and self-awareness, there is also the most crucial...
Avoid easily conveying negative emotions, especially fear.

Luo Wei looked down at his feet. Gui Wu Hai was such a place. If you were thinking about whether you would fall in, you would fall in immediately. But what was underwater next was not something you could decide based on your consciousness.

However, that's exactly what Rowe wanted to do.

There was some connection between the taboos of the world and witches. Neps watched in astonishment as he suddenly plunged into the water right in front of her.

After a deep, muffled sound from the sea.

With a whoosh, after a dizzying spin, Lo Wei was thrown out of the sea and sat on the boundless black surface of the ocean.

Gui Wuhai and the Starry Sky of Destiny are opposite yet completely different.

You can see the starry sky every day, but if you flap your wings and keep going upwards, you'll find that you can never reach it.

Guiwuhai is almost never seen by people, but it is a region that can be reached.

He stood up, dusted himself off, and looked at the huge fish eye, more than ten meters in diameter, beneath the surface of the water. He remained completely unmoved—if you're so capable, come up here.

The owner of that eye stared at him, and as his eyelids moved, the huge eyeball also moved slightly.

Luo Wei didn't have time to deal with these taboos. He came in to find someone, and if conditions allowed, he could squat on the other person's head and defecate without them being able to do anything about it. But for someone who was new to the area and unfamiliar with the rules, this scene might cause them to fall in immediately. In reality, this kind of fish was just an ordinary existence here.

Hopefully, that witch hasn't gone far.

He sank down from the sea in the Silent Night Forest. The distance between them should not be far. Gui Wuhai does not have the characteristic of arbitrarily distorting space, but if he fell below the surface, it would be troublesome.

Fortunately, after carefully surveying the surrounding area, he quickly spotted the witch's trail; the open view from the sea was a great help.

Rowe walked toward the other person—who was sitting on a makeshift platform made of magic, suspended above the sea, clutching his staff with his back to him.

still alive.

"Emily?"

Once he was within range, he tried to transmit his voice in a calm tone from afar. From Neps's message, he learned that this witch had only recently become a formal witch, and she seemed to be quite frightened.

The other person barely turned around with a tremor of their neck, and tears welled up in their eyes the moment they saw him.

“Luo...Luo Wei??” Because they had seen him at the Witch's Guild before, the other party quickly recognized him as well.

"Sit there and don't move. I'll be right there. Don't worry."

"Next, next, next... below."

"I know, it's no big deal, just sit down."

It's no wonder she was timid. Beneath the surface of the water beneath the platform beneath her, a colossal prehistoric monster, resembling a crocodile or a mosasaur, opened its massive maw, hundreds of meters wide, and faced the sea surface where she stood. It remained motionless in this position, its enormous body hidden in the darkness of the seabed. She was like a speck of dust facing the terrifying devouring force from beneath the surface. Just one look was truly terrifying.

Lowe had already passed the area where the giant's teeth were close to the sea surface. From here, the mouth really did look like an abyss, probably big enough to fill a mountain.

He walked through the abyss-like, dangerous hole and came to Emily's side, letting her jump onto him.

"Ready to go back."

Luo Wei supported her thigh with his right arm, and with his left hand took out the black treasure box of Gui Wuhai from the ripples, and then activated it with divine power.

shhh-

This is not actually a transfer magic tool.

It was a sealed item.

Simply put, it involves sealing the corresponding items into a treasure chest, which then allows the item to temporarily receive the treasure chest's bounty, thus contaminating it with forbidden properties.

Luo Wei had already made preparations on his way here, sealing in a high-quality teleportation crystal, and he had crushed the registration stone as a marker before going into the sea.

Although I'm inside.

He didn't have the patience to slowly search for a narrow passage to get out; he simply decided to open one himself.

As the two were sucked into a narrow crevice in the Sea of ​​Nothingness, Neps stared in shock as they appeared before the hut, her gaze momentarily blank.

Luo Wei looked up at her and asked, "What are you doing there?"

At this moment, Neps had already climbed onto the roof beam of Ilus's hut, but hadn't even had time to stretch one leg up yet.

As for that?

You're trying to climb onto the roof and tear off the tiles!

"Y-you...you're back!" She quickly feigned her intentions and jumped off the roof. "Emily, I'm so glad you're alright!"

"I want to marry him!! Waaaaaah!!!"

However, Emily completely ignored her and instead sat on Rowe's arm, clinging to him and refusing to let go.

Neps: "???"

“You have no idea what it was like back then!” Emily cried. “The moment I saw him, I longed for so much… I would have given birth to ten children for him, ahhh…” Nepsy looked at the two of them and her eyes twitched. How did you two develop this kind of relationship in just half an hour?

Luo Wei chuckled dismissively, "Leaving you there, you might get married even faster than her."

"Let's go back to the Witch's Guild first. I have some questions for Pan."

Upon arriving at the Witch's Guild, Nepse took Emily to rest, while Lovi explained the situation in various parts of the continent and the Silent Forest to Dorothy and Pan, and shared his speculations with them.

Dorothy pinched her lips and pondered for a moment.

“No wonder the seal on Gui Wuhai hasn’t been loosened to that extent yet, but waves are rising all over the world.” Pan said worriedly.

“I’d like to know if Ilush mentioned anything in her report to the Witches’ Guild,” Rowe said bluntly.

Randall's ability to break free from the shackles of fate is inextricably linked to Ilus's actions, but she wasn't actually trying to help Randall. Rather, it was driven by some unclear reason, her own thoughts, or perhaps just a premonition of fate.

The witches sought answers to the ultimate meaning of existence because, before the Sea of ​​Nothingness separated from the two worlds, taboo was an inseparable word for witches. What they wanted to expel from the Sea of ​​Nothingness was the taboo calamity caused by their pursuit of the origin.

The pursuit of the origin of magic is inherently a taboo, as most people in ancient times could not perceive magic before the earth's veins were affected by the war of the gods.

That's why witches are called witches.

No force is better suited to guard the cracks in Gui Wuhai than those who have dealt with taboos in the past.

However, while the other witches maintained awe towards Gui Wuhai, Ilushi insisted on throwing herself into the fray despite the danger, and even accidentally and indirectly summoned the final boss from the previous round. So, Luo Wei wondered if she had discovered something but hadn't told them or the witches.

"The Witch of the Night... I'll show it to you right now."

Pan quickly retrieved all the letters that Ilus had sent to the Witches' Guild. After reading them through, Luo Wei found nothing. Most of the information about what they were doing was just a one-line summary.

No clues?

“Your investigation is on the right track,” Dorothy said, looking at him. “You came to the Silent Forest based on your deductions, right? Then Ilus might indeed know something, and the saintess named Jasmine should also be the key to solving this matter.”

“Iluth… she’s one of the more solitary types of witches,” Pan said with some guilt, “and it’s always been difficult to grasp her true thoughts.”

These aren't the things that concern Luo Wei right now.

Is it the sea, not the starry sky?

“If Gui Wuhai is hidden behind the Starry Sky of Destiny, and Distalia and the others’ prophecy didn’t mention it,” Dorothy said, “the Third World must have had a rival for control of destiny. If this is a fact they’ve been trying to hide, something will definitely happen and be revealed now that the seal has been broken. Do you understand?”

Lo Wei nodded.

Current signs indicate that things are starting to move in that direction.

Even if he doesn't find Jasmine, it won't have a significant impact on the outcome; it's just that she will likely suffer much more than she does now.

The Temple of War's plan was ultimately just the Pope and his ilk playing a game with themselves. The reason why Luo Wei didn't know whose wishes he had ultimately fulfilled was because it allowed him to see things more clearly.

He knew where the final moment was, but ultimately it was impossible to solve the problem only right before that moment.

"I understand."

I had some plans in mind.

“This matter cannot be said to be unrelated to me,” Dorothy said solemnly. “Child, I also hope that you can find the answer to all of this, but when you are being stubborn, please do not forget to use my power. After you are familiar with my magic, you can also summon me directly through the signet ring.”

“I also plan to look for any clues left by Ilus’s former witch,” Pan said. “Remember to come back and discuss with us if you encounter any difficult situations.”

"understood."

Luo Wei smiled wryly; having these two around was truly reassuring.

After returning to the Silent Forest with Neps, they retrieved a jar of water from the Boundless Sea's waves and then retraced their steps back to Crownless City, the valley, Melendall, and the military front. The journey along the Yin God Cult's territory was arduous, but Luo Wei had lost count of how many times he had traveled back and forth across the continent during this period.

Upon returning to the camp, he immediately sought out Jasmine and Mei Qiuli, who was standing beside him.

Faced with the water in the jar, Mei Qiuli frowned in confusion, showing no interest, while Jasmine, after receiving permission, directly plunged her tentacles into it.

Luo Wei glanced at the empty container and Jasmine's unchanged expression. It seemed that Mei Qiuli was only interested in the filth that Jasmine had transformed, not Gui Wuhai himself.

After all, she only feeds on "echoes".

As for Jasmine, Luo Wei glanced at her condition. Now that she spends almost every day with Mei Qiuli, she eats heartily, and her complexion looks much better than before. She no longer uncontrollably spreads filth around her, and she has started to wear some simple clothes that are not so thin. Of course, this was specially made for her by Krossie.

He stroked the girl's soft, long gray hair. As he grew stronger, Jasmine's condition improved. For Luo Wei, it was no longer a matter of deliberately gathering divine power before making contact. However, being completely relaxed was definitely not an option. On the other hand, Mei Qiuli still dared not touch her since the last time, thinking about how much pain she must have felt made her want to cry.

Since such a change has occurred.

We need to find a way to teach Jasmine some basic magic control techniques.

Seeing the sleep demon's expectant gaze, Rowe patted her head and then called Ulauneps over.

"You mean... you want me to teach them both magic?"

“Yes, mainly Jasmine,” Rowe nodded. “Let’s see who learns faster between the two of them.”

“I never expected you to come and ask me for a favor…” Nepsy breathed a sigh of relief, somewhat surprised.

Consider it making up for the trouble caused by my loose tongue. After all, it's much better than being hung up and shamefully spanked.

“No problem, leave this to me, the ‘Calamity Witch’!” she replied confidently.

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, teach them to keep at least three meters away from Jasmine."

"why?"

She knew there were rules against getting close to them, and there were even knights on guard along the way. She had also been in a sealed box on the warship.

She didn't know the specific reason, and thought it was some kind of special fetish of his. Anyway, everyone did it, and no one questioned him.

"What will happen if we get closer?" Neps asked instinctively.

"will die."

"?"

Seeing his unwavering answer, Nepsy stood there stunned for a moment.

"?????"
