Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 382 The Witch Arrives in the North

Another cruise ship arrived at Beloberg. The alchemists from the Witch Workshop stood on the side of the ship and looked at the thriving city in front of them, with excitement on their faces.

However, among the crowd, there was only one person whose face was full of helplessness and reluctance, which was completely different from the others.

"Is there already such a thick barrier between us? When did such a tragic misunderstanding arise between me and my beloved disciples?" This person expressed his feelings in an aria-like tone, and at the same time asked Heine who had been pressing her shoulders: "Heine, can't you let me go? After all, I am your teacher, right?"

If you look closely, you will find that this person is restrained. A ribbon made of alchemy is tightly wrapped around her body, restricting her movements while also blocking her possibility of escaping using alchemy.

"That won't do. Teacher Wei'er, your words are no longer credible. Previously, they let you run away three times out of consideration for the relationship between master and disciple. This time, no matter what you say, I will not let you escape again." Heine had a serious face and revealed deep resentment while speaking.

Feeling the resentment from Heine, the teacher named Wei'er could only smile awkwardly and then didn't know what to say.

The Witch Workshop received an invitation from Perfectoct a few months ago, and they planned to come to the North to keep the appointment after completing the orders on hand.

However, some people pointed out that their alchemy skills were not good enough and it would be difficult for them to get the attention of Perfectcot even if they came to the North. If they could find the previous head of the Witch Workshop, they might be able to get the favor of Perfectcot with the previous head's strong alchemy skills.

After all, although the previous head of the Witch Workshop had always been lazy and gave people a very unreliable feeling, Heine, as her disciple, knew that his teacher was not such a person before.

Veil, who once had the title of Great Sage of Crystal, was the most outstanding alchemist in the empire at that time. She was known as one of the Three Sages of the Empire along with Endymion, the previous president of the Magic Association, and Crowley, the previous president of the Royal Astronomical Society.

However, due to an accident, Wei'er, who was still called Sandrion at the time, suffered the backlash of the spell, her body regressed to her childhood state, and even her personality changed greatly.

Heine had no idea what had happened back then, but he knew that the magicians of the empire had begun to fall into decline since then, and the astrologers of the Astronomical Society seemed to have lost the ability to peek into the future.

Only alchemy was least affected, and the alchemists of the empire can continue to be active today.

But even so, there is still a clear gap between the alchemy that alchemists can perform today and that they could perform in the past.

It is conceivable how powerful the Great Sage of Crystal was back then. Such a powerful alchemist would surely be able to create many wonderful sparks with Master Brandlis, right?
This is what Heine thought and hoped for.

In her opinion, this would give the Witch Workshop a good start in the North. It would be worth it for her and others to spend a lot of time and effort to capture the teacher and play the escape game with her for more than a month.

Yes, as the teacher and previous head of the Witch Workshop, Wei'er had already passed the workshop to Heine, while she herself hid away to enjoy her leisure time.

But this time Heine brought others to find her and brought her back to the workshop.

This undoubtedly made Wei'er very unhappy, so after being caught, she looked for an opportunity to escape again. After all, they were all her disciples, so who knew who? Heine and the others' arrangements could not hold Wei'er.

However, Heine had obviously been wary of Wei'er's move. After all, as Wei'er said, they were both master and disciple, so who didn't know who?

So Wei'er, who had escaped, was caught by Heine and his men before she could even get out of Langton. The two sides fought back and forth for several times, and finally Heine had no other choice but to use his best alchemy skills to tie Wei'er up, and finally successfully brought her to the North.

But even so, Wei'er still wanted to escape.

It’s not that she had any problem with Perfect, nor was she unwilling to help her disciples. She was just afraid of trouble and didn’t want to deal with the alchemists of the empire anymore.

The accident that year not only caused her body to permanently regress to her childhood form, but also had a huge impact on the extraordinary people in the empire, especially the other person who was on par with them and whose entire existence was wiped out.

From this we can see how serious the consequences of the accident were.

Of the four people who participated in that incident, one had his existence permanently erased, and the remaining three each had their own troubles.

The trouble of the former Crystal Sage was not only her physical regression, but also the trauma of her soul, which was why she always acted so lazy.

In addition to her personality, it is also important that she needs to take a long rest to repair the damage to her soul.

But her efforts have been so limited that they have yielded little results. Over the years, she has only been able to keep her condition from getting worse.

Naturally, she could no longer hold any position in the Alchemist Association, just like the other two old friends who had resigned from their positions. Sandrion also chose to pass the position of president of the Alchemist Association to other people. She hid herself away and opened a witch workshop, teaching a few disciples, which could be considered as retirement.

But her action, just like Heine having to take over the Witch Workshop now, caused great trouble to the Alchemist Association at that time.

So much so that to this day, the Alchemist Guild is still looking for her, hoping that she can return and lead the Alchemist Guild again.

Wei'er, who hates trouble, naturally doesn't want to go back into those troubles, so she wants to run away again.

But she was not completely unreasonable. After several unsuccessful attempts to escape, she finally resigned herself to coming to the North. She just hoped that since Perfect was too young and didn't know her, the previous president of the Alchemist Association, she wouldn't cause her more trouble.

Of course, in addition to accepting her fate, Wei'er also hoped that the Philosopher's Stone of Perfectoct could solve her problem.

After all, one of the most well-known functions of the Philosopher's Stone is that it can be used to make elixirs that can grant people immortality.

Wei'er really wants to know whether the Philosopher's Stone can solve her problems.

It was also because of this that she gave up escaping and allowed Heine to take her to the North.

Otherwise, even if his body regressed to his childhood and his strength was greatly reduced, it would be very easy for him, as a former Crystal Sage, to break free from Heine's confinement.

After all, Heine was taught by her, so how could she not be able to solve the restrictions imposed by Heine?
