Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 1007 The Witch's Obsession

Anise glanced at Tracy and whispered, "Go do your work. Don't worry about the Tower of Pride. Even if they don't help this time, they certainly won't cause trouble."

That was the stubbornness of the arrogant witch; she would never easily break it.

Just like how she still thinks about Gezar's companions no matter what.

She needed to know news of Agris, who remained in the Northern Kingdom.

She would definitely get involved if it concerned Pat's safety.

She may not take good care of the Ghazar women who live near her tower, but she will never allow anyone to harm them.

When she naturally chose to give Beatrice the Booker surname, she was already prepared to give up today... If the child were Gezar, she wouldn't care about her anymore, but she wouldn't just abandon her to the Booker family like that.

Huh~
It will probably take less than a year for Beatrice to understand what it means to be a caged bird... unable to even decide when to sing.

Tracy nodded solemnly: "I'll instruct them to deliver something to Miss Beatrice first."

"I'll handle Ms. Pat's matter myself."

Anise raised an eyebrow: "Don't use Gezar's men, it's too obvious."

"Yes!"

Watching Tracy's figure disappear quickly, Anise reached out and looked at her hand.

The back of the hand was so white it was almost transparent, with only faint blue veins visible. It seemed to throb slightly, but eventually returned to stillness.

Therefore, her test could be considered a success, albeit barely.

Completely abandoning Beatrice, a descendant of the Ghazar bloodline, is not impossible, but enough resentment must be accumulated first.

Moreover, she must firmly believe deep in her heart that this person has no relation to the Ghazar women she is willing to shelter.

Although bloodline and gender are the most important requirements in her obsession, if the additional conditions can completely suppress these two requirements, then the obsession can be abandoned.

well.

Anise was pleased with this; she understood the importance of obsession.

Even if this thing might become a tool for others to use against them, being powerful enough can solve most problems.

Most importantly, the so-called obsessions of witches are all based on one fundamental thing: their own existence.

Obsessions only arise when one is free from worries about life.

Otherwise, they would only use their strength to save their own lives.

However, if a witch wants to climb higher, the best option is to let something that deepens her obsession become her own.

After all, obsession is the essence of witches, the anchor of their rationality.

Even the usually bold and decisive Anise dared not do too much when it came to things related to her obsession.

She was already grateful that she could use Beatrice to understand the superficial limitations of obsession.

She turned her head and glanced at the tower that was furthest away from her.

The Witch of Arrogance existed before her, and her obsession is only stronger.

But the Tower of Pride will not openly antagonize other towers.

That was the only original tower with three witches!
Even though they were driven to the brink of nausea and vomiting by them, other factions had no choice but to endure it.

Even the Blood Tower, a new tower that openly chooses its master, is unwilling to be their enemy.

The other towers didn't actually choose the Tower Spirit faction.

This is all the fault of the Tower Master himself. The older magic towers of these years are actually subordinate towers of the Supreme Tower.

While they may not be completely controlled, their foundations will certainly be affected by the other party.

If the Supreme Tower truly turns against them completely, then the bottom-level defenses of these magic towers will be unable to be activated, and even the energy pathways will be severed.

Even if you're strong enough and don't care about defense, what about energy?
Plantations need energy, alchemy labs need energy... and staircases need it even more.

A magic tower with eleven floors, each floor over five meters high... Without an automatic elevator, that would be a disaster.

Even if a professional has enough stamina, they can't stand running dozens of times a day.

Not to mention, a witch's body will have some negative effects due to various factors.

Some people pretend to be frail, but some people are genuinely weak.

But all of this is understandable.

The transformation into a witch is not something that can be overcome by willpower and indifference alone.

Those who offer everything to the most evil laws, and are devoured until the very end, are the remnants that, if they can still form a person, then they are witches.

Although no one knows exactly what they went through, the outcome is clear.

Many people embark on the path of becoming witches, and their strength is generally above level 12, but in the end, none of them can even build a five-story tower.

Only a large enough fragment can control the tower with its own magic.

The reason why there are three witches in the arrogant place is that although two of them meet the definition of witches and their combat power is quite strong, they are not able to suppress a magic tower.

There's no way to directly control the magic tower's energy pool.

Although those old towers were fitted with backdoors, they are still the most powerful weapons in the world.

Anise's new tower is simply not enough.

It can only be considered a standard magic tower. This is only because the world has slightly opened countless tiny entrances, allowing external energy to seep in, which enabled it to be built based on past accumulation.

Agnes was also quite lucky; she happened to be the only new witch who hadn't been marked in the Old Tower.

Of course, while the Lord of the Tower gave her this position, he didn't care whether Agnes could hold her ground.

If it's unstable, just replace it!
As long as the first witch has no connection with the tower spirit, even if subsequent witches collude with the tower spirit, the tower lord doesn't need to worry too much.

The energy circuit of the new tower was naturally under his control... but if the first one went wrong, she might directly contact the Supreme Tower.

For Agnes, this was her best and only chance.

Otherwise, given her strength, she would have to wait at least another three hundred years to build her own tower.

She didn't know what the Tower Master's intentions were in building this new tower at this time, nor did she need to know.

Just seize this opportunity.

Anise was used to walking on a tightrope, and even though she valued her life the most, she was not afraid to risk it.

Of course, she won her gamble in the end.

While most people in the Tower of Secrets were trying to make huge profits from Scroll Mountain, everyone tried to avoid conflict with scholar families like Booker's.

For the Booker family, forging an alliance with the witch most trusted by the Tower Lord during their most secure period was in the best interest of their future.

After all, no matter how long the Battle of Scroll Mountain lasts, there will inevitably be a day when the war ends.

At that time, their seemingly high and mighty status will collapse instantly.

The evil faction doesn't consider the long-term future... cooperation is always a one-off event.

Booker, who hails from Scroll Mountain, is quite wealthy and is the perfect target for exploitation.

Although the Booker family initially contributed more to the collaboration with Anise… the Tower Lord only gave Anise a basic magic tower, and its current 'usefulness' is entirely due to the Booker family's abundant resources.

But later on, as long as the Booker family didn't anger the Tower Lord, Anise was their protector.

Such cooperation requires both parties to have certain bottom lines, no matter how low they may be.

Other witches don't have the reputation of the Blood Witch.

Anise's actions over the years had indeed allowed her to establish a firm foothold in the Tower's secret realm.

Then she needs to start thinking about the future.

Her eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Anise, who stood atop the arrogant tower, and sighed.

If a second bound witch were to appear in her tower, she wouldn't need to hesitate like she is now.

Unfortunately, Pat actually managed to escape.

How did they manage to do that?

As Anise had originally predicted, Pat's final outcome would definitely not be good.

The Lord of the Tower will surely use her until she dies.

Having a child and thinking you can get rid of that person is simply impossible.

But... the Lord of the Tower actually gave up.

Anise didn't think the Tower Lord would choose to give up on the child just because he wasn't a good match for him.

He liked Pat because Pat made him feel at ease using him.

If it's no longer useful, the Lord of the Tower will simply destroy Pat completely.

How could he possibly allow his body, which had been parasitized for so long, to regain its freedom?
If the tower master were so conscientious, the tower spirit who was closely related to him wouldn't have gone to such lengths for the divine power synthesis stone from so many years ago!

But that child couldn't possibly be a threat to the Tower Lord.

The Lord of the Tower can be quite impulsive at times.

If he discovers that someone will harm his future, he will not hesitate to eliminate them completely.

Even if Pat escaped to the Green Maple Territory, which the Tower Lord had been secretly avoiding, it was to no avail.

He would rather start a war that could severely damage him than keep Pat alive.

After all, even if the possibility is great, it doesn't necessarily mean he'll feel bad.

Although the Lord of the Tower is already a god, his subtle extremism is actually a kind of obsession.

This is also why Anise never cared about her own obsession.

She felt that her obsessions were normal and generally wouldn't make her do things too...stubbornly.

Stubborn to the point of being extreme, to the point that they can't even make normal choices.

If it were her, she definitely wouldn't relentlessly pursue someone like Pat who has principles and a conscience... unless she's certain Pat is going to be her enemy.

Otherwise, if in the "seen" fate, the reason Pat's child and he would fight to the death should be "the hatred for the murder of his mother," right?
But even if the Lord of the Tower understood this, he wouldn't do it.

That means that although this child may have an impact on the future, he is someone that the Tower Lord finds annoying.

It's not harmful, but he can't use it because of certain things, and he even dislikes having it around.

Could it be an alien deity?

But haven't he been making good use of those foreign gods who have connections with the Tower Lord?
