Demon King, you just need to conquer, and your husband will come up with the solution.

"Um... to be honest, I really... I really don't want to beg for mercy from Great Witch Dany..."

"If possible, I don't want to ask Dany..."

The two witches' rejection attitude made everyone quite confused.

Fox touched his chin, and after a simple thought with his brain, he suddenly realized it, tapped his hand, and said, "Oh! I know, you are embarrassed, right! Just like when I was a child, I didn't want my mother to help me!"

Although Fox's statement was rather vulgar, it seemed to have unexpectedly hit upon the inner essence of the two witches.

Trinity sighed helplessly and asked everyone, "Do you know why I didn't want to return to the tea party for more than ten years?"

"why?"

“Because I really… don’t dare to face the expectations that Great Witch Dany has for me… Not long after I graduated from Lucaster College, Great Witch Dany saw my talent and enthusiastically invited me to join the tea party.

She took care of almost everything for me, solving my living and housing problems, preparing a new laboratory for me, and arranging meetings and discussions with witches in the same research field as me.

Even in the first three years, Great Witch Dany provided me with all the funds needed for my research! And all I have to do is focus on my research under Dany's protection..."

Trinity's story made everyone look surprised. Shana couldn't help but sigh: "This ninth-level expert is so good!? Is she trying to trick you?"

Trinity smiled bitterly, shook her head and sighed, "Alas... I even hoped that the Great Witch Dany was so kind to me at that time because she had some intention towards me... but she really didn't have any selfish motives.

She put almost all her energy into training us, the new generation of witches, so much so that as the most intelligent ninth-level witch, Dany has hardly produced any research results after founding the tea party.

She entrusted us with all the time she should have spent on research, the opportunities she should have spent delving into the deeper secrets of magic, and the resources she should have spent improving herself.

Fafner, what the witch you met said is very accurate... For us tea party witches, Great Witch Dany is really like a mother..."

Fafnir's expression was rarely changed, and she said, "It is a blessing for the witch community to have such a leader. No wonder the Tea Party has become the most influential magic organization in the secular world."

When Trinity heard this, she couldn't help but reveal a hint of pride, and then she continued with some shame: "After wasting three years of time and resources beside the Great Witch Dany without any results, I decided to work alone and no longer accept the help of the Great Witch Dany.

But without the help of the Great Witch Dany, my research soon fell into financial difficulties. In the face of the Great Witch Dany's repeated concern, I could only pretend to be optimistic and say that the research was progressing smoothly...

But in fact, during that time, I didn't even have the money to buy magic crystals, and I could only rely on the help from friends like Ovinia to survive... By the way, Ovinia, how much money do I still owe you?"

Ovinia answered without hesitation: "Seventeen thousand six hundred and forty-one bucks."

Seeing that Ovinia actually said the exact amount, Trinity looked a little embarrassed: "...Okay, I'm sorry to have owed you so long, I'll be able to pay you back soon...Also, you don't have to remember such details..."

"I always remember clearly who owes me money. After all, money cannot be betrayed."

Chapter 70 Studying the Origin of Magic

"So, you just left the tea party and didn't come back for more than ten years because you were too embarrassed to continue staying there?"

After listening to Trinity's account of her past, Helena asked, clasping her arms and waving a folding fan.

This question was somewhat ruthless, but Trinity couldn't refute it, so she could only nod reluctantly.

Trinity admitted: "Yes, under that situation, I stayed in the tea party for a few more years, and finally I felt that I couldn't hide it anymore. I left the tea party on my own... At that time, I didn't even dare to tell Dany..."

Trinity's past made everyone sigh, and Ovinia reached out and patted Trinity to comfort her: "These are all past events, Trinity. Now you have successfully proved the direction of your research. Dany will be proud of you."

"Well... So, I am very grateful to Irons for helping me complete my research... Although his style of doing things is different from Dany's, in my eyes, he is just as important to me as the Great Witch Dany..."

Ovinia couldn't help but roll her eyes after hearing this. Well, sure enough, he kept talking about Ains again...

Catherine said apologetically, "I'm so sorry. I arrested Governor Irons without thinking much before... If possible, I hope that this time I will be the one to make a request to the Great Witch Dany!"

"..." After taking a look at Catherine's clear and somewhat stupid eyes, Trinity waved her hands speechlessly and responded, "Forget it, there's no need for you to ask... Although I really don't want to ask Dany for help.

But for Irons, I will make this request myself because it is my own business.

As for you...if you really want to make compensation, you'd better become stronger. As a hero, your current seventh-level strength is really not enough for the Demon King.

I hope that you can play a role in the Demon King's Castle by then, instead of becoming a trouble..."

After being rejected by Trinity, Catherine was speechless. She nodded with an awkward look on her face and promised: "I... I will try my best!"

"I hope..."

Seeing that everyone seemed to have finished chatting, Helena took a glass of wine from the car, poured herself a glass and took a sip, then said to everyone, "There is still a month before the witch tea party.

Before that, you can follow our Belman Chamber of Commerce's caravan to travel around other countries. I will arrange the business process for the caravan to ensure that we can reach the dense forest of the Great Witch Dany on time."

"There is still one month left..."

Hearing this time, Trinity couldn't help but feel panicked again. To be honest, she had a nightmare last night, a nightmare that made her uneasy.

She dreamed of a flying minotaur that kidnapped Irons in front of her, but she was powerless to do anything.

She thought that this was the shadow she had when she failed to take Ains away from the Demon King, but...

Why did the image of the devil appear in his dream as a bull-headed monster? Moreover, judging from the impression in the dream, Ains did not make any resistance...

These vague but inexplicably clear dream details made her feel uneasy, especially at this point in time, a month after hearing it, this inexplicable uneasiness became more obvious...

Tsk... why on earth! ?

Trinity was secretly distressed, while Ovinia raised the three hands on her side and suggested to Helena: "Miss Helena, can I make a few requests?"

"Oh? What request?"

Unlike Trinity who is always at odds with her, Helena has a very good impression of Ovinia. After all, this lady is calm, elegant, ladylike, and has a flat chest, especially after discovering how serious and persistent Ovinia is about money.

Helena said that the Bellman Chamber of Commerce needs talents like you~

So much so that during this period, Helena often discussed the expansion of her magic equipment business with Ovinia.

Although the deal was not concluded in the end, Ovinia had a good impression of Helena. She nodded to Helena and asked, "Miss Helena, I hope the caravan can stop by two places."

"That's it? No problem, just tell me where it is."

"Don't worry, they are not far away. One is Fontenburg in the Principality of Norton, and the other is Sorensenburg in the Berman Empire. I have two friends I need to meet."

Hearing about these two locations, Helena immediately took out the map and observed it. After gesturing the route, she nodded and said, "Okay, it doesn't conflict with the route I originally planned. Miss Ovinia, just wait slowly~"

Trinity, who was standing by, raised her eyebrows slightly after hearing the two place names. She asked Ovinia, "I'm not sure who owns Fontaine City, but Sorensenburg... You're not going to see Wilma, are you?"

"Wilma?"

This name once again aroused everyone's curiosity. Could this be the famous tea party witch?

"Yes." Ovinia nodded bluntly: "I just want to see her."

Trinity immediately showed an expression of incomprehension and asked, "Is Great Witch Dany still trying to persuade her to go back?"

"Yes, actually, every year for the tea party, Great Witch Danny would send someone to give Witch Wilma an invitation, but... you know, most of them are useless."

"Ha... Although I have to admit that Wilma is a genius, but... for a witch who voluntarily quits the tea party, there is really no need to keep her..."

Listening to the conversation between the two witches, everyone's eyes were already filled with curiosity. What exactly is this Wilma witch like?

Shana, who was impatient, asked directly: "Don't just chat among yourselves, tell us something too. Who is that witch Wilma?"

Fafner, who was recovering from her injuries in the car, suddenly said, "Witch Wilma is known as the most talented wizard who has the greatest hope of becoming the next ninth-level witch.

He was once a member of the tea party in his early years, but later seemed to have a conflict with the Great Witch Dany and voluntarily withdrew from the tea party.

She was the first tea party witch to give up her place at the tea party. That's all I know, but I don't know much more."

Trinity spread her hands and muttered to Fafner, "You've already told me a lot. If you go deeper, we don't know much. Ever since she left the tea party, Great Witch Dany has tried to persuade her to come back more than once."

Shana came forward curiously and asked, "Is that witch named Wilma very powerful? She actually needed a ninth-level witch to persuade her to come back?"

In response to this inquiry, Ovinia directly asked: "How many people have you met who can prove that the research of the Great Witch Dany is wrong?"

"Um... I... I don't even know what the great witch Dany studied... Your knowledge of magic is too complicated, I can't really understand it..."

Shana scratched her head in embarrassment, revealing her poor academic performance.

For a moment, the three female magic students looked at Shana in a subtle way, and a sense of rejection as not belonging to the same group arose spontaneously, making Shana wave her hands and leave in anger.

After persuading the poor students to leave, the three top students continued their conversation. Fafner asked curiously, "To be able to prove that the Great Witch Dany was wrong... he is indeed a rare genius. Then why did Wilma leave the tea party?"

"I don't know."

"do not know."

The two witches shook their heads, and Trinity said, "She is an absolute genius, so she won't leave like I did because she felt ashamed of Dany.

The character of the Great Witch Dany is almost tolerant of everything, so the conflict with Dany cannot be the main reason for her departure, so we don’t quite know why she left. "

Ovinia folded her arms, touched her chin and muttered, "I have an uncertain guess. Perhaps Wilma couldn't find anyone to go with her after leaving the tea party."

"Can't find anyone traveling with you?" Fafnir tilted her head calmly to express her confusion.

"Well, because Wilma's research direction...really, it's unprecedented."

"What direction?"

"She called it Micro Magic. She claimed that it was a discipline that studies the origin of magic..."

Chapter 71 Microscopic Magic

"Micromagic? What is that subject?"

Hearing this name, even Fafner, who was an immortal with rich life experience, couldn't help but reveal a trace of doubt.

Of course, Fafner's doubts were not an isolated case. In fact, Ovinia, who came up with this name, also had a look of strangeness in her eyes.

"In fact, even if you ask me, I can't explain it. This subject is... a bit obscure, and Wilma almost single-handedly explored this unprecedented field.

Its research direction is very different from my usual research direction. At least, as a witch who specializes in material mechanics, it is really hard for me to understand...

Trinity is even better at following Wilma's lead than I am at this point."

Ovinia spread out all her hands and shook her head, generously admitting her ignorance. Although wizards represent the forefront of the continent's wisdom and progress.

But wizards are also human beings, and there are things they don’t understand. This is not something shameful.

Even an incomprehensible field is a good thing, as it means that wizards have found a direction to continue their research, which can give wizards the motivation to research forever.

Of course, the prerequisite is that one has the ability to study it. Ovinia is obviously not the type of person who can study microscopic magic. She has tried to read Wilma's works, but this subject seems to be incompatible with her and she can't get through it at all.

However, although Ovinia couldn't understand it, Trinity was quite interested in it and it even inspired her.

Ovinia couldn't explain it, but Trinity could. After organizing her words, she explained to Fafner: "To put it in a simpler and easier to understand way.

We traditional witches... no, even all traditional magicians, our research direction can basically be summarized in one sentence, that is, what can magic do?

Wilma's early research direction was already unique, and can basically be summarized as: why can we use magic?

What is magic? What is magic? Is it a substance? Does it have components? Why can humans use magic? Does magic need magic as a building block?

Her early research raised many questions that we have become accustomed to, or even instinctively ignored. And the above are just the questions raised by Wilma's early works, which is also the stage when I can keep up with her crazy ideas.

Wait until the later stage..."

At this point, Trinity swallowed her saliva and said with great emotion: "In the later stages, I couldn't understand the questions she asked...

For example, the article she wrote six years ago, “Is magic really unobservable? On the superposition and entanglement of magic energy particles from a microscopic perspective.”

"You actually read that research paper? Did you understand it?" Ovinia looked at Trinity with an expression as if she was looking at a monster, and couldn't help but ask.

Trinity shrugged helplessly and said, "I didn't even understand the title, but I still finished reading it half-understanding it. I can only say that I didn't understand it, but I was deeply shocked."

Ovinia shook her head and said, "I didn't read that paper, but I heard that many mages were so shocked by it that they said Wilma's research was a violation and betrayal of the mystery. Many mages wanted to kill her."

Hearing this, Trinity rolled her eyes in contempt and said, "Khan, this is nothing. Those traditional magicians regard the old magic formulas that have been passed down for thousands of years as their guiding principles, and they keep repeating that the ancestral methods cannot be changed.

If there is even a little innovation, they will jump up and down in anger and shout about opposition. There are too many wizards that these guys want to kill. Not to mention Wilma, if I become a great witch and publish my research, they will also want to kill me. "

Although Trinity's ridicule was unpleasant to hear, it was unexpectedly recognized by Fafnir and Ovinia. After all, this group of traditional wizards was quite notorious to them, a group of innovative wizards.

However, the so-called notoriety only applies to the reformists. For the vast majority of people on the continent, this group of traditional mages who study the ancient techniques that have been passed down for thousands of years are the absolute mainstream.

For example, the Continental Mage Association, the largest gathering organization of mages, has most of its top leaders are authentic traditional mages. And the Mage Tower, which represents the highest status of mages, is full of traditionalists.

The reason why the traditionalists are so popular is not only because they have deep-rooted influence in the mainland, but also because they have long been on good terms with the Kingdom of God, Orville.

Whether it is the Continental Mage Association or the Mage Tower, they all have a close relationship with the Kingdom of God, Orville.

The Mage Association holds a continental mage gathering every ten years. The best reward that a mage with outstanding performance can get is to go to the Orville Cathedral to receive divine grace.

The Mage Tower even has a nickname among magicians: the Tower of Divine Grace. This gives us a glimpse into the complex relationship between these traditional mages and the Kingdom of God.

"Speaking of which, I am quite surprised. I didn't expect that you, a dragonborn warlock, would be surprisingly close to us wizards in terms of thought."

Seeing that Farner also showed disgust towards traditional wizards, Trinity couldn't help but tease her.

Fafnir still maintained her calm expression and responded calmly: "Time can change many things. At the beginning, I was indeed no different from ordinary magicians.
