Witch, don't be so lazy

The "newborn witch" in the prophecy may not refer to Malchana, but may refer to Anke.

What is intriguing is that the prophecy and instructions he received did not require him to take any action, nor did they say "protect the witch after discovery and bring her back to the tower."

And up to now, there is no clear and firm statement from the starry sky.

Otherwise, like the "Golden Witch" and the "Sea Witch" back then, it is said that not long after they entered the tower, they directly became the ladies' students. Others did not dare to mess with them at all. Instead, when they fought each other, they would always involve everyone around them.

...This is the more critical and more deadly examination. I don’t know when the little ghost will realize this.

But he didn't dare to say it directly, so he could only use China's point to extend it a little.

Hans thought to himself, but he kept talking:

"You have to be careful. The 'Overwatch Corps' led by China is considered the most unruly among all the legendary organizations. Its members have diverse origins and backgrounds, and they won't obey anyone except China. No, some of them don't even obey China."

"There are actually people who don't even accept Legend?"

Anke was a little surprised.

"Yeah, like me."

The old man chuckled, "Before that showoff reached Legendary, he was the weakest in our team. Anyone could beat him up. We listened to him when needed, but when we didn't, or when we were arguing, hehe~"

"..."

No one knows whether Lao Deng is bragging or not. Anke didn't pay much attention to this aspect and asked a question instead:

"'Watch Corps', is this the power of His Majesty Qina?"

"Yes, each major legend usually has its own legion, and each is responsible for different areas."

Hans crossed his arms and explained patiently,

"The Silent Legion of Black Rock City is stationed in the south, responsible for matters related to the earth and alchemy. The Raging Tide Legion of Azure City governs the eastern coast and specializes in maritime affairs. The Unholy Legion of Winterbone City is stationed in the Midwest and is responsible for matters related to the Undead, White Walkers, and Warcraft. You should know all three of these, right?"

Anko nodded.

These three are all megacities, and they have special colleges that even ordinary people have heard of.

"The Golden Witch's Legion is special. Although there are other factions within it, she holds the dominant position. The Barrowmont family also holds a significant number of seats within it. Well, it's the 'Winter Magic Chamber of Commerce,' or perhaps the 'Golden Legion.' I don't need to elaborate on its significance; you're probably familiar with it."

······Unexpected, but reasonable, it fits the nickname very well, so rich!

An Ke envied for a moment and continued listening.

"His Majesty Zedo, the fourth-ranked Skyland Traveler, controls the Skypath Legion. He has the smallest number of members and is specifically responsible for spiritual exploration and information research."

"Then there's Qina's 'Watch Corps.' You've heard of it. It's the Adventurer's Guild's 'Watch Corps,' composed entirely of Northerners. They're responsible for searching the real world for information, excavating ruins, and infiltrating the southern continent. So while they have quite a few people, most of them are out there. Qina doesn't spend much time in the North either, and he's always out there."

Huh? So it's a foreign intelligence agency, why is it called "Watchman"?!

Tsk tsk.

I didn’t expect this. No wonder the old guy said that the people inside are difficult. It would be strange if people who do this kind of work are easy to get along with!

An Ke felt a little emotional, and then a little curious:

"What about the Chief?"

"Tower."

Hans answered without hesitation, "Tower Academy, Tower Commissioners, or even the Tower Council. If you like, you can call them all the 'Tower Legion,' but that's not generally used."

"Actually, there are weaker legions, such as the 'Glow Fungus Legion', led by the Crowned Flower Fairy. Its sphere of influence is in the northwest, and it's currently primarily responsible for potions and healing. The 'Silent Stone Legion' is primarily composed of the Steelheart family, descendants of the 'Sage of Steel', and is primarily responsible for runes and shaping. There's also the 'Starry Sky Society', which was founded by the Lady's followers and only accepts mages from the School of Astrology."

"As for the weaker ones, I won't go into detail about the Shapeshifters Association and the Condor Order. However, the Silent Priory is worth mentioning. It houses a significant number of mages from the High Tower's School of Shadows. I founded it back then, but it's now been handed over to Rachel."

Hans paused. "If you really want to learn the Circle of Silence and continue to explore the School of Shadows, you can try to find her. She should be the director of the Department of Shadows at the Tower Academy now. Here—"

Two letters appeared in the old man's hand, one was black and the other was light gold.

"Give her the black one, a letter of recommendation, but how much she'll teach you depends on your performance. Give the gold one to China. Hand it to him personally, or you can just drop it off in the demiplane. Can you go in now?"

"No."

An Ke shook her head. She also wanted to enter the "Ship of the Other World". After all, she had completed the magic test and had not yet received her reward.

Oh, it's too lame, what a rubbish task system, not even as good as Tongbao.

"Then you take them with you. Don't try to destroy them, or they will self-destruct."

Hans warned.

An Ke nodded honestly, hesitated for a moment, and asked again:

"What about you? Going on a 'tour' again?"

She was not stupid and could sense that the old man had no intention of going to Pandgar. Maybe he was going on a "trip" again like he did when he dealt with the Shell City incident.

"Ah."

"Where to go? Continue to track down the No Light Society?"

"...Maybe, I'll stay in the Northern Territory for a while, and then I should go to the Fenghua Kingdom."

"What are you going for?"

"Hey, you little brat, trying to find out secrets, huh? I'll put you in jail soon."

Hans said unhappily.

"What if you die? Could you tell me the location of the treasure and the combination to the safe? Or you could make an envelope that opens automatically if you die."

Encore, with a look of sorrow on her face, offered thoughtful advice.

"······Give me the money first. I told you, there is a fee for the tutoring class."

Hans rolled his eyes and finally began to reach out.

"How much?"

An Ke instantly became alert. "Let me make this clear. I only need 5,600 right now, plus some real estate in Asda City. If you can't afford it, I'll owe you the money first. As for when to pay it back, I'll have to wait until I have more money."

How to define having enough money is another matter.

Anyway, Miss Anke has already shown her entire wealth very frankly, so it depends on how shameless the old man is.

However, what I never expected was——

"Give me whatever you think it's worth."

Hans actually kicked the ball again.

Really annoying.

Giving too much makes me feel bad, but giving too little makes me seem heartless.

But this obviously did not faze the clever Miss Anke. She took out her small purse, searched carefully, and pulled out a gold coin. After thinking for a moment, she changed it to a silver coin and wrote her name on it with her telekinesis:

"Here you are, the only Anchor Coin in the world. You can entrust the great and lovely Miss Anchor to do something that is not difficult for her."

Hans was instantly moved:

"Fuck! What's the difference between this and freeloading?!"

"Huh? Even if you put everything aside, it's at least a silver coin."

Anko retorted dissatisfiedly.

"You can't even bear to use the gold coins! And you've already damaged it so badly, it's not worth a single silver coin now!"

Hans was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "I taught you so much and introduced you to so many people! And this is all you give me?!"

"I told you how much money I have, but you didn't want it. Now all you have is Encore coins!"

An Ke was not at all weak, "And you haven't told me yet, have you ever offended anyone in Pandgar."

"..."

"No way? There really is?!"

"Of course there are, but they're probably just small fry. And with China here, you don't have to be afraid."

"...I think it's a loss to give you silver coins now. You should exchange them for copper coins."

"late."

Hans took it back and smiled, "Then, good luck to you, encore."

"Good luck."

The moment An Ke finished speaking, the old man in front of him disappeared.

The old thing is still as quick and efficient as ever.

Only An Ke was left looking at Asda City, then turning towards Xueshan Town, feeling inexplicably emotional and melancholy.

Because this time we are parting, the place we are going to is farther away, and we have no agreed time to meet again.

But as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end.

good luck.

Chapter 11: Instruction, Separation, and Departure (Part 2) (7500)

The room on the third floor of the Adventurer's Guild was Anko's first stop in Asda City, where he spent almost two months.

It was not until she encountered Eslin's entanglement and experienced the events of the Disaster Cult and the Well of Silence that she chose to move to the City Lord's Mansion because of safety issues and the desire for peace and quiet.

Now that I'm back, in addition to packing some things, I'm also saying goodbye to familiar people.

"what--"

Luya circled Anko a few times, looking at a rare animal, and then gestured with her hands in front of her chest:

"Except for growing a little taller, there doesn't seem to be much change."

Originally it only reached the girl's chest, but now it reaches the middle of her neck.

"Isn't this enough?"

An Ke pouted, "It's only been about four months, it's good that he's grown taller! It means he's successfully entered the growth stage!"

It may be because the original owner's family was too poor when he was a child, and he was malnourished for a long time, so he has always been thin and small.

Even though she quickly escaped poverty soon after coming here, and did not treat her belly badly afterwards, it seemed that apart from gaining some weight, her arms and face were not as thin, but she was still as small as a bean.

But Encore was not too anxious. After all, there was magic, and as long as he was willing to work hard, there would always be a way.

For example, now, thanks to her spiritual talent [Fruit of Transformation] and the "White Snake Scarlet Jade", she is already 1.55 meters tall.

Although she is still far inferior to the long-legged Saint, at least she has a promising future.

"Alas, because our lovely Miss Anke saved Arthda City from disaster in the blink of an eye and became the heir to the dragon-slaying hero. Her reputation is so loud in the south that it always feels like a long time has passed."

Lu Ya chuckled, then asked with a hint of curiosity and envy, "You've already reached the second level? Is it thanks to the inheritance?"

"Yeah." Anke nodded.

After the practical assessment of the magic qualification examination, everyone in the wizard and dignitary circles of Asda City knew that she had been promoted again in such a short time.

Although there was some shock, everyone quickly adapted to it. They just felt that Sutur was at least the best among the fourth-level ones back then. An Ke inherited his mantle and had some talent, so it seemed reasonable for him to jump to the second level.

"Hey, that's amazing."

Lu Ya sighed with emotion, "Although I knew you would definitely surpass me, I didn't expect that day to come so soon. But it's a good thing, because this way I can cling to your thighs sooner."

She smiled and said, "Thanks to little Anke, if it weren't for Teacher Matika alone, it wouldn't have been as easy to get a position as good as the quartermaster. I'm afraid even if I fought hard, I might not have been able to get it in the end."

Now that the Page family has fallen, the vacant positions will definitely be divided up by the forces of the remaining second-level mages, and the struggle here will be very fierce.

Not to mention anything else, there are seventy-three first-level mages in Asda City alone. Excluding the twenty-one who were implicated and those who originally held important positions, there are at least forty remaining mages who are eyeing the situation covetously. This doesn't even include the garrison mages in each town. With so many people, everyone wants to move up.

Luya naturally thought so too.

She had no intention of staying in Cedar Town forever. After her best friend Mira passed away, it was no longer a place worth staying in for her. She just wanted to visit Hahn, and the power and resources that could be controlled by being stationed there were more than those in an ordinary position back in the city, so she had never moved.

But once she has more experience and strength, she will try to find a better position in Asda City with the help of Teacher Matika.

It was originally thought that the process would take at least another seven or eight years. After all, those important positions were filled by people who could not be retired, and no one else could get in. Even if she was a direct disciple of the second level, those who could get in had connections.

However, no one expected that such a big incident would directly lead to the loss of a force in the city, and many positions were vacated.

What he didn't expect was that the little girl he had taken care of just expressed her intention and easily got one of the best positions, saving her more than ten years of hard work. Even Teacher Matika couldn't help but sigh at her luck.

After hearing the news, Luya herself also took a long time to recover. She always felt that it was unreal. It was not until she saw the official announcement and transfer order that she finally realized that she was not dreaming.
