Witch, don't be so lazy

"Gah!"

"Spineless little thing... Ugh, Bush covers his mouth..."

"quack!"

Ignoring the noisy lamb, Saoirse narrowed her eyes and said, "Can't speak Common? Don't tell me you can only quack like a duck."

"Gor…Ma…S!"

The little ice dragon shrank its head and responded in a low voice.

"Haha, Saoirse, you didn't expect that Gaga only knows these two sentences. Oh, it can also say Smaug..."

The lamb broke free from covering its mouth and laughed triumphantly in the air.

Until she heard the next word, her expression suddenly changed.

"Sheep... treasure!"

Saoirse raised her eyebrows playfully and stared closely at the little ice dragon. "Interesting, keep going!"

"Little...fat...pigeon—ga!"

Gaga almost jumped up in shock.

Because the golden Lamb rushed over with great momentum.

"No! You! Can't! Say it! Otherwise you'll get beaten every day from now on!"

Although it hit an invisible wall halfway, the loud shouting still scared the little ice dragon.

"Haha, Lorena, it seems you've been having quite a bit of fun sneaking out. You even call me by such affectionate names."

Saoirse smiled coldly and increased the pressure, "Spirit of Nature, continue."

The little ice dragon trembled, his eyes wandering between the witch and the lamb. He felt that both of them had saved him, so he didn't want to offend either of them.

Then, an idea struck me.

With a "Woo-ga" sound, it fell to the ground with its back to the sky, its tail raised and belly exposed, and it fainted, its breath becoming almost imperceptible.

It is very good at escaping and hiding. When it couldn't defeat the dark wizard, it learned many skills in this area without any instruction.

"laugh."

The Golden Witch didn't resort to any other tactics. She just glanced at the lamb and said, "I'll come and deal with you later."

Then, it disappeared on the spot.

The lamb ran over whining and kicked the little ice dragon. The latter quickly got up and rubbed against it as if to please him.

"You spineless thing! Saoirse hasn't even started beating you, and you've already confessed everything! She's not going to do anything to you, so why are you so cowardly!"

"Follow your master and learn from me more in the future. You are really embarrassing us!"

……

the other side.

The top of the North Tower.

There is a long square round table with eight seats distributed in a staggered manner.

As the space twisted, Saoirse appeared at the second seat and sat down.

"Excuse me, I just went to teach Lorena a lesson. She brought back a nature spirit, considered the successor of the Winter Dragon. I think it was also created by Malchana. It should be the key to the [Winter Land]."

"She's as efficient and effective as ever. After suppressing the Chaos Dragon, she came to the meeting. She even went out midway and casually created a new natural area. She's truly worthy of being our Golden Witch."

Zedo, who was in the fourth seat, spoke with a smile.

"Oh? [Winter Land]? It's happening faster than expected. According to the lady's prediction, it would be great if we can get the key within five years."

The one who spoke was the seventh seat, a young man dressed like an ordinary adventurer. He was handsome, but unfortunately he had strange face painting and colorful bird feathers stuck in his hat, which made him look a bit showy.

"Not bad! Little Lorena may be playful, but she's also quite efficient. I happen to be free for the next while, so when can I send her over to learn gem magic?"

"Haha, China, you're a legend after all, can you please have some dignity?"

Saoirse scoffed. "You've been using teaching as an excuse to take things from my treasure trove with Lorena all day... And you're dressed like a bird in heat. You have no taste at all. Get out of here after this meeting, or it'll be annoying to watch you."

"Ahhh, after all the hard work of exploring the ruins outside, the things we got are worse than begging from our second seat. Even the most enthusiastic adventurer can't help but feel discouraged."

The young man stretched lazily. "Besides, most of your treasure troves outside are listed with challenge levels, although the reference standards are all given by me."

"By the way, this is the most popular decoration in the Tusk Empire right now. I've charmed quite a few orc girls along the way. Honestly, I quite like their wildness, but it hurts when they're tickled. Of course, forget about someone like you. Dragons are still too scary..."

"you wanna die?"

"Have mercy!" the young man raised his hands. "Can you please not smear your face if I kneel down now? Chief, please save me. Let's continue the meeting!"

"The proposal has been approved."

The cold voice echoed in the room.

The one who spoke was the shadowy masked figure sitting at the head. It didn't matter who it was in the past; as long as it sat in this position, it symbolized the [Northern Tower].

"Winter Meeting continues, proceeding to item 15—"

"A month ago, the Fenghua Royal Family and Cloud City strengthened their cooperation. In addition to jointly combating the Papal State, they are suspected of planning to climb the Sky Maze once again. This information was provided by the Fenghua Kingdom's General Intelligence Department."

"Oh? They opened the maze again? How many floors did they go back to?"

Saoirse looked at China.

"I'm at level sixty-four. The highest is Fenghua's Legend, at level seventy-two. He's at least a legitimate astronomical scholar, so he has an advantage over me. But he's still a long way from reaching the hundredth level and getting Perron's legacy."

There was a moment of silence, no one asked any questions, and then continued.

"Sixteenth Item—"

"There are no abnormalities in the Elven Forest. The Moonlight Goddess shows no signs of recovery. The Ancient Tree God has shown slight reactions, possibly related to Baba Yaga's awakening. The Fairy Tale Island project, which has taken thousands of years to implement, is expected to be successfully completed within three rounds. The Ancient Scroll has been completed. This information was provided by Ms. Adela."

carry on.

"Seventeenth Item—"

"The Tusk Empire is undergoing a new savage return. The Beast God's condition is unobservable, and conflicts between the major tribes and the Empire are intensifying. This information was provided by the Seventh Seat."

All eyes turned to China.

"Don't look at me. I don't have the courage to get close. Otherwise, let Zedo try. He runs fast."

"Okay." The traveler in the fourth seat nodded.

carry on.

"Item 18—"

"The Church has established a new Saint, Celineville, who is presumed to be the vessel of either Remiel or Sariel. This information was provided by the Papal General Intelligence Office and confirmed by Ms. Adela."

"Connecting to the nineteenth matter—"

"Observing the changes in the abyss, we observed that the Kingdom of Heaven had violently collided with the Eternal Death Star and the Lightless Shadow, causing the Eternal Death Star to lose some of its spiritual power. Combining the eighty-six related records from the past, we speculate that the Kingdom of Heaven is about to create one of Remiel and Sariel. This information was provided by the Fourth Seat and confirmed by Ms. Adela."

"Over. Please approve the relevant resolutions. The resolutions have been distributed."

"The Chief abstains. Please respond."

There was silence for a moment.

"Tsk, what a hassle! Maybe there's going to be another archangel."

Saoirse held her forehead and slapped the table. "The second seat passed the resolution. Hey, you who reeks of the sea, are you there? Come out and make a sound!"

Suddenly.

A stream of sea water gushed out from the empty seat of the third seat and hit the Golden Witch head-on.

Of course, this was destroyed in mid-air by the golden light.

"The third seat abstained."

Zedo carefully moved to the side to avoid the aftermath of the fight between the two witches. This was definitely a matter of experience.

"I passed."

"This is the Heart of the Earth. I am passing this on my master's behalf."

The fifth seat was also empty, with only an alchemy puppet standing behind it.

The sixth seat is also empty.

"In the absence of the Sixth Seat, according to the public oath and agreement, the Seventh Seat will fully delegate his actions."

Qina had a hint of helplessness in his brows and shrugged, "Passed."

"Abstention".

The one speaking at the eighth seat was a skeleton bird.

"Ms. Adela has no objection."

"This concludes the meeting."

The words just fell.

The chief's masked figure's projection disappeared.

Saoirse looked at the puppet behind the fifth seat and asked, "Why is it you this time? Didn't old man Kumo let his beloved disciple come over?"

"The young master has departed for the southern part of the Northern Territory to serve as an examiner for the Southern Tower Academy and will also be responsible for handling matters related to the Calamity Cult."

The puppet answered respectfully.

"Oh? Come to think of it, we can't even handle a scoundrel like the Abyss Serpent Dachis, and yet we allow him to reach out to the land. Some of the guys in our council are really useless."

Saoirse supported her chin with her hand, and golden light stood up in front of her, blocking a handful of sea water and a pickled stinky fish.

At the same time, it was accompanied by a cold voice.

"Go to the Broken Sea and kill Charybdis first, or stop barking like a dog."

"Hmph, I'm much busier than you! Also, I'm warning you, don't throw this disgusting garbage here again next time!"

Silsa stared at the stinky fish, frowned in disgust, and casually threw it back.

She glanced at the people present, and before China could remove the feathers from her head, she disappeared into the room.

"...Wow, that's scary. I just finished a meeting and now I have to beat up some kids."

China moved closer stealthily and began to encourage, "Zedo, take a look."

The traveler nodded.

Reach out and knock.

The space is like an elongated mirror, reflecting a picture.

Inside is a little ice dragon pretending to be dead, a menacing lamb, and an even more menacing golden witch.

"Like sneaking around? Like lying to the teacher? Like stealing things from my treasure trove?"

The long whip gleamed with gold. "Tell me the truth. Who did you go out with? Man or woman? From which faction?"

"Humph! I'm going to fight you! I'm going to kill you!"

"You deserve a beating!"

"Kill you, you evil woman!"

"Looking for a fight! Huh? You two like peeping?"

“Help me…”

Without saying a word.

Ignoring the cries for help, he instantly closed the mirror.

Zedo and China looked at each other.

"Ever since she was able to transform into a sheep, it seems Lorena has become much tougher than before."

"really."

"I'm actually quite curious about who she was fooling around with. It shouldn't be in the North, right? Did she meet someone in the spirit world?"

"Well, it doesn't look like a person, it's a fat pigeon."
