Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

"Yes."

Stewart smiled and nodded, reminiscing about the past years.

"At that time, I was young and frivolous. I thought hunting the horned deer was challenging and worth a try... I prepared enough supplies, but the harsh environment and the tenacity of the horned deer were beyond my imagination. I almost died together with the horned deer. Fortunately, a meteorological expedition team found me. If it was a little later, I would have lost my ears and one leg. In return, I only kept the horned deer's head as a souvenir, which reminded me how cruel the weather in the north is."

"It sounds like you didn't accept anyone's commission. Did you want to take on the challenge yourself?"

"Haha... I have missed the invitation from Hades countless times, but I couldn't help but try every time."

Angelica and Stewart had an unexpected coincidence. Stewart used to be a fearless adventurer. The trophies in the bedroom were not bought by Stewart, but were the result of his own pride.

"Chloe said you accepted my commission... After a long time, I almost forgot that I had posted it. As you can see, there is not much people at home. I have traveled all over the country, but now I am old and seriously ill. I don't have much time left, so I want to find someone to chat with. Chloe is used to hearing my stories."

"Master, don't say that, you will definitely get better!"

In response to Chloe's comfort, Stewart just smiled bitterly.

"I only have about ten days left to live. If someone is willing to accept my commission during this last period of time, it may be that the gods still love me, just like they rescued me from the hands of Hades several times."

The commission was simple. Stewart had been an adventurer in the past and was not used to staying at home. Chloe, the only maid in the house, had to do the housework alone and had no extra time to chat with Stewart.

Angelica's job is to spend time with Stewart.

"I've been to the North before. The meteorological expedition you're talking about must be from Kluistil."

Abigail was very interested in the North mentioned by Angelica and Stuart. She was at the age where she liked to listen to stories, and Stuart didn't mind having a little listener. In a sense, Angelica and Abigail were exactly the people Stuart expected, one to talk to and the other to listen.

"Kreustil?"

"A city in the north, in the midst of a constant snowstorm."

"That's right. The Kluistil people have lived in a blizzard for several generations. It is said that only the Kluistil people can find the right path in the northern environment. After I was rescued by the expedition team that day..."

Stewart enthusiastically recounted his experiences and what he had seen in the North. Angelica and Abigail acted as listeners most of the time. Occasionally, when they talked about topics she was familiar with, she would interject appropriately, which prompted Stewart to nod repeatedly, with excited responses such as "Yes, yes, that's it" and "You've seen it too", etc.

Stewart claimed that he had only about ten days left to live, but looking at his energy he didn't look like someone who was about to die.

"By the way, there's a strange artifact in the museum in Kluistil, similar to the one you took."

Abigail looked in the direction of Stuart's finger and found that he was referring to Angelica's wand placed against the wall.

"broom?"

"Yes, a broom. The people of Kruistil said that they found a suitable location for the city with the help of a man holding a broom. Although most of these stories are just legends, the broom in the museum was put there by the first city owner himself. It is very commemorative."

"Pfft...putting a broom in a museum? That's his style."

"Have you ever been to the museum in Kluistil? There are many things in there that only people who survive in extremely cold environments can tinker with."

"No. Tell me about it."

After all, when Angelica went to Kreustil, there were no museums. In Angelica's memory, the North was not as cold as it is now. The witches at that time had not yet mastered space warping, and the witches who could not lead the people of the North out of the blizzard established a city-state with their tribal leaders.

By the time Angelica learned how to fold space and cross the severe snowstorm again, the people who worked with her to build the city were no longer there. The witch never felt that she had saved Kleisstil, because while the witch was learning how to fold space, they had stood firm in the cold wind on their own.

35 The Millennium Kingdom of Miss Witch

Time passed quickly and it was night. Chloe prepared dinner for everyone. After she cleaned up the meal, Stewart continued to chat with the two of them tirelessly.

"Master, you should rest."

"Oh? Is it that late already?"

Stewart seemed to have just come to his senses. Chloe had already lit the oil lamp and was quite helpless about Stewart's willfulness.

"Master was so busy chatting that he only ate half of his dinner. He should pay more attention to his health."

"Haha, thank you for your trouble, but I hope Chloe can understand. I haven't met someone I can talk to so well in a long time. Take care, both of you. Devin Town is very safe at night, you can rest assured."

"Speaking of which, I have a favor to ask. Actually, we don't have money for accommodation. If you don't mind us being a nuisance, can we stay with you for a while during the commission?"

"No problem. Chloe, please prepare a room for you two to rest."

"Yes, sir."

Stewart readily agreed to Angelica's request, and even Chloe, who left Stewart's bedroom, expressed her sincere emotion.

"Please allow me to thank you personally. The master hasn't been so happy for a long time. I can hear the master's laughter when I was cleaning downstairs."

"You and Mr. Stewart... must have a very good relationship, right?"

"I am a homeless child. The master adopted me after he returned to Devin Town. Although it may be presumptuous to say this, I have always regarded the master as my father in my heart."

"He shouldn't be unhappy. He mentioned you when we were chatting. He said you were a very obedient child. He even... hoped that all his inheritance would be passed on to you after his death."

Angelica chose to tell the truth. Every time she mentioned Mr. Stewart's condition, Chloe's expression became much darker.

Angelica was puzzled by this. She was not well versed in medicine, but no matter how she looked at him, Stuart didn't look like someone who only had a dozen days left to live.

"What is Mr. Stewart's disease?"

"I don't know. The doctor in town said it was a terminal illness."

Chloe wanted to say something when there was a hurried knock on the door. Angelica was curious about who would visit so late, but Chloe seemed to be used to it and hurried downstairs to deal with it.

Angelica vaguely heard Chloe arguing with someone. After a while, the argument stopped and she returned to the second floor with a very forced smile and set up a rest room for Angelica and Abigail.

The next morning, after enjoying breakfast, Angelica came to Stewart's bedroom again. The difference was that besides Abigail, there was also a slightly troubled Chloe.

"I feel bad for her being so busy while we're chatting here, so I used some magic to help her out. Mr. Stewart, do you mind having an extra listener?"

"Of course I don't mind, as long as Chloe doesn't mind the same old story she's heard so many times before."

Stewart laughed heartily, and it seemed that he had just noticed the peculiarities of Angelica's attire.

"Speaking of which...are you a magician?"

"Know a thing or two about magic."

"No need to be modest. I know that people with outstanding magical talents all have their own pride."

"Since you've said that, I'll admit it. Yes, I'm a genius beautiful magician."

Chloe was shocked. Wow, this person is really not modest at all. She even emphasizes that she is a beautiful girl. Although Chloe was very unhappy, her first impression when she saw Angelica was that there was such a beautiful girl.

Abigail completely understood Chloe's feelings. She held Chloe's hand and whispered to Chloe that Angelica had always been like this. It would be better to say that she usually didn't even have the symbolic modesty of knowing a thing or two.

Stewart was filled with emotion.

"I really envy the magic genius. In order to facilitate my adventures, I have also learned some magic, but my talent is average, only up to the level of Sequence 8 at most. If it weren't for the amulet, I would have lost my life many times."

"amulet?"

"Chloe, help me get the treasure from the drawer."

Chloe followed orders and took out an old-looking item from a box in the room. It looked similar to a sachet, but Angelica could tell it was a prop with magical powers.

Angelica asked Stewart to observe it closely. She watched it repeatedly and was amazed at the production concept of the magic item that Stewart called amulet. It contained a spell that was enough to activate sequence six magic. Normally, the user only needed to charge it and inject magic power into it on time. When the limit was reached, it would be able to protect the life of the holder.

Angelica was sure that there was no similar item in the world before she went into seclusion, so out of curiosity she asked Stewart about the origin of the amulet.

Stuart thought that Angelica was a magic genius who had no use for the amulet and therefore didn't know its origin, so he explained with a smile.

"The amulet was made by the chief court magician of the distant Kingdom of Pilsen."

"Eh? Flower Magician?"

"Yes, I bought it when it was first introduced because I thought it was very useful. I almost spent all my savings at that time. As a result, over the past few decades, the Flower Magician has been committed to reducing the cost of the amulet. Now the price of the amulet is less than one-third of what I paid for it at that time. I don't think I lost out. Later, it was this item that brought me huge wealth and allowed me to return home in glory."

Abigail thought that Stuart's wealth came from his adventure diary. Hearing what Stuart said, there must be some of his proud adventure stories in it. Seeing Abigail's expectant eyes, Stuart contentedly changed the subject.

"Do you know the Kingdom of Yamauroti?"

"The Kingdom of Yamauroti... I've never heard of it. What a strange name..."

Stewart turned his eyes to Angelica, who looked young but surprisingly knowledgeable. Unexpectedly, Angelica didn't say much this time.

"The Yamauroti Kingdom was destroyed thousands of years ago. There is a rare mineral called magic crystal ore that was produced at the site of the Yamauroti Kingdom. When I was exploring the site of the Yamauroti Kingdom, I accidentally discovered a large amount of magic crystal ore. By selling the magic crystal ore, I gained more wealth than I can spend in my lifetime."

"Why didn't anyone rebuild the kingdom that was destroyed thousands of years ago?"

Abigail naturally raised the question. The Yamauroti Kingdom had been destroyed for a thousand years, so it should be impossible for the old site to exist. There might be some ruins, but they should be protected as cultural relics, and adventurers should not be allowed to enter without permission.

"This is about the history of the Yamauroti Kingdom... Child, you may not believe it, but it is said that the Yamauroti Kingdom was founded by two witches."

36 The Witch Lady's Crazy Fans

Stewart was in his prime at that time and was not afraid of any danger or challenge. In his view, the former site of the Kingdom of Amauroti was nothing more than an unknown place waiting for him to challenge, just like the North.

"Whether the Kingdom of Yamauroti was founded by witches is unknown. The mainstream view is that the Kingdom of Yamauroti was founded by the "Black" witch and the "Orange" witch. No one knows the detailed relationship between the two witches, because the Kingdom of Yamauroti was truly destroyed, and not even a single survivor was left."

"The Black Witch?"

Abigail looked at Angelica in astonishment. She remembered Angelica had said that her title was the "Black" Witch, but Angelica did not have any expression. She just listened to Stewart calmly.

"Some say that the witch longed to build a kingdom where everyone is equal and all races can survive; some say that the two witches were like sisters or even lovers; some say that the "Orange" witch fell into madness at the end of her rule and began to kill her own people; others say that the two witches eventually turned against each other and the battle between them destroyed the Kingdom of Amauroti, turning it into ruins, and even the "Orange" witch died in the battle."

"Really, really?"

"I'm an adventurer, not an archaeologist. These are what I heard from an archaeologist's camp near the ruins of the Yamauroti Kingdom. Chloe, help me get the books from the cabinet."

Chloe knew exactly what Stewart was referring to, and the archaeologists left Stewart with souvenirs.

“This is the research document given to me by the archaeologists at that time.”

"It sounds like something important."

"I thought so at the time, and later they said it was available in Neuss at any time. Neuss is a gathering place for a group of fans of the "Black" Witch. Archaeologists call them the Witch Cult, and this "Witch's Quotes" is their missionary guide. Most of the content in it records what the "Black" Witch said, as well as some of their research on the "Black" Witch. The interesting thing is that because they respect the "Black" Witch too much, they dare not call her by her name, and use other names instead. "

Abigail found that Angelica's expression was completely frozen. The key point was that Stewart didn't know that Angelica was the "Black" witch herself, and she was still telling the story tirelessly.

Abigail hurried to smooth things over for Angelica.

"It must be the witch lady, or the adult, right?"

"No, they call the 'black' witch Jie Ge."

Click——

Chloe was startled. The teacup in Angelica's hand inexplicably broke into several pieces, and Angelica's hands couldn't stop shaking.

Chloe quickly picked up the broom to clean up the debris. Fortunately, Angelica's slender fingers were not injured, but what Chloe didn't know was that Angelica's heart was severely hurt.

Angelica knew without a doubt that, apart from Coppelia, no one would do such a boring thing. That guy is a complete twisted monster... After Abigail is settled, I will take some time to wipe out the lair of that man named Noyce. I must not let Coppelia ruin my reputation.

"There is a sentence in "Witch's Quotes" that I think is very good: As long as you set foot on the starting point now, it is not too late..."

"Mr. Stewart, first of all, I didn't say that. Secondly, Mr. Stewart has gone off topic. Weren't we talking about how Mr. Stewart made his fortune?"

Angelica brought Stuart back on track without hesitation. Stuart was a very talkative person, and if he was not properly restrained, he would talk about anything. Although Stuart was a little surprised by Angelica's inexplicable first half of the sentence, he realized that he had gone off topic.

"Oh, right. Let's continue talking about the Yamauroti Kingdom. Archaeologists say that the conflict between the two witches permanently changed the environment of the Yamauroti Kingdom. It was an impact caused by multiple sequence one magics. The air contained a strong magic factor. You must have magic protection to enter without risk, otherwise the air would be highly toxic to ordinary people. But at the same time, the environment of the former site of the Yamauroti Kingdom changed the ore, forming a special substance called magic crystal ore, which can be used to make stronger armor and weapons."

Due to the influence of multiple sequence one magics, even if the "Black" witch were allowed to set foot on the ruins of the former Kingdom of Yamauroti now, I'm afraid the witch herself would not be able to clear the miasma surrounding the ruins of the former Kingdom of Yamauroti.

"With the help of the amulet, I was able to enter the ruins of the Yamauroti Kingdom. For thousands of years, countless gold diggers wanted to make a fortune with magic crystal mines, so the place was filled with skeletons. There was not a single living thing, not even trees or water. I accidentally fell into a cave, but fortunately I was not fatally injured. Instead, I discovered a large amount of magic crystal mines in the cave. I used the magic crystal mines to make a deal with speculators staying outside the ruins of the Yamauroti Kingdom, and I got more money than I can spend in my lifetime."

Stewart said it lightly. At that time, he once thought that he was really going to die at the site of the former Kingdom of Amauroti. People always look back on their lives before they die. Stewart had been wandering outside for most of his life. Before he died, he suddenly recalled his hometown, the town of Devin.

"After I got the money, I returned to my hometown... I can't remember how long I had been away. The town was still living in the same state as before I left. Devin was not a wealthy town. There were no special products to show off, and merchants had no reason to stay in Devin."

At this point, Angelica roughly understood why the roads in Devin Town were so different.

"You renovated the roads in Devin?"

"Well, I used my savings to do a large-scale renovation of my hometown. I strengthened the city walls and hired more guards to protect the town. If merchants are willing to come, there will be more travelers. Over time, the town will prosper..."

Stewart said this with relief, but after hearing what Stewart said, Chloe, who had just cleaned up the remains of the teacup, kept her head down, looking like she was worried about something.

There was another knock on the door, and Chloe took the opportunity to leave in a hurry.

There is indeed a hidden story behind this.

Angelica made up an excuse to temporarily leave Stewart and followed Chloe downstairs. The visitor was a middle-aged man with bags of gifts in his hands.

"I'm here to visit Uncle Stewart."

"I'm sorry, the master is not in good health and cannot receive outsiders now."

"What are you talking about? I'm not an outsider."
