The Witch's Imaginary Land: Redemption Comes After Sticking Together

Page 145

Jiang Kehan ​​had talked to An Meng after their battle. She knew that An Meng's path was actually a type of path that was discriminated against by cult witches and could not be considered orthodox.

The power of the cult is "eroded" from other beings, but the fact that it can be directly taken from them means that the difference in strength between the two sides is not that great.

Therefore, simply relying on robbery to increase one's strength is called "health preservation" in the world of cult witches.

If we were to describe how orthodox cult witches acquire their powers, we could use deception, theft, or even stock manipulation.

They are like capitalists among witches, focusing on extracting power from other beings far stronger than themselves. In extreme cases, they even lend money to a race with potential, creating their own pool of exploited individuals for sustainable harvesting.

They manipulate power like currency, making it seem like a currency, which makes these witches appear somewhat fragile most of the time.

Because they allow power to circulate in different places, only recalling it when needed.

This results in the power of a cult witch who is not well-versed in her skills sometimes fluctuating wildly, with her power rising and falling uncontrollably.

But it's clear that Xiao Ting doesn't belong to the category of those who are not skilled enough.

“Compared to other heretical witches, Xiao Ting already has the qualifications to be the leader.” Wu Yuhan rarely had a headache, and she instructed.

"The bookmakers basically don't lose any power, and they can also extract the power of other borrowers in advance, which makes their strength more than one level higher than that of normal witches."

"And it's not just that the upper limit is high, the battery life is also top-notch."

Jiang Kehan ​​understood this deeply. She had felt it during her battle with An Meng. An Meng was even tougher and more resilient than Li Hui, while An Meng was nothing compared to Xiao Ting.

"I'm eager to fight an opponent who has almost no weaknesses."

Jiang Kehan ​​was not as serious as Wu Yuhan had imagined; instead, she smiled and seemed eager to try.

"Um, do you know, Kehan?" Wu Yuhan inexplicably felt that the other party was deliberately making a scene in front of her, especially since she couldn't see Jiang Kehan's future clearly.

She disliked Jiang Kehan's attitude and couldn't help but pour cold water on it.

"Xiao Ting's spells are commensurate with her maximum strength. In other words, she not only has a magic power close to yours, but the average level of her spells is also far higher than yours."

"To put it bluntly, she is you who has been fully enhanced in a short period of time."

"I know." Jiang Kehan ​​looked very calm. Her smile was light, like a breeze across a lake, which made Wu Yuhan pause for a moment.

"If I were simply afraid of failure, I wouldn't be standing here."

"Isn't that right?" She tilted her head, as if saying something self-evident.

“I…” Wu Yuhan suddenly realized where her inner turmoil came from. How long had it been since she had lost control of things?

How long has it been since she last looked at other people from her own perspective?

This discovery left even herself momentarily stunned.

Wu Yuhan began to ponder when he had become this somewhat timid person.

The result, however, made her even more silent.

She seems to have been like this since birth, and there is only one reason why she feels uncomfortable: she was briefly pulled out of this mindset by others.

However, she took that brief period for granted, arrogantly telling herself that she was no longer the timid person she once was.

"I understand." Wu Yuhan slowly exhaled, lowering his eyes so that Jiang Kehan ​​could not see his thoughts.

"You and Li Hui are really different." She smiled helplessly, her expression softening slightly.

"Huh? What happened to Li Hui again?" Jiang Kehan ​​seemed to have been triggered by a keyword and immediately became interested.

"It's nothing. I was just thinking about a similar conversation we had when we first met," Wu Yuhan said, waving her hand to cover it up. That was a secret between her and Li Hui.

She still remembers the first time she met Li Hui; it was in the future.

In that false world that originally belonged only to her, Li Hui turned around in confusion and waved to her.

That's why Wu Yuhan's attitude towards Li Hui was so special, because on that day she realized that there was someone who could transcend falsehood and reality, remaining unchanged in her turbulent vision.

For the first time, she felt that she wouldn't be afraid of losing anyone and had found a safe haven.

"I remember her saying back then that the future wasn't a reason to be afraid, what was scary was having no future. She really knew how to act cool."

Wu Yuhan chuckled softly, prompting Jiang Kehan ​​to nod in agreement.

"Exactly, exactly. Li Hui is great in every way, except he likes riddle tellers."

In fact, Li Hui had never asked a riddle. Wu Yuhan blinked as he watched Jiang Kehan, who was clearly no longer restrained.

When she said those words, she could see emptiness in Li Hui's eyes, an endless emptiness.

However, Wu Yuhan did not tell Jiang Kehan ​​that when she looked at the little girl in front of her, she suddenly felt old and began to shrink back.

Jiang Kehan ​​is different from Li Hui. If Li Hui gave Wu Yuhan a place to rest briefly in the illusion, then Jiang Kehan ​​seems to want to pull Wu Yuhan back to reality from the illusion.

Wu Yuhan admitted that she was afraid; she couldn't imagine what Jiang Kehan ​​would do after hearing about this.

She just felt inexplicably tired.

There was a moment when she was so tired that she couldn't help but imagine how much better it would be if she didn't have these eyes.

But that was only for a moment. Wu Yuhan seemed to brush away the dust that had settled on the corner of his clothes, and once again resumed his arrogant and aloof demeanor.

She looked at Jiang Kehan ​​in front of her and spoke calmly, but there seemed to be a different kind of light in her eyes.

"I look forward to you bringing me victory."

"I will." Jiang Kehan ​​puffed out her chest and couldn't help but pat it a few times to prove her determination.

She suddenly gave a shy smile, looked at Wu Yuhan with sincere eyes, and slowly said.

"But could you please consult with everyone when making decisions?"

Jiang Kehan ​​could tell that Wu Yuhan was in a good mood, so she took the opportunity to express her worries. She was just that kind of person who was good at "pushing her luck".

Give her a chance and she'll climb the ladder, but most of the time, she's not climbing for her own benefit.

Wu Yuhan subconsciously wanted to stare at Jiang Kehan ​​with a cold gaze, forcing her to take back her words.

But when she saw Jiang Kehan's expectant eyes, which seemed to be filled with starlight, and her unwavering heart, her words took a sharp turn and changed completely.

"If you can win, I won't interfere with you."

Who knew Wu Yuhan was such a proud and aloof person... Jiang Kehan ​​blinked in surprise, instantly feeling delighted.

She was prepared to be rejected, and her words were more of a prelude to letting Wu Yuhan know the school team's attitude, which was also the reason she came here.

She and Ariel shared the idea that the conflict shouldn't wait until the competition started to escalate.

But the other party actually agreed, which was a pleasant surprise!

"Of course!" Jiang Kehan ​​couldn't help but hum a song. It was clear that she was really happy, so much so that her smile was like the first glimmer of light breaking through the darkness of the night.

"Then let's continue by talking about who else I need to keep an eye on." She shook her head, looking rather cute.

Wu Yuhan looked at Jiang Kehan ​​with a puzzled expression. She couldn't understand why Li Hui and the others would fall for this seemingly dim-witted witch.

This was practically letting loose, but surprisingly she wasn't too bothered by it, just a little helpless.

Wu Yuhan sighed softly in his heart, but did not show it. Instead, he picked up his cane and gently tapped Jiang Kehan ​​on the head.

"Don't get too cocky, Kehan."

Jiang Kehan ​​chuckled, but then became quiet.

"The last one is actually someone you know," Wu Yuhan said, placing the documents in front of Jiang Kehan.

Acquaintances? Jiang Kehan ​​has quite a few acquaintances, but she is quite certain that none of them are listed in these documents.

This made her eyes widen in surprise as she looked at Wu Yuhan with a puzzled expression.

"This is also an employee of the Witch's Tavern; you should have heard of her," Wu Yuhan said calmly. "She is a rare vampire witch."

Jiang Kehan ​​looked at the photo in the document and suddenly remembered it.

The witch in the photo is wearing a gorgeous dark red evening gown, holding a thin, gray-black withered thorn in her hand, with a half-smile on her face.

The only problem is that she might be shorter than Jiang Kehan, which makes her look less imposing.

But it is indeed very elegant, which matches Jiang Kehan's imagination of a vampire witch.

“I remember her name was Jolie Quentin,” Jiang Kehan ​​said, rubbing her chin.

The other person's name was engraved on the coffin she placed in the tavern's lounge, and it was prefixed with a rare title.

"I think he was a prince?" Jiang Kehan ​​asked uncertainly, since the Great Hua Empire of Kongdu did not have the concept of noble titles.

She didn't know much about other empires either.

"Yes, but that was her title before she became a witch. She is a transformation witch." Wu Yuhan nodded, but still gave Jiang Kehan ​​a word of advice.

"But don't underestimate her. Vampires are not a suitable race to become witches; their potential is too low. But those who can transcend racial limitations to become witches are all extraordinary."

"I remember when she was found, a dim blood moon pierced through the clouds and crows. She was leaning against a withered tree, with a pool of blood reflecting everything in front of her."

"And all around were corpses."

So handsome... Jiang Kehan ​​subconsciously thought of this very artistic scene, but she couldn't help but laugh.

Because, given Jolie Quentin's height, she looks like a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur) deep in thought.

The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't help but laugh.

Wu Yuhan didn't notice Jiang Kehan's strange behavior; she simply continued speaking, seemingly lost in thought.

"However, the reason I included her on your list of threats is purely because she only knows one school of magic: Forbidden."

what?

Jiang Kehan's smile faded, and her face gradually turned serious as she looked at the photos in the documents.

The witch's guild has a rather diverse range of magical schools; for example, she is proficient in three different schools and has some knowledge of six different schools.

After all, there's nothing a witch can't learn.

Moreover, different schools of magic have their own different tendencies, and in order to handle complex situations well, it is inevitable that you need to know a little bit about them.

For example, even witches who are not proficient in the Arcane school will learn the Cleansing spells from it.

In such a situation, knowing only one spell faction means that the opponent has mastered that faction to the fullest extent, completely replacing the role of other factions.

Moreover, this faction is the most mysterious and the most difficult to deal with, indicating that the opponent is not an easy witch to deal with.

"What about their specific strength?" Jiang Kehan ​​asked Wu Yuhan, becoming wary.
