Chapter 239 – #54_Lucky Witch (3)
#237
One.
Periwinkle put down the phone and checked the condition of the two.
Siwoo passed out from the drowned witch’s powerful mental attack, and Sharon collapsed with serious injuries that pierced her lungs.
First of all, the barrier was removed and the two were laid side by side on the restored bed.
Spiritual bodies do not die easily from minor injuries.
Even if a limb is cut off, it will regenerate after enough time, and even if the body is pierced, it will recover if appropriate measures are taken.
However, even considering the durability of such a spiritual body, Sharon’s wounds were serious.
The harpoon used by the drowned witch was made of seawater.
The problem is that this seawater is not just seawater that has become material through magic.
It is an extreme poison combined with fear and despair.
It’s not a big burden on the body, but maybe the damage hasn’t accumulated mentally…
Of course, the ‘worst case’ will be avoided, as Peri Winkle has her hand written.
Befitting the honorable title of the lucky witch, most of Periwinkle’s actions went the way she intended, and Periwinkle didn’t particularly want Evergreen to die.
“Well, it has nothing to do with me.”
While Periwinkle sat on the sofa and yawned slowly, the person who answered the phone opened the door and entered.
She was Eloati Ferret, frantically wandering around Seoul looking for Siu.
She knew that Tifereth was Siu’s notary, and her contact information was written on her cell phone, so she contacted her right away.
She ran so fast that her peach-colored hair was disheveled from the aftermath of the run, and her eyes were bloodshot.
“Nice to meet you. Cybele Periwinkle… Oh…?”
Without receiving all her greetings, Elroa passed Peri Winkle and examined him lying on the bed.
“Siwoo… Are you okay?”
He lowered the hand that had been handing Peri Winkle for a handshake and shrugged her shoulders.
It was a somewhat rude act to ignore greetings when first meeting, but considering the feelings of the guardian, there is nothing that cannot be taken into account.
Elroa saw Siu passed out, turned pale like her corpse, and she checked the condition of his body.
Fortunately, she doesn’t appear to be seriously injured.
However, the dissolution of her impatience also forced her to become depressed again for a while.
Because Sharon, who was lying next to her, was seriously injured from what she pretended to be.
“They’re both fine. They’re a little hurt, but they won’t die. Well, it’s all my credit.”
“What happened?”
To Tiphareth’s question, Periwinkle calmly explained.
Of course, the words that he stalked her to watch her sex scene exclude her and focus on her own performance.
“Would you like a drink?”
After explaining the situation, Periwinkle walked leisurely and handed a can of beer from the refrigerator to Tipharette.
Instead of grabbing the beer can, Tipharette grabbed Periwinkle’s hand.
And bows his head
“Thank you… Thank you… Thank you very much…”
“There’s no such thing as this. We have to help other witches and live. But if the duke really cares, I won’t refuse a weak castle.”
“I’ll definitely prepare enough rewards. I’ll never forget.”
“It was nothing.”
Handover will be over.
You don’t have to be in a place like this.
Periwinkle took out a business card from the product and handed it to Eloa.
“Because it was a personal transaction.”
“Deal?”
“I’m asking you not to forget this time and ask me to contact you. Enough then.”
“What do you mean by deal?”
When it seems to be related to Siwoo, Eloah persistently digs into it.
But Periwinkle said as she left the room without looking back.
“If you tell me, I’ll understand in moderation~”
2.
The night full of confusion is over.
Eloa, who was about to experience another loss, did not have time to blame herself for her mistakes.
This is because she had to head to the location point Gwanghwamun branch to pack Sharon and Siu.
“It doesn’t seem like an emergency, so I’m glad I’m out of misfortune.”
On the neatly arranged bed, Sharon is lying with her upper clothes removed.
Long silver needles were stuck all over her body, and the moxibustion was burning.
You can be relieved because it is the treatment of Dr. Su-ah, who knows how to handle healing techniques.
It was a very small consolation for Eloa, who had almost made her mistake again because of her lack of awareness.
Sua tidied up her disheveled hanbok and approached Eloah, who was sitting in front of her tea table.
Of course, Sharon’s healing is also an important issue, but the fundamental reason Elroa went straight to the location point was that Mr. Sua called Eloa directly.
Of course, the business was a meeting about the raid last night.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I have a little bit of a face to see Siwoo.”
“I’m glad the girl can help too.”
A dark shadow was cast over Sua’s face, which showed her modesty.
Last night Eloa, Siwoo, Sharon, and Periwinkle were attacked.
A large number of homunculi, led by the cowardly witch, attack the witch residing in Seoul at the same time.
Four out of a total of 12 witches died overnight.
Sua also manages to defeat the raid, but in return, her left arm is now half-paralyzed.
“What the hell is this…”
Eloah fell silent.
While the attack on Dagon’s flute is becoming a fait accompli due to the cowardly witch’s actions, an even worse incident takes place.
The sound of cracks seemed to be coming from some strangely connected incident.
Like a harbinger of a storm.
“It’s the karma of a girl who couldn’t deal with it properly.”
“Nothing to blame. No one would have thought that a cowardly witch would cause such a stir.”
As a bonus, even if Duke Keter reached this point, he wouldn’t step out.
No one could have predicted
“Is she still out of touch?”
She said, “She has already sent several messages to the Ivory Tower… But she has never heard back.”
It is not a sign to entrust all matters to Kether.
However, it is true that a very large part of the peace of the witch society depends on Duke Keter.
It is only because of the existence of Duke Keter that the powerful, dangerous, greedy, and ambitious exploits prostrate themselves and find a compromise between desire and risk.
Looking back at historical precedent, the cowardly witch has already crossed the line twice.
She slaughtered a large number of civilians without hindrance, and attacked countless witches at once to take her life.
Even so, Duke Keter did not move.
For some reason, if her inhibitions disappear or weaken…
After seeing the case of the cowardly witch, ‘Huh? I’m afraid to even predict how much damage a small idea, ‘Is it okay to get over this far?’
It would be a trivial accident for the public to see the liver, but countless witches and civilians would die.
“Let’s try to sort it out.”
But I don’t have the energy to worry about the future anymore.
Now is the time to discuss countermeasures against the Cowardly Witch.
Sua laid out the materials of the witches who were attacked last night on the tea table.
“Most of the witches who were attacked were witches who had a close relationship with location points.”
“The witches who were active in hunting the homunculus were killed.”
It was easy to find common ground among the witches who were attacked.
Because the target selection was so blatant.
The amount of bounty received by exchanging crystals at location points is quite large.
That word means that she is a witch who subdues the homunculus without bothering to avoid it, whether for money or personal beliefs.
“Anyway, it seems that this accident is an intention to reduce the witches staying in Seoul.”
“The witches will leave.”
“Yes… Already… More than half of the witches have left Seoul.”
Four witches died in one night.
Besides, if the person who did it is a cowardly witch who is reputed to be tricky and dangerous, there is no need for witches to remain in Seoul.
Not only the witches who were directly attacked, but also the witches who usually avoided battles with the homunculus would all disappear.
He must have known implicitly that this wasn’t all Xochitl wanted, that something even bigger was about to happen.
“What do you want…?”
Elroa was immersed in her troubles.
Acquired a large amount of magic power through Dagon’s flute.
The disappeared red knight and the newly appeared deteriorated copy white knight.
And even to drive out the witches through this raid…
The most puzzling thing is that most of the power that Xochitl had was consumed by the raid.
Not only the notorious Drowned Witch and Dream Horse, but also various tricky homunculi died in one night.
“If it wasn’t for causing madness… It would be right to see this as part of the plan.”
Eloah murmured.
Xochitl is obviously a crazy witch, but she is, but that doesn’t mean she’s a stupid witch.
She could foresee that she had discarded a tile that could have been discarded.
“Have you still not found Xochitl’s whereabouts?”
“Because I am a person who is good at hiding my body… I apologize.”
“I’m sorry. I can’t be of any help either…”
She wasn’t sitting on her cushion and drinking tea.
In the first place, she took the position of Gwanghwamun branch manager for the safety and comfort of her hometown, and she wanted to rule out variables beyond her expectations as soon as possible, so she has been working tirelessly to find the whereabouts of Sochitle.
However, most of the exploits are good at hiding their bodies.
Among them, the cowardly witch who didn’t stand on the battlefield and dealt with her familiars was impossible to find if she decided to hide, so she didn’t have much income.
“In addition, Radcliffe’s whereabouts are unknown.”
“The Witch of Embers?”
“Yes, upon investigation, it is said that she is a motive of Trinity Academy and that the cowardly witch in the past had a close relationship before becoming a public enemy. However, coincidentally, she hid herself right before the incident occurred… I think it is suspicious, so I know the current whereabouts. “
Her head was pounding.
How many more will be killed or injured…
“How about asking for help from Gehenna or other location points?”
Even if I say it with my mouth, I give up halfway.
Could the witches of Gehenna, who are immersed in leisurely magic research, come to the present age to stop the exploits that are running rampant with the brakes broken?
Moreover, witches in other location points will not move for a while.
“I will discuss with the government and try to cover the amount needed for appeasement.”
“Thank you.”
“It’s just to protect the land where I was born and raised.”
The meeting that day ended without a sharp conclusion being reached.
I’d rather cut down the enemy if I could see it in front of me…
Even the whereabouts are unknown, so I can’t figure it out.
Eloa let out a deep sigh.
A gloomy autumn rain fell from the sky as if painted with ink.
