Zhu Zhi's heart was filled with an eternal, deathly stillness, as if she was struggling. She wasn't in a hurry to find the necklace. Who could say that she wasn't giving herself some time to soothe the long-lost unease in her heart?
After all, the so-called sunset is the sun of the past that has already fallen into darkness or even died.
There is no place for her in this new world.
Only someone like her, or a dying star, would yearn for the afterglow of another's light.
Sigh, but boiled cola really doesn't taste good... Zhu Zhi casually tossed aside the soda in her hand, strode along, and followed Ye Laixiang casually. The color in her eyes was far darker than the night.
Only after Zhu Zhi moved did Jennifer Hayes dare to try to follow. She wanted to speak up and tell Ye Laixiang that the other party had not lost her power.
But as if her fate had been predetermined, she could only walk forward stiffly, leaving behind a heart full of terror.
Zhu Zhi seemed to sense Jennifer Hayes's thoughts. She turned around leisurely, put her index finger to her lips, blew a little air, and looked at him with a teasing expression.
"Keep it a secret!"
Jennifer Hayes became utterly cold, slightly chilling.
Chapter 425 Greed is the best praise for a witch
Jiang Kehan has left Baiyinhai and arrived at Alfate Mountain.
After witnessing Theresa's death, she had a bad feeling.
So, after quickly completing the contract with Celia, she returned to reality with Ye Yu and the three cat-ball-shaped bodies under the latter's somewhat worried gaze.
At this moment, Jiang Kehan was braving the wind and snow, walking towards Riemann.
Although we don't know what Night Fragrance's purpose is, whatever she wants to do, she can't avoid the core city of Fran, Riemann, and its true master—Keva Miller.
"Kehan, you don't look well." Audmiao followed beside Jiang Kehan, looking at her with some concern.
It was rare to see Jiang Kehan with such an expression, after all, she used to always be optimistic and had a gentle smile.
"is it?"
Jiang Kehan was startled awake. At this moment, her mind was filled with various scenarios. The snow was falling heavily in front of her, but it was like birds flying by, passing by without leaving any emotion in her heart.
"I'm just... a little scared."
Jiang Kehan did not hide her emotions. After a bitter smile, she spoke with a hint of realization.
"You know what, Ody Meow?"
“I have never been coerced to this extent, nor have I ever felt such a heavy responsibility.”
"It seemed as if all of a sudden, I was pushed from the greenhouse into the midst of a downpour, with only dark clouds and thunderclaps that seemed to unleash my destiny."
Jiang Kehan couldn't help but touch her chest, feeling her heart still beating steadily, like a murmur.
"But these are not reasons for me to be afraid. On the contrary, they make me calmer and more able to face real danger with clarity."
"Perhaps, this is my instinct and original intention."
Jiang Kehan forced a smile, but in Audmon's eyes, it was all forced.
Just as it was about to offer comfort, it heard Jiang Kehan's unending words drifting through the wind and snow.
"What I fear is resentment..."
Jiang Kehan looked up and saw the sunlight not far away. To return to Riemann quickly, she had to rely on the power of the other great witches. Fortunately, the note Eva left for her was still valid.
Therefore, she was able to reach the final battlefield with the help of the other great witches.
Even in such a rush.
"I can almost guess that this historical anomaly will not take my life, nor will it affect my glorious future."
“I can even guess what other great ideas are guarding the gate of time and space.”
Jiang Kehan looked ahead at the village, which appeared somewhat oppressive due to the impact of the war, and said this.
“Witches always respect the thoughts of other witches, whether good or bad.”
“Great men may help me, but they will never reach out to a sinner who is willing to die, nor should they.”
Jiang Kehan glanced at Ye Yu, who was trapped in the spatial bubble and couldn't hear their conversation for the time being, and spoke softly.
"You know what? Big Meow told me a cruel truth..."
Jiang Kehan looked at the village in front of her, handed the note to the bird-like Origin Cat, and asked it to find the nearby Great Witch. Then she continued.
She said that to change the fate of one witch, the life of another witch must be sacrificed.
"Although it is somewhat limited by the times, this statement still has its own truth—a witch's creation from nothing cannot easily work on another witch."
"To change history, one must pay an equal price. In this fabricated history, who can afford to pay that price?"
Odcat wasn't stupid; its gaze involuntarily drifted towards Ye Yu, but it remained silent.
This witch named Pleasure has probably already made her decision.
After all, in their eyes, exchanging the life of a tormented witch for the life of Keva Miller and many more Farron witches was definitely a worthwhile choice.
In fact, the great men gave this meritorious person one last chance.
If she could truly change history, then the greats would acknowledge this historical anomaly and replace falsehood with truth.
But this trend is absolutely unacceptable, so until it is truly completed, the greats will regard her as their real enemy.
The only good news is that Little Lilith, who is in charge of overseeing all the time portals, cannot directly interfere. Otherwise, any other great being would have nipped Night Fragrance's idea in the bud long ago.
But no matter what, Jiang Kehan won't be the one to pay the price, will she?
Jiang Kehan clenched her hands, her eyes lowered.
She could feel the anger and repression, like a giant dragon hovering in the sky, wanting to tear the earth and the sky apart.
Yes, she will not be sacrificed, but can those emotions etched in her heart be easily dispelled?
Ye Yu is Jiang Kehan’s acknowledged teacher and the “family” she can rely on. Why should she sit idly by and watch him go down a dead end?
Jiang Kehan wanted to save Keva Miller and the others, and Ye Yu also wanted to save them!
She wants it all!!!
Hailing from Earth and hailed as the least witch-like witch, Jiang Kehan has no interest in adhering to any notion of "mutual respect." All she wants to do is pin her teacher to the ground and spank her with a ruler.
Jiang Kehan knew exactly what she was going to do and never hesitated.
Because if she hesitates, she will forever be burdened with that sense of resentment and regret, as if a piece of her heart has been torn away.
Jiang Kehan knew she was greedy, but greed was the best compliment a witch could receive.
What she really needs to worry about is the difficult future.
To achieve the happy ending that Jiang Kehan seeks, two conditions must be met.
To stop the night-blooming jasmine, and to replace it with another offering.
Although it sounds simple, the actual difficulty is the same as a certain widely circulated joke.
Putting an elephant in a refrigerator only takes three steps: open the refrigerator, put the elephant in, and close the refrigerator.
But just thinking about it is full of fanciful ideas.
Stopping Night Fragrance sounds easy, after all, the opponent's strength is only at the peak of the middle witch level, while Jiang Kehan has three cat balls with the combat power of a great witch by her side.
But the fact that Night-Blooming Jasmine had the courage to face Keva Miller and the confidence to support Little Lilith for a moment shows that she also had strong external support.
It was even so powerful that it was far beyond what Jiang Kehan and the cats could match.
However, Jiang Kehan is also available as an external helper. "God" and Boss Meow have both agreed to help Jiang Kehan.
The outcome is still uncertain.
Jiang Kehan had already chosen the offering to replace the night-blooming jasmine, the only drawback being that it required the permission of Mingqi VIIISi*qi Siwu Q*^6U-N Keva Miller.
Yes, she wanted to fill this void with the resentment she had accumulated from the time of the saintess to the time of the society.
However, it wasn't the witch's resentment that was used, but rather the resentment from a much earlier time—the resentment of those who had turned their guns on the saintess, and the resentment of those mortal enemies in foreign wars.
Although the quality is somewhat poor, the quantity is definitely sufficient.
Most importantly, Keva Miller has the ability to integrate the resentment of these alien races and simulate a "sacrifice" equivalent to Ye Yu.
After all, Keva Miller is a person blessed with talent.
Chapter 426 Confrontation
Origin Cat moved quickly, and soon a great witch arrived, looking at Jiang Kehan with some curiosity.
"What do you want from me?" the other person asked.
Jiang Kehan forced a smile, stared intently at the other person, and slowly spoke.
"I want to return to Riemann. Please open a portal for me."
Because of the civil war, the space around Riemann has been sealed off. If a witch whose magical fluctuations have not been recorded tries to force her way to Riemann, she will only be met with attacks from countless arrays and witches, enough to severely injure the Alliance's Great Witch.
Not to mention the cat balls, since their bodies don't have the witch's regenerative abilities. If they are damaged, it will take at least two or three days to reassemble and return to Jiang Kehan's side.
Jiang Kehan couldn't accept even half a day, let alone two or three days.
With the decisive battle just around the corner, losing men over such a trivial matter is simply ridiculous!
Therefore, even with three catballs possessing the power of a great witch, Jiang Kehan still needed to rely on a great witch from a non-alliance side to quickly reach Leman.
"It's nothing." The Great Witch nodded slightly, but then, as if suddenly remembering something, she said to Jiang Kehan with some seriousness.
"However, if you are going to Riemann to find Eva Carson, she has been sent by Keva Miller to the south to quell the unrest."
"Even the Dragon Queen went to the West, and at this time, only Keva Miller was left to guard the Riemann region."
Jiang Kehan keenly sensed something was wrong and frowned.
Logically speaking, the alliance following Theresa's death no longer needed Eva Carson and the Dragon Queen to go to the front lines. Their more important responsibility was to return to Riemann and negotiate the power transition with the other great witches.
After Theresa's outburst, Fran could no longer maintain its loose structure. The witch had to find a new order to adapt to the drastically changing social situation.
On the other hand, the path of the Great Witches dictates that they must fight for their rightful rights.
For example, decentralize the power of the King and allow the Great Witch to interfere in the internal affairs of France, instead of each going their own way as before.
Therefore, from both their own perspective and from Fran's perspective, it would be best for Eva Carson and Lorraine to remain in Riemann.
Unless... their departure was deliberately requested by Keva Miller.
