Chapter 0717 Return
The day the plane gate opened.
After eight months of long-term killing in the Otherworld, the various factions of the Northland Witches have also returned to Shadow Island one after another.
Those who have not returned at this point in time will probably never return.
What you gain will lose!
Even for those witch factions that have returned, their ranks have shrunk to varying degrees.
Dark Witch lost 2 people, Death Witch lost 1 person, Winter Witch lost 1 person...... According to the secret statistics, except for the Witch of Destiny, who lost 4 people and some of her vitality was greatly damaged, most of the losses of the rest of the factions were between 1 or 2 people.
But the Witch of Fate is still not the worst loss!
Surprisingly, the hypocritical witch who chose to go to the Ocean Empire almost died cleanly, and only the third-order witch escaped alone. But looking at her appearance, there is not much sadness, and she should have successfully completed the task.
If you pay, you will get something!
In addition to the losses of the witches of each faction, their captures were also rich.
Boxes of exotic treasures, cages of otherworldly monsters, rows of alien slaves, and bulging fanny packs and storage rings......
Although the death of their companion was sad, the remaining witches were trained through dimensional conquest and successfully collected a lot of resources from the otherworld. It has to be said that it is in this way that the major wizarding organizations achieve the survival of the fittest and select the internal elite.
At the same time, it also makes the increasingly rare wizard resources effectively tilted into the hands of the strong.
Of course, the real capture of the major witch factions could never be announced, and they were carefully and cleverly hidden. The only things that can be snooped on by outsiders are those slaves and monsters that can't be hidden.
The Winter Witch, the Pale Witch, the Death Witch, the Pain Witch, and the Fraud Witch chose to attack the human realm, so the slaves and monsters they brought back were also varied, covering almost all the creatures on the Faun Continent.
The Dark Witch and the Destiny Witch went to the Elven Kingdom, so all the harvest was Forest Elves and Natural Monsters of all levels. In particular, those dark witches didn't know what was crazy, and they actually brought back more than four hundred forest elves in one go, and there were old and young among them, and it seemed to be a relatively complete tribe.
Transporting so many elven slaves back to the wizarding world is likely to cost millions of magic crystals for the 'tickets' alone. Such a big deal made all the witches secretly frightened, and they couldn't help but wonder what the other party's reason for doing this was.
In contrast, losing half of the manpower, only to get back the leader Alice from the 1st to the 2nd rank, this seems to be a bit more than worth the loss!, but considering that the Witch of Fate line has just been revived, all hopes are pinned on Alice alone, and it is not surprising that she can make such a choice.
And the capture of the Witches of Fate is not very eye-catching.
Fifty carefully selected elven captives and more than thirty nature-based demonic beasts can only be called improvised. Besides, these Witches of Fate didn't know what to think, and they actually mixed a dozen foul-smelling three-headed snake lizards into the spoils of war.
Although the creature is relatively rare in the wizarding world, the three-headed snake lizard is not unique. As long as you are willing to work hard and search in the Black Forest, you can always catch it. But the Witches of Fate were willing to spend such an expensive 'ticket' to bring these guys with only Tier 1 primary strength back to the wizarding world, as if they were disgusted with too many magic crystals.
But these are the details, and it is the hypocritical witch who escaped alone who really attracts the attention of the witches. She was purely alone, she couldn't see the slightest loot, she couldn't see half of the captive, and the scene was as embarrassing as it was.
Seeing this, several third-order witches who took the lead couldn't help but come up and communicate with her.
It's a pity that no matter how tempting and teasing they are, they can't figure out what the goal of each other's mission is.
Just as the witches gathered in the huge teleportation square on the inner island to discuss, the witch tower standing high in the volcano trembled slightly, projecting a dazzling and intense white light, and then slowly tore out a spatial rift with violent energy surging inside.
The huge witch array hidden under the teleportation square also began to operate, and a mysterious arcane light array composed of pure magical energy slowly emerged, and began to slowly rotate around the torn spatial rift.
Two tall and strange giants suddenly appeared on both sides of the spatial rift, and roared wildly, grabbing the edge of the rift with their hands and stabbing it, pulling it wider and wider. When the spatial rift opened up to a width of thirty meters, the two giants roared, and they instantly turned into two incomparably tall golden doors, firmly stabilizing the dimensional rift.
"Hurry up and get through! The flesh and blood of this creature like the Cloud Giant is now very much searching, this spatial gate can only last for a quarter of an hour, you all move quickly......"
At the urging of the Pale Witch at the head, the team of witches who had counted the number of people in advance and paid the 'tickets' finally began to move forward slowly.
Whether it is a person or a thing, or an otherworldly demonic beast imprisoned in a metal cage, it is instantly absorbed into the plane gate of light and shadow floating, and disappears without a trace.
The cries and shouts of the captives in the ranks grew louder and louder.
Perhaps they have realized that after stepping through this gate of light, what awaits them is no longer the familiar world, familiar people and things. And the former partners and relatives will also be written off from now on, and there will never be a chance to see each other again!
…………
Wizarding World, Werning.
The seat of the Council of Witches.
The strange celestial phenomena caused by the vibrations of the dimensional void have not completely dissipated.
In the huge light door that opened in the teleportation hall, the layers of space rippled uncontrollably, and each time it trembled, a number of strange creatures would spit out from it.
These captives and demonic beasts, who had never experienced interdimensional ultra-long-distance teleportation, were all lying in their cages with dying expressions, obviously bearing the baptism of the laws of the wizarding world's plane. Those guys who were slightly weaker opened their mouths and gasped desperately, and every breath was as difficult as experiencing a life-and-death struggle.
On the contrary, as soon as all the witches and wizards stepped out of the light door, they all looked radiant and shocked.
A soothing and soft aura continued to surge from the surrounding void, just like the warm embrace of the mother, which made the witches and wizards present intoxicated and their souls fluttered.
This is actually a normal phenomenon for wizards after returning from the Otherworld.
After all, the wizarding world is where their soul origins are placed and imprinted. Only here can the strength of their bodies be 100% exerted. In the other world, it is always in a state of repression and rejection.
"Hurry up, hurry up...... Hurry up and transport these captives out to recuperate. These elves are too delicate, and if they don't deal with them quickly, most of them will die here......"
Under a series of shouts and orders from the leading witches, the tall witches who had been waiting around the teleportation hall swarmed in and helped the witches carry the booty and slaves out.
Alice, dressed in a purple star robe, reached out to stop the witches and witch beasts who rushed to her.
"We don't need your help for our loot. Tell your steward, let her hurry up and open the teleportation array, and we will go straight back to the Tower of Destiny!"
The witch was completely dumbfounded.
What the...... Teleport back to the Tower of Destiny?
Is this Alice crazy?
No matter how much loot and slaves she brought back, hiring a caravan to transport back to the Tower of Destiny by land would only be a few thousand magic crystals. But if you pass through the teleportation array, I'm afraid you will need hundreds of thousands of magic crystals at every turn.
While the witches were in a state of confusion, another witch stepped forward.
"Open the teleportation array, I also need to return to the clan land directly......"
The witches looked at it as the only remaining third-order hypocritical witch.
It seems that there is something strange in these two groups of witches, so they are worried about the long nights and dreams, and they want to return to their own land immediately.
For such a request, the Saidaselia family, who were responsible for maintaining Verning, naturally had no reason to refuse.
Soon, after the rest of the witch team withdrew from the teleportation hall, the teleportation circle here also began to slowly operate.
Hitomi ......
As two dull spatial noises came out, the Witch of Destiny and the hypocritical witch disappeared into the teleportation array one after another.
…………
"Hurry, hurry, get this ...... This one...... And carry this out for me!"
Under the command of Sophia and Xuefu, the witch apprentices who had already received the news and waited here swarmed up, either using levitation or driving witch beasts to carry boxes of loot out of the teleportation array.
Only 1/3 of the booty and prisoners they brought back were moved out. The remaining large number of cargo boxes and wooden cages were already placed in the teleportation array, including the cage where a dozen three-headed snakes and scorpions were held.
"Our Witch of Destiny has lost a lot of power this time, and it may take me a while to rearrange the affairs here. I'll leave it all to you......" Alice stood outside the teleportation array and waved at Grim, "Things are tricky on Lance's side, you have to be careful." ”
Immediately, a rising white light enveloped the entire teleportation array.
When the intense white light dissipated, there was nothing inside.
…………
Reims plane, metal fortress.
As a dazzling white light overflowed from the teleportation array, a large number of figures suddenly appeared on the teleportation platform.
Sniffing in the familiar and intimate dimensional breath, the brontosaurus Arms, who was disguised as a three-headed snake lizard by the 'Malicious Transfiguration', roared and broke the illusion on his body, smashed the wooden cage headlong, and began to stretch his muscles and body with a long groan.
In the same way, the rest of the dragons also broke out of their cages, groaning and recovering their bodies.
For a moment, the originally wide and huge teleportation platform was occupied by more than a dozen tall and mighty dragons, but it looked small and low again.
