"Is that him?"

The long-haired girl leaning on the bed on several layers of pillows is wearing a snow-white shrine maiden costume with a purple underbody, and white stockings. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info she stretched and sat up from the bed.

She's the Great Witch?

Maier was a little surprised, because the girl did not look to be more than twenty years old.

"Exactly."

The long witch bowed deeply to the maiden, then went back and fetched two clay pots, and handed one of them to Mel.

"Please smash it."

Maier knew that she wanted to put on a show in front of the Great Witch. In fact, he was also very curious about this matter, and smashed the clay pot in different ways, but all he got were 167 fragments, and 30 of the fragments were triangular, which was absolutely impossible.

Maier took the pot, raised his hands flat, and let go of the hand holding the pot. The clay pot fell to the ground in free fall and shattered. The long shrine maiden put down the clay pot in her hand and collected the fragments, and the total number of fragments turned out to be 167, and 30 of them were triangular fragments.

No way......

Mel's mouth was wide open, not knowing what to say.

The witch took the broom from the bedroom, swept the pieces aside, and handed another clay pot to Mel. The unbelieving Maier held the pot very low this time, less than a meter from the ground. As a result, the clay pot was smashed to pieces, resulting in 167 fragments, 30 of which were triangular.

"Let him smash a bowl."

The Great Witch got out of bed, put on the little leather boots that lay under the bed, and sat down on the edge of the bed.

The witch brought a clay bowl to Mel, but Mel still didn't need much effort to smash the bowl to pieces. As a result, the bowl still had 167 pieces, 30 of which were triangular.

Even the bowls are like this?!

Now Maier is completely unsettled.

"What the hell is going on? Is this some kind of religious ritual? ”

The Great Witch stared at Maier for a moment, then smiled.

"Am I obligated to tell you?"

"Then please bring me something else, let me fall again, such as a plate or something, I don't believe that I can still break 167 copies of a palm-sized plate!"

"There's no need."

The Great Witch yawned and rubbed her eyes with her fingers.

"It's got to be you."

"Surely it's me?"

"yes, it's got to be you."

The Great Witch pulled the long hair off her shoulders behind her and jumped out of bed.

"Let's go!"

"Let's go? Where to? ”

"Apprenticeship camp."

The Great Witch's words made the Great Witch look stunned. The apprenticeship camp is a place where shrine maidens are trained, and all the apprentice shrine maidens live there. It was a forbidden place for outsiders, and trespassers would be killed on the spot by the war witches who were guarding the camp, and since the construction of the shrine, no outsider has ever entered the training camp alive.

In the shrine, the order of the Great Shrine Maiden is absolute. Although the Witch was full of doubts, she could only follow the instructions of the Great Witch and leave the bedroom with her and Mel.

All shrines have a training camp located near the dormitory of the Great Shrine Maiden, so that the Great Shrine Maiden can keep track of the situation of the Shrine Maiden. For Irajinja Shrine, the cultivation of trainee shrine maidens is a top priority, and all the great shrine maidens devote more than half of their energy to them.

Because the shrine maidens always have to leave, the apprentice shrine maidens will take their place when the time comes. It is no exaggeration to say that the level of apprenticeship shrine maidens determines the future of the shrine, which is why the great shrine maidens attach so much importance to them.

In fact, the Great Witch didn't really plan to take Maier to the apprenticeship camp. She led Maier to a relatively high place where she could clearly see the camp playground. She asked the long witch beside her to send a message to the long witch who was in charge of the apprenticeship camp, and asked her to gather all the apprentice witches.

In just a few minutes, hundreds of girls dressed in black and white witch costumes gathered on the playground. They formed a neat phalanx, waiting for the order of the chief witch.

Black and white shrine maiden costume?!

Maier was horrified when he saw the girls.

Isn't the black and white witch costume an evil witch costume? Why do apprentice shrine maidens dress like this?

"Are you surprised?"

The Great Witch turned around and tilted her head in confusion.

"Why?"

Maiel collected his emotions for a moment, and just as he was about to answer, he remembered what the maiden had said to him when he was in the dormitory. He was tempted to return it to the Great Witch as it was, but his reason told him that if he did, he would definitely anger the Great Witch, and that he would not have any good fruit to eat.

"That...... If I tell you the reason for my surprise, can you answer me a question? ”

"I can't."

The Great Witch turned around and put her hands behind her back.

"I'm not interested in your business, and you don't need to know what I'm doing. You just have to remember one thing - don't tell what you've seen or heard here when you come down the mountain. ”

"If—"

"If you accidentally say it and slip out."

The Great Witch interrupted Myer, turned around, walked up to Myer, stood on tiptoe, grabbed him by the collar with some difficulty, and lifted it symbolically upwards, looking him directly into the eyes with cold eyes.

"Even if I fight everything, I will make you unable to survive, and you can't die."

Although the two of them were in a funny position now, Maier couldn't laugh at all now, because he knew that the Great Witch was serious. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he nodded, and the Great Witch let go of his collar.

After this, the Great Witch asked the Witch to send Maier back to the warehouse, sent him down the mountain, and yawned back to the dormitory. After sending Maiel and his three maidservants away, the long witch returned to the dormitory.

"My lord, the people have been sent away."

The big witch who was lying on the bed leisurely moved her legs, which was a response.

"My lord, are we going to continue to collect and dye pottery?"

"No, I don't accept it. The people have been found, so there is no need to toss you anymore. ”

"My lord, this oracle is really ......"

"Weird, isn't it?"

The Great Witch sat up from the bed and grabbed a pillow and hugged it to her chest.

"Dyed pottery, smashed pottery by merchant chiefs, 167 fragments, 30 of which are triangular, the condition is simply inexplicable. The additional conditions are even more inexplicable, when the number is incorrect, the odd number will survive, and the even number will be killed. The orders that need to be carried out are even stranger, why let an outsider see the Xi witch? Does this make any sense? ”

"My lord, so far, except for the person just now, there has not been a single merchant who has smashed out the singular." The Elder Witch said with a complicated expression, "My lord, is it really okay for us to kill so many merchants?" ”

"Since that's what the oracle says, that's all we can do."

The Great Witch buried her face in the pillow and rubbed it vigorously a few times, then lifted her face up and let out a long sigh.

"I asked how to solve the problem of the evil witch, but I got such an oracle, and the mind of the great god of enlightenment is really incomprehensible."

"My lord, how can mortals guess the minds of gods? If so, mortals are not mortals. ”

"Yes, yes, I understand everything."

The great witch lay back on the bed with a pillow in her arms, turned over, and changed to a side-lying position.

"But it's so uncomfortable to feel trapped in a puzzle."

Meanwhile, Mair is being escorted down the mountain by the War Witch who escorted them when she came. Meier, who was sitting in the carriage with Xiaoye and Xiaobird, stared depressedly at the money bag placed in the corner and didn't say a word.

The Witch didn't take the money bag back, which means that Maier didn't go up the mountain in vain this time. He sold 300 dyed clay pots and 50 dyed clay bowls, making 16 kan ira, which is 48 kan when converted to taiyong money, enough to buy him the best freight wagon.

But he was very unhappy now.

He wasn't happy because he was threatened by the Great Witch, but for something else. Coincidentally, the reason why Maier and the Great Witch are unhappy is exactly the same: there are too many things that can't be figured out.

Why do I get 167 pieces out of my pottery every time I drop it? And there must be 30 of them that are triangles? Why was he taken to see the Great Witch after falling out of this way? Why did the Great Witch take herself to see the Xi Witch? Is the Satomi Shrine's purchase of dyed pottery some kind of conspiracy?

He thought desperately, trying to solve the puzzle. But these puzzles are like locks that are so strong that Mel can't solve them without a key.

Back at the Grand Bazaar, Mel and the others were sent back to the warehouse, just as it was already getting dark. He Yan Zhiheng, who had been waiting for Mel and them to come back, saw Myer's carriage and immediately ran towards them.

"Little brother! You're back! ”

Before he could get any far, a warrior witch drew her sword and stopped him with her blade. He Yan Zhiheng was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground with a pop.

Maier heard the voice of the Harmony and stood up from the carriage. He saw He Yan Zhiheng kneeling in front of the sword of the war witch, thinking that the war witch was going to kill him, so he hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and ran over to explain to the war witch.

"This is my friend! Please don't hurt him! ”

The war witch listened to Myer's words, and put the knife into the sheath with an expressionless face, but she was very aggrieved in her heart. She just dutifully stopped suspicious people out of the safe range, how could she become a wicked person who wanted to hurt people casually?

"Multi-...... Thank you, little brother...... You've saved my life again. ”

He Yan Zhiheng also looked like he was going to live for the rest of his life, which made the war witches feel even more uncomfortable. After sending Maier and his party back to the warehouse on the orders of the chief witch, the war witches turned around without saying a word and walked in the direction of the Supervisor.

The inn where he stayed was near the store, but Maier didn't plan to rest there. He also had a money bag in his car, and he didn't worry about putting the money bag in the car, and he couldn't swagger to carry the money bag into the hotel, because it was easy to be targeted by the bad guys, so staying in the hotel became a very dangerous choice.

"Then let's set off now and go back to Liangyue City!"

After learning about Maier's difficulties, he didn't dare to stay in the big bazaar for long, and he didn't even think about making such a decision. Seeing that he was determined to leave, Mel could only agree to his request. After gathering the team with Yan Zhiheng, Mel and the others left the bazaar.
