However, what everyone didn't expect was that Sawyer and the others had just entered the city, and before they could report to the Guardian Association, they were stopped by a group of city guards.

"Is it because the strength has improved too quickly, and it has finally been noticed by the city's higher-ups?"

Sawyer was secretly vigilant in his heart, and the energy in his whole body was restrained to the extreme, as long as the situation was not right, he would leave Blue City immediately.

As for Gregory, the protagonist of this world...... For the sake of saving him so many times, with Gregory's character, he won't turn against himself, right?

It's just that the next change made Sawyer's heart half cold.

The City Watch guards, who had stopped everyone, made way for a passageway, and a woman in an indigo robe walked out, she looked like she was not even thirty years old, but her sky-blue eyes were full of vicissitudes, and no one would despise her because of her youth, because the crown on her head already stated her identity.

"I am the King of Sapphires, Rowena."

A simple self-introduction, but Sawa and the others couldn't help but hold their breath, even Sawa gave up the plan to escape, in front of such a strong man, he would never be able to escape, and even he couldn't even get out of the city gate, even if he had just entered the city, it was less than ten meters away from the gate of the Blue City.

As if sensing the change in Sawyer's mentality, Rowena glanced at Sawyer with deep meaning, but did not say anything, but nodded to Gregory: "Come with me, the witch wants to meet you...... Guys. ”

Looking at the other three people who were close to Gregory, Rowena temporarily changed his words, but did not give everyone a chance to ask, but turned around and walked towards the most central area of Sapphire Ring City.

"Let's go."

Gregory shrugged his shoulders and quipped, "Maybe the witches of the Blue City saw our heroic performance and rewarded us personally!" ”

However, no one laughed out.

The four of them were surrounded by dozens of City Watch guards, and walked towards the center of the city after Rowena, the Sapphire King, along the way, those guards were like lifeless puppets, without the slightest movement, even the walking posture was the same, and the footsteps like the beat of drums brought great pressure to everyone, even if Gregory had the intention to joke, no one could laugh out loud in this environment.

Sawyer was not affected by this kind of battle, after all, in this life, he also served as the commander of the Northern Expedition of Xueman, and there was a more elite demon army under his command, but what really made him feel pressure was the woman who walked in the front, and what she called the "witch".

The Sapphire King Rowena, one of the five most powerful people in the Gray Mist Age, is also the wisest of the four kings, or the most scheming, if she is allowed to lay out, she can even make the Golden Emperor suffer a loss, and it is rumored that she will be the successor of the witch, and after this generation of witches return to the fire, she will become the next generation of witches.

As for witches, he had developed a keen interest in witches since he heard Gregory say that the witches of the Blue City had predicted the time of the next Black Tide.

So when he returned to the city to repair, Sawyer looked up a lot of materials in the large library of the Guardian Society, but the conclusions he sorted out made him even more surprised, and he became more interested in the existence of witches.

First of all, Gregory's so-called "Witches of the Blue City" is wrong, there is only one witch, but they exist in the seven rings of the Gray Mist Age at the same time, guiding the rulers of the major rings to better survive in the Gray Mist Age.

Each of the witches in the ring has a relatively independent personality, but they are essentially a human being, and when any witch in the ring gets some kind of news, the other witches in the ring will also learn about it at the same time.

If that's all there is, Sawyer might wonder if there is any special way of communication between the seven witches, after all, there are many suspicions, such as the witches never going out of the tower, and the witches always cover their eyes with their foreheads, so they can't tell if the seven witches are really the same.

What really made Sawyer come to this conclusion was another word, "return to fire".

After a certain period of existence, each generation of witches will notify the ruler of the ring city that she is going to die, and her successor will appear, after which the witches located in the central tower will walk into the flames on the top floor of the tower, and the other six witches will also come to the top of their respective towers to spontaneously combust, and finally turn into a handful of embers glowing red.

After that, the next generation of witches will come out of the flames on the top of the central ring tower, with the memories of the previous generation of witches, continue to act as a guide, when the new generation of witches in the central ring city comes, they will re-divide into six incarnations, through the flames on the top of the tower, to reach the other six towers around the city.

Of course, witches also had an identity before they came, but when a witch becomes a witch, this identity will be erased, and people who originally knew witches will only remember "Oh, there is a person we know who became a witch", but no one can say who the witch was before she became a witch.

Whether it is the "return to the fire" of the previous generation of witches or the arrival of a new generation of witches, all of this is clearly documented, which is what makes Sawyer believe that the seven witches are actually one person.

In addition, there are many things about the witch that interest Sawyer, for example, it is said that the witch is actually immortal, and the return to fire is only a ritual to achieve a certain purpose, or for example, the witch has the ability to "persuade", in fact, including one emperor and four kings, all of them are puppets controlled by witches.

The evidence of these views is an incident more than two hundred years ago, when in a large ring city without a king, a lord wanted to kill the witch for some reason, after the lord entered the tower, there was a strong energy reaction in the tower, but after half an hour, the lord silently walked out of the tower, under the eyes of the witch, all the way to the tower in the center of the city, and never came out after entering the tower.

In the Central Ring, the Emperor is discussing with the witches how to deal with the next black tide, proving that the witches have not differentiated into new incarnations.

As for what happened in the tower, and why the lord never came out after entering the central tower, all of this, except for the witch and the lord, even the Golden Emperor did not know, which made all kinds of rumors about witches spread.

Sawyer also has a lot of questions about witches, such as what kind of existence is a witch? What is the real purpose of witches? But because his authority is too low, he can't find answers to these questions, and perhaps, when he actually meets the witch, he will let him get his own answers.
