Chapter 166: The Witch
Indeed, as Mia said.
When near the central area of a stagnant swamp.
The strange trees are no longer dense, and the planks used for walking have come to an end.
A large marshy lake occupies the middle area.
There are still plenty of hidden lakes that are impossible to swim in.
In the center of the swampy lake, there is a dark Gothic-style building, which is the [Witch Academy], where the witch apprentices report to work.
In addition to reporting.
There is a public lecture in the academy once a week, which all apprentices must attend.
Led by Mia, make a detour to a place that resembles a swamp dock.
A small wooden boat soaked in water, covered with moss, and full of frogs bouncing on it, docked here.
Not to mention the two of them sitting on it, Han Dong even felt that if he pushed the wooden boat out alone, it wouldn't take long to sink.
"Can I sit on this boat?"
"Just give a tip."
Mia pulled two copper coins out of her pocket and gently placed them on the bow of the boat.
I saw wet aquatic plants and vines overflowing from the water.
Stick to the hull of the boat and slowly build a medium-sized swamp fisherman...... The appearance of the fisherman also blocked the hole in the hull.
"Get on board."
Under the light of the dark moon.
Accompanied by swamp fishermen and witch apprentices, a boat ride through a secluded swamp lake is truly a special experience.
The lake is so huge that at the current rowing speed of the Witch Academy, it takes at least 20 minutes.
"Eat?"
Mia pulls out a snack bag from her waist filled with exotic dried octopus, bat jerky, snake strips, and dried jellyfish skin.
"No need ......"
When Han Dong smelled this strange smell, he actually had a slight intestinal peristalsis reaction.
"I don't usually share high-end food like this with others...... Then I'll eat it myself. ”
Mia eats with relish alone, licking her fingers from time to time.
"That's right! You should be participating in the [Knight Training] Qualifier in three days, right? Mia, who still had a curly octopus whisker hanging from the corner of her mouth, suddenly looked up and asked.
"Hmmm......"
"Great! I've signed up too, so let's make an appointment to go over together...... We should be the only two of us in this class of freshmen to participate and take care of each other. ”
"Let's talk about it."
…………
When the wooden boat gradually approached the center, Han Dong discovered that this dark Gothic-style [Witch School] was built on a small island with shallow water.
"Come with me...... Ms. Kailongya should receive guests in the living room or office. ”
Led by Mia, enter the eerie academy area.
However, after some searching, the school area was empty.
"Strange? What about people? ”
"Where does Witch Kailonya live?" Han Dong asked.
"The top floor of the Witch School is the teacher's private residence...... However, the teacher generally does not bring guests up. Unless...... The teacher did not meet ordinary guests.
Could it be that it is the [Great Plague Chief] who is receiving you today! ”
The relationship between the Great Plague and the witches is well known to this group of witch apprentices living in the swamp...... Thinking of this, Mia was a little excited.
"Hmm...... Take me up, I'll just wait at the door. ”
"Okay."
Go up the spiral staircase.
The closer you get to the top, the more you can smell a foul smell of soaking fish eyes.
When I came to the door of the [Witch's House], I was unexpectedly ...... The door with the skull pendant actually opened a crack.
The wrinkled human head hanging on the door suddenly let out a hoarse sound, "Mia...... What are you doing here? Who is this person?! ”
"Teacher! He is a disciple of Mr. Black and White and has come to you with a letter! ”
"Looking for me? I'm busy today...... It is inconvenient to meet people. ”
Han Dong immediately answered: "Hello, Teacher Kailongya! I'm here to find the Plague Chief...... You guys get busy first, I'll just wait outside. ”
Regarding Han Dong's answer, the wrinkled human head hanging on the door did not respond for the time being.
After a while, the wooden door slowly opened...... Motioned for the two to enter the house.
"Let's go...... The teacher allowed us to go in. ”
Mia led Han Dong into the witch's house.
A giant animal fur is used as a carpet, and various specimens of insects, fish, and amphibians hang on the wall.
In addition, on the exhibition stand in the hall, there are all kinds of glass bottle soaking samples, eyeballs, whips, wings of various animals, and some strange aquatic eggs.
That's when it happened.
The Great Plague Chief-Mograini walked out of the inner bedroom while belting his pants.
Follow.
First, a wisp of black gas resembling a liquid spilled from the room.
The [witch] in charge of the teaching of the backwater swamp and witches-Kaironya. Mason, slowly walked out.
This deputy director of the mysterious department, second only to Mr. Black and White, was completely different from the rickety old witch with a huge hooked nose that Han Dong had envisioned in his mind.
Long skirts woven with multiple layers of black yarn,
A perfect body with charm and curves,
Applied with a thicker purple-black eyeshadow,
Hanging two skull earrings encrusted with gemstones,
There is no shortage of lip studs, tongue studs, and nose studs.
Beautiful and enchanting, mysterious and eccentric, this is the ruler of the backwater swamp.
"It turned out to be your ......"
The Great Plague recognized the disciple of Mr. Black and White at once.
Last time, it was all up to Han Dong to help decipher the treasure map of the Dragonbone Wasteland, and the [Plague Knights] obtained an important treasure from it to improve the overall level of the team.
The prejudice of the Great Plague Chief's 'supernatural ability' against Han Dong has also been reduced by half.
As soon as they met, Han Dong immediately handed over the letter of recommendation.
Who knows, the Great Plague Chief didn't look at it at all, and made it to the leather couch next to the fireplace.
"There's no need for this kind of referral letter...... Go ahead! Find me something, if it's related, I can teach you a little bit of practical skills.
Since you are a disciple of black and white, you can be regarded as half a student of my junior. ”
Just when Han Dong smiled and was about to ask a question.
With a wave of her hand, the witch placed four strange purple cups of tea on the table, motioning for everyone to sit down and chat slowly.
"Thank you, Mr. Kaironya."
Han Dong deliberately found a place facing the Great Plague Chief and sat down.
Who knows.
The witch sat directly on the long legs of the Great Plague and leaned sideways on her solid chest...... I don't care about the eyes of these juniors at all.
Such an intimate act also made Mia on the side blush slightly, and she picked up the teacup and tried to avoid her gaze.
"Just ask."
"Yes...... I'm here to ask about another destiny profession and minor. ”
"Huh?"
Han Dong's question immediately attracted the witch's attention.
Mia, who was holding a teacup, stared at this fellow student even more blankly.
