Chapter 82: Kuira's Legacy (I)
The sharp feet of the giant spider repeatedly hit the ground restlessly, making a dense sound. However, the expensive wooden flooring was not damaged by this impact, and I don't know if it was because of its superior quality and hardness or because of its protective magic. But whatever protects the wooden floor, the rapid sound will make the person who hears it feel the irritation of its originator. And when the person who hears it is also quite irritable, this feeling can become a trigger to ignite the lead.
"That's enough!" said Kirly, standing up from the wall, her hands in the back of her head, her half-black, half-white hair. Just like the color of her hair, the witch's appearance still retains that of Kouira. In fact, this sumptuous palace-like space belongs to Kouira's room. This is the main reason why Kiri returns to Heartbreaker's Bay, hoping to obtain the property left behind by Kuira, a high-ranking senior witch, in disguise.
This method is of course not in accordance with the rules, and as a rule, the property of the deceased members of the witch group, whether temporal or magical, should be put at the disposal of the witch group after a period of suspension. The only people who can get a slight discount are the member's direct blood relatives, and that's only because it's less difficult to inherit magic items between blood relatives. Having said that, kinship in the witch group cannot be publicized, and the only people who have the truth about it are the great witch and another senior witch in charge of the matter, and it is said that there is a book called the Book of Raven Feathers that the senior witch used to record the relationship between the witches.
But at this time, there were only a few people in the entire witch group who knew that this Kuyla was not herself, and apart from the three young witches who were trapped in the black fortress together, only the big witch knew that Kuyla had actually died. And since the latter did not order Qili to remove this layer of disguise, then Qili also regarded this as a kind of acquiescence. Perhaps in the eyes of the Great Witch, this is a reward for Qili's bold attempt.
However, not dismantling the false disguise does not mean that Kiri will be able to take over the legacy of Kouira, the witches are masters of hiding, and just looking at the hideouts they have built shows how proficient they are at integrating magic into architecture. And each of the witches' rooms in the cavern is made by their own hands, and to say that there are no secrets in them is to be fooling themselves. So the dilemma now is how she can find the door to the latter's treasure in Kuira's room, of course, this is just a metaphor, in fact, there is definitely more than one such hiding place, so there is definitely more than one. It's a difficult thing to say, but with enough time to search for every piece of information in the room, it won't be too difficult to get hold of most of the treasure, after all, Kiri is a good witch herself. What really bothered her was the pressure of time.
The veteran witches don't know when they will return. Even witches who are indifferent to each other are still members of a group, whether they fight together, exchange materials or work together to make items, although they inevitably calculate each other, they still have to intersect with others. Kiri knew very well that her disguise was only a disguise, and she had no idea who Kuyla knew and was hostile to in the witch group, or what tone of voice she would use to speak to each of them. So her time is limited, and the botched pretender must reap enough rewards before her disguise is dismantled to make this venture back to Heartbreaker. But now she hadn't found anything of real value other than the mundane clutter on the surface of the room.
"Damn, shit! Damn!" the frenzied witch grabbed the expensive porcelain that lay on the wooden shelf, and smashed it to the ground, completely ignoring the value and history that this beautiful ornament might carry! "Click!" The scattered pieces of porcelain startled the giant spider, who immediately took a few steps back from its massive body, only to hit more furniture and set off a series of catastrophic chain reactions. When the smoke cleared, the white spider, which had been domesticated by webworms, froze in place, completely unsure of what to do with the changes around it.
Seeing such a reaction, Qili rolled over and climbed onto the spider's back, grabbed the fluff from the giant insect, and then unceremoniously plucked it off. "One by one, it's so useless! What do you say you're going to do but spin silk?Ahhhhhhhhh Fortunately, this didn't last long.
The sound of the "Gada" porcelain piece gently falling on the floor stopped Qili's unreasonable trouble, and the witch poked her head out curiously, and then was surprised to see a large number of insects that resembled ants but had obvious traces of artificial transformation appeared on the originally empty floor. These little things are like porters who lift up the debris that has just been spilled on the ground and transport it in the same direction. Qili immediately jumped off the spider, carefully approached the ants, and followed them. Soon, she saw how the little ones appeared, some of which were hidden entrances and exits, mostly behind the furniture or at the bottom of large furniture, and a few of which were hidden directly in the gaps in the walls.
Finger-sized ants carry the porcelain tiles, and when they pile up the debris near the entrance, smaller ants will come out, soften and break up the oversized pieces with special saliva, and break them down into sizes that can be carried in one by one. Kiri patiently observes these strange little creatures, and she finds that they obviously have excellent discernment, and can tell very well which things that have fallen on the ground have been damaged and need to be removed, and which ones have just fallen to the ground and do not need to be cleaned up.
The witch's eyes began to glow with magical energy, and although the former owner of this room, Kuila, was a witch known for cultivating insects, but as far as Kiri knew, Kuila's cultivation direction was mainly based on the combat ability of large insects, and she had not paid much attention to such a miniaturized species. She stretched out her fingers and picked up a carrier ant, examining the entity closely, and then smiled unexpectedly. From this ant, she found a way to find Kuira's treasure.
