Dissuaded by Peg, Claire gave up most of what she was in her arms with a reluctant expression. At first, the Kraken was worried that the witches, especially Claire, who didn't seem to be very good at fighting, would not know how to deal with their wounds, but he soon found himself worried. Claire handled Sach's right eye much better and more skillfully than most people who claimed to be doctors, and she did not show fear and embarrassment when she saw the blood, pus, nerve tissue, and muscles that filled the wound like normal people, and the instrument in her hand did not tremble unsuperneously, accurately removing the excess from the wound, and using ointment made of herbs to suppress further damage.

"Claire isn't very good at tapping into her potential, but as a heartless witch, she's trained enough. That's why Karen was relieved to let her treat the child, whether it's a corpse or a living thing, we've been used to dismembering them with knives for many years. You don't have to worry about that. As if sensing Fioni's concerns, Peg explained beside the Kraken. The mountain monster standing on the side didn't say anything from beginning to end, I don't know if it was because he had long known the skills of witches or was not good at expressing themselves.

"By the way, Claire, did the witch group do anything? I didn't see a few people in the corridor just now, and they are all our age, where did the senior elders go?" Although the latter has never been known to be well-informed, it is better than her, who has just returned from the distant Grey Lion. Sure enough, after hearing Peg's question, Claire reacted.

"I thought the Great Witch had already told you, after all, you had been summoned for so long as you returned. I don't know exactly what it is, but since the first two days, the witch group has been preparing after detecting the signal that the Cursed Lady is approaching. Before you returned, many of the veteran witches had already set off in groups and didn't know where to go. That's all I know, because you see I've been preparing to summon Shadow Beasts up until now. Claire replied as she tended to her wounds.

Peg nodded, Claire's answer had revealed more information than she had imagined. The most important of these is that even witches like Claire are aware of the approach of the Cursed Lady, in other words, it is likely that the witch group has known about their movements for a long time. But in that case, why didn't anyone come to answer them? You must know that the recall order was issued by the Great Witch herself, and she didn't want to let her compatriots who had finally rushed back die in the tsunami, right? But even if this question was asked to Claire, it was useless, but Peg keenly felt that there must be something in this incident that the Great Witch had not made clear to her before, and then she would look for it from other ways.

"Speaking of which, why did you summon a shadow beast? that thing can't be used as an assistant or as a pet, you don't want it to help you catch mice, do you?" asked Peg casually. Witches often act on a whim, which is not exclusive to Kiri, almost all witches act out of interest, and few have a serious mind and rigorous plan like Kareen. So Peg didn't think much about it when she asked, and Claire also said that there was a mistake in the improvement of the summoning circle when she asked her for help before, maybe she just wanted to experiment with her own improvements, but it might have failed.

However, this casual question made Claire's hand shake, and it almost stuck in Saich's head. She was silent for a few seconds before she answered, "I, I just want to find something to do for myself." Plus I've never summoned a shadow beast before, so I wanted to give it a try. As a result, there was a problem with the summoning circle, although the summoning was successfully completed, but it was not connected to the control and communication circle that should be activated, and the shadow beast's movements were very fast, and I didn't have time to repair the circle before it escaped. ”

Peg didn't notice anything wrong, and she interpreted Claire's timidity as fear of the consequences of her mistakes. Therefore, she did not continue to ask Claire about her motive for summoning the Shadow Beast, and instead mentioned the current situation, "Although the Shadow Beast is not as powerful as the Wizard's Shadow, it is also quite troublesome. I think you'd better catch it before it causes a bigger problem. Now that the circle you summoned it is working properly, you can connect it directly to the circle you are driving away, which is the fastest way to do it. ”

"But even then, we need to get that monster back first. If it's deliberately avoiding me, I can't force it back. Claire replied with a slight sigh of relief. Indeed, as with Demon Summoning, the control of summons is primarily the responsibility of the control circle, and since the Shadow Beast is free from Claire's influence after being summoned, even witches cannot force an effective response. Even if she could achieve this effect by modifying the circle, the time required would be considerable.

"Well—" Peg thought for a moment, and then saw the wounds on Fioni's back that had been scratched by the Shadow Beast, those wounds were no longer bleeding under the influence of the Kraken's powerful self-healing power, but it would take a long time before they were completely healed, "Then we need the help of this Siren." I can cast a spell on the wound on your back, allowing you to reverse the path to the Shadow Beast that has injured you. This is the most basic method used to find enemies, and this spell has a distance limit. But the Shadow Beast couldn't escape the cavern, it couldn't run far. ”

"Really, that's great!" Claire agreed, hearing that Peg was willing to help her retrieve the Shadow Beast. And Fioni, thinking of that terrible monster, did not hesitate to agree to Peg's request. Everyone wants to see that hoodoo get disposed of sooner rather than later.

"Alright, lend me your ashram to cast spells, and we'll start and end sooner. Peg said as he walked over to Claire's storage shelf, expertly finding what he needed to cast spells from above. The latter had no opinion, and after informing Peg of the secret words of entering the ashram, she continued to deal with Sach's injuries. The nerves in the eye are so complex that even witches who are well-versed in the anatomy of the human body can take a long time to deal with them.

Fioni followed the long-haired green witch into the so-called ashram. This is a room in each of the witches' personal space, usually used for meditation and undisturbed work. Unlike the cluttered environment outside, Claire's ashram was surprisingly clean and simple, and it was evident that the witch didn't use it often, although she insisted on cleaning.

The "squeak" wood-clad door was closed by Peg. The little witch carefully locked the six locks on the door one by one in a certain order, and after this process, ordinary snooping magic could no longer see the situation in this room. People who meditate and work seriously are very vulnerable, and such protection is very necessary.

"Okay, that should be fine. Peg checked the other magic patterns in the room and nodded. Then, she sat down in front of Fioni, stared into the eyes of the Kraken, and said with great seriousness, "Can I trust you, Fioni the Transfigurer?"
