Chapter 133: The Secret Recipe of the Witch of the Woods
Since the city of Two Moons has been busy celebrating the completion of the Holy Court Command Tower in recent days, the guards in the city have been much stricter than usual these days, and the streets are full of patrolling guards. Some idle vagrants of unknown origin were also ordered to prohibit them from entering the city.
And the forest witches, who have always lived in no fixed place, are naturally on the list of these "idle wanderers".
Charlene now lives in a group of forest witches. However, this ban has no effect on Charlene.
After all, Charlene is now a wanted fugitive in the city, and she would not have entered the crowded main city, but the Lin witches who stayed with Charlene were much more anxious than Charlene.
Not being able to find a chance to get into Double Moon City meant that the forest witches couldn't cheat out enough money and food to feed such a large group of people, so everyone seemed a little uneasy now, after all, the weather had begun to get cooler, and it would soon be winter. When the time comes, life will only get harder for them.
And the negative impact of this ban on the forest witches is not only that, but there are also worse things. That is, another group of Polin witches who had been in the city of Two Moons had also been driven out to the outskirts, and they were stationed not far from Charlene.
The suburbs are sparsely populated and the environment is harsh, and it is not easy for the forest witches to get food. Now that another group of forest witches suddenly came, it would only make Charlene's life even more difficult now, and it was no wonder that the faces of the forest witches were not very good-looking.
Not only that, but the new Polin Witches are more numerous than Charlene, and they are also more adept at using tricks. They coaxed the villagers into a daze, and spread rumors about them. As a result, the villagers' impression of Charlene and her group became as bad as they were, and they refused to bring out food again.
Charlene, the leader of the Polin Witches, Lasana, has not thought of a way, she has sent a lot of people to negotiate and mediate with another group of people, but she has been at a disadvantage, not to mention, she was beaten out with injuries, and their situation is getting worse and worse.
But helplessly, there are few Lin witches in Lhasana, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, even if there are a few boys, they are still too young, and they really don't have any combat power, which makes them always in a position of being bullied even in the group of Lin witches.
Charlene didn't really care about those things. After all, the grievances between the Lin witches had nothing to do with her.
After Charlene came out of the pain of her parents' deaths, she began to plan for her next actions wholeheartedly.
Charlene had already guessed that this time her family was destroyed, and the prince of the Highlands was making trouble. Because of their personal grudge with their brother Xia Zuo, they colluded with the second prince Lan'er to create all the evil that happened on that stormy night. What Charlene hates most in her heart now is Bai Lun and Bai Li, two despicable and shameless villains!
But Charlene also knew in her heart that blind hatred could not change anything, and only by making herself strong first could she wash away the stigma carried by the family and slash the enemy!
Thinking of this, Charlene, who was alone in the corner, listening to Lassana's unwilling sigh, put down the broken book she was flipping through in her hand, and began to secretly scan the forest witches who were now gathered near the dilapidated house.
Due to the defeat in the process of grabbing the territory with another group of forest witches, the atmosphere at the scene is now very depressing, and Lassana is even more lamenting there, like a resentful woman, making the whole group look very depressed.
Charlene couldn't help but frown.
The fact that Lassana behaved like the leader of a group only made the others more flustered and disheartened. This is not what a leader should be!
But Rasana didn't understand this, she was already an old woman in her sixtieth year, and she had no culture, and she didn't know how to appease the army except to express concern and pity for the members who had been beaten back.
Charlene couldn't help but reassess the level of this group in her heart.
There are three old wives over the age of 60, five Lin witches between the ages of 40 and 60, and there are only seven people between the ages of 20 and 40 who should be the main members of the Lin witch group, and these seven people have not left because they have children or have a cowardly personality. The rest are young children and people with disabilities who can't survive on their own.
It can be seen from this that the structure of this forest witch group is unscientific, and it can really act as the main force, and the forest witches who are in the prime of life either flee or join other forest witch groups. This is why in the end, only such a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled remained.
This may be the reason why Lassana decided to accept Charlene as one of them, despite the holiday: because there are really no young adults in the group who can come to work!
After a little calculation in her heart, Charlene found that in addition to herself, there are only twelve or thirteen forest witches and five or six half-old boys who can really act as laborers now, and if they have a conflict with another group of people, they really can't take advantage of it!
Of course, this must have happened if Charlene wasn't a mage. And Charlene has always hidden from others that she is a mage.
Xia Lin has been looking at the tattered book she just held in her hand for the past few days, which records the recipes for the black, so-called witch medicines and poisons that are commonly used by the witches of Lin to abduct and deceive and cure diseases and save people.
When Charlene was still in Two Moon City, she had always been very interested in witches' prescriptions, so she usually studied and learned a lot of recipes, plus she also had a lot of exchanges with Lulu, a real witch, so Charlene can be regarded as half an expert in this area.
At first, when Charlene got the book, she was also very disdainful. Because everyone knows that Witch Lin is doing tricks and abductions, and most of these witches and poisons are fake. Moreover, several pages of this book are already yellow, and the other pages have a serious color difference, and they don't feel the same to the touch. One can imagine how long this broken book has been circulating. So Charlene just had the attitude of looking at the jokes at first, and looked at this treasure book that has been "passed down for a long time" in this forest witch group.
As a result, when she looked at Charlene, she was surprised to find that although most of the formulas of these witch potions and poisons were fake, she didn't expect that a small part of the ingredients was really reasonable, even more exquisite than the prescriptions of doctors on the market.
And it also records a lot of recipes for forbidden drugs such as ecstasy and dementors that Charlene is most interested in, so Charlene can't help but want to try it.
