Chapter 368: Showdown
Seeing that the girl showed a gritted tooth expression, Charlene smiled: "Your idea is not bad, but unfortunately, there are still many things in this world that do not go as people want." And it seems to me that your power has not yet reached the point where you can stay out of it, do you?
"You ......," the girl's childish teeth itched, and she didn't know what to answer for a moment.
Charlene didn't pay attention to the girl's anger, but turned her head to the old man and the old lady and said, "Young people can't see the current situation clearly, but you should know very well in your hearts, what does the current situation mean to the Misty Forest? Not to mention that you've already been caught up in the war, so I don't think there's any need to pretend anymore, right?"
The old men and ladies at the head did not speak, obviously thinking otherwise.
Charlene was actually right. Since the outbreak of the war between the Highlands and the Skyglow, the first to be affected is the Misty Forest.
On the night when the first surprise attack was launched on the highlands, the artillery burst into the sky, resounding through the sky, blowing up the plains, and naturally many of them entered the misty forest. These fire bombs destroyed the formation enchantment that the forest witches in the misty forest had carefully arranged for hundreds of years, not to mention, and several clansmen were also injured because they were affected, which can be said to have caused a lot of trouble to the witches in the forest.
As for the second confrontation between the Highlands and the Land of Radiance, not to mention, the two sides couldn't take care of other things at all, stray bullet spells and shrapnel wreckage were flying all over the sky, of course, there were many scattered into the Misty Forest, which directly caused great damage and impact on the ecology of the Misty Forest, and the Misty Forest was actually unbearable.
Lin Witches actually knew quite well in their hearts, even if they wanted to protect themselves, but before the war between the Highlands and the Celestial Radiant Country ended, they could only be forced to get involved in this dispute, but now the situation between the Highlands and the Celestial Radiant Country has reached a stalemate, and no one side can completely defeat the opponent, it can only be said that the current situation will continue for a while, and this is quite fatal to the witches of the Misty Forest.
For hundreds of years, the existence of the Misty Forest has been quite special.
Accompanied by rumors and legends that are both true and false, the Misty Forest is mysterious and unattainable in the eyes of the people. There are many secrets hidden in it, as well as those histories and memories that have long been forgotten.
But what good do these do to the witches of the forest?
After hundreds of years of precipitation, they no longer have the memories of their ancestors, and the heyday of wizards is very far away for them. Those glorious histories had nothing to do with them, so the fame of the Misty Forest did nothing to their own abilities beyond symbolism. Their vision is just to simply live their own lives.
Because the forest witches have been living in the misty forest for too long, they have long been accustomed to the comfort of the world, except for the occasional departure from the forest to visit the neighboring towns, they have not been exposed to the sinister outside world at all, so once the paradise here is destroyed, where will the forest witches go?
To this day, the war between the Highlands and the Glowing Realm shows no signs of end, and every encounter between the two sides is inflicting sustained and irreparable damage on the Misty Forest. If the war continues like this, the Misty Forest will soon be destroyed! Therefore, the elders in the forest were already anxious, but they did not tell the juniors about it for fear of causing panic.
But how easy is it to change the status quo? The elders knew very well in their hearts that although the Misty Forest was famous, its strength was far from reaching the level where it could change the situation, and it was quite reluctant to be able to do it alone before, let alone now, it couldn't even do it alone...... Therefore, for the truth that Charlene said, the faces of several old people instantly became not very good-looking, and those juniors who did not know the truth were even more angry, obviously not having a clear understanding of the situation they were currently facing.
"So the purpose of sneaking into the Misty Forest in disguise as a forest witch is to persuade us to join forces with the Celestial Radiant Country, and then deal with the highlands together?" the old man finally spoke again.
"No, negotiating with you as a representative of Tianying is only a small part of what I came here for. Didn't I already say it just now?We're our family!, so ......," said Charlene, with a mysterious smile on her face: "I think you should have guessed that I came here for the secret of Hua Wu, which has been hidden by history for more than 600 years......"
"What? bold! You don't even weigh your own weight, you even ...... Hua Wu" Hearing Charlene's words, the girl who was not very good-tempered suddenly became anxious.
"Doro, you're presumptuous!, don't stop talking yet!" the old man unexpectedly interrupted the girl's words, and the girl had to stop her mouth with an aggrieved expression.
It was only then that Charlene learned that the girl's name was Doro.
The other slightly older people present had different expressions at this time, obviously knowing something.
Seeing that other people had this kind of reaction, Charlene felt a lot more relaxed, because the fact that the Lin witches would have such a reaction just meant that Charlene's initial guess was not wrong!
So Charlene spoke: "As we all know, since the death of Hua Wu, the representative figure of wizards six hundred years ago, the prosperous era of wizards has come to an end, and they have begun to enter a chaotic and gloomy era. By now, the popularity of wizards has completely decayed, and most of the existing schools derived from wizards are not in the stream. I don't think Hua Wu would have dreamed that six hundred years later, among the descendants who inherited her mantle and handed down her mantle, the most famous would be the Lin Witch who everyone spurned, right?"
"We're not like you guys of unknown origin, don't put gold on your face!" Doro muttered quietly, obviously not convinced by Charlene's flirtatious attitude, but she didn't dare to speak out loud because of the elders' accusations.
Charlene wasn't annoyed, just smiled and said, "Yes, you're right. We are really just poor people who are homeless and wandering around, so we have to get together to keep each other warm. Unlike you, you are the so-called 'descendants', who pretend to be high. But so what? Nowadays, except around the Misty Forest, wherever the word Wood Witch is mentioned on the continent, people think of us poor people, not you. This means that we are the most typical witch orthodoxy in the eyes of people, not the pretentious you!"
