Chapter 146: Inside and Out
In fact, not only this underground vault, but also two similar cultivation centers in Heartless Bay, which are used to cultivate the Sea King eggs obtained from the Kraken of the Burning Tao Clan. These huge embryos from the depths of the sea are slowly hatching under the influence of witch magic, which is logically impossible, because without the ocean, the sea king eggs should have been asleep, but the witches used their magic to activate them, and replaced the sea material required by the sea king eggs with food to feed their growth. This development was beyond the expectations of the Krakens, who did not expect that they would actually be able to hatch the Neptune eggs when they gave them to the witches. However, forcibly hatching Neptune eggs did not come without a price.
"It's eating more, and every time it eats, it needs more food to be satisfied. At this rate, it won't be long before the amount of food eaten by those things will be equal to the total amount of food consumed in a day in the town, nay, even more. Now that the situation in the Misty Sea is severe, there is not much food in the Bay of Lost Heart, and I am worried that this will not affect the Great Witch's plans. Hela walked down the richly decorated hallway and said to another witch beside her.
"It's a similar story with this one on my side, and I've observed something even worse, the inside of that egg is showing signs of deformity. It may be that something went wrong with the catalytic spell that affected Aquaman's development, or worse, what we spawned with the spell may be completely different from the original structure of Aquaman. The witch, who was about the same age as Hela, was the person in charge of another Neptune egg, and she and Hela were now on their way to report their findings to the senior witch in charge of the matter.
Two worried young witches stopped as they walked around the corner, as a figure familiar to them happened to pass by the intersection. The witch beside Hela immediately bowed down and greeted in a very humble tone, "Good afternoon, Lady Coola." Hela did the same after a moment's pause, but instead of looking at the tips of her shoes, she raised her head slightly and looked at the half-black, half-white witch with a puzzled look. The latter frowned slightly at the hearing their greetings, waved his hand casually, and continued to leave in the direction he had been heading. The Grave Girl could hear the breath of her companion beside her, and Kouira's violent temper was known throughout the Witch Order.
"Hearing that Ms. Coyla has locked herself in her room since she returned, and that she has even used the soup pot less often, many people have speculated whether she got something from the traitor's hands. But that said, let's not say we don't have the right to know, I'm afraid that Ms. Eaton is the only one who is a senior witch and has the right to ask this question. The witch shrugged her shoulders as she spoke, intending to move on. The social interaction of the witch group is like this, although the number is small, but most of the witches with age differences do not have much intersection with each other, unless the older witch is the "godmother" of the younger witch, that is, the relationship between Glenn and Fitis. The truth is that not every veteran witch will be a godmother, and even if they do, they often only treat the young witch as their own servant, similar to the relationship between a knight and his servant, and few witches will really care for their offspring as their own offspring.
"You go over first, I have some things to take care of, please speak to Ms. Eaton first. With that, Hela left her companion behind and ran in the direction Kouira had left.
It's not hard to catch up with Kuira, and the structure of the Witch's Cave is fairly simple if you don't take into account the forks and rooms created by magic. "Wait a minute!" Hela shouted into the strange, familiar back. Kouira stopped and glanced at the Gravemaiden, the eyes of which were the reason Hela had caught up immediately. She could see that this Kuira's left eye shone with a light that would enchant ordinary people, and her right eye was like a sharp blade.
Kuyla walked towards the right side of the wall, and disappeared like smoke through the tapestry. Hela bit her lip and pulled a rose from her bosom, gently biting down on a petal and holding it in her mouth, then slammed it into the wall where Koula had disappeared. As a result, the two witches who had just been in the passage all disappeared and appeared in the hidden room behind the tapestry. These rooms weren't originally here, they were set up to provide a space for the witches to communicate privately, and the witches in the base could enter from a variety of places. Conversations in these rooms cannot be spied on by anyone, as the barrier spells on the walls of these rooms were written by the Grand Witch herself. As for the witches who can't even be trusted by the big witches, they naturally don't talk to other people casually, and they don't use these facilities.
"What's the matter?" asked Kouira, who was in the room, in a cold tone. The coldness and strangeness in this tone made the Grave Girl's heart tremble, and a bad premonition arose. Hela spat out the withered rose petals in her mouth, and took advantage of this time to quickly think about what tone and words to use to greet the person in front of her. Hela was very suspicious of who the person in front of her was, judging by the light in her left eye, this person should be Qili, but with Qili's character, she would never be able to speak to herself in such an indifferent tone, that is not the style of the number one troublesome person among young witches.
"Ma'am, I appreciate your willingness to donate your property as a breeding ground for Neptune eggs. Hela watched the expressions of the people in front of her very carefully as she said this. Because Kiri was not actually informed of the disposition of the property, but before her disappearance, she told the other three witches that they could use the property in Kuira's name at will. Therefore, the Tomb Daughter intends to use this to spy on the true identity of the person in front of her. Sadly, she didn't see any change in expression on this Kuira's face.
"Well, there's no need to be polite. Contributing to the witch group is what I should do. In an almost mechanical tone, Coyla said, "If you have nothing else to do, I'm leaving, Miss Hela." ”
"Yes, I took the liberty of it. Hela bowed, watching Kuyla leave the dark room. The Grave Girl's sideburns oozed sweat, and she gently wiped them off with a handkerchief, but what she couldn't wipe off was the gloom on her face, "This is trouble." But Peg and Glenn aren't there, what should I do..."
