Just when Bell was giving advice to the entire army, Bai Lingche had already followed the witch to the magic circle. What he didn't expect was that there would be such a large clearing in such a large forest. The circle was ten meters wide. In the center knelt a ragged girl, about the same age as him. The six corners around the magic circle were filled with crystal balls and skeletons. Several witches stood beside her, looking like they were guarding the hostages. The man raised his head stiffly, and Bai Lingche found that most of her exposed skin was swollen and blue-purple, but her appearance was beautiful.

"Now, can you give me some water?" said Brut?" she said, her voice hoarse. Chapped lips are evidence that she is severely dehydrated.

"Are you a bucket? Didn't you drink water before?" the tall witch turned impatiently and said sarcastically, "A traitor is here to negotiate terms with us, what a beautiful idea!"

The prisoner hung his head and let out a few poignant laughs: "Ah, yes. Because of his different ideas and his ability to do magic, he is considered a traitor by you. No wonder there was a witch rebellion three years ago!"

As soon as the words came out, the two witches next to them immediately looked at each other nervously. Brut threatened, "You're lying! We're not involved in that! If you say anything more, we'll feed you to the dragon right now!"

The girl stopped talking, for the ends of her silver white hair had become very rough because she had not been cared for for a long time. Her long hair drooped, obscuring most of her look. Bai Lingche felt that this girl was very familiar, but she didn't know where she had seen it. He hadn't seen any characters from his novels before, and he could only guess their identities based on his previous descriptions of them when he arrived.

"A few minutes?" Bai Lingche noticed that the witch next to him was whispering to his companion.

"What? Are you scared?"

"No, I just feel like I'm out of luck. Why look at this guy if it's not good, not to mention that I don't even know the specifics...... Wasn't this guy previously rated as the second most promising witch in the clan, and why was he considered a traitor?"

"Ah, Yu, this guy. It seems that her goals and directions are in conflict with the witch clan. The others were not inclined in this direction, and as a result, the priest was angered. I heard that the dragon coming today is a black fire dragon. Tsk, although it is not a purebred electric dragon, I have to say that this guy Yu is blessed, and he can have a dragon that can be called a god to solve her ......"

"If you think it's a blessing, I'll give it to you!" Feather's voice rang out behind them, and the witch was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground. Yu still had a smile on his face, but the smile was a little stiff: "I don't think it's any good luck or blessing, at most, it can only be said to be bad luck, even if you die, you have to die in the hands of those guys." ”

"You...... How can you talk to a dragon like that......"

"Oh, ha, no? You guys really think of those murderers as immortals? Where has the basic dignity of you witches gone? Witches are really going to fall in your generation. If you want me to say that we should deal more with humans. At least they're much more scrappy than we are. ”

"You, what do you know! Dragons, dragons are now the strongest race on this continent! We can only curry favor with them! Or what do you say let's do?"

"Oh, you're not satisfied, you're not satisfied, you're going to resist, why are you hiding here like a shrunken turtle? Shouldn't we fight like humans? We're still magically advanced creatures, you keep saying that you're dozens of times superior to humans all day long, but if you want me to say, if we stand on an equal footing with humans, then maybe it's humans who really win?"

"Shut up! I'll tell you to shut up!" the tall man kicked over, and Feather was kicked to the ground, but his mouth was still stubbornly sarcastic about the witch. Bai Lingche watched this scene and somehow his whole body became hot, he had an urge to go over and kick the witch to the ground, and the instinct of battle urged him to get out of the bushes......

"Hmm!" a pair of hands stretched out from Bai Lingche's back and covered his mouth.

"Avino!"

At some point, Averno, Edith, and Bell arrived at his side, along with several other comrades. Avino looked very tired, panting, and could only stretch out a finger to his mouth to signal Bai Lingche to be quiet. After taking out the kettle from his waist and taking a sip, he said, "Fortunately, you didn't run out to save people as recklessly as usual, which saved us a lot of trouble." ”

"Huh?" Bai Lingche raised an eyebrow, "Why do I have to rescue someone every time I see someone trapped?

"Well, I didn't expect you to find out pretty quickly. Bell took out a small notebook from his pocket and flipped through it, "If I'm not mistaken, that witch is the sacrifice that will be used tonight." The sacrificed are the dragon generation that all other creatures on this continent revere, but it is rare for witches to kill each other. Kylot, have you heard any of the other witches talking here before, and do you know why?"

"Ah, in general......" Bai Lingche scratched his head, thinking about this kind of thing as if he had only done it a few years ago.

"Shhh...... They seem to say that this witch thinks that she has betrayed their clan because her ideas and goals are different from theirs. However, this witch seems to have an unexpectedly good impression of humans, and it should be noted that she seems to be the most talented in this team. I can't say exactly what it is, that's all I know. ”

"That's the limit of this guy's language. Edith sighed from the sidelines.

Bell pondered for a moment, and then made a judgment: "It seems that just a little dispute will make other witches disgusted...... Understood, you don't need to care about that witch, just go and destroy the magic array. Our goal is only to stop them from performing their sacrifices, and we can't stop them from polluting the area. In fact, the witch sacrifice did not attract much attention in the army at first, but once the witch sacrificed in the place, there would inevitably be natural or man-made disasters, so they were considered a cursed family. ”

Bai Lingche suddenly raised his right hand: "Ah, can I ask a question?"

"Speak. ”

"I don't think I saw Chief Diane and Chief Thorin among you, nothing happened to them, right?"

"Ah, they're all right. Bell smiled, and Edith sneered.

"Well, that's right. They are now carrying out the plan of this 'genius planner', and will come and join us in a moment. ”

"Thanks for the compliment, and so do you. ”

Edith glared at Bell, but didn't know what to say, so he sulked alone.

"So," Bell gestured to everyone, "listen to me!"
