Chapter 703: From the Past
Yes, even after more than 400 years, the name has been blurred, but the scene at that time is still vivid.
The blue-haired witch knelt down on one knee in front of the three seats of the Federation, solemnly took over the robe and scepter that symbolized the high-level promotion, and accepted the personal blessing of the leader of the Quest Society.
No. 76 deeply remembered the figure when she turned around and raised the scepter under the ceremony stage—as the youngest high-ranking witch born in the Taquila era, her expression full of pride and confidence was like a brand, printed in the hearts of all bystanders.
At that time, number seventy-six was just a member of the garrison, an original battle witch. At that time, when she looked at the energetic young junior, she only had infinite envy and a trace of inferiority complex in her heart.
It turns out that this witch is Agatha.
The dusty memory fragments instantly reappeared in my mind.
She even remembered that the other party was excluded from the core research circle because of some outrageous actions that violated the principle of the Quest Society never hiring mortals.
And Agatha didn't repent at all, and directly built her own research tower outside Taquila City.
Because of her status and identity, no one stopped this behavior. If the original witch dared to openly confront the Quest Society, she would probably be dispatched to the front line of the battle until she became one of the dead in the bloody defensive battle. member.
At that time, No. 76 was quite dissatisfied, thinking that under the current situation of the enemy, she should not make such a move. For the Quest Society, it was equivalent to losing a young and promising promotion, while for her However, most of the resources and foundation for exploring the mysteries of magic stones have been lost. The combination of the two is a loss to the Holy City of Taquila.
But now, all dissatisfaction has long since disappeared with the destruction of the Federation, and more than four hundred years have passed, and now there is only joy in her heart... and unbelievable surprise.
The joy is that she can meet a Taquila witch again here.
Surprisingly, how did this Taquila witch survive until now?
There is no doubt that Agatha still maintains the body of a witch, and even her appearance and age seem to have stayed in that era, not even a trace of aging can be seen!
The bodies of other survivors have already been turned into bones, and only the souls have been preserved through special methods.
No. 76 tried his best to resist the urge to stop her immediately, and watched her leave motionlessly, until the gate of the courtyard wall was closed again, and then took a deep breath.
She already knew what to do next.
...
"Why, did you find anything wrong?" Nightingale noticed a slight change in Sylvie's expression when it was getting dark and the howling wind became bitter again.
"Number 76 left the diplomatic building and jumped out of the window in the corridor on the second floor." The latter replied.
"Oh?" Nightingale raised her eyebrows, "Aren't those windows sealed with iron bars?"
"It's probably rusted, the whole window frame fell off after a shake." Sylvie stood in front of the French window, looking down at the city slowly disappearing into the darkness, "She pulled out the wall, but the guards at the door didn't notice movement."
"But we still found out," Nightingale couldn't help raising the corners of her lips, "She really has a problem!"
Since Roland's safety was more important, she called Sylvie and directly monitored the group's tour in the castle office.
No abnormalities were observed in the morning, and everything was quite normal. After the wolf-heart witches had lunch, No. 76 suddenly showed an uncomfortable look. Judging from the mouth patterns of the conversation, it seemed that she was exhausted from a sleepless night. In the end, under the persuasion of everyone, she folded her clothes and lay down on the bed in the bedroom, directly absent from the visit in the afternoon.
Nightingale originally thought that this day would pass peacefully, but she did not expect that when the dusk approached, she would have a new and unexpected behavior.
"It was really guessed by you," Roland closed the book with great interest, "but an ordinary person can escape your lie detection, he is considered a genius."
Nightingale coughed twice, "After I catch her, sooner or later I will figure out how she did it."
"Number 76 is moving south along the small street outside the castle area, wait...she stopped by the street," Sylvie continued to report, "It looks like she is...waiting for someone?"
"I don't have magic power, and I don't carry any weapons on me. I either came here for information, or I have colluded with other people to try to plan a big event," Nightingale analyzed with high spirits. "If it's the former, I should have been lurking for a longer time. One o'clock is right, so impatient, maybe we will do it tonight."
"Do it? Who are you going to deal with?" Sylvie asked.
"Uh...well, I'll find out later."
Half a quarter of an hour later, Sylvie's voice suddenly froze, "Hey, she moved again... The target seems to be... Oops, isn't that Agatha?"
"It's the factory shift time now, so it's normal for her to appear here..." Nightingale frowned, "But Agatha is a battle witch, and she doesn't have God's Stone of Retaliation on her body. with her?"
"Aggasa has made a move! No... How is this possible!" Sylvie exclaimed in disbelief, "The other party has a reaction from the God Stone!"
This news changed the expressions of Nightingale and Roland!
"nightingale!"
"I'll hurry over there now." Before Roland finished speaking, Nightingale had already escaped into the mist, "Sylvie, protect Your Majesty for me!"
...
Agatha's hands stopped in mid-air, her heart sank suddenly.
This road is a small street leading to the castle area, and generally few townspeople will pass by here, especially at dusk. When she noticed someone approaching her from behind, she turned around without hesitation and summoned ice, which directly froze the opponent's feet.
However, the ice that emerged out of thin air only lasted for a breath and then disappeared in a blink of an eye, as if it had never existed before.
This is... God's Stone of Retaliation?
No, if it's the divine stone, it shouldn't be possible for Han Bing to get close to her.
The magic power clearly condensed into icicles just now, and then dissipated into nothingness.
How can this be?
But Agatha understood that now is not the time to delve into it.
After following this secluded street, and possessing the ability to dispel magic power, he obviously came prepared. Just when she was ready to take the opponent's attack hard, she was stunned by the person's actions.
The follower raised his elbows flat, folded his fingers on his chest, and bent deeply towards her.
She hadn't seen this kind of etiquette for a long time.
That was still the standard etiquette that members of the federation practiced when they met superiors in the Taquila era.
"Are you..." Agatha couldn't help asking.
"I salute you, the youngest high-level awakened person, Lady Agatha," the other party said slowly, "Can we find a place to talk?"
