Chapter 340 Return

"……I see."

The female mercenary Anna acted very calmly after hearing the bad news.

However, everyone can see the disappointment on her face.

"I will not give up. I will continue to search for the Witch Project. If the information I obtained before is not good, it does not mean that it will not be good in the future..."

"Then come on."

Annan actually made it very clear just now. The technical aspect of the Witch Project has reached the limit of a certain era. If you want to achieve a breakthrough in a short period of time, there is no other special way other than waiting.

It's impossible for Anna not to understand, but she is unwilling to give up or think negatively. She can only hold on to this last hope.

Annan turned his head and glanced at Zooey's room. The door over there was closed tightly and there was no sound.

Zooey's sleeping time has been greatly extended recently. If she doesn't sleep for more than ten hours, she basically won't wake up.

This is obviously a reaction to a physical problem. However, after examination, the little girl's body is very healthy. This is a very contradictory situation.

“Do you want to tell Ana, or maybe there is a way I can help Zooey?”

Annan did not try to instill life force into Zooey, or after gaining extra life force, it is possible for the little girl to recover.

However, Annan did not have any extra vitality to distribute freely. Just taking care of Beatrice was already his limit.

He doesn't want to really shorten his lifespan.

Unless he is willing to go crazy and find some innocent people to absorb the life force, it will be difficult to take care of two girls in similar situations at the same time.

"As expected, it's still not possible, right? The power of the chaotic witch hidden in Zooey's body is always a bit disturbing. Is a melancholy ending like this a good thing?"

Annan once chose to deal with the resurrected witch of chaos in order to help Zooey.

This time, like last time, he just chose the option that was beneficial to him, or the option that he felt was good.

"Now just think about it, perhaps Zooey's situation is not only due to the incompleteness of the witch's plan, but also may be related to the power of the chaotic witch in her body. If Anna and Zooey merge into one, maybe... …”

Annan did not speak in the end, and did not tell the secret that the female mercenary did not know.

He does not intend to decide this matter by himself, it is Zooey who should decide.

If Zooey chooses to continue hiding it and leaves quietly, then Annan will support it.

On the other hand, if Zooey struggled desperately to survive and recovered the other half of Anna's power, even if the witch of chaos was resurrected in the end, Annan would not have any objections.

Annan can only be regarded as Dr. Zooey and her friend. There is no further relationship between them. He is not qualified to decide other people's futures and choices.

"Then, so be it."

"It's a week late, but it doesn't make any difference."

Annan once again came to the capital city of Matatek.

It has been a week since Professor Duran set out. After Annan finally took care of the things around him, he finally had time to come here.

However, Annan, who came to the capital this time, did not have any tasks or responsibilities. He came as a tourist.

After Annan got off the plane, he took the shuttle bus from the booked hotel to the city center and checked into the hotel.

He is still relatively rich now, so he stayed in a top-notch five-star hotel without any courtesy at all, not just the two hotels he stayed in last time.

Half a day later in the evening, Annan and Professor Duran met and had dinner in a high-end restaurant.

"Annan, if you want to go to the Bronze Gate, you have to wait a few more days."

Professor Dulan came to the capital this time on an official mission, which was to promote and explain life magic.

Although the same thing has been done the last time we came here, the official does not mind similar things happening a few times.

After all, life magic is the magic research that Matatek has been able to do for a long time, and he always needs to do some publicity to increase his reputation.

"When my affairs are almost finished, I can visit the Bronze Gate in a private name."

"Aren't there any auctions over there this year?"

More than half a year ago, Annan excitedly wanted to participate because he heard that the Bronze Gate organization would hold a large-scale auction.

The items bought at the Bronze Gate auction were all related to the other world, so of course he was very interested.

It's a pity that even Bronze Gate doesn't hold this kind of auction often, not to mention that this is not an international metropolis.

"I haven't heard that it will be held. If you really want to participate, I'm afraid you have to go to Eureka."

Professor Duran has heard of the auction organized by Bronze Gate, which is held every year in some major countries. This is not only to promote themselves, but also to raise enough funds.

There is indeed faint funding from all over the world behind the bronze door, but exploring the other world is an extremely dangerous task. Whether it is manpower or funds, the more the better.

"Forget it, by the way, Professor, nothing special happened?"

The last time they came to the capital, they encountered an attack from the Golden Witch, or it might happen this time.

Dulan shook his head calmly.

"The golden witch is not an idiot. She can't attack so frequently. This is too obvious and strange, and may attract the attention of the White Knight. Don't forget, the White Knight has been visiting this country frequently recently."

"That's right. After all, there is a black magic ruin in Kedax City that has not been completely solved yet."

Annan occasionally paid attention to the ruins that he had participated in excavation before, but the news there was completely blocked, and he had no idea what was going on.

Regarding the issue of the ruins, this matter has not been made public at all. Even if the archaeological team there suffered serious casualties, the general public knows nothing about it.

The White Knight never chooses to disclose serious black magic incidents, and this time is no exception.

"Professor, let me tell you something."

In the private room of the high-end restaurant, Annan still lowered his voice.

"I found an interesting ritual at the academy, a dangerous black magic ritual about using one's own bloodline to find one's relatives."

"..."

Dulan paused for a few seconds while eating.

"...The information about this ceremony will be told to me in detail later."

Annan smiled and nodded.

"Of course, Professor."
