Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 370 The Second Material

While directing the sailors to deliver her belongings back to the naval headquarters, Adele ran into Gegran who was walking slowly from the other side of the corridor.

"That's right, I have something to talk to you about."

Gagran greeted Adele and motioned for her to find a place where no one was around.

Adele asked the sailor to put down his things and leave, and went into the office with Gagran.

"Have the arrangements for you been made?" After entering the room, Geglan sat on the table, swinging her legs rhythmically in front of Adele.

Looking at Gagran's appearance, Adele had an illusion that the witch in front of her was not an angel, but the lazy bar owner.

"I have been transferred from the Snow Wind and will stay in Port Berens to investigate the problem with Ayahuasca that was discovered earlier."

Adele said cautiously, "The fleet is temporarily in the charge of Tracy. It may be to continue to use her deterrent power as a former pirate general."

She did not dare to tell Gaglan about her speculation about William Augustus's conspiracy, for fear that Gaglan would go to William Augustus to seek an explanation regardless of the overall situation.

"…It's not that I can't accept it. You are different from Tracy. The ritual for you to advance to Sequence 5 does not require war as an opportunity. However, the Witch of Despair's requirement of collecting despair is easier to satisfy on the front line."

Gegelan nodded, not taking it too seriously. He said a few words lightly and then got back to the point.

"I came to see you this time because I did a divination yesterday about you."

Seeing Adele's concentration, Gagran continued, "I want to predict the dangers you will encounter in the next month, so I used the magic mirror to predict the future."

"And then, what was the result?"

Adele asked nervously.

"That's why I came to you. I couldn't see anything. There was only a white light in the mirror, and no scene appeared."

There was no big change in Gaglan's expression, but there was some ripples in his tone.

"With your status, you can't even predict it?" Adele was a little surprised.

Although the witch's divination skills were not as good as those of the fortune teller, they were definitely among the top five in the twenty-two paths. Even the divination of the angel-promoted Gagran would be blocked. What on earth would he be involved in next?
"That's right, so you must act with caution in the next month. It may be related to the matter you are investigating." Gegelan warned carefully.

"Well, what suggestions do you have?" Adele asked hurriedly.

"My suggestion?" Gagran smiled, "My suggestion is that I have no suggestion."

Seeing Adele was a little dazed, Gegran explained: "I'm not a professional fortune teller. I hate this kind of fortune telling that doesn't show obvious signs. Even if I know that this matter is related to the ayahuasca incident you're investigating, I don't know how it's related."

"To put it simply, it could be that you were involved in a high-level incident because you intervened in the matter; it could also be that you did nothing, so the hidden danger erupted and involved you in a high-level incident."

"In this situation, if I give you random advice, it will interfere with your subsequent judgment, so I don't intend to give you unfounded advice. After all, this is your fate, and you have to learn to face it yourself."

Adele remained silent, knowing that what Gagran said was true.

Having said that, this kind of unclear divination is still a headache...

Just as she was about to nod in agreement, she saw Gaglan take out a small brown-red patent leather box from her arms and handed it to Adele.

"This is?"

Adele took it in confusion, opened the box, and found a fist-sized, wrinkled, bulging ball inside, emitting a greasy smell of animal protein.

After it came into contact with the sun, it immediately began to burn violently, and its surface gradually cracked like an erupting volcano. Geglan reached out and lightly touched the sphere, and a layer of white frost covered the surface of the sphere, and the flames on the surface gradually went out.

"The silk glands of a lava spider."

Gagran took the handkerchief from Adele's desk and wiped his fingers which were stained with some black ash, and explained to Adele.

"I asked Augustus for it today." Gagran said lightly, "My child can't be commanded by him in vain. He has to bleed a little."

"As I recall, this is one of the alternative main materials for Source Witches to advance to Sequence Five?" Adele was overjoyed and looked at the box for a long time.

"Yes, lava spiders are quite common in the southern continent. In the primitive jungles here, 70% of the magical creatures known to mankind can be found." Gegran said, "I am not here to just tell you about the high-level things you will encounter next. I have to give you some practical help."

"This thing costs nearly five thousand pounds on the market... What do I need to pay?"

Adele struggled mentally for a bit, but finally asked honestly.

Although she had been the one being exploited during this period, she was very clear about her position. She did not subjectively think that her efforts were worth a magical item worth five thousand pounds just because she had been in danger all this time.

"You've already paid."

Gagran smiled slightly, "Miss Justice from the Tarot Club showed me the Blasphemy card."

Sure enough, this was one of the terms of the deal between Miss Audrey and Gagran...

This thought popped up in Adele's mind, but she still insisted: "I traded the Blasphemy Card to Miss Justice, and it was Miss Justice who decided to trade the Blasphemy Card with you. It actually has nothing to do with me."

"Well, according to human logic, it really doesn't matter."

The corners of Gegelan's mouth curled up slightly, "But I am now a mythical creature, and psychological comfort is more important than actual material gains."

"My child's found things and ended up in my hands. As a mother, I am very happy. It is reasonable for me to give my child a reward, right?"

"…Thank you, mother."

Adele felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. She was still not used to such addresses. After all, she hadn't called anyone like that for more than ten years before she met Geglan.

The witch sect was passed down in the form of a witch family during the Fourth Epoch. The mother at that time was not only the giver and receiver of the potion, but was also the de facto biological mother.

Although the witch family was eventually destroyed, the inheritance of this relationship was still preserved in the witch sect as the successor, and it has always been valued by the witches as one of the important means of inheriting humanity.
