The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 328 Prophecy Deviation

"Senior! You've learned the Dean's magic waterbed technique?" Anna asked.

"Hmm. This is magic that the Dean brought back from the Well of Heaven. It's a proprietary technique, and like witch magic, you have to use permanent magic power to purchase the magic knowledge to learn it."

However, this magic requires a high aptitude for water magic and a significant amount of time.

"If you're interested in this, I highly recommend you buy the Dean's card, {Magic Waterbed}," Moran said.

The three little witches nodded.

The magical waterbed healed some of their injuries and helped them regain some strength. They immediately perked up and turned into curious little ones.

Anna: "Senior Moran, what are you doing here?"

Annie: "Senior, what kind of magic is this shield that isolates rain, fog, and lightning?"

Bertha: "Senior Moran, what is this Purple Night Grassland you just mentioned?"

The three of them asked different questions in unison.

"Don't rush, I'll answer them one by one," Moran said.

"My residence is in this location, and I plan to go to the castle library to copy books."

This shield isn't magic; it's a new card I designed specifically to defend against Thunder Nights: a {Lightning Shield}. It's available in the card shop, but you can only buy it after you graduate.

As for the Purple Night Grassland, it is a dangerous forbidden area on the continent of Valen, just like the Green Grassland.

However, methods for avoiding nighttime thunderstorms have already been developed, mentioned in the latest third-grade textbook, *The Guide to Traveling in the Continent of Valen*, which Ms. Amisha will likely cover in her continental travel instruction class.

The three little witches quickly summoned their witch's books, turned to the page of "Travel Guide to the Continent of Valen," and searched for information about the Purple Night Plains.

Anne suddenly realized, "Oh, I see! We need to dig a tunnel to hide. I knew the academy wouldn't design an insurmountable obstacle!"

“Well, actually, before last year, the Green Meadow, Green Swamp, and Lone Peak Forest were all difficult areas that little witches were advised against venturing into, especially the Green Meadow and Green Swamp,” Moran said.

The green swamp stirred up painful memories for Bertha:
"Senior! After your entrance ceremony, you all flew north. We thought you all lived in the north!"

So after the inner area opened up, most of us chose to explore northwards in search of habitable places, and as a result, we all ended up gathering at the infirmary.

"That's just a coincidence; most of us live in the south and east," Moran said.

"The poisonous fog and insects of the Green Swamp should have noticed something was wrong as soon as they entered! You went in because you saw us heading that way?"

Bertha, Anna, and Anne nodded.

Moran thought about the tragic scene, looked at them with sympathy, and comforted them:

"It's okay, we can save up supplies again, there's still time!"
Furthermore, the fact that you were able to knock out so many cattle and sheep by dusk demonstrates that you have enough fighting power to hunt and survive in the forests of the inner perimeter.

"Senior! Speaking of mountains and forests, just how big is this grassland? When will we be able to find the mountains and forests?" Anna asked.

“If you try your best tomorrow, you might be able to fly out before dark,” Moran said. “However, there aren’t many suitable places to live in this forest outside the grasslands. Currently, only five witches live here; the other witches live in the forest outside the yellow sand to the east.”

Like Lilith and Renee, she gave a general introduction to the inner area to the younger students who were starting to explore it this year, and offered some suggestions on where to live.

Even if there were a way to safely survive a thunderstorm, the climate of the mountain forests outside the grasslands would not be suitable for habitation. Only in the mountain forests outside the isolated peaks near the grasslands would the distance and climate be suitable.

Moran and her friends had already explored all these places. Apart from where Senior Renee lived last year, there were no other more livable places.

Upon hearing this, Moran noticed that both Anna and Anne were looking at Bertha.

"What's wrong?" Moran asked, puzzled.

Bertha blushed and said, "After our disastrous experience at Green Swamp, I made a prophecy that if we headed south from where we took our wilderness survival class, all three of us would find an ideal place to live. That's why I brought Anna and Anne with me."

On the first day before setting up camp, I casually used a divination method to predict the night's events. The result was an ominous sign, but if I persisted for a while, I would be able to turn misfortune into good fortune.

Fortunately, I used my precognitive abilities to see a way to get through the danger, which allowed me to capture the cattle and sheep... Perhaps this time, the later part of my prophecy came true, while the initial one went astray."

Moran finally understood how they could come up with such an effective yet risky evasion plan when they seemed to know very little about the Purple Night Grassland!

It's obvious that the three junior girls regularly use "nutritional supplements to strengthen their bodies," otherwise they would have been crushed to death long ago with such heavy cattle and sheep piled on their bodies.

“Perhaps it’s not a deviation.” Moran thought for a moment and said, “Prophecy will only be shrouded in mystery because it is beyond one’s ability, but it will not lead to the wrong result if it is within one’s ability. As long as the prophecy is successful, then the content of the prophecy will definitely come to pass. Sometimes it may not be that the content of the prophecy is wrong, but that your interpretation of the prophecy is wrong, or that you have not yet reached the final moment of the prophecy.”

She had also studied prophecy magic seriously, having read the advanced version of the "Prophecy Witch's Magic Book," and had reached the beginner level in all aspects of prophecy magic.

I do have some insights into this.

Bertha pondered Moran's words carefully: "Was the interpretation flawed? Or is it not the final moment of the prophecy yet?"

"Perhaps there are still habitable places in the mountains and forests of the south that I haven't discovered yet."

Perhaps there are places I find unlivable, but you find them wonderful.

Or perhaps you can't find three unclaimed habitable sites in the mountains and forests of the south, but you've taken a fancy to habitable sites that are already occupied!

Moran said, "Putting everything else aside, the location of my residence is absolutely unparalleled in the entire inner area."

Sylph and Vasita's residences are also quite nice, Cheryl's is a bit further away, but it's safer.

You can also choose to continue exploring this area; perhaps your prediction will come true in the end!
Anyway, it's a good omen, isn't it?

Bertha was somewhat tempted and looked at her two friends.

“We’re already here! Of course we’re going to see it through!” Annie said.

“That’s right!” Anna said. “And didn’t you say that the place where Senior Renee used to live is still empty?”

"If you choose to continue, you can visit our residence later!" Moran told the three of them the location of the residences of several witches in the southern mountains.
