The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

"Mentor, this is your lunch. We're going out to buy some supplies for the road!" Sylph put down a lunchbox and ran off with Lilith and Vasita.

Moran, who had been completely arranged by the "apprentices": "..."

Looking at the lunchbox, Moran suddenly had a bad feeling.

With a higher level of divination magic, one can occasionally sense fate. Moran dared not ignore his intuition and used a divination technique to predict the future.

"Little Fierce?" Moran decisively threw the entire lunchbox into the {trash can card}.

If a single dish can be used to divine a minor misfortune, then the taste must be extremely mediocre; she certainly wouldn't torture her own tongue!

In the evening, Lilith and the others returned and rested in the tent living room.

Seeing that they were still not moving, Moran asked, "What time is the restaurant's dining time? Aren't you going to have dinner?"

"???" Vasita stared at her with wide eyes: "No way! You already had that meal at noon, and you still want to eat it again?"

“It’s not that I want to eat it, it’s that you want to eat it.” Moran smiled and said, “What’s wrong? Is it not good? I didn’t have time to eat at noon, so I threw it in the trash can after it got cold, and it materialized into a {finished food card} as my lunch.”

Lilith, Vasita, and Sylph: "..."

The next morning, Moran created another crossover version of {Moran's Communication Card} and made his third attempt to contact Lady Carmela.

As soon as the card is played, the dialogue box on the card lights up.

"Lady Carmela has taken out the cards!" Lilith exclaimed in surprise.

Moran quickly sent a text message to Lady Carmela, reminding her how to use the card.

[Carmela: Moran, can you see this?]

Moran: Yes!

[Carmela: This card can actually contact me across such a long distance? That's amazing!]

[Carmela: I'm sorry, Tracy was doing a divination on Anita's situation the other day. This world is very dangerous, and I have to maintain the protective magic non-stop. I really couldn't spare a hand to check the cards, so I kept you waiting. Also, Tracy asked me to give you her regards.]

"Lady Carmela and Lady Tracy have met up?" Vasita said. "Lady Tracy is an all-knowing witch; nothing can be hidden from her. Moran, quickly ask Lady Carmela about the results of her divination, and how Lady Anita is doing!"

Moran nodded and sent a message asking for clarification.

[Carmela: Tracy has divined Anita's location, and the results show her condition isn't good. Her physical body is likely completely dead, but thankfully her soul is still stable and shows no signs of dissipating. Tracy and I are on our way to find her, so don't worry. However, we might not be able to return to Valen for a while; we might not be able to help in the wilderness for the time being. You need to hurry and improve your strength, and protect yourselves.]

Upon seeing Lady Carmela's reply, Moran and the others felt both relieved and somewhat worried.

Although Lady Anita's physical body has died, her soul has not yet dissipated and is even relatively stable for the time being, so there is still room for salvation.

Physical death alone means the loss of witch blood and the inability to cast spells. This means Lady Anita's soul remains, and the Fireworks Witch may truly be gone forever.

The place where Lady Anita could die must be extremely dangerous, so Moran and the others could only try their best to ensure that Lady Carmela and Lady Tracy had no worries.

[Moran: You and Lady Tracy, please go ahead and be careful. We're here in the wilderness and with the witches! Lilith, Vasita, Sylph, and I used witch magic to create a Dawn Society. We're confident that it will deter all the alien races in Valen from provoking the witches again...]

Moran briefly explained the Dawn Society's plans to reassure them.

A few minutes later, Lady Carmela finally replied.

[Carmela: Your plan is perfect, but I must remind you, never use Dawn to control all alien races to remain friendly towards witches. Just prevent them from massacring witches and attacking the wilderness, and leave the witches a place to recuperate!]

[Carmela: Anita's crisis should serve as a wake-up call. Even witches are not invincible. We must be prepared for the possibility that one day we might face the same crisis as Anita.]

[Carmela: No one can protect witches forever, so we can't let them lose their will to move forward with sweet words and a comfortable environment.]

[Carmela: The witches have awakened from suffering and hardship, and they should stand tall and face setbacks. Overprotection can only bring them temporary success. If one day we are gone, the witches may face a crisis even greater than the Age of Divine Descent. Do you understand, Moran?]

Seeing Lady Carmela's reply, Moran, Lilith, Vasita, and Sylph were all shaken.

Yes! Lady Anita's protection not only gave the witches the confidence to deal with danger, but even they felt that their magic level was high enough to make them safe in the wilderness.

If we encounter danger, we can use all our magic to unleash a firework bomb, and absolutely no one can stop it.

When Lady Anita got into trouble and the fireworks magic disappeared, they became worried. They worried about the safety of the wilderness, the safety of the witches who were away, and their own safety.

Thankfully, the witches' education always emphasized pursuing independence and freedom, and they did not neglect learning other magic because of the power of fireworks magic. Otherwise, if Lady Anita had an accident and the fireworks magic had disappeared, the witches would have been completely helpless in dealing with danger.

If she uses the Dawn School to completely control the resources of other races, making them never dare to offend the witch, then in the long run, won't the witches think that the whole world is the witch's friend?
Being pampered for a long time can easily make witches lose their vigilance and wariness towards strangers. In this case, the witches might suffer a major setback when they go to the Well of Heaven.

Not to mention what would happen to the witches if she were gone one day and the card magic disappeared.

The alien race, which has been forced to feign flattery of the witch for so long, will certainly not let her go.

[Moran: I understand!]

Moran knew she had to adjust the Dawn Society's future plans.

Lady Carmela is right; she can protect witches, but she cannot overprotect them.

All that is needed is to ensure that alien races do not invade the wilderness, nor persecute witches, and to provide witches with a peaceful place to recuperate, give birth, and raise young witches.

The witches can handle the rest themselves; they are capable of doing so.

That's settled then! Any alien race that has invaded the wilderness and persecuted witches will be unable to use any cards anymore! (End of Chapter)
