The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 521 Leaving Green City

Lady Carmela and Lady Tracy have both gone to find Lady Anita, and it's unknown when they will return.

The wilderness and the witch may not have a powerful witch's protection for some time to come.

Moran, Lilith, Sylph, and Vasita all felt a great responsibility; they had to grow up quickly and become the kind of people that other races feared.

Even if we cannot protect the safety of every witch, we must safeguard the peace of the wilderness.

Moran was alright. From the moment she was born in Emerald Plains, she had been obsessed with becoming stronger quickly. She seized every opportunity to learn and improve herself. After Lady Anita's incident, she only sought the help of the clan council and asked the witches to help her promote the Dawn Society and speed up its spread. In other aspects, she remained the same, focusing on learning magic and improving herself according to her own plan.

Lilith, Sylph, and Vashida are different.

Not only were the experience-sharing sessions organized quickly and well, but they were also never seen idling or playing around when they had free time.

He was either reading witch's books or practicing magic in the magic training room.

It's practically Moran 2.0.

Moran saw it all, but said nothing.

The next night, the experience-sharing meeting of wild mages in Green City was held on time.

On the restaurant's small stage, Moran confidently shared his insights on magic.

After finishing her speech, Moran addressed the audience, whose expressions were unpleasant, with a "heartfelt" tone: "...I know some of you may think that what I just said was all nonsense, but you dare not reveal it because of my status as a high-ranking mage."

But I'm telling you, you're wrong!

Even the Imperial Magic Academy is now specifically recruiting students and training them according to the ancient mage path. I'm only holding this experience-sharing session along the way to earn some travel expenses to Aetheris.

The audience wavered again upon hearing about the Imperial Magic Academy.

The Imperial Magic Academy is far more authoritative than a wild mage.

While they pondered what Moran had just said, Moran instructed Lilith and the others to distribute the {Dawn Academy Trial Invitation}:

"It's fate that we met. Here, this is for you. If you feel your magical talent isn't enough to support you on the path of ancient mages, why not try joining the Dawn Society? The Dawn Society's resource library has Green Ghost Fruit..."

A single green ghost fruit caused a stir, drawing everyone's attention to the invitation.

Meanwhile, Moran and her group had already left the restaurant while the audience was looking at the invitation.

Heading straight to the parking shed, the magical carriage, having undergone cleaning and maintenance, exuded a strong fragrance, causing the group to sneeze several times as they approached.

"Achoo~" Moran covered her nose: "This smells so good!"

“My lord! The longer it sits, the weaker the fragrance becomes. Only such a strong fragrance can mask the filthy stench of the outer city!” the attendant said.

“…” Sylph said, “The mages of Green City clearly also find it smelly, so why don’t they clean up the environment outside the city?”

The thought of having to take that road out of the city again made her feel nauseous.

The problem is that it's her turn to drive today, and not only will her nose be injured, but her eyes won't escape either. "Your Excellency is joking! Those ordinary commoners in the outer city are hardly worth the esteemed mage's trouble," the attendant said matter-of-factly.

“You’re clearly just a commoner too!” Vasita looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Even though they are ordinary people themselves, how can they feel that living in such an environment is justified?
“I’m not like those people! My family has produced noble mages who can live in the inner city…” the servant said with a hint of pride and smugness.

Lilith looked at him and thought of the witch clan today, feeling only sorrow.

While the witches were still considering how to become independent and self-reliant without the protection of the Fireworks Witch, the servant in front of them was indulging in the preferential treatment he received from others.

He disapprovedly reminded him, "Only commoners with noble mages in their families can enter the inner city. If one day, a noble mage in your family no longer exists..."

"Lilith, it's getting late, let's go!" Moran interrupted her.

After the carriage left the Green Ghost Inn, Moran said, "The class consciousness in the hearts of the common people of Green City is deeply rooted. It cannot be made to wake them up with just a few words. That servant, who struggled from the bottom of the common people to become a 'higher' commoner who can enter the inner city, has become a supporter of the class."

This has happened countless times throughout Earth's history.

However, on Earth, the difference between the upper and lower classes is only in their status and the resources they enjoy, but not in their military strength. In contrast, in Valen, there is a huge gap in magical ability between ordinary people and mages. A high-level spellcaster can wipe out a large number of ordinary people with a single spell, which is why this class is particularly difficult to overthrow and break.

“I don’t like it here.” Sylph frowned. “It’s not just the dirty and chaotic environment of the outer city, but also the people here.”

“Me too!” Vasita said, “It feels like the common people here are even worse off than the witches of the Age of Gods…”

"Will that servant ever come to his senses?" Lilith dared not think about it.

"Although witches awaken from human women, they are very different from humans. To be precise, there is no other race in the entire Valen who is like witches, with absolutely no internal strife, no one to restrain them, yet always willingly protects and treats their own kind kindly! Other races may unite against external forces when facing a crisis, but they will never trust all their own kind."

Moran felt that, in a sense, witches and sorceresses were the "outcasts" of Valen.

The witches each have their own personality, but courage, resilience, kindness, and trust in their own kind are qualities etched into their very souls, without exception.

"We'll be going to many more places soon. Once you see more, you'll understand just how special the witch clan is."

After saying that, Moran shut up.

Because the carriage has left the inner city!

Even with the car windows closed and a strong fragrance lingering, Moran always felt that the scent was seeping in.

There were few carriages and pedestrians on the road late at night. Sylph pushed the small wooden horse on the control panel to the front, and the carriage sped up, reaching the outer city gate at top speed.

No one is allowed to leave the city at night, except for noble mages.

Although they were not noble mages with titles, a high-level mage badge was enough for them to enjoy the privilege of opening the city gates and leaving the city alone.

After leaving Green City, Sylph did not slow down and drove for dozens of kilometers before entering a small grove of trees.

When they emerged from the grove, the magic carriage was spotless.

In the dead of night, in a deserted forest, the four of them used water elemental cleaning magic to "bombard" the magical carriage, washing it inside and out several times.
