Chapter 231 The Witch's Great Adventure
Chapter 231 The Witch's Great Adventure
Within the church, there are actually many different branches. For example, the Catholic Church has Franciscans, Dominicans, Benedictines, Augustinians, Cluny Orders, etc.
This is actually similar to sects like Longhu Mountain, Wudang Mountain, and Maoshan Mountain, which are all different schools under the same religion.
Everyone worships the same God, but their practices and interpretations of the doctrines differ slightly.
In this respect, the sectarian groups within Christianity are even more loosely connected.
Originally, Isabella's order was a small branch that advocated asceticism, and her daily diet consisted of only water and bread, without even butter or jam.
Having such a great figure is truly a gift.
(Please do not imitate.)
Perhaps because she was in a bad mood, the usually steadfast ascetic tried alcohol for the first time under the persuasion of Madison and Maria, and unsurprisingly passed out after just one sip, behaving even more dramatically than Niddy had before.
Isabella slept very restlessly, dreaming of constant earthquakes.
In a daze, Isabella opened her eyes and saw a three-story tower stacked on top of each other, constantly shaking.
This scene deeply shocked the nun in black, so much so that she forgot to close her eyes.
But soon, Isabella closed her eyes, forcing herself to clear her mind and pretending she was still asleep.
Unfortunately, those sounds kept penetrating Isabella's ears and automatically generated images in her brain.
With the World Qualifiers over, Roy's personal issues in New York are resolved; all that remains is the FEA hearing.
The FEA headquarters was very efficient this time, starting the formal hearing just three days after the World Qualifiers ended.
The hearings were attended not only by representatives of the FEA and members of the Witchcraft Council, but also by representatives from the White House, demonstrating the importance the federal government attached to the Boston incident.
No one knew that Ophelia had been abducted by Elizabeth, so no one knew what the outcome of the hearing would be. Therefore, Madison, Zoe, and Maria made a lot of preparations.
During the hearing, Mortel simply surrendered.
Ophelia did leave a portion of her power within Mortel's body, but after she was captured by Elizabeth, the connection to that power was completely severed.
Thus, Mortel successfully suppressed this part of Ophelia's power and regained his self-awareness.
However, this also led to Mortel's physical exhaustion, giving the impression that he was about to die.
Thus, the Boston Massacre dealt a heavy blow to the old guard of the Witches, leaving the witches in a state of transition.
Furthermore, the absence of the Supreme Witch has put the Witches' Union in a very passive position.
The White House representative took the opportunity to demand that the Witches Union accept federal government administration, a demand that the council members naturally could not accept.
However, FEA representatives demanded that the Witches take responsibility for the Boston Massacre, either by finding the culprits or by providing direct compensation.
Where can the Witches' Union find Ophelia?
Even if Mortel tried his best not to predict Ophelia's location, he probably wouldn't be able to.
Therefore, the only option left for the Witches' Union was to provide compensation.
The question is, where will the money come from?
Previously, the Witches' Union had many sponsors, but now that they see signs of decline, they are withdrawing their funding.
The council simply doesn't have that much money to compensate the federal government.
Left with no other option, the council had to agree to the White House's decision to place Commissioner Smith within the Witch Coven, which meant that the Witch Coven had officially lost its independence.
The council had no other choice, otherwise the witch school would have to go out of business.
Without witch schools, the Witch Covenant would be completely eradicated.
After the hearing, the young witches of the Apocalypse Society were all very heavy-hearted. For the first time, they realized what the law of the jungle meant.
If the Covenant of Witches had a powerful Supreme Witch, the federal government certainly wouldn't dare to make things so difficult for them.
This planted the seed in Madison and Maria's hearts to become powerful witches.
"Damn it! I must become stronger, become the next Supreme Witch, and then shove that agreement straight into that person's mouth in the White House!"
Madison stated her position directly, and Maria agreed with her.
"Me too! The faces of those people in the White House are absolutely disgusting!"
"Then you'll have to study hard and learn more magic."
Roy glanced at Madison. This girl was quite boastful now, but he wondered how long she could maintain this attitude.
"Hmph! Just you wait, Roy! I will make the name of the Apocalypse Society resound throughout the entire world!"
"I feel like the odds of that happening are probably even lower than yours of winning an Oscar for Best Actress!"
Roy couldn't help but make a comment.
Zoe, standing to the side, didn't have Madison's wildness; after all, her witch talent had already put her at a disadvantage.
"I wonder how Carrie is doing now? I'm a little worried about her!" Zoe already knew that neither Ophelia nor FEA had caught Carrie; it was as if the girl had vanished into thin air.
Madison patted Zoe's shoulder.
"Don't worry! As long as Carrie is alive, we'll definitely find her! She's probably hiding because of the FEA's warrant for her arrest!"
The FEA has officially listed Carrie as a wanted criminal, but Madison and the others know that Carrie became like that to cover their escape, so they still consider Carrie their comrade.
"Perhaps once Ms. Mortel recovers, we can ask her to predict Carrie's location?"
Emma glanced at Mortel in the distance; he looked twenty years older, as if he were on his deathbed.
This made the little witches feel even heavier.
Mortel was already the most powerful of the remaining witches of her generation. If she died, the Coven of Witches would truly be left with only a bunch of scoundrels.
At this point, Roy pulled Emma aside for a private talk.
“Emma, do you want to come back to Fallstown with me? The Witches’ Union is too busy to care about you right now.”
Emma hesitated for a long time before answering Roy.
"Brother Roy, I want to stay at the witch school and learn magic."
Emma's answer did not surprise Roy; her previous attitude had already given him a general idea of what to expect.
"Alright then, with Madison, Zoe, and Maria looking after you at the witch school, you should be fine. But don't forget what you promised me."
Roy respected Emma's choice. Since she had the talent of a witch, there was no point in forcing her to stay by his side as an ordinary person.
Emma nodded solemnly.
"I will, Brother Roy!"
After talking with Emma, Mortel Snow found Roy.
When Mortel first saw Roy, she was very surprised because she felt that Roy was like a fog, someone she had never seen before.
However, Mortel quickly recovered and thanked Roy.
“Mr. Black, I have learned what happened from Zoe, and I am very grateful to you for protecting Zoe and the others!”
Madison, Maria, and Carrie are the most talented young witches in these years of witch school, and also the hope for the future resurgence of the Witches' Union.
Now that Carrie is missing, if Madison and Maria also get caught up in it, the Covenant will truly be doomed.
“Ms. Snow, it’s what I should do. Madison and Maria also protected my cousin Emma.”
Looking at the trembling Mortel, Roy felt that this witch might really be nearing her end.
Seemingly sensing Roy's thoughts, Mortel gave a bitter smile.
“Mr. Black, you must have already figured out my situation, right? So I have a favor to ask you.”
"Please say."
“I have already seen my future. Within a year, the flame of my life will be extinguished, and at that time the Covenant will be completely powerless. Mr. Black, I hope you can protect Madison and Maria at the critical moment.”
It seems that Mortel believes the future of the Covenant rests on Madison and Maria, just as she did with Fiona back then.
“Ms. Snow, you can rest assured about that. I will not let anything happen to Madison, Zoe, or Maria.”
“Then I’m relieved! Thank you very much, Mr. Blake.”
Mortel bowed deeply to Roy and was about to leave when she heard Roy call her back.
“Ms. Snow, I have something here that might be of help to the Witches’ Union.”
Roy handed a black book to Mortel.
"Baron Samadhi?"
“This is the book Mary Lavaux has been looking for. Perhaps you can make some deals with the Voodoo Church.”
There's no point in keeping this book with Roy; it's better to do the Witches' Union a favor.
"Thank you again, Mr. Blake!"
