Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

It's probably the complete opposite.

The Witch Queen created the "Witch Dance Troupe" with the aim of changing people's stereotypes about witches, which can be considered a meritorious deed for the present and a benefit for future generations.

So what is this great witch doing now?

In this day and age, most of the "feudal superstitions" have been abolished, and witches are no longer considered taboo.

on the contrary--

Because of the witch's unique skill in magic, many people regard her as an honored guest.

For the community as a whole, spellcasters may not be uncommon;

However, for minor lords, powerful dog owners, or local strongmen within the community, genuine "spellcasters" are still worthy of respect and acquaintance.

They were eager for a witch to join them.

Why are hyacinths now being idolized? It's simply... putting the cart before the horse, and not something wise people would appreciate.

However, people are free.

She can be an idol if she wants, but Zuo Chang doesn't agree. You can't force someone else's opinion to change.

Zuo Chang asked, "How did you witches get into a conflict with the administrators of Heavenly King City?"

Hyacinth's face showed a hint of anger: "I don't know what happened either, maybe there's some misunderstanding? The Divine Sound Society is unreasonable, so don't blame me for being ruthless later!"

Zuo Chang then asked, "Why did you choose 96511 as the location for the gathering? What attracted you to this place?"

Hyacinth looked at Zuo Chang and gave him a sweet smile.

She took down a dazzling gold teapot hanging behind her and placed it on the table: "You two should know better than anyone why we chose 96511."

"?"

Melville was slightly taken aback, not understanding what hyacinth was implying.

Zuo Chang was initially puzzled as well.

Upon closer inspection, he was astonished to discover that the golden teapot that Hyacinth had taken out was actually a sacred artifact!

He suddenly felt the weight of the Warrior's Sword hanging on his belt, and Musogen subconsciously tightened his Rootless Book. The two of them turned their heads at the same time and stared at the Hyacinth.

"..."

goo.

Melville keenly sensed the shift in atmosphere.

She took a step back hesitantly, then quickly said, "W-why are you all suddenly so serious? What's wrong?"

Hyacinth aspires to be an idol, but that doesn't mean she's simple-minded.

rather say……

Those who aspire to be idols, how can they be innocent and pure?

As a "powerful being" with cultivation at the fourteenth level, Hyacinth is very good at assessing situations and knows when to be open and honest.

Such as now.

She sat down and continued, "You two seem quite surprised. But please rest assured, I will not be your enemy, and I am certain that my goals will not conflict with yours."

Zuo Chang remained calm: "I don't know what you're talking about."

"You're not being honest at all."

Hyacinth chuckled.

She quickly smiled and said, "But it's alright. If we meet in 'that place,' just don't attack me or hinder me. I'll remember your kindness, and when you're willing to trust me someday, I'll repay you handsomely, then—"

She nodded, put away the gold teapot on the table, and walked towards the door: "Melville, we should go."

"Eh?"

Are you leaving?

Melville glanced at Zuo Chang, then at Hyacinth's resolute departing figure.

After a moment's hesitation, she said, "Mr. Zuo, I... will come to see you later."

Zuo Chang nodded.

He and Melville cannot be said to be completely unrelated; strictly speaking, Zuo Chang was Melville's benefactor.

However, it is also important for Melville, as a witch, to be close to Hyacinth, who is also a witch and has extremely high cultivation.

They are, after all, of the same kind.

Zuo Chang said, "Be careful. If necessary, you can try to communicate with the war demon; I will hear you."

"Um... goodbye then."

Melville waved and chased after the hyacinths.

Once the footsteps were no longer audible, Musogen turned to look at Zuo Chang: "General Zuo, I'm quite surprised... there are far more people who know about the 'ruins' than I expected. I thought I was the only one in the world who knew."

Zuo Chang was also a little surprised.

The Hersey family is out of the question, since they discovered the ruins three months earlier; Zuo Chang was relatively late compared to them.

What's going on with these hyacinths?

Was this information leaked by the so-called "Queen of Witches"?

Musogen was quite worried.

Although he didn't know what was inside the ruins, if even the Heavenly King General had thrown himself into it, how could it be anything less?

He was already anxious about the Hersey family of Community 1, and now that a witch has suddenly appeared, he can't help but become even more anxious.

and……

Hyacinths obviously need to pass through the "Black God Statue" in the Grand Plaza to enter.

What if she is not careful enough and her whereabouts are discovered, ultimately leading to the Archangel of Arc Light discovering the secrets of the ruins?

He said, "General Zuo, wouldn't it be better to join forces with the Great Witch Hyacinth? Putting aside the advantages of joining forces, I think it would be beneficial to keep this 'unstable element' by our side."

Zuo Chang slowly shook his head: "No rush. At most, the confrontation just now was a cooperation, and I couldn't control her; if she comes to me again next time, it won't be a cooperation anymore, and I'll have to control her."

"??"

Mu Suogen didn't understand what Zuo Chang was talking about: "Why did the hyacinth come knocking on our door?"

“I am trying to take control of Tianwang Square.”

Zuo Chang gave a simple explanation.

He walked outside, looked at the deserted Tianwang Square in the dead of night, and said to Musuogen who followed him out, "I've made some arrangements over the past few days. Whether they will succeed is uncertain, but I think the Arc Light High Priest will be interested."

Okay... card...

Why is it... so... difficult to write...?

There will be another update today, but I'm feeling dizzy and lightheaded right now, so I've decided to take a short rest first (I'll definitely update before 8 PM).

Chapter 260 You Should Learn to Be in Awe

The High Priest of Arclight stood under the moonlight, raised his head, and looked at the huge shadow that stretched across the sky.

That was a "concentration attack."

It is expensive to build and requires meticulous maintenance; firing a single shot consumes a huge amount of resources needed to train a tenth-realm adventurer.

The Heavenly King General's reputation... is still too great.

With special permission from the acting lord, three annihilation cannons were deployed in a rural area like 96511. Originally intended for attacking the Heavenly King, the first shot was unexpectedly fired by a witch who appeared out of nowhere.

The key point is that she wasn't killed yet.

"Ugh……"

Arclight sighed softly, a hint of melancholy creeping over him.

Why does the high priest sigh?

A mocking voice sounded from behind. Arc Light turned around and saw a young man in white with a smile on his face asking a question in a loud voice.

Arclight shook his head: "Nothing. I don't know why, but I've been feeling uneasy lately, like something's about to happen."

"Humph."

The young man in white had a rather reserved smile, but his words were anything but polite.

With his hands behind his back, he laughed and said, "Is it the actions of that 'Heavenly King General' that have put pressure on you? He has indeed been very active lately. Blood Rose is recruiting soldiers in Mailbox City, and there are also some petty thieves in Heavenly King City spying on my secret locations... Perhaps, the witches that suddenly appeared this afternoon were also his doing."

Arc Light looked at the young man in white and sensed his contempt.

When he spoke of "Heavenly King General," a mocking and sarcastic look suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Arc Light understood his emotions—not because the young man in white was particularly outstanding, but mainly because of his experiences.

The young man's name was "Lauren".

Lauren was exceptionally gifted, and before the split within the Church of Time, he was a "supporter" valued by the conservatives.

Unfortunately……

Just as the conservatives decided to give Lauren maximum support and try to make him a new benchmark for the church, General Tianwang suddenly appeared!

His undeniable performance, astonishing charisma, and "cold as steel, hard as iron, inhuman" personality completely changed the conservative pope's mind.

They abandoned their support for Lauren and switched their allegiance to the King.

Given this past conflict, Arc Light could understand Lauren's resentment towards the King of Heaven.

Lauren stared at Arclight in silence, a nameless anger rising within her!

He frowned and asked, "Why aren't you speaking? High Priest of Arc Light!"

"..."

Arclight didn't know what to say.

She raised her hand and pointed to the shadows in the sky: "Lauren, look there, what's that?"
