Xie Bai stood there, speechless for a long time.

Seeing this, Ivy gently leaned closer...

"Snapped!"

Xie Bai quickly closed the book and let out a long sigh of relief.

"What a twisted sense of humor..."

She looked up at Maurice and questioned him in a low voice.

"Speaking of which, what is your current status?"

Having this book with such obvious implications, Xie Bai knew without even guessing who Maurice's connections were.

However, Xie Bai still needed to ask Morris about the specific details.

In response, the other party shrugged and said indifferently.

"I'm a bartender, and also the owner of this pub. Of course, I also have kids' meals, and if you'd like, I can consider ordering a custom-made item."

Seeing Morris's indifferent attitude, Xie Bai was momentarily unsure whether he truly possessed the strength or had simply let go of everything, content to live or die.

"But he just looks so irritating..."

After thinking for a while, Xie Bai slowly retreated and stood opposite Morris.

"Atoris, Ivy..."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xie Bai continued to back away.

"You all, move aside."

next second.

"Whoosh—!!!"

Xie Bai's fist rushed towards Morris's head in an instant, hitting him squarely in the face.

-6064.54 trillion!

"Bang!!!"

In an instant, Maurice's figure transformed into a cloud of blood mist, dissipating throughout the tavern.

The speed was so fast that even Ivy, who was behind Atoris, didn't have time to react.

Ivy looked at all of this and said in disbelief.

"That's it? That's all?"

This isn't right...

Based on my memory, this guy couldn't possibly have died like this.

Especially such a hasty way of dying.

In fact, Ivy's thinking was correct.

At this moment, Xie Bai raised his fist, which was stained with a little blood, and gently shook his head.

"No kill notification, looks like he's still alive."

Sure enough, it's not that easy to deal with special NPCs like this.

but……

Xie Bai looked at the completed epilogues on the task list and confirmed an idea.

"As expected, that guy is one of the people mentioned in this event."

Thinking of this, Xie Bai kicked aside several unidentified corpses at his feet and raised his hand to beckon to the two of them.

"Alright, let's go back to the academy and take care of some simple matters."

After saying that, Xie Bai left the tavern without looking back.

Upon seeing this, Atoris and Ivy exchanged a glance and immediately chose to follow.

"etc…"

Ivy suddenly stopped.

"I almost forgot, I haven't brought my things yet."

Just as Ivy reached out to touch the bag on the table, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a butterfly in the corner.

A pair of pure white wings, with a faint red flame around the edges.

"What is this...?"

Before Ivy could figure it out, she suddenly remembered something and turned around abruptly.

"Oh no, how did they get so far so quickly!"

Ivy quickly grabbed the bag and ran towards Xie Bai and the others in the distance.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

After Ivy ran away, the atmosphere in the tavern immediately became deserted.

The white butterfly that Ivy had ignored flew onto the table and quietly stayed there.

A moment later, a figure suddenly emerged from the shadows deep within the tavern.

【Maurice lv.30】

It's a very ordinary level, almost the level of any random NPC you'd see on the street.

But it was this very person who caught the attention of the butterfly on the table.

"Maurice, you're really alright."

Xie Bai's voice came from the butterfly.

Morris looked at the simple creation woven from the power of the void, and gently pulled out a chair to sit down.

"Your Excellency, the Void King, I do not yet know what you wish to discuss with me alone."

"Of course, if it's a fight, I'm willing to go along with it."

Morris's tone was extremely flat, with a hint of perfunctoriness in it.

However, Xie Bai didn't pay much attention to it this time.

She gently fluttered her butterfly wings and landed on Maurice's shoulder.

"You said before that you know some of the witch's secrets, I'd like to hear them."

As he spoke, Xie Bai suddenly tossed a badge out of the air.

The Sword of Roland

Morris reached out and took the badge, then gently placed it in his pocket.

"You really are being considerate of Miss Ivy's feelings by asking at this very moment."

"However, I have no objection."

As he spoke, Maurice pulled another book from his pocket.

To be precise, it should be a diary.

【"The Sweet, Soft, and Adorable Little Witch's Raising Diary 1.0 (Scratch that) 2.0!"】

"Well…"

"This naming style is so familiar."

This time, not only were quotation marks included, but the parentheses were also included.

However, to her surprise, this diary was unlike the previous scam guide; it actually contained some content.

At first glance, the fonts are all handwritten, and there are also some simple line drawings as illustrations.

Under Xie Bai's watchful gaze, Morris flipped through a few pages before stopping at a certain spot.

【Fate Witch: Ivy】

【Height: 1.39 meters】

[Preferences: Being patted on the head, being hugged, playing cards, making prophecies, being the boss, bullying other witches, simulating the God of Fate manipulating the threads of destiny]

[Comment: This little golden retriever is a bit arrogant but timid. He made the other kids cry, then felt bad and apologized to comfort them. In the end, he even made himself cry. So cute!]

"Um……"

"What is this diary about?"

Xie Bai tried asking Morris.

In response to her question, Maurice continued flipping through his diary.

"A diary written by a vanished being, which records the childhood experiences of various witches."

"For example, Miss Ivy is one of the Fate Witches she raised. However, at that time, Ivy did not have any power over fate. She could only use the Fate Cards to borrow the power of other true gods to play with."

"If other true gods are unwilling, the owner of this diary will personally come to visit and give them a proper greeting."

"Therefore, the Destiny Cards were given a function: they can be used as a medium to contact other true gods and then invoke their power."

As he spoke, Morris continued turning the page.

"This is the Wind Witch, with the lowest profile. She usually just goes to the cliff corner at the top of the mountain to enjoy the wind, and is occasionally harassed by Ivy."

"And this is the Silent Witch, the most powerful among these guys. She almost killed the God of Silence once, but unfortunately, she died in an accident before she could seize the power of silence."

"As for this one, she is the Art Witch, a very lively child. She is a good friend of the God of Art, and in the last moment before the God of Art fell into slumber, he generously gave her eighty percent of his power."

Morris calmly recounted the stories of each witch.

Xie Bai sat on his shoulder, listening silently to everything.

Finally, she couldn't help but ask.

"Most of these witches have a corresponding true god, it is..."

At this moment, Maurice nodded first.

"Yes, their purpose in being born was to take away those powers from the true God, seize control for themselves, and thus change the situation of the gods and the world."

"However, it's easier said than done."

"As I said before, many witches died 30 million years ago, and most of the witches who survived have had their memories restricted and have forgotten where they came from."
