Chapter 116 The Great Witch's Willfulness

Luo Yue took the crystal ball and got straight to the point, stating his intention to stay and protect the town.

Odo's response was equally direct: "No, this is an order personally given by Lady Purple Lily. In her view, you are far more important than the entire town. You shouldn't be stubborn at a time like this. The dangers of the Abyss are beyond your imagination; it's not comparable to a place like the Night Banquet."

"Can I talk to her? I think I can persuade her."

There was a moment of silence on Odo's end, then a light shone from the crystal ball, projecting a signature witch's hat, and a pleasant voice rang out: "I heard there's a willful little brat trying to do things his own way? What's wrong? Is he trying to get my attention this way? Hehe~ How cute."

It just goes to show that a witch is a witch after all; her way of speaking is quite different from that of ordinary people.

Luo Yue quickly took a deep breath, carefully considered her words, and greeted her first: "Hello, Your Excellency, I hope you can rescind your order and allow me to protect my home and territory."

"Hey~ So you've really entered your rebellious phase? Okay, I'll give you three minutes to convince me. Let's begin."

"First of all, I am very familiar with this place and know everyone here. With me here, we can communicate and collaborate effectively."

"Mmm~"

"Then, I was actually already at the third tier, and I had mastered a few third-tier spells using the textbook that Lemir lent me."

"Hmm? Your talent is indeed quite good. Should I praise you?"

"Also, I've studied the occult for a while and mastered divination, which will definitely be helpful."

"Hehe~ This is a little surprise for me. When you have time, help me figure out where my future boyfriend is."

Luo Yue offered three reasons, but the Great Witch in the crystal ball seemed to be teasing him and didn't respond seriously at all, leaving Luo Yue feeling powerless and helpless. He never expected that a dignified seventh-order Great Witch would behave in this way.

Seeing that Luo Yue didn't speak again, the Great Witch in the crystal ball urged him in that joking tone, "If that's all, it's still not enough. Keep going, you're almost there to convince me!"

This guy—

Having no other choice, Luo Yue reluctantly said, "The mysterious entity behind me also wants me to stay."

This time, the Great Witch finally didn't use that flippant tone to brush him off; instead, she fell silent for a few seconds, as if...

After thinking for a moment, he replied, "You should have said that earlier. You said so much before just because you wanted to talk to me more? Hehe~ It's a bit of an old-fashioned tactic, but I don't mind talking to young guys more."

"It wasn't me—okay, so you agree?"

"Why not? I'm a very open-minded older sister. Don't think of me as a stubborn old fogey, or I'll be unhappy."

The Great Witch's tone carried a hint of amusement, making it difficult to tell whether she was serious or not.

But she immediately added, "In that case, I'll leave the front lines to you for now. I'll take a short break and come back later. You know, being busy is the biggest enemy of beauty—"

"ah???"

This time, Luo Yue was dumbfounded. He never expected that such a dignified seventh-level expert would actually quit.

He wanted to speak up and persuade her, but the witch's hat on the crystal ball had disappeared, and the voice that came through it had changed to Odo's: "Since the Great Witch has issued a new decree, then you, Rhoyo, are the representative of our school. We will follow your command from now on."

"No! Vice Dean, please don't say that. I think the Great Witch was just joking!"

"How could that be? The Great Witch never jokes—Alright, let's leave it at that for now. I need to gather the academy's resources to support you as soon as possible."

After saying that, Odo logged off, leaving a numb Royo holding the silent crystal ball, her mind a complete mess.

I just wanted to stay and contribute my strength to defending my homeland, so how did I inexplicably become the leader of the school?

Even a witch shouldn't act so recklessly, right?

Does she really believe that there is an angel or something similar behind her?

Okay, there really is one, but that angel is still very weak.

As Royo was lost in thought, McVeigh patted his shoulder and said with an envious look, "Congratulations, Royo! To be able to serve as such an important frontline commander at such a young age is truly enviable." "Are you serious or sarcastic?"

"How could I possibly be sarcastic towards the person who saved my life?"

McVeigh quickly clarified, then earnestly explained to the Great Witch, "The Great Witch's thoughts are beyond our comprehension—she has made many seemingly joking decisions that puzzled many, but all of them later proved her foresight—"

So we all say in private that she has the ability to see into fate.

"To glimpse fate?"

Luo Yue was somewhat surprised. The development of mysticism in the old world was still in a primitive state, yet they were already capable of doing things like prying into fate.

Could it be that the great witch also possesses a sacred object similar to the one on Haimo's head?

"Yes, otherwise how could the Great Witch have developed our school into what it is in just one hundred years after leaving the Classical School? You must know, she was only at the sixth level back then —"

Over the years, countless sixth-tier individuals have attempted to emulate her, yet none have succeeded. This illustrates just how difficult the choice was. The Great Witch's ability to do so suggests she possesses methods surpassing those of other sixth-tier individuals.

McVeigh continued, prompting Royo to nod thoughtfully.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's not sit idly by and start by preparing the logistics."

Just as the two were talking, McVeigh's crystal ball lit up again.

It was a message from his butler informing him that the original artist lord had readily agreed to the request, and

Without mentioning any compensation, he voluntarily donated ownership of the territory to the Purple Lily School, as long as such troublesome matters didn't affect him.

And so, all that was left for Royo to do was complete the formal paperwork before he could officially succeed as lord.

"My lord, I suggest you change the name of the town, since it was named after the surname of the previous lord."

McVess continued to offer his advice.

"Yes, I understand. From now on, let's call this town Arimitshe."

Luo Yue casually mentioned a name he remembered, and continued to scribble and draw on the documents, circling out the tasks that the mayor and his team needed to do.

Although he didn't know how to command the reinforcements from the other school, he at least knew what to do in the town and could handle things there first.
