The Witch's Imaginary Land: Redemption Comes After Sticking Together

Page 227

Moreover, what on earth is this vaguely described magical property? Origin Cat even specifically told her that it couldn't imitate this property either.

This was the first time Jiang Kehan ​​had ever seen such a unique witch, and she suddenly gained a greater understanding of the differences between witches.

Is this the so-called Prince Xun?

Seeing Jiang Kehan's stunned expression, Del Marie assumed that the other party was considering whether to accept Theresa's gift, so she smiled and said.

"Take it, Kehan. This isn't anything valuable; it'll just help you avoid some unnecessary trouble and can be considered a form of identification."

"Yes, Theresa guarantees your harmlessness with her own credit."

After Del Marie explained, Theresa smiled and added a sentence.

“Originally, I didn’t intend to vouch for you, but after meeting you, I suddenly understood why you have a core characteristic of protection. In a way, Fran likes reliable and honest people like you.”

"I'm also looking forward to seeing what you leave behind here."

Despite saying this, Theresa felt a chill in her heart. She looked at Jiang Kehan's profile, her mind filled with questions.

The reason she treated Jiang Kehan ​​so specially was not because of the reason she gave, but because she saw—the timeless magic that Jiang Kehan ​​possessed.

Jiang Kehan ​​cast many spells of the Su Zhu school on herself to maintain her condition in the wild, but she has already dispelled them.

But Theresa was able to see the traces of these blessing spells through her magical talents, something beyond her comprehension.

Where do you come from, and what is your purpose?

Theresa thought to herself, her gaze growing increasingly somber: I hope you won't get in my way, otherwise…

She planned to take this uncertainty under her control first, which was also the core reason why she gave Jiang Kehan ​​her guarantee.

Theresa knew she had her own concerns, but she just couldn't let anyone know.

P.S.: Today's third chapter will be a little slower, everyone get some rest, and happy May Day! Hehe!

Chapter 329 Prelude

"Then I'll accept it." After a brief moment of thought, Jiang Kehan ​​decided to accept the gift.

There's no need to reject her kindness now, and besides, turning against Theresa isn't part of her plans.

After all, Jiang Kehan ​​doesn't belong to this era, so her malice towards Theresa is quite low; at most, she's just extra wary.

Well, another reason is that with Theresa's endorsement, she can more easily access certain important figures, which is quite convenient for investigating historical anomalies.

Seeing that Jiang Kehan ​​accepted it, Theresa's smile softened a bit, and then she looked at her with interest and asked.

"Have you been going out with Blake to gather intelligence these past few days?"

Jiang Kehan ​​was somewhat surprised. She and Blake hadn't told anyone about their departure, so Theresa had guessed based on her understanding of Blake.

Well, Theresa is probably also a master of human nature, and a Stand user of the same type as her.

Jiang Kehan ​​quietly became even more vigilant; her "bad woman radar" was almost fully activated.

“Yes, I’m planning to make a deal with Del Marie. Blake and I have investigated all the level 6 dragons, and this information should be able to get us some reward.”

Theresa raised her head slightly, then narrowed her eyes and asked.

"That makes sense, so what do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Kehan ​​secretly glanced at Dale Marie, who had no objection to Theresa speaking up for her.

It seems Theresa and Del Marie have a better relationship than Jiang Kehan ​​thought to herself.

"First, I need an opportunity to hunt the Ancient Dragon alone, and second, Blake and I need these items."

Jiang Kehan ​​handed Theresa a sheet of paper containing intelligence and a list of props that Blake and she had discussed, and spoke solemnly.

Theresa didn't rush to get the note; instead, she fell into thought.

She didn't seem to care about resources or money, but rather about the value of Jiang Kehan ​​and Blake themselves.

Finally, Theresa took out her staff, an unadorned, dark black baton, and tapped it on the stone table.

She looked at Jiang Kehan ​​and said, "I agree. No matter how much you ask, as long as it can reduce the damage of the dragon disaster to the village, I will do anything."

"Besides, I believe you will only ask for less than I thought, so I took it upon myself to double the amount you requested."

"Yes, let's calculate the total value."

Jiang Kehan ​​blinked, looking at Theresa suspiciously, feeling like she'd seen this routine before.

First, assume she might make a big fuss, then express your attitude for others, ensuring that while you might offend Jiang Kehan, you won't make her angry.

When Jiang Kehan ​​showed some dissatisfaction with Theresa, the other party frankly expressed that she trusted Jiang Kehan ​​very much, and finally offered her some practical benefits, turning her dissatisfaction into gratitude.

With such a combination of moves, it's hard not to feel good about Theresa.

Although Jiang Kehan ​​knew that Theresa was playing tricks, she still couldn't bring herself to criticize her.

It wasn't because the other party was a rich woman that she was silenced with money; Jiang Kehan ​​never accepts ill-gotten gains.

Rather, in these few words, Theresa was being sincere; she genuinely cared about the village and was willing to believe Jiang Kehan.

Jiang Kehan ​​understood why Blake described Theresa as kind; it was because the other woman genuinely cared about other witches, a rarity in this era.

"No need to double it. Most of the props that Blake and I need are everyday items, and they're not worth much money."

Jiang Kehan ​​sighed softly, released her hand from the note, and let Del Marie take it.

"Besides, both Del Marie and Miss Dana have been very kind to me, and I just want to do my part, that's all."

Theresa looked at her silently, opened her mouth, and finally just nodded.

Dale Marie, who was standing nearby, smiled and smoothed things over. She said to Jiang Kehan, "Speaking of Diana, your staff has been forged and is waiting for you to pick it up at her house. She's planning to show it off to you. I heard it's been forged very well."

Jiang Kehan's eyes lit up, and then she waved to the two of them, intending to take her leave.

"I'll go get my staff now. I hope this information will be helpful to you."

"Your drink." The store manager greeted her with a smile at the counter, handing the prepared beverage to Jiang Kehan, "For our hero."

Jiang Kehan ​​accepted it shyly, then took a small sip, feeling her tired mind instantly refreshed.

"Wow, this is great stuff!" she exclaimed with delight, then, energized by the shopkeeper's smiling gaze, she ran towards Diana's house.

Only Del Marie and Theresa remained at the stone table.

"Am I being paranoid, Del Marie?" Theresa looked out the window at the ordinary village, where many witches, sheltered there, were living leisurely lives.

These peaceful daily routines seem to be questioning many of Theresa's ideas.

"No amount of extra favors can compare to a simple drink." Theresa gave a wry smile, realizing for the first time that she hadn't truly understood this witch.

“Perhaps.” Del Marie handed Theresa the note containing the information, the details of which exceeded her expectations.

The compensation Jiang Kehan ​​and Black demanded was unbelievably low; the two seemed completely indifferent to material possessions.

Theresa glanced at them briefly, her smile deepening, though it wasn't cold.

"Don't you think this kid is really interesting, and much more pleasing to the eye than that freak Blake?"

Del Marie turned her gaze in the direction Jiang Kehan ​​had left and spoke softly.

“But she is not the Farron Witch, nor can she become the Farron Witch. We do not need to rely on her power.”

"However, once everything settles down, I also want to have a child like her, if I'm still alive."

Theresa swirled her wine glass, put away her staff, and then stood up.

"Let's save these things for later, and besides, you don't even have a lover."

"After all, even an outsider is working hard for this place, so we can't stay any longer."

Theresa's delicate bare feet touched the ground as she spoke without turning her head.

“We are the protectors here and for many others, not the beneficiaries who enjoy wealth and luxury.”

Delilah sighed, propping her face up with her hand, and suddenly wondered if she was getting old and becoming more sentimental.

Perhaps it was because the opportunity she had been waiting for had finally begun to appear, making her both excited and uneasy.

Fearing that they would miss this opportunity.

But Theresa was right; she could no longer rest, because she had more to think about than just herself.

Chapter 330 Holding a sword forward means killing the enemy.

By the time Del Marie and Theresa began their operation, Jiang Kehan ​​had already arrived at Diana's house.

She knocked on the door expectantly, calling softly, "Miss Diana, I've come to get my staff!"

A series of crisp footsteps came from inside the house, and then Diana pushed open the door. To Jiang Kehan's surprise, she took her hand and pulled her into the house.

"You've finally arrived! I can't wait to show off my work."

Clearly, the forging was a great success. Diana laughed heartily and even spoke her mind.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Kehan ​​couldn't contain her curiosity and scanned the room, quickly spotting her staff.

At this moment, the entire blade of the sword was submerged in the strange silver-white meteorite with some black spots, leaving only the simple hilt exposed.

After pulling Jiang Kehan ​​to the meteorite placed on the table, Diana let go of Jiang Kehan's hand, put her hands on her hips with a smug look on her face, and seemed to be waiting for Jiang Kehan ​​to praise her.

Jiang Kehan ​​curiously reached out and touched the meteorite, and a sense of antiquity immediately washed over her.

"Is this my staff?" she asked.

“That’s right! This sword staff can be considered one of the few masterpieces in my forging career. Every detail is just right, even perfect.”

Diana smiled confidently, but her tone was full of professionalism as a blacksmith as she explained the staff to Jiang Kehan.

"Because it is too perfect, it is too sharp and has a certain spirituality in terms of swords."

"Hmm... Normally you need to use magic to resist its sharpness, or like me, store it in a special material that can shield annihilation waves. Of course, as a staff, it doesn't have a scabbard."

"Although it's a little troublesome to store on ordinary days, once you're in battle, this sharpness will definitely be a great help to you."

After Diana finished speaking, she smiled and patted Jiang Kehan's head, then pushed her towards the sword staff with a little force.

“Go ahead and try it, pull it out and see,” she said.

Jiang Kehan ​​looked at the sword and staff that were so close to her, gently stroked the hilt, and then gripped it tightly.

This sword is very light, and its structure is not like a simple solid, but rather a wave-like structure that is constantly moving.

Yes, it's like light, but with a nice texture.
