Chapter 770: Hecate’s And Joanne’s Adventure [Part 2]



Joanne and Hecate continuously walked down the staircase until they eventually arrived at a long hallway that led to a door.

Since there was only one path to follow, the two young ladies walked cautiously.

Joanne already had her wand at the ready, while Hecate equipped her Mithril Gauntlets, crafted by the Elves in the Lands of Alastor.

But deep inside, the two girls were feeling a bit thrilled because they didn't know what lay ahead beyond the door.

"I'll open it," Hecate said as she held the doorknob," Hecate said. "Be ready for anything."

Joanne nodded as she held her wand tightly in her hand.

When Hecate opened the door, no monsters or any other evil creatures lunged at her.

Instead, they saw a maze in the distance, which made Joanne smirk.

"Interesting," Joanne commented. "A maze under the Dud Manor. Who could have thought?"

Hecate nodded. Aside from the secret password that would allow them to enter this place, the Fish didn't tell her anything else aside from "explore at your own risk."Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

Naturally, Hecate took that as a challenge, so she decided to check what was under the Dud Manor once she reached Brynhildr Academy.

She never considered that the Appraisal Stone might assign her to Manors other than the Dud Manor because she was well aware of her unreliable magic power.

After admiring the maze from a distance, the two walked toward its entrance and saw a sign.

"When you hear my cry loudly, I am far. When it is faint, I am near. Take two right turns and one left turn in order to find me. Three is the magic number which will set you free."

Joanne read the words out loud, which made her interest grow more and more.

"First a maze, then a riddle," Joanne said. "Whoever made this sure has a lot of time in his hands."

Hecate was about to agree with her, but before she could say anything, someone else spoke up, making the two girls almost jump up in surprise.

"Well, you're not wrong, young lady."

Joanne and Hecate turned around and took a fighting stance.

However, when their gaze landed on the person who called out to them from behind, both of them hesitated to launch a preemptive strike.

"Of course, it's allowed," Fortis Dud replied. "I founded this academy, so if I allow it, then there's no problem."

"Uh... you will get these two in trouble." Lyle scratched his head. "Especially after the incident with the Ravens. The Headmaster and the Professors are all busy."

"Which is why this is the perfect opportunity for these two to know a bit more about the world, yes?"

"Well, you're not wrong. But Ethan just finished going inside the painting. Are you sure you want to send these two girls inside of it?"

After hearing the word "painting," Joanne's ears immediately perked up because her brother told her that he had been stuck inside a painting during the week that he went missing in the

academy.

The two ghosts argued for a bit, but in the end, Lyle relented and made a gesture for the two girls to follow him.

"You will talk to the Headmaster about this, okay?" Lyle said. "I don't want to talk with Rinehart right now."

"Fine." Fortis Dud nodded. "Don't worry. I'll make sure to inform him a bit later... maybe."

"Oi! Inform him properly."

"Tsk! You're such a worrywart, Lyle. Just take them to the painting."

Fortis Dud disappeared after saying those words, making Lyle heave a long and deep sigh.

"Well, first things first, My name is Lyle," Lyle introduced himself. "And I am the Will of the Founder of the Eques Manor. I know about the two of you because Ethan always talked about his beautiful sister and his charming junior in Dud Manor."

Of course, Lyle was spouting bullsh*t, but he didn't feel like explaining how he knew about

Joanne and Hecate.

"Since Fortis has decided to give the two of you permission to enter the Painting of Enlightenment, I have no choice but to take you there. So, come with me."

After saying those words, Lyle gestured for the two to follow him toward the back of the Forbidden Section of the Library.

Joanne and Hecate glanced at each other before nodding their heads at the same time.

Ethan only told Joanne about the Painting of Enlightenment, but Joanne told Hecate about it.

Because of this, the two witches wondered if they would be able to meet and see the same people that Ethan saw inside the painting.

The painting which almost trapped and took his memories away from him forever.
