"I do. I want to eat apples!"

"oh?"

The figure of the old woman reappeared. She stretched out her bony fingers and held the tempting apple. "Come on, then. Let's eat it. Let's eat it."

Winter took a deep breath, opened his mouth wide and took a bite, chewing and swallowing in big mouthfuls. Soon, he had swallowed the whole apple without even spitting out the core.

"very good."

The old woman threw a bag in front of Winter. Through the open bag, Winter could clearly see that it was full of gold pound notes. A rough calculation showed that there were at least several hundred pounds - for ordinary people, this amount of money was definitely enough for them to live a wealthy life.

"Then, from now on, your soul belongs to me, live well~"

The old woman grinned and turned around. "Oh, by the way, you don't have to keep my affairs secret. You can tell anyone. No matter who wants to make a deal with me, I will show up in time - of course, this includes you."

"If, because of your publicity, I can gain more souls, then maybe I won't need your soul anymore, hehehehe..."

With a series of sinister and shrill laughter, the old woman disappeared.

Winter was now panting violently, holding his left chest as his heart was pounding wildly.

After a while, he grabbed the bag of money on the ground and reached out to grab a handful: Really, these are real money!

At this time, the passenger ship whistled, and Winter hurriedly ran out, shouting, "Stop, stop, I want to get off the boat! I want to get off the boat!"

...

On the other side, after the old woman returned to the dock, her body twisted and quickly became smaller, turning into Lilith again. At the same time, Edward took off his invisibility cloak.

"How is it? Do you feel the potion digesting?"

Lilith nodded and drew two fingers: "A little bit."

"Once the news about the witch gets out, your potion should be able to digest further."

The reason why Lilith was chosen to act in this way is that last time on the pirate ship, after she transformed a red apple for the pirates to eat, the potion showed signs of digestion. /幻+想/姬\ `冕-废_岳+黩′

Edward didn't have any better ideas about playing a witch, so he just continued in this direction and played the role according to the inherent impression of witches in fairy tales and legends.

Mysterious, evil, weird, scary...

All in all, the overall impression that witches give to ordinary people is negative.

Lilith then asked, "Edward, will I have to spend so much money every time I perform in the future?"

"What are you thinking? Of course not. That bag of money was transformed. Isn't that more in line with the style of a witch?"

Edward smiled and said, "Once your reputation as a witch spreads, you can play the role in a way that truly matches the image of a witch. Not only will you not have to spend money, you can actually make money."

"Okay~"

"Let's go, we need to prepare for the Tarot Club."

The two of them entered the hotel and said to the boss behind the counter:

"A normal room."

The thin boss looked up and said:

"A valid identification document."

Edward casually took out a piece of paper and cast a Confusion Charm, but the boss frowned: "Damn it, why did you choose my house? Isn't there another hotel across the street?"

His reaction surprised Edward, and he immediately remembered that the people on this island looked down on the indigenous people, but were very flattering to Rune, who colonized them.

Then he shook the paper again, changing the content on it to Rune's identity, and said, "Open your eyes and watch!"

The boss was startled, then nodded and smiled, "Okay, okay.

"Do you need a room with a sea view or a quiet room?"

He switched to the broken Loenese with a strong flavor of spices, trying to please people.

"Quiet and private."

After they paid the money, the boss flattered them to the door of the room and said a lot of flattering words before leaving reluctantly.

"It seems that there are such people in every world. They look down on their compatriots and treat them coldly, but they try their best to please and fawn on the colonizers and invaders."

Edward then took out a crushed golden cup that he had found in the ruins where Kalvetuwa was hiding, and tried to divine:

"This island is related to this cup. /天¨禧`暁+说"

"This island is related to this cup."

…

After repeating it seven times, he closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, entering into an illusory and hazy dream world. Unfortunately, it was always pitch black and he could not see a thing.

Are the divination statements too vague?

Edward thought about it, and then simply and roughly changed it to: "The location of the Book of Disasters."

Soon, a very blurry picture appeared in the dream world. It was an ancient dark-colored parchment book with a few words written in Elvish. Edward couldn't understand it, but he could guess that it was the words "Book of Disaster".

It lay quietly in a broken ruin, with the surroundings hazy, roughly similar in style to the previous ruins.

At this moment, the picture broke and Edward woke up from his dream.

"Is this all the information we can see?"

Edward took out his wand again and used the Divining Wand Technique: "The location of the Book of Calamities."

The wand stood shakily in front of him, not tilting in any direction.

"Tsk, how the hell do I find this?"

Lilith sat on the bed, swinging her short legs. "Edward, what are you looking for?"

"Well, a special item called The Book of Disasters. This book has some connection to the ruins with the sea serpent we visited before."

"Oh~"

She nodded and said, "Wasn't the previous ruins found by the big bird? You can ask it if it can find this one."

Edward's eyes lit up and he patted his forehead, "Yes, I was stupid."

Then, a cold wind blew into the room, and Phoenix spread his wings and flew out of the spirit world, "Who do you need to send a letter to?"

"It's not about delivering a letter, it's about finding a place."

"???"

There was some confusion in its eyes.

"On this island, there should be a place similar to the ruins we visited yesterday. They are both ruins left by ancient elves. Can you find it?"

Edward handed over the golden wine glass. "This wine glass should have some kind of aura shining on it. Maybe it can help you."

Phoenix took the glass with his paw, "Let me try."

"It's troublesome."

It nodded and flew back to the spirit world.

Edward then lay down on the bed, stretched his body and said, "Next, just wait patiently."

Tarot Club, Elf Ruins, and the first online class in the evening, today is going to be another busy day.

...

The cold sea water suddenly woke up Klein, who had lost consciousness due to the torture of the bacteria.

Only then did he realize that he was sinking rapidly towards the dark seabed. Fortunately, the pirates on the ship and the witch who was suspected to be a demigod did not chase him.

Klein endured the burning pain in his chest and quickly made the Creeping Hunger turn pale and then dark green. The surrounding sea water froze and turned into layers of white frost.

Before the white frost completely solidified into ice crystals, Klein suddenly opened his arms to both sides and used the power of the "zombie" to break the frost into pieces, causing them to fly back into the sea farther away, and then formed a small space without any sea water.

The water instantly surged back to fill the gap. Klein stretched out his left palm and released the terrible chill again. It spread out and created a wall of sea water and ice, enclosing himself in a very small space where he could stand and speak, but was confined to it.

Klein immediately took four small steps counterclockwise, chanted the names of Blessings and Infinite Heavenly Venerable, and quickly let his spirit body enter the gray fog.

Then he picked up the Scepter of Poseidon and used the Black Emperor Card and the bronze whistle to condense his spirit and fly out, summoning a huge sea fish nearby. It swallowed the ice block that was like an ice prison into its mouth in one gulp, and then swam away aimlessly.

Klein did not delay and immediately returned to the real world and regained control of his body.

It was pitch black all around, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Huge, roaring heartbeats came from deep within the body of this sea fish.

He shuddered at this moment, not only because of the witch's disease, but also because of the ice walls on all sides. He then took out the sun brooch and injected spirituality into it. A feeling of heat immediately rose from the bottom of his heart - although it did not produce real temperature, it made Klein feel much better.

"call--"

After exhaling a breath of foul air, Klein felt the burning and pain in his chest eased a lot. He was pleasantly surprised but also a little surprised: Logically speaking, a disease released by a demigod-level witch at close range should not be so easy to recover from.

Didn't the other party intend to kill me at that time?

No, the moment I realized I was sick, I clearly felt my body become extremely weak all of a sudden, and my vitality was rapidly draining away, to a degree that was almost fatal.

Moreover, the black flames that shot out later basically caused death if anyone touched it.

What's going on?

Just good luck?

Crane tried to use divination: "I didn't die from illness", but failed.

He walked four steps back and came to the top of the gray fog to divine again. This time in the illusory dream, he saw a person wearing strange clothes - he couldn't see his appearance clearly, and couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.

This feeling... is just like when I saw the red chimney during the divination in Tingen (Ince Zangwill).

"Is this because I have too little information, or is it because it involves a being of the same high status as that quill?"

Half an hour later, after making sure that the pirates and witch demigods were no longer chasing him, Klein ordered the sea fish to return to Bansy Harbor, spit him out a few dozen meters away from the port, and then broke through the "ice prison" and swam back to Bansy Harbor.

The cold sea breeze soaked Klein and he began to shiver. He knew he had a cold, but the port was dark and strange, so he didn't dare to go near it.

As for the nameless one not far away, it was uncertain whether it would bring them trouble.

So he found an empty small fishing boat and got in. The first thing he did was to take off his wet clothes, not caring whether they were clean or not, and wrapped himself in the torn quilt in the cabin. Only then did he gradually warm up his body.

Just like that, I fell into a deep sleep in a daze.

The next morning, Klein was awakened by a loud noise.

Wrapped in a dirty and torn quilt, he rubbed his eyes and looked outside through the gap in the fishing boat. He found that people who had gotten up early were carrying various tools and preparing to go out to sea to fish. Several of them were walking towards the fishing boat where he was.

Klein suddenly became much more sober. He grabbed the clothes that had been hanging out to dry overnight and were still a little wet, and quickly put them on. Only then did he feel a little dizzy and his nose became blocked.
