Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

"What is this breath of the abyss you're talking about...?"

"Just understand it as a dangerous magical power that cannot be controlled by humans."

Ya Bo seemed to understand something and nodded.

"Are all the Red Star Society's messengers dead?"

"The man in the felt hat is dead. The other two aren't actually members of the Red Star Society. They're just pretending to be one to deceive you."

Tricia told Ya Bo the information Adele obtained through mind reading. When Novi's identity as a witch was mentioned, he was not surprised, but his eyes raised sharply, and then dropped resignedly - Novi's identity was a secret, but at this moment he also knew that he could do nothing about it.

Ya Bo spoke after a while: "...So, the Red Star Society just wants to capture a witch? Why is that?"

"They seem to be searching for all witch-related relics for the witch's bloodline, and the witch's bloodline is undoubtedly precious," Tricia said calmly. "If they really succeed, Novi will probably face something more terrifying than a nightmare."

After all, Novi is just a person with witch blood.

However, if research is to be conducted, this is far from enough. How can this bloodline be replicated and multiplied? The offspring of a witch must be a witch, so it is easy to imagine what will happen.

Ya Bo's face looked unhappy.

"The purpose of their research on witches is..."

"I don't know. Our knowledge of the Red Star Society is very limited."

Adele could only read surface information and could not easily dig out the memories deep in a person's soul. In addition, the felt-hatted messenger seemed to have an incomplete understanding of the Red Star Society. However, one thing was certain - the Red Star Society's headquarters was in Helansis Butana, and the felt-hatted messenger knew several of its secret contact points.

"Really? Anyway, thank you so much for this time..."

Ya Bo hesitated for a long time before finally expressing his gratitude.

504, Novi Novi

Becky seems to be getting more proactive now.

Elsa gave her a task, to send Vance and the mercenaries back to Kroros - of course, to where they should go, and by the way, to visit Nord's antique shop.

Early in the morning, Aisha saw Becky had returned after completing her mission.

Not only did she come back, she also worked tirelessly on her own, sometimes scouting in front and behind the carriage, sometimes running to the woods to dig out a rabbit nest, feeding grass to the gray deer, and clearing snow to make a fire and cook - although the taste was really hard to describe. To be honest, Becky was obviously a researcher and alchemist, but she had no talent for cooking.

It was only after Elsa took over and fiddled with it for a while that she was able to save the pot of soup.

"It's such a treat to be with Elsa," Tricia said, sitting next to Elsa with a bowl of soup in her hands, savoring it in small sips. "Elsa, where did you learn this cooking technique? I've never seen this cooking method before."

"Um……"

I learned this from my ex-girlfriend, but Elsa couldn't say it out loud - although she had unclear relationships with many people, it seemed too hateful to say it out loud.

Besides, those were things from my previous life, and it’s hard to explain them.

"I forgot too. I was a bit greedy when I was little, so I probably picked up some little tricks without realizing it."

Elsa laughed it off and passed the subject over.

"I really want to see what Elsa was like when she was little," Tricia giggled. "It would be great if I could enjoy Elsa's cooking every day without any worries."

"You want me to cook just for you?"

"Or take turns?"

Aisha thought for a moment, "Then it's impossible to do it once a day..."

"It's okay, you can teach me. I've always wanted to try the process of making ingredients delicious."

At this time, Grace came over with a pot. She was responsible for distributing the food to everyone. When it was Elsa's turn, she directly stuffed a large piece of meat into Elsa's bowl.

Then he left without saying a word.

Aisha looked at Grace's back, while Tricia looked at Aisha and laughed with her hands covering her mouth.

"why are you laughing?"

"I'll go see if Novi is awake. Aisha, take your time eating~"

Not long after Tricia left, Becky came running over.

"Lady Aisha, this is for you!"

Becky stuffed two berries she had picked from somewhere into Elsa's arms, and then she squatted beside her and stared at her while Elsa sat there. If Becky had a dog's tail, it would definitely be swishing behind her at this moment.

Of course, Aisha knew what Becky wanted, her blood.

Becky herself probably didn't know that the so-called delicacy in the bottle was actually Elsa's blood. If she knew, she might not be so attentive - she would only ask for Elsa's blood because she was tired of living.

In short, Elsa won't give blood carelessly. If she gives too much, who knows what else she might raise.

"Thank you."

Elsa saw through it but didn't say anything. She simply rinsed the berries with water magic and took a light bite. There was no special taste at first, just a little bitter. After chewing it twice, Elsa saw a line of words appear in front of her.

【-twenty four】

"..."

Aisha turned her head and looked at Becky quietly.

Becky also blinked and looked at Elsa. After a while, she seemed to realize that this was not recommended in human etiquette, so she looked away slightly.

"Is it delicious?" Becky stammered. "I saw it was pretty, and thought you might like it..."

Staring at Becky's clear eyes, Aisha silently withdrew her gaze - it seemed that Becky really didn't do it on purpose, but was just an accident.

Elsa looked at the berries in her hand helplessly and simply ate them in a few bites.

【-twenty four】

After eating two berries and losing a little more health, Elsa asked Becky, "Do you have any more of this fruit?"

"No more," Becky shook her head honestly, then her eyes lit up and she quickly said, "If Lady Aisha likes it, I can..."

"It tastes good, don't pick it next time."

Aisha stopped Becky's behavior.

At this time, a voice came from the carriage:

"Are you awake? Did you sleep well last night?"

"You are...where am I?"

Elsa got up and walked to the carriage. Grace, Ya Bo and Becky also came over. Novi had just woken up and was surrounded by a group of people. She was a little confused.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"No……"

"Do you remember what happened yesterday?"

"Well……"

After Aisha's reminder, Novi suddenly remembered something about her memories of last night. However, the more time passed, the more vague her memories became. She didn't even know how she fell asleep. She looked at Ya Bo and saw that Ya Bo was not injured. She felt a little relieved. She looked around again and didn't see any of the Red Star Messengers.

"It seems that you are fine." Aisha extended her hand to her. "Breakfast is ready. Come out and have something. By the way, I have something to ask you."

……

Novi's family is a famous magic family in the town. Her grandmother is a witch doctor and her mother is a researcher at the Warlock Union - of course, this is all what she heard.

As far as she can remember, the only relative Novi has ever seen is her grandmother, and the two of them have lived together.

Her grandmother often told her stories about her mother and read to her the letters her mother sent back when she was traveling. Those letters were much older than little Novi, and at the end of the letters, words about the Witch Society always occupied most of the letters. Her mother stopped traveling and stayed in that place, continuing to study magic, and fell in love with a handsome and powerful ronin swordsman.

Only then did Novi know that her mother was a witch - "The Witch of the Night", a name full of Novi's yearning and longing.

But later, the witch will show up with some surprises.

Her mother and father returned to their hometown and gave birth to her here, but tragedy happened at that time - Novi didn't know whether her mother insisted on returning to her hometown to give birth because she had sensed some signs in advance. After giving birth to Novi, her weak mother went crazy.

The heartbroken father had no choice but to kill her, but he was seriously injured and died soon after.

Novi was left to her grandmother.

This is Novi's story, a short one, because she spent almost her entire life in her grandmother's big house, and there is not much story to tell. She grew up with books as her companions. After her grandmother died, she set her ambition to follow in the footsteps of her late mother.

That's why he's involved with the Akaboshi Society.

"The Witch of the Night... I only know that she died in an accident in her hometown, but I don't know the reason. By then, the Witch Society was already on the verge of collapse... So, she left behind a daughter..."

Grace looked at Novi quietly, as if looking for the appearance of her mother.

The Witch of the Night was not someone she was familiar with, she just knew her by acquaintance. It had been so long that she could not remember.

“Why don’t you seek help from the church?”

Aisha asked.

"Because..." Novi hesitated. Ya Bo said, "Everyone, please allow us to remain silent on this issue. Sorry..."

Elsa didn't care about Novi's reasons, she was just curious. Novi didn't want to say, so Elsa stopped asking and didn't ask Adele to read her mind.

But Aisha calculated in her heart that Novi's actual age should be in her twenties, and to be honest, it was hard to tell.

……

505. The Assassin of Fisher Territory

Aisha and Tricia were not surprised.

As early as their first meeting, they had used Adele's mind reading to read Novi's mind. Of course, mind reading is not omnipotent. Adele could only find some vague fragments and piece together a general idea.

Novi's self-statement completes the picture.

The short-lived witch conference over twenty years ago seemed far away to most people. Everything about witches appeared mostly in stories passed down by word of mouth. However, those present did not belong to the "majority". Apart from Lacey, Elsa was the youngest. The rest were people who had come through those years, had encountered witches, and witnessed that story.

For Novi, tracing in her parents' footsteps is exactly what she is committed to.

"I want to know more about my mother... the places where she once found love and lived, the career she loved and poured her blood and sweat into. The Witch Society witnessed all of this, and I must find any trace of it..."

Novi's eyes flashed, and she looked at Grace with hope.

She lowered her posture and pleaded:

"So I want the books you have. I know this might be a bit much, but... I can exchange them. You can ask for anything, as long as I can give them to you. These books mean a lot to me!"

Novi's eyes were clear and her feelings were sincere - the Red Star Society was a scam. It was not an organization that brought good news and studied witch relics, but an illegal group that coveted witches. Because of this, her false hopes were shattered, and Novi became even more obsessed with the "Witch's Legacy" books in Grace's hands.

However, Novi didn't know that Grace in front of her was actually a witch. It was Ya Bo who got this news from Aisha when Novi was asleep.

"Well, Miss... actually..."

Seeing this, Ya Bo coughed lightly in embarrassment and lowered his voice.

"Ms. Grace is a witch, and she is the 'Witch of Ashes' of the Witch Society..."

After Ya Bo finished speaking, he gave Nuo Wei a look, but Nuo Wei obviously didn't understand what was going on for a while. She looked at Ya Bo in confusion, then turned her head slowly to look at Grace, and then seemed to finally understand something.

A witch from the Witch Society?

A living witch from the Witch Society era!?

"--ah?"

Novi was stunned for a moment, then her eyes cleared up instantly. Her adorable look made Elsa smile, and everyone else also smiled slightly. On the contrary, Grace, the person involved, acted very unnatural - Elsa knew that Grace had always been thinner than paper.

Grace sighed, pondered for a moment, and said, "I do know your mother, the Witch of the Night, but I only know her by acquaintance. I don't necessarily know her any better than you do..."

"Please, please tell me! I want to know...anything..."

Novi had never been so excited as she was now, and all the uneasiness she had felt when she woke up had been swept away.

"You can chat slowly," Aisha smiled, "but let's eat something first, the soup is getting cold."

……

With the addition of Novi and Yabo, the journey became lively.

"The title of witch means they have achieved extraordinary achievements in their respective fields that are recognized by others. This may be extraordinary strength, extraordinary combat skills, achievements in magic theory, or unusual magic application techniques..."
