Chapter 685
Alice shook her head helplessly and sighed at the sight of her bickering deputies.
“This is the true portrayal of the life of a Witch of Fate!
“Pursuing Fate! Gathering the powers of Fate!
“And where would powers of Fate be produced? Naturally, where the planar conflicts were most intense and where the disagreements were most heated!
“Yet, we Witches of Fate are all weak and frail believers of Fate without even the ability to kill a chicken. We have to pass through the tumultuous abyss and the edge of the waves without any protection. Any single wave of water would crush our bodies in pieces.
“What is the only thing we can rely upon at this moment?
“Of course, the powers of Fate that we so devotedly believe in!
“Since Fate has brought us here, it will not let us run into our own deaths. A path that we can walk down alive must have been left here amidst the uncertain future and the threatening powerhouses.
“I already said earlier; Fate has no mind of its own and no emotion. It won’t push you toward death simply because you curse it, and it won’t arrange a life of luxury and success simply because of your praises. That is why Fate is a type of power– an unfeeling, world-class power!
“And we are the servants that fate has chosen to protect its body and functions.
“Under ordinary circumstances, fate wouldn’t mind us using our identities to strengthen ourselves. After all, the more powerful we are, the better job we can do to protect the functioning of the world! However, once we grow to a certain level, our existences alone would become obstructions and tumors to the day-to-day functions and trajectory of the world.
“When that happens, it would be time for a new champion of Fate to appear!
“If we were to place all of our strength in Fate, we would not have a single shred of power to defend ourselves with when Fate finally abandons us.”
Snowlotus couldn’t help but pursue the issue, “What does this have to do with that male adept?”
Alice betrayed a grim smile.
“If that day befalls us, he might be my only hope of living. Because he, to all of us and to this world, might be the only outsider!”
“Outsider?” Sofia and Snowlotus frowned at the same time. They were clearly unfamiliar with this term.
However, despite how much they asked, Alice simply smiled without another word.

Greem was utterly ignorant of the three witches’ discussion of Fate. He was currently focused on arranging the expedition of the flying ship.
Large amounts of resources were slowly transferred onto the now repaired flying ship.
After the many witches had boarded the ship, it once again took the skies and flew toward Garan under cover of night.
Garan at night was so peaceful and quiet.
The dark shadows rose and fell along the mountainous geography, stretching into the distance with no end in sight.
Sharp cries of apes and roars of wild beasts could occasionally be heard from within the dense forest, but it was all pitch-black when one leaned against the deck and looked down.
The flying ship had been heading north along the coastline since it had entered Garan.
Alice had a thin robe draped over her body as she wordlessly stood in the shadows of the deck. Her brilliant blue eyes were silently observing the weightless clouds crashing against the ship’s forcefield.
“Don’t forget that on this trip I must find out the location of that pegasus magic spring. Otherwise, the cooperation between my Dark Witches and you will come to an end!” An intangible voice softly reverberated by Alice’s ear.
The owner of the voice only left after an imperceptible nod from Alice.
It was only now that Alice could genuinely enjoy the beautiful scenery before her.
The flying ship was like a metal vessel breaking the waves under the curtain of night, sailing above all else while carrying the adepts within itself!
