Chapter 469 Knocking on the Doors
The Tower of Fate.
The daily morning prayer had just ended.
Nearly a hundred witch apprentices slowly left the ceremony hall. Only Snowlotus was left behind, silently waiting for Alice’s orders.
After half a year together, the relationship between Alice, Snowlotus, and Sofia had become much closer than before. In particular, Snowlotus’ mediation had also led to a great improvement in Alice’s relationship with the Witches of Deceit. The leader of the Witches of Deceit had even invited Alice to be a guest of the Moya Clan at an appropriate time.
That was good news for Alice regardless of how one looked at it!
“Alice, is there anything you need in having me stay back?” Snowlotus couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity. She had only seen Alice frowning in silence despite quite an extended period of bowing in anticipation of Alice’s words.
“Today,” Alice suddenly shook as she muttered uncontrollably, “A guest from far away will be visiting. I hope you can help me receive her first!”
Mary smiled coldly.
It was the Tower of Fate that stood before her. This place was undoubtedly Alice’s home field. If she didn’t dare to go in, didn’t that mean that she was afraid of her?! However, if Mary walked into that girl’s base just like that, she might fall into a trap.
Even though Mary was still hesitating internally, she strode into the barrier of light with no hesitation and entered the Tower of Fate.
Behind the light barrier was the arcane hall on the Tower of Fate’s first level.
It was free time for the witch apprentices now. They were gathered together in groups of two and three, giggling as they gossiped, softly discussed problems, or set up stores to sell the trinkets they made themselves.
The witch apprentices immediately made way when they saw Snowlotus and bowed to greet her.
Snowlotus maintained her calm and distant composure as she led Mary to the upper levels of the tower.
Mary followed behind, her crimson eyes sweeping across the hall. She instantly saw through the power of all the numerous witch apprentices.
Out of nearly a hundred witch apprentices, not one of them were pseudo-adepts. The strongest of them were at no more than the advanced level. In fact, over sixty or seventy percent of them were actually beginner apprentices.
This distribution of apprentice strength couldn’t ever be considered appropriate for this Tower of Fate!
As the leader of the Witches of Fate and one of the rulers of the Northern Witches, the strength of Alice’s subordinates was inferior to the random group of individuals that Greem had gathered back in Fire Throne.
Alice’s situation seemed to be a lot worse than she thought!
Snowlotus brought Mary all the way to a guest hall on the eighth level of the tower. She then sat down with Mary in complete silence.
It was clear that Snowlotus wasn’t someone who was good at conversation. Mary also wasn’t a person who would make small talk when there was no need. Thus, the two of them sat facing each other, closing their eyes and waiting in silence.
Soon, Snowlotus even started meditating without another word.
Mary opened her crimson eyes and looked at the girl’s crystalline skin that seemed carved from ice. She couldn’t hide the shock in her eyes.
Alice was quite bold to have sent a subordinate like this to receive her. Was she not afraid that I would start trouble? At this distance, Mary had absolute confidence she could kill Snowlotus before she could react.
After another hour, the dazzling stream of fate on the Tower of Fate’s top floor gradually faded. It seemed the divination ceremony had concluded.
As expected, seven minutes later, a sweet voice rang out in the guest hall.
“Sister Mary. As I expected, you came!”
A slender and pretty lady wearing a purple starry robe walked into the hall.
“Alice?” Mary stood up in confusion.
She had heard news of Alice’s figure and appearance changing tremendously after advancing to Witch of Fate, but the woman before her was just far too drastic a juxtaposition to the loli in her mind. It caused Mary to be in a bit of a denial for a moment!
“Sis Mary, you came here to see me right after your return. I’m just too happy!” Alice smiled and walked to Mary’s side.
Snowlotus stood up silently and moved behind Alice.
“Happy? What’s there to be happy about?” Mary spoke coldly, “Did your divination spell not tell you that I’m here to fight you?”
The smile on Alice’s face just hung there in the air.
Er… Mary’s still as straightforward as before. She’s still so insistent, even when I’m being so friendly. Cough. I guess I can only resort to that trick!
Alice dropped her smile and looked at the eager Mary with resentful eyes. She said calmly, “We are not enemies, but allies!”
“I know we are allies!” Mary’s reply was still straight to the point, “I’ve already fought with Greem. I can’t beat him, so I’ll listen to him. Now I want to fight with you. It doesn’t matter who wins; the other person will have to obey them.”
What amazing logic!
Alice’s mouth couldn’t help but become agape. She was utterly in awe of this friend of hers.
