Chapter 321
Chapter 321 The Truth of the Chaos
Alice’s instant teleportation in the past had been an application of her spatial talent.
Back then, an intense and apparent spatial flux had accompanied her usage of spatial powers. Much like a boulder thrown into a pond, everyone would know that she was doing spatial transfer and teleportation.
However, the teleportation Alice had just used caused absolutely no commotion at all. Even though Greem was staring right at her, he still failed to catch her movements in time.
Still, who was Greem?
With the help of the chip, he had been able to use slow-motion replay to discover the truth behind Alice’s instant teleportation.
In the past, Alice always made a spatial rift sizeable enough for herself when she teleported. Then she hid in the folds of space and tore another spatial rift at her target location. The smooth execution of the process made it seem like Alice could disappear and then instantly teleport to another spot.
But this time, Alice had genuinely succeeded in her instant teleportation!
“To which branch of the witches does the Moya Clan belong?” Greem asked in all seriousness.
“We of the Moya Clan belong to the Pale Witches. We are a great witch clan that has a history of thousands of years.” Her tone couldn’t help but reveal her pride when she spoke about the Moya Clan.
“Isn’t it a common occurrence for your witch branches to rise and fall throughout the ages? I read it in the books. And if anything was related to the revival and restoration of a branch, it is forbidden for the other witch branches to intervene in the process. Why would the leader of the Witches of Deceit actively act to intervene in the revival of the Witch of Fate?”
Alice’s eyes went dim at Greem’s question.
After a long pause, she spoke resentfully, “The witches now can hardly be compared to the witches ten thousand years ago. The Witch Queen was still present then. All the witches gathered about her, and together they were a dominant force. With the Witch Queen’s departure into the infinite universe, the other witches left in the World of Adepts had started to become lax and disunited. Only seven branches remain of the thirteen witch branches.
“Only seven branches remain in the Northern lands. The Witches of Deceit, the Pale Witches, Agony Witches, Death Witches, Coldwinter Witches, Dark Witches, and the False Witches. If a new branch were to rise once again, it would unavoidably change the political scene of the Northern lands. Thus…”
“Is she not worried about fate’s backlash now that she has intervened in the selection of the Witch of Fate?”
“Perhaps. Perhaps a descendant of her own family has awakened the bloodline of the Witch of Fate. Only something like this could cause her to risk the backlash of intervening in the selections!” Alice couldn’t help but suspect that this was the case.
“……”
Greem was utterly speechless for a moment.
As expected, even the knowledge in books wasn’t always trustworthy!
The size of this world and the trickeries that hid below its surface had far exceeded his imaginations. If he continued to believe blindly in ancient textual records, he would probably end up in a disadvantageous situation in the future.
Once Greem and Alice were finished talking, the Third Grade adept Sanazar summoned her.
With Sanazar personally asking Alice to join the Sarubo Clan, Alice eagerly accepted her offer to serve the Sarubo for an eight-year period temporarily.
Alice’s identity as a candidate for the Witch of Fate was already an open secret. Sanazar might not have cared for the mysterious inheritance methods of the Northern Witches, but she had most definitely heard rumors.
With more and more candidates popping up across the world, the Northern Witches weren’t the only ones that had become excessively busy. Some of the other forces in the World of Adepts had also started to interfere in this ceremony.
They didn’t dare to challenge the Northern Witches directly.
However, now that a candidate for the Witch of Fate had appeared in their lands, they would put in all their effort to win her to their side and cultivate her powers.
If their candidate won in the Battle of Fate, they could take the opportunity and obtain a piece of land in the Northern areas. In doing so, they would successfully extend their reach into the traditional territories of the Northern Witches.
As such, the candidates for the Witch of Fate were both highly desired talents and troublesome individuals at the same time.
If a clan had sufficient resources, they could participate in the event and hope to win great benefits with small investments. As long as they were able to kill off all other challengers before the Battle of Fate, their candidate would successfully ascend to the legendary throne of the Witch of Fate, even if the candidate was unbelievably weak and useless.
However, it was very much advised that they kept their hands clean of the matter if their clan was weak and powerless!
