A Journey Of A Delusional Witch
Chapter 73: The Gathering of the Witch

The sun slowly began to move eastward. A sign that the night is coming soon.

Most people will immediately end their activities on that day and immediately go home. The men will not wait to return home to feel the pleasure of dinner cooked by their wives

the kids will be called home for dinner soon.

But today something is different.

In Col Ciel City, the Special City of Witches. The twilight on this day looks different from the usual twilight.

The women wearing thick robes and triangular hats were seen starting to gather in the town square with torches in hand.

Other than wearing similar clothes, they all shared the same title.

Witch (Witch).

By order of their chief, Cardinal La Ciel. All Witches in Sol Ciel are expected to gather in the town square to discuss the future that Sol Ciel will take in the future.

Right in the middle of the square has now been installed a giant round table that can accommodate at least 30 people to sit together. On the round table there is also a variety of dishes and soft drinks to fill the meeting which will be a very long meeting.

In the end, the waiting moment arrived as well.

From the direction of 'Stana' came the Leader of Sol Ciel, Cardinal La Ciel.

Cardinal this time was not wearing her usual white robe, but her official robe as the Leader of Sol Ciel.

It was a gold-plated white robe that looked more luxurious than his usual robe. Even the triangular hat he was wearing now looked smaller yet also made him look even more

commanding.

Cardinal came with her daughter who recently attended a meeting of leaders in Sanguine Kingdom, Asterids La Ciel.

Just like Cardinal, Asterids this time also wearing his official Cloak as vice chairman of Sol Ciel. It was a white robe similar to the one used by Cardinal but had different decorating details.

Walking behind the two of them was the first granddaughter of Cardinal who had just first shown her face to many at an official event like this, Lavender La Ciel. Along with a girl he had just raised as a student, Luna.

Together they were the second granddaughter of Cardinal and daughter of the Asterids, Rosemary La Ciel. Just like Lavender, Rosemary was accompanied by her student, Clara.

Although Lavender and Rosemary's faces are similar, the clothes they wear make people able to distinguish them easily.

Just like his Mother and Grandmother, Rosemary also wore a robe dominated by white. However, there was no gold embroidery on his robe. However, the decorations and decorations on his robe

it was more than enough to distinguish him from Witches in general.

What Lavender was wearing was an open black robe that was more suitable to be called an Armor than a robe. Many people were surprised to see his appearance, but the open robe model like this is actually not too strange because there are some Witches here who also prefer to wear more open robes than thick robes in general.

Cardinals sat in the main seat while Asterids sat right next to him.

Because this round table is only intended for Sol Ciel officials, making Lavender and Rosemary only serve as assistants here.

As the first Grandson, Lavender and his student Luna stood right behind Cardinal. Rosemary and Clara stand behind the Asterids.

After seeing that all the seats were full, Cardinal began her meeting.

"With this I announce, the 1002nd Great Meeting of Sol Ciel has officially begun!"

...

The meeting was opened with the reading of the results of the meeting of the Sanguine Kingdom officials by the Vice Chairman of the Asterids.

After the battle on the plain of Anemo and the fall (Ultima Arca), there was no noticeable movement on the part of the Narsist Kingdom. Instead, they changed tactics and began sending their agents to kidnap the Beastmen they would guide in order to directly infiltrate the Sanguine Kingdom.

Not only that, the Narsist Kingdom army that was trying to infiltrate into the Sanguine Kingdom lately was caught carrying some kind of cursed item or Equipment that would be active if the owner was in a desperate state.

For the intended effect there are various.

There is a physical strengthening of the user to the stage of concern, giving the owner a power that he can not control, to blow himself up and destroy everything around him.

For where the Narsist Kingdom side could obtain all of those cursed items and Equipment, the current guess was that they got them from the same place where they found (Ultima Arca).

There was a high possibility that within the Narsist Kingdom region there had been found a complex of ancient ruins containing many historical relics as well as containing cursed items and Equipment that the Narsist Kingdom had used to strengthen themselves within this war.

"...A few reports from the meeting between the Sanguine Kingdom's higher-ups"

With the completion of the report from the Vice Chairman of the Asterids, it was now the turn of the other Magicians who gave their respective reports.

Most of their reports were more or less the same as the Vice Chairman of the Asterids had said of the Narsist Kingdom who had begun to attempt to infiltrate their borders.

If something is new, it is about the frequency of those who come to infiltrate increasingly alarming days and at which point they are most often infiltrated.

If this continued to be left, it would not be long before the Narsist Kingdom's side finally carried out a massive attack against the Sanguine Kingdom.

After the reporting session has been completed, now is the time for the actual meeting to begin.

Holding his seat, the Cardinal Chief began to speak.

"As you have heard, the Narsist Kingdom is increasingly targeting our territory. Therefore, we should not be silent either.." gazing one by one at the Witches present, the Cardinal Chief continued his words "Magician Rosemary, too, you will I appoint to lead the Witch army of Sol Ciel and join the forces of the Sanguine Kingdom on the battlefield. What will be your time is the Caldera Witch"

Getting the order, Rosemary responded.

Likewise with the Caldera Witch who was appointed as his representative. He was only slightly taller than the Cardinal Chief. Caldera has long blonde hair and wears a round covering of glasses

his eyes were as blue as the ocean.

Overall, his appearance gave the impression of a nerd.

Even so, she was one of the Magicians that should not be underestimated. It was because he was actually a disciple of the Vice Chairman of the Asterids which meant his strength was real.

"Next, the Aroma Witch. You I appointed to lead the defense forces. Guard our borders lest anyone dare enter"

Rising from her seat to give a gesture of respect was a tall woman with long black hair and a pair of golden eyes. Wearing clothes that are messy to impress sensual and if approached you will smell the aroma of alcohol emanated from his body.

He is the Aroma Witch.

Although at first glance he looks like a less reliable drunk, but he is still a Witch from Sol Ciel who deserves to sit at this round table.

Finished giving the role to the Aroma Witch, the Cardinal Chairman again handed the task to the other Witches who attended the meeting today.

After almost all the Magicians got their respective roles, now there was only one more role left that he had to give.

"Witch Lavender, you and your students go infiltrate the Narsist Kingdom. Investigate their internal condition and find out where they can get all those cursed items from. If necessary, destroy it"

Of course the Lavender Witch responded.

With this finished was the division of roles for all the Magicians present at the meeting today. Which meant that it ended already the great meeting of the 1002th Witch Sol Ciel.

To really end it, the Cardinal Chairman gave his final speech.

"Remember always, this war is different from previous wars. What we are at stake here is not the fate of the world but our pride as a Sol Ciel. Therefore, devote all your soul and body and make sure to bring victory to all of us!"

...

Ahhe... Finally finished too.

Relaxing in the 'Room' I ordered Victoria to massage my legs. I swear, at least give me a bench to sit on.

"Teacher, shouldn't we be getting ready?"

"There is no need to rush, although it is true that we have the most difficult task, but Grandma did not mention when we will leave"

"But, if I may know why we're the ones on duty to infiltrate the Narsist Kingdom? As far as I'm concerned there, I don't accept any race other than Human. And we both..."

Well, that could be a problem.

If Luna can still escape just by hiding her tail. While all my appearances clearly say that I am not a Human being.

"That is why I will rely on your [Illusion Magic]. Changing my outer appearance to look like a Human is easy for you, right?"

"Indeed right. But Master must also remember, the Narsist Kingdom also has many illusion experts. My illusion can be exposed at any time"

"Hmrs... That's troublesome..."

I guess before we leave we'll have to turn our heads on how to infiltrate the Narsist Kingdom.

If we're mimicking a movie, we could have infiltrated the sewer line.

Although it sounds slovenly, but it is one option that should not be missed.

It would have been easier if we had an insider who could enter us. But clearly it was impossible because the entire population of the Narsist Kingdom was an enemy... Waitaminute!

"Now I remember, how did those 'refugees' get out of the Kingdom?"

If they know how to get out, then it is only natural that they also know how to get in.

It's decided. Tomorrow morning I will return to Gata City to ask one of the refugees.

...

It's morning now.

Using the portal, Luna and I went to my house in the Ibis Dungeon before we were finally going to the city of Gata.

Accompanying the two of us were Percy and Victoria. While my other servants I ordered to be on standby at Sol Ciel.

Oh, true. I don't know for what reason, but Grandma borrowed the twins as her bodyguards. Which means in my 'Room' right now there's only Zweite and Glory.

Upon returning to my house, I immediately found Lif cleaning the yard. I just went to him.

"Lif, how's the store building process?"

"Welcome, Master. With the construction of the store, everything went very smoothly. The basement, first floor and second floor are ready for use. The third floor is still in the process of construction

interior"

I see, so the second floor can already be used as a meeting place well. And here I was almost confused as to where I would have to meet the refugee.

"Master, if you may ask, who is the girl next to you?"

"Oh, right. This is the first time you've met. Introduce, he is my student, Luna. And Luna, she's Lif, my Chief Servant"

"H-hello"

"It's nice to meet you, Miss Luna"

After the two of them got acquainted, it was time to get into the main topic.

"Lif, the reason I came here is to talk to refugees from the Narsist Kingdom. Do you know any of these refugees?"

"It just so happens that I recognize the leader of the Refugees, Mr. Bleach. If Master is pleased, I can arrange a meeting between the two of you"

"That's great. All in all I also want to see the store in person, so just arrange a meeting there"

"Well, will I act"

"Alright, Luna, let's go to town. There's something you need to see"

"Ready, Teacher"

...

Long story short we are now in the area of Gata City which was newly built. Although there are many buildings that have stood, but construction activities can still be found here and there.

With the damping by Lif, we also arrived in front of my shop which was almost finished.

The outside looks great. It only needs to be slightly polished again before it finally becomes perfect.

Going inside, the first thing we came across was the view of a tavern where Adventurers used to relax.

"The first floor was built on the theme of the tavern on the advice of Miss Milim. He said that visitors can enjoy food and drinks while choosing which girl they want to take with them to bed. Of course, the girls will be hired as chefs and waitresses"

"Ah, I see, so while serving their customers as well while promoting themselves well. It's also a good idea for Milim"

Continuing to the second floor, we found a kind of meeting room connected to a hallway that gave access to empty rooms.

"This room will be used by customers to wait for the girl of their choice to prepare, while for the rooms next door... It doesn't seem to need to be explained anymore"

Heading to the third floor, as Lif had explained earlier, this floor was still unfinished. They were still dividing his room and the ceiling was still not covered.

"The third floor will be aimed at high-end customers. Here they will be served by the best girls who pass the exams made directly by Miss Milim"

So in short the third floor is special people money well. Good, with this it is easy to later distinguish which customers are regular and which customers are really customers.

"Master please wait on the second floor while I will call Mr. Bleach here"

That way Lif also resigned.

While waiting, Luna and I would just sit in the meeting room and enjoy the dish that Percy had just bought before we came here.

A few minutes later Lif finally returned while carrying an old man with him.

He is the same old man that Grandma and I met when we were just starting our journey towards Sanguine Kingdom.

"So you're Bleach, yeah. Sit down, there's something I want to ask you"

Nervously Bleach sat on the bench in front of me. After Victoria provided her with a drink, the conversation began.

"I'm sure it's not the first time we've met, but let me introduce myself. Witch of the Ibis Forest, Lavender La Ciel"

"It's good to see Miss Witch again. As you already know, the servant is the leader of the refugees, Bleach. If I may know, what business is there until Miss Witch needs the presence of a servant?"

"The reason I called you here is so you can tell me if there's a secret passage out into the Narsist Kingdom?"

To my question, Bleach looked pensive for a moment. It seemed that this topic was heavy enough for him that he needed to think hard just to answer my question.

Bleach finally opened his mouth.

"Sorry if it's rude, but if you may know, for what reason does Miss Witch need this information?"

"It's easy, for war matters, that's it. Whahuh? Don't tell me you're still loyal to a Kingdom that thinks you're inferior to Humans?"

"Not that, it's just that this information is quite confidential and known only to us the inhabitants of the underworld"

"Under world? Ahhe... So you're saying that there's a secret city under the Narsist Kingdom that's only inhabited by people like you?"

It seems I'm on target.

For my words Bleach became silent a thousand languages. It was as if he had just realized his mistake of making the secrets of his people known to outsiders.

"No need to fear, all I want is a safe and secret way to get in and out of Narsist Kingdom. Although there is a high possibility that those who live above will be hurt, but I promise that

your people who are still there I won't bother you"

Signaling to Lif, Lif then handed Bleach a bag full of gold coins right before his eyes.

Seeing a bag full of glittering gold, Bleach could not help but gulp down his saliva.

"Did the Witch's Miss promise not to hurt the servant's relatives who still live there?"

"Just calm down, you can keep my promise"

After hesitating for a moment, Bleach then began to reveal all the secret paths that he knew.

From the information he provided, I came to know that there was an ancient city formation just below the present Narsist Kingdom Capital. Although some ancient cities have been turned into sewers, but there are still many

a place untouched by the Kingdom and now used as a dwelling for those who are outcast.

Not only that, I also obtained a safe route to enter the borders of the Narsist Kingdom without being discovered.

After giving him all the information he knew, Bleach resigned by hugging the gold bag he just got.

Seeing him leave while being guided by Lif, a smile was created on my face.

"Quest this time will be fun"
