Chapter 653 Chapter 111 The Secrets of the North Wind Witch
In the castle, the girls’ conversation did not disturb the frost hovering in the sky, and the rustling wind blew the flags.
The power within the wind struck the expensive, transparent glass with a “bang,” making the sunlight descending in the sky flicker for a moment.
But Shiel seemed to hear nothing. Her fair jade fingers gripped tightly, and beneath her long lashes, her beautiful, light gold eyes still showed a trace of disbelief as she looked at the silver-haired girl in the robe who spoke calmly.
“Miss Tais, you mean, the North Wind Witch only appeared in the world to tell people about the arrival of the Frost Calamity… yet she is considered to have brought disaster by the world?”
A trace of shock still lingered in the girl’s voice. The North Wind Witch, she was an enemy of the Frost Calamity… Even though she had thought of it after Tais appeared, hearing it from Tais’s mouth was completely different.
“For the Kasha Cult, this is also just speculation. However, I am happy to hear your guess,” the silver-haired girl said with a gentle smile.
Shiel did not answer immediately. Instead, she raised her face and looked at Irene. The chest under her dress rose and fell gently, as if she was still digesting the shock of Tais’s words.
Verafia crossed her arms, her cheek turned towards the silver-haired girl who was gazing at Shiel.
She was not too surprised. Besides, they did not have such deep-rooted thinking as the people of Aer Continent, and they had personally met the North Wind Witch, Caslet… More importantly, she had already guessed that this witch, who appeared due to the Frost Calamity, possessed the same status as the Frost God after the ice and snow.
Perhaps, this witch was a vessel for the Frost God’s will…
She blinked and turned her face, her heart unable to help but guess, and then her gaze suddenly lifted.
“If that’s the case… the witch is the enemy of the Frost Calamity, then are you looking for me specifically because of her will?”
Verafia’s voice broke the silence that had followed the girl’s words in the hall. Her scorching gold, gorgeous gold eyes gazed at the face of the robed girl.
She had not forgotten that after Tais appeared, she did not go to Shiel, who was the lord, but instead came to her, saying, “It is an honor to meet you.”
If it weren’t for the North Wind Witch, Verafia could not imagine what reason she, a sickly girl who had recently arrived on this continent, could have to attract attention.
“Your words… No, the Witch walks among the ice and snow. We haven’t seen her,”
Tais looked at her and then gently shook her head to deny it.
“Then why did you say you were following the Witch?” Ig asked.
“You are mistaken.”
The tall warrior, who had been standing behind Tais with his arms crossed and remained silent until now, suddenly raised his head. His voice was slightly muffled. “The Kasha Cult only follows Madam Caslet’s will to fight against the Frost Calamity… Perhaps, she wouldn’t even notice us.”
Verafia’s gold eyes blinked.
Compared to the Kasha Cult, she was more aware that this witch was not human. At least, she was a being with a certain status, born from the laws, and on the level of life, she was a demigod.
Moreover, from Tais’s description, it could be seen that Caslet had almost never interacted with humans. Perhaps, the two short sentences she spoke that day were very rare… Even if this witch harbored goodwill towards humans in her heart, she might not know how to express it.
After all, how many Goddess Princesses in the world were as easy to talk to as this young lady?
The girl’s youthful lips curved into a slight smile, and she tilted her little face with a hint of pride.
“However, we have the ability to deduce Madam Caslet’s whereabouts through astrology.”
Tais continued Laurence’s words, “As for Miss Verafia’s previous question… I think the reasonable explanation should be that you have met the Witch before.”
Verafia’s gold eyes lifted slightly. She did not remember meeting the silver-haired girl in the robe opposite her. Moreover, on the night after encountering the North Wind Witch, she had already erased the witch’s mark.
“You don’t need to misunderstand. Although I don’t understand how you erased the Witch’s mark… under the starlight, the past of the long river is revealed.”
As if sensing her thoughts, Tais’s exquisite eyelashes were slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. Her light blue eyes fell on her, and she explained.
With her saying this, Verafia felt even more uncertain.
This girl knew that she had met the witch and spoke of erasing the witch’s mark. Would she guess her identity as the Flame Goddess based on this?
She raised her face, trying to ask, “Then, Miss Tais, what identity do you think this young lady has?”
“You’re asking this?”
Tais was slightly stunned and said with some surprise, as if she hadn’t expected her to ask this. However, after a moment of thought, a smile appeared on her face, “Miss Verafia is naturally a very noble being.”
Verafia frowned unhappily at her ambiguous answer, clearly dissatisfied.
“But you came to find us just because we met this witch, is there anything special about it?” Ophi couldn’t help but step forward, raising her frost blue big eyes, and said very confusedly.
“Miss Dragon Clan, perhaps you cannot understand.”
Tais turned to her, smiled, and then said, “However, Madam Caslet rarely meets others… Perhaps, in her opinion, only those who can change the destiny of this land will appear, and she will speak a few words with him.”
Her movements paused.
“Moreover, the Witch has been looking for special people… Besides Azer, I can be sure that she is looking for you.”
Ophi was still somewhat confused. But Ig couldn’t help but wonder if this was because of Verafia’s identity.
Shiel placed her hand on her chest with some worry, “Because of this, then, Brother Azer…”
However, she also understood that she should not appear so weak at this time. Having been an Earl for many years, she quickly cheered up, “Then, Miss Tais, did you come to Vinash just to find Miss Verafia and them?”
“That’s not the case.”
Tais gave a matter-of-fact negative answer.
“If it were just Miss Verafia, we wouldn’t have had such difficulty. Count, I told you before, we are enemies of the Frost Calamity… Coming to this city, besides Miss Verafia, the more important thing is their conspiracy.”
Her voice paused in the suddenly quiet hall, and she turned to look at Shiel. “Count, this is the next thing I want to discuss with you. What is your opinion of Sir Trist Horn?”
