Chapter 101: Looking for Someone?
“Witch who appeared in Kaja City? Are you sure you want to find her?” The witch Zheng Yichen was looking for made Qin pause for a moment. The only witch who had recently appeared in Kaja City was Dan Marina. This particular witch, who was also connected to the Sanctuary Church… unless one wanted her to tell fortunes or change their fate, basically no one actively sought her out.
“… Uh, can you find other witches here?”
Qin couldn’t help but give a soft laugh. “This… I can indeed find other witches, but can you pay the price?”
“What price?” Zheng Yichen estimated his current assets. The price seemed something he could still accept.
“Ordinary people cannot pay such a price.” Qin chuckled softly. Among witches, there indeed were ways to locate another witch, but these methods were only used under the premise of truly needing to find the other party. If such a method was used to harm another witch, then the related situation would quickly spread throughout the entire Witch Group.
Do not underestimate the communication network among witches. Witches also had relationship networks. Who knows, the one you harm might have one or two close female friends. In summary, doing so brought a lot of trouble. Unless absolutely necessary, very few witches would use it.
“Obviously, I am not an ordinary person.”
“So you also do not need to pay an ordinary price.” Qin’s eyes moved slightly. “First, tell me who the witch you want to find is.”
“Uh…”
Zheng Yichen hesitated somewhat. Seeing his hesitation, Qin continued, “There are certain rules regarding matters of witches. I also will not easily meddle, as learning about witches can bring oneself a lot of trouble.”
“Alright, she is called Loris.”
“… You really are…” Qin’s expression stiffened somewhat, but she did not continue speaking, only shaking her head slightly. “We cannot find her here, nor does anyone want to find or even get close to her.”
Just as Dan Marina explained to Petty, the power among witches also varied in strength, but while power varied in strength, abilities also had distinctions between extremely dangerous and mildly dangerous. Qin clearly knew her own ability belonged to moderately, bordering on highly, dangerous. Her ability was mainly reflected in the mental aspect, not exactly like those Mages specializing in mental systems but somewhat similar.
Every sentence spoken by her true self would bring additional mental influence to the people around her. This influence would cause their emotions to undergo intense and dramatic changes, whether high or low, all within one sentence from her. Even more, if she wished, one sentence could wipe out a thousand people.
Such power was still categorized as moderately high danger, only because she could control her power to a certain extent, not causing widespread disasters. Loris was also extremely unwelcome even among the Witch Group. Dan Marina was unwelcome because of her connection to the Sanctuary Church, and her ability was too special, easily allowing her to pry into others’ privacy.
Loris was unwelcome because her ability was extremely dangerous! Once a leak occurred, even witches would be severely affected, let alone ordinary people. She was a moving natural disaster. Even if it was not intentional destruction on her part, the passive destruction brought by her ability leaking was something no one could bear.
However, information about her had not appeared in a long time. Among witches, there were even rumors: Had she been captured and secretly executed by the Sanctuary Church people, or had she completely secluded herself in a remote, uninhabited place?
“You seem to know quite a bit about her?” Zheng Yichen became curious immediately. Even if he couldn’t find information about Loris through here, learning about Loris’s matters would be good too. She had always kept silent about her own affairs. Not only that, Qin’s reaction also gave Zheng Yichen a faint feeling… was she also a witch?
“I indeed know quite a bit.” Qin looked at Zheng Yichen somewhat subtly. Her answer like this was already revealing the bottom line, but it was fine. Simply the fact that Zheng Yichen knew of Loris, and was even looking for her, was enough reason for her to act this way. Dan Marina, herself, and Loris… already three witches were paying attention to him. If people found out about this, the Bards would probably compose a new story.
After all, there were precedents. In the past, there were ordinary people who, under the gifts of witches, became Legends… Those people seemed lucky in other aspects, and the recorded stories read as very inspiring, but how many knew that these so-called Legend stories were merely games of the witches?
“… Really, I hate people who speak mysteriously and half-heartedly, leaving one hanging the most!” In the Workshop, Zheng Yichen, with a face full of frustration, processed the latest batch of top-quality materials brought over. All were obtained by Qin. Regarding Loris’s matters, after she piqued Zheng Yichen’s interest, she suddenly stopped. The rest he wanted to know?
Alright then! First, make the body this old lady wants!
Ahem, her words at the time were not exactly like that, but the meaning was very close. Staring at these materials, Zheng Yichen rubbed his chin. Regarding the appearance… When he created Miku’s image, he had already added a note in the Instruction Manual: Unique!
He did not intend to make an exception, so the appearance had to be a different one. Hmm, Weak Sound then? Recalling this image, Zheng Yichen already had a plan in mind, but completing the production still required time. The grade of these materials was too high. Even though his power had greatly increased, handling them was still quite difficult. Zheng Yichen rubbed his hands. After hiding his true body in a safe place, he began to focus on solving this matter.
Next would be a long period of struggle.
Around a month’s time was enough for many things to happen in the outside world. For example, a new type of entertainment venue appeared in Kaja City. It was said to be a tavern, yet completely different from taverns. Inside was clean and hygienic, one could sing and dance, the equipment was novel. It was not only popular among young people, even Mercenaries liked visiting such places quite a bit. After all, in conventional Taverns, it was just holding cups and boasting to each other. But in Bars, one could not only drink but also dance to that extremely strong, passionate, powerful music to vent excess emotions.
Moreover, the novelty of Bars was also quite popular among some young women. With such a situation, it attracted a considerable number of people’s attention. In traditional Taverns, there wouldn’t be any good women going there. The women who frequented such places were mostly Mercenaries, each fierce and tough!
In short, within less than a week of Bars appearing in Kaja City, they became exceptionally popular. Although many people muttered that the consumption there was a bit high, few of those who actually went to Bars cared!
Perhaps when going, they felt the consumption was high, but the environmental facilities and ‘new ways to have fun’ inside made those people feel such consumption was worth it!
“…” Sitting in the Booth Area, Petty nervously held a cup of drink with both hands, watching the people in the dance floor wildly swinging their bodies. She was very unaccustomed to the environment here. In contrast, Dan Marina, who brought her here, was like a fish in water. Even though it was her first time, she immediately blended into the Bar’s atmosphere.
