Chapter 3372 Witch Apprentices
After Shade removed the [Moonlight Ring], the corpse ghost trembled and crawled to its feet in the snow, trying to escape in a direction away from the two of them, but after a moment it crawled back and babbled as if it wanted to say something.
It was still on all fours, but its eyes were full of wisdom. It took Shad and Miss Larson a lot of effort to understand what he said.
"Miranda, Miranda, I'm back, Miranda."
The white-haired girl pursed her lips and looked at Shade. Although she knew that this suggestion was a bit troublesome, she still asked:
"Since it has come to this, why don't we help him meet his wife? Mrs. Reinhardt just gave us the address."
"Don't think of me as such a heartless person. Since I said I would help, I must help. But you have to pay first."
"Ok?"
She blinked in confusion, and only understood when she saw Shade pointing at the cat:
"Okay, let's go have lunch first."
"Let's go eat in town. The Harpoon Inn is a good choice."
Xia De suggested that it was very close to here and very cheap. The white-haired girl was about to nod, but quickly shook her head:
"Let's go to the city."
“There’s no need to go out of your way to find an expensive restaurant.”
Xia De reminded, but the witch apprentice didn't think so:
"I just don't want anyone to see us having lunch together. No, it's not that there's anything wrong with this. I'm happy to have lunch with you. But if the teacher gets the news, there will be misunderstandings."
She felt a little embarrassed, so Xia De nodded to show that he understood and didn't dwell on the issue too much.
Of course, the ghoul, which had regained some consciousness but was still dangerous, could not be left here, otherwise no one knew where it would go. And because the other party disagreed, Shade could not turn it into a toy even with the blessing from the Holy White Hall.
So he found a piece of canvas to wrap the ghoul, and then carried it back to the gate leading to the town. Miss Larson borrowed a carriage in the town, and after the ghoul was tied up by the [Moonlight Ring], it was placed in the carriage. Shade and Miss Larson sat in the coachman's seat and drove into the city.
Of course, he did not forget to find Elder Harald to confirm Claire's location before setting off for the Wheel of Time City. It seemed that the witch's climbing progress was quite smooth, and now she had walked nearly half of the way. But the higher she went, the harder it was to walk, so Shade estimated that he would arrive at the end around 5:30 in the evening and wait.
The stranger had also learned how to drive in this world, and although he was not as skilled as the doctor, he could still drive on the mountain roads with few pedestrians. The white-haired girl wrapped in a cold-proof cloak huddled beside him - she didn't want to be in the carriage with the stinking corpse ghosts.
After working with Xia De for a whole morning, the white-haired girl felt that she and Xia De were somewhat familiar with each other. So when she watched him driving, she asked in a low voice:
"Mr. Watson, you are also familiar with the other witches' apprentices, right?"
It is very strange that there is usually not much comparison between witches, but witch apprentices always pay attention to each other's level or talent.
This question has been asked by more than one person. Xia De answered while looking at the road:
"Yes, I know Tifa, Matilda, Margaret, Miss Swift, Miss Bell, and little Miss Aurora."
That's six apprentices, while Megan/Audrey and Sylvia don't have any apprentices, which adds up to exactly eight great witches that Shad knows besides Claire.
Miss Larson noticed that Shade addressed some of the girls by their last names and others by their first names.
"Can you tell me a little about them? The young lady has mentioned these girls to me, but I rarely communicate with them directly."
She continued, and Shade recalled:
"Tifa is the highest-ranked witch apprentice of this generation, and she's already at the ninth ring. Miss Hayley Aurora and Matilda are at the seventh ring, but I heard at the end of the year that Miss Aurora will soon be promoted to the eighth ring, and Matilda was promoted after the end of the year half a month ago."
Little Miss Aurora's level was high because of Xiwei's teaching. She was a 12th-level witch in the parliament before Shade appeared. As for Matilda, Tifa smiled and said to Shade privately that she suspected that any girl who had close contact with Shade would definitely rise rapidly in level. Matilda's sudden promotion was an example.
Of course, Shad was unwilling to admit that he had this ability. His magic [Witch's Pleasure] had only worked on Brienne once. So in order to "punish" the naughty maid, he asked Tifa.
The cold wind blows on my cheeks, and my thoughts return to the present:
"In addition to these three, Miss Charlotte Bell, Miss Rita Swift and Margaret are all six rings. I remember you are also six rings."
"Yes, I was promoted just last fall."
The white-haired girl admitted, and a little sadly:
"In fact, before I was promoted last fall, I was the lowest-ranking apprentice of this generation."
"But aren't you also the youngest?"
"That's different. I've always been worried about embarrassing my teacher. After all, I haven't shown much talent in using the power of the sun. When my teacher was in Winterfell, he shared the witch's power with me just to save me and let me become a witch follower to survive."
She whispered, her voice almost lost in the wind:
"I haven't said this to anyone else, but I know that among the teacher's followers, there are some girls who think I am not worthy of the position of apprentice. No, it's not malicious jealousy, but apprentices are one of the faces of the great witches. If I lose face, it will actually bring shame to the teacher as well."
Apprentices also have their own troubles. Miss Larson is obviously a little inferior, which is very similar to Miss Swift back then.
"Are you envious of the other apprentices?"
She did not deny:
“Miss Servet is beautiful, powerful, and chic, and everyone actually envies her;
Little Miss Aurora and Miss Swift can help their respective teachers with various matters and have long been able to take charge of their own affairs;
Mademoiselle d'Anjou was a princess, and even if she had no power her political influence was very important to Parliament;
Although Matilda's rank is not as high as Miss Servet's, everyone feels that she can also become an excellent apprentice and maid like Miss Servet."
"What about Miss Charlotte Bell? She has no political influence, and she is only an assistant to Flora. Her rank is the same as yours."
Shad asked again, but he actually felt that Miss Bell's love of playing cards was enough to stand out, and he still remembered that he had promised to play a couple of rounds with Miss Bell the next time they met - he was too busy at the end of the year to find the time.
Miss Larson stood beside Shade, her coat collar turned up and her head hunched, as if she wanted to curl up like Mia:
"But I know that Miss Bell is very, very talented. She is very compatible with the power of death. Even the Speaker has praised her."
Shade did not deny this. Miss Bell's pale complexion and Miss Larson's white hair were both manifestations of some kind of "talent." "Miss Owl" told Shade about her apprentice. Miss Bell's breathing and heartbeat stopped at birth. Half an hour after she was thought to have died, she suddenly cried.
Although this caused her to be weak and sickly since childhood, it was just right for her to be the "Great Witch of Death". Even if she hadn't met Flora, people who knew Miss Bell believed that as long as she received a qualified education, she would definitely be able to become a master of necromancy.
Correspondingly, although Miss Larson also showed talent, her talent had little to do with the "sun".
"Remember the Ice Castle?"
Shad asked an unrelated question:
"Now you know that the owner of that castle is a demigod-level witch who lived in the early Fifth Era. I will now tell you additional information: she is also a member of the Witch Council. So guess what seat this witch, who has the same outstanding ice and snow talent as you, holds?"
"I wouldn't dare compare myself to that lady."
Miss Larson said, and then she stared at the silvery white forest belt beside the path for a long time before answering:
"Is it time? The lady said that the other party's coldness can freeze time and space."
Shade shook his head:
"No, I'll give you one more chance to guess. If you guess right, I'll treat you to lunch."
Miss Larson didn't care much about the meal money. Although her teacher was not as rich as other witches, the mining exploration company they ran was not really just about prospecting for minerals. She and Claire had mineral shares in many places in the Old Continent.
"Let me think about it. Ice and snow are also water. Is it wisdom?"
"No. The power of ice and snow comes from winter, and the power of the four seasons belongs to the earth, so Chloe's seat is the earth."
Xia De gave the answer, and he could already see the outline of the city buildings below from afar:
"But to be honest, do you think the power of ice and snow and the seat of the earth are really a good match? In the Fifth Era, whether you can sit at the round table of the parliament does not depend on your talent and power system, but on whether you are strong.
As long as you are strong enough, you can sit wherever you want. This is also true for the current Sixth Era. As long as you are strong enough, will the parliament exclude you from sitting on the seat of the sun just because you use the power of ice and snow? I think Claire has already planned your future path. You still need to improve in both the power of ice and snow and the power of the sun, but the focus is on the former. "
"Two roads at the same time?"
"After all, your situation is special, but this doesn't count as walking two paths. You also know that I am best at the power of the moon, but this does not prevent me from making certain achievements in time and space."
PS: This chapter summarizes the levels of the witch apprentices.
If there are mistakes, please point them out here or in the book review, but it should be fine.
By the way, when Miss Filianna first appeared, she gave Tifa a blessing that allowed her to advance to the next level at any time. The author did not forget this.
