Chapter 367: The Witch's Past

Fear? Chen Qi subconsciously shrank his pupils.

At this moment, the Ice Witch's red pupils suddenly turned into cat-like vertical pupils. As her body became hotter and hotter, her consciousness gradually awakened from a long dream.

…

…

At dusk, the orange sky blends with the sea.

Waves beat against an isolated island.

A ragged couple struggled to park a shabby steam boat on the shore and stumbled onto the uninhabited island.

Due to long-term hunger and infected wounds, their bodies were already skin and bones, and full of wounds.

They traveled across kingdoms, snow-capped mountains, deserts, and oceans, and witnessed ghost ships, tsunamis, deep-sea titans, storms, avalanches, wars...

These two weak guys went through two years of adventure in this dangerous world.

And all of this is for this day, to be able to meet the legendary prophet, the great sage, the last witch in the world, the destroyer and guardian of the sea - Witch Angela!

The long-cherished wish and journey of many years finally have a result.

The frail husband pulled out the red crab that was biting his lips and his own flesh and blood, then spat out the salty sea water in his mouth.

The sea breeze blows gently.

His soulless eyes and messy green hair like seaweed bloomed with brilliance again:

"Finally, we're here!"

"We're finally here!!! We're saved!"

The husband opened his arms excitedly and cheered.

However, his wife beside him was holding the girl in her arms, shaking uncontrollably.

"No, no, no..."

In this witch's residence, an indescribable stench of decay and blood irritated their noses.

The husband looked forward and his pupils contracted instantly.

According to legend, Angela is an elegant witch whose residence is always full of flowers and her house is filled with precious books and rune stones.

However, what they saw before them at this moment was only a pile of rotten corpses.

People filled these islands like infected livestock.

Corpses, corpses, the witch's residence is filled with countless corpses...

This stinking black corpse is covered with strange black tentacles and black stripes.

In addition, strange bright red flowers grew on the land, constantly absorbing nutrients from the corpses.

These densely packed corpses with flowers and tentacles covered the entire island like mud.

Above these squirming corpses, you can see the twisted, struggling faces of the corpses before death, and faintly hear the strange sound of whales.

The excitement in her husband's eyes instantly turned into fear.

The scene before him was still horrifying to him, even though he had experienced countless adventures.

He recalled the legends of countless adventurers.

The witch's forgiveness and grace all come at a price. Only by offering enough sacrifices can the wishes in your heart be fulfilled.

The two supported each other and walked towards the center of the island.

Soon, they reached the center of the island.

A piece of white cloth covered the high pile of corpses.

On the white cloth, a white-haired girl in a white rose dress sat on a wooden chair, holding a book in one hand and a cup of black tea in the other.

She gently shook the black tea in her hand, took a sip, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she was immersed in the world of books.

Her movements were extremely graceful, as if the tragic scene before her was just a beautiful scenery to her.

Ice Witch Angela!

The husband choked up. He was just a third-level pharmacist, and his wife was just a third-level astrologer.

In front of the Ice Witch, they were no different from the corpses on the ground and the ants under her feet.

Absolutely, absolutely, you must not get close to the monster in front of you! Driven by instinct, the husband's dry feet kept retreating.

“Woo, woo, woo—”

At this moment, the husband heard the crying of the girl in his wife's arms.

Their children were crying.

The husband was stunned for a moment. Their child still needed good medicine, the witch's medicine!

This is also the purpose of their trip.

Finally, he mustered up the courage and took a step forward.

And the moment he took this step.

Snap!

The color of the world turned blue at this moment and froze!

Snap!

Snap!

Accompanied by three clicking sounds!

The scene in front of the husband and wife changed instantly and froze twice. They traveled through space twice out of thin air.

In just a moment, they came in front of the Ice Witch and posed in a pious prayer posture!

what happened?

Why do we do this posture?

The husband and wife were shocked. They could not understand the power before them at all.

White doves flew gently across the sky.

In the light of dusk, the witch closed the book, turned her head, and asked softly:

"What do you want? What are you going to offer?"

During the brief time she had been revived, countless adventurers had come to see her for power, knowledge, and love.

All gifts have a price, this is the witch's rule.

The husband did not explain much, but took out a Canary Family badge and a copy of "The Book of Seagulls" from his waist.

Then, the husband and wife both knelt down and pounded their heads on the ground:

"Dear witch, I am from the Canary Family of the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom.

We are willing to exchange a Canary Family badge and a forbidden book written by our grandfather on how to tame sea beasts for the medicine to cure our daughter!"

The witch took the badge and the book, and raised her lips:

"The Canary Family's books, are you willing to betray your family in exchange for the medicine?"

The Canary Family is the right hand of the Golden Flower and Bird Kingdom. The huge Canary Family strictly controls any books.

The Ice Witch lifted her long legs and lifted her hood slightly, revealing her bright red eyes beneath the hood:

"Remove the cloth from your children."

"Follow your orders, great witch!"

The wife carefully lifted the bloodstained cloth from the girl in her arms.

In her arms was a beautiful girl with emerald green hair and eyes like flowers.

However, on its slender neck, a red rose was growing wildly.

The thorny flower stem covered with poisonous thorns was like an infinitely extended poison needle, piercing her collarbone, legs, and cheeks, and firmly taking root in her fragile heart.

Woo! Woo!

A piece of cloth was stuffed in the girl's mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue out of pain.

"uh-huh?"

The witch gently hooked the root of the flower with her hand, trying to hear the girl's painful cries as her flesh was pricked by the thorns!

However, the girl in front of him had no expression on her face.

The pain was enough to make a grown man kneel down and cry, but the girl didn't react at all.

The girl has adapted to this endless pain.

"Born with blood disease..."

The witch took another sip of her tea.

The husband asked anxiously:

"My lady witch, can we exchange our offering for the medicine to cure the blood flower disease?"

The witch replied:

"The Flower Maniac's top-notch medicinal material. It's quite interesting that you two were able to bring her to us~"

The Ice Witch continued:

"However, this is not an ordinary blood flower disease. This is the root of the evil that your Canary Family contracted due to excessive exposure to forbidden cracks."

She said expressionlessly:

“Unless I raise her myself, I can extend her life by five years. However, this price is not something you can afford.

Find a place with blooming flowers and bury her. Even with the best medicine and surgery, she can only live for two more years at most. "

Bury... The husband's pupils suddenly contracted and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Her child was just born!

Why! Their patriarch, the great sage of the Witch Sea, the prophet, could not save her daughter!

The husband retorted loudly, hoarsely:

"No, witch lady! Please, I am still willing to offer my soul, flesh and blood, and more offerings, even if it is only to extend her life by three or two years!

Let her have a normal childhood! Please!"

The husband cried in pain, banged his head on the ground, and tried to hold the Ice Witch's feet, asking for help.

"I am willing to give everything, Witch-sama. She is our only child!"

The wife followed her husband's example and banged her head on the ground, trying to gain the witch's sympathy.

However, the Ice Witch's eyes remained unchanged, not even a trace of pity or sympathy.

The Ice Witch, who has experienced a long time, is not only the guardian of the Witch Sea, but also the most ruthless slaughterer.

All the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness in the world are unlikely to touch the witch's cold heart.

In this way, the two men knelt on the ground and prayed continuously until their heads were broken.

“…”

After a long time, the Ice Witch poured another cup of black tea and looked at the girl in her arms.

The girl in the cradle opened her bloodshot eyes and looked at her.

The moment she opened her eyes, the petals of the rose growing on her body were blown off by the sea breeze.

“…”

Looking at the scene in front of her, the Ice Witch's expression finally changed slightly.

She picked up a list.

The husband raised his head and glanced secretly at the list.

I saw that the list was full of portraits of little girls.

According to legend, the Ice Witch would kidnap talented girls and train them to become her followers.

She can see the future of every girl and know the talents of every girl.

This is the legendary power of the lamp.

"Maro Town, there is a better choice..."

The Ice Witch muttered to herself, and then snapped her fingers:

"Forget it, let's just make a prediction."

Bang!

Accompanied by a crisp snap of fingers, an illusory scene appeared in the light of dusk!

A sublime power of light blooms!

That illusory scene does not belong to this world, nor to the past, but to a future that has never happened!

prophet!

prophecy!

The husband and wife were filled with shock. They vaguely remembered what the old patriarch said, that the ability to manifest prophecy was a power that only those above saints, no, those above saints, and those close to gods could possess!

In this era of continuous decline, in the desolate land of Babei Country like the Witch Sea, there is still such a powerful existence!

Like an old camera, in the light, stories of the future flash one after another like a mirage.

Snap!

Snap!

Although it was extremely blurry, the couple could still see the protagonist of the story, which was their daughter.

Under the shelter of the Ice Witch, the little girl holding the big staff practiced forbidden life techniques, made medicine, and farmed day after day, and finally gained the recognition of the Ice Witch.

While scolding the girl, the Ice Witch drove the boat to the Black Land, the hometown of her old friend, and handed over the inheritance of the Flower Witch to the girl in front of her one by one.

Then, the two of them ventured together, walking on this dangerous sea.

The Ice Witch passed on all the witch knowledge to the little girl one by one.

Together, they dealt with the civil war between the Blood Blade Pirates and the Navy, and eliminated the many deep-sea humanoid monsters that were brought about by the forbidden experiments of the Navy and the Black Whales.

However, most of the time, the little girl didn't see anything. She could only see the Ice Witch coming back with the monster's head.

They spent a happy time together, during which time the Ice Witch took good care of the injured girl.

Finally, one day, the Ice Witch said goodbye to the girl, returned her to her parents, and told the girl to learn the forbidden knowledge of the Canary Family.

Under the horrified eyes of their parents, the two said goodbye and separated. The girl returned to the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom and spent some carefree time there.

Just like that, scenes flashed by one after another.

Hmm? The Ice Witch looked at everything in the scene with great interest.

The husband and wife looked at the heartwarming scene in front of them in disbelief.

Their child, covered in injuries, was able to learn the legendary pharmaceutical knowledge and walk freely!

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed. The little girl has grown up and become a talented pharmacist, a vibrant girl, but the childishness in her eyes has not yet disappeared.

Amid her parents' crying, she said goodbye to them and, according to the witch's promise, she went to the Witch Sea alone on a travel ship.

From then on, her beautiful life ended and a nightmare began.

The moment she arrived at the Witch Sea, her ship was attacked and she fell into the deep sea, nearly drowning. Finally, she fell into hunger and looked for food in Moonstone City.

In the midst of boundless hunger, she killed the Black Rabbit Gang's human traffickers, got the money, exchanged it for food, and continued to move forward for the sake of her 'teacher'!

On the Sea Flower Island, in order to seize the Dragon's Breath Grass, she met the genius Little Red Riding Hood and Fenrir of the Blood Blade Pirates. The two reached a cooperation and fought against the Black Whale Pirates together.

She became stronger, but this was still far from enough to revive the Ice Witch.

In order to gain greater power, he went to the land of the sirens, and under the instigation of the sirens' voices, at the cost of ten years of his life, he activated the flower that blooms in blood despite lacking strength, defeated the Crazy Shark's army, and became famous overnight, appearing in the White Dove newspaper!

After becoming famous, she and the Blood Blade Pirates were on the road to the Black Land to make medicine, but were attacked by Carol.

At the last moment, she used the flower to bloom in blood again and barely controlled Carol.

However, all the crew members of the Blood Blade Pirates, whom she had just met, died in the sea, and in the end, she was the only one who survived.

After this incident, the girl desired more and more powerful strength.

In order to no longer need help from others and to become stronger, she continuously consumed the power of her lifespan and learned the forbidden blood magic techniques of the Blood Blade Pirates.

However, the abuse of power made her blood disease more serious, her mind more tortured, her wounds more and more, and her hair became grayer and grayer...

On countless nights, the pain from the blood flower disease drove her crazy. To relieve the pain, she hid in a dark corner and kept stabbing her thigh with a sharp blade until dawn, when the pain from the blood flower disease subsided...

And so it went, the days of pain and loneliness, again and again, day after day.

She was alone in the sea, without any friends, and people either feared her or wanted to kill her.

And the few people who approach her with good intentions will eventually be killed by the Black Whale Group.

She watched as the warriors of the Blood Blade Pirates, whom she had never met before, died one after another in order to protect the 'Witch'.

The Blood Blade Pirates waged a protracted war with the Pirate General Dragon Tamer for the legendary card of 'Flower Witch' and for revenge. Amid the deaths of countless people, the girl got the blood-stained legendary class card.

She attempted suicide again and again, but she stood up again and again because of her "teacher".

Just like that, she was promoted to a legend, using her life as energy, dragging her heavy body and continuing to move forward.

After being promoted to Legend, her strength grew rapidly and her fame grew.

He blew up the supernova Bree of the Ice Demon Pirates, killed the Black Lantern Dragon of the Rift Sea, fought Carol of the Black Whales, and fought with the disciple of the Scourge Messenger, and finally defeated her!

In the end, the childishness in her eyes completely disappeared, and she became a cold-blooded and ruthless witch, just like the legendary Flower Witch!

Powerful and cold!

However, despite this, she still found it difficult to contend with the power of the Black Whale Group in the ocean.

It's all too late.

The Black Whale Group, which completed the black blood experiment, has become a disaster among disasters!

Under the surging waves, the Black Whale Group held a ceremony, devouring the entire ocean, and the ancient deep-sea god named Big Whale began to descend upon the Witch Sea!

Only by resurrecting the teacher can the crisis of the Witch Sea be saved!

She knew that the teacher's prediction was destiny, an unchangeable fact, and an unchanging fate.

Finally, in the dark waves, she dragged her scarred body, followed her teacher's instructions, and joined forces with the Blood Blade Pirates to arrive at the Coffin of the Sea!

Along the way, they were chased by the seven pirate generals, the Dragon Tamer King, and Doctor Black Death.

In the end, she fought one against two and defeated the combined forces of the Dragon Tamer King and Doctor Black Death at the cost of twenty years of her life, becoming famous all over the world!

Finally, the scarred, dying girl came to the witch's coffin, and gently stroked her teacher's face with her thin hands, awakening her sleeping teacher.

"Teacher, I found you..."

At the girl's gentle call, the witch opened her eyes again.

Finally, the girl, who was almost burned out, lay in the teacher's arms.

The husband and wife watched the horrifying scene.

Their child can actually become a legend in the future!

In this era where cracks are rare, the Canary Family has become a legend and can be considered a middle-class family that cannot be underestimated.

However, what scares them even more is the future of their children.

In the future, their child becomes a poor person who is plagued by pain and attempts suicide.

Because of her teacher, the Flower Witch, who had no great aspirations in her life, she was forced to embark on a journey to save others and let countless people die for her.

In the future, she will have countless suicidal thoughts and self-abuse countless times.

Moreover, after consuming so much of her lifespan, after resurrecting the person in the coffin, her lifespan would only be one year at most...

The husband and wife couldn't stop trembling as they looked at the dying girl in the cradle.

Is it possible that her child will have to live such a miserable life from the moment he is born?

The husband asked:

"My Lord Witch, are these things bound to happen?"

The Ice Witch said firmly:

"The fate of the sea is vague, but once it begins, no one can defy fate."

In the future, can you save me from the coffin? The Ice Witch looked at the baby girl, and then glanced at the white-haired, blue-eyed girl from Marlow Town who was chosen from the list.

At this moment, the witch made a new choice.

She swirled the tea gently, a faint smile on her lips.

The witch stroked the girl's forehead again and said condescendingly:

"A nice tool to revive me."

After she finished speaking, she looked towards the island filled with corpses:

"Fate cannot be defied. The power of the whale has already permeated this sea."

“As you can see, this sea will encounter an unprecedented disaster at some point in the future, and an ancient deep-sea god from another world will rule this sea.

And I will fall into a deep sleep soon, I must prepare a tool that can revive me and collect the Witch Relics of Tide for me..."

After saying that, the Ice Witch put down the tea, stood up, and made a gesture to take over the 'child'.

The husband and wife looked at each other and stood there in a daze.

They couldn't understand what the witch was saying, but they knew that the witch was offering them a deal!

At dusk, the Ice Witch lifted her hood, her hair was like dazzling golden threads, like a goddess from heaven saving the world:

“We are willing to accept your request to save your child and prolong her life.

However, as a price, you must sacrifice the fate and future of your child. She will have to live out her short life according to the fate I have described and become the tool of my resurrection...

No one can defy fate.

If you wish, then make offerings.”

The Ice Witch bathed in the light, like a saint in a monastery, quietly waiting for a reply.

The husband and wife were stunned.

Even if the witch saved the child, their child would die in agony.

The Ice Witch's prophecy was flawless.

Perhaps the process will change slightly, but the result will not change at all!

Destiny cannot be defied.

Do they want their children to live a life that is bound to be miserable?

The husband was in hesitation.

However, when he heard the child crying, he couldn't help but take a step forward.

He didn't want to die in front of his child.

To die as a hero of the sea might be a good choice for her.

"I'm sorry, Finn..."

Tears welled up in the eyes of the husband and wife.

They swore that they would keep the child away from the dirty deeds of the nobles of the Golden Bird Kingdom and let her grow up healthily.

Finally, the husband knelt on the ground and handed the child to the witch in front of him in the future.

The moment the girl was held in the witch's arms, she burst into tears.

Looking at the child in her arms, the Ice Witch took a step forward, came between the two of them, and said:

"I have received your offering."

After saying this, the Ice Witch looked at the girl in her arms and smiled slightly:

"Fin, your name is Fin, right?"

"In the future, I will train you to be as powerful as the Flower Witch..."

"When I wake up next time, I will greet you in person, Finn..."

In the glow, the Ice Witch gently infused the girl with healing spiritual power.

The husband and wife were silent for a long time, supporting each other, and they mustered up their courage and said:

"Lady Witch..."

They wanted to exchange the witch's promise not to torture their children.

The Ice Witch raised her lips:

"No, I will not raise her as my daughter. She is just a tool for my resurrection."

"As fate has it, in the future, I will let your child die in the waves of the sea..."

The husband and wife froze but did not protest, the Ice Witch was cold and heartless, they were lucky to be able to raise their child.

After the transaction was completed, the Ice Witch then looked into the distance.

At this time, the cold wind blew gently.

A monster burning with blue flames suddenly appeared before her eyes!

Dream……

Is this a dream of memory?

The entire dream began to shatter like glass!

The Ice Witch waved her hand lightly, condensing an ice crystal sword.

She has already seen that after countless trials in the sea, the Flower Witch bearing the rose flower will come to greet her!

brush!

The dream is shattered.

After waking up, the Ice Witch gracefully swung the ice sword in her hand and cut through the neck of the blue beast.

Blood and snow splattered!

However, at this moment, the Ice Witch was more concerned about Chen Qi and Fen in the distance than the blue beast in front of her!

She looked at Finn, and the scenes from her dream kept flashing through her mind.

Why didn't Fern's hair turn white? Why were the blood spots on her body so rare?

Why is Finn's witch outfit still green?

Why was there no fear in Finn's eyes?

Why is Finn so weak?

No one can defy fate, no one can defy prophecy!

Why, the scene in the dream did not come true!

Most importantly, who is that little black-haired guy with pitch-black tentacles growing from his back next to Finn, that damn humanoid monster full of deep-sea breath?

Is there such a person in the prophecy?

The Ice Witch's worldview suffered a huge impact at this moment!
