The Witch

It was indeed as Mia said.

　　As they approached the center of the Dead water Swamp.

　　The strange trees were no longer dense, and the planks used for walking reached the end here.

　　A large lake in the middle of the swamp was occupied.

　　There are still a lot of "wet carnivorous plants" hidden under the lake, so it is impossible to swim forward.

　　In the center of the swampy lake, there is a dark gothic style building, which is the "Witch Academy", where the apprentice witches report their work.

　　In addition to reporting their work.

　　Every week, there would be a public lecture in the academy, which all apprentices had to attend.

　　Led by Mia, the group went around to a place that resembled a swamp dock.

　　A small wooden boat, soaked in water, covered in moss and full of frogs hopping on it, was docked here.

　　Not to mention two people sitting on it, Han Dong even felt that if he pushed the boat out alone, it wouldn't take long for it to sink.

　　"Is this boat rideable?"

　　"Just give a little tip."

　　Mia pulled out two coins from her pocket and gently placed them at the bow of the boat.

　　Only a moist water plant and vines were seen spilling out from the surface of the water.

　　Clinging to the hull, slowly building a medium-sized swamp fisherman on the boat, the appearance of the fisherman also blocked the hole in the boat's hull.

　　"Get in the boat."

　　The dark moon shone.

　　In the company of the swamp fisherman and the witch apprentice, taking a boat among the quiet and uninhabited swamp lakes was quite a different flavor.

　　The lake was so huge that at the current rowing speed Witch's Apprentice would need at least 20 minutes.

　　"Eat?"

　　Mia pulled a snack bag from her waist, filled with exotic dried octopus, bat jerky, snake strips, and dried jellyfish skin.

　　"No thanks."

　　Han Dong actually produced a slight intestinal peristaltic reaction when he smelled the strange smell.

　　"I usually don't share high-grade food like this with others, I'll just eat it myself then."

　　Mia ate it alone, and would even sip and lick her fingers from time to time.

　　"Right! You should be participating in the [Knight Training] preliminaries in three days, right?" Mia, who still had a curly octopus whisker hanging from the corner of her mouth, suddenly looked up and asked.

　　"Well."

　　"Too good! I've signed up too, let's meet up and go over then, we should be the only two involved in this freshman year, we can look out for each other."

　　"We'll talk about it."

--------------------------------

　　As the wooden boat gradually approached the center, Han Dong realized that the dark gothic style [Witch Academy] was built on an island that was filled with shallow water.

　　"Follow me, Teacher Kallonia should be in the parlor or office to receive your guests."

　　Led by Mia, they entered the area of the bizarre style schoolhouse.

　　However, after a search, the schoolhouse area was empty.

　　"Strange? Where are the people?"

　　"Where does the Witch Kellonia live?" Han Dong asked.

　　"The top area of the Sorceress Academy is the teacher's private residence; However, the teacher usually doesn't bring guests up there. Unless, the teacher receiving the guests is not an ordinary guest.

　　Could it be that the one receiving today is the [Great Plague Chief]!"

　　The relationship between the Great Plague Chief and the witch was well known to this group of apprentice witches living in the swamp, Mia actually got a little excited at the thought.

　　"Well, take me up there, I'll just wait at the door."

　　"Good."

　　Up the spiral staircase.

　　The closer one got to the top floor, the more one could smell the stench of a blistering fish eye.

　　When he arrived at the door of the [Witch's House], unexpectedly, the door with the skull pendant hanging from it was actually open a crack.

　　The wrinkled skinned head hanging on the door suddenly let out a hoarse voice, "Mia, what are you doing here? Who is this man?!"

　　"Teacher! He is Mr. Black and White's protégé and has come to you with a letter!"

　　"Looking for me? I'm very busy today, it's not convenient for me to see anyone."

　　Han Dong immediately answered, "Hello, Teacher Kellonia! I'm here to find the [Great Plague Chief], You guys go ahead and get busy, I'll just wait outside."

　　In response to Han Dong's reply, the wrinkled skinned head hanging from the door temporarily failed to respond.

　　Not long after, the wooden door slowly opened, gesturing for the two to enter.

　　"Let's go, the teacher has allowed us in."

　　Mia led Han Dong into the Witch's House.

　　A giant animal fur was used as a carpet, and various specimens of insects, fish, and amphibians hung on the walls.

　　In addition, on the hall stand, there were various glass bottle dipping samples (more like wine or kimchi), various animal eyeballs, whips, wings, and odd aquatic egg bodies.

　　And that's when.

　　The Great Plague Chief - Mowglani walked out of the inner bedroom while tying his belt around his trousers.

　　Followed by.

　　First, a wisp of near-liquid blackness spilled out of the room.

　　The [Witch] in charge of teaching Dead water Swamp and Witches - Kellonia Mason, slowly walked out.

　　This Deputy Head of the Department of Mysteries, second only to Mr. Black and White, was completely different from the rickety old witch with a huge eagle nose that Han Dong had envisioned in his mind.

　　The multi-layered black gauze braided long skirt, the

　　A perfect body with charm and curves.

　　Apply thicker purple and black eyeshadow.

　　Two jewel-encrusted skull earrings.

　　There is no shortage of lip studs, tongue studs, or nose studs.

　　Beautiful and enchanting, mysterious and eccentric, this was the ruler of the Dead water Swamp.

　　"So, it's you."

　　The Great Plague Chief instantly recognized this Mr. Black and White's protégé.

　　Last time, thanks to Han Dong's help in deciphering the Dragon Bone Wasteland's hidden treasure map, the [Plague Knights] had obtained an important treasure that raised the overall level of the team.

　　The Great Plague Chief's prejudice against Han Dong's 'supernatural' abilities was reduced by half.

　　As soon as they met, Han Dong immediately handed over the letter of introduction.

　　Who knew, the Great Plague Chief didn't even read it, and grimly did so on the leather couch next to the fireplace.

　　"No need for such a letter of introduction, Go ahead! What are you looking for from me, if it's "Plague" related, I can slightly teach you some techniques of practical application?

　　Since you're Black and White's disciple, you're considered half of my student."

　　Just as Han Dong was smiling while preparing to ask questions.

　　The witch waved her hand and four cups of odd tea with purple scent were placed on the table, gesturing for everyone to sit down and chat slowly.

　　"Thank you, Miss Kellonia."

　　Han Dong deliberately found a spot facing the Great Plague Chief and sat down.

　　Who knew?

　　The witch sat directly on the Great Plague Chief's legs, leaning sideways against the solid chest, completely unconcerned about the gazes of these juniors.

　　Such intimacy also made Mia, who was on the other side of the table, blush slightly, lifting her cup of tea and trying to avoid the gaze.

　　"Ask."

　　"Yes, I came this time to ask about the "Plague Variant" and the minor of another Fate profession."

　　"Huh?"

　　Han Dong's question immediately drew the witch's attention.

　　Mia, who was holding a teacup, was even more dumbfounded staring at this fellow student.
