NOVEL NEXT Chapter 235: Witch's Coffin
Go out? Jin Li's smile momentarily faltered, revealing her discomfort.
Since its establishment, the Ice Devil Pirate Group had been highly affiliated with the witches.
The group upheld the creed of the Ice Witch, continuously seeking lost relics and hunting the dangerous creatures of the sea.
Individuals like Chen Qi were among their primary hunting targets.
In the newspapers, they unreservedly praised the witches.
Whether it was discussions about the relationship between the Black Hunter and Flower Witch or debates about the Flower Witch's character.
No matter the paper, the Ice Devil Pirate Group's stance firmly supported Fen.
Moreover, their leader, the shapeshifter Palu, also showed ample goodwill towards Fen.
In the recent big event of the Blood Blade Pirate Group, they had specifically traveled to the mutated sea area to block the ships of the Black Whale Group.
However, Jin Li overlooked two points.
First, Fen didn't read the tabloids; the recent visibility of the Ice Devil Pirate Group simply didn't make the papers.
Second, Fen didn't know her.
Even though she was the second in command of the Ice Devil Pirate Group, Fen didn't know her at all.
Indeed, she didn't care either.
Jin Li adjusted her gold-framed glasses, puffed out her chest, and cleared her throat:
"Um, I am..."
Was I being impolite... The Flower Witch blinked and said in a lighter tone:
"Um, nurse, could you step out for a moment? Sorry, we have some important private matters to discuss."
Fen seriously said, what she was going to discuss next was about the Ice Witch.
If ordinary Transcendents knew about these matters, it would only bring more trouble.
Chen Qi coughed twice, interjecting:
"Fen, this is the second in command of the Ice Devil Pirate Group, Jin Li."
As a legendary merchant! Jin Li perfectly matched her name! She truly was both wealthy and beautiful!
As a mysterious merchant, Jin Li's store contained countless rare materials and Extraordinary Props!
And, Jin Li herself possessed the traits of exploding with Gold Coins and randomly generating Extraordinary Props!
As a rare treasure chest monster that everyone wanted to strike, Jin Li was a highly renowned figure in player forums!
Both ghosts and humans wanted to earn Gold Coins from Jin Li.
If Chen Qi were a witch, he would have already started thinking of ways to exploit his witch status to harvest Extraordinary Materials from Jin Li.
"The Ice Devil Pirate Group's second in command..."
Fen was momentarily stunned.
Jin Li's gold coin eyes sparkled, as she extended her hand again:
"Yes! I am Jin Li, a great pirate of the Ice Devil Pirate Group."
"Pirate!"
Fen involuntarily recoiled, looking at Jin Li with a mixture of disgust and fear.
Jin Li silently withdrew her hand.
Chen Qi explained again:
"The goal of the Ice Devil Pirate Group is to explore relics and unearth history. The traveling poet we met earlier is our leader."
Fen pinched the anxious little black flower on top of her head and nodded:
"I sort of understand, but is there something you need? To be frank, I can't provide much help regarding information about the Witch's Trial Grounds."
Jin Li rubbed her hands together:
"Miss Witch, we need your help. Actually, we have discovered many clues about the Land of Trial! Of course, as history has shown, we will never seize the Witch Relics from your hands!
Also, we wanted to remind you, nowadays, within the Blood Blade Pirate Group, many are seeking information on you."
"Not seizing relics... seeking... us?"
Fen clenched her fists.
The Ice Devil Pirate Group's understanding of witches far exceeded her expectations!
Chen Qi lowered his head, his thoughts drifting afar.
At present, the Blood Blade Pirate Group was mired in the thick of war. Whether it was the veteran, Gail, or the Bloody Lady, they were compelled to be on the front lines of the conflict.
Staying with the Blood Blade Pirate Group wasn't a clear choice for the long term.
I also had to make a stronger move... Chen Qi lightly tapped the bedside table twice, bringing the topic back on track:
"Okay, Fen, back to your dream, your teacher, after embracing you, what happened next?"
Fen was still a bit unsure:
"It's about the Ice Witch's information, regarding my teacher's information, I don't know if I can tell her..."
Chen Qi added:
"The Ice Devil Pirate Group, as a pirate group researching history, knows a lot. Based on my conjecture, they know the Ice Witch is your teacher, as well as the functions of the Witch's Trial Grounds and the Relics..."
The Witch's main storyline is a prerequisite for the Witch Sea main storyline; except for the Flower Witch, both the Ice Devil Pirate Group and the Black Whale Pirate Group are also pathways to unlocking the main storyline.
"???"
Jin Li blinked:
"Mr. Hunter, you seem to know quite a bit about our pirate group."
"Indeed, he knows a lot!"
Fen interjected, her tone containing a hint of barely concealed pride.
Because the individuals of your pirate group are all significantly important NPCs... Chen Qi coughed a couple of times:
"I am a newspaper maniac, often reading about the Ice Devil Pirate Group in the Witch Times and Sea Lion Times."
"I see..."
Fen nodded and said:
"My teacher, from the depths of the sea, embraced me, and she told me, in order to counter that Deep Sea Ancient God, to prevent the Witch Sea from becoming the Lost Land, for the sake of my future, I must locate all the Witch Relics of the Trial Grounds..."
Fen shivered involuntarily, hugging herself.
Your journey continues on empire
As if in front of her, there truly were icy waters, with a ghostly woman's hair gently brushing against her face.
