Chapter 1533: Two options
Just as Su Xiao dealt with the witch, he heard the sounds of fighting in the corridor.
Hearing these sounds, the witch, even though the Dragon Flash blade was pressed to her neck, breathed a sigh of relief.
Less than a minute later, Amu walked into the bedroom, carrying a dazed boy in his arms.
Blood dripped from his hammer.
The guy suddenly tried to pull away, and Amu's eyes immediately flashed red and he clenched his big hands.
*Click!*
The young boy twitched, then went limp. His neck was broken by Amu. There were cuts on the bull's chest, but they couldn't even reach the "meat" due to its defense being too abnormal.
Amu fought very simply. He ignored the enemy's attacks and tried to hit him with his hammer. Once it hit its enemy, it would become slow, and the slowing effect would only get stronger with each hit, allowing Amu to hit the enemy with even greater ease.
It was a vicious cycle.
— The young swordsman from Kas was so weak, " the witch said with obvious disappointment. This young man was not her subordinate, but a servant sent by the neighboring city-state to protect her, however, this protector was unable to protect her and only gave up his life in vain.
Amu threw the boy's body to the floor and picked up a wooden statue from a table near the entrance, then bit off half of it and chewed thoughtfully.
As she watched the big bull eat a wooden figurine the size of her hand, all the witch could think about was how she could come out of this situation alive.
— Well, let's get started, " Su Xiao muttered and took out a metal collar.
— What's it? the witch asked and swallowed her saliva. She had an instinctive feeling that this collar obviously wouldn't bring her much pleasure.
— An artifact that allows you to establish a more trusting relationship, " Su Xiao replied as he finished setting up Endless Darkness.
The collar opened and small blue lights immediately appeared on it.
— We are all civilized people, can't we finish without such things? the witch asked and swallowed. Su Xiao's invasion was like a disaster. She just wanted to relax that night, but she was suddenly interrupted, so they also wanted to do something not very good.
— Of course we can, " Su Xiao replied, removing the collar and returning the Dragon Flash to its scabbard.
The witch immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Bubtney appeared at the window and looked out.
If anything happened, he'd stop her from doing something really stupid..
— Sir, are you trying to rob me or something?" the witch asked in a very calm tone, as if she had been in this situation many times before.
— I want to know something.
— And that's it? The witch asked and looked at Su Xiao in surprise. She had already mentally prepared herself for the worst possible outcome, but in reality it was all too easy.
— Where is the Land of Death?
The witch's expression immediately changed. She was afraid, and that fear came from the depths of her heart.
— I, I... I don't know.
It was a very clumsy lie. She obviously knew something about the Land of Death, the place where the Sword Demon sealing device was currently located.
The witch's eyes started to move in different directions, but from the expression on her face, it was clear that she didn't want to hide anything, but she was clearly very afraid of something.
— Really? Then I will have to become an uncivilized person.
— Wait, " the witch immediately said, and raised her hands. The expression on her face became extremely contradictory. This witch was clearly the weakest of all the witches.
— I - " She paused for a few seconds, then finally took a deep breath. — My name is Joan Isaiah, one of the white witches, the witches of life, who can control plants. My strength isn't suitable for fighting, but it allows me to help ordinary people...
Soon, Su Xiao understood the general outline of her situation. Isaiah was a white witch, but she wasn't a fortune teller. Her abilities had nothing to do with divination. It was customary to refer only such witches to white witches because they were the most powerful, but in fact white witches could also be those who had nothing to do with predictions at all..
Isaiah's power was very special. She could control the growth of plants. This kind of strength might seem very suitable for fighting from the outside, as it was somewhat similar to Hashirama Senju's strength, but it wasn't really like that. She could only accelerate the growth of plants and could not create something out of nothing, although she could accelerate the growth of plants in a very solid area, for example, all the fields outside the city were under her control.
Such an ability was very powerful in this technologically backward world, in fact, it made it possible to increase the yield of any crop several times at once. Because of this, this state didn't need to worry about anyone deciding to attack it. Every fall, it distributed food to its neighbors for free, and as a sign of gratitude, all neighboring states recognized this territory as neutral..
According to her, with her power, she provided food for more than a dozen cities in the area, but it was very weak on its own, and the current level of her ability was already the limit for her, she could no longer make her power even more powerful .
Because of this, all the neighboring states wanted to send their own people to protect her, but she immediately refused all such offers. She knew that if she accepted someone's 'protection', she would end up being a subordinate of another ruler, so she had been trying to push her strength to the next level all this time. The kid that Amu had just killed was a thug from out of town, and she had personally hired him, but his reputation had been blown out of thin air.
Of course, Su Xiao wouldn't believe just one of Isaiah's words. When he called over the Eye of the Apostle and gave the order to test her, he saw that although there were some discrepancies between what she said and the results of the test, basically the essence of her powers was really as she described it to him.
Previously, Su Xiao had been prepared for anything because of that wanted notice, but when he met Isaiah, his view of the world changed dramatically. This witch, who was more like a ripe peach, was not only timid, but also had a normal personality, and her behavior in the beginning was only a good disguise.
Of course, among the battle witches, Isaiah had a reputation for being a coward, she was considered a "disgrace" among them, some battle witches almost fainted with anger when they heard about her farming, and some even wanted to kill her so that she wouldn't harm the witches ' reputation, but none of them did I didn't dare eliminate her.
Even though she stood out from these black witches, she found a way to survive in this chaotic world, and she lived in comfort and warmth.
When Isaiah started to tell her sad story, Su Xiao stopped her. He only wanted to know the location of the Land of Death, and if he could find out about the other witches ' abilities, he wasn't going to listen to her story.
— Two options. The first: You're flying out of here, " Su Xiao said, and opened the window a crack.
The rain had subsided by now, and a cool night breeze was beginning to enter the bedroom.
— I choose the latter, " Isaiah replied immediately with confidence.
— Then tell me where the Land of Death is.
— Err~, " Isaiah immediately became embarrassed and started looking at him with her big cute eyes. "Sir, please don't be so rude. I just... Wait, give me some help!
Half a minute later, Isaiah was hanging upside down from the window, only Amu's hand was saving her from death right now, but as soon as Su Xiao gave the order, Amu would immediately release her.
— As Su Xiao started counting down, Amu began to remove one finger after another.
Given this witch's character, she would say anything if she was pressured to do so.
— Isa knows where the Land of Death is! She shouted, and Amu immediately picked her up.
— Isa? " asked Su Xiao.
— Yes, the black witch Isa, my good friend.
Isaiah didn't feel guilty about her friend's betrayal.
Su Xiao, on the other hand, had no intention of using Infinite Darkness on this witch from the very beginning. This collar was very special and could not be repaired, which required extremely careful care and use only in really necessary cases.
This witch, on the other hand, was very timid and timid, so he decided to get the right information out of her in the old-fashioned way.
