Chapter 597 – The Old Witch’s Hatred

Chapter 597 – Old Witch’s Hatred
Brandu didn’t really believe in Saul’s words at first, and Saul analyzed with him all the suspicious actions during today’s wind demon invasion, which little by little dissolved the distrust in Brandu’s heart.

Nevertheless, he still thought that Saul, who dared to invade the lair of a third-ranked sorcerer based on his own speculations, was a bit crazy.

He was only worried that if Saul could not come back alive, then he would have offended the wind demon for nothing.

Brando left with some apprehension.

And Saul, who was full of excitement, immediately changed to a calm demeanor after he left.

The old witch waited on the first floor of the wizard’s tower, leaning against the wall, “Off to cheat again?”

Saul didn’t deny it, “Yeah, no matter what, it’s a former Third Order, the power on my side is still a bit thin, so it’s good to trick a Second Order.”

He even gave the old witch an order, “At that time, Brando will at most assist from the side, it’s impossible to make him really fight for his life. Only you can fight the wind demon head on.”

The old witch wasn’t surprised, as early as when Saul decided to fight back against the wind demon, she knew that she wouldn’t be able to run away either and would have to work for Saul.

But she still pretended to be dissatisfied, “Heh, why should I work for you?”

Saul spread his hands, “What are you babbling about? The only person …… here who has a life and death feud with the wind demon is you!”

“If I was an ordinary first rank sorcerer and held my tongue in the face of the wind demon’s robbery, then this matter would most likely be over.”

“And you’re different, you’re the one who’s wanted by the Wind Demon and the Firefly Lord throughout the realm. Right now, the Wind Demon’s strength is damaged, and at the same time, she has sent most of her men out because she’s looking for some kind of Wind Eye. Therefore, this counterattack of mine will most likely be the only chance for you to be able to kill Wind Demon back.”

Saul walked up to the old witch and looked condescendingly at the old witch’s face whose proportions were exaggerated to the point of horror, “You’re willing to let go of this chance to strike down your enemy?”

The old hag froze for a moment, and suddenly, she let out a loud laugh.

“hahaha, hahaha, ahahahaha!!!”

She raised her hands to her cheeks, her fingers twisting, her sharp nails leaving a trail of blood on her skin.

“Can’t let go, of course I can’t let go! I’m going to kill her, I’m going to kill her!”

Saul took a step back as he watched the suddenly insane old hag.

He was actually a little curious about what kind of deep hatred the old hag and the wind demon had.

At first, he thought that the old hag decided to hold on to her ambition because she was being pursued by the wind demon, but seeing that she still didn’t care about offending the wind demon after she changed her face made Saul guess that there should be another grudge between her and the wind demon.

It was just that the old hag who had always been secretive about her origins and origins might not be willing to tell him.

For example, Saul did not know the old witch’s name even today.

The old witch finally stopped laughing.

At this time, her face had been restored as before, and it was impossible to see that she had once scratched out a trail of blood marks by herself.

“I’m going to deal with the wind demon, Brando is helping you attract the attention of the other enemies, so what are you doing?”

Sol’s eyes curved into a crescent moon and she tilted her head, “Me, I’ll go to the magic storage pool built by the wind demon and use the pool she helped me build to complete my promotion.”

“Promote to the second rank.”

The old witch pointed at Saul from afar, “You little slicker, did you guess that the wind demon would come to rob the magic storage pool long ago, that’s why you built the pool at the top of the tower? And now you’re asking me and Brando to come together to clear the obstacles for your promotion?”

“Building at the top of the tower is only required by the building conditions, I can’t count that far yet.” Saul wasn’t embarrassed and explained, “Only if I also advance to the second rank will it be convenient to fight together with you.”

“The Second Order is not that easy to promote. Are you sure about drawing on the characteristics of your own locator yet?”

The smile on Saul’s face faded a little, “I think I’ve grasped it …… although it’s not good news.”

The old hag continued to press, but Saul didn’t discuss the matter of the locator anymore and turned to another matter.

“It’s been so long, I think your perfect body has taken shape, now let me help you remove the subsequent trace of contamination from your body.”

The old hag finally waited for the contamination eradication cleanup she had been waiting for day and night, yet she still couldn’t help but roll her eyes first at this point.

“You little slicker.”

……

With his manpower and plans ready, Saul took all of his conscious bodies with him and headed to the cliff where the wind demon was located along with the old hag and Brando.

The black tide in his body was completely sucked out by Saul, and the glowing old hag brought along her strongest witchcraft prop, the Byzek Magic Mirror. Brando, who hurriedly came from the compound, prepared three puppets for himself to use in rotation.

The old witch did not expect to leave in such a hurry. She had thought that Saul would at least wait for the wind demon to finish the preparations for the magic storage pool before going over to pick the peach.

However, Saul thought that the wind demon had made a sudden move to snatch the Demon Storage Pool, and came and went in a hurry, so it must have completed other preparations before coming to snatch things.

When the wind demon brought back the magic storage pool, it would need to be debugged plus a precautionary experiment at most, and then it would be ready to officially open the pool.

Therefore, Saul only gave the wind demon three days to perfect the experiment.

Although Lake Rhine was once under the control of Dream Maker Clark, it wasn’t too far away from the Wind Demon’s lair.

Otherwise, the wind demon would not have sent people over several times to test the waters.

Saul and his party traveled day and night, and arrived at the Wind Demon’s lair within five days.

It was thought that at this time, the Wind Demon with its heavy demon pool had only just returned.

The Broken Cliff itself was located in the middle of a mountain range. It was said that the other side of the mountain range was the territory of the Firefly Master.

They hid on another mountain that was slightly shorter than the Broken Cliff, carefully observing the movements on the Wind Demon’s side with the help of Penny and other means of observation.

“As you said, there are much fewer people here in Wind Demon.” The old hag used the Byzek Magic Mirror and was surprisingly able to observe the scene on the other side as well.

Sol didn’t say anything, he was still waiting for Penny’s feedback.

The Nightmare Butterfly’s task was more than simply observing the situation outside the cave, it also had to walk along the route where Justin had met the Wind Demon during his lifetime to make sure that the location of the Wind Demon hadn’t changed.

As for the magic reservoir, it must have been placed right underneath the wind demon’s eyes.

The wind demon’s strength was damaged and would try to hide it from everyone. And the pool for replenishing pure magic power could not be too far away from her location, as it would be out of her control.

Penny flew carefully through the cliff caves along the route that Sol had taught her.

It was mostly full of apprentices and first-order wizards, and there were exceptionally few people in here right now, but Penny needed to be on her guard.

What if any of the wizards just had the ability to see through the Nightmare Butterfly’s essence?
Or had parasitic goblins that existed equally between the real and the conscious?

If that was the case, it would just have to ask Sol for a one-click recall before the other powerful wizards arrived.

But the worst Penny expected didn’t come to pass.

There was just another contingency.

The wind demon had actually appeared in the passageway, and by the looks of it, it seemed to be heading out.

“Aiya, what is she doing heading out? Time is so tight, and instead of thinking of hurrying up to utilize the Demon Storage Pool to replenish her magic power, she even ran out to play!”

Penny muttered in her mind, indignantly hiding it, then watched the wind demon leave.

If the wind demon left, then she needed to wait for her to return.

Recalling Sol’s instructions, Penny carefully follows the Wind Demon and watches her leave the cave before lurking at the mouth of the cave and relaying the information she saw to Sol via her journal.

Not having determined the location of the wind demon yet, Saul was not in a position to act rashly, so he could only wait patiently.

Fortunately, this time the wind demon left and came back soon after. There was also a small bag in his hand.

Penny described it all to Sol.

“Just went to get a pouch and went ahead herself. Looks like she’s nervous about the bag.” Saul thought for a moment and instructed Penny to continue to follow.

Penny hurriedly followed the wind demon inside, and didn’t dare to follow too close for fear of being discovered by the other party.

He kept following the original markings and arrived at the wind demon’s room.

“Very good.” Saul, who had gotten Penny’s information, nodded, “The location has been determined.”

He turned his head to look at Brando, “I’m counting on you next.”
