The Witch's Imaginary Land: Redemption Comes After Sticking Together

Page 67

"It's a promise, okay?" Li Hui looked at the puffed-up Jiang Kehan ​​and agreed without hesitation. His smiling eyes made Jiang Kehan ​​realize that he was doing it on purpose.

Li Hui didn't give Jiang Kehan ​​a chance to refuse, and pulled her outside, leaving Jiang Kehan ​​looking helplessly at Li Hui's delicate profile, feeling a little nostalgic.

Chapter 98 This World

Witches don't need to go to Worry-Free Sky Island to buy their normal clothes; the nearby Sky Island Street is fine.

After all, aesthetics are more important than combat suits; sufficient strength is enough. If the fabric from her previous life hadn't been so thin for witches, tearing with the slightest movement, Jiang Kehan ​​would have saved that money by using sweet memories.

Li Hui dragged Jiang Kehan ​​along, transformed into a Heavenly Feather Dragon at the edge of the Sky Island, threw Jiang Kehan ​​onto his back, and slowly spoke.

"Even when you're studying, you should relax a bit. Don't stay cooped up in your dorm all day. Come out with us more often; you might see more of the scenery."

Witches don't grow through rote memorization; Kehan, witnessing the world is the first step to changing it.

Jiang Kehan ​​kept those words in mind, as she had recently felt that she was facing a bottleneck.

It's not that the rate of magic power growth has decreased, but rather it's about the understanding of spells.

No matter how detailed or flowery the descriptions in online courses and books were, the things Jiang Kehan ​​had never seen or touched before always hindered her.

That's why many students travel during holidays—they're also expanding their knowledge base.

Sigh, let's roll it up.

Fortunately, witch requests are usually handled by hiring people according to standards. As long as you meet the standards, you can accept the job immediately, instead of selecting the best candidates. Otherwise, Jiang Kehan ​​would not know how terrifying a witch could be when she gets going.

Jiang Kehan ​​was lost in thought when she looked down at the boundless land below and suddenly felt a sense of curiosity.

"Speaking of which, we all live on a floating island, so what's it like on the ground?"

In the unknown future, Jiang Kehan ​​saw many tall buildings, whose architectural style was completely different from that of the Sky Island. They were more orderly and revealed a vague danger.

She had some doubts; it might be a building from the mainland.

Li Hui's voice trembled slightly in the wind, like shattered ice. She spread her wings and glided downwards.

"The ground is not as leisurely as the sky island. It is a real city, known as the Earth Capital, where most of the alien races live, and where witches conduct military operations and large-scale production."

The atmosphere there leans more towards technology than magic, but many witches run their own agencies there, including departments of the Witch Organization.

Huh? This answer was unexpected for Jiang Kehan. She had thought it would at most be a large estate divided into smaller plots of land, but she didn't expect that there would be a different set of basic operating rules underneath.

"Technology?" She looked down with a hint of doubt. "But from here, I don't see any large buildings down there."

Since we need to develop science and technology, infrastructure construction is indispensable. However, Jiang Kehan ​​has lived here for so long and has never seen a large complex of buildings below.

"That's because the core purpose of the city is military, and the whole city is shrouded in a giant barrier, which even the Great Witch cannot force her way through."

Under the cover of the barrier, we cannot see the buildings, and the city is only the innermost part of the capital.

"The entire continent is bounded by mountain ranges; every piece of land outside of them belongs to a different capital city, and they are incredibly vast."

Do I really understand this world? Jiang Kehan ​​suddenly began to doubt herself; she knew absolutely nothing about this.

Sigh, because the terminal is open to other races, you need to get an A1 certificate to experience the full version. I was unaware that I had fallen into an information cocoon.

One day, I will go down there and see for myself what it looks like.

Filled with motivation, Jiang Kehan ​​grabbed Li Hui's scales, leaned down, and roared at her, "Is there anything special about that place?"

When Li Hui lowered to a certain height, the cage floated and stopped descending. Jiang Kehan ​​could see faint traces of fluctuation below.

She was familiar with this mark; it was created when space folded.

"If there's anything special about it, it's that you can see the real sky from the ground," Li Hui murmured, before taking off and flying towards Sky Island Street.

"The real sky?" Jiang Kehan ​​looked down in disbelief. Ever since she learned the truth about the starry sky, she had thought that there was no normal sky in this world.

"Yes, just like we can't see the Earth City, we can't see the Sky Island when we look up from the Earth City, but rather the real sky."

It is the true sky, pieced together from the remnants of countless torn universes, and also the awe-inspiring power of the witch.

Li Hui flapped her wings, quickening her pace, while explaining to Jiang Kehan.

I really want to see it, I really want to see it.

Jiang Kehan ​​clutched her chest, her eyes filled with reminiscence. Perhaps that real starry sky embodied her longing for the world she once knew, making her yearn to touch it.

"Then how can we get to the capital?" she asked softly, as if she were longing for someone.

"Oh, it's still easy to get to the ground. Near the Worry-Free Sky Island is the Infinity Tower that connects the sky and the ground—the Witch Tower. You can go down by paying a toll."

"It can be considered a privilege of us witches, since the Witch Tower is responsible for maintaining the space and daily teleportation."

Jiang Kehan ​​recalled the towering buildings, as numerous as stars, in the unknown future, and found it somewhat unbelievable.

Do those towers actually exist in reality?

A phrase suddenly popped into her mind—the anchor of eternity.

Piercing the sky and the earth, existing uniquely in the past and the future, the symbol of the witch, the Witch's Tower!

Wow, this world is crazy! Jiang Kehan ​​couldn't help but smile, her anticipation for the future growing stronger.

So, how many incredible places are hidden in corners of this magnificent world that I don't know about?

She was like a navigator encountering a new continent for the first time, her heart pounding with excitement, wanting to open her arms and embrace the world.

However, their smugness didn't last long before they arrived at Sky Island Town.

Sky Island Street remained unchanged. Jiang Kehan ​​followed Li Hui to the second circular area. This time, she no longer needed to rent a space bracelet, as she had also learned how to use a portable space.

Having arrived here without any prior knowledge, she already possessed enough strength to sustain herself.

The two found a custom clothing shop, which was rather quiet inside.

A witch is lighting alcohol and letting the flames climb onto a hanging garment. As the flames spread, the garment seems to come alive, rising without wind and changing color from the outside in, until the flames remain on the garment forever, becoming part of it.

She looked at the two people who walked in, tilted her head, and asked.

What do you two need?

"Get her a winter coat, one that fits her size."

Li Hui looked at Jiang Kehan ​​with a beautiful smile, straightened her collar, and spoke with blessings.

"Kehan, welcome to this world."

Looking at the flashy clothes, Jiang Kehan ​​suddenly realized that to this world, she was still just a country bumpkin, and there were still many miracles waiting for her to discover.

She couldn't wait any longer. She nodded slightly to Li Hui and spoke softly.

“I’m here, I’m here to seize the whole world, and you’re here too, Li Hui.”

At the end of 1998 in the Witch Calendar, Kehan ​​from Pingjiang officially stepped into this world.

The stage hasn't been set up yet.

But the fine rain washed over the soil.

Wash you away from history.

So, I opened my eyes and touched this unknown stage.

Narrow walls were everywhere.

Stumbling and staggering, in which direction should it send out its voice?

Within the silence, a silent cry is brewing.

It's fiery, igniting the entire stage!

I will carry my own obsession.

Draw your own unique dance steps.

The swaying dance movements depict a hunting scene.

After I fell, I saw light.

The stage begins to appear.

Goodwill is bridging the gap.

But who can pull you up?

Go to the center of that stage and make your voice heard.

Curl up.

Be alone.

In the dark, rainy night, I felt the warmth of tears.

Until her appearance broke down the barriers in your heart.

She hesitated, then reached out her hand.

But in that moment of hesitation, I had already memorized you.

What a magnificent duet!

How many memories have been left behind? How many heartstrings are hidden in the flickering light?

This will be a brand new beginning.

And so, at this moment, the sunlight streamed down as the group chatted.

Your stage is no longer shrouded in rain, but a fierce wind is coming.

The increasing challenges are trying to shake your resolve.

Shatter your steps,

It will take you back to that dark corner.

But you are just...

Gradually unfolding its presence,

The adaptor exhales its own breath.

Open your eyes, the world is within your reach.

And that god whose wings fell,

And you, who gave it your all...
