Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

"Are you also involved?" Triss asked.

"Yes." Louise answered briefly, without continuing to reveal too much information.

Triss paused, and suddenly said with emotion:

"It seems that the fates of the two of us are indeed very similar. This may be the reason why 'Madam Despair' chose you and me to walk through that door."

This is why Louise has always had lingering fears about the "Witch Sect". She started another topic:

"Tell me, what is your real purpose for asking me to meet you?"

"Oh, it's late." Triss sighed, stared down at the dark coffee on the table, and replied:

"I originally wanted to exchange the 'Silk Gland of an Adult Giant Widow Spider' in your hand, but I didn't expect that you had already been promoted to the 'Witch of Pleasure' of Sequence Six. It's too late to say anything now."

It's not too late. Although I was promoted, I didn't use the "silk gland of an adult giant widow spider", which is only used for collection... Louise knew it in her heart. Could it be:

"Hehe, even if I didn't get promoted, how could I trade the main ingredient of the Sequence Six potion to you?"

Triss smiled and said, "Because I will pay you a condition that is hard to refuse."

"Oh?" Louise raised some interest and asked curiously, "What conditions?"

Triss glanced at her and said, "The potion formula of 'Witch of Pain'."

Isn't this exactly what I need...Louis was inexplicably surprised, and asked, "How did you get the potion formula of Sequence Five?"

Triss smiled without saying a word, raised the coffee cup and took a sip, then shook the sapphire ring on her left thumb before replying:

"As I said before, the Extraordinary of the Witch Path has no secrets from me."

But I remember that this "0"-level sealed item is relatively watery... Well, no matter what, it also has the personality of a "0"-level sealed item, especially for the "witch"... Louise nodded silently Nodding, he seemed to agree with the other party's answer, and then asked:

"Is the recipe complete?"

Triss folded her hands on the table and said, "The only thing missing is the auxiliary promotion ceremony."

What about your self-confidence just now... Louise frowned and said: "Then its value will be greatly reduced. Without the assistance of rituals, it is easy to lose control during the promotion process."

Triss seemed to be aware of Louise's special interest in this, so she spread her hands and revealed helplessly:

"In the 'Witch Sect', every 'Witch of Pain' will be promoted under the protection of the demigod, and the promotion ceremony has always been kept very secret."

Then, she emphasized: "But it's still too early to say these things. The most important thing for me now is to collect the 'silk gland of an adult giant widow spider' through other means, so that I can smoothly advance to Sequence Six."

Louise thought for a while, and said, "Maybe, I can help you."

"But you've already been promoted to 'Pleasure Witch', haven't you?" Triss asked a little strangely.

"But my activities are not restricted in any way." Louise leaned back in the chair slightly, glanced at the maid of the prince's house who had been staring at the prince's house not far away, and said softly:

"I can help you collect the 'Silk Gland of an Adult Giant Widow Spider'. After all, we are friends, aren't we?"

Triss had a big smile on her face and said, "Of course, we are friends."

"If you can get another copy of 'The Silk Gland of an Adult Widow Giant Spider', I will immediately exchange the potion formula of the 'Witch of Pain' with you, no lie."

Louise raised the coffee with a smile, and clinked a glass instead of red wine, celebrating the conclusion of the deal, which temporarily strengthened the alliance between the two.

Then, she asked in a relaxed tone, "Did you come to me just for this matter?"

"No, but this is the basis of everything." Triss took a deep breath and said with serious eyes: "Didn't you just ask about me and Edsaac?"

"Now I can answer, he's in love with me."

"And sometimes I actually think he's pretty good..."

At this time, her eyes were full of confusion and fear: "It's like countless voices appearing out of thin air in your mind to brainwash you: you love him, you love him..."

I feel a little sympathetic to you now, but if it wasn’t for you, then it’s probably me who bears all of this, so you should go ahead… After the rich mental activities, Louise pretended to be surprised and asked:

"So you don't love Prince Edsaac?"

"Of course not!" Triss got a little emotional. She glanced at the maid not far away, then turned around, and said through gritted teeth, "I don't like men!"

"Recently, I feel like a puppet, being manipulated by invisible threads behind me, and thanks to this ring, I can realize and have the ability to resist all this."

When she said this, she stroked the wearer's sapphire ring on her thumb, with a pious and dependent expression.

Louise watched this scene, her eyes narrowed slightly, because she found Triss in this state a little strange.

Then, she thought that after the "Great Smog of Backlund" incident, Triss would rather become the "Original Witch" Chick's divine descendant vessel, and help Prince Edsaac take revenge... Is this "0—" 08", or is it the result of the deliberate guidance of the "Witch Sect"?

After thinking about it, Louise deliberately coughed lightly to wake him up from the strange state, and asked:

"Why don't you tell Ms. Despair about your guesses?"

Triss' eyes showed alertness, her body tensed a little, and she replied:

"'Ms. Despair' must be an insider. Sometimes, she looks at me very strangely, as if she is looking at a stranger."

Louise was silent for a moment, ignoring such disrespectful words to demigods, and asked instead:

"If the facts are as you guessed, even if you are promoted to Sequence Six, how can you escape from the control of demigods and invisible enemies?"

"I have my own way." Trissy did not answer rigorously, she emphasized: "Maybe I will need your help, but please rest assured, I will definitely give you a bargaining chip to satisfy you."

Louise smiled slightly and said, "For example, the potion formula of the 'Witch' demigod?"

Triss laughed "hehe" twice, unable to tell whether it was confidence or ridicule.

"Then let's take this next transaction as a new beginning of our cooperation." Louise said, "I will collect the 'adult giant widow spider's silk gland' as soon as possible."

"Waiting for your good news at any time." Triss stood up, stretched out her right hand and said, "But I will also search secretly, I hope your efficiency is faster than mine."

"It will definitely be a happy cooperation." Louise said.

At the same time, the two held hands together.
