The warden who guards the witches

"The top witch, Abigail, is the current host of the witch coven and is recognized as one of the most powerful witches. Every autumn on the first full moon night, when the Blood Moon rises, She will hold a grand gathering in the Sabbat Forest where she lives, and invite all the witches whose names are in the gathering to go."

Sitting on a chair, Mirukinu talked leisurely while holding a cup of black tea.

"The Inquisition also knows this kind of thing... It would be better to say that everyone around the world knows it, but some people only regard these things as urban legends." Aiden sat opposite her, also holding a teacup.

They were sitting in the back room of the infirmary. There were only three people in the room, Aiden, Meluki and Dai Li. However, Dai Li just sat silently drinking tea. Only Aiden and Meluki were here. Questions and answers.

Precia's treatment has ended. After being injected with antidotes and sedatives, her condition quickly stabilized. She fell asleep shortly after returning to her human form from the state of a monster.

According to Mei Liu Jinnu, she only needed to be injected with hemostatic drugs for two days and she would completely recover after taking a liquid diet for a period of time. Aiden first asked people to handcuff her to a hospital bed outside to rest, and then put Mei Liu Jin Nu into bed. Take it into the back room and ask for information about the pendant that Precia spit out in person.

Regarding this pendant, Dai Li seemed not to want to...or not be able to provide information, but Mei Liujinu obviously knew something.

Meirukinu mentioned the "Witches' Gathering", and Aiden immediately began to search for information about the Witches' Gathering in the inherited memories.

The so-called Witches' Coven is a loose organization composed of a large number of witches, and it is also an annual event.

On the first full moon night in autumn every year in this world, the moon will inevitably appear bright red.

On this night of the blood moon, vampires, werewolves, and several kinds of monsters will experience a significant increase in power. Not only that, the release effects of many black magic will also be specially improved, and the production of potions will also become smoother.

Then at midnight on this day, Abigail, the recognized most powerful witch in the southern continent, the "Apex Witch" will hold a gathering in the Sabbat Forest where she lives. She will send out bats, crows and owls to almost all witches. Send an invitation, and the person holding the invitation can successfully reach the venue through the fog that lingers in the Sabbat Forest all day long.

There, witches will trade research results and items with each other, and there will even be auctions. As the host and organizer, the great witch Abigail will also impart some knowledge to the participating witches and even distribute some special " souvenir".

——This information comes from the witches captured by the Inquisition Bureau in the past. Of course, unlike S-class wanted criminals such as Dai Li and Precia, most of these arrested witches are of little fame and influence. Little people.

Although the existence of the Witches' Gathering event is almost completely public, the Inquisition Bureau and other similar institutions in various countries have never considered attacking the Sabbat Forest on this day to kill all the witches.

The Sabbat Forest is located in the center of the Southern Continent and is not within the territory of any country - strictly speaking, no country is willing to bring this place that is full of troubles and has almost no output value into its jurisdiction.

The place is filled with a strange gray fog all day long, and is home to countless monsters. It is said that except for the witches who participated in the witch coven, no one who entered this forest came out alive.

More importantly, the witches gathered together have enough fighting power to fight against a small country. The witches are basically self-interested to a certain extent, which also leads to the loose nature of the Witches' Coven organization itself.

Anyone with a little bit of brain can imagine that to deal with witches, they should defeat them one by one. To openly attack when the witches are gathered together is tantamount to declaring war on all the witches in the gathering at once, giving the other party a chance to join forces to eliminate themselves.

"That's right, I also participated in the witches' gathering before I was expelled." Meirujinu said quietly, "This annual gathering can reach hundreds of people. As long as you are recommended by the witches in the gathering, you can get Of course, there are witches who receive Abigail’s invitation directly after they become famous.”

"So what does this have to do with this thing? You just said this was the 'certificate of the great witch'?"

Aiden picked up the pendant made of black crystal, cleaned it and held it in his hand. Only then did he realize that there was a strange gray mist sealed in the black crystal, which was constantly changing shapes.

"Yes, among the witches who are qualified to participate in the witch coven, only the great witch chosen by Abigail will be awarded this certificate."

"So what's the use of this thing? Is it just a medal, and other witches have to salute her when holding it?" Aiden asked.

"It is said that with this voucher, you can see Abigail in person." Meiliu Jinu replied.

"You can't see her without this certificate? Isn't she the host of the Witches' Assembly?" Aiden couldn't help but be confused.

"She presides over the witches' gathering using the artificial humans she made by copying herself through alchemy. Of course, only a small number of people in the witches' gathering, including the selected great witches, know about this. Most of the people who have no eyesight know this. The Zaiyu still thought that they were seeing Abigail in person...after all, no one would specifically tell them about it. In the end, the relationship between most witches is just like that."

Aiden turned his gaze to Daly. It stands to reason that with Daly's level, she would not be unaware of this. He had heard Daly mention something about the witch gathering before, but Daly had never told him this information.

Most likely, the Inquisition had also interrogated her about the witch gathering, and what she provided was similar to those small witches.

But from what Mirujinu said, Abigail seemed to have given some privileges to great witches like her.

Daly caught Aiden's gaze and sighed: "Lady Abigail has done me a favor. I will not take the initiative to reveal information about her unless it is necessary. The warden should not embarrass me."

"I can't see that you are so loyal?" Aiden couldn't help teasing her.

"Even if I don't talk about loyalty, I dare not offend that person." Daly shook his head.

"Then how did you know? Have you had this before?" Aiden turned to Mirujinu and shook the pendant again.

"I don't, but my teacher does." Mirujinu answered calmly.

"I remember you said your teacher was..."

"Lamia, the 'Potion Queen' Lamia, she is also one of the great witches chosen by Abigail."
