Chapter 4105 Loyalty and Disloyalty
Flora didn't give Viggo a chance to speak before saying to Bella:
"Miss Elizabeth said that it would be very dangerous for the Radiant Messenger to force its way into the Maze, so we can only wait outside for the time being. However, Miss Elizabeth has already discovered the temporary bases of the Blood Spirit School and the Holy Son Alliance on the banks of the Serennir River, and they have obviously arranged for people to meet them outside as well."
"Let's go. The Glorious Messenger will stay here. You and I will go over there and check the situation."
Before Bella could speak, the black-haired witch glared at her friend and grabbed her sleeve:
"Flora, don't pretend I don't exist! You—you were just like them on Monday, you knew everything!"
Flora blinked:
“I’ve seen that cat before, but he’s always told us not to hold his cat form. I’m so grateful to you on Monday, otherwise I wouldn’t have had this opportunity. That cat feels so nice, doesn’t it? This is a rare opportunity, even Bella hasn’t had much of a chance to experience it.”
The female fortune teller beside him nodded; Shadcat indeed didn't like being held by these witches.
"Including you, that makes four. How dare you all be so bold?"
Miss McDonald, who was standing to the side with her mouth closed, heard her teacher say something that sounded almost like a groan.
"There are only 13 people in the council. What are you all doing?"
She pursed her lips, but knew now was not the time to discuss these matters in detail.
"After this is over, you must explain everything to me clearly! I'll go with you. It's not safe for just the two of you. I've had quite a few dealings with the [Holy Son Alliance]."
"Wei Ge, you don't need to do this time."
Flora stammered again:
"Well, actually, it's not just the two of us. Megan and Claire have already gone there. Claire said that she finally managed to advance to the twelfth level like everyone else, and she's determined to test her skills this time."
"Meghan and Claire?!"
Wei Ge's voice was already somewhat shrill:
"Why are there two more? Are they also in cahoots with you?"
Bella then corrected her:
“Wei Ge, you should say now, are those two also in 'our' group?”
"Six already, that's half! I don't understand, what exactly are you trying to do? How long has your little group been around? Well, half the people in the council actually know him? I thought I was in the minority who knew him, but it turns out I'm in the minority who don't! Is he really that charismatic?"
After saying her last sentence, Wei Ge felt that she could only give a positive answer, so she changed her approach:
"Don't tell me there are many more people besides the six of you who already knew him. How many loyalists are left in the council? Am I only supposed to trust Granny Cassandra?"
In Vigo's view, the old witch in the council would never allow someone like Shad to exist, and Granny Cassandra was an absolute loyalist.
But after she finished speaking, she saw strange expressions on Bella and Flora's faces, and Viggo stammered:
"What...what did I say?"
She looked at her student, the tall girl already understood, and whispered a reminder:
“Teacher, you said you can only trust Grandma Cassandra.”
Wei Ge immediately covered her forehead:
"Flora, Bella, are you suggesting that Granny Cassandra is also in cahoots with you?"
After asking the question, Vigo coughed violently again. Miss Rowling quickly took out some blood wine for her to drink, but Vigo didn't take the small bottle. Instead, she tightly grasped Flora's hand, so Flora had no choice but to answer:
"Actually, Grandma Cassandra knew him much earlier than Bella and I. Bella and I only met him last year, but Grandma Cassandra met him in 1853."
"So, in the council of thirteen, seven of them were already disloyal, right? Turns out, I really am the minority!"
Vig's tone was filled with disbelief and a hint of despair. She was loyal to the council, and even though she knew Xia De, she only thought about "enjoying" him secretly. In her mind, it was impossible for most of the council to know about Xia De and tacitly conceal his existence.
Then she saw Flora and Bella giving her strange looks, and Viggo felt her body go limp, but thankfully Miss McDonald caught her.
"What's with those expressions? What did I say? Does the Speaker know him too?"
"No, no, I really don't have that."
Flora immediately chimed in, while Adele, watching from the barn in the distance, wanted to say, "That would be great," but at that moment, she could only watch.
"Then what's with those expressions? There aren't just seven? Who else is there?"
Wei Ge felt a sense of absurdity:
"Does this mean that, apart from me and the Speaker, there are only one or two other loyalists left among the thirteen?"
Winnie really wanted to remind her that she was clearly no longer part of the so-called "loyalists," but Viggo didn't think she was wrong:
"I knew it! No matter how I tried to test them, I couldn't find that special person. You were all putting on an act with me, weren't you?"
Thinking of Vige's behavior some time ago, Bella reminded her:
"If you're really angry, you can choose to distance yourself from him completely. That way, you'll regain your status as a loyalist, and you'll have a reason to reprimand us like this. Viggo, our sister, when you were hugging and kissing him, did you ever think about being disloyal to the council?"
Wei Ge blushed:
"How can that be the same? I'm not leaving! Wouldn't that be letting you off easy? I want to know everything later. And another question! You haven't answered yet—besides me, how many great witches knew him before? Don't just give me names one by one, I only want numbers!"
Flora provided precise figures:
"Only 9 people know him, and with you there are 10, which is a round number."
Vigo's followers tried to keep their presence to a minimum. The information that had appeared in just a few minutes was not something that ordinary witch followers like them should know. Even Miss McDonald, who was a witch apprentice in training, felt that she had heard "forbidden information".
"Nine, which means that besides the Speaker and me, there are really only two left."
Wei Ge took a deep breath, and then finally thought of the most crucial question:
"Who was the first to meet him? Who lived in the same city as him? Who started all of this? Who concealed the initial secret? Was it you, the great witch who turned the council into what it is today?"
Bella and Flora both shook their heads:
"I already said, the two of us weren't even as old as Granny Cassandra. The witch who first met him was actually..."
Boom!
The loud noise drew everyone's attention, and the three great witches looked together into the blood-red maze. All the eyes covering the "Giant Warrior's" body were indiscriminately radiating light across the entire world.
Blood gushed forth, and the city crumbled, as everyone facing the colossal golem erected shields to resist.
After the "Caller of Gods" and the other three thirteenth-tier beings entered the arena, Hermons clearly realized that the invasion of the "House of False Humans" had failed. He was trying to unleash the full power of the relics to forcefully open an exit from the maze.
At this moment, the "Spark" embedded in the golem's chest burst forth with light, shining directly at Shad in front of him. Shad, who was in a state of fusion with Sylvie, had thirteen life rings floating behind him. The moonlight bursting from his "Moonlight Ray - Third Form" mixed with the energy of the "Life Ray" and, after passing through the [Withering Fire Ring], was also tainted with the light of decay.
The corrupting red moonlight and crimson life energy collided above the blood-red city, withering and life annihilating each other. Even the witches who were locked away from the outside world could feel the danger.
Last time, above the sewage treatment plant, Shad had just obtained the [Withering Fire Ring] and managed to suppress Hermons' "Spark Ray" on his own. But this time, the Spark is embedded in the Colossus's body, and the energy it emits is even more dangerous than if it were fired directly by Hermons.
Moreover, Shad sensed that something was wrong with the source of the fire within the giant's chest.
“There’s no time for anything else, Flora. You and I will go and support Megan and Claire. Grace and Helen, stay here and wait to meet the group from the Maze. Viggo, you and Winnie can stay here or go to the nearby lake. When I did my divination just now, I saw something happening in the lake.
Bella said, and then she and Flora leaped into the air. Vig looked up again and saw a giant, semi-transparent ship floating on the distant horizon; it was clearly the "Radiant Messenger."
"So, who exactly is he?"
Vige murmured softly amidst the rain of blood, and Winnie replied:
"Don't you already have an answer in your heart?"
Miss McDonald and Miss Rowling already had an answer, but it was so outlandish that they didn't disbelieve it, but rather dared not believe it.
Wei Ge pursed her lips, listening to the baby's cry that suddenly came from the world of blood mist, and watching the golden light on the "Infant Mother" spread to the "Giant God Weapon".
Golden light also appeared within the crimson glow emanating from the AllSpark on the Colossus's chest. Shad's corrosive red moonlight was pushed backward, forcing him to retreat continuously in mid-air.
Just then, the little unicorn that had gone to meet Vanessa and the others suddenly soared into the sky:
"Bad guy!"
Nine rings of destiny appeared behind Ellie, the brass-colored rings turning dark gold, and then transforming into a dark gold apple. Ellie didn't have outstanding energy-emitting abilities, but the chosen ones of destiny didn't rely on that kind of power.
