Chapter 184 The City of Faith, Istchi 2
Emnesia's crime was murdering a witch. In addition, she conducted many illegal experiments in order to obtain magic power and carelessly dumped the waste from those magical experiments into rivers, causing disasters to several kingdoms downstream.
Ist was once ruled by five witches, but now, apart from the Rose Witch Emilia, the other four witches have been murdered by Emnessia through scheming and trickery. Her aim is to seize the witches' magic power for herself and thus gain magic.
For her multiple crimes, Amuncia was sentenced to the punishment of forgetting her homeland and being exiled. She would lose her memories every day, but her body's instincts would eventually lead her back home. She would only regain all her lost memories when she arrived in East and was beheaded.
"I didn't realize she was so capable." Elena looked at the old newspapers in the library, which were from a year ago and contained stories about Emnicia and her punishment.
I've read reports from many media outlets, and they're all pretty much the same.
The Rose Witch Emilia accidentally discovers that Emnessia, who has no magical abilities, has learned magic. After investigating further, she finds out that Emnessia is the culprit behind the witch's disappearance a few days ago.
Irene sarcastically set the newspaper aside.
"Qin, what do you think?" Elena asked.
"I sit and watch."
"Do you think this is funny...?" Elena said speechlessly.
"That's what the book taught me. It said that this makes you seem more emotionally intelligent," Qin said seriously.
"Which book is so harmful? I must write a letter to complain about the publisher."
"The Complete Collection of Cold Jokes"
Okay, the problem lies with the reader. Who told you this book teaches you how to become emotionally intelligent?
“I’m asking what you think about Emnessia,” Elena said.
“It’s obvious,” Jean said. “If she has that ability, I don’t think ten Eves could stand against her.”
No matter what kind of conspiracy or trickery you have, you, someone who doesn't know magic, actually managed to kill four witches—it's like chopping vegetables in a vegetable garden, making witches seem like something you can find anywhere at a roadside stall.
A witch who was basically on par with an entire kingdom was silently killed by Emnesia. Four of them were killed by her—the teacher who reviewed the witch qualifications of those four witches should be ashamed of himself immediately.
Moreover, research that could allow ordinary people to acquire magical power...
She could do it all by herself.
Beatrice, that monster Dr. Slater, should just find a block of tofu and smash his head against it; he's a disgrace.
Although the people of East have always been proud of their magical technology, in the eyes of the two who have seen many places, they are far behind the almost fully automated magical powerhouse of Deomeia in the Garden, not to mention there are many more kingdoms beyond their reach.
Before entering East, Irena might have been afraid of East's mysterious national power, after all, it was unknown.
But once inside, that fear gradually disappeared.
The kingdom has only one witch—although the kingdom is indeed a magical powerhouse due to its past magical heritage.
The sheer magical talent of each citizen, coupled with the cutting-edge magical technologies, would amaze most kingdoms. But that's not enough…
Among the ranks of powerful magical nations, East should unsurprisingly be at the bottom, possibly even nearing the bottom—it's truly baffling why its citizens are so confident; perhaps they've been closed off from the world for too long and know nothing about other kingdoms.
It's not even a mid-level magical power, let alone comparable to Beatrice, the homeland of Jean—in conclusion, Emnesia is absolutely incapable of doing what has been accused of.
It's impossible to kill a witch or to conduct experiments to obtain magical power.
So the truth is the other side of the story: Emilia, who accused Amnesia of a crime, is very problematic.
"So, how should we save her?" Elena asked.
Everything requires finding a solution, not resorting to violence. Violence is only used when all other options are exhausted—although East is not as dangerous as one might imagine.
But just the fact that it possesses the magic to erase people's memories, and that the outside world cannot obtain any information about Ist, shows that this kingdom is definitely not simple.
The previous statement was merely a comparison with other powerful magical nations—as the saying goes, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; the existence of five witches in the past was enough to prove its magical foundation.
If we were to directly confront this behemoth, we would certainly not fare well.
That would be unwise.
Elena skipped over asking Jean if she wanted to leave and ignore Emnessia's problem. Even she, who didn't have Jean's compassionate heart, didn't think of running away—after all, Emnessia had been her friend for so long.
And... this guy still owes me money. Travel expenses, the cost of her knight's sword, and the cost of the potion ingredients.
If I die like this, who will I get my money from? I, Elena, never do business at a loss.
"Are you going to save Emnessia?" Just then, a timid voice came from behind.
"Huh? There's someone here?" Elena belatedly realized her carelessness; she thought no one was around... This is terrible; the locals now know about her plan to rescue the kingdom's criminals.
They used a concealment spell so I didn't notice. Because of Qin's radar, Elena usually doesn't waste magic on reconnaissance, so she hadn't paid attention to her surroundings.
wrong……
Since Qin is so calm... he must already know there are people around.
"You've been following me for so long, I wondered what you were up to..." Qin said unsurprisingly, "Are you a stalker and a wiretapper?"
"That's too much, no way." The moment the person removed the concealment magic, revealing short white hair, Elena hallucinated that she was Emnecia.
If you wear the same headband as Amuncia, the two will look almost identical.
“I’m just confirming whether you’re trustworthy,” the white-haired girl said. “After all, you’re the ones who brought my sister back.”
elder sister……
"Imnesia is your sister?" Elena asked. She had already basically confirmed it, since the two really looked alike, and Imnesia would occasionally mention that she seemed to have a relative in East, but couldn't remember their identity because of the forgetting magic.
“She’s my sister, of course—my name is Avelia,” Avelia introduced herself. “Do you really want to rescue my sister?”
