Chapter 897 – Witch Seniors
by spirapiraChapter 897 – Witch Seniors
Taking advantage of the gathering not yet having officially begun, Mo Lan gently turned the hand of the magical clock by the door of her Witch’s home to the icon representing “personal tent.”
Opening the door, she arrived inside her personal tent at Explorer’s Camp.
She didn’t linger in the tent, heading straight out and walking toward Starault Hall.
During this period, many high-ranking Witch Explorers had returned to Valen to prepare for the gathering.
As was customary, they would organize their accounts of cosmic travels and records of other-world explorations from recent years into volumes, placing a copy on their personal bookshelves within Starault Hall for other members to peruse.
Mo Lan planned to copy down and read through as many of these new materials as possible before the gathering officially began.
Getting an advance understanding of what other witches had experienced over the years would help her quickly identify those seniors who might possess the knowledge or resources she needed, making it easier to seek guidance and conduct trades during the gathering.
The moment she stepped into Starault Hall, Mo Lan keenly noticed that several new bookshelves of varying shapes seemed to have quietly appeared within the hall, already laden with numerous scrolls and volumes—likely the new findings brought back by recently returned members.
She headed toward the area where her own bookshelf was located.
As she passed by Senior Traci’s bookshelf, she noticed two senior witches dressed in traditional witch robes standing before it, conversing in low voices.
Hearing Mo Lan’s footsteps, both looked up at the same time.
Out of respect for her seniors, Mo Lan smiled and nodded in greeting.
To her surprise, the witch with brilliant golden hair and vivid blue eyes brightened slightly, a warm and knowing smile spreading across her face as she spoke softly, “You must be Moira?”
The witch beside her—black hair swept up in an elegant chignon, wearing a delicate monocle—also nodded with a smile. “Hello, Moira. I’m Cecilia, and this is Pushila.”
Hearing these two names, Mo Lan was momentarily stunned, but the relevant information immediately surfaced in her mind, and a deep sense of reverence rose within her.
The first time she had encountered these two names was in the Famous Witches section of the Mo Lan could still clearly recall the accounts of their deeds written in the
“Cecilia, ranked third among the Book Witch’s twelve Apprentices, universally recognized as the ‘greatest Alchemy Witch.’
She was deeply involved in the design and deployment of the defensive magic formation of the Wilds, rendering distinguished service in the witches’ occupation of the Wilds.
During her time studying under the Book Witch, she assisted her Instructor in distilling and systematically integrating the previously scattered and unwieldy body of Witch Alchemy Magic knowledge, establishing a complete and rigorous theoretical framework and practical system for Witch Alchemy Magic.
The works she authored—《Basic Alchemy Theory》Mo Lan could still clearly recall the accounts of their deeds written in the Mo Lan could still clearly recall the accounts of their deeds written in the Mo Lan could still clearly recall the accounts of their deeds written in the Mo Lan could still clearly recall the accounts of their deeds written in the Mo Lan could still clearly recall the accounts of their deeds written in the Mo Lan could still clearly recall the accounts of their deeds written in the Mo Lan could still clearly recall the accounts of their deeds written in the,Mo Lan could still clearly recall the accounts of their deeds written in the Mo Lan could still clearly recall the accounts of their deeds written in the—remain essential classics for all witches studying Alchemy Magic to this day. She is hailed as the pioneer and founding figure of Witch Alchemy Magic.
Pushila, ranked fifth among the Book Witch’s twelve Apprentices, reverently called the ‘Merciful Healer’ by later generations of witches.
She is, without dispute, the most powerful Healing Witch in all of Witch history.
During the darkest era of persecution against witches, she followed the Book Witch through countless dangerous lands, healing thousands upon thousands of witch kin who had been tortured and left on the brink of death, with miraculous medical skill and fearless courage. She was a beacon of hope for countless witches in their darkest despair. After the Wilds gained independence, she systematically organized and refined the body of knowledge related to Witch healing magic, combining her own rich practical experience to complete classic works on healing magic such as 《A General Theory of Healing Magic》, Mo Lan could still clearly recall the accounts of their deeds written in the Mo Lan could still clearly recall the accounts of their deeds written in the,Mo Lan could still clearly recall the accounts of their deeds written in the, and 《Trauma and Treatment》, benefiting all future generations.”
These two seniors—living legends in their own right—were also among the earliest witches to embark on cosmic travel. Mo Lan had read the cosmic travel journals and other-world chronicles they had deposited in Starault Hall, and she knew well that although Alchemy and healing magic remained their greatest strengths, their scholarship was vast and wide-ranging. They were far more than specialists in just one or two types of magic.
To encounter them here, and to be recognized by them no less, left Mo Lan feeling quite flattered.
While Mo Lan was still rapidly reviewing the illustrious deeds of these two senior witches in her mind, Cecilia had already spoken up in a forthright tone, her words carrying undisguised admiration:
“The moment we got back, we heard that the Witch race has produced four remarkable Sorceresses in succession!
Hybrid Sorceress Sylph used her Hybrid Magic to cultivate the miraculous Witch Trees, allowing our race to grow several times over in a short period!
Blood Sorceress Lilith used the blood fusion spell to extract and concentrate the powerful bloodline talents of countless magical races into a single witch, forcibly making us witches the undisputed strongest magical race in all of Valen!
Devouring Sorceress Vasida’s devouring magic granted witches physical capabilities rivaling those of top-tier magical beasts, along with a near-limitless Mana recovery rate.
And you, the Card Sorceress—” She paused deliberately, her tone laced with amazement.
“Using Card Magic to establish the Dawn Society, you single-handedly defused the crisis in the Wilds, and made every power in all of Valen think twice before daring to make an enemy of the witches!
We’ve been wanting to meet you for so long!”
Beside her, Pushila nodded with a gentle smile:
“Card Magic truly is extraordinary, and so incredibly convenient.
Whether it’s spreading knowledge, acquiring supplies, or storing energy, it excels at everything.
The speed at which all of you have grown is truly astounding.”
Then she shifted her tone, leaning forward slightly with a hint of playful exasperation, lowering her voice to ask:
“By the way… is there really no way to raise the drop rates on those rare cards in the gacha pool just a little?”
“Exactly! Those gacha games in other worlds at least have a pity system! Have you really not considered implementing one?” Cecilia grumbled.
Seeing these two legendary seniors—figures of towering stature and brilliant achievement in Witch history—now showing such a lively, down-to-earth side over gacha rates, Mo Lan suddenly felt they were no different from the friends her own age who came to her complaining about bad pulls.
The delightful contrast made her burst out laughing with a “pfft,” and she relaxed completely.
Stifling her laughter, she shook her head. “No can do~ Gacha involves risk—if you really need a specific card, it’s safer to buy it directly from the Card Shop!”
Of course, even as she said this, she felt a twinge of guilt.
When checking the gacha data, she would often quietly use a tiny bit of her authority to set up a hidden pity system for those witches whose luck was absurdly terrible—the ones who had poured in enormous resources and gotten absolutely nothing—or for young witches whose resources were already limited, ensuring that their next pull would guarantee a card they wanted.
But this kind of rule-bending was absolutely not something she could ever mention openly.
