Chapter 352 – 352. Guess
"Does Master know where the gate to the Vampire and Werewolf Race is located?" asked Fu Xie Lan after finishing with the dish in front of her.
"Of course," Elder Huang Bao replied right then and there.
"The gateway to the Vampire Race isn't far from Mecopia," the old man added.
"What about the Werewolf gate?"
"The gate leading to the werewolf race territory, as I recall, that place is not far from the gate leading to the wizard territory."
"It's been a long time I haven't visited that region," said Elder Huang Bao again.
Fu Xie Lan just nodded in understanding.
"Regarding these two races, you don't need to worry too much. If I judge from my point of view, their abilities are far below yours."
"But even if I say that you guys stay alert. No one knows what will happen next, right?" .the old man explained again.
"How long does the silver blood moon have left, Elder?" Xue Ning suddenly asked.
"Silver blood moon?"
"If my calculations are correct, it will be in about four months or so," Elder Huang Bao replied.
Hearing that, anyone could tell, that Fu Xie Lan had only four months left to collect all the ruby star stone pieces. Very short time.
"If there were two Voltex, maybe things wouldn't be this complicated. We could split into groups to search," Ju Xian muttered to himself, but that caused those at the same table to turn their heads to look at him, but only for a few seconds and then look back at Fu Xie Lan.
After the previous talk, the girl was silent. No one knows what she was thinking.
"Master, I want to ask you something," said Fu Xie Lan looking at Elder Huang Bao who was sitting opposite her.
"Have you ever heard of someone who can absorb another's mana until the body disappears as well? Even that person can use the mana of someone who is a victim." Fu Xie Lan asked, the girl suddenly recalled the incident in the center of Kanca City when she was heading to the gate in the Ocarina.
Hearing the girl's words, Ju Xian, Wan Lie, and Xue Ning glanced at each other. They certainly didn't forget the incident when they had just returned from the human race, a gruesome sight when they were about to enter the wizarding race. A toddler who suddenly turned into a man amid witches who only seemed to leave a cloak lying on the edge of the forbidden forest.
"What are you saying, kid? I've never heard of such a thing," replied Elder Huang Bao.
"Since long ago, no one has ever been able to absorb another's mana and use it at will. I've only ever heard that one can transfer life energy to another's body, and even then it must be with that person's permission," he added.
"Except for that time, a bloody incident seven hundred years ago, a black witch suddenly appeared and tried to absorb all the mana that was scattered throughout the Artland World, all races, plants, and other creatures did not escape their reach. But it was done by the Ruin Ball, the monstrous thing created by those black witches," Elder Huang Bao explained at length.
Hearing the name 'Ruin Ball' for some reason Fu Xie Lan felt another tremor in her body. She seemed to be familiar with that thing and indeed felt as if she had some connection to the thing that Elder Huang Bao had mentioned.
"As far as I know that's the only one that can absorb other people's mana, Little girl. Other than that, I've never heard of anything like what you said earlier," said the old man again.
Anyone could properly digest Elder Huang Bao's words. Silence, no one made a sound.
"Have You ever heard of the hell serpent?" said Fu Xie Lan asking a different topic.
"Eh? What kind of creature is that?" asked Elder Huang Bao in confusion. In his entire life, this was the first time he had heard of a being with such a name.
Hearing Elder Huang Bao's response, Fu Xie Lan let out a deep breath.
"Where did you meet such creatures, little girl?" asked Huang Bao. Fu Xie Lan then told the old man everything, everything she went through while in the human race, and also when she faced strange creatures in the center of Kanca city with Teacher Liu, and when she was in Fairy territory against three black witches who riding a snake three-headed. "Even black witches roam the Fairy's territory too?" asked Xue Ning interrupting the girl.
Immediately, Wan Lie's sharp gaze turned to her.
Fu Xie Lan just nodded and then continued her story. The girl did not tell everything in detail, several incidents she accidentally passed, including the time when she got her wings and when she entered a cave behind a waterfall to get pieces of the ruby star stone.
Xue Ning was silent, as were the others, everyone was listening, no one dared to move, simply because they didn't want to miss any of the girl's words. Occasionally seen holding his breath and then heaving a sigh of relief.
Including Elder Huang Bao, his face wrinkled from time to time, trying to quickly digest all of the girl's words.
Until Fu Xie Lan finished everything, there was still silence. Everyone was lost in their thoughts.
"There's no mistaking it, the culprit is a black witch," guessed Elder Huang Bao.
"Including, the person who suddenly appeared in the center of this city," he added again.
"Hearing all that Miss Xie Lan said earlier, it looks like they are preparing big something," now it was Ju Xian's turn to speak.
"Right, I agree with you," Xue Ning said.
"But what?" she added again.
"Maybe something bigger than what happened seven hundred years ago?" Ju Xian guessed again.
"Heh, no kidding," Xue Ning said immediately.
Yet everything Ju Xian said seemed to be agreed by the others. Including Elder Huang Bao.
No wonder they had disappeared, not leaving the slightest trace. It turned out to be….. A rough sigh escaped his lips.
"But what caused them to reappear? Something must have triggered their movement," Elder Huang Bao muttered subconsciously.
Fu Xie Lan who was positioned close to the old man heard his words. Various thoughts filled her head again.
The feeling of being followed by someone just a moment ago bothered her a lot until now. Was the person following her one of the black witches gangs? Yes, They can, because at that time when she was interrogating black witches in Fairy's territory, the man wearing a black robe was suddenly killed without anyone knowing the culprit.
It's possible, that the black witches who followed her killed the man simply because he didn't want any information about them to reach anyone else.
When Fu Xie Lan connected all the events she went through with her Master, Elder Huang Bao's conjecture, could it be that the reason for the black witches to appear was because of her existence?
