Chapter 103:

The Pure Witch

“Is it the one who turned well-known over 100 years in the past?” Aiden confirmed with Melusine, “Is she nonetheless alive?”

“She’s doing properly. Difficult dying just isn’t solely a subject studied by witches but additionally by all darkish magicians. Necromancy is among the byproducts of finding out this topic,” Melusine whispered softly. “Furthermore, necromancers solely search to regulate life and dying, whereas witches problem dying to extend their restricted lives and try for time to delve into infinite information.”

“Heh, so that you’re saying witches are merely students engaged in scientific analysis?” Aiden lifted his teacup and took a sip. “It feels like all of you had been harmless while you had been arrested.”

He was considerably dissatisfied with Melusine clarification. Witches certainly pursued forbidden information, nevertheless it was incorrect to say that each one witches had been solely in search of information.

Most witches had been imprisoned not just for working towards black magic. There have been quite a few circumstances of witches utilizing forbidden information to have interaction in unlawful companies, manufacturing and promoting illicit medication, trafficking people, theft, and theft to achieve income.

Melusine herself was the most common instance. She used the information she gained as a witch to coach assassins and promote magical potions, thereby gaining energy and wealth within the underworld.

Upon listening to Aiden’s sarcasm, Melusine merely smiled to himself. “Certainly, some witches… together with myself, use forbidden information to hunt extra advantages. That is why we have not gained the popularity of these witches who purely pursue information. My instructor has complained greater than as soon as, saying that I’m proficient however not pure sufficient. I get pleasure from worldly energy and wealth greater than pursuing information as the last word objective. That is exactly why I’ll at all times be one step away from turning into the good witch acknowledged by Abigail.”

“Is that why she expelled you from the college?”

“No, it is as a result of I used her title to promote magical potions. It is one thing witches typically do, nevertheless it’s explicitly forbidden by the ‘Witch Gathering,'” Melusine shrugged. “She was livid, so I bought expelled.”

“Alright, so it is a Token that solely prime witches acknowledged by Abigail can receive. You probably have it, you possibly can meet Abigail herself…” Aiden tried to summarize the data offered by Melusine, “However how is that this factor used? Can or not it’s used to enter the Sabbath Forest and discover Abigail’s residence?”

Aiden realized that he would in all probability have at hand over this so-called “Proof of the Nice Witch” to the Inquisition Bureau, however they’d certainly demand details about it.

With Priscilla having misplaced her reminiscences fully and Dailey unable to disclose something, Melusine was now the one comparatively dependable supply of data. For Aiden, it will be greatest to make clear these particulars directly after which current all the pieces collectively. It appeared a lot simpler that manner.

However this time, Melusine shrugged with each palms open, “I do not learn about this matter, nor have I held it. It is best to ask her.”

Melusine raised her hand and pointed at Dailey.

Aiden thought for a second and replied, “Have the receptionist take her to the interview room. I will go there to satisfy her.”

“Alright.”

Aiden stood up from his seat and glanced forwards and backwards between Dailey and Melusine. “Alright, you possibly can return to your cell.”

There was no helpful data to inquire about anyway.

A couple of minutes later, he personally entered the room the place prisoners and guests meet. Rebecca was ready on the opposite facet of the glass partition, trying considerably anxious.

“You got here immediately, is there one thing incorrect?” Aiden requested straightforwardly.

“Aiden…” Rebecca checked out him solemnly, “I went to the Inquisition in the present day and heard that Priscilla was introduced right here early on account of a sudden sickness. Is it true?”

“Neglect it, the Inquisition has triggered me a number of hassle. I have never even had an opportunity to complain to the previous man…” Aiden took a deep breath, then frowned and checked out Rebecca. “You are still recovering out of your accidents, proper? Is it needed so that you can come right here particularly for this?”

“In any case, I am the one who caught her… She additionally made me lose my reminiscence. The one reminiscence I’ve of my work is catching her. Is not it regular for me to be involved and comply with up?” Rebecca replied nonchalantly, “Priscilla, how is she now?”

“It is a international object within the gastrointestinal tract. Do you may have any clues about it?” Aiden requested casually.

“Um…” Rebecca hesitated for a second and shook her head, “Sorry, I actually don’t have any recollection of it.”

That is regular. If Rebecca knew and remembered that Priscilla had swallowed one thing she carried along with her when pushed right into a determined state of affairs, the Inquisition wouldn’t be unaware of this case.

“Since it is a international object within the gastrointestinal tract, it could possibly’t be resolved utilizing the jail’s medical services.” Rebecca immediately requested, “Did you’re taking her to the hospital?”

“No…”

Aiden was about to reply when Rebecca immediately raised her voice, “Why did not you? This factor must be handled instantly. If there is a perforation, it might be deadly!”
