Chapter 225 Preparation
What Sophie said just now was like throwing a bomb among the twenty-seven witch groups, causing a sensation. The group of witches, who were originally cold-looking, now after hearing what Sophie said, was indeed like an ordinary girl who loved to talk, with surprise expressions on their faces and began to make noise.
"No! How is this... possible!"
"Captain, don't make such a joke!"
"Didn't the captain hate these practitioners the most? Why do they still have relationships with practitioners!"
Sun Xiya also looked at her captain with shock on her face and said incredibly: "Captain, this... what you said just now is true! Do you really know this person?"
Sophie looked at Du Xiaochuan again, then nodded and said, "Yes, Fellow Daoist Du is my only friend of cultivator! So, let's forget what I said before! From now on, Fellow Daoist Du has any instructions, just go and do it!"
What Sophie said now, what she said before, Sun Xiya naturally knew what her captain was referring to. What Sophie was referring to was that after receiving this task from the parliament, Sophie decided to give Du Xiaochuan a warning.
But now it seems that it will be abolished by Sophie.
No wonder these witches showed such a surprised look. You should know that there is no good intersection between witches and practitioners, and they only have mutual hatred. In this case, even ordinary getting along can't be done, so how can there be the so-called concept of "friends".
It is too incredible to use the word "friend" to connect the practitioner and the witch.
All the witches have a great disgust towards practitioners.
What's more, the twenty-seven witches, including Sun Xiya, clearly know that their captain's disgust towards practitioners is much more powerful than ordinary witches.
Sophie's disgust towards practitioners was extraordinary.
But it was so incredible that Sophie actually spit out the word "friend" from her mouth.
Not only these witches, but even Du Xiaochuan was very surprised by what Sophie said just now.
Suppressing the surprise that aroused in his heart, Du Xiaochuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Sophie: "Maybe what Sophie said is really trustworthy!"
What Sophie said just now made Du Xiaochuan believe in Sophie's assurance to him.
Du Xiaochuan could naturally see that although Sophie said just now, the reason why she wanted to relieve the doubts of these witches was because of the abnormality she showed just now, she also proved to Du Xiaochuan that her promise to him was not a false statement, and she wanted to win the trust of his intentions.
Seeing Du Xiaochuan looking at him, Sophie smiled and turned her head toward Du Xiaochuan: "I have forgotten even my old friends who have not met for many years. Fellow Daoist Du is really too forgetful! Now, Fellow Daoist Du remembers me if I have come!"
Seeing the smile on Sophie's face, Du Xiaochuan didn't understand what he meant, and hurriedly said, "Oh, look at my memory. It turns out that it is Captain Su. I haven't seen him for many years, so I almost didn't recognize him!"
Speaking of this, Du Xiaochuan smiled embarrassedly.
Du Xiaochuan's acting is realistic! If it is outsiders, Du Xiaochuan's current performance is really not recognized by his old friend whom he had not seen for many years. The embarrassing expressions. Thinking of the strange behaviors that Sophie had shown before, it made others really think of them as if they had known each other many years ago.
Just as Du Xiaochuan smiled embarrassedly, Sophie smiled very well. From the outside, she really had the kind of embarrassment and thoughts that were unique to old friends she had never seen for many years.
However, only the two of them knew the truth under the cover-up of their smiles.
In fact, if these witches knew about Du Xiaochuan's situation a little, the lies between Sophie and Du Xiaochuan would be self-defeating. After all, Du Xiaochuan only had a short time to truly enter the Joint Parliament. In this short period of time, how could he know Sophie, the so-called "old friend".
Although these witches accepted the task of managing the ancient castle where Du Xiaochuan is located by the Joint Parliament, they are actually not clear about Du Xiaochuan's personal situation.
They just knew that Du Xiaochuan was the owner of the legendary "Immortal Merits and Deeds". As for Du Xiaochuan's other situations, they were completely unaware of it. The parliament had not announced the specific situation of Du Xiaochuan to this group of witches.
How could they know that Du Xiaochuan was just an 18-year-old boy.
Although these witches looked at Du Xiaochuan, who was less than twenty years old, and his captain were so-called old friends, and they were also confused, but they were just doubts. Although Du Xiaochuan's appearance looked only less than twenty years old. However, the age of a practitioner could not be judged by his appearance.
After all, once a practitioner reaches the spiritual realm, his appearance will become very slow. There are also many strange elixirs that can keep the practitioner from getting old.
Since Sophie said that Du Xiaochuan was his captain's "old friend", those witches only thought Du Xiaochuan was the kind of practitioner who had taken the pill to slow down the face and aging.
How could they know that their captain and Du Xiaochuan had a double act together.
After Du Xiaochuan exchanged a few words of greetings with Sophie like an old friend I haven't seen for many years, Du Xiaochuan looked at the group of witches and had to say: "Since you are here to work in this castle, I won't say much. With Captain Su here, I don't need to worry about anything anymore. If you have any problems in the future, I will leave them to Captain Su!"
Du Xiaochuan said to the witch opposite with a smile on his face, no longer as opposed to his previous attitude.
"Sofi will not even report to the parliament such a thing. As long as he is here, this witch team should not hinder my actions!" Du Xiaochuan muttered in his heart.
The reason why Du Xiaochuan wanted to get the witch's dispatching power just now was that he was afraid that these witches would cause trouble and hinder his plans these days. Now looking at Sophie's performance, Du Xiaochuan felt that he didn't need to worry too much.
Hearing Du Xiaochuan's words just now, Sophie smiled and said to the group of witches under her: "Fellow Daoist Du is my old friend for many years. He is not like an ordinary practitioner, and has prejudice against us. Therefore, don't be hostile to Fellow Daoist Du. Since you have been assigned to Fellow Daoist Du's castle, it's like when you were in the witch team, just act naturally."
Speaking of this, Sophie turned to look at Du Xiaochuan.
When Du Xiaochuan saw Sophie looking at him, he was stunned at first, and then he understood: "Captain Su is right! Don't be too reserved when you work in the castle. Don't worry, as Captain Su said, I have no prejudice against you! Otherwise, I wouldn't be friends with Captain Su!"
Du Xiaochuan vaguely emphasized the tone of the word "friend", and with a smile on his face, he squinted his eyes and looked at Sophie.
Sophie just smiled mysteriously and didn't say anything more.
The words of Sophie and Du Xiaochuan once again caused a commotion among the twenty-seven witch teams. From the eyes of these witches, Du Xiaochuan could also see that these people did not believe in the so-called "no prejudice".
After all, the practitioners and the witches can be said to have deep grudges and there is no possibility of any resolution. If this practitioner does not have any malice towards the witches, it is really hard to believe.
"Captain, is it just kidding!"
In fact, all the witches had only such an idea in their minds.
These witches first turned their distrustful eyes to Du Xiaochuan and looked at him a lot. Then they looked at their captain in confusion, as if they were getting confidence from their captain.
Sophie naturally saw the distrustful eyes of the witches: "What I said just now is true, you will know in a while! Well, come with me and arrange the work in this castle."
She could naturally clearly feel the doubts in her words about the members of the Witch Team. If she had not met Du Xiaochuan in Infinite Library and others would have told her such words, she would definitely sneer.
It is reasonable that these people under her will not believe it. Sophie didn't explain anything, she knew that time could prove what she said.
Then, Sophie walked towards the castle first. Although these witches still looked at Du Xiaochuan with distrust, they still followed Sophie to the castle.
Du Xiaochuan could only sigh in his heart for the distrust of these witches: "Hey, it's really troublesome!"
Since these witches moved into this castle, Du Xiaochuan began his own plan. What made Du Xiaochuan relieved was that Sophie did not inform the parliament of his abnormality. After the witch team led by Sophie entered this castle, Du Xiaochuan had a long talk with Sophie.
Since Shu Sufei has confirmed his identity, Du Xiaochuan naturally has no need to hide this. However, Du Xiaochuan only let Sofei know her true identity, but did not tell her more. Even Sofei was extremely curious about Du Xiaochuan's method of hiding spiritual power. Even if she repeatedly asked, she did not get any news from Du Xiaochuan, which disappointed Sofei.
After all, there are too many secrets on Du Xiaochuan, and things like Immortal Silver Leaf cannot be told to others.
After a conversation, Sophie also knew that Du Xiaochuan did not want his actions and was restricted by the witch. Under Sophie's arrangement, the witches did not disturb Du Xiaochuan's plan.
However, accordingly, Sophie also posted several requests to Du Xiaochuan. Originally, Du Xiaochuan was also worried about Sophie's request, after all, his handle was in Sophie's hands. Du Xiaochuan was quite worried whether Sophie would make any excessive requests to him in turn. What reassured Du Xiaochuan was that Sophie's requests were all very simple requests.
In the past four days, Du Xiaochuan started practicing elixirs. After these days of refining, the elixirs refined by Du Xiaochuan in the alchemy room have already had dozens of them. As Du Xiaochuan's refining techniques become more and more proficient, the success rate of elixirs refined using this refining technique is getting higher and higher. Now, Du Xiaochuan can have a success rate of 50% even if he closes his eyes.
However, Du Xiaochuan knew that this was far from enough. He knew very well that he had to improve the proficiency of refining this elixir to the point where he could be 100% successful even with his eyes closed.
After finishing the day's work of refining elixirs, Du Xiaochuan walked out of the alchemy room and took a long breath.
Although the thing he was most worried about since the witch moved in, the witch did not affect his alchemy plan.
But in the past few days, it has not been said that everything is safe.
This group of witches who settled in also had a headache for Du Xiaochuan.
Especially when Du Xiaochuan felt uncomfortable in his stomach when he thought of the supper made by these witches.
Since Du Xiaochuan entered the castle, although he was under house arrest by the Joint Parliament, Du Xiaochuan had never worried about his daily life. When the parliament assigned Jack and others to the castle, it was obvious that this aspect had been considered. In addition to those guards, there were also people who were specifically responsible for the life and operation of the castle by the Joint Parliament.
With these people managing this castle, living, diet, etc., it is entirely a special person who is responsible for it, so Du Xiaochuan doesn't have to worry at all.
However, due to the invasion of the elves, the council has replaced all the original responsible personnel with witches.
Since Du Xiaochuan's life in this castle has not been any problem, after all the people in these castles were replaced by witches, Du Xiaochuan did not realize that there were other problems that Sophie would really not inform the Joint Parliament as she said, as she did, and did not realize that there were other problems that he needed to worry about.
However, this problem that Du Xiaochuan ignored soon caused him to suffer!
Since the original life staff was replaced by these witches, Du Xiaochuan's life has indeed experienced serious problems.
"Although these witches have very high cultivation, they are all other aspects..." Thinking of this, Du Xiaochuan couldn't help but sigh.
These witches naturally have nothing to say in terms of cultivation.
Since these witches entered this castle, Du Xiaochuan has also learned that the group of witches who moved into this castle are composed of different witches from five generations.
"I didn't expect that the time interval between the council creating each generation of witches would be so short!" Du Xiaochuan thought about the information he received from the witches these days, and his thoughts kept moving in his heart.
From these days, Du Xiaochuan has also known the secrets of the witches that ordinary practitioners do not know.
There is a certain time interval for the council to create witches. In the past, most of the councils to create witches were separated by more than ten years. However, the speed of witches' elves is related to the degree of using the power of the elves. The more the elves are used, the faster the elves will be.
As the Parliament handed over all the dangerous figures to the witches, their missions were getting more and more frequent, and the speed of elves was naturally getting faster and faster. In order to offset this consumption, the speed of Parliament creating witches became extremely frequent.
In the current situation, a generation of witches is created every three years to supplement the consumption of witches when performing missions. The number of this group of witches led by Sophie is composed of five generations of witches.
In this witch team, the only one of the last generation of witches, is naturally Sophie, who is the captain.
Sophie's next generation of witches, Suncia's generation, has five of them broken through the 27 witches. The remaining two witches in the middle are the largest, with nearly twenty people. The fewer ones under her are the new generation of witches who were photographed by the joint council bed three years ago.
The cultivation of the witches will grow according to the increase in the bloodline of the fusion of the elves. Among these witches, the highest cultivation level is naturally Sophie, and the next one is the second generation of witches to whom Sun Xiya belongs. Among them, Sun Xiya's cultivation level is the most advanced. The remaining new generation of witches have the weakest cultivation level.
However, even the weakest cultivation level, the new generation of witches created by the council three years ago, have the level of real human realm of cultivators.
Although these witches have very advanced cultivation, they have been assigned by the Council to various dangerous figures to be tempered between life and death. If these witches are used for battle, they will naturally be speechless. However, the Council obviously did not consider that although these witches have rich combat experience, they are also very useful to guard this castle at such dangerous moments when elves invade. However, if you want to manage this castle, you can not only have rich combat experience.
This castle needs other things.
It can be said now that since these witches entered this castle, the ancient castle that was originally running in an orderly manner before the previous group of people left, but now its operations are in chaos.
Although this group of witches who wandered between life and death all day long was the most suitable one to warn the invasion of elves at this special moment. However, it is obvious that the witches who have not taken over such special logistics tasks have made the entire castle become unbearable now.
In this regard, the most unbearable thing for Du Xiaochuan to endure is the dietary problem that is responsible for by these witches.
Since the castle was taken over by these witches, they have completely taken over all the logistics work.
Chapter completed!
