Before taking Jiang Kehan's hand, Blake smiled and ruffled her hair before pulling her up and looking at her seriously.
"However, I still admire you quite a bit, so I'm curious to see what kind of danger you'll encounter. Maybe I can lend you a hand."
Whether we say it or not, we can still be good friends.
Jiang Kehan glanced at Blake sideways, but her sarcastic remarks turned into a smile, and she nodded.
"Don't run away then. But speaking of which, how are we going to get to Riemann?"
"Of course, I'm looking for the train." Blake blinked, speaking with a hint of smugness, then strode forward before turning back to wave to Jiang Kehan.
"Aren't you going to hurry up and catch up?"
Jiang Kehan looked at Blake's nonchalant expression and really wanted to tell him that she actually knew what a train was, but then she looked at his expression.
Yes, she just wanted to cause trouble.
However, considering that Blake seems to be in a good mood right now, I'll save my mischief for next time.
Jiang Kehan followed and asked with some curiosity.
"Why are you looking for a train? Aren't there any fixed train stations?"
"Of course there are, but train tickets are quite hard to get. It's said that several nobles and the Dragon Princess worked together to get them, and because of the interference of the Dragon Clan, getting a train ticket basically depends on luck."
"Of course, as someone who often travels around, I do have a few tips for finding tickets."
Blake whistled, but his gaze sharpened as if he were searching for something.
“Let me tell you, there’s a limit to the number of train tickets you can find in each place, but here at the border, probably no one is willing to travel around and manage to get two.”
"The tickets are usually hidden near the adventure sites, such as places with exceptionally beautiful scenery."
I see. But why are the train tickets hidden in these corners?
Jiang Kehan looked around in confusion. In her understanding, shouldn't the train seek a stable source of passengers in order to make it more convenient for more witches?
With that thought in mind, she asked the question and waited for Blake's answer.
Blake looked at her with a puzzled expression and said, "Who said the train is for everyone?"
Chapter 343 Malice
Ugh?
Jiang Kehan was stunned for a moment, then asked in a soft voice.
"Who was that train for anyway?"
Blake's expression was indifferent. She casually kicked away a pebble at her feet and waited a while before speaking in a detached tone.
"For fun?"
"Anyway, it's not for us. Otherwise, I would have contributed as many resources as needed and shamelessly taken a spot."
"It's a pity." She sighed softly, then turned to look at Jiang Kehan, her eyes somewhat serene.
"The Dragon Queen is merely using the power of other dragon species. Even she has no right to interfere with the dragon species' thoughts, since the train still needs their maintenance."
"And in the eyes of these dragons who have transcended birth, aging, sickness and death, perhaps only an accident can make them laugh for a while."
Jiang Kehan fell into thought, and she began to wonder what exactly a train was.
The speed of the witch is not slow; she can easily exceed the speed of sound. Therefore, the train that Black mentioned is unlikely to be a simple mechanical or magical creation, since runic literature was still in its infancy at this time.
It's still somewhat useful for a typical mid-level witch, considering that Farron, and even the witch planet, are ridiculously large, though the speed of sound is a bit slow.
But for a peak mid-level witch like Theresa, it's not really necessary.
After all, Theresa's speed can easily approach the speed of light, and she can even surpass the speed of light in some form through magic.
So those who truly need the train are precisely the witches with average abilities who struggle to find tickets on their own. That's why Blake said that taking the train depends on fate.
Thinking about it this way, the positioning of trains is actually quite amusing.
After pondering this, Jiang Kehan's curiosity about the train only grew stronger. She wanted to see just what kind of amazing train this was, one that required the maintenance of dragons.
Guided by Blake, they quickly found two train tickets: one in an abandoned level 3 dragon lair, and the other deep underground in a rare black rock.
If it weren't for Blake, Jiang Kehan probably wouldn't have found a trace of the second train ticket even after searching for a year. This shows that the dragons who hid the tickets really didn't care whether the tickets could be found or not.
Jiang Kehan's expression was not good. She might have overestimated the "morality" of these dragon species, if they even had any.
But at least they got the tickets, so the two headed towards the train station.
On the way, Jiang Kehan suddenly asked Blake.
"Blake, what's your take on the birth of the Great Witch?"
"This one?" Blake glanced at the sky. He noticed that the star representing the Great Witch was no longer alone, but rather shining brightly together.
The second great witch has been born.
"Perhaps it was forced upon me," she said calmly.
"Witches have always been bullied, but we are ruthless and brave enough to quell a lot of malice."
"However, these things alone cannot ultimately overcome the limitations of hard power. Fortunately, the nature of normal level 8 or higher creatures is too indifferent, which gives us the opportunity to continue."
“But…” Blake held up the ticket in his hand, looking at Jiang Kehan as if questioning her.
"Just like these tickets, no one can say for sure whether these big shots will suddenly decide to put a knife to our throats, just for so-called entertainment."
“We need to have more power, until we can silence all living beings, otherwise our cities, our country, and even our civilization, no matter how prosperous, will be nothing but an illusion.”
She spoke in this way, simply gazing at Jiang Kehan, but Jiang Kehan could feel the hatred that the other party had suppressed for a long time.
As a knight who chases calamity and death, Black has witnessed many tragedies that normal witches never encounter. Some things were etched into her mind and bones long ago, and she remains steadfast in them.
Jiang Kehan suddenly understood why, in this era, witches who were clearly capable of building prosperous cities and even all sorts of incredible wonders preferred to live in villages.
Because these are all simple things, for survival.
No matter how extravagant a city is, if the witches living within it are not powerful enough, it will ultimately only turn into more beautiful ruins, and nothing else will change.
In the eyes of witches of this era, it must be that a powerful figure like Del Marie must first settle in a certain place before a suitable village, or even a city, can be built there.
They have the ability to pursue a better living environment, but they don't have the right to.
Jiang Kehan pursed her lips, feeling a sudden sense of oppression and anger in her heart, but with nowhere to vent it.
She looked up at the two stars and spoke to Blake.
"That day will come. The Great Witch is just the beginning, far from the end of witches."
“Is that so?” Blake smiled, then put his hands on his hips, his expression relaxing. “I hope so too, but these troublesome matters are ultimately beyond my consideration.”
"Perhaps right now, only Keva Miller is qualified to worry about Fran."
This was already the second time Jiang Kehan had heard praise and recognition for Keva Miller from the mouth of the second witch.
One of them is Ye Yu, who experienced every scene of this era and lived into the future.
The other was Blake, a playboy who didn't even care much about Theresa.
Is this Keva Miller, the top-ranked must-eat dish in Riemann?
Jiang Kehan thought to herself and asked Blake, "I've heard that Keva Miller is the strongest witch in Fran right now. Can you tell me more about her?"
"That guy? He's ridiculously strong," Blake said, grinning. "But he's a nice guy, just a bit slow."
This was the first time Jiang Kehan had ever seen Blake so impressed with a certain witch, and she blinked and asked.
"A little dull? I doubt you could use that word to describe a witch."
Blake said with a hint of sarcasm, "I'm not talking nonsense. Keva Miller is just stupid. Everyone in Fran knows that."
"She can only focus on one thing at a time, and she doesn't consider any conspiracies behind it or what the consequences of her actions might be."
"If she weren't so capable, she would have been used as a pawn by others long ago."
Ah, Jiang Kehan was speechless. She originally thought that Keva Miller would be a witch with a strong demeanor, but it turned out to be an exceptionally pure person.
"How strong is she?" she asked curiously.
"Hmm, I could probably crush all the nobles except for the head noble, along with the other three noble princes."
Blake said that.
Chapter 344 The Alien Race on the Train
Jiang Kehan was stunned for a moment, and then her expression became strange after realizing that Blake was not joking with her.
Theresa's strength is at the peak of level 8, so according to Blake's description, Keva Miller, with a level 6 life level, can rival a normal level 9 creature?
In this era where the magic system is not yet fully developed, directly skipping three levels?!
This is no ordinary wall hanging; we must strike hard!
Sigh, Jiang Kehan really wanted to ask if the other party's cheat could be made available so she could also experience the other party's joy.
"That's incredible?" She looked at Blake, still somewhat incredulous. How could the difference between witches be so great?
It's even more different than the difference between Blake and a dog, even though both are "dogs".
"Of course, after all, even Keva Miller's spellcasting is different from ours. It's incredibly fast, and she doesn't even need spell models."
Blake's tone was also somewhat sour, and he looked puzzled as he spoke.
"She can do whatever she wants with magic, it's outrageous! Why don't I have that talent?"
It seems that Jiang Kehan wasn't the only one who was jealous, but the more Jiang Kehan heard this description, the more familiar it seemed.
Isn't this obviously witch magic?
Unlike magic, witch magic doesn't rely much on academic accumulation; it depends more on so-called skills, or talent.
That makes much more sense now. Jiang Kehan nodded, barely understanding why Keva Miller was able to transcend the limitations of magic and achieve such a feat.
The opponent's magic is completely outside the normal magic system.
As they talked, they soon saw an empty train station. There were no tracks or trains, just a simple little house with windows. The eaves extended over the room, leaving a long corridor that looked like it was prepared for trains, with a railing as a barrier.
If it weren't for the sign on the small house clearly stating "Train Station," Jiang Kehan would have readily mistaken it for a hotel or a large convenience store.
However, Blake was clearly used to it. She led Jiang Kehan to the railing, then held her ticket in her hand and strode inside.
The railing slowly rose and then fell back down, making Jiang Kehan curious about what it was powered by, as she couldn't see any power source.
