Chapter 363

Chapter 363:凝朱霜糖

After reading Ladytis’s diary, Lolan Hill had a rough idea of what was causing the anomalies at the school.

Not only this time, but also during her encounter with a strange fish by the riverside when she first arrived, and the peculiar illusions she experienced at the Winter Festival, these were likely the work of that secretive witch. Although the witch was powerful, she did not seem to have much hostility towards Lolan Hill, or perhaps she spared her because of Tides and Trinasha. After understanding this, Lolan Hill couldn’t help but sigh—being protected truly was a blessing.

Although she herself was a witch, she was still too young and her strength wasn’t absolutely overwhelming. Talent was important, but without growth, everything was just an illusion.

Shaking her head to put aside these distracting thoughts, she turned her focus back to figuring out how to resolve the current predicament at the school.

The ability of Secrecy was indeed powerful, but ultimately it was a passive effect, making people accept and ignore certain differences. It could not directly alter someone’s memories or influence their personality. The reason why things had escalated so dramatically was due to Osuna’s plague talent providing critical support, adding an offensive element and causing continuous spread, leading to exponential growth in impact.

If Osuna’s plague effect could be eliminated, that is, if the strange power seeds could be dissolved, then the secretive ability would lose its object of attachment. Without any subject, the effect of Secrecy would lose its foundation and meaning. It ultimately relied on something existing; when there was nothing to conceal, the ability had no significance.

Therefore, all that needed to be done was to destroy the power seeds of those infected. This was also the significance of Lolan Hill’s research into the special antidote.

These power seeds guided mana and mana in a peculiar way, producing effects far beyond the ordinary, which the system referred to as “Ejika’s Transcendental Path.”

This might be a peculiar method of cultivating magic power that existed during the Age of Dusk, or even in some ancient era. Logically, such a model should come with a corresponding Extraordinary Sequence, rather than such a simple guidance.

Unfortunately, there was currently too little information available. It was still unknown what had happened in the distant past. After resolving the campus issues this time, she would…

It was time to start unraveling the mystery of her origins.

Lolan Hill gently pressed her fingers against the armrest, silent and deep in thought, her gaze fixed on the clearing in the woods. The scene fell into an awkward silence.

Seeing that the young lady had fallen into silence, Yan Liuyan felt as though he were being ignored. His proud and impatient nature made him feel quite displeased, wanting to raise his head to question and seek answers.

But when he saw the gentle face beneath the black hair, the anger in his heart slowly dissipated. Such a girl, if she could let him look at her forever, he might even be willing to wait for a whole day.

Unfortunately, such thoughts were just that—thoughts.

Although Lolan Hill was lost in her own thoughts and didn’t mind the direct gaze, the other members on either side of the scene found it unbearable.

She was their club leader, someone they rarely saw, now being openly scrutinized by an outsider, even a prisoner. When did the world become like this? Several intense gazes converged from both sides, accompanied by an intangible soul pressure, intimidating Yan Liuyan standing in the middle.

Though they couldn’t act directly without Lolan Hill’s permission, they could collectively intimidate him enough to remind him of his place.

Yan Liuyan initially wanted to mock these opponents who only dared to glare back, but with over a hundred Sequence 6 souls focusing their gaze on him, even he began to feel the strain. Cold sweat started to form on his back and forehead, his consciousness burning with pain, and he struggled to stand steadily, swaying unsteadily.

Damn, if he faltered and knelt here, all his reputation would be ruined.

Realizing this, Yan Liuyan had no choice but to lower his gaze, bowing his head and no longer stealing glances at the peerless maiden on the flower throne. Only then did the pressure on him lessen slightly.

Half a minute later, Lolan Hill finally emerged from her thoughts, no longer preoccupied with her origins and turning her attention to the scene.

She blinked, puzzled as to why Yan Liuyan, who had been so defiant moments ago, was now trembling slightly and sweating profusely.

But now wasn’t the time to ponder such trivial matters; it was best to proceed according to plan.

She raised her floral sleeve, and a gentle breeze began to blow through the woods, soft and comfortable, carrying with it a faint fragrance.

Cherry blossoms drifted slowly downward.

Those present among the ‘Black Veil’ members felt their consciousness and bodies enveloped by the gentlest of cotton in this soft breeze, gradually relaxing and entering sweet dreams.

After seeing Yan Liuyan, who had been the last to stand, slowly fall, Lolan Hill instructed, “Ling, bring out the Ningzhu Frost Sugar Potion and give it to these people.”

“Yes.”

The silver-blue winged maiden responded briefly and led the members, each carrying a sword, onto the field. She helped lift the sleeping ‘Black Veil’ members and then took out boxes of the wrapped crimson frost sugar, administering the potion to them.

【Ningzhu Frost Sugar Potion】(Rare Pearl Grade): Made by blending legendary golden apples, luminescent flowers, and other ingredients, refined through special methods, and diluted thousands of times. The unique magic of the Bountiful Witch can rapidly enhance extraordinary abilities, greatly increasing strength. The magic of the Poisonous Witch Korys, after being modified, can eliminate heterogenous elements within the body, effectively dealing with possession, erosion, infection, and more. The special magic of the Candy Witch Lagertis makes this potion naturally candy-like, irresistibly tempting, and maintains its state when made without spoiling, deteriorating, or becoming damaged.

Once the boxes were opened, the small sugar cubes resembling rubies immediately emitted a sweet fragrance into the air, incredibly tempting, almost making one salivate uncontrollably. Fortunately, everyone present had already tasted one, barely managing to restrain themselves from any sudden movements.

“Lady Lolan, are you really going to give such a precious potion to them?” A young man in a bright red uniform stood beside the maiden and asked quietly.

Lolan Hill was able to win over the elites of various societies so quickly, partly due to her absolute strength and partly because of the invaluable potions she bestowed. Even geniuses born into high nobility found it extremely difficult to obtain a single pearl-grade potion.

Although it wasn’t her own, the crowd still felt a pang of regret at the thought of giving away such a valuable item so easily.

“Hmm, as for extraordinary potions, they are like candies; they are made to be shared and enjoyed by all. True happiness comes when everyone is happy,” the maiden said calmly, her gaze gentle. If the other witches were here, they might sigh that another Bountiful Witch had emerged, and what kind of realm would arise beside her?
