Talent:

Miracle of Stars [Mythical Tier]: The threads of fate woven by starlight have been altered, turning chance into inevitable miracles.

Sky Wind [Mythical Tier]: A body as clear as the sky, you control the sky, atmosphere, and wind. All things perceived by you are as clear as hair on a bright mirror, sharp and real. (Gains maximum bonuses in domains related to sky, atmosphere, wind, perception, and purification.)

Blessing of Red Flame [Legendary Tier]: Flames regard you as a friend; you do not burn when encountering fire, and can walk through it. (Gains significant bonuses in domains related to flames, high temperatures, and burning.)

Legacy of the Past [Legendary Tier]: The witches who amazed the world in the past still exist in your memory. If needed, you can borrow their strength. (However, only one at a time can be borrowed, and they cannot coexist.)

Ability:

[Transformation Wind] (Mythical Tier): Your form is so free that you can arbitrarily simulate and switch between different forms of power modes.

[Pale Purple Blade] (Perfect Tier): An extraordinary vocation ability that allows you to attach extremely sharp pale purple sword light to weapons, enabling some degree of ranged attacks.

[Glowing Fire Flicker] (Perfect Tier): You can perform a short-range blink displacement, achieving mysterious sword techniques beyond imagination.

Skill:

[Silver Moon Sword Technique Lv. 7] (Perfect): A high-tier sword technique inherited from the Mercury Dynasty, requiring the use of the War Sequence vocation. Its style is sharp and dangerous, adept at ambushes and guerrilla warfare. (Restricted by the Supranatural Rank, it cannot yet reach its strongest state.)

[Purple Moon Sword Technique Lv. 7] (Legendary): A special sword technique passed down from the Mercury Dynasty, refined and improved by the witches of that era. Its style is gorgeous and versatile, capable of being combined with spells. However, due to the vast amount of prerequisite abilities and knowledge required, this sword technique is difficult to master quickly, often used by witches with longer lifespans.

[Western Dipper Linked Stars Sword Technique Lv. 7] (Perfect): Inherited from Huang Bird, one of the Five Phoenixes. Originally exclusive to the Heaven-Cutting Dao (Magic Sequence), it was later modified within the sect.

Other sequences can also be cultivated. Although they have decent combat capabilities, their main use is to design formations and can be used in conjunction with others, making them a good choice for small team coordination sword techniques.

Compared to other extraordinary sequences in the past, the war sequence ability that Lolan Hill cultivates is much simpler. This is also because this extraordinary profession focuses on a single point, pursuing breakthroughs through concentration.

Looking at the evaluation displayed on the screen, the young lady cheered slightly in her heart.

Although reaching Sequence 5 was not new to her, everything about the war sequence still felt fresh.

According to her previous plan, she needed to cultivate the war sequence to Sequence 5, using it as a cover to hide her identity before continuing to cultivate other sequences.

Currently, she had to decide whether to continue advancing in the nature and necromancer sequences or to cultivate the angel and demon sequences.

In terms of affinity, cultivating the angel sequence would be the fastest for her, followed by the demon sequence, then nature, necromancer, and other sequences.

However, since both nature and necromancer sequences have already reached Sequence 6, cultivating the angel sequence might not be feasible due to time constraints. Despite currently dealing with enemies easily, once she starts acting, her tracks will inevitably be exposed to the other witches.

And the opponents she would face then would be much harder to deal with.

Witches not only possess the strength brought by extraordinary professions but also have even more powerful abilities to assist them, often requiring several Sequence 9 individuals of the same rank to counteract them.

The necromancer sequence is too conspicuous. It might be better to cultivate the nature sequence this time. Moreover, choosing the nature sequence has another benefit.

Recalling what she had seen in the empire, she hadn’t encountered any extraordinary beings of the necromancer sequence yet; they were said to only exist in the northern region.

After making her decision, a faint radiance appeared in Lolan Hill’s eyes. Her originally pale blue and transparent eyes gradually turned green, and even her hair behind her transformed into a light green, making her look much softer than before.

Lifting the hair beside her side, Lolan Hill sighed that although her talent was useful, some minor side effects could sometimes be amusing.

Pure transformational wind, the wind has no color. When it blows over a landscape, it takes on the colors of that place. Similarly, if she changes her extraordinary sequence, her eye color and hair will change accordingly.

Her characteristic is wind and transformation. Keti’s characteristic is fire and destruction. Xifnail’s style is water and rhythm. Brunnerard’s characteristic might be rock and condensation.

Recalling the styles of the other Primordial Four, Lolan Hill yawned slightly.

She felt a bit drowsy. She would stop here for today.

As her thoughts slowly settled, Lolan Hill leaned back like Lotte beside her.

Sleep slowly enveloped the Stone Wall.

The Empire’s Capital · Titania

Although the weather in the Imperial Capital was gradually turning colder in October, there were more pedestrians on the streets than usual. People walked along the roads after the rain, creating ripples, and waved at acquaintances, their faces showing relief from surviving the recent ordeal.

Since the death of the Empire’s Emperor last year, Titania had been under constant pressure. Censors continuously searched and arrested people, causing widespread fear and unease among the populace, who feared being caught up in the turmoil.

But all of this had finally come to an end.

After the Regent returned to take charge, the Empress gradually resumed her duties, attending major meetings and gatherings among the nobility, which slowly calmed everyone’s anxious hearts.

Some minor nobles, after the Empire regained peace, happily invited friends to celebrate and enjoy themselves in their homes, as if trying to make up for lost time. This joy spread downwards, and many servants and commoners found new jobs as a result. Everything seemed to be recovering in a positive direction.

Another early morning arrived; the mist on the horizon had yet to dissipate when a group from the distant Northern Region entered the Imperial City through the city gates.

“Where do you come from?” The guard flipped through their documents and asked as part of his routine.

“Cold Leaf Territory.”

“Traveling such a long distance, is there something specific you need?” Hearing this remote location, the guard couldn’t help but look at these people more closely.

They were all wearing extremely thick clothes, as if they had put on multiple layers of cotton coats over armor, making them appear quite bulky.

“We came to purchase some grain, sir. Currently, the North is suffering from a harsh winter, and we hope to receive assistance.”

“That’s truly unfortunate. Unfortunately, I can’t help much,” the guard said, understanding the discomfort of cold and hunger from his own background. He shook his head regretfully.

“But I suggest you not count on purchasing grain here. Prices in the capital are very high.”

“If possible, you should head south. The climate there is warmer, and there are more places that produce grain. You could also buy directly from villages, which would be cheaper.”

“The only obstacle is that some local lords and nobles might not want outsiders buying their local grain. They consider these resources as their own private wealth.”

As he spoke, his companion nudged him with his elbow.

“Sorry, I shouldn’t have said so much. It’s not appropriate for a guard to gossip about the nobility.”

“No problem. We should thank you for your advice. But since we’re here, let’s enter the city and see what we can do,” the knight replied, his breath forming a white cloud before him, then entering the city.
