Chapter 1176: Future Great Witch
Chapter 1176: Future Great Witch
It should have been an easy name to remember since it was quite the unique name, it was just that I couldn't associate the person that currently owned the name with the person that I
knew from the game.
After all, they were two completely different people.
In the game which was set further down in this world's timeline, the Five Great Witches of the Sea were completely different from the lineup that I had heard before.
Or rather, there were four witches that were the same and one that I didn't recognize.
The one that I didn't recognize was Zyra since she didn't exist in the world of the game.
The witch that took her place was a witch named Dicus who was known as the strongest of the Five Great Witches of the Sea.
She was a powerful woman who was always headstrong and fierce, but she was also a very caring person under that fierce appearance. She was someone that showed more compassion than anyone in private.
That made her the most popular one out of all of the Five Great Witches of the Sea to woo. She had many CGs in the game, both fully clothed and without clothes, so it could be said that I was quite familiar with her, I was one of the ones that had also fallen in love with this character.
However, that character in the game was a beautiful and mature lady who fully embodied the title of a Great Witch of the Sea. She wasn't a little girl like the one that was currently in front of me.
That difference was what made it hard for me to associate the current Dicus with the one that I knew from the game.
But now that I made that connection...
It was hard for me to not see the similarities that I had missed before.
The current Dicus was just a smaller version of the older Dicus that I knew from the game, so there were many things that were similar between them.
At the same time, there was another reason why I was able to see those similarities between them.
I had seen many CGs of Dicus before, so it could be said that I knew every part of her body... Now that I've made the connection, it was hard for me to not associate her with those CGs. The problem was that the current Dicus was just a child and it felt wrong to associate her with those CGS.
It almost felt like a crime.
As if he could see the way that I was looking at her, the former crown prince glared at me as if he wanted to hurt me before saying, "What are you looking at?"
When I had been caught, I could only give an awkward cough before saying, "I'm just noting the similarities between your daughter and Ariel. They really are cousins with how similar they look to each other."
The former crown prince narrowed his eyes as if he didn't believe me, but he couldn't say anything else since the reason that I gave was sound.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
It was to the point where Dicus and Ariel looked at each other before suddenly smiling at the same time. It was as if they were happy to hear that they looked similar, which made them feel closer to one another.
The former crown prince looked like he was still doubtful, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Instead, I turned to Zyra to ask, "What kind of research do you do?"
It wasn't just to change the topic, but because I was actually interested in what kind of research Zyra did.
Sea witches studied things that were related to the field of magic that they used. It was different from other magicians that increased their mana to increase the power of their spells.
Sea witches used a more scientific approach to magic, using knowledge to bridge what they lacked in mana. They used knowledge about the spells to increase the power of their spells. Zyra didn't answer at first as if she was lost in thought, but I could tell that she was looking in the direction of Dicus and Ariel with a smile on her face.
It seemed that she was a mother even if she was also a sea witch.
After a moment of silence, she turned back to me and said, "It's the field of mana fields."
"Mana fields?" I asked in a confused voice.
Zyra said with a nod, "My research focuses on how mana fields naturally exist in this world and how to manipulate them. A single person can only have so much mana on their own, so to release truly powerful spells, one needs to manipulate the mana in nature. That is why I study how to use mana fields."
I slightly knitted my brows when I heard this.
It wasn't because I was surprised or afraid of the field of research that she described.
That was because I had already heard about this field of research before.
It was the same field of research that Dicus was studying in the game, which was also the field
of magic that she used. It seemed that she had learned everything from her mother and had taken her place as one of the Five Great Witches of the Sea.
This was the theory that I had already come up with, but this confirmed it.
But there was something that I couldn't help finding strange.
There was no mention of Zyra or the former crown prince in the game. Even when it was brought up with Dicus, she never answered the question in the game and even seemed to avoid it.
It seemed that something had happened to Zyra and the former crown prince in the future of this timeline...
Just what was it that caused them to disappear completely from the game and had Dicus take over her title as one of the Five Great Witches of the Sea?
I needed the two of them, so it seemed that I had to find out and see if I could save them.
