Igor and the Great Witch Biggs stood in place without moving. One scratched his head, not knowing what to say, while the other looked around, not knowing what was happening.
Biggs wanted to ask what they were discussing, but due to the pride that Igor had just shown by addressing her as "Your Excellency," she couldn't bring herself to ask the question. If she did, it would feel like she was lowering her own status. It wasn't easy reaching Gray Robe advancent and regaining a bit of her old confidence, so she couldn't give it up so easily.
But everyone was discussing a matter related to her, yet she was completely in the dark, which made her feel uncomfortable.
The only one who respected her here might be Igor.
She now regretted coming this way; if she stayed beside Bigas, perhaps—oh, no, staying there would be even more awkward and would affect others even more negatively. But she clearly could have walked a different way, so why did she have to co this way?
Because there was light here.
That might be the only reason that could convince her.
At Twin Peaks, she witnessed the terror of the Spirit World. She couldn't play a role at all in the battles within the Spirit World, not even her junior sister, the Saint-Robe Wizard, could sway the whirlpool in the Spirit World. So this experience cast a shadow over her, making her slightly fearful of dark things.
So this bit of light attracted her...
While danger was naturally avoided by her, awkwardness arose again. She found that since encountering Igor, nothing had gone smoothly—either it was despair or awkwardness, but never a good feeling.
What should she do now, continue pretending to be aloof?
"Uh, standing here isn't a solution, Your Excellency Witch, please sit down. Though the ground is a bit cold, it's certainly better than standing!"
Igor finally spoke up. To show his sincerity, he even picked up so dry grass he had been sitting on and offered it to the Great Witch.
"Uh..." The Great Witch was flattered, yet she couldn't refuse, so she simply sat down.
"Your Excellency Witch's divination greatly inspired . I didn't have a chance to thank Your Excellency Witch, and then, unexpectedly, you advanced, right here on this mountain!" Igor had a lot he wanted to say to the Great Witch, so as soon as Biggs sat down, he started talking endlessly.
The Great Witch thought, if it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't be unlucky enough to co to this mountain, where the happenings beco more troubleso each ti. Although sotis there are considerable gains, they are always beyond expectations, which is uncomfortable.
Seeing that the Great Witch remained silent, Igor felt embarrassed to continue, so he began scratching his head uncontrollably. He vaguely recalled that the Great Witch had been similarly succinct at the Divination House, as if speaking were a luxury for her.
This reminded Igor of Stan Sol. When he looked over at Stan Sol, he found that the fellow was sitting with his eyes closed, not participating in any of the discussions, as if he had beco isolated from everything happening around him.
Scratching his head and smiling, Igor thought it best not to shalessly try to chat with the Great Witch, even though he had many questions for her. Instead, he turned his head to avoid her gaze and listened to what the other seniors were discussing.
Then, Igor scratched his head even more fiercely.
Because everything the seniors were discussing was about the Great Witch.
Initially, Igor hadn't noticed. But once he did, he began to reassess the Great Witch.
This scrutinizing look sent a shiver through Biggs' heart. What's going on? Is he observing a monster? Could it be that after advancing, I've turned into the appearance of a monster? The Crystal Ball isn't here; I can't see for myself. What a pity. Next ti, I must carry the Crystal Ball when I'm out.
After watching for a bit, Igor started talking to himself: "Oh my, it really is just like that! What on earth is going on!"
Upon hearing this, the Great Witch's heart grew more anxious. If even this young man is talking so ominously, has sothing truly indescribable happened to her?
However, Igor wasn't a person who could keep secrets. After his remark, he exclaid, "This, this robe really is shimring with colors!"
This ti, the Great Witch understood. It turns out the things these monsters were discussing were not about her, but about the wizard robe she was wearing!
She had been listening carefully to the monsters' discussion. Why couldn't she make sense of it, yet Igor was able to pinpoint the key point so directly?
This was what puzzled the Great Witch.
The Great Witch Biggs didn't know Igor had been with these monsters for a while and had gotten to understand their personalities and temperants to so extent, which allowed him to naturally comprehend what the monsters were talking about. She herself had just started interacting with them. How could she so quickly identify the crux of their discussion?
For instance, when the monsters previously said, "You'd think it was Xiso coming over, with the changing colors, sowhat like that earlier mood!" When Igor heard this, he naturally understood they were talking about Bigas, but could Biggs understand that they ant Bigas? Obviously not.
Now that she finally grasped the focal point of the monsters' discussion, she lowered her head to examine her wizard robe.
The Witch Biggs discovered that the original gray robe was gradually developing several spots. These spots constantly shifted in color, sotis yellow, sotis white, sotis bright, and sotis dim...
The spots were so small one wouldn't notice without careful inspection, but this change in colors was very apparent to others.
"What exactly is going on?" Even Biggs found it baffling, as a wizard, she naturally knew the characteristic changes when a wizard robe advances. Whether a black robe advances to a gray robe or a gray robe to a white one, such characteristics shouldn't appear. Even when a white robe advances to a saint robe, such traits won't appear.
The color change during advancent is sudden, and such spots shouldn't exist. Instead, if there are spots on one's wizard robe, it indicates an incomplete advancent. Even then, such spots would be the leftover colors from the previous wizard robe, not like hers, which keeps changing...
Could it be that she's possessed by so mysterious power?
Or does this wizard robe itself co with mysterious power?
The Great Witch Biggs felt panicked herself. Why is everything happening to her becoming more and more bizarre, and why is it that every encounter with Igor brings nothing good?
The Great Witch rolled her eyes, trying hard to think. The strange phenonon discovered by the monsters had clearly beco a ntal burden for her...
