chapter 342 part 2
"As long as the Master is here, none of this is a problem. Whether it's Kōkosh of the Seven-Colored Scales or Hector Weiss the 'Beast General', he could deal with them easily."
The White Mist Witch spread her palms, leaned back in her chair, and said with a lighthearted laugh.
"White Mist."
The Green Leaf Witch reminded her sternly, "We can't rely on the Master for everything."
"Every single one of the Master's schemes in the hills has a significance that we cannot comprehend. Whether it's the Human Holy Kingdom, the Slane Theocracy, or even the fearsome Alliance Leader of Zuranon..."
"...they are all but pawns in the palm of the Master's hand."
As the Green Leaf Witch spoke, a hint of excitement and fanaticism crept into her voice.
As someone who had experienced it firsthand, she didn't know the Master's overall plan, but through her discussions with the White Mist Witch and Lizardman Kuru Xue during this time...
The three of them corroborated each other's accounts, and even though the entire Abelion Hills incident was over, they could still only vaguely perceive the framework of the Master's plan.
"The Master... is too amazing," the White Mist Witch said in agreement, her chin propped on her hands, her expression full of adoration.
To have orchestrated such a massive incident in the hills all by himself without being discovered by anyone, and to have been able to withdraw so calmly, even receiving thanks from all sides and gaining control of the hills...
At this thought, the Green Leaf Witch and the other two felt a sense of shared glory and worship.
"If it were just a matter of power, the Master could have eliminated these defiant demi-humans himself."
"Since the Master has tasked us with controlling the hills, he must want us to truly take charge of the Abelion Hills, not control them through crude methods."
The Green Leaf Witch voiced her thoughts, but she still had no clear idea of how to proceed.
"Miss Enri..." Lizardman Kuru Xue began in a low voice, mentioning a name, but closed their mouth before they could finish.
"Enri is currently with Hector Weiss, the 'Beast General,' learning how to command troops. She's in the process of clearing out the remaining undead in the hills."
The Green Leaf Witch shook her head and spoke calmly.
Although she didn't say it outright, her meaning was clear: there were some things that weren't suitable for Enri to know.
"If only Enri could truly master that power... Kōkosh of the Seven-Colored Scales must have gotten detailed information about her from Hector Weiss."
The White Mist Witch snorted coldly and said with some dissatisfaction, "He knows Enri can't freely unleash that terrifying power, which is why he's grown so arrogant lately."
"That's enough," the Green Leaf Witch interrupted, frowning.
To be honest, between the Twin Witches, the Green Leaf Witch's relationship with Enri was relatively better.
The White Mist Witch rarely appeared in public to begin with, and later spent most of her time in the hills, so her impression of Enri was rather neutral.
The great hall fell silent once more.
Evidently, none of the three could think of a good starting point.
The Green Leaf Witch pondered for a long while. Her amber eyes fell upon Lizardman Kuru Xue, who sat opposite her. She suddenly asked, "Crusch Lulu, what is it you're working so hard for?"
"Ah?"
Lizardman Kuru Xue was taken aback.
"I can tell that you have some kind of goal, right?" the Green Leaf Witch said with a smile.
"Perhaps..."
"Perhaps... I want to bring my fellow lizardmen who live in the Great Wetland to the Abelion Hills."
"The environment and resources here are much richer. It should allow our tribe to develop better."
Lizardman Kuru Xue's hands, which were folded on the table, shifted unnaturally as they spoke in a low voice.
"Is that so," the White Mist Witch said, somewhat surprised. It was the first time she had heard about Lizardman Kuru Xue's motivations. "You really are well-suited to be a tribe leader."
Hearing this, Lizardman Kuru Xue suddenly became a little embarrassed.
Across the table, the Green Leaf Witch, on the other hand, became thoughtful. She had caught a useful piece of information in Lizardman Kuru Xue's words.
"External aid"!
The reason their control over the demi-humans in the hills was so weak was because there were too few of them, and they had no kinsmen of their own.
"White Mist and I are only two people; we have no tribesmen. Crusch Lulu's Lizardman tribesmen, however, are a good option."
"This matter requires the Master's approval, and it's too late for that now. Perhaps we can first win over some of the smaller demi-human tribes."
The Green Leaf Witch was lost in thought.
*Wom—*
Suddenly, the air not far away rippled, and then a terrifying pressure washed over them, causing the expressions of the Green Leaf Witch and the others to change drastically, as if they were being targeted by some fearsome beast.
The next moment!
A figure appeared in the great hall.
"Oh, the three of you are all here?" Tang Zheng said with a smile, greeting them.
"Master!"
"Master!"
"Ma... ster."
The wary expressions on the three of them vanished, replaced by two respectful voices and one that was slightly hesitant and nervous.
He noticed the reflexive surge of magical energy from the three of them.
*Did the influence of Ladon's Dragon Aura spread out along with the teleportation?*
A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes as he glanced at Lizardman Kuru Xue in surprise. *They didn't call me Master before; it was always 'Lord Human'. Have they started addressing me the same way as the twin witches?*
Tang Zheng didn't really care about such minor details.
"The three of you are gathered together. Did you run into some kind of trouble?" Tang Zheng asked curiously.
The White Mist Witch and Lizardman Kuru Xue glanced at each other, a little hesitant.
"Not at all, Master," the Green Leaf Witch was the first to speak.
"Mm."
Tang Zheng nodded. "Have those Dark Dwarves from the hills been settled in with the Dwarf Artisans?"
"They have been settled. These Dark Dwarves are very obedient and are currently under the command of the Dwarf Artisans," the Green Leaf Witch immediately replied.
"That's good."
"Have this group of dwarves forge two thousand... no, three thousand sets of magic armor and weapons. There shouldn't be any shortage of raw materials in the hills right now."
Tang Zheng gave his instructions. He planned to first prepare a complete set of magic items for the Oasis Humans. "I'll give you a list for the specific equipment."
Since he had capable artisans on hand, there was no reason not to use them.
