Chapter 943 - 486 Aries Witch
After leaving the village, Ivita entered the city. Although Yodo City was under martial law, it was, after all, a commercial marketplace and couldn’t block the flow of people in and out for long.
Therefore, Ivita used the Complete Transformation Spell to disguise herself as a merchant and easily gained entry into Yodo City.
By now, the armed presence in Yodo City was very exaggerated. The prohibition on carrying weapons had been lifted within the city, and nearly everyone on the streets was armed and looked at each other warily.
Ivita found it strange that everyone in Yodo City seemed to be in danger.
On the cobblestone pavement, she casually pulled over a merchant who was passing by. "I see everyone in the city is on edge. What’s going on?"
The merchant, initially quite displeased and ready to scold Ivita, changed his demeanor completely after meeting her gaze. He suddenly became as docile as a frenzied housecat eyeing food in its master’s hand and said to Ivita, "Stranger, don’t you know? A Frankish witch was invited to this city by Lord Jalen. There were many prominent people in the city who whispered about her; the very next day, they ran madly into the streets, stripped off their clothes, and after they were naked, they clawed at their bodies and scratched themselves to death."
"That Frankish she-devil even brought a group of her witch students."
When the merchant spoke of Jalen, his tone was mocking; but when he mentioned the Frankish witch, it was with gritted teeth and a display of claw-like fear.
In a lowered voice, the merchant said, "Now, that coven of witches is monitoring the streets every day to see if anyone speaks ill of their mistress. We Alsasians are all very afraid. And because of that Frankish witch, our future seems very unclear. Perhaps we can no longer trust the Yodo Family. They’re nothing but Jalen’s lapdogs."
