Chapter 140: From a Fake Witch to a Real Witch
On the same day, in the Depths of the Labyrinth on Arend Island.
“This way, Mrs. Hesh. Watch your step.” Leon gestured for Sally to follow behind him.
“Alright.” Sally walked as if treading on thin ice along the passageways between the Breeding Pools, fearful yet unable to suppress her curiosity as she glanced into the pools. Seeing the Magical Beasts crammed together inside, she could not help but shiver.
To allow Sally to safely use the medicine provided by Weiss, they had decided to make her a Witch.
The condition for becoming a Witch was to complete the ritual through the Moilai Altar in a place where one could absorb the Labyrinth’s Mana, and then drink a potion prepared with Mana.
The Labyrinth in Hamel Town, which was closer, could also have been considered. However, the Mana there was already close to depletion, and it was uncertain whether that would affect the success of the ritual.
After repeated deliberation, Leon ultimately decided to bring Sally to the Labyrinth on Arend Island. To prepare for the ritual, he had already cleared the area in advance; everyone working here had been temporarily reassigned to outside positions to stand by.
As for Sally, he had used his authority as Director to go through cross-district interrogation procedures to temporarily remove her from the prison. He personally escorted her, and the other Inquisitors accompanying them were subordinates he had arranged himself.
“Are all of these raised by you, Mr. Leon?” Sally looked at the scale of the Breeding Grounds, feeling horrified.
