Chapter 222: The Tin Knight and The Tower of Greed (2)
The Witch of the North’s residence was not fixed.
More precisely, she alternately used several mansions existing in each tower’s ruling territory.
This was not because the Witch of the North was extravagant, but for largely political reasons.
The Witch of the North was a figure with very important symbolism for the Magic State, and such a figure staying with a specific tower for a long time could disrupt the balance between towers.
If the Witch of the North herself had gotten irritated saying she didn’t care about such things, or strongly insisted on living as she pleased, it would have been a different story, but unfortunately, the kind witch didn’t have the personality to refuse invitations made with goodwill towards her.
Of course, that didn’t mean the towers tried to manipulate the Witch of the North as they pleased.
Just looking at the mansion prepared by the Tower of Protection, it was built in a very remote and quiet place, respecting the Witch of the North’s wish to avoid contact with other people as much as possible.
A top-class mansion prepared in a deep, deep forest, but perfectly equipped with all kinds of amenities.
The value of the building, slathered with special magic tools from the Tower of Protection that even the continent’s wealthiest couldn’t easily obtain even if they offered a mountain of money, was difficult to convert into monetary terms, but the Witch of the North staying in that mansion didn’t feel at ease.
“Ah, Lot, Lot. Why did you do such a thing? Why on earth?”
A deep sigh poured out from the mouth of the Witch of the North, Orin.
Even though she had the appearance of a young girl, she was a great witch and sage who had lived for more than hundreds of years.
