Chapter 309 - 267 Delivery
Carlo hurriedly left the Witch’s dwelling. As soon as she stepped onto the path in the Secret Forest, she broke into a run, fearing the Witch might change her mind and keep her there.
Along the way, her fatigue was scared away, until she emerged from the Secret Forest and belatedly felt a sourness in her legs, nearly causing her to stumble.
Looking at the waterskin in her hands, Carlo felt like it was all a dream.
Was she, a simple farmer... actually encountering a legendary Witch in the forest?
Midwives, although occasionally seen by others as embodiments of witches, evil spirits, or possessed by ghosts... were just outsiders’ prejudices. Being a midwife herself, she certainly couldn’t be related to witchcraft!
But there, in the forest, was a genuine Witch.
The fear slowly receded, and Carlo gripped the waterskin tightly.
The Witches’ Magic Potions... often possessed extraordinary magic power.
This was why, although most people deeply avoided Witches, there were still some rich youths and nobles who yearned for the Witches’ magic power.
Even though... in the stories, Witches often led people toward an irreversible Abyss.
But... moths always fly towards the fire, just as people always pursue extraordinary powers.
