Crystalline Minerals Hidden in Tukulu

Lecy might not have been fully aware, but Su Ran could clearly see on the map that the old man from the Roland Chamber of Commerce had been present at the scene from the very beginning.

As for why he only chose to reveal himself now, Su Ran didn’t know.

The only thing she could be certain of was that the Witch’s Society needed to make an example of someone.

The earlier display was enough to intimidate everyone present, letting them know that the Witch’s Society was not to be trifled with.

Everyone’s gaze was now focused on Su Ran.

From the way she flew through the air and easily injured Ken Roland, it was clear that the newcomer was a Sequence Six.

“Wait here for a moment.”

Su Ran gently set Isa down, then turned to Lecy with a slight smile.

“My name is Su Ran. I’m also a witch.”

Hearing these words, Lecy suddenly felt the pressure on her shoulders lighten considerably.

If she had to face Ken alone, she would only be confident in escaping, not to mention the three Sequence Fives watching her like tigers.

If the magic essence crystal controlling the magic formation fell into someone else’s hands during her escape, it would mean the Witch’s Society’s final retreat path was cut off.

Fortunately, Philly and Maimai had appeared at this moment.

Before they had time to catch up, the leaders of the three opposing mercenary groups were eyeing them covetously, looking for an opportunity to strike.

Lecy and the others watched them warily to prevent a sneak attack.

“Who are you? You are not a member of the Witch’s Society.”

Ken, in the air, looked at the young woman who had risen back into the sky, his expression grave.

Judging from the magic essence energy emanating from the young woman, she had only just entered the ranks of Sequence Six.

However, to be able to pierce through his defenses with a single blow, Ken had to treat her with extreme caution.

He was almost certain that the young woman before him was a witch!

A Sequence Six witch!

An enemy of the same Sequence.

‘If this Sequence Six witch were to fight me…’

Ken shook his head, forcing himself not to think further.

“Who I am is not important. What’s important is that with me here, you can’t touch the Witch’s Society!”

Ice crystals gradually gathered in Su Ran’s hand, forming the shape of a flintlock pistol.

Su Ran held it in her hand, fiddling with it a couple of times.

Faced with Su Ran’s merciless attitude, Ken stabilized his emotions and said in a deep voice, “Miss Witch, the object in Lecy’s hand is enough to blow Tukulu to the sky. For the safety of the ordinary mercenaries, I cannot sit idly by.”

“To be honest, I can also blow Tukulu to the sky. Do you want to try?”

As Su Ran spoke, her beautiful face became dangerous, her gaze locked onto Ken.

Magic essence erupted from all over her body.

Suddenly, all the mercenaries in Tukulu could feel the explosive magic essence energy in the sky, and they looked up in terror.

They recognized Ken in the air but not the woman confronting him.

Even though this woman had a divinely beautiful face, they were in no mood to admire it.

To be able to confront Ken, coupled with the terrifying energy erupting from her body, was enough to prove that the young woman’s rank was at Sequence Six.

Even Lecy, under Su Ran’s influence, unconsciously stopped what she was doing and looked up.

A great battle in the sky was imminent.

This was a battlefield for two powerhouses.

Ken’s expression grew uglier and uglier.

He hadn’t expected the other party to be so unreasonable, even taking a “if you want to fight, then let’s fight” stance.

After weighing the pros and cons, he still chose to back down.

“I hope Miss Witch can direct her sharp blades at the approaching army of the Church.”

The circumstances were stronger than the man.

If he fought the witch here and both were severely injured, the only ones to benefit would be the onlookers.

With that, Ken left the scene without looking back.

“Alright, now it’s your turn.”

Watching Ken leave, Su Ran turned her head to look at the mercenary group leaders below, whose faces had already changed drastically.

The feeling of being targeted by Su Ran was as if the space all around them was being compressed, making even the slightest movement a luxury.

This made the leaders, headed by Erke, give up any thought of escaping.

They could only stand obediently in place, awaiting Su Ran’s judgment.

“Lady Su Ran, how should we deal with them?”

Seeing Su Ran land, Lecy walked to her side and asked.

With Su Ran, a Sequence Six, holding the line, her heart was no longer in a panic.

“You are more familiar with the situation in Tukulu than I am. I won’t interfere.”

Faced with the question, Su Ran shook her head.

She had no interest in dealing with these people.

It was best to let Lecy handle it freely.

As the leader of the Witch’s Society, she would surely know how to maximize their benefits.

“Then have their mercenary groups ransom them with magic essence crystals? These are all leaders of their groups, and they all have a number of loyal followers. If we are too ruthless, it could easily cause a backlash from the mercenary groups.”

Lecy lowered her head and thought carefully for a moment, then voiced her thoughts to Su Ran.

“Lady Su Ran, is this acceptable?”

Lecy looked at Su Ran cautiously.

Although Philly and Maimai had said that Su Ran was easygoing, Lecy, who had not interacted with her before, still maintained a certain level of respect, or rather, restraint.

Su Ran didn’t speak, just nodded and focused her attention on the map.

She was preparing to carefully examine the situation in Tukulu.

With Su Ran’s approval, Lecy quickly sent word to the various mercenary groups, telling them to bring enough gold to ransom their leaders.

Looking at the neat stacks of magic essence crystals placed before her, Su Ran had Lecy put them away.

Then, under Lecy’s lead, Su Ran and the others entered the headquarters of the Witch’s Society.

Returning to the familiar headquarters, Maimai bolted straight to her room like a wild horse.

“Isa, have Philly take you and bring Canlisa over from outside the city.”

Canlisa was still in the small cabin outside the city; Su Ran hadn’t forgotten about her.

After watching everyone leave, a barrier made of pure magic essence emanated from Su Ran’s body, and she gradually came to a stop.

Lecy, who had noticed the abnormality, seemed to have anticipated it and slowly turned to look at Su Ran.

“Lecy, I have a question. Is there really a crystal mine in Tukulu?”

Through the map, Su Ran had already scouted the situation within Tukulu.

There was no so-called crystal mine at all.

Knowing this result meant that Lecy’s earlier threat was completely empty.

Lecy glanced at her surroundings.

Su Ran spoke reassuringly, “I’ve constructed a soundproof barrier with magic essence. Unless someone’s Sequence is higher than mine, no one will be able to eavesdrop.”

“Yes, my lady is right. There is no crystal mine in Tukulu. This is a secret known to very few in the Society. If the great witch hadn’t appeared in time, the Witch’s Society might have faced a crisis of annihilation.”

Since Su Ran had already seen through it, Lecy went along with it and revealed the secret.

There was no crystal mine in Tukulu, yet the Witch’s Society could continuously produce magic essence crystals.

Only a witch could accomplish this.
