Indeed, as Mia had said.

When approaching the central area of Dead Water Marsh.

The weird trees were no longer dense, and the wooden planks used for walking also ended here.

A large marsh lake occupied the middle area.

There were still plenty of ‘carnivorous wetland plants’ lurking under the lake – swimming through was out of the question. 𝓯𝑟𝓮ℯ𝘸ℯ𝘣𝑛ℴ𝘷ℯ𝓵.𝘤𝑜𝑚

In the exact center of the marsh lake stood a dark, Gothic-style building. That was the Witch Academy, the place where the witch apprentices reported their work.

Apart from reporting work.

There was a public lecture held in the academy every week, and all apprentices had to attend.

Under Mia’s guidance, they walked to a place similar to a marsh dock.

A small wooden boat, soaked and covered in moss with frogs jumping on it, was docked here.

Let alone two people sitting in it, Han Dong even felt that pushing this boat out alone would sink in no time.

“Is this boat usable?”

“Just give a tip.”

Mia pulled two copper coins from her pocket and gently placed them at the bow of the boat.

Stems of wet grass and vines overflowed from the water surface.

Along the hull, slowly on the boat, a medium-sized swamp fisherman was constructed… the appearance of the fisherman also plugged the hole in the hull.

“Get on the boat.”

Under the shine of the Dark Moon.

Accompanied by the swamp fisherman and the witch apprentices, boating through the quiet and deserted marsh lake had its own charm.

The lake was so large that it would take at least 20 minutes to reach the Witch Academy at the current rowing speed.

“Want some?”

Mia pulled out a bag of snacks from her waist, filled with foreign-flavored dried octopus, bat jerky, snake meat sticks, and dried jellyfish skin.

“No need…”

When Han Dong smelled this strange aroma, he even had a slight intestinal peristalsis reaction.

“I usually wouldn’t share such high-class food with others… I suppose I’ll eat it myself.”

Mia enjoyed it all by herself, occasionally licking her fingers.

“By the way! You’re surely going to participate in the Knights Training Selection Race in three days, right?” Mia, with a curly octopus tentacle hanging from her mouth, suddenly looked up and asked.

“Hmm…”

“Great! I also registered! Let’s go together then… There should only be two of us freshmen participating, it will be good to have each other.”

“We’ll see.”

As the wooden boat gradually approached the center, Han Dong found out that the dark Gothic-style Witch Academy was built on a small island with shallow water.

“Follow me… Mrs. Kaylonia should be entertaining guests in the reception hall or office.”

Under Mia’s guidance, they entered the peculiar-style Academy area.

However, after some searching, there was no one in the academy area.

“Strange? Where is everyone?”

“Where does the witch Kaylonia live?” Han Dong asked.

“The top layer of the Witch Academy is the teacher’s private residence… but, the teacher usually doesn’t bring guests up. Unless… the guests aren’t ordinary.

Could it be that they’re seeing the Great Plague Chief today!”

The correlation between the Great Plague Chief and the witches was clear to all the witch apprentices living in the swamp… thinking about it, Mia got a bit excited.

“Hmm… take me up there, I’ll just wait at the door.”

“Okay.”

They went up the spiral staircase.

The closer they got to the top, the stronger the stench of pickled fish eyes became.

When they reached the front door of the “Witch’s House”, unexpectedly… the door adorned with a skull head decoration was slightly ajar.

The wrinkled human head hanging on the door suddenly made a hoarse sound, “Mia… why are you here? Who is this man?!”

“Teacher! He is a disciple of Mr. Black White, and he has brought a letter to see you!”

“Looking for me? I’m very busy today… it’s inconvenient to see anyone.”

Han Dong immediately replied, “Hello Mrs. Kaylonia! I’m here to see the “Great Plague Chief”… you guys can carry on, I’ll wait outside.”

There was no response from the wrinkled head hanging on the door to Han Dong’s answer.

After a while, the wooden door slowly opened… beckoning them to enter.

“Let’s go… the teacher has allowed us to go in.”

Mia led Han Dong into the Witch’s House.

A giant animal skin was used as a carpet, and various insects, fish, and amphibian specimens were hung on the wall.

In addition, on the hall podium, there were all kinds of glass bottles with soaking samples (more like pickled wine or pickled vegetables), various kinds of animal eyeballs, whips, wings and some weird aquatic eggs.

Just then,

The Great Plague Chief – Moggleny, adjusting his waistband, walked out from the inner bedroom.

Right after,

A wisp of black mist similar to a liquid emanated from the room.

The “Witch” – Kaylonia Mason in charge of the Dead Water Marsh and witch teaching work, slowly walked out.

This deputy director of the Mysterious Department, second only to Mr. Black White, looked nothing like the hunchbacked old witch with a huge hooked nose that Han Dong had imagined in his mind.

A long dress woven of multiple black veils,

An exquisite and perfect figure,

Thickly painted purple-black eyeshadow,

Wearing a pair of skull earrings embedded with gems,

Not lacking a lip piercing, tongue piercing, or nose piercing.

Beautiful and alluring, mysterious and bizarre, this is the ruler of the Dead Water Marsh.

“So it’s you…”

The Great Plague Chief immediately recognized this disciple of Mr. Black White.

Last time, thanks to Han Dong’s help in deciphering the treasure map of Dragon Bone Wasteland, the Plague Knights obtained a precious item that improved the overall team’s strength.

The prejudice of the Great Plague Chief towards Han Dong’s ‘exceptional abilities’ hence reduced considerably.

Upon meeting, Han Dong promptly handed his referral letter.

Who would have known, the Great Plague Chief didn’t look at it at all and nonchalantly took a seat on the leather sofa by the fireplace.

“No need for this type of referral letter… Tell me! Why are you looking for me? If it’s “plague” related, I can teach you a bit about practical application techniques.

Since you’re Black White’s disciple, I consider you somewhat my student.”

Just as Han Dong was about to ask questions with a smile on his face,

The witch waved her hand, and four cups of peculiar tea with purple vapors were placed on the table, indicating everyone to sit down and chat slowly.

“Thank you, Mrs. Kaylonia.”

Han Dong intentionally chose a seat opposite the Great Plague Chief.

Little did he know,

The witch simply sat on the Great Plague Chief’s legs, leaning sideways on his sturdy chest… completely disregarding the staring eyes of the younger generation.

This intimate behavior made Mia blush slightly, she picked up her teacup, trying to avoid attention as much as possible.

“Ask.”

“Well… this time, I came to inquire about the ‘Plague Mutant’ and the matter of minoring in another Fate Profession.”

“Hmm?”

Han Dong’s question immediately caught the witch’s attention.

Mia, who was holding her teacup, was staring blankly at this classmate of hers.
