Once mastered, it means that after becoming a great witch, they are at least qualified to possess a powerful spell that stands at the pinnacle of witch magic theory.
And all of this was brought about by Shining Lilith.
Today, she plans to go to the Great Buffet and answer the other witches' questions.
But when Shining Lilith arrived at the Great Self-Help Hall, she suddenly raised an eyebrow and realized something was wrong.
Thousands of long tables were laid out across the hall, filled with food and wine, where countless witches should have been chatting happily, regardless of where they were born or what paths they had chosen.
The sole theme of this self-help effort is to share in the miracles of the witch's civilization.
Disagreements and misunderstandings will dissipate in the sweet wine and hearty smiles.
That's how it was.
But today, it's unusually quiet here.
A witch dressed in white armor sat at the front table, holding a glass of wine, but she only swayed it without drinking it.
The shimmering light shone through the liquor, revealing her inner unease, confusion, and a faint sense of fear.
If she hadn't occasionally reached out and grasped the hilt of her somewhat exaggerated silver two-handed greatsword at her waist, she might have already lost her courage.
"Eluru, what's wrong?"
Shining Lilith easily recognized the witch before her: Farron's End, Silver Knight Elur.
The greatsword in her hand was a gift from Black, who was known as the Wandering Knight during the Society's era.
Upon hearing Shining Lilith's voice, a hint of surprise flashed across Elul's face.
Although they arranged for a witch to participate in the Great Self-Help to wait for the other party every day, when Shining Lilith would arrive depended entirely on her mood.
Elur rose, looked at the Queen of Fran, and knelt down sincerely. Without waiting for the other party to criticize her, she explained everything in a rather organized manner.
"Lady Shining Lilith, please don't worry, I've just set up a soundproof barrier here."
"The other witches continued to eat as usual."
"Then why did you come to find me?" Shining Lilith looked at the greatsword that the other party cherished and hung at his waist. She already had the answer in her heart, and a faint black line appeared on her forehead.
She now understood why Eva had suddenly come to find her.
"I've come for Jiang Kehan, the witch who dared to challenge Ms. Eva Carson."
Elur took a deep breath and then said firmly.
"I and dozens of witches plan to help the other side without affecting the war."
"Oh?" Shining Lilith sat down casually, gazing at Elul quietly.
Suddenly, Elur felt like she was suffocating. It was as if she had entered a world she had never been to before, and everything around her was desolate.
She was like a fish that had accidentally fallen onto land, unable to get a response from the world in the face of the other party's overwhelming presence.
"You should know that from Eva's perspective, and even from Fran's perspective, your behavior is shameless."
"Do you still remember what we in France value?"
"It's about unity."
Shining Lilith kept a straight face, but her tone was very calm. She just stared at Elul, and a hint of expectation even appeared deep in her eyes.
Elur could barely lift her head. She couldn't figure out the other person's attitude, but she gritted her teeth and said as if she was going to risk everything.
“I have never forgotten, it’s just that…”
"It is precisely because of unity that I am here."
“What binds every Fran witch is not just the honor that once belonged to us, but we even know that we lost it long ago.”
"We have no honor left when we can only watch Keva Miller leave alone."
Her tone revealed an overwhelming sadness, but she quickly regained her resolve.
"What truly binds us together is the mutual gratitude we owe each other and the unwavering support we share."
Grace as deep as blood, and protection as strong as iron, bind all the Farron Witches together, shaping them into who they are today.
This is the new answer that Elur, and many other Witches of the End, have discovered.
"Therefore, we absolutely cannot remain indifferent to Jiang Kehan, our benefactor who saved so many French witches!!!"
Like the howl of a young beast, or a roar, Elur raised her head with all her might, her eyes flashing red, so stubborn.
Even if the person in front of her was the strongest and greatest in all of Fran, or even among all witches, she would still risk her life.
However, in her astonishment, all she saw was Lilith's radiant, joyful smile and the hand stroking her hair.
"Who says that France has no successors? We are the most prosperous empire."
She smiled and then laughed heartily.
It turns out, she no longer needed to search for answers or plan the way.
Long before the times changed, the Fran witches had already grasped a rope more in line with the pulse of the era, putting them ahead of all empires!
“You are right, Elur.”
"The era to come will no longer be confined to any particular empire."
"Go ahead, I support you. Go and repay the kindness in your own way."
"Let the witches of other empires see that we, the witches of Fran... are always open and honest."
Only in this way can she unite the other witches with a trustworthy identity and remain relevant to the times.
They even continued their advance with the help of other empires.
Chapter 496 Slightly Numb Claws
"I never imagined that your reputation in Frankfurt could turn into something positive."
Angela elegantly examined the French newspaper that Nova had brought her, then glanced at Jiang Kehan, who was sprawled on the ground panting heavily, chuckled, and her eyes were full of teasing.
"That's fine too, so you won't lose too much face if you lose."
"Stop making it sound like I'm bound to lose, okay?" Jiang Kehan puffed out her cheeks, looking at Angelie with some dissatisfaction.
Her understated blue and white cloak, as she slumped down, resembled a blooming glass flower, shattered into clusters, reflecting a touch of dazzling color.
"Then you should stand up first, my dear Miss Affairs Officer."
“You’ve been resting for way too long,” Angela sighed helplessly, handing the newspaper to Nova before half-squatting down in front of Jiang Kehan.
Her eyes were surprisingly serious, and she spoke after a brief pause.
"And speaking of facts, even if you wore the top-of-the-line gear I tailored for you, you still couldn't compare to Eva Carson."
"You've probably noticed the gap between us these past few days, haven't you?"
"Even if I control my spellcasting power to be slightly lower than yours, you will still have a hard time surviving against me."
"Even if you successfully break through to the end, you cannot guarantee victory."
Jiang Kehan also had a headache. After achieving the third stage of the Great Witch, she crossed the chasm that countless witches marveled at in almost no time.
The accumulation of countless cat balls ensured that she was no less powerful than any witch who had not yet reached the end.
The astonishing talent from Li Hui, which even amazed Angelette, prompted her to quickly integrate and master these powers, and even take them a step further.
With Angela's extremely dedicated teaching during this period, Jiang Kehan has also made rapid progress in magic.
To put it arrogantly, she is already capable of going toe-to-toe with some End Witches who are not good at fighting.
In the past, even if Angela had heard that a witch below the End could challenge the End, she would have scoffed and ignored the other party's daydreaming.
It is evident that Jiang Kehan is dominant among her peers, but she is about to face a great man.
Therefore, it is only natural that theoretical learning alone could not meet Jiang Kehan's needs; she needed more practical experience.
However, she was bullied by Angeli to the point that, if not heartbroken, she was at least utterly exhausted.
This is no longer a question of whether or not Jiang Kehan can win; rather, during the duel, she simply cannot understand her opponent's actions and can only instinctively dodge and attack.
But that won't do. She has to try to analyze the other person's behavior again and again to understand Angelie's intentions.
Otherwise, when Jiang Kehan meets Eva, she will only be equally helpless.
This is not something that can be filled by so-called talent or magic; it is the accumulation of countless battles.
Jiang Kehan was ultimately too young to live long enough to be bullied by these experienced witches, and she shed wet tears.
She pouted and lay down on the ground, looking like she was going to let herself go and rest, which made Angela's lips twitch slightly.
As their relationship progressed, Jiang Kehan became increasingly casual in her daily life, which surprised Angelie.
Indeed, the two of them have fought too many battles in the past few days, and even a short break can only be squeezed out by Jiang Kehan giving up.
Thinking of this, Angela patted her clothes, reached out to Jiang Kehan, pulled her up, and then glanced at her with a hint of helplessness.
"Alright, let's call this training session for now."
"After all, I'm different from Eva, that dueling idiot. In terms of combat experience alone, I can say I completely overwhelm her."
"Hmm, I think it's better to let Sherlock Mike Van take some time to fight you a few times so that he can gradually get used to it."
Jiang Kehan's eyes welled up with tears. For once, she felt that Angela Terry's words made a lot of sense.
But her smile vanished quickly.
Jiang Kehan suddenly remembered that, in terms of combat alone, Sherlock Mikefan was only second to Angela Terry.
Is there really a difference?!
Jiang Kehan looked up at the sky and suddenly felt that sometimes having a sparring partner who is too strong is not a good thing.
However, when she was thinking about which other witches she knew could serve as sparring partners and was about to use her connections, she was stunned.
It seems that Sherlock Mikkelsen really is the best choice.
There's no need to consider the great figures from France; they're the ones who declared war, and they're not so kind as to be Jiang Kehan's sparring partners.
As for Little Lilith and Liang Hua, uh...
These two are ranked higher than Angelette, so even if they were called up, the result wouldn't be much better than if Angelette had played.
As for the final witch beneath the greatness?
