542: Dick is definitely the destined one.

Chapter 541: Dick is Definitely the Destined Person

Isurna helped An Lei cover herself with a blanket, then looked at Dick, her expression serious as she said, "We absolutely cannot let His Majesty know!"

"Of course," Dick shrugged, shaking his head and saying, "I don't want to ruin the Demon Spirit Continent."

Since ancient times, every generation of Poison Ember Witch has ultimately become a weapon in the hands of ambitious people.

Although it is only a matter of time before the Suweier Empire unifies the Demon Spirit Continent with its strength, Luca III doesn't mind accelerating the process.

Once he knows that An Lei is the Poison Ember Witch, the Demon Spirit Continent will be devastated, turning into a second Southern Underworld Continent.

Many people in power are confident, thinking they can control the Witch and use her for their own purposes, and Luca III is no exception.

However, historically, all empires that relied on the Poison Ember Witch to dominate ultimately brought disaster upon themselves, ending in the destruction of their nations.

This seems like a curse, one that has never been broken in millions of years.

But despite the lessons of history, many people in power still rush forward one after another, attempting to utilize the Poison Ember Witch.

However, compared to the survival of the Demon Spirit Continent, and compared to the so-called grand cause of domination, Dick was actually more concerned with his own interests.

As the Poison Ember Witch, An Lei could directly increase his strength, and that was the most important thing.

Besides, when Dick first sought An Lei, it was just so he could have a convenient tool for alchemy.

However, while he thought this in his heart, Dick still spoke in a grand and righteous manner.

"Isurna, there is an ancient saying on the East De Continent: 'One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father'..."

Just then, An Lei slowly woke up, and thus happened to hear Dick's "deep confession."

"I will protect An Lei her entire life. She will never become anyone's tool, and will always live freely under my protection..."

Translated, this means: I have taken responsibility for An Lei's entire life. She is my tool alone, and will always be under my control, loyally refining medicine for me...

Isurna's expression was strange; she could vaguely sense Dick's true meaning.

Since receiving the memories of dozens of lifetimes, Isurna could easily find the correct communication channel and understand the implicit meaning behind Dick's words.

However, in An Lei's eyes, this was a deeply affectionate promise. Her nose tingled, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

"Master Dick, you are truly too kind. I have no way to repay you, boohoohoo..."

An Lei threw herself into Dick's arms, completely overcome with emotion. At this moment, the love in her heart was stronger than ever before.

Looking at Dick, who wore a smile, Isurna sighed softly.

In any case, as long as An Lei was happy, that was enough.

And ultimately, the fate of the Poison Ember Witch was a complete tragedy. Staying by Dick's side might be An Lei's best destination.

Suddenly, Isurna received a telepathic message from Claude, and her brows quickly furrowed.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Dick's question, Isurna immediately replied, "A distinguished guest from the Didalian Family has arrived, and General Martin is receiving them. I need to go there immediately..."

Hearing this, Dick fell into thought, a pink figure quickly flashing through his mind, and he subconsciously licked his lips at the same time.

"It's Afra Didalian, isn't it."

"Exactly," Isurna nodded repeatedly, looking puzzled. "She is a direct descendant of the main Didalian Family, with a very noble status. You actually know her?"

Dick didn't answer. Instead, he took out a fate teaching scripture from the inner pocket of his robe and handed it to Isurna.

A refreshing floral fragrance assailed her nostrils; this was Afra's unique scent. Looking closely, Afra's signature was clearly on the book cover.

"I'll go too, to catch up with a friend..."

Dick had always coveted Afra's Breast Healing Holy Body, and it had been several months since his last taste.

Besides that, Dick also planned to use Afra to make contact with the Didalian Family, setting the stage for some future plans.

Having been reborn a hundred times, Dick knew very well that the Elf Gold Firm, this super power, was not just about having money.

On the other side, in a bunker in the center of the military camp.

Martin was pouring wine for Afra. He had a kind face and looked less like an all-powerful Empire General and more like an old man strolling in the park.

"Hehe, Lady Afra's sudden visit caught me unprepared for a proper reception. Please forgive me..."

"It's alright."

Afra took a sip of wine, looked at the military topographic map on the wall, and said casually, "I heard that twenty-seven empires in the Central Region simultaneously declared war on the Suweier Empire, and strategically, they are forming a siege."

Hearing this, a hint of pride couldn't help but appear on Martin's face. He nodded slightly and began to briefly introduce the current war situation.

The location of the Suweier Empire was right in the center of the Central Region, surrounded by almost entirely enemy countries, both bordering and non-bordering.

Looking at the map, it seemed completely surrounded, a very desperate situation.

However, Martin was not panicked at all, nor were the military and civilians of the entire Suweier Empire, as the disparity in strength was obvious.

"Lady Afra," Martin straightened his chest and said confidently, "It's not that twenty-seven countries are surrounding Suweier, but that Suweier is surrounding them!"

The current Suweier Empire was like a strong tiger, while the surrounding enemy countries were all just little lambs that only "baah"ed.

They huddled together, bleating in unison, attempting to overwhelm by numbers.

Little did they know, the only way the little lambs could kill the fierce tiger was to literally stuff it to death.

Looking at Martin, whose smile was harder to suppress than an AK, Afra shook her head and chuckled softly, "I also heard that the vast Suweier Empire has been thrown into chaos and panic by a Witch..."

As soon as he heard about the Divine Machine Witch, Martin's smile immediately froze, because he simply couldn't refute it.

Look at what the Divine Machine Witch had done recently.

Assassinating high-ranking military officers, assassinating chief scholars, attacking the headquarters of the Investigation Bureau... and even running into the Royal Palace to assassinate Luca III!

And a few days ago, the Divine Machine Witch even directly attacked the military camp, causing dozens of buildings to be damaged and thousands of soldiers to be injured!

Despite acting so brazenly, she was still at large. Not to mention the general public, even the soldiers like them were terrified.

"I, I believe that the Divine Machine Witch will be caught soon. When that happens, there will be a public execution, and I hope Lady Afra can come to watch..."

There was no other way; Martin could only choose to be stubborn. He didn't want Afra to have any negative impressions.

Seeing Martin looking flustered, and the other officers appearing helpless, Afra secretly felt disdain.

They can't even deal with an early-stage Witch. The Suweier Empire is nothing special. If this were in the Newman Continent managed by the Didalian Family...

Within a day, this Divine Machine Witch would pay a heavy price for her recklessness!

This wasn't Afra being careless, but simply the truth. After all, the Newman Continent was the center of the world, and its overall strength was far superior to that of the Demon Spirit Continent.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly heavy, the door to the conference room opened.

Isurna, wearing a standard military uniform, entered first, followed by Dick and Leon.

"Respected Lady Afra, good evening..."

While Isurna was exchanging pleasantries, Dick smiled and met Afra's gaze. Under the effect of the Mysterious Blessing, the good feelings accumulated in the past were quickly reawakened.

Soon, Afra's heart began to beat faster, and she subconsciously recalled the taste she had experienced at the Bit Family before.

Since their separation, Afra had thought of Dick almost every day, recalling every minute and second they spent together discussing doctrines, and recalling the ambiguous moments.

This repetition only further strengthened Afra's conviction that Dick was her destined person!
