I'm very conflicted and hesitant.
But in the end, Jiang Kehan answered firmly, "Of course!"
Her hand gently brushed across her shoulder, as if flicking dust, or perhaps smoothing away the furrowed brow of Ye Yu, making her smile so radiant.
From Jiang Kehan's own perspective, she wanted to leave, but this time, she wasn't alone.
I wasn't alone from the start of the mission.
"From now on, you'll be my secretary." Eva stood up and tossed Jiang Kehan a spare suit that was clearly expensive and could at least withstand a level 7 dragon's attack. This was a suit she usually prepared for herself.
"We're going to see someone else."
Without waiting for Jiang Kehan's reply, she had already pushed open the door, without caring whether Jiang Kehan could follow.
Jiang Kehan's lips twitched, and she quickly used magic to change into the suit, then jogged to catch up with Eva.
She realized that if she couldn't keep up, Eva wouldn't care about her.
In a way, this is the first lesson you learn as a future great student—prove that your talent is enough to keep up with the others!
Unfortunately, by the time Jiang Kehan caught up with Eva, she had already knocked on the door of a luxury mansion in the heart of Riemann, the residence of the first French Glory No. 1 Night Fragrance.
Eva's expression was not good. She pushed open the door with brute force, then went upstairs and kicked open the door to the other person's study.
boom!
Jiang Kehan could sense Eva's anger because there was no one else there.
Only a slightly apologetic note read: "I'm sorry, Eva, I have things I want to do. Night Fragrance."
"That bastard!" Eva roared, suppressing her anger. It was the first time Jiang Kehan had ever felt her emotions so turbulent.
So Jiang Kehan asked, "Who is Night-Blooming Jasmine?"
Eva turned around coldly, trying to suppress her anger towards the night-blooming jasmine, and said calmly.
"A powerful witch whose strength rivals that of the Dragon Queen, and a nobleman who has prepared the names of Fool and Pleasure, the First Nobleman of Fran."
"He is also the most irresponsible Rongjue."
Chapter 353 Night-Blooming Jasmine
Night-blooming jasmine, a somewhat mysterious witch.
She is the most authentic Fran witch, but her personality is completely different from that of the proper and solemn Fran people.
If Blake was already an exceptionally dissolute French heretic, she still possessed a strong sense of responsibility and commitment at her core.
Night-blooming Jasmine is different. Her style of doing things is close to nothingness. She likes to look down on other witches from a certain angle, bringing nothing and not wanting to take anything away.
No one knew what she was thinking, not even Eva, who had witnessed everything she did.
Like now.
"I originally thought that no matter how unreliable she was, she still had Fran and the witch in her heart."
“But now she’s playing hide-and-seek with me!” Eva was almost laughing in exasperation. She took off her monocle and stuffed it into her suit pocket, then removed the small cap covered with black stockings, which indicated a casual look.
Then, Eva pulled out her most frequently worn top hat, lace gloves, and a cane.
This is her diplomatic gesture, and it also means that she is starting to get serious.
"Kehan, do you know what a loose thread is?"
Jiang Kehan shook her head honestly and listened quietly to Eva's explanation.
"The world is a vast web encompassing all movement and stillness, with each thread representing a unique message."
Eva pinched the bottom of the glove, neatly slipped it onto her hand, and then snapped it open, letting the bottom bounce back, causing her fair skin to ripple.
"But contrary to what most people think, even the most sophisticated machinery cannot weave an absolutely perfect silk net, let alone someone like me who simply uses the silk net."
"Therefore, the silk screen is rough, fate is unreliable, and even the destined can be disrupted."
"So the way to truly master this network is not to control it, but to let it fluctuate and change until you find something you want that you can use to follow the threads to know everything."
"That is, what is called a loose thread."
For example, Eva was able to guess that Jiang Kehan had traveled from the future to the past. Although this conclusion was somewhat biased, she was still half right.
Behind this lies the clue that Liang Hua denies Jiang Kehan is the witch of Dahua Kongdu, and thus the clue is gradually revealed.
Now, she has found another thread.
"Kehan, besides waiting normally, you also need to learn to actively hook one thread, thereby attracting other threads to approach and achieving your own goal."
Eva's lowered gaze served as a reminder.
"Waiting for the clues requires having an excessive amount of information and time. In Fran, basically only I and a few other witches are qualified."
"For normal witches, the real use of this theory is in stirring up trouble."
Stirring up trouble?
Jiang Kehan's eyes were a little confused, but soon she saw it.
Countless phantoms emerged from Eva, landing silently with serious, silent expressions. They pressed their top hats, leaned on their canes, and hurried past.
Starting with Eva, these silent phantoms followed the silk threads and, in a frenzied manner, occupied every corner of Riemann, not even sparing the heavens and the earth!
They raised their eyebrows at times, laughed at others, gathered all the traces left by the night-blooming jasmine, and finally calmly pronounced their verdict!
The night-blooming jasmine can only reach this far.
Jiang Kehan glanced at the other witches around her, who seemed completely unaware of these illusions, and for the first time, she experienced Eva's terror firsthand.
"The so-called provocation is to stir up the biggest thread, pressuring the net and its prey to move closer to oneself and fall into one's plan."
For example, a common prison break tactic in movies is to deliberately provoke a fight in the cafeteria, forcing the prison guards to come and quell the conflict, thus buying time for some people.
It's like now.
Eva opened her arms. Now Riemann was under her surveillance everywhere. To escape this invisible yet chilling gaze, even a curse, she could only follow the veins to this place.
I met her.
A gentle breeze seemed to sweep by, carrying with it an invisible gaze and laughter, high above, so joyful.
Eva gripped the gentleman's cane tightly, waited a moment, and then closed her eyes.
"Shall we leave?"
Jiang Kehan asked in confusion, "Why? Isn't it almost successful?"
Even with Jiang Kehan's discerning eye, she could see that Eva's scheme was almost unsolvable. Night Fragrance had no choice but to come here, otherwise the curses on those phantoms wouldn't be so ineffective.
As for escaping Riemann? The reason why Night-Blooming Jasmine is hiding here is because Riemann, with Keva Miller, is the place that Eva is most difficult to monitor.
"I'm disappointed," Eva said.
"Yes, but what if we succeed? She's back, but she just won't appear in front of me."
"How can you expect me to trust you like this?"
Eva wasn't there to kill or target Ye Laixiang, after all, the critical condition notice hanging high in the sky hadn't been withdrawn.
She had originally recruited Night Fragrance as if she were recruiting Blake into the plan, but now...
Eva has already shown such urgency, and the other party has realized the importance of the matter, yet they are still unwilling to come out. Doesn't that explain the problem?
The other party completely ignored her!
"Kehan," Ava sighed softly, as if trying to kill the breeze that was ruffling her hair, offering this warning.
"Don't become like her. At least you have some concerns or your own plans, and give others a chance to understand and talk."
"Witches are never alone, but the night-blooming jasmine chose solitude."
is it?
Jiang Kehan watched Eva's departing figure, but instead of chasing after her immediately, she looked up into the distance, feeling a sudden sense of loss.
Is she such a person?
After Jiang Kehan took another step and caught up with Eva, a slightly low laugh, accompanied by a fragrance, came from a high-rise building not far away.
The laughing witch leaned against the curtains, calmly watching Jiang Kehan and Eva's departing figures, idly twirling her black hair with her little finger.
Jiang Kehan had seen this figure before, but the person did not use the name Night Fragrance.
Instead, it was late at night.
Historically, Ye Yu participated in the plan to hunt down the tyrant Xu Yu, slaughtering hundreds of level 7 dragons, more than ten level 8 dragons, two level 9 dragons, and many other creatures.
He made an indelible contribution to Keva Miller's rise to power, then disappeared, continuing his hunt for threatening alien civilizations.
But at this time, the witch was called Night Fragrance.
"Kehan?" Night Fragrance picked up the cup, looking at the steam rising from it, her gaze unwavering as she gently blew on it.
What will be the person you choose this time?
"Can anything be greater than my act of changing and saving history? Ha."
Sometimes, a witch's reluctance to see another witch is not an act of shirking responsibility.
Rather, she was prepared to sacrifice herself and did not want to say goodbye.
Chapter 354 Too Self-Deprecating
As it turns out, becoming a great secretary in the future, especially when the other party is facing important decisions and heavy tasks, means you're destined to become a dog.
Jiang Kehan not only became a glorious "rolling dog" (a term used to describe someone who works tirelessly), but she was also exhausted to the point of collapse, practically panting with her tongue lolling out on the table.
After leaving Night Fragrance's house, Eva was clearly not in a good mood. Her eyes were downcast and her expression was cold. If the witches she found later hadn't readily agreed to participate in the mission to hunt down Tyrant Xuyu, she probably would have wanted to kill something herself.
But this also meant that her anger towards the night-blooming jasmine grew stronger, and ultimately transformed into even more efficient work.
Yes, that's inevitable. After all, without the help of the First Glory of France, we have to make up for it in many other ways until we are absolutely sure of success again.
In other words, the culprit that exhausted Jiang Kehan has appeared.
She is currently accompanying Eva in the Great Library to search for information on advanced creatures that may live in the territory of Fran, and then, following the clues, sending witches to scout the situation in advance to reduce the hunters' time in the hunt.
After all, even for someone like Black, it would take about half a month to locate, investigate, and finally determine whether the dragon was one he could handle if he wanted to hunt a level 7 dragon.
If the other party's coverage ability is too strong, then unfortunately, all of these two weeks will be wasted.
