I, the villain, trained the loser into a dark boss

and……

The relationship between these two people now...

Although she had seen Leah's appearance after losing Will, she expected that this would happen if they met again, but... the degree of intimacy and openness between the two still exceeded her expectations.

Liz's expression softened a little, her eyes turned away from Leah and looked at Will who was "protecting" behind her, and even her tone did not sound like she was targeting the enemy.

"That child of the System family...the child who was supposed to die. You should answer my question first."

Liz's tone of voice indeed sounded like an elder - only Leah knew that she wouldn't pretend to be an elder like this when they were two people.

Maybe this is the habit of witches. After being treated as a child for a long time, I begin to want to show my age in front of others all the time.

"First of all, let me state that I am no longer a child of the 'System' family. At least since I died once, I don't like that name."

"..."

When Liz heard this statement, she became more serious and silent for a while.

"I call you that because...there are some elements in you that are more and more like that bastard Carver System. Heh, I hope you can prove to me that you are not a bastard."

"Putting me next to someone like Carver, who is also an 'enemy' to me, I think it is a great insult to me." Will finished with a solemn statement, "Well...but, he turned out to be an 'enemy' to me." Has the witch done something really bad?"

Leah noticed that Liz's attitude had softened, her raised arms relaxed, and she placed the staff on the ground.

"Um...so what happened?"

"Let's answer that question first - do you know Li Weiqi?"

Once again, Liz was just asking "Will" a question, but it was more like she was really carefully examining Will's "qualifications."

"As mentioned before, we know each other. But let me explain in advance that Li Weiqi is not my savior. Let's just say... a quarter of my life was saved by Leah."

"……I?"

Leah was a little surprised.

Although Will's enthusiasm after meeting again was indeed a bit "inexplicable", he also said it here without any disguise.

But despite being surprised——

"Wait a minute, what does four or a quarter mean?"

"Okay." She agreed, but Liz sighed lightly at the end of the sentence. "So, you...because of Li Weiqi's so-called mission, you asked someone to spread the news that Leah was kidnapped and tricked me into coming here?"

"This...this..."

"……Um?!"

When Leah heard this, she subconsciously took two steps to the side.

Although she was really determined, she still hid aside when she heard these words.

"yes."

Will nodded unabashedly.

"Wait... Will, you... you didn't tell me at all, did you?! You... deceived me there in the first place. It turned out that you had this purpose?! You, you... you started... Was he planning to...use me?"

Leah took another step back.

"Hmm... But, didn't Teacher Leia say that? If you want, I can use you as much as you like."

"I...uh...you..."

Leah was a little incoherent for a moment.

Although it seems that she should be angry about this matter, but... think about it carefully, in the end, it was also what she said, "If you want revenge, you can use me as much as you like"...

"And...if I really 'just' want to go through this step and deceive your good mother, then there is no need to cure your depression of the magic circuit afterwards, right?"

Will's smile was something Leah couldn't refuse.

"Are you arguing for yourself?"

"I led Liz here by the way. My real purpose is indeed... to come to Leah with a new identity alive, and... to let her understand my thoughts. I am not lying."

…

After hearing this, Leah stepped aside, her face flushed.

She deliberately wrapped one side of her ponytail around her neck to block her blushing face.

Will didn't tell any riddles, didn't have any "desire for performance", and the words he confided to the elders... were so sincere that she was happy and shy.

Of course Leah knew that.

In order to make her realize what love is, and to make her completely break the depression of the magic circuit, Will not only made a series of plans, and spent three months of "suspended death" running for it, he even... smoked He used a lot of his own blood to create that liquid.

Even without the sincere look in his eyes, just by virtue of these actions, Leah believed what he said.

"Alas." Liz sighed again, "I don't doubt your sincerity. After all, the magic circuit in you is the same as that of the witch, and you are the most honest existence, but..."

When she said this, she paused. Looking at Leah, who was completely disciplined and "obedient", she seemed to be hesitant to finish the second half of the sentence.

"only……?"

"Look. This is what I said, you are...somewhat similar to that Carver. You are very good at playing with women...especially infatuated women who are good at playing with their love brains."

Liz put down the staff in her hand, and the tone of this statement was more like ridicule.

"Hmm...is this a compliment or a scolding?"

"O-Mom!"

Realizing that Liz's words were more damaging to herself, Leah pulled her ponytail and couldn't help shouting.

"I...I don't have a love brain. I am sure that like you, I have found a love that can serve as the witch's 'fuel' - okay, but if you say I am infatuated, I admit it."

"Okay, okay."

Liz's recognition seems to be more "dotted". After all, for her, she... did see a more mature and healthy Leah than when she left.

She then turned to Will.

"Let's talk about the last business. You should know why the witch refused Li Weiqi's help - even if in a sense, we are all on a united front against Carver and the Empress of Death Hall."

"I know." Will nodded, "Because...she didn't come up with what she promised you. So the deal collapsed."

"Things? Wait, Liz...when did you have a transaction with that person?"

"I helped them transport some small things to the 'inside network' of the dungeon, something that can give the dungeon controlled by Carver and the Death Hall some countermeasures."

"I see...Eh?! Then what you want is..."

"The whereabouts of the witch Ya'er."

Will said the answer directly.

Chapter 374: The Witch's Corridor

"Oh? It seems like you do know more than I thought."

After hearing this answer, Liz seemed to have a slightly higher "evaluation" of Will.

"Wait a minute, Will, how could you know..."

On the other side, Leah showed a surprised expression.

"I know Ya'er should be normal. As the origin of the witch, the entire Entak should know about her - after all, she is already a character living in our history books, especially the part about magic."

The first person to write the name witch into history, Ya'er was also the one who brought "ancient magic" into everyone's sight. She played an important role in the history of Entak.

"For humans, the legend of Ya'er should stop at...she is dead, right?"

Not only "human", Leah's previous impression also stayed here.

"Yes. Ya'er is dead. Leah, do you know how she died?"

Liz said calmly. Liz is also younger than when "Ya'er" was still alive, so she probably has never met Ya'er.

"She died during a human crusade - at that time, the relationship between humans and witches was still very bad. Later, due to the development of ancient magic, it eased slightly."

"You also learned the history of witches very well."

"...Then I won't tell you. In fact, I went to the human world later and found it from their classics. You didn't tell me at all."

She was very angry that her mother did not teach her the most important thing.

"But, if I remember correctly... Mother, you said personally that you are looking for her whereabouts. So, is she... just like Will, she is not actually dead?"

"No. She is indeed dead. Completely dead."

"Then how..."

"But just because she's dead doesn't mean... we can't find her whereabouts."

Liz crossed her arms and now looked at Will.

"This place has been conquered by you, and it will surely collapse soon. Why don't we talk about more things 'outside'?"

Liz is right.

The sky above the end of the ice abyss has begun to show an abnormally deep black color that does not belong to the blue sky. The ice cubes under their feet also turned into water little by little.

It is estimated that the "existence" of this underground city will not last long. Before long, the entire Ice Abyss of the End will collapse and disappear.

"It's not safe." Will commented coldly. "It is the most unsafe in the city of the Adventurers Association. Of course, it is also unsafe in the underground city...unless..."

"You kid, you know how to make plans."

Liz glared at Will, clearly reading his thoughts.

"Hey, with the witch's ability to move so conveniently 'inside' the dungeon, can't I just take a look and see what's going on? What should that passage be called...the witch's narrow passage?"

"Will! It's time to improve your taste in naming."

"The Witch's Corridor—the passage that shuttles between various dungeons, we'll call it that internally."

She touched her ring and seemed to take out a paper knife from it.

Using the "air" of the dungeon as her paper surface, she stretched out her paper knife and drew two straight lines horizontally and vertically in the air.

It is somewhat similar to the first time Leah drew the portal with chalk, except this time, in front of Will, a square piece of paper fell in the entire space, and in the blank space left by the paper, a long line appeared. long corridor.

This corridor is like a museum corridor, with portraits hanging on both sides, and the decoration is classic and luxurious.

"So this is how the door opens..."

Leah had always used the ready-made "passage" in the witch colony to walk before. She had never seen how this door opened.

The witch can walk in different dungeons and break through the physical boundaries of the city, relying on this long corridor.

"Use the space knife, one hundred thousand at a time. Boy, I'll put it in your account. Remember to pay me back when you take back Carver's family property."

Liz put the knife away lightly.

"Hey, hey, hey, what if my revenge plan makes the Systrom family bankrupt tomorrow?"

"Hmm? You shouldn't be the kind of sentimental person who would be blinded by the anger of revenge and refuse the money in hand, right?"

"..."

"Pfft."

Liya seemed to have seen Will lose in bickering for the first time, especially when this person was her mother, she laughed out loud.

"In theory, only people with witch blood can pass through this corridor, but now you should have such 'qualifications'."

Liz stretched out her hand and waved to Will.

"Will try it?"

Will approached carefully, just stretched out a finger, pressed against the door frame, stretched out his hand to explore, and then took it out.

"It's really okay. It looks like you can walk."

"Don't be so timid, if you want to try, just go in."

"What if this thing can tear me apart, cut me in half, or turn me into molecules? I don't want to die again and let Leah be a widow... Hey wait..."

Will just finished speaking, and he was pushed in by Leah from behind.

"Will, you are still so smooth-talking!"

"It seems that your relationship is indeed... very good now?"
