Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

At the same time, the Chief Alchemist tried his best but could not remove the Edge Power rooted in the blood.

If combined with some special items, this toxin would surely lead to the collapse of their entire Tower of Books.

The Black Hunter was their only hope.

An also waved and said:

"Tower Master, my teacher was injured recently and she hopes I can go to Moonstone City to train for a bit and come back soon."

"Hmm..."

The Tower Master placed his hand on his chest and waved goodbye:

"May we forge greatness together on the sea, in the name of my teacher and the White Tower, protecting your voyage."

"Goodbye..."

Chen Qi placed the box on the head of the Nearshore Dominator and then blew a whistle.

Fifty Black Sea Giant Elephants, a Lamp Sea Moon Dragon, and the Deep Sea Twelve Tents awakened from the sea and began to move...

Amid the roar of the tsunami, Chen Qi led the Book Saint towards Moonstone City.

...

...

Moonstone Islands, on the largest island near Maro Town.

On the island, the Ice Demon Pirate Group and the Hammer Phase Engineers of the Sea God Pirate Group, a total of five hundred people, were building the foundation of the sanctuary.

With adequate manpower, the sanctuary on this island had already taken shape.

And on the island, there was also a huge underground chamber.

This chamber was the prototype of the Crack Workshop.

At this moment, Mechanic Bree of the Ice Demon Pirate Group and the Ice Witch were planning the next steps of the Crack Workshop's construction.

Bree looked at the Crack Workshop in front of him.

With the large amount of Forbidden Magic Crystals brought by Chen Qi, the Crack Workshop had reached a considerable scale.

It looked like a huge black box, capable of enduring the release of Fourth Rank intensity!

However, the next step was to enhance the entire workshop's defense...

They needed it to withstand the strength of the Fifth Rank to truly start the complete Crack Workshop.

And this required injecting the highest rank runes into the Forbidden Magic Crystals—

It was simply impossible... Bree felt his power was limited.

Carving runes into the Forbidden Magic Crystals was beyond his knowledge and the limits of his spiritual power.

Bree glanced at the Ice Witch and asked:

"Witch, what should we do next?"

To reach this point, they were already at their limit.

The Ice Witch stroked her chin and said:

"I'm thinking..."

"Me too." Bree stroked his chin.

In ancient times, it was by 'thinking' a little that the great Hammer Phasers were able to build one miracle after another.

Give them a night, and they would surely create a miracle!

Three hours passed.

Palu, who was transporting the Forbidden Magic Crystals into the Crack Workshop, asked:

"How are things, you two?"

The Ice Witch asked:

"How is it, Bree, do you have a solution?"

"Yes, I do... If you give me a Forbidden Magic Crystal with runes already carved into it, I can extract the rune patterns and create a new one with the runes engraved."

"..."

The Ice Witch remained silent.

This was the limit of their knowledge and skills.

"So, unconventional methods are still necessary..." the Ice Witch thought to herself.

Without the Crack Workshop, their power growth would be severely restricted.

Without powerful Crack Weapons, they could not resist the Edge Powers at all.

As a last resort, they might have to kidnap a mechanic from the Steam Hand.

"By the way, Palu, is there something you need?" asked the Ice Witch.

Palu was responsible for building the sanctuary and gathering the missing materials from the Crack.

But today, he unusually came to the Crack Workshop.

Palu said excitedly:

"Because the Black Hunter is back, Witch."

"Little Black Fur!" The Ice Witch's eyebrows moved, and she said pleasantly.

Ahem, she was overjoyed but tried to suppress her excitement, looking towards the entrance.

Chen Qi was carrying a box, and with him was a Little Raven.

But there was also a little white-haired, blue-eyed boy with them!

An extra person... The Ice Witch frowned.

"Witch!" An's chest trembled as she greeted:

"Witch, Witch, hello... I am An, a small mage from Maro Town, and since I was little... I've heard of your legends!"

She had heard about the Ice Witch since childhood; she was the miracle of the Witch Sea!

In her peak, her power could rival the myths of Shell Country.

The Ice Witch was her idol!

She never thought she would actually meet the Ice Witch one day!

"Hello, little mage." The Ice Witch raised her head and smiled slightly.

Then, with a stern expression, she looked at Chen Qi:

"By the way, Qi, you went to the Tower of Books at the Crack Sea, right?"

"Yes." Chen Qi responded.

She had already heard that Chen Qi helped the Tower of Books resist the Black Blood Empire's sudden attack and even fought in a battle of Saints.

Luckily, he was okay... The Ice Witch put a hand on her forehead, her brows furrowed:

"It was too dangerous. If you had encountered the Blood Hunters or the Whale Father..."

Chen Qi smiled faintly and pulled out a large number of Black God's Soldier Potions and black-blood-made armor from his backpack card.

This was... The Ice Witch was slightly astonished.

Such a large amount of Black Whale Blood was enough for Fen to start researching an antidote for the Black Blood Poison.

The Ice Witch said:

"Well done... By the way, you didn't ask the Book Saint for anything, did you? Or trade something for a promise?"

In fact, she and the Book Saint were old acquaintances.

The Ice Witch's memories kept surfacing.

Back then, talented Hammer Phase Transcendents were rare on the sea.

Once, to resist the evil souls beyond the Edge, she had asked the fifteen-year-old Book Saint to forge a Crack Weapon called 'Evil Soul Killer'!

Even though it was severely delayed, the Book Saint still told her:

"Witch, like me, you are a strong one who overcomes death. In this long life, why bother about the trivial passing of time like those mortals."

It was only when the Book Witch was a hundred years old that the Book Saint finished forging the weapon.

Eighty whole years!

During that time, the Ice Witch had killed the Edge's evil souls not once, but three times.

Because of this, at her peak, the Ice Witch single-handedly stormed the Tower of Books, pinned the Book Saint to the wall, and beat him up crazily.

Back then, the five thousand hunters of the Tower of Books, the navy of the White Tower Federation, were nothing in her eyes!

She showed the entire sea what the true means of a witch were.

Unfortunately, this eventually disturbed the Lord of Lamps, the summit of the Lighthouse Hunters of the White Tower Federation, and the Book Saint's grandfather.

In the end, under the brilliance, the Ice Witch could not defeat the Lord of Lamps.

She had to submit to the Book Saint and apologize.

Because of this, they could be called enemies.

Even now, she could not forget the face the Book Saint made at her under the White Tower's protection, making funny faces at her.

However, with time and their fierce battles with the Edge Powers, her power now was only at the Fifth Rank, far from her prime as the leader of the Witch Assembly.

And the once-young Book Saint had become the ruler of the White Tower Navy.

"Sigh..." The Ice Witch sighed at the memories.

Chen Qi thought for a moment and replied:

"Big White Fur, I indeed made a request to the Book Saint."

"What!" The Ice Witch's eyebrows furrowed.

Undoubtedly, with the Book Saint's nasty character, he wouldn't fulfill Chen Qi's request at all.

"Qi, you don't understand her. She won't keep her promise, and she might even ambush you unexpectedly..." The Ice Witch shook her head.

Chen Qi threw the suitcase on the ground:

"I know, Big White Fur. That's why, to prevent her from breaking the agreement, I brought her here."

After saying that, Water Elf Number Three opened the suitcase.

Click—

The suitcase slowly opened, and inside, curled up like a sleeping princess, was a young girl.

The whole Crack Workshop fell into an unprecedented silence.

"Asilina..."

The Ice Witch froze in place, her mind going blank.
