When Phyllis told them the news, all the witches in the hall were excited.

“How can common people contact God?” Alethea’s voice was full of astonishment and incredulity. “You must be wrong about that!”

“Are you sure that the orange beam of the light was from his body? Have all of the witches in the western region of Graycastle checked it?” Celine directly asked the key point.

These two questions were the exact thoughts of everyone.

“I’ve seen it personally. Besides, his Key is so much more complex than Pasha’s requirements that the Five-Colored Stone can’t contain the mountain-like orange light.” Phyllis uttered her words slowly, “I couldn’t believe it at the beginning either, but it’s the truth.”

“Does he have magic power?” Pasha asked with the last shred of hope in her heart.

“It’s a pity that he can’t activate the Instrument of Divine Retribution.”

It was a great surprise to find the Chosen One, who has such a sophisticated key, in such short time, but what Phyllis had said disappointed all of them. Now that the surprise unexpectedly arrived, no one would have predicted that the Chosen one had the key, but did not have magic power, a discovery that completely overturned their previous idea.

Although the Chosen One had the Key, he could not connect to the core due to the absence of magic power, not even with the help of witches. They had fully proved in the Taquila age that common people could not endure the harm brought by magic power, even the tough ones could only sustain for about 30 minutes. They were unable to master the key points of using it.

She had thought that Senior Witches were likely to become the Chosen One and that it would be easier to find dozens of eligible candidates in the age when the Union controlled the Fertile Plains. However, what worried her the most was that the news brought by Phyllis totally broke her illusions. There were over 10 higher ascendants living in the small city of Neverwinter.

With such a surprising number of higher ascendants, the Witch Union was equivalent to some core organizations of the Union, such as the Quest Society and the Blessed Army that did not have more higher ascendants. Even so, Phyllis could not discover another Chosen One among them.

There were two totally different ideas in her mind. One was that it had been easier to eliminate the demons and that they had missed the opportunity, for they discovered the ruin too late. The other one was that they, in fact, did not have access to their targets at all and that it totally was their one-sided will to execute the plan of the Chosen One. If those Senior Witches could not meet the requirements of the Chosen One, would they be right to follow Lady Natalia and to determinedly resist the God’s Punishment Army plan of the Queen of Starfall City?

Pasha felt terrified when thinking of this idea. She shook her head to calm the surging thoughts down and then asked, “Did you mention that the king of the common people wants to cooperate with us?”

“He wants to know us and is willing to fight against the demons with us,” Phyllis said, “but I’ll only know the detailed requirements after a negotiation.”

“Do you think that he’s capable of fighting against the demons?”

“I’m not sure… his weapons are astonishingly powerful, but I pitifully know little about that.” Phyllis hesitated for a while and comforted them, “But Agatha is very sure about that. In her view, if Neverwinter is given two or three more years, it’s very likely to confine the demons to the west of the Impassable Mountain Range.”

“What does she think of the relationship between us and Neverwinter?” Alethea asked in a deep voice.
