RELEASE THAT WITCH

Chapters 256-260

Chapter 256 The Prologue to a new life

After the basket landed on the ground, a woman who seemed to be around thirty years of age who had red hair that came to her waist climbed out of the basket and greeted them, "Hello everyone. Welcome to Border Town. My name is Wendy." She then looked to Ashes and showed a charming smile. "You also came."

Is she the witch Ashes mentioned before? Taking a closer look at the two, Sylvie came to the conclusion that they were already familiar with each other.

"Welcome, you can call me Anna." A witch with bright eyes appeared in front of Sylvie. Her two blue eyes were as pure as water and also very eye-catching. However, what was even more mind blowing was her magical power – it was tremendous, gave off a profound and resounding feeling and seemed to hardly contain any flaws. It looked like slowly turning cube that was composed of three colors, black, white, and gray, which gathered all of the surrounding magic and twisted it into its orbit.

How astonishing is her power? It was the first-time Sylvie saw magical power that could release such a sense of oppression.

"Hey, my name is Lightning!" the little girl who had been flying beside the basket said. Maggie was sitting on her shoulder.

"Googoo!"

When all the witches of Sleeping Island had been introduced by Ashes, Wendy smilingly invited everyone to climb aboard the basket.

"This huge air sac above our head is called a hot air balloon, as long as it is provided with hot air, it will be able to take us across the mountains, and towards our destination." She paused, turned towards Ashes before she asked, "Do you really not want to come along and take a look at Border Town? I think His Highness would also want to see you again."

"He would not welcome a person who intended to lure away his witches," she laughed, "I will trouble you to take care of these children."

"Alright..." Wendy pursed her lips, looking as if she felt regretful. "Rest assured, I will treat them with care."

"In that case, everyone pay attention" Anna reminded, "Cloud Gazer is about to rise into the sky."

Sylvie only felt a slight tremble at her feet before the basket had already left the ground. Sticking her head over the edge, she saw Ashes and Molly waving at them. As the hot air balloon rose, the scene on the ground became smaller and smaller, soon turning the two into fingernail-sized spots – no matter what, their new life would soon begin.

It seemed that Wendy had the ability to control the wind and thus the hot air balloon which was under her control flew towards Graycastle and the mainland.

It was Sylvie's first-time overlooking the earth from up in the sky. Even though the earth and rocks couldn't stop her exploration, having such a large field of view available to her was nevertheless a new and odd experience. So when she tried to evoking her magic eye, she never expected the chaotic flood of scenes which came pouring into her mind – the cliffs and mountains hidden in the ocean depths, the underground rivers connected to the sea, the animals bones buried in the earth, as well as the ever-changing subterranean rock strata... Trying to arrange this flood of images Sylvie felt the onset of a splitting headache just as her magical power rapidly dropped. Hurriedly interrupting her magic eye, Sylvie sat on the ground and leaned against the basket wall, slowly trying to catch her breath.

"Are you alright?" Someone asked. Opening her eyes, she discovered that it was Wendy who was asking.

"Well, I'm merely a little... dizzy."
