[Combat Level: Approximately Rank 9, Lower Stage]
[Magic Trait - Weaver: New life, turmoil, dynamism, destruction... everything in the world dances together in the web, while only the master of the web remains hidden in the bottomless abyss, calmly observing.]
As the great eleventh seat, Eva Carson's abilities have been meticulously studied by all the great witches, awaiting only the right opportunity to take her place. But who understands our ulterior motives better than the Net Master? We both know perfectly well—they are delusional madmen who dream of becoming great.
Eva Carson, one of the greatest immortals in the series, may not be the oldest, but she is definitely the one who likes to hide the most, because she is not strong in combat.
Unlike the Dragon Queen, who was a complete slacker and ended up at the bottom of the list, Eva Carson wasn't always the second to last; she was once in the top three.
However, with the progress of the times, the strength of the rising stars has become increasingly exaggerated, and her weak combat power has been exposed to the fullest extent, making her a genuine soft target of the Great level. Every time a new Great is born, it means that she has definitely been beaten up again.
In contrast, Eva Carson possesses overwhelming intelligence capabilities. Her gaze is deep, her methods are ruthless, and her smile is cruel, for she is the witch's most formidable executioner.
A rumor says that when you see her phantom, your fate is already in the net, waiting for her to slowly come and feast on you.
But even if Eva Carson is weak, she is still weak at the Great level. Just based on her current terrifying accumulation of over 30 magic power, which is almost twice that of Theresa, it is certain that Jiang Kehan cannot defeat her at all.
Jiang Kehan felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at the other person's calm smile.
She didn't know Eva's attitude towards her or the Civil War, but this feeling of being put on a plate, just waiting to be eaten, was what bothered her the most.
Frustration, the kind of frustration that makes you want to draw your sword.
However, before Jiang Kehan could draw her weapon, Eva withdrew her gaze, raised her head slightly, and wore a satisfied smile.
“Kehan, the most important thing for a qualified diplomat is to never lie.” She gracefully gestured for Jiang Kehan to sit down, her expression relaxed.
“I promised Blake I would take care of you, and I will. So don’t worry, I just wanted to talk to you.”
Jiang Kehan sighed and withdrew her hand that was about to draw her sword, but instead of sitting down, she leaned against the wall and glanced at the other person.
"What do you want to talk about? I do know some things about the civil war, but you should know more than I do."
That statement is false. Who knows history better than someone who travels from the future to the past?
But for Eva, it was true.
Jiang Kehan was gambling that the other party had only focused on Theresa's subtle movements, which was why they had turned their attention to her. After all, Eva was only a middle-level witch at this time, and it was impossible for them to find out her identity under the cover of the time portal.
“Theresa?” Eva casually uttered a name, then picked up her black tea. Before Jiang Kehan could reply, she had already gotten the answer she wanted from the other woman’s expression.
"I see. I was wondering why Theresa went to other planets for a while. It turns out she wanted to avoid my sight."
"So, it seems her strength has improved as well," Eva remarked with a touch of emotion, her smile growing even wider.
She was the person who knew the other's magical properties and the nature of devouring best, besides Theresa, but she was also the person who trusted Theresa the most.
"Don't be afraid. Theresa and I are barely friends, Kehan, so I won't hold you accountable for these things."
Eva seemed to regard Jiang Kehan as Theresa's assistant, and her tone became more friendly.
Seeing the other party's attitude, Jiang Kehan's lips twitched. She really wanted to tell the other party that she was one of the enemies that Theresa faced before she died.
Clearly, the civil war that Eva perceived was on a completely different scale from the civil war that Theresa actually instigated.
One was similar to the struggle for supremacy in the Central Plains, a struggle for so-called legitimacy, while the other was Pearl Harbor, enough to change the course of history and drag everyone into the meat grinder of war.
"Personally, I don't think Theresa is as good as you think," Jiang Kehan said helplessly, covering her face. "But no matter what kind of war it is, are you prepared to evacuate the young children in advance?"
“Actually, no.” Eva’s gaze suddenly relaxed a little, and her restless heart regained its peace at this moment.
However, the smile became increasingly cruel.
Contrary to Jiang Kehan's expectations, Eva did not actually target Jiang Kehan through Theresa's subtle actions, or rather...
It wasn't until Jiang Kehan revealed that she knew about the civil war that Eva truly believed it.
That's right, Eva was trying to trick Jiang Kehan. Diplomats are notorious for lying; at least Eva is one of them.
She learned that there was actually only one piece of information, a single piece that was enough to change many people's perspectives.
Because Liang Hua said that Dahua Kong doesn't have Jiang Kehan.
Sometimes, Eva felt that Liang Hua was much more twisted than herself; at least she only occasionally supervised the entire Fran, while that guy…
Without relying on talent or magical properties, she simply used her vague sense of responsibility to deeply memorize the deeds of every witch in the Great Hua Kingdom, from birth to death.
The most bizarre part is that Eva simply cannot understand this behavior. If it were someone like her trying to interfere with the internal order of Fran, that would be one thing.
Liang Hua seemed to see himself entirely as a simple guardian, never interfering in the politics of Da Hua Kong Du, and rarely taking the initiative to change anything.
Even if a certain Great Hua Kongdu Witch dies of natural causes, she will not interfere.
Because she said, "That's exactly what they want."
This excessive mercy, this unconventional respect, and every tear shed in the other person's eyes for the normal death of the Great Hua Kongdu Witch—it all felt too heavy.
It was like torture.
So when Liang Hua said that Dahua Kong didn't have Jiang Kehan, then absolutely not!
Undeniable, beyond question!
However, since Dahua Kong doesn't have Jiang Kehan, and the other party seems to be a legitimate member of Dahua.
Surely it couldn't be someone who came back from the future...? Eva's gaze was silent, but filled with extraordinary joy.
Because she learned—witches have a future!!!
Chapter 352 The Silent Thing
The fear of being forced onto the gambling table, and the despair of having no hope for the future, have always lingered in the hearts of all the witches who know about the plan to hunt down the tyrant in an instant.
Especially Eva.
The more you know, the more you realize how luxurious and rare miracles truly are.
But she couldn't show even the slightest hesitation; she had to be more extreme and more desperate than any other witch!
This was her responsibility as a witch, and the punishment she was destined to receive.
But at this moment, knowing that the witch still has a future, Eva is so delighted, her smile so cruel, as if she has seen the corpse of the tyrant, Xuyu.
Civil War? VII Er Chan Ling Si Jiu Qi (Three) Division
What's a civil war? Even the worst civil war is the witch's own business. Anyone who dares to interfere will be killed by Eva!
But external wars are different, and the malice stemming from the "Supreme" is also different.
If you're not careful, the witch will cease to exist.
That's why Eva was so tolerant of the impending civil war—well, at least she didn't have to die in a foreign war to clean up the mess Theresa had created.
Congratulations, congratulations.
As for getting more information from Jiang Kehan?
Eva is already satisfied; there's no need for her to do anything reckless.
Her magical ability is inherently the one that allows her to sense the threads of fate and the historical context behind them. Even this test of Jiang Kehan was a "sacrifice" she made, risking drowning in order to get the outcome of a critical illness notice.
Eva was actually much more nervous than Jiang Kehan, and was even prepared to die during the test.
Thinking of this, Eva pulled herself out of her thoughts, turned her gaze back to Jiang Kehan, and asked.
“Since the civil war is related to Theresa, I don’t need to worry about it. I think she’ll know what to do.”
"But you want to see Keva Miller, right?"
Jiang Kehan really wanted to tell Eva that she should really worry, and she had to worry a lot, but thinking about her mission, she silently took back those words.
"Yes, I have some questions I'd like to ask her."
For example, how to become the Great Witch, and Fran's fate.
Jiang Kehan lowered her gaze slightly; she had already found what she wanted to do and what she had to do in this mission.
If the initial goal was simply to make progress and earn a quick buck, the ultimate goal is to return to a carefree and lighthearted life in the future.
At this moment, Jiang Kehan clutched her heart, feeling its pent-up resentment and questioning.
She knew she had to become the Great Witch—and then, on behalf of herself and the self within her, unleash hatred and fury upon the corpses of every enemy!
In a way that the other party wreaked havoc.
History is indeed a very good teacher.
Jiang Kehan seemed to see many people laughing in front of her, then patting her on the shoulder, brushing past her, and disappearing completely.
That unspoken responsibility was handed to her.
“I see.” Eva raised her head, then nodded affirmatively, her expression becoming increasingly pleased. “You truly have lived up to the name of a sage.”
"Also, the spells you taught Fran have been distributed by the witches until every little witch has learned them, so there's no need to worry."
Jiang Kehan didn't think her little tricks could fool the future greatness, the current Prince Xun.
But hearing what the other party said reassured her a lot, and she became less wary of Eva.
However, Jiang Kehan was still a little curious about how she got the title of "sage". How come she didn't know anything about it?
"Okay, is there anything else I need to do?" Jiang Kehan was missing the sunshine outside, perhaps because she missed every moment without Aiwa by her side.
So she plans to get it done quickly and wait for Keva Miller to come back.
"Of course I have. You don't think I would ignore your contributions, do you?" Eva looked at Jiang Kehan with feigned surprise, took off her monocle and wiped it, with a calm smile.
"According to the charter, if you were the French witch, I would grant you a noble title, but unfortunately, you have your own home."
Eva was talking about the future, but Jiang Kehan was thinking about Dahua Kongdu, but it didn't matter.
The important thing is the "reward" she hasn't mentioned yet.
"So, would you like to stay by my side, Kehan? I want to teach you something," she said.
Jiang Kehan's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously glanced at her shoulder out of the corner of her eye at the black cat that was still sleeping.
Of course I want to! This is a great future!
If the Dragon Consort, whom she had never met, had said these words, or if it were Liang Hua from the Great Hua Capital, Jiang Kehan would not have hesitated for a moment. That would be disrespectful to her!
But it was Eva who was chosen.
So Jiang Kehan hesitated. She was afraid that whatever underwear she wore today would be discovered by the other party, especially since she had quite a few secrets.
But it just so happens to be Eva.
If the other party is truly well-intentioned, Jiang Kehan will definitely obtain firsthand information from every corner of Fran, which will greatly benefit her mission progress and make the discovery process much easier.
