Chapter 2158: Katerina

Under Qiao An's curious gaze, the mysterious girl rode her cane on her side, and slowly landed from midair, her feet floating on the ground.
The girl was wearing a snow-white fur cloak. She took off her hood with her backhand. A veil embroidered with a skull pattern covers half of her face, showing only her high nose and a pair of beautiful dark blue eyes. The curly long hair draped over his shoulders, giving Qiao An a kind of, Emmm... how to say it, pretending to be noble and glamorous, but actually a bitch.
The masked girl grabbed the staff hanging in the air, walked up to Qiao An, and nodded slightly in greeting.
"Young friends, don't you look like a local, is it convenient to talk?" The girl's slightly hoarse voice sounded extraordinarily sexy.
"I am indeed not a local, but a traveler passing by here, dear madam, how do you call it?"
Qiao Ann was a little bit cramped when being touched up by a strange woman.
"My name is Katerina, and I am a witch who travels in this area." The girl pointed to her veil and said apologetically: "Sorry, due to church regulations, I can't take it off in front of an unfamiliar opposite sex. Veil, please forgive me for any rudeness."
Listening to her politely speaking, Qiao Ann's impression of the girl he met on the way improved greatly.
At this moment Clark came over, stared at Katerina's veil, and tentatively asked: "You came from the temple?"
Katerina was taken aback for a moment, and then asked: "You also know the Styx Temple?"
Clark smiled and nodded: "Not only do I know, I have been to the Temple of Styx!"
Katerina frowned, her eyes showing a dubious look.
Clark reported the names of himself and Qiao Ann, and found that Katerina had no reaction, and felt very shameless. He explained to Qiao Ann embarrassingly: "Not all the witches of Styx are stationed in the temple, and there are a lot of them. I’ve seen it, but it’s normal if people don’t know me, hehe!"
Qiao An nodded his understanding.
"Brother Clark, Ms. Katerina's veil, is it a sign of the Styx Witch?"
"Yes! The witches of Styx wear a veil from morning to night when they go out. The white skeleton on the black veil symbolizes death, half of their face is exposed, and represents the vitality of life. In this way, they worship the underworld goddess pay tribute."
After listening to Clark's explanation, Joan immediately thought of Ms. Hull's beautiful and charming half-length body, which was indeed somewhat like a masked witch.
Katerina listened to the two chatting, her blue eyes turned slightly, as if she was thinking about something, she suddenly interrupted.
"It is not convenient for the two parties to disclose the destination of this trip?"
"My brother Qiao'an and I are going to the Temple of Styx. If you also drop by, how about we go together?" Clark said enthusiastically.
Katerina tucked her long curly hair behind her ears, and said flatly: "I am used to going alone, and besides, I don't plan to return to the temple for the time being. I won't accompany you."
"Since it's not going in the way, then bye." Clark shrugged indifferently. "Brother Joan, let's go."
Qiao An nodded and was about to mount the horse on the rein, but was stopped by Katerina's hand.
"Mr. Vader, if I read it right, you should be a spellcaster, right?"
Qiao An thought for a while, and felt that there was no need to conceal it, so she frankly told her: "I am a mage, Ms. Katerina."
The witch gave a meaningful "Oh", and then asked Qiao An, "Mr. Mage must be very knowledgeable. Have you ever heard of a creature like'Witch Crow'?"
"Witch crow?" Qiao An thought with a frown, and replied slowly: "I have read about this creature in the literature. It is said that the witch crow looks similar to a normal crow, but it is very smart and can communicate with people. And he was born good at witchcraft."
"The witch crow is not only good at witchcraft, but also Ms. Hull's favorite pet, so it is respected by the Hull church as the "Holy Bird"." Clark added after Joan's words.
"It is said that every girl who aspires to become a witch of Styx has to conclude a contract with a witch crow. The witch crow is not only a favorite of the witch of Styx, but also a bridge for communication between the witch and the goddess of the Hades. Get enlightenment from the goddess, and then comprehend more and more powerful witchcraft."
Qiao An nodded in agreement: "The book also said that the witch crow likes a cold and dry environment. Nifolheim is one of the main habitats of the witch crow. Unfortunately, we did not see Even a wild witch crow."
Katerina narrowed her blue eyes and said softly: "The Witch Crow is a very smart magical beast. Most of them live in hidden valleys deep in the snow-capped mountains. They rarely appear in front of humans. It is normal if you don't meet them."
"Ms. Katerina, you are a Styx witch, why is there no Witch Crow Familiar by your side?" Qiao An asked.
The witch sighed, a faint sadness appeared on her face.
"You asked about my sore spot, Mr. Master, I suffered an accident not long ago. I managed to save my life, but lost the Witch Crow Familiar, and I am looking for a new Familiar."
"Can't you cast a spell to summon a new Witch Crow?" Qiao An asked in surprise, "If our mage loses a familiar, we can easily recruit a new one."
"The significance of the magic familiar to the witch is far greater than that of your mage, and it cannot be easily replaced."
Katerina sighed, and then said: "Until I get a new familiar, I can't improve my professional level, nor can I understand new magic and witchcraft."
"This is terrible!" Clark said sympathetically.
Qiao An didn't say anything, and the confusion in his eyes deepened.
How can Katerina’s statement not match what Aunt Gusilin said? Is the Stygian witches special?
"In fact, I have found the valley where the wild witch crows live, and I have asked the leader of the witch crows, hoping to find a new partner, but the witch crow leader has presented me with a problem." Katerina wanted to say again. only.
"What problem?" Clark asked with concern.
"The witch crow in the valley invented a brand new witchcraft, which requires at least thirteen crows to work together to temporarily create a teleportation array to any place in the world."
"Wait!" Clark raised his voice, "Ms. Katerina, can you use the teleportation array you are talking about in the Niifolheim area?"
"Of course." Katerina nodded and smiled.
"That's weird, wouldn't the teleportation spell be disturbed by the magic mist that enveloped Nifolheim all the year round?" Clark asked in surprise.
"The magical teleportation array invented by the witches is that it is not affected by the magic mist and can accurately deliver the people who step on the teleportation array to the destination." Katerina emphasized, "In fact, the witches The original intention of inventing this witchcraft was to overcome the interference of the magic mist."
