I'm the King Of Technology-Chapter 1757 Lady Unknown’s Purpose?

News on the Witches?

Any news would be good for them.

Beri narrowed his gaze, staring at Lady Unknown intensely, not wanting to miss a single word uttered from her lips.

It wasn't just him, as the mere mention of the word Witches, had already caused the grim atmosphere to turn heavier.

'Although I have a hunch it is in indeed Queen Lucy's mother, one can never be too certain of what her true purpose is.'

'Why reveal yourself after so many years in seclusion?'

'Does she want Queen Lucy's attention so she can use Queen Lucy's love for her for a crueler purpose?'

'I still need to confirm if she is wearing human skin or not.'

'Just what is her purpose?'

Beri still had a million questions and suspicions he wanted confirmed before he could treat her as an ally.

As for how she knew he and the others were Baymardians, Beri had to admit it was his fault.

This was because Lady Unknown had once worked in Yodan's palace as a spy when he was 10.

She had seen him before. So the moment she spotted him in this small town several months back, she already knew he was from Pyno.

According to her, she still had undercover spies working as undercover witches in the few Taverns belonging to Witches.

It was popular knowledge that he, his mother and his sister, little Linda, were banished by his father.

Later, his mother, Mother Winnie, appeared in Baymardian newspapers, working in various government positions.

So it wasn't difficult to guess that he was now a Baymardian citizen.

Typically, commoners and even many bibles, don't know what their monarch looks like.

Only those in the Capital have a bigger chance of seeing their monarch.

The same goes for princes.

Unless one is serving under a particular prince, it's hard to know all royals.

So Bari has gone out several times, and many can't even recognize him.

Lady Unknown would've probably bypassed him too, if not for the fact that she saw him severally while doing private business of her own in his father's palace.

What more could he say?

It was probably fate that they could still meet after so many years.

Sigh... Beri couldn't help hating himself for attracting unknown attention.

And now, until things are confirmed, he will always stay vigilant against Lady Unknown.

At the same time, he didn't want to share any information with her, lest she ruin their plans and operations.

He thought she would be offended, but it seems she didn't care about his plans, only concerned with sharing her information with them.

Tilting his head, Beri looked at her with doubt flashing through his eyes.

'Is she doing all this for her daughter?'

"Lady Unknown, as I recall, k never requested you share your intelligence with us... If I didn't know any better, I would think you're brewing something nasty against us."

"I?" Lady Unknown said exaggeratedly. "How can little old me scheme against you all? Hey. Believe it or not, I don't want anything from you... It's rare for me to help my daughter's people out, so why not do it?"

Beri said nothing, watching her continue.

"Alright, alright, enough chatting. According To my source, Peetage's men have already destroyed 24 Hidden fortresses scattered around."

What? 24? So soon?

Hiss!~

Everyone was taken aback by Peetage's swift and ruthless actions.

However, they liked it. Peetage was using his anger to sweep the witches clean, attacking as many hidden fortresses as he could.

In short, he was doing the job his Majesty Landon requested they come to Tenola to do. So how can they not secretly cheer for him?

No matter how you look at this, it will never come back to bite them in the butt since they weren't in the equation at all.

They were also happy because this meant less exposure from the TOEP.

From their understanding, Lady Unknown told them that even though the TOEP were powerful, they had only been able to properly identify 7 fortresses belonging to the witches.

The witches have long known about the TOEP and were also hiding from them.

Those 7 foretees known to the TOEP, were quickly changed to trap sites by the witches ages ago.

Truth be told, she used to be one of those in charge of this matter back when she was a part of the witches.

800 years ago once the 7 locations were figured out, another war was launched with the witches barely winning.

Of course, they dared not dilly dally longer in those fortresses, deciding to burn any useful information and flee these sites.

Years ago, they slowly took over the abandoned site again, using it to trap several TOEP members who came around to find traces of their existence.

So yes.

They made all 7 fortresses to be traps while growing their population and building other structures within the continent.

Knowing the TOEP existed, of course, they had to counterattack. fr(e)ewebn(o)vel

Since then, no vital documents have never been kept in these 7 sites.

The TOEP also seemed to know their thoughts and had long strategically pulled back too.

They do send in Death Scouts to try to find information. And sometimes, they do succeed.

However, the information was never enough since the only ones who knew the location of the other fortresses were the elders and supreme ones.

Each fortress was labeled differently, and only the elders or those who could sit in a council knew where their sister fortresses were located.

Of course, during festivals, only those in higher positions can move around from fortress to fortress too.

These women were trained to withstand pain, with many taking lethal doses of poison before getting tortured.

Understand that these women believed so much in the goddess of Witchcraft that she could even slice off their own hands if they believed it was her will. freew(e)bnovel.com

So how can they betray the Goddess who is watching over them in the heavens?

The TOEP did succeed in capturing some of them but it was all for naught.

They said nothing and died feeling proud even upon Death's bed, knowing their goddess would welcome them in the heavens with open arms.

Heh.

Their brainwashed belief was indeed hard to crack down on. This was what kept these many Fortresses hidden till now.
