章節 298: The Witch Mother's Identity

"I don't have a patron, Your Excellency," the Witch Mother replied.

"Humans in this world are still young to magic. It's impossible for you to know Ancient Magic unless a great patron taught you, Witch," Lord Narvim coolly stated before adding, "Don't take this Lord for a fool."

"Not a fool, but more narrow-minded than I thought," the Witch Mother boldly replied before saying, "Having a powerful patron isn't the only way I can know about Ancient Magic, Your Excellency."

"Oh? Then, why don't you enlighten this Lord?" Lord Narvim casually suggested.

"Only if you promise to let these two off with Contract Magic," the Witch Mother stated before adding, "If you can do that, I'll be willing to tell you how I know Ancient Magic, Your Excellency."

"Impossible," Lord Narvim rejected. "This Lord is still considering whether this Lord should spare all of you; don't take it as this Lord has already agreed. As far as this Lord is concerned, you could be an enemy of this Lord's tribe."
