My Fated Alpha Wolf King

The Witch Campaigns

Lu Ou stood at the center of the hall. He picked up the Sheriff's badge and examined it. Though made of leaf, the badge was quite hard, with fine craftsmanship, and felt substantial in his hand. Lu Ou lifted the badge and waved it: "I... don't want this badge. The reason I've stepped forward to run is mainly to rally a wave of votes for my Lady Witch." He looked at Xia Na, affection shining in his eyes.Xia Na chided, "If you don't want the badge, you'd do better staying in the audience and voting for me.""As a knight, I should charge at the front. Sitting obediently below and voting is not my style." Lu Ou placed the badge back on the platform and continued, "However, being the first to speak, there truly isn't much to say. Right now, more than one person is claiming to be the seer. But only one person claims to be the witch. Those voting below, if you're uncertain who the real seer is, you might consider casting your vote for Xia Na. After all, she is a sorceress who graduated from the illustrious Rose Academy. Plus, with me, a knight wielding the golden sword of justice, standing beside her to guarantee her, you should feel at ease voting for Xia Na."Lu Ou glanced at Xia Na and saw her roll her eyes at him, a clear signal for him to get off the stage quickly and stop spouting nonsense. Lu Ou spread his hands: "Alright, that's all I wanted to say. Next, I invite the Lady Witch to speak." He walked over to Xia Na and made a gesture inviting her onto the platform.Xia Na said, "Your speech was barely different from skimming water. You might as well have just said 'pass'."Lu Ou sighed: "Fine, I'm wrong again. Wooing the Lady Witch is truly harder than fighting a b****y battle on the battlefield."Xia Na pinched his arm, then walked before the platform. She picked up the Sheriff's badge and placed it on the brim of her violet high hat: "Everyone, take a look. Doesn't this Saintlight Sheriff's Badge suit my hat perfectly?"Lei Yi pointed at Xia Na: "Wow! You look just like that other witch sister from before!"Xia Na asked, "The witch sister you speak of—was her name Xia Ta?"Lei Yi was about to answer when Kashan covered his mouth. Kashan said, "When someone else is speaking, you mustn't interrupt. You can talk when it's your turn. Otherwise, I won't protect you anymore!" Cowed by Kashan's threat, Lei Yi indeed shut his mouth, though his face showed a deeply wronged expression.Xia Na thought to herself: That boy seems mentally confused, but fools often speak the truest words. What I can confirm now is that my sister Xia Ta is definitely connected to Snow Valley. But as for what exactly happened, I'll need to investigate further. The reason I'm running for Sheriff is so that, if elected, I can thoroughly investigate this matter. There's no need to press the boy further right now.With that in mind, Xia Na said, "Of the twelve people here, some know me, some don't. Regardless, allow me to formally introduce myself. My name is Xia Na. I am a sorceress who graduated from the Rose Academy. For everyone's information, mages are divided into three tiers: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Beginner mages, also called magic apprentices, are cultivators who have just glimpsed the threshold of magic but haven't yet specialized. Intermediate mages are cultivators who have attained a certain level of magic proficiency and have transferred into a specialized magical profession, such as seer, witch, traveling mage, magician, graveyard keeper, and so on. Advanced mages are cultivators whose magical ability has broken through the bottleneck of their profession. These individuals are called grand sorcerers or sorceresses. They typically possess extremely high innate talent and relentless effort. Among magic cultivators, they are the rarest and most elite." As Xia Na spoke, she glanced at Ming Yue. Ming Yue instantly felt a strange sensation, and an image surfaced involuntarily in her mind of Xia Na saying to her yesterday, "If your good identity is confirmed, I will recommend you to enter the Rose Academy to study."Ming Yue thought to herself: Mother always hoped I would become an outstanding sorceress and bring glory to our Clear Spring family. I absolutely cannot disappoint her. Entering the Rose Academy to study is the crucial first step. Since the Witch Sister has already made that promise, as long as I can prove myself today, she will help me. Ming Yue quietly clenched her fists.Xia Na continued, "After advancing to an intermediate mage, I chose to specialize as a witch. While a witch's direct spellcasting ability is weaker than a traveling mage's, we excel far more in the use of poisons and medicines. This compensates for the witch profession's lack of powerful offensive spells. Compared to a seer, we witches lack the innate gift to peer into people's hearts. But in terms of combat ability, the witch undoubtedly has the upper hand. So, to those few of you voting below, I hope you will cast your votes for me. My leadership ability is by no means inferior to a seer's. Besides, as this knight just said, there's currently more than one person claiming to be the seer. If you don't want to cast the wrong vote, voting for me is the best choice, isn't it?"Xia Na swept her gaze over the seven people voting below. Ba Diyou was staring at her with wide, fixed eyes. Foxiu wore an expression of disdain. The faces of Fei Tuo, Satan, Lei Meng, Amu, and Kashan revealed little. Xia Na considered privately: Of the seven voting below, Foxiu will naturally side with Bizeros. Fei Tuo will also stand with Ming Yue. Those two votes are basically impossible for me to get. The key lies with the five villagers of Saintlight Village. It's highly likely they won't vote for that i***t boy. If I'm to win the Sheriff election, the key is securing their votes. Looks like I need to put more force into my speech.Thus, Xia Na produced a bottle of red potion from her bosom and asked, "Do you know what this is?"Seeing the potion, Lei Yi cried out, "I know! I know! That's the divine water used to save people's lives!"Xia Na thought: This little boy knows quite a bit. Calling him an i***t might be doing him a disservice. She said, "Correct. This is called 'Rose Potion'. It possesses the miraculous ability to rapidly stop bleeding and heal wounds. A witch usually carries two types of potions on her person. One is the dark green 'Heart-Eroding Poison', specifically used for poisoning enemies. The other is this Rose Potion, specifically used for saving people. For anyone who has been attacked, as long as they haven't been decapitated on the spot, giving them this potion within half a day guarantees they can be brought back from the brink of death. I promise: if I become Sheriff, I will patrol the village on guard every night. If I encounter someone being killed, whether wolf or human, I will certainly use this potion to save them. In other words, as long as I am here, every night in the village will be a safe night. The seer's verifications or the Holy Light's judgments can proceed slowly until all the wolf-kin are found."Xia Na's speech drew applause from several Saintlight villagers. Ba Diyou was the first to declare, "The Lady Witch is truly formidable! This way, the wolf-kin's room to maneuver is greatly compressed. An excellent idea! I support the witch!" The others nodded frequently. Amu was grinning so much his eyes narrowed to slits: "That way, wouldn't the wolf-kin have no way to commit evil? Wonderful! We're safe now, hee hee, safe!"Seeing her speech had gained the approval of the majority, Xia Na felt secretly pleased. She turned to Fei Tuo and said, "Finally, I'd like to say a word to the Guardian. I know you are very protective of Sister Ming Yue. But please rest assured, if I am elected Sheriff, I will certainly handle matters impartially and ensure Sister Ming Yue receives a fair judgment. I harbor no prejudice against her whatsoever. On this point, please believe me absolutely. I also want your vote, and I hope you will give it to me." Upon hearing her words, Fei Tuo stroked his chin with his hand, noncommittal.Xia Na didn't press Fei Tuo further for a stance. She removed the badge from the brim of her hat and placed it back on the platform: "Wearing this badge felt quite nice. I hope you'll let me continue wearing this Saintlight Badge shortly. My speech is finished. Next, please." She finished speaking and walked over beside Lu Ou.Lu Ou said, "Had I known your speech state would be this good, I wouldn't have bothered getting on stage to rally votes for you."Xia Na retorted, "Aside from causing chaos, when have you ever been able to help?"
