Tale of a Hedonistic wizard

Chapter 172: Witch Spire



As Jaegar peered out of the carriage window, he was greeted by the sprawling cityscape that lay before him.

The city stretched far and wide, its vastness only accentuated as the carriage descended towards it.

The urban landscape was an intriguing blend of modernity and antiquity, with structures that seamlessly melded into both the past and the present.

Grand houses and majestic mansions adorned the city, casting shadows that seemed to touch the heavens.

At the city's entrance, colossal statues stood tall, their stony gazes welcoming all who approached.

The carriage glided gracefully between these imposing figures, finally touching down within the city's bustling heart.

As Jaegar saw the city up close, he couldn't help but be in awe of Amnohdet's grandeur. The city was unlike any other, its unique charm was the result of a careful marriage between magic and architecture. Ships soared above in the skies, defying gravity itself.

The city's symphony filled the air, a blend of voices and the sounds of bustling streets where myriad races coexisted in harmony.

This metropolis, a melting pot of cultures and ambitions, held countless secrets and opportunities.

Jaegar's carriage came to an abrupt halt as it approached the spire. A traffic jam had blocked the road, with several other carriages alongside his own.

Impatience began to simmer within him as he waited for a few minutes, but there was no sign of movement. He decided to step out and investigate the cause of the delay.

Walking towards the commotion that had attracted the attention of the crowd, Jaegar discovered a gathering of onlookers forming a circle. The centre of their attention was two men locked in a fierce street fight. They pummeled each other with their bare fists, one of them shouting amidst the tumultuous cheers of the spectators.

One of the fighters yelled, "You bastard! You dared to insult our leader, and I'll knock your teeth out for that!" The other fighter responded with actions rather than words as the two men grappled fiercely.

Both of them appeared to be in their mid-thirties, seasoned warriors locked in a brawl for reasons unknown to Jaegar.

As Jaegar observed the fierce street brawl, his attention was diverted to a remarkable woman who entered the scene. She was dressed in a pantsuit with a jacket and a sheathed sword resting on her back. Her attire accentuated her figure, her dress hugging her body at the top and flaring out around her hips, which moved with a tantalizing grace.

She wore killer boots that added to her commanding presence.

Her striking black hair had subtle silver highlights, cascading in luscious waves down her shoulders and revealing her bare shoulders. Her eyes glinted with an enigmatic allure, and her expression remained impassive as she stood between the two brawling men without any fear.

The one who had been shouting earlier promptly ceased his aggression upon seeing her and addressed her as "Noonim."

Jaegar watched in fascination as the woman named Noonim seemed to command respect. That man, after seeing her, retreated from the scene, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

The term "Noonim" lingered in Jaegar's thoughts, a word that felt strangely familiar. With the street fight resolved, he made his way back to the carriage, his mind filled with intrigue about the enigmatic woman he had just witnessed.

The carriage slowly approached one of the towering buildings in Amnohdet, an imposing spire surrounded by several smaller ones. As Jaegar's eyes fixed on the grand structure, it seemed as though it had been plucked straight from a vivid painting. The spire was the epitome of Gothic architecture, a breathtaking sight that evoked a sense of wonder.

When the carriage came to a halt at the gates of the spire, a fully armoured lady guard emerged from the shadows. She inquired about the newcomer's identity, but before Jaegar could respond, he stepped out of the carriage and addressed her, "I'm Jaegar, sent by Angelina."

The guard's initial suspicion quickly transformed into anger. She brandished her sword, advancing menacingly towards Jaegar. However, before any harm could be done, another figure materialized seemingly out of thin air, gracefully landing between them.

This woman was dressed in a splendid gown with full sleeves and baggy cuffs, and her flowing hair was the colour of light orange.

With a tone of authority, she commanded, "Cease this confrontation."

The guard immediately knelt before the newcomer. "My apologies. This young man has been speaking disrespectfully towards the Reverend," she admitted.

The reverend she mentioned was Angelina, and Jaegar mentioned her name like she was some woman, which attracted the rage of the guard lady.

Jaegar could feel the intense aura from her and the woman dressed in a gown, he couldn't tell how powerful she was, and he couldn't seem to read her expressions either.

The mysterious woman turned her attention to Jaegar, her demeanour exuding a mix of curiosity and reproach. "And you," she inquired, "why do you freely utter her name?"

Jaegar, still somewhat baffled, replied with a question of his own. "Who are you?"

The woman introduced herself as Evanore, her voice hinting at a deeper knowledge. "I was informed of your arrival. Lady Angelina tasked me with taking care of you,' specially.' "

She emphasized the word "especially," making it clear that her role in his journey was significant.

Jaegar, although somewhat taken aback, responded, "Alright, then. Lead the way." His curiosity piqued as he wanted to see what was in the spire, that monument of a building was astonishing and looked like a wonder in the world.

Jaegar followed Evanore inside the grand spire, and as they walked, she couldn't help but voice her thoughts. "To be taught by her, you must really be a one-in-a-century genius."

He gave a modest smile, unsure of how to respond. "I don't know about that, but she's an incredible teacher."

Evanore nodded, her expression thoughtful. "She's not just a remarkable teacher, she's also an enigmatic figure. You're lucky to have her as your mentor."

Evanore's voice held a note of admiration and, perhaps, a touch of envy as she continued, "You can't fathom how many members of the Witch Spire covet the opportunity to meet her and receive her guidance."

Jaegar, though flattered by her words, remained humble. He recognized the immense privilege he had in being trained by Angelina. Her reputation clearly extended far and wide within the Witch Spire, and Jaegar was acutely aware of the rare opportunity he had been granted.

"And the thing that you came for, before you go to the library, you need to meet our lady in command of the spire. She told me to bring you as soon as you came."

'Like, I have a choice,' Jaegar grumbled under his breath, feeling slightly put out. All he had wanted was to explore the library, and now he was being directed to meet someone.

As he trailed behind her, he couldn't help but notice the graceful sway of her hips and her well-defined hourglass figure. A mischievous smile tugged at the corners of his lips, his weariness momentarily forgotten as he placed his hands on her back and followed at a leisurely pace.

Evanore continued to talk about the spire, but Jaegar's attention was focused more on her physical attributes, his gaze drifting downward.

Sensing the silence and feeling his eyes on her, Evanore glanced back, her brows furrowing with a slight frown. She then announced, "We have arrived."

Jaegar was led into a spacious room adorned with an array of decorative items, vessels, and stacks of books and papers strewn across a large desk.

There was a woman standing behind the desk, She stood at a tall height of 5'11", a striking stature for a woman, her long red hair cascading gracefully around her. Bright green eyes sparkled with a mature allure that Jaegar had never seen before. Her form was nothing short of beautiful, exuding an effortless, mature sensuality.

She boasted a flawless hourglass figure, her curves alluringly accentuating every inch of her physique. Her long legs seemed to stretch on indefinitely, leading down to her motherly hips and a rounded derrière that playfully teased, further emphasized by her trim waist.

But what truly captivated the eyes was her absolutely stunning bosom, a generous, full pair that was round and heavy, commanding attention from Jaegar.

As Jaegar's gaze lingered on her, he couldn't help but notice the elegant grace with which she carried herself. Her confidence radiated from within, adding an irresistible charm to her already captivating appearance. The way she moved, with a subtle sway of her hips and a gentle sway of her long hair, made it impossible for Jaegar to look away.
