“The powerful witch used the Miniaturization Magic on this mechanical clock, immersing it in potent black magic, creating in essence, a magic domain,” she said.

“Then she would need some servants to carry the Dragon’s Tooth into the heart of the clock and guard it for generations.”

The Old Witch shook her head, inhaling sharply, “So she chose some humans to enter this clock. The Miniaturization Magic shrank them too.”

“They are both male and female, able to reproduce here for generations.”

“If the Ambros plains are the breeding ground for humans of normal size, then this clock is the land of these little people.”

“I guess there must also be an unlimited supply of bread and water hidden inside for the little ones. Considering their size, that would not be hard to do.”

Ivita responded, “But having that many humans live in this clock for so long feels a bit cruel. But that’s not my business, the question is, was the witch truly just an Advanced Level Witch?”

“Temporary shrinking isn’t hard, but maintaining the magic to keep these many humans miniaturised, and even making them accustomed to it, is.”

The Hearthstone Grand Witch responded, “Indeed, that’s not something an Advanced Level Witch could accomplish.”

“If I am not mistaken, the witch that took part in crafting this clock probably has magic at Marquis Level or above.”

“Who gifted this clock to Parviga? I reckon that over time, the people of Parviga today have lost this knowledge.”

“This clock must contain a profound secret. Such an extensive effort to hide just one Water Dragon’s Tooth is unlikely.”

“Hold on…”

The Old Witch caught on, turning to Ivita, she said word by word, “Your Majesty, I have a theory.”

“This Miniaturization Magic, the shrinking of humans, and the Water Dragon’s Tooth, were all meant to seal something.”

“Our assumption might be incorrect all this time.”

“We thought the city of Parviga was merely keeping the Water Dragon’s Tooth as a collection. But now, it seems more likely that centuries ago, the Parviga City Council used the Water Dragon’s Tooth to seal something.”

Ivita nodded in agreement; he too found this guess to be most plausible.

“The Water Dragon’s Tooth has the attribute of water magic power; they likely sought to suppress something related to flame magic. What would that be?”

“Hearthstone Witch, is it possible for us to break the Miniaturization Magic from outside and retrieve the object from between the gears?”

The Old Witch shook her head.”This Miniaturization Magic is potent; the magical powers of both of us combined, or even the entire magical power of Parviga, would be far from sufficient.”

Ivita questioned, “Can we just move this mechanical clock then?”

The Old Witch shook her head and replied, “No, it’s imbued with a powerful magic that fixing it in place. Moving it might lead to unforeseen dangers. Besides, I doubt I could lift it.”

“However, we can go in and get the Water Dragon’s Tooth. Unlike the mortals, we, as wizards and witches, retain the same amount of mana even when shrunken. We can leave this clock at any time.”

Ivita contemplated the feasibility, “Then use a magic plant to seal this lounge to prevent anyone from discovering the secret of the clock during this period.”

“I estimate the people of Parviga themselves are unaware of the clock’s secret.”

“We need to make haste. As we are on Lady Alice’s side, we need to support her and ensure her victory.”

“However, Black Wolf and Knight Griffin have already been dispatched by me; both are experienced veterans.”

“They will be of great assistance to Alice.”

Initially, Ivita wanted the Old Witch to go downstairs to help Lady Alice directly, but he had second thoughts. What if he encountered a danger inside the clock that he couldn’t handle on his own?

The Old Witch is knowledgeable and powerful; he felt it would be safer for them to venture into the clock together.

Entering the clock together would be safer.

…

On the first floor of the City Hall, Lady Alice, protected by soldiers, hid in one of the rooms. She saw chaos rained on the first floor of the City Hall.

Initially, the soldiers from the noble faction had the upper hand due to the geographic advantage and Miss Alexei’s Blood Fog Magic and Ice Fog Magic. But now, with the death of Miss Alexei, an all-out battle had erupted.

For a while, it was unclear who would emerge victorious.

Lady Alice anxiously observed the chaotic battlefield. Unfortunately, as a woman with no professional level, she could do nothing but wait for the outcome.
