Chapter 113

113 The Eye Of Insight

Selma Payne’s POV:

I was going to visit Dorothy.

She had already woken up from her coma. Her body was fine, but her eyes were injured, and she needed to rest for a while.

This meant that she couldn’t remove the bandage from her eyes in a short period. I was a little worried about how she would move on from here.

“In fact, I can see.” Dorothy said, “Although my eyes are covered with a cloth, I can see everything before me, whether I open or close my eyes. It’s even clearer than before.”

Tracy speculated that this was an exceptional witch talent, so we had to ask the werewolf grandmaster for help.

Master Mary came to do a small test on Dorothy and then said with certainty, “It’s ‘the Eye of Insight’, an extension of the prophecy ability. This power is very rare, and I’ve only seen it in some ancient books. I don’t think it’s possible to find a young person with the Eye of Insight even in a place where witches and wizards live.”

Tracy continued. “I believe Dorothy’s strange eye disease is caused by the continuous consumption of her energy by the Eye of Insight. No wonder medical science could not find the specific cause.”

I asked Master Mary worriedly, “Is there a way to deactivate this power? Dorothy can’t live on like this. It’s too damaging to her body.”

” I’m sorry, girls.” Master Mary shook her head regretfully. “There are too few records about the Eye of Insight. Even the library of the past doesn’t have many records of it.”

“I think there are only two ways so far. One is to wait for Dorothy’s Eye of Insight to shut down after it’s exhausted. However, this might cause permanent eye damage and make her unable to activate it again. Or, we have to ask the witches and wizards for help. They must have more ways than us, but they may also refuse us.”

What two ‘good ideas’!

Tracy and the werewolf grandmasters wanted to help but were unable to. I held Dorothy’s hand tightly, hoping to give this terrified girl some strength.

“In these troubled times, I don’t think we can rashly ask for help from the witches and wizards. That would be a form of submission.” Dorothy said, “What if they use this kind of thing to threaten the witch in return? What’s her name again? Adele, right. Thank you, Selma. If I cause the werewolves to be at a disadvantage against the enemy, I will never forgive myself.”

“But your eyes can’t just wait,” I disagreed. “Now it’s the witches and wizards who are in the wrong. Telling us how to deal with the Eye of Insight is an additional condition. They won’t refuse.”

” No.” Dorothy shook her head. “Just because you won’t reject it doesn’t mean you won’t raise the price, right?”

To be honest, I could only try my best to comfort Dorothy. If Adele had left the original clan as she claimed, the sorcerers would probably not admit her as a compatriot. No one was willing to pay for the sin of a traitor.

It was very likely that they would do as Dorothy had said, raise the price on the spot, and force her to return the favor.

However, we couldn’t just let Dorothy’s eyes go. She was still so young. How could she spend the rest of her life with an eye disorder?

I quickly tried to find a way to deal with it, but I suddenly recalled that Dorothy’s father, whom I had never met before, was a prophet. This meant that even though he might not have the Eye of Insight, there must be a method to control it within his family!

I gave Dorothy a look, and she understood what I was thinking. She immediately asked Master Mary and Tracy to leave, claiming she wanted to rest.

After they left, I asked, “Does your father have a way?” He’s a prophet. I’m sure he knows what to do with these eyes!”

Dorothy lowered her head in desolation and whispered, “My father... Forget it. I’ve never seen him since I was young, and my grandmother doesn’t allow me to contact him. He might have forgotten about me, his daughter, or even my existence.”

“This has nothing to do with other factors.” I said, “You’re his daughter, and he’s your father. Taking care of you is his responsibility. He was absent from the first nineteen years of your life. Is he not even willing to help his sick daughter?”

Dorothy gave me a gentle smile.

Because of her silent resistance, I lost all my energy and fell beside her. I growled, “Is there no other way?”

“I can look through the books and notes my mother left behind.” Dorothy gently caressed my hair. “There are many things that belonged to my father in there. Maybe we can find some clues in there.”

“... This is the only way.”

I felt a little guilty. I had wanted to help Dorothy solve her problem, but in the end, she was the one consoling me instead. She had already flipped through the pile of books countless times. If there were any clues to the Eye of Insight in them, there was no way she wouldn’t remember.

I walked back to my room gloomily and saw a servant discussing the witch locked up in the dungeon outside the window.

That was right!

Adele! How could I have forgotten about her?

They were both witches anyway. Although she could not predict the future, it was not wrong to ask, right?

Thinking of this, I immediately ran to find my father.
