"Bella's mentor died a natural death."
Galina sighed:
"Originally, that lady was the oldest witch in the council, even older than Granny Cassandra. I am not saddened by this; a natural death is the best ending for a mortal. She foresaw her own death, gathered everyone at the council in advance, and with our companionship, she faced the end. The lady was at the Eleventh Rank when she died, and she seemed to be 270 years old."
"270... Is this the normal age of death for a witch?"
"It is said that witches of the Fifth Era, once they reach a high rank, can live at least five hundred years, but in the Sixth Era, this lifespan has significantly reduced. However, the number of witches in this era is small, and due to various reasons, their lives have been shortened, meaning early deaths, so there is no accurate average for normal circumstances."
She moved slightly closer to Shard on the sofa, and Shard found the scent of her perfume quite pleasant.
