Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1096 The goddess is also a time traveler?
Could it be that the Goddess of Night is also a "traveler"?
As soon as this thought came into Angel's mind, she subconsciously rejected it.

How is it possible that a god, a god who existed in the Second Era and experienced all the changes and important events of the era, is also a time traveler like himself and Klein?
But Angel immediately thought of researcher Grisha, and the "ancient sun god" who created the world and found a way out for mankind in the dark era. He was also a time traveler.

But if the goddess is really a remnant of the old times like himself, why hasn't there been any "significant" performance for thousands of years? Just like the ancient sun god compiled a holy book derived from monotheism in the era when ancient gods were everywhere, named his offspring Adam, used the cross as a holy emblem, etc.; Roselle left behind countless inventions and works that did not belong to this era...

“No, the Goddess of Night, or rather, Her Church, still has some characteristics that are beyond the current era. For example, before it became an orthodox church, it began to advocate equality between men and women. However, the productivity and relationships at that time did not support such radical changes…

"Well, this may be related to the gender of the goddess before she became a god. Mother Earth, as another female god among the Seven Gods, also believes that women should have the same social status as men, but she pays more attention to reproduction and believes that this is the most sacred thing... Other churches did not pay attention to the division of labor between men and women until the Fifth Era when society was stable and productivity developed to a certain level, and began to encourage women to go out to work... This does not mean anything."

Angel kept asking questions in his heart, but he denied them. He looked at the person in the mirror again and couldn't help asking:
"Do you think it's possible that he is a 'traveler'?"

Since their memories and ways of thinking were consistent, Angel believed that the other party knew which god he was referring to without any explanation.

The person in the mirror, who had the same long blond hair, nodded and said:
"It's very likely. The Goddess obviously planned an action against us together with Adam. If these two fake 'blasphemous cards' were made by Adam, He would have to explain to the Goddess why the ritual of the 'immortal' witch could be completed on us... Moreover, He is very likely to know English..."

Angel's mind also emerged the English prayer engraved on the shell when the "Storm Gathering" bullet was first produced in this era, and he agreed with the guess of the man in the mirror.

Of course, there is another explanation for all this. If the Goddess was working with Adam, she would definitely pay more attention to Angel. It would be normal for her to respond to prayers and allow the Temple to quickly approve the application to join the Nighthawks. There is no need to add the assumption of a "time traveler".

"To confirm this, we can only pray to the goddess directly and ask her, but if our guess is wrong, it will undoubtedly lead to worse consequences..."

She said to the person in the mirror.

"Go discuss this with your Klein later. He has the right to know about this matter and may be able to give you some help and advice." The man in the mirror smiled faintly and said, "Let's talk about another matter, about the 'Salinger Blood Flag'."

I always feel that she is deliberately changing the subject, and there is another possibility for the promotion ceremony of the "Witch" card, that is, I really experienced a long time in this era, but my memory was modified by Adam and the goddess... Angel's eyes flickered, but he did not expose the little thoughts of the person in the mirror, but took over her words and continued:

"After a week of familiarization, I have become proficient in using the Red Priest's 'uniqueness', but I still feel like I haven't fully mastered it, as if it is still restricted by some force..."

As she spoke, she clenched her right hand, and an iron-black metal flagpole immediately appeared in her palm. At the top of the flagpole, the flag stained with blood spots and blood fluttered in the wind, but it seemed to be resisting and trying to stay away from Angel's grasp.

Around the two of them, invisible and colorless flames emerged from the void, and were immediately suppressed by the fog of the "City of Disaster", leaving only a small part close to the ground.

In this special mirror world formed by source matter, Angel can summon the mirror image of the "Blood Flag of Salinger" so easily. Otherwise, he still needs to communicate with the mirror world of Morola in advance and obtain permission from the "God of Wisdom" who still seals it.

Looking at the banner whose outline was illusory, like a shadow in a mirror, but made people want to kneel down and surrender, and Angel whose appearance and temperament suddenly became slightly different from his own, the person in the mirror was slightly stunned, and after a moment he looked away and said:
"Before the Fourth Epoch, the uniqueness of the Red Priest should have belonged to the Red Angel Medici, who was the cornerstone of his Angel King. After he, Soren, and Einhorn were killed by Alistair Tudor, they became the latter's spoils of war and part of the Blood Emperor. Both of them left their own marks on the uniqueness and gained its recognition.

"Therefore, only Gu Xin, who surrendered to Medici and possessed a trace of his aura, could safely approach '0-01' and would not immediately become a puppet; Lisa was wearing the sapphire ring of the 'Original Witch', and this evil god had a close relationship with Tudor. After his death, she had cooperated with the last god of death who possessed '0-01'. Perhaps she had some way to gain recognition as the only one...

"But compared to them, you have the favor of the 'City of Disaster', and the power of the source is higher than the 'uniqueness'. You should be able to fully control this seal. Unless, it is contaminated so badly that even the 'City of Disaster' cannot suppress it..."

"Are you talking about the power of the 'River of Styx', also known as the 'River of Eternal Darkness', which was once used by the God of Death?" Angel asked back immediately.

This crucial information came from the sleeping Mr. Azik.

"Yes, judging from the seal of Morola, the 'God of Wisdom' Herabergen should have found a way to use the River of Everlasting Darkness to fight against the City of Disaster and cause '0-01' to consume itself. The taboo that requires one to enter with a lantern, otherwise it will completely disappear, is the power of 'darkness'. This path, like the 'God of Death' and the 'God of War', is a manifestation of the authority of the source 'River of Everlasting Darkness'."

The person in the mirror explained patiently.

Darkness, Death, God of War... Angel repeated these three words in his heart, and suddenly thought of the moment when "0-01" in the underground mausoleum of Morora was about to be completely freed from the seal, and Herabergen created the deep darkness through "simulation" means, and he used the twilight light of the "Sword of Glory" transmitted by the mirror world, and the breath of death emitted by the "Wings of Death" stained with Azik's blood to seal it again.

Although none of these forces involved the River of Everlasting Darkness, and were essentially a confrontation within the City of Disaster, they also broke the balance of the two types of pollution within "0-01", allowing the forces of eternal sleep, decay, and death to temporarily gain the upper hand and reseal the belligerent "Blood Flag of Salinger". "So, we who only have the City of Disaster cannot fully utilize its power unless we remove the pollution from the River of Everlasting Darkness?"

Angel asked thoughtfully.

"The pollution of the source is difficult to remove and can only be balanced in some way. It is for this reason that the God of Death Salinger introduced the power of the 'River of Eternal Darkness' and eventually balanced the pollution of '0-01' and gained this power..." The man in the mirror chuckled, and it was unknown whether he was mocking the god who eventually let himself fall into the depths of the violent sea. "If we want to master '0-01', we can only find that source and use its power to fight the pollution."

But the body of the River of Eternal Darkness was sealed in the Western Continent. Perhaps there were some clues deep in Calderon, the City of the Dead, and underground in Trier... Angel silently noted this.

She suddenly remembered that the genie in the "Wishing Lamp" of Sealed Object 0-05 once said that even if she couldn't completely master the sealed essence, as long as she had the power of the "City of Disaster" and a little power of the "River of Eternal Darkness", she would be able to destroy the lamp and release the trapped Him.

Does this mean that there is some special relationship between the two sefirot that allows them to coexist and balance each other?

----

In the evening, at Earl Hall's mansion in the Queens District of Backlund.

Audrey opened the door and walked to the sun room on the first floor, which faced south and had a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling glass windows. She saw her father and brother Hibbert who were discussing something in a low voice.

Audrey's eyes dimmed again after taking a look at the steaming cup of Mount Saint-Desire coffee and the exquisite snacks and fruits that had hardly been touched on the coffee table.

She adjusted her mood, looked at her father, Earl Hall, and after the routine greetings, quickly got to the point and asked:
"Dad, I remember there is still a lot of food in our warehouse. Can I buy some of it? The stock of the Poor Relief Fund has been used up, and other nobles and wealthy businessmen are unwilling to sell."

The happy and relaxed expressions on the father and brother's faces due to Audrey's arrival froze.

"Audrey, you have done enough, and even crossed the line a little. This will embarrass the other nobles. And didn't we donate a batch of food last month at the initiative of His Majesty the King?"

Hibbert Hall said, frowning.

Audrey remained silent and looked at her father. His face, which was slightly wrinkled and no longer as handsome as it was in his youth, became serious and said:
"My thoughts are the same as Hibbert's, Audrey. We represent not only the Hall family, but also the dignity of the entire Loen nobility. This means that we can donate some supplies without affecting ourselves, but we cannot exceed the limit. It also means that we have to be in step with other nobles.

“I discussed this with you last time, and it won’t change this time or next time.

"I'm sorry to let you know that your father is a selfish man."

I know, I just want to give it one last try... Audrey, who had never used her "audience" ability when communicating with her relatives and whose persuasiveness was much lower than usual, said in her heart, nodded, and said no more. Instead, she quietly watched her father and brother discuss the war situation and secretly left without knowing when.

……

At night, after changing into a dress that was easy to move in and taking all the magical items, Audrey asked her dog Susie to help cover up, while she entered the sea of ​​collective subconsciousness and quickly arrived in the East District by jumping through different dreams.

It was already curfew time, and there were not many pedestrians on the streets except for the police patrolling with guns and some homeless people hiding in the corners.

Following the map in her memory, Audrey left the dream of someone who had dreamed that she was in a high-end restaurant and was enjoying an Intis meal, her figure outlined on the quiet street.

In front of her was a factory with the words "Black Bear Cannery" written on it and a four-fingered bear paw printed on it.
