Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1149 Sister
The air in the hall was still filled with the smell of moist earth and the stench of burning limbs, but the man greedily raised his nose and took a few breaths, as if he had just awakened from a long dream that had lasted for a thousand years.

His dark eyes were filled with confusion, and he propped himself up and looked around.

The first thing that caught my eye was a translucent mask with strange symbols drawn on it that had fallen beside the main entrance of the hall.

As soon as he saw the mask, the memories in his mind became clear, reappearing like a revolving lantern:
He is the youngest son of the ancient god Flegra, a natural-born mythical creature of the "Fool" path, and the offspring of the latter who bred in order to expel the excess extraordinary characteristics in his body, a "Miracle Master" magic wolf.

He grew up in a chaotic and barbaric environment, and his only impression of his father was that he was cruel, bloodthirsty and crazy. Other subordinate gods also had more or less similar temperaments, but the "goddess of doom" Amanesis was the only one who met his aesthetic standards, but she always hid in the dark and rarely appeared.

In the civil war among the ancient gods, he witnessed the fall of his father with his own eyes. The wolf blood of that powerful ancient god was spilled all over Amanesis' body, and some characteristics and a certain "uniqueness" that had not yet been expelled from the body fell into his hands due to the traction of aggregation.

Afterwards, he and a sister fled the kingdom of the Demon Wolf Clan, dodging the pursuit of other gods and the Angel King, and eventually established a secret kingdom in the uninhabited mountains of the northern continent.

Because the gods of the demon wolf clan fell, the powerful god who claimed to be the Creator and the humans he favored dominated the world, and the surviving demon wolves became hated by everyone. They did not dare to expose themselves, so they could only carefully collect believers and establish the "Kingdom of Night". His sister gradually acquired a body close to that of a human under the change of faith of human believers, and he also used the City of the Dead, which coexists with the Kingdom of the Living, to make the dead believers become secret puppets, completed the promotion ceremony, and absorbed and accommodated the "secret servant" characteristics left by his father.

During this period, the wolf siblings both gained a little bit of so-called humanity due to the influence of their believers and got rid of the madness of being born mythical creatures. Only then did they realize why a group of ancient gods represented by their father Fregra were hated by other tribes, and they began to cherish their current lives more and more.

After the catastrophe, He transformed into a human form, took the surname "Antigonus", left the Hornachis Mountains where the "Kingdom of Night" was located, returned to the real world, and began to contact the human kingdom that had formed an empire and had the help of the true God.

What happened to me after that...

Antigonus' mind was a little confused, and he instinctively turned his gaze away from the translucent mask. He felt in his heart that the fragmentation of his memory and cognition was related to it.

That’s right, that’s the uniqueness of the “Fool” path… I worked with the human named Alistair Tudor, and with the help of the descendants of the god who called himself the Creator, I completed the ritual to contain it and became a “half-fool”…

Then... under the influence of the will and spiritual imprint left in the characteristics and uniqueness of Sequence 1, it gradually lost control, and finally lost itself after the "anchor" was damaged...

Thinking of this, he suddenly sat up straight from the stone chair and looked around.

That was the residence He obtained after accumulating "wishes" and making a wish, a castle built on the top of the highest mountain in the "Kingdom of Night". The palace that was once magnificent and had countless puppets shuttled through was now in ruins, with walls collapsed, floors cracked, and puppets that He could name lying on the ground in all directions, some even in pieces, as if torn apart by an explosion.

That was the battle that happened just now... Was my awakening due to that battle? What era is it now? Where is my sister?
Countless questions emerged in Antigonus' mind, and he instinctively did a divination, but found that his connection with the spiritual world had become extremely weak, as if there was a thick barrier between them, and his previous ability to move his fingers as easily as his arms had also weakened, and even his spirituality and the accumulated "power of wishes" were almost exhausted.

He then noticed that along with the "uniqueness" of the mask, the characteristics of the "Mysterious Attendant" also left his body.

He is now just a "miracle worker".

When Antigonus realized this, he felt relieved. He still had the last bit of memory before he went completely crazy in his mind. The "residents" in his secret puppet kingdom collapsed into a group of worms because of the madness transmitted by his body. His sister wanted to help suppress the madness but had her spiritual thread taken away. The entire "Kingdom of Night" fell into despair because of his pollution...

Could it be that my sister has already...

Thinking of this, he glanced around again, and suddenly found a slender figure wearing a hood and classical robe appeared in the corner of the previously empty hall.

The familiar silhouette made Antigonus' heart beat faster. He asked hesitantly:
"Sister?" The hooded woman took a few steps forward, and her face emerged from the darkness. Her expression was beautiful but a little dull. It was the face that Antigonus was familiar with.

But the first words the other party said almost made His heart stop:
"I am Amanesis, and I have your sister in my hands."

"Do you have any idea about building your own secret doll town?"

Above the gray fog that represented the living room environment of No. 2 Daffodil Street, Angel lazily half-lying on the single sofa asked.

"The time is too short, and I haven't thought deeply about it yet. Besides, I have just started to digest my 'Miracle Master' potion... Of course, I will start writing the operating rules of the Secret Doll Town and the biographies of some important figures from now on, so that I can start directly when the time comes..."

Klein sat on the other side of the coffee table and answered softly. His expression was calm, but there was some joy in his eyes.

This was his first chance to surpass Angel and reach the next sequence first. Of course, he knew that Angel now possessed the "Conqueror" attribute and the promotion ceremony was substantially completed in this war. He had a chance to quickly advance to Sequence 1 and surpass him again.

But I don’t want this to happen. Well, whether she surpasses me or not is not the point. The point is that the Conqueror will make her… Klein shuddered and sat up straight subconsciously. He asked as if to change the subject:

"You just said that you saw many rules about the Man in the Mirror in the 'Brass Book of Trunsoest'?"

Angel was indeed attracted by this topic and nodded:
"The first half of the brass book records the underlying rules that keep the world running, but it shows different content each time, and it can't cover everything. It's just the tip of the iceberg... I read it many times afterwards but couldn't find any more information about the 'Man in the Mirror', so I only have the three rules I saw before Beltane sealed it."

Klein nodded slightly. He had also tried to borrow the book on the uniqueness of the Judge and found that the rules he had seen were all biased towards the Fool's Path. Moreover, reading it for a long time would cause spiritual instability and a decline in rationality due to the contamination of the source essence, eliminating the possibility of relying on "exhaustive enumeration" to check all the underlying rules.

Seeing that he understood this, Angel calmed down and continued:
“The three rules are:
"1. Because of the pollution of the City of Disaster, the person in the mirror is not connected to the spirit and memory of the original body. They are regarded as two different independent individuals;

"2. This mirror person can also be promoted by taking magic potions, but the success rate is only 50% of the original body;

"3. If one of the person in the mirror and the real body successfully ascends, the other will also synchronize to the corresponding state. The real body can block this transmission, but the person in the mirror cannot."

"It sounds like the settings of some games... You should understand what I mean," Klein said, stroking his chin. Seeing Angel nod in response, he continued, "For example, when sanity drops to 20%, there will be signs of loss of control. The basic success rate of ancient scholars summoning historical images is 10%... These numerical rules remind me of the dice of the uniqueness of the 'monster' path. If it loses control, it will digitize the surrounding environment and control everything by probability. This is probably the cold side of the seemingly chaotic and uncoordinated appearance of the extraordinary world."

Listening to Klein's story, Angel thought of the "man in the mirror" Syrio Soran whom he met when he went to Trier at Sequence 4.

He claimed that he tricked his original body into the mirror world at Sequence 5, killed him and replaced him, and then successfully promoted to the "Iron Knight", completely making this identity his own.

Could it be that the purpose of the person in the mirror killing the original body is not only to avenge the different fates of the two, but also to prevent future troubles and prevent the original body from killing the person in the mirror by taking magic potions at random and losing control?
Then, she thought of another question that was closely related to herself:
If the special person in the mirror can also take potions to advance, then can I let her take the "Conqueror" potion and become Sequence 1 of the Red Priest Path?
