Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1190 You Can Also Join
As soon as she stepped onto the solid floor, Elaine slid out of Angel's arms and moved away from her while tidying up her clothes. But she stopped and approached him hesitantly because of the charm that Angel deliberately exuded.

"Here we are."

Angel pretended to be indifferent, but he was actually smiling brightly in his heart. The low mood he had felt after a short separation from Klein also improved.

Only then did Elaine notice that she was not in the bustling streets of Trier, but in the hall of a classical castle, where expensive crystal chandeliers hung and thick dark red patterned carpets were laid. A spiral staircase leading to the high corridor on the second floor was inlaid with gold foil, shining brightly under the lights.

Is this... the "Red Swan Castle" of the family in Trier? Elaine immediately recognized where this hall belonged to, and her expression changed a little.

When she first became an Extraordinary, she was told that it would be best to stay away from this ancient castle, lest she become increasingly violent and cruel due to the blood curse, eventually going mad and disappearing deep into the underground maze one night.

Except for some members of the main family who were eager to restore the glory of the Sauron family, all other Saurons left the family castle, but this could only reduce the probability of "madness" and could not completely eliminate the curse in the blood. From time to time, Elaine would hear about the disappearance of family branch members living in other places.

This instantly replaced Elaine's original hesitation about whether to stay away from Angel who was touching her with his hands, with panic. She frowned and looked at the paintings and ornaments around her, and whispered:
"Ms. Angelica, let's leave here first. This place is actually..."

"Red Swan Castle, I know," Angel nodded and said in a relaxed tone, "You don't have to worry about the blood curse of the Soran family. It has been completely resolved."

The problem that has troubled the family for hundreds of years... no, perhaps more than two hundred years, the blood curse that has caused countless Saurons to get lost in the depths of the underground palace and never return, has been solved?

The expression in Elaine's green eyes was not shock, but confusion.

This curse caused the entire family to gradually decline, lose the throne and noble status, and countless members who had the opportunity to enter the high sequence died tragically. This is a problem that this angel family has tried their best to solve, and generations of members have tried to solve it but have no clue.

Now not only has the curse been completely resolved, but judging from Miss Angelica's tone, it seems that it was He who resolved it?
Satisfied with Elaine's dull expression, Angel made a gesture and walked to the reception room next to the hall, where he found a single sofa in the elegantly decorated salon and sat down. Elaine followed closely and sat opposite her carefully, looking around from time to time, as if she was still worried about the fatal blood curse.

Servants in red and gold-trimmed uniforms walked by, and due to the interference of the mirror magic, they ignored the two uninvited guests.

After sitting in a comfortable position, Angel said:

"The curse in your family's bloodline began with the Count of Champagne who disappeared more than two hundred years ago..."

She picked out the key points of the legend she had heard from Glade Soren and told Elaine briefly, including how she entered the depths of the underground palace and killed the crazy Vermonda Soren in Trier in the Fourth Epoch, ending his two hundred years of roaring that drove the descendants of the family in Red Swan Castle crazy.

"So, not only did you kill a Sequence 1 'Conqueror' that day and obtain his Beyonder characteristics, but you also helped my, no, the ancestor of the Soran family regain the power of an angel?"

After listening to Angel's calm narration, Elaine's heart was like a storm.

The blood curse that had lasted for two hundred years in his family was actually caused by the Fomonda who once contained the characteristics of Sequence 1. Generation after generation of family members sacrificed themselves just to preserve this extraordinary characteristic, but this "conqueror" was easily killed by the witch angel in front of him...

Then, the ancestor who was said to have established the Sauron family in the Fourth Epoch and eventually perished in the conspiracy of the "Blood Emperor" is actually still alive and has become an angel again?
Feeling that Miss Angelica's figure in front of her had become taller and more majestic, Elaine quietly lowered her head and asked:

"Is that ancestor, His Highness Glade Soran, planning to regain control of the family?"

She knew that although the Sauron family currently possessed a "0" level seal, there were no angels. There were only three or four saints, and it was impossible for them to resist an angel who had lived for more than two thousand years.

And why resist?

Isn't it natural for that lord to return to his loyal family?

The Soran family hid the abnormality of the Red Swan Castle and risked their lives to study and seal it. Wasn't it just to restore the glory of the family? Now that Vermonda is gone, it's the same with Glade Soran replacing him...

Thinking of this, she raised her head and looked at Angel expectantly.

The latter smiled slightly and replied:
"He has already been integrating the power of the Sauron family branches. Even your father has become His informant... I think He is indeed preparing to regain control of his family and restore its former status."

"But if this is the case, why is the Red Swan Castle, which is the most important to the family, not guarded at all, as if it has been abandoned..."

Elaine murmured, and looked around again, and found that the busy servants had not yet noticed her presence, and there was no defensive force that a Beyonder family should have. Suddenly, all the servants in the reception room stopped, turned to face the two, and locked their eyes on Elaine.

This strange atmosphere of change from movement to stillness made Elaine's hair stand on end. Just as she was about to jump up from the sofa, a hoarse voice with a hint of teasing came from behind her:
"Of course it's to let you in and see what you want to do."

Elaine turned around suddenly and found that the flame of the brass kerosene lamp fixed on the wall behind her was attracted by some force, left the lampshade and fell on the carpet, but did not ignite the wool, but quickly expanded into a human figure nearly two meters tall.

The flames dissipated, and Glade Soren, who was wearing a dark suit, calfskin shoes, a tie, and neatly combed red hair, appeared with a smile on his face. He first glanced at Elaine, then bowed slightly to Angel, and said in a tone that did not contain any respect:
"Welcome to Red Swan Castle, Her Majesty the Golden Queen."

His appearance like that of a businessman made Angel look dull. He thought that what he saw was not an angel who had lived for thousands of years, but the chief legal secretary of the Soran family.

"Why are you dressed like this?"

She asked bluntly.

Glade adjusted his tie to center it again before answering:
"I am re-adapting to this era. The high-ranking officials on the boulevard, and even the current leaders of this country, all dress like this."

At least we don’t have to worry about his humanity in the short term… Angel muttered to himself, pointing at Elaine and said:
"This is Elaine Soren, the daughter of Jacob Soren. She was originally a 'reaper', but for some reason she has jumped to the witch path and became the 'despair' witch."

Glade's sharp eyes swept over Elaine, and after a moment he nodded and said:

"I became a saint in less than five years. Although it is easier to advance now than it was in my time with the help of external forces, it is still pretty good."

Being easier to advance than in the Fourth Epoch means that the will left by the “Prime Creator” in the Beyonder characteristics has weakened, and the probability of losing control during advancement is smaller?
Angel made some guesses and said:
"I hope your family can continue to provide her with help, including potion materials, personnel, and funds. Besides you, the Soran family doesn't have many high-sequence Beyonders worth investing in anyway."

She knew that it was impossible for Glade Soren to manage the entire family in the open, and he would definitely need support and agency. Elaine was young, intelligent, and had proven her talent, so she was a good choice.

Most importantly, this is equivalent to pulling the Soran family onto her chariot and becoming part of the "Golden Queen" forces.

"But didn't she join the Witch Church and become your follower?"

Glade said with a sneer, and waved his hand, asking the servants who were looking over here to walk out of the reception room in unison, like puppets.

"It's not a big deal, you can join in too."

Angel's words caused Him to fall into a brief silence, as if He was making some kind of weighing in His mind.

Finally, Glade's serious expression relaxed, and he nodded slightly and said:
"I will arrange for her to return to the family first, and the rest will depend on her performance."

Is this considered surrender? You hunters are really... Even if the situation is not favorable to you, you still subconsciously make a few sarcastic remarks and symbolically resist... Angel muttered a few words.

Although she and Glade are both angels now, their combat effectiveness is completely on a different level. Although the latter's "Weather Warlock" can restrain the witch's stand, mirror world and other abilities to a certain extent, Angel possesses multiple level 0 seals and the "Salinger Blood Flag" that can suppress the entire Red Priest Path, which in turn suppresses Glade.

If a real fight breaks out, He probably won't be able to escape... Angel commented sharply in his mind, nodded with satisfaction, and stood up from the single sofa.

Seeing that she was about to enter the mirror world, Glade asked again:
"Are you going to visit the underground Trier?"

How did He know? Angel did not hide it and answered:
"Go find the 'disaster' witch who fell in the Fourth Epoch."

Glade chuckled and warned:
"Recently, those new cultists that have emerged, such as the Society of the Bliss, the Tree Worship, and the First Philosophy, are trying their best to drill underground. The Beyonders of Steam and Fiery Sun can't catch them."

The Blissful Society? The women-loving-women group? I haven't heard of the other two names. With so many new cults, the infiltration of the Outer Gods is getting faster and faster... Angel frowned and decided to find the official Beyonder's angel to find out the situation before entering the underground area.

The patron saint of Trier this month is Saint Vieve of the Eternal Sun.
