Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1251 The Real "Witch" Card
"It seems that you have someone to suspect?"

Seeing Angel lost in thought, with a charming yet majestic expression, Queen Roselle, who was like a true queen, smiled slightly and said.

Then, His blue eyes gradually lit up. It was unclear whether He was fortune-telling, predicting, or searching for knowledge in His memory. The two special blasphemous cards in His hand, "Red Priest" and "Witch", were quickly opened, and pages of illusory books containing potion knowledge were turned one by one, finally stopping at Sequence 0.

At this time, Angel noticed that after Queen Roselle took out another "Witch" card from her chest, her seductive aura like that of a high-ranking witch disappeared.

Did He take the Blasphemy Card into His body before? This can enhance His personality and the abilities related to the "Man in the Mirror"... Angel thought about it and felt that the empress in front of him was the "Emperor of Knowledge" rather than the "Witch".

This also made her curious about where the power of the "Man in the Mirror" came from. After all, his original body, the male Roselle Gustav, had been promoted to the "Black Emperor" and died with him. The "Knowledge Emperor" characteristic had long been eliminated and was most likely obtained by the Steam Church. So how did the empress in front of her maintain the strength of Sequence 1?
He is not from the "City of Disaster" and cannot obtain the power of the mirror world...

As she stared at Empress Roselle in a daze, she also finished analyzing the "blasphemous card" in her hand and lowered her head and said:

"Your guess is probably wrong. The Hidden Sage is unlikely to make such an arrangement. He usually tends to contaminate the Beyonders of the same path, that is, those who have chosen the Mysterious Peeper potion, and force a large amount of knowledge into them, allowing knowledge to spread and cause invisible contamination... At most, it will involve the adjacent Universal Path. If He makes new cards, He should also give priority to the Hermit and the Perfect.

"Besides, I didn't sense any contamination from the cards... I'm confident in this. I can smell the stench of the 'Hidden Sage' no matter how far away I am."

When she said the second half of the sentence, the feminine Roselle's tone turned cold.

Angel recalled the diary of this time traveler, which recorded how he pondered and tried to help Bernadette, who was on the path of the "Secret Peeper", to avoid being contaminated by the animated evil god. He guessed that the other party also had many dissatisfactions with the "Hidden Sage".

In this case, it is unlikely that He helped conceal the danger in the Blasphemy card.

Moreover, it is unlikely that the Hidden Sage would use "Angel" as the opening spell for these two cards. Roselle used "Bernadette" because that is the name of his daughter. What is the relationship between the maker of the cards and me...

Roselle and the man in his mirror denied that they were the owners of the two cards. The suspicion of the hidden sage was also ruled out, leaving Angel's mind a little confused.

Seeing the confusion on her face, Queen Roselle shook her head and threw the "Witch" and "Red Priest" cards handed to her by Angel, as well as another "Witch" card that still had a bit of His body temperature. The moment Angel caught it, His figure in a black dress floated upwards, and the sparkling light of the gem on the crown quickly disappeared in the mist.

"Please help me take good care of Bernadette and Anne... One day, I will come to the real world to accompany them."

The crisp yet resolute voice turned into tangible information, penetrating the fog of war and entering Angel's mind.

The latter did not answer, but turned over the "Witch" card in her hand, watching Roselle, who was dressed differently, changed from a man to a woman, and became more and more beautiful and charming, floating in front of her one by one, and the corresponding potion description, formula and ritual also fell into her eyes:
“Sequence 4: Despair (Witch).

"formula:……

“…Ritual: Let more than 30,000 people be involved in a severe plague. The more people die, the more desperate and painful they are, the better the effect of the ritual will be.”

"Sequence 3: Immortality (Witch).

“Ritual: Find yourself in the mirror, enslave him or make him obsessed with yourself, or reconcile with him.”

"Sequence 2: Disaster (Witch).

“Ritual: Participate in creating a disaster that affects the entire continent and gain promotion during the disaster.”

"Sequence 1: Doomsday (Witch).

"At the recognized end of an era or the beginning of the next era, during the signs and process of the end of the world, or by participating in the fall of a god, any of the three options are valid."

The rituals of Sequence 4, Sequence 3, and Sequence 2 are all different from my "Witch" card... Angel felt a little cold. She waited for the illusory book that appeared above the card to turn to the last page. The empress originally drawn on the cover, who was different from the smiling Emperor Roselle in disguise, was leaning on the throne, radiant with charm and domineering. Several words formed by the glow of the stars gradually emerged:

"Sequence 0: Witch (Original Witch, Chaos Witch)
"Ritual: Go deep underground to find the 'Chaos Sea', endure a certain degree of pollution from it while maintaining one's identity, without falling or becoming alienated."

Looking at the apotheosis ceremony which was exactly the same as what was recorded on the first "blasphemous slate", and indirectly confirmed the correctness of the previous sequence of rituals, the expression on Angel's face gradually returned to normal.

----

Another month had passed since Klein was promoted to "Servant of Mysteries" and Angel took actual control of the "Blood Flag of Salinger".

The world war that had been spread to the nearby suburbs, and described by the Tussock Newspaper as "being held to the head by the Feysac people with guns", had completely ended. Feysac and Intis signed the armistice and compensated a large amount of food and supplies, alleviating the food shortage crisis in Loen caused by the large amount of arable land being abandoned during the harvest season.

The towering plants that had appeared in Backlund before the Three Kingdoms' coalition forces fled were also cleared away, and the entire city regained its vitality. The sufficient supply of raw materials allowed the factories that had been shut down to start operating again, getting rid of the brief haze and thriving.

But beneath this peaceful scene lies a huge crisis that only a few people know about:

end.

Angel knew that after the war of gods that was initiated by the God of War and deliberately shown weakness by the Goddess of Night, it would be difficult for another world-wide war to occur. After all, most of the thrones that could be occupied had already been occupied. The most important thing for the Earth was to select suitable "Old Ones" candidates and wait for the seal to be lifted, so that they could come into contact with the source essence and be promoted to great beings above the sequence.

Of course, all this depends on Angel entering the sealed Western Continent through the secret ceremony of the "Corpse Oil Candle" to serve as a bridge between the gods and practitioners on both sides. However, this candle, whose production method is still unclear, has only one last chance to be used. Therefore, before a new "candidate" appears, she does not plan to contact the Western Continent again and waste precious times.

So far, there are only two gods who can obtain the uniqueness of all adjacent paths and a sequence 1 characteristic: the goddess of night of the three paths of "darkness", "death" and "god of war", and the mother goddess of the earth of the paths of "mother" and "moon". However, the source substance corresponding to the latter is the "mother nest". Among the Taoists in the Western Continent, the "holy maiden" of the Luojiao era has never appeared at all, which is most likely related to the activation of the "mother nest".

Therefore, the Earth Mother Goddess, who is only short of the source power to become the old one, is not only unable to use Angel's connection with the Western Continent to make further progress, but she even has to guard against the foreign gods outside the barrier who are gradually infiltrating their power and influence into the earth, especially the original owner of the mother nest, the "Fallen Mother Goddess".

According to Emlyn, the "Moon" of the Tarot Club, the oracles received by the "God-favored Ones" in the Church of Mother Earth have been much more frequent in the past few months than before, but according to the identification of the "God-favored Ones", most of them are false.

This almost directly shows that the condition of the "Mother Goddess of Earth" has gradually begun to deteriorate, and the control over the two paths of "Mother" and "Moon" has been affected by foreign gods.

In this situation, let alone being promoted to the "Old Ones", even maintaining the current status of a true god and not being contaminated by foreign gods would be difficult.

In addition to these two goddesses, other gods are more or less facing "a little bit" of difficulties. The five paths of the "Sea of ​​Chaos" each belong to a god, and the winner has not yet been determined; the "Black Emperor" of the two paths of the "Land of Disorder" has been polluted, and it is impossible for the "Judge" to give birth to a true god in the short term; the uniqueness of the "Bound One" in the "Shadow World" is in the hands of the believers of the Outer Gods, and although the "Devil" has a true god on the earth side, it is not in good condition; the destiny path of the "Key of Light" is waiting for an opportunity to become a god...

On the whole, apart from the Goddess of Night, the one who has the greatest hope of being promoted to the "Old Days" in the short term is actually the "God of Machinery and Steam". As long as the "Hidden Sage" is found and His uniqueness is obtained, the "Heavenly Master" of the Western Continent will be able to provide the power of the "Wild Knowledge".

In such a situation of shortage of troops and generals, the "Witch" path sequence 0 where Angel is located is actually occupied by an unsociable evil god, and there is no real god in the adjacent paths. As long as he gets help from other gods and kills the "original witch" Chick, Angel, who is favored by the source, has a great probability of becoming a "destructive disaster" and serving as the main force to fight against the outer gods.

This is why she dared to challenge the true God as a Sequence 2:
"Humph, if you don't help me now, you won't have a chance in the future."

In the newly built church near the Sodrak Palace in the western part of Backlund, Angel put his hands on his waist and raised his head to snort softly, then he entered the mirror world. At Klein's summons, his spirit left his body and entered the gray fog.

The place where she appeared was not the majestic palace and bronze table where the tarot club was held every week, but a living room with a warm fireplace, a comfortable single sofa and fragrant hand-brewed coffee.

Klein, dressed in casual clothes and looking exactly like he did in the Tingen period, except for his height, was sitting by the fire waiting for her.

On the coffee table nearby and on the carpet dimly illuminated by the firelight, there were several "Cards of Blasphemy", several powerful seals owned by the two, as well as "0-05" which sealed a part of the "Son of Chaos", and the wishing lamp.
