Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1280 The Mystery of Faith
Seeing Elaine raising her head like a rooster and looking at them, "White Saint" Katarina was the first to laugh. Her expression was innocent with a little charm. Even Elaine, who was also an "immortal" witch, was stunned.

Only then did she realize that she had just been promoted to Sequence 3, while the other party had been in this sequence for thousands of years. Even if he did not take the initiative to act, he could naturally digest the potion and his control over supernatural powers was much higher than hers.

——From Angelica, Elaine already knew that it takes a long time to play the role of "eternal age", and Katarina is a high-ranking witch in the Fourth Age!

In addition to her, the black cat Wensa, whose black fur was reflective and whose eyes were as bright as sapphires, also gave Elaine a feeling of extreme danger, which made Elaine believe that the other party was also a high-level "witch", most likely of the same Sequence 3.

She had never felt this way when she was a hunter, or even when she was the Witch of Despair. Apparently, creatures from the spiritual world were naturally susceptible to a certain degree of interference with spiritual warnings.

Thoughts flashed through Elaine's mind. She finally took a deep breath, smiled what she thought was a kind smile, looked at Tracy and said,

"I thought I gave you a chance, but you left quietly."

After the battle with the witch sect ended, the angels who came to help left one after another. Anne and Gerdruf had no time to take care of the hostage held in the church. In addition, Elaine could not contact Miss Angelica, so she deliberately relaxed her vigilance, hoping that Tracy would have a chance to leave. However, she did not expect that she not only came back by herself, but also brought her mother Katarina and the "immortal" witch cat who was originally a messenger.

Looking at these three pairs of blue eyes, if Elaine didn't understand the relationship between them, all the "conspirator" potion would be expelled from her body.

Before Tracy could answer, Catalina beside her laughed and said softly:

"As early as when you escaped from Tracy's 'Black Death' and were rescued by Angelica Thatch, I began to provide her with help, and Wensa became her messenger, secretly expressing our support.

"Now, the Witch Cult may become history, but a new god always needs enough believers to maintain its rule and spread its faith, and we have already embarked on this ship.

"The fact that we can freely enter and exit the mirror world in this city is the best proof of this."

"So, you betrayed the 'Original Witch' a long time ago?"

Elaine asked curiously and glanced at Tracy, finding that she was also surprised, obviously not knowing that her mother had changed sides so early.

"It's not betrayal, but I never really believed in it." This time it was the black cat Wensa at her feet who answered Elaine. "After the 'Original Witch' became a god, the ancient witch family changed their previous behavior and became more extreme and radical. Some witches who didn't want to do so secretly maintained their original selves and believed in another 'Chaos Witch' deep in the mirror world."

The other one… Elaine subconsciously thought of the huge black shadow when she was promoted to “Immortal”, frowned and asked:

"Isn't that the split self of the original witch Chike? Similar to the 'Man in the Mirror'?"

Katerina shook her head.

"No, He is the real 'Original', Chike just stole His authority... Of course, whether in the mirror world or in reality, the 'Original Witch' Chike is more powerful than the other one. The few in the sect can only lie low and look for opportunities in secret... Fortunately, the longevity of the Witch Path makes this not difficult. We even have a 'Disaster' Witch, and we have also received help from some powerful people in the mirror."

“Purple Witch” Eugenia… Elaine nodded slightly, and then asked:
"What about Miss Angelica's messenger? How can a cat become a high-ranking witch?"

She was not questioning the fact that animals could take potions to advance through the Sequence. After all, there had been many cases at sea where pets had accidentally ingested extraordinary properties or taken potions, but luckily had not lost control or died, and had successfully become extraordinary beings. Angelica had also joked that many extraordinary beings could not digest potions as quickly as a dog, which meant that "She" had also seen controlled extraordinary creatures.

But this is a Sequence 3 cat... Elaine subconsciously lowered her head and met the vertical pupils in the pair of gem-like, clear eyes. Katarina's soft and charming voice came to her ears:
"She once accompanied a certain disaster witch. With her help, she took the corresponding potions one by one, gained consciousness, followed the method of acting, and gradually advanced to 'immortality'. Unfortunately, she died in the chaos of the Four Emperors' War. Because of the arrangements she made before her death, she survived in the form of a spirit creature.

"With the help of the Man in the Mirror, she successfully recovered a portion of her Sequence 3 characteristics. After being re-contained, she became the equivalent of a slightly weaker 'Immortal' witch. However, she is unable to completely leave the spirit world and is still subject to various restrictions imposed by spirit world creatures."

It was similar to the four-headed messenger lady... Was it male or female when it took the assassin's potion? How did it get through the "joy" stage? What was the person in its mirror, no, the cat in its mirror like? Elaine's eyes flashed, and her curiosity was hard to contain.

In front of the three witch saints, she didn't ask these strange questions out loud, but pondered:
"I thought blue eyes were a trait of your family, and Ms. Winza was a human who was cursed to become a black cat."

Katerina laughed again and replied:
"Black hair and blue eyes are indeed the bloodline of the witch family, but Wenza is just a selected cat with similar traits. And the closer you are to the 'original', the more you will tend to have these characteristics, such as your hair."

As she spoke, she pointed to the part of Elaine's red hair that was draped over her chest, the end of which had turned black as if it had been burnt.

Even if you cut off the black part, it will quickly turn into this color. It turns out that it is the influence of the top of the path... Elaine muttered, and suddenly realized something:
"But Miss Angelica has never changed like this."

"That was the only special case. Perhaps it was related to the power that He possessed that was higher than that of the gods..." Catalina answered vaguely, "Fortunately, now that the 'Original Witch' has fallen, the next witch's true god should be Him. With the contributions you have made, it won't be a problem for you to become an angel."

She looked Elaine up and down admiringly, and sighed after a moment:

"Unfortunately, even if you wait a long time to digest the 'immortality' potion and play the role of an eternally young and immortal witch, due to the problem of the ritual, I am afraid you can only jump to the adjacent path and become a 'weather wizard'."

Weather wizard? Doesn't that mean... Elaine was stunned and looked at Tracy, and found that the latter's expression had also changed a little. It was obvious that she knew what this meant.

Of course, as far as Elaine was concerned, gender was not the first consideration for the opportunity to become an angel, and Angelica had promised her that as long as she took the risk of being promoted to "Immortal" and attracted the attention of the black shadow, she would be free to choose whether to be an angel from the witch or hunter path.

It's not impossible to be a hunter... She felt her face getting hot, and asked to change the subject:
"What about the 'Chaos Witch' you believe in? Did she also die in the battle two days ago?"

Hearing this question, the smile on Katerina's face disappeared and she became serious:
“He did not really fall, but he no longer responded to the believers’ prayers, as if he was in a strange state... Perhaps, he really merged with Angelica Sage and became the kind of being that possessed the power he longed for...

“In addition, after the destruction and rebirth of the mirror world, those special mirror people in Trier in the Fourth Epoch also survived, and their leader is still active.

"Perhaps He knows some key information..."

----

As the Dream City entered dusk again, Klein left the maze-like bushes of Tingen University and came to the church closest to the university and the largest church in the city.

To his surprise, the church was not named after the patron angel or saint, but was simply called "Church of Light".

This symbolizes the irreplaceable faith in Angel's heart from his previous life, and that faith is directed directly to the so-called "Goddess of Light" rather than a certain saint... After pretending to interpret it in his mind, Klein looked up at the cross on top of the tallest tower in front of the church, admiring the white exterior walls, the buttresses on both sides that stretched out like ribs, and the stained glass windows.

Apart from the color, it is similar in style to the Saint Samuel Church of the Church of Night... Is it a product of the fusion of memories in one's heart, or is it that the style of all contemporary churches originated from the ancient sun god Grisha, who in turn copied the church design of the old era?
Under the pressure of the high walls, Klein straightened his clothes before slowly walking into the double doors that were only slightly opened. He walked through the quiet prayer hall in the slightly pungent aroma of candles and came to the golden cross symbolizing the Goddess of Light and the huge altar below.

Grisha Adam, wearing a white robe and with blond hair and a golden beard, was sorting a thick book in front of the altar. When he saw Klein coming, he closed the thick cowhide cover with gold edges and looked at him with a smile.

"Praise the goddess, you are on time."

He crossed himself and spoke devoutly.

It was a right cross, not the inverted cross that the Aurora Society liked to use. This guy had completely integrated into his role and started praising the goddess. Moreover, it was the "light" that was the opposite of the "night"... No, Adam might be able to hear my voice, even though His "audience" ability had returned to Sequence 8... Klein had just muttered a few words in his mind when he remembered that the strongest audience was standing in front of him. He forced out a smile and said:

“Is there anything that can’t be discussed online?” He thought it was safer to communicate with this “everything he said would be known” person on the Caoqing software that foreigners liked to use, and he had a kind of resistance to meeting him in person at the church.

Of course, if it concerns Angel, he is willing to take any risk.

As if he had heard what Klein was thinking, Adam smiled again, put down the thick holy book, pointed to the back of the prayer hall and said:

"This matter is related to Angel Granger. I will take you to the underground area."

As He spoke, He left behind the believers who were still praying in the hall and walked to the back of the altar. Klein quickly followed, entered the hidden door at the back of the prayer hall, and walked down the spiral staircase that looked familiar to him.

On the way, the two met several priests who were also wearing white robes, but they walked straight past them as if they didn't see them. Klein was impressed that even with only the power of Sequence 8 left, the audience was still magical.

Arriving at the underground area, they walked through a long but brightly lit corridor and entered a spacious space directly below the large prayer hall. The walls and ceiling were decorated with white marble. There were also rows of benches and a huge altar. However, behind the altar, where the cross was originally placed, there was a statue more than three meters tall, as translucent as jade.

That is... As soon as Klein's eyes rested on the statue, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. The plump curve of the chest, the slender but elegant waist, the long arms holding an invisible object, the delicate bare feet extending under the skirt... After looking carefully for a moment, he suddenly realized that this was actually Angel Granger's body.

It looks a bit like the Angelica statue in the "City of Dreams", but the posture and image are somewhat different. Angelica is both charming and gentle, but this Angel has a special kind of holiness... Klein looked away from the lifelike statue and frowned at Adam, saying:

"Is this what you wanted me to see?"

Adam shook his head and said:
“This is just a hook.

"Do you remember believing in the deity 'Goddess of Light'?"

Klein thought for a moment and shook his head. As a good young man in the Foodie Empire, apart from searching for several Eastern beliefs on the Internet when he was looking for a luck-changing ritual, his knowledge of Western religions was limited to the one that used the cross.

"I remember their existence, but it was just a small sect popular in Europe," Adam said in a soft voice, "I'm afraid it was only after the time we 'traveled' that the mysterious resurrection, the extraordinary appearance, and the church with extraordinary power truly became the mainstream and guided mankind to resist the invasion of the Chaos Clan."

This was consistent with the trend of the past few decades in Angel's memory. However, according to her, before the "demon invasion," the Church of Light already possessed certain extraordinary powers, such as various magical bullets, training methods for ordinary people, and special equipment... Klein pondered, waiting for Adam's further explanation.

The latter did not keep the secret, but continued:

"I suspect that all this may be the influence of the 'Original God', because the several special bullets in Angel's memory have clear corresponding potion pathways.

"'Gathering Storms' corresponds to the Storm Path, 'Phantom Phosphorus Eruption' is the specialty of the Sun Path, 'Shattering Light Ray' originated from the White Tower, and the other two bullets that she didn't have the chance to make are also inextricably linked to 'The Hanged Man' and 'Dreamer'."

Storm, Sun, White Tower, Hanged Man, and Visionary, aren't they the five paths to "omniscience and omnipotence"? And the "City of Disaster" was once accommodated by that God... Klein's scalp was numb. Although he had heard Angel's analysis a long time ago and had some doubts about the origin of her "time travel", but when Adam, the successor of the "Chaos Sea", pointed it out clearly, he still felt a sense of surprise that everything was arranged.

He pursed his lips and asked:

"You mean, the statue of Angel that appeared in the basement of the church of the 'Goddess of Light' in the Dream City symbolizes that the 'God' may take this opportunity to revive?"

"Not necessarily," Adam shook his head. "As far as I know, the original God arranged more than one method of resurrection, and the 'City of Disaster' and the corresponding two paths are the worst options because of the original creator in the mirror... unless He has a way to remove the mark left by the creator."

"From this perspective, the current state of Dream City may really be caused by His intervention. If the problem of the original creator can be solved, it can be a means of resurrection. If not, it can also bury the original will, so that He, who only has the spiritual imprint left, has no chance of revival."

Klein glanced at Angel's statue and continued to ask:

"Hasn't God resurrected yet? How can He interfere in the affairs of Dream City?"

Fabuti, Angel, and even Adam in front of him showed no signs of "God reviving in my body"!

"His arrangements can transcend time. Everything that is happening now may have been within His expectations. In addition... in addition to the ones you thought of, there is another method of resurrection that we cannot monitor."

Adam still had a smile on his face, but his voice became serious.

“After Angel told me about the future she had experienced, I tried to go to Trier and conduct some investigations.

Trier... The holy emblems of two gods who shared the faith of the people of the Republic of Intis immediately appeared in Klein's mind.

The God of Steam should be busy looking for the Hidden Sage now, but the other god seems to have not made any moves since the war ended... Moreover, when fighting with the residual soul of the "Dark Angel" Sasriel, He once said that the initiator of the Feast of Betrayal was the "Pure White Angel" Osircus at that time... He asked with enlightenment:

"Could it be the 'Eternal Blazing Sun'?"

Adam nodded and said:
"The consciousness of the original God may have begun to affect Him before He became a god, and now... my two angel kings, Leodro and Herabergen, have both expressed their opinions, but He has remained silent. This already represents a certain tendency."

Perhaps He just doesn't want you to liquidate and take back His characteristics. Herabergen seems to want to survive, and Storm will bow its head before the former Sun God. Only the proud Sun is unwilling to do so... Klein complained in his heart and continued to ask:
"Is there any direct evidence?"

Judging from the situation of the war between gods two days ago, the barrier separating the earth and the starry sky can no longer be supported by the current six gods. If the "Eternal Sun" is missing, doomsday will probably come early.

But there is not even one Old One on Earth.

"This suspicion does not require evidence, and once the 'Black Emperor' stabilizes, it can also serve as a force to support the barrier..." Adam's smile became more obvious, but his words were cold, "In addition, besides us, there are other gods who have entered this dream city."

What? Klein was stunned.

Adam explains:
"In addition to you who came to the Dream City with the help of Night, gods and angels with dream-related abilities or authority also have the opportunity to come in. It is possible that it is Him who made Angel Granger realize his extraordinary power and restore his understanding of Sequence 8."

Authority over dreams... Oh, right, in addition to the Lord of Sleep and Silence, the "audience" path in "Omniscience and Omnipotence" also possesses power over dreams... Klein now understood why Adam suspected that "Pure White" was influenced by God.

But he immediately remembered that the person in front of him was the strongest "audience" and also had the power to enter dreams.

What about the talisman he possessed?

PS: Thanks to the leader of "追忆西安阳" for the reward (づ￣ 3￣)づ~☆

In addition, there is a high probability that tomorrow will also be a two-in-one release, which will be updated in the evening.
