Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 246 It’s time to close the net ( words updated, please vote)

The next day, Li En visited Earl Hall again and asked him about the family contract.

"Back then, after Dorothy was born, several never-before-seen conditions were detected, including [Magic Vessel]. It was because of this condition that the wise men wanted to study Dorothy. Even though they promised not to harm her life and would only conduct living research, I still couldn't accept it. To protect her, my family signed a family slave contract with the Frank family, swearing the Hall family's eternal loyalty to the Frank family."

There was nothing wrong with being loyal to the royal family. For the Hall family at that time, there was no difference between signing a contract and not signing a contract.

But the person who signed the contract still became a sinner of the family, because he destroyed the pride of the Creed family.

This contract later became a shackle that bound the Hall family.

Especially Dorothy.

Li En was very curious why there was no entry mark on Earl Hall's body.

Earl Hall has an older brother. When Dorothy was just born, Earl Hall's brother might still be the head of the family, and he was not yet the head of the Hall family.

Therefore, the mark is most likely on Earl Hall's brother.

In order to verify his guess, Li En asked,

"The contract was signed by the then head of the family, not by you?"

"Yes, I wasn't the head of the family at that time. The head of the family was Ince. I became the head of the family when Dorothy was five years old."

Thinking of this incident, Hall still felt that he owed Ins.

After learning about this, the elders of the Hall family united to put pressure on Ins, forcing him to step down from the position of head of the family.

"Where is Uncle Ince now?"

Lee En asked.

"In Red Maple Territory."

After getting the specific location, Li En stood up and said goodbye to Earl Hall.

"Li En, do you really have a way to cancel the family contract?"

"I don't have any. I can only pray to God and see if the great God Tiger can help solve it."

"It's great that you have this heart."

Earl Hall believed that this was impossible. Once the family contract was signed, it could only be terminated if one of the Frank family or the Hall family was completely extinct, but this was impossible.

He has already started from another aspect, trying to save his daughter.

For example, he sent someone to assassinate Zenobia's fiancé, the King of Devonte in the Northern Continent, so that Zenobia could continue to stay in the royal capital.

Devonte was in internal chaos. The old king was seventy-three years old and his son was fifty years old, but he was still unwilling to give up the throne and had been ruling the people brutally. Earl Hall had no psychological burden in killing him.

Earl Hall had spies in the palace and naturally knew the relationship between Zenobia and Augustus.

Augustus has been completely addicted to Zenobia's tenderness, but the Frank family will never let Zenobia marry Augustus, and the two are destined to be just lovers.

Using Zenobia can only restrain Augulas temporarily, but cannot eliminate Augulas's desire for Dorothy.

So Earl Hall cooperated with the Isaacson family and expressed his willingness to fully support Isaacson in producing a new queen.

And Mona Isaacson is the new queen chosen by the Isaacson family.

So, Taysha Isaacson pretended to want Mona Isaacson to be Li En's student, but in fact it was just to bring Mona Isaacson into the sight of Auguras.

However, Augulas had no interest in the gentle and well-behaved Mona Isaacson. He was now focused on how to get the Blue Dragon Whip.

On the other side, after Li En left, Maya was very sad, even her father Yar looked at her with disappointment.

This forced her to drown her sorrows in alcohol, one glass after another, and she refused to listen even to the advice of Taysha Isaacson and others.

When Yar saw Maya like this, he felt that it was a hopeless situation and left early in anger.

Seeing that Mona and Augulas had little interaction, Queen Mother Taesa Isaacson took Mona away. As long as they met, Augulas would know that Mona was not the kind of woman who would deliberately approach him.

Finally only Augustus, Zenobia and Maya were left.

It was not known whether it was the effect of alcohol or the stimulation from Zenobia, but Maya wanted to know if she really had any feminine charm, so that night, she had an unspeakable relationship with Augustus.

The next day, Augustus felt mentally exhausted, with dark bags under his eyes, but he felt fulfilled.

He suddenly understood the happiness of the men in the Moria family.

But compared with this short-lived happiness, Augustus is more obsessed with the happiness brought by power.

He cast a healing spell on himself to restore his spirit to its best condition before waking up the two people beside him.

After Maya knew about the ridiculous things that happened last night, she didn't dare to look at Augustus and nervously covered herself with the quilt. On the contrary, Zenobia stretched lazily, put her arms around Augustus' neck, and asked for his love in the morning.

Augustus was not stingy either, and Zenobia's extremely satisfied expression was his reward this morning.

In the early morning, the church bells echoed over Yalong City, awakening this royal capital that was taking a short rest.

On the stone road, the dew from the night reflected a faint light, revealing a sense of desolation.

The city walls were high, the gates were tightly shut, and the guards, yawning, began to change shifts. They were dressed in iron armor, holding spears, and surveying their surroundings vigilantly.

Market stalls opened one after another, displaying a wide variety of goods: fresh vegetables and fruits, handmade bread and sausages, farm tools and weapons forged in blacksmith shops, and clothes and robes sewn by tailor shops.

Merchants hawk their wares, calling out to customers. The air is filled with the aromas of roasted meats, spices, and freshly baked bread, making your mouth water.

The houses on both sides of the street are mostly made of stone, and their spires, eaves and carved decorations make them look simple and solemn.

The sound of horse hooves approached from a distance. Knights, wearing armor and holding swords, passed under the arrow towers on the city walls and headed for the parade ground outside the city. The common people gave way, feeling both awed and grateful for these noble knights who protected the safety of the city.

Children chased and played in the streets, occasionally being scolded by hurried adults, while women, carrying baskets, headed to the market to buy food or chatted with neighbors.

In such a peaceful atmosphere, the second meeting of the Witch Tower began.

There are two more participants this time, namely the Barrier Witch Ashe, who was previously replaced by Alexander, and the Disease Witch Dora.

After Nina Owen sent Catherine back to Blue Moon Territory, she gave the invitation stones made by Dorothy to Dora and Ash respectively.

Both of them were attending the meeting for the first time and seemed a little nervous.

However, both of them were shadows joining the Tower Council, and others could not see their expressions.

Of course, they couldn't see other people's expressions.

Because there were still vacancies in the 12 seats of the original witches, Alexander shamelessly participated in the meeting again. This time she represented all the other witches who were unable to attend.

Also attending the meeting were old members such as the Fairy Witch Dorothy, the Ice Witch Sophie, the Puppet Witch Cameron, the Hell Witch Ellie, and the Wisdom Witch Fia.

Dorothy has a pair of deep and mysterious purple eyes, her long eyelashes tremble gently, and there is an imperceptible golden luster between her eyebrows, as if it was a gift from the first ray of sunshine at dawn, which makes her look noble and full of magical colors.

Sophie's face was delicate and pale, like a work of art carved from ice and snow, cold and beautiful yet gentle. Her face remained expressionless, giving the illusion of an icy beauty.

Cameron has a healthy wheat-colored skin, bright sapphire eyes, and exudes a healthy and lively charm.

Ellie's eyes, like the brightest stars in the night sky, were set in a face as pale as the moon, emitting a resolute light. Her thick eyelashes were like small black brushes, gently trembling with her gaze.

Fia's long, golden hair cascaded like a waterfall, each strand seemingly woven with the sun's rays. Her delicate skin, a faint rosy hue, resembled the morning light reflected through a veil, warm and gentle. Her nose was straight, and her lips were full and rosy, their gentle movement seeming to reveal an unfinished secret. Her gold-rimmed glasses, far from diminishing her beauty, actually enhanced her unique, intelligent aura.

I can only say that every meeting in the Witch Tower is a pleasure to watch.

Although he couldn't see Dora, Li En could imagine her red hair and bright red lips. She was a passionate witch.

As the president, he should naturally act as the host and say a few opening remarks first.

"Good morning Dorothy, Sophie, Ellie, Cameron, Alexander, and Fia."

Li En greeted everyone in order.

Dorothy corrected him, "Master President, you have to use code names."

Li En twitched his lips. He didn't expect Dorothy to care so much about formality. He said again,

"Fairy tale, ice and snow, hell, doll, Alexander, wisdom, good morning."

"Good morning, President/Dad."

Several people said in unison.

Except for Alexander, everyone else calls him "Master President".

As if realizing that he was too different, Alexander immediately changed his words and called Li En "Chairman".

Li En looked at Dora and Ashley, "You are new members, please introduce yourselves."

Ash seemed a little nervous. Although she was not a new member in the strict sense, it was indeed her first time participating in such a meeting.

Because it was a remote meeting, she could only see the shadows of the participants and could not see the details of their faces. However, she was able to determine the specific locations of Li En, Dorothy and other companions through their body shapes.

"I...I'm Ashe, as everyone knows, the Barrier Witch. My code name is probably Barrier."

Ashe made a childish sound.

In comparison, Dora seems much more stable than Ash.
"Good morning everyone, I'm Dora, the Witch of Disease. My code name could be Disease or Plague."

Dora was very curious about the council and at the same time she was dissatisfied with Li En. She was not one of the first members. Who were Cameron, Ellie, and Ash? Why didn't she know them?
I've heard of Fia's name. Wasn't she the priestess who defended Li En? How did she become a witch?
Compared to me, a witch who has known Li En for a long time, these witches are the newcomers, right?
In order to maintain her sophisticated image in front of the "newcomers", Dora, who had many question marks on her head, chose to be cautious in her words and actions and kept all her doubts in her heart.

"Welcome the Barrier Witch and the Disease Witch to the meeting."

Dorothy led the applause.

Cameron, Ellie, Sophie and Fia also applauded to express their welcome to the two new members.

"We should actually have a party to celebrate the revision of the Witch Covenant, but we are too busy. There are countless witches waiting for our rescue."

Seeing that Li En stopped talking, Dorothy took over the conversation.

Cameron and Alexander nodded heavily.

Alexander feels that he is now also a "witch" and has a deep sense of belonging to the association.

If you tell her now which witch is in dire straits, she will definitely give up her favorite marshmallows without hesitation and rush to save the witch, so as to increase her presence in the association.

"Mom, who are we going to save now?"

Dorothy paused and said, "This will be what we must say before every meeting. We'll discuss who to save later. President, as the person primarily responsible for handling the last mission, please summarize your work."

Li En looked at Dorothy's serious little face and felt that he was the only employee of the Entry Association.

He sighed in his heart and said slowly,

"The first mission is to save the Time Witch. We've already accomplished it. The Time Witch extended the lifespan of my elders. She can transfer the lifespan of monsters to humans. Everyone can take note of this. The Time Witch is a friend we can win over. Wait for her to return through time next time. We can send someone to recruit her."

Cameron's face turned pale when he heard this. He slammed the table excitedly and stood up.

"What? This was done by the president, why didn't you tell me?"

"Cameron, I asked you to forget the content of the meeting temporarily just to deal with Ophelia's questioning."

Dorothy waved her hand and asked Cameron to sit down.

Cameron's face turned red when she realized her gaffe, but she was still a little depressed.

Dora was far away in the Blue Moon Territory and had no idea that the Time Witch had escaped. She was very surprised that Li En had saved another witch.

At the same time, it was surprising that Li En rescued the witch in the Red Tower?
This is simply the first accident since Hongta’s existence.

I don’t know what Director Ophelia’s expression would be.

Dora was looking forward to it.

Ash was so frightened that he stood up and asked, "What happened to Sister Miriam?"

She was friends with Miriam, who had always taken good care of her.

Although Miriam did not go to the station to see Ash off when he left.

"Ashe, Miriam has violated the highest laws of the empire and has become the first heretic witch in witch history. If you see her in the future, be careful and don't be bewitched by her."

Cameron had just finished speaking when he realized he had made a mistake.

What first heresy? The Entry Mutual Aid Association helped her escape from prison. Is it too late to distance herself now?

"Sorry, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Cameron scratched his hair.

"The second mission, to amend the Witch Convention, has also been approved by the Supreme Council."

Li En spoke briefly.

Although Dora and Ash were far away, they also knew about the revision of the Witch's Covenant.

However, what they heard was that Simon Moriah modified the Witch's Covenant, and they didn't know that Simon Moriah was actually Lee En Moriah's sockpuppet.

The nobles in the capital all knew about it, but people in remote areas were not aware of it.

Dora and Ash have information blind spots.

After hearing what Li En said, the two of them showed shocked expressions again, perfectly hidden in the shadows.

Dora looked around deliberately after realizing that her facial expression management had failed, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she found that no one noticed.

"Damn Li En, he actually did so many big things. I'm afraid I'm the last person to know."

Dora muttered silently to herself.

"Then, Master, what is the next mission of our Entry Mutual Aid Association?"

Dorothy believes that it is important to set common goals and tasks in each meeting, which helps to improve the cohesion and centripetal force of the team and enables the team to develop positively and healthily.

Li En thought for two seconds and said,
"Two things. The first is the plan to rescue the deputy director. Tonghua's family, the Hall family, has signed a hereditary servitude agreement with the Frank family. If Augustus asks Tonghua to marry him, then Tonghua cannot resist due to blood ties. This goes against Tonghua's personal wishes and we must put an end to it. Therefore, this servitude agreement must be dissolved.

"The person who signed the contract has been found. It's Earl Ince Hall, the great father of the Fairy Tale. He currently resides in Red Maple Territory. We need someone to bring him back from Red Maple Territory and find the contract holder so we can find a way to terminate the contract."

Dorothy was slightly stunned. She had not thought that Augustus would use this contract to threaten her.

After all, the two of them are childhood sweethearts, and they are friends if not lovers.

It wasn't until Li En said this that Dorothy began to think about the possibility of this matter.

Since becoming emperor, Augustus has indeed become more and more like a member of the Frank family, putting interests above all else.

If he wanted to get me for profit rather than feelings, he might really do it.

Dorothy took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, President."

"Why don't you let me kill Auglas? Then no one can threaten Mom."

Alexander said angrily.

Cameron's heart almost jumped out of her chest, and her hands were shaking with fear.

What? Regicide? Last time, it was just kidnapping the witch, but this time, it had escalated to the point of regicide?
What kind of incredible cult organization had I joined?
Ellie didn't show any expression. The emperor was too far away from her. As long as she was not allowed to massacre the people, she felt that she had not violated the principles of protecting her people.

Dora and Cameron were of the same mind. What kind of high-level meeting was this? The very first thing they discussed was something as serious as regicide. Was this really something I could listen to?
Ash swallowed, suspecting she had misheard. She looked at Alexander humbly.
"My strange companion, what did you say just now?"

"I said kill Auglas."

Alexander repeated each word with a tone full of rebelliousness and arrogant confidence.

Ashe's face turned pale and she almost fainted from fright.

"Not yet. Auglas's death will cause unrest in the Holy Empire and give Mary an opportunity to take advantage. It will not be good for us if Mary becomes the emperor."

Li En said.

He said it was not possible for the time being, which meant that he had already decided to kill Augulas.

This surprised Dorothy a little.

Hearing what Li En said, Cameron and Ashe wiped the sweat from their foreheads and breathed a sigh of relief.

Dora, who was afraid of chaos in the world, found it boring. She really wanted to see what would happen if the association killed the king.

"I almost thought I was going to be guillotined."

"Puppet, you're such a loser. Do you think I'll lose?"

Alexander said unconvinced.

"You won't lose, but you will get the entire Hall family beheaded."

Fia said lightly.

She explained to the naive Alexander the consequences of killing Auglas. First, it would incur the wrath of the Frank family. Then, the Hall family, still bound by a contract, would be unable to resist and would inevitably be buried with Auglas. Alexander's words shuddered, and he felt that his words had been a bit impulsive.

After all, she is still a young dragon and her mind is not fully mature yet.

"President, please tell me the second thing."

Dorothy looked at Lee En.

Li En nodded and continued,
"Secondly, I'm about to go to the Azure Dragon Court. Ophelia will select 10 witches to follow her on the expedition. I need to obtain detailed information about the witches so that I can select 10 members to join the Mutual Aid Association."

"The first task can be done by me. I can use the portal to pick up uncle."

Dorothy said.

"Leave the second mission to Ellie and me. We are the only ones who know the witches of the Guardian Bureau best."

Cameron volunteered.

Ellie didn't object.

Dora suddenly felt a sense of urgency. What? Ten new people were coming in? She hadn't even confirmed her own senior status, so why were there more people coming in?

"Ahem, I noticed there are only 13 seats here. When the other witches come, where will they sit?"

Dora asked.

"Only the president and the original 12 witches are allowed to participate in the tower meeting. Even if other witches join, they will only be our subordinate members."

Dorothy said,
"The original 12 witches are required to be different in both their fields and strengths. There can be no duplication, and no weaklings. Their personalities must also stand the test. Those present here have no problem, and they will each have their own subordinate teams in the future."

She is determined to develop and expand the Entry Mutual Aid Association and has already developed the awareness of a leader.

Li En suspected that Dorothy was even secretly making five-year and ten-year plans.

Dora's eyes lit up instantly when she heard the vice president say this. This meant that she would have witch subordinates in the future, and they would be the noble 12 original witches.

If that's the case, she doesn't mind new people entering.

The more newcomers the better.

Dora is a witch who likes to try new things and has a positive and optimistic personality.

If Cameron is just pretending to be cheerful and extroverted, then Dora is a real extrovert. Although she is a witch of disease, her personality is more like the sun, and she can warm many people with her warmth and enthusiasm.

Li En felt that there was no problem for Dora to be a team leader.

But she was probably still angry that he had brought her into the Supreme Council so late, so she was acting reserved and not showing her true character.

"Now everyone please report on the situation in your area."

Li En looked at Dora and Ashe; they were the only ones outside.

"Catherine returned to the Blue Moon Territory, quelled the noble rebellion, and rescued Mina and Lor."

Originally, Catherine disappeared from everyone's memory. Everyone believed that Lor was the new lord of Blue Moon Territory, and Mina, as Lor's fiancée, became the acting lord until the memory of Catherine returned to everyone's consciousness.

The nobles began to be dissatisfied with Mina's rule, and Mina herself panicked, so the nobles united and wanted to send Mina and the sleeping Lor to the guillotine. It was not until Catherine returned that the problem was solved and Mina and Lor were successfully rescued.

Throughout the whole process, Dora was in a state of autism because she found that she had forgotten her most important friend and locked herself in a tower.

It was Catherine's return that cheered Dora up again.

"Any further action in the South?"

Lee En asked.

"Members of the White Cross reported back that Rose Territory is expanding conscription, requiring all civilian males aged 14 and above and under 50 to serve."

Dora said that she had previously preached in the Rose Territory, relying on spreading the plague virus and eliminating the plague virus to deceive a group of people. This group of people voluntarily joined the White Cross Society and always regarded Dora as a messenger of God. They belonged to a small cult gang that had begun to take shape.

Today, the White Cross has gradually spread from the common people to the middle class and small aristocrats.

The number of people has also expanded from dozens at the beginning to more than 8000, which can be regarded as a time bomb buried in Rose Territory.

The team also spontaneously established a channel for transmitting information, which can promptly convey the current situation of Rose Collar to Dora, and is now developing freely.

Of course, once the number of people increases, it will be easy to get out of control.

Dora had noticed that they were asking for money more and more often.

Fortunately, Dora has the support of Blue Moon Territory, so money is just a trivial matter to her.

"Magic Box, Blue Moon Territory now has a new guardian witch. You can spend more time managing the White Cross Society and prevent them from causing trouble."

Li En was a little worried that the inflated White Cross would be wiped out by Mary. At this time, a rational decision maker was needed to teach them how to keep a low profile.

Dora nodded. "Well, wait, you should call me Disease, not Magic Box."

"Okay, Ms. Magic Box."

Li En still goes his own way.

Dora hated it so much that her teeth were itching. She didn't like being called the Magic Box.

"Green Shade Territory is well-organized under Miss Anna's governance. I am responsible for guarding the high walls. We have only encountered one monster attack so far."

Ash said.

Li En's brows furrowed slightly. A monster attack? Why would there be a monster attack? The White Bone Forest had been completely razed, except for the skeleton monsters. And those skeleton monsters generally wouldn't easily leave their territory and attack humans.

"It's from the forbidden sea in the north. It's a sea monster that attacks the walls."

Ash explained.

"Has the sea monster started attacking the land?"

"Yes. But they are not strong, just some shark monsters."

Ash said, "My barrier can successfully keep them out. But Miss Anne has already gone to investigate this matter."

Li En nodded and looked at Cameron.

"The Guardian Bureau has been busy lately with the wanted warrant for Miriam and the selection of witches for battle."

Cameron swallowed and said.

Dorothy and Sophie had nothing to report. They couldn't report on the progress of their relationship, could they?

Fia knocked on the table and everyone looked at her.

She pushed up the frame of her glasses and said with a smile,
"Everyone, I've combined magic cards with empire cards to develop a new way to play. This card in my hand is a high wall. After injecting a special magic circuit, releasing the card will create a brand new high wall. This is very helpful in defending against monster attacks."

Fia is addicted to the ocean of knowledge and cannot extricate herself. Her recent creations have even surpassed Dorothy's level. The main reason is that Dorothy spends too much time on love.

Once again, Fia's creation amazed the witches.

"As expected of the Witch of Wisdom, this is truly groundbreaking."

Dora exclaimed, Cameron, Ellie, and Ash were also very excited.

For the guardian witches, the effect of this card is undoubtedly very important, almost equivalent to allowing them to be immune to a powerful spell attack.

"Sir Wisdom, can you trade this card to me?"

Ash asked.

"Yes, in addition to [High Wall], I also have three special cards: [Heal], [Degrade Intelligence], and [Pet]. [Heal] can restore basic injuries to ordinary soldiers within a 100-meter radius. [Degrade Intelligence] can reduce the intelligence of all creatures within a 100-meter radius, turning humans into animals and animals into mindless beings, losing their ability to think. This card is ineffective against five-star knights, five-star assassins, and silver disciples. [Pet] can make the target willingly become your slave. The card's effect lasts for one year, after which your pet will leave you. This card is ineffective against five-star knights, five-star assassins, and silver disciples."

"And the common cards [Maple Leaf A] and [Maple Leaf 2]. Using these cards, two Maple Leaf Knights will appear, each with the power of a three-star knight."

There are four colors of Empire cards, representing spring, summer, autumn and winter respectively, [Four-Leaf Clover], [Rose], [Maple Leaf] and [Snowflake]. In Fia's hands, these four colors of cards can all summon knights, but they are obviously not as powerful as special cards.

"Everyone, I'd like to invite you to help create a complete set of Empire special magic cards, because my power alone is too weak. For example, the [Snowflake] card requires the power of the Ice Witch, and the [Four-Leaf Clover] requires the Fairy Witch."

Fia said.

"No problem, I'll join."

Dorothy was happy to do so, as she loved studying magic.

This is what she imagined a witch tea party should be like, with everyone discussing and studying magic together.

Sophie nodded as well. She also thought the cards were interesting.

Plus, Fia gifted her a pet, so the two of them were already friends.

Then everyone started sharing the magic cards they made and trading them through barter.

As witches participating in the meeting for the first time, Ashe and Dora could only envy.

Lee Eun also showed the members the seven [Angel] cards he made.

"One a day, that's exactly seven, and I can give them to everyone for free."

As the chairman, Li En felt that it was okay to be generous to his subordinates.

"It is used to summon the angel Soraya. When you need her, do not show her to others easily, and do not give her to others."

"Thank you so much, President."

Cameron was overjoyed. She didn't expect that she would own such a precious card.

Dora and Ashe didn't expect that the card would actually be in their hands. They thought that remote meetings could not achieve the transfer of items.

Dorothy explained to everyone with a smile, "I engraved space magic on the invitation stone. Magical items can be transported, but gold and silver cannot."

"Then is the witch a magical item?"

Dora asked.

"If you're willing to be disassembled and then reassembled, potentially leaving your internal organs in another dimension, you can actively break through the barrier and appear before us."

Dorothy said.

"never mind."

Dora backed off, thinking it wasn't worth the risk.

Dorothy wrote down the key points of the meeting. She felt that this was a good development. The meeting gave each witch a new task.

In order to help Dora and Ashe integrate as quickly as possible, Li En asked Fia to teach them the secret of making magic cards.

After the meeting, the people sitting at the round table in the tower still felt a little reluctant to leave.

Li En discovered that there were two more entries on Fia's head.

[Empire Magic Card Creator] Be the first person to combine the Empire Card and the Magic Card. Your name will be recorded in the history of the Holy Empire and become the wisest existence.

[Wisdom Pioneer] Your inventions inspire countless people who yearn for knowledge and magic. They will become your followers, devoutly believing in knowledge and wisdom. They will believe that knowledge can change destiny and will respect wisdom above all else.

Li En always felt that something was wrong with Fia's entry. Why did he feel that she would move step by step towards becoming the goddess of wisdom?
Could it be that she would become the second angel under his seat?

When Fia, Sophie and Dorothy were discussing magic, Cameron and Ellie couldn't get a word in at all. They could only tell Li En about those promising witches based on their memory.

……

Cathedral of St. Lucas.

A magnificent palace that combines Renaissance and Baroque styles stands in it.

The exterior of the palace has been eroded by the traces of time, revealing a calm sense of history, while the interior is a completely different scene: the magnificent hall, the flames leaping beside the fireplace, sending warmth to every corner of the room; the high-hanging murals, colorful, tell the legend of the interweaving of religion and art.

From the high arched doors and windows, you can see the scenery of the palace back garden, with towering ancient trees, lush greenery, fountains spitting pearls, and flocks of white pigeons.

The sunlight shines into the magnificent papal residence, but it cannot penetrate the civil engineering and reach the dark and damp basement.

The handsome young Pope Randall is in the basement, talking to his skeletal lover Selina.

"Selina, I recently invited Hall twice, but he refused both times. I guess he had some kind of misfortune at sea. He's always like this, not wanting to cause me any trouble. He likes to take on everything by himself. Being too kind isn't a good thing, is it?"

"But Hall is still your friend, and your friendship will not deteriorate."

Selina, who was only a skeleton left, spoke softly.

She was actually in great pain, having to stay with her lover in this form.

Unfortunately, she had lost her tear glands and could not shed tears, and she had also lost her skin and muscle tissue and could not express sadness.

Her voice was cold and desolate, like snowflakes in winter, like fallen leaves in autumn, with a sense of depression and loneliness, which made Randall feel guilty.

"I'm sorry, Selina, I made you wait too long."

"Please, Randall, let me go."

Selina asks Randall for the 1383rd time, hoping he can kill her in this form.

Selina didn't think that Randall's resurrection of her was a blessing, but rather a terrible curse.

She was imprisoned in this palace, in the basement, suffering endless loneliness and torture.

Even though Selina once loved Randall very much, she is now left with only pain.

"Selena, do you still love me?"

This was the 1579th time Randall asked Selina.

Selina said, "Randall, you should let go. I'm in a state where I can't love anyone anymore. Including you."

"Selena, tell me you love me."

This was the 1579th time Randall had given Selina his orders as a master.

Selina said woodenly,

"Randall, I love you."

A tear slowly rolled down Randall's cheek. He took the hand of his skeletal lover Selina with great satisfaction and danced with her in the basement, just like the summer dance many years ago when Randall and Selina danced together and secretly pledged their lives to each other.

Randall bent down and kissed his skeletal lover.

Selina responded mechanically.

Sometimes she was confused, like a puppet, and she would do whatever Randall said.

Sometimes she wakes up and realizes that all this is the result of manipulation, which makes her extremely painful.

Selena felt like she was just a skeleton without a heart. If she couldn't even love herself, how could she love others?
Whenever she saw herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but tremble with fear.

Seeing Randall entangled with her, Selina had an idea in her mind.

monster.

Her former lover has been turned into a monster by this world.

The monster that imprisoned her.

"Selina, do you feel my love?"

Randall asked.

"No, I felt fear."

Selina said, "You're kissing a skeleton."

"Selina, tell me you feel my love."

"I feel your love."

"Selina, say the most touching love words."

"Randall, you are not alone. I will always be by your side. Our love will be eternal. Even if this world disappears, my love for you will not disappear. I will not forget the little things we once had just because I become a skeleton. I will always love you, always be with you, and always be loyal to you."

"Selina, tell me what you really think."

"Randall, let me die, okay?"

Randall let go of Selina in a depressed mood, turned around and left, closing the basement door.

Selena didn't chase after him, she was used to it.

"Selina, I won't keep you waiting too long. The Eye of the Future, the Seal of Split, and the Blue Dragon Whip should all be in Lee En Moriah's hands. It's time to close the net."
