Becoming a god by raising witches

Page 150

Why did the Queen do this?

Locke looked intently at Eileen.

Eileen licked her paws. "Knowing these things won't do you any good."

"Whether it's Compass Water Company or Bill Harper's downfall, my investigation and Hannah's investigation were the triggers. Hannah has now been recruited to the Tumen Times. I need to know what the Queen's true purpose is in order to avoid risks."

Locke said.

"There are some things that you can't avoid, even if you know them."

Eileen opened her mouth, and Locke peeled another candy for her.

"And all of this is just your speculation. You have no direct evidence to prove that the Queen is connected with them."

"You must know something, right, Xiao Ai?"

[Ding! Successfully fed the witch!]

What will happen when the new Alchemy Act is enacted?

Eileen suddenly asked.

"The advantage is reduced environmental pollution, but the disadvantage is the closure of a large number of non-compliant small-scale gold refineries and the loss of a large number of workers."

Locke said.

"Think again."

Locke looked at Eileen and suddenly remembered his former political science teacher.

He pondered for a moment and said,

"With the monopoly of the alchemy industry, capital and technology are concentrated, allowing for greater investment in research and innovation, which in turn enables the alchemical church to develop further."

Who is the god worshipped by the Alchemy Church?

"Eileen asked."

"The God of Alchemy".

"What is His authority?"

"Um, I really don't know, but I can look it up."

"Creation and destruction."

Eileen shook her head and said calmly.

Locke paused, a clue connecting all the questions in his mind.

Your Majesty, you want to start a war!

Therefore, the water pollution caused by the Compass Company and the alchemy plant was not an accident, but was orchestrated by the Queen and the Alchemy Church.

Is the Alchemy Church trying to undermine the Life Cult's rule in the Kingdom of Tumen through war?

What was the Queen's purpose?

Did she reach some kind of agreement with the Alchemy Church, or was she herself able to profit from the war?

"Is it a coincidence that the witch Sheria appeared in both of these incidents?"

Locke stopped feeding Eileen sugar because he had tested it and found that it had no effect after three times, at least not for a day.

"When you ask this question, it means you're already having doubts."

Eileen yawned and curled up on the soft bed.

"Is the Queen using witches to orchestrate these events? Or is the Alchemy Church using witches to cause trouble?"

Locke sat down on Eileen's bed.

Eileen nudged his bottom with her paw, indicating that her human was not welcome sitting there.

Locke could only get up dejectedly.

What's the difference between the two?

"Of course there is a difference. If Sheria is the witch's subordinate, then we will have offended the queen without even realizing it. If Sheria is a member of the Alchemy Church, then we will have offended the Alchemy Church without even realizing it."

Locke said seriously.

"You haven't offended any of you. Sheria was meant to be abandoned. Neither the Queen nor the Alchemy Church would stand up for her. Now that you know the truth, what do you plan to do next?"

How about moving?

"This is the capital city. Even if war breaks out, this is the safest place."

"It's impossible for the entire continent to be at war, right?"

"That depends on just how ambitious Katerina Tumen really is."

"Then should we move to the Northern Continent?"

"Then you'll need to cross the endless sea. Do you know that the probability of encountering strange things at sea is several times higher than on land?"

"Eileen asked."

"How many times?"

Locke looked at Eileen with a puzzled expression.

"If it's the Endless Sea, that's 10 times; if it's the Abyss Sea, that's 100 times. To successfully cross the ocean, you'd need to reach at least Cardinal Nob Stott's level. Otherwise, you might as well stay on the Southern Continent."

Eileen said in a calm tone.

"People are living quite well now, could you persuade the Queen not to start a war?"

Locke sat down on Eileen's soft bed once again.

Eileen stretched out her paw again and nudged him.

Locke shifted his position and looked at Eileen.

Eileen narrowed her eyes. "It's just that your life has gotten better. Even Kosork is divided into East and West districts. Every winter, there are countless homeless people. The contradictions within the kingdom are already very deep. If the Queen wants to continue to maintain her rule and even achieve something, she will inevitably shift the domestic contradictions to foreign countries. Launching a war is the best breakthrough."

Locke thought about it carefully and felt that Eileen's words made a lot of sense.

And judging from her confident tone, Eileen knows Her Majesty the Queen very well.

"So what can I do now?"

"You can't do anything else but strengthen your own abilities."

Eileen licked her paws and washed her face.

"Of course, you can also use your identity as an investigator to help me find more witches."

Are you going to be a witch hunter now?

Locke joked.

"This is just preparation for the eve of a blizzard."

Eileen waved her paw. "Go back to your attic and rest. I'm sleepy."

Locke nodded and went up the stairs from the room to the attic.

He bent over, walked to the bedside, and lay down on the not-so-soft wooden bed.
