Becoming a god by raising witches

"You're in?"

“I didn’t go in. When I got to the coffee shop entrance, I realized something was wrong and turned around to leave. An invisible force started tearing and pulling at me, trying to drag me inside. I was injured by this force. It pulled me for several hours, but it still couldn’t pull me in, so it spat me out.”

Eileen explained in detail, because she sensed her pet owner's concern, which is why she spoke so carefully.

Locke nodded slightly. "Regarding the Galken Coffee Shop in the East District, Chief Renis said it's a very tricky situation, and she will handle it personally."

"It is indeed very dangerous; you'd better not get involved."

Erin said.

Locke nodded. "Of course, this level of danger is beyond the capabilities of a novice like me."

After finishing his conversation with the black cat Irene, Locke made sandwiches and woke Hannah up.

Hannah stayed up too late last night and lingered in bed a little this morning.

When she saw the black cat lying on the sofa, a warm smile appeared on her face. She walked over to the sofa, picked up the black cat, and rubbed and pinched it.

"That's great, Xiao Ai, you're back. Locke and I were worried about you all night."

Eileen pushed Hannah's face away with her furry cat paws, stopping her from rubbing against her.

The maid's enthusiasm was always overwhelming for her.

Eileen prefers to maintain a certain distance from each other.

But she didn't use force to control Hannah away, which proves that she has gradually accepted Hannah.

Locke was pleased that the two could coexist peacefully.

One is her older sister Hannah, and the other is the witch she raised. They should get along harmoniously so that her life will be easier.

As usual, Locke first went to the Church of Life to pray, chatted for a few words with the green leaf girl who had a crush on him, then went to the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations to clock in, had breakfast with the director, and then took a portrait and collar of Princess Frida's beloved dog Suad to find Boyd, a wizard.

I plan to find Suyad after I finish my occult course.

"Before we start this course, I need to tell you a basic fact."

"The only thing that can fight against the supernatural is the supernatural itself."

Boyd produced a pair of glasses at some point, put them on, and said with a dejected expression,

"The system of the supernatural is very complex. Based on the experience of our predecessors, we have roughly divided it into three systems."

First, the wizarding system mainly utilizes external forces, transforming them into its own power. It exerts its power through rituals, herbs, and spells. I belong to this type of wizard in the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations. Wizards must believe in the church, and our power comes from God's response to us.

Secondly, the mutation system mainly utilizes one's own power, gaining power by transforming one's human form, becoming a half-human, half-monster existence. This type of person usually has a fatal flaw: a certain desire is amplified infinitely, which is very similar to the witch.

Sieg, Angela, and Dimo ​​from the Bureau of Investigation all belong to the mutant system. Well, you probably belong to this category too.

Third, bloodline system: if one's parents are supernatural beings, vampires, werewolves, witches, or demons, they can obtain supernatural powers through their bloodline. The Director and Robson belong to this category.

Regardless of the system, power can reach its peak, but compared to other systems, the mutated system is more prone to getting out of control. If the desire to expand infinitely reaches a certain level, it will lead to an irreversible abyss.

For example, Sieg, this playboy, might end up as a mindless breeding machine, only knowing how to keep doing that kind of thing.

Angela might turn into an insect crawling on the ground, and she'll even change into a different dress every day while crawling.

Dimo will drown in a vat of liquor, becoming a true alcoholic.

After hearing Boyd's words, Locke broke out in a cold sweat.

Is this a horror story?

Chapter 91, The Strange Person Who Doesn't Belong to Any System

And what about myself? What will I become? Just a machine that only knows how to make food and cook?

No, I haven't mutated at all in essence. I rely on the power of the system and the strange power I gained by feeding the witch. It's different from all three systems.

If I had to categorize myself, I would be considered an oddball outside of these three systems.

The bishops, priests, and missionaries of the church are basically all eccentric figures within the wizarding system.

Locke strongly suspected that becoming a wizard would have side effects, otherwise why would Boyd be so depressed?

Director Renis and Robson are both considered oddities within the bloodline system. Could it be that Renis's mother was a witch? It's quite possible, after all, she herself is a hidden witch.

What bloodline does this seemingly harmless young man, Robson, possess? Perhaps we could ask Mrs. Ferrea.

Forget it, I'd better not pry into other people's secrets.

"Boyd, was the reason why my previous prayer ritual was not completely successful also because of this?"

"No, that's not the reason. The rituals I taught you were the most basic and simple ones. Even someone who isn't a wizard can do them. You simply haven't received enough response from the goddess."

Boyd said with a mournful face.

"ok, I get it."

Locke was somewhat frustrated.

Boyd comforted him, "It's alright. It's already quite good that the newcomers have mastered this level within a week. Today we're going to learn another ritual: finding lost items."

"Great, that's exactly what I need right now. Can this method also be used to find people or dogs?"

Locke brought Suyad's portrait and dog leash in order to find Suyad.

He really didn't want to be a dog thief, and of course, he didn't want to become the princess's dog either.

"Of course, finding lost items is just a general term. As long as the right object is used, it is possible to find living things."

Boyd gave an affirmative answer, then pushed up his glasses and said,

"There is a map of Kosork on the third shelf of the sixth bookshelf. Take the map down and spread it out on the floor."

Locke immediately went to the sixth bookshelf in the library, found the Geography of Kosork, took out the book, and pulled out the map.

Following Boyd's instructions, he laid the map out on the relatively open floor of the library.

"Now take out something that belongs to Suyad, preferably something that has been imbued with his aura and has been carried around for a long time."

Boyd said slowly.

Locke took out the dog leash.

Boyd nodded slightly. "Place it in the middle of the map."

Locke continued to do as instructed.

"Now all we need to do is pray to the goddess. Candles and hydrosols are essential ritual materials, and this ritual also requires some soil and a seed."

As Boyd spoke, he took out three candles, a special hydrosol, and a seed.

Light the candle, bury the dog leash in the soil, place the seeds in the soil, and sprinkle hydrosol.

Recite the spell in the language of dragons.

"The Great Mother of All Beings,"

Mother Earth

The Creator of Life

The creators of chaos and order

I request that you contact me.

Give seeds the power to find.

The user of the item has been found.

As the incantation was finished, the seed broke through the soil and grew into a green seedling that looked like a bean sprout.

The green seedlings turned and grew westward on the map, eventually stopping in the area near Tre Bridge in the eastern part of Kosalk. This area is also known as the Tre Bridge District, and like the Tre Bridge District in the western part, it is a place where a large number of middle-class people gather. However, the middle class in the eastern part is obviously more valuable than that in the western part.

After the green seedlings stopped growing, they withered quickly, turning into a brown line that lay across the map.

The seed has fulfilled its mission, but it has also lost its vitality.

"This is called a 'finding herb'. You can apply for it in the warehouse, but you'll have to wait until you become a full-fledged employee."

Boyd said.

Locke looked at the magical green seedlings and was suddenly very tempted. He decided to go and collect a few as soon as he was officially hired.

"Thanks, Boyd."

"You're welcome. Go quickly. I hope Princess Frida's beloved dog Suad survived last night's blizzard."

Boyd said with a mournful face, and Locke felt that the blessing coming from his mouth was somewhat ominous.

He left the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations and traveled by carriage to the Trey Bridge area.

Despite the thick snow covering the buildings on both sides of the road, the main road remained unobstructed, and sanitation workers were still clearing the snow from the road.

In stark contrast to the snow-covered roads in the West End, not every area was cleared. Only the Wales and Queens districts, the Civic District and the Cathedral of Life area were spotless, while other areas still occasionally showed patches of snow.

Locke arrived at the location indicated by the Seed Grass, 31 Raven Lane in the Trey Bridge district, where there was an abandoned old church.

A golden retriever lay quietly in front of the old church, frozen to death.

The golden retriever is obviously Princess Frida Kahlo's beloved dog, Suad.

As Boyd had predicted, Suyad did not survive yesterday's blizzard.
