He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

Ivy looked at the man opposite her with a somewhat surprised expression.

"Maurice?"

"Wait, you remember 30 million years ago?"

When Ivy questioned him, the man called Morris calmly wiped the bloodstains off his hands.

"Oh, just as I guessed, you've remembered everything."

As he spoke, Maurice pulled out a chair and sat down calmly.

"It seems you have achieved your initial goal and have taken control of your destiny."

"Let me guess, it must be because of that person's help again..."

"No, that person is already dead and can no longer help you."

Morris pulled out a cigarette and skillfully lit it.

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind swept past Morris, extinguishing the newly lit spark.

Morris looked at Ivy, who rushed up and put a sword to his neck, and said something indifferently.

"It's a very beautiful sword, quite in line with your temperament."

He gripped the blade with his bare hands and slowly pressed down.

"Calm down, don't keep dwelling on the past."

"If you stay stuck in the past, you won't grow at all."

As he spoke, Maurice lit a cigarette with his other hand.

"call…"

"I should be more sorrowful than you."

"The alchemist is completely dead now, except for that one time when he stepped in to protect you."

"As for the traveler, although he is still alive, he is practically dead. I heard that his mental state has improved a lot recently, but that's not enough."

"And the last one, Brandon, my friend. Not only is he alive, but he's also mentally sound, yet I have no face to see him again."

Morris exhaled a smoke ring upwards, his tone becoming increasingly indifferent.

"According to our previous agreement, I should have stepped in at the last minute to help stop Prospero, but to my surprise, someone beat me to it..."

Before the words were finished, a loud whooshing sound suddenly rang out.

"Whoosh—!!!"

Morris's hand, which was pressing down on the sword, was instantly severed. Before blood could even spurt out, Ivy had already placed her longsword against his neck.

At the same time, a crimson greatsword appeared above his head, ready to strike at any moment.

"Whoa..."

"They think highly of my treatment."

Morris remained seated, looking at the white-haired girl who had suddenly appeared.

Thank you.

She looked around, casually pulled out a chair, and sat down opposite Maurice.

"Your name is Maurice, right? I remember you."

"If I remember correctly, you were a member of the Imperial Guard, weren't you?"

As he spoke, Xie Bai took out a badge from his backpack.

The Sword of Roland

A commemorative badge brought from the Golden Age, bearing the coat of arms of the Roland Empire.

Morris looked at the badge, and his previously dim eyes suddenly lit up.

"Is this thing even fit to continue existing in this era...?"

Morris instinctively reached out, about to touch the badge, but was stopped by Atoris's greatsword.

Xie Bai looked at Morris, picked up the badge with great interest, and began to play with it between his fingers.

"Speaking of which, you're the one who gave me this thing, but since you want it, I'm not refusing to give it to you."

"but…"

Xie Bai flipped the badge over and put it into his backpack.

"You have to answer a few questions for me. If you answer them correctly, I'll give you that badge as a reward, how about it?"

Xie Bai smiled and looked at Morris.

With both sides holding him hostage, even if Maurice wanted to refuse, Atoris and Ivy wouldn't agree to it without Xie Bai's permission.

Ivy, in particular, wanted to get rid of Morris as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.

However, Maurice would not grant her wish.

He followed up on Xie Bai's question and said...

"Sure, but is there anything you'd like to ask?"

"I happen to know some secrets about witches, I wonder if you'd be interested."

Upon hearing this, Xie Bai paused for a moment, then looked at Ivy standing to the side.

A few beads of sweat appeared on Ivy's forehead, and her arm holding the sword was still trembling slightly.

"Um……"

"Forget it, I'm not really interested."

Upon hearing Xie Bai's words, Ivy immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Morris squinted, looking at Xie Bai with a hint of doubt.

"Really? Then it seems I was being presumptuous."

"Go ahead and ask me what you want to know. I'll try my best to tell you. Of course, I can't bring myself to talk about those things that have been erased by time."

Ignoring the hostages around him, Maurice lit a second cigarette.

Xie Bai pondered for a moment, then asked.

Are you a member of the Wheel of Fortune?

"cough…!"

Morris choked on his cigarette.

"Are you just guessing...?"

Xie Bai twirled his finger across the table.

"Um……"

"That's right."

"Why such a strong reaction? Did I guess right?"

Morris extinguished his cigarette and shook his head.

"call…"

"No, but I do understand what you mean by the Wheel of Fortune."

As he spoke, Morris tapped the table lightly.

"To be honest, explaining the origin of this existence is somewhat complicated, but it is indeed very simple to say that their purpose is simple."

"It's about gathering all the chosen ones, making them gods, and establishing a new order to replace the true gods of the High Court."

"However, this is actually a destiny written by Prospero himself. If he can influence it even slightly, he can take the opportunity to turn it into his own ascension ritual, thereby becoming someone even more advanced than a true god..."

"The Supreme God."

Morris lit another cigarette from somewhere and leaned back in his chair, relaxing.

"However, the appearance of the Fate Witch has disrupted this situation. Now that Prospero is asleep, the ownership of the power of fate has been altered. The program has gone wrong, so it's not easy for those guys to make an appearance."

After hearing Morris's explanation, Xie Bai was still a little confused.

"Wait, this is a lot of information..."

Xie Bai covered his head and looked at Morris.

"How do you know all this miscellaneous information?"

Morris paused for a moment when Xie Bai asked him the question.

"How did I know...?"

He thought for a moment, then took out a book.

"Wait a moment, let me look for it."

At this moment, Xie Bai sat opposite him, his gaze fixed on the cover of the book, his lips twitching slightly.

[The ultimate guide specially prepared by the brilliant, beautiful, and unparalleled "Anonymous" in case you forget how to answer.]

"What a long title..."

Let's not even talk about the anonymity that was specifically marked.

She really wanted to ask, which kind person would include quotation marks in the title of their book on the cover?

"etc…"

Book title marks?

Xie Bai recalled for a moment.

Does this world have quotation marks?

Also, did Morris just say something incredible?

Before Xie Bai could react, Morris's reply rang out.

Sorry, there is no answer.

"Bang!"

Xie Bai struggled to his feet from the table and punched Morris.

"What nonsense! Give it to me, I'll look at it myself!"

After saying that, Xie Bai snatched the book from his hand and opened it to take a look.

The result was somewhat unexpected.

The same sentence is written on every page of this book.

【(・ω＜ )★Hehehe, you got fooled, didn't you?】

"???"
