Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

"Brothers and sisters who were brave enough to sacrifice themselves broke through the demon's barrier. What a tragic story, brother. I assure you, they have all gone to heaven."

"Uh... not like that."

The guards didn't quite understand what Sister Alice was talking about, and the story didn't unfold the way Sister Alice had imagined.

"The sinner Charlene made the conditions for breaking the barrier completely public and told every elf using magic."

"Any questions?"

Sister Alice was still puzzled.

Angelica already understood why the sinner Charlene had set a despicable trap.

"Miss Nun, whether they are humans or elves, once they know that they are being used as consumables, they will never be willing."

Sister Alice and Anna might not be able to understand that the former always maintained a passionate heart to devote herself to God, while the latter would go through fire and water for the master's order, although Angelica would definitely not do so.

The guard smiled wryly and nodded.

"The barrier set by the sinner Charlene requires the lives of 100 elves to break it, and there are no other requirements. Who should go? No elf volunteered."

"No requirements mean that any elf can do it; any elf can do it, which leads to the most critical question -"

Angelica narrowed her eyes.

"Why should I go?"

The elves of the Royal Guard did not speak, but their expressions betrayed everything. The witch's speculation was exactly the inside story of what happened in Lateran that year.

If anyone can do it, why should I sacrifice my life? Why don't you go? Doesn't he also meet the requirements?

【Witch TIPS】

"Blue" I don't want to say anything more.

Well, if I must say it, she had it all her own fault for being attacked by the Magic Secret Society.

"Lan"'s way of immortality is to constantly kill other lives, absorb the remaining lives of others, and transfer them to herself. She doesn't like to hunt one by one, thinking that it is too troublesome, so she always harvests a large area at one time. But in essence, "Lan" enjoys the taste of taking other people's lives. In most cases, she uses immortality as an excuse to satisfy her own selfish desires... Witches have a bad reputation thanks to her. "

352 The Witch and the Ghost

"Eh? Is this question crucial?"

Sister Alice was still puzzled.

"Miss Sister, you have traveled thousands of miles from the human territory to Albion Island. Do you feel that there are obvious differences between humans and elves? For example, there are some classes that humans have but elves do not have?"

"class……?"

Sister Alice pondered for a moment. Although she was not sure, she did discover that certain phenomena on the Elf Island did not exist.

"It seems that the poor and beggars in the human territory are not seen on the island of Albion."

Tramps and beggars are very common in the human world. There are vagrants in many villages and towns, and in some places there are slums where vagrants gather. Sister Alice once went to the slums to preach. Before that, the sisters in the monastery reminded Sister Alice not to go to such places because the people there would never have any good intentions.

However, Sister Alice succeeded in her missionary work and escaped unscathed. After all, her ability was overwhelming, and she remained unscathed even when she encountered despicable tricks. The doctrine that Sister Alice believed in taught her to be kind to the poor, so she always regarded the poor as brothers and sisters.

However, there are no poor people on the Elf Island. At most, some elves have been cheated by bad elves and have lost everything.

Angelica explained.

"Elves are generally a race with low desires and abundant resources. The main causes of poverty in the human world are food, clothing, housing and transportation. The environment of Albion Island means that as long as the elves do not over-reproduce, they will not have any problems with food and housing. Humans need to work to obtain food and daily necessities, but the food of the elves is the fruits that grow naturally on Albion Island. The low desires also make the elves basically self-sufficient in necessities, so the elves are a race without poverty."

"It's wonderful, just like heaven. The elves are really believers in God."

"But the elves' system also has its flaws. In most cases, elves are content with the status quo and are very satisfied with their living conditions. Since there is nothing to be dissatisfied with, why should we risk our lives?"

The Elf Guards spread their hands helplessly.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Who would be willing to die for nothing?"

"The barrier created by Charlene can be solved in the minds of humans and orcs. There are a lot of homeless people and beggars in the human world. If you are the king of a country, you only need to capture a hundred homeless people in your territory. Civilians will not have sympathy or good feelings towards homeless people and beggars because they are always inseparable from keywords such as theft and crime."

Angelica has traveled to many countries and witnessed different races. Faced with the difficulty of the barrier that requires Charlene to sacrifice a hundred lives, the human king will probably fill the gap with poor people without hesitation.

"Not to mention the orcs, they have a belief in honorable death, not to mention they have a class of war slaves. In short, the orcs have a way. Only the elves can't do it. The elves' system can't find a bottom line where sacrifice is not a big deal, and they don't have a belief in self-sacrifice. Charlene's barrier can almost be said to be a dead end."

Sister Alice seemed to be thinking about something. Even though she might not fully understand it, she at least knew that it would be difficult for the Elf King to remove Charlene's barrier.

Even the Elf Guards had to admit that it was exactly as Angelica had described. The Elf King was caught in a dilemma at the time, and the Guards refused to use their own lives to fill the vacancy. They were afraid that summoning all the elves would have the same result, as no elf would sacrifice themselves voluntarily.

"almost……"

Anna discovered that Angelica had not spoken definite words.

"What does the master think the Elf King will do?"

"In my opinion... a generous reward will be used."

"Oh..."

"It seems that I guessed right."

"Incredible. We haven't even said anything yet, and you've almost guessed where the story is going."

The SS did not deny it.

"You guessed right. At that time, the Elf King decided to offer a large reward to recruit elves who were willing to sacrifice themselves. Only then did he finally gather enough places for the 100 elves."

As the saying goes, a big reward will always bring a brave man. As long as the reward is generous enough, some elves may be willing to step forward, probably for their families. However, elves are not a race that attaches great importance to the concept of family. What the high elves value is the purity of bloodline. Therefore, the 100 elves recruited must regard family as more important than anything else and are willing to sacrifice their lives.

If sacrificing oneself can bring a family a life of abundance and comfort, there are many people who think that "one's life is nothing but a worthless one". If they are ruthlessly betrayed in the end -

Their anger will never be quelled easily.

The Guardsman continued.

"The Elf King offered a generous reward, which was beyond his ability to bear. It would probably require the Elf King to become a tyrant and exploit the island of Albion for fifty years to satisfy the reward. But the Elf King still promised them that he would do it. The Elf King determined that the sacrifice held by the sinner Charlene would bring more serious consequences than sacrificing a hundred elves, and the Elf King loved the Fairy Queen very much."

The Elf King’s judgment of Charlene could not be said to be completely wrong. At least Angelica felt that Charlene had definitely not found a legitimate way to reach Sequence One at that time. She had completely gone astray.

"But the Elf King failed to keep his promise in the end."

"Well, after they died, the Elf King personally killed the sinner Charlene and rescued the elves that had not been sacrificed, including the Fairy Queen. The Elf King hoped to use the blood of the sinners to soothe the souls of the 100 elves who died. The 100 elves who died believed that they had been betrayed. Their anger, unwillingness, and resentment grew day by day, and eventually formed powerful vengeful spirits in Lateran. The Elf King had no ability to purify them, so he could only seal the vengeful spirits and suppress them forever in Lateran."

Not a good idea.

Angelica didn't speak directly.

The best solution for dealing with resentful spirits is always to purify them as quickly as possible, because the hatred of the resentful spirits will not be forgotten over time, and suppressing them will only cause the resentful spirits to breed stronger hatred, and over time, it will become a disaster that no one can solve.

No wonder Oberon was helpless against the evil spirit of Lateran...

They were deceived, just like the few people who were sacrificed in the trolley problem. After so much time, they may have forgotten why they became vengeful spirits. All that is left is the hatred that cannot be eliminated. In other words, even if the current Elf King meets their past demands, the vengeful spirits of the one hundred elves cannot be dissipated.

"I have a way to purify them."

353 Witch and Purification

"Oh, really?"

The Royal Guards were still a little surprised. Even though Sister Alice claimed at the beginning that Angelica was an angel and had a method to purify evil spirits, the Royal Guards felt that it was not credible and continued to communicate with Angelica and others just with the attitude of "giving it a try".

Now that Angelica had admitted that she had a way, combined with the ease that Angelica had shown in the previous conversation, the Royal Guards had a brief communication and agreed to let Angelica try.

"I must remind you that once the vengeful spirit is released, it will take some effort to seal it back. Although we have a way to seal it, it is best not to anger the vengeful spirit."

"..."

Angelica did not respond. She had already begun to confirm the form of the seal: a prison composed of magic circles, which would fix the vengeful spirit underground in a light sleep. Its anger and resentment would be decomposed through the magic circle, making it impossible for the vengeful spirit to revive on its own. Just as the more sophisticated the instrument, the more afraid it is of small parts going wrong. The magic circle would disintegrate with a slight modification, and the vengeful spirit would break the seal and come out.

Seeing that Angelica ignored him, the guard continued talking.

"If you can, we ask you to give them a merciful rest. They are all poor elves."

“…Impossible.”

"what?"

"The hatred of the vengeful spirits will not fade with time, but their hatred will spread over time. At first, they hated the Elf King who deceived them, then the entire elf race, and finally the whole world. Now their hatred will not dissipate with the Elf King's atonement. All I can do is force them to be purified."

Before the guards could understand what was going on, Angelica had already adjusted the magic circle's technique, and purple and black magic mist gushed out from the ground.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaa——”

scream.

The crying of babies, the screams of women, the wailing of the dying, countless sounds mixed together, and a translucent hideous ghost finally saw the light of day. Even though the guards had obtained the magic formula for sealing the vengeful spirits taught by the Elf King himself, they still felt terrified.

They had never seen such naked hatred before, and just as Angelica said, as time went by, the hatred of the vengeful spirits continued to spread, until they hated the entire world.

It screamed and rushed towards the guards, probably because it saw that they were elves and took them as its priority target. The vengeful spirit hated everything, but it also had its priority targets.

However, the vengeful spirit directly hit a transparent wall. The vengeful spirit is essentially a spirit, and ordinary physical means are ineffective against it. Only magic can do that. The price of using magic to block it is: the hatred of the vengeful spirit will be instantly transferred to the user of the magic.

Angelica's face was cold, and she turned a blind eye to the roar of the vengeful spirit.

The magic wand appeared in Angelica's hand at some point, and the complex magic circle that the guards could not understand surrounded the evil spirits without even having to chant.

"Magic: In short, it's a technique used to deal with evil spirits!"

"what???"

The guards looked confused. Was that the chanting of a magic spell?

Sister Alice's eyes lit up and she subconsciously wanted to shout out, but Anna, who was quick-witted, covered her mouth.

Chastity Sequence 3: Heavenly Exile, used to overload the Holy Light magic of the Undead. Sister Alice had not yet reached the Chastity Sequence 3, so she almost shouted out in excitement. A magician who could use Sequence 3 magic must not be an ordinary magician, so Anna could not let Sister Alice reveal her master's identity.

But using sequence three magic alone is not enough to destroy the vengeful spirits of one hundred elves.

Angelica knew that her old friend Oberon would never be stumped by Sequence 3 magic. The real problem was the consequences. Purifying the vengeful spirits with the powerful Brick Fly would cause the hatred of the vengeful spirits to be transformed into magic power, triggering an explosion that could destroy several towns, and would pollute the earth veins, leaving the land barren. This was what was troubling Oberon.

Angelica not only used the Heavenly Kingdom Exile Magic, but also superimposed several Sequence 2 Magics to ensure that the vengeful spirits of the one hundred elves would not pollute the land. On the premise of superimposing several magics, she modified the details of the magic ritual and reorganized several magics into one inherent magic. The only drawback was that she spent too much energy and had no time to make the chanting more handsome.

Recombining multiple high-sequence magic spells into a new magic spell in a short period of time was completely beyond the imagination of the Royal Guards. Their first reaction was to worry that Angelica might be a funny character and would die at the hands of evil spirits.

In fact, even a witch couldn't do it so easily. The new magic formula woven by Angelica was full of loopholes. It would collapse in less than ten seconds due to bugs caused by logical errors, but it was enough to deal with the vengeful spirits.

The holy light covered the entire body of the vengeful spirit, fixing it inside like a prison. Then the spirit's body seemed to be severely corroded and collapsed within just a few seconds.

At the same time, countless bubbles floated out of the vengeful spirit's body.

Each bubble is filled with fragments of memory, the memories of the one hundred spirits that formed the Wraith.

Some of them suffered from terminal diseases and bid farewell to their families with the idea of ​​leaving a fortune for their families.

Some are nearing the end of their lives and hope to use their wealth to benefit their descendants.

Every elf is for their family, and their memories are full of happiness with their family.

The Elf King deceived them and they got nothing.

The vengeful spirit screamed in pain, as if it was not an evil spirit at this moment, but just a poor spirit being tortured. The pain caused by the Holy Light was substantial, and the pain of the spirit was much more painful than that of the body.

"Wait a moment!"

An elf among the guards couldn't help but scream out.

"At least give them a gentle ending!"

The vengeful spirit continued to wail in despair, but was eventually completely engulfed by the white light.

Angelica dusted off her sleeves.

"It's done."

"........."

"As for the reward, all you have to do is allow us to pass through Lateran."

"By the way... did you see... the shadows of their memories just now?"

"Yes, I have."

Angelica responded without hesitation.

She had a blank expression on her face and no emotion in her heart.

The guards finally became convinced that the man before them had no compassion at all.
