Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1062: The Identity of the Lamp God (Two in One)

The "Wishing Magic Lamp" is a "0" level sealed object that is not in the possession of the Orthodox Church, but has a formal number and is at the very front. It is formed by a "Miracle Worker" characteristic, but is ahead of the "1-0" Al-Suhod's Pen of the Audience Sequence 08 characteristic, proving that the "object" stored inside is very dangerous.

A true god once tried to shatter it and restore it to its extraordinary properties, releasing the things stored inside, but failed.

Whoever possesses this magic lamp can have any ten wishes fulfilled, but according to the summary of its many owners, only the first two wishes are safe. Once the third wish is made, it will either be fulfilled in a twisted, evil way, or the person will die in various accidents. There is almost no chance of being truly satisfied.

Before launching the attack on George III's mausoleum, Bernadette informed her allies of the basic details of the Sealed Artifact and prepared to use her second wish to temporarily gain the power of a Sequence 1 Archangel.

But Anne held back the "Founder", and Angel was in charge of the battle in the main mausoleum. She only restrained Prince Grove, who did not have a strong desire to fight. There was no opportunity and no need to consume this wish.

Now she knows that the knowledge in her head has become an absolute taboo. As long as she leaves the protection of the "City of Disaster", she will be watched by the outside gods and polluted. Bernadette has decided to use this wish to seal the memories in her head and wait to become an angel to understand them safely.

Without waiting for Angel and the person in the mirror to respond, she reached out to the servant who had become much older due to the "pale death" and took a golden oil lamp with an ancient shape, like a thin-necked kettle. Its surface was covered with mysterious and complex symbols, and it glowed by itself in the gray fog, reflecting the blurry figures of several people.

"Please wait a moment."

"and many more."

Angel and the person in the mirror spoke at the same time, causing Bernadette, who was holding the lantern in one hand and stroking the golden surface with the other, to freeze and look over in confusion.

But her fingertips had already touched the surface of the "Wishing Lamp", which met the conditions for the seal to be activated.

The wick extending from its slender and twisted mouth ignited an invisible flame, and the tiny light it emitted gushed out like a waterfall, quickly condensing into a vague light golden figure with only the upper body, which was somewhat similar to the servant holding the "Pale Death" next to him.

The eyes on the barely recognizable face of the golden figure first looked at Bernadette who summoned it, then swept over Angel, the person in the mirror, and finally looked around, as if it had its own consciousness and seemed to be waiting for something.

Angel didn't need Bernadette's introduction to guess that this was the "genie" of the "Wishing Lamp", the subject of this sealed object that listened to needs and fulfilled wishes, and the powerful thing contained and sealed in the magic lamp constructed with the characteristics of a "miracle worker".

"Eternal djinn, I have no wishes to fulfill this time."

Bernadette first spoke respectfully to the golden figure in Giant language, then looked at Angel and switched to Loen language, asking curiously:
"Why stop me from making a wish? Do you have any other better way to deal with the influence of the knowledge of the 'Outer Gods'?"

Angel nodded:
"When you said you wanted to use a wish to erase your memory, I did have an alternative plan. Although it is a bit risky, if it succeeds, you can save this precious wish..."

She was about to explain further when the golden figure, who was treated as a "wishing lamp" by several people, suddenly laughed loudly. His voice was deep and deep, as if it came from a giant:
"Haha, just based on that statement of hers, I can twist her mind and make 'no wish' a wish, wasting this opportunity."

Hey, this sealed object actually spoke?

Angel was stunned and looked at the blurry golden figure, as if he saw the shadow of the magic mirror Arrodes in it.

Could this also be a sealed object with living properties?
Bernadette at the side was even more surprised than her, her expression frozen.

Before this, she had actually made her first wish, and had hesitantly summoned the genie in the "Wishing Lamp" many times, but ultimately she did not make up her mind to use the second wish. However, no matter which time, the golden figure just gave a mechanical answer like a machine that received wishes, and had never spoken so "freely".

Even his father, who had made a wish before, and the previous owners of the sealed objects, had never had such an experience!

Thinking of this, her tone became more respectful, and she bowed her head and greeted in Giant language:

"Eternal lamp god, thank you for your generosity and kindness, but I don't have any wishes to fulfill this time, please understand."

The golden figure known as the "Lamp God" didn't care much, and didn't even respond to Bernadette. Instead, he cast his invisible gaze towards Angel, and finally stopped at the person in the mirror. He hummed and said in a magnificent voice:
"I thought the barrier had been broken, and the 'City of Disaster' and other Essence were released, but it seems that is not the case... The Essence here is just an illusion in the mirror, and you have not fully mastered its power... Unfortunately, this will not break the seal and allow me to return to the starry sky."

Seal...Return to the starry sky...Angel's mind moved, and he asked in the not-so-fluent giant language as if to confirm:

"Are you the powerful being that is sealed in this 'Miracle Master' attribute?"

She wanted to use the word "dangerous" to describe it, but she always felt that it was a bit disrespectful to the other party.

"Isn't this obvious?" The golden "Djinn" squinted his eyes, with his distorted arms folded in front of his chest. "If I hadn't magnified the effect of this seal, how could it have realized a wish that was beyond its ability level?"

"Then why don't you make a wish to free yourself from the seal?"

The person in Angel's mirror suddenly asked.

The golden figure swayed slightly, and after a moment of silence, he answered in a lower voice:
"The being that sealed me has a similar status to me, and some of my powers cannot be used within the seal..."

In short, you can't beat that guy... Angel muttered in his heart, realizing that the existence that the "Lamp God" mentioned must be beyond the true God, and it is very likely that it is a certain "Old One", otherwise the true God who tried to smash the "Wishing Lamp" before would have succeeded long ago, and although the "City of Disaster" is not complete, it has surpassed the power of the true body and it is not impossible to lift the seal and set the "Lamp God" free.

Therefore, the "Lamp God" who is at a similar level to the Sealer should also be a certain Old One... In addition, He wants to return to the starry sky, and the "School of Truth" is looking for the whereabouts of this lamp... His identity is almost obvious...

Angel's mind raced, he glanced at the person in the mirror who was also silent, and spoke after careful consideration:

"What kind of power is needed to remove your seal?"

Regardless of the other party's identity, she planned to take this opportunity to ask some questions. If the "Lamp God" was eager to regain his freedom and provided some methods to remove the "Old Days" level seal, it would be even better.

Maybe this will help her deepen her control over the "City of Disaster".

"Unless you can completely master the City of Disaster, you will have the power to destroy this magic lamp. To master this essence, you need to remove its seal first. If you can remove the seal of the essence, you will not be helpless against my seal... because the one who seals both is the same being."

Explaining in difficult words, the "Lamp God" cast his eyes towards the "City of Disaster" shrouded in mist below the people and sighed:
"Another way is to look for the being who has mastered the power of the Chaos Sea. If He knows my condition, He should be willing to help... But don't look for the owner of the Sefirah Castle. He is cunning and shameless, and enjoys deceiving and fooling others... Heh, if you run into Him, He might soon come to the lamp to keep me company."

At this point, the "Lamp God"'s tone became a little agitated, as if he was recalling some unbearable past events. His originally distorted expression made it almost impossible to tell the shape of his facial features. After a moment, he returned to normal and continued:
"Finally, if you who can partially control the 'City of Disaster' can access some of the power of the 'River of Eternal Darkness' that has also leaked out of the seal... perhaps you can have the ability to destroy this lamp without completely mastering the source essence...

"In any case, if you can remove the seal, or help in the process, I will leave with my part of the power, leaving behind the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Miracle Master', and I will be able to fulfill a total of three of your wishes in a normal way that does not distort your will.

"This deal is valid at any time, and will be guaranteed by the power of the 'Source'. Even if I break my promise, I will be severely hit."

After saying this, He seemed to have lost interest in everything. He took one last look around, and his figure suddenly shrank. The light like a sticky stream of water returned to the mouth of the magic lamp, and the wick went out with a puff.

After catching the "Wishing Magic Lamp" that had lost its buoyancy and turned back into an ordinary golden lamp, Bernadette was silent for a moment, handed the sealed object to the servant, and let it leave through the illusory gate. Then she looked at Angel again and asked slowly:
"You seem to have some guesses about His identity?"

Very perceptive... Angel took a deep breath, his mind flashed, making the fog of war formed outside the "City of Disaster" thicker, blocking any possible peeping, and then he spoke:

"I suspect that what is sealed in this magic lamp is one of the 'Outer Gods' outside the barrier, the incarnation and a portion of the power of the 'Son of Chaos', and the 'Uncertain Mist' believed in by the School of Truth."

"Moreover, the one who sealed his existence was the 'Tianzun' who sealed all source substances except the 'Chaos Sea' and the 'Source Castle' at the same time."

The person in her mirror added.

Son of Chaos... Uncertain Mist... Bernadette chewed on these titles that she could only think about in the fog of war, and suddenly realized:
"Is this why the School of Truth wants to retrieve the Wishing Lamp? A part of the power of the Lord they believe in is sealed in it?"

"That's right, and judging from His state, it seems to be a large part of His power... You'd better be careful with this seal and don't give Him the opportunity to distort your wishes." Angel reminded, "Especially in the matter of erasing the memories of the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' and the 'Uncertain Mist'. If you ask Him for help, your wishes will almost certainly be distorted, so that the part of Him outside the barrier can contaminate you and create conditions for Him to escape."

At this point, Angel felt a little scared. If he hadn't dissuaded Bernadette from using "0-05" to fulfill her wish, she would have left the protection of "City of Disaster" and returned to reality, thinking that she had erased her memory, and instantly became a believer of "Uncertain Mist" and "Son of Chaos".

After calming down, she returned to the topic before being interrupted by the "Lamp Spirit" and said in a lighter tone:
"Regarding the contamination of forbidden knowledge, I can ask a 'manipulator' to help erase the information about the Outer Gods and Doomsday from your memory, but you need to completely let go of your consciousness and mind, otherwise it will be difficult for her to influence you, a Sequence 3."

"Will this let her know all this?"

Bernadette asked.

"That's right, so she has to erase her own memory at the same time and bear the corresponding risks in the process. I hope you can compensate her."

Angel nodded and took the opportunity to help Miss Justice, who had not yet arrived, to gain some benefits.

"no problem."

The "Mysterious Queen", whose head was already a little confused after taking in too much knowledge in a short period of time, agreed without hesitation.

----

In the Queens District of Backlund, in Earl Hall's mansion, Audrey, who was enjoying dinner with her parents and elder brother, suddenly felt a chill in her chest. The talisman given by the "Queen" lady that she placed close to her body became cold, as if it was automatically activated. She found an excuse to finish the meal, returned to the bedroom, took out the talisman that was as transparent as ice crystal, but with a purple glittering inside, and found that it was emitting a faint glow, and the seductive purple was flashing like the eyes of the "Queen".

Those are really Miss Queen’s eyes!

Audrey was stunned, and suddenly a passage of words appeared in her mind, which was transmitted directly by the talisman through the "mirror world".

After a moment, she put on a cloak for going out, took off all the magical items on her body that might affect her condition, leaving only the "lie" that changed her appearance. She used a talisman to activate the full-length mirror in the bedroom, stepped into the deep and mysterious world in the mirror, followed the guidance of the talisman's power, passed through the dark and narrow passages, and soon went deep into a hazy fog. The originally gray passage beside her turned red and black, which made her feel a little palpitating.

Fortunately, the talisman in her hand continued to emit a cold touch, like the hand of Miss "Queen" guiding Audrey forward, letting her know that she was not lost.

As the passage went deeper into the fog, three figures floating in the void appeared before her eyes.

One of them was wearing a white shirt decorated with lace and flowers, beige tight pants and black leather boots. Her long chestnut hair was flying in the air. Her blue eyes and straight eyebrows reminded Audrey of the "mysterious queen" on the wanted poster.

The other two people's dresses had slightly different colors and styles, but their hairstyles, faces and even eyes were exactly the same.

Two "Queen" ladies?
Audrey felt a little dizzy as she watched the three people approaching her quickly. She uttered a single sound of surprise and confusion in her throat:

"Ok?"

But as they got closer, Audrey quickly discerned the difference between the two "queens".

The one in the black dress decorated with lace and tassels had a much more stern expression, and the look she gave Audrey was only of inquiry and vigilance; her light-colored dress had traces of fire, and the one who seemed to have just returned from the battlefield looked at her with the same gentle eyes as before, and there was a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.

Of course, if she had not been a "manipulator", she would probably not be able to notice the difference in these micro-expressions and would only be obsessed with the double beauty and charm.

No, it's not an obsession at all, it's just a normal appreciation of beauty... She muttered, quickly calmed her thoughts, looked at the real Queen, tilted her head slightly and asked:

“Who wants psychotherapy?”

----

In the dungeon underground in Azshara's Temple of Knowledge where criminals were held awaiting sentencing, Elaine had already begun to understand the crimes of the other prisoners and the reasons for their arrest.

Without exception, all of these people committed serious crimes such as murder, arson, and explosions. Moreover, they had weak moral values ​​and did not believe that their actions were wrong. Their words were full of contempt for the Church of Knowledge and the Renburg police.

Their only regret was that they should not have come to Azshara and should not have provoked the detectives here, which led to them being quickly arrested and taken to the Temple of Knowledge for trial.

Detectives... I'm afraid most of them are played by Beyonders of Sequence 7 in the "Reader" pathway of the Church of Knowledge. These "Keepers of Knowledge" seem to be always called "detectives". They probably need to be digested with magic potions...

Elaine sat on an iron chair in the middle of the dungeon, looking down at the criminals around her, feeling their gazes that looked at her and Tia from time to time and then quickly looked away, still feeling somewhat confused.

Can Miss Angelica really complete her mission by working with these criminals who should have been executed long ago in other countries?
Her doubts did not last long. The dungeon door was opened from the outside, and several clergymen in white robes walked in, surrounding an old man.

As soon as Elaine looked over there, her expression changed.

The old man was the saint of the church who had caught him before and revealed the knowledge of the "sin of exile" in advance.

His grey-green eyes swept over every prisoner, not lingering on Elaine and the other two, and then he said in a deep voice:

"The verdict has come out."

This sentence caused almost all the prisoners to riot. After all, in any country, there is only one result for being responsible for multiple murders.

But under handcuffs and shackles and the watchful eyes of other clergymen, they finally lined up obediently and walked out of the cell, followed the old man through the long corridor, continued down the stone stairs, and kept moving forward in the increasingly humid environment, finally stopping in front of a pair of brass doors.

"Are you going to lock us up and cremate us? Haha, what a waste of fuel. Do you need my help to light the fire?"

A sharp and piercing voice came from the team. Elaine knew without turning her head that it was the only female prisoner besides her and Tia.

This young woman named Iris had never killed anyone, but she set fire to several libraries in Renburg, causing a large number of books to be burned. She was eventually captured when Azshara was preparing to burn down the Temple of Knowledge. In other countries, she might have been spared severe punishment, but in Renburg, a country that values ​​knowledge, she could only sit at the same table with the murderer.

Although the other party didn't say it, Elaine knew very well that this was an "arsonist."

"Unfortunately, there is no incinerator behind this door, and you will not be sentenced to death," the saint said in a calm tone without being provoked. "The result of the trial for all of you is 'lifelong exile', and the destination is behind this door."

"Exile? Not the death penalty..."

Another prisoner muttered something in a low voice, then quickly shut up as if afraid of being heard, unable to believe how lucky he was.

But Elaine felt that the stone in her heart had finally fallen to the ground.

It is indeed exile. Could this door lead to the mysterious "City of Exile" Morola?

She looked around, moving her lips, wanting to secretly recite Miss Angelica's honorific name, but gave up the idea under the gaze of the saint and asked loudly:
"What's behind the door? An underground area with no food or water? A fighting arena where we kill each other? If that's the case, we might as well be sentenced to death."

Her questioning resonated with the other prisoners, and voices of doubt were heard everywhere. The eyes that looked at her also had a little respect, instead of the vigilance that had been suppressed just now.

This was exactly the effect she wanted.

"Behind the door is a passage leading to the Land of Exile. I don't know what's there, but many exiles have survived there for a long time. It's not a Jedi without hope of survival."

The old man explained with a smile, his eyes lingering on Elaine for a moment, his gray-green eyes replaced by shining rune lights.

The prisoners surrounded by the clergy were suddenly covered by a drizzle that was confined to a small area.

These raindrops with a hint of black impurities fell on Elaine, which immediately made her spiritually alert, but it was not a strong warning that her life was threatened.

She also noticed that Tia, William, the "arsonist" and two other prisoners had serious expressions, while the other prisoners were shouting and screaming, confused by the sudden rain on their heads and subconsciously feeling panic.

"This is 'Harps's Sterilization Rain'. It will not harm your body, but will only make you lose your fertility... This is a means to prevent innocent babies from being born in the Exiled Land." Glancing at Elaine again, the old man who cast the Sterilization Rain through simulation ability added, "Of course, this is reversible."

You don't have to remind me deliberately, it will make me look like a relative... Elaine muttered, and found that the prisoners did not resist as she had imagined after a brief commotion.

On the contrary, after the old man pushed open the brass door in the air, revealing the long tunnel behind, they all felt attracted to it and walked into the passage involuntarily. Their figures immediately disappeared in the dim tunnel. Even Tia and William took a step and followed the team in a trance.

Although Elaine also felt the strange attraction deep in the tunnel, she did not enter immediately. Instead, she looked at the old man who had accompanied her "from beginning to end."

The latter nodded calmly with deep eyes.

I always feel that everything is arranged clearly... She sighed in her heart again, took a step forward, followed the end of the team, and slowly walked into the tunnel.

At the same time, a subtle and almost inaudible voice was heard:

"The scarlet and hidden shadow..."

----

"Starry sky... Outer Gods... Is this the truth of the end of the world?"

Floating in the mist, Audrey's expression gradually became dull after listening to the secret knowledge narrated by Angel, as if she had been watched and polluted by the outer gods.

She recalled how she had been transported to the southern continent a few months ago at the request of Mr. World with the help of Creeping Hunger and had saved a saint from the Church of Knowledge who was on the verge of losing control. She was shocked when she heard the old man with gray-green eyes and white hair and beard talk about the "Doomsday Prophecy".

And now, the sword that had been hanging over her head finally fell and pierced the girl's fragile heart.
