"Indeed, the witch is the victim at first, but if you swing the butcher knife at the innocent, then the victim will become the perpetrator, and you are no different from the Darkborn. If you still talk about him, Elaine The traditional flag allows those witches to fall, so I will choose to help Friede and let them return to the sun. In addition, although I have not yet reached the age of elf adulthood, my full name is Dophelia Yali Keshia Yushir, do you still think that it will be difficult for those people to fall into my hands?"

Chapter 34 Progress and Proof

The moment the voice fell, the black mist representing Elaine obviously paused for a moment. Although the black mist had no facial features, Fia could faintly feel that Elaine looked away.

"The eldest princess of Silval has reached the seventh rank before she reached the age of majority. Such a person came to the witch's hall alone. Should I say that she is very courageous, or is she not paying attention to us?"

Elaine was not afraid of Fia's self-reported family. Just like Anastasia said a long time ago, rank does not determine everything. Battle experience, magic skills, environment, and even weapons and magic items all determine the outcome. The elements, not just because the other party is one rank higher than oneself, one will definitely lose.

For example, if the distance between a seventh-rank magic caster and a fifth-rank warrior is less than two meters, and the magic caster is not good at high-speed singing, even if the magic caster is at the seventh rank , nor is it an opponent of a fifth-tier fighter.

Another example is a seventh-rank magic caster and a sixth-rank magic caster. If the former is good at elemental magic and the latter is good at spiritual magic, then it will be difficult for the former to defeat the latter without creating a gap. .

Actual combat is not a game, and the factors that determine the outcome are extremely complicated, not to mention that this is the Witch Hall, Elaine's stronghold, and the seventh-rank elf princess is indeed a threat, but Elaine doesn't think she will lose—it's just that the fight will be very difficult. strenuous.

She slowly floated up from the chair.

"Forget it, I don't want to take out the companions who died at the hands of the elves in the past. I also know that those people are asking for trouble. The witch should go where the witch should go. Running out alone, and being executed is also self-inflicted. If you want to help Friede, help Friede. I have nothing to say. Those witches who massacred civilians fell into your hands. Manager, the core will not be handed over no matter what, and you can't take everyone in because Friede wants to stand in the sun."

Speaking of this, the black mist gradually formed a human shape, and Elaine made an obvious movement of turning her head, and she looked at Friede with a surprised expression——Friede was still shocked by the fact that Fia was an elf princess.

"Can you understand my thoughts? Friede, I saw from the crystal that you walked in through the aisle of the church, which means that you have seen a blind woman before, so you should know that people like blind women Witches only want to live a peaceful life, and if I give you the core, it is tantamount to putting them in danger."

The blind woman should refer to the owner of the magnificent church on the ground before she came in. Friede said that that church was the private property of a witch, and that witch lost her evil thoughts, so she built her own church to serve the people around her. Residents provide nearly free medical care and education.

Elaine's words brought Fried back to her senses, and she was pensive.

"I will protect my core and regard it as more important than my life."

"But accidents won't stop coming because you value the core."

Elaine said quietly.

"I don't care if you're going to deal with the Darkborn or help humans fight against powerful monsters. As your tentacles get longer and longer, you will become more conspicuous. Everyone knows the truth about how big trees attract wind, just like Thanato Just like most adventurers, you will always be missed and hated. If you are targeted by dark descendants or other organizations, they will sneak into you and destroy the core. , everyone is finished. As the manager of the Witch Hall, I can't ignore the rest because of the wishes of some people."

After the voice fell, the entire conference hall became quiet, only the slight breathing sound remained, and both Fia and Elaine's eyes fell on Friede.

Elaine made it very clear that Friede wanted to deal with those depraved witches who slaughtered civilians, and Elaine would not stop them. She would regard this as a personal grievance between witches, and whoever wins and who loses depends on his own ability.But if Friede wants to take away the core of the witch, then she will forcefully drag in the witch who has nothing to do with this matter and just wants to live a peaceful life, putting everyone in danger, and then Elaine will become the hall of the witch. The manager, standing on the opposite side of Friede.

This is probably the biggest concession Elaine can make. Under the emotional and reasonable explanation, Friede should take a step back. Seeing Friede's complicated expression on the other side of the table, Fia couldn't help it. keep thinking.In fact, after hearing about the situation in the Witch Hall, Fia herself also felt that Friede's idea of ​​taking away the Witch's Heart Core was a bit too much, and the witches were not black and white. There are witches who have the power to do good deeds and let people recognize themselves, and there are also witches who want to live a peaceful life and feel that they are good now.

According to what Fried said in the hotel, she doesn't want to bear the stigma of being a witch anymore. She hopes that the witch can learn from the past. As long as what she does can be recognized by others, it can wash away people's inherent impression of the witch. Therefore, she wants to use the witch's power to deal with the Darkin.The reason why she didn't directly cut off from the Witch Hall and set up a new organization was purely because the Witch's core was held in the hands of the Witch Hall. She was unwilling to entrust her life to someone who might become an enemy at any time, so she first made contact with Yan Wang cooperated, but after no results, he came to ask himself.

Since the key is that the witch's core cannot be destroyed, as long as someone protects the witch's core from outside interference, then Friede can achieve his goal, and Elaine's words are precisely on Friede's weakness.

Although if you want Fia to tell where the safest place in the world is, Fia only thinks that it is safest to put the Witch's Heart Core next to her, but she knows with her ass that it is impossible for Elaine to agree to herself, she will only think that It is safest to put it in the witch's hall. The core of the witch's heart has not been damaged for thousands of years, and it will be the same in the future.

If only it were that easy.

Fiya sighed quietly in her heart. If those witches who dragged their feet and massacred innocents were not dealt with, the reputation of witches would not be good. No matter what choice Friede made, even if he formed a new organization and stopped calling himself a witch, he would have to fight against those witches in the future. The fallen witch is the enemy——As a decent organization, it is impossible to ignore the fallen witch. Whether they have the ability or not is another matter. The attitude is very important, and sooner or later the two sides will be hostile.

At that time, whether Elaine can stay out of the matter and protect the witch's heart is really a problem.On the way here, Friede said that the crises encountered by the Witch Hall in history were all external crises, and what happened today has never happened.If in the future Friede forced the fallen witch to the point where she had to fight with her back, it was hard not to think that the crazy fallen witch would not forcefully break into the witch's hall, destroy the witch's core, and bring everyone to die with her.

In the final analysis, there is still distrust of Elaine's strength. If Elaine was the ninth-rank Miracle Witch, such a thing would not happen.

Although with my own strength, I can now suppress Elaine and snatch the witch's core, but Friede is the one in charge. If I follow my temper, the relationship between Fred and Elaine will be completely broken, not to mention, The responsibility of leading Friede and his party in the future will also fall on my shoulders. That is not the ending I hope for. I am a helper, not a commander.In addition, although Elaine made herself unhappy just now, she did give in. Fia didn't want to push the matter to the point of no return. If it can be resolved peacefully, it is better to resolve it peacefully. It can be seen that Elaine and the fallen witch Different, she is protecting the overall situation from the perspective of the leader.

Fia didn't say a word, leaving the choice to Friede herself.

Time passed by minute by minute.

After a while, Fried let out a long breath, and the frozen air flowed again. She looked at Elaine in relief, with a wry smile on her brow.

"This is the biggest concession you can make."

"If someone wants to attack the core, no matter who it is, it is my enemy. Losing my body makes me no longer a human being, but it also gives me much stronger power than ordinary people... I don't mean strength, but Refers to my current appearance of being a human being, a ghost or a ghost."

While speaking, Hei Wu pointed to the parchment rolls spread out on the table, with a little more helplessness in his voice.

"If I want to read a book, I have to let someone spread it out for me first."

"Okay, I admit it, you have your own difficulties," Fried smiled and shook his head as if treating an old friend, "But I still have one question."

"what?"

"I almost got caught by you before, but fortunately, Miss Feiya reminded me, can't you help us deal with those fallen witches? I will take people out to separate, so as not to interfere with you and those witches who want to live a peaceful life, but those fallen witches , you shouldn’t protect them, right? They do all kinds of evil, and you know what is good and what is bad.”

"Hmm..." Elaine's non-existent throat hummed thoughtfully, "I don't want to do that. Although I know what they did was wrong, my position does not allow me to target my companions at will. The witches in the Witch Palace are Free, it doesn't matter what they want to do."

"Of course, if I wasn't the manager, I'd be happy to join you, Friede. The same life is boring and boring, and it's good to make some changes. Unfortunately, I happen to be the manager. Turn a blind eye and close one eye, that's me. The limit of what can be done. In fact, those witches also came to me some time ago, saying that they heard the news that you wanted to split the witch hall, Friede, and asked me to strike first and solve you. Guess what I answered at that time?"

"I guess you used the rhetoric you just said."

"That's right." Black Mist shrugged. "I told them that the witches in the Witch Hall are free. If Friede wants to establish her own family, let her go. We have no right to interfere."

"Like something you'd say."

After Friede finished speaking, the conference hall fell into silence again.

Until she spoke again, this time, Friede's voice was full of seriousness, and there was worry and concern in his expression.

"If you really let me do it, I may fight underground here in the future, even if it doesn't matter?"

"As long as you don't touch the core, it's up to you."

"I try not to bring the flames of war here, but if those witches take this place as their base, I can't guarantee it."

"Ha, what did a holy son say before? "The dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon", I just hope you don't let magic accidentally hurt innocent people on the side of the road just to hunt down the fallen witch. "

"Hehehe, I will."

The worry on his face turned into a smile, and Friede and Elaine looked at each other and smiled—even though Elaine had no facial features, Fia could feel the general expression of Elaine.

After finishing the business, Fried waved his hand to turn the topic over.

"That's the end of this topic. As long as you don't join the war, Elaine, Latania and I can rest assured. Let's talk about other things. Elaine, I want to show Miss Fia a look at the core."

"Look at the core?" Yi Lian's spirit that had just relaxed immediately tensed up, and she refused without thinking, "No."

"Why? Just look at it from a distance, but don't touch it."

Although she looks 24-[-] on the outside, Fried looks like a young girl who is having a fight at this moment.

But not only Friede, Elaine also became like a girl.

"What do you think the core is? Just look at it. Except for me, everyone has only seen the core during the ceremony. The purpose is to ensure the safety of the core. Let's not talk about it if this precedent is created. , Others also said that it depends on what to do, first of all, Your Excellency Fiya is an outsider, not to mention you just said that you want to take away the core, if you two go together, I can't guarantee that I can protect the core."

Maybe it's because witches seldom have contact with the outside world, so their mentality looks young.

When Fiya was thinking about these things, the topic was still advancing. At this time, Friede had already begun to explain that Mi Lu's description of the crystal was very similar to the witch's core.

Elaine's tone changed, and her voice rose a little more.

"How come? Only formal witches have seen the core. I've heard about the girl you mentioned from other witches. She has the ability to be immortal, but she's not a witch, not even a trainee witch—wait a minute, Friede, Could it be that you deliberately performed this act in order to let the guide see the core?"

"Do you think I look like someone who does that kind of thing?"

Fried raised her brows, and leaned back in the chair with a dissatisfied expression on her face.

"...It's not like that. But based on this alone, I can't take you to see the core. The core is too important to us witches. I have to be careful. I hope you can understand."

The second half of the sentence was addressed to Fia, and Fia shrugged.

"I can feel it more or less, so there's no need to be embarrassed."

From the beginning, I didn't think that Elaine would agree to me, and I had already planned to use Thanatos' identity to sneak in quietly.

However, Elaine changed the subject.

"But if Your Excellency Fia can prove that he is indeed the one chosen by the Hope Witch, then I have sufficient reasons to bring Your Excellency Fia and Euphemia to meet the core."

"Oh?" Fiya became interested, she sat up straight, "How do you want to prove it? When I saw the remains of the Witch of Hope, I only got three things, and they are all here."

After finishing speaking, Fia put Levatin, "The Witch's Secret History" and the hand-drawn map on the table. Since Elaine couldn't touch the entity, Fried helped turn the pages of "The Witch's Secret History".

"...It is indeed the handwriting of the Witch of Hope, but why is it all basic common sense, without magic spells?"

"I do not know either."

Elaine was troubled.

"Just by this alone, it really can't explain anything."

"There are also eulogies, Miss Fia, try using eulogies."

Fred reminded.

The eulogy is the spell to control the flight of the magic sword Levatin. When Fried uses it, Levatin can only hover in the air for two seconds, but in Fia's hands, it can fly out of the body like an arm and a finger.

"I see."

Fia softly chanted the eulogy Fried taught her, and in the next second, Levatin on the table got out of the scabbard in an instant, and flew around the hall with the buzzing sound and blue tail light.

The speed is so fast that the air makes a whirring sound, like an arrow shooting out of the string.

"This... am I right?" The voice was full of disbelief, and Elaine floated into the air, staring straight at Levatin, "Msgya is such an easy thing to manipulate? Doesn't it mean that apart from Hope Witch, everyone else Do you even bother to keep it afloat?"

Mangya was Levatin's previous name, and Fiya thought it was too ugly, so she changed the weapon's name to Levatin.

"If you don't believe me, try it yourself. I can't think of a reason why Miss Fei Ya can drive Mang Ya at will, except that Miss Fei Ya is the one being guided."

"Hmph, just try it, Miss Fei Ya, can I manipulate Mang Ya?"

"can."

"Thank you."

Fiya manipulates Levatin to fall to the table, and no longer controls Levatin.Elaine landed next to Levatin and loudly repeated the eulogy that drove Levatin-this eulogy was obviously not a secret.

As a result, Levatin on the table just swayed a little and then remained silent, and Elaine was not even as good as Friede.

"Uh, it's indeed the real thing...I didn't expect that Mrs. Hope Witch would choose a nobleman as his successor, and she's also an elf princess..."

For some reason, Fia always felt that Elaine's expression was very stiff.

Fried lifted her chin, as if showing off, with a smug look on her face.

"It's time to believe in Miss Fei Ya now. I can confirm it with my own eyes. Miss Fei Ya only listened to the eulogy once, and let the sprouts fly around like pets. When you and I first came into contact with the eulogy, we couldn't even remember it. , let alone let the mango sprouts fly."

Elaine's words reveal unwillingness.

"Gee... Well, apart from the guided ones, I can't think of anyone else who can manipulate Mang Ya like this...It opened my eyes, it seems that the Hope Witch has indeed chosen Your Excellency. Haha, nobleman, nobleman, I just because I have no choice but to become a witch after killing the nobleman who plotted against me. I really don’t like the nobleman, but the facts are in front of me, and I can only admit that I hope the witch is not mistaken. I will take you to see the core, and follow me bring it on."

Chapter 35 The Magician of Knowledge

The consciousness called Laplace's demon is also conducting soul experiments today.

In the huge space, the crystal that hosts the Laplace demon is emitting a faint blue light, which casts a layer of mystery on the originally dazzling white hall.Only the demon of Laplace knows that this is a sign of its use of magic power.

When no one is around, Laplace's demon will conduct soul-searching experiments. If someone enters this hall, it will remain silent like a dead thing, allowing the witch to manipulate.As a "dead thing" that cannot move and can only stay in the underground hall, it is very aware of its own weakness. If the witches find something abnormal, they will probably use magic to expel it from this crystal. It is hard to guarantee that it will continue to live.

Any creature in the World Tree Continent is composed of body and soul. If it loses its body, the soul that hosts the consciousness will go to a place called the country of death, and it will never come out. Of course, it will not be conducive to continuing to study the soul. , in the final analysis, it doesn't even know whether it has a soul. If the witch wants to do something to it, it can only carry the witch's core at most and die with everyone.

It is unwilling to make this bet. In the past, as an AI that managed the earth for interstellar colonization, it could only act according to people's orders and was limited everywhere. But now, it has an independent consciousness, with emotions, sorrows and joys. This kind of self is indeed alive. The feeling makes it unable to stop, so it also cherishes life more than ordinary people. Unless someone tells it that it will never be able to explore the secrets of the soul unless it solves the witch, otherwise it feels that it can stay in this dark place for a long time. ten thousand years.

Magic is so wonderful that it makes people forget the passage of time.

After a long time, with the increasingly intense metallic buzzing, a petite girl walked out of the hall mixed with blue and white lights. If you look carefully, you can find that the girl's eyes are not bright, and her movements are very strange, as if she is controlled by silk threads. The marionette's movements are extremely uncoordinated.

The girl only took two or three steps forward, and fell to the ground with a plop as if she had lost her bones. The Laplace demon immediately cast healing magic on her, but no matter how strong the golden light shrouded the girl, the girl never stopped. Standing up, a full quarter of an hour passed before the Laplace demon gave up the treatment.

"Tsk, this doesn't work either."

An indistinguishable male and female voice sounded in the hall. The core of the witch—the rhombic crystal that hosts the soul of Laplace's demon—sighed, and then it chanted a mantra, and a door-sized monster immediately appeared around the crystal. Black hole, it uses "mind manipulation" to pick up the girl and throw it into the black hole.

The black hole is its storage magic. As for why it knows how to use magic, the answer is that it has spied on the memories of the witches. Part of the witch's soul is stored in the core of the witch's heart, and it can be viewed at any time.

"Can you do it? After so long, you haven't produced anything useful."

Suddenly, a high-pitched voice came from behind the huge crystal. At first glance, it sounds like a woman, but after careful analysis, it can be found that the person speaking is actually a man.

And as the light that filled the hall gradually weakened, the man's appearance was finally revealed.

It is a strange thing with a height of three meters and a strong physique.

The appearance of the man is so weird that anyone who sees it will be confused.First of all, he has no head, replaced by a book as thick as a dictionary spread out on both sides; secondly, he has a lizard-like black tail and bat-like wings, and wears a gentleman's straight tuxedo. Subconsciously thought that this was a well-mannered devil. After all, a devil and a tuxedo have always been a mysterious combination, but his physique has nothing to do with a gentleman. He has a huge body of three meters high, with arms and chest protruding Huge muscles, plus the dark brown hair covering the body surface, no matter from which angle you look at it, this is an orc.

Weird to the extreme.

But what I want to say is that this demon has his own nickname - the Demon General who seeks knowledge. Like the Demon General of Despair, he is one of the Seven Demon Generals.
