Becoming a God by Raising a Witch

This is the result of her painful experience.

oh? Did you originally want to be a rebel?

Locke looked at the exhausted Rebecca and thought that she was crazy enough in the world of pipe smoking.

"What reconciliation? Our relationship has always been very good, haven't we? Aren't you my most loyal servant?"

Locke asked.

"Of course, I am your most loyal servant."

'Damn Locke Belmont, are you pretending to be confused? ’

"Just great master, what can I do to make you happy?"

Rebecca asked in a different tone.

Locke looked at her, "Do you want to please me because you gave birth to a second child? You really don't need to thank me. If you want, I can let you have a third or fourth child. By the way, you give me Have the children been named yet?”

When Rebecca heard Locke's words, her blood pressure instantly soared, and black smoke began to appear in her head.

Out of control, she hid in the pipe again and said she would never come out again.

"Locke! Just wait for me, I will never listen to your orders again! You have lost your most loyal partner!"

"hehe."

Locke sneered twice, and his ears finally became quiet.

He can sleep peacefully.

In the middle of the night, it started to rain lightly in Kosolk.

Queens District.

The rain is like a fine needle, weaving a hazy picture for no reason.

Katerina Castle stands in the rain, and its gray stone walls look even more gloomy under the rain.

The raindrops fell on the ancient tile eaves, making a dull ticking sound, like the hourglass of time, flowing slowly in silence.

The spiers of the castle were looming in the rain, like an arrow tower guarding the clouds.

The Kosol River at the edge of the castle shone dimly in the rain, and occasionally waterbirds skimmed the water, causing ripples.

This 500-year-old castle was renamed Katerina Castle by the previous king 15 years ago because the king liked his eldest daughter Katerina very much and recognized her as the next queen.

In the garden, the drizzle caressed the flowers, making the originally colorful flowers stained with a light mist. On the path among the flowers, the stone slabs became slippery due to rain, and moss grew wantonly among the cracks in the stones, like traces of time.

Deep in the castle, the lights are brightly lit.

The gauze curtains hanging on the windows look even softer and mysterious under the reflection of the rain.

Her Majesty's maid, Maura Macmillan, was carrying a lantern, walking through the long corridor and entering Katerina's bedroom deep in the castle.

The bedroom is gorgeous and retro, with white marble from floor to ceiling, making the entire space feel extra bright and luxurious.

In the center of the room is a huge emerald green bed, with an agate-colored curtain embroidered with the Queen's family crest hanging from the top.

There are two gorgeous cabinets placed next to the bed, carved with exquisite patterns. Many jewelry and beautiful long dresses are placed in the cabinets.

Adjacent to the bed is a large and elaborate wall paneled with an ornate mirror, embellished with gold frames and jewels. On the side of the mirror, there is an exquisite dressing table with a set of silver makeup tools, beautiful jewelry and many useful jars and bottles.

In the corner of the room hangs a portrait of Her Majesty the Queen. The queen in the painting is wearing gorgeous jewelry and a noble dress. Her eyes reveal confidence and determination. On the opposite wall hangs a large map with domestic and foreign territories marked on it, reminding the Queen of the planning and occupation of the land.

The only window in the whole room is hung next to the bed, and the curtains are rose red. Looking out from the window, you can see the vast grassland and the twinkling river.

On the windowsill, there are several pots of green plants, adding a sense of vitality and freshness.

Katerina stood by the window sill, watching the rain quietly through the green plants.

The hazy drizzle gradually turned into a drifting heavy rain, and there was no expression on her beautiful face until the maid Maura MacMillan entered the room.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty Rhaenys would like to see you alone to report on the Bureau's recent discoveries."

Maura MacMillan said.

"Tell her that she can just write it in a document and give it to you. I don't have time to see her recently."

Katerina said.

"She said it was about the Knowledge Sect."

Maura McMillan continued.

Katerina turned back and glanced at Maura MacMillan, "Knowledge Sect? What do those crazy people want to do? Let her come to see me tomorrow."

"Okay, follow your will."

Maura MacMillan replied.

Later, three knights, the witch Julie Townsend, Bronya Peters, and Sharona Bergman, also appeared in Katerina's bedroom.

Katerina turned around, Maura MacMillan put a mink cloak on her, and she led several people out of the bedroom.

A group of four people walked through the corridor of the castle and walked along the spiral escalator to the secret floor at the bottom of the castle.

The light became dimmer and dimmer until we reached the depths of the ground where we couldn't even see our fingers.

Maura MacMillan lit the sconce on the wall.

A row of wall lamps engraved with alchemical runes illuminate the underground world like daylight.

This was originally the dungeon of the castle, but after renovation, it became the Queen's secret laboratory.

There are countless rooms in the laboratory, where many girls with noble ancestry are imprisoned. However, in Kosolk, there are very few missing cases of noble girls reported. That is because someone has already taken their place and lived on their behalf.

And those who live in their place are the orphans raised by Katerina.

All they need to do is change their appearance, and they can live the lives of noble ladies.

And why the noble girl was chosen as the experimental subject was entirely because their bloodline was closer to her own, so that when she devoured the witch's heart, her repulsion would be greatly reduced.

"Katerina Tumen, you must die a happy death!"

"Katerina, please, let me go. I don't want to die. I don't want to die."

"Katerina Tumen, I curse you! I curse you and you will never get what you want."

Just as Katerina passed by the cell, the unkempt aristocratic girls either uttered vicious curses and curses, or knelt down to beg for mercy, but she was completely unmoved until a familiar voice suddenly sounded.

"Sister, please let me go. I am your only sister."

Wearing a gorgeous dress and looking very similar to Katerina, Princess Frieda with long silver hair looked at Katerina imploringly.

She thought she was careful enough, but she was still discovered by Katerina.

"Frieda, if you didn't collude with the old nobles and try to use the out-of-control witch to assassinate me, I would never take action against you. After all, you are my only sister."

Katerina looked at Frieda with disappointment.

"Sister, you have gone completely crazy. You have kidnapped so many nobles and created a large number of witches. Do you want the entire Tumen to fall into eternal doom?"

"Irreversible? Have you made a mistake? If you control the power of the witch and become a weapon of the country, how can it be possible that it will be irreversible? Tumen will become an empire under my rule and unify the entire southern continent."

Katerina's eyes flashed with excitement. This was her ambition. She wanted to carve her name into the history of Tumen and become the greatest queen. She also wanted to live forever and rule the empire.

Other than that, everything else can be ignored.

"So you use public opinion, create various traps, and incite war? Tumen has already experienced a war 10 years ago. Even the once prosperous imperial capital was split into two, and so many poor people appeared. After another war, The people simply cannot bear this war.”

Frieda grasped the iron door tightly with both hands and frowned slightly.

"War will redistribute resources. Those who cannot bear it will eventually become the cornerstone of Tumen's greater prosperity. I will remember their contributions to Tumen."

Katerina said with firm eyes.

"Have you forgotten your former ideal? Let everyone in Tumen feel happy and bathe in the holy light of the goddess of life. There will no longer be beggars and homeless people, and everyone can eat bread and milk."

Frieda questioned.

"I have not forgotten that for any ideal to be realized, a price must be paid."

"No, that's just your personal ambition. You betrayed the Goddess of Life. You supported the Alchemy Church to rise to power. Those Alchemy Sects and Knowledge Sects are of the same origin. They are all madmen. They bewitched you, they influenced you and made you crazy. , please, don’t be stubborn anymore, wake up, my sister, Katerina Tumen!”

Frieda cried and said that she was a devout believer in the Life Religion. In her eyes, Katerina had become a heretic and betrayed the Life Religion's strict prohibition on refining life.

If the church knew about it, it would definitely break with Queen Katerina.

However, what she didn't know was that the senior leaders of the Life Church had actually known what Katerina was doing secretly for a long time.

They turned a blind eye because they also longed for war.

"Innocent and simple Frieda, do you really think that His Majesty the Pope will not know? Do you really think that I can do these things from the elders of the demigod Life Sect? They have known it for a long time, and they are even still there Help me secretly."

Katerina looked at the clueless Frieda jokingly. She had been chasing after her since she was a child, but she always lost in wisdom.

"How is it possible? How could the Life Sect allow you to secretly refine the witch? Absolutely impossible!"

Frieda couldn't understand it at all, and even felt that her outlook on life had been impacted.

Katerina quietly watched Frieda struggle with her thoughts. Finally, she raised her head again and looked at herself in despair.

"Why exactly? Why did the church betray the goddess?"

"Because they also long for this war."

"War? But war will take away countless lives. War is a disaster, and it is what the goddess least wants to see."

Frieda still couldn't understand.

"That's because you don't understand what the goddess of life really represents."

Katerina didn't mind explaining a little more to her stupid sister, because she was destined not to leave the dungeon and see the blue sky and white clouds of Kosolk.

"Pena, the earth goddess, the mother of all living beings, the most respected and prominent god among all gods, was born from the cracks and was also the first super-primitive god. Her appearance marked the beginning of the transformation from chaos to order, and also marked the beginning of the transformation from chaos to order. Everything begins to come into being.

The "Book of Life" describes her as follows: "Conflict and chaos come from Pena, the mother of all gods. It is this great mother goddess who gave birth to all the gods of the bright universe." In her body, we see both creation and destruction, both order and chaos. In general, darkness and chaos are her essence.'

War is synonymous with darkness and chaos. The goddess of life longs for war not only because it can bring chaos and darkness, but also because lives can be sacrificed during war and order can be rebuilt after war. This is nourishment for the goddess. .

The goddess has not responded to her believers for too long. The pope and elders are anxious. They urgently need a war to please the goddess.

They are afraid that the goddess is no longer there, and just like in the prophecy, the gods will die and the world will usher in the end. "

All the doubts in Frieda's mind were answered, which made her unable to free herself from the shock for a long time. Her whole body was stagnant in place. This was the collapse of faith and helpless despair.

"Now do you know why the Life Sect won't stop me?"

Katerina said calmly, and then left Frida's cell with the four witches who followed her.

She walked into the laboratory. There were rows of giant test tubes in the laboratory. The bodies of young girls were soaked in the test tubes. Their bodies were covered with catheters, and their eyes were lifeless, like soulless bodies.

"The experiment has progressed to the second stage. Your Majesty, the second batch of witches will be produced soon."

An old man wearing an alchemical white robe walked up. He was Igor West, a scholar of the Alchemy Sect and the main person in charge of the experiment.

Under the hood of the white robe, there is a pair of extremely cloudy eyes filled with fanatical emotions. His grooved face and brown age spots show that he is no longer young. He has lived for 146 years, but he is still full of enthusiasm for alchemy. .

His status in the Alchemy Sect is second only to the Pope, and he is also known as the greatest dark scholar, because the subjects he studies always require life.

Katerina nodded slightly to the old man and asked,

"What's the probability of losing control?"

"The probability of loss of control has increased to 60%."

"Can we go to war?"

"Of course, they are your sharpest weapons. Once they die on the battlefield, you can recover the witch's heart in them."

Igor West said with a smile. His smile was like a seductress from hell, which made people feel creepy.

Katerina doesn't like such a smile, but she likes his research. She will create an invincible witch team to clear all obstacles for the Tumen Empire.

"Has the restoration of the Forest Witch's power been completed?"

Katerina asked.

"Sorry, this may still take time. After all, you didn't bring her Witch Stone back. That is the only power."

Igor West lowered his head and said.

Katerina looked back at the three female knights, who were all kneeling on the ground.

"It was our mistake. The Witch's Heart should no longer be in Kosolk, but no matter where it was taken, we will find it back."

"No need, it's not an indispensable force. Instead of spending time searching the world, it's better to concentrate on what's happening now."
