Infinite Anecdotes

Once these words were uttered, the atmosphere in the room froze in an instant.

Especially Beatrice, biting her lips with a distressed expression, she looked like she didn't know how to explain it. She deliberately showed intimacy with Tang Cheng in front of her mother to let him know their relationship, but she was still rejected. Misunderstood.Of course, Roswaal knew that the relationship between Beatrice and Tang Cheng was definitely not as simple as a contractor and an elf. He changed the subject very generously this time, probably because he was afraid that Tang Cheng would have a conflict with the words of his father and mother. What a strange association.

However, these are digressions to the active atmosphere, and Tang Cheng himself doesn't mind much. Apart from looking at the lady a few more times, he quickly turned to the main topic: "I once entered the Dream City, where I met A lust witch Echidna who is completely different from you, if you are a lust witch, then who is she?"

Regarding this question, the lady did not seem unprepared, but instead showed a warm smile full of memories: "It seems that you have already met Donna."

She paused for a moment, seeming to organize the language that could be explained, and then said: "Let's put it this way, she is Echidna, the Witch of Lust, and I am Echidna, the Witch of Lust."

"That is to say, there are two lust witches, or are you two forms of one person?" Tang Cheng quickly thought of the example of the gluttonous bishop, and understood the situation. I don't think it's strange anymore, but looking at Roswaal and Betty, they seem a bit unable to turn the corner.

"It's just a coincidence that the names are similar, and we're not sisters, mother and daughter, but, yes, the relationship between me and her is like one face, one face, Donna, because of her past, she doesn't trust humans very much, Unable to express his feelings to others frankly, and unable to accept the kindness of others, he is a somewhat introverted and awkward child."

Although I feel that the personality of Echidna that Tang Cheng met is somewhat different, but after 400 years, no matter what, there will be some changes, and in the end, Tang Cheng only met her once, so it is hard to say that he has no influence on her. As far as I know, at least I don't know her better than the person in front of me.

"Of course, although Donna sometimes likes to play some pranks, she still has a good heart. She helped me a lot when I was suffering." The lady recalled, and then turned her eyes to Roswaal and Betty: "Maybe you don't remember much, but Donna is always there when we talk about it."

Roswaal and Beatrice looked at each other in blank dismay. They searched their brains but couldn't think of anyone who matched Tang Cheng's description.

The lady blinked playfully, showing her mature charm: "It's no wonder you can't remember, because Donna appeared in front of you with various artificial elves made by her. In fact, Betty, Although I was the one who stayed with you all the time, the one who made you and Parker was Donna. She is also your half mother."

"Mom..." Beatrice said, blinking her eyes, as if she wanted to ask a question about another Echidna, but was preempted by Tang Cheng who was holding her.

"As you can see, now Echidna has disappeared after leaving the Sanctuary. If we want to find her, what can we do?"

"It's hard to find her, but it's easy to say."

"What do you mean?"

"From a long time ago, Donna likes to observe the world through the artificial elves she created instead of her. Although she has a book of wisdom that is almost omniscient, she said that this way can see things that are completely different from the books. .”

"..." Tang Cheng rested his cheeks in thought, and soon, he changed the question: "Although it may be a bit abrupt, do you know how to pretend to be a girl?"

When this question was asked, the gentle and bright expression on the lady's face settled down, and she frowned slightly: "Well, I was killed by her."

"!" Everyone present was shocked.

And Roswaal quickly leaned over and asked, "Teacher, what's going on?"

"Probably because I found out about her conspiracy." The lady talked about the past in a very peaceful way: "The ability to pretend to be a witch can use the spirit of speech to imply that other people think that this happened for real. Therefore, she has been hiding in history, manipulating people to make them act in the way she wants, so as to promote her ulterior and evil purposes."

The ability to pretend to be a witch, Tang Cheng originally heard Priscilla say it once, but Priscilla said that it was too unreliable that the other party could change the reality - that was too powerful, and the lady who was also a witch in front of him The intelligence that people say is much more convincing.

It is not to change the facts, but to make people mistakenly think that it is like the development of the situation in the witch's story. Indeed, from a certain point of view, it is also equivalent to changing history. Tang Cheng thought of the witch's teaching. The Gospels must have contained her power to some extent.

That is to say, the mass-produced Gospel of the Witch Cult is different from the degraded version produced by Roswaal and Betty attached to the Book of Wisdom, which is simply a pretense that the Witch used her abilities to fool people.

"As for me, because of my lust for power, the hints of the Witch of Pretense to other people in this world don't work for me." The lady unraveled the secret in one sentence: "Different from Donna who has infinite thirst for knowledge. , my lust is to exhaust all the pursuit of the truth, and the pretentious witch who specializes in lying to others naturally dislikes me.

"Could it be because of this reason that the Depressed Demon was in the first place..." Roswaal finally seemed to understand the cause and effect, and said with his hand on his chin.

After the silence, Tang Cheng's words made everyone present shudder: "I said, don't you think that the witch swallowed up half the world because of her pretentious incitement?

252．death knell about to ring

Not only Luknica, but the attitude towards the Envious Witch in this remaining world is similar to that of Voldemort, an existence that cannot even be mentioned by name.

However, in fact, people know very little about this witch who destroyed half of the world. There is only a narrative poem written by the bard through visiting the legends left behind in various places——

A dark mist enveloped the silver-haired half-elf, his strands lit by the flames of jealousy.

Words can't communicate, thoughts can't be conveyed, only endless hatred washes over this world.

Beware, for in the shadows lurks witches' minions,

Once the name of the witch is invoked, it will be pulled into the endless darkness.

Her body will never decay and age, and her life is endless.

Even if the dragons, heroes and sages seal her with their strength, they cannot completely destroy her.

The jealous witch Satila wiped out the six witches who plagued the world in the past, and the disaster witch who destroyed half of the world, was sealed in the crystal by the hero, sleeping in a corner of the world, quietly waiting to tell the world The day of vengeance is coming.

This is what Leizia told Tang Cheng when she first visited the Wangli Library.

According to people's rumors, the Envious Witch is a lonely and unspoken existence. Because she cannot communicate with people in this world, she gradually develops fear, and because of the hatred turned into fear, she decides to destroy the world.

Combined with the information obtained now, Tang Cheng felt that the possibility of the envious witch being incited by others was extremely high, because the nuclear bomb would not explode by itself if thrown in the storage room. Terrible power.

It feels like the puzzles are being solved bit by bit, and there are not many puzzle pieces left that have not been filled in the box.

Tang Cheng decided to collect the last few pieces of the puzzle, so he left Roswaal's mansion and went to the capital with Beatrice.

This time, he didn't choose to live in Crusch's duke's mansion, nor did he go to the royal palace. Instead, as the master, he quietly moved into the manor that his many brides had arranged.

During the time they left, the turmoil in the capital finally stabilized and returned to [-]% of the previous level.This was due to Crusch's superb personnel scheduling and administrative ability. Of course, the cooperation of the nobles during this period was also the reason why the situation was able to stabilize quickly.But not long ago, news of the kingdom's victory came from the northern front. Because of the appearance of the sword master Reinhardt, the momentum of the northern countries' southward advance was contained.

That sounds like it should be good news.

However, the facts have proved that this is still far from a proper solution to the problem. Those northern countries that were suppressed by Reijun Harut did not rush to withdraw their troops, but chose to shamefully disown the Turned to a confrontation at the political level below.

They sent envoys from all walks of life to try their best to argue that their military operation was not aimed at the kingdom, but to destroy the Envious Witch.Although the kingdom's cities and lands belong to the kingdom, the threat of the Witch of Envy is aimed at the whole world. Can you, Kingdom of Luknica, guarantee that the Witch of Envy will not be released?Even if you promise, we don't believe it.

Sure enough, my own life and future must be controlled by myself——

Although this call sounded high-sounding, but a fool can also hear that they are making excuses.However, Cai Aotian, a knight, really can't make decisions about this. All he can do is to station at the front line to prevent the troops from the northern countries from continuing to advance south, but let these envoys go to the capital to follow The aristocrats babbled.

However, to make matters worse, Julius and Natsuki Subaru immediately brought back the news that the Dragon God was dead, the seal of the Envious Witch was broken, and the Witch disappeared, causing the nobles who heard the news to be hysterical and terrified.
