"Son, what do you mean?"

"queen."

"This, I'm afraid... there is some misunderstanding?"

"My daughter has evidence."

The person standing in the center of the hall walked slowly, and stopped beside the tied-up hunter.

Looking at it suddenly, it is really unconvincing to conclude that the queen is a witch just by a word from the hunter and his daughter.

But since Qi Yan came, it showed that he was sure enough.

Just now, he suddenly understood something.

For example, the "Witch Hunt Movement" was not initiated simply because of a book, or a coincidence of natural disasters and man-made disasters.

What can make it explode is "fear".

This movement is not so much an offensive as a counterattack by those in power against their inner fears.

They fear the power of witchcraft.

Curses, demons, piles of bones twisting in the dark.

In order to ensure their own safety, there is only one choice - to destroy the demons.

It's a pity that torture and killing can't be touched, human nature can't bear easy temptation.The smell of blood is much more addictive.

The movement gradually expanded, it gradually broke human nature, broke the law, and turned into another kind of demon.

And this country is also experiencing a brutal witch hunt.

He once wondered why the noble princess disappeared but no one went looking for it.

It was only later that I realized in a daze that it made no difference as long as the pauper or the princess was suspected of being a witch.

It's all fear incarnate.

There are so many ways to "distinguish" a witch, and in the end, the people who are most likely to be suspected are people with outstanding looks.

No matter which world it is, there is always a little malice towards good-looking people.

Having said that, he had to contact the queen's mirror.In the story, there is always only one question asked by the mirror: "Who is the most beautiful person in the world?"

The queen was also afraid that others would see the mirror.

When he suddenly appeared at the door, after that panic, Qi Yan went in again, but couldn't see the mirror.

He guessed that this mirror was related to the identity of a witch.An association that even kings dread.

The reason why the queen wants to kill the princess is not just because of who looks good in this ranking.

But... If someone is prettier than her, what will happen.

Although this "consequence" is not clear to him yet, there is no time to waste here.

"The person who just wanted to cheat on me happened to be your hunter."

"Maybe we can look up his origin and maybe find more coincidences."

"No, I don't know the queen." The hunter who was pushed to the ground struggled to look up, with a nervous expression: "I just saw the princess..."

"If you don't want to admit it right away."

The boy interrupted him slightly, and took out his sunglasses:

"We can each ask the mirror a question, and see who will it answer?"

His voice was cold, and the magic mirror in his hand was filled with black air, circled around his fingers.

Including the king, the pupils of the onlookers dilated in horror, and some older women even took a step back.

The queen did not speak, her posture and expression were still arrogant.

"If you don't want to, do you want me to try first?" Qi Yan pressed on step by step.

Under the gaze of the crowd, the woman raised the corners of her mouth, not knowing what she was laughing at.

After a while, the freezing air of silence broke her.

"No need." She breathed a sigh of relief, and folded her gorgeous cloak.Looking at him with dark green eyes, "I am a witch."

"You are very smart."

She averted her eyes, looked up at the top of the Splendid Tower, and smiled flamboyantly: "But the contract with the devil will never be broken, and it will never end no matter where you go."

The king was awakened by the ferocious smile, and he ordered the guards to arrest the queen in a panic.

Maybe it was to let the story barely have an ending, the queen didn't hide.After all, no matter how the plot is rewritten, the system will make the ending the same.

The princess was happy and happy, but the wicked queen died unexpectedly.

The queen coldly shook off the hand of the guard who was holding her, straightened her body and walked away.

When passing by Qi Yan, his pace was slower.

"In the future, let's live with this kind of heart."

"Little princess." She said softly.

Only by relying on this kind of doubt and prudence can we live for a long time.

"Give that magic mirror to the church, it's horrible... oh my god. We'll be in a few days... no! The witch will be publicly executed tomorrow!"

"..." The queen was taken away, Qi Yan stood alone for a while, but couldn't laugh.Nodding, handed over the mirror.

After returning to the room, he ate a few mouthfuls of the dinner that was delivered, put down his fork, and walked under the oil painting.

Candlelight illuminates the oil painting, and vague shadow lines are printed in the frame.

"Two answers...really 2?"

There are still things that haven't been clarified, and it really can't end like this.

Qi Yan pursed his lips until his gaze rested on the forehead of the portrait... then he suddenly remembered the things in the Queen's room.

That silver cone with the magic mirror.

"Impossible..." He frowned, and broke through the door without a moment's pause.Regardless of the people he met on the road, he ran directly to the queen's door.

Just catching up with the guards who came to lock it.

Without explaining, Qi Yan hit him on the back of the head with a knife, and pulled the unconscious guard to push the door in.

The room was pitch black, Qi Yan groped his way to the dressing table according to his memory.

Then the second drawer was opened.

The only ray of moonlight found the gap where the wooden boards sealed the window, and fell straight into the drawer.

This is not a cone, but a silver nail.

Silver nails are nailed to the forehead, which is the European method of sealing the devil.

"Use the things the deceased loved to lock up the soul..." They think that in this way, the devil and the human soul can be sealed together in the portrait.

Holding the silver nail, Qi Yan began to piece together the chaotic thoughts in his head.

Avoiding subjective fabrications, there are only two assumptions.

Assumption [-], the first queen is not a witch, but was framed by someone.The rest is nothing, only one thing is puzzling - who pulled out this nail?In what mood did you pull it out?

The first one may be the king, but he must have "determined" that the queen is the witch before allowing the existence of the nail.A man who is so terrified and fights against the devil cannot pull the nail out.Even if he pulled it out, the nail would not be difficult to fall into the queen's hands.

The second could be the queen, who has the power to pull out the nails, and keep them.But this is inconsistent with her feeling of killing the queen because of jealousy.If this is the case, then she not only let go of the imprisoned souls of the first queen, but also kept the silver nails so that no one would find out.

If the hypothesis holds, he'll pick the second.Compared with the so-called love, Qi Yan believes in the sacred status of life in the hearts of ordinary people.

After all, bad guys may also be smart. Maybe the queen is really Morgana, thinking that after regaining her love, she will be consummated, and there is no need to bother with the poor soul of the dead.

Assumption [-], the first queen was a witch, she may have shown her feet in something, she was killed by witch hunting, and then her soul was sealed into the painting.

If this is the case, the problem is still the previous two.Who released her in what mood?

King, Qi Yan would naturally not choose.

Queen...it's still possible.

However, according to the assumption that the first queen is a witch, the love defense battle between the two witches may be a bit complicated.

In the darkness, Qi Yan held the silver nail tightly.At least going around and around, he felt that the queen was the only one who knew whether the queen was a witch or not.

If there is a discrepancy.Then the answers to the two questions will change.

Taking the nails with him, Qi Yan tore off the cloak on the hanger and hurried out.

When he easily crossed the difficulties and obstacles with a comb and arrived at the tower of the castle with his open face, the queen was tasting a grape gracefully with a small plate of fruit.

Before Qi Yan could say anything, the queen said with a half-smile, "Come and see me? Or—"

She put down the fruit lightly, and looked at him with emerald eyes, "Come here for a joke?"

Taking off his cloak and hat, Qi Yan said softly, "Neither of them."

The queen curled her lips and looked away, "I really underestimated you. I remember when I first saw you, you were just like that, lying in the cradle. I thought, although this child is not good-looking, at least she will grow up to be a lady .But look at yourself, you can slap—"

"My mother, is she a witch?"

The chatterbox was forcibly closed.The queen's fingernails were embedded in the strawberry pulp in an instant.

This move was watched by the people around.

"..." The queen was dull and closed her eyelids.After a while, he spoke. "It's best to ask your father this question."

"My mother, is she a witch?" Qi Yan naturally didn't think that method was "best".

"..." She raised her eyelids and gouged out the stepdaughter impatiently. "Yes or no, we have never had the final say."

"Yes, right?" Qi Yan approached the iron fence, "So the soul must be locked with silver nails."

From a distance of a few meters, he could also see the queen's hands clenched into fists.

"...Yes, it's that witch, it's all because of her!" Finally, as if she couldn't bear it anymore, she pushed the fruit plate away with a slap and shouted, "I became like this because of her! That damned woman !"

The glass plate shattered to the ground, and the female voice trembled: "It's all... because of her..."

"Then why take it off?"

"..." The female voice froze again.

"Why do you want to release the soul of this witch who has harmed you?" Qi Yan pressed every step of the way, and stretched out his hand to reveal the silver nail.

"..." The queen turned her head to the dark side, and suddenly laughed. "Hahahaha...hahahahahaha..."

After laughing for a long time, she asked sharply, "Will I benefit from unplugging it?"

"Yes." Unexpectedly, the other party answered quickly.

Before the queen could make an expression, he continued: "Because Morgana needs to remove the silver nail, Morgana, who is a mother's friend."

Morgana.

Very strange name.

The queen's expression froze on her face.

"You're Morgana. Right?"

With these words, the queen's expression gradually disappeared, and even at a certain moment, there was no joy or sorrow.

It was very quiet in the tower prison, and there was only one voice left at this moment. "Perhaps my mother would like to see you very much."
