So I became a witch

However, my master seemed to be not satisfied with his attire, the corners of his mouth were slightly bent downwards: "Although I have planned for lunch and dinner, it's just like this... Forget it, let's leave it at that."

"I'm sorry." The head maid took a step forward and straightened the silver jewelry on the master's chest. "Then, have a good journey."

"Also, these are the car keys, please keep them." The butler Clarence put a bunch of heavy luxury car keys in my hand.

"Huh?" I froze for a moment.

"It's just for driving. Can you drive it?"

"It will be... But won't you go? Well, am I the only one going?" I couldn't help asking.

"Of course, this is going to someone else's house as a guest. If you bring too many servants, it will only look rude." The master said calmly.

Hmm, although it makes sense, but if this is the case, my uneasiness will become more serious.

"Also, there is something else I need to tell you. It seems that Duke Marburio has been unable to be contacted since just now." The steward lowered his head and said respectfully.

"What's going on here?" The master frowned, "Even if he is not around for a while, his servants should explain it, right?"

"In fact, the communication seems to have been in a state of being unreachable." Clarence said in a low voice.

The master thought for a while and said, "Well, it's already this time, so I still have to go. After all, there was an agreement before that. If I don't go, it will be my side to be rude. As for the reason for the lack of communication, it's still Ask again when you get there."

As a result, in the end, only me and the master left the house.After greeting the maids in the garden, I got into the luxury car that had brought me here, although this time I sat in the driver's seat.Because of my body shape, I can barely touch the gas pedal, and I can only see a little gap in the front window, but with the help of the Void Eye, I can sense my surroundings even without using my eyes. Case.He clearly made up his mind just now not to use the Eye of Void except for fighting, but he didn't expect to break the contract so soon, it can only be said that it was a last resort.

The car started smoothly, and I was slightly relieved, the knowledge I had learned before came in handy.Although it is slightly different from domestic cars, the overall operation method has not changed. The only thing to pay attention to is not to step on the accelerator all at once, otherwise, with the horsepower of this car, I am afraid that it will drift to 200 yards in an instant. above.

I don't know if a domestic driver's license can be used here... Otherwise, if you get caught, it will be a crime of driving without a license.

Compared to my worries, the owner sat in the back row as if nothing had happened, with his hands on his lap, his chin propped up, his eyes drifting out of the window, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

With the help of the navigator, even when I came to London for the first time, I was able to drive on the various split roads with ease.Perhaps it was because the time was approaching noon, there were not many cars on the car, and it was very easy for me to drive.According to this speed, it will take about ten minutes to reach the destination.

The next thing to say is to pass through this ancient residential area?

Although it is the capital of a country, the relics around London are also very well preserved, including the architectural style of medieval stone houses, as well as some large chimneys left over from the industrial revolution. There is no trace of people on the empty streets. It looks like there aren't many people living here.

Be it Hiber, or the Duke of Marberio who has never met before, do British nobles like to live in these remote places?

And, for some reason, this place always feels a little uncomfortable to me.

……

Isn't it a little bit long?

"Master?" I called softly.

"What's the matter?" The master seemed to have recovered, and responded lightly.

Chapter 34 Fog

"Have we been here just now?"

"Huh? Even if you ask me about this kind of thing... no, it seems to be a little familiar." The master's voice also began to become serious.

Although the structures of the rooms here are mostly similar, I also trust my memory. This place seems to have been here once before.

Is the navigator wrong?I pulled over and tried to adjust the car's nav, but it looked pretty normal anyway.

what is the problem?

"It's foggy," said the master suddenly.

I raised my head abruptly, and the stone house, where cracks could even be seen clearly, had become hazy before I knew it, and even the lights of the car could not penetrate the thick fog.

Why, even though it is still noon in summer, is there such a heavy fog rising in the urban area?

Moreover, there is another place that is wrong, that is, it is too quiet here.Even if there is no human habitation, such a dead atmosphere like a cemetery is very abnormal.

"Sorry, something is a little wrong, I need to investigate. Also...if possible, can you please follow me?" I hesitated, and said so.When encountering such a strange scene, acting separately is simply looking for death. Although it may be dangerous, I am more sure to protect her by my side than to leave the owner alone in the car.

"Well, then I'll leave it to you." The master said heartily, so talkative that one wondered if she knew this would happen.

As soon as I got out of the car, I smelled a strong smell of burning wood.It should be sulfur dioxide. Sure enough, this is not ordinary smog.Although this kind of gas is not a serious problem to me except for the irritating taste, if it is inhaled too much, it will still have a bad effect on ordinary people.After reminding the master like this, she shook her head and said, "Don't worry about me. Although it may not be as good as you, it doesn't matter to me just to this extent."

Well, after all, she is also a descendant of the demon hunter family. Although I haven't seen her strength, at least she can't be an ordinary girl. I feel relieved thinking of this.

"Then, please." The girl smiled and held out her hand to me.

I froze for a moment, then took her hand.The owner's hands are soft, a bit like cotton candy, yet warm yet slightly cold.In this way, the two of us walked together in this dense fog.

As time went by, the thickness of the fog became thicker and thicker, to the point where you couldn't even see the opponent's face if you were close to your body.To be on the safe side, I used the Void Eye.

...Sure enough, this is definitely not an ordinary fog, but some kind of existence similar to the enchanted space of the Void Domain.Also, the composition of the fog is not what I thought at first, it is simply composed of sulfur dioxide and other substances, and there is some kind of mysterious power mixed between those tiny particles.

"There are traces of magic power in this fog." The master said suddenly.

"What?" I didn't recover all of a sudden, magic power?Do you mean a novel?She was suddenly possessed by Lulu, so why did she say this kind of secondary school talk?

As if sensing my doubts, the host explained: "Since you are a student of Rutias Academy, you should also know that for us, there are two roads ahead, one is to change ourselves and reach the limit of life. The road—that is, the road of the mortal world; and the other is the road that changes the world and uses the rules—that is, the road of Xingyan. The reason why they are called two roads is because they are actually not connected, not The road connecting the front and back, but two parallel lines.”

I was stunned for a moment, although I have heard about Xingyan and Fanchen countless times, but this is the first time I have heard such a statement.

"why?"

"Because there is a limit. No matter how powerful a creature is, it has a limit. Just like life and death, the limit of a creature is the limit of the path of the mortal world, that is, God's Forbidden."

I am silent, indeed, it is said that the original Star King also opened up another path that is comparable to gods and demons because he saw the limit of the mortal world.

"Because there is a limit, do you have to go another way?"

"That's right. Therefore, there is no connection between the two, and there is no one who is weaker than the other. It's just that one side has a limit, and the other side has not yet discovered the limit. That's why there is Xingyan. It is said that the mortals are definitely stronger than the mortals. Of course, this is also because the stars are lit up after the mortals themselves have reached a higher level."

"That is to say, even if you don't take the path of mortals, can you directly start the path of Xingyan?" I asked.

"This possibility exists, but there are very few successful people, or none at all. Because it is too reluctant to bear the power of Xingyan that can change the world with the body of an ordinary person, just like Letting a newborn baby learn advanced mathematics is like learning advanced mathematics. Before that, there must be a foundation, so now there is such a saying that the advanced level of the mortal is the star-spreader."

Hearing what she said, I suddenly thought of the pair of brothers and sisters I met in the assessment before. Among them, the elder brother named Baiguan didn't seem to have practiced like a mortal, but he had a personality comparable to that of Xingyan. strength.Is it because of some special constitution, or is there some other reason?Next time we meet, just ask him if possible.

"Although the Xingyan is powerful, it has limitations. Once it exceeds the distance of the domain or the time is up, it will become vulnerable. The attack power of the mortal is far inferior to that of the Xingyan, but its vitality is extremely tenacious. Unless it is a fatal injury that destroys the head or the heart, both can heal slowly; both have their own limitations, so they need to be compensated together.”

So that's the case, if you say it this way, it really seems to be the case.

"But... what do these words have to do with magic power?" I couldn't help asking.

The master hesitated for a while, then coughed lightly and said, "Do you know magic?"

"Are you talking about the ones who chanted spells and cast spells on each other, or the ones who used the staff to fight each other after the flash buff?"

"...No, there are some differences between the two. According to the records in the magic book, the world is composed of the four elements of earth, water, wind and fire, and other elements derived from them, such as light, darkness, and thunder, Does it sound familiar?"

"You mean... the attributes of the star spawner?"

Chapter 35 The Undead

"That's right. According to the current practice, if you want to reach the realm of star expansion, you must first condense a 'core' in your body with powerful flesh and blood enough to hold the star energy, then process it, construct it, and finally use it for yourself , That is to say, the star generator. The more star energy gathered, the more perfect the structure field will be, and the stronger the power will be, so people have come to this conclusion: the strength of the body also determines the ability to accommodate the star energy. How much, so people who go farther in the realm of mortals can also go further in the realm of stars. However, a long time ago, there existed such a group of people, they did not need to practice mortals, but they could also have stars. The power of evolution, people call this power: magic."

"How is this possible?" I was surprised. Probably no one in the world is more aware of the horror of astral energy than me. As an existence between energy and matter that connects the positive and negative channels, it itself has the ability to break the boundary. , it’s fine if it’s just a small amount, but if it’s too much to condense the domain, it’s no joke. If you’re not careful, annihilation will occur and you’ll disappear from this world forever.Therefore, in order to avoid such a situation from happening, the demon hunters will carefully introduce the star energy into their bodies little by little, transform their bodies to a level sufficient to bear it, and then manipulate these terrifying existences like brothers and sisters.In the end, what can be done to skip this step?At least for now I have no clue.

"No one knows how they know, because magic has disappeared from this world a long time ago, and what is left is only the existence called residue."

"why?"

"Because it's taboo."

"Taboo?"

"Yes, it cannot be known by anyone, and it can only exist as a legend. Because, its source is said to be from the power possessed by the gods and demons in the age of gods and demons."

How did you know?I didn't ask this sentence, but swallowed it forcefully.Everyone has their own secrets, if you touch them casually, some bad things will inevitably happen, no matter for yourself or others.

"However, in this fog, there is such a possibility. Maybe I am paranoid... But please be careful."

"Understood." I nodded.If it were Lulu here, I am afraid her eyes would already be glowing. It is "taboo" and "god and demon". It's just "oh" to me.

After all, I have seen a power countless times more terrifying than that.

Be it Xingyan, Fanchen, or Magic.

Everything begins with the void and will end with the void.

In this sense, the witch who has mastered the power of the void can indeed be called the strongest existence.

However, if possible, I really want to experience it, the so-called forbidden magic or something.

With the help of the eyes of the void, I led my master straight to the place where the thick fog is the weakest.

It's still close, if you just walk a little more, you will be able to leave this ghostly place.

"Undead souls who don't know love, please listen to our prayer~~~~"

"..." I stopped in my tracks.

"What's wrong?" the master asked strangely.

"...someone, singing ahead. Didn't you hear?"

"No, it's so quiet around here, how could someone be there." The master shook his head and said.

"...Sorry, maybe I misheard." I didn't go on, but continued to walk forward.

"Although this place is not a place of deep sleep, nor is it the other shore of reincarnation.

All the undead wandering around the world gather here.

Forget the memory, forget the past.

Only this one thing, but never dissipated.

Its name is, desire for vengeance.

Immortal souls, this is the moment to vent your desires.

To destroy, to kill, to bite, to hate.

I will give you the right to be called Avengers...

Devour this world! "

The girl's singing stopped abruptly, and everything returned to its former calm.Although it was in a language I had never heard, I fully understood its meaning.The girl's singing voice is very beautiful, with a touch of poignancy in the gentleness, but the lyrics are so crazy, persistent to the point of determination.

Suddenly, a strong premonition of uneasiness rose in my heart, which forced me to hold the master's hand tightly.I said in a deep voice, "Sorry, we have to leave here quickly."

Saying that, I took a step forward.

The hand I was holding was still motionless, and I felt that something was wrong and I turned around suddenly, only to find that the person I was holding had changed from Heibel to a strange girl at some point.

"Where do you want to go?" The girl showed a sweet smile, but that smile makes people feel creepy no matter how you look at it.

"Who are you? Where's Xibel?" I asked in a deep voice.

The girl didn't realize it, and said to herself: "Why do you want to leave? Isn't it good to stay here? It's good to be together all the time Is it?"

No, I can't communicate at all.The girl's hand held me tightly, although I don't know who you are, but I still ask you to sleep first.

Thinking of this, I exerted all my strength, grabbed the girl's arm and turned around to perform the throwing technique.

The girl's body was easily thrown out by me, and completely merged into the dense fog.Yes, it wasn't that she was thrown far away so she couldn't see it, but her body suddenly disintegrated into the same fog as the surroundings at the moment I threw it, forming parts of them.

What the hell is this?Void?No, it shouldn't be. That kind of thin information doesn't look like a virtual beast at all. If you insist on a metaphor, it probably looks like someone's dregs.

Undead.

For some reason, this word suddenly popped up in my mind.

What is going on here?

However, now is not the time to pursue this.The most urgent task now is to find the missing owner again.

Fortunately, in the past, just in case, I set up some traps on her body that only the Eye of Xu could "see", so that she could find them when she got lost.

Now... Fortunately, the master is not far away from my position, and has not been teleported away, but he is also running away from me at an extremely fast speed.

Damn, you are so brave, you dare to steal someone under my nose.

"Give me back the master... back!" I stepped hard and fired towards the master like a cannonball.

Chapter 36 Stone Bridge

It is said that the sharp-tailed swift is the fastest animal in the world, and its flying speed can reach 100 meters per second, but my current speed is so much more than that.Although there is no comparison object, in my field of vision, I am closing the gap between the master at an absolute speed.

"Give me... stop!"
