So I became a witch

"'Happiness Pill'?"

"Yes, it is said that the user will fall into a state like heaven, but after waking up, he will go into madness due to the huge gap in reality, and then go deeper into the potion."

"This kind of thing...isn't it a drug?" Xilia faintly realized the seriousness of the matter, "This kind of thing should not be allowed by the Wang family. What is the scope of its spread?"

"It doesn't seem to be too big. The place of origin and the way of transmission of the medicine are not obvious yet, but I think it must be completely cut off before greater harm occurs."

"You're right. Then, Brother Huang, have they received the news?"

"It seems to be, but I'm afraid they don't have time to deal with it recently."

"...By the way, is it the Kuroshio?" Silia recalled.

Calculate the time, and it is indeed that time.

The black tide that strikes once every ten years is named after the huge army of virtual beasts. From a distance, it looks like a black tide.At this time, those man-eating monsters wandering outside will become violent like crazy, and the erosion of death will further intensify.

Since the establishment of the Rockefeller Kingdom a hundred years ago, the Kuroshio has never stopped.Although relying on the power of the enchantment and the knights to successfully defend the royal city, in recent years, the surge of the Kuroshio has become more and more intense. The Kuroshio that happened ten years ago was the largest in history. Once, even the capital almost fell.Steller's mother probably passed away unfortunately at that time.

Looking at the worried Xilia, Leila comforted: "Don't worry, for this war, His Majesty the King has already started preparing for this war a few years ago, with the help of the prince and princess, plus the princess What you brought back from the holy capital will not cause any problems in this Kuroshio."

"If that's the case, it's fine." Xilia showed a faint smile, "In this case, we can only rely on us to find a solution for the 'happiness medicine'!"

"Your Highness, a lot has changed since that day." Leila said with emotion.

"Hey? Is there?" Celia said with some embarrassment.

"In the past, Her Royal Highness, although she was kind to others, always lacked confidence in her gaze. But now, even with His Majesty the King, she can seriously express her thoughts." Leila said with a smile , "Sure enough, is it because of that person?"

"No, no." Xilia's face flushed slightly, "Even if I am, there must be something that can be done, she told me so...Because it was agreed, so, we must To achieve it."

Leila seemed to think of something: "By the way, if it's Mr. Steller, maybe he will know more about the 'happiness medicine'? Do you want to entrust her to investigate?"

"Indeed, if it's Steller...then, I'll leave it to you, Layla." Silia thought for a while and said.

"Understood. So, is there anything else Her Royal Highness wants to say to her?" Leila said.

"Hey? Hey, hey! Don't, what do you mean by other words! No, no! Really!" Escaping Leila's gaze, Silia's voice became smaller and smaller, "That, that , just ask her to say hello to her, and how are you doing recently... like this."

"Understood." Leila nodded and said, "Then, please allow me to take my leave first. Your Royal Highness, please also pay attention to rest. If there is any news, I will inform you immediately."

"Well, please," Celia said.

Leila closed the door softly, and after confirming that Celia would not hear, she was slightly relieved.

The current situation is much worse than what she described. I am afraid that it is related to the destruction of the world that the gods of the holy capital said. The observed range of the Kuroshio alone far exceeds the sum of all previous ones.

Probably, even if it survives this time, the Rockefeller Kingdom will face a painful loss. It can almost be said that there will be no next time. The extinction of human beings can already be said to be a certainty, no matter what you do. Change.

However, she couldn't bear to tell Xilia about this.The happiness of ignorance is better than the pain of knowing, isn't it?Since the princess chooses to work hard, it is impossible for Leila not to give her a push.

As the knight of the princess, he must do everything to protect her.I have already made a mistake once, and I will never allow a second time.

Even if the price is your own life.

"Your Excellency, Deputy Commander." Leila, who had just left the palace, was immediately stopped by the hurried knights.Although the loss was heavy, she still protected the princess and brought back important news. The current Leila has been promoted to become the deputy head of the Kingdom Knights, which is extremely rare in the history of the kingdom.

"What's the matter?" Layla said.

"Yes." The knight stood at attention and saluted, his voice sounded urgent, "It seems that in the outskirts near the Black Sea, there was news of the knights who disappeared during the last mission."

"What did you say?" Layla froze for a moment, and her voice became anxious.Except for Claire, who was split into ashes by lightning, the rest of the Knights should have fallen into the Black Sea just like him, but in the end only himself, the princess, and Steller reached the depths of the restricted area, while the others kept falling into the black sea. Whereabouts are unknown.Although there was little hope, Leila still requested to send a search force, and she did not expect to receive the news today.

"...I understand. Then, let's go and have a look together." Leila took a deep breath and said, "However, before that, I have other places to go."

Rockefeller Kingdom, the outskirts of the slums.

After returning from the restricted area, in addition to the usual command work, Steller occasionally studied the mysterious Rubik's Cube brought back from the restricted area.However, apart from the initial changes, even if she used the Void Eye, her progress was very slow.After all, the existence of the Void Eye is only to analyze everything to the initial information level, and as for the understanding, you have to do it yourself.Steller somewhat understands why no one has been able to solve the answer to the Rubik's Cube for hundreds of years. I didn't want people to solve this answer, and only the existence of bugs like the Void Eye can fix these unsolvable bugs bit by bit, so as to lead to the original answer, otherwise, even that god can't do it. arrive.

But doing so would inevitably affect Steller's own body.In any case, it is too difficult to understand God's answer with a human body.What's more, in today's era when the average human life expectancy is less than 40 years old, Steller, who has lived a hard life since he was a child, really has no confidence in how far his body can last.

Chapter 130 The Second Bet

Perhaps, before seeing this world destroyed, he would be the first to die.

"It seems that the plan has to be advanced." Steller said to himself.

"Is it starting so soon?" said the voice in the darkness.

"Yeah, otherwise, wouldn't it be too cheap for those guys to simply wait for the doomsday to come?" Steller said bluntly, "Thanks to that silly and sweet second princess, all the time we have There is also a reliable source of internal intelligence in the heavily guarded royal city that is lacking."

"Guys like you will definitely die badly in the future."

"Thank you for the compliment." Steller said indifferently, "But aren't you the same? The third hidden princess of the Kingdom, Your Highness Tina? You should hate this world just like me. That's why we became" Best friend, isn't it?"

"...The only thing I hate is the man who abandoned my mother, and those indifferent bystanders. The only reason I will help you is because our current goal is the same. Once my goal is achieved, I will I will betray you without hesitation." Tina, whose real name was pointed out, replied indifferently.

"Hey? Do you want to be the savior? I really didn't see that." Steller said with a half-smile.

"...It's just an agreement, with a very important person." Tina said.

"I see. I finally understand why you and I should be the same person but have different answers. You hate this world as much as I do, but you always keep calm because of that person's Exist. I really envy you, you can get your own redemption. But that's good, the one-way road leading to hell, just me is enough." Steller said with a smile.

"... Whatever you want."

"Aren't you going to persuade me?"

"I understand very well that your hatred and despair are not something I can save. Your revenge on this world, I am afraid that only death can stop you. But, I will not let you die so easily, I won't let you completely destroy the world."

"Sure enough, that Rubik's Cube is an important tool to save the world, right? Now that I think about it, your actions were very suspicious from the very beginning, as if you knew what was hidden in the restricted area. After you learned about a certain 'desire' of mine, , Secretly came the news that the Wang family wanted to investigate the restricted area, so as to connect the two existences that should be different from heaven and earth, which is really a good way." Steller smiled and clapped his hands, but his eyes did not change. He didn't mean to laugh, "Hey, can you tell me as a friend? Who is the person behind you?"

"...It's just my personal wish." Tina replied calmly.But in fact, her heart is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface.Only those who have really faced it will know how much pressure Steller's Void Eye will bring to people.The kind of anxiety and powerlessness that even the deepest memory in his heart can be seen at a glance, it would have already collapsed if it were any other person.

"Hmph, forget it, anyway, I've already got a lot of answers from you. Why don't we make a bet, whether I will destroy the world, or you will be able to save the world."

"...I don't understand. If you really want to destroy the world so much, as long as you don't solve the Rubik's Cube, the world will naturally lose its last hope and perish. Why do you do such useless things?"

"In that case, wouldn't it be too boring?" Steller's eyes were almost narrowed, and he smiled slyly, "There is no desire to bully a group of dying fish. Only by giving them hope After the bait, the despair will be more delicious when it is served on the table, isn’t it? In order to prevent the game from falling to one side, I promise you, my friend, as long as I am alive, I will continue to help analyze that Rubik's Cube. But, you can't relax because of it. Otherwise, this world will be over."

"...You are actually looking forward, looking forward to someone being able to stop your madness."

"Perhaps that's true. It's just a pity that such people don't seem to exist. Ah, Her Royal Highness seems to have sent someone here. It seems that the 'bait' has indeed been properly cast. Then , Our conversation has come to an end. Work hard, 'Master Savior'." Steller patted Tina on the shoulder, put on the mask again, and walked out of the room slowly. The silence of the past was restored, and only Tina's thin figure was reflected in the light.

Tina silently recalled the day when she and Steller met. It was obviously the first time they met, but inconceivably, she felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy with Steller.

Afterwards, they began to investigate the truth about the disappearance of children in the civilian area, accidentally discovered an underground sex camp hidden between the noble area and the civilian area, and even noticed the "dark deal" there.Even himself, when he saw the bloody execution room, couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.The girl's limbs and internal organs were everywhere, as well as pieces of meat that couldn't be seen after being grilled over charcoal fire. However, Facing this hell-like scene, Steller's expression was calm and terrifying.

Only those who have seen a more cruel hell will face such a hell without being moved.

"I'll take the words of these children away." After all kinds of hardships, they worked together to destroy the entire clubhouse.Most of them were buried in the fire, only a few children were lucky enough to survive.Then, Steller said so.

"Can't they be handed over to the police or their parents?"

"Think about it with your brain. What we destroyed was just a clubhouse. Those big shots will not let it go. With their abilities, they will track down these children sooner or later. When the time comes, whether it is them Or their parents, there will only be a dead end."

"...Is there no other way?"

"No, because this world is such a cruel thing. So, do you want to join us?" Steller smiled and held out his hand to Tina.But it seemed to Tina that she was not smiling.

"Join you?" Tina asked suspiciously.

"That's right, join us and raise the banner of rebellion against this cruel world."

Almost as a matter of course, Tina joined the Black Feather Cult, which was still in its infancy at the time. On the surface, it was an organization where a group of weak people huddled together in order to survive. In fact, only she understood that everyone here, More or less loathing such a world.

Chapter 130 Three: The Eve of the Kuroshio

And the person who led this group of children was none other than Steller.

On the surface, it seems that she is providing a home for these homeless children, providing them with selfless care and love, but in fact she is maliciously cultivating their hatred.As long as you think about it carefully, you will understand that if you can control so many desperate people, the despair you harbor will only become deeper.

Only in front of Xilia, she never hides her true face.And the deeper the contact, the more Tina understood the extent of the despair hidden in her heart.It is no exaggeration to say that if there was a button that would destroy the world placed in front of Steller, she would definitely press it immediately.As she herself said, probably only death can end her madness.However, if she dies, the Void Eye she possesses will also disappear, and from then on, there will be no hope in this world.

The bet between Steller and Tina was really, as she said, deliberately leaving a last hope, or she herself was hoping for something...

I don't understand, but inconceivably, Tina vaguely understood her thoughts.Probably, if he hadn't met Sora, he might have become like her.

That's why she was able to say that such behavior is definitely a wrong word.

"Is the Kuroshio just a month away..." Tina muttered to herself.

Taking advantage of the next Kuroshio Current, the world will probably undergo earth-shaking changes.

However, no one can stop her.

No, maybe there is one.

Xilia, the "sister" who is about the same age as her and has a half father.

Tina's heart twitched slightly, and she couldn't help recalling the scene outside the window of the small dark room in her mind.Although they are similar in age and appearance, they are treated differently because of their different births.As if someone is deliberately protecting her innocence, that girl is really too "clean", "clean" does not look like a child born in this world at all, and the existence of Steller is completely different. It's like two opposite extremes.

If you want to ask Tina's feelings for Xilia, it's probably jealousy.Even after staying with Sora for a long time, time still hasn't wiped out the hatred in her heart, which is why Steller would say that she is the same kind of person as herself.But is it really good to do so?In the final analysis, her behavior was nothing more than anger.

Hey, Sora, what am I supposed to do?Tina silently asked about the one in her heart.

no answer.One of the costs of knowing that "truth" was her complete farewell to Sora.

In order to save the world, save Sora, I must become stronger.

It has to be... no, it has to be.

The arrival of the Kuroshio is getting closer and closer.

The originally dark sky seemed to become deeper and deeper, just like people's hearts, full of fear and uneasiness.

Although the last Kuroshio was ten years ago, for those who survived by chance, it was simply a nightmare that could not wake up.Countless civilians died in that battle, and even the noble families were mostly destroyed, and they couldn't even maintain their livelihoods.What's even more frightening is that every black tide will erode countless lands and turn them into ruins of death.The original capital of Rockefeller was actually much wider than it is now, but it gradually shrunk to its present state after experiencing many black tides.

"I don't know how many people are going to die this time?" Bertram, the current head of the Knights of the Kingdom, looked out the window at the black tide that had already formed a line, and murmured to himself.Now in his 30s, he still looks very young, but in a world where the average life expectancy is less than [-], he can be regarded as entering old age.

"Please don't say that, Your Excellency. Isn't the reason why we exist here is to defend our country and people? As the hero who fought against the Kuroshio last time, you should be more confident, otherwise, the knights under you It will also become uneasy." Secretary-General Chloe, who was sitting opposite him, said seriously.

"Hahaha, that's exactly what you said." The head of the knight group let out a hearty laugh. He gradually withdrew his smile and said seriously, "Then, let's talk about the business. How long is it before the arrival of the Kuroshio?"

"Three days... No, I'm afraid there are at most two days." Chloe said.

Bertram frowned: "It's much earlier than before."

"Yes, I'm afraid, it has something to do with the news of 'world destruction'." Chloe said.

"Will the world be destroyed..." he muttered to himself.A long time ago, the Kingdom made many countermeasures in response to the arrival of the Kuroshio, among which the most famous but also the most mysterious one was the legend about the witch.But no one dared to take it seriously, because the existence of the witch was too illusory to them now.When no one answered, the second princess who had been raised as a vase volunteered to take up the task of finding the witch.

Naturally, no one expected her success.But inconceivably, that Princess Her Royal Highness successfully crossed the death penalty zone, brought back the power and weapons of the Holy Capital, but also brought a shocking news.

This world has already been destroyed.The other seven continents on the earth have also been destroyed, and they are the last remaining human beings in this world.

Although the news was immediately blocked, there were very few people who learned the truth, and Bertram was one of them.

"It doesn't look like you're too surprised," Chloe said.

"Because there is more or less such an omen, not only me, other guys probably also faintly noticed it, so when that little guy said all this, although he was surprised, no one questioned it." Bertram sighed.

"Your heart is really strong." Chloe said.

"No, it's just pure cowardice. It's because of cowardice that we have to live on like this." Bertram laughed at himself, "Well, no matter what, all we can do is to protect the present moment. .”

"The Academy of Sciences is already doing its best to analyze the technology of the legendary holy capital brought back by Her Royal Highness. It is expected that the analysis will be completed before the official launch of the Kuroshio Current, and it will be officially put into the battlefield."

"That's really good news. However, I have a hunch that this Kuroshio tide will not be simple, and it will probably become the scariest one in history."

Chapter 130 Four Avengers

"For this, His Majesty has already prepared for it."

"what do you mean……"

"After this Kuroshio, a new enthronement ceremony will be held."

"...Is Your Majesty planning to use that power?" Pertram sighed softly.

The so-called power inherited from the royal family is actually somewhat different from what has been passed down.It is not the sword left by the witch that brings power, but a ring.Legend has it that the god once bestowed a city on his servant, allowing him to use the power of God on the earth. Later, the servant became the bishop of the Moi religion and passed on the ring representing the power of the god.As the first emperor of the Rockefeller Kingdom, Rockefeller, the son of the last bishop of the Moi religion, naturally obtained this power. As long as he is on this land, he can manipulate the power of God to fight against the enemy. Almost equivalent to the existence of invincibility.However, this power is not so convenient. Its price is the user's lifespan. The more you use this power, the user's life will be one step closer to death. This is why the kings of all dynasties are very short-lived. One of the reasons why everyone unconditionally supports the king's rule is also because only the king and his descendants can use this power to save everyone from the black tide.

As for the sword left by the witch, there are many rumors but the truth has never been known. The only thing that is certain is that it is not that whoever owns the sword can gain power, but only those who have power have certain powers. use it.No one can know the age and origin of the sword that was forged with unknown craft and material. They can only faintly perceive the extremely terrifying power contained in it, and it may even surpass the gods.However, among the kings of all dynasties, only the first king Rockefeller has the power to use it. For others, it is more like a symbol of hope.

"With His Majesty's body, can you really support it..." Bertram whispered.

"As a king who has been in office for more than ten years, which is rare in the past hundred years, it is not the first time that the current king has experienced the Kuroshio. It is because of his bravery that we finally defeated the Kuroshio last time. But as a price , The king's body has also been irreversibly damaged, and since then, he has almost relied on the queen and the two crown princes to maintain the government, I am afraid that after this time..." Chloe shook her head and did not continue.

"Really? Is he going to leave too? The old friend of the past, now it's just me and him..." Bertram's eyes were a little lonely, but he regained his spirit immediately, "Oh, As long as I'm still alive, I won't allow that ghost to continue trampling on our country!"

"It seems that your preparations are complete. Then, I won't bother you anymore, and I look forward to your triumphant return..." Chloe's voice was suppressed by a burst of noisy footsteps before it fell. pass.

The door was suddenly pushed open heavily, and a pale knight leaned on the threshold panting, obviously exhausted.
