Chapter 69 The Witch's Request
Xu Yichen is a half-way apprentice of the Demon Hunter. Even if he included the days of running with the Demon Hunter, although he learned very quickly, it was not yet half a month since he became an apprentice.
After listening to Xu Yichen's explanation, the witch looked at him with complicated eyes, as if she had regretted the promise she had made before.
"Okay, I have no choice anyway." The witch sighed, and Xu Yichen heard the vicissitudes of time from her voice.
He felt that the witch in front of him might have experienced all kinds of things in the world like his teacher in his long life, and his usual cynicism was just a mask.
"Young apprentice, I never thought that one day I would teach a witch hunter to tell our history." The witch stood up from her soft collapse and snapped her fingers casually.
Xu Yichen keenly found that the entire space was full of astringent feeling, as if the air was heavy. The samurai Vitoria seemed to have been lit with a hole, standing stiffly in front of the shelf, holding the cat's model in her hand.
"What did you do?" Xu Yichen came cautiously to drive the distance and prepare for battle.
"Relax, young apprentice, the conversation between us is not suitable for others to hear. I just blocked her perception. When we finish speaking, she would not even feel the passage of this period of time." The witch waved her hand and signaled Xu Yichen to be calm.
"Since the ancient period of the intersection of the celestial spheres, our world has begun to be eroded by chaos, not only in the material world, but also on the soul level." The witch poured two cups of pink hot drinks for himself and Xu Yichen.
"Taste, this is the rose dew I made myself." The witch pushed the teacup in front of Xu Yichen and continued: "Some people are born sensitive than other people. From childhood, they will show unique talents."
"In the past, they were called warlocks, witches. Now, they called us the sons of disasters." The witch's voice seemed even more ethereal in the heat.
"Because we are more sensitive to power than others, we are more susceptible to the temptation of chaos." The witch seemed to be recalling a painful memory, even her voice was a little distorted: "So powerful power is within reach, without sweat or blood, just indulging ourselves, you can get it."
"Many people fell down because of this, defected to chaos, and became slaves of desire. In the end, those who longed for blood were bathed in their own blood, those who were addicted to lust became neither male nor female, those who hoped for eternal life were turned into a pool of meat paste that never died, and those who were good at calculating were thrown into an endless maze of conspiracy and lost themselves forever. Evil gods always liked to see this kind of drama being performed." After the witch finished this passage, she was silent for a while, and Xu Yichen did not interrupt her.
"Some people resisted temptation and began to study the essence of chaos in hatred. But their kind of people caused too much harm to the world and would never be forgiven." The witch suddenly raised her head: "But those innocent children, those who have just awakened, have not done anything yet, and should not bear such sin!"
Speaking of this, the witch paused for a moment. Xu Yichen could feel the witch peeking at her reaction through the hood.
"I understand you. War always involves innocent people." Xu Yichen organized the language: "But since you hope I can help you protect a few innocent children you say, you'd better introduce the black ship that will appear next in the most objective language."
"Even the innocent people nowadays may become a window of chaos." The apprentice of the Demon Hunter said with a stern murderous intention: "In my hometown, I would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go!"
The witch held the hand on the soft collapse and clenched it slightly: "You are indeed Gangze's apprentice, and you always seem inhumane in the face of big troubles."
"The black ship is the large sea ship used by Sisters of the Heart of the Reincarnation to transport the newly awakened seeds between the old and new continents. This is what they call us, seeds, as if we are all alchemy bombs that are about to explode." The witch's tone revealed a strong hostility.
"Tell me about this Sisters of the Heart of the Reincarnation." Xu Yichen's tone as if he was interrogating a prisoner made the witch snort lightly.
"The Sisters of the Heart of the Reincarnation, every time they appear, they are filled with great fear, walking in the world in the name of the Witch King, searching for all the seeds of new awakening." When the Witch introduced this organization, there was a hint of tremolo in his voice: "The Kings of the Witch Kings are the rulers of the New World and the masters of the Sisters."
"The terrifying Witch Kings, after the Chaos Erosion Incident, recruited those women with hatred in their hearts, trained the most talented of them to become silent nuns, drove the black giant ship, and offered enough seeds to the Witch King."
"They burned countless innocent people, most of them children and young people, to death in the Witch King's square, and dedicated their strength to the Witch King in the name of protecting the world from erosion by chaos." When the witch said this, she paused: "What I need your protection is the three children who were caught on the black ship."
Xu Yichen looked at the witch with an idiot's eyes: "Although I don't know what kind of power the Nun Silent and the Witch King behind them are, from the things they do, although they are a bit cruel, but from a macro perspective, it is not a mistake. Moreover, I can't do what you said alone."
The witch took a deep breath: "They are definitely different from the camp of the Demon Hunter! They are not on the same side as everyone else. The only one in their mind is the Witch King! I don't need you to break through the defense of the black ship. We have enough people to act. The day after tomorrow, the black ship will arrive at Anthony Harbor for supplies. I need you to help us hide those three children after the matter is completed, for one month!"
"Don't be busy rejecting me. Besides your stolen goods, I have something you can't refuse!" Before Xu Yichen spoke, the witch stretched out her slender fingers, and something like a necklace hanging down.
The same thing as the [incomplete pendant] in Xu Yichen’s hand!
"I believe you are very interested in this thing. In addition, our witch will always have a good relationship with the moderates among the Demon Hunters. You can verify this like your teacher." The witch's hurrying tone made Xu Yichen sure that she had no other choice except herself.
I'm afraid that if I don't come to her to sell stolen goods this time, the witch will come to her on her own initiative.
More importantly, a prompt from the system:
"Witch's Request": The witch's sudden request made you fall into deep thought. One side is a witch who cooperates well, and the other is a powerful enemy that you have never contacted before. After the experienced Sir Gangze left, you were caught off guard. Should you help the forces represented by the witch? (Note that the choice in this mission will affect your camp relationship, please make a careful choice)
Difficulty: Unknown (updated after making a choice)
Task Reward: Unknown (updated after making a choice)
Xu Yichen did not expect that the task given by the witch would involve camp choices. Obviously, the witches represented by the witches and the Sisters of the Heart of the Reincarnation represented by the Black Ship, Xu Yichen must choose one side as an ally and be hostile to the other side.
