Chapter 141 The Witch
Witch, this is a shuddering title. Perhaps for ordinary people, this name can only remind them of the fairy tales their mothers used to scare them when they were young, or an ugly old woman living nearby.
.However, in fact, for spellcasters like Cheese, the group that witches refer to is not just female spellcasters. People in this world may spend their entire lives and rarely encounter those who walk in common sense.
The existence between and darkness, but
There are also a small number of people who, due to some kind of fateful coincidence or unfortunate encounter, stepped into the place where dusk and night meet as ordinary people. Some of them died, some went crazy, and only a very few.
People still have limited
They escaped from that terrible world with their own reason, but the few words they brought back were regarded as dreams by those who had never experienced it. The witch was one of the many terrible legends brought back from the edge of nightmares.
.
The world is unfair. Although there are many "gifted" people among humans, perhaps the truth of the world is too cruel for normal creatures. Among all known races, there are not many beings who can simply
They can step into the door of truth by relying on their own innate abilities. There may be many people who can use a certain degree of magic after receiving correct guidance and training, but this does not mean that they are really loved by the world.
, or, being excluded from the scope of the truth and lingering in endless chaos is the real kindness of this world. And since I said that most creatures are born ignorant, naturally there are some things that are born to see this.
The world is real. A small part of them are enshrined as gods, and most of the rest either exist in places that we cannot touch in our lifetime, or are things more terrifying than the deepest nightmares.
"This is the essence of witches. They are not human beings, although they have human shells, although they look like humans, feel like humans, and even taste like humans. But they really are not any existence that we understand."
Si sat on the bar on the first floor of "Red Blood" and said with a glass of mead in his hand. There is no doubt that since the mage is still here, it seems that he has accepted the "One-Eye" deal.
Except for the mage who was talking, the only ones left in the tavern were "One Eye" sitting next to him and the shadow on the other side of the bar. As for the other drinkers who were drinking here, they all stopped after seeing their boss's gesture.
Knowingly, he left his seat and protected the entire "Red Blood". Sparrow had already left out of boredom not long after Cheese went upstairs.
"I have seen them before, but with all due respect, they look more like ordinary people than you, a guy with bright eyes." "One Eye" lifted up the lower part of the mask and drank the special mixture prepared by Shadow for him.
Mixed wine, said. And perhaps because the voice-changing device is placed in the mask, the underground leader's voice is much more vivid than before.
"It's just that they don't need it. We so-called spellcasters need to rely on various other means to guide us when using magic, but they don't need it. Even most witches don't understand what magic is, because we
Things that seem normal to them are as normal as breathing. Do you understand?" Cheese took another sip of wine and said.
"Is it so scary? But according to what you said, aren't they omnipotent?" Shadow asked doubtfully. Since he is also a member of this upcoming visit, he must also add more information about the object of this visit.
knowledge.
"It depends on how you define omnipotence. Maybe they can't make the earth turn upside down or the waterfall flow backward. But when they look at you, your life is in their hands. If they
If I get something like your nails or blood, then even if you escape to the end of the world
Horns, protected by all gods and demons, will die according to their ideas." Cheese said, "As I said before, don't try to use common sense to speculate on witches, they are not us, they do not have human thoughts, because what they see
They are different, so their way of thinking is completely incomprehensible to us.”
"Is it so dangerous? I thought they would only make some strange objects and keep adding strange things to the soup pot." Hearing what Cheese said, even "One-Eyed" was a little confused. As a person who successfully obtained the gift from a witch,
His understanding of witches at that time was basically based on the horrific legends in the countryside, and when he saw those so-called witches, he even doubted the credibility of those legends.
"Haha, the danger of witches may be more terrifying to ordinary people than the plague. However, there are also many witches who are not very interested in destroying the world. Many offensive behaviors of ordinary people are not a problem in their eyes. This
This is also the main reason why I agreed to go with you. Judging from the situation that you are still alive after stealing their things, those witches may be considered the type with good tempers." Cheese said.
"Besides, didn't I ask you how many there are there?"
"How many of them are there and whether they are dangerous?" Shadow asked.
"Three is a perfect number. Especially for witches, it usually means girls, women and old women." Cheese held out three fingers and replied, "Look carefully at their appearance, you can basically tell them apart.
The three-person witch group will basically follow this rule, although the appearance they show depends on their mood. This combination should have
It is the safest among the known witch structures. The old woman will lead the team to avoid unnecessary trouble, which means that no one nearby will be stupid enough to actively harm them. The woman can appease the remaining two witches and prevent them from getting angry.
Do something terrible. As for the girl... we just need to remember not to make any moves or intentions to harm her."
"Are they relatives?" "One Eye" heard something else from the cheese's words. Since this combination has existed for a long time, it means that many witches exist in this form.
, if they also reproduce like humans, then blood relationship is the best explanation for the emergence of this combination.
"You guessed it right. In most cases, the three witches who act together are relatives. However, some are formed after birth. There are many reasons for this. In fact, in addition to this form, there are many kinds of witch groups.
existence. As far as I know, the most powerful witch group once occupied an entire country and ruled for a hundred years." Cheese said.
"What happened to them?" Shadow was curious. According to Cheese, witches were so powerful, and since they had already occupied a country, it was hard to imagine what other force could defeat their rule.
"Later? Then they all died. The price of having incomparable power is that the lifespan of witches is relatively short. When a witch group has no successors, it is only a matter of time before it disappears into the darkness again." After the mage finished speaking, he finished his drink.
