Chapter 3807 The City of Desires
"Little Witch's NPC information..."
Angel didn't know how to evaluate it for a moment.
Just from the introduction, you can imagine the drama of "Original Sin". A jealous magician launched a vigorous "witch hunt" against a family with a special bloodline.
The little witch is the only survivor of this witch hunt.
She fled from the city of desire to the modern city, and only then escaped death.
But this does not mean that the witch hunt is over. Once the identity of the little witch is exposed, it will probably lead to another bloody storm.
This is why even Kalyan is reluctant to mention the little witch's real name easily, because the only way to protect the little witch is to remain anonymous.
If such an information panel were to be seen by other people in Modern City, it would probably be a carnival.
But after Angel saw it... his mood didn't change at all.
The main thing is that he doesn't understand this bloodline at all. Moreover, even if this bloodline is very powerful, it is only the situation in the "dungeon". He doesn't know what is going on in reality, so it is difficult to have a personal experience.
However, purely from the NPC information, this little witch does hide a deep secret.
Whether it is the Cecilia family or the Dark Corner Witch, they are both worth exploring.
There is also the "City of Desires", which is also a key point. This is another new city.
The only pity is that although the little witch has side tasks, it currently shows that it cannot be completed.
Although this side quest can be triggered and accepted, since it cannot be completed, accepting it is equivalent to accepting it in vain.
However, from the name of the task and the information about the little witch, we can basically deduce why it "cannot be completed".
The mission is called "The Bloodline of the Witch", and the bloodline of the Cecilia family comes from the "Dark Corner Witch". A "Dark Corner" can explain everything.
According to the information that Angel retrieved from the Sea of ​​Power, "Dark Corner" is an independent and untriggered copy.
The "Bloodline of the Witch" is most likely to be explored in the "dark corners". Just like the mission "The Clown's Knot" also has the option of going to the dark corners to find the mysterious child, but because the dark corners have not been born, it is shown that it is impossible.
Finish.
Angel asked Kalyan to confirm his conjecture.
Kallen was surprised at first that Angel knew so much about the Cecilia family, but under the influence of the nightmare, he felt that everything was self-consistent and reasonable.
Kalyan: "According to rumors, the bloodline of the Little Witch family is indeed derived from the 'Dark Corner Witch', so if you want to trace the origin of this bloodline, you may have to go to the Dark Corner."
"But the dark corner is very hidden. No one knows how to get to the dark corner..."
Angel nodded. He didn't know how to get to the dark corner in the modern modern city in reality. But in the Dream Crystal, as long as the preconditions for the dark corner are triggered and the dark corner comes, you can go to the dark corner.
horn.
However, Angel is not sure what the triggering conditions are at the moment. He only speculates that it may be related to the former "Precious Knight".
However, these are not the focus of this discussion.
Angel thought for a while and then asked: "What kind of existence is the Dark-Horned Witch?"
Kallen pondered for a long time before he organized his words and said: "The Dark Corner Witch is not the kind of heinous 'witch' in the novels and TV dramas. It is just a name for the humanoid creatures that come out of the dark corners.
.”
As far as Kallen knew, occasionally humanoid creatures would come out of dark corners.
They are collectively known as "dark corner people".
Darkhorns who appear to be male are called Darkhorn Witches, and those who appear to be female are called Darkhorn Witches.
As for the nature of the Dark-Horned People? Kalyan couldn't explain it clearly. He just said that they look like humans, but most of the time, underneath the human body are terrifying and evil unknown monsters.
Of course, it cannot be said that all of them are monsters, but at least 99% of them are monsters. In this case, even the dark cornered people who are still rational will still be put into the evil camp.
The bloodline source of Cecilia's family is said to be a Dark Corner Man.
When Kalyan told this content about the "Dark Corner Witch", there were many suspicious descriptions, including the nature of the Dark Corner Man, all in ambiguous language, because he didn't know the truth either.
However, Angel can give an answer to this point.
He had checked the information about Dark Corner before.
The information retrieved by the power clearly shows that humans occasionally appear in dark corners.
Therefore, these so-called dark corner people are also human beings. Most of them are human beings who accidentally entered the dark corner from the outside world and got lost, just like the former noble knight.
However, this piece of information was followed by a paragraph: "Humans occasionally appear in dark corners, but please do not believe them, because there is a high probability that their bodies have been occupied by unknown creatures."
Therefore, magicians are right to be wary of people in dark corners.
However, there is a high probability that the dark-corner person who can reproduce the Cecilia family is still a human being. Because if it is really an unknown creature, there will be no so-called reason at all, let alone the concept of family inheritance.
However, it is basically meaningless to discuss whether Cecilia's ancestors were human beings. After all, there is only one descendant left, the little witch.
Moreover, the little witch is also far away from the city of desire that made the Cecilia family bear the crime.
As long as she doesn't think about revenge, she should be able to live well in Modern City. After all, Modern City doesn't seem to have the concept of a "dark person".
Kalyan: "Modern City does not have the concept of Dark Corners, because Modern City belongs to the new city."
The City of Desire is an old city that has existed for thousands of years. Although the frequency of the appearance of Dark Corners is low, if the time scale is extended to a thousand years, there will always be a large number of records.
It is natural to organize these records and then define them as "dark corner people".
But Modern City is only a city established in the past few hundred years. Even if people in the dark corners appear, if the managers of Modern City do not systematically capture and record them, it will be difficult to form a large-scale study, and naturally there will be no corresponding
Records and definitions.
"This is also the reason why we chose to come to Modern City, just to prevent the little witch from making the same mistakes again."
The above is the explanation given by Kalyan.
Angel also agrees that Modern City may not have formed a large-scale research and definition, but it is still very concerned about the "dark corner people", and the capture has not stopped.
Isn't the mysterious child in the mission "Joker's Knot" the Dark Man? It was precisely because of the Fashion Guild's capture of him that Sisley's tragedy...
Angel: "So, you are indeed not a local force in Modern City?"
Kallen nodded: "We come from the City of Desires."
To be precise, some of the senior officials of the Hermit Society came from the City of Desire. And these senior officials did not exceed the number of two palms.
As for the clear-eyed employees that Angel saw in the headquarters, some were locals, and the other were recruited by Kalyan on the way to the modern city.
"Can we talk about the City of Desire? I'm very interested in this city." Angel looked at Kalyan.
When Kallen mentioned the City of Desire before, it was very natural, and it seemed that the knowledge was not "shielded" by the power of the fairyland. This made Angel aroused his desire to investigate.
However, when Angel formally asked for information about the "City of Desires", Kalyan was obviously stuck like those before.
As soon as Angel saw this, he understood that it would be difficult to get the answer.
As expected, Kallen shook his head and said softly: "Since we left the City of Desire, we have been determined to abandon the memories of the past..."
After saying this, Kallen seemed to think that this was what they really thought.
But Angel understood that this was most likely a forced setting given by the power of the fairyland.
This is not because the powers in the fairyland are deliberately making things difficult for Angel.
As for the power of Wonderland, the copy of Modern City is only within the scope of Modern City, and other cities have not been "captured" and have not formed copies, only some marginal information.
If you really want to ask for specific information, you don't know the power of the fairyland, so naturally there is no way to reveal it.
Unless the power of the fairyland happens to capture the dream of "The City of Desires" next time and form a corresponding copy. Otherwise, it is currently very difficult to tell the information about the City of Desires.
Of course it's not completely impossible.
If there is a "Dream NPC" in this copy, then you can get information from him. However, Angel has not discovered the Dream NPC in Modern City yet.
Although Kalyan said that he had abandoned the past, he still answered some "basic" questions.
The City of Desire is a city dominated by desire.
The indulgent faction, the abstinent faction and the ascetic faction are the three major camps in this city. And Kalyan and others, including the little witch, all belong to the abstinent faction.
The sensuality and asceticism are very simple to understand, they are literal meanings. The abstinence sect refers to the faction that advocates moderate control and regulation of desires.
They acknowledge that the existence of desires is human nature, but believe that desires cannot be indulged without restraint, but that partial desires should be selectively satisfied based on one's own circumstances, moral principles and social values.
