"Yes." Makad Bell's tone became indifferent again, "She's a very talented witch, and she showed extraordinary magical talent at a very young age. She has a strong curiosity and desire to learn about all kinds of magic, whether it is ancestral magic or other magic. She had come into contact with some of the witches of the past, and had received some special spells from them. ”

"She always has a temperament that makes people involuntarily close to and have a good feeling for her. The elders of the witches here are optimistic about her, and she has many friends among her peers. If that hadn't happened, no one would have seen the other side of her. She lured five of her witch friends of the same age into the ritual and killed them. ”

"She's got power?" Tang Bai said with interest.

Tang Bai is no stranger to this kind of ritual. It's not just something in the world of vampires. In Harry's world, and even in the Caribbean, sacrifices are everywhere. Especially in the Caribbean world, it is not difficult to find sacrifices.

In essence, the Golden Cup and the Fountain of Youth, in the Caribbean world, are also a kind of sacrifice. A sacrificial ritual in which a golden cup and fountain of youth, as well as mermaid tears, deprive one person of his life and graft it onto another.

There are also tribes and peoples such as cannibals, gypsies, and Greeks, and there is no shortage of various rituals.

In Tang Bai's view, the sacrifice is similar to a kind of exchange, paying the sacrifice, and then according to the sacrifice, some existence in the underworld will give back what the sacrificer wants. Just from the word "sacrifice" on the sacrifice, it is very clear what kind of ritual it is.

It was a ritual that required sacrifice.

"The sacrificial ritual was a success. She got her wish and got the strength. The corners of Makad Bell's lips twitched and she replied, "The power that would make the witch elders fearful." ”

"So your witch elders forgave her?" Tang Bai felt as if he was listening to a story now.

"The elders didn't forgive her, but the elders who didn't forgive her paid the price. They bear witness to the power that Lilia has gained. Makad Bell said with a sad face.

"She's just for power?" Tang Bai asked. If it's purely for power, Lilia doesn't seem to be difficult to woo and woo.

According to her, she didn't want to see witches being bullied by vampires and werewolves again. She believes that witches should and should have a place in this city. It's not just a place to live, it's power, status, status, and so on. ”

Makad Bell's tone unconsciously brought a touch of complexity: "It's not easy to achieve this. The vampires have been trying to drive us and the werewolves out of the city, time and time again. Since the city was founded, more than one battle has broken out between our three parties. ”

"Werewolves are very evasive, they have a more sensitive sense of smell than vampires, and they can always sniff out the number of vampires and where they are. Then choose to attack, or evade. In the battle against the vampires, we witches did not have the upper hand either. ”

"When several sides of a battle are tired and bored, it's time to walk hand in hand to the negotiating table. At the initiative of Progenitor Klaus, we have established the Balance of the Supernatural Creatures Council here. Vampires, werewolves, witches, and humans, are all on this council. The original purpose of this committee was to settle disputes between various supernatural beings and humans. ”

"Of course, the two sides of humanity and the vampires represented by the progenitor Klaus are overwhelmingly proportional in the committee. In many cases, the combination of the two parties is sufficient to exercise the vast majority of the Commission's powers. Lilia was not reconciled to this. She is not willing to let everything be dominated by humans and vampires. ”

"The 'careerist' of witches." Tang Bai smiled and defined Lilia, whom she had never met. The reason why the word ambition is particularly accentuated is only because there are other meanings in it. A common one can be said to be a careerist, and a better one can be crowned with an idealist.

"I think those followers of hers were also recruited and co-opted by her with this argument, right?" Tang Bai concluded.

Since the Middle Ages, witches who have survived centuries of massacres have mostly adhered to the unspoken rules of huddling and helping each other. Especially for witches who rely on ancestral magic to have the ability to cast spells, because of the special surname of the region, this kind of grouping and mutual assistance behavior will be more intense.

In this case, it is rare for another witch to sabotage or participate in another witch's event for no reason. As for slaughtering wizards, there are even fewer wizards to do. That Lilia, after killing her five companions, still has a witch follower, apparently because of her philosophy, or an excuse, that fits the thoughts and wishes of some witches.

"Yes." Makad Bell replied.

"Lilia and Klaus have a good relationship?" Tang Bai asked a question he cared about. If Lilia is Klaus's unwavering supporter, then Tang Bai may have to get rid of her in order not to let Lilia become an obstacle to his plan.

Anyway, from Makad Bell's words, it can be heard that the witches of New Orleans are faintly divided into two factions. One faction is led by Lilia, and the other is an old-school witch like Makard Bell. It's a simple matter of co-opting one faction and suppressing another. Moreover, the followers on Lilia's side, after killing the uncooperative Lilia, as long as they spend some effort and promise some benefits, it is not difficult to subdue some of them.

Klaus promised Lilia that the witch's affairs would be handled by Lilia. And in favor of elevating the status and status of witches in the upper class. Lilia went out of her way to help Klaus when he needed help. Makad Bell closed his eyes in resignation and replied.

Tang Bai clapped his hands when he heard this, stood up from the ground, and asked the last question to Makad Bell on the ground: "After listening to the story, Lilia and I have more or less understood a part. Then I should go and talk to her face-to-face. Last question, where is the Lilia you are talking about? Where can I find her? ”

"In a bar in the French Quarter. She moved out early and she has a big house of her own in the French Quarter. When she has nothing to do, she usually spends time in both places. Makard Bell said, giving Tang Bai the name of a bar, and the location of the house where Lilia lived. (To be continued.) )
