Chapter 104: The Witch of Twilight (Part 3)
Regardless of the outcome of this battle, the Society's actions in City X have been declared defeated.
Marianne Cessia single-handedly created the Society, and no one knows the witches better than her, and when the mystery is revealed, their vulnerability is exposed.
It's just that she never expected that in a country where there were no witchers, the association would fall into such a situation.
The successive victories that swept through Europe and severed the bloodline of the witcher family seemed to have carried her away, making Marianne ignore the existence of other equally powerful forces in the world.
"At this moment, my sisters are evacuating here."
From the darkness came the whispers of Marianne, who had no intention of fighting the merfolk in the city, and that it had never been a witch's tradition to fight to the death.
"But this person alone ......!"
Sensing the abnormality of the space, Gu Yunshan took a step back, but Marianne's right hand was already on his forehead, "This is the secret of the Winchester clan." ”
The next moment, the scene turned.
The moment Gu Yun regained consciousness, a strong smell of blood came to his nose.
The artificial lake and the park's paths are missing, and the shadows of the trees are mottled to the eyes, outside the ancient church, dusk is approaching, corpses are piled up on the trail, most of them are witchers, there are no obvious wounds on their bodies, but they all vomit blood and die, compared to the corpses of witches are not so "elegant", the corpses are all over the sword wounds without exception, and there are several swords in the vital places.
"Phew, Grimm, the witch is finally dead."
The man in chain mail, covered in wounds, stood in front of the flower bed in front of the church, his shadow stretched long in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the man slammed his sword and pestle on the ground, his body shaky.
Not far in front of him, Gu Yun saw Marianne, her appearance had hardly changed, but at this time, her heart had been pierced by a long sword, her body was suspended and nailed to the statue of the Holy Son in the center of the flower bed, and her amber eyes had lost focus.
This scene couldn't help but remind Gu Yun of the legend mentioned by Shen Yue.
At the end of "The Witch of Twilight", Marianne Secia is pierced through the heart by Green Winchester's sword, and thus the Witch of Twilight, which has shrouded the darkness of an era, has finally come to an end.
"yes."
Green Winchester stared at Marianne's corpse, "There's one last thing left, though......"
The hand rises, and the sword falls.
……
NMD, why!
Aren't you two companions!?
Seeing the moment when his companion's chest was pierced by Green, Gu Yun's expression was even more shocked than Green's.
It seems that he did not expect Green to fight back from behind, and his companion did not have the slightest defense.
Gu Yun rushed forward and tried to push Green away, but his hands went straight through the latter's body. Green Winchester drew his sword expressionlessly, blood splattered, and his companion's eyes widened and his mouth open, but he couldn't say a word.
"Don't blame me, I'm old, and I have to think more about my future."
After saying this, Green walked towards the church without looking back.
Turning the Tide –
"Now, you get the idea."
His vision was clear again, and Gu Yun found Marianne Sesia standing quietly in front of him.
Witnessing the death of the Witch of Dusk, Gu Yun's face was full of shock, he never expected that the legend about the Witch of Twilight would have such a hidden secret, so that he trembled and pointed to the incredibly beautiful woman in front of him-"You, could it be that you are pretending to be Green Winchester!?" ”
Marianne:......
Gu Yun: ......
No matter what, it is really unacceptable for an old man with a gutter nose who is more than half a hundred years old to suddenly become a peerless beauty.
Gu Yun admitted that he was frightened.
Even when he faced several dangerous monsters alone outside the village, he was not so panicked as he is now.
This strong drop directly caused him physical discomfort.
"You...... Isn't it boring? ”
Marianne narrowed her eyes, trying to keep her smile on her face, but she forced out a smiling expression.
She didn't know if this was Gu Yun's conclusion after careful consideration or if she was deliberately angry with herself, but there was no doubt that his goal had been achieved.
Thank you, I was angry.
Green Winchester, is the only one she feels sick to her stomach just by thinking about it.
"But everyone died except Green, and he was the only one who survived!"
Gu Yun analyzed it very rigorously, such a bizarre thing as resurrection from the dead had never happened even in their village, so it could be asserted that the real Marianne was dead, and the person in front of her must be someone impostor, the most likely of which was Green Winchester, who had gone through everything.
When you think of the weirdness of witchcraft, even if you change your appearance and gender, you can't understand it!
But......
If Green was disguised as Marianne, whose skull was on the bench?
For a while, Gu Yun fell into a deep confusion.
"It was inevitable that he would survive, because his purpose from the beginning was the Dusk Grimoire."
Marianne gritted her teeth and said, on the one hand, Green Winchester's name aroused her anger, and on the other hand, Gu Yun's guess was too annoying.
This man is a fool, right?
Actually spread rumors that she was pretended to be Green Winchester!
"However, even if he finally obtained the Twilight Grimoire and successfully deceived the Winchester people by feigning his death, he was unable to find the spell that led to eternal life."
So, Green Winchester ended up dying like an ordinary old man.
"It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to see him before he died, and I lost this opportunity forever."
"Wait a minute, I'll sort it out." Gu Yunbi made a gesture of pause, "In other words, you are really Marianne Sescia, the Witch of the Twilight." ”
"Hmm."
"This skull is the remains of Green Winchester."
"That's right."
There was another long silence, and the two just looked at each other.
The rain never stopped.
The rain drenched Gu Yun's hair and also soaked Marianne's robe.
"No, aren't you dead?"
"I did die once."
The glint in Marianne's eyes was even greater, "Thanks to that old thing, it was he who made me realize that true immortality is not just eternal youth, and that it is inevitable that he will not be able to find spells from the Twilight Grimoire...... That's because, the secret of eternal life, was never recorded in it from the beginning. ”
But at the same time, Marianne was very unwilling.
She can stand being called a witch by the people, but she can't stand the fact that they have passed on a sinister villain who backstabbed her companion as a hero.
And in order to reverse all this, she needs the knowledge recorded in the Grimoire of Dusk.
Marianne was sure that Greene Winchester hadn't ruined the Grimoire and had hidden it somewhere.
"So, I want to reconnect with his soul, and there's only one way to fulfill my long-cherished wish."
Her seductive eyes stared at Gu Yun, and there seemed to be an irresistible temptation mixed with them, "You'll help me, right?" ”
Although the Witches' Society has failed, she has found a pawn that can help her wish come true.
The magic bag was placed in the pocket on the inside of Gu Yun's clothes at this moment.
And her spell is about to take effect.
