Chapter 334: The Dark Chronicles (Part 2)
After a few seconds, Marianne let go of her mouth, leaving a row of tiny tooth marks on Gu Yun's hand.
It was obvious that, at least in terms of bite force, the Witch of Dusk was no match for a werewolf vampire, and even if Gu Yun didn't use his spiritual power, he couldn't bite his skin this time.
The reason for not using mental power is very simple, he and Marianne are also acquaintances, there is no need to burst her teeth out, and it will not be very decent to look bloody when the time comes.
However, in this back and forth, Gu Yun also figured out one thing.
The Marianne he met at this tavern was not the witch who later re-established the Witches' Society and drove the Winchester family to a dead end, but an exile who had recently been plotted by Grimm, robbed of the Grimm's Codex, and had no place to live.
In the course of real history, after the defeat of Marianne, witches were persecuted like never before, whether good or evil, tying women suspected of witches to a stake and burning them to death became a carnival for the whole people, so as to achieve the purification of their hearts.
However, when the Black Box was on the plane, other parts of the decontamination campaign were also mentioned.
The witch society founded by Marianne was destroyed, but at the same time, apothecaries, mediums, and any women who knew the fur of spells were persecuted, and in a hundred years, more than 100,000 "witches" were executed, far more than they had been killed or injured in a large-scale battle.
"I'm no match for you, do it."
Marianne stiffened her neck and said, in fact, she was subdued before she could see Gu Yun's trajectory at all just now, she felt that even if she was in her heyday, she might not be able to win Gu Yun.
She has no fear of death.
The riches of being impaled through the heart by Greene Winchester convinced Marianne of the authenticity of the chapters of life in the Grimomy.
Although death will greatly deplete her magic, as long as she can live, she will be able to take revenge on the Winchesters sooner or later.
"I'm not the one who came to take your life, and you've helped me a lot after centuries."
Gu Yun directly identified his identity, and Marianne should soon be able to judge the authenticity of his words and deeds.
Finding Marianne was a bonus, and she should know Count Dracula very well.
"...... centuries later"
Although this may sound like a fantasy, Marianne did read the spell of time and space in the Grimoire, and she guessed that if she mastered both, she might indeed be able to transcend time.
"You're here to help me?"
"Not exactly, centuries from now you're looking for the whereabouts of the Dusk Grimoire, and there are a lot of people who want to find the whereabouts of the Grimoire Fragments."
"Someone divided the tome into several parts...... It was Green Winchester who did it, right? ”
Gu Yun was noncommittal, "He is constantly looking for someone who can crack the pages of the book, and the part about space and earth was given by him to the last empress of the ancient Egyptian dynasty, and it is said that the part of life and matter was handed over to Count Dracula." ”
"Count Dracula?"
Marianne was stunned, "You know the sickly and taciturn vampire?" ”
She immediately thought of the other person's appearance.
At the height of the Witch Society, the vampire and werewolf clans often invited her to inter-clan meetings.
Historically, both vampires and werewolves have a longer history than witches, and before she established the Witch Society, werewolves and vampires had already divided into many ancient and well-known tribes, many of which have been hidden among human societies, controlling politics and people's hearts as conglomerates.
As a well-known member of the vampires, Count Dracula naturally receives an invitation to the meeting every time.
It's just that compared to big families like Brando, Count Dracula can only be regarded as a small character, and Marianne only has some impression of this taciturn middle-aged man, and the other party barely speaks in several meetings, just sits and listens silently to the opinions of others about the division of power.
It is said that Dracula was a nobleman somewhere, owned a castle, and willingly became one of the vampires in order to gain immortality, and after becoming a vampire, he has been living in isolation.
"Hmph, it's true that Green can only go to find some small characters."
At the mention of Grimm, Marianne hated it, "If he takes the Grimm to Brando or the Edwards, there will be no bones left." ”
Whether it is a vampire or a werewolf, there is a feud between a witch and a witcher, no witcher has ever been able to come out of their territory alive, and among the witchers, there are many people who are stronger than Green-Winchester.
The Brandos and Edwards would never have collaborated with Grimm, they would just kill him and take the Codex for themselves.
"In your time, Greena...... Is it still alive? ”
"Should still be alive."
"Then I must still be tracking his whereabouts."
Marianne's attitude was very certain, although she was dressed in a holy nun's dress, the expression between her eyebrows was exactly the same as when Gu Yun first saw her.
This is a woman who can remember grudges for hundreds of years.
However, Gu Yun admired her attitude, this will never give up is the shortcut to the road to the strong.
"Why are you dressed like this here when you still have a business to finish? Could it be that you are planning to infiltrate the church? ”
"Didn't you make me dress like this!"
Speaking of this, Marianne blushed and turned her face to the other side uncomfortably.
Many of the tavern guests have a wide range of hobbies, and witchers who like nuns can only be regarded as a very common type, and when Marianne came here, she found that many witchers even had a strong interest in foreign creatures such as succubi and banshees.
And this is also the perfect place for her to inquire about information.
News of her death had already spread, and the Holy See could not have predicted that the Witch of Dusk would be hiding under its nose.
"Although my magic has been depleted, it is still easy to control their minds with spells."
In particular, the witchers who came to the guest room were usually very anxious, and it was easy to put the magic bag in the other party's pocket, and after the spell took effect, she had a lot of eyeliner that could freely enter and leave the Holy See and the Witcher's Guild.
Of course, she couldn't stay in the tavern forever, as one day the witchers noticed their colleague's anomaly and found the magic bag.
And her real purpose is to inquire about the whereabouts of Green Winchester.
Now that Green has become a hero in the eyes of the people, there must be a witcher who knows where he has gone.
Finding Grimm, retrieving the Grimm, and then fleeing to an isolated place to restore her magic is Marianne's short-term plan for herself.
It's just that......
"Since you're here, it means I haven't been able to find Green."
"When you found him later, he had faked his death, and you only got his skull."
"So I want you to help me retrieve the Grimoire...... I can't believe that in the future, I will tell others about the existence of the Magic Codex. ”
Marianne thought that she would not trust anyone anymore, but judging from Gu Yun's attitude when she talked to her, her future self seemed to tell him a lot about herself.
Why isn't she afraid that this person will steal the Grimome like Green Winchester in the future?
No one can resist the spells recorded in the Tomei.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but have a strong interest in Gu Yun - what is so unusual about this person?
"Let me ask you first, what do you think of the Grimoire?"
"A real powerhouse doesn't need these bells and whistles."
Gu Yun's eyes did not squint, and he had an awe-inspiring aura, "Your time spell has been cracked by me, and it is not too late for you to come and fight me again when you learn all the spells in the magic book." ”
Although she had long been accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, Gu Yun's words still stunned her.
This man did not hesitate to travel through the ages to help her find the fragments of the Grimoire......
Just to fight her?
What kind of person is this!
