148. Unsuccessful sacrifice
In order to correct Gallo's misconceptions, the old bishop had to seriously talk to him about the witch sect.
This sect has a very long history, dating back to the time of the ancient gods and gods, and they do not believe in gods or nature, but in the founder of the sect, the demigod Tisina, known as the 'Witch of Fate'.
No one knows what the first profession of this Witch of Destiny was, she was already a witch when she was known, so she was also called the 'Ancestral Witch' and 'Primordial Witch'.
Mysterious and powerful, it is said that she once received a part of the authority of 'fate', and can see through a person's future destiny and pluck the strings of his fate, so it can be said that she is only one step away from becoming a god.
And the authority of fate is also the most mysterious and special of the many authorities, such as there is no 'god of fate' today, which means that no god has the authority in this field so far.
Therefore, there are many people who believe that the power of fate is held in their own hands by the Creator, or that it has simply been destroyed so that no being can touch it, and it seems that only this Witch of Fate has the privilege of glimpsing its mysteries.
It's a pity that she fell in the melee of the gods that year, no one knows who did it, and it is not clear what the role of the witch sect played in that melee, perhaps just like other small sects, struggling to survive in the aftermath of the melee.
But there are also those who believe that she has not completely fallen, but exists in a special way, and can continue to shelter the witches who believe in her and save their fate, so that this small sect can survive to this day.
As for today's Witch Sect, it is not like a sect, but more like a secret society, they have neither an open church nor a mission, and they are more low-key than the Miya Sect, and more secretive than the cult.
And their members are all hard-working women, women who have fallen into the dust, poor girls who are in prison, etc., and after being rescued by other witches, they joined the sect.
Of course, such an organization can't do anything earth-shattering, and generally can hear their news, that is, they go to be juniors, destroy other people's marriage contracts and happiness, which leads to their bad reputation and reputation, but they can't reach the level of a cult.
And the world's impression of witches is to stay at the level of beauty, affection, openness, and prodigality.
But the old bishop has a little bit of his own opinion on this:
"They don't actually want to be juniors, they just succumb to the so-called 'fate'..."
"After they join the sect, if they pray sincerely, they will receive the revelation of the Witch of Destiny, guiding them to find the so-called 'happiness', that is, marrying a good family and spending the rest of their lives in peace, which is already the greatest happiness for those women who have a bad fate."
"This kind of guidance is generally reliable, some witches really find 'happiness' and have a good death, but this guidance itself does not consider the issue of timeliness, so sometimes it is found, and as a result, other people's children can play soy sauce..."
Lilian Lo, who was on the side, listened to it, and then fell into Gallo's arms, rubbing it constantly, not knowing what she wanted to express...
Gallo, on the other hand, played with her double ponytail and asked curiously:
"Didn't you say before that this witch sect is very mysterious and unknown? But how do you know them so well? ”
"Ahem!"
The old bishop hurriedly coughed twice and defended:
"That's because I'm very knowledgeable, of course."
Gallo believed, because the old bishop never lied.
So he turned around and asked:
"Then why would such a sect assassinate the envoy? Is there their 'happiness'? ”
This is a question that even a knowledgeable old bishop can't answer...
It turned out that Gallo asked himself:
"Ahh By the way, is it because of this? ”
As he spoke, he pulled out the special hairpin from his sleeve.
Lilian Roselle was immediately attracted by it, stared at the hairpin with her eyes, and sighed softly in her mouth:
"It's so beautiful..."
As he spoke, he looked at Gallo again, looking very wanting.
But Gallo handed the hairpin to the old bishop, and comforted him:
"This style is too mature for you."
"You're still more suitable for bows, cat ear hairpins or something, and I'll take you to the street to buy them when I have time to go back."
Lilian Rose was really coaxed, and she happily rubbed Gallo's chin.
And the old bishop took the hairpin and looked at it carefully for a long time, but he couldn't see the reason.
"Do you want to sell it?"
Gallo suggested.
The old bishop shook his head and persuaded:
"The things that will be kept by the envoy must have some way to come, it's very hot, and it's not easy to shoot..."
"It's better to put a precious item like this with unknown origin and unknown purpose..."
Without him having to finish his sentence, Gallo took back his intentions, hurried under the statue of the goddess, put the hairpin on it, and prayed reverently:
"Miya-sama, I found you a beautiful hairpin, you will like it, right?"
He was full of joy waiting for the goddess's response and gift, and he was still wondering what kind of artifact the goddess would give him this time.
It's better to have a Gaia memory, a belt or something...
Gallo longed for it in his heart.
However, he prayed for a long time, but the goddess did not respond, and the hairpin was still placed there in good shape.
Instead, the small wooden hammer in his sleeve flew out of his own and struck him on the head.
"Ouch yo!"
It seems that the goddess is not only unhappy, but also a little angry?
Gallo hurriedly took the hairpin back and returned to the old bishop with a bitter face.
As a result, as soon as he got close to the old bishop, the sea urchin necklace around his neck also flew up on its own, and it also hit the old bishop's head.
"Ah!!h
"Miya-sama is angry, and I won't dare to do it again!"
The old bishop used magic to stop the bleeding for himself, and at the same time confessed, still muttering in his heart:
Why should I be punished?
In short, this time the garbage-for-artifact plan was declared bankrupt...
"So what are you going to do with this thing? Is it for the nerd? ”
Gallo said, thinking about the way Misheran didn't wear this hairpin...
emmmm, it doesn't seem to be a good match? Because her hair is silver, it is not very distinguishable from the white hairpin...
So, Lieutenant Wentiny?
Gallo thought about it again, but shook his head.
Wentini has always worn a sheriff's uniform, heroic, wearing a flower, and nondescript.
As for Lilian Lo, as I said before, it is not suitable for this style of ornament.
"Amiya?"
Gallo's gaze couldn't help but fall on the little donkey who was still knitting a sweater next to him.
Amiya heard her master call to herself and looked up.
"Come, come, give you a flower."
Gallo said, handing the hairpin out.
Amiya carefully twisted the hairpin with two fingers, and took it to the front to take a closer look, her eyes kept flickering, not knowing what she was thinking.
Probably rejoicing, right?
And the old bishop had been silently watching, not saying a word, and did not stop Gallo's seemingly violent approach.
If nothing else, this hairpin is supposed to be an important thing in the Witch Sect, and it is likely to have something to do with the mysterious 'fate'...
And he doesn't know much about 'fate', only that it is a very mysterious thing, and if he encounters it, then the best way to deal with it is to follow his heart and go with the flow.
This is the method that the man taught him back then, and it is a bit similar to the teachings of the goddess?
I just don't know if Gallo's approach is natural...
The old bishop didn't think much of it, and then asked about another detail:
"Oh, by the way, you were attacked by a demigod before?"
"yes, it's pretty bad, it almost hurt me."
Gallo said earnestly, and used his thumb and forefinger to make a 'little' distance.
"But it wasn't the demigods themselves who attacked, so I held on."
The old bishop thought about it, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly reminded:
"And do you feel like you're being marked?"
It stands to reason that this kind of blow given by a demigod to others is often not so simple, and it is usually accompanied by a mark, mark or something, which is convenient for tracking down afterwards and settling accounts after the autumn.
Such marks tend to be very subtle, difficult to detect, and difficult to dispel.
And once you are targeted by the demigods, it is definitely not a good thing, not to mention, this time it is likely to be two...
After all, it was the first time for Gallo to face a demigod-level enemy, so he naturally didn't realize this.
But Lilian Anluo said very firmly:
"Gallo doesn't smell like anything else?"
"I didn't notice any magic marks or anything."
The old bishop breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, and speculated:
"Didn't you put a mark? Or are they negligent? ”
But Gallo's reaction was very strange, and he actually showed a regretful expression, and muttered in a low voice:
"It's a pity..."
Not only did he feel pity, but at the same time, the demigod mage Sailer and the demigod warrior Cantia, who were far away in the imperial city, also felt pity.
"The mark is gone... No, it didn't work out. ”
"But my well-behaved great-grandson is dead, why?"
"How can a mere witch resist my 'Finger of Death'?"
The demigod mage was a thin, gray-haired old man, who was muttering in a low voice with a puzzled face.
On the side, his close friend Cantia replied:
"Maybe it was the sacrifice of cannon fodder that deceived the hole cards of the two little guys in advance, and then beat the killer; Maybe those witches found a powerful ally? ”
"But the two little ones aren't that stupid yet, so I'm more inclined to the latter..."
"If you can resist the attack of you and me, you must also be a demigod, otherwise it is impossible to survive under the suppression of the person..."
"Can't even a demigod resist the charm of a witch? That's something that intrigues me..."
The demigod warrior, who was also old but strong, said with a strong body.
