Chapter 343: Scarlet Witch
Kama Taj Temple.
The Ancient One Master was alone in the inner sanctum, sitting upright and meditating with his eyes closed. There was a cup of brewed tea on the table in front of her, another cup of brewed tea on the table not far away, and an empty chair in front of the table, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
There was a golden ripple in the middle of the room, and the next second, Richard walked out with the unconscious Scarlet Witch in his arms. The Ancient One mage opened his eyelids and gestured to the bed that had already been made beside him. Richard gently placed the witch on the bed, and then casually walked to the empty chair and sat down, and took a sip of tea from a cup.
Slowly putting down the teacup, he turned his head sideways and asked, "So, Master, you already know everything?" ”
The Ancient One mage nodded calmly. She didn't seem to have any intention of hiding her intention to paddle, she meant "yes, I do, but I just want to be lazy at home".
Richard didn't mind either. He knew that Gu Yi had used magic for hundreds of years, and the high price had already made her body unbearable, plus she also had to fight against the erosion of the spirit of dark magic, and now every time she fought, it was understandable for her to paddle into the water.
The Ancient One asked, "Where is the book with you?" ”
Richard knew what she was referring to, and immediately pulled out the Dark God Book. It is a large, thick book with a title written on the cover in gilded letters. It looks unremarkable on the surface, but when Richard tries to find out with light and mental power, he only finds that the book doesn't seem to exist at all.
It can't be seen by any means other than the naked eye, not by any trick.
Of course, Richard didn't open it either. While he felt he shouldn't have gone as crazy as everyone else who had flipped through the book, it was always right to be cautious. He had just formed a mortal enmity with Sithorne, and the common characteristic of this demon god who had lived for tens of thousands of years was that he had a special grudge. Who knows if that thing will curse itself with this book?
Gu Yi took the big book and explained lightly: "The Dark Divine Book may be the most evil magic book in this world, but no one can deny that it is also one of the most powerful magic books. It's a pity that this book is also very restrictive, and it has strict requirements for the reader's talent. ”
As she spoke, her gaze turned to the unconscious red-haired girl on the bed.
"Today, she should be the only one who can read and understand the knowledge recorded in this book."
"But as far as I can see, even she was influenced by the book." Richard said, "She was in a strange state when I met her, and she felt like a puppet manipulated by a book. ”
"Because Silthorne was trying to use her body as a medium to invade our world, but that wasn't supposed to happen." "The culprit for this result is my mistake, my former disciple, Master Casillas.
I told all my mages not to try to find the Dark Book, but it doesn't seem like he's listening. Casillas left us because he couldn't agree with something, and it looks like he finally found the Dark Book. But he remembered that I had said that the book was dangerous, so instead of reading it himself, he found a replacement who could read it. ”
Richard suddenly glanced at the sleeping little witch: "So that person is Crimson?" ”
Gu nodded his head: "Casillas has cast a hypnotic spell on her, wanting her to become his puppet and indirectly apply the powerful magic of the Dark Book through her. But he was self-defeating, and his spell suppressed the girl's autonomy, so he gave Sithhorn a chance. The evil god took advantage of the gap when the girl's consciousness was suppressed and controlled her body with the help of the passage of the "Dark God Book", triggering the rampage of chaos magic, so what happened to you before. ”
Now he had a rough idea of how it happened. The Scarlet Witch somehow bumps into Casillas, who betrayed the Templars, after leaving Baron Straker's base. It may have been the mage who had thrown himself into the darkness to sense the natural magic of chaos in her, and realized that this girl might be the key to mastering the magic of chaos, so he captured her.
Unfortunately, the power of chaos magic was beyond their imagination, and the Scarlet Witch holding the Dark Divine Book went on the spot and beat up the group of dark mages so much that their mother didn't even recognize them. In the end, Casillas had to give up the treatment, leaving Wanda behind and running away with his dogs, and even the hard-earned "Dark Book".
Casillas couldn't make a plan, so he decided to come and get Richard back as his horseboy. And then...... And then there was no then......
Now that you know the crux of the matter, the next thing is simple. The reason why Wanda lost control was entirely because Casillas was fooling around and using hypnosis to suppress her autonomous consciousness, so that Cithorne would get a chance. The ancient master solved this spell casually, and in the future, Sithorne would no longer be able to occupy her body.
So finally it comes to how to deal with this problem.
"So, there's still a chance that something like this will happen to her in the future, right?" Richard asked, "As long as she's around, will Silthorne always have a chance to use her as an entrance to the invasion?" ”
"That's true, but I can't get rid of her." Gu Yi said lightly, "She is not only an entrance, but also the key to the chaos magic of our world. Without her, this powerful magic would spiral out of control, affecting the entire reality and causing even more serious problems. ”
After a pause, she added: "Moreover, this child may play a vital role in the future, and she will make a great contribution to the world." In public and private, she should not be treated as a trouble. ”
Richard nodded. He asked, and to be honest, he really didn't want the Ancient One to kill the Scarlet Witch as a potential threat.
Although he won easily by crushing the projection against Sithorne this time, he also discovered that he really didn't know anything about magic. And Wanda happens to be one of the most potential mages in the world, if possible, he actually hopes to have a good relationship in the future, at least in the field of magic, there can be a closer expert, lest the next time he bumps into Dormam Simthorn or something, his eyes are black and he doesn't understand anything......
"Are you going to take her into Kama Taj as an apprentice?" Richard asked again.
This seems to be a common routine in various comics. A protagonist who was born with a powerful evil force worshiped under the door of a decent master, and finally the righteous and evil initiates became famous all over the world......
"It's not impossible." Gu Yi smiled slightly, "But why don't we let the parties make their own choices?" ”
She said, glancing to the side. Richard followed her gaze and found that the red-haired little witch had woken up at some point, sitting stupidly on the bed, blinking cutely.
