Chapter 23: The Witch's Prophecy

"Welcome home, my sister"

After surviving the initial embarrassment, Gusta IV quickly adjusted his mentality and welcomed his sister with a smile on his face: "The entire Northland, the entire Kingdom of Rain, the entire Mercensea Palace, and the entire Gusta family will always open their doors to you, and you are extremely welcome to return!"

"You can stay here for a while longer and see where your father lived back then!"

"That's exactly what I intended!"

Luna nodded, and said, "Mother and father have gone on a long journey! They plan to travel around the eighty worlds, and by the way, they will explore the 'signposts' left over from the wizarding era. ”

"And me?"

Luna indifferently talked about the current situation of her parents, looked up at Alicia, who had been calm, and said, "I'm here to find my 'contractor', and by the way, take a look at the place where my father lived when he was a child!"

"Contract Knight?"

Gusta IV couldn't help but be slightly moved, restrained his smile, and asked with some solemnity, "You have already started the path of the witch's trial?"

Just as the Seven Ancient Kings are to knights, the Twelve Magic Emperors are to mages, and the Witch of Danlun is standing at the top of all witchcraft and wizards, representing the highest achievement of ancient wizards, and is the "darling of gods and demons", "the mystery that breathes", and is comparable to the great existence of the gods and saints who came out of mythology.

How the witch was born in ancient times has long been unverifiable.

But since the Dark Age, the birth of every newborn witch has been closely related to one or more gods.

They are usually the strongest of the witches, through a mysterious ritual, to communicate with the natural gods of the world incarnation, the supreme spirit of the will of the plane, or the ancient gods who have been extinct in the long river of history, or the evil gods and demon gods of the lower planes, through a series of secret methods to fuse divinity or demonic nature, and finally give birth to a demonic daughter with unique powers.

These mysterious children are born with incredible powers, with talents and potentials far beyond ordinary wizards, their chanting is a natural spell, they can cast terrible spells without preparation, their fate is protected by the powerful presence of the source of their power, within the scope of their authority, they can sacrifice and summon at any cost, they hold all the memories from the source of their power to their birth, they master almost all the spells and rituals of witchcraft, and it is almost a book of active wizards.

Such a powerful mysterious child, even if it is not fully grown, is an extremely dangerous existence.

And in the same way, because these demonic daughters who have not fully grown up usually flow with mysterious bloodlines with divinity or demonic nature, their bloodlines are hidden in a powerful power comparable to that of demigods, and they have extremely lofty personalities and levels in many plane systems, and the soul and heart of the little witch's newborn, if they want to control such a huge and high-end power, they will inevitably be eaten and polluted by power.

Therefore, if the demonic woman wants to truly transform into a witch, she must purify her heart and soul with her own will, clean up the dark side of the soul polluted by power, and finally pass an ultimate trial called "Witch's Night", dominate the bloodline of divinity with her own will, and the successful one will ascend to the sky in one step and sublimate into an immortal witch on a par with the holy ones.

And the loser will be completely consumed by power, degenerated into a demon god who is left with only primitive desires, or an unspeakable horror that is even more chaotic and insane.

However, it is difficult for young demonic daughters to purify their souls with their own powers, so in the history of wizards, countless demonic daughters have fallen in the "Witch Night", giving birth to countless monsters and gods.

However, after countless years of exploration, the wizards finally found a relatively safe way to survive the trial. That is, according to the needs of each demonic daughter, find someone with a certain special talent and quality, sign a soul contract with him, live together, die together, share power, power, glory and even soul together, and use two souls that complement each other to resist the pollution and backlash of power, and purify all the shadows and filth of the dark side of the soul.

Every once in a while, there is always a demonic daughter from the wizarding realm, stepping on the land of the continent, looking for her own contract person. They may succeed or fail in the end, some of them will disappear in history, and some will leave a great name in history, but whether they succeed or fail, they are always accompanied by violent turmoil and fierce social changes that have swept the world.

For example, the ancestors of the kingdom of Rui Gracena, the Heartless Knight and the Winter Maiden, the Silver King and Snow White, were all born at the end of an old era, the beginning of a new era. Their upbringing was filled with countless legends and epics, but also with countless blood and killings.

And because of this characteristic of witches, every witch who embarks on the path of witch trials is regarded as a dead crow, an ominous omen.

"Could it be that the continent, which has been quiet for thousands of years, is about to set off a new round of turmoil? Now it is the end of the old era and the beginning of the new era?"

King Gusta, who was familiar with many witches' secrets, couldn't help frowning slightly, the current situation on the continent was very stable. Because of the powerful power of high-ranking knights and the long life span of more than the vast majority of ordinary people, the rule of the nobles has been very stable, except for a thousand years ago, the three emperors set off a annexation war that swept the world, established a short-lived three empires, and pulled the whole world from the era of the kingdom of the lords to the imperial era of royal centralization, and it has been a long time since there has been a major event that can be called a world change.

"That's right, the old era is coming to an end, the new era is about to begin, the dawn of the past has turned into a new black curtain, the brave of the past has become the new demon king, dawn and dusk will start a new round of cycle, the wheel of history is rolling forward, and the change of blood and fire will sweep the whole world!"

"This is a prophecy from Dan Lun's 'Supreme Witch Secret Council'!"

Luna looked at King Gusta and said like a prophet: "The birth of a witch requires the baptism of birth and death, the elegy of the old era, and the germination of the new era, which is the best soil for the birth of a witch." So, a new round of 'Witch's Night Banquet' has begun. ”

"And I'm not the only witch who has entered this world!"

Luna turned her gaze to Princess Alicia again, and said: "The bond between the witch and the knight is a fate that transcends time and space, Alicia, I look forward to our next meeting, and I look forward to your next choice!"

After saying that, this witch from the mysterious Danlun Kingdom, just like she appeared quietly, left quietly.
