Chapter 27: The Collar

The entire structure of the witch collar is the top secret of every country, and no one will know more than one palm.

Although Levi used to be the secretary of the General Administration, he also had no right to know this level of intelligence.

But in addition to being a secretary, he also has an identity.

The Witch Executive Directorate, the son of the Director of the General Administration!

By chance, he saw a document that his father had placed in his study, which contained the specific structure of the witch's collar.

At that time, he just thought that his father was confused and forgot to put away important documents.

Out of curiosity, Levi looked at the contents.

For him at that time, this kind of information was useless, and reading it was equivalent to reading it in vain, purely to satisfy his curiosity.

But looking back now, he had to wonder if old Black did it on purpose.

As one of only two people in the core power circle of the royal capital, Levi could not believe that old Black would make such a low-level mistake.

Levi made up his mind to spend some time every day combing through old Blake's memories to see if he could find any clues in it.

Under his control, the power of pollution infiltrated the witch's collar little by little, avoiding all dangerous mechanisms and touching several key points.

If he had used magic, he would have triggered the collar trap and beheaded Lilith.

But...... The power of pollution is not within the warning range of the collar.

After all, pollution has been the enemy of witches since ancient times, and no witch has ever been heard of who can manipulate the power of pollution.

With all the preparations in place, Levi took a deep breath.

Then, the erosive properties of the polluting force are activated.

Sting!

The collar around Lilith's neck erupted into a small red arc of electricity.

Thea's heart was in her throat.

Lilith is still calm, and she can even use this calm to infect Levi, making Levi feel less nervous.

Levi couldn't help but sigh a little.

Except for a flat place, Lilith is simply the embodiment of the word perfect.

Calm, strong, strong, handsome, beautiful......

All the adjectives for beauty in this world have no sense of disobedience in this girl.

Except for the staunch Blue Route fan, there is probably no one who can not admire Lilith after coming into contact with her.

As Levi and Thea watched, the red arc on Lilith's neck writhed more and more intensely.

Suddenly, with a soft snap, the red arc disappeared without a trace.

Thea blinked, subconsciously looking at Lilith's head.

After breathing a sigh of relief, he looked at Levi again.

Levi smiled, letting go of the hand holding Lilith's neck, and gently inserted his fingers into the gap between the collar and his neck.

Then, pull gently.

The collar made of black ribbon broke in response.

With the red spar on it, it fell into Levi's hands.

Lilith raised her hand and gently touched her neck.

After confirming that the collar on it had disappeared, the girl looked at her with some emotion.

Since she awakened her power at the age of 12, she has been forced to wear this collar by the Empire.

At first, when she thought that this circle could take her life at any moment, and she had no power to resist, Lilith would fall into intense fear, sadness, and despair.

But, after five years, she has become accustomed to having such a thing on her body.

At this time, I really got rid of the witch collar, but it felt a little unreal.

Looking at Levi, who was standing in front of him and playing with the collar with great interest, the corners of Lilith's mouth raised slightly.

This man is like the embodiment of a miracle.

The first time they met, they forcibly pulled themselves out of the cursed quagmire of pollution.

Now, take yourself out of the curse of the collar again.

She once saw death completely and could calmly accept her fate at any time, but now she can't help but sigh from the bottom of her heart.

It's great to be alive until now.

"Thank you, Levi."

Lilith spoke softly.

While studying the collar in his hand, Levi waved his hand: "Hey, who is with whom, what are you thanking for?" ”

Lilith smiled.

Levi is right, between himself and him, there is no need for thanks, promises, vows and the like.

From now on, I will always be by his side, his sword, his shield.

Even if one day, he is so strong that he no longer needs his help, and he no longer needs to be by his side, he will quietly follow him not far behind, watching his advancing back, waiting for the moment when he can repay him.

When Lilith made up her mind, Thea leaned over and turned left and right around her with a happy smile on her face.

"Great, Lilith, great, nothing can hurt you now!"

"Perfect, invincible witch Lilith! You are the eternal goddess in my heart! ”

After a few rounds of gleeful commotion, Xia suddenly remembered something and hurriedly ran to Levi's side.

Levi ...... Oh no, Lord Levi, Lord Levi! Will you untie the collar for me? ”

Levi glanced at her: "Not available." ”

Thea: "? ”

Seeing that Levi turned around to leave, she hurriedly ran over to block it.

"No, wait, wait, Lord Levi, I see that when you untied Lilith's collar just now, it didn't take much time, how could you not be free?"

The blonde girl smiled flatteringly: "You see, I am so loyal to you, I have never said a word about what you told me to do...... Doesn't this reward me with a collar? ”

Looking at Xiya, who was possessed by the drama spirit, Levi sighed.

After a few seconds of silence, he spoke, "Thea, are you sure that your will is 100% in your own hands?" ”

Hearing this, Thea was stunned.

Levi walked over to the couch and sat down.

"If you were someone else, you wouldn't be able to see anything wrong with you, but I'm your 'attending doctor', can I not know what your condition is?"

"When you were in the cave, you were on the verge of losing control, but you forcibly suppressed it with magic power, and your soul directly came into contact with the source of pollution, if it weren't for your good strength and enough experience in dealing with pollution, I wouldn't be surprised if you turned into a monster directly on the spot."

"Although with the help of Lilith, I pulled you back, but there is a small part of your soul that has been corrupted by pollution and changed in nature."

"As a partner, I'm willing to trust you, even if it may come at a cost."

"But what am I going to do if you're not you anymore?"

Lilith was a little surprised to hear Levi's words.

She gets along with Xia day and night every day, and she doesn't even notice that there is something wrong with Xiya's soul.

As the two watched, Thea was silent for a moment, then smiled.

"Indeed, you're right."

"I'm sorry, Lilith, I've been hiding this until now...... At first, I thought that if I tried hard enough, I would be able to solve that erosion sooner or later, but it turned out that until now, I have not been able to do anything. ”

"I'm like this, and I can get into trouble at any time."

"Don't worry, Levi, I'll ...... when this plan is completed."

"After this plan is completed, I should have a way to help you treat, so look forward to it."

Before Thea's words fell, Levi suddenly spoke.

Thea was stunned for a moment, and looked at him in disbelief.

I just ...... What do you hear?
