Chapter 191: The Witch Family

"Tamara ......"

Mobet gently chewed on this noun that seemed strange and awkward to him, and once again made Angel confirm that the "dreamer" in front of him was not the one who had fought side by side with her, but only a character in the book who had been "reshaped" with part of his memory and personality, and his behavior logic was in line with the "story", but he did not remember his true identity.

Of course, according to the occult theory of the subconscious and the collective subconscious, he should still have this part of the memory, but it is hidden in the depths of his consciousness, like a backlog of goods.

"Sorry, I haven't heard that name."

After thinking for a moment, Mobet smiled apologetically, rejecting the beautiful woman in front of him made him feel a little uneasy, so he took the initiative to find other topics, telling the story of his and Shatath's meeting, acquaintance, and eventual marriage.

Beautiful, but illusory, like a "character design" that has been brushed aside...... Angel commented that he felt more and more sad for these teammates he had known for a long time.

When the height of the wine in front of him was almost finished, Angel finally saw Crane push open the tavern door and walk in, he passed the small table in front of the two as if passing by, and handed Angel the properties of the "Nightmare".

With the characteristics in her hand, Angel can simply use the ability of "Nightmare", and under her spiritual vision, a hazy ball of light appeared on Mobet's body in front of her, which kept shaking, as if resisting Angel's contact.

He wasn't asleep yet......

As soon as he had such a thought, Angel found that the opponent's "ball of light" became soft and lost his resistance.

She looked up and saw that Crane had thrown out a "sleep" charm at some point, causing most of the tavern to fall asleep, and the rest were a little drowsy, as if they had drunk too much bad wine.

Thank you...... She silently mouth-shaped, touched Mobet's ball of light with her spirit, and entered his dream.

It's still a tavern from the outside world, only it's more noisy, and the "dreamer" sitting across from Angel is also enthusiastic, as if he has become the real him.

After a similar pleasantries, Angel asked again a question about "Tamara".

"I remember, they are a small family, and they have some of the recipes for the 'Inquisitor' path, so they have been suppressed by Augustus and Castile of the Solomon Empire for a long time, hehe, if it weren't for this, their names would not be known at all."

To the same question, Mobet in the dream really had a different reaction, and he answered after a little thought.

"In addition, they have a long-standing marriage with a race known as the 'House of Witches,' which the true nobles of Solomon disdain...... Well, except for Abraham. ”

Witch Family...... Is it the Witch Sect?

Hearing this term, Angel's first reaction was that it had now become a secret cult, the "witch sect" that everyone shouted about, but instinctively felt that there was a partial difference between the two, otherwise he would not openly marry the nobles of the Quaternary without being suppressed.

"The Witch Family?"

She asked rhetorically, directing the conversation.

"I don't know much about them, except that they have a near-monopoly on the middle and high ranks of the 'witch' path, and at the same time use marriage to intervene in the affairs of the empire...... The first time I saw you, I was suspicious, you should be a 'witch', right? ”

Mobet looked at Angel, who was sitting opposite, and changed his words, revealing the identity of the other party.

The dream of Mobet became more difficult to perfunctory...... No wonder he saw me under the cave in the ice field and asked me if I was related to the Tamara family, and that was the reason.

If calculated according to the time when Mobert entered the "Travels of Grossell" in the Quaternary, the "original witch" Chick may not have become a real god at that time, so the "witch sect" is still only a family, and even has to marry nobles to get support...... Angel thought for a moment, nodded and acknowledged his identity.

Because he was in the dream and built an environment favorable to him through the "Nightmare" ability, Angel did not hide his own path, but continued to use "persuasion" to guide him.

"Let's talk more about the witch family."

She spoke softly, with an irresistible temptation.

"Actually, you don't have to do that, I'll say it too......" Mobe looked at him with a special look, picked up the wine glass to hide his expression, and continued, "All I know is that they are married to Abraham and Tamara, and this marriage does not cause tension among the other nobles, after all, they are only women, and apart from sending some of the female offspring back to the witch family, there is almost no harm to the married family." ”

They are very good at taking advantage of their own advantages, and this kind of unilateral marriage to "send talents" to the outside world will indeed not arouse the vigilance of other families...... Angel sneered.

Wait, send the women back to the witch family?

She suddenly realized that there was a clear difference between what Mobet was saying and what she had learned before.

According to Caterina's daughter, Lola Pellet, the rules of the Witch Cult are that female offspring are given to outsiders to raise, and only men can obtain the "Assassin" potion and be promoted to the new "witch".

But the "witch family" of Solomon's time in the Quaternary seems to have the exact opposite?

"In the 'witch family', is it the majority of men born, or the majority of women? Well, I'm assuming you already know the 'problem' with the 'witch' path. ”

Angel suppressed the surprise in her heart and asked rhetorically.

"What's the problem?" Mobet sneered good-naturedly, took a sip of distilled spirit, and said, "Unless you're born with them, most men won't choose this path, right?" ”

Sure enough, the biggest difference between the "Witch Family" of the Fourth Age and the current "Witch Sect" is probably the way of cultivating offspring...... Is this due to some kind of change in the long history, or is it a deliberate change under the guidance of some high-level leaders?

Or is it simply the "primordial witch" Chick, who became a god and has control over the family and the entire path, and became the evil sect it is today?

Moreover, since you know that most witches are women, when you were in the cave and heard that I was a "painful" witch, why did you look at me with such strange eyes...... With all the doubts in mind, Angel suddenly recalled the way Mobet looked at him, and his face became strange.

"Hehe, are you actually a 'male witch'?" Seeing her expression change, Mobet chuckled and said, "Sorry, just kidding, don't tell Shatas." ”

While the dream was not over, Angel asked some questions about the history of the Quaternary period again, and soon his head swelled when he heard it, and he wanted to change Klein to communicate, but the surrounding dream suddenly shook, the outer wall of the tavern deformed and collapsed, and the surrounding drinkers disappeared without a trace.

This means that the dream is coming to an end.

Angel immediately withdrew from the dream, and was surprised to find a tall woman standing in front of her, with soft black hair and soft facial features.

She was tugging at Mobet's ears, which were sleeping on the table, and shook the "dreamer" in her dream awake and pulled her up.

"Sneaking out to drink again!"

Her voice was soft, but full of rage, and it was none other than Shattath, the "Elven Singer".

Mobet's whole body trembled, he woke up, looked at Angel across the wine table in confusion, and wisely did not continue the conversation, but protected his ears, and was dragged out of the tavern by Shatas.

"Next time you come here, you'll never go home!"

Listening to the distant voices outside the tavern, Angel had a smile on her face, but her eyes were a little sad.

Mobet, Shatas, they don't know me, they don't know Klein anymore, it's just a character in Grossell's Travels, not the real ......

Silently saying goodbye to the couple in his heart, Angel stood up, and Klein, who had been standing in the corner and watched the whole "domestic violence", walked out of the tavern, walked along the lively Rune retro-style street, passed through the busy city gate area, and returned to the opposite gate that only they could see.

In the cold wind, which was far less intense than the storm on the day of the showdown with the "King of the North", Angel stood for a moment, adjusted his mood, and then asked Klein:

"Where's your side? Did you meet Grossell? ”

Klein also had sadness in his eyes that could not be concealed, and he nodded and said:

"Like Mobet, the giants don't know me anymore, but in the dream, I saw the real 'Giant's Court', of course, this may also be due to Grossell's imagination, not necessarily the same as the reality, which is the characteristic of the dream......

"I saw the murals of the 'Giant King' Ormir, the queen 'Harvest Goddess' Omibela, and the eldest son 'God of Dawn' Badhair, and I have a certain degree of understanding of the history of the Second Age, but unfortunately I couldn't go deep into the royal court, where there is a danger of eroding dreams, so I can only wait for the future to explore......"

Angel also shared the story of the "Witch Family", which is completely different from the current "Witch Sect", which made Klein frown, and like Angel, he pointed his suspicions at the "Original Witch" Chick.

Of course, none of them have any evidence, so they can only keep the doubts in their hearts and solve them later.

After touching the door together, Angel and Klein returned to the gray mist space, and sat back in their own high-backed chairs, the top of the long table, the gray mist was filled, and it was impossible to see the figure of Mr. Fool in it.

"Mr. Fool, thanks to your help, we have successfully explored the world of Grossell's Travels, and as agreed, I will present the information to you."

After restoring the hooded attire of the "World", Crane bowed his head respectfully and said to the Fool.

Then, he gave Angel a "knowing" look.

Actually, I'll stay and wait for you...... Angel muttered silently, and asked the Fool to return to reality first.

Enveloped in crimson light, Angel returned to the en-suite bedroom of the Azure Wind Hotel, and after a little reluctance, she immediately took out the extraordinary properties of the "Sea Singer" belonging to Shattas and the potion recipe that had been copied in advance, and prepared to sacrifice to the Fool and make a deal with the Hanged Man.

"By the way, Klein should still be in the gray fog by now......"

Passing by the second bedroom, Angel suddenly became curious, and she carefully pushed open the unlocked door, wanting to see how Crane's body would remain when the spirit went to the gray mist.

"Based on my previous speculation, at this time, our bodies should stiffen and remain in their original position until the spirits return to ......"

Her curious gaze swept across the bedroom, and found that Crane was not sitting in a chair or lying on the bed in advance, as he usually did during his usual "meetings", but stood on the edge of the bed sluggishly, his feet in a strange and twisted position, his eyes blank, staring straight ahead.
