Chapter 166: Title Witch
The moon is dazzling in the night sky, with only a few stars scattered around, like an arch.
A figure was hurrying through the night, clad in black robes, and his face could not be seen clearly, it was Daphne who had gone to inquire about the witch's reality.
If you look closely, you will see that she is extremely careful in every step she takes, often stepping on the flat ground around nothing, without making any noise.
This is something that is difficult to do in the middle of a dark night, and it is a skill that the Night Elves are proud of.
According to the news received during the day, Daphne quietly arrived at a mansion in the west of the city. It's eerie and chilling, and it's very much in line with witches. They like to be alone and don't like to be disturbed.
Daphne clicked on the corner of the wall and stopped there, not daring to use her mental power, she could only use her ears to check if there was anyone nearby.
It took a while for her to make sure she was safe, jumped over the wall, and quickly hid behind a hidden object in the mansion. Like a dexterous cat, with an agile body.
According to Daphne's knowledge of witches, the witch should not be in the main house at this time, and will probably stay in the backyard. So she first went to the main house and explored the place.
She opened the door with the utmost care, and walked in slowly, without making a sound. But I found that the inside was normal, the tables and chairs were neatly arranged, and there was nothing suspicious except for the dim light.
Daphne did not give up, she went to the side room, looked up the room, and when she saw a specimen of a wolf's head, she walked over with a little surprise.
The house here is elegantly decorated, but it is surprising that a wolf's head is hung to show its strength.
The wolf's head eyes have been replaced with two red gems, making them even more hideous. Daphne picked up the wolf's head without fear, and her eyes lit up.
There is a black stone brick underneath the specimen, with a hook on the brick, and a raised pillar under the hook, which is hidden in the skull when the wolf's head is hung on it, and is not easy to find.
Daphne reached out and grasped the stone pillar, and pressed it tentatively, and then heard a rumbling sound, and then looked at the ground in the middle of the space, and there was a stone staircase leading to the ground.
After a moment's hesitation, Daphne chose to continue exploring. She walked slowly down the stone staircase, which was about a hundred steps and had two corners, and when she walked through the second corner, she immediately smelled a foul smell.
Further inside, a shocking fact was discovered.
Dozens of humans are being held here, and their clothing suggests that they belong to civilians. Daphne's mind raced, they were probably the people who had disappeared in the city a few days ago.
What did the witch do not kill them, but keep them here?
Did she delay the witch because of a mistake in the ritual to be performed? Or did she have other plans?
Daphne was puzzled and did not rescue the civilians because they were kept in multiple cages and it would take time to free them. The second reason is that if these people are rescued by her, they will definitely be in a mess, and it will be bad if they attract witches.
Returning up the stone staircase, Daphne went to the wolf's head and rehung it, the stone slab on the ground slowly closing in as usual.
Just as Daphne walked out, an ethereal voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Are you going back? ”
Daphne broke out in a cold sweat, pulled the dagger from her lap as if she were facing a great enemy, and silently issued a light-based magic shield before turning around.
There stood a relatively thin figure, dressed in a black magic robe and a lilac pointed hat that was so large that it obscured her face.
In her hand she held an unpretentious wand, long and thin, that stood shoulder level with her on the ground.
Daphne looked extremely nervous, this person was able to appear behind her without noticing, and his strength was probably beyond her own. She considered herself to be extraordinary, and the rank of ordinary human great swordsman was no match at all.
But she is a witch, not an ordinary human, they are the most cunning and weird force in the human race. They have done good things and bad things for thousands of years, and it is not clear what their purpose is.
"Don't be nervous, my guest. The elves are Terran allies and have fought side by side several times over the centuries. I won't hurt you, don't worry. ”
Daphne hesitated for a moment, then withdrew the dagger and removed the magic shield. She straightened up and simply took off her coat and hat, revealing her face.
Seeing this, the witch pushed her pointed hat upwards so that Daphne could see her.
It was a plain face, and if anything was noteworthy, it was a shallow mark on the side of her face, like a crescent moon.
Seeing the mark clearly, Daphne's eyes suddenly widened and she was shocked, "You are Susanna, the witch of the moon?"
Suzanne smiled slightly, "The elves are very knowledgeable, I'm glad you recognize me." ”
Hearing her admit made Daphne's heart sink for the witches to be extremely mysterious, and people have had very little information for thousands of years, only that they have six leaders. They are "bow, flower, mirror, sheep, poison, and moon" six names witches.
According to people's speculation about them, the strength of each named witch has a holy level. And the strangest thing is that they seem to be immortal, and some people have rumored that they lived for thousands of years.
Even if the human race becomes a saint-level powerhouse, its lifespan will not exceed three hundred years, and no one can resist the power of time.
And they can live for thousands of years, I don't know if they continue to pass it on, causing this illusion, or if they really live for thousands of years.
Daphne boldly asked, "With your identity, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as a few dozen civilians, right?"
Suzanne smiled, "This involves a witch's secret, and it's the mission that witches have been given. ”
Daphne pricked up her ears and listened carefully, this was a rare opportunity.
"For thousands of years, witches have been glorious and declined, and we rarely appear in the eyes of people, and we have no intention of interfering in the competition between kingdoms, the struggle for power. We have only one goal, and that is to eradicate the cult. ”
Daphne was shocked, this is a force formed after the war of the gods, it is safe to say that they are a group of complete madmen, stirring up war everywhere, lest the world be chaotic.
However, in the Great War of the Century a thousand years ago, they were exterminated by demons and angels, and Suzanne meant that they were still alive?
"Aren't they exterminated?" asked Daphne.
Suzanne shook her head, "They're all cursed by the gods like us six named witches, and they're immortal. Ordinary people simply can't wipe us out. ”
Daphne's heart was shaken, and it was a big secret.
"But why are you telling me this?"
Suzanne said with a solemn expression: "We have sensed that the Cult of Evil Gods has made a new move, they are prepared this time, and they are likely to provoke another world war, and we need to ask for help." ”
