Becoming a God by Raising a Witch
Chapter 112
Erin and Rebecca looked at each other, suddenly feeling a little sympathetic to each other.
"Rebecca, what are you talking about?"
Locke and Hannah ended the friendly interaction between siblings and looked at their wanton demon maid Rebecca.
"Don't you think this is a trap? Don't you think you are being used? You are still complacent."
Rebecca wanted to lie on the sofa, tilt her head up and look at Hannah and Locke through her nostrils, but there was already a noble black cat on the sofa, so she didn't dare to get close, so she could only sit on the mahogany chair and try to lift herself up said the chin.
"What do you mean? How could I be taken advantage of? What kind of trap?"
Hannah asked confused.
Locke was thinking carefully about Rebecca's words.
Their process of bringing down Lloyd was really smooth, because Lloyd's incident involved the editor-in-chief of Tumen Times, which led to the investigation of the editor-in-chief of Tumen Times, which in turn led to the resignation of MPs. There seemed to be an invisible force behind all this. hands pushing behind.
Ms. Anna Lalo, the Lalo family, is a new aristocracy that has emerged in recent years and is one of the Queen's confidant families.
Therefore, the Queen is the driving force behind the scenes.
The Tumen Times is different from other newspapers in that it plays a decisive role in the journalism world. The Queen's person becoming the editor-in-chief is equivalent to the Queen taking back the right of public opinion.
Coupled with the previous sale of shares in Baker Grain Company due to the water pollution incident in the West District, people from the Grain Association bought shares in Baker Grain Company, and people from the Grain Association then sold these shares to the Dolan family. They are also upstarts supported by the Queen.
This is equivalent to the Queen taking back the right to price food before taking back the right to public opinion, and used this to purchase a large amount of low-priced food from Baker Company.
Coupled with the promulgation of the new Alchemy Act, Locke vaguely smelled the smell of conspiracy.
If the person playing chess is really the queen, then he and Hannah must be just insignificant pawns on her chessboard.
And it could be a piece that mistakenly enters the board.
At the moment, Ms. Anna Lalo's overtures to Hannah probably indicate that the Queen is quite satisfied with Hannah's sudden pawn and has no intention of removing her.
But if Hannah and herself touched the Queen's interests, it would be quite dangerous.
People in high positions are playing chess, and civilians at the bottom suddenly intervene. If they cannot clearly observe the situation, they will definitely be treated as cannon fodder.
So the key now is to figure out what the queen is doing! What was the purpose of her game of chess?
Food, public opinion, what’s next?
While Locke was thinking, Rebecca answered Hannah's question.
"Didn't you realize that Johns wanted to use you to please Anna Lalo? Anna Lalo had just lost her husband, and Johns wanted to take advantage of it, so he recommended you to Anna Lalo to please Anna Lalo. "
Rebecca said confidently, she had never lost in the field of gossip.
Locke sweated. It turned out that when Rebecca said being used and trapped, this was what she was referring to.
Of course, this does not affect Locke's thinking.
Locke decided to discuss it with Irene when she went to bed at night, believing that with her knowledge of the nobles, she would be able to detect the conspiracy behind the queen, oh no, the plan.
"Rebecca, how do you know about Ms. Anna Lalo's personal affairs?"
Hannah looked at Rebecca in surprise.
Rebecca raised her eyebrows, "What's the difficulty? When Ms. Anna Lalo saw you, her face was obviously not very good, her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had been crying for a long time, she still had a wedding ring on her hand, and was wearing black clothes She wears a skirt and a white mesh hat, with a white rose on her chest. There is a photo of her and her husband on her desk, and there is also a white rose next to the photo. This is the best proof. "
Hey, hey, hey, stop showing off your reasoning talent, you've been exposed...
Locke covered his forehead with one hand and complained about Rebecca in his heart.
Hannah narrowed her eyes, put her hands on her hips, and looked at Rebecca,
"How did you know that Ms. Anna Lalo was dressed like this when I met her? And you also knew what her office looked like. You followed me, Rebecca!"
"Loke asked me to follow you."
Rebecca swallowed.
Hannah turned around, looked at Locke, and asked in a questioning tone,
"Locke, why did you let Rebecca follow me?"
"Hannah, don't be angry. I just want Rebecca to learn how an independent and strong lady gets out of the trough and looks for a new job actively and optimistically. Let her observe your every word and deed and learn from it, right? , Rebecca?”
Locke looked at Rebecca with a smile.
Rebecca reluctantly nodded.
"Really?"
Hannah looked at Locke suspiciously.
Locke nodded, "Of course, I can't let a girl like Rebecca protect you, right?"
"That's right, but don't follow me next time. Following the reporter, the consequences will be serious."
Hannah said seriously.
Rebecca rolled her eyes, "If you found yourself being followed by a demon, you would probably think that the consequences would be really serious."
"demon?"
Hannah looked at Rebecca in confusion.
"Yes, I am a devil."
Rebecca raised her head proudly.
Hannah held her stomach and laughed.
Locke also laughed along.
When Rebecca angrily wanted to turn into a smoke demon, Irene glanced at her indifferently, which calmed her boiling blood and decided to swallow her anger.
"Rebecca, you have learned so badly from Locke that you would make such a joke."
"Haha, yes, Locke is really bad."
Chapter 113, Witch Hunter
After sharing the good news with Locke that she was back in journalism, Hannah went back to her room to sleep.
"Good night, Locke, and have sweet dreams."
"Good night Hannah, sweet dreams."
Locke walked up to the master bedroom on the third floor.
Erin looked at Locke with dull eyes.
Looking at her like this, it is most likely a prelude to sleep.
Locke guessed that she would not answer any of his questions unless she showed some sincerity.
So Locke took out the fruit-flavored fructose from his pocket and handed it to Irene.
Erin tilted her head, and Locke peeled the candy open for her and handed it to her mouth.
Erin stuck out her tongue and rolled the candy into her mouth. As the taste of orange bloomed in her mouth, her eyes lit up slightly and her energy seemed to have recovered a little.
【Ding! Feeding the witch was successful! 】
[Randomly obtain an ability of the witch]
【Getting it now...】
[The Art of Long Hair: Your hair can change the length according to your wishes, can also carry part of your will, and has a certain attack power. 】
[Advanced Path: Use hair to kill 1,000 people, and you can advance to a long-haired assassin. 】
[Long-haired Assassin: Can control other people's hair, and even make the hair kill the owner. 】
[Due to repeated ability extraction, proficiency +100]
I actually got the long hair art!
That's right, Miss Irene, the witch raised by her family, has completely integrated with Shelia's witch heart and gained new powers, so in theory, she can also draw Shelia's abilities from Irene.
Locke's eyes were bright. He had gone through several battles during this period, and the long-haired artist's proficiency had only reached 315. In comparison, the proficiency obtained by feeding was not only more but also easier! There seems to be hope in the short term to upgrade [Long Hair Art] to [Long Hair Assassin].
"Why don't you go to sleep in your attic so late? Tell me if you have anything to ask me."
Erin said while wagging her cat's tail.
"The Compass Drinking Water Company's mistakes led to the contamination of water sources in the West District, which led to the queen's newly wealthy Dolan family getting involved in the Baker Grain Company. The queen took back her grain pricing power and purchased a batch of stored grain at a low price."
Locke said, opening another candy and feeding it to Irene's mouth.
"News tycoon Bill Harper and Congressman Bowman Bister also stepped down. On the surface, it seemed that the Queen took action against Bowman Bister in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the Alchemy Bill. Bill Harper was only implicated. In fact, The Queen has used this to take back the largest institution that controls public opinion, Tumen Times.”
【Ding! Feeding the witch was successful! 】
[Witch favorability +1]
[The current favorability of Witch Irene Mostia is 76/100]
Since I always have impromptu tasks recently, and sometimes I am not at home all day long, I have no time to feed Eileen, so the favorability level has not reached 80, but the goal of 100 is not far away.
Erin licked her tongue, her eyelashes trembled slightly,
"So what do you want to ask?"
"Why would the Queen do this?"
Locke looked at Erin seriously.
Erin licked her paws, "It won't do you any good to know these things."
"Whether it was Compass Water Company or Bill Harper's ouster, Hannah and I's investigation was the trigger. Hannah has now been recruited to the Tumen Times. I must know what the Queen's purpose is in order to avoid risk."
Locke said.
"Some things, even if you know them, you can't avoid them."
Erin opened her mouth, and Locke peeled another candy for her.
"And all this is your speculation. You have no direct evidence that the Queen is related to them."
"You must know something, right? Xiao Ai."
【Ding! Feeding the witch was successful! 】
[Witch favorability +1]
[The current favorability of Witch Irene Mostia is 77/100]
“What will happen with the enactment of the new Alchemy Act?”
Erin asked suddenly.
"The advantage is that it reduces environmental pollution, but the disadvantage is that a large number of non-compliant small alchemy factories have closed down and a large number of workers have lost their jobs."
Locke said.
"Think again."
Locke looked at Erin and suddenly remembered his former politics teacher.
He thought and said,
"With the monopoly of the alchemy industry, capital and technology are concentrated, more research and development and innovation can be invested, and the Alchemy Church will further develop."
"Who is the god that the Alchemy Church believes in?"
Erin asked.
"The God of Alchemy."
"What is His authority?"
"Well, I really don't know this, but I can check it out."
"Creation and destruction."
Erin shook her head and said lightly.
Locke was stunned for a moment, and a clue connected all the questions in his mind.
Her Royal Highness the Queen wants to start a war!
Therefore, the water pollution caused by Compass Company and the Alchemy Factory is not an accident, but was promoted by the Queen and the Alchemy Church.
