House Witch

Chapter 1042 1041. Hades Guards

Dorothy did not encounter any difficulties after entering the Holy Palace. On the contrary, all the staff, whether they were guards or civil servants, looked at her with admiration. Whenever she passed by, All of them raised their heads and held their chests high, as excited as soldiers undergoing review.

This made Dorothy a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, although the Pandora City in Hades is countless times larger than the small city in Witch Night, the structure of the Holy Palace as the core institution has hardly changed.

Relying on the memory from Witch Night, Dorothy quickly found her good sister's office area with familiarity. However, when she came to the door, she found that the door of the office was closed tightly, and it seemed that there were guests inside. .

"No wonder I didn't see Dinisha waiting for me when I walked in today."

Dorothy thought so.

The few times she came here before, she always saw the familiar figure of "Bai Wuchang" as soon as she opened the door. But today she didn't see anything when she opened the door, which made her a little unaccustomed to it.

She was originally worried that her good sister was still angry, so she was being so cold on purpose, but now she thought she had misunderstood.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, do you need to ask for instructions from Your Majesty?"

The guard on the side asked proactively when he saw this.

"No need, my matter is not urgent, I can just wait outside."

Dorothy quickly stopped her.

Although the two sisters have not shown off to each other so far, and they still hide each other's "impermanent" identities, they actually know each other well.

The house witch naturally knows that her good sister, as the king of witches and the lord of the underworld, must be very busy and not be as idle as she is. Naturally, she is embarrassed to directly disturb her sister's work. After all, she is really busy today. I came here purely for Alice's little personal matter.

So, Dorothy sat down in the reception area. As soon as she sat down, several attendants served tea and water, as well as various high-end snacks. She was immediately treated to a full meal. If it weren't for the poor conditions in the reception area, Dorothy really doubted that these guards would directly prepare a state banquet-level meal for her.

Dorothy: "."

Being served like this by this group of attendants, the otaku witch couldn't deceive herself even if she wanted to.

Although she had already tested the authenticity of Witch Night, she had basically determined that it was definitely not a simple student trial, but that some kind of mutation had occurred and turned into reality.

But now you witches of Hades just don’t act at all? I'm really not ready for a direct showdown.

so.

"You all know me?"

The otaku witch grabbed a very capable-looking attendant witch and asked.

This attendant witch is a ghost witch, about 175 in height, wearing a uniform modified from a nun's uniform, and her translucent figure is very graceful.

Well, it is not attached to a mechanical body, but can move alone as a ghost body. This shows that the attendant witch is at least not a newly deceased undead, but an old employee who has worked in this underworld for a long time. Well, she might even have been a civil servant witch trained in the pure land of eternal life in Hades.

Such a candidate already knows a lot about the situation in Hades and is a good person to ask.

When Dorothy caught her and asked her, the witch attendant was stunned for a moment, then became a little nervous, but finally answered.

"Master Prime Minister, all the undead witches in the entire Hades are followers of the Mechanicus. How could we not know you, the Pope? Although it is actually the first time for young witches like us to see you in person, but your We have grown up listening to the deeds and teachings, so it is inevitable that we are a little excited and may have disturbed you. I am really sorry.”

She apologized with some trepidation.

House Witch: "."

Young witch?

Dorothy glanced at the maid in front of her.

Although the attendant is indeed quite young, she looks like she is about twenty-seven or eighty-years-old, and she is a eldest sister in her prime, but judging from the magical pressure on the other party, she is a peak witch, and How many of the Peak Witches are really young?

And although catching a random attendant who is the Peak Witch will make people feel that the Peak is not as fast as a dog, the problem is that she is now in the Holy Palace of Hades, which together with the Mechanical Church opposite form the power center of Hades.

The guarding force here is actually based on the palace of Pandora, the capital city in reality.

Although Dorothy has never been to the imperial city of Pandora in person, nor has she seen what the guards of the Demon King's Palace look like today, judging from the descriptions she saw from the Magic Network.

Let's put it this way, even the two guards guarding the gate of the outermost wall of the palace have to be spike witches.

The guards responsible for guarding the palace are called the Praetorian Guards. This is a special battle group that is independent of the witch army system. They will not fight on the front lines or participate in battle group rankings.

They have one and only one mission, and that is to guard the majesty of the Witch King.

The composition of the Praetorian Guard is somewhat similar to that of the Tribunal, but the standards of the judges of the Tribunal are more stringent.

The Inquisitor is a rule passed down from a family or a master-disciple similar to that of the Jinyiwei. However, in fact, when he was a child, he was just free-range. Only when he has grown to a certain level will he be recommended by his elders to take part in the assessment.

The recruitment sources of the Imperial Guard are even more stringent and only target those powerful and loyal ancient witch families, because only the heirs of these ancient families have enough talent to become the Imperial Guard, and only these bloodlines that have been proven loyal are worthy of serving. At the side of the great witch king.

Moreover, witches are born as governors, and some genius witches even begin to remember things in their mother's womb. Therefore, the selection of the imperial guards really begins in their mother's womb.

The guards responsible for recruiting soldiers will come to test the fetus before its talent is revealed, but before its consciousness is born. Once the fetus' talent is qualified, they will take the mother away directly and send it directly to the guard training camp. Professional prenatal training to ensure that the future recruit hears the greatness of the Three Kings from the first moment of consciousness, not the glory of the Witch family.

After the fetus is born, they are immediately taken away from the mother, and then the mother is returned to the family, while the child continues to receive various trainings in the training camp.

Generally speaking, this kind of training will continue until the recruits have engraved their absolute loyalty to the Three Kings deep in their bones and souls. They will also be allowed to have certain freedoms, such as going home to visit relatives and so on.

It's a pity that most of the guards have no concept of family or family ties at all. The so-called going home to visit relatives is even an assessment. Once the recruit has any ties to family ties, she will be judged as a Unqualified.

Because loyalty is not absolute, that is absolutely disloyal.

The real qualified guards only have the glory of the Three Kings in their minds, and everything else is false.

In short, only candidates who pass all kinds of tests and finally pass will become the real Forbidden Army, and the passing rate is really shockingly low.

The seed fetuses that have the potential to become the Forbidden Army alone are already only one in 100,000 geniuses, and even if such a genius can eventually be successfully promoted to the Forbidden Army, it is almost only one in 10,000.

That's a probability of nearly one in a billion, and even in today's most prosperous era of witches, the total population of witches is only 50 billion.

Therefore, the number of guards is quite rare, and under such high standards, every guard is destined to be basically the starting point of a peak witch.

Even though the witch world has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, it is said that the total number of guards accumulated over the years is only about 1,000.

Well, this shows that this forbidden army is quite valuable.

And such a precious Forbidden Army will naturally enjoy the highest treatment. Each of the Forbidden Army's equipment, such as staffs, shirts, etc., is an exclusive set customized by the master, the kind that starts with legendary equipment, and other magic potions, summons, etc. It’s all about everything. Anyway, everything that can be solved with money is about everything.

Therefore, every Forbidden Army member is also a gold-rich player among gold-rich players. Each one of them is even more arrogant than the people in Golden Township, which is really enviable to others.

However, although the Forbidden Army seems to be very enjoyable, it is actually quite hard. After all, they will not be allowed to leave the palace easily. They will serve around the palace all their lives, which is equivalent to being imprisoned there.

He may have unparalleled martial power but cannot make achievements on the battlefield. He may have gorgeous equipment but cannot accept worship from the outside world. He may have astonishing wisdom but can only guard the palace walls.

This is the suffering of the Praetorian Guards.

Of course, these legends about the Royal Guards were all seen by Dorothy from the magic network. She herself did not know whether they were true or false, but she had seen the guards of the Holy Palace of Hades just now with her own eyes.

Well, what a peak start.

Moreover, those fanatical eyes of admiration and admiration treated her like a god.

Damn, this girl isn't my guard, is she?

Dorothy had an idea, and then she felt a toothache.

Judging from the introduction of the Imperial Guards, every Imperial Guard is an absolutely loyal demon. They have been brainwashed long ago and only loyalty is left in their minds. And if the Imperial Guards in Hades are similar, , then this can explain the enthusiasm with which the guarding witches looked at her.

Moreover, the real guards are just brainwashing in the training camp, and there is also a religious auxiliary called the Mechanicum in the underworld.

The combination of demons and fanatical believers is hopeless.

But I'm not the King of Witches, so what kind of guards do I want? My good sister, don't you have a feeling of being appointed by the emperor?

Dorothy was speechless. She quietly raised her head and looked at the senior in the hat. She always felt like her husband was currently guilty. After all, this was the future fourth king.

The senior sister doesn't even have a guard yet. She has it first. What kind of thing is this?

When their eyes met, the otaku witch saw the sadness and envy in Senior Fanny's eyes, which immediately made her feel uneasy.

Oh, dear sister, you are really hurting me.

Senior sister, you must believe that I am definitely on your side. I have absolutely no other intentions. I am truly loyal. Heaven and earth can tell.

"Senior."

Dorothy was about to open her mouth to express her loyalty, but the senior sister had already blocked her mouth with a tentacle.

"Okay, Xibao, I understand you, and I'm used to it."

Senior Sister Fanny said with a smile.

On the neck of the house witch, Jörmungandr opened his eyes and glanced at the two of them, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Dorothy, who was speechless, had no choice but to pull out the tentacle and shut her mouth. She looked again at the attendant lady in front of her, oh, it should be the guard lady.

From the fact that this lady of the Royal Guards can guard the door of the good sister's office instead of the door of the Holy Palace, it can be seen that even among the Royal Guards, this lady is also a strong one.

Well, after all, she is a top peak.

A top peak that is probably not far from the sage.

Such a strong person should have been famous, but it's a pity that she is a Royal Guard destined to be unknown, not to mention that she is also a Hades Royal Guard, which is doubly transparent.

"Can you tell me your name?"

Dorothy thought about it, and then said so.

Hearing her words, the Ghost Witch was stunned at first, and then her translucent body trembled and shook a little, but soon calmed down. She just stood straight and then said her name loudly.

"The deputy commander of the Hades Royal Guards, the hound chasing death, Robert salutes you."

"Well, Robert, I remember, it's nice to meet you."

The House Witch also nodded and said so.

However, hounds.

Dorothy looked at the head and back of the lady of the royal guard, and did not see any dog ​​ears and dog tails.

Well, it's probably just a title, not really a dog witch.

Besides, the dog template is not a powerful template, and it really doesn't match the strength of Miss Robert. At least it has to be a werewolf.

Uh, werewolf witch?

Dorothy frowned, and she remembered the purpose of coming to the underworld today.

"A strong man like you is only a deputy commander? How strong must the real commander be."

She seemed to say this just out of emotion.

In response, Robert bent down and said.

"I'm sorry, Prime Minister, Lord Cerberus has been sleeping for a long time, and she may not be able to see you for the time being."

Dorothy: "."

Cerberus?

The three-headed dog of hell? The gatekeeper of the underworld? Is it the dog I thought of?

The witch of the house was shocked.

Well, there are always some people in this witch world whose names give her an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, such as Nidhogg, such as Jörmungandr, and now Cerberus seems to be nothing.

Just as she was thinking, the door of the office next to her opened, and two figures walked out of the door.

One was Dorothy's familiar good sister, she was still dressed in white, with a white impermanence mask on her face.

And the other one next to her.

Uh, that was also an acquaintance of the witch.

It was a beautiful white-haired girl, but although she looked young, her majestic temperament and deep eyes had already told of her extraordinaryness.

"Joan."

Dorothy remembered the girl's name, and then she realized the girl's identity.

That was the founder of the underworld who was once as famous as the Red Moon Sage Lilith, and one of the oldest sages.

The immortal sage-Joan.

The murmur of the witch also made the girl look up. She glanced at Dorothy, and then a smile appeared on her originally expressionless face.

"Welcome home, Dorothy."

She said so.

Dorothy: "."

No, you guys really don't even pretend?

Before, others called me Prime Minister, but you just called me by my name.

The witch of the house looked at her good sister speechlessly.

And the shepherdess looked at her as dotingly as always.

The sisters looked at each other.

Xibao, go and prepare warm-up measures, otherwise others will add more clothes for you.
