I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 17 Price

The witch's face looked a little haggard. She had undoubtedly spent a lot of magic power on using the crystal ball to recreate the scene that happened three years ago.

Lancelot said nothing, he wanted to see how the witch explained all this.

"Your mother is a fugitive magician. We are just completing the mission assigned by King Raul."

Lancelot was confused and was about to ask for more information.

The witch immediately made a silence gesture and continued: "Maybe you haven't heard of the word magician. Magician was once one of the most powerful professions on the continent, but now it has been replaced by wizards."

"Nowadays, we are accustomed to calling such people heretics."

"As you can see, I am a wizard, and all my talents are obtained from pagans like your mother."

The boy was silent for a few seconds and then asked: "So you call magicians heretics in order to legitimately take away their talents?"

"That's right, and you have an unparalleled talent, our task at that time was to take it away." Gloria nodded and continued to explain: "Although your mother is also gifted, she will not bring much to us.

Ascension, our goal is only you."

"But that bastard Caesar insisted on killing her. I'm sorry for your mother's death."

After hearing what the witch said, Lancelot couldn't accept it for a while.

The tall and majestic wizard image in Lancelot's heart suddenly collapsed. These guys are not messengers of justice, but just a group of profit-seeking hypocrites.

"Why am I still alive?" The boy raised his own doubts. He felt that with the character of the wizard, he would definitely eradicate the roots after successfully seizing the talent.

"I beg him to spare your life at the cost of giving up everything I have: money, position, title, including the identity of the kingdom's heir." A wry smile appeared on Gloria's beautiful face, "There is something I forgot to tell you.

,Caesar is my biological brother."

Lancelot was shocked after hearing this: In order to save her own life, the witch voluntarily gave up her right to inherit the throne.

【Is she crazy?】

The boy said he couldn't understand it at all and asked in surprise: "Why did you do that then?"

"There is no special reason. Maybe the act of killing your mother touched my bottom line. More importantly, I admire your courage." After the witch finished speaking, she looked at the boy with a complicated expression.

She could never forget the hateful look in the boy's eyes.

"Uh..." Lancelot didn't know what to say.

[Only a three-year-old child would believe such a far-fetched reason.]

Gloria did not intend to tell the boy the real reason. She had already used a crystal ball to recreate the scene three years ago and did not want Lancelot to suffer too many negative emotions.

"Lancelot, is there anything else you want to know?" Gloria asked gently.

"Gloria, since you saved me, why did you throw me into the orphanage? Can't you keep me with you?" The boy plucked up the courage to ask.

"Three years, do you know how I spent these three years!"

Lancelot's whole body was shaking due to excessive excitement, and his words were full of anger and sadness.

"I don't know any damn magic, nor do I know what the so-called talents are. I only know that if you hadn't left me alone, I wouldn't have gone through that at all..."

Lancelot recalled the indifference and ridicule he had endured in the small town over the past few years, his dark and boring life, living like a zombie.

"Lancelot, I'm really sorry." Gloria reached out and touched the boy's hair, "because I have more important things to do, for you and for myself."

"What is it?" Lancelot decisively avoided the witch's hand.

"Kill them and take back your lost talent." The witch said with a chill in her eyes, but her tone seemed to be understatement: "And now I have completed most of it."

"According to you, they are all dead now?" Lancelot did not expect that the other party would give such an answer.

Gloria was one of the six wizards back then. She turned against her companions because of a strange child. This was not logical at all.

——

The witch seemed to be reminded of past memories and suddenly became silent. She did not immediately answer Lancelot's question, but turned to look out the window.

The moon was crimson, and there were no stars in the deep night sky.

Thick fog enveloped the castle, and Gloria's thoughts drifted back to three years ago.

Back then, she was not only a senior wizard, but also a princess of the kingdom with peerless beauty.

The Rhine Kingdom does not have a tradition of giving priority to men to inherit the throne. Therefore, as the eldest daughter, Gloria is the first heir to the kingdom.

Her brother Caesar had almost no chance of inheriting the throne unless Gloria died suddenly or voluntarily gave up her status as heir.

The probability of the former happening is basically zero. The powerful blood inheritance of wizards makes their bodies several times stronger than ordinary humans, and they will not be troubled by ordinary injuries at all.

Caesar never dreamed that after taking away Lancelot's talent, this unrealistic fantasy would actually become a reality.

…

The flames of the fire returned to their normal color, the light of the magic circle gradually faded, and the flames on the wizard's body also dissipated.

At this moment, Caesar was overjoyed. After gaining divine power, his strength has undoubtedly reached a new level.

Caesar threw the boy's body to the ground with a look of disgust, and then made a retreat gesture to the other three black-robed wizards, saying: "Father held a celebration banquet in the palace, we can't keep him waiting for too long."

Gloria frowned when she heard this, and the other person's tone was obviously disrespectful.

"Master Caesar, what should we do with this child?" the witch Lilith asked respectfully. She seemed a little excited after she had just taken the gift.

"Haha, of course, kill him." Caesar sneered, raising his leg and preparing to crush the boy's head.

"Stop!" Gloria instantly appeared in front of Caesar, looking directly at him with angry eyes.

"Gloria, it seems that you haven't figured out your identity yet. My father gave me the decision-making power for this operation. Now I have decided to kill this idiot. Are you going to betray the king?"

"You have already killed that innocent woman, there is no need to do anything to a useless child."

The witch has no intention of giving in. Now that the task of seizing the talent has been completed, she no longer has to obey Caesar's orders.

"Dear sister, are you sure you want to go against me at this time? After I have taken away this little bastard's power? Are you sure?"

"." Gloria was speechless.

Caesar lifted the witch's chin with his hand and continued to say in a cold tone: "You want me to spare his life? That's not impossible, but you have to pay a small price for it."

"Tell me." Gloria was mentally prepared.

"The conditions are very simple, voluntarily give up your qualification as heir." At this time, Caesar was only a few feet away from Gloria's beautiful face, and his heart did not waver at all.
