I! Cleaner!

Mephala, the land of witches?

After hearing the words of the blue-haired old man, Leon's expression suddenly became slightly startled, and he couldn't help but think of the words he saw on Director Aquarius's [Lot of the Past].

The land of witches is Miphala, the great witch ritual, the old king's longevity is exhausted, the black cat has a broken belly, and the witch court has no successor.

After recalling the black cat with its belly cut open and its body hung on a high tower, whining in the ruins, Leon, who felt uncomfortable, couldn't help but frown.

"The Great Witch-King of Mephala Kingdom seems to be from a single lineage, right? And her only daughter hasn't been found yet, right?"

"Yes."

Director Aquarius nodded, then met Leon's eyes and explained:

"Caitlin has indeed disappeared for a long time, but His Majesty the Witch King is still alive, so you can ask her for help."

The Great Witch King who is over 130 years old?

After listening to Director Aquarius's suggestion, Leon's brows suddenly frowned even more tightly.

"Isn't she almost... Sorry, this may not sound nice to say, but isn't her lifespan almost exhausted? But my child hasn't been born yet, so maybe the time doesn't match up, right?"

"The time difference is insurmountable for others, but for Beckinsale's family, it is not really a big problem. She has the ability to transcend time and contact your future children in advance."

Facing Leon's question, Director Aquarius smiled nonchalantly, and then revealed the secret behind it with a calm expression.

"The Great Witch King of the Kingdom of Witches is actually one of the ten descendants of the Great Court, and the most important among them. The one in charge of the [Heart] of the Great Court. The witches who lived in the center of the Great Court in the past are the ones who now live in the Kingdom of Witches. of witch.

For the female members of their lineage, time is not an intangible thing. They have contact across time as easily as we go downstairs to chat with our neighbors. Therefore, for a long time in the past, They are all regarded as leaders and protectors by the other Nine Descendants.

Even the creation of the Watching Palace to protect mankind may have been inspired by the two directors of that generation, Taurus and Aquarius, after contact with the Witch King at that time. The magical ability of the Watching Palace to peer into the future may be a reference to their talents. and imitation. "

"..."

There is such a thing... By the way, although you stretched your hips a little when you started, and you got people to stab you in the back, you are as good as Edward from the Scorpio Branch, but you know a lot of things!

Listening to the various secrets that kept coming out of the blue-haired old man's mouth, Leon was speechless secretly and couldn't help but curiously asked:

"Director Balto, how do you know so many things? I feel like Mr. Jinniu and others may not know as clearly as you!"

"Haha, I'll live a long time!"

After looking at Leon, who had a look of admiration on his face, the blue-haired old man who felt quite comfortable laughed twice, then stroked his beard and said:

"People lose energy as they get older, and their brains don't move as fast as you young people. But I have accumulated a lot of special experiences in the past 130 years or so.

Hmm... And when I was young, I participated in a joint mission with the Pisces Bureau, and was seconded to the Kingdom of Witches for a few years. I got close to Beckinsale. Although we didn't get together in the end, we still They are considered very close friends. "

"..."

Good guy... No wonder you called the Great Witch King by his name, and you also know everything about the situation in the Kingdom of Witches. It turns out you once had an affair with him!

After taking a look at the shy blue-haired old man, Leon said with difficulty:

"So what you just said..."

"Of course Beckinsale told me."

The blue-haired old man said with a smile:

"Their lineage is naturally close to time. As long as they can find the correct 'coordinates', it is not difficult to know what happened in the past.

Although they are restricted by some rules and cannot talk to others about the future, they can basically talk about what happened in the past as they want without too many restrictions. "

"I see... this bloodline is really convenient." After praising sincerely, looking at the slightly pulsing soul of the blue-haired director, Leon hesitated for a moment, and then asked frankly:

"Director Balto, the reason why you told me this today is that besides helping me solve the problem, is there anything else you want me to do? For example... help your good friend find her daughter? "

"Yes."

After frankly admitting his plan, the blue-haired old man sighed and said softly with a rather nostalgic look:

"Although we separated in the end, Beckinsale is the only...only six...ahem...although not the only woman I have ever loved in my life, but she is the only one who is still alive now.

So if possible, I still hope that she can see the child Caitlin again at the end of her life and leave this world without regrets. "

When he said this, he couldn't help but pause slightly, and then a flash of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he continued with a slightly dejected expression:

"Your Excellency Leon, you also know the situation in the bureau. If someone else was handling this matter, they would try to avoid letting her meet Caitlin, lest the Slaughtered King find an opportunity there.

Although I hope that Beckinsale can leave without regrets, I am also worried that it will harm Caitlin, so... Alas... I don't know whether I should do this. You can decide whether to help me or not based on the situation!"

"..."

So you are just throwing this burden to me? I knew... there is really no such thing as a free lunch...

Although this matter sounds very troublesome, considering that he might really have to ask for help, Leon thought about it and did not refuse, but nodded slightly.

"Then I will find a chance to go there and see if I can help... By the way."

After recalling the situations of the various royal families he had come into contact with and heard about, Leon asked curiously:

"Director Barto, you know a lot. Can you please tell me what kind of power fragments each of the twelve royal families has in their bloodlines?"

"That's easy. "

The blue-haired old man blinked when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he said:

"According to what Beckinsale told me, when our Cleanup Bureau's Watch Palace selects palace residents, in addition to the requirements you already know, there is actually a less obvious hidden rule.

In the past, those who were selected by the Watch Palace were basically humans who had crossed the gap between humans and gods, or were only one step away from crossing it, and the powers they had comprehended must be the ones closest to the "essence" of humans. "

"Human essence?"

"It's the so-called seven deadly sins and six virtues. "

The blue-haired old man slowed down his speech and said:

"The seven deadly sins are pride, laziness, anger, gluttony, greed, jealousy, and lust; and the six virtues are justice, bravery, temperance, humility, diligence, and mercy. "

"Compared to other powers, these thirteen powers are relatively special. This special does not refer to the strength of power, but the things they represent are inseparable from our human race.

After all, even the most upright and courageous saints will inevitably have some mean thoughts in their lives, and even the most brutal and cruel villains will definitely have a little compassion for the weak.

So these seven original sins and six virtues are the potential commonalities of our human race, and are the essence that we can never abandon. "
