The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

"Have you thought of anything?" Bernadette asked aloud.

Taking a break from thinking and arranging Chick, Louise raised her head and glanced at Bernadette, and said a little helplessly:

"I finally understand why you said that the 'Witch' path is the easiest to advance to Sequence Five."

This is not a question of whether it is easy or not, but rather, only the "witches" of the "Witch Cult" can be promoted to Sequence Five.

Because almost 100% of the demigods in the "Witch" path belong to the "Witch Sect".

When she heard the content of this auxiliary ceremony, the first thing that came to Louise's mind was the upcoming "Backlund Great Smog Incident".

Panatia will release the disease aura on a large scale, which is the best time for promotion.

However, the key to this auxiliary ritual is that the "Witch of Despair" who provides the disease aura needs to actively cooperate, because only in that way can the promotee be guaranteed to successfully complete the promotion. If the "Witch of Despair" does not control it, it only needs to do a little bit.

Hands and feet will only infinitely increase the chance of losing control of the extraordinary person's promotion.

And once you miss this opportunity, it will take longer to successfully get promoted in the "Witch Cult", because in Panatia's eyes, Louise is still only a Sequence Seven "Witch".

Can she wait any longer... Louise asked herself, and the answer she got was obvious, no.

Moreover, the final ending of "Desperate Nightingale" Panatia was not a happy one. There was a high probability that she would not be alive to help her get promoted.

Wait, since Panatia will release diseases without scruples in Backlund, and this uncontrolled aura cannot assist promotion, then why not make this disease aura controllable!

If I don’t have to be the mountain, I can be the mountain!

An idea flashed in Louise's mind. Although she couldn't control the disease aura of a demigod witch with her strength, she knew that a certain magical item could definitely do it.

The ring in Triss's hand is a "0" level sealed item of the "Witch Sect".

With the help of that ring, Triss could easily see her own sequence, which was something that the "Witch of Despair" Panatia had not been able to discover. Moreover, Triss even made it clear that the Beyonders of the "Witch" pathway

There are no secrets in front of her...

For Louise, she does not want to change the outcome of the entire "Backlund Great Smog Incident", but only needs to make some small changes to help her get promoted smoothly. If she relies on a "0" level sealed object,

Maybe it's not difficult.

Who would have thought that the story would return to its starting point again.

What's more, Louise planned to get the ring, she didn't even need to make a second plan.

Seeing Louise's expression constantly changing, from confusion to finally the light appearing in her eyes, Bernadette said:

"You seem to be having a hard time with this auxiliary ritual?"

Louise quickly shook her head and denied:

"No, no, no, I am an important member of the 'Witch Cult', how can I be in trouble? In fact, a demigod once offered to help me advance to Sequence Five."

Bernadette smiled and said nothing, and looked at Louise with a half-smile, until the latter lowered her head, and then said:

"It better be."

"I have a hunch that when we meet next time, you may not be a member of the 'Witch Cult'."

Even if I will definitely defect to the "Witch Cult" in the end, it's very rude of you to keep saying that... Louise replied with a smile:

"At that time, I will probably work for you."

"I'm looking forward to that day." Bernadette said, then stood up, waved her hand, and the paper-like object appeared under her feet, quickly rose into the sky and disappeared completely.

At least she didn't "turn around", and Louise was happy about this. She looked at the sky, under the light of the red moon, and the clouds covered with crimson gauze, and her mood quickly returned to calmness from excitement.

Everything went smoothly. The main ingredients of the potion and the auxiliary rituals were solved at the same time. She really deserves to be the "rich woman" Bernadette!

Before being promoted to "Pain Witch", there is only one question left, is it going well for the little "Sun"?

…………

In the Silver City, at the bottom of the tower, in a small room that was used as a prison, Derrick still had not been released.

Being locked up in this room, he could only rely on the guards who came to deliver meals every day to judge that two days had passed since the last "Tarot Session".

Originally, after hearing Miss Power's analysis and speculation at the "Tarot Club", Derrick regained a lot of confidence, but being locked up like this is not an option!

He tried to ask the guard who delivered the meal if Mr. Chief had left Silver City recently, but unfortunately, he did not get any answer for such a sick man who rushed to seek medical treatment.

The "Sun" pathway does not have the extraordinary ability to soothe emotions. Derrick's worry is growing day by day, fearing that the Chief will imprison him underground for decades, just like the exploration captain who was possessed by Amon.

After the daily routine of extraordinary ability training, he lay on the cold stone bed with his eyes empty, thinking whether he needed to recite the honorable name of Mr. Fool and request to communicate with Miss Power.

Suddenly, Derrick sat upright in bed because he heard the heavy sound of the stone door being opened.

"It's not time to eat now. Could it be that the chief is back?"

He was full of excitement, and his pupils reflected the slowly opening stone door, but what appeared in his sight was not the Chief Sir, but Elder Lovia!

Derrick subconsciously wanted to put on a defensive posture, but in the next second he noticed several guards standing behind Elder Lovia, as well as the chief minister with a calm and solemn expression.

"I didn't know you lived next door, otherwise we could chat in our free time." Lovia said with a faint smile, as if to express her friendliness.

Derrick also realized it. It turned out that Lovia had been detained in the room next to him, which was the room where the exploration captain who was once possessed by Amon was held, but he had never discovered it.

However, he looked at Lovia coldly and did not give any response.

Derrick has always believed that Lovia was contaminated by the "True Creator" and would bring great harm to Silver City. Before that, he would have made false promises to her, but now he has confessed to the Chief about "The Fool"

There is no need to pretend anymore, so I am too lazy to deal with Lovia.

At this time, the chief of Silver City took a step forward, his eyes full of determination, and he said:

"Derrick, the council has made a decision. Your sacrifice ceremony will be allowed. Elder Lovia will accompany me to visit. Do you have any questions?"

Derrick thought of the confident Miss Power, and then of the unfathomable Mr. Fool, and then nodded slightly and said:

"no problem."

"Then come with me." The chief said calmly, then turned around and walked at the front.

Lovia smiled at Derrick and said:

"I am looking forward."

Derrick said nothing and watched intently as Elder Lovia turned around and walked behind His Excellency the Chief. He paused for a moment, then took steps to follow.
