The warden who guards the witches

The next day, Aiden got on a rented carriage on the avenue outside the prison.

"Sunset Avenue." He said to the coachman.

Today he was going to "Phantom Moon" to meet Melissa.

Such a trip was arranged not because of Melifelia's suggestion, but because of the need to contact Melissa to obtain more information.

After yesterday's meeting with Melifelia, some of Aiden's previous speculations were confirmed.

Melissa is Melifelia's clone and has the power of "desire".

After confirming Melissa's true identity, Aiden was still somewhat afraid of her.

Unlike Melifelia in prison, she is an authority ruler without any restrictions.

Moreover, this authority ruler has a "criminal record" of harming people - although Melifelia insisted that she and the goddess of love Melindahl could not be considered the same person, Aiden knew very well that since they were clones of the same person, her style of doing things would probably not be much different from Melindahl.

Until now, Aiden still couldn't be sure whether the other party had used the power of assimilating spirits on him like he did to the nameless witch... No, the key point of the problem is not "whether", but "whether". Even if Melissa hasn't done it now, there is no guarantee that she won't do it in the future.

Unfortunately, with Aiden's understanding of the "Goddess of Conspiracy", even if she doesn't do it now, she may do it at any time in the future.

To be honest, Aiden's resistance to this kind of thing is far greater than being killed - rather than being brainwashed into another person, he would rather be shot in the heart by Mr. Bloody Clothes.

Of course, if he had to say it, he didn't want to encounter either of the two things.

Mr. Bloody Clothes is still an opponent who can be dealt with by thinking of ways to improve to the level of a saint.

But the "Goddess of Conspiracy"... Aiden couldn't feel any chance of winning no matter how he thought about it. Even if he didn't consider Melifilia who took the initiative to lie down in prison, Melissa alone was a real ruler.

When Melifilia told him the whole truth, he didn't feel any obvious anger or fear - because he clearly realized that facing this conspiracy goddess, whether it was impotent and furious rebuke or humble begging, it would only make him look ridiculous. This ruler had neither shame nor mercy, only a completely different playfulness from ordinary people. There was no point in hating her or taking revenge on her - she didn't care at all. Maybe she would find it interesting if she and Melissa were really sealed in prison.

But this doesn't mean that Aiden won't feel anxious about it. After further understanding Melifilia's layout and means, he realized that his situation was more serious than he knew in the past.

In order to live this second life normally, he has to deal with not only Mr. Bloody Clothes, but also the "Goddess of Conspiracy".

Even if he thinks positively, he doesn't have to deal with the imprisoned Melifilia, he only needs to deal with Melissa - but Melissa herself is also a ruler of power, and there is no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.

The promotion to the ruler of "Order" is certainly a solution, but it is completely within the opponent's expectations... It is better to say that it is a plan arranged by the opponent. It is impossible to think of a way to counter the opponent if you always stand in the palm of someone else's hand.

In that case, while seizing the authority of "Order", he must also find "helpers" outside the control of Melissa and Melifilia.

To restrict a ruler, it is best to use another ruler... At the very least, it must be a sufficiently powerful force.

But the only ruler he can think of who may be hostile to the "Goddess of Conspiracy" is the God of Death believed in by the Blood Moon Cult composed of vampires, and he who has defeated the God of Death's agent can basically be regarded as the enemy of the God of Death.

Moreover, judging from the evil deeds of the God of Death and his agent in the past, he would not be a suitable partner...

At the moment when his thinking was stagnant, Aiden suddenly woke up-no, now is not the time to think about such a countermeasure.

Now he is preparing to contact Melissa to collect information, and Melissa has the ability to read minds.

Even if he had a good idea, after seeing Melissa, this idea immediately lost its meaning.

At this time, the carriage stopped at the destination. Aiden got off the carriage to pay and strode towards Qiuye Lane.

When he walked more than ten meters away, he heard the neighing of horses behind him, and then the driver just now cursed: "Hey, watch out!!"

He turned his head and saw that it was another carriage coming from behind that was too hasty when it pulled over, almost scaring the horses, which was not a particularly rare scene.

Aiden turned his head and entered the alley, and then found the "Phantom Moon" jewelry store, and the sign of "Open for Business" was hanging on the door handle.

The ruler of "Desire" is indeed terrible, but at least now, Melissa will not break his toy.

After making mental preparations, Aiden opened the door of the jewelry store.

Then in an instant, he felt something falling on his head.

His body's conditioned reflex made him quickly exit the door, while he put his hand on his gun. However, he then discovered that what fell down was not a trap device, but a hanging celebratory balloon.

The balloon opened, and colorful notes fell out from it.

Aiden looked at this scene, a little confused.

"Hey, why did you dodge?" Melissa's voice came from the store, "Wouldn't it be a waste of the surprise I arranged with great difficulty?"

After a brief thought, Aiden pushed aside the hanging colored paper and walked into the store.

Then, he saw Melissa standing in the middle of the store holding a bottle of sparkling wine.

"..."After about two seconds of silence, Aiden asked, "What are you doing?"

"You can tell at a glance, celebrating." Melissa's face was full of as if it was a matter of course, "To congratulate you on getting the only authority you have longed for."

"I haven't longed for it for a long time." Aiden corrected, "After all, this thing was half-forced by you to give it to me."

"Then congratulations on passing the test. Even if I gave it to you, this is the only authority that countless people dream of after all." Melissa smiled, "You should be happy anyway."

"..."Aiden had a blank expression and didn't reply.

"Why do you look like you are on guard against me?" Melissa tilted her head with a puzzled look, and then she realized something.

"I see..." After reading the thoughts that flashed through Aiden's mind, she gradually calmed down her expression... and then put on a smile that Aiden was very familiar with, the same smile as Melifilia's, "You already know everything."
