The warden who guards the witches

In the evening, in Abigail's summoning space, Aiden and Abigail sat opposite each other around a tea table.

"It's rare that you take the initiative to ask me to talk. Is there something?" Aiden asked.

This summoning meeting was initiated by Abigail.

"Qiqimora, it's been a while since you went to Gistas." Abigail replied irrelevantly.

"She should have been in contact with you, right?" Aiden asked.

"Yes, but after arriving in Luohui City, it seems that there has been no progress."

"It's not surprising. Finding a specific person in a city is a time-consuming thing, and you need some connections to do it."

"Are you sure the information you dug out from the Smiling Balance is reliable?" Abigail asked.

"Not sure, but at least I can guarantee that she didn't lie to me." Aiden replied lightly.

"Do you think she really has a chance to snatch the Hand of Annihilation from someone else?"

"The chance is slim. The power of the sole authority is above that of the saints, not to mention that the saints of the authority of 'hatred' are also pursuing the same goal." Aiden said slowly, "According to the information provided by the Smiling Balance, Mr. Bloody Clothes learned the clues of the Hand of Annihilation from them a long time ago, but after so much time, even he couldn't get it. You can imagine how difficult it is."

"This is called snatching food from the tiger's mouth. The holder of the sole authority is dangerous enough, and the competitor is a saint who holds other sole authorities." Abby Gail shook his head, "If Chichimora forces it, she won't have enough lives."

"If you're so worried about her, why don't you just go and help her?"

"I don't have that obligation. She'll ask when she needs it, and I'll see what happens." Abigail said bluntly, "Besides, to be honest, I don't think I can help much. My power can bring her back to life, but if she is killed by the power of 'annihilation', I can't do anything about it."

As Aiden imagined, the "annihilation" power of the "nothingness" authority can directly erase things from this world, thereby preventing resurrection.

Mr. Bloody Clothes wanted to get the Hand of Annihilation, and it turned out to be to kill him.

Abigail paused, and suddenly changed the subject: "Your Excellency, you have been so close to Chichimora recently, and provided key intelligence, but you let her go to Gistas alone?"

"It is she who wants power, not me. It is her own wish to pursue power, and she is willing to take this risk. I also said the same thing. If she asks for help, I will help as much as possible." Aiden replied calmly.

"Your Excellency is really more open-minded than I thought. It's okay to do business with us, but now you are actually helping a witch to get closer to power." Abigail said meaningfully, picking up her teacup and taking a sip.

"What do you want to say?" Aiden noticed that the other party had something to say.

"Then I'll be frank..." Abigail calmly put down the teacup, "What exactly is your purpose now?"

"Didn't I say that I guess Mr. Bloody wants to get the Hand of Annihilation, and then I want to stop him. I'm curious about Chimora's desire to get the Hand of Annihilation, so I plan to use her. She is also willing to be used by me. Is there any problem?"

"Then it doesn't matter if Chimora gets the Hand of Annihilation? You are a former heretic inquisitor after all, and your position should not have changed much now, right? Chimora and I are not wanted criminals, but if you insist, we are still criminals who violated the Convention." Abigail stared into Aiden's eyes, "Although we are in a cooperative relationship now, in the final analysis, our positions are still opposite."

"This statement is a bit hurtful..." Aiden smiled and tried to get away with it.

"There's no need to be polite between us." Abigail's voice sank.

Aiden fell silent. Abigail was very perceptive and realized that there were other purposes behind his guiding Chichimora to seize the Hand of Annihilation.

"I remember you mentioned that you have a difficult opponent. Is it related to that?" Abigail asked again.

"Yeah." Aiden responded and raised his hand. "Okay, I admit that I did think about doing Chichimora a favor so that she can help me in the future."

"Am I also a candidate for your assistant?" Abigail asked.

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned that to you." Aiden confessed.

"Is it still inconvenient for you to reveal the information about the opponent now?" Abigail asked.

Aiden thought for a moment and said, "Then let me tell you one thing. You should remember the 'God of Love' Melindahl that appeared in the diary you showed me before, right?"

"Of course I remember." Abigail nodded, "Hmm? Could it be... her?"

"That's right."

"But she's not..."

"Dead, and even the insurance for resurrection didn't work." Aiden continued, "But she still used other methods to return to this world... Or in other words, a successor appeared and inherited her power and memory. For some reason, she targeted me."

"That's strange. For a ruler, it's easy to deal with a mortal."

"This is a long story. For some reason, I was forced to make a bet with her. I tried to get rid of her control, and she would give me some time." Aiden chose his words carefully, describing the situation without revealing too much sensitive information, "So, I need help."

"With the ruler of 'desire' as the opponent, you can still make such a bet. I feel that your experience... is quite rich." Abigail commented.

"I think so too." Aiden smiled.

"But to be honest, I don't have any intention of revenge." Abigail said calmly, "Besides, it is not a wise choice to challenge the gods rashly."

"You told me." Aiden said, "I can understand it."

"To fight against a ruler, quantity is meaningless, and there must be enough quality to be equal." Abigail spread her hands.

"I remember you told me that there must be equal conditions." Having said this, Aiden simply made it clear, "If I provide clues to the sole authority of 'life'..."

"Don't bother with that, I actually know the whereabouts of the sole authority of 'life'." Abigail interrupted him.

"You know?" Aiden was a little surprised.

"Yes, I actually knew it a long time ago, but I can't get it for the time being." Abigail knocked with her knuckles, "Because the sole authority has been tampered with, cursed... or, it is contaminated."
