The warden who guards the witches

Rose Iron Prison, Aiden's office.

"...This matter is my responsibility, and I am willing to accept the punishment." Veronica stood in front of the desk and said with her head lowered.

"No, this matter is not your responsibility. No boss has the right to accuse his subordinates of not doing the impossible. Objectively speaking, no one can prepare for that situation. Strictly speaking, it was not expected. It's my responsibility that Hero became like that, you've done a good job," Aiden comforted.

"Sir, what happened to Hailuo... all of a sudden?" Veronica raised her face, "She seems to be normal suddenly?"

"If I have to explain it, her body was actually snatched away." Aiden thought for a while and gave a short answer.

"What's the meaning?"

"You also know that she used to be a priestess who served the evil god, and her abilities were obtained from the evil god. In the past, she sacrificed herself to the gods she served and let the gods descend on her, but something went wrong in the ritual and failed. The power given by the gods was left on her body, and she was also crazy. But the evil god did not die. She had a little spirit left in Hailuo's body, and then for some unknown reason, the god woke up and took his place. Hero's consciousness." Aiden explained.

"God?" Veronica was stunned, "In our prison?"

"Don't worry, I used this book to temporarily seal her abilities. During this period, I will keep this thing in prison." Aiden said, "She has lost most of her divine power now, only a few of her powers remain. A little bit of power, not an exaggeration, but a little tricky.”

After hearing this, Veronica frowned and thought about it. After hesitating for a while, she cautiously said: "Sir, it sounds like... you know a lot about 'God'?"

"Think about what I did before. I have been exposed to many secrets." Aiden replied calmly, "In this world, God does exist."

"The 'spells' you used, sir, and that artifact..." Veronica realized something.

"They have the same origin, they all belong to divine power, but they belong to different categories - there are many types of so-called divine power." Aiden replied, "I'm sorry, I'm only telling you such specific things now..."

Veronica has been involved in enough incidents now. He also let Veronica use the "Wordless Code". There is no need to hide the information about the word of God from her. As long as he doesn't tell her about it for the time being. Melifilia's information is good.

"Sir, are any of these powers related to the origin of werewolves?"

Veronica suddenly asked a question that was beyond Aiden's expectations, making Aiden stunned for a moment.

"I have checked a lot of specific information before." Veronica whispered, "I saw some classics saying that the werewolf's curse actually originated from an ancient god. Sir, could this be..."

"It's very possible." Aiden nodded, "As far as I know, Dragonborn and Vampires are also human beings who have mutated under the influence of the authority of the gods. I guess that the vast majority of alien humans in this world came from this way."

Since the vampires are humans who have mutated due to the power derived from the "death" power, and the dragonborn are the offspring of humans and dragons who use the "evolution" power of "reproduction" to forcibly mix blood, then the same may be true for other alien personnel. The alien demons that the academic community has never been able to find the source of are most likely derivatives of the power of authority. Otherwise, there is no reason why black magic composed of human language can summon these creatures hidden in the gaps between the planes.

Aiden speculated that lycanthropy such as werewolves and tiger-men are mostly related to the power of "life" or "reproduction", both of which can combine humans with other creatures. In ancient legends, the Archdruid, who believed in the God of Life, was said to have the ability to transform into animals, presumably a blessing from the gods.

But in this era, Druidism had long since disappeared, leaving only some people suffering from lycanthropy, some of whom were infected, and some of whom had blood like Veronica.

Is this related to what Abigail mentioned about the pollution of the authority of “life”?

"Sir, you are so sure, do you...know something?" Veronica's eyes shone with anticipation.

"It's just a guess." Aiden didn't dare to confirm his guess rashly, "Veronica, do you... want to become a normal person?"

Veronica has suffered a lot because of her werewolf ancestry, so her search for werewolf information is naturally not just to satisfy her curiosity.

No wonder she suddenly asked that unexpected question - if you think about it, it makes perfect sense.

If Veronica has this intention, Aiden thinks he can try to ask Abigail for advice. Perhaps, there really is a way to reverse lycanthropy.

"This, if you want to talk about it before, it was really a dream. But now, now, I think it's okay." Veronica scratched her face with embarrassment as she said, "Working in this company now, There is nothing inconvenient about being a werewolf, and there are many benefits. I am more useful to you, sir..."

"How a person lives depends on his own wishes. Even if you are not a werewolf, you are already an excellent prison guard. Have you ever considered reversing your lycanthropy?" Aiden asked.

"Well, actually, I really don't care about my werewolf identity anymore." Veronica lowered her eyes as she spoke, "But you also know that pure-blood werewolves are hereditary to a certain degree. I often have imagination But, just in case our-"

When Veronica said this, she suddenly braked and her eyes widened.

After two awkward seconds, she continued stumblingly: "I mean... if I have children in the future, I will try not to let them go through what I have gone through... I mean, if it is possible... just, just thinking about it."

"I know, I know..." Aiden looked at Veronica with her blushing face lowered and pointing at her fingers uncomfortably, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "I know a scholar in this field, she may know something... Of course, just maybe, I can help you ask."

He could imagine what the second half of Veronica's words just now was.

"Then trouble you, I... now..." Veronica raised her face carefully, but did not dare to meet Aiden's eyes completely, "Can I go back to my post first?"

Now she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, how could she dare to stay here for a long time?

"Go, go." Aiden smiled helplessly.

Veronica saluted stiffly, immediately left the office, and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Aiden looked at the empty corridor outside the door without saying a word.

This girl forgot to close the door.
