The witch thought I am a Demon God

Ivita told the Hearthstone Witch what he had learned on the third floor of the castle, and said to her: "This should be the sacred spring that the Frog Princess said. The Frog Princess's diary said that her magical talent came from Obtained from this spring."

The Hearthstone Witch frowned. "From the story in that diary, the frog princess's father - [Lizard King] is a very powerful knight. After he saved the residents in the mountainous area, he was regarded as a lord."

"But he was soon corrupted by the treasure. The evil within him attracted Marco Anson and his associates."

Ivita sighed: "It seems that the desire for treasure, whether you are a commoner or a great lord, is difficult to avoid."

The Hearthstone Witch blinked. "Many people are actually very evil at heart. They just don't realize that they are bad and have the conditions to become evil. That so-called Lizard King, I think he is like this! Once a person gains power, his personality will change. A person's personality will change. Only after passing this level can his character become more or less stable."

"Otherwise, we cannot entrust him with important tasks."

Ivita looked at the Hearthstone Witch curiously. "Then what's your situation?"

The Hearthstone Witch thought for a moment. "My personality seems to have always been great, and my personality is very stable. I never do good things!"

"..." Ivita.

While the Hearthstone Witch was talking to Ivita, a faint light suddenly lit up in the center of the originally dry sacred spring. Although the light was weak, it was very strong.

The spirituality of the withered heart of the Black Heart that Ivita had seen before was very inferior to the strength of this light.

Hundreds of light points suspended above the spring emerged from the sacred spring.

The light points of these springs are connected to each other, creating lines of light. These lines of light actually combine to form a huge figure, which is actually a giant mermaid.

Her fish tail is as big as an elephant.

Yvetta and the Hearthstone Witch stood before her like dwarves.

The sacred spring water began to spray out some weak water, as weak as the breath of a dying person.

"After so many years, there are still people who dare to enter the Frog Princess's castle. It seems that there are people who despise their own lives, no matter in any era."

"The existence of the laws of the Seven Seas Code makes me too weak."

"This place has been uninhabited for many years, and no one obeys the laws of Cross Island. I have lost almost all my strength. Until I met you, there is someone in you who carries the last trace of people in this castle who is still willing to abide by the laws of Cross Island. The breath, so I was able to wake up from eternal sleep."

Every scale on the huge mermaid's body was emitting colorful light. When she lowered her head and looked at Ivita and the Hearthstone Witch, her long golden hair hung naturally like a waterfall, as if falling from heaven to the earth. generally.

This is an ‘oversized beauty’.

The spring mermaid said: "I am the patron saint of the sacred spring. Although I also want to say it outright, but judging from the current situation, I really have no shame in saying that I am the patron saint of the spring water."

"You two...one is a witch and the other is a wizard. They are the worst combination in the entire continent. What is your purpose in coming to the Fountain of Wisdom?"

The Hearthstone Witch glanced at Yvetta.

However, Ivita said warily to the spring water mermaid: "I have too many questions. But I can start by introducing my identity. I think this is the beginning of an exchange of respect and mutual trust between us."

The spring mermaid is noncommittal.

Ivita said to the spring mermaid in mid-air: "My name is Ivita Arthas. This is the guardian of Hearthstone Castle and the Hearthstone Witch."

Upon hearing Ivita's surname, the spring mermaid's originally casual look suddenly became serious.

The spring mermaid muttered to herself. "Are you from the imperial family? It's been sixty years since you came to seek justice. Where have you been for the past sixty years?!"

Ivita said to the spring mermaid: "I want to know what happened to this castle sixty years ago, why the frog princess and her territory disappeared, and how many forces are there to prevent me from investigating?"

The spring mermaid said: "I can tell you all these questions. Sixty years ago, the Frog Princess's castle was attacked by the Black Death servants. The Frog Princess disappeared into the castle. No one knows why the Black Death servants suddenly attacked this place. A castle, but not only the princess, but also the sacred spring was burned to the ground. Hundreds of thousands of warriors and knights who swore to defend the sacred spring died here. They didn't even have time to pick up their weapons because of the rush of time."

"The terrible minions of the Black Death destroyed this place in an instant."

Iveta's pupils suddenly narrowed.

Because it is obvious that someone is using the hand of the natural disaster, the Black Death, to destroy the castle and kill the warriors who are loyal to the Holy Fountain.

There is a high probability that the Lizard King and Marco Anson did it together.

Although these warriors were all subordinates of the Lizard King, I am afraid that the sacred spring was what those knights were sworn to defend at that time. Even the authority of the lord could not override the knights' belief in the sacred spring. Therefore, this castle suffered A big disaster.

But this also shows that the Black Death had already appeared on Cross Island sixty years ago and was still under the rule of Cross Island Law.

correct.

Ambrose wasn't that far away.

That’s why the source of the Black Death chased the [Light and Dark Lady] all the way to Ambrose, and was eventually suppressed by the Chitose Fire.

This way everything is connected.

The huge spring mermaid said: "During that attack, the princess lost her trace. Without the princess, I also lost my strength. I was attacked crazily by the Black Death and almost disappeared."

"Then later, there was a new law. During my sleep, it passed an unknown method and took away the power of the law from our brothers and sisters."

Ivita: "You don't know what the method is? Is it possible that it's grafting?"

The huge spring mermaid was lost in thought, and she touched her chin with her fingers. "Hmm... it's possible, but I'm not sure. The real secrets are hidden in the territory where the Frog Princess disappeared. I think the disappeared Frog Princess and Lizard King should still be in the disappeared territory."

"Eternal punishment."

Ivita: "Why did their territory disappear? Do you know why?"

The Giant's Fountain Mermaid said: "You have a lot of questions. But as the first person I met after waking up, I will tell you all. The man named Marco Anson asked the Lizard King and her daughter to prepare There was a magic ritual. I tried to stop it through dreams, but I failed. But I don’t know what the magic ritual was..."

"All I know is that those pirates were up to no good, they were very evil, and they created new laws on Cross Island."

"The place where their magic rituals are held is exactly in the territory that you said disappeared. This cliff is actually the edge of the Lizard King's territory."

The Hearthstone Witch glanced at Ivita in panic, because the Lizard King was already a fifth-level professional sixty years ago.

It would be very troublesome if he was in the disappeared territory.

God knows what he has become in the past sixty years.

The Hearthstone Witch whispered to Ivita: "Your Majesty, in fact, the way to obtain territory is not necessarily through this route. Let's just take the doomsday stone on the castle and leave."

"I feel like the water here... is too deep. There's no point in delving into it."

Ivita also hesitated.

The huge spring mermaid seemed to understand Ivita's thoughts. She said: "Cross Island was originally ruled by six sacred springs. Each spring would choose three heroes and one princess of its own."

"These heroes and princesses are the key to ruling Cross Island, and the person who is recognized by the six springs at the same time is the Duke of Cross Island."

Ivita and the Hearthstone Witch lamented that such a powerful law existed on a small cross island.

But even this kind of law is still calculated by people, and now it has become desolate.

Hearthstone Witch said: "Very good, but what does this have to do with us?"

The huge spring water mermaid seemed not to have heard what the Hearthstone Witch said, and continued: "The doomsday stone on the top of the castle is something installed by the Ice Witch."

"She once promised the Frog Princess that it was something that could absolutely protect her, and it had a powerful magic [Doomsday Clock Curse] attached to it."

Ivita asked: "The doomsday bell curse?"

"Well, I don't know what that is," said the giant spring mermaid.

The Hearthstone Witch sneered. "Ridiculous king, ridiculous princess, you are just barbarians who have not incorporated the laws of the nobility and the kingdom, nor have you joined the sacred international system led by the church and call yourself kings."

"Let me tell you what the Doomsday Bell Curse is. It is the proud magic of the Witch Queen. Legend has it that it was a spell created by a contract monster. It has terrible destructive capabilities. It is a powerful magic that increases in power with the strength of its owner. People and things killed by this magic cannot be restored."

"Someone once said that the Witch Queen can use this magic to destroy a city with a population of more than half a million people at once."

"I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, it's a great magic."

The huge spring mermaid sighed, "What a terrible magic. But when the Black Death invaded, the magic originally attached to the Doomsday Stone was not activated."

"So if you want to take it, just take it."

"I just want to tell you that if you agree to grant one of my requests now, you will get everything you want."

Iveta was originally prepared to retreat temporarily, observe the situation, and then make plans, but now he stopped. "Okay, tell me first."

The huge spring mermaid said: "Theoretically, everyone who is close to the sacred spring can drink a sip of the sacred spring water to recover from injuries all over the body and gain some spiritual power. But now I no longer have that power. .”

"If you can help me rescue the frog princess in the disappeared territory and bring her to me, I will have a way to entertain you two with sacred spring water."

The giant spring mermaid looks towards the Hearthstone Witch. "Those who drink the sacred spring water will be given a chance to be reborn. Any remaining distortions in their bodies caused by the failure of magic will disappear. Maybe your master doesn't need this spring water, but you do."

When the Hearthstone Witch heard this, her eyes lit up. "Your Majesty, should we think about it again..."

Ivita looked at her with disdain. You were the one who persuaded me to leave before, and you are the one who persuades me to continue now.

The Hearthstone Witch wanted to fight for it. She said to Ivita: "I think that force seems to be afraid to show up for some reason. Wealth and honor must be gained in danger. If we don't dare to try, then we will miss someone. What a huge opportunity.”

Ivita continued to look at her with disdain. He wanted to know the moral bottom line of the Hearthstone Witch.

The huge fountain mermaid turned to Ivita and said: "The Frog Princess was once the princess chosen by me, one of the six princesses on Cross Island, so she is a very important existence. The pirates flattered her father by , to get her, this is very unfair to her. In addition, if you can save her, I believe that the princess's territory will be handed over to you, which is a huge territory equivalent to two and a half viscounties."

Iveta's pupils suddenly narrowed.

Because the Ice Wolf Viscounty was swallowed up by him, although it has not been completely digested yet, he does have seven viscounty territories.

There are also a bunch of scattered baronies, the independent town of Maple Leaf Town, and a few independent knightly territories.

If you add in the territory where the Frog Princess disappeared, you can barely make up the earldom.

Ivita frowned. "No one knows what is in the disappeared territory, maybe there is the Lizard King's army. That is too dangerous."

"If you can agree, I can also give you an island on the edge of the Cross Island, equivalent to the viscount's territory." The fountain mermaid continued.

When she saw Iveta showing a look like, "You're playing tricks on me," she explained: "As part of the law, I can't leave the fountain. But I was not the patron saint of the sacred spring at the beginning. I entered voluntarily." Sacred Spring, before protecting the Sacred Spring, he was also a Mermaid Viscount Lord.”

Ivita's pupils narrowed.

He remembered the three witches from the East who voluntarily threw themselves into the flames in exchange for the growth of Thousand Years of Fire.

This giant mermaid and the Three Witches of the East are all of the same type.

"If that's the case...then I can agree..." Ivita estimated that these things were enough for him to take a risk.

As the Hearthstone Witch said, you would be a coward if you didn't even dare to take advantage of this kind of opportunity.

The spring mermaid was relieved to see Ivita agree. "I know from the fire in your left eye that you are a very honest person. But I have lost the ability to choose heroes. I'm sorry, this is my mistake."

"Now I can only give you this."

A bean-shaped object emitting a faint light floated in the air and slowly flew in front of Ivita.

Ivita looked at the mermaid, the patron saint of the fountain, in confusion. "This is?"

"There must be new life in the midst of destruction. These are the seeds that emerge from the dry springs." The mermaid said indifferently: "It is one of the essences of Cross Island's law. If you gather six of them, you only need to plant six seeds on the ground. Six new fountains of law will appear, and you will become the new Duke. Remember, remember, be careful of your enemies. Although I was kept in the dark sixty years ago, I know that the enemies are on the other side. The power...is huge."

"You are a member of the royal family. I think you can definitely fulfill the obligations of the empire and protect us...your people..."

"Goodbye...bring the princess here...I will give you a new blessing..." The guardian mermaid seemed to have consumed too much, and her body turned into light, then into a point of light, and disappeared into the air.
