Becoming a God by Raising a Witch

The twilight was deep, the luxurious carriage was illuminated by lights, and the gorgeously dressed and dignified maid Maura MacMillan got out of the carriage.

She didn't know why, even though she could send low-level people to do such a small thing, she decided to come to see Locke herself.

"Master, someone is here, a young witch."

The voice of the weather witch Antonia Madeleine Magdalena rang in her ears.

Locke opened his eyes. Because Antonia was in a gaseous state, he did not see her, but he could feel her presence beside him.

He stepped on his slippers, walked to the window, and saw the luxurious six-horse carriage.

This kind of carriage can only be used by royal nobles. Locke guessed that it was the special carriage of Her Majesty the Queen's maid Maura Macmillan, because the carriage had the crest of the Macmillan family.

The Macmillan family is also a veteran noble of the Tumen Empire, but they have long since turned to Her Majesty the Queen and have never made any unfavorable remarks against the Queen.

Locke immediately put on his clothes and went downstairs to greet him.

Although Maura Macmillan is only the maid beside Her Majesty the Queen, her actual status is higher than Rhaenys.

She was Katerina's internal affairs officer, equivalent to the emperor's eunuch. Although she had no actual official position, she was only one step away from being in power.

Locke didn't want to offend her. Even if he already had two demigod-level bodyguards, he couldn't capsize in the gutter.

When Locke opened the door, Maura MacMillan was already at the door.

"It's so late, Locke Belmont, and you're still not asleep?"

Maura MacMillan asked with slight surprise.

"I happened to have insomnia and saw your crown from the window."

Locke said politely, looking at the hand stretched out by Maura MacMillan, he knelt down on one knee and gave a hand kiss.

Maura MacMillan said with a smile,

"Her Majesty the Queen wants to see you tomorrow. Can I enter the palace at 6 o'clock in the morning?"

"Can."

At this time, I'm afraid there is no option, right?

"Your Excellency Maura, can I ask why Her Majesty the Queen wants to see me suddenly?"

Locke asked tentatively.

Maura MacMillan still kept a smile on her face, "I don't know the specifics, but I think it may have something to do with Rhaenys."

Locke's schedule for today has been decided.

Go to Katerina Palace to meet the Queen at 6 a.m.

Then report to the task force specially established to investigate the Knowledge Sect, meet the team members and arrange an investigation plan.

If you have time, you still need to continue to track down the non-existent necromancer and see where the stolen weird objects have gone.

Of course, the most important thing is to find information, catch witches, and replenish witch stones for Irene.

Since he was recently entrusted with an important task by Rhaenys, he shouldn't have much trouble entering the archives to search for information. Locke believed that with Rhaenys's lazy personality, she might actually have accumulated some real cases about witches that she had not dealt with. must.

This was completely different from the old cases she had tested for herself before.

Before the bell of the Cathedral of Life in Kosolk even rang, Locke got up and packed up, put on his most appropriate suit, put on a half-top hat, picked up his umbrella and pocket watch, and prepared to go out.

As an overnight guest, Angela also got up very early because she was worried about Di Mo's whereabouts.

Angela, who was wearing pajamas and with several colorful butterflies flying above her head, rubbed her eyes and asked in a vague tone,

"Locke, what are you doing out so early?"

"Her Majesty the Queen wants to summon me to see if I am rude in any way."

Locke turned around and asked Angela to give some advice on manners.

"If you have a bow tie, it will look more dignified."

Angela said casually.

"Well, it's a pity that I didn't buy that kind of thing. That's it. I can no longer be charming. Otherwise, what will happen if Her Majesty the Queen is tempted?"

Locke said seriously.

"Remember to come to me when you come back, and we will discuss Dimo's affairs."

Angela said listlessly, then turned and went back to the room.

She and Hannah lived in the same room, and Hannah hadn't woken up yet. Maybe it was because she stayed too late last night checking out information in the study.

"Do you want to come along?"

Locke invites Erin.

Erin shook her head, she didn't want to see Katerina's familiar face.

"All right."

Locke also felt that taking Irene there seemed a bit disrespectful to Katerina.

So Locke took a carriage and set off alone.

Fifty minutes later, Locke arrived at the palace successfully and met the young Queen Katerina, who was wearing a gorgeous dress and had a perfect appearance, on time at 6 o'clock.

Katerina sits on the throne, wearing a crown and holding a scepter, as dazzling as a goddess.

But Locke still prefers Irene because Katerina feels more Machiavellian and oppressive.

Under her perfect skin is a heart of ambition and iron-blooded skills. Even if the people are fooled, Locke is extremely sober.

Facing such Her Majesty the Queen, the best way is to be low-key and perfunctory and show off.

"Your Majesty the Queen."

Locke looked at Katerina's extended hand and kissed her hand in a gentlemanly manner, "Your beauty shines like the sun and the moon."

Katerina's light blue eyes looked at him deeply, the corners of her mouth raised slightly,

"Thank you for the compliment, Locke Belmont. I've heard some interesting rumors."

"Oh? What kind of rumor is it?"

If you need to summon me to the palace to talk about it, it must be gossip about me, right?

Could it be that Her Majesty the Queen knew about Rhaenys and me?

Logically speaking, Rhaenys should keep it strictly confidential, and she would most likely blame it all on the clone and deny it to herself.

Locke was thinking wildly, and Katerina continued,

"I heard that you had an illness three years ago. When you woke up, your personality changed drastically, as if you were a different person."

Are you checking me?

Locke still had a warm smile on his face and said slowly,

"Anyone's personality will change after experiencing death. You can't imagine what I went through. I suffered from illness for a long time, but when I was already desperate, I was miraculously cured. I think it must be the goddess hanging the curtain. "

"I heard that you have been obsessed with finding the witch ever since."

Katerina said slowly.

"That's all slander. I just like young and beautiful women. Everyone has a time when they were young and frivolous and ignorant. I am sensible now."

Locke said seriously.

So why did you come to me? Do you suspect that I am not the real Locke Belmont?

Locke said silently to himself.

'The familiar aura on her body, coupled with the strange attraction to me, the motive of looking for the witch, and Rhaenys's abnormal behavior, all of this shows that the person I have been looking for is actually right under my nose. . ’

Wait, who are you looking for? Who is the person you have been looking for? say clearly.

Locke, who heard Katerina's voice, asked.

"Didn't you join the Abnormality Bureau to find the witch more easily?"

Katerina asked.

"of course not."

Locke told the truth this time. The reason why he joined the Alien Bureau was to satisfy his hunger.

"The witch's heart of the forest witch is with you, right?"

Katerina continued to ask.

"What is a witch's heart?"

Want to trick me? No way.

Locke looked at Katerina blankly.

Katerina explained, "It's the core of the witch. Didn't Boyd tell you?"

Even my partner and teacher knows that I am Boyd. It seems that Her Majesty the Queen pays close attention to me.

Locke relieved his tension with a belly-fuck, shook his head and said, "No, Boyd didn't say that the witch still has a core, but he told me that if you encounter a witch, you must stay away."

"Is that all?"

‘Irene Mostia, are you still pretending? Do you think that if you change your body, I won't recognize you? The Witch's Heart of the Forest Witch has never been found, maybe it was taken away by you. No one except you knows the function of the Witch's Heart. ’

Katerina looked at Locke suspiciously and added in her mind.

This is the second time Locke has been mistaken for Irene.

The first time Hannah thought he was Miss Rococo, but was actually Irene.

The second time was Katerina. For some unknown reason, she mistakenly thought she was Irene.

No, I know the reason.

First, she misunderstood her strange attraction to Katerina.

Second, her strange attraction to Rhaenys made her misunderstand.

Third, the witch's heart of the Forest Witch has never been found, making her suspicious.

This is really a big mistake. How can you explain that I am not Xiao Ai?

Explaining in person would not only expose my ability to hear voices, but also expose the fact that I know Xiao Ai. This is something only a fool would do.

My current situation is like a mute eating Coptis chinensis. I can't express my sufferings, and I can't explain them at all.

"That's true, but if I encounter a weird incident like a witch, I will still step forward without hesitation, because I am an honorable investigator and need to protect Kosolk's safety."

Locke said seriously.

"Sharuna said that when she was looking for the Witch's Heart that day, she happened to meet you in the tavern, and you chatted for a while. In fact, you had a clue that day, right?"

Katerina has already determined that the witch's heart of the Forest Witch was taken away by Irene. Of course, this idea is correct. The only mistake is that she mistook the current Locke for Irene.

She had already walked to Locke, stretched out her hand, and put it against Locke's chest.

If it were his clone, such a close contact would definitely absorb her soul back.

This is also the reason why Irene always avoids her. She and Katerina have a very special status. Whoever is stronger can attract the other.

Katerina's condition is obviously much better than Erin's now.

Katerina's pretty brows wrinkled, and her fair and slender hands pressed against Locke's chest, but Locke didn't react at all.

Except my heartbeat seems to be a little faster.

She changed her position again and moved her hand to Locke's abdomen, but she still didn't feel the missing part of her soul return.

'what happened? ’

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Katerina realized that she seemed to have recognized the wrong person, and she was still touching Locke, which was not in line with her character as Her Majesty the Queen.

"Your Majesty, I'm very sorry. Although you are a very charming woman, I already have my heart set on my own and I cannot be your prince."

Locke politely stepped back and lowered his head.

Katerina's cheeks were slightly red and she laughed angrily at Locke's words.

‘Who wants you to be my prince? I didn’t expect a little investigator like you to be so confident.’
