Hate Me, Miss Witch!

Xia walked through the dark corridor, and the dim lights on the wall beside him flickered on and off.

At the end of the corridor was a spacious room. The guide stopped in front of the wooden door and recited a long list of prayers solemnly and piously.

The content of the prayer is very long.

It is roughly "the Lord who created everything", "the omniscient and omnipotent God", "the source of all greatness", "the beginning and the end", "one and ten thousand", "higher than the starry sky and longer than eternity". The description of the class does not need to be piled in like money.

After doing all this, he gestured towards Xia Ya and then retreated quietly.

Xia Ya opened the door and saw a man in rich clothes lying half on the sofa.

There was a plate of spices on the table in front of him, and lavender smoke rose up and filled the whole room. The man's old face showed an indescribable sense of intoxication in the smoke.

"Land of Dreams"——

Xia Ya recognized the secret alchemy medicine in front of her that was quite popular among the small and medium-sized nobles and could make users hallucinate and ecstasy.

The ordinary Land of Dreams is just a prop used by ordinary nobles to entertain themselves, and what is in front of them is undoubtedly the version with added ingredients, which is enough to make even a master of beast control who has reached the fourth level or above be intoxicated by it. .

If other members of the Brunstadt family saw this scene, they would probably be extremely shocked, because in their eyes, Elder Norton, as the acting head of the family, has always been a mature and prudent person who is as reliable as the sea god in the family.

Even those close to Norton and his confidants would be surprised.

Because in their eyes, Elder Norton is the Lord's agent in the mortal world. He is following Dusk's will and recuperating his energy in secret, planning a grand plan to subvert the Cangting Principality and free the Lord from the seal.

Such a pope-like leader should be a devout believer like an ascetic, and should not be so dissolute.

Xia Ya's guess about Norton was originally the same. He was probably a cult leader who was as bewitched as the Ashes Patriarch, secretly planning some big news.

But now it seems that it is true that he wants to make big news. As for the cult leader who is devout and fanatical... this is open to question.

"Lord Norton."

Xia Ya came to the sofa respectfully, turning a blind eye to the scene in front of her that could be described as depraved.

Norton sat up, with a smile on his old face.

"This is a new product newly modified by the alchemists from the Lost Kingdom. It was just delivered through the black market. The effect is very good."

He pointed at the plate of "Dream Land" and said, "Would you like to try it too?"

"Thank you Lord Norton for your kindness, but my strength is still weak. If I delay your plan by being intoxicated, I will be punished by death."

Looking at Xia Ya's still respectful and calm expression, Norton couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

"No matter what, this is indeed too exciting for a young person like you who has not yet reached the fourth ring."

Norton holds a high position in the Brunstadt family and can be said to respond to a hundred calls. He can mobilize most of the family's power with just one sentence.

However, there are actually differences among those who obey his orders.

Most of the clan members obeyed his status as elder and acting head of the family.

A small number of believers who were bewitched and developed through pollutants were loyal to the Lord who was sealed by the family.

And only the members with foreign surnames like Char, who were adopted and raised by him, and whose lives were controlled by him, and who were helpless in the clan, were the reliable subordinates who were truly loyal to him and loyal to Norton as an individual.

Elder Norton stood up from the sofa and scanned the entire room with majestic eyes.

"I have seen your performance at the coming-of-age ceremony and your contact with Sylvia these days."

"It's good to be able to suppress hatred, get close to Sylvia and gain her trust."

"Now that you have done this, I can indeed explain some things to you."

After hearing these words, Xia Ya's spirits suddenly lifted.

The big one is finally coming?

Ever since he first entered the reverberation of history, Char always knew that Elder Norton was going to do something, but he kept telling riddles, making it difficult for people to get a glimpse of the whole story.

Now that all the foreplay is in place, is it finally time to get down to business?

But this time, Elder Norton finally no longer hid it, but confessed it directly.

“Sixteen years ago, ‘Dusk’ descended from the realm of the principality, and was eventually sealed by the combined efforts of many legends and young family heads. "

"Most of Dusk's power is sealed in the sealing formation underground under the family, while the other small part is sealed in the family leader's newly born child, my niece Sylvia."

"In terms of sheer size, the power sealed in Sylvia is not that much. After all, a newborn baby itself cannot carry much power."

"However, her soul constitution is very special. She is one of a million special cases - in addition to the small amount of power, she also contains the authority of dusk and all divinity."

"The ancient gods cannot be killed, at least not by relying on the power of the legendary beastmaster. Even maintaining the seal is extremely difficult. After all, there is no legend in the principality who will be in charge for a long time..."

"But as long as the divinity and authority are stripped away, those indelible powers will be nothing more than a pool of stagnant water, unable to make waves."

"It can be said that the peace and tranquility of Cangting Principality in the past ten years has been obtained at the expense of her alone."

Norton stared at the purple smoke rising from the "Land of Dreams" and revealed a secret that was enough to cause an uproar in the duchy.

Although Xia Ya had speculated on this information, it was confirmed for the first time.

"Over the years, the secret organizations in the Kingdom of the Lost have been infiltrating the principality."

"They thought they had spent a huge price to finally corrupt me, a high-ranking member of the Brunstadt family, but they didn't know that this was what they thought..."

A sneer flashed across Norton's old face.

"Three months later, those covert organizations planned a major riot, a far greater riot than seventeen years ago."

"At that time, there will be several secret organization-level popes who will go out in person - to rescue their bound master."

"And what I need you to do is to firmly control Sylvia in the chaos at that time and bring her to me."

Norton's scrutinizing eyes fell on Xia's face and he spoke word by word.

"Then--"

"Let her fulfill the obligations of a key and a container."
