Chapter 106: The Blood Witch Anno

Chapter 106 The Blood Witch - Anno

The moment Raven opened the Eye of Truth, he clearly saw that the silver robe wrapped in something that seemed not to be a physical entity, but an indescribable brilliant light!

It was similar to the power of light in the priest's body, but the essence was completely different. Just one glance and Raven felt that his mental power was evaporating rapidly.

He immediately closed the Eye of Truth.

Ding-ling-ling.

The woman swayed and walked in front of Raven with a bright silver long staff. She bowed slightly, and a crisp bell sounded, and her voice was as beautiful as a bell: "Baron."

As she spoke, she reached out and took off the hood on her head, which immediately attracted Raven's attention.

Her hair was soft and beautiful brown, silky and slender, and the moon-white oval petals that seemed real and illusory were dotted on it. There was no meaning of stealing the show, but instead made her temperament more elegant.

On her forehead was a heart-shaped crystal necklace made of an unknown metal, showing a light gold color, but with a trace of mysterious brilliance, it was definitely not an ordinary ornament.

Her skin was white and smooth, with almost no pores, soft lines, and generous facial features, just like a statue carefully carved by an artist, holy and noble, but it gave people a beautiful and charming impression, which made Raven's heartbeat slightly faster.

Gathering his thoughts, Raven asked in a deep voice: "What is the name of this lady?"

"Annuo." The woman opened her red lips lightly and sat down on the chair opposite Raven. She poked the long stick in her hand on the ground and stood there naturally, flashing a star-like light.

The Eye of Truth opened and closed in an instant, and Raven's heart was slightly shocked.

Enchanted equipment, above level seven!

Seeing this scene, Raven calmed down instead - this kind of strong man was not something he could resist now. If the other party really insisted on killing him, he would not go to such great lengths.

Anno noticed the change in Raven's mentality, and a smile appeared on his lips: "You are indeed calmer than most nobles of this generation in the Keynes Empire."

"You are flattering." Raven nodded gently: "What do you want to talk to me about, Ms. Anno?"

"The long river of fate is flowing, and the Middles Continent will usher in another turning point in history." Anno's voice was ethereal and long, and a deck of cards appeared in his hand without knowing when.

I don't know what material this card is made of. The texture is thick and solid, engraved with vortex-shaped patterns, reflecting the blue, metallic light, almost sucking people's eyes in.

Putting the cards on the table, Anno spread his palm and stretched out his slender white fingers: "Please choose three from this pile of tarot cards."

Raven frowned slightly.

Cards have a very rich meaning in mysticism, which can be said to be a concentration and extension of the concept of "books".

Tarot cards are cards specifically used for divination.

Divination linked to mysterious power often affects reality in various forms.

An Nuo just watched quietly without urging.

Taking a deep breath, Raven made up his mind - it was a blessing, not a disaster, and it was a disaster that could not be avoided.

He pulled out a card from it. The moment he touched the card, a trace of coolness flowed into his body, and he felt that the magic and mental power in his body were agitated. In the dark, it seemed that he had established an invisible connection with some mysterious existence.

An Nuo did not speak, and Raven did not stop. He pulled out three tarot cards in succession and placed them on the table.

"Please turn them over." An Nuo said softly.

"What's the order?"

"You decide your own destiny."

Raven did not hesitate and picked up the card on the far left.

With a click, the card was turned over.

On it was a young man in ragged clothes, holding a long stick with a tattered bag on the tip of the stick. He stood on the edge of the cliff, the north wind was biting, and there were icebergs in the distance, but he had a blind smile on his face, and a sloppy puppy ran around at his feet.

Just like a dynamic picture from the previous life, the content on this card is also very vivid.

"The Fool, what a good card." Although he was praising, Anno's voice was quite flat.

"The reversed Fool means that although you have chosen a road that is destined to be full of thorns and bumps, you embark on the journey without fear. It can be said to be unwavering, or it can be said to be blind and foolish."

There was not much ripple in Raven's heart.

He has always known that a smooth fate belongs to only a very few lucky people, and he is definitely not one of them. Whether it is to be promoted to a noble title, expand territory or improve strength, it is impossible to be smooth sailing.

"Please continue." Anno smiled.

Reaching out to the middle card, Raven hesitated a little, jumped to the far right and opened it.

The back of this card is gray, waving a knight with broken armor, holding a black flag representing the funeral news in his hand, and handing the letter to a crying lady.

Inexplicably, Raven felt that the face of this lady was somewhat similar to Denise.

"Death." An Nuo sat up slightly: "Upright, this symbolizes the end of the event, the decline of life, and also means that the path you choose is destined to be full of dangers of death. If you are not careful, you will fall and wither."

"Can I ask why you skipped the middle card?"

Raven answered without thinking: "Because I want to."

An Nuo's eyes showed some expectation: "Then please open the last card."

Taking a deep breath, Raven picked up a corner of the card with his fingers and gently turned it over.

This time, the card surface was a roulette wheel, with mysterious words engraved on it that Raven didn't understand.

The roulette wheel kept spinning and was carried on the back by a devil with long horns. On top of the roulette wheel was a sphinx holding a long sword. At the four corners of the card, there were angels with open wings and vibrating wings. There are swans that fly high, vipers that spray venom, and hungry wolves that show their teeth and claws.

"The wheel of fortune, reversed!" Annuo's eyes showed an unexpected brilliance: "This represents the impermanent destiny. Your future is full of infinite possibilities. You will continue to gain, but at the same time, you will also gain. Pay a price you didn’t expect!”

"Interesting, really interesting."

Raven was a little confused: "Ms. Anno, can you make it clearer?"

"According to the order you chose at the beginning, these three cards should be Fool, Wheel of Fortune, and Death." Annuo clasped his hands together and said with a girlish playfulness: "This originally meant that no matter how tortuous the process was, You will eventually fall short before reaching your goal and die."

"But your choice has changed the positions of the God of Death and the hand of fate."

Raven's eyes lit up: "This means that I can avoid the ending of death?"

"That's not entirely true." Annuo shook his head:

"The Fool is the past, Death is the present, and the Wheel of Fortune is the future."

"You are about to face a life-and-death crisis. If you can survive it, you may have a wonderful life in the future; if you cannot break through..."

"Then I will still die," Raven continued her words.

Annuo nodded slightly, and the crystal headband on his forehead swayed slightly: "So, if you want to avoid this disaster, you'd better stay in the bloody highlands for a while."

Raven looked into Anno's eyes: "Is this a persuasion or a threat?"

"None of them." Annuo snapped his fingers, and the tarot cards on the table automatically gathered together, and suddenly disappeared: "It's just a possibility of destiny."

Raven still asked the question that was deep in her heart: "Ms. Anno, what exactly do you want from me?"

"A promise." Annuo stood up and grabbed his scepter: "But you can't give it to me now."

"If you are still alive after this turmoil, I will come to find you."

After saying that, a burst of light flashed, and Annuo's figure disappeared into the room.

Plop.

Margaret's body fell limply to the ground, panting heavily, like a fish about to die of thirst.

After she replied a little, Raven cast a doubtful look: "Do you know Annuo?"

"...No, Lord Baron, I don't know her." Even though she was wearing a layer of human skin, Margaret's voice still became sharp and hoarse: "I just...have never seen such a powerful person. Witch!"

"Witch?" Raven emphasized his tone: "You mean, she just put on a layer of skin?"

Sitting up, Margaret's voice was full of jealousy and admiration: "No...she doesn't need it. She was born so powerful and beautiful, and she will be even more powerful in the future."

"Mother Goddess, I thought the 'Divine Blood Witch' was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to actually exist."

A witch is a woman born with unique powers and talents.

"God-blood witches" does not really mean that they have the blood of a true god, but because their existence itself is as rare as a miracle.

Its power is almost as powerful as the legendary Titan.

"Lord Baron, since she is divining for you, the fate revealed is not just a possibility, but a crisis that is bound to come!"

Margaret's life was in Raven's hands. Raven stepped into danger, and it was difficult for her to survive alone: "It's better to follow her advice and stay longer in the bloody highlands!"

Raven rubbed his chin, which had sprouted stubble again: "Danger...heh."

The fate of "Death" may indeed be coming.

But so what?

Now that he has chosen a path, Raven will not stop there.

If he wanted to accept his fate, he would have died in Donald's hands as early as when he first crossed over!

Feeling Raven's determination, a trace of fear appeared on Margaret's face.

Crazy, really crazy!

The most terrible thing is that she has to accompany this madman to go crazy!

"Back off." Raven stood up and walked to the bedroom: "Let's leave on time tomorrow morning."

That night, Raven chose to continue meditating.

Facing difficulties head-on does not mean risking death.

Before that, he must seize every opportunity to improve his strength.
