The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

Next, Black Crow added some information about witch power.

For the birth of a witch, the most difficult step is actually to gather these witch powers.

Because, before becoming a witch, a witch is just an ordinary person.Therefore, she naturally couldn't accommodate or digest a large amount of witch power abnormally.

"The last step, how to use the soul as a bridge, do you need my explanation?"

Before Riber asked, Black Crow asked in an understanding way.

But after Riber nodded, Black Crow gave an answer that surprised Ribel,

"Maybe it will disappoint you, but in fact, I don't know the specific things. I just heard that a familiar witch once said that it takes a strong will to move the soul. And this kind of will is often a strong one. emotions, beliefs, or resolutions.”

After answering, Black Crow added another sentence,

"You seem to be very surprised, why I am not completely clear about the birth steps of the Derivative Witch. The reason is that I am not actually a Derivative Witch, but was born in an organization, um... If I insist on giving a label, it is 'Artificial Witch'."

At the end of the conversation, Riber was shocked for the last time of the day by Crow's words.

"So, my power is no match for the real witch. However, I didn't pay attention to this matter. Because, although I used 'inheritance' to describe the relationship between the original witch and the derivative witch, it was not accurate. Strictly speaking, the moment the derived witch is born, there is a high probability that she will become a completely different existence from the past, in all aspects. This does not mean that the derived witch has been snatched or covered by the original witch. Instead, the newly born witch has become a completely cut off from the past, neither the original body nor the original witch, a weird existence with no source at all."

As the voice of the black crow fell, the conversation between the two about the witch came to an end.

...

...

In the afternoon, it was time for the heavy-hearted Riber to leave the old mansion.

This conversation with Black Crow undoubtedly overturned many of Riber's cognitions.

Not only about the witch, but also about the Church of Scourge itself, Riber had a new understanding.

In fact, Riber has always found it strange.

Because organizations like the Church of Scourge, which cannot appear under the sun, often need stronger inciting and demagogic abilities to recruit members.And the members themselves must have a reason to be fanatical and dedicate everything to it.

But in the past, Riber didn't think about how the Church of Scourge came together.

But now, the reason of "witch" seems to be surfacing.

Riber still remembers that before the conversation with the black crow, the black crow seemed to say something inadvertently.

"There is an original witch who is recovering."

From the subsequent conversations, it is not difficult to see that it is more accurate to describe the situation in Greenwater City as "a new witch is being born".But Black Crow still said so.

So, is it possible that the black crow is used to such sayings, so he uttered this sentence that seemed to be a mistake?

For example, among the "sleeping" gods in the Church of Scourge, there was an original witch who was recovering or something.

...

When he was about to leave, Riber tried to discuss with the crow who was especially talkative today.

It is he who is involved in the confrontation between the Knights and the serial killer organization, and may be in danger.So, can the people in the old mansion secretly provide shelter.

After Black Crow thought about it seriously, he still politely refused.

Because it's not just Riber who is being "assessed", the group of people in the old mansion are also in a situation where, strictly speaking, they will be punished by the organization at any time.

Under such circumstances, it is okay to occasionally contact Riber, a "special" person like today, but it is not appropriate to act together for a long time.

However, Crow had another suggestion.

"You can, give me one of the feathers on the tip of your wing after transfiguration."

"?"

Riber just looked at the black crow in confusion.

"The phantom beast you transformed is a bird of death. The reason why the phantom beast is called a bird of death is that when this bird dies, it will turn its feathers into its own phantom, Tell everyone you know about your death."

"...?"

It's not that Riber couldn't say a word, he just put a question mark on his forehead, but his "suicide bird" ability is really too confusing.

real or fake?

The name "Suicide Bird" sounds so powerful, but is his ability so weak?

What's the point of going to tell others when you're dead?

Those who are familiar are fine, and those who are not familiar are simply disgusted?

"Don't worry, you are not a real death bird, and there is a 'perfect cube' guarding you. Therefore, even if you encounter a fatal crisis, you will not die immediately. At that time, I can know you through the feathers If you are in deep trouble, you will naturally be able to rescue them as soon as possible.”

If it weren't for the black crow's reminder, Riber would have almost forgotten that he still has the member mark of the Church of Scourge.

When he first came to Greenwater City, Riber had already ordered Sebastian to buy a magical human skin-like magic tool that could temporarily fuse with the skin, and pasted it where the mark was to hide it.

At that time, he also sighed with emotion, others are easy to tolerate, but he wants to be easy to bear.

"it is good..."

After tentatively agreeing, Riber casually transformed into wings, took off a feather and handed it to Crow.And Black Crow also got one of his own feathers at some point, and exchanged it with Riber.

Although, Riber doesn't know if it is reliable, but in short, he can be regarded as an extra amulet.

At this point, after Riber said goodbye to the black crow, he left the old mansion.

Volume Two: Chapter 120 Two, The Three Phantom Thief Sisters

at dusk.

When he was about to return to the mansion, Sebastian, who was driving the carriage, opened the front window and asked his young master.

"Master, have you noticed that someone has been following us?"

"..."

Riber responded in a speechless manner.

The current situation is not because Sebastian has played a role, but because the butler is talking nonsense.

Someone was following this, Riber discovered shortly after leaving the old mansion.And the reason for the discovery was not because he was so keen, it was simply that the people following him were rattling behind the carriage like driving a tractor.

Riber couldn't help raising his forehead.

In short, you can't just let the other party follow you home, so it's better to get out of the car and ask the other party's purpose.

Sighing, Riber stopped the carriage, and then took the initiative to get out of the carriage.

He didn't hand over this matter to Sebas, because he was afraid that Sebas would backstab him again.

You know, the other party is both female and radiant, almost meeting all the conditions to trigger the "Sebas Backstab" event!

This person was the blond lady who I met in front of the building of the Adventurer's Guild in Dongcheng District, who was acting and playing tricks with the real protagonist.

When he came in front of the blond lady, Riber hesitated to speak several times.

He also didn't understand how this man turned the wheelchair whose tires had become irregular polygons.

"What's the matter with you?"

Riber, who finally said it out, felt a little uneasy.

This adventurer with a lot of bandages on his body looks like a mummy. Could it be that he really came to touch porcelain?

Was he targeted because he went to the Adventurer's Guild in a high-profile vehicle like a carriage?But in fact, he was low-key enough not to use the big carriage of the Campret family or the horse-drawn carriage.

"Please allow me to introduce myself first, my name is Bridget."

The blond-haired lady changed from the madness before she rolled down the slope, and said in a calm and elegant tone, her amber-colored pupils were extraordinarily deep.

It's just... because of this lady who calls herself Bridget, the current image is really a bit rough, making it difficult for her tone and gaze to create a corresponding temperament and atmosphere.

She's sitting in a wheelchair with more bandages than a mummy-looking Bridget.

"Bridget?"

Riber, of course, has never heard of this name.However, he suddenly remembered what Chris had said before.

Those words were said by Chris after learning that the name of the phantom thief was Ryza.

Once, when the three of them were in the basement of Evanna's mansion, when they heard the dying patient say Evanna's alias, called "Brenna", Chris clearly captured Lysa's expression, For a moment, he showed a gratified expression.

Lysa had a hard time keeping her emotions from showing on her expression.At least, it can't be hidden from Chris's observation.

But at that time, it was obviously such a heavy scene, but Lysa showed a little joy.And Chris doesn't think that Lysa has such a bad personality, so he speculates that the pseudonym "Brianna" may have something to do.

For example, the Phantom Thieves are a group of three, and Ewenna's aliases each take a word from the names of the three.

Of course, Chris's speculation is actually meaningless.It's just that, for Chris, discovering this hidden information is already a lot of fun.Moreover, it is difficult for him to restrain his desire to show it in front of others.

And now, after hearing Bridget's name, Ribel suddenly remembered it.

In addition, Lysa once said that because of the maid's unintentional letter, the true protagonist of the Saintess Line has been clinging to her companion.

Therefore, the third member of the Phantom Thieves itself is related to the real protagonist.

The most important thing is the light of this important supporting role on Bridget...

"Phantom thief?"

All kinds of information gathered together, and Riber asked this seemingly absurd question.

Anyway, just asking.Wrong is wrong, and there is no risk.

What's even more absurd is that Bridget nodded generously in response.

"That's right, I am the most experienced one among the 'Strange Thieves'. My sisters seem to have received a lot of care from you, Earl of Campret."

Bridget said with a stern smile.

If it weren't for her funny appearance now, the surrounding temperature would definitely drop a bit.

...

...

Not long after, Ribel invited Bridget to an unnamed restaurant.

Although Bridget is a stranger, and also a criminal named "Phantom Thief", she has a certain degree of danger.And the mansion is Riber's base camp, so it cannot be easily leaked to outsiders.

However, Riber did it anyway.

Among the three sisters of the strange thief, two of them have already been named under his name. It is a brain problem to be wary of the danger of the strange thief now.

And the possibility that Bridget is not a phantom thief, but just an imposter is even lower.

After all, she knew everything about Lysa and Ewenna.

Sitting face to face on both sides of the square table, looking at Bridget who held the teacup in both hands, took a sip cautiously, and immediately let out a muffled sound of "uh" because of being burned, Riber felt quite emotional.

In retrospect, when he just came to this world and saw the "Phantom Thief" active in various parts of the kingdom in the newspapers, almost like idol stars, Riber thought that the Phantom Thief must be a big name.

But in fact, when the "Phantom Thief" is an organization, the style of the Phantom Thief is reduced by half.As for the remaining half, after Lysa and Ewenna dropped a little bit, Bridget, the suspected leader, delivered a fatal blow.

Except for Ewenna, who suffers and hates deeply, this organization is completely a comedian organization...

After a brief conversation, Riber knew that among the two people who acted together with Bridget, the real protagonist was called Nero, and the bald man was called Seid.

And the reason why Bridget and Nero act together is also very simple.

She really has nothing to do with Nero.

Although Nero doesn't have the detective ability like Chris, but he has the extraordinary intuition like a wild animal. Every time, he can force Bridget, who is a phantom thief, into a certain danger, and he can't beat him. Can't get rid of it.

So adhering to the idea of ​​joining if you can't beat it, just as Nero and Said's adventure group recruited people, she directly created the identity of a new adventurer and joined in.

According to Bridget's words, regardless of Nero's appearance, he will give absolute trust to his companions.Therefore, since Bridget became a member of Nero's adventure group, Nero's pursuit of the strange thief has completely stopped.

On the other hand, as Lysa's regular contact was interrupted, Bridget guessed what happened to Lysa.Therefore, they encouraged Nero and Seid, and the three came to Greenwater City together.

Now, Riber understood why Nero, who was supposed to be the hero of the Calamity Witch's line, would mess up in the Sorrow Witch's line.

As a traveler, the butterfly effect caused by him really caused some subtle results.

And this kind of subtlety made Nero accidentally get a powerful teammate like "The Leader of the Phantom Thieves", but at the same time, he also lost the heroine teammate Melita, who has stacked several layers of BUFF.

This... Did Nero make a profit or a loss?

"In Lysa's last letter to me, she described Lord Caprete as a demon who can read people's hearts and enjoy watching others' fear and misfortune. She also said that if she suddenly cut off contact, she must be Mr. Camplet caught him, so I must come to the rescue."
