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

She basically doesn't need to do anything, just find a hidden place and "swallow" slowly.Sooner or later, she would swallow the entire kingdom of Mebrien, the entire continent, and even the entire world.And as she devours, she will become stronger and stronger, so no one else can stop her.

But it is precisely because Huguang is not as invincible as expected that he has fallen to where he is now.

And the so-called limitation is the "swallowing" of Huguang's ability to acquire, and it will take a long time to digest.Moreover, if an existence with a soul is swallowed, Huguang's consciousness will be eroded.

In other words, Huguang's current "girl" is a symbol of erosion of consciousness.

Judging from what Hu Guang said, when the erosion of consciousness is severe, she will be so confused that she can't recognize her own words. Judging from her state, she should still be in the "mild" state for the time being.

"Do you not like it?"

"It's impossible to like it?"

Hu Guang broke the cage's railing forcefully, and said angrily.

At this moment, Huguang was in a thing that looked like a golden birdcage.And this thing is actually one of the most powerful sacred objects of the Shadow Campret family, the "cage".

Originally, the holy object "cage" was used by the House of Phantom Beasts to imprison the Phantom Beast Mother Goddess in the phantom beast lair in the old capital.

But after Liber and Nightingale reached an agreement in the negotiation, after the Witch's Advent Ceremony, which required the help of Eudemons, was over, Ribel released the Eudemons Mother Goddess as agreed.

But even so, the hatred between the Eudemons and the Campret family does not mean disappearing.

As for the reason why such two parties will not have conflicts for the time being, Liber, the head of the family, and Nightingale, the leader of the phantom beasts, naturally play a big role.But the most important thing is indeed Aiged.

As the savior of the phantom beasts in the old capital, Egyed is now brought into the kingdom of phantom beasts.Until the next time he wakes up, he will sleep in another space that overlaps with this world.

Is this kind of Egyed a hostage?Deterrence?A symbol of peace?witness?Or is it a bridge?

All in all, this time's "journey" of Egyed has a full sense of existence even after he is asleep.

Speaking of which, Riber couldn't help but want to sigh about "fate".

In the past, when he met the protagonist of "The Witch Screams", even if he had no intention of intervening in his heart, the result would still drastically change the trajectory of their lives.

But when it comes to Egged, even if he wants to, he can't change the plot line of Egged, let alone abduct the heroine of that line, Nightingale...

Even with slight changes, the plot line of Egged and Nightingale is still stubbornly and persistently advancing according to the original track.

"I'm very sincere. I've told you a lot of things. Is that how you treat me, big sister?"

Hu Guang's dissatisfied words came again.

And indeed, as she said, her words provided Riber with a lot of information.

That conversation, they continued until late at night before stopping for a while.

Although, what Huguang can say about the Church of Scourge is very limited.However, for Riber, who was almost blinded, even some information that seemed insignificant from the perspective of the lake and the organization was very important information to him.

What's more, the Church of Scourge, a behemoth that only reveals a corner, is a bit too far away for the current Riber.

Therefore, among Huguang's information, the most useful thing is her understanding of the Witch Council like her own and the members of the Campret family.Including the unlucky "Count Campret".

Since, in a short time, he didn't want to escape from the family and the Witch Council.Then, choosing a certain limit of integration is a wise move.

And these "own family information", which cannot be obtained from the books of the intelligence expert Moby, may come in handy at some point.

"I promise you to provide you with a better environment. Isn't it a better environment to switch from the Eudemons Bottle to the 'Cage'? The Eudemons Bottle is a mass-produced replica of the 'Cage'."

"Then you like it so much, can you come in too?"

Hu Guang said sarcastically.

The "cage" is a very magical sacred object. Simply put, it changes size according to the object being imprisoned.In other words, Huguang is now in a birdcage with rails that are close to the body, and the range of motion is smaller than before.

"You have to change your way of thinking. With the protection of the 'cage', it means that you will be safe. You should be at your weakest now, right?"

"As long as you don't hurt me, I'm safe."

"That's not certain. For example, Merian is Claire, and Melita, and Moby. They should all want you to have an accident."

"..."

I don't know if he was persuaded, but Huguang didn't complain anymore.

...

Time passed by every minute and every second.

When the wall clock in Riber's room rang twelve, a black crack appeared in front of him.

The common ability of the White Witch, Rift in the World.

Since no one came out inside, it probably reminded Riber that he needed to go in.

No wonder, when the "madame" notified the meeting time before, she didn't reveal the details.It turned out that she directly connected the passage of the world for each participant...

After a long sigh of relief, Liber walked into the black crack with tense nerves.

Walking for a while in the dark passage, Liber's eyes suddenly brightened.

It was a place like a closed hall surrounded by bright lights.

In the center of the place, one can see a long black and brown conference table at a glance.

If he hadn't encountered some super-expansion, Riber felt that he should have arrived at the conference hall of the "Witch Council".

In the conference hall, the same cracks in the world opened up everywhere as when Riber came.

Others, it seems, have yet to arrive, with Riber being the first.

It can only be said that this is also impossible.Because, if it is a member of the Witch Council who is used to attending meetings in this way, he will definitely not stare at the time like Riber, and walk in as soon as the crack opens.

Riber looked around again.

In addition to the conspicuous conference table in the center, there is another very conspicuous thing in the venue.

That is, a huge male stone statue with a height of about five meters.

The stone statue is in a sitting posture, sitting on the same huge stone chair, with its body tilted and its cheeks slightly resting on its hands, in a rather lazy posture.

The stone chair on which the stone statue sits looks a bit like a throne, and the costume of the stone statue including the crown also has a taste of a ruler.Therefore, Riber tentatively guessed that this stone statue was like a king.

And just when Riber was going to take a good look at the stone statue, he raised his eyes and focused on the face of the stone statue.

Suddenly... an indescribable strange feeling emerged in Liber's heart.

He recognized this face, and was even quite familiar with this very handsome face...

but...

Who is this?

Why in his mind, as long as there are memories and associations about this face, there will be a vague state.It should be the same face, why is the face of the stone statue normal, but the face that emerged in his mind seemed to be mosaic?

This extremely strange discomfort made Riber feel a nausea that seemed to come from the depths of his heart.And the vibrating soul also brought him a strong sense of dizziness, making him feel like retching.

Volume Four: Chapter 310 II, Witch Council

Staring at the huge statue for a long time, Riber only felt that there was something fiercely conflicting in his mind.

The stone statue is right there, anyone can see it clearly.

But even if Riber could recognize the appearance of the stone statue and could see it in his eyes, but when he tried to recall the appearance of the stone statue in his mind, the face of the stone statue would become hazy.

Riber really couldn't ignore this phenomenon that made him extremely uncomfortable.

Therefore, the existence of the stone statue seems to have been releasing a long-term hard control skill on him.

The current situation is okay, but if it is in a battlefield or something, there will be such a stone statue that releases spiritual pollution on him.The consequences are simply unimaginable.

After a long time, after finally turning his eyes away from the huge statue, Riber called him a good guy in his heart.

Others feel the long-lost peace when they return to "home", and his return to "home" is like entering a dragon's pool or a tiger's lair.

A stone statue, a "Madame".

It has nothing to do with whether he has power or not, he will simply be unable to move when he returns to "home".

So, who is this stone statue that will turn into a mosaic face if it enters his head?

Riber thought for a while, and thought of a person.

The original Campret.

In the node of fate, the first generation of Capret is presented in the form of no face.

But after thinking about it more carefully, he felt that something was wrong.

Among the information given by Huguang, one item is that the Campret family and the White Witch Council do have countless connections, and most of the time they overlap with each other.However, the two sides cannot be equated. After all, the Witch Council is still an organization under the Church of Scourge.

In other words, it is a bit strange that the statue of the first generation of Capret appeared in the meeting place of the Witch Council.

Then who else has a mosaic face and is related to the Witch Council?

Riber really thought of a person again, or suspected of being a "person".

That is the "man in the mirror" who will appear on the scene every time a witch comes.

However, the atmosphere given by the person in the mirror is closer to escape.Especially during the ceremony in the old capital.Therefore, in terms of temperament, he is somewhat incompatible with this "king" with a stern face.

Of course, this kind of sensory matter cannot be used as proof.

It's just a pity that Riber didn't ask Huguang in advance, which caused him to be at a loss as soon as he came to the conference hall.

But he felt he couldn't blame himself either.

Who would be free to ask someone if there is a statue or something in the conference hall where they are about to meet.Naturally, Huguang would not take the initiative to come. Without Riber asking any questions, he explained in a predictive manner that there are statues of so and so in the conference hall, and he should pay attention to something when the time comes.

Just when Riber, who finally got rid of the "control" of the statue, was thinking about whether he should take the risk to look at the statue again, and think about who this very familiar statue is.

Suddenly, a soft touch came from his back.

"Ah, it really is the young master!"

Then, what Riber felt was a sense of urgent softness coming from all directions.

Someone hugged him from behind.

Although, he didn't expand the field, and the power of light will not strengthen the more abstract powers such as perception.

Although, the domineering power of the power of light will be reflected in the ability to withstand it and recover quickly even if it is sneaked around by others, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it.

Although, those who will appear in this conference hall will not be ordinary people.

However, completely bypassing his five senses that have been strengthened and become quite sensitive, directly contacting his body or something.

He also couldn't judge whether it was the other party's clever means, or his perception was a weakness that urgently needed to find a way to make up for.

"Let go of me, Hella."

Riber, who had done a lot of homework beforehand and roughly inquired about members of the council from Huguang, didn't panic, but calmly ordered.

Then, he noticed that the soft feeling from the previous pressing was quickly fading.

Turning around slowly, what Liber saw was a woman whose silhouette was obviously bigger than him, standing in front of him.

...

...

The No.13 seat of the Witch Council, "Prejudice" Hella.

Just like the information provided by Huguang.

If in the council of witches, besides "madame", there is someone who can recognize Ribel who is wearing a mask at a glance.And call him "Master".Then she must be Hela who once worked as a maid in the Campret family and took care of Ribel for a long time.

Hela has extremely long, wavy peach-colored hair.On the beautiful face with slightly squinted eyes, there is a gentle and dignified temperament.And the clothing on her body is a huge cloak.And from the gap in the cloak, the standard maid outfit of the Campret family can be faintly seen.

If it was farther away, Riber's first impression of Hela's appearance should be excellent.

However, at a distance of about [-] centimeters, Riber's impressions were only...

So big!

Although the units of measurement are different, Ribel can't get an accurate value.However, according to the original world standard, the current Riber should be at least in the second half of 1.8 meters.

But Riber, who should be enough to be a model like this, stood in front of Hela, and he was actually a lot shorter.

Moreover, although Hella was considered slender overall, her skeleton outline was right there.Therefore, the word "huge" cannot be avoided in any case.

Therefore, Riber also understood why the strange touch appeared near the back of the neck when Hela hugged him from behind.

"Jiu Shu greetings, young master."

With a bright smile, Hella continued to speak to Riber.
