So I became a witch

"Is that so... Hiber." I mustered up my courage and said.

"……Um."

hell!It's like what the hell is the awkward atmosphere when the ex boyfriend and girlfriend meet!We are obviously just a pure master-servant relationship!That's all!

"Ah, you're awake, where's the master?" Lily looked back at me and asked.

"Well, her words are sleeping. Well, can we have a few words?"

"It doesn't matter, after all, the master's order is just not to let them in, but he didn't say that you are not allowed to go out." Lily said briskly, and at the same time gave Xibel a slight bow, "Then, please allow me to leave first. With that said, he hurried upstairs.

I walked downstairs step by step, and stood in front of Xibel, the two faced each other awkwardly, but didn't know what to say.After all, something like that happened.

"Why don't you just sit down first? I saw a big table with a parasol outside just now." In this awkward atmosphere, the housekeeper Clarence suggested at the right time.

"Well, then I will trouble you to lead the way, and Luo Tianchen."

"It's my pleasure, ma'am."

We came to the table by the beach and sat down together. Hibel spoke first: "I have heard all about yesterday from Clarence. I'm sorry about Irene. I didn't expect that she would do such a thing."

Hiber said softly, with a deep sadness in his eyes.For her, Irene was far more important than others. Not only was she a playmate since she was a child, but she even replaced her dead parents and stayed by her side all the time.I am afraid that in her eyes, Irene is already her family.However, it happened that the person closest to her became a spy of the Bolixis family, and almost destroyed everything.Although he didn't say it out loud, Xibel is definitely the most painful person among all of them.

"Also, I'm sorry. As Xia Luohua said, I used you and your kindness. To this day, I have no face to appear in front of you. However, there is one thing that I have to stand here Tell it to you. Can you please forgive Irene?"

"Hey?"

"I know, this is really too difficult. If it wasn't because she poisoned you, you wouldn't be so seriously injured. But even so, you still saved her from that person I know that child very well. Although she did do such a betrayal, she is probably suffering from pain in her heart. Without your forgiveness, she will probably be in such pain for the rest of her life. Bar."

"Well, it doesn't matter."

"Hey?"

"I mean, I forgive her. After all, everything she did was for you, and she even gave up everything for you. How could I hate such a person?" I smiled. He said, "And, at least the result is good, wouldn't it be great?"

Xibel's eyes widened in surprise, and then he showed a wry smile: "You really... No, although I already know your hopeless kindness, but is this really good? For a person who almost killed himself people, but so easily choose to forgive."

"...Yes, but even if you tell me not to forgive or something, I don't know what to do."

"...Ha." Xibel sighed heavily, "Really, even I am starting to feel depressed for you, maybe one day, you will be sold, and you are still counting the money for him? "

"Huh? I'm not so stupid!"

"Maybe. Well, although you forgave her, there are still punishments. I have already expelled her from Alfred's house."

"Ai ai ai!" I cried out in surprise, and said a little at a loss, "But, if this is the case, she..."

"I told her that too, and she herself said that she accepted the punishment, 'I have done such an unforgivable thing, and I am no longer qualified to stay in this home'." Hiber said flatly Said calmly, but her heart will never be as calm as her expression.

"... Is this really good?" I understand that doing this is the best choice for anyone.Otherwise, even if she continues to stay in the Alfred family, other people will fear or loathe her because of what she did in the past. Just expulsion or something is considered the best result.

Chapter 72 Identity

But...unacceptable.

Is this really good for Xibel?

That was her, the only family member.

"Well, that's fine." Hiber smiled lightly, "And then, as the head of the family, I can't avoid the responsibility, so I also gave up control of the Alfred family."

"Is that so... Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey!" I made a louder surprise than before.

"Well, what's wrong?" Hiber said with a smile.

"It's not what's wrong! But, what do you do in this case, and other people's words..." I said a little at a loss.

"Well, I have already asked Charlotte about this, and she readily agreed. If it was her, it must be fine. Now I am not qualified to stay in Alfred's house, so I have to grow up Only later."

"No, no, it fell into that guy's hands. I'm worried about whether you can get it back..."

Xibel let out a "puchi" laugh, and said heartily: "Well, there is always a way. If it doesn't work, isn't there you?"

"Huh? That, but..." I fell into deep thought in distress.

"Well, just kidding, how could I do this kind of thing again."

"Well, if there is really something that needs help..."

"Well, I see. When the time comes, I won't hesitate to ask you for help."

"Haha... By the way, there is also something about Avia Manor..."

"It was completely destroyed. However, it has already entered the reconstruction process. I am afraid it will not be long before it can be restored to its original state. However, many things have been destroyed, including many clothes that I like very much. There is a painting you helped me draw last time, Tianchen."

After all, even the whole house collapsed, and it was not a solid object, so it was inevitable that it would break.

"However, what is a little strange is that the frame itself is intact, but the drawing paper is broken in half from the middle, as if it was broken on its own initiative."

"Well, sometimes this kind of thing happens." I remembered that Irene was clearly hit to the point at that time, but came back to life soon after, but I didn't pay much attention to it, "It's just like this, if you're not here... ..."

"It doesn't matter, I have already handed over all the work to Xia Luohua, after all, she is the acting head of the family now." Xibel said with a smile.

Could it be because of this that the mess was left to Xia Luohua... I complained in my heart.

"In addition, the few people who invaded were arrested by the members of the academy, but they all seemed to be crippled. I am afraid that the mysterious potion they used had unimaginable and terrible side effects."

I nodded. After all, it is a potion that forcibly pulls people to Xingyan, so how could it have no side effects.You must know that even for some geniuses, this process is quite slow and careful, and serious consequences may result if they are not careful. Saving lives is an incredible thing.

"Also there is Alex... It seems that he changed back after the duration of the potion expired, but, unlike others, he completely lost his mind... Or rather, it was as if he had lost the shell of his soul. No means could wake him up. So, I couldn’t ask him about the source of the poison, and I couldn’t find any information about the poison delivered to Irene even in the Bolixis family. It’s incredible. .”

"Well, probably I don't know where I got it." I said vaguely, but my heart was like a mirror.If there is no accident, it is probably the method of that mysterious witch.Where did she come from, why did she control Alex, whether she had any connection with the original masked girl, and what purpose did she have, all of which are unknown.If I sink down at that time, will I also become an unconscious doll like Alex?Just thinking about it makes me shudder.

Sure enough, there is no one to mess with among the witches. The reason why I was able to get out of trouble this time is entirely due to my inexplicable luck, but I can't always hope for illusory luck, I still have to become stronger. .

"In other words, the Bolixis family is completely destroyed, except for uncle... no, Anthony fled alone. Lydias Academy has found a lot of evidence of their secret transactions with the Witch Cultist. I am afraid that waiting for them is only Spend the rest of your life in prison. The crisis has been lifted, so there is no need for me to stay in this city any longer."

"...Really? Are you leaving?"

"I just suddenly wanted to go out and have a look. Don't show such a worried expression. Maybe we will meet again one day. When that happens, I will definitely surprise you." Xibel said with a smile.

"Well, okay." I agreed softly, "Then, goodbye."

"Well, goodbye, my friend."

Xibel stood up from his seat, and walked slowly towards the luxury car parked by the roadside. It was the one that came to pick me up and drop me off, but unexpectedly it was saved: "Ah, besides, Clarence seems to have something to say to you. You say. If he is going to do something strange, please don't mind it and give him a good meal."

"In your eyes, miss, what kind of person am I?" the butler said with a wry smile.

"After all, he is an unreliable guy who doesn't know where to go at critical times."

The butler shrugged and said that there was no refutation: "Then, let's talk about other things in the backyard... Don't be nervous, it's a good thing for you."

I immediately became vigilant. Although he did save Xibel and me, I still didn't change my initial impression of him as a playboy.However, even if he wants to do something to me now, I don't need to be afraid.

In this way, we bypassed Hiber's sight and came to the lawn in the backyard of the clinic.

"Well, first let me introduce myself, I am..."

"Clarence Kathy Alfred, the No.30 second-generation head of the Alfred family, is honored as the second generation of Alfred the Great by others. He is impeccable in both leadership and personal strength. The star-spreaders who once ranked among the strongest among others, under your guidance, the Alfred family even once caught up with the status of the Twelve Clans. They were considered to be one of the most untouchable people in the world. Unfortunately, in your After his death, the Alfred family gradually fell into decline. Am I right?" I raised my head, only to find that the window on the second floor had opened at some point, and Charlotte was lying on the window looking at us .

Chapter 73 Elvis

"Ah, ah, I really can't hide it." Clarence spread his hands helplessly.

"You really have a big heart. You dare to appear here directly by your real name. She probably has a faint sense of it. However, no matter how smart she is, she can't think that the man who has been by her side would actually It was the head of the Alfred family who died 400 years ago."

So it is true that I only knew his first name as Clarence, but never his full name.No, in that case, he is also a member of the Alfred family!

"Well, that's exactly what it is." Clarence smiled at me and said, showing his white teeth. "In terms of seniority, I should be her great-great-great-great-grandfather, right?"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!" I felt like I was about to spend all the surprise of the year today.

"But, in this case, why didn't you tell Xibel your identity! If she knew you were there, she would be able to relax more, and she wouldn't have to bear so much alone..." I asked him excitedly.

Clarence raised his hands: "Calm down, calm down, I also have my own difficulties. Although I barely survived at the beginning, I was really only half a step away from death. In order to avoid being approached by the enemy, I had to keep Those who hid in Tibet did not dare to come back until recent years."

"Even so, do you know how hard it is for Xibel to live alone! Even if it's comforting, at least..."

"Well, I know. Because I have been watching her." Clarence said calmly, "Although she may not think so personally, in my opinion, she is worthy of the name of Alfred. Although This name was temporarily abandoned by her, but one day she will pick it up again. She is not a weak little girl."

"Don't change the subject. I won't ask how you survived, tell me... what happened 400 years ago?" Xia Luohua stared at him like an arrow and said.

"Hey, young people nowadays really don't know how to respect the old and love the young. Well, well, I'll tell you, the answer is... I don't know either."

"You actually said you didn't know?!"

"Well, I really don't know. Not only my strength, my body, but even my memory were also taken away by that natural disaster," Clarence said.

"It even said it was a 'natural disaster'... What the hell is that?" Xia Luohua asked excitedly.

I always feel that there seems to be something wrong with Xia Luohua's mood today.

"Then, see for yourself," Clarence said, unbuttoning his suit.

Just when I thought he was going to be a hooligan and planned to beat him up, I saw the secret hidden under the clothes.

"This is...!" Xia Luohua said with her pupils shrinking.

The place where the skin should have been was now covered by a black substance. If you look closely, you will find that these substances seem to be composed of countless small worms, and they are even slowly wriggling. It is simply like corruption. Like maggots interspersed with corpses that had been buried for countless days, it was frightening.

Clarence re-tied his clothes expressionlessly: "It seems that you have seen it before."

That's right, it's similar to the black substance that surfaced on the surface of the enemies I encountered before after drinking those strange potions, but it's not as disgusting and nauseating.

"What is this?" Xia Luohua asked in a low voice.

"I call it 'sin,' or ... 'sin of man.'"

"'Sin'..." I've heard that term.

"You mean, the one eaten by the virtual beast...?"

Clarence nodded: "As long as it is a living creature, there must be 'sin' in its body, but generally speaking, this kind of substance cannot be measured by any means. Killing or devouring other lives will lead to The accumulation of 'sin' in one's own body. Under normal circumstances, the existence of 'sin' will not cause harm to the human body, at most it will only attract the existence of virtual beasts, but once the accumulation of 'sin' exceeds too much, it will It will become like this. 'Sin' will gradually devour the human body, and then...become a void."

I have heard this word before, in Xingjiang City, the truth told by that man himself.

"You mean, the kind of monster that is born by combining a virtual beast with a human body?" Xia Luohua raised her eyebrows and said in a deep voice.

Clarence nodded: "Well, it seems that you know a lot. The Bolixis family is researching exactly this kind of thing. They are trying to explore the origin of void beasts and draw power from 'sin'."

"So, you too?" I asked.No matter who saw the situation just now, they would definitely suspect that he also used this forbidden power.

Clarence shook his head: "No, I am different from them. If they are idiots who took the initiative to contact this forbidden force, then I am the one who was eroded."

"Erosion? I don't think there is anyone in this world who can erode a star-spawner like you who once had the strongest reputation." Xia Luohua said coldly.

"...You won't understand. People who haven't experienced that battle won't understand the horror at all. For you, the king beast is already the strongest existence among virtual beasts?" Clarence shook He shook his head and said.

"Um, isn't it?" I asked.

Clarence said with a wry smile: "Not at all. Hundreds of years ago, they were just like soldiers, and they were thrown away when they were used up. Most of the king beasts that exist today are just after going through that era. It's just leftovers."

To say that a King Beast that can rival the digital Xingyan Zhe is just a pawn... In the end, what is the situation?

"I can't say much about the specific situation. You should have already investigated it, right? About that era. It's not that we don't want to talk about it, but there is an invisible rule that restricts people like me in the dark. Guy, it sealed everyone's memory about that time. It's like a fault. Ah, by the way, even the Bolixis family is just a group of guys who pick up trash. You know, the earliest research' Who is the taboo of sin'?"

"Who?" I subconsciously asked.

"Elvis Della Schumier." Clarence spat out an unfamiliar name.

……who is this?

"Diraximir... Among the twelve families, the family that controls the Dark Star. Why have I never heard of this name?"

"Because he was dismissed a long time ago. He is a genius and a lunatic. Whether it is the man in Xingjiang City or the Bolixis family, they are nothing but fools who pick up garbage. If you really want to know what happened 400 years ago If so, go find him."

Chapter 74 Guidance

"...I will. But how do you know he's still around? After all, 400 years is not a small number."

"He must still be alive. I'm sure that a guy like him will never die easily. However, you must be very careful when you meet him. He is a madman who gave everything for his own interests. He can Saving the world can also destroy the world. Well, let’s stop here about what happened 400 years ago, and what follows is about this little girl and I. You, you probably haven’t reached Xingyan yet, right?”

"Huh? Yes, yes." I replied subconsciously.

"Then, did you still practice magic? Hmm..." Clarence raised his hand and looked up and down with a gaze that seemed to see through my whole body, which made me feel uncomfortable. The traces of mentoring... It's really thanks to you that you can reach this level, this is already beyond description of a genius. You, you must have some special physique?"

As expected of the super strong man in Xia Luohua's mouth, he actually saw through my details at once.

Seeing my vigilant look, Clarence smiled: "Well, it doesn't matter what you don't want to say. However, the mortal stage is such a process. You exercise yourself, develop your potential, and reach your upper limit. Guidance will be faster, but it should be unnecessary for you. Then, how much do you know about Xingyan?"

"Well, that... connect to the astral world, let your body gradually adapt to the astral energy, and gradually build a star core in your body, like this?" I asked.
