Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 402 Return
(I’m stuck, feeling uncomfortable… I don’t know why I suddenly feel like nothing I write is right, so I’ll put up a placeholder chapter today and revise it before 11:30 tomorrow morning)
I have no relation to the main text, so I am posting a previous draft as a placeholder. I have been researching what to write for my new book since April this year, and I have written nearly 100,000 drafts here and there, but the response has not been very good, from science fiction to fantasy, to urban, suspense, martial arts, and fairy tales. Maybe it is because I simply want to write what I like and don’t want to study the market...

I have tried to write some beginnings for others before, both for fantasy and fantasy novels, but the assembly line beginnings I wrote for others received good responses, and the results were also good after signing the contract. As a result, the editor didn’t like what I wrote seriously, and even didn’t suggest that I go in other directions... To be honest, it’s very tiring.

This book is expected to be completed by the end of this year. During this period, I signed a new book at Shao Nian Meng Reading. Currently, it is updated twice a week on weekends and once from Monday to Friday. The title of the book is "Miss Detective's Exorcist Notes". Interested book lovers can go and take a look. It is a Chinese fantasy + rule-based horror story.

If there is no further success, the next book on Qidian will most likely be a fan fiction, either a fan fiction of The King's Avatar or a fan fiction of HP.

Hearing Gagran's playful tone, Adele immediately realized that there was something else behind her words.

The only existence that Adele could think of as a fellow being was the believer of the City of Disaster, Gagran, who had discovered the "Red Angel" Medici before.

What Gagran meant was that those affected by the City of Disaster were not only those on the Witch Path, but also the Medici on the Hunter Path?

Adele was a little surprised, but soon realized that this was reasonable.

The activated source substance can exert a stronger influence on the corresponding top level of the sequence. As the Red Angel Medici, who is currently the highest-ranking one in the Hunter Path, there is no reason for him not to be interfered with and affected by the City of Disaster.

I just wonder if Medici has become a believer of the City of Disaster... Adele thought to herself.

If Medici has become a believer of the City of Disaster, it means that the City of Disaster has more alternatives on the road to actually controlling the two paths, and no longer needs to worry about Chick. For Adele and her group who want to stop the other party, this is not good news.

The worst case scenario now is that the Red Angel Medici completely compromises with the City of Disaster. In this way, the City of Disaster will have a loyal believer whose status has reached Sequence One. Moreover, as a strong man from an adjacent path, the Red Angel Medici poses a much greater threat to the Original Witch Chick than the Sequence Two Gegran. If He really wants to take this opportunity to occupy both paths, the Red Angel is undoubtedly the best choice.

"It doesn't have to be just the 'Red Angel'..."

Gegelan said leisurely, "He is a conspirator. He will not come to the stage in such a high-profile manner when his conspiracy is not yet completed."

"Although I learned before we broke up with the Witch Cult that the Witch Cult still had a copy of 'Conqueror' in their hands, but... you'd better think that this guy can be promoted successfully."

At this point, even Gagran's tone wavered. It seemed that the Red Angel's choice was really unexpected.

Adele immediately thought of the previous events, and the hunting of extraordinary people in the Hunter Path in Intis and other northern continent countries.

"Could it be that he really dares to use those pieces he pieced together..."

Adele couldn't help but get a little excited, "Will this work?"

"If it was a Beyonder from another path, he would have definitely died."

Gagran said affirmatively at first, then his tone became a little hesitant. "But if it is the Angel King who has mastered the uniqueness of the Red Priest's path and uses the unique ability of the Red Priest, maybe he can give it a try... But the success rate will still not exceed 10%."

"What is so special about the Red Priest's extraordinary characteristics?"

Adele asked quickly.

"The red of the Red Priest is the red of war. As the Red Priest of the God of War, His uniqueness can maximize the power of the group, allowing the collective to exert capabilities far greater than the sum of its individuals."

Gagran nodded. "So, if Medici really has mastered the uniqueness of the Red Priest and at least two normal Sequence One Conqueror traits, then it is possible for Him to make this choice. But the highest success rate is probably only one tenth of the normal one."

"Alistair Tudor was a madman back then. He dared to forcibly jump from the Black Emperor to the non-adjacent Red Priest Path. And the current Medici is also a virtuous person. It seems that there is nothing they dare not do."

Gegran sighed, "You should pay attention to that Venata in the future and don't let her have the chance to go crazy."

Adele smiled bitterly. Not to mention the future, she hadn't even figured out how to tell Vinata that she would become a man if she continued to be promoted.

Seeing that Gegelan was relaxed, she felt a little strange, so she asked Gegelan half-jokingly:
"If what you said is true, Medici's promotion is not a bad thing for us, then why are you still in the mood to chat with me here?"

Looking at Renette Tinicole's reaction after discovering Sua's appearance, she opened the door and left without hesitation; and Medici was one of Geglan's opponents after all, but he had no intention of stopping him, and instead talked with Adele here.

“It’s not a good thing, but it’s not a completely bad thing either.”

Gagran smiled and stretched out his hand to grab the surroundings, and a mysterious barrier enveloped the two of them.

"William Augustus must have heard what I said just now. This is his jurisdiction, so let him worry about it."

"After all, I have only just been promoted to Sequence 2. If I were to interfere with the God-making Ceremony directly, there would still be great risks. I might come into direct conflict with the Red Angel, who has at least mastered one uniqueness and two conqueror characteristics. I am too lazy to do such a thankless task."

Then, Gagran smiled maliciously and said, "I have always believed that luck is conserved on a path. Alistair Tudor has already exhausted all the good luck on the Red Priest Path. Medici is now so recklessly advancing, and his success rate is slim. In principle, we just need to wait here for Him to fail."

"is that so?"

Adele didn't believe it. After all, according to Gegran's personality, she was not used to giving the initiative to others. Moreover, the revival of the City of Disaster was such a big thing, even if the other party had only one tenth of the normal chance, Gegran would not completely ignore it.

"Well, actually the real reason is this."

When Gegran saw Adele's expression, he knew that his nonsense was not working well, so he answered seriously: "The moment I felt Medici's presence, I panicked for a moment and wanted to get away immediately to stop his godhood ceremony, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed unnecessary to do so."

"You see, Medici's promotion uses the synthetic Sequence 1 characteristics. Although under the authority of the Red Priest, they may be able to exert authority and capabilities close to the original, they are not the true Red Priest characteristics after all. The Red Priests promoted in this way, even with the assistance of the City of Disaster, are weaker than Chike who has been cultivated by the City of Disaster for thousands of years."

Gegran then said, "And don't forget, what we really want is not to stop Medici, but to prevent Chick and the City of Disaster from devouring the other. Although the City of Disaster may have a helper like Medici, even with a helper, it will be difficult for Him to get rid of Chick in a short time. Isn't this exactly what we want?"

Adele thought about it and found that this was indeed the case.

"Our current enemies are the City of Disaster and Chike. Now that they can confront each other, it's a good thing for us."

Gagran concluded, "I told you before that the witch's role-playing code does allow witches to do whatever they want, but the prerequisite is to figure out what they really want. Only when pursuing that goal can they use any means, and at other times they must remain silent and mysterious."

After saying that, she cast her gaze towards the gradually fading darkness in the sky. That was where Arianna's projection had just disappeared with Ourolius. Now that the historical projection of the Servant of Secrets had disappeared, Ourolius was about to return to reality.

As they watched the darkness disappear, something suddenly flashed through Adele and the others' minds, something they had strangely ignored until now:

In addition to killing Hermes, they also have to stop the plan of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. But now, even though the physical body of Hermes who presided over the ceremony collapsed, the semi-spiritual ceremony did not stop!
Although Hermes did not have the ability to launch a counterattack against many angels, as a Sequence 2 Angel "Insight" of the audience channel, his ability to grasp the situation was unmatched by anyone present. Therefore, he could take this opportunity to complete some psychological hints that did not involve the other party's life safety.

At the moment when everyone was focusing their fire on him, he took advantage of the situation and modified the priority of the goals in the minds of everyone present. He slightly modified the relationship between the two goals that originally had similar weights, "killing Hermes" and "stopping the plan of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom", making the former have a higher priority and the latter a lower priority.

In fact, it is extremely difficult to kill angels with an audience path by physical means if the opponent does not have angels with an audience path and has no means to enter the collective subconscious ocean.

After the fantasy dragon Angerweed was killed by a strong man of the ancient sun god's level, he was resurrected in the body of the psychic dragon Erihog thousands of years later with the help of the miracle city Leviside. Hermes is now only besieged by angels, so it is still easy for him to escape.

At this time, the darkness finally couldn't hold on and shattered completely, and the manifested "Merlin Hermes", "Rossel Gustav", "Azik Eggers", "Will Ausiden" and others also began to fade and disappear, and finally turned into floating bubbles.

When Ourolius, who had soft features and a beautiful face, reappeared on the battlefield, his first reaction was not to continue fighting, but to look into the distance.

Wherever his gaze was directed, silvery-white ripples were shining on the sea surface, and a pure white door was rising and opening from the end of the horizon. It seemed that something like wind was surging, flowing towards the pure white door in the distance.

"Finally finished……"

A hint of unknown emotion flashed through the gentle and indifferent silver eyes of Ourolius, and then He gently raised His hand, and the huge wheel behind Him began to rotate, directly erasing the restraints imposed on Him by William Augustus through the restarting ability of the Wheel of Destiny, and then waved to William Augustus.

"That door has been opened. There is no need for us to continue fighting."

"what do you mean?"

William Augustus' blue eyes were filled with anger. He pointed to the city below and said, "You made the situation like this, and then you tell me there is no need to fight?"

"If you really cared, there wouldn't be Backlund's incident... I say every time."

Ourolius exposed this point without any care, "If Drink can stop it, even with Hermes' support, Matafari will not be able to come out."

The Drinker He was talking about was Drinker Augustus, the second angel of the royal family, the "Balancer" of Sequence Two, who once supported George III's promotion to the Black Emperor.

William Augustus' expression froze for a moment, while Ourolius continued, "I hid the information about Backlund's disaster in the 'Black Knight' potion that was once imagined by the Creator, and reported the news of the angel's arrival to the authorities through her identity. But it seems that you and I have the same idea."

Adele and the others on the ground looked at each other, and the doubts in their hearts were suddenly answered.

Miss Hall had already anonymously informed the kingdom of the overall plan of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom and the advent ceremony of Matafari, but William Augustus stopped Drinker Augustus's actions for some reason.

After the war, the power of the aristocracy grew rapidly, and the death of George III in his prime made the royal power turbulent. In order to solve these problems, William Augustus's response was to delay Drinkham's deployment and let Matafarli come to help the royal family clean up some of the aristocrats, and even curb the development trend of the church to a small extent.

This small-scale test would not cause a quarrel between the church and the royal family, but would become a bargaining chip for the two parties to negotiate, and the Augustus family was happy to see all this. Through this disaster, the Augustus family showed the church its determination to fight to the death, which made the Church of Darkness appropriately return some of its rights to George IV.

However, it was precisely because of the kingdom's inaction that Miss Hall made up her mind to accept Ourolius's gift and become a "Black Knight" completely.
