Witch, Fireball and Steam Evil God

Chapter 216 Who are you?

The Nightmare Witch became anxious.

Ever since she left the empire and became a follower of the evil god for eternal life, she has never been as anxious as she is today. She was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She wanted to grab the young man by the collar and ask him what kind of magic potion he had given to Winter.

That’s right, it must be a love potion or some kind of mind-control spell that turned Winter into a girl in love!

She has always been a reserved person. Although she never said it, she had already regarded Lin Dong as her student in her heart.

Winter's experience, her determination and hatred, and her decisive style of action will make her the best witch. Even her partner Rowena was carefully selected by Nightmare.

Rowena's situation is the same as Winter's. Both of them have been persecuted by the empire. The two have a common goal. Rowena's frugal and even stingy character allows her to arrange the funds for travel missions well and take care of Winter's daily life. More importantly, Rowena is not a believer of Bazatos. She is one of the most emotionally stable people in Dream Eclipse. When they are partners, she will not let Winter develop bad habits.

Nightmare also planned a future path for her student. When she returned to the empire to complete her revenge, she would naturally promote her to become a member of the Council of Elders.

For the believers of the evil god, this is the supreme honor and the status that countless residents of the abyss dream of. She also plans to guide Winter step by step to conclude a contract with the great Father in Heaven and obtain the blessing of eternal life.

Therefore, when Nightmare heard about the turmoil in the empire and the fall of old forces such as Pope Julius, he was extremely excited.

Her student grew up, completed his revenge, and proved his ability to Dream Eclipse and all the inhabitants of the abyss.

However, she never expected that she would encounter such a scene.

The emotions in my heart were as if I had witnessed the cabbages that I had worked so hard to grow being eaten by pigs!

Stay calm. You must stay calm at this time!

Nightmare hid in the shadows, staring with bloodshot eyes and forcing himself to observe this extremely dazzling scene.

She was an experienced person with hundreds of years of life experience. The most urgent task was to evaluate the development of the relationship between Lin Dong and this young man. She thought of the light kiss just now, and her brain worked rapidly. In less than ten seconds, she came to the conclusion - fortunately, they had just started a relationship.

This means holding hands and kissing is the limit.

There is still room for recovery!
The nightmare hid silently in the dark and did not break this "beautiful" scene. Although she tried her best to calm herself down, she almost broke her teeth when she saw the young man holding Lindong's waist and going downstairs.

That is her student, the student who wants to become the greatest witch in the abyss!

The footsteps of the two people faded away, and Nightmare came out of the mansion with a dark face. Her steps were unsteady when she went downstairs. This was too much of a blow to her.

"Why, was the conversation unpleasant?"

Palansi, who was wrapped in white bandages, glanced at the frustrated witch.

He understands this feeling.

The empire was changing too fast. He felt the same way after he was hit by a motorcycle that night.

But soon, Palansi discovered a new way to deal with the world - as long as he frankly acknowledged his identity as an old man, all problems would be solved.

Ethan and others respected him very much and customized an electric wheelchair for him. What he was most addicted to was the massage function. Although this was not his original body, the relaxation and comfort brought by the massage could touch his soul. If it were placed somewhere else, he would definitely say that it was the creation of an evil god, and anyone who sat on it would be corrupted under its influence.

That is the evil god whose power is sloth.

Nightmare is also an elderly person, and Palansi believes that once she experiences the beauty of an electric wheelchair, she will gladly accept the changes that have taken place in the empire.

As the cabinet always says, the empire is now developing in a stable and positive direction.

Nightmare said in a stiff tone, "I want to attend the palace dinner."

This was not a question but a statement; she was angry and if Palansi rejected her, she would use less peaceful means.

The cabbages she had worked so hard to grow were eaten by pigs, and now no one can stop her!
Palansi noticed that Nightmare clenched his fists and sighed helplessly, "I'll help you declare it."

This dinner was hosted by Queen Margaret. The three crown princes and senior cabinet officials would all be present. The banquet hall was filled with all kinds of people, and with Old Sen personally in attendance, even if the Nightmare Witch entered the venue, she wouldn't cause any trouble.

Nightmare glanced at Palansi with some surprise.

She didn't expect that the Knight of the Round Table was so easy to talk to. This was barely the only satisfactory thing about her trip to the imperial capital.

She was thinking about the next plan in her mind. The most urgent thing was to find a way to break the spell on Lin Dong and restore her most proud student to normal. By then, she wouldn't need to do anything. Lin Dong, who knew everything, would kill the daring young man with her own hands!
Thinking of this, she felt a little comforted.

To break the spell of bewitching, Rowena is the key. Not only is she Winter's closest partner and can easily approach the two of them, she was also a certified great magician of the Astrology Guild and knows a thing or two about this kind of spells.

And Rowena is also a member of the organization that she is optimistic about.

Although his talent and ability are not as good as Lin Dong's, he has almost no bad habits and always conscientiously completes every task assigned by the organization.

Nightmare's expression relaxed a lot.

Palansi mentioned earlier that Rowena would also be there today, and this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her.

As long as Rowena launches an attack, everything will be fine!
Not long after, Palansi came back and brought good news.

The royal family agreed to the Nightmare Witch's request. Although it was full of unusual atmosphere, she could no longer care about so much, not to mention the royal family of a corrupt empire. Henry VI died and the three crown princes were still young. As far as she knew, the empire was now ruled by Queen Margaret. The wisdom of these mortals was not even one-tenth of hers!

Even if things develop in the worst direction, a war is inevitable. Once she breaks the spell of bewitching Winter, and with the help of Rowena, they will have two saints and a battle-hardened great magician on the scene, and the mere Knight of the Round Table, Palansi, will not be able to stop them at all.

The advantage is hers.

The Nightmare Witch followed in the electric wheelchair. This was the first time in her long life that she attended a royal dinner. Guests arrived at the banquet hall one after another, all dressed up and with formulaic fake smiles on their faces.

Hypocritical politicians.

Hundreds of years later, the imperial nobles still continued their "masked ball".

Then, she, the Nightmare Witch, will tear it off with her own hands.

The inner declaration came to an abrupt end because Nightmare saw a familiar person in the crowd. She stood still, staring at the figure in the same electric wheelchair for a long time before confirming her identity.

Rowena had changed so much that she almost couldn't recognize her for a moment.

Why would Rowena, who is known for her thriftiness, wear an expensive evening gown and many pieces of jewelry that looked very valuable?

What made Nightmare even more upset was that when Rowena saw Winter and the young man, she walked towards them from afar. The three of them were talking and laughing, as if they had known each other for a long time.

Rowena!
Are you also affected, Rowena?

Nightmare's hands trembled slightly and she rubbed her eyes. She hoped so much that this was all an illusion, but the scene in her sight did not change at all. The three of them entered the banquet hall happily and disappeared in the warm light and shadow, as if she was the superfluous one.

Bloody Banquet.

The Nightmare Witch's eyes were bloodshot, and this term suddenly popped up in her mind.

This happened during the reign of Henry III. At that time, the empire was in the midst of a foreign war. Pope Turzain, at the behest of the royal family, launched a series of religious reforms, which infringed upon the interests of many old nobles. Some nobles had their own troops and refused to obey the royal orders. So one night, Henry III summoned the leaders of these families under the guise of "easing internal conflicts."

The old nobles were overjoyed, thinking that the royal family could not bear the consumption of the war and would have to compromise with them, but they did not expect that what awaited them was a massacre.

The Church of Life and the Knights Templar of Netheril united and killed the old nobles at the banquet on charges of treason.

That night filled with the smell of blood was called the Bloody Banquet by people at that time.

Different time, same place.

If even Rowena is bewitched by the spell, she will have to rely on herself.

Nightmare laughed in anger, that was the witch's iconic fanaticism. This dinner was destined to be stained red with blood - this was the price of attacking Dream Eclipse!
She adjusted herself and walked into the banquet hall with her head held high under the curious gaze of some politicians.

She is the Nightmare Witch, the symbol of fear of an era!
Nightmare immediately saw the young man and Winter in the corner. Even though she was under the spell of bewitching, Winter's dislike for socializing did not seem to change much. She was holding a goblet with clear red wine in it. She looked a little tipsy, and the look in her eyes when she looked at the young man seemed to be about to drip with water.

Alarm bells immediately sounded in Nightmare's heart.

She didn't know if this was a coincidence, or maybe it was fate... No, it must be the great, omnipotent God who blessed her to witness this scene!
Based on her experience, after this palace dinner, the young man would take advantage of the cold winter and get drunk to take her back to his residence, thus taking the last step.

Fortunately I made it in time!
Nightmare's eyes were cold. Based on her understanding of the imperial nobles, there was most likely a magic potion in the wine. Otherwise, even if Winter did not have the habit of drinking, she was a genuine saint with magic power to protect her. How could she get drunk after just a few sips of wine?

Love potion?
Or is there another potion with the same function?

Nightmare mentally evaluated everything he had seen and roughly deduced the young man's identity.

A great magician who also has great attainments in alchemy.

No wonder he dared to attack the Winter Witch. This courage alone is worthy of praise, but that's all.

Nightmare walked to the square table covered with a white tablecloth, picked up the goblet and filled her own glass. This time she no longer concealed her magic power and walked straight towards the two of them. She was very curious about how this daring madman would react after seeing her.
The shadow under their feet spread towards the two people in the corner like a tide, and the light under their feet became an isolated island.

The young man noticed the changes under his feet, but his attention was immediately diverted by Lin Dong. After realizing that the young man was a little absent-minded, Lin Dong raised his hand, pressed his chin, straightened his gaze, and made him look directly at himself.

"Do you feel it's getting hotter here?"

This time, Nightmare heard the conversation between the two clearly. The sickly sweet voice gave her goose bumps. She found it hard to believe that it was the sound made by her student. For a moment, she wanted to turn around and leave, unwilling to face this bleak reality.

Whatever spell or potion the young man used, the effect was far beyond Nightmare's cognition.

There is no spell in the world that can turn a saint into this state!

"It's okay. The banquet hasn't started yet, so you should drink less." The young man's voice followed.

Humph, so hypocritical!

Although he said this, in his heart he really wanted Lindong to drink up the entire cup of wine with the magic potion, right?
Nightmare, who witnessed this scene, sneered in her heart. She had seen too many people like this. In the empire, anyone who had a status liked to maintain their false face, but secretly they were much more despicable than anyone else. Sometimes even the true believers of the evil god felt inferior to them.

Obviously, the young man was such a person. He was probably already thinking about where to take Lin Dong at night after getting her drunk.

Nightmare didn't want to let the conversation continue any longer. She walked towards the young man with full force along the path woven by shadows. She tried her best to maintain the witch's iconic smile, just like the embodiment of fear in the history of the empire.

The Nightmare Witch, the embodiment of fear that extinguished the sun, once plunged people into an "eternal" sleep.

The light beneath their feet became increasingly dim, and it seemed like it would be extinguished at any moment.

As the footsteps got closer, Winter, her favorite student, finally turned his gaze towards her.

The moment their eyes met, Nightmare gave Winter a reassuring look.

Don't panic, the teacher will definitely rescue you from the hands of the imperial nobles!

However, unlike Nightmare's fiery eyes, Winter's eyes were full of doubts, and even a subtle coldness. Her gaze scanned the visitor several times like a radar. Well, although she looked good, her makeup was too gaudy. It was obviously a royal court banquet, but she was still wearing black clothes, which was impolite.

This is definitely not Ethan's type, you can rest assured.

After completing the assessment, Winter asked, "Is this your friend?"

She had already noticed the interlacing shadows beneath her feet.

This woman has strong magic power.

But for some reason, when she asked the question, the woman's expression suddenly froze, and she looked incredulous. Her mysterious and confident laughter turned into shattered glass, and when Ethan also shook his head in confusion, the woman's smile completely shattered.

Her whole body seemed to have lost its luster and turned into black and white.

Lin Dong didn't like anyone disturbing the time she spent with Ethan, so she dressed carefully for the party, and even with the help of the maid, she was busy for the entire afternoon.

What Ethan didn't know was that there was something hidden beneath this somewhat heavy skirt.

Inside were Ethan's favorite white tights.

Seeing the woman standing there, Lin Dong asked impatiently, "Who are you?"

!!!

Nightmare never dreamed that she would hear such cold and cruel words from Winter's mouth. Just two words shattered all her plans.

At this moment, she finally understood.

Now I understand what kind of hell this imperial capital is.

Large-scale human trafficking, plus a brainwashing organization!
A dark, decadent den of whoredom with nothing to recommend it!

Now, as a believer of the evil god, she wants to end the darkness here!
Even though Nightmare herself felt that there seemed to be something strange about this, she could no longer care about that. Winter's question was like a sharp knife piercing her heart, and the damage was far greater than any enemy she had encountered so far.

She decided that she would dedicate the young man's despicable soul to the great Heavenly Father, but before that, she had to expose the young man's despicable behavior in front of her students.

And the young man actually took the initiative to give her a friendly smile.

"Hello, I'm Ethan. What can I do for you?"

"Ethan?"

Nightmare was trembling all over, "You approached Winter in the same way then, right?"

That was her student. He must be not good at dealing with people and not good at saying no. He was deceived by Ethan and drugged. Compared with the nobles of the empire, her student was too innocent.

Well, let her teach her students a lesson, "Don't look at me like that, you know exactly what you did... Did you put something in these two glasses of wine?"

?

The young man's confused and bewildered reaction was in line with Nightmare's expectations. She had to admit that Ethan's acting was very good, and he didn't even show a second of pause to be discovered. But this also meant that this was not the first time he had done this. Before her innocent student was deceived, he might have done this to hundreds of girls.

He had long imagined the moment when his lie would be exposed and had rehearsed it countless times in private so that when this moment came he could respond with the most perfect and deceptive expression.

"Stop playing dumb."

Nightmare took out a piece of white cardboard. Anyone who knew alchemy knew the function of this cardboard. In front of the two of them, she put the cardboard into Ethan and Winter's wine glasses. The moment it touched the liquid, the cardboard burst into a dim light.

A smile finally appeared on Nightmare's face.

This is the smile of a winner. Even though she doesn't know what kind of magic potion Ethan has given to Winter, his tricks cannot escape the most basic logic of alchemy.

Facts speak louder than words, and she was looking forward to seeing how Ethan would perform when faced with such ironclad evidence.

Nightmare said nothing, waiting for Ethan's performance.

"I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

The unexpected happened again.

The smile on Winter's face was gone, as was the previous drunken blush on his face, and his cold eyes seemed to freeze the nightmare.

Then, she took the initiative to turn to Ethan, her voice softened again, mixed with a little guilt, "This is a potion to strengthen your body. You have been staying up late recently because of the Mage Tower. You only slept for less than two hours in the afternoon."

Although she had always been with Ethan, she had caught up on a lot of sleep by lying on his shoulder intermittently, and she had been able to maintain her full sleep time every day.

Winter is very concerned about Ethan's health - even an iron man would not be able to bear staying up all night for several days in a row.

As for why I have to stay up late today...

As she just said, she advises you to mind your own business.

She once knew a nosy person who was pierced by an icicle and turned into a hedgehog, dying a miserable death.

The amount of information in Winter's words was so staggering that Nightmare took nearly a minute to savor it before finally coming to his senses.

"Huh!?"

This was her best response.

The potion was actually created by the cold winter?

Nightmare heard a strange "dulululu" sound. Ethan took out a shell that was not even as big as a palm in front of him and put it to his ear.

Palansi's voice was faintly heard from inside.

Her mind was a little confused. When Ethan put down the strange shell, he directly said her name, "Ms. Nightmare, nice to meet you. Please follow me."

Ethan put down her wine glass and walked towards the terrace outside the banquet hall. Winter gave her a meaningful look and followed her.

The Nightmare Witch was still a little confused, and the questions circling in her mind left her puzzled.

How could such an innocent and kind student like her give potions to others?

But if you think about it carefully, Winter is indeed very good at alchemy.

The temperature on the terrace dropped suddenly. She couldn't tell for a moment whether it was due to the weather or Winter was releasing its cool air. When she went out, she heard Winter introducing information about herself to Ethan.

"She is a member of the Council of Elders. She has been in contact with us before. Members of the organization usually wear masks, so I didn't recognize her just now."

Lin Dong's tone was very flat, and it sounded like he was just introducing a colleague he had only met a few times and was not very familiar with.

Ethan nodded. When he reunited with Winter in Hearth Bay, she was also wearing a strange vortex mask, revealing only one red eye.

"Ms. Nightmare, please explain your purpose."

After all, Dream Eclipse is an organization of evil god believers recognized by the empire. Their members have been offered high bounties in various major countries. Their headquarters is located in the Abyss, which is a kingdom jointly established by evil god believers.

Palansi explained the situation of the Abyss to him on the phone. He tactfully pointed out that not all believers of the evil god were stigmatized like Miss Winter and Rowena. There were many residents in the abyss who truly believed in the evil god and were engaged in evil god worship activities.

"I……"

Nightmare looked at Winter and lacked confidence, "I am here to take Winter and Rowena back to the Abyss."

Hearing this, Lin Dong's eyes became even fiercer.

At this moment, the cold, murderous student that was familiar from the nightmare returned.

I'll stab you to death, stab you to death, stab you to death!

Winter seemed to be conveying this message to her with her eyes.
