American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 410 A Love Stronger Than Gold: A Seven-Day Lock

Roy looked at Lilith and sensed that she wasn't just teasing Dorothy, but actually had some ideas.

"Lilith, just tell me what your idea is."

"Hmm! Dorothy told me a lot about that guy before, and I found that he seems to have really good luck, always managing to escape danger at crucial moments. I think luck is a very key factor in defeating that guy!"

Lilith's summary makes a lot of sense. Roy felt that the Underworld Archmage also seemed to possess something similar to a protagonist's halo.

This is something that many nonsensical comedic characters possess; their protagonist aura doesn't make them invincible, but it always changes the situation at crucial moments.

"Lilith, so what you mean is?"

“I happen to know an ancient magic that can split the luck between two people.”

Upon hearing this, Dorothy had already guessed Lilith's plan.

"You want me to be tied to that ugly freak? No way! Absolutely not! I'd rather jump off the top of the Alps than do that!"

To Roy's surprise, Dorothy's reaction was so intense that it took him quite a bit for granted.

"What kind of magic is it? Why is Dorothy reacting so strongly?"

Lilith shrugged and gave an answer.

"Long ago, there was a witch known as the Love Witch. She loved a man very much and wanted to be with him, but she was also afraid that he would leave her. So, she invented a magic called the Soul Chain, which could bind two people together, share their lives and fates, and even know what the other was thinking."

What's interesting about this magic is that all men and women who use it end up becoming enemies, including the love witch who invented it.

It sounds a bit like a seven-day lock symbolizing unwavering love.

However, Roy understood then that Dorothy now hated the Archmage of the Underworld to the core and naturally did not want to use such ambiguous magic.

"Lilith, can this spell be dispelled?"

"When the Love Witch developed this spell, she didn't consider breaking it, because she believed that two people in love shouldn't be separated. However, because the Soul Chain spell caused too many tragedies, someone figured out a way to break it."

Upon hearing this, Roy looked at Dorothy.

"Since the magic can be dispelled, what do you have to be afraid of?"

Dorothy gritted her teeth and remained silent; to be bound to the Grand Wizard of the Underworld was a tremendous insult to her.

To avoid carrying out the plan, Dorothy even gave Roy a pitiful look.

"Mr. Black, can we try another approach?"

Honestly, it's quite captivating to see such a mature woman like Dorothy making that expression.

Roy felt he was losing control after seeing this, so he looked at Lilith.

"Lilith, is there any other way?"

Lilith spread her hands, looking somewhat helpless.

"This is the only solution I can think of for now. Perhaps asking Lady Elizabeth might yield a different answer?"

Roy didn't really want to rely on Elizabeth's power, and Elizabeth seemed quite busy lately, always using the illusion to teach classes.

The average person wouldn't be able to tell, but Roy could.

When asked what happened, Elareza wouldn't say anything. It felt like my sweet little darling was starting to leak.

"Forget it! I'll set up the wedding venue in Acton, it should only take three days. Ms. Dorothy, you can think about it carefully during this time, or think of another way. Remember, we only have one chance, if we fail, we might never catch that guy again!"

Dorothy's expression turned serious. She knew this opportunity might be very precious, but psychological barriers were difficult to overcome.

After a long pause, Dorothy sighed.

"I understand, I'll think about it carefully."

After finishing their business, Roy was about to leave, but Lilith stopped him.

"Little master, are you leaving already?"

Lilith's moist eyes and her distinctive title clearly hinted at something; she was known as the Witch of Desire, a woman with considerable needs in certain areas.

Lilith hadn't seen Roy for almost a month while searching for Dorothy, so seeing him with some free time naturally made her unable to resist.

Roy looked at Lilith, then at Dorothy, and his expression turned strange.

"Isn't this a bit much? The villa is such a mess, and Ms. Dorothy is here too."

Lilith grabbed Roy's arm and started shaking him.

"It's alright! Actually, the second floor of the villa is very clean because Dorothy hasn't been up there. And Dorothy probably won't mind, right, Dorothy?"

Dorothy rolled her eyes. She really wanted to say she minded, but after seeing the threatening look in Lilith's eyes, she could only accept it.

"Yes, yes, I don't mind!"

Upon hearing this, Lilith immediately pushed Roy upstairs.

"See! I told you Dorothy wouldn't mind! Come upstairs!"

In response, Dorothy could only lie down on the sofa with a frustrated expression, and then the sofa spring punctured the surface and pressed against her.

Dorothy was so angry that she wanted to destroy the sofa with magic, but given her current luck, casting the spell would most likely only result in failure and backfire on her.

At that moment, Lilith's soaring singing voice came from the second floor.

Dorothy gritted her teeth and looked up at the ceiling.

"That damn bastard! He didn't even close the door before he started doing it!"

The soundproofing of such a high-end villa couldn't possibly be that bad. The only explanation is that Lilith and Roy entered the room and started fighting without even closing the door.

Lilith was clearly doing it on purpose, and Dorothy was so angry she wanted to grab something and throw it upstairs at the two of them.

But Dorothy's luck is really bad right now, and she can only sit on the sofa and sulk, her resentment is visible to the naked eye.

"That bastard Lilith, she must have done it on purpose!"

Roy on the second floor could also sense that Lilith seemed particularly excited. Previously, Lilith only showed this state when her ex-husband, Gosamael, was mentioned.

"Lilith, do you have a grudge against Dorothy?"

It doesn't look like it, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered to release Dorothy from her sealed state.

Without Lilith, Dorothy would have remained sealed away for who knows how much longer.

Lilith answered, panting heavily.

"No! Dorothy and I are good friends, we get along very well!"

Roy couldn't see why the two of them got along; on both occasions they met, they saw each other bickering and teasing each other.

Or rather, this is how the two of them get along.

"Then what do you want?"

Lilith rolled her eyes, clearly having suffered a critical blow.

"I... I want Dorothy to join us. Don't you like her?"

That's a ball of flair! What man wouldn't love it?
Lilith could clearly sense Roy's change and couldn't help but gasp. She immediately understood Roy's attitude and whispered in his ear.

"Young master, I can help you get her!"

Roy instantly went berserk!
So Dorothy downstairs heard an even more powerful and beautiful singing voice, which almost made her grind her teeth to dust.

"You bastard! Lilith, you just wait! Just you wait and see if I'll steal your man away!"

Dorothy was so angry she felt like she was about to explode; her bra size increased several sizes.

After enduring two full hours of battlefield sound effects, the commotion upstairs finally subsided. Roy walked downstairs looking radiant and greeted Dorothy, but the Witch of Death ignored him.

Roy could only leave awkwardly.

A dozen minutes later, Lilith, dressed in a sexy nightgown, walked downstairs in a very languid manner.

The witch of desire had a flushed face, clearly indicating that she had just finished a satisfying battle.

Dorothy's teeth were chattering, clearly indicating that she was very angry.

At this very moment, Lilith started speaking in a sarcastic and teasing tone to further provoke Dorothy.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry! I think I was too loud just now. I don't know if I disturbed you?"

Upon hearing this, Dorothy couldn't hold back any longer and jumped up from the sofa to pounce on Lilith.

"Lilith, I'll fight you to the death!"

Unfortunately, Lilith easily dodged this obvious attack by simply turning slightly to the side, causing Dorothy to fall to the ground in a sorry state, narrowly avoiding a fatal fall.

Fortunately, Lilith stopped Dorothy at the last moment.

"Alright, Dorothy, I've already asked Roy for you, and he's very interested in you. You can relax now, right?"

Dorothy kept a straight face, but her eyes revealed a special meaning.

"Hmph! Who asked you to ask for me!"

Lilith helped Dorothy up, then her expression turned serious.

"Dorothy, I'm not kidding anymore. Now I'm asking you, would you like to join us?"

Dorothy sensed a deeper meaning in Lilith's words; this "joining" definitely meant more than just joining Roy's family.

"What do you mean?"

"Dorothy, you may not know this, but during the time you were sealed away, the cosmic order underwent tremendous changes. God disappeared, Heaven began to distance itself from the human world, and the demon kings of Hell each harbored their own ambitions. You surely understand what these things mean, don't you?"

Dorothy's expression changed. As a witch who had lived from ancient times to the present, she naturally knew what this meant.

Is the end of the world coming?

Lilith nodded.

"Yes, and the time is not far off! Roy has already faced the War Knight and the Death Knight!"

Dorothy gasped.

The Witch of Death couldn't possibly be unaware of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Although her title contains the word "death," comparing her to the Death Horsemen...

Let's not compete anymore.

"Roy Black survived facing both the War Knight and the Death Knight?"

Lilith nodded proudly, as if she were the one who had defeated the two Apocalypse Knights.

"Yes, Roy defeated the War Knight and narrowly escaped the Death Knight!"

Dorothy fell silent; this achievement was beyond her wildest imagination.

"So that's why you're betting on him?"

"No, no, no! I placed my bet even before Roy defeated the two Apocalypse Knights. By then, he had already defeated the Demon King of Hell several times. The reason I bet on him is because he is a very sentimental person and wouldn't abandon the people around him. You should know what that means."

Lilith and Dorothy have lived from ancient times to the present day, and have experienced countless betrayals.

Lilith was betrayed by her own daughter, and Dorothy experienced something similar.

The friendship between the two witches only became as solid as it is now after countless collaborations.

Therefore, after obtaining the body, Lilith immediately went to Dorothy, wanting to recruit her into her group.

"Actually, besides me, there's another big shot who's also placed his bet on Roy. Do you want to know who it is?"

Dorothy paused for a moment, then nodded.

"Dorothy, if you knew this, you wouldn't be able to back out! You'd better think it through!"

Lilith looked at Dorothy with a smile.

Dorothy frowned and began to think. She actually trusted Lilith, but this matter concerned her future path, so she had to consider it carefully.

After a while, Dorothy tentatively asked Lilith a question.

"Can't you give me a hint? Like, is that important person above or below?"

Dorothy gestured up and down, which actually referred to heaven and hell.

Lilith pointed to the ground with her finger, the meaning of which was very clear.

This made Dorothy hesitate.

"Hell? Lilith, is Hell even believable?"

"Don't worry, the key figure is still Roy; that important person is just a facilitator. She wants to get out of the current situation, which is why she's betting on Roy."

Lilith used the word "She," which actually made it quite obvious.

After all, there are only two women in Hell who can be called great figures: the King of Lust and the King of Sloth.

Dorothy lowered her head and pondered for a long time before finally choosing to believe Lilith.

"Phew! Lilith, I've decided to trust you this once. I hope you won't lead me astray."

Lilith rolled her eyes.

"What are you talking about? When have I ever cheated you?"

"Do you want me to list them all out? For example, the first year after the Wrathful King was banished to Hell..."

Dorothy started counting on her fingers and began to settle scores with Lilith, but Lilith quickly stopped her.

"Stop! Don't say anymore! I'm about to summon that important figure, so be more polite!"

As she spoke, Dorothy placed her hand on her lower abdomen.

Just as Dorothy was about to ask how a big shot from Hell could be on Earth, a ring of fire appeared beside her.

A beautiful, tall woman walked out of the ring of fire.

The woman glanced at the surroundings, looking slightly puzzled, but then a satisfied expression appeared on her face when she saw Dorothy.

"Well done, Lilith."

"Everything is as you commanded, Lord Belial!"

Belial, the king of sloth!

Although Dorothy already had a guess in her mind, she was still a little scared when she actually saw Belial.

After all, a person's shadow is like a tree's name!
When Belial was already a hellish place, Dorothy was just a little Karami.

"Dorothy, Lilith has already explained the situation to you, hasn't she?"

Upon hearing this, Dorothy knelt on the ground.

"Yes, Lord Belial."

"Good, you made the right choice."

Still a ball flower
