The weekend arrived in the blink of an eye.
Li En tightly closed the door, had Nina Owen stand guard outside, and together with Dolores, holding the invitation stone, he entered the Witch High Tower meeting.
Li En was slightly anticipating the third Witch Meeting.
He really wanted to know if Fia could pass through the invitation stone, cross the magic barrier set up by the Council of Sages, and appear at the meeting.
Li En stroked the invitation stone, and with a thought, his projection appeared beside the round table.
Dolores was sitting on his right. He and Dolores were sitting together, having a bit of a gaming buddy relationship. They could see each other's faces clearly but couldn't see the faces of others.
Alexandra didn't manage to snag a seat this time; she was taken sea fishing by her grandfather, Earl Hall.
At the Glacier Base, sea fishing was a traditional activity for middle-aged and elderly people.
Alexandra wasn't like humans; she could directly eat sea fish and shrimp, even sea monsters.
Archduke Moria, Earl Hall, and Duke McCoy were all willing to take her fishing.
Ellie, Cameron, and Sophie were the first to appear. After Li En and Dolores entered the state, they saw the phantoms belonging to them.
This was because they were already in the high tower.
Afterward, the shadows belonging to the Disease Witch Dora and the new Guardian Witch of Green Shade Territory, Ash, also appeared.
Fia's seat was still empty.
This couldn't help but make Li En a little worried.
Dolores waited for a while and looked at Li En, "Shall we begin? Chairman."
The witches' phantoms also looked in Li En's direction, waiting for him to announce the start of the third witch meeting.
Perhaps the invitation stone couldn't break through the magic barrier set by the Sages, and Fia couldn't get in touch with the outside world.
Li En was a little disappointed. Just as he was about to announce the start of the meeting, he saw a golden light and shadow emerge.
The phantom belonging to Fia appeared.
She habitually pushed her glasses, assuring Li En that it was indeed Fia.
"The meeting begins."
Li En breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Fia was okay.
"Good morning, everyone."
Dolores said with a smile, "I am Fairy Tale."
Stating one's code name before the meeting was to prevent someone from obtaining the invitation stone in the future, impersonating a witch to participate in the meeting, and stealing intelligence.
Therefore, the greeting and salutation part was essential.
"I am Hell."
Ellie said reluctantly.
"I am Puppet, good morning everyone."
Cameron was still full of energy.
"I am Barrier."
Ash's voice was childish and clear, revealing the agility of a child.
"Disease Witch, may everyone stay away from plague and misfortune."
Dora said.
"Ice and Snow."
Sophie's clear and cold voice was like the breeze of September.
Finally, everyone looked at Fia.
Fia had entered the Council of Sages and hadn't been in contact with everyone for a while. Ellie, Cameron, and Sophie were very worried about her.
It wasn't until Fia said, "I am Wisdom," that they were completely relieved.
"Wisdom, it's really great that you're okay."
Cameron said with a sob, "We thought you were being dissected. It's so good to see you're still alive."
Fia pushed her glasses again, and said in a calm tone, "The value of live research is far greater than that of a corpse. Everyone has misunderstood the Sages. I'm doing well in the Council of Sages, so you don't need to worry about me."
"Fia, tell us about your recent situation. Everyone is very concerned,"
Li En said.
"I am now participating in the witch experiment, as a volunteer, and also as a half-researcher. Through the Sage's potion and magic array cooperation, plus the mermaid crystal, my complete transformation can be achieved, but this takes time.
Most of the experimental subjects are infants. The biggest difference between me and infants is that I am already an adult. Unlike infants, whose development in all aspects is not perfect enough, they are easier to be transformed,"
Fia said slowly.
"In other words, the Sages are really conducting witch experiments?"
Dolores asked, although this was already expected.
"Yes, and after I am completely transformed, the Sages will also send me to see the Enlightener, to have the Enlightener stabilize me at the spiritual level. I guess it's brainwashing,"
Fia said.
"Witch experiments, what exactly does this mean?"
Dora asked curiously.
The High Tower meeting was an internal meeting, so knowledge and information could be shared, as for magic cards, they were the content of transactions.
Faced with Dora's question, Fia patiently explained, "Everyone here is likely the product of experiments. When you were infants, you were selected and drank the 'Witch Potion' researched by the Sages. The main ingredient of the Witch Potion is mermaid crystal, and it also contains many magic medicines. After drinking it, 1% of the infants can survive and become witches, and 99% of the infants will die and be eliminated.
"The Sages choose infants with a prerequisite, they must have a fairly high magic medicine affinity to be selected, so of the infants born in the empire every year, you only have a one in ten thousand chance of being selected. In other words, you are witches selected by two rounds of selection. It can also be regarded as the chosen daughters of heaven in a certain sense."
Fia's words almost subverted the witches' cognition.
They had been instilled from childhood that they were the chosen witches, the guardians chosen by the God of Tiger.
But now, they got a completely different answer.
They were not chosen by God, but chosen by humans, and they were not born guardians, but experimental subjects.
Except for Dolores and Li En, who had already guessed the artificial witch plan, everyone else knew nothing about it.
So they were particularly shocked.
"This, how is this possible?"
Cameron looked at Fia's phantom in disbelief,
"I-I remember I was born in-born in Pat Village. Besides my parents, I also have six younger siblings. I am the only child who was detected to have witch talent. My parents sold me to the church. Originally, I would become a church witch, but the church took a fancy to the healing talent of another witch and exchanged me with the Guardian Bureau. I entered the Guardian Bureau and lived with Director Ophelia. How could I be an experimental product?
And Ellie, she is not from the Holy Empire, her hometown is called Yuristan. Because Yuristan has been in constant war for many years, their family had to start fleeing. Later, her parents died on the border,
She was brought back by the imperial soldiers.
And…"
Cameron kept listing the companions around her, each with incredibly real memories.
"If we are experimental products, are these memories fake?"
While Cameron was questioning, Ellie was a little absent-minded.
In fact, after she became an [Awakened], this childhood memory became more and more blurred, more and more blurred, she even suspected that this was just a dream she had.
"When you were infants, you did come from different families, but the Sages didn't have the energy to count your original family backgrounds, so the memories you had before entering the Guardian Bureau were fabricated in order to better shape your character of being good at dedication and sacrifice. Most of the witches have a background of being abandoned orphans,"
Fia said the incredibly cruel reality.
"As for the witch talent you mentioned, there is no such talent at all, only magic medicine affinity. Children with high magic medicine affinity are more likely to accept the transformation of magic medicine,"
Fia said, coughing a few times. Her symptoms of vomiting blood didn't seem to be completely suppressed.
The always proud Dora was also somewhat unable to accept after learning that she was an experimental subject.
"According to you, are all of us experimental subjects?"
"No, the legendary witch is not an experimental subject, she is born, that's why she is different from you," Fia said.
"Chairman, is that so?"
Ellie looked at Li En with dull eyes. She had experienced a reshaping of her worldview once, and now it was undoubtedly the second time.
Li En nodded slightly,
"I believe Wisdom. She won't lie about this kind of thing. And mermaid crystal is indeed the key to transforming humans into witches. It is because humans ate mermaid crystal and became witches that they are rejected by the sea,
So when witches come into contact with seawater, their magic power will be lost."
Dolores frowned in confusion when she heard Li En's explanation.
Because she also had the situation of losing magic power when she came into contact with seawater, was she also an artificial witch?
"What's wrong?"
Li En asked when he noticed the solemn expression on Dolores' face.
"I-I also lose magic power when I come into contact with seawater."
"Heh, so this conclusion is simply untenable,"
Dora sneered.
She really didn't want to believe that she had been living in a huge deception.
Sophie, Ellie, and Cameron were also very confused,
"Fairy Tale, you used to modify your body and turn yourself into a magic container, right?"
Fia asked.
"Yes."
"Then did you use mermaid-related materials?"
Fia continued to ask.
Dolores remembered that an important part of the ritual was the Tears of the Mermaid.
So she was rejected by the sea because of the Tears of the Mermaid.
"I used the Tears of the Mermaid."
"That's right. The Tears of the Mermaid are the last drop of despair left by the mermaid before death, even more precious than the mermaid crystal, and will also bring similar negative effects to the user as the mermaid crystal, making the sea reject it,"
Fia explained.
Cameron, Ellie, and Sophie's moods all plummeted.
"If you still don't believe it, you can ask the time witch who defected. She should have also discovered the truth after traveling through time, so she ran away,"
Fia thought for a while and said again, "You can also ask Ophelia, of course, she probably won't tell you the truth, and may even use the ability of the [Summoner] to make you forget the relevant memories and restore you to the previous muddle-headed state. This is an interesting experiment, you can send someone to try it."
"You're talking nonsense, Director Ophelia wouldn't treat us like this,"
Cameron said stubbornly.
And Ellie and Sophie were touched when they heard the word [Summoner].
Because Ophelia had ordered them to capture Li En, thus triggering the [Enlightener] entry hidden in their bodies. The [Enlightener] entry mentioned the [Summoner], although the [Enlightener] entry appeared for a very short time, both witches had a high degree of inspiration, and they clearly remembered the meaning of this entry.
This also indirectly confirmed Fia's statement.
The witches were experimental products that had been enlightened. Enlightenment was brainwashing.
Ophelia was a [Summoner] who could order the brainwashed witches.
"What is a Summoner?"
Dora looked at Li En.
Li En explained, "There is a Grace, called [Ear of Ignorance], which can create both [Summoners] and [Enlighteners]. [Enlighteners] will unconditionally obey the orders of [Summoners]."
"So it's a Grace?"
Fia had many unresolved doubts, such as what the Sage Group used to brainwash the witches and turn them into Enlighteners, and now she finally got the answer.
Grace.
Only Grace could do this, change the witches' existing cognition, implant ideological imprints, and turn them into eternally loyal puppet machines.
"So are we all [Enlighteners]? Then why don't I feel like I have this entry?
?"
Dora asked again.
This was very important to her.
"You must have the [Enlightener] entry appear when the [Summoner] forcibly orders you,
Sophie and Ellie should have a feeling about this."
Li En looked at Sophie and Ellie.
The two witches nodded slightly.
"Yes, when the director ordered me to attack the chairman, I suddenly had the [Enlightener] entry," Ellie recalled.
"Then-then-what do we do?"
Ash asked worriedly,
"Will we also be ordered to deal with the chairman together?"
"Barrier, you don't need to worry. Unless the witch performing the guardian task has the intention of betraying, the [Enlightener] entry will be activated, otherwise it will not be activated in a lifetime,"
Li En said to the youngest witch, Ash.
Ash breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that she was not in the royal capital.
"And there is hope that the [Enlightener] entry can be eliminated by itself. As long as the spirit is strong enough, you can become an [Awakened]."
Li En then asked Sophie and Ellie to share their awakening experiences so that other witches in the high tower could find a reference when they needed to face the same problem.
The one most likely to encounter this problem was probably Cameron.
Because she was closest to Ophelia, here it meant the closest relationship.
"I must not hurt Li En."
Sophie's experience was simple and unadorned, but it lacked reference significance for others.
Seeing Senior Sophie's concise summary, Ellie was slightly nervous.
Although she was usually a silent character, she broke through herself at this moment. "After obtaining the [Enlightener] entry, the director's order has been echoing in my ears. This order is like a magic sound. If I don't execute it, it will torture my nerves.
"I wanted to overcome this order, so I constantly depicted the totem I believed in in my mind, strengthened my faith, over and over again, and finally resisted that terrible desire to obey.
"When I resisted the desire to obey, I obtained the [Awakened] entry."
Fia revealed the news of the witch experiment this time in order to obtain this valuable information.
Because she would also experience brainwashing once after being transformed.
"Faith? Is it the totem of the Tiger God?"
Dora asked.
Ellie shook her head, "It's the Guild Master, my faith is in the Guild Master."
The witches looked at Ellie in surprise.
Although the witches present had basically been rescued by Li En.
But they did not change their beliefs, still believing in the great Tiger God.
But Ellie's faith was actually in Li En!
"You believe in the Guild Master? Then what is the Guild Master's totem?"
Fia couldn't help but be curious.
It was the first time she knew that humans worshiping humans could really play a certain protective role.
Ellie was a little embarrassed by everyone's gaze, and said with a red face,
"The Guild Master's totem - is actually the Guild Master's face."
Because the Guild Master is a concrete image in Ellie's heart, not an abstract god, so what she thought of was Li En's complete image.
Dorothy raised her eyebrows slightly, and discovered another powerful competitor in the witch meeting.
This Ellie's fascination with Li En has reached the point of faith, so she has to be guarded against.
Sophie thinks that Ellie's thoughts are actually the same as her own, and Li En cannot be harmed.
"Wait, is this definitely a witch meeting, not someone's back garden?"
Dora questioned.
Li En was a little embarrassed. Ellie's words sounded a bit like a confession, but he knew that the simple Ellie didn't have that intention.
If she says it's faith, then it's definitely faith.
"Of course not."
Dorothy was the first to object.
She is determined to promote the Lexicon Mutual Aid Association. If this becomes Li En's back garden, she will definitely not be able to bear it.
Isn't that constantly adding love rivals to herself?
Li En was very pleased to hear his fiancée prove himself.
Yes, how could he be such an unscrupulous boss? Does he have to sleep with all his female subordinates?
Impossible, at least he can't do anything to Nina Owen.
"Oh."
Dora responded lightly, not very convinced by the fairy tale witch's words.
First of all, Dorothy and Li En's relationship is that of a fiancé and fiancée, and Sophie is Li En's white moonlight.
The Hell Witch regards Li En as her faith, and she occasionally thinks about becoming Li En's mistress.
The puppet witch looks silly and easy to be deceived.
It is not difficult to judge from the image that the barrier witch is too young, and Li En would not do anything to her.
There are not many people with a pure relationship with Li En, not even half of them.
Dora feels that if this association continues to develop, it has a lot of potential in this regard.
Dorothy really wanted to add a rule that members of the association should not fall in love, but this obviously restricted her relationship with Li En. If it was a member of the association, except for the president and vice president, they could not fall in love, which would be too straightforward.
Dorothy was also troubled by this.
"If it is faith, can I awaken if I firmly believe in the Tiger God?"
Fia muttered to herself, she wanted to try, she is a witch who likes to try various things.
"Why is it that using materials related to mermaids will be rejected by the sea?"
Dorothy changed the subject, deciding not to dwell on Li En's back garden.
"This requires mentioning the history of the last era. Our history is fragmented. There are only more than 500 years of history since the establishment of the Holy Empire. The history before that is not recorded in books, but I found them in the Wisdom Institute."
Fia believes that this is the biggest gain from joining the Wisdom Institute, obtaining the previous history.
"What history?"
Dorothy's eyes lit up.
"Before the Holy Era, the world history was called the Order Era. At that time, there was already a brilliant civilization. Sea monsters and blood races were active in that civilization. They had brilliant dynasties. Sea monsters have always ruled the sea, but the blood race is not willing to only occupy the land, and is advancing towards the sea. The blood race sages were the first pioneers to experiment with sea monsters. It is because of their actions that angered the Sea Monster King. In order to protect the sea monsters, the Sea Monster King transformed himself into the power of rules and integrated into the sea. All magical rituals that use sea monsters as materials, and people who have devoured sea monster bodies will be cursed by the sea.
"The blood race and the sea monsters have fought countless battles, basically all at sea, and finally turned the sea into a forbidden sea full of pollution.
"The reason why marine life cannot be eaten is because eating their meat will be cursed by the sea."
The history told by Fia successfully aroused everyone's curiosity.
"Then how did their civilization perish? Why did the Order Era end? How did humans become the rulers of the land?"
Dorothy is like an eager student, full of thirst for knowledge.
Fia is like a patient teacher,
"It was the Tiger God who descended the divine disaster and destroyed the Lilith Dynasty and the Poseidon Dynasty. The blood race and the sea monsters were almost completely wiped out, so that humans gained the rule of the land. The surviving sea monsters hid in the deep sea, and the blood race disappeared."
Cameron, who had not yet recovered from the secrets of the witch experiment, once again felt the shock. The shock of the brilliant civilization and era being destroyed by God.
This made the witches think, will the era they are in also be destroyed by the disaster of God one day?
"At present, I only know the history of the previous era, and it is not complete. I will continue to explore and share it with you then."
Fia pushed her glasses, her eyes flashing with the light of a wise man.
"Thank you for Fia's sharing. Next, everyone will report on their respective situations."
Li En's words pulled everyone's thoughts back to the meeting.
First of all, Cameron, Ellie and Sophie, who are in the royal capital, were elected as representatives to speak, with Cameron, who is the most talkative of the three,
"Cardinal Constantine has arrived in the royal capital."
Cameron swallowed and continued, "He is preparing to enlighten a new batch of witches. If according to what Wisdom said, then a large number of selected children will become new experimental products. Should we stop this matter?"
Every year in December is also known as Witch Month and Enlightenment Month.
The church declares that in December, the Tiger God will select new witches and scatter them all over the world, so the church will organize all newborn children to accept Lexicon detection, and those selected children will be taken away and concentrated in the church and the Guardian Bureau for enlightenment and purification.
This is almost something that all citizens of the empire know.
And now it seems that these selected children will be sent to the Wisdom Institute first.
The Wisdom Institute sends the successful experimental products back to the church, and Constantine performs the final processing of these experimental products, sending half to the Guardian Bureau and half to the church.
This matter is a top priority for the empire, and Constantine, who is performing the key task, cannot leave the royal capital, and therefore cannot come to the expedition battlefield to interfere with himself.
Li En thought so, and a feeling of anger rose in his heart.
Because the upper echelons of the empire have been using the most innocent children to conduct experiments, and experiments with extremely high mortality rates.
"It can't be stopped."
Fia said, "When Constantine set off for the royal capital, the Wisdom Institute had already completed the experiment, and new witches had been born, a total of 3 people."
"There were 10 people last year, but only 3 people this year?"
Cameron asked in surprise.
"Yes, the data is not as good as one year each year. This is also why Augulas is eager to find the Azure Dragon Whip. The sub-dragon army that can be created by the Azure Dragon Whip can replace the power of witches to a certain extent."
Fia said.
It seems that Constantine will not stay in the royal capital for too long, and he still has a probability of following Emma to the sea.
Li En originally planned to use Emma as bait to attract Constantine to chase over and set up a trap to capture him, but the premise is that the Azure Dragon Court is still his own.
Now that the Azure Dragon Court is occupied by the evil dragon, Constantine's arrival will undoubtedly increase the power of the evil dragon, plus the evil dragon has several sons whose strength is basically the same as the Azure Dragon King, then the probability of victory for the human coalition will be even lower.
It doesn't matter if the human coalition fails, but he can't fail.
Therefore, Constantine had better not come, and someone must keep him in the royal capital.
Sophie, Cameron and Ellie can't deal with the magic-immune Constantine. If you want to keep him, you have to rely on wisdom.
"Wisdom, can you keep Constantine in the royal capital temporarily? While ensuring your own safety."
Li En looked at Fia.
Fia guessed the situation Li En was facing, so she nodded, "I will try my best."
"Thank you."
Li En said gratefully.
"Um, there is one more thing."
Cameron continued, "I received a letter from the Time Witch, Milian, inviting me, Ellie and Sophie to join the Revolutionary Army."
"Did you agree?"
Li En asked.
Cameron shook her head slightly, "I refused."
She was a little guilty, feeling that this kind of thing should be reported to the Guild Master first before making a decision.
But Li En did not blame Cameron, "Well, respect your own decision."
"Don't we need to unite with the Revolutionary Army?"
Cameron looked at Li En in surprise. She originally thought that the fate waiting for them after joining the heretical organization, coupled with the exposure of the huge secret of the witch experiment, would be only one, that is, to embark on a revolution.
"No need, we are a legitimate association, we don't engage in revolution."
Li En reiterated, "Unless there is a reason why we have to do it."
"Does saving witches count as a reason?"
Dorothy looked at Li En.
Compared to Li En, Dorothy, who likes children, is even more intolerable of this cruel experiment of artificial witches,
So, she estimates that she really wants to help the Revolutionary Army.
"Yes. But that must wait until we return from the expedition."
Li En reminded.
Dorothy nodded, "Okay."
"Cameron, if you encounter the Time Witch again next time, you can let her come directly to me."
"Okay, Guild Master."
Cameron finished reporting the situation in the royal capital, and it was Eisi's turn in the Green Shade Territory.
"Miss Annie's investigation found that the sea monsters were following the instructions of the Mermaid Baron, Cecily O'Neill, to attack the Green Shade Territory."
Cecily O'Neill? This guy wanted to eat himself last time but failed, and went to the Green Shade Territory?
"Miss Anna analyzed that Cecily O'Neill probably doesn't really want to attack the Green Shade Territory, but wants to negotiate or trade with Lord Lord. Now Miss Anna is trying to communicate with Cecily O'Neill, but has not yet made contact."
After Eisi finished reporting, she also sat down.
There is not much difference between her sitting and standing, because of her height.
It's Dora's turn to report.
Dora stood up and said slowly,
"I don't know the situation in the Blue Moon Territory. I am now in the Rose Territory, dealing with the embezzlement of the White Cross Society."
Mentioning this matter, Dora was a little angry.
She never thought that the human cadres she promoted had not yet fully expanded the organization, and had already begun to embezzle public funds, and even allowed the White Cross Society to do a lot of money-gathering things, deceiving the money of the audience.
Hearing Dora say this, Dorothy also became vigilant.
In the future, the Lexicon Association will definitely grow stronger, and such moths must not appear. In addition to setting thresholds, we must also formulate certain rules and regulations, improve the system, and standardize everyone's behavior.
"This matter is not difficult to deal with. The more people there are in the organization, the more attention should be paid to standardized systems. If the system cannot limit it, then seek external help."
Fia gave Dora a suggestion, asking Dora to establish a supervisory department independent of the White Cross Society, which can monitor the department leaders of the White Cross Society at any time, and can also accept complaints from members.
Li En felt that Fia's thinking was very advanced, worthy of being a wise witch, and already had foresight. Which company is not afraid of auditing?
But the method he thought of was simpler and more crude, suggesting that Dora show her strength in front of the believers.
Dora followed the good advice and kept these things in mind, preparing to rectify the White Cross Society when she turned around.
After all, this is her first time leading a folk group, and it is normal to lack experience.
Moreover, the influence of the Golden Goddess is far less than that of Tiger.
Many people think about using the White Cross Society to gather wealth, turn around and donate a little to the church, appease the unease of their conscience, and seek the protection of Tiger.
In addition to the establishment of the system, mental control is actually more important.
But Dora is not a leader who is good at brainwashing.
She can't see the Lexicon of others, and doesn't know which people are loyal believers and which are traitors who are mixed in.
The only thing she can do is show her power to intimidate them.
These people will be well-behaved after being intimidated.
God rules mankind, relying not on mercy, but on his power.
The original intention of establishing the White Cross Society was to save people. The members believed that Dora was a kind and easy-to-bully envoy, so they dared to engage in small actions in private.
If Dora shows strong destructive power, letting the members know that the envoy of God is not weak and kind, they will naturally become well-behaved, who would dare to engage in small actions secretly?
"Well, I know, don't always talk about us, how is your situation over there? I saw in the newspaper that the expeditionary army has set off again, and you are still acting with the army of the Burns Empire."
Dora was a little worried about Li En, and was also worried about Catherine.
She didn't want Catherine's child to be without a father just after he was born.
Sophie also looked at Li En nervously, the question Dora asked was exactly what she had always wanted to ask.
"Randall wanted to get rid of me in the expedition, and killed 10 witches who accompanied the expedition at all costs, and resurrected them with the Hand of God. They have now become Randall's slaves. I have not killed them temporarily, but just imprisoned them,"
But I haven't found a way to save them either. If anyone can think of a solution, please let me know.
"Hand of God? What is that? A Gift?"
Fia asked.
She has very little access to Gifts. There's no record of the Hand of God in the Holy See's records, and she's only qualified to enter the first level of the Wise Men's library, so she doesn't have access to information about this Gift.
"Yes."
Li En nodded. "Sequence 2, Hand of God, has always been in the hands of the Pope."
"Chairman, what did you say?"
Cameron suddenly stood up.
She has suffered too many blows today. The first is the impact of the witch experiment on her outlook on life, which made her realize that she has been living in a huge lie, but fortunately, she is not the only one who has been deceived, she has many companions.
The second is that there was an Age of Order before the Holy Age, a world ruled by the Blood Clan and the Sirens, and the power of the witches all came from the Sirens left over from the previous Age, which impacted her worldview.
The third is that Randall killed 10 witches!
And those 10 witches were all her companions.
Forest Witch Ashley, Gourmet Witch Milia, Rain Witch Anita, Storm Witch Clothilde, Explosion Witch Quilly, Smooth Witch Rachel, Wax Witch Lisa, Flower Witch Sophie, Bubble Witch Shirley, and Thread Witch Blair, each one was Cameron's friend.
Cameron personally bid them farewell.
She knew that the expedition was not a child's play, and casualties were inevitable.
But she never thought that her companions would not die on the battlefield, but before the expedition.
Cameron clenched her fists, wishing she could go to His Holiness the Pope now and ask him why he killed innocent witches.
"Why did His Holiness the Pope do this?"
Ellie and Sophie are serving Guardian Witches, they are different from Cameron, a witch who grew up in the Guardian Bureau since childhood.
They basically have no friends, unlike Cameron, who has many witch friends.
But they can understand Cameron's anger.
Dora, as a witch, also felt indignant about this.
"He is already high above, the most honorable existence, why does he still want to kill Li En? Why involve the witches?"
"Because of jealousy and insecurity."
Fia said, "Li En's talent makes too many people feel afraid, and he can also summon angels from time to time. The status of angels is undoubtedly higher than that of the Pope, which is equivalent to Li En starting to challenge the Pope's authority. Whether it is the Emperor's coronation, or the Supreme Court of Justice, the Supreme Court of Law, every time the angel's decision goes against Randall's ideas, this is the reason why he wants to kill Li En."
"There's no point in discussing these things now. The matter has already happened. Doll, Hell, Ice and Snow, you are in the royal capital. I hope you stay away from Randall as much as possible. Please be patient until I return. I promise you,
I will definitely deal with him personally and give the witches an explanation."
Li En didn't want Sophie, Cameron, and Ellie to see him off, even if Sophie and Ellie's combat power could destroy the royal capital without any problems.
But Randall is very shrewd and good at using conspiracies and tricks. The wisdom of the three witches is completely inferior to him.
Maybe they will fall into his trap.
Li En didn't want this to happen.
The best way is to unite the Guardian Bureau and let Ophelia investigate secretly.
"Did you hear that?"
Li En asked.
Ellie and Sophie nodded, and Cameron's shadow nodded after a long time.
She also knew that her status was far from that of the Pope.
"Are you okay?"
Sophie asked.
"I'm fine, don't worry, I'm not that easy to get into trouble."
Since the Hand of God was mentioned, Li En told the members of the Glossary Mutual Aid Association about the function and usage cost of this Gift.
The first is to let them beware of Randall and the [Resurrected], and the second is to let them spend time looking for books or information in their spare time to see if they can find a way to plunder divinity.
Special believers have a probability of awakening divinity. It is impossible for Randall to have so much divinity alone, so he must have plundered the divinity of others to be able to resurrect so many people.
In the royal capital, there may be more [Resurrected].
Their common point is that they lose all their previous memories and become Randall's loyal servants.
Perhaps in addition to the witches who are now on the expedition, there are other witches in the Guardian Bureau who have been killed. This requires Cameron and the others to investigate themselves.
Although Li En didn't allow the three to contact Randall, he didn't say that they couldn't stay in the Guardian Bureau to investigate the situation of other witches.
Fia also decided to look for some clues and information about this in the Wise Men's Academy. Plundering divinity is also a topic worthy of exploration.
The meeting came to an end, and it was time to trade cards. Cameron, Ellie, Dora, and Ashi were not in high spirits. They received too much stimulation today.
Sophie also had no intention of trading, but handed all 7 cards she made to Li En.
"Be sure to come back safely."
Sophie said.
Although Sophie's expression could not be seen, Li En could still feel her worry.
"I will, trust me."
Seeing Sophie giving cards to Li En, Dora also handed 3 cards to Li En.
She started learning to make cards too late, and she couldn't make a successful card in one day. She failed many times before she had these three successful works.
"This is not a gift, you can use a [Summon Angel] to exchange it."
Li En smiled and handed Dora a [Angel] card.
Ellie also gave Li En all the cards she made, a total of 6 cards.
"Chairman, please don't dislike it."
"Ellie, what do you want?"
"Like Senior Sophie, I hope you can come back alive."
Ellie said seriously.
"Chairman, please accept this too."
Cameron also gave Li En the 2 cards she successfully made.
In the end, only Dolores and Fia Fia were accepting research at the Wise Men's Academy, and by the way, they were researching history and exploring secrets. They had no time to make cards during this time, so they could not participate in the transaction.
Dolores, who had 7 cards but could not trade, could only choose to give the cards to everyone, one card per person, which was considered a way to repay Li En's favor.
"I hope everyone can appear on time at the Witch Conference next time."
Dolores made a concluding remark, and the witches said goodbye one after another and went offline.
Li En looked at the 19 cards he had received, and his heart warmed.
"Lord Li En, will the association become your back garden?"
Dolores rested her cheek in one hand, looked at Li En, and asked lightly.
Li En noticed the jealousy in Dolores's words. In order to relieve his fiancée's anxiety, Li En clearly stated,
"Trust me, this will never happen."
"It's best if that's the case."
Dolores already had the consciousness of a legal wife, and she would not allow Li En to have other women besides Catherine and Sophie.
Three is already her limit.
Li En took his fiancée's little hand and got back into the quilt again. The temperature in the glacier base was very suitable for cuddling and lingering.
It wasn't until there was a knock on the door that Li En was willing to let go of Dolores, and finally kissed his娇妻's collarbone,
I sat up from the bed.
"Great master, your useless younger brother is here to see you."
Nina Owen said.
Li En could imagine the embarrassed expression on Parker's face when he heard these words.
"Go ahead."
Dolores said with a blushing face and considerately.
