Chapter 346: The Past (Part II)

"Hmm...... Is this an advanced awakening?" the prince asked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Agatha didn't know what to say for a while, and there was only one thought left in her head - why was this happening?

The Holy City was forgotten, the Federation was destroyed, and it stands to reason that without special training and guidance, the witches' abilities should be greatly regressed. But what did she see now? a witch who had just come of age and had been promoted twice, which was not at all a stroke of luck, considering that there were only a handful of such witches even in the Federation of Geniuses.

And, if I heard it right, there are three other people who are like Anna?

Agatha stared blankly at the gray-haired man, and it took a while for her to come to her senses, "This...... I guess so, but I didn't have a balance of magic stones, and I couldn't test the size of the change in ability. She paused, her throat a little dry, "I would like to ask what happened to Anna when she woke up? She seems to have just come of age, did these two changes happen in just a year or two?"

After Agatha finished speaking, she found that she unconsciously used honorifics - witches cannot be inherited, even if a large number of ordinary people are recruited as a cluster, there is no guarantee that powerful witches will be born, so the high-level always determines the order by ability, not life experience. According to Anna's current ability, she already has the qualifications to enter the top of the federation, and compared to herself, if not the superior, at least she is an equal figure.

Any high-level awakened person is an object worthy of respect.

"The first time was because I ran out of magic when I fought the evil beasts, and the second time I thought it was due to learning knowledge. ”

"Knowledge ......," she was stunned, "what kind of knowledge?"

"Ahem, we can talk about this later," the prince cleared his throat, "Now let's go back to what we just talked about, what exactly is Akaris's Divine Punishment Experiment?"

Also, if he hadn't lied to himself, this knowledge must contain a very remarkable truth, so Anna could awaken new abilities through epiphany. It is not surprising that he is reluctant to elaborate until he has gained trust. Agatha couldn't help but feel excited, increasing the chances of promotion was of great significance to witches, and if they could figure out the principle, it would not be difficult to revive the Federation.

But where did he get this knowledge? How could some villagers understand the magic of this backward wilderness? She was puzzled by what the world had become in four hundred years?

Agatha put these difficult questions aside for a moment, "Akaris, who is extremely powerful, wears the Divine Punishment Stone, and will not fall behind even in the face of several Hell Lords. However, there are too few above the transcendent. Or rather...... We lost out on the diversity of capabilities. ”

"Diversity?"

"Yes, no one knows what kind of abilities a witch can possess until she awakens, but according to the Federation, only 10 out of 10 witches are suitable for combat - and that ratio also applies to the extraordinary. And how many of these battle witches can become promotions is completely uncertain. The Federation had been in a situation where there had not been a single promoter in fifty years, so the witches' fighting abilities were very unstable. ”

"Mortals don't necessarily wake up, awaken not necessarily to fight, fight doesn't necessarily mean to get stronger, right?" said the prince, groping his chin.

"That's pretty much it," Agatha sighed, "so we formed a mortal guard to compensate for the witches' shortcomings, but ...... Mortals cannot defeat the devil. Even if they were to carry the Divine Punishment Stone, it would not be enough to compete with the infinitely powerful mad demons. In this unfavorable situation, Akariss ordered the Exploration Society to begin research on samurai who could break through the limits of the human body, and judging from this scribbled note, it seems that she succeeded......"

"It seems?" said the prince, curiously, "don't you say that you are a member of the Secret Society?"

"That's true, but since this order, I've left the Tachira Quest and built my own lab building in the Hidden Forest. She bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before continuing, "They quickly found their way and used the power of the Divine Punishment Stone to forcibly bind witches and mortals together, but...... This process takes the witch's life. I can't accept this kind of experimentation, and the Quest Society should focus on exploring the uses of the Divine Stone, rather than treating witches as consumables. Nataya is right, this kind of behavior will only bring destruction to the witch. ”

The prince looked a little shocked, "Treat people as consumables?"

"Akaris, too, was helpless, Tachira was in danger at the time," Agatha saw the other party's unbearable expression, and for some reason suddenly felt a little more pleasing in her heart, "But now that the federation has disappeared, it can be seen that this kind of thing has not survived, and it should not appear again in the future." ”

When she finished speaking, she lowered her head, rubbed the pages of the book, turned over the mountains, crossed the river...... What a familiar slogan. But where are you all now, and how can I be alone to reforge order?

"But the Divine Punishment remains. ”

These words made Agatha's fingers freeze suddenly, and she looked at the prince in disbelief, "You...... Say what?"

"I don't know if it's a coincidence," the other said slowly, as if considering the wording, "the church...... It is an organization that you have never heard of, in the middle of the desperate mountains, that has established two cities, and both of them are called holy cities. Not only that, but they are also searching for orphans and street children to be adopted by the Holy City Monastery, from which Wendy escaped. ”

"The Church has its own armies and territories, and the most powerful of them are the Divine Punishment Army, and these unconscious monsters are as powerful as transcendent witches, and there are definitely not a few of them. On top of that, they may even have a powerful group of witches, which is why I will temporarily seal off your abilities with the Divine Punishment Lock. "Before you tell us this," said the prince, "before you tell us this...... We have always thought that the church was the one who built the holy city of Taqira in the wilderness and fought against the devil, and those relics were also left by the church. ”

Agatha opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word, an organization of mortals had taken away the Federation's most important secrets, and in turn hunted witches, creating a Divine Punishment Army to stabilize its rule?

As if to see her exhaustion and discomfort, Wendy gently pressed her down on the bed and whispered, "Let's get here today and get a good night's sleep." Rest assured, we'll find out why. ”

Then, she felt her ankle loosen and the Locks of Divine Punishment had been removed by Anna. One by one, everyone left the room, and the gray-haired prince walked last.

As he closed the door, Agatha heard a calm, steady voice.

"One thing you are wrong, mortals can defeat the devil. ”
