Chapter 776: Seven Evils and Six Good Deeds
Mephala, the Kingdom of Witches?
After hearing the words of the blue-haired old man, Leon's expression suddenly became slightly startled, and he couldn't help but think of the words he saw on Director Aquarius's [Lot of the Past].
Miphala, the country of witches, the ritual of the great witch, the old king’s longevity, the black cat’s belly is broken, and the witch court has no successor.
After recalling the black cat with its belly cut open and its body hung on a high tower, whining in the ruins, Leon, who felt uncomfortable, couldn't help but frown.
"The Great Witch-King of Mephala Kingdom seems to be descended from a single line, right? And her only daughter hasn't been found yet?"
"Yes."
Aquarius The director nodded, then met Leon's eyes and explained:
"Caitlin has indeed been missing for a long time, but His Majesty the Witch King is still alive, so you can ask her for help."
The Great Witch King who is over 130 years old?
After listening to Director Aquarius's suggestion, Leon's brows suddenly frowned even more tightly.
“Isn’t she fast...Sorry, this may not sound nice to say, but isn’t her lifespan almost exhausted? But my child hasn’t been born yet, so I’m afraid the time won’t match up. Right? ”
“The difference in time is insurmountable to others. It’s extraordinary, but for Beckinsale’s lineage, it’s not really a big problem. She has the ability to transcend time and contact your future children in advance.”
Faced with Lyon’s doubts, Director Aquarius smiled nonchalantly, and then revealed the secret behind it with a calm expression.
“The Great Witch King of the Kingdom of Witches is actually one of the ten descendants of the Great Court, and is the most important among them. The one in charge of the [Heart] of the Great Court, the witch who used to live in the center of the Great Court, is A witch living in the land of witches now.
For the female members of their lineage, time is not an intangible thing. They have contact across time as easily as we go downstairs to chat with our neighbors. Therefore, for a long time in the past, They are all regarded as leaders and protectors by the other Nine Descendants.
Even the creation of the Watch Palace to protect mankind may have been inspired by the two directors of that generation, Taurus and Aquarius, after contact with the Witch King at that time. Maybe the Watch Palace has the magical ability to peer into the future. It is a reference and imitation of their talents. "
"..."
There is such a thing... By the way, although you stretched your hips a bit when you started, you will be stabbed in the back in various ways, and you are as good as a Scorpio. He looks like Edward from the branch, but he knows a lot of things!
Listening to the various secrets that the blue-haired old man kept coming out of his mouth, Leon couldn't help but secretly gasped. Asked curiously:
"Director Balto, how do you know so many things? I feel that Mr. Taurus and others may not know as clearly as you!"
"Haha, I have lived a long time!"
< br>After looking at Lyon, who had a look of admiration on his face, the blue-haired old man who felt quite comfortable laughed twice, then stroked his beard and said:
"As people get older, I don't have much energy, and my brain is not as fast as you young people, but I have survived for more than 130 years, and I have accumulated a lot of special experiences.
Well... and when I was young. , participated in a joint mission with the Pisces Branch, and was seconded to the Kingdom of Witches for a few years. He and Beckinsale were relatively close. Although they did not get together in the end, they were still very close friends. "
"..."
Good guy... No wonder you directly called the Great Witch King by his name, and you also know everything about the situation in the Kingdom of Witches. It turns out that you once had an affair with someone!
After glancing at the shy blue-haired old man, Leon said with difficulty:
"So what you just said..."
"Of course it's all Beckinsale told me.”
The blue-haired old man said with a smile:
“Their lineage is naturally close to time. As long as they can find the correct 'coordinates', it is not difficult to know what happened in the past.
Although they are restricted by some rules and cannot talk to others about the future, they can basically talk about what happened in the past without too many restrictions. This... this bloodline is really convenient." After admiring sincerely, looking at the slightly pulsing soul of the blue-haired director, Leon hesitated for a moment, and then asked frankly:
" Director Balto, the reason why you told me this today is that besides helping me solve the problem, is there anything else you want me to do? For example... help your good friend find her daughter? "
"Yes."
After admitting his plan frankly, the blue-haired old man sighed, and said softly with a rather nostalgic look:
"Although we separated in the end, Bei Kinsel is the only... only six... cough... although not the only woman I have loved in my life, she is the only one who is still alive.
So if possible, I still hope that she can see the child Caitlin again at the end of her life and leave this world without regrets."
When he said this, he couldn't help but feel. There was a slight pause, then a flash of hesitation flashed across his eyes, and he continued with a slightly dejected expression:
"Your Excellency Leon, you also know the situation in the bureau. If someone else is handling this matter, they will try to avoid letting her meet Caitlin, lest the Slaughtered King find an opportunity there.
And Although I hope that Beckinsale can leave without regrets, I am also worried that it will harm Caitlin's child, so...sigh...I don't know whether I should do this or not. You will decide based on the situation at that time. Don’t do this!”
“…”
So you just leave this burden to me? I knew...there is no such thing as a free lunch...
Although this matter sounded like it was not an ordinary trouble, but considering that he might really have to ask for help, Leon thought about it. He didn't refuse, but nodded slightly.
"Then I'll look for a chance to go there and see if I can help... By the way."
After recalling the situations of various royal families that he had contacted and heard about, Leon was a little curious. Asked:
"Director Balto, you know a lot, could you please tell me what kind of power fragments each have in the blood of the twelve royal families?"
"That's easy to say."
The blue-haired old man blinked after hearing this, thought for a moment and then said:
"According to what Beckinsale told me, in addition to the requirements you already know, there is actually a less obvious underlying rule when our Cleanup Bureau's Watch Palace selects people to sit in.
The people selected by the Watch Palace in the past were basically humans who had transcended the distinction between humans and gods, or were only one step away from it, and the powers they understood must be those closest to the 'essence' of human beings."< br>
"The essence of human beings?"
"It is the seven deadly sins and the six virtues that are often said."
The blue-haired old man slowed down and spoke:
"The Seven Deadly Sins are Pride, Sloth, Wrath, Gluttony, Greed, Envy, and Lust; while the Six Virtues are Justice, Valor, Temperance, Humility, Diligence, and Mercy."
"Compared to the others. In terms of power, these thirteen powers are relatively special. This specialness does not refer to their strength, but the things they represent are inseparable from our human race.
After all, even the most upright and brave saint will inevitably have a few despicable thoughts in his life. Even the most cruel and cruel villain must have had a trace of compassion for the weak
So these seven original sins and six virtues are the potential commonality of our human race, and they are also the essence that we can never abandon.”
