Dawn of the Grey Tower
Chapter 141
Witch, it''s a chilling title. Perhaps for ordinary people, the name only reminds them of fairy tales their mothers used to scare them when they were young, or some ugly old woman who lived nearby. In fact, for casters like cheese, witches refer to more than just female casters. People in this world may have spent their whole life, and seldom encounter those who walk between common sense and darkness. However, there are a few people who, due to some kind of coincidence of fate or unfortunate experience, step into the place where the dusk and the night meet as ordinary people. Some of them are dead, some are crazy, only a few people still have limited reason to escape from the terrible world, but they brought back a few words, but they have not really experienced people as a dreamer. The witch is one of many terrible legends brought back from the brink of nightmares.
The world is unfair. Although there are many "gifted" people among human beings, perhaps the truth of the world is too cruel for normal creatures. Of all the known races, there are not many who can step into the door of truth simply by their innate ability. There may be many people who can use a certain degree of magic after proper guidance and training, but this does not mean that they are really loved by the world, or that they are excluded from the scope of the truth and linger in the endless chaos is the real kindness of the world. Since I have said that most creatures are born ignorant, there are naturally some things that are born to see the reality of the world. A small part of them are worshipped as gods, and most of them exist in places that we can''t touch in our destitute life, or something more terrible than the deepest nightmare.
"That''s the nature of witches. They are not human, although they have human shell, although they look like people, feel like people, and even eat like people. But they''re not really anything we understand. " Cheese sat on the bar on the first floor of "red blood", with a glass of honey wine in his hand. There is no doubt that since the mage is still here, it seems that he has accepted the one eye deal.
In addition to the mage who is talking, there is only one eye sitting beside him and the shadow on the other side of the bar. As for other drinkers who used to drink here, they all left their seats after seeing their boss''s gesture and protected the whole "red blood". And sparrow had already left shortly after cheese went upstairs.
"I''ve seen them before, but, with all due respect, they look more like ordinary people than you, who shine in your eyes." "One eye" lifted up the lower part of the mask and drank the mixed wine specially mixed for him by the shadow. Maybe it is because the sound changing device is put in the mask. The voice of the underground leader is much more vivid than before.
"It''s just that they don''t need it. We, the so-called casters, have to rely on a variety of other means to guide the use of magic, but they do not need to. Even most witches don''t understand what magic is, because what we see beyond the common sense is as common to them as breathing. Do you understand? " Said the cheese, taking another sip of wine.
"Is it so terrible? But don''t they do everything you say The shadow asked in doubt. Since he is also a member of the upcoming visit, he must also add knowledge about the object of the visit.
"It depends on how you define the word omnipotent. Maybe they can''t turn the earth upside down, or the waterfall can''t. But when they look at you, your life is in their hands. If they get your nails, hair or blood, then even if you flee to the ends of the earth and get the protection of all the gods and demons, you will die according to their wishes. " Cheese said, "as I said before, don''t try to guess witches with common sense. They are not us. They don''t have human thoughts. Because they see different things, their way of thinking is completely incomprehensible to us."
"Is it so dangerous? I thought they would only make strange things and add strange things to the soup pot Hearing cheese''s words, even "one eye" has some doubts. As a successful thief from witches, his understanding of witches at that time basically remained in the country''s horror legends, and when he saw the so-called witches, he even doubted the credibility of those legends.
"Hehe, the danger of witches may be more terrible than plague for ordinary people. However, there are many witches who are not interested in destroying the world. A lot of offensive behavior of ordinary people is not a problem in their eyes. That''s the main reason why I promised to go with you. From the fact that you''ve been living well after stealing their things, those witches may be the kind with a good temper Said cheese.
"Besides, didn''t I ask you how many of them there are?"
"How many of them are associated with danger?" Asked the shadow.
"Three is a perfect number. Especially for witches, it usually means girls, women and old women Cheese held out three fingers and replied, "if you observe their appearance carefully, you can still tell that the witch groups of the three basically follow such a rule, although the appearance displayed depends on their mood. This combination should be the safest of all known witch structures. The old woman will lead the team to avoid unnecessary trouble, which means that no one in the neighborhood is stupid enough to hurt them. The woman can appease the remaining two witches, so as not to let them do anything terrible in the same breath. As for girls We just need to remember not to do anything to hurt her"Are they relatives?" "One eye" heard something else from the cheese. Since this combination has existed for a long time, it means that many witches exist in this form. If they reproduce like human beings, then blood relationship is the best explanation for this combination.
"You''re right. Most of the time, the witches who work together are relatives. But some of them are made up of the day after tomorrow, for many reasons. In fact, in addition to this form, there are many kinds of witch groups. As far as I know, the most powerful witch group once occupied an entire country. And it has ruled for a hundred years. " Said cheese.
"And then what happened to them?" The shadow is curious. According to cheese, witches are so powerful, and since they have occupied a country, it''s hard to imagine what power can bring down their rule.
"Later? Then they all died. The price of having incomparable power is that the life span of witches will be shorter, and when a witch group has no successor, it is only a matter of time before they go into darkness again. " The master finished and drank the wine in the cup.
