North Journey
Chapter 84 Why the Eight Barrens
For the Witch God Temple, there is actually no need for such a large number of witches, not to mention that the age of witches is limited to fifteen to twenty years old.Most of the witches will not stay in the Temple of the Witch for too long. They are more likely to walk on the mainland, using great witches to replace the power given to them by the gods, helping the people who need them, and spreading the belief of God Lolta.
And the great witch who is permanently stationed in the witch temple is not a person who seeks pleasure.Each generation of great witches is raised and taught by the previous generation of great witches. Those who can communicate with the gods have developed the virtues of humility, tolerance, patience, hard work, and generosity since childhood.They never think that they are different from ordinary people as great witches. On the contrary, because they are burdened with the expectations and vision of the gods, they demand perfection more than anyone else.
Priestesses and Witch God Guards only appeared at the beginning because the huge Witch Temple still needed helpers to take care of and maintain it. Out of their belief in God Lolta and respect for the Great Witch, countless people were willing to provide services for the Witch Temple free of charge.
Gradually, the Witch God Temple has its own guard system and servants serving the palace.The exquisite sacrificial vessels, the respect of the people, the needs of the royal family, and the faces of the nobles all made these people unable to refuse to appear in this originally empty palace.
Great witches are not inhuman beings. They understand that there are certain forms in this world that cannot be rejected. As the name of God Lolta is spread more and more widely, the temple of witches will inevitably be elevated, whether it is spiritually or not. , status, or material.
Therefore, Howard, the third generation wizard, formally established the Witch God Guard. While cultivating witches, he also trained a group of guards who had pious beliefs and belonged exclusively to the Witch God Temple.At the same time, a rule was set for the selection of witches every three years, stating that only pure and faithful women could become maids of the witch temple.
His decision quickly won the support of civilians and nobles, whether it is a believer who sincerely believes in God Lorta and wants to contribute to the temple, or an ambitious believer who wants to use the Temple of Witches as a springboard to cross the original class barrier All of them were very satisfied with this decision.
However, even though Dawu Howard compromised against the invisible pressure from the outside world, he still insisted on some principles.
For example, the strict selection and training of the witch guards, or the equal treatment of witches regardless of their status.
Even though the tasks assigned to women from aristocratic families after being selected as witches are generally different from the responsibilities of maids, the Witch God Temple will not allow them to bring the extravagant life at home to the Witch God Temple.
For an ordinary lady who hopes to use the aura of a witch to get a husband who is better than she could have chosen, such a request may not be a big deal, but for Luisa Felix, she is unbearable .
She is already the most honorable woman in the kingdom, so why does she need the blessing of a witch?However, the royal princesses of all dynasties will serve as the chief maiden in the Witch God Temple for three years. Once she refuses to go, people will not think of the problem of the Witch God Temple, but will definitely suspect that her character is flawed.
She was unwilling to go, but after getting in touch with the dance of worshiping the gods and the great witch, she had other thoughts.
As a princess, with three older brothers, no matter how much her father, Felix II dotes on her, she will never have the chance to become queen.But the Temple of the Witch God is different. As long as the great witch chooses her, then she can become the person with the most right to speak on the Kanan Continent.
As for the fact that the next generation of great witches should be cultivated from an early age and be chosen by the gods, she doesn't take it seriously.What she wanted never escaped from her hands, and this time, it was no exception.
Soon, however, she discovered that she had miscalculated.
Faced with her approaching to please, the Massa witch always looked at an ignorant child. Those kind and kind eyes did not make her feel good. On the contrary, Luisa always had a feeling of being underestimated.
——She is the princess of the empire, the most outstanding heir of this generation of the Felix royal family!She is no longer a child!
So, that day, as the chief priestess, she found a chance to be alone with Grand Witch Massa.
She straightforwardly pointed out the increasingly sharp contradiction between theocracy and kingship. Her father had begun to worry about the excessive influence of the Witch Temple on his subjects, and her elder brother, Warner, who was most likely to inherit the throne, Prince Felix once said in private that "something like the Witch Temple should not exist."
Although the royal family's attitude towards the Witch God Temple was not known to the common people, it was no secret to the upper class.As the ruler of the Witch Temple and the seventh generation of the Great Witch, it is obviously impossible for Massa to be unaware of such a situation.
Under such circumstances, choosing a princess from the royal family to inherit the position of the great witch is undoubtedly the best way to ease the conflict between the temple and the royal family.
Luisa Felix originally thought that under such a background, after she had shown enough skills and was sure to win the Witch Temple, even if the Massa Witch would not immediately agree to her proposal, she should think again .Who knew, what she got was a straightforward rejection.
The eyes of this great witch who was nearly half a hundred years old but still had a youthful appearance flashed a wisdom that did not match his appearance at all. He watched her quietly, and there seemed to be comfort and warning in his words.
"Your Highness, the god has been watching us, and he will guide us."
God?
She originally wanted to refute contemptuously, but at a certain moment, she was overwhelmed by the aura of this great witch.Mingming was always calm and gentle, but it made her feel a huge pressure.
She retreated briefly, but did not give up her thoughts.
After learning about her desire, her elder brother Warner expressed his support to her, and at the same time, told her a shocking secret - killing the previous generation of witches, drinking the blood of the witches, can inherit everything from the witches strength!
She was shocked by this secret, but when she asked Warner about the source of the news, he silently refused.
Her elder brother, the Prince His Highness who has been somewhat unpredictable since childhood, just sat there watching her, waiting for her decision.
"it is good."
In the end, she didn't refuse such a temptation. Her brother put all this in front of her, naturally because he knew she couldn't refuse.
After getting her affirmative answer, Warner showed a big smile.
At that time, the sun was just right, and the flowers in the garden of the palace were in full bloom, but seeing his smile, Louisa Felix felt a little cold for no reason.
Everything after that went surprisingly smoothly, and most of the witches in the witch temple were used by her.
She quietly assassinated the great witch Massa, and Warner Felix also solved their old and fatuous father without anyone knowing it.
Except for one thing -
Louisa Felix, who was wearing a white sacrificial robe, returned to her bedroom after a day's work.
But she didn't rest immediately, but pressed the switch on the wall and walked into a secret passage.
The secret road was built very deep, but looking at the soil quality on both sides, it can be seen that it was built only in recent years.
Luisa Felix walked alone on this dark path, and it was rare that she did not dislike the simplicity of the road.
At the end of the secret passage is a small room, and someone has already been waiting there.
The man was covered in a black robe, with a thin body and a stooped back, but he couldn't hide the bloody aura all over his body.
"How about it, did she recruit?"
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent..."
Before the man finished speaking, Luisa had already picked up the leather whip hanging on the wall and whipped him.
"Incompetent, incompetent...I gave you such a long time, did I come to hear you say these two words?"
"Your Majesty."
The man did not hide, and stood there firmly, waiting for Louisa Felix's anger to vent.
Louisa Felix wanted to beat this man to death, but she knew that this man was not her subordinate after all.With her brother's personality, it's okay to teach his subordinates a little bit, but if he is really killed, it's hard to guarantee that he will do something, not to mention, Warner seems to value this person very much.
After calming down, Luisa Felix waved her hand to let the man go down.
The man didn't say much, and obediently left from the other direction of the secret passage, as if he hadn't been whipped on him in the previous few whips.
Luisa waited for the man to walk away before standing up and pushing open the door on the left side of the small room.
Behind the door was a water prison, where a woman with disheveled hair was hung, her dilapidated body covered with various torture injuries.If anyone else is here, they will definitely find out that this woman is Wendy Black, the second daughter of Earl Black's family, who used to be the witch of the Witch Temple, and Prince Warner, the fiancée of the current King Felix III who died of illness ten years ago.
This Miss Wendy Black once had an excellent reputation in the kingdom's high society. After she was selected as a witch by the Witch Temple, she was appointed by His Majesty King Felix II as Prince Warner's fiancée.
However, when she reached the age of leaving the witch temple and getting married, His Majesty the King died of illness suddenly.Fortunately, after Prince Warner inherited the throne, he immediately promised Earl Black that he would marry her as his queen as soon as the mourning period was over.
It's a pity that Miss Wendy Black didn't wait until this day. When Warner Felix was just starting to prepare for their wedding, this gentle and beautiful Miss Black, who was as beautiful and pure as a white rose, passed away due to illness.
After the death of Miss Wendy Black, King Felix III showed great pain, and even lay ill for half a year because of excessive grief.To this day, he is still unwilling to marry a wife, and three years ago, he adopted Noah Felix, the son of his younger brother Leslie Felix, as the next generation heir to the royal family.
However, this Wendy Black, who should have died of illness for ten years, is still alive?And imprisoned in the dungeon of Princess Luisa Felix's bedroom in the Temple of the Witch?
"Louisa Felix, how have you been doing these ten years?"
Obviously just experienced a long and lasting torture, but when Wendy Blake watched Louisa Felix, whom she regarded as her best friend, step into the dungeon, she still looked up with a chuckle, laughing at someone who tried his best In exchange for ten years of fear.
And the great witch who is permanently stationed in the witch temple is not a person who seeks pleasure.Each generation of great witches is raised and taught by the previous generation of great witches. Those who can communicate with the gods have developed the virtues of humility, tolerance, patience, hard work, and generosity since childhood.They never think that they are different from ordinary people as great witches.
