Chapter 776 7 Evils and 6 Goods
Chapter 776 Seven Evils and Six Virtues
Myphala, the kingdom of witches?
After hearing what the blue-haired old man said, Leon's expression was slightly startled, and he couldn't help but think of the words he saw on Director Aquarius's [Past Fortune].
Miphala, the kingdom of witches, the ritual of the great witch, the death of the old king, the black cat's ruptured belly, and the witch court has no successor.
Recalling the scene of the black cat with its belly cut open and its body hung on a high tower, crying in the midst of desolation, Leon, feeling uncomfortable, could not help but frown.
"The Great Witch King of the Miphala Kingdom seems to be a single-line heir, right? And hasn't her only daughter been found yet?"
"Yes."
Director Aquarius nodded, then met Leon's gaze and explained:
"Catelin has indeed been missing for a long time, but the High Witch King is still alive, so you can ask her for help."
The great wizard king who is over one hundred and thirty years old?
After listening to Director Aquarius’s proposal, Leon’s brows furrowed even more tightly.
"Isn't she almost... Sorry, this may not sound nice, but isn't her lifespan almost up? But my child hasn't been born yet, so I'm afraid the timing won't match?"
"The time difference is insurmountable for others, but for Beckinsale's lineage, it is not a big problem. She has the ability to transcend time and contact your future children in advance."
Facing Leon's questioning, Director Aquarius smiled indifferently, and then calmly revealed the secret behind it.
"The Great Witch King of the Witch Country is actually one of the Ten Clan of Da Ting, and the most important one among them, the one in charge of the Heart of Da Ting. The witch who used to live in the center of Da Ting is the witch who now lives in the Witch Country.
For the female members of their lineage, time is not something untouchable. They can make contacts across time as easily as we go downstairs and chat with our neighbors. Therefore, for a long time in the past, they were regarded as leaders and protectors by the other nine lines.
Even the creation of the Watchtower Palace that protects mankind may have been inspired by the two directors of that generation, Taurus and Aquarius, after they came into contact with the Witch King at the time. The Watchtower Palace's magical ability to peek into the future may have been a reference and imitation of their talents."
"..."
There is actually such a thing... Although you are a little lame when you take action, and people stab you in the back right from the start, and you are as weak as Edward from the Scorpio Branch, but you know a lot!
Listening to the various secrets that kept coming out of the blue-haired old man's mouth, Leon was secretly shocked, and at the same time, he couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Director Balto, how do you know so much? I feel like Lord Taurus and the others may not know as much as you do!"
"Haha, I've lived a long life!"
After looking at Leon, who showed admiration on his face, the blue-haired old man, feeling quite comfortable, laughed twice, then stroked his beard and said:
“As people age, they lose energy and their brains don’t work as fast as you young people, but I have lived for more than 130 years and have accumulated a lot of special experiences.
Well... and when I was young, I participated in a joint mission with the Pisces Branch, and was seconded to the Witch Country for a few years. I was close to Beckinsale, and although we didn't end up together, we were still very close friends."
"..."
Good man... No wonder you called the Great Witch King by his name directly, and you knew everything about the Witch Country. It turns out that you had an affair with him!
After taking a look at the blue-haired old man who looked a little shy, Leon said awkwardly:
"So what you just said..."
"Naturally, Beckinsale told me that."
The blue-haired old man said with a smile:
"They are naturally close to time. As long as they can find the right 'coordinates', it is not difficult to find out what happened in the past.
Although they are restricted by some rules and cannot tell others about the future, they can basically talk about what happened in the past without too many restrictions. "
“I see… This bloodline is really convenient.” After praising sincerely, Leon hesitated for a moment as he looked at the blue-haired director’s slightly beating soul, and then asked openly:
"Director Balto, the reason you told me all this today, 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 frankly admitting his plan, the blue-haired old man sighed and said softly with a rather nostalgic look:
"Although we broke up in the end, Beckinsale is the only... the only... cough... although not the only woman I have loved in my life, but she is the only one still alive.
So if possible, I still hope that at the end of her life, she can see Caitlin's child again and leave this world without regrets. "
When he said this, he couldn't help but pause for a moment, then a hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes, and he continued with a slightly dejected look:
"Mr. Lyon, you are aware of the situation in the bureau. If someone else were to handle this matter, they would try to prevent her from meeting Caitlin, so as to avoid giving the King Slayer Society an opportunity.
Although I hope that Beckinsale can leave without regrets, I am also worried that it will harm Caitlin's child, so...ah...I don't know whether I should do this. You can decide whether to help or not according to the situation at that time!"
"..."
So you're just throwing this burden to me? I knew... there's really no such thing as a free lunch...
Although this matter sounded like a huge hassle, considering that he might really have to ask the other party for help, Leon thought about it and did not refuse, but nodded slightly.
"Then I'll find a chance to go there and see if I can help... By the way."
After recalling the situations of the various royal families he had come into contact with and heard about, Leon asked curiously:
"Director Balto, you know a lot. Could you please tell me what kind of power fragments are in the blood of each of the twelve royal families?"
"That's easy to say."
The blue-haired old man blinked when he heard this, thought for a moment, and then said:
"According to what Beckinsale told me, when selecting the palace sitters for our Cleanup Bureau's Watch Palace, in addition to the requirements you already know, there is actually a less obvious hidden rule.
In the past, those chosen by the Watch Palace were basically humans who had crossed the line between being human and god, or were only one step away from crossing the line. Moreover, the powers they had comprehended were definitely those that were closest to the ‘essence’ of humans.”
"Human nature?"
"It's the so-called seven deadly sins and six virtues."
The blue-haired old man spoke slowly and said:
"The seven deadly sins are pride, laziness, anger, gluttony, greed, envy, and lust; and the six virtues are justice, courage, temperance, humility, diligence, and mercy."
"Compared to other powers, 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 courageous saint will inevitably have a few despicable thoughts in his life, and even the most brutal and cruel villain will definitely have a trace of compassion for the weak.
Therefore, these seven original sins and six virtues are the underlying common characteristics of our human race, and are the essence that we can never abandon. "
