Chapter 130 The Secret of the Lord of the White Tower and the Gospel of the Future
Deya still has a question in his mind.
He frowned as he looked at the Lord of the White Tower, who was smiling gently in front of him, and his eyes inadvertently swept across her chest.
Under the white gauze skirt, you can indeed see slight ups and downs, and judging from the body shape, it is definitely a girl.
But Deya clearly remembered that when he was reminiscing in the world, he also looked at the other person's chest, and it was flat.
He asked the question bluntly.
"It's just a small illusion. I don't want too many people to pay attention to me. If someone knew that I'm a woman, it would probably cause me some trouble."
Mavis said with a big smile on her face.
I see. It’s just a simple illusion…
Yes, the "charm" of the Lord of the White Tower is really too strong. If you know that she is a girl, it is easy for people to fall in love with her under that strange charm.
This is indeed a troublesome thing.
However, Deya still complained: "But even if you say you are a man, it may bring more trouble."
To many nobles and priests, pretty little boys are much more interesting than pretty little girls.
Mavis chuckled, "This is indeed a vexing question."
But looking at her expression, she didn't look distressed at all.
Compared to the personality of the other Mavis, this Lord of the White Tower is a little more elusive.
Although the other Mavis was hostile to Deya, in Deya's opinion, the high elf girl was easier to understand and could be described as straightforward.
As for the Lord of the White Tower in front of him, even though she had great goodwill towards him, Deya still couldn't guess what she was up to. He didn't know her true appearance and whether she was planning something.
"Ms. Mavis, I have a lot of questions I want to ask. Why don't you start with yourself?"
"What do you want to know?"
"For example, about Miss Mavis' life experience and past, about the 'Twin Witches' issue, or maybe your attitude towards me is a little too nice."
"It is not the behavior of a noble gentleman to ask about a girl's past so bluntly."
"But I think you wouldn't mind, Miss Mavis."
Deya crossed his legs, leaned back on the chair, folded his fingers, and said with a smile.
Mavis smiled softly, her hand resting on her chin, as if she was reminiscing.
“Well, since you want to know, Mr. Deya, I will tell you briefly.
As I said before, the elves hate witches.
Although witches are born, they show their abilities as witches during their growth stage, which can be proven by Miss Lamia."
In order to make her words more convincing, Mavis signaled Lamia with her eyes.
Miss Witch nodded slightly to Deya.
"Twin Witches, as the name suggests, are two sides of the same coin. If I have to separate one of them, the other one is the main one. She is a high elf who grew up normally.
I am an individual that emerged after the witch's abilities emerged. I am born with knowledge and will be more mature.
As for the abilities of the Twin Witches, as you can see, they have two extraordinary professions, which allow them to deal with different situations, and our spell slots are not shared."
Deya listened carefully to the words of the Lord of the White Tower.
The two extraordinary professions do not share the same spell slots. From this perspective, the witch's ability is stronger than expected.
This means that the Twin Witches can use twice as many spells as other people.
Mavis's extraordinary professions are a priest of the 'Domain of Fate' and a wizard of the 'School of Enchantment'.
The priests in this world can do more than just heal. As long as they choose the right expertise, priests wearing heavy armor can also be extremely powerful in close combat.
Mavis's two professions are quite complementary. She can engage in close combat, heal, and use powerful spells.
"Why do the elves hate witches? Is it a curse between races, or is there another reason?"
Deya suddenly asked at this time.
Mavis glanced at him, shook her head and said, "I don't know either. This may be related to an even older history."
"Since you are a member of the royal family of the high elves, haven't you read this history?"
"Among the high elves, historical records are not managed by the royal family, but by the Church of Destiny and the Church of Balance."
"Wait, you said the Church of Destiny. Elves also believe in the Church of Destiny?!"
Deya's eyes widened slightly.
"The elves believe in both the 'Fate Observer' and the 'Balance Watcher'."
Mavis's answer made Deya's brain race.
He felt that there was some important secret hidden in it.
Deya stared at Mavis carefully, trying to see if she was hiding something or didn't want to say it.
But Deya could only be full of doubts about this elf who always had a gentle smile on her face, and could not tell what she really thought.
'I'll ask the teacher about this when I get a chance.'
Deya motioned for Mavis to continue.
"Mavis, that is, my other self, was born as the Saint of the 'Church of Destiny'. The so-called Saint is the medium for the 'God' to descend.
The nine orthodox churches have been conducting similar experiments, hoping to create a human body of "God" so that the gods can truly descend.
But in another year when I was fifty years old, the witch's ability was revealed, and I was born as a "witch", which caused the Saint Plan of the Destiny Church to fail.
As a witch, I was driven out of the Emerald Courtyard, or rather, I was taken out of the Emerald Courtyard by the Church of Destiny.
In the days that followed, the Church of Destiny did not give up. It tried to strip away the part of me that was a 'witch' and leave only the part that was a saint.
To this end, the Destiny Church and the Witch Cult reached a cooperation agreement, and the two sides worked together to study the method of separation, with the Witch's part going to the Cult and the Saint's part going to the Church. "
Mavis spoke about her childhood experiences in a very calm manner, as if she was talking about another person's life.
But Deya got the other information he wanted from her words.
As expected, the nine righteous gods were unable to descend.
But the nine righteous gods want to come again, so they let the church conduct research in this area?
"The other me hated being a witch and thought that my appearance changed her life, so she cooperated with the Church of Destiny and joined the Witch Cult.
In the Witch Cult, she saw the true face of the cult and how the witches used cruel methods to seize the power of the witches. "
Mavis' words made Lamia nod silently.
Deya couldn't help but glance at Lamia.
Her power was also taken away by those witches in this way, using the cruel and painful method of "eating her alive".
"My friendship with Kara was established by her at that time. My experience in the Witch Cult helped me accept myself as a witch. In this way, I should thank the Witch Cult."
Mavis made a little self-deprecating joke.
“Kara actually had a chance to escape from the Witch Cult, but the Witch Cult used her as a threat to force Kara to go back, and she was tortured even more cruelly.
Another one I’ve been really guilty of.”
Deya nodded slightly.
He learned about the relationship between the other Mavis and the Witch of Wish.
No wonder Mavis got so emotional when Kara chose to use her last few months of life to use her witch powers.
It turned out that she felt guilty towards her friend.
She believed that it was because of her that the Wish Witch was treated more cruelly.
"My luck is relatively good. As a research subject jointly owned by the Church of Destiny and the Witch Cult, I have not been treated too cruelly by the Witch Cult.
They were also afraid of hurting me and having to explain to the Destiny Church, but even so, I had problems with my 'body'."
Mavis said with some regret.
"what is the problem?"
Deya looked at the other person carefully and found that he had both arms and legs.
Of course there may be other physical defects, but Mavis was wearing a white gauze dress and Deya couldn't see her naked body.
"Isn't it bigger than me when you take off your pants?"
Deya was secretly complaining in his heart.
Mavis didn’t know about Deya’s complaint, she answered: “Twin witches should be balanced, there shouldn’t be a gap in power between me and my other self.
But now, although I have the strength of eight rings, my other self only has six rings. This is the trick played by the Witch Cult.
The price is that my power is very unstable. When I fight as the main body, I may be replaced by another personality at any time. This is very dangerous in battle.
Secondly, the imbalance between us is also reflected in different eras.
In the masculine year, I am mostly active, and in the feminine year, her consciousness is the main thing.”
After a pause, Mavis continued, “…Therefore, in the positive year, when my consciousness is dominant, the Church of Destiny and the Witch Cult will be very quiet.
But when the year of the feminine comes, they will attack me, and I have been running away, but I will be caught every time in the end. "
Deya hesitated for a moment and then said, "You are an eighth-ring mage, don't you have any ability to resist?"
Mavis sighed, “I said that my power is unstable, and both the cult and the church have people with nine rings.
If I really showed danger to the Witch Cult and the Church of Destiny, they would definitely kill me first, so I didn't dare to make a big fuss.
As for the other me, as the Saint of Destiny, the Church of Destiny can always find our traces in the trajectory of fate, and I can't run away even if I want to."
From Mavis' words, Deya roughly understood her life and felt her frustration.
As a member of the royal family of the high elves, she was born a princess, but at the same time she was also a test subject of the Church of Destiny.
At a young age, she awakened the power of a witch and became a witch, and was thus driven out of the territory of the elves.
After that, for more than a hundred years, he kept jumping back and forth between the Church of Destiny and the Witch Cult - as a subject of research.
However, due to the dual oppression from the Church of Destiny and the Witch Cult, as well as her own strength problems, she was unable to completely resist even with the power of eight rings.
Her own strength should be the main reason. If she was a complete eight-ring master, Mavis should be able to get rid of those two big organizations.
Although Mavis omitted many details, Deya finally understood her relationship with the Emerald Court, the Church of Destiny, and the Witch Cult.
"How did you join the Nine Rings Tower?"
Mavis didn't mention the Nine Rings Tower just now.
"The former Lord of the White Tower accepted me as her disciple, and I learned magic from her. After my teacher passed away, the School of Enchantment could not find a wizard stronger than me, so I naturally became the Lord of the White Tower."
"The Church of Destiny and the Witch Cult agree to let you learn magic?"
"That's because the teacher is powerful enough. As a rare nine-ring wizard of the school of enchantment in history, especially a nine-ring wizard who is about to die and doesn't care about his life, the church and the cult are unwilling to provoke him."
Deya showed a look of realization, nodded and said: "It seems that you are too weak. Even if you become the new master of the White Tower, you still cannot escape your fate."
"Ha ha……"
Mavis's face froze, and she gave an awkward yet polite smile.
I feel a little weird to be told this by you, a third-ring, oh no, now a fourth-ring necromancer.
"Since you are the master of the White Tower, why don't you ask the Nine Rings Tower to help you solve the problem?"
“Master Irwin didn’t tell you that the Nine Rings Tower is just a loose organization of mages, more like a research institute, and the various towers do not interfere with each other.
The other tower masters only want to study the truth of magic and have no interest in my private affairs."
Deya thought about it and the teacher seemed to have said that the Nine Rings Tower was just a loose research organization.
As long as the Church of Destiny and the Witch Cult do not provoke the Nine-Ring Tower and do not cause trouble for these high-ring mages who study every day.
This group of mages would not go against two strong organizations just for someone like Mavis.
Deya looked at Mavis with pitiful eyes, as if to say, "Don't you have any friends?"
Even if the relationship between colleagues is unreliable, friends should be willing to help you. You don’t even have a friend who is high-level!
"Ha ha……"
The Lord of the White Tower laughed dryly again.
She was very unhappy about being despised by Deya, but she had to ask Deya for help, so she had to endure it.
Deya saw this and that’s why he was so casual with the Lord of the Tower.
"The last question is, why are you so obsessed with killing me? This is the first time I've met her, I shouldn't have any grudge against her."
Mavis has already answered the questions that needed to be asked, and the rest may be unknown to Mavis herself, or she may not want to say them.
Deya asked his last question.
This time, Mavis didn't say anything directly. She just took out a book and handed it to Deya, saying, "You will know after you read it yourself."
"This is?"
"The forbidden item, The Gospel of the Future."
"The Gospel of the Future?"
Mavis mentioned this thing during the World Remembrance.
Deya took the forbidden object curiously and began to look through it.
But when he saw the content, he was shocked.
