Master Gu Yi was alone in the inner hall, sitting upright and meditating with her eyes closed. There was a cup of brewed tea on the table in front of her, and another cup of brewed tea on the table not far away.
There was an empty chair, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
There was a burst of golden ripples in the middle of the room, and the next second, Richard walked out holding the unconscious Scarlet Witch. The ancient wizard opened his eyelids and motioned to the bed that had been made aside.
Chad gently put the witch on the bed, then casually walked to the empty chair and sat down, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
After slowly putting down the tea cup, he turned his head and asked, "So, Master, you already know everything?"
Master Gu Yi nodded calmly. This woman seemed to have no intention of concealing her intention of paddling. She meant, "Yes, I do know, but I just want to be lazy at home."
Richard doesn't mind either. He knows that Gu Yi has been using magic for hundreds of years, and the high price has long since made her body unable to bear it. In addition, she must also fight against the erosion of the spirit by dark magic. Now every time she takes action
A fight would cost her her life, and it was understandable that she should be thrown into the water.
Ancient One asked: "Where is that book with you?"
Richard knew what she was referring to and immediately took out the "Book of Darkness". It was a thick book with the title written in gold letters on the cover. It looked ordinary on the surface,
But when Richard tried to use light and mental power to find out, he only found that the book did not seem to exist at all.
It cannot be seen by any means other than with the naked eye, not by any clever means.
Of course, Richard didn't open it. Although he felt that he would not go crazy like other people who read this book, it was always right to be cautious. He had just formed a deadly feud with Sithorne.
, and the common characteristic of this kind of demon god who has lived for tens of thousands of years is that he is particularly vengeful. Who knows whether that guy will curse himself through this book?
Ancient One took the big book and explained calmly: "The Book of Darkness may be the most evil magic book in the world, but no one can deny that it is also one of the most powerful magic books. It's a pity.
This book is also very restrictive and has strict requirements on the reader’s talent.”
As she spoke, her eyes turned to the unconscious red-haired girl on the bed.
"Today, she is probably the only one who can understand the knowledge recorded in this book without being affected."
"But from what I've seen, even she was affected by this book." Richard said, "She was in a strange state when I met her. She felt like a puppet manipulated by the book."
"Because Sithorn is trying to use her body as a medium to invade our world, but that should not happen in the first place." Ancient One said, "The culprit of this result is my mistake, my former disciple
——Master Casillas.
I once told all the mages under me not to try to find the "Book of Darkness", but it seems that he didn't listen. Casillas left us because he couldn't agree with some things. It seems that he finally found the "Book of Darkness"
"The Book of Darkness". But he remembered that I had said that this book was dangerous, so he did not read it himself, but found a substitute who could understand the book."
Richard glanced at the sleeping little witch suddenly: "So that person is Scarlet?"
Gudian nodded: "Casillas cast a hypnotic spell on her, hoping to turn her into his puppet and indirectly apply the powerful magic in the "Dark Book of Darkness" through her. But he was self-defeating. His spell inhibited
The evil god took advantage of the suppressed girl's consciousness and controlled her body with the help of the passage of the "Dark God Book", triggering the rampage of chaotic magic.
That’s why what happened to you before happened.”
Now he roughly understands how things happened. After leaving Baron Strucker's base, the Scarlet Witch somehow ran into Casillas, who betrayed the Temple. It may be that the mage who turned to darkness gained from her.
Sensing the natural magic of chaos, he realized that this girl might be the key to controlling chaos magic, so he captured her.
Unfortunately, the power of Chaos Magic was beyond their imagination. The Scarlet Witch holding the Book of Darkness went berserk on the spot and beat the group of dark mages until they didn't even recognize them. In the end, Casillas had to give up treatment and left Wanda alone.
He led his henchmen to flee, even losing the "Book of Darkness" that he had worked so hard to find.
Casillas's plan failed, so he came up with another plan and decided to come back and capture Richard as his pawn. Then... and then nothing more...
Now that we know the crux, the next thing is simple. The reason why Wanda lost control was entirely because of Casillas's fooling around and using hypnosis to suppress her autonomous consciousness, so Sithorne got the chance. Gu's mastermind
After casually dispelling this spell, Sithorne will no longer be able to occupy her body.
Then finally it comes to how to deal with this problem.
"So, there is still a chance that something like this will happen to her in the future, right?" Richard asked, "As long as she is still there, Sithorn will always have the opportunity to use her as an entry point for invasion?"
"That's the truth, but I can't get rid of her." Gu Yi said lightly, "She is not only an entrance, but also the key to the chaos magic of our world. Without her, this powerful magic will be out of control.
, and then affect the entire reality and cause more serious problems."
After a pause, she added: "Furthermore, this child may play a vital role in the future, and she will make a huge contribution to the world. She should not be treated as a problem in public or private matters."
Richard nodded. He just asked. To be honest, he really didn't want Ancient One to kill the Scarlet Witch as a potential threat.
Although he easily won the projection battle with Sithorn this time by relying on his strength, he also discovered that he really knew nothing about magic. And Wanda happened to be one of the most potential mages in the world. If possible
If so, he actually hopes to build good relationships and win over each other in the future. At least he can have a relatively close expert in magic, so as not to be blinded and unable to understand anything the next time he bumps into Dormamsi Thorne or something...
…
"Then do you plan to accept her as an apprentice at Karma Taj?" Richard asked again.
This seems to be a common routine in various novels and comics. A protagonist who is born with powerful evil power becomes a disciple of an upright master, and eventually the good and evil practitioners become famous all over the world...
"It's not impossible." Gu Yi smiled slightly, "But why don't we let the parties involved make their own choices?"
As she spoke, she glanced to the side. Richard followed her gaze and found that the little red-haired witch had woken up at some point, sitting on the bed stupidly, blinking cutely.
