In order to correct Gallo's misunderstanding, the old bishop had to seriously educate him about the Witch Sect.
This sect has a very long history, which can be traced back to the ancient times of the melee between gods. What they believe in is not gods or nature, but the founder of the sect, the demigod Tisna, known as the 'Witch of Destiny'.
No one knows what profession this Witch of Destiny had in the first place. She was already a witch when she became known, so she is also called the 'Original Witch' and 'Original Witch'.
Tisna is mysterious and powerful. It is said that she once obtained a part of the power of 'destiny' and can see through a person's future destiny and pluck the strings of his destiny. It can be said that she is only one step away from becoming a god.
The authority of destiny is also the most mysterious and special one among many authorities. There is no 'God of Destiny' in the world, which means that no god has the authority to control this field.
Therefore, many people believe that the power of destiny is held in their own hands by the Creator, or has simply been destroyed, preventing any being from touching it. It seems that only the Witch of Destiny is lucky enough to glimpse its secrets.
It's a pity that she fell in the melee of gods that year. No one knows who did it, and they don't know the role played by the Witch Sect in that melee. Perhaps like other small sects, they struggled in the aftermath of the melee.
Still gasping for air.
But some people believe that she has not completely fallen, but exists in a special way. She can continue to protect the witches who believe in her and save their fate, so this small sect can survive to this day.
As for today's Witch Sect, it is less like a sect and more like a secret society. They neither have an open church nor can they preach. They are even more low-key than the Miya Sect and more secretive than a cult.
And their members are also some miserable women, fallen women who have fallen into prostitution, poor girls who are in trouble, and so on. After being rescued by other witches, they joined the sect.
Of course, such an organization cannot do any earth-shattering bad things. People who hear about them usually work as mistresses, ruining other people's marriages and happiness, etc. This leads to their bad reputation after being killed, but they cannot reach the level of a cult.
kind of degree.
But the world's impression of witches is limited to beauty, passion, openness, and dissoluteness.
However, the old bishop has his own opinions on this:
"They actually don't want to be mistresses, they just succumb to the so-called 'fate'..."
"After they join the sect, if they pray sincerely, they will receive revelations from the Witch of Destiny, guiding them to find the so-called 'happiness', which means marrying a good family and spending the rest of their lives stably. This is for those women who have a bad life.
For me, it is already the greatest happiness."
"This kind of guidance is generally reliable. Some witches have really found 'happiness' and have a good death. However, this guidance itself does not consider the issue of timeliness, so sometimes if it is found, other people's children will be affected by it.
..."
Lilianluo on the side listened, and then she got into Gallo's arms and kept rubbing her, not knowing what she wanted to express...
Gallo, on the other hand, played with her twin ponytails and asked curiously:
"Didn't you say before that this witch sect is very mysterious and unknown? But why do you seem to know so much about them?"
"Ahem!"
The old bishop coughed twice and defended:
"Of course it's because I'm knowledgeable."
Gallo believed it, because the old bishop never lied.
So he turned to ask again:
"Then why would such a sect assassinate the special envoy? Is their 'happiness' there?"
Even the knowledgeable old bishop couldn't answer this question...
In the end, Gallo asked himself:
"Ah! By the way, is it because of this?"
As he spoke, he took out the special hairpin from his sleeve.
Lilian Luo was immediately attracted by it. She stared at the hairpin eagerly and sighed softly:
"so beautiful..."
As he said that, he looked at Gallo longingly, looking like he wanted him very much.
But Gallo handed the hairpin to the old bishop and comforted him:
"This style is too mature and not suitable for you."
"You are still more suitable for bow ties, cat-ear hairpins, etc. I will take you to the street to buy them when I have time."
Lilianluo was really easy to coax, so she happily rubbed Gallo's chin.
The old bishop took the hairpin and looked at it carefully for a long time, but he couldn't figure out the reason.
"Should we sell it?"
Gallo suggested.
The old bishop shook his head and advised:
"The things that will be kept by the special envoy must have some origins. They are very hot and difficult to deal with..."
"For such a precious item of unknown origin and purpose, why not put it..."
Without him having to finish his words, Gallo understood his intention, quickly walked under the statue of the goddess, put the hairpin up, and prayed devoutly:
"Lord Miya, I have found a beautiful hairpin for you. You will definitely like it, right?"
He was happily waiting for the goddess's response and gift, and he was still thinking about what kind of artifact the goddess would give him this time.
Preferably a Gaia memory, a transformation belt or something...
Gallo longed for this in his heart.
However, he prayed for a long time, but the goddess did not respond. The hairpin was still placed there.
Instead, the small wooden hammer from his sleeve flew out on its own and hit him on the head.
"Ouch ouch!"
It seems that the goddess is not only unhappy, but also a little angry?
Gallo quickly took the hairpin back and returned to the old bishop with a grimace.
As a result, when he got close to the old bishop, the sea urchin necklace around his neck flew up on its own, hitting the old bishop's head.
"ah!!!"
"Lord Miya, calm down and don't dare to do it again!"
The old bishop used magic to stop his bleeding and confessed, still muttering in his heart:
Why am I even being punished?
In short, this time the trash-for-artifacts plan is declared bankrupt...
"Then what should I do with this thing? Should I give it to Daidai?"
Gallo said, and couldn't help but think about the way Misseran wore this hairpin...
Emmmm, it doesn’t seem like a good match? Because her hair is silver, and it’s not very distinguishable from this white hairpin...
So, Lieutenant Undine?
Gallo thought again and shook his head.
Undine always wears a police officer's uniform, looks dashing, wears flowers, and looks neither fish nor fowl.
As for Lilian Luo, as I said before, this style of jewelry is not suitable.
"Amiya?"
Gallo's eyes couldn't help but fall on the little donkey who was still knitting a sweater next to him.
Amiya heard her master calling her and looked up.
"Come, come, I'll give you a flower."
Gallo said and handed the hairpin out.
Amiya carefully twisted the hairpin with two fingers, held it in front of her and looked at it carefully. Her eyes kept flickering, not knowing what she was thinking.
Maybe you're happy?
The old bishop had been watching silently, without saying a word, and did not stop Gallo's seemingly wasteful behavior.
Unsurprisingly, this hairpin should be an important item of the Witch Sect, and it is probably related to the mysterious 'destiny'...
And he doesn’t know much about ‘destiny’. He only knows that it is a very mysterious thing. If you encounter it, the best way to deal with it is to follow your heart and let nature take its course.
This is the method that person taught him back then. Is it somewhat similar to the teachings of the goddess?
I just don’t know if what Gallo is doing is letting nature take its course...
The old bishop didn't think much and turned to ask for another detail:
"Oh, by the way, have you been attacked by a demigod before?"
"Yeah, it's quite powerful. It almost hurt me."
Gallo said very seriously and made a "little bit" distance between his thumb and index finger.
"But it wasn't the demigod himself who launched the attack, so I still held on."
The old bishop thought for a while, then suddenly remembered something, and quickly reminded:
"So do you ever feel like you're being marked?"
Logically speaking, this kind of blow given by a demigod to others is often not so simple. It usually comes with a previous mark, imprint, etc., to facilitate subsequent tracing and settlement of accounts.
Such marks are often very secretive, difficult to detect, and difficult to remove.
And once you are targeted by demigods, it is definitely not a good thing, not to mention, this time it is likely to be two...
After all, this was the first time Gallo faced a demigod-level enemy, so he naturally didn't realize this.
But Lilian Luo said very firmly:
"Galo doesn't smell anything else?"
"I didn't notice any magic marks or anything."
The old bishop breathed a sigh of relief and speculated:
"Did they fail to apply the mark? Or were they negligent?"
But Gallo's reaction was very strange. He actually showed a regretful expression and muttered in a low voice:
"pity..."
Not only did he feel pity, but at the same time, the demigod mage Seile and the demigod warrior Cantia, who were retiring in the imperial city, also felt pity.
"The mark disappeared... No, it failed to be activated successfully."
"But my well-behaved great-grandson died. Why?"
"How can a mere witch resist my 'finger of death'?"
This demigod mage is a thin old man with gray hair and beard. His face is full of confusion and he keeps mumbling in a low voice.
On the side, his close friend Cantia replied:
"Perhaps by relying on the sacrifice of cannon fodder, they deceived the trump cards of the two little guys in advance, and then killed them; maybe those witches found a powerful ally?"
"But the two little guys are not that stupid yet, so I prefer the latter..."
"To be able to withstand our attack, he must be a demigod, otherwise he would never be able to survive under the pressure of his personality..."
"Even demigods can't resist the charm of the witch? This actually makes me a little interested..."
This demigod warrior, who was equally old but strong, said enthusiastically.
