  Chapter 1048 Chapter One Thousand and Forty Six · "The witch raised her wand."

  【Era of Witches·328 years】

　　【The witch's heart is full of kindness and compassion. 】

  【She uses magic power to bring happiness to people. 】

  【She brings hope to people with her wisdom. 】

Blackberry thrived under her care, and he joined the witch's academy. 】

　　【The magicians treated the child kindly, and Blackberry, who had lost his family, felt the warmth and love. 】

　　【Love and magic create a harbor. Hope and belonging build home. 】

　　【Until that day, iron hooves step into the holy white heaven——】

 …

On the vast plain, the magician spotted the young man at a glance.

 The young man sat among the filthy corpses. There were abandoned knives, guns, and swords all around, and the last expression of each corpse was one of horror and pain.

 The boy's eyes had a heart-stopping calmness, and he looked sad when he looked at the magician.

　　【Blackberry: Angel, you are back. But I failed to protect your students. 】

 The magician knew that this was not the boy's fault.

 The church attacked this pure land in the name of "slaying witches". But in this massive attack, no one was the winner. No matter it was the magicians or the church knights, they all died. No one was left.

The wind blew the flags planted on the ground, the tassels on people's swords, and the cross necklace on the young man's neck. The boy looked at the magician from a distance.

"The knights killed the magicians. I wanted the knights to die, so the knights died." There was a distant calm in Blackberry's eyes: "I am like...a monster."

 “You are not a monster.”

"But did I do the right thing? I killed the knights, but in fact they were just brainwashed civilians." Blackberry said.

 The magician looked at him from a distance and said:

“—Then let the source of the brainwashing stop.”

“—So that ‘commoners’ will no longer become ‘knights’.”

 …

Su Mingan knows that BlackBerry is not simple. Blackberry is gifted, a genius like no other. The most important thing is that blackberries can intensify black fog disease in people, causing them to die instantly. If left unchecked, BlackBerry will become the scourge of our time.

So, Su Mingan sent Blackberry to the royal family. Blackberry had strength, IQ, and emotional intelligence. As long as there is proper education, Blackberry can rely on this ability to stop witches and kill buddhas, rectify the entire era from top to bottom, and end witch hunting.

“Supreme Magician, is this the child you adopted?” The old king came to greet him tremblingly and respectfully treated Su Ming’an as his honored guest. Although the church despises magicians, the royal family respects magicians.

"His name is Blackberry, and he is mine..." Su Ming'an considered for a moment: "...ally."

Blackberry stared at him.

 “I am your dependent.” Blackberry already regarded Su Mingan as a god-like existence.

Su Mingan did not correct it. He asked the royal family to let BlackBerry have access to government affairs.

"Bottom-up changes require a lot of blood and sacrifices, and countless people will die in the war. Top-down reforms may be successful as long as the upper class is strong enough. I will try to change this situation. , end the witch hunt and make the world a new one," Blackberry said.

 “This is not an easy task.” Su Mingan said.

Blackberry's eyes are bright and sharp, like a blade that has just been unsheathed. He put one hand on his chest and bowed to Su Ming'an: "Angel. This is the test you gave me... I will not back down."

 …

 【Era of Witches·329 years】

　　　Blackberry was thirteen years old. 】

The witch seems to be very busy, and she rarely appears around Blackberry. 】

　　【Blackberry regards her as a god-like existence. After all, the Supreme Magician has wisdom, knowledge, and power, and is the light in his life. 】

  【With the favor of the royal family, Blackberry quickly became the lord of a city. 】

He has the support of the Supreme Magician and the ability to intensify the Black Mist Disease. Even the church does not dare to take action against him for the time being. 】

　　【On this day, the witch returned to this world, and a thirty-five-degree wind blew in her ears. 】

 …

Compared to Alice, Su Mingan is very fond of blackberries and only comes to see blackberries in her free time. "The Witch's Narrative" only requires witnessing the ending of Blackberry, so Su Mingan did not provide much guidance, but just observed the context of this era, like an overlooker from a God's perspective.

 Time in the game flows very quickly. Su Mingan looked at the military map in this world for a while, and when he returned to the game, a long time had passed.

"Have you heard? The new city lord is a child." The bread sellers whispered to each other.

“Oh my gosh, I heard he doesn’t even have a family, he’s an orphan.”

“But the Supreme Magician said that Blackberry is actually a descendant of the Kenite family, but he has been hiding his name.”

"The Kenite family? Is that the ancient family that once led the empire to conquer the north and south? Legend has it that the empire was invincible during that period, and the Kenite family was also regarded as the most orthodox empire successor family, but they were later exterminated... It turns out that the city lord comes from this family!"

“The Lord of the City is preaching in the square—everyone, go and watch!” The kid selling newspapers ran barefoot across the street.

In the square, the thirteen-year-old city lord stood in the center. The torch illuminated the solemn and gorgeous Kenite family pattern on his body. The gold and purple that symbolized luxury covered his thin body. He wore the crown of the lord on his head. , holding the scepter in his hand, he was obviously not as tall as the bonfire beside him, but he already had the power of a superior.

 Civilians gathered around the square, holding bread, vegetables, and dried flowers in their arms. Their eyes focused on the young city lord's back - that was the legendary supreme magician. The nightingale rested on her shoulder, the starlight lingered around her, her eyes were like the cold moonlight, and even the shadows under the firelight were like light elves.

With the slight movement of her fingers, bread and milk fell from the sky. People immediately lost their doubts and were sincerely convinced by the newly appointed young city lord.

 “This is magic, it’s so powerful…”

 “What if she is a witch?”

“With the royal endorsement, there will be no problem. As long as we can fill our bellies, I don’t care…”

Blackberry is still speaking, his words are sincere and full of gorgeous rhetoric. Born as a viscount, his cultural level is not low, and his speeches can also be written clearly and clearly. But people will only pay attention to bread and milk. As long as he can draw a pie, people will certainly be willing to follow him.

The Kenite family is just a name, but no matter what, no one can trace his bloodline.   …

 【Era of Witches·330 years】

　　　Blackberry Kenite was fourteen years old. 】

　　【Blackberry often thinks of that angel. 】

  【The angel left for a long time this time, and Blackberry was never able to see her. Maybe there are many things in heaven that are holding her back. 】

　　【More cities came into his hands. Anyone who underestimated his age paid a heavy price. The enemies never expected that their opponent would be an extremely young boy. He possesses wisdom and composure that belies his age, like a battle-hardened general. 】

【However, as the territory expands, BlackBerry feels the pressure. 】

People's greed can never be satisfied. Even a piece of bread a day will hardly satisfy them - they will wonder if their bread is missing a piece of lettuce or a small mouthful of salad dressing. The missing food may have turned into brocade and been worn on the city lord's body. 】

"Just because he is sitting upright in a chair, he is completely different from them. They will turn their gazes into thousands of knives, cutting and examining his every move."]

“No matter how much he pays or how much pressure he bears, the people will always wonder whether the jewelry on his head or neck came from which piece of bread.”]

The person sitting on the chair cannot turn back. He can only survive in his current posture. If he were to return to the people, the people would no longer be able to tolerate him. If he were to ignore it and be extremely arrogant, it would go against his original intention from top to bottom. 】

　　　 [So he held his head high and his chest high, high in the clouds. 】

  【"He couldn't say anything."】

 …

 The magician has come to this era again, and the blackberries have grown taller. His eyes became more peaceful and deep, as black as a pair of abyss that would lead people to fall. The noble robes that were originally a bit loose now fit his body perfectly, and even the cane rested quietly under his palm.

 The magician asked him what problem he had. He pursed his lips, shook his head with a smile and said: "No problem, please don't worry about it." Angel. 】

The magician said: [If you have any problems, you can ask them and they can be satisfied with magic. If there is a lack of bread, bread will appear; if there is a lack of swords, swords will appear. If faith is lacking, new idols are built. 】

The young city lord smiled and said: "There is no shortage of anything." It must be difficult for you to live in heaven, and it must be difficult for you to come down to earth to see me. I should give you a banquet. 】

 The magician participated in the city lord's banquet, and there were plenty of delicacies including big fish and meat.

 During the banquet, an attendant suddenly drew his sword and assassinated the city lord.

　　【Attendant: -You have gone against your original intention! Damn Kenite! 】

 The attendant's swordsmanship is superb. Under normal circumstances, he might be able to successfully assassinate him. Unfortunately, the Supreme Magician was nearby, and a single spell immobilized the attendant.

  【City Lord: Why assassinate me? 】

　　　【 Attendant: Your massive taxation has destroyed my family! Your militaristic tactics killed my friend! The promises you made when you were young are just castles in the air! How many people have died for your territory, how many people cannot eat the big fish and meat on this table, but you are extremely luxurious and flattering to the Supreme Magic Envoy. You are clearly collaborating and sucking up the wealth of the people! 】

BlackBerry was confused.

 Large taxes are imposed to lay out infrastructure so that people can drink pure water and no longer have corpses floating in the sewers.

The poor soldiers were to establish a line of defense to prevent the Cavaliers from slaughtering civilians, and there was no longer another Fukke Nuste's family.

The Young People's Promise is to stabilize people's hearts and allow farmers to farm with peace of mind, so that everyone can have bread to eat.

 The purpose of providing big fish and meat is to allow the diplomatic envoys to give a satisfactory assessment, recognize the city's production level, and establish an alliance as soon as possible.

 He spent day and night forgetting to eat and sleep, absorbing knowledge and studying the ways of governing the country, but he could not satisfy everyone.

The people didn't care about this. They only saw that the city lord could plentiful fish and meat while they were starving. They only saw that the Supreme Magic Envoy could instantly produce hundreds of loaves of bread, but was only willing to give each of them one. Obviously if they spend more magic, they can get the second bread and the third bread, right?

Blackberry realized that perhaps he was too close to the people, causing him to lose his dignity as a city lord. Blindly satisfying their wishes makes them greedy.

So, BlackBerry began to take drastic measures.

 …

  【Era of Witches·333 years】

　　【January month, Blackberry Kenite is king. 】

　　　The angel is not with him. 】

 …

The seventeen-year-old His Majesty Kenite stood on the city wall, overlooking the already huge city—no, it should be said, the country.

 He has been crowned king and begins to guide the people. Let them not blindly follow the authority of the Church.

 He has never forgotten his original intention - to end the cruel rule of the church and end witch hunting.

There are thousands of people living on this land, including businessmen, farmers, workers, artists, and nobles. In the past, he could listen to their cries and meet their differentiated needs. When people asked for bread, he gave them bread. When people asked for carriages, he built horse farms. But now, the land was so vast that he could no longer see clearly as he climbed higher and higher.

He has long since lost sight of the kind-hearted old woman, the children on the roadside, and the common people carrying apples that he met when he was twelve years old. These people lived by the winding rivers, and there were thousands of similar rivers across the territory. How could he be aware of them again?

 “Angel…” he whispered to himself.

 There is no one around him. His former companions and subordinates all disappeared because of his suspicion. He has adopted thunderous methods for many years. He is used to solving problems with straightforward means, and his ability to intensify the black fog has become his most advantageous weapon.

 In this way, the kingdom will be stable.

No one will question him anymore because of the feast of big fish and meat. This is the dignity that the leader of a country needs to maintain.

 As the territory expanded steadily, Kainit suddenly felt lonely.

 In his spare time, he began to learn various techniques, such as painting, sculpture, and music. I longed to be praised by the angel the next time I saw him.

 He built a huge airship, and he wanted to take the airship to the sky and find angels.

 …

  【Witch Age 334】

　　【Blackberry·Kenite has grown up, and the construction of the airship has been completed. 】

  【The angel still didn't come. 】

 …
