House Witch

 Lucia's face became even more rosy.

　　Listening to the fortune teller's answer, the eldest vampire witch only felt her scalp numb, and she was even so nervous that her vision was a little dim.

It was only then that she was sure that this strange fortune teller was really capable.

 After all, the other party just said directly that the three routes of their clan were all in vain.

The self-rescue methods of the thirteen clans of the three blood clans are more important secrets than her identity. In other words, her own birth is the product of those three paths. This is something that the witch of the blood clan will never allow to be leaked. .

 But now this fortune teller has revealed it straight away, which is really scary.

 This represents two possibilities.

 One is that the other party has arranged a mole within the Thirteen Blood Clan, and the mole has extremely high authority and can access these top-secret matters.

Secondly, the other party's divination and prophecy skills have exceeded her imagination. They can break through the various methods arranged by the Thirteenth Blood Clan to disrupt the secrets of heaven and directly forcibly see through the truth.

Lucia naturally didn't know what the possibility was for this fortune teller who seemed to be younger than her. She only knew that no matter what the other person's possibility was, this matter was beyond her ability.

Moreover, if the other party is really that kind of prophecy boss, then her answer just now will be very important.

"Three roads are unavailable, only the daughter of the Blood Moon can save the thirteen clans of the blood clan"

 She murmured in her heart.

“Then my lord, who is the daughter of the blood moon and when will she descend?”

Seeing that the Thirteen Blood Clan actually had hope of being rescued, Lucia no longer cared about danger and fear, and she subconsciously asked.

Well, even if you are not sure whether the other party is talking nonsense, what if, what if the other party is not talking nonsense?

 In short, this news is extremely important to the thirteen clans of the Vampire Clan.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, we said that one person can only ask one question. Now that you have both asked, it’s time to leave. Do I still have to receive the next guest?”

However, even though the vampire witch's face was full of expectations, the owner of the divination house had put a cheerful smile on her face again. She waved her hand, and the next moment, Lucia noticed a strong repulsive force coming from her.

 “No, as long as you can”

Lucia panicked and tried to gather her strength to resist again, but this time it was not to break free, but to hold on.

 But unfortunately, just as her previous efforts to break away were ineffective, her current resistance is equally weak.

As soon as she closed and opened her eyes, the Blood Witch found herself outside the tent, and beside her, the Balrog Witch was shaking her head and regaining consciousness.

 “Sir Captain.”

Seeing that the chance was gone, Lucia had no choice but to calm down. She reached out to help the Enma captain who was trying to sit up.

only

　　“Damn **** bastards, die to me.”

An arm burning with scorching flames stretched directly towards the neck of the vampire witch. Lucia was caught off guard and was caught struggling. Moreover, the hand was so strong that it seemed that it really wanted to strangle her to death. .

Fortunately, it is actually impossible for witches to suffocate to death from being stuck in the neck. After all, they do not need to breathe. Although the neck is still important because of the existence of the spine, it is not as fragile as ordinary people.

The vampire witch was really uncomfortable and painful from being pinched, but she just calmly focused her magic power on her neck to resist the attack, while looking at the somewhat out-of-control captain with confusion.

She could tell that the captain, who was considered "good-tempered" among the Balrog Witches, was furious at this moment, and the source of this anger must have been related to the prediction result given to the captain by the fortune teller just now.

 After all, she remembered that the captain's question was the cause of her mothers' deaths.

Hmm, and judging from the captain’s dissatisfaction with the vampire witch from the beginning, and the current out-of-control anger that wants to kill her, the truth behind it is probably related to the thirteen clans of the vampire clan.

 Lucia speculated calmly in her heart.

However, even the inferred truth seems to be useless. After all, she has just used her trump card in the divination room, and she cannot use the power of the fallen angel bloodline continuously in a short period of time. After all, she is only a human being. Just inferior semi-finished products.

So under normal circumstances, she is just a senior witch, and she is unable to resist the captain of the titled witch.

If she doesn't think of a way, she will probably be killed by the out-of-control captain.

"Ahem. Captain, I can help you investigate your mothers' affairs. I still have some status in the clan and can speak to them."

The vampire witch coughed and spat out blood as she spoke with difficulty.

Hmm, now the only way to sting this angry and insane out-of-control Balrog is to pour salt on the wound.

Sure enough, when she heard about the mothers, Ifrit's pupils, which originally only looked at the vampire witch, shrank, then she actually slowly woke up and gradually relaxed her strength in her hands.

 The unlucky Lucia finally escaped.

 “Are you really willing to help me?”

The skinny Balrog Witch's eyes, still burning with the fire of revenge, looked at the Vampire Witch who was gasping for breath subconsciously, with a look of vigilance and struggle on her face.

 In fact, Ifrit had not completely lost consciousness just now. While checking the memories sent into her mind by the fortune teller lady, she could still vaguely sense the situation outside.

Hence, she also saw that when this vampire subordinate tried to use his trump card to escape, he actually wanted to take her with him.

 Although the trump card seemed to have failed in the end, in any case, she did not abandon her at that juncture, but even tried to pull her up. This was quite interesting and fully worthy of the scrawled agreement between the two of them to help each other.

It is precisely because of this that Ifrit finally struggled to wake up from the loss of control and spared this noble-born vampire witch.

She doesn’t want to owe anyone anything.

 Otherwise, just her identity as a vampire witch would be enough for her to break the opponent's neck and then crush her bones into ashes.

 As for investigation or something?

 Haha, who would believe the criticism of the vampire grandfathers?

However, the eldest lady of the vampire witch in front of her has also proved with her actions that she is indeed a person of her word, and with her status, if she is willing to help, she can indeed find the culprit faster, and then Complete your revenge.

 “Of course, I swear by the honor of the Vandro family.”

 Lucia swore again without hesitation. She also wants to know more details about the captain's question now. This will become an important reference for her to judge whether the strange fortune teller's words are really reliable.

 “That’s okay.”

 Hearing the envoy's crisp and clear swearing, Ifrit was silent for a moment, and then spoke.

“I am a war orphan. I grew up in an orphanage. My mothers were veterans of the Night’s Watch who participated in the Great Crusade a hundred years ago.”

The Balrog Witch slowly told her life experience.

 In fact, there’s not much to tell, it’s quite a cliche story.

This is the story of her two mothers, who were veterans of the Night's Watch, responded to the call of the vampire witch and left their newborn children to go to the battlefield, and then never returned.

This situation is so common that it can even be said that the City of Night is actually full of such war orphans.

After all, people always die in wars. This mighty witch expedition was filled with the blood and flesh of countless witches. Although witches are very powerful compared to mortals, they are the most powerful among the golden natural disaster races. Weak ones, even if they don't count the double kings, it would be difficult for them to fight against some powerful silver types.

Although the Hades system gives witches a chance to be resurrected, the high resurrection fee also makes it impossible to popularize it on a large scale.

 Hence, most ordinary witches just risk their lives to fight for their future when they go to the battlefield.

 This is a big gamble, and in gambling, you will lose and win, and you may even lose more and win less.

 Obviously, Ifrit’s mothers are the unlucky ones who lost the bet.

only

"I originally thought that the mothers just died in normal battles. After all, even though both of them are powerful Balrog witches, there is never anything truly invincible on the battlefield. They must have gotten into the fight, and then accidentally overturned. But when I was packing up my mothers’ belongings later, I discovered a problem.”

"It was clearly written in the mothers' diaries that they would never accept the high-risk post-severance mission, but then they actually died in the post-severance mission. The blood clan pension officer also told me that the mothers took the initiative to do this mission. Asking for acceptance, haha”

The Balrog Witch's voice became a little deeper.

 And Lucia was silent again.

 In fact, by this point she already understood the general truth of the matter. After all, this kind of thing was not uncommon in the Night's Watch over the years.

 To put it bluntly, the captain’s two mothers were sacrificed.

Everyone knows that the battlefield is dangerous, but the degree of danger can actually be subdivided into three, six or nine levels.

For example, the risk of the vanguard officer fighting on the front line and the fire-headed army in the kitchen behind are definitely not at the same level, so the distribution of who goes to the vanguard officer and who goes to the fire-headed army will naturally be explained.

Of course, given the nature of the witch war race, no one would object to becoming a unit such as a vanguard officer. After all, the higher the risk, the greater the opportunity. Although this type of unit is easy to die suddenly, it is also really easy to make meritorious deeds. of.

Normally speaking, given the personalities of the two Balrog witches, they would definitely do whatever tasks were difficult or dangerous.

But these were two Balrog witch mothers who had just given birth to a baby, so it was naturally not a normal situation. They came to the battlefield just to give their children some milk powder money, and forget about dangerous missions and so on.

Although it is quite outrageous to come to the battlefield to earn money for milk powder, it is normal in Night City. After all, demon witches in this era have a bad reputation, and other jobs are harder to find. Most demon witches rely on going to the battlefield to work as mercenaries. Come to live a good life.

Rather than being a war group of blood witches, the Night Watchmen Chapter is actually more suitable for the demon witch mercenaries organized by the blood witches. The thirteen clans of the blood race play more of an intermediary role in this.

Well, it’s said to be a war, but it’s actually also a business. The other demon witches have actually always been workers in the hands of the vampire witches.

And the two Balrog witches are hot commodities, so they can't be sold for a good price.

What? You said you don’t want to take on difficult and dangerous tasks?

 Sorry, there are so many military orders on the battlefield, this is really not up to you.

 In short, there is a lot of room for maneuver.

Although Lucia has always been within the family in the past and rarely took care of things, in the short time she has been in power, she has actually heard about many such situations. From this, we can see that this vampire abuses her power and bullies How serious is the situation of other demon witches?

And the **** determines the head. As a vampire witch, Lucia naturally cannot really offend her compatriots for those strangers and demons.

 It’s not that it’s impossible, it’s just that it’s not worth it and it’s not necessary.

But now looking at the angry eyes of the captain in front of her, the eldest vampire witch suddenly felt a little scared.

She realized that the problem of the Thirteen Clan of the Blood Clan may not only be a bloodline issue, but also that problems in other places were urgent.

"Over the years, I have joined the Night Watch to find out the truth about the mission of the mothers. However, I have not found anything useful over the years. However, the fortune teller just now directly told the truth about the mission. Got me."

　　"Ulrica Watts, do you know the name Lucia?"

Ifrit’s deep voice spoke again, and she spit out a name.

In response to this, the eldest vampire witch was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

“Well, one of the three marquises of the Watts family, the title Lady Blood Snake, is a very money-grubbing old guy.”

 Lucia thought for a while, and then told some information she knew.

 “That’s it, you’re still a Marquis, haha.”

Hearing the envoy's answer, the Balrog Witch also smiled, and she smiled brightly.

"Okay, let's talk about the rest later. Let's find a way to get out of this circus first. After all, I finally found out who my enemy is. I don't want to forget everything when I go out later. "

Ifrit calmed down and said this.

Although the anger in her heart at this moment made her want to rush to the Thirteen Blood Clan and burn that **** snake lady to death, she was a patient Balrog Witch after all, so she let her heart burn for a while. .

 “Then Captain, where should we go next?”

Lucia only then remembered that this circus could still cause amnesia, but the fortune teller she had just heard from a fortune teller about the future of the vampires could not be forgotten.

At the moment, she had no choice but to look at the captain, waiting for her choice.

 “Go to the most dangerous magic house.”

The Balrog Witch gritted her teeth and said this.

 Dorothy is entertaining guests

 Sigh, my mind is dizzy and I feel like I’m useless.
