World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

Chapter 142: Three Questions of the Soul

Views:

The pirates in front of Doug entered the witch's hut one by one and came out one by one.

No one made a sound.

Doug's fifty-meter hearing range was also ineffective, and he could not hear any sound from the witch's hut.

have to say.

There's really something about witches' magic.

About an hour later, it was finally Doug's turn. He winked at Vito and stepped into the witch's hut.

The hut was eerie, lit only by a few candles, and the air was filled with a faint scent of herbs.

"Sir, you need to pay 10 gold coins to enter." A maid with a veil on her face stopped Doug, holding a plate in both hands and speaking without a trace of emotion, "Divination requires 40 gold coins."

Oh shit!

50 gold coins!

Ten pirates an hour would be five hundred gold coins, ten hours of work a day would be five thousand gold coins, and it would take sixteen days to catch up with his bounty.

This is simply a money grab.

No wonder she would take mad revenge on anyone who leaked her divination contents.

If it were him, he would also take revenge!

It's much easier to make money as a witch than as a pirate.

And there is no risk.

You know, he robbed two merchant ships of the Duffy family, but only stole more than a thousand gold coins...

Douger counted out 50 gold coins and put them on the maid's plate.

The maid stepped back and made way.

Doug walked down the corridor.

The corridor is about ten meters long, with a small wall lamp lit every one meter. The flickering light of the wall lamp allows people to vaguely see some strange patterns on the wall.

Exaggerated human faces, six-pointed stars, eight-pointed stars, constellations in the sky, etc., look mysterious and strange, and arouse people's imagination...

Same routine as the temple.

First, spread various legends, and then create an atmosphere through the environment, so that everyone who enters here will unconsciously develop a sense of awe for witches.

The herbs in the air should also have a hypnotic effect!

Doug analyzed the witch's methods and walked all the way to the end of the corridor. He pushed open the small door at the end of the corridor and bent down to go in.

The lights in the room are still dim.

A woman covered in a black robe sat behind a table. In front of her was a crystal ball. In the closet behind her was a full of potions. There were no names on the bottles of potions, only some strange symbols.

The dim light did not affect Doug's vision. He could clearly see the layout of the witch's room and even see the witch's eyes exposed from under her black robe.

Those were a pair of young people's eyes. Although only the eye sockets and eyebrows were exposed, Doug guessed that her age was definitely no more than 25 years old.

Could this guy be a liar

Doug couldn't help but come up with this idea.

Seeing Douger, the witch pointed to the chair in front of her without even looking up, and said, "Sit down."

Doug sits down.

The witch looked up at him, then lowered her head and continued to ask, "Young man, what do you want to divine?"

Her voice was hoarse and old.

They were so secretive that they didn't even dare to let out their original voice.

Even if this mysterious witch has magical powers, her abilities are probably limited!

Before.

Doug came to witness the mysterious power of this world.

But now, he changed his mind: "Witch He Ya, I have heard an old proverb, which is that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. This means that it is better to teach him the skills of fishing than to give him a fish. So, I want to learn the skills of divination from you. After learning divination, I can know anything I want to know."

The witch was stunned. She had never expected Doug to ask such a question.

moment.

She raised her head again and glanced at Doug: "Young man, don't let your imagination run wild. Magic can only be learned by witches. You are a man and will never be able to feel the power of magic. Please ask your questions quickly and don't waste my time..."

"Okay!" Doug smiled with a slightly disappointed look, "Then let the witch tell me where I came from!"

"You don't want to ask about the Scepter of Poseidon?" The witch was stunned again.

"The Scepter of Poseidon means nothing to me. I want to know where I came from!" Doug said with a smile, "Please tell fortunes for me!"

"Okay, young man, I hope you won't regret it." The witch's hands floated in the air above the crystal ball and she began to mutter to herself.

Doug looked at her with a smile, quietly waiting for the answer.

Nan Youlong once said that once the possession is complete, the soul will merge with the body and cannot be detected by any sophisticated means. So this question is the most suitable one to explore what witchcraft is.

A glowing white light came out of the crystal ball.

Doug waited quietly with a smile on his face.

A moment. Snap!

A crisp sound.

The white light on the crystal ball disappeared instantly, and then it was covered with cracks.

The witch groaned, her body shook violently, and she looked at Doug in disbelief: "Who are you?"

wipe!

There is some trick!

Doug smelled a faint smell of blood in his nose!

The witch vomited blood!

Oh shit!

The destructive power of this problem is too great. It can be used as a killer weapon in other worlds in the future.

Doug smiled and shook his head, and said worriedly: "Witch He Ya, this is exactly why I came here. These days, I have been immersed in confusion, and three questions have been puzzling me.

Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going

I have a feeling that if I can understand these three questions, I will understand the ultimate mystery of life, and I will become a god in this world..."

"… "

He Ya was stunned.

At this moment, she suddenly had the urge to pick up the broken crystal ball in front of her and smash it on the head of the guy opposite her.

You're a pirate!

If you don’t think about making money, how can you become a god

"Even Witch He Ya can't tell the divination?" Doug encouraged with a smile on his face, "Why not try a crystal ball? I was planning to come and ask you for divination next month. Who am I?"

He Ya choked and pointed to the door: "Please go out, you are not welcome here."

"But I paid for it." Doug didn't move. "Witch, are you really not going to try again? What if the divination comes out right?"

"I'll return your money, please leave here." The witch took a deep breath and said.

"Come back in a month?" Doug asked.

"No, don't ever come here. You are not welcome here." He Ya said hysterically.

this moment.

She even forgot to conceal her voice, and her muddy voice became much clearer.

"Witch, your voice?" Doug's eyes widened in surprise. He stood up angrily, grabbed He Ya by the collar, and pulled her up from her seat. "You liar, you are not Witch He Ya, who are you?"

The witch struggled desperately: "Let me go, you bastard, I curse you..."

Her voice stopped abruptly.

Because Doug pulled off the veil that covered her face.

Under the veil was a young face that was twisted with anger, with a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.

Sure enough, when she was divining Duger's origins, she was attacked by the magic power.

at this time.

He Ya looked at Doug in astonishment and forgot to speak.

"Everyone knows that He Ya is over a hundred years old. You are indeed a liar. I will drag you out and let everyone know that the witch is a liar who cheats people out of money..." Doug laughed, "Poor those foolish pirates. They were fooled by you for so long."

"Foolish young man, do you know what the price is for humiliating a witch?" The young witch finally came to her senses. She sneered, "You have been cursed by me. Without my antidote, you can't even leave this room. You will bleed to death. Beg for mercy now, maybe I can spare your life."

"The curse you're talking about is the powder that popped out of your fingernails just now?" Doug smiled and shook his head, blinking a few times, and said, "I'm sorry to tell you that I didn't absorb them into my stomach. Besides, do you know how much joy it would bring me to subdue a famous witch?"

Even though the lights were dim, Doug's five senses were still unaffected.

In the first simulation field, his opponents were Tong Shihong and Zong Gui.

The movements of those who practiced martial arts were much faster than a witch who had not exercised for many years. Any small movement of He Ya could not escape Doug's eyes.

The witch's pupils shrank: "My curse is aimed at the soul."

"I don't quite believe that you can curse the soul without even reciting the spell. If you had such a great ability, you wouldn't be hiding in this hut and eating and drinking for free." Doug smiled and shook his head.

"I didn't cheat for food and drink." The witch said angrily, "My divination results are all true."

"Where is Poseidon's scepter?" Doug asked.

“…” The witch remained silent.

"Tell me, otherwise, I will take you out and expose your true identity to everyone." Doug smiled and gently tightened the hand that was pinching her neck. "Of course, it may also be possible to take your corpse and let everyone know the true identity of the witch."

"Golden compass, find the golden compass, and with its guidance, you can find the Scepter of Poseidon." He Ya looked at Doug's calm face and said dejectedly.

"Where is the Golden Compass?" Doug asked.

"If you collect all seven pieces of the destiny chart, you can find the golden compass." He Ya's fate is in Doug's hands, and after such a long time, he still shows no signs of being poisoned. She finally despairs.

"..." Doug was speechless. He looked at He Ya with resentment, "Are you playing nesting dolls with me? Do you tell the same thing to those who come to you for divination?"
