Chapter 708 – #142_The Witch of Gold Coins (4)
#708
One.
Ars Magna Town rushed through the portal.
Eloah’s steps were very rough as she ran to the academic hall of the Truth and Truth Conference, especially the residence of the Duke of Erelim.
It’s not just the footsteps that are rough.
Because it has such a large site, it is a rare academy.
It was because every witch I encountered saw Elroa and swallowed her breath.
It was difficult for even Eloah herself to figure out how ugly she was going to run.
– Bang bang!
Elroa, who climbed her stairs with her rough body movements, spurred on her door and knocked on her door, holding back her desire to enter.
Even if you try to suppress it, your anger spreads like wildfire.
The road running towards Siwoo.
Her urge to cut down every obstacle holding her back ran like a hungry beast.
“What are you doing?”
The door is open.
Her height is more than half a head taller than Eloa’s.
Silver and white eyes in perfect contrast with her fine black hair.
The appearance of Blanche Erelim, dressed in a loose nightgown, remained calm despite Eloa’s unexpected visit.
As if he had expected that she would come here.
“Sorry for being late. But I have something to share.”
The eyes of two people meeting in the air meet.
Elloa’s eyes filled with bursting passion and Blanche’s calm eyes.
“Come on in.”
Blanche opened the door without saying anything and greeted Eloah.
He then speaks to her toward her bedroom.
“Count Kohab.”
“Yes.”
I heard a rustle through the wall, then Yvonne Cohab’s voice.
He knew well that Duke Erelim and Count Kohab were in a romantic relationship, so it was no surprise that they were together in their bedroom late at night.
“Please prepare black tea.”
“No need. It’s a matter of dispute.”
“Because the conversation will be long.”
“There is nothing to lengthen. What on earth are you thinking that is disturbing me?”
Mana is greatly influenced by emotions.
Around Elroa, the remnants of her magical power, which would be impossible for most witches to even raise their heads properly, were rising like a haze.
“Come this way.”
However, Duke Erelim offered Eloa a seat without shrinking in the slightest.
“If it’s a waste of time, you’ll face my wrath.”
Elroa suppressed her anger and sat down.
He is the Duke of Erelim, who is also called the great sage of Gehenna.
He was not one to take such a step without thinking.
“Say it in short. Permission to leave the country.”
“I can’t.”
-Bang!
Elroa’s fist hit her table like a comb.
The solid wooden table collapses like a cookie, and the scattered pieces of wood float without being scattered by Duke Erelim’s mind.
“I will not charge you separately.”
“Do I look like I’m joking?”
“I said it couldn’t be. He must have come to ask me why. Is not it?”
When Duke Erelim vomited light magic, the wooden table was restored to its state before it was broken.
However, the atmosphere, which had changed sharply like a piece of glass, could not be restored to its original state.
Elroa stares at Blanche without even paying attention to Kohab serving black tea.
“Tipheret, the world has changed. It is still changing.”
“Time for dialogue….”
“I know why you want to go out into the present world.”
After a brief pause, Blanche continued her words.
“Is it because of the male witch? He is your disciple and lover.”
“It is.”
Kohab, standing behind the Duke of Erelim, was surprised, but Eloa maintained his composure.
It’s not new.
Duke Erelim is the president of the Jinmyung Academy and has more followers than anyone else.
As he had many ears to hear and eyes to see, he assumed that he would have that much information.
“First of all, I would like to express my deepest condolences for the current situation. But for that reason, I have no choice but to dissuade you all the more.”
“Don’t be shy and talk.”
“Hexenacht’s growth is explosive. All of a sudden, it has the strength of Qliphoth in its prime and is becoming a formidable threat to Gehenna.”
“I know.”
However, there was also a part that Eloah was overlooking.
“Tipheret, your influence is not insignificant in the reason why Hexsennacht has grown so much.”
Eloa’s eyebrows furrowed.
Since she lost Raffi, she is an Eloah who hates her exploits more than anyone else.
I swear to heaven, I didn’t do anything to help them.
“You are strong. And they are hostile to the public and to the outcasts of Malicious Lands.”
It was only then that Elroa guessed what Erelim’s point was.
At the same time she snorted.
“You mean that the sweeping purge I did sparked their unity?”
“That’s right. Because external enemies lead to unity within. The rougher you play, the faster and harder your enemies will be. More than now.”
Certainly, in terms of cause and effect, Duke Erelim’s words were not wrong.
“You’re laughing. If you’re going to argue from there, I’ll point out that your acknowledgment of Keter’s death in public was a rash mistake.”
“It was just a matter of timing. One day they will have finished interpreting the prophecy.”
“However, it would have been possible to prepare more than now.”
If Duke Erelim had not announced the decipherment of the prophecy at the time of Amelia’s trial, the establishment of Hexenacht would have been delayed.
In addition, location points around the world will be attacked simultaneously,
Eloa probably didn’t have to take a strong stand to calm it down.
But Eloah held back many, many words.
This is not a place to argue right or wrong.
“Yes, even if it was a mistake, I did the right thing. Is it wrong to build a cabal that has betrayed human morals for the sake of magic?”
“…….”
“Are you saying that we had to leave the location point in jeopardy and watch the evil villains rampage in the present world? If so, would Hexsenacht’s unity be worse than it is now? Even a joke has its limits, Duke Erelim.
You, too, must have seen with your own eyes how World War II was fought. What was the result of the victorious powers of World War I, who pursued a policy of appeasement against the Nazis who were preparing for war by stifling the outbreak of war? Please answer me.”
Eloa, who was about to speak eloquently, closed her eyes, irritated by this nonsensical question and answer.
“I don’t want to waste my time with pointless conversation like this. If you don’t give permission to leave, I’ll break through even by exercising my skills.”
“I had no intention of undermining your dedication to the Witch Society.”
“I apologize. You may report to your followers that this was my arbitrary act, so let them go.”
“I can’t.”
Count Kohab, who was watching from behind, stiffened his shoulders.
It was because magic power that contained blatant hostility gushed out like a whirlwind from the small pink body.
“Please understand. Tiphareth.”
Elroa kicked off the seat as if she didn’t want to hear it anymore.
She was not confident that she would not pull out her sword as she continued to sit in this seat.
“If you go to Hexsenacht, there will be a war.”
“…….”
Duke Erelim’s confident tone succeeded in holding Eloa’s feet.
It was something she couldn’t let go of, no matter how angry she was.
“Currently, Hexsenacht is divided into two factions.
I’m the main wave centered on Qliphoth and the moderate wave centered on the newly emerged Solidus upper house. Currently, the two are in sharp conflict, but the moment you set foot in Hexsenacht, the balance will fall.”
“I’m just trying to find a disciple.”
“Whether you succeed or fail, the result will be the same. The former was a preemptive strike by a duke-level person, so there would be a justification, and the latter, the elation of having purged Tiphareth, who had been feared by public enemies for a long time, would bolster the momentum of the main battle.”
Even Eloah was unaware of the detailed internal circumstances.
“I will be honest. I’m in contact with the Witch of the Doubloon, the upper state of Solidus, and I’m negotiating a mutual non-aggression pact.”
“Stop talking nonsense. Do you think they want true peace?
They are evil A true and true evil that must be excluded without room for compromise. If your purpose is to sign a peace treaty with those wicked bastards, then you have more reason to head to Hexsennacht.”
A pact of exploitation and non-aggression?
It was a reckless hair that Eloa, whose resentment was deeply rooted, could never get over.
“You mentioned World War II. You also know why France was afraid of war. In World War I, 1.3 million soldiers and 400,000 civilians died in France. A quarter of men in their 20s died in war.
Humans end up reproducing very quickly even when they die, but not her witches.
Even in an all-out war against Hexenacht, Gehenna will prevail. But is there any need for a war where the loot is only wounds?
The damage would be out of control now without Keter. She must die just because twice as many innocent witches as died in the last war were kept in Gehenna.”
“…….”
“I don’t mean to blindly admit their self-indulgence. We will limit attacks on witches or apprentice witches.”
“…….”
“Compared to 7.7 billion humans, there are only a handful of witches. With just a little bit of tweaking, a smooth compromise will be possible without the infrastructure collapsing.
Elroa stopped her.
It wasn’t that he was persuaded by Erelim’s words, nor was he trying to criticize her remarks.
Witches’ witch supremacy is not a story of a day or two.
“The discipline Keter created was overly idealistic and human-friendly. Her growth in Hexen Nacht proves her failure. It clearly shows what happens when ‘one person’ is left out of the rules that depend on only one person.”
In fact, I know that many orthodox witches think the same way as Duke Erelim.
Eloah was like that too until she lost her raffi.
Most witches are not interested in the turmoil of the present world, just as a tragedy in an unknown island country does not affect their daily life.
Even if the present world is in a position close to destruction, witches have the power to revive themselves.
Duke Erelim is talking.
Do witches need to die and kill each other for the sake of humans? Called.
“Stop, okay.”
“Are you understanding?”
Eloa saw the Duke of Erelim, who maybe she was her own in the past.
And she opens her mouth as if determined.
“Call a meeting and expel me. Let me announce that this incident was my own decision.”
A solution that would prevent war as much as possible, if not a complete solution.
It is Eloah abdicating her dukedom.
“For over a hundred years, you have dedicated yourself to the stability of the witch society. This time, I will move for my greed.”
“…….”
After she said that, she left the mansion.
Erelim did not stop Eloa either.
Someone appeared in front of Eloah, who was preparing to enter the present world immediately.
Like Eloa, a good outfit for rough terrain.
A blonde witch, wearing thick jeans and a windbreaker, dragging a large suitcase.
“I will help too.”
At this point, it was Amelia Marigold, the most reliable ally.
