Chapter 3807: City of Desire
"The little witch's NPC information..."
For a moment, Ingres didn't know how to comment.
Just from the introduction, you can imagine a "Original Sin" drama. The jealous magician launched a vigorous "witch hunt" against the family with special blood.
The little witch is the only survivor of this witch hunt.
She fled from the City of Desire to the City of Modernity and thus escaped.
But this does not mean that the witch hunt is over. Once the identity of the little witch is exposed, it is estimated that there will be another bloody storm.
This is why even Karen is unwilling to mention the little witch's real name easily, because only hiding her real name is the only way to protect the little witch.
If other people in Modern City saw such an information panel, there would probably be a carnival.
But when Angel saw it...he felt nothing.
The main reason was that he had no idea about this bloodline. Moreover, even if this bloodline was powerful, it was only in the "copy". He didn't know what was going on in reality, so it was difficult to feel it personally.
However, judging from the NPC information alone, this little witch does hide a deep secret.
Whether it is Cecilia's family or the Dark Corner Witch, they are both worth exploring.
There is also the "City of Desire", which is also a focus and is another new city.
The only pity is that although the little witch has side quests, they are currently shown as unable to be completed.
Although this side quest can be triggered and accepted, it is useless to accept it because it cannot be completed.
However, from the name of the task and the information of the little witch, we can basically guess why it is "unable to be completed".
The name of the mission is "Blood of the Witch", and the blood of Cecilia's family comes from the "Dark Corner Witch". A "Dark Corner" can explain everything.
According to the information Angel retrieved from the Sea of Power, "Dark Corner" is an independent and untriggered copy.
The "Bloodline of the Witch" is likely to require exploring the "Dark Corner", just like the "Joker's Knot" mission also has the option of going to the Dark Corner to look for the mysterious child, but because the Dark Corner has not come into the world, it is shown as impossible to complete.
Angel asked Karen to verify his speculation.
At first, Karen was surprised that Angel knew so much about Cecilia's family, but under the influence of the nightmare, he felt that everything was self-consistent and reasonable.
Karen: "According to rumors, the bloodline of the Little Witch family does indeed originate from the 'Dark Corner Witch', so if you want to trace this bloodline, you may have to go to the Dark Corner."
"But the dark corner is very hidden, and no one knows how to get there..."
Angel nodded. He didn't know how to get to the dark corner in the real Modern City; but in the Dream Crystal Origin, as long as the prerequisites for the dark corner were triggered and the dark corner came, he could go to the dark corner.
But Angel is not quite sure what the triggering conditions are at the moment. He only guesses that it may be related to the former "Noble Knight".
However, these are not the focus of this discussion.
Angel thought for a moment and asked again: "What kind of existence is the Dark Corner Witch?"
Karen pondered for a long time before organizing his words and said, "The Dark Corner Witch is not the unforgivable 'witch' in novels and dramas. It is just a name for those humanoid creatures that come out of the dark corners."
As far as Kallain knew, occasionally humanoid creatures would emerge from dark corners.
They are collectively referred to as "Dark Corner People".
A dark-horned person with a male appearance is called a dark-horned witch, while one with a female appearance is called a dark-horned witch.
As for the nature of the Dark Corner People, Kalain couldn't explain it clearly, but he just said that they looked like humans, but most of the time, underneath the human shell were terrifying and evil unknown monsters.
Of course, we can't say that all of them are monsters, but at least 99% of them are monsters. In this case, even if the Dark Corner people still have some sense, they will be cast into the evil camp.
It is said that the source of Cecilia's family's bloodline is a dark person.
When Kalain was narrating this story about the "Dark Corner Witch", he used a lot of suspicious descriptions, including the nature of the Dark Corner people. All the language was ambiguous because he didn't know the truth either.
However, Ingres can give an answer to this question.
He had looked up information about Dark Corner before.
The information retrieved by the power clearly stated that humans occasionally appeared in dark corners.
Therefore, these so-called Dark Corner people are also human beings. Most of them are humans who accidentally entered the Dark Corner from the outside world and got lost, just like the previous noble knight.
However, this message was followed by another sentence: "Occasionally humans appear in dark corners, but please do not trust them, because there is a high probability that their bodies have been occupied by unknown creatures."
Therefore, the magician's vigilance against the Dark Corner People was correct.
However, the person from the dark corner who gave birth to Cecilia's family is most likely a human. Because if it is really an unknown creature, it will not have the so-called rationality, let alone the concept of family inheritance.
However, whether Cecilia's ancestors were human or not is basically meaningless now. After all, the little witch is the only descendant left.
Moreover, the little witch also stayed away from the city of desire that made Cecilia's family bear the blame.
As long as she didn't think about revenge, she should be able to live well in Modern City. After all, Modern City didn't seem to have the concept of "dark corner people".
Karain: "There is indeed no concept of dark corner people in Modern City, because Modern City is a new city."
The City of Desire is an old city that has existed for thousands of years. Although the frequency of appearance of Dark Corner People is low, if the time scale is extended to a thousand years, there will always be a large number of records.
It is natural to organize these records and then define them as "dark corner people".
However, Modern City was only built in the last few hundred years. Even if the Dark Corner People appeared, it would be difficult to form large-scale research if the managers of Modern City did not systematically capture and record them, and naturally there would be no corresponding records and definitions.
"That's why we chose to come to Modern City, to prevent the little witch from making the same mistake again."
The above is the explanation given by Kalain.
Ingres also agreed to a part of it. Modern City may not have formed large-scale research and definition, but it still cares about the "dark corner people" and has never stopped capturing them.
For example, the mysterious child in the quest "The Clown's Heart" is the Dark Corner Man, isn't he? It was precisely because of the Fashion Guild's capture of him that Sisley's tragedy occurred...
Angel: "So you are indeed not a local force in Modern City?"
Karen nodded: "We are from the City of Desire."
To be precise, some of the Hermits' high-ranking officials came from the City of Desire. And these high-ranking officials numbered no more than two palms.
As for the clear-eyed employees that Angel saw in the headquarters, some of them were locals, and the others were recruited by Kaline on the way to Modern City.
"Can we talk about the City of Desire? I'm very interested in this city." Angel looked at Calen.
When Kalean mentioned the City of Desire before, he was very natural, and it seemed that the knowledge was not "blocked" by the power of the fairyland, which made Angel want to explore.
However, when Angel formally asked for information about the "City of Desire", Kallain, like the others before him, showed obvious lag.
When Ingres saw this, he realized that it would be difficult to get an answer.
As expected, Karen shook his head and said softly, "Since leaving the City of Desire, we have decided to abandon the memories of the past..."
After all these speeches, Karen seemed to believe that this was their true thoughts.
But Angel understood that this was most likely a forced setting given by the power of the fairyland.
This is not the case where the power of the fairyland is deliberately making things difficult for Ingres.
For the power of Wonderland, the copy of Modern City only has the scope of Modern City, while other cities are not "captured" and no copies are formed, only some marginal information.
If you really want to ask for specific information, the power of the fairyland itself does not know it, so naturally it cannot be revealed.
Unless the power of the fairyland happens to capture the dream of the "City of Desire" next time and form a corresponding copy, otherwise, it is difficult to directly convey the information of the City of Desire.
Of course, there is not no solution at all.
If there is a "dream NPC" in this instance, then information can be obtained from him. However, Angel has not yet found the dream NPC in Modern City.
Although Kaline said he had left the past behind, he still answered some "basic" questions.
The City of Desire is a city dominated by desire.
The three major camps in this city are the hedonists, the abstinence faction, and the celibate faction. And Karen and the others, including the little witch, all belong to the abstinence faction.
The terms "hedonism" and "abstinence" are very simple to understand, and they are literal. The "abstinence" group, on the other hand, refers to a group that advocates for moderate control and regulation of desires.
They acknowledge that the existence of desire is human nature, but believe that desire should not be indulged without restraint. Instead, some desires should be selectively satisfied based on one's own circumstances, moral standards and social values.
To put it bluntly, he is just... a normal person.
Therefore, the hermit will be able to integrate into the Modern City without any obstacles and will not have any concerns due to different factions, because according to the camp division of the City of Desire, the people of Modern City are basically abstinence faction.
In addition, Kalean also talked about some of the flagship monsters of the major factions in the City of Desire.
The seductive perfume bottle for the hedonists and the iron virgin for the abstinenceists.
As for the facade monster of the abstinence faction, it is no different from the facade monster of the modern city.
Although Caleen didn't tell much, Angel also had a certain understanding of the City of Desire. Compared with the city of Modern City that pursues balance, the City of Desire seems to pursue more extremes.
After learning about the information about the City of Desire, Angel brought the topic back to the Hermit Order.
Mainly, I want to understand some of the structures of the Hermit Order, its background, its goals... and so on.
five minutes later.
Angel erased Caleon's memory of "himself" and sent him back to the attic outside.
After Kalean left, Angel began to think about what Kalean had said before.
The Hermit Order was indeed newly established, just as Angel thought. The main purpose of establishing the Hermit Order was to protect the little witch.
Why did Cecilia's family suffer so much in the City of Desire? In addition to the "original sin" of bloodline, it was also due to their lack of strength.
If they had powerful allies in the City of Desire, magicians trained by themselves, and a complete organizational structure, they would not have been defeated so easily.
After learning from previous experiences, their first step in arriving in Modern City was to create an organization.
This is the original intention of the Hermit Society, to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
As for the foundation of the Hermits, Kalain's answer was: the talent pool is not as good as that of the big guilds, but the asset reserves are not bad.
The assets here include Modern Coins and various precious materials.
However, Kalain was not sure how many there were, because the person in charge of this was Lady Lira, the real president of the Hermit Order.
Angel also asked for information about Lira.
However, Kalain didn't know much, he just knew that Lila was the little witch's sister. Not her biological sister, but she grew up with the little witch.
He is a powerful magician who possesses creative series, popularity series and manufacturing series.
It was precisely because of Lira's protection that they were able to carve out such a large territory in the deep underground black market and establish the Hermit Order in a stable manner.
It is worth mentioning that Ms. Lila is not in Modern City. According to Kalain, she is recruiting people in the suburbs.
Many people in the Hermit Society were recruited in this way. This is why they have a clarity that city dwellers do not have.
She might be similar to the "Wind Knight" and "Treasure Knight" among the Seven Knights. Although their names are mentioned in the dungeon, they are not in Modern City all year round, so they will not actually appear in the current dungeon.
More like a "setting supplement".
Since it was just a character in the "setting", Ingres didn't care too much about it.
Before Kalion left, Angel asked for one more piece of information, which was the special thing about the little witch.
Whether it's the Star-Shining Butterfly Spirit possessed by the little witch, or the fashionable monster that can be used as a communication repeater, Angel is very curious. How did the little witch do it?
Could it be that she has the blood of the "Dark Witch" and is therefore able to "attract fashion monsters" like Zuniga?
However, the answer given by Karen surprised Angel.
The little witch did have some special talents, but Karen wasn't sure whether these talents came from her bloodline.
Her talent is very crude and direct: the fashion monster pages she obtains from participating in mission challenges have a higher probability of obtaining rare abilities.
In other words, as long as she obtains the complete puzzle by participating in the challenge, the probability of the skills, special abilities and hidden abilities that are finally revealed will increase.
This is why there are so many rare abilities in the little witch's magic book.
