Chapter 79 -78 The God in the Sky_1

The old witch whispered to Ivita, “The area where this wizard is sealed is too close to our territory, your Highness, we can’t let him out.”

“Moreover, there are bound to be some anomalies around the place this wizard is sealed.”

“Your Highness, it’s like excavating ancient relics, there will be many treasures awaiting us.”

“Come to think of it, every wizard has their own areas of magical expertise, and some knowledge is passed on only between master and apprentice, or father and son. Therefore, if we apprehend a wizard, we can extract a great deal of useful information from him.”

Ivita nodded in agreement.

This was also his plan.

Protecting the territory is the responsibility of a lord, and to take every advantage, ‘plucking feathers from a flying goose and leaving a bare coat after butchering a beast,’ had always been his principle of doing things.

He had no choice, he was poor.

After all, he was no longer an individual; he was a lord managing a vast territory.

Every civilian was waiting for him to bring them money.

He was just too poor.

Lolita hesitated, “I’ll lead you there?”

In her heart, the wizard sealed in the rocks was her last hope. She was not oblivious to the possibility of being deceived; she just did not want to acknowledge it.

Seeing that Lolita was still hesitating, the old witch, frustrated, grabbed her arm and dragged her outside the house.

“What do you think you’re doing?”

“Do you think the only sacrifice you’re making is committing some evil deeds? The price you’re paying is your soul and your son’s soul, because at the end of this blood sacrifice ritual, the wizard will consume the souls of the victims he has eaten and convert them into his undead servants.”

“That wizard wanted you to burn a new suit at your son’s grave simply because he recognized your son’s status as a soldier while he was alive.”

“He wants to summon the vile body, to resurrect the dead, and to acquire a medium-ranked undead who was a soldier in life.”

A new hope sparked in Lolita’s eyes. “Resurrect the dead?”

“Yes, he can resurrect, but the magic will inevitably take something from your son,” the old witch said, “turning him into an indefatigable puppet that can be trampled and utilized at will.”

“And you.”

“Look at yourself in the mirror… ah, your house doesn’t even have a mirror.”

“Look at the dark circles under your eyes, look at your corpse-like skin, that wizard sealed in the rocks is slowly consuming you.”

The Hearthstone grand witch narrowed her eyes, “You’ve surely killed quite a few people by now.”

“You’ve tricked all the neighbors in the vicinity to go to the crevice, right?”

“You’re turning yourself into that wizard’s undead servant.”

Ivita watched the still sobbing woman and gently shook his head. If it wasn’t for the impending extinction of the Thousand-Year Fire, if it wasn’t for the conflict between city capitalists and feudal nobles,

She would have been a good person.

However, in this extremely harsh societal environment, Lolita had transformed into a ‘demon’.

The fault wasn’t hers, it was this societal environment’s.

Because a good person can reflect, can correct their actions, under the prerequisite that they can still control the situation, that they still have a choice.

But the tragedy of Lolita’s family was that from beginning to end, they had no room for choice.

Ivita said to her, “Madam Lolita, this is not a question of whether your son can be resurrected.”

“This is about a soul war.”

“You may indeed have had no choices in the past, but you do now—you can tell us where to find the wizard.”

“Madam Lolita, let the souls of the deceased return to the embrace of the God of All Things, as a loved one, please stop interfering.”

“Do not create obstacles for your son on his path back to the embrace of the God of All Things.”

At Ivita’s gentle words, Lolita’s eyebrows wavered, and she began to cry, her shoulders shaking.

“I’m sorry, all I can say is I’m sorry.”

“I also felt what I was doing was wrong, but… I’m sorry!”

“I’m sorry to everyone. I’ll take you there…”

She stood up from the ground, dusting the tears off her face, and then begun leading Ivita and the rest towards the direction of the valley and the wasteland.

About twenty kilometers in, even the trees began to thin out and the ground was covered with broken rocks.

Ivita frowned, surprisingly, there was a desert in the mountains.

The Hearthstone grand witch stepped on these rocks and suddenly bent down to pick up a piece from the ground. “This is… it’s a kind of limestone, and there are traces of man-made cuts.”

“This isn’t a wasteland, there once stood a grand structure here.”

“Your Highness, look over there, that’s the foundation of a building.”

“Could it be, this is a relic of the Ancient Civilization?”

Ivita looked to her confused, while Lolita didn’t understand what they were talking about at all.

The old woman was a little excited. “After the unexplained collapse of the Ancient Civilization, many deserted cities were left behind by the Ancient Civilization. These cities were dismantled by the barbarian tribe [the people of the later generations], they separated these exquisite stone blocks to build their ornate houses.”

“Many magnificent landmarks were thus defaced.”

“As time passed, this era has slipped away over the course of a thousand years.”

“And even the buildings constructed by the ensuing barbarian tribes have turned into antiques. This structure must have been destroyed by ordinary people in the same manner.”

The old witch began to chant a spell, waving her arm, shards of stone floated in the air revealing the original appearance of the foundation hidden beneath.

Below the stones, astonishingly, was a broken memorial stone. The upper half of the memorial stone was gone, likely removed by the people before, turning it into a rubble of stones used to construct buildings.

At the base of the stela, only a small line of text remained.

Neither Lolita nor Ivita recognized the text.

The old witch did, her expression was one of excitement, she stuttered as she read, “Your highness, these are the words of the ancient civilization, these are ancient texts!”

“The meaning here is…”

The Old Witch’s face changed, she voiced out word by word, “Those who pursue the Law will be condemned by heaven—this is the grand public bathhouse built by the tyrant Shaw, we want to ensure his brutality and folly are remembered by the world. Even after his death, he will by no means become a god in heaven, instead he will be a Demon God on earth.”

The Old Witch began to doubt, “Why would those who collect the Laws suffer heavenly condemnation?”

“Nonsense.”

“This might have been left here by Shaw’s political enemies in the Ancient Civilization Period.”

“On the contrary, the notion of becoming a god after death is quite interesting. Could rulers of the ancient civilization become gods in heaven after they die?”

Ivita remained silent.

If the rulers of the ancient civilization really transform into gods in heaven or Demon Gods on earth after their demise, what a fantastical civilization would this be?

A civilization equals a country, and the ruler of the country equates to a god?

The Old Witch searched around again to see if there were any other texts from the ancient civilization.

She used Throwing Magic to move the rubble, exposing the foundation that was hidden beneath the debris. After a while she only found one pillar base inscribed with Ancient Scripts.

The Old Witch recited, “On the day Nikola conquered the Ambros Basin, the Pantheon welcomed the Thousand-Year Fire, this is our three hundred and first independent Law. The senators collectively believe that after Nikola’s death, he will become a God in heaven, an immortal Constant Star, forever worshipped by the people on earth.”

Ivita was almost speechless.

What does it mean to become a Constant Star?

Is he supposed to fly into the sky and transform into the sun?

If this is not just a figure of speech but actually true, then how terrifying ancient civilization must be.

Ivita shook his head, “I’m unsure if the descriptions in these texts are just figures of speech.”

“Perhaps they are exaggerations.”

“But here, wasn’t this Nikola also collecting Laws? Why wasn’t he cursed by his own subjects?”

“Moreover, it seems as if the Thousand-Year Fire was once conquered by the ancient civilization.”

The Old Witch’s face turned extremely ugly. “Damn these mortals, they’ve all dismantled these precious relics.”

“They don’t know the value of these things. How dare they!”

“They’ve actually torn down the relics of the ancient civilization to build their own damn houses!!!”

Ivita told her, “Ordinary people don’t care about the distant past, they only care about the present. That’s not a mentality that deserves to be decried.”

“After all, it’s those common people who struggle for their existence that make up our human civilization.”

The Old Witch glanced at Ivita in surprise.

For a moment, she felt as if this Demon God wasn’t just a Demon God, but a human ruler, an excellent king.

Illusion.

It must be an illusion.

The Old Witch immediately shook her head, denying this feeling.

Witch and Demon God, colluding in wrongdoing, they delight in evil and despise abiding by rules.

It’s impossible for them to be suitable as rulers.

Having found no new relics, the Old Witch and Ivita, accompanied by Lolita, passed through these piles of rubble and arrived at the rock crevice where Lolita heard the voice.

Lolita pointed at the rock crevice covered with weeds and said, “Here it is, this is where I heard his voice.”

Ivita saw, next to this pile of crevices, apart from the rubble, there were also a few bones.

A deep and unfathomable crevice appeared amidst the pile of rubble.

They just didn’t know, when the wizard below was sealed here? Was it during the time of the Ancient Civilization?

Before they could even get close, a raspy voice suddenly emerged from the crevice, “You’ve actually brought two people at once, not bad at all, you’re getting highly efficient.”

“After I eat these two people, your son re-emerging from the grave will draw closer.”

“Hahaha….”

“Quickly, get them over here!”

Lolita didn’t move.

The Wizard in the crevice sensed something was off, “Huh? Lolita, don’t tell me you informed the Lord of the nearby land?”

“I told you, even official Knights aren’t my match. I…”

Ivita gave the Old Witch a look, indicating her to hold off.

He wanted to examine the power level of the other party first, so as not to cause a blunder or accident.

Ivita spoke, “Well, actually we heard that you are a Wizard who can make wishes come true. Hence we asked Lolita to bring us here, we also want to assist you, Wizard.”

The voice from beneath the stone crevice was silent for a while, then the extravagant laughter continued, “So that’s why, ahahahaha…..”

“It appears my fame has spread far and wide, in just a few days I have new worshipers.”

“My Mana really is incredibly strong.”

Ivita frowned, ‘The other party is noticeably relieved, combined with his previous words, it seems he was really scared of actual Knights coming.’

‘Is his power level only equivalent to that of a wizard apprentice?’

The voice from beneath the rock, said, “Well, voice your wishes. Once I leave this place and acquire the item, I will make all your wishes come true.”

The Old Witch burst out saying, “To the Wizard below, I am a person unloved by others, I want someone to love me.”

“I want true love!”

The voice from the Wizard below was silent for a moment, then he extravagantly said, “Okay, it’s not difficult.”

The Old Witch laughed sarcastically, whispering to Ivita, “This fellow loves boasting too much, he’s too arrogant.”

Ivita smiled.

The Old Witch continued to speak to the crevice, “But one isn’t enough, I want a hundred men to genuinely love me, can you do that?”

“…” The voice from below the rock crevice fell dumbfoundedly silent.
