Chapter 162: The Saintess of Darkness, The Ageless Witch
Chapter 162: The Saintess of Darkness, The Ageless Witch
"Do you know what time it is now?"
Will, with dark circles under his eyes, holding a brown and yellow teddy bear, appeared disdainfully in Hastar's dream.
"Emperor empire Roselle once said: 'The plan for a year lies in spring, and the plan for a day lies in the morning.'
It's already past four in the morning. Those diligent children have already gotten up to read and study. You should learn from them."
"…"
Will Auceptin fell silent for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "Did empire Rosellereally say that?"
"Of course. Are you looking down on Emperor Roselle, the greatest human mentor in history?"
"…"
Will Auceptin glanced at Hasturand, without dwelling on the question, hummed, "So, what brings you here?"
"Tonight, while I was pursuing someone who should be a Rank 7 witch, I encountered a powerful witch who is not the White Saintess Katerina."
"Is it strange? If there is a White Saintess, then naturally, there is a Black Saintess."
"…"
That made sense, and Hasturfound himself unable to refute.
"The Witch Sect is not simple. There are three saintesses, each named after a color: red, white, and black. All three are Rank 3 Ageless Witches.
In addition, there are two Rank 2 Disaster Witches within the sect, and their overall strength is no less than any of the Seven Gods Churches."
"Is this the same setup as the other orthodox churches?"
"More or less."
Hasturnow had a clearer understanding of the high-end combat power of the Seven Gods Churches.
"So, the one who stopped me tonight was the Black Saintess?"
"It should be her, especially since you have a special relationship with her daughter."
"Is Mrs. Germanny her daughter?"
"Yes, including the little witch you were chasing tonight."
"…"
After pondering for a long time, Hasturcuriously asked, "Why do witches always like to bear offspring?"
"Heh, they can't stand loneliness.
Especially these three Ageless Witches, who always like to fall in love with young people, and even start enjoying physical pleasures as soon as they see eye to eye.
Once pregnant, they never choose to kill the new life but silently give birth and raise the child alone.
In this regard, they are much stronger than most people."
Will Auceptin said, smiling at Hastar, "Have you ever considered having a child with a witch?"
"…No, and I won't!"
"Tsk, don't reject it so outright. Without experiencing that pleasure firsthand, you're wasting your good looks."
A vein popped on Hastar's forehead, not wanting to continue this topic with Will Auceptin .
"If that Black Saintess comes looking for trouble in the near future, you'll have to cover for me."
"A hundred ice creams, and they must be the most expensive ones from the dessert shop on the corner of 4th Street in Queens!"
"Eating so much, aren't you afraid of getting a stomachache?"
"I'm going to the hospital for surgery in a few days, and I won't be able to eat ice cream for a while."
"Good luck."
"I've always been lucky."
With that, Will Auceptin left Hastar's dream, hugging the teddy bear.
With Will Auceptin 's promise, Hasturfelt much more at ease.
The Black Saintess was just a Rank 3 Ageless Witch, but Will Auceptin was a Rank 1 Mercury Serpent, and he controlled fate.
If he really wanted to, there were plenty of ways to deal with the Black Saintess.
What surprised him tonight was that Mrs. Germanny turned out to be the daughter of an Ageless Witch, yet she was clearly not an extraordinary person.
How interesting.
Speaking of which, the witch who came to assassinate him tonight was strange.
She initially didn't seem to want to kill him, which is why she spoke to him, but for some reason, she changed her mind later.
Moreover, her actions were not cautious at all. Knowing that he was not simple, she still dared to approach him for an assassination, and he ended up stabbing her straight through. It was really foolish.
And for her, as the daughter of an Ageless Witch, to only be Rank 7… that was just too poor.
After muttering a few complaints, Hasturstopped thinking about these things and looked at the time; it was nearly five o'clock.
He thought about it, decided to take a bath first, and then go back to sleep.
…
It was after ten in the morning when Hasturfinally got out of bed. He glanced at the wind chime hanging by the window and felt a bit more at peace.
Even though he was already living in Queens, people still liked to knock on his window for a visit in the middle of the night.
It was no different from living in the West District.
"No, I must acquire some property near the Church of the Holy Wind and the Church of Saint Samuel, to have more places to stay in the future."
After thinking for a while, Hasturgot out of bed, went to the washroom to clean up, and then picked up Aisala, who had been meowing non-stop by his side.
It was very clingy, especially when waking up in the morning.
Like this morning, he got up a bit late, and Aisala had meowed several times outside the door, eventually lying down at the door, waiting for him to wake up.
Because of what happened last night, Hasturchose to stay at home all day to avoid encountering the Black Saintess as soon as he stepped out.
Although she couldn't see through his spiritual body's true identity last night, she must have guessed it was related to him.
It was better to be cautious.
In the afternoon, a carriage arrived at the door.
The owner of the carriage did not come down but sent someone to deliver a letter.
Hasturrecognized the familiar envelope and knew it was a letter from Mrs. Germanny.
He went to the study and opened the letter.
"Baron HasturCampbell, please forgive me for writing to you again.
I have heard about what happened last night, and I am relieved that you did not encounter any mishaps, or else I would be condemned by the flames for the rest of my life.
I cannot explain to you why all this happened, but I can assure you that the same thing will not happen again, I swear on my life.
After we parted at Lord Greck's banquet, I resolved not to disturb your peaceful life. But since our chance encounter on the street last time, the passionate feelings I had been suppressing erupted again and could no longer be pushed back down.
I know I should not hope for anything to happen, but there is always a tiny bit of hope in my heart, perhaps there is a little bit of possibility?
Miss Audrey is an outstanding woman, standing with you, she always makes people want to bless you from the bottom of their hearts…"
The rest of the content was mostly Germanny's monologue, self-pitying and without any valuable information.
Hasturwas not receiving a letter from Mrs. Germanny for the first time and had a certain understanding of her writing style.
In the letters, Mrs. Germanny always portrayed herself as both shy and bold, self-deprecating and self-pitying.
It's a bit complicated, probably related to her life experiences, having an Ageless Witch as a mother, it's normal for her worldview to be skewed.
"…"
Hasturquickly shook his head, realizing he was gradually empathizing with Mrs. Germanny! This was not a good sign; he needed to be vigilant and reflective! Suppressing some messy thoughts, Hasturtook a piece of paper, ready to write a reply to Mrs. Germanny.
Regardless of what had happened in the past, Germanny's letter was filled with concern for him, and she even swore on her life. No matter what, he should write a reply.
Whether out of gratitude or noble etiquette.
The letter he wrote was very short, summarizing only three sentences.
He liked a peaceful life and did not want to be disturbed.
He glossed over last night's incident and thanked her for her kindness.
He rejected any affection and asked her not to delude herself.
After writing the letter, he put it in an envelope and had Neil, the butler, send it to Mrs. Germanny.
After doing all this, Hasturtook another blank piece of paper and began to write the continuation of the puppet adventure story he had told last time:
Puppet Adventure Story (Part II) "He learned to make life-like puppets after his father's death, which should have been a happy event, but he was not happy at all. His gaze fell on his relatives, and a deep sorrow welled up in his heart.
One day, his other relatives would die just like his father, his mother, his elder brother, his sister, and in the end, only he would be left.
He felt that he should seek more advanced puppet-making techniques, allowing living people to live forever in the form of puppets, rather than making a puppet that only had an appearance.
About a month later, he made all the preparations and began a long journey, opening a new chapter in the puppet adventure story…"
After writing, Hasturchecked if there were any corrections needed, then thoughtfully counted the words, making sure it was about the same length as the last story he told. He left a suspenseful sentence as the ending of this chapter.
As for the rest of the content, of course, he planned to write Puppet Adventure Story (Part III), depending on the situation. If he could continue writing, he would write up to Puppet Adventure Story (Part 100).
As for Sharon's mood while waiting for the update, Hasturdidn't want to guess

Blowing the copper whistle, he summoned Sharon's messenger and handed over the letter.
Although he could have had Marichi pass it on when he went to the Brave Bar at night, after the last incident, he had serious doubts about Marichi's reliability.
