Kingdom of Witchcraft, Mifala?

After hearing the blue-haired old man's words, Li Ang's expression couldn't help but be slightly startled, and he couldn't help but think of the words he saw on the 【Sign of the Past】 of the Aquarius Director.

Kingdom of Witchcraft Mifala, Great Witch Ritual, Old King's Life Exhausted, Black Cat Dissected, Witch Court Without Successor.

Recalling the black cat whose belly was dissected, hanging on a high tower, weeping silently in the ruins, Li Ang, who felt uncomfortable in his heart, couldn't help but frown.

"That Great Witch King of Mifala is a single lineage, right? And her only daughter hasn't been found yet, right?"

"Yes."

Director Aquarius nodded, and then explained to Li Ang's gaze:

"Great Witch King Catherine has indeed been missing for a long time, but Great Witch King is still alive, so you can ask her for help."

That Great Witch King who is already over 130 years old?

After listening to Director Aquarius's suggestion, Li Ang's brows wrinkled even tighter.

"Isn't she almost... sorry, this might not sound good, but isn't her lifespan almost exhausted? But my child hasn't even been born yet, so the time probably doesn't match, right?"

"The difference in time is an insurmountable obstacle for others, but for the lineage of Basinger, it's actually not much of a problem. She has the ability to cross time and contact your future children in advance."

Facing Li Ang's questioning, Director Aquarius smiled indifferently, and then said peacefully about the secret behind it.

"The Great Witch King of the Kingdom of Witchcraft is actually one of the Ten Descendants of the Great Court, and the most important one, the one who manages the 【Heart】 of the Great Court. The Witch who lived in the center of the Great Court in the past is the Witch who now lives in the Kingdom of Witchcraft.

For the female members of her lineage, time is not something untouchable. They can cross time and contact as easily as we go downstairs to chat with neighbors. Therefore, for a long time in the past, they were regarded as leaders and protectors by the other nine descendants.

Even the creation of the Watchtower Palace that protects humans might be the inspiration that the Taurus and Aquarius directors of that generation had after contacting the Witch King at that time. The magical ability of the Watchtower Palace to peep into the future might be a reference and imitation of their talent."

"..."

There is actually such a thing... speaking of which, although you were a bit clumsy when you took action, letting people backstab you, you are as stupid as Edward of the Scorpio Branch, but you know a lot of things!

Listening to the various secrets popping out of the blue-haired old man's mouth, while Li Ang was secretly clicking his tongue, he couldn't help but curiously ask:

"Director Balto, how do you know so many things? I feel that Lord Taurus and the others might not know as clearly as you!"

"Hehe, I've lived a long time!"

After looking at Li Ang, whose face showed admiration, the blue-haired old man, who felt quite comfortable, smiled twice and humbly said:

"Actually, it's not as powerful as you said. I just moved around a lot when I was young. I visited the thirteen kingdoms basically once or twice, so I have seen more things than others."

Thirteen kingdoms...

Hearing this number, which has now become eleven... ten point five, Li Ang's brows couldn't help but wrinkle, thinking of his own director's bright red hair, and also thinking of the fourth prophecy of the Aquarius Director.

Kingdom of Gemini Caraven, Light Returning to Day, Deep Night Exhausted, West Falling East Rising, Enemy People Slaughtered.

The content of this prophecy has been basically determined. According to the bureau, the Light Church, which was destroyed by the director and composed of light-worshippers in the Kingdom of East Caraven, seems to have returned under the support of the Slaughter King Society.

And these returning light-worshippers took off their original white cloth robes, put on rusty iron masks and blood-colored clothes, and are waging war against the Deep Church of the Kingdom of West Caraven, seemingly preparing to seize the territory and citizens of West Caraven and restore the Kingdom of East Caraven that once existed.

"Director Balto."

The blue-haired old man has a close relationship with that Great Witch King and probably followed her to see a lot of past secrets. Li Ang took the initiative to ask:

"I joined the Cleaning Bureau for too short a time, and many things haven't had time to understand, so can you tell me about the situation of the East and West Caraven Kingdoms?"

"Hehe, it's not a trouble. Since the Lord Director wants to hear it, I naturally know everything."

Seeming to be aroused by Li Ang's question, the blue-haired old man reached out and stroked his beard, and said with nostalgia:

"The Kingdom of East Caraven and the Kingdom of West Caraven were collectively known as the Kingdom of Gemini in the past. The ancestors of the two royal families were a pair of brothers. The royal family of the Kingdom of East Caraven was the blood descendant of 【Bravery】, while the royal family of the Kingdom of West Caraven was the blood descendant of 【Justice】.

Oh right, have you heard that proverb? The one about justice and courage?"

The proverb about justice and courage?

When he heard this, Li Ang couldn't help but frown and recall, and then asked back uncertainly:

"I seem to have seen it in my brother's textbook... Director Balto, is the proverb you mentioned 'Justice and courage are a pair of brothers'?"

"Right, that's the one!"

The blue-haired old man nodded slightly, and then said with some melancholy:

"Justice and courage are a pair of brothers. True courage must stem from the persistence of justice, and only with the courage to practice beliefs can justice not become empty talk."

"This proverb, which has been circulating for nearly a thousand years, actually refers to the two ancestors of the East and West Caraven Kingdoms. They are called the Kingdom of Gemini, besides the brother relationship in blood, there is also the reason for this proverb.

It's just that now, although this proverb is still circulating, the Kingdom of East Caraven, which represents courage, has disappeared before this proverb, leaving only some scattered blood descendants... Oh right, Lord Director, your ancestors should have the bloodline of the Kingdom of East Caraven."

Hmm? How did this get to me? Why would I have the bloodline of the Kingdom of East Caraven?

"Because of your hair and eyes."

After looking at Li Ang's dark eyes, the blue-haired old man explained with a smile:

"The Kingdom of East and West Caraven, besides being called the Kingdom of Gemini, are also called the 【Kingdom of Black Hair】 and the 【Kingdom of Snow Hair】 because of the characteristics of their citizens.

The citizens of the Kingdom of West Caraven are generally snow-haired and white-eyed, so they hate strong light and like darkness, and the state religion is the Deep Church composed of prayer-darkers. The Kingdom of East Caraven, with black hair and black eyes, loves light, and the state religion is the Light Church composed of light-worshippers. Hair color is their biggest characteristic.

Although besides the two major kingdoms, other kingdoms also have black-haired and white-haired humans, their hair and eye colors are generally slightly mixed and not 'pure' enough. Only people like you who have bloodline relations with the Kingdom of East Caraven will have this kind of black hair and black eyes without any impurities."

Is that so? But I remember my hair isn't very black?

After lifting the empty plate on the table and looking at the reflection inside, Li Ang was surprised to find that the blue-haired old man was right, his hair and eyes were indeed pure black.

He didn't feel it before, but after becoming a cleaner, his hair, which was withered and yellow due to malnutrition, had slowly turned black, and the turbidity of fatigue in his eyes had gradually faded, no longer full of bloodshot eyes, like two bright black gems.

"I was right, wasn't I?"

Looking at Li Ang, whose eyes showed surprise, Director Aquarius smiled, and then seemed to have discovered something, staring at his pupils carefully.

"Wu... speaking of which, your eyebrows and facial features, I always feel a bit familiar. When the royal family of East Caraven was still there, I had contact with them. I feel you are quite like the royal family of the Kingdom of East Caraven.

If I didn't know your background in advance and knew that you had never been to the Kingdom of East Caraven, I would likely think you were a side branch of the East Caraven royal family, or even a royal blood descendant carrying 【Bravery】 authority fragments... Wu... sorry!"

The blue-haired old man's chest bulged suddenly. He hurriedly reached into his arms and grabbed something, then apologized and got up to leave, walking quickly out of the restaurant.

And Li Ang, who remained in his seat, looked at himself reflected in the dinner plate and fell into a daze. He knew his own business. The blue-haired old man thought he was from the Kingdom of Travel Bird, but Li Ang knew in his heart that he was not Anna's biological brother, but an "imposter" brought over by Anna with the help of an abnormal object.
