After listening to Sister Bei's story, Shi Xiaolei finally had a more intuitive understanding of the witch's inheritance.

First of all, the witches will select some female orphans of the right age from all over the world and train them together.

The reason for choosing the orphan is because the witch is responsible for maintaining the balance of the Three Realms.

People in high positions must maintain justice, but any selfishness can lead to very serious consequences. In contrast, it is clear that orphans who are still free from concerns are more suitable for this position.

Secondly, it is because the opponents that witches need to face are basically angels or demons. If they are not careful, they may lose their lives. If a girl is chosen from a family with healthy parents...

Although they have learned the ability to control their minds during training, as women, witches still have rich sensibilities hidden deep in their hearts. They really don't want to watch such tragedies as "white-haired people send black-haired people".

After finishing the basic stage of training, the candidate witches will usher in the most crucial moment in their lives - the awakening ceremony.

The specific details of the ceremony will not be repeated one by one. To put it simply, under the protection of the senior witch, enter the demon world equivalent to hell, sign a contract with the powerful demons living there, and then rely on With the power he had just obtained, he completed his first hunt.

It is necessary to accept the magic power transmitted by the contract demon, and then the physique will undergo a dramatic change and evolve into a real witch. In other words, from the moment they entered the demon world until they signed a contract with the demon, the candidate witches were still ordinary human beings who had not ascended.

Why can't all the candidate witches pass the awakening ceremony, and the success rate is very low? This is the reason - just like walking around the nuclear radiation zone without wearing protective clothing, with human physique, it is impossible to adapt to the environment of the demon world. The candidate witches must rely on the shield provided by the moon-shaped pendant if they want to move normally in the demon world. (It's the thing that was hanging on her chest when Sister Bei was transformed into a combat form.)

After activation, it will be bound to the user's soul. The witches who have passed the awakening ceremony can use the magic power to drive this pendant, while the candidate witches who have not signed the contract can only burn their own souls to use this thing.

It consumes every moment. The longer the time, the more damage accumulated. In the end, the quantitative change leads to the qualitative change, which brings irreversible damage to the user's soul.

Some people can persist for seven or eight hours, while others can only persist for three or four hours. Without the magic power provided by the contract demons as 'fuel', the alternate witches alone... Among the records left by the witch clan, they persisted the most. The one who lasted a long time only lasted twelve hours.

Without signing a contract with a demon, you cannot use the moon-shaped pendant for a long time. Conversely, if the shield provided by the moon-shaped pendant cannot last for too long, it will be difficult for the alternate witches to find a suitable demon to sign a contract... After all, there are so many demons. Large, powerful lord-level demons like Madam Butterfly can't be encountered everywhere.

The process is very difficult and depends on luck.

Each person can only bind one moon-shaped pendant, that is to say, if the first attempt is unsuccessful, there will be no chance for a second challenge.

One thing to say, it's really not easy for the candidate witches to pass the test of the awakening ceremony, and the witches' 'success rate' is really low.

"... Candidate witches who have not passed the awakening ceremony will be assigned to the lower level to help manage the property of our witch family in the world as ordinary people." There is a lot to say, and Sister Bei is a little thirsty, just right 2B When she brought a cup of tea, she stopped to talk, picked up the cup and took a sip.

"Do you witch clan still have their own property in the world?"

In the background setting of "Angel Hunter", there is no mention of this aspect at all. As a passionate game fan, Shi Xiaolei is really a little curious.

"Yes, and there are quite a few." Beyonita said slightly with interest: "Otherwise, where will our food and drink expenses come from? Monasteries, farms, ranches, business guilds, all walks of life have our people. And As far as I know, there are some people who married princes and nobles and became ladies because of their status when managing the estate."

"...Why does it sound like a fairy tale?"

"Haha." Hearing Shi Xiaolei's comment, Beyonita suddenly laughed: "It's a fairy tale. You know what? "Cinderella" in Grimm's fairy tale is actually not fictional."

"Eh?"

"The girl named Cinderella in the story used to train with me. We not only know each other, but are also good friends." Lazy leaning on the sofa, he put a pair of long snow-white legs on the coffee table On, by changing her posture, Bayonetta made a small space for Conna, who came with a carton of milk.

She hugged the fragrant little girl and scratched her stomach, which made Kona burst into laughter.

Turning her gaze back to Shi Xiaolei's face, Beyonita continued: "I participated in the awakening ceremony with her at first, and I was sad for several days because she failed to pass. Later, she left the 'Witch's House'. , went to a farm to help..."

One day, when going to deliver goods to the castle, Cinderella met a young earl who was accidentally separated from his squire while out hunting~lightnovelpub.net~ Because the earl was injured and passed out on the side of the road, Xander Rila kindly helped him bandage the wound and brought it back to the farm.

When the young earl woke up and learned that he was rescued by Cinderella, he immediately had a good impression of Cinderella in his heart.

After all, she is a person who has received witch training. Cinderella's temperament is completely different from the noble girls that the young earl usually comes into contact with. In this way, with the contact during the recovery period, the young earl really fell in love with Cinderella, and proposed to her.

It was still the Middle Ages. As a noble young earl, he wants to marry a commoner girl without a noble background? Things are not that easy.

So, in order to achieve his wish, the young earl planned to arrange a special drama to block the opposition of his retainers.

That's right, the glass slipper and the ball were all made up by the young earl himself.

As for the magic-related elements that appear in fairy tales...

At that time, there happened to be a witch who was on vacation and went to the farm where Cinderella was located to catch up with her. I heard that the good sisters who fought together had a sweetheart and wanted to spend the rest of their lives with them, so this witch not only extended a helping hand without hesitation, but also called friends and found several other witches to help Xiande together. Rila helped.

The vicious stepmother and elder sister are played by witches. The mouse turns into a horse, and the pumpkin turns into a carriage, which is also a trick created by the witches. Combined with the script designed by the young earl... the prototype story of the "Cinderella" fairy tale was born.
