Inside the Wizard Tower.
The coquettish woman glared at Søren all the way, but Søren's expression was very calm as he walked all the way up the Wizard Tower. Since Gloria already knew that they were coming, she naturally wouldn't let her mother do anything to him. Moreover, with Søren's current strength, even if he couldn't beat the coquettish woman in front of him, it wouldn't be difficult for him to escape. It could be seen that the relationship between Gloria and her mother was relatively stiff. Perhaps because of the uniqueness of the Northern Witches, they probably didn't have much interaction with each other.
This was a very normal thing.
Many Wizards were focused on magic research, and if they had children, they would be more distant from them.
For Wizards who lived for hundreds of years, their attitude towards their children was very similar to that of the Elves. The Elves were famous for their indifference to family relationships, and most Elven families lived together for a period of time during their childhood. After that, they would basically live separately, and even couples might live apart for a long time. The more powerful they were, the more so because they basically didn't need to raise their children themselves. This was slightly better in the palace and the royal family, at least they could live together for a long time during their childhood.
Although Gloria didn't mention anything, Søren saw the coquettish woman's character and knew that she wouldn't be a good mother.
…
The coquettish woman's face was stiff, as if she couldn't wait to kill Søren in front of her, but she couldn't figure out how much Søren's strength had improved. In such a short time, he was qualified to fight with her. This undoubtedly made her feel a little shocked, and she couldn't help but have a little more fear in her heart.
She suspected that Søren was the Son of God.
Because other than the Son of God, she couldn't think of anyone else who could quickly advance to a grade 3 Rogue in just a month.
And it seemed that he was more dangerous than other Rogues.
The top of the Wizard Tower was quite spacious. When Søren saw Gloria, who was all alone in front of him, his face turned pale. It seemed that Vivian was really in trouble. Søren's gaze landed on Gloria's body. He could see that her face was slightly pale, and her silky long hair had a trace of silver. This change shocked him. "Your hair? What happened? "
Gloria glanced behind him indifferently and said, "Mother, I'm sorry. I think you must be tired too. I've heard some things. You can stay here for a while, but you'd better leave as soon as possible. Because you have violated the banishment punishment of the Witch Council. If Her Excellency the Eye of the North knows, you may be banished forever. "
"Maybe you should take a good rest and think about how to deal with those Druil."
The coquettish woman had been banished, but she had escaped punishment first, and the Witch Council had no right to protect her.
Gloria, as her daughter, could temporarily provide her protection because of family affection, but she couldn't stay here forever. Sooner or later, the Witch Council would find out, and the Druil wouldn't let it go so easily.
The coquettish woman's face was very ugly. She glanced at her daughter with a somewhat complicated expression and murmured, "Okay."
After that, she turned and left the room. When she walked out of the door, her face became gloomy.
In fact.
She was almost at her wit's end.
Because of the taboo experiments in the past, she was on the top three of the Druil's blacklist. The Witch Council spent a lot of effort to temporarily appease the Druil. Originally, she thought that she could quickly crack the secret of the Card of Fate and then become a legendary witch. But in fact, she couldn't even activate the power of the card. Her wizard tower and laboratory had been taken back by the Witch Council, and some important magic devices were also sealed. The Druil was probably waiting for her to walk into the trap. A wizard could only rely on their own spell slots, and after all, they couldn't fight against too many enemies.
Before walking out of the room, she glanced at Søren and seemed to be thinking about something.
When the coquettish woman walked out of the room, Gloria sighed softly and slowly said, "Mother escaped punishment. This made the Witch Council very angry, and some people proposed to imprison her permanently. Even I can't change that. "
She didn't seem to want to talk about this. She turned and looked at Søren and whispered, "I'm sorry. I didn't take good care of Vivian. Some accidents have happened these days, and I can't do anything about it. "
Something that could render a high-grade Northern Witch helpless must have something to do with a legend.
Søren took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "What happened?"
Gloria raised her hand and lifted her long hair. There were strands of silver in it. She looked at Søren with a complicated expression. She could feel his rapid improvement in strength, and slowly said, "Someone sneaked into my wizard tower. It was an assassin above the legendary level. It should be the legendary Hand of Despair. I was no match for him at all, but I didn't expect Vivian to suddenly awaken. She not only saved me, but also killed the legendary assassin. "
"However, she called herself Lillian. The Witch of Fear – Lillian! … "
Søren was shocked.
Then the expression on his face instantly turned ugly, and he said in a deep voice, "Lillian!? The Witch of Fear – Lillian!? "
A series of memories emerged in his mind.
Amber City, before the start of the Time of Troubles, the first Child of Fear awakened. She was the Witch of Fear, the most powerful child of the Dread Lord, and the last host of the resurrection of the Dread Lord. This child of Fear was naturally stronger than the other children of Fear. The Dread Lord did not leave many children, but there were dozens of them. The great divine power was distributed among these children of Fear. The Witch of Fear – Lillian killed most of the children of Fear. In the end, because she angered the Lady of Silvermoon, she was killed by the Lady of Silvermoon in a battle.
History had been changed.
However, when Søren heard this name, especially when it came from Vivian's mouth, his heart sank.
Vivian is Lillian?
No!
Vivian is Vivian, how could it be Lillian!
Lillian's consciousness must be controlled by the Dread Lord. After the Child of Fear awakened, her personality would easily change. It must be the will of the Dread Lord that affected her!
No! I must find Vivian!
If Vivian killed the other Children of Fear, then the divinity in her body would become stronger and stronger, and the will of the Dread Lord would become stronger and stronger. At that time, she would really become the Witch of Fear – Vivian!
Although Søren was very anxious, he did not act rashly because he did not even know where Vivian was now.
He asked about everything in detail, and then fell into deep thought.
Legends were appearing more and more frequently, but the name [Hand of Despair] reminded him of something. He seemed to have fought with this legendary Assassin in the past. The location should be in the Shadow Plane. The opponent was a legendary Rogue who had transformed into a shadowy life form. Killing him was as difficult as dealing with a Lich. Although Søren had joined forces with others to kill him once, he did not completely kill him. This guy's soul was somewhere in the Shadow Plane. If he did not imprison his soul, he would only destroy his body at most.
Søren looked up at Gloria in front of him and said with a hesitant expression, "Can you use Prophecy to determine Vivian's location?"
Gloria pondered for a moment.
She unconsciously raised her hand and stroked her long hair. Her white fingertips twirled a strand of silver hair, and then slowly said, "Yes. But I need to prepare. "
The price to pay for using Prophecy to locate the Children of Fear was not low.
There was a trace of gratitude in Søren's eyes. He gently bowed his head and said slowly, "Anyway, I am very grateful to you. In the future, I will repay you for everything you have done today! "
Gloria shook her head gently. Her expression was a little complicated, and she said faintly, "I also like Vivian very much. I can see my past self in her. "
As if she had seen something, she frowned slightly, looked at Søren's sword, and wondered, "Icingdeath?!"
She knew this curved sword?
Søren nodded gently and replied, "Yes. A weapon obtained in the Frost Kingdom. You know it? "
"Yes." Gloria slowly walked over. She reached out and wanted to touch the curved sword, but she suddenly seemed to feel something. Her fingers trembled, and she retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted. It seemed that she was shivering because of the cold. Gloria's expression was a little incredulous. She murmured, "It's really the same as the legend! You can't touch it unless it chooses its owner! "
"But."
"Why can you use this curved sword? It seems that it can only be used by kind people! "
Is there a faction requirement?
Søren's expression was quite surprised. He raised his hand and pulled out Icingdeath. In his palm, the legendary curved sword emitted a faint white light. He did not seem to feel any abnormalities and could use it freely.
"This is impossible!"
Gloria's expression was very puzzled. She murmured, "You don't seem to be a person who believes in kindness, do you?"
Could it be?
Søren seemed to remember something. His expression was a little incredulous. He quickly opened his data display.
— — Omnipotent Hands [Legendary Skill] (Weakened Soul)!
It was still in a state where it could not be used.
Søren stretched out his finger and stroked the curved sword in his hand. He did not feel the slightest repulsion. If the legendary curved sword in his hand really had a faction requirement, then the only possibility that he could still use it was that his Omnipotent Hands was still in a sealed state, but it had already taken effect.
There were some special legendary equipment in this world.
To use them, one must meet certain requirements. If they could not be met, they might not be able to play a role, and they might even hurt themselves.
Most of the northern witches believed in the principle of neutrality, so Gloria shivered slightly when she touched it.
Because she felt a bone-piercing cold.
If the deviation was too severe, it might even be hurt by the energy on the weapon. For example, creatures of the evil alignment would be hurt by legendary items with a kind requirement. This kind of weapon often had a trace of spirituality, and it must have gone through a long period of time. Maybe it was because its previous owner had killed too many evil beings, or it had been blessed with some special spells. There were many weapons in the Underdark and the Abyss that could only be used by the evil alignment.
If the Omnipotent Hands did not work, then Søren should have been hurt by the cold when he touched it.
This kind of legendary item was not rare. The most iconic one was the weapon of the Paladins. Their legendary weapons must be shrouded in holy power. If too many evil creatures were killed, it might even produce a faction requirement. Some of them would awaken spiritual consciousness (sub-consciousness). When they found an evil target, they would automatically attack the enemy like the level 7 spell 'Sword of Mordenkainen'!
