Chapter 56 From then on, she did not believe in God. "Vefiya" died, and Vif...

The north wind blew up the snowflakes in the air. Hefa stood on the top of the church, ignoring the cold, and watched leisurely as the church and royal family searched for him.

What an idiot! You think you can catch him with just this little stuff?

A small magic circle suddenly appeared beside him. It was his magic power, and it was also the magic power he lent to Vifiya.

Before leaving that day, in order to show his sincerity and dispel Vifiya's doubts, he lent her the only magic storage gem left in the world. The magic inside could be used to contact him.

He opened the letter sent by the magic circle. The content of the letter was very simple. He raised his fingertips, and the letter and he disappeared from this place.

The warmth in the room spread over Hefa's body as soon as he stepped out. He was about to take off his hood, but found that there was more than one person inside. He opened his eyes and his gaze fell on the person with silver eyes and green hair beside her. His eyes changed from surprise to amusement. The future great magician recognized by the magic world actually stood on her side. No wonder she said she had no shortage of knives.

However, this scene was still a bit strange to Hefa. In his impression, Isidore did not seem like someone who would take the initiative to make friends.

His gaze shifted slightly to another person, a man with brown hair and dark eyes, just an ordinary person.

He took off his hood, nodded to Isidore, and sat down opposite Vifiya with a chill.

Without waiting for Weifeiya to speak, he curled his lips and smiled: "Let's get straight to the point."

Arnold glanced at the face of the man who was now wanted nationwide. His expression did not change. He even felt that he could accept it. After Vifia found him and told him what she was going to do, he actually felt that such a life seemed quite interesting. However, as long as it was her order, he would just carry it out, without any reason.

Being valued by his master is also a recognition of him.

Vifiya did not introduce them to each other. It was enough to make sure that they were all her own people.

She began, "To make it short, my maid, Neve, is their experimental subject. I'm almost certain their experiment will begin soon, expected to be in about seven days. Also, I have a suspect: a male, around 25 years old, with gray hair and dark eyes. He has burn marks on his left cheek and is currently with Marquis Kesley in the capital."

As she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Isidore.

Isidore nodded in understanding, then continued, "Neve is under the Sergenko curse." His gaze met Hefa's in amazement. "The Sergenko curse is different from ordinary curses. It's primarily inspired by the resentful thoughts of hundreds of people who suffered inhuman torture before their deaths. Furthermore, these hundreds of people must be mutilated. The full power of the Sergenko curse is extremely demanding on the magician, and the opposing magician shouldn't underestimate it."

Hefa was lost in thought. He didn't doubt the truth of Isidore's words, but, "The formula for the Sergenko curse was completely lost five hundred years ago."

So, how did a formula that had disappeared appear now, five hundred years later? Or, how did he get it? And what does this have to do with resurrection?

"The Sergenko curse will be hidden in the body in the early stage. Once it is activated, it will either devour the person's mental strength bit by bit, suck the person's flesh and blood, and the resentment will rage in the body, or it will directly kill the person silently, and even the corpse will not be left behind." Hefa glanced at Vifia and added that such a vicious curse really could not be linked to resurrection from the dead.

Vifiya looked back at Hefa and said sternly, "Neve will leave Lachigo in the next few days. I know you've been secretly spying on the Marquis. I'll ask you to keep an eye on Neve."

Hefa did not refuse her arrangement. Of all the people present, he was indeed the most suitable.

"I will give you the spell of invisibility magic." Isidore said. After the invisibility robe, he has completed the spell that the magician can use alone. Giving it to Hefa now can also increase the success rate of Vifia's plan.

Vifia pushed a box towards him and said, "Please give this to the Marquise as soon as possible."

Hefa lowered his eyes upon hearing this and accepted her box. She was now in a dominant position in this plan. After all, no one knew the Marquis's Mansion better than her. Since their interests were aligned, there was no need for him to refute her.

She heard Isidore speaking to her in a gentle voice: "Next, Kaharun and I will find a way to break the Sergenco curse. Don't worry."

"Well, thank you for your help."

Their conversation piqued Hefa's curiosity. What methods had Vifiya used to convince Isidore to treat her this way? The Isidore he had met was almost emotionless. This "favored child of God" possessed flaws, just like his ancestor, the first great magician. Great power came at a price. His ancestor's was health, but what was his?

His vague scrutiny happened to fall on Vifia, and Arnold, who was standing beside her, glanced at him expressionlessly as a warning.

He laughed secretly, it was really interesting, the person next to her, the only ordinary person, his perception was sharper than anyone else.

Suddenly, he remembered a word he had heard from Osa's mother, and he subconsciously denied it. Humans would not become such an existence, and humans could not bear its weight.

"One more thing." Vifiya looked at Hefa with a firm gaze, "If possible, please do your best to protect her safety."

Hefa looked at her thoughtful eyes and spoke after a while: "One question. After this is over, I want you to answer a question for me."

After all, it was a personal request, and the conditions he proposed were within Vifia's expectations. However, she had too many secrets, and this was exactly what he wanted. She had already suspected that Hefa knew something, and Knife's safety was also very important. After considering the power of the various parties, Vifia agreed: "Okay."

If he dared to do anything that would go against her future plans, she would not hesitate to attack him.

"I will ask Osha for her opinion and ask her to join this plan." Vifiya smiled harmlessly.

Her red eyes reflected his face clearly, and Hefa couldn't help but snort. This was a warning to him. He was so young, but he was so cunning.

He stood up and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Vifiya nodded.

Hefa said to Isidore in the light of the magic circle: "Give my regards to Salis."

Soon, he disappeared into the lounge.

Vifiya turned to Arnold and said, "We will leave Lachigo soon."

Arnold understood and nodded: "I understand, I will be ready."

——

In the middle of the night, the cold wind howled, carrying snowflakes that hit the locked windows.

Vifiya huddled in the quilt, her eyes having adjusted to the darkness. In her mind, she kept reasoning about possible accidents that might occur in the plan, what she needed to pay attention to, and how to achieve all the desired contents of the plan with the least loss.

No plan is perfect, and you never know what unexpected events might arise. Vifiya knows this very well, and all she can do is try her best to make up for it when an accident occurs.

She blinked and smiled gently. If the plan went well, [Vifiya]'s wish would come true, Neve would arrive safely in Selim Territory, and she could proceed with the next plan.

She did not forget the promise the academy made to her before the hunting club. She did not take it seriously at that time, but she did not expect that it would become part of the plan in the end.

Soon, we will all be free, [Vefiya].

She closed her eyes, fatigue came over her, and she fell into a deep sleep. She seemed to have had a long dream.

"[Vefiya], are you there?" Vefiya asked nervously. Time passed slowly in silence, and no one answered. Her voice trembled, with a faint cry, "[Vefiya]? Stop it, this is not fun at all. Don't tease me like this. I... I won't be fooled by you again."

There was a deathly silence, with only her calling: "[Vefiya]? [Vefiya]?..."

She clenched her hands, and for no reason, she felt a little panicked.

Hot tears fell, her eyes were blank. How could this happen? She was clearly there the last time she died and was reborn.

She was teasing her again, just like in the first life.

She cheered up and, just like in her previous life, left the Marquis of Kesley's Mansion and went to Lachigo.

At first, she kept calling out, calling out [Vefiya]'s name, but no one responded. Later, she didn't dare to call out.

It took her a whole month to finally realize that [Vifiya] was really gone.

It shouldn't be like this. Even if she disappears, she should be the one to disappear. Why [Vefiya]? Why her?

She was overwhelmed by great panic and loneliness.

When she was most desperate, when [Vefiya]'s soul disappeared, she thought of the God of this world. She prayed before the statue all night long, and she begged this God to save her best friends in this world and the people under His protection.

The statue has a compassionate face, as if it can tolerate everything and heal the wounds of mankind.

"Save her! I beg you! Save her, she hasn't done anything wrong! It's me! It's me!"

"My existence is a mistake! I shouldn't be here!"

"I beg you! Save her! Save her!"

Silence, silence broken only by the sound of her breathing.

God did not respond.

"Don't you exist? Don't you really exist? So many people worship you! Why don't you open your eyes and see?"

…

"Why don't you look at her? Please."

God still did not respond.

Despair flooded her bones, she lost all her strength and fell to the cold floor.

In the silent space, the light breathing sound seemed to be proof that she was still alive.

It shouldn't be like this. She shouldn't have died quietly like this. It shouldn't be like this.

[Vefiya] is dead, and Vifiya is still alive. No one will remember her death, they will only think that she is alive, but it is Vifiya who is alive, not [Vefiya].

The statue's eyes are not open; He seems to be looking at everyone equally, and He is as loving as ever.

From then on, she no longer believed in God.
