Chapter 279 I Still Became a Witch

Eternal life is something that countless people in this world dream of.

Now King Seleus has passed a ceremony and has eternal life.

After the ceremony, he felt that his feelings had changed from the inside out, the original old wrinkles gradually disappeared, and even his soul seemed to be much lighter.

"But... Carol, why would you..."

King Seleus saw Kalo on the same ritual pattern.

For a moment, he was puzzled.

As soon as the words fell, fear instantly swept through Carol's body and mind. She was short of breath, her lips were trembling but she couldn't speak.

She also found that the wrinkles on her body were slowly fading away, and the feeling of eternal life really lingered in her soul.

Just when Carol was speechless, Mona quickly said:

"Your Majesty, this is part of the ceremony."

After being stunned, Carol turned her head and cast a grateful look.

There was no doubt that the witch was justifying herself.

After King Seleus heard Mona's explanation, deep suspicion appeared in his eyes.

But... I already got what I wanted.

eternal life!

He will become the first immortal person in the world and rule the great country under his feet forever.

Thinking of this, King Seleus didn't go any further,
"You have fulfilled my wish, and I will reward you.

Whatever you want, my subjects will do their best to satisfy you. "

....................................

After the ceremony, King Seleus, who was granted immortality, returned to the palace.

The nobles and ministers looked up at the king who had returned to his youth, and their hearts were filled with turmoil.

Their king...really lives forever?

A minister asked with a trembling voice:

"Your Majesty... Gods above, you really..."

King Seleus looked at the minister and said in a dignified voice:
"I've got what I want."

When the words fell to the ground, all the officials in the palace were stunned, and after a while, they congratulated King Seleus in unison.

The third prince looked at his father, and he seemed to sense something strange.

The father's voice was not as old as before, the white hair on his head disappeared, and all the wrinkles disappeared. On the outside, King Seleus had returned to his youth and would live forever, but the third prince still felt that something is wrong.

What was wrong, the third prince couldn't tell.

Maybe... I think too much.

The third prince also offered his blessings and congratulations to his father. Now that King Seleus has obtained the eternal life he dreamed of, it is not easy for him to express his doubts.

Soon after, Carol and Mona returned to the mansion prepared for them by the Kingdom of Riboga.

Back in the bedroom, only Carol and Mona were left in the hall. For some reason, Carol panicked for no reason.

The black-robed witch turned around, and she stood in the shadows, staring straight at Wenpo in front of her.

Under those eyes, Carol panicked and knelt on the ground subconsciously.

"Dear, honorable lady... I didn't mean to... I, I just lost my head for a while!

Get past me!I was impulsive and dizzy!I actually, I actually..."

Carol was a little incoherent, and she humbly begged forgiveness from the witch in front of her.

Mona looked at such a mother, her hands and feet were trembling, and the heart beat painfully in her thin chest.

Many years ago, when facing the witch in the forest, Carol knelt on the ground... Many years later, her mother still knelt on the ground like this.

Only this time, the object of the mother's kneeling was changed from the witch in the forest to herself.

It turned out that Carol had never changed over the years.

Beneath this humility is greed.

Mona was deeply disappointed, the girl had always been cowardly, but now she felt unwilling and angry.

Her brows trembled, almost knit together, looking very distorted.

With the last hope in her arms, the girl tentatively asked her mother.

"Eternal life does not belong to you.

But the world is impermanent, since you have obtained eternal life, what price will you have to pay? "

The girl's voice was trembling slightly, she was almost powerless to maintain the witch's indifference.

What price to pay?
These words resonated in Carol's mind.

cost…

The word "price" was mentioned in the mouths of the two witches I came into contact with.

If you want to trade with a witch, you have to pay a price.

So... what price can I pay?

Carol froze in place, various images flashed in her mind.

She first thought of gold, silver and jewelry...

But she soon realized that, to these witches hidden in the dense forest, these were just dead objects, not enough to pay the price of eternal life.

Then she thought about things related to fame, like nobility, etc...

But that meant nothing to witches either.

If witches cared about so-called fame, there wouldn't be so many evil legends about witches in this world.

The more Carol thought about it, the more irritable she became, and the more she thought about it, the more disturbed she became...

It seems that I... have nothing to exchange for eternal life.

Since there is no...

Then, you have to take out your most precious everything in exchange.

When thinking of this, Carol froze.

Immediately afterwards, she shuddered excitedly.

What is the most precious thing for a mother?
child…

The children who have endured hardships and spent countless hours with them.

Carol remembered again that she had exchanged the little girl Amina for the potion in the past.

After a while, a word came out of her cracked lips,

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have not paid the price of eternal life.

Please take my most precious thing.

And my most precious thing has always been my children. "

The words fell to the ground.

Mona seemed to hear something shattering.

The glass fell to the ground, and amidst the ear-piercing shattering sound, there was nothing left.

The girl stood in the shadows, she knew that she lost the bet.

I want to leave here, go back to that gloomy dense forest, brew potions day and night, and stay with my shadow for life.

All of this seemed to confirm the name the witch gave herself.

Mona...

It means loneliness.

Her eye sockets were sore and trembling.

How easy it is to blurt out the word "mother", but she has lost the reason to blurt it out.

In this bet, she had nothing left in her heart except despair.

"Goodbye."

After a while, the black-robed witch said coldly:

"Carol, you will never see me again."

In a blink of an eye, the witch disappeared without a trace.

Carol tremblingly stood up from the ground, she didn't know if the witch accepted the price she paid.

But the black-robed witch has disappeared, and now, she has enjoyed eternal life.

Carol was a little flustered, her heart was beating restlessly, she felt something was wrong, but she couldn't say it.

But soon, the ecstasy of eternal life dispelled all the anxiety.

Carol covered her mouth and laughed wildly in the dark.

Losing a child... is but a small price to pay for eternal life.

And the youngest daughter she once dedicated to the witch embarked on a journey back to the jungle.

A witch's apprentice becomes a witch after all.
