Infinite Mask Game

Chapter 204 The bottleneck of bloodline
Obviously, facing her nominal "mother", Little Red Riding Hood was very cautious and thought for a long time.

Perhaps he is recalling every detail of these years, or perhaps he is assessing the possible consequences of various actions.

"Can Mr. Gray Rabbit hand over control of her to me?" asked Little Red Riding Hood.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. Only I can control her."

"Then, could you please lead her back to the witch territory with me?"

Wei Miao readily agreed: "It's up to you."

The Witch Territory is a collection of residences for witches. Each witch occupies sufficient geographical space to facilitate private research. Only invited guests are welcome.

Witches are territorial, and intruders like Ojan often become experimental materials for witches.

So, Elsa pretended to hold Little Red Riding Hood's hand, and Wei Miao followed slowly behind them.

It was an uneventful journey to the witch's territory.It is located some distance away from the market, mainly to ensure that the witches have enough space for activities.

There is no obvious boundary mark in the witch's territory. The default is a distance of about 200 meters from the residence. Their residences are sometimes hidden in the shadows of the jungle.This is why Ao Jian, who was too weak to think clearly at the time, got into this by mistake.

At this moment, as far as the eye can see, warm orange lights can be faintly seen everywhere in the woods, like sporadic fireflies flickering silently.

The beautiful little courtyard of the witch Elsa stood in the darkness.

A thick white stone exterior wall glows with a faint cold light at night, blocking the sight of curious people. The tall door pillars are carved with simple and elegant zigzag relief patterns.

Aisha stood in front of the wrought iron gate, murmured something in a low voice, and a ball of magic power gathered in her hand close to the door lock.

The lever lock on the door clicked to the ground.

Wei Miao walked into the courtyard and looked around curiously.

The stone path at your feet connects to the main body of the house not far away. The interior of the courtyard is laid out like a flower bed, with lush flowers and plants growing in rows of flower beds.There is a lawn space left in front of the house, with a round table and a crooked deck chair.

There was even a folded parasol next to the chair.

Wei Miao has already imagined Aisha's daily life attitude in her mind.

There is no clear boundary between life and research for witches. They can work hard and enjoy life in their free time. For example, on a sunny day, they can lie on a lounge chair and look at the garden full of herbs, and have a cup of afternoon tea.

There is not much difference between the exquisite little foreign-style house and the house owned by another witch in the secret realm. The only thing worth noting is that there is a small semicircular balcony above the porch.If you lean on the stone railing decorated with flowers and look down, you can have a panoramic view of the courtyard.

"Please wait here, both of you."

Little Red Riding Hood broke away from Elsa's hand and took out an engraved blue metal key from the gap in the flower bed.

Wei Miao recognized it at a glance. It was an inscribed key, which had been popular in the high-end market since its inception.It is said that a high-end implicit etching process is used, which can only be produced by elite inscription masters. An advanced inscription called "resonance" is used to verify the consistency of the lock and key.If you want to reproduce an inscribed key, you need to destroy its integrity to understand the internal inscribed structure.But if you can destroy the key, why not just use it to open the lock?
The contradiction between use and reproduction greatly improves its security.

There is a professional door lock shop in the gathering place market. The clerk was very enthusiastic when he saw her, and Wei Miao naturally responded enthusiastically.After deliberately building a closer relationship, Wei Miao satisfied the clerk's vanity by asking for advice in a humble way, and asked about some superficial principles.In the end, even though she walked out of the store empty-handed, the clerk still watched her leave with a smile on his face.

Little Red Riding Hood opened the door of her house smoothly, walked in and turned on the light, while Wei Miao waited outside with interest.

After waiting for half an hour, Little Red Riding Hood came out with a glass of water.

Wei Miao was sitting on a lounge chair in the courtyard, looking at the three-wheeled moon in the sky.

She was sorting out her thoughts over the past few days.

The movement of Little Red Riding Hood interrupted her thoughts.When she heard the sound and left, she saw that the transparent glass in Little Red Riding Hood's hand contained about 200ml of unknown light yellow liquid, which was clear and free of impurities.

Wei Miao asked curiously: "This is it?"

Little Red Riding Hood said calmly: "It's just a magic potion that can make people lose their sense of self."

"If there is such a method, why wasn't it used before?"

"You should know that once I meditate and practice, I will speed up the development of my bloodline... In short, I don't have magic power, I can't solve the access control of the potion workshop, and I don't dare to let her find out that I have extraordinary knowledge." Little Red Riding Hood Explained, "There is a connection between Aisha and the door control. It will take time for me to prepare the potion."

While controlling Aisha to take the water cup, Wei Miao asked: "I'm curious, why do you know that you will be used as a material for the blood successor potion?"

"It's not difficult to guess. Elsa is at the peak of her apprenticeship, and her understanding of magic is pretty good. The only thing that can bother her is blood. Young witches usually don't have children, and only old witches will consider having children. , because they are about to reach the end of their lives, and their mental energy is not as active as before. Their strength will not only be sealed, but may also regress, so they are willing to share part of their blood for inheritance. The descendants have exactly the same blood as hers, which is equivalent to her The continuation of life.”

"But Aisha is not yet that age. She is in her final 'struggle period'. 'Youth' does not directly jump to 'old age'. There is a period of peak maintenance in the middle, and then she will continue to decline. The growth of strength When it stagnates like being nailed to a cross, it reaches the end of the maintenance period. The witch self-deprecatingly named it the 'struggle period'. After the struggle period, opportunities are gone."

"The witch at the peak of her apprenticeship is in a struggling period, and the bottleneck of her bloodline is bothering her. Isn't the intention of giving birth to a descendant at this moment obvious?"

Little Red Riding Hood's tone at this moment was like that of an experienced senior, commenting lightly on her mother.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would believe that Little Red Riding Hood could say these words at her age and appearance.

She knew everything.

Wei Miao threw out a test: "But the average descendant probably doesn't even know what the Blood Succession Potion is. Besides, you don't have any practice, which means you discovered this very early... Sometimes I doubt that you There is another soul living in the body.”

Approximately how early is it?One data is that witches can start practicing at the age of three.

Therefore, Wei Miao is very interested in her. More deeply, she wants to know the essence of Little Red Riding Hood.

As she said, she was shrouded in mystery.
