Witch, Fireball and the Evil God of Steam-Chapter 806 - 144: The Moonlight Is Beautiful

When the radiance of the True God fails to bless the masses, the rebels will cast themselves into darkness.

This was why the believers in the three major Evil Gods expanded both inside and outside the empire during Julius's era.

The present Silver Radiance Empire is precisely at the stage where the Evil God takes root and thrives.

The nobles enjoying their post-dinner activities halted their steps, all witnessing the astonishing scene— the white cat lazily lounging on Ethan's lap suddenly emitted a pure light, which dissipated into the form of a white-haired girl.

The girl bathed in the silvery moonlight, evoking in them a feeling of sanctity.

Why did the cat transform into a human?

Some among them recognized Ethan, as Ilya had previously brought him to the villa, yet he spoke to no one, and they knew nothing of Ethan's background. After some discussion, the informed ones mentioned that he was a visitor from afar, coming from Gear City, who entrusted the rebel leader Lance to the Imperial Army. To commend Ethan's actions, Duke Ash invited him as a guest.

After a brief confusion came envy.

Fabius almost immediately recalled the red-haired woman he encountered in the street last night. He followed her to a restaurant; she was a foreigner possessing an allure absent in the women always surrounding him. Yet, he never imagined that wicked woman would remain indifferent upon hearing his name, and even publicly beat him up.

And now, another young woman from abroad appeared in the Simpler Clan's estate.

Mysterious and sacred, an itching feeling surged within in an instant.

As the heir to the Simpler Clan, Fabius never understood the meaning of "loss" or "missed opportunity" from birth; anything or anyone he fancied would eventually belong to him.

A few young aristocrats noticed Fabius's gaze and readily headed toward Ethan and Lindong.

They realized their chance for a display had come.

Fabius had encountered some "accidents" last night, and his mood was at its worst. If they could cheer him up, they would certainly leave a profound impression on him, making their parents proud.

As for Ethan.

An unknown noble from a border city. If he were sensible, he ought to seek favor from Young Master Fabius voluntarily.

"What are you two doing here?"

The lead henchman barked out a question.

History always astonishingly rhymes, but Ethan thought it through and felt relieved.

As Lindong said, the Silver Radiance Empire was established in the era of Julius and processed through an even darker handling. He didn't know if the vanished Silver Emperor caused all this, but ordinary people in this country held a status akin to items or livestock.

The aristocrats wielded absolute power; their will transcended the law, possessing the privilege to decide life and death.

So, is there any hope left for the common people born in the Silver Radiance Empire?

The options seemed limited to either self-domestication or living away from cities and nobles like those vagrants, in places uninhabited.

Ethan understood the essence of the game between heroes and Demon Kings.

The noble lords mercifully arranged a wonderful performance for all the empire's residents, presenting an object for them to channel hatred toward, concentrating negative emotions like anger, resentment, hate onto a target, aiding in their self-intoxication and self-domestication.

This system was already quite refined in the Silver Radiance Empire.

The thriving Imperial Capital was the best evidence.

"I was asking you a question!"

The henchman intensified his tone. Ethan knew that for the nobles in the Silver Radiance Empire, it was just another ordinary day.

"Stargazing."

He answered the other party.

"Stargazing?" The henchman's eyes darted around, quickly concocting a suitable phrasing, "We all saw earlier; this woman transformed from a cat, right? You have some nerve bringing a woman who knows demon art into the Simpler Clan's estate!"

He felt like a genius for immediately finding such a righteous excuse.

Next, they just needed to declare the white-haired girl a "Witch" and take her for questioning alone; they well knew what to do afterward.

"Isn't such a rare lunar phenomenon worth detailed admiration?"

A surprising response, the henchman skeptically lifted his head to look upward, and in the next moment, he let out a startled cry, stepping back a few paces, tripping over the "pet" the Third Princess led.

Fabius and the others raised their heads in confusion too, and when they looked closely at the abnormality in the night sky, their expressions changed.

It was an eye.

Replacing the previously incomplete moon, two red pupils gazed down upon the land.

The red pupils were identical to those of the white-haired girl before them.

"Why be afraid?"

Ethan asked, "Isn't this as you wished? Congratulations, you guessed correctly. She is indeed a genuine Witch."

A biting cold enveloped them as scarlet ice spread visibly beneath their feet. Those they held by leash as "pets" were seemingly awakened by some call, their blood-curdling screams pulling the aristocrats back to reality, as the scent of blood rapidly permeated the air.
