Curse of Blood

Yveta also noticed the woman behind him.

Leili even blocked in front of him, using himself as Yveta's meat shield. This was far more loyal than some witches.

Black Wolf also drew his sword against the woman. "Who are you?"

Yveta prepared to unleash the damage spell of Triple Ring at any moment and slowly retreated after turning to face the crouching woman.

The old witch pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry, this thing won't harm you. It's just an illusion."

"The era when she truly existed was likely thousands of years ago. However, she left a magic on this stone wall. I suspect the switch to trigger this magic was opening this book in my hand."

"And she's probably not human, but a humanoid creature similar to a Blood Bird or an Eagle Person."

"Heh, thousands of years ago, the Ambrose Basin was full of these foreign races. Later, humans killed them all. They were killed until they were afraid, and humans achieved the final victory."

Yveta then noticed the 'woman' squatting on the ground. There were some black and silver feathers between her necks.

This guy was indeed not human.

You just couldn't tell if you didn't look closely.

The woman suddenly spoke. "Since when have witches become so fond of the human race? Has the world changed after a thousand years?"

The old witch puffed out her chest and said proudly, "We witches have done all sorts of bad things, but we have never betrayed humanity!"

"That's why the Druids are being hunted to near extinction, while we witches, despite being disliked by everyone, are still flourishing."

"This is the reason."

The 'woman' squatting on the ground was silent for a moment.

She said, "Actually, there was a betrayal, it's just that..."

"The Druids didn't side with the non-humans either. The civilization they chose at the time was just a bit special, but it was still human. It's just a pity..."

The old witch fell into confusion.

Because it involved events from thousands of years ago, she didn't actually know very clearly.

Regarding the civilization supported by the Druids, her teacher was very secretive about it and rarely talked about it.

However, this was a phantom from a thousand years ago, so she snorted coldly and didn't choose to believe it.

The woman suddenly looked at Yveta, at the obsidian ring on Yveta's thumb. "The Druids' Meeting Ring. Since you have this, perhaps we can be friends."

"The order in Viscount Ambrose is about to fall into chaos."

"Everything here will be overturned soon. Do you want to join our Forest Son Alliance?"

Yveta looked at the old witch. The old witch had said that her beloved disciple had done a great thing.

The key was, what exactly did your disciple do to cause Viscount Ambrose's Independent State to fall into chaos?

Enemies from thousands of years ago were even revived because of it.

Yveta shook his head at the 'woman'. "I am the future king of Arthas. I will not betray humanity for a race that has already failed!"

Who knew that the woman would laugh upon hearing this. "Hahahaha... No wonder the Druids gave you the Meeting Ring."

"To think you're a descendant of the Arthas sinful race, hahahaha... That family actually has someone alive, and living until now."

"It's not easy."

"But I guess they wouldn't let you, the Arthas sinful race, off easily."

"The people of the Arthas family claim they won't betray, ah hahaha..."

Yveta was completely bewildered. The Arthas Royal Family was a sinful race?

What did the Arthas Royal Family do to be called a sinful race?

Thousands of years ago, humans didn't have complete dominance on this continent and were fighting against various races. What role did the Arthas Royal Family play at that time?

Could it be that the reason the Arthas family lost the throne had more hidden secrets behind it?!

And this Meeting Ring was actually so famous that even a deceased person from many years ago could recognize it at a glance.

What exactly was this Meeting Ring?

Was it okay for him to wander around with the Druids' Meeting Ring on his finger...

He was a mess right now.

The Arthas Royal Family, a Druid, and the old witch by his side. Oh right, the old witch also thought he was a Demon God from Subspace.

He was practically a label box for anti-human forces.

The Hearthstone Great Witch said to Yveta, "Your Majesty, don't listen to the nonsense of a phantom from a thousand years ago."

"Her time stopped thousands of years ago."

"Your Majesty?" The woman turned around, revealing a face of unparalleled beauty, so beautiful it could attract the soul.

She looked at Yveta in confusion. "It's strange that you address this human child with a term for a Subspace existence. Wait, my eyes cannot see through his soul; I can only see his physical body."

"Even spanning two thousand six hundred and twenty-two years, it shouldn't be like this."

"The only possibility..."

Suddenly, her expression changed, and she actually bowed to Yveta, performing a standard salute.

"The Forest Duke bows to one as great as you. I failed to notice your identity before. It seems you've also realized that the Thousand Year Fire has reached its limit, and thus chosen the descendants of the Sinful Race as vessels for its descent."

"The flames are about to extinguish, the laws are weakening, and order is about to be overturned."

"My appearance was originally to kill the reader who opened Ambrose's Forbidden Book, so that this book would never be seen by humans. My curse was not cast upon the stone wall, but upon the book itself."

"But since it has fallen into your hands, it means humanity will never obtain this book."

"Thank you for keeping the forbidden book for us."

Yveta: "..."

Don't make me sound like some ultimate anti-human force.

This woman from a thousand years ago has also been misled by the Old Witch.

I'm a bit abnormal because I borrowed the names of six God Kings, but I'm not a Demon God.

This Old Witch tells everyone she meets that I'm a Demon God, misleading one person after another. If this spreads too far, what if the Church gets involved?!

Hearthstone Great Witch! Will you be responsible for explaining to the Church on my behalf then?!

The woman suddenly threw her head back, blood flowing from her eyes. Her body began to crack like a shattered mirror.

The blood flowing from the corners of her eyes turned into droplets that eerily flew upwards.

She let out a hysterical scream, her voice hoarse like a man's, not like the beautiful, gentle woman's voice from before.

"I, in the name of the Sixth Rank High Priest, ruler of the Children of the Forest, the Forest Duke, make the following prophecy."

"Henceforth, Ambrose will leave an era of peace and enter an era of blood and fire, an era of swords and betrayal, an era of human decline."

"The following disasters will befall this land."

"The first disaster is that the land will begin to wither, and humans will not receive their due sustenance."

"The second disaster is that the Po River will be dyed red with human blood."

"The third disaster is that rats will infest the cities of Ambrose, and the bones of my people, suppressed for a thousand years, will emerge from the land of Ambrose."

"The thousand years of blood shed by the Children of the Forest must be repaid with thirty times the blood of humans."
