There are some things that Mu Hua doesn't need to worry about, but there are some things that only he can handle.
For example, Caroline brought more than a hundred evil spirits, and Mu Hua was frightened by the sight of them.
Witch Souls, more than one hundred witches turned into ghosts.
Mu Hua didn't give them the Philosopher's Stone, but they turned into evil spirits in a short period of time. How much resentment must they have in their hearts?
"What's going on?" After driving away the undead, Mu Hua asked Caroline.
"Sir..." Caroline looked at Ingrid beside Mu Hua, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
"Your Majesty, I'll take my leave now." Ingrid glanced at the crowd of evil spirits behind Caroline and fear flashed in her eyes.
The so-called witch soul is essentially no different from an ordinary ghost, but if it is born out of jealousy, it is different.
While they retained their memories from their previous lives, they also retained their spellcasting abilities. There might be some defects in their magical adaptability, but most witches knew some soul magic.
Simply put, as long as their attributes meet the requirements, they don't need to learn any more and can directly use the magic they mastered during their lifetime. They are far more dangerous than ordinary ghosts.
Moreover, witch souls have more choices in evolution. Because they have demonic roots, they can not only evolve into faceless men, but also choose to evolve into wailing banshees.
"Yeah." Mu Hua nodded in response, and Ingrid left alone.
"Tuesday." Mu Hua called out casually, and Doris came out of Mu Hua's body and cast joy on the evil spirits. The hideous looks on their faces gradually calmed down.
"From now on, I will set aside some time every Tuesday to express joy in the church. I'll wait for Rita's notification on the specific time. Is there anything else?" The witch souls thanked Mu Hua. Ingrid's figure had disappeared outside the door. Mu Hua asked Caroline again.
Although a ghost born out of jealousy may fall into madness due to emptiness, it will not happen so quickly. Even if its personality may be a little impatient, it can remain normal for several months.
Although the growth path of a regular ghost is ghost-evil spirit-evil spirit, its essence is growth, not evolution. In other words, a ghost can directly evolve into a dead soul.
Since these witch souls have voluntarily become evil spirits in such a short period of time, it means that their resentment has to a certain extent destroyed their original humanity, and it is very necessary to replenish their sense of pleasure in a timely manner.
However, it is no secret that Mu Hua can grant pleasure to ghosts. There is no need for Caroline to deliberately send Ingrid away. I think in addition to timely "charging" these witch souls, Caroline should have other things to say.
"Sir, we have received news that a wandering witch wants to take revenge on the nobles of the Magic Empire. The target should be some courtyards controlled by the nobles in the Earldom of Bridges."
"Revenge? Involve us too?" Mu Hua frowned. He had originally wanted to go to the courtyard to experiment with some magic with a larger impact range. He was in a good mood, but this news made his heart sink.
It’s a very strange feeling, somewhat happy, but also somewhat annoyed, quite contradictory and indescribably uncomfortable.
The wandering witch wants to take revenge on the imperial nobles. This is the only relatively normal information Mu Hua has heard since the Kanes incident.
To be honest, perhaps because of his original living environment, Mu Hua, including Tabitha, always felt that there was something wrong with everyone's focus since the Penelope incident.
What about covering up for Penelope, what about suppressing ghosts, controlling ghosts, establishing prestige, what about developing one's own power, what about cleaning up Benson's side branches, and so on and so forth.
Although he became a noble, and although he felt that he should adapt to looking at things from different perspectives, he still felt depressed.
Although magic is mysterious, it would be incredible if Penelope could have caused such a big commotion in the city of Cairns so suddenly and violently without someone secretly indulging her.
If this is possible, how has Loren Star been peaceful for so many years? Not to mention other things, just look at the ghosts and gods in the Ghost and God Council, why have they been living peacefully in their own territory?
But after the incident happened, while everyone was discussing how to calm the situation, they were also discussing making profits and development. Even those people who were demonstrating were being held accountable in a myriad of ways.
To be honest, Mu Hua just deliberately ignored all this, but deep down, he was still somewhat uncomfortable with it.
Now someone has finally pointed the finger at the northern nobles, and the information they received is an attempt to retaliate with force. Mu Hua felt inexplicably relieved, just like his stomach was bloated and uncomfortable. Suddenly he burped and exhaled in one breath, as if he had understood everything. "It shouldn't involve us. After all, we are all victims, and you are not responsible for Penelope's matter itself."
"The main reason is that some of us here are connected with those witches who intend to take revenge on the nobles. We can even say that those wandering witches are taking revenge on some of us..." Caroline looked at the evil spirits behind her and was interrupted by Mu Hua when she was explaining.
"Okay, no need to say more. This is none of my business. If someone wants to leave, let them leave. But don't come back after you leave... Forget it, stay or go as you wish."
There was a witch trying to stir up trouble, and it seemed that she was going to target the northern nobles. Mu Hua felt inexplicably relieved, but no matter how comfortable he was, he was now a vested interest after all. It was good enough that he did not help the nobles to fight against them. There was no reason for him to get involved in such a mess.
Penelope's actions may have been deliberately indulged by the nobles, but what about these witches now? They just do things when they want to? Who is secretly indulging them?
A homeless camp? Impossible. If they dared to do that, they would have already done it.
Black Witch Academy? That didn't make sense. There was no reason for the king to come to the human world to stir up trouble. Otherwise, the boundary between adventurers and residents would have been broken long ago.
The aristocratic forces took advantage of the Penelope incident to overthrow a group of bureaucrats from the ruling party. Haha, speaking of it, for those who play power politics, there seems to be no reason for them to accept being beaten and punished without fighting back.
Mu Hua estimated that the so-called revenge against the nobles was probably fueled by the ruling party who were taking the blame.
It seemed like a very exciting thing at first, but when you think about it carefully, it is very dirty. Mu Hua shook his head secretly.
"I will pretend that I didn't hear anything about this matter. If any of you want to leave, please leave quietly, but remember, don't bring trouble to Caines."
"You all know my situation. I only have this much ability, and I can only look forward. I want to build a psychic academy for you, and I want to build a ghost city."
"I hope you can understand that everything we do now is for your future. Not only you, but also the future of tens of thousands of ghosts in the city of Caines." Mu Hua looked at the witch souls and said emotionally.
Tsk~, each of them has his own agenda. We have a lot of things to sort out here. Those who want to cause trouble should leave quickly, Mu Hua muttered in his heart, with a righteous look on his face.
"Sir, we can come to report to you because we trust you."
"Don't worry, we will never allow anyone to come to Canes City to cause trouble."
"Thank you for your care in recent days. I bid you farewell today and wish you good luck in military affairs!" An evil spirit stood out from the crowd, and as she spoke, more than 70% of the witches' souls bowed to Mu Hua.
"Well. Go ahead. Be careful." Without pretending any more, with a stern face and seemingly emotional, Mu Hua nodded and waved his hand.
The evil spirits disappeared, and only about twenty witches' souls remained, including Caroline.
"My lord, they have their own difficulties. We can't let our former friends and masters and disciples avenge them while they themselves remain indifferent. Perhaps they also hope that you can stop them?" Caroline sighed as she floated to Mu Hua's side and looked at the departing witch souls.
"Oh, what can I do to stop it? Wouldn't that make me a northern noble as well?" Mu Hua shook his head and sneered.
"Come to think of it, what can they do if they go there? Oh, forget it. It's not good to remain indifferent." They are called witch souls, but for the time being they are just a group of poor evil spirits. However, while sighing, Mu Hua also understood that sometimes, being weak is not a reason to shrink back.
Although he faced Penelope directly, Mu Hua was not clear about many things, and he did not want to know the details. Without talking more about the departing witch's soul, Mu Hua looked at the evil spirit that remained.
"If you don't have anyone to go to, just follow me. The academy still needs you. When the city of Caines stabilizes, I will also find ways to promote your growth." Mu Hua said to the evil spirits.
"Yes, sir." The evil spirit responded. Mu Hua asked Doris to go with them to the academy to spread some joy to the ghosts in the academy first.
Without any deliberate explanation or request, Mu Hua naturally brought these witches' souls under his command, and these witches' souls also consciously bore Mu Hua's label.
Perhaps subtle influence is the secondary factor. Caroline's daily guidance is also indispensable in this process.
As long as there are a lot of people, they will inevitably get a little dirty. (End of this chapter)
