The Warden of the Witches Chapter 209

 Chapter 209: Really Going to come over?

Aiden's purpose is actually very clear.

The divine word of "reproduction" is useless to him. And The remains of the Nun can actually be handed over to the Witch Gathering.

As for divinity, he doesn't mind sharing a bit. Although instantly raising his divinity to the height of a saint is very nice, without the power of the divine word, divinity is meaningless.

At present, there is no need to offend the Witch Gathering for this little divinity that cannot be utilized, but it is absolutely impossible for him to give away his divinity for free.

Lamia suddenly made a joke upon hearing this: "What, do you really want to sleep with Abigail? How about I keep you company instead?"

"No, thank you." Aiden instantly refused.

With Lamia's head and her beastly body, plus her cannibalistic tendencies, she might literally eat him.

Abigail remained silent, seemingly contemplating.

After a long time, she spoke: "Alright, if you are willing to make a reasonable distribution, our Witch Gathering can promise to fulfill one of your requests—as long as it is within our power..."

"Such promises are already everywhere. At this point, do you still think you have that kind of credibility?" Aiden interrupted her.

Regardless of the previous tricks of Qimora and her group, there was already very little trust between Aiden and the Witch Gathering. In such a transaction, verbal promises are almost worthless.

Even if a demon contract were used to bind the agreement, their expertise in this area far surpasses his. It would be very difficult for him not to be taken advantage of.

"This is just a bonus. Besides this, I can also bestow a 'blessing' upon you." Abigail raised a finger.

"Blessing?"

"One... chance at resurrection." Abigail said slowly, "I can use my power to apply an ultimate healing method to you. It can quickly repair your body when you are on the brink of death. Of course, it is limited to one time."

"Oh?" Aiden couldn't help but be intrigued. "Resurrect even after death?"

"Yes, as long as your body still has enough active tissue to be repaired. The moment your vital signs stop, it will activate," Abigail confidently replied. "Besides using it for myself, I can only grant this chance to one other person."

Having a chance to revive instantly at the moment of death with full health was indeed a very valuable bargaining chip.

"This does sound tempting," Aiden said, crossing his arms. He suddenly shifted the topic, "But in such a resurrection, won't the soul be affected?"

He asked this mainly because he thought of the mechanism set by Mephilia in his body. After being killed, his body would be restored, but his soul would be replaced by a new transmigrant.

"Of course not. If the body takes too long to rebuild, the soul might indeed deteriorate. However, with Saint powers, I can ensure that you will swiftly be reborn with your soul intact," Abigail replied.

It seems that while both involve resurrection, Abigail's powers differ from Mephilia method.

Abigail's power focuses solely on the physical reconstruction, while Mephilia method includes soul replacement.

The same kind of power? No, probably not. Abigail mentioned earlier that the resurrection requires the body to have active tissue and can only be used on others once.

With such prerequisites, the founder of the Blood Moon Cult, who is determined to kill him, could simply burn his body to completely kill him. There would be no need to wait for so many years before coming back for him.

He guessed that Mephilia used another kind of power that can restore the body after death but cannot recover the soul. This kind of "resurrection" is meaningless to him now. In comparison, Abigail's "blessing" is a more reliable option.

"So, do we have a deal?" Abigail asked.

Aiden thought for a moment. "Yes, but I have one small request..."

"Boy, don't push your luck!" Hasbinis protested angrily.

"Don't worry, it's not an unreasonable request. I just want to seek some guidance from you regarding the divine words... you understand what I mean, right?" Aiden asked.

Abigail exchanged glances with the two people beside her and answered, "If you intend to obtain divine words from us, we only accept equivalent exchanges."

Aiden understood their meaning. It seems that only if he teaches the Witch Gathering divine words they haven't recorded will they be willing to make a trade.

Only the divine words one has mastered can be taught to others. Teaching divine words is, to some extent, revealing one's own cards. That’s why Abigail taught him the divine word of "order" instead of her specialty, "life." The Witch Gathering seems to be very cautious in this regard.

"...However, in terms of black magic, we can provide you with some advisory services to the best of our ability. That's the greatest concession we can make," Abigail suddenly added.

Getting technical support from the Witch Gathering in black magic—this seemed quite valuable. But at the same time, Aiden realized he should make his requests now; otherwise, they might turn into empty promises once he handed over his divinity.

Two things came to his mind.

"In that case..." Aiden thought for a moment and first looked at Vera. "I would like to obtain a core that can operate a mercury alloy golem. Is that possible?"

Previously, the core of the mercury alloy golem made by Vera lost its effectiveness due to Aiden's divine word effect. Being able to operate the mercury alloy golem more precisely would naturally be beneficial for Aiden.

Additionally, he hoped to see the mercury sphere transform into a humanoid form.

Vera hesitated for a moment before coldly responding, "only if you hand over the divinity properly..."

"And then, I'd like to ask Lady Lamia..." Aiden then turned his gaze to Lamia. "Regarding the physical transformation abilities obtained through a demon contract at the cost of losing pain sensation, is there a way to restore the pain sensation?"

The physical transformation techniques Aiden currently mastered were paid for by Evangeline. While the lack of pain sensation seemed convenient, it also had many inconveniences. Lamia was melusine teacher and was more advanced in this field.

Aiden thought it would be better to help Evangeline regain her pain sensation if possible.

"I see, you got my old techniques from melusine. The lack of pain was a package deal; otherwise, the transformation would be very painful," Lamia seemed a bit perplexed.

"I'm just asking if it's possible," Aiden repeated.

"It is, but only partially. I can concoct a pain-inducing potion with no obvious side effects. But It will significantly amplify the pain sensation for ordinary people," Lamia cackled. "You could also use it for torturing prisoners."

"That works," Aiden said, then looked at Abigail. "So, how do we make the exchange?"

At this point, the bargaining chips offered by the other party were sufficient. The question was how to complete the transaction.

"Of course, it's an in-person exchange," Abigail replied without hesitation.

"What do you mean by 'in-person'? You don't expect me to visit you in the Sabbath Forest, do you?" Aiden frowned.

"Rest assured, that won't be necessary," Abigail calmly responded. "I will personally visit you at a later date."

Aiden was taken aback by this.

Abigail was really... planning to come over?
