Chapter 484 The Witch of Greed, Echidna
Inside the palace.
"Nice to meet you for the first time, Ayato-sama." x2.
Ayato looked at the two beautiful girls in maid uniforms before him.
So it was them.
Petra Leyte.
Frederica Baumann.
Both were characters from the original plot, so he had some impression.
Feeling Ayato's gaze, Petra and Frederica's expressions both became nervous.
Before coming here, Ram had revealed some relevant information.
They were very clear about what the man before them meant.
At the same time, a hidden anticipation arose in their hearts.
Legendary Devils... possessed unimaginable power.
They could even bestow power upon others.
Lady Ram's current strength was obvious for all to see.
If...
They could also gain Ayato's favor, that would be an enormous opportunity.
But they also knew...
Ayato's will could not be shaken by anyone.
So all they had to do was do their duty and obediently listen.
As for the rest...
They could only strive for it through their own performance.
A moment later, Ayato said, "Mm, nice to meet you."
"From now on, you will assist Ram in managing the miscellaneous affairs of the palace."
"Yes, Ayato-sama."
Petra and Frederica were delighted and, under Ram's direction, began to continue their busy work.
Master hadn't made a direct move?
Elsa and the others exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat strange.
Could it be... Master had changed his ways?
No, impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
It seemed Master wasn't keen on fishing, but had become obsessed with angling.
Ayato's Bedroom.
"So these are Witch Factors?"
Ayato sat in a chair, looking at the specks of light within the barrier in his hand.
"If that's the case..."
His eyes glowed faintly as he used these Witch Factors as anchors, spreading his perception infinitely outward.
No one knew how long passed.
Ayato's eyes lit up. "Found it."
The moment his voice fell.
A flash of light, and Ayato's figure vanished.
When he reappeared...
He had arrived in a lush green world.
"Oh my, for someone to be able to actively enter here, how surprising."
A somewhat whimsical voice sounded, and a girl came into Ayato's view.
She was a beautiful girl with long white hair, wearing a black dress, emanating a dangerous aura all over.
She sat at a small white table, as if a young lady enjoying afternoon tea.
"It seems I haven't come to the wrong place."
Ayato walked over, unhesitatingly sat opposite the girl, a smile appearing on his lips.
The Witch of Greed, Echidna.
It seemed he would be taking in more than one servant today.
Echidna took a sip of tea, her manner very serene.
But her eyes... were full of longing for knowledge.
She smiled lightly. "I am very interested in you."
"Can you tell me how you came here?"
The Witch Factor in Ayato's hand flickered briefly, and he explained, "Very simple. I just followed the Witch Factor here."
"That's not such a simple thing."
Echidna's eyes narrowed slightly, but she grew more and more eager.
As if... looking at prey.
"But the more this happens, the more my thirst for knowledge grows."
She laughed darkly. "I really, really want to make you mine."
"What a coincidence. That's what I'm thinking too."
Hearing this, Ayato also laughed. "So, how about becoming mine?"
Hearing Ayato's words, Echidna was somewhat surprised.
"I didn't expect you to say that?"
Echidna's eyes flickered, covering her mouth as she laughed. "You should know my identity."
"And yet you still dare to be so bold. May I know why?"
Her words were filled with curiosity.
Because she was the Witch of Greed.
What she longed for was an endless thirst for knowledge.
"I'm only interested in you yourself."
Ayato looked up, his deep gaze meeting Echidna's black pupils.
"As for the so-called Witch, she is nothing to a Devil."
"Hmm?"
Echidna was stunned.
She, a Witch, had encountered someone who called themselves a Devil.
For a moment...
Even she didn't know how to react.
But soon...
Her entire body began to tremble with excitement. "You... are you really a Devil?"
For her, who understood most of the world's knowledge...
She knew very well...
Devils did not exist.
But what if... it was true?
After all, she couldn't see through the other at all.
