The Warden of The Witches

Chapter 110:

The Language of the Gods

Aiden looked at the demon summoned by Dailey disapeared, when he looked up he saw Dailey wearing a similar surprised expression.

"What's with the surprise? Wasn't it you who asked me to recite it?" Aiden looked at her suspiciously.

"Yes.... But I didn't expect the divine language to actually work... Let me confirm it, warden..... You really have no idea what Abigail taught you, right?" Dailey asked earnestly.

"Of course not, otherwise why would I ask for your help?" Aiden sat down on the chair.

"This is really strange. I've never seen a situation like yours before," Dailey pondered.

"So, what was that just now?" Aiden asked, "that's not A black magic right?"

finally freed from the torment of that "incantation." He now had the luxury to ask this question.

He was curious, unavoidably so, because Abigail's incantation was incredibly bewildering.

Ordinary black magic follows the rule that the effectiveness of the spell decreases with distance.

Abigail resides in the Sabbath Forest, hundreds of kilometers away from Silver City. It would be virtually impossible to use black magic to inflict a mental attack strong enough to erase someone's sanity across such a vast distance.

"I understand your doubts, but that was actually black magic... Or to be precise, it was the origin of black magic," Dailey said mysteriously.

"The origin?"

"What Abigail told you is actually the language of the godsthe language of the dominators."

"The language of the gods?" Aiden immediately thought of a certain goddess imprisoned beneath this office. "Is this what you've been referring to as the 'divine language'?"

"Yes," Dailey nodded. "Magic is a supernatural power constructed through language. The language of the dominators corresponds to the authority they possess. With just a word, a god can easily change the laws of the world within their jurisdiction. Warden, you are aware of the Four Books, the origins of black magic, right?"

"The Book of the Mind, the Book of Order, the Book of Life and Death, and the Book of Matter?"

Aiden recalled. The previous Aiden, a senior inquisitor, was well-versed in black magic, and he had inherited theoretical knowledge about it.

These four books were the cornerstones of magic, each containing only a few thin pages. However, almost all existing magic was gradually derived, combined, and assembled using the basic spells recorded in these four books.

The content of these four books originated from four ancient stone tablets, and there is still no unified explanation for where these tablets came from. However, these four tablets are indeed the origin of black magic.

"The Four Books replicate the content of the Origin Tablets. Abigail believes that the magic used by humans, whether it's the permitted white magic or the strictly controlled black magic, is essentially a degraded version of the divine language. What is written on the Origin Tablets is the residue left behind after mortals have removed the parts they couldn't comprehend and utilize from the divine language. The So-called magic is just a crude imitation of the authority of the gods by mortals," Dailey explained calmly.

"So, she simply skipped studying ordinary black magic and went straight to studying the language of the gods?" Aiden understood.

"Exactly. She proposed a theory that as long as one masters enough of the divine language, they can seize the dominators' authority with their mortal bodya glorious path to godhood," Dailey expression remained unchanged, but her tone carried a genuine admiration. "She is truly a prodigy in every sense of the word, which is why other witches respectfully call her the 'Apex Witch'."

Witches pursue forbidden knowledge, and the purer the witch, the more eager they are to seek the ultimate knowledge. Abigail's research into black magic clearly surpassed that of other witches. While they were still delving into how to exhaust the limits of mortal black magic, she had already begun exploring the source of magicthe power of the gods.

"So you're saying that I almost went crazy because of the effect of that divine language she spoke?" Aiden thought he understood.

But at that moment, Dailey shook her head. "That's not entirely accurate. The mental contamination you experienced earlier wasn't strictly caused by the power of that divine language. It was merely a side effect."

"Side effect?" Aiden couldn't help but be startled.

"Because the language of the dominators is completely beyond the comprehension of mortals. If they don't adapt through a specific form of expression, the divine language will continue to exert a high-level suppression on the affected mortal's mind until they collapse. As you know, some cultists who receive the 'gift of the gods' often experience mental disorders..." Dailey reminded him.

"Like 'Insane Hal'? Aiden immediately thought of it.

(TN: *Mad Hailo)

"Yes, I believe she probably heard the voice of her worshipped dominator directly and obtained the special power bestowed by the divine language, but her mind completely crumbled along with it."

Aiden's face turned dark as he listening. He remembered that Mephilia had told him more than once that if he helped her remove a holy nail, she would grant him a "blessing"...

That black-hearted goddess really just wanted to take advantage of him.

"Well, I guess I'm lucky," Aiden let out a sigh of relief. "If there wasn't a way to speak the divine language, I would have ended up like her, wouldn't I?"

"Yes, you must have seen other grand witches at the gathering, right? Abigail only taught the six of us the divine language and the method of adapting to it. Only we have researched the ways to express the divine language," Dailey said with a smile, "My demon Possesion, Lamia Potion, and physical Transformation magic are all for this ".

Physical Transformation? Could it be that this kind of technique was developed specifically for expressing the divine language? Aiden wondered.

Melusine, being a disciple of the grand witch Lamia, was not recognized as a grand witch by Abigail herself. Therefore, she was not taught about the divine language and instead treated the demonic contract as a means to obtain the ability of physical Transformation for the purpose of training assassins.

In other words... the ability of physical Transformation could actually transform the structure of the vocal cords into a state capable of expressing the divine language. Aiden just didn't know how to adjust it precisely to that state.

But maybe now he could do it. Dailey had just used her possessing demon to modify his body, and the memory of that state remained within him. If it fell within the range of physical modification abilities, he might be able to recreate it.

If that were the case, perhaps he could harness the power of this divine language.

"Since this is just a side effect, what is the actual effect of this divine language?" Aiden asked eagerly. "Organizing offices? Exorcism?"

"Exactly, I believe the divine language you were granted is the 'Language of Order,'" Dailey nodded confidently.

"Language of Order..." Aiden pondered for a moment, then furrowed his brow. "If you know this much, why were you so surprised earlier?"

Dailey smiled mysteriously. "Well, Warden.... that's something you should ask yourself."
