I was imprisoned by witches

Chapter 179 Capturing the Assassin
Back at the orphanage, Lynn approached Bernice and tried her best to get her to agree to help tomorrow.

Saving a priest is a great achievement. Although Lynn wanted Anjie's goodwill, what he told Bernice was that the Holy See would give him a lot of rewards.

The young couple were very poor. Bernice, who had already reached level 12, was still wearing level 10 equipment. She only had a green poisonous short knife, which was a rare blue level 12 weapon.

At this level, a blue weapon costs more than 5000 gold. Lin En is really powerless. Compared with the Martha he raised in the countryside, the cost is not high.

That night, Bernice fell asleep in his arms.

He lowered his head and looked at Bernice's moving profile. Her calm mood was like her eyelashes that swayed gently when she breathed.

Anyone who wants to disturb this peace will be killed by him.

At this time, he was missing a few people around him, and his heart became incomplete.

"I want to protect them, no matter how many times I have to do it again."

Lynn feels a responsibility beyond revenge.

the next day.

He arrived at Baige Square early.

This place is located in the outer city of Crimson Fire City. Originally, a business bank opened here in order to collect money from the common people, but found that it could not make ends meet and moved away.

As the trading houses left, Baige Square quickly became deserted.

The fountain pool has long since dried up and is overgrown with wild weeds.

The floor tiles were broken everywhere and household garbage was blowing in the wind.

Usually the only people gathered here are wild cats and dogs, and displaced orphans.

Anjie discovered this situation after she came to Red Fire City, so she often brought food and visited the children, which led to more and more children gathering here.

From a dozen at the beginning, it became dozens, and now there are nearly a hundred.

Lin En put on ordinary linen clothes and hid among the children.

The attack occurred at night, and he visited the location in advance to pay attention to some suspicious characters.

Bernice and Efka were deployed near the bakery where the assassin appeared. One of them was level 12 and the other was level 14. It wouldn't be a big problem to work together to take down the assassin.

In a blink of an eye, night fell.

Anjie came carrying a big basket.

After not seeing each other for more than two years, she was still wearing that simple white dress.

Time has not left many traces on her body. The light of the magic street lamp shines on her face, which is holy and gentle, but there is inevitably a trace of haggard in her eyes.

Especially when I saw nearly a hundred children in the square, swarming like ants and stretching out their little hands, begging for food, the haggardness became even more obvious.

Lin En thought to herself that it is absolutely true that people can be deceived when they are kind.Those children have become accustomed to the long-term kindness. Before the big basket Anjie carried was opened, pairs of small hands reached in and snatched it.

Anjie couldn't stop it at all. Soon the bread inside was empty, and there were still more than 30 children who didn't get any. They looked at her with some dissatisfaction.

She hesitated for a moment, then turned and went to the bakery near the square, bought some more wheat bread, and distributed it to the children.

While everyone was eating their food with smiles, Anjie sat on the stone bench next to the fountain and sighed softly.But looking at the satisfied faces of those children, the sadness on their faces was gradually replaced by smiles.

"There are only 100 people now, but in the future there will be 2000 or 2 people. What will you do?" Lin En, who was hiding in the corner and saw this scene, couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

In previous games, he asked Anjie this way, and Anjie replied that it would be enough to succeed the saint.

The power of the Vatican Saint is second only to the Pope, and is supreme over the imperial power. She can indeed save countless orphans.
But for Linn, who had gone deep into the Holy See, he knew that Anjie had no hope of becoming a saint, and that she was just a puppet used by the gods to harvest faith.

Lin En was thinking, looking at the huge hour hand on the clock tower in the distance.

The assassin will launch the attack at nine o'clock in the evening. The time is now 59:1, which is less than a minute.

He took action.Following the shadow of a patch of grass, he quietly approached Anjie. When the pendulum of the bell tower struck and made a 'dang' sound, a silent blowgun shot from the darkness, aiming at Anjie's unsuspecting face. Snow white neck!
"careful!"

Linn bent down to charge up like a big bow, and he jumped out before the bell sounded!

At this time, in the alley of the bakery, a man in black robe appeared out of thin air, seemingly using an invisibility scroll or something like that.

When he made a move, the invisibility was released and he took out a long dark iron pipe from his sleeve.

He saw Lin En flying towards Anjie and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. How did this person know that he would launch an attack at nine o'clock with the help of the sound of the bell?
The man in black robe couldn't stop, because a silver-haired woman jumped out from the left side of the alley. She had cold eyes and attacked him with two knives.

The hastily shot blow dart did not deviate from the direction and was still aimed at Anjie's neck.But at the critical moment, Lin En hugged the surprised Anjie, and the two of them rolled into the dry pool.

"what are you doing?"

Anjie almost didn't recognize Lin En.

Now he looked completely like an adult. He threw her down with a bear hug. She thought Linn was a cultist who wanted to attack. She covered her chest and looked wary.

It wasn't until the blowgun missed the target and hit the ground with a bang, penetrating several centimeters into the bricks, that Anjie's expression changed.

Linn didn't have time to explain, he got up and rushed towards the alley.

There was a sound of gold and iron clashing inside. It was obvious that Bernice and the others were fighting with the assassin. He only said to Anjie: "The person who attacked you is over there!"

An Jie heard the sound of battle, took out a short white staff, and followed behind Lynn.

When the two rushed over, they saw Bernice chasing a man in black robe away.

The latter was eager to escape, and Bernice's level was slightly lower than that of the other party, so he was unable to retain her immediately.

"Where's Efka?" Linn frowned.

According to the plan, Efka and Bernice should contain the assassins on both sides, and with Anjie joining them, it would be a sure shot.

Thinking of her disapproving attitude when she went to find Efka yesterday, Linn shook his head. Other women are really unreliable.

He and Anjie followed closely behind Bernice, chasing the assassin together.Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting farther and farther, Anjie raised her staff and chanted a spell, "Swiftness!"

A ray of white light fell on Bernice, and her speed immediately increased a lot. She was as light as a swallow, and Anjie used magic again. Her blond hair moved automatically without wind, and a bow of light appeared in her hand.

He stretched his bow and pulled the string, and an arrow of light shot through the air, hitting the assassin in the back!
Linn's eyelids twitched.He had also seen the magic used by Anjie two and a half years ago when the mission failed in the forest!

The witch is indeed her.

Anjie knew nothing about this and did not notice anything strange about Lin En.

It would be really terrible if her kindness was all disguised, and she had been accompanying the children in the slums day after day for so many years in order to create a loving image.

For a moment, Lin En felt a little grudge against Anjie.

The witch must have bad intentions and ulterior motives when approaching him. He was fed up with being deceived by the witch.

If the Anjie he knew was fake, it would seriously hurt his soul.At that time, he will take revenge on Anjie with the cruelest means.

"I hope I'm just overthinking it! Even if Anjie is a witch, who can say that the witch must be bad?"

In her heart, Lin En still wanted to believe Anjie.

Say the other side.

The light arrow seriously injured the assassin and he fell from mid-air.

Bernice cut off the assassin's hamstring with a cold knife, and placed the short knife across the opponent's throat.

Lin En and Anjie rushed over, and several people surrounded the assassin.

The other party seemed to accept his fate and stopped struggling.The masked face revealed only a pair of blue eyes. The man turned his head and looked deeply at Lin En, with helplessness and doubt in his voice, and said, "Why do you know?"
