The Great Arcanist Who Traveled Through the World of American Variety Shows.

Chapter 535: The Priory Banshee
"Interesting, there is actually a nature spirit here." Richard was a little surprised, then rode his horse directly towards the forest.

After passing through some thorn bushes, Richard soon found a clearing in the forest. In that clearing, there was a pool of water like a mirror. On the cliff next to the pool, a gurgling stream flowed down, forming a small waterfall more than ten meters high.

The water hits the smooth rocks, creating thousands of splashes.

Under the sunlight, a rainbow appeared here.

This should have been a peaceful and beautiful scene, but a large amount of black and smelly stains ruined everything.

Several demon hunters in armor were pouring something as sticky as black oil into the pool, and the originally clear water immediately became turbid.

Then the water in the pool suddenly stirred up waves several meters high, as if trying to overturn all these things, but obviously those people had also considered these situations, and a burning arrow shot over instantly.

The sticky black oil rose up instantly.

At this moment, a hazy shadow suddenly appeared above the pool, revealing the outline of a beautiful woman.

——【Stream Banshee! (Weak, exhausted, faith interrupted)】

Race: Nature spirit; Alignment: Good and lawful (Greek gods);
Level: First level; Abilities: Control water flow, blessing, healing, etc.;

The moment it appeared, it stared at the demon hunters in front of it with hatred.

"It is indeed a water monster. Kill these heretic monsters!" a priest from the monastery said coldly.

"The farmer was right. What he encountered in the woods was indeed a heretical monster!" The demon hunter next to him sneered.

Seeing the situation here, Richard has understood that this should be the monastic order and demon hunters formed by the Monotheistic Church, specifically used to hunt pagans and extraordinary species.

This time they learned about the stream banshee from a farmer, and then went hunting after making sufficient preparations.

The farmer was probably lost or in trouble in the woods, and the stream witch helped him. Unfortunately, she didn't know that this would bring disaster to herself.

In the teachings of monotheism, these extraordinary creatures are messengers of the devil. Even if they help themselves, it is only to gain their trust in order to achieve greater goals.

Richard was very clear about the ways in which monotheism and Judaism, which had deep roots in monotheism, repayed their gratitude.

They must be vigilant, and these banshees will seduce their souls, and if they do not repent to the gods, the banshees will take their souls.

If you help them, these people will not think that you helped them, they will think that it was the God they believed in who helped them.

How did the Americans repay the Indians? By sending their scalps to museums.

Xiao Yizi's way of repaying his gratitude was also explosive. Count Bernadotte, who saved six thousand Jews during World War II, was directly assassinated by them.

There are so many examples of the farmer and the snake.

In ancient Greek mythology, there are many similar supernatural creatures, stream sirens, forest sirens or spring elves, which are called natural sirens, also known as fairies. These sirens and elves have a low status in Greek mythology, and their positions are either good or evil.

Most of these fairies and goblins in the forest are not very powerful and are natural spirits. The strongest ones are demigods, and the weaker ones are only slightly stronger than ordinary people.

In Greek mythology, these spring elves and forest fairies often help heroes and lost humans, and should be considered to be in the lawful good camp. Now that a war has broken out between monotheism and polytheism, these supernatural creatures have also been listed by monotheism as monsters that need to be eliminated.

It doesn't matter whether they are good or evil.

Therefore, these polytheistic supernatural creatures are naturally the targets that need to be dealt with.

After discovering the stream banshee, these demon hunters and hermits began hunting her down.

Those black oil-like things were made by the monastic order to deal with supernatural creatures. The raw materials should be petroleum with some things added to restrain supernatural creatures.

Facing the demon hunters and monks of the monastic order who came specifically to deal with him, the stream banshee in front of him was no match at all.

He had almost no power to resist the witcher's attack and soon became covered in wounds.

Seeing this scene, Richard frowned slightly.

He immediately took out a bow and arrow and shot at the monk of the monastic order.

He could clearly sense that the monk from the hermitage was the strongest among these people, and his physical fitness had exceeded the limits of humans. And Richard could sense traces of divine power from him.

'collapse! ’

An arrow shot towards the monk as fast as a meteor in an instant, but the monk from the hermitage reacted very quickly.

As soon as he sensed the danger, he wanted to dodge, but the arrow was too fast. He was hit by the arrow just as he turned halfway. The hermit monk groaned, and without any delay, he rolled to dodge, but the remaining demon hunters were not able to react well.

Several arrows flew out continuously, and in just a moment, the four demon hunters were shot to death.

Seeing this scene, the monks of the monastic order took the opportunity to hide behind a big tree, using the trunk to cover their bodies, hoping to use the interference of the trunk to deal with Richard.

The arrow just now did not cause much damage to him. Under the robe of the monastic order, he was wearing armor.

The bow and arrow in Richard's hand was just an ordinary military bow and arrow, and its power was only mediocre. It could only penetrate the armor and pierce a little flesh, which was not a big injury to them at all.

The monk from the monastic order took cover from the trees and dodged while rushing towards Richard. The two were no more than thirty meters apart, and in just a few breaths, the monk from the monastic order rushed forward.

Soon, with the help of the bushes, the monastic brother rushed to within two or three meters of Richard. Seeing Richard's appearance, the monastic brother did not hesitate at all, and pounced on him as agile as a monkey, and the dagger in his hand stabbed at Richard's throat like a poisonous snake.

The monk of the monastic order was very confident. In his opinion, the man in front of him would not have enough time to drop his bow and arrow and switch to other weapons.

What would happen if a man skilled in archery were approached by a fully armed warrior? He was ready to enjoy the pleasure of the blade piercing his throat.

Just as his weapon was about to stab Richard, a big hand suddenly appeared, and the powerful force did not give him any chance to react.

The monk of the monastic order felt his neck being grabbed, and then a powerful force came. He heard a crisp sound of "crack", and the next second a sharp pain came, and the whole person fell into endless darkness.

The moment he lost consciousness, the only thought left in his mind was that you were cheating.
An elite witch hunting team was easily destroyed.

Looking at the dead monastic, Richard took out a gourd and opened it. Then a ray of light flew out from the monastic's body and was sucked into the gourd.

This world cannot use mid- and high-level magic, so Richard tried another method.

This gourd was the trophy he got when he killed Shuten-doji in the plane of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. This wine gourd can be used as a storage space, and it can also absorb spiritual energy and then condense it into spiritual liquid or jade dew.

Shuten-doji used this gourd to devour the bodies of all the humans and monsters he killed, and then gathered them into spiritual wine to drink.

This is also one of the reasons why his strength improved rapidly.

However, Shuten-doji did not try to distinguish between good and evil, and even refined the flesh and blood together. As a result, a good spiritual treasure was made filthy and its energy mixed by him.

This gourd should only refine spirituality, not flesh and blood. Spirituality is usually the essence of the soul or some extraordinary substances.
The monastic in front of him naturally also had it, and because of his faith, he also had soul essence. Richard used the gourd to collect it and refine it.

After dealing with these people, Richard came to the edge of the pond. The pond was still burning, and the figure of the stream banshee became more illusory.

Seeing this, Richard waved his hand gently, and the burning black oil was lifted up by a force and thrown onto the shore to continue burning.

Without the suppression of the black oil, the situation of the Stream Banshee stabilized.

"Thank you, Master Priest, for saving me!" The stream banshee knelt directly in front of Richard.

"I'm not a priest." Richard said, "You get up first."

The stream banshee was a little surprised to hear Richard's words. In her knowledge, apart from those in monotheistic monastic orders, only the priests of polytheistic religions could use magical powers.

The sacrifices of polytheism basically have extraordinary powers bestowed by gods, and the sacrifices are the spokespersons of gods on earth.

It is only in recent decades that the number of polytheistic sacrifices has been decreasing, and a large number of polytheistic temples have been closed, demolished, or directly converted into monotheistic temples.

And those priests were also hunted by the polytheists.

"My lord, what do you want me to do?" the stream banshee stood up and asked.

"I want to know the current situation of the gods." Richard asked.

"I'm sorry, sir, I haven't received any oracle from the gods for decades." The stream banshee said in a lost tone.

In Greek mythology, natural spirits such as stream sirens are responsible for conveying the will of the gods. Now even they cannot sense the existence of the gods, so it is very likely that the gods have been cut off from the faith of the human world.

Having lost their faith, the gods are likely to have fallen into a deep sleep.

It seems that this war of gods has come to an end.

"What are you going to do next?" Richard asked.

"Master Priest, I can't leave here. Do you have any way to take me away?" said the stream banshee in surprise.
