Becoming a god by raising witches

He thought so.

The man in black robes took out a brown paper bag, wrapped the two eyeballs, which were still stained with blood, and handed it to the black cat, Eileen.

Eileen didn't reach out to take it, but instead glanced at Locke.

Locke immediately took the brown paper bag, quickly wrapped it up, and put it in his coat pocket.

This item is a treasure worth 300 gold coins, with a premium of 200 gold coins!

Although the practice of harvesting eyes from living donors is unacceptable.

Eileen tossed the witch's red crystal necklace to the man in black. The man quickly put the necklace on, seemingly afraid that Eileen might change her mind at any moment, and looked around warily.

Locke didn't feel that his charm had increased; he still felt that this was a terrifying-looking being who exuded a putrid stench and that he didn't want to get close to at all.

Black cat Eileen turned and left, with Locke following behind.

She suddenly jumped onto Locke's shoulder.

"Go faster."

Locke understood immediately and quickened his pace.

As they passed a small tent selling various amulets, the witch casually took a leaf-vein-shaped amulet and stuck it on Locke.

"what is this?"

Locke asked.

The next second, Locke felt a change in his body.

"The invisibility talisman will last long enough for us to leave the Deer Black Market."

Locke and Eileen had just become invisible when the man in black robes, his eyes red, chased after them. The red crystal necklace around his neck had turned into vines.

Behind him, the merchants from the herbal medicine shop also chased after him.

"Did you see a man with a black cat?"

"Damn it, he just manipulated me and took my medicine for free!"

"That damn bastard, where did he run off to?"

The already narrow alleyway instantly descended into chaos.

The men in black robes and the herbalists didn't miss a single tent, transforming into the most dedicated law enforcement officers. In their search for the "culprit," they disrupted the business of many vendors, drawing a chorus of complaints.

Locke heard the fat shopkeeper selling amulets laugh.

"Even a cunning hunter reeking of decay can be fooled? Hahaha, foolish herbalist merchants, if you had half my wisdom, you wouldn't have dropped anything."

The portly boss carefully collected all his talismans, his smooth forehead gradually furrowing. His round body spun around like a groundhog, his hands clenched into fists, his cheeks flushed.

"Shameless thief! Shameless thief! Shameless thief!!!"

The fat boss's roar could be heard almost throughout the entire street.

Locke swallowed hard and continued walking toward the back door of the tavern without stopping.

Finally, before the angry crowd arrived, he knocked on the back door of the Montegro tavern.

Chapter 33, Potions and Ritual

The bald boss peeked out in confusion, and after confirming that no one was knocking, he planned to close the door and go back to sleep.

A strange gust of wind blew by, and he felt as if he had been bumped, causing the fat on his stomach to tremble slightly.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a group of hooded men rushing toward his tavern. They had ferocious faces and reeked of decay.

The bald boss remembered the strange gust of wind from earlier and suddenly understood. He slammed the door shut.

By this time, Locke had already passed through the tavern and arrived at the familiar Pete Street.

The invisibility talisman also failed, and he reappeared in everyone's sight.

Without thinking twice, Locke grabbed the black cat Eileen and ran away.

Back at Old Tom's apartment, his legs went weak, and he plopped down on the sofa, panting heavily.

Hannah looked at Locke in confusion, "Where's the food?"

"Sorry, Hannah, I ran into a group of people who wanted to kill me, and I forgot to buy groceries."

Locke wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Hannah thought her brother was telling another lame joke. She wondered if his irreverent personality had been influenced by Para and the others.

Once the debt is paid off, who will still hunt Locke down?

Could it be Uncle Martin and Kay?

The serious Hannah simply picked up the newspaper and continued studying, ignoring Locke.

Locke poured himself a glass of water, only then remembering something very important.

"Xiao Ai, we didn't buy the Seven-Colored Rose Heart!"

He whispered to Eileen.

The black cat licked its paws.

"It's alright, we can find a substitute for the Seven-Colored Rose Heart."

"what?"

"Cheese."

"Eileen said calmly."

"Cheese?"

Locke's face showed astonishment.

"You mean the cheese bread that you can buy for 5 mcg?"

Eileen nodded slowly.

Locke immediately drank some ice water to calm his nerves. "You mean the Seven-Colored Rose Heart, worth 1000 gold coins, can be replaced by a cheese bread worth 5 coins?"

"Yes, but this kind of secret knowledge is only known to a witch as knowledgeable as myself."

Eileen proudly raised her cat head, and her tail stood up.

If it weren't for her "praise me" look, Locke would have thought she was indeed a knowledgeable and unfathomable witch.

"sharp."

To cooperate with Eileen, Locke still uttered the word.

"There's nothing to brag about; it's just a little bit of trivial occult knowledge."

Eileen's tail curled up even higher.

She continued, "Because we're not exchanging bodies permanently. If it were a permanent exchange, we'd need the heart of a seven-colored rose. If we're only exchanging bodies for a day or two, a piece of cheese is perfectly sufficient."

"So that's it."

Locke had many questions in his mind, and taking advantage of her good mood, he asked them directly.

"Why did the black-robed man smell so bad before? Must the eyes of the Illusion Rabbit be taken alive?"

"He was a cursed hunter. Hunters are people who make a living by hunting these strange animals. Sometimes they are cursed by their targets while hunting, and he was one of the unlucky ones."

Eileen said, "The Magic Rabbit is a magical and strange creature. Its eyes turn to stone 24 hours after being removed from its body, so they need to be taken alive. Moreover, they will grow new eyes after a year. Catching a Magic Rabbit is like having a mobile treasure chest. That unlucky hunter was most likely cursed when he caught this rabbit."

Locke felt that his knowledge of the occult had increased once again.

At the same time, he also felt a sense of guilt, thinking that the unlucky hunter was really unlucky, not only suffering from the curse but also losing 300 gold coins.

"What's the story with that necklace?"

"It's just a little trick, you won't be able to learn it."

Eileen doesn't seem to be planning to explain this in detail.

Locke discovered that the red crystal pendant, imbued with the witch's aura, was still hanging around his neck.

I'm becoming more and more fascinated by Eileen's various strange abilities.

Of course, after he completes his studies, he will never do such a disreputable job as a thief.

At this moment, Hannah, who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, slowly put down the newspaper, revealing a pair of intelligent eyes.

Those beautiful eyes were now narrowed into slits.

Yes, she overheard her younger brother Locke talking to the black cat Xiao Ai, and they were whispering to each other.

She strongly suspected that her younger brother had become obsessed with witches and developed a delusion that he mistook cats for witches, and was already communicating with cats uncontrollably.

She couldn't imagine the future scene where Locke would bring a group of stray cats home, name them all, tell them stories every day, and respectfully call them Witches.

Hannah's body trembled slightly, and she crumpled the newspaper in her hand.

When Locke turned to look at her, she immediately held up the crumpled newspaper to cover her pretty little face.

She decided to observe Locke closely during this period and, if his condition worsened, immediately send him to a mental hospital.
