Witch Monastery

As he spoke, he swept his eyes around the area and continued slowly, "But I am not a native of Nangang District after all, so I don't know the specific situation here. Just like the people on this list, I don't know most of them, but you should know at least one or two of them."

He pointed to the whiteboard behind him and said, "So many things still need to be considered.

"I want to hear your opinions. Please don't be shy and feel free to speak your mind. Please raise your hands before speaking."

He needed the nuns to think, speak, discuss and argue. He believed that only by debating the correct truth in person could one establish firm beliefs.

However, after hearing this, the nuns looked at each other, at a loss. They could not understand what Hawthorne meant for a moment, and did not understand what he wanted to do.

What is this doing? Let us speak up and express our opinions?

Can't you just come up with a result yourself, then give us an order and let us execute it?

Why do we have to do this?

The nuns could not understand Hawthorne's intentions. Such behavior was too advanced for that era.

Looking at the confused expressions of the girls, Hawthorne sighed secretly in his heart, and then said: "Don't be so nervous, just speak freely. After all, I don't understand the situation, so I need your experience as support to make the right decision."

Having said this, he felt that these words alone might not be enough, so he continued: "The Goddess of Life cares for every intelligent life equally and respects their thoughts and desires, so please express your thoughts as much as possible."

"Only by taking kindness as our guide and gathering the wisdom of all of us can we truly walk the path that the goddess desires."

His persuasion was so earnest that it was almost like talking nonsense. He had never read any of the books of the Goddess of Life in full, and he only had a general understanding of the goddess's thoughts.

But this does not prevent him from taking this as a starting point and then extending it arbitrarily to achieve his own goals.

Anyway, none of the nuns present had really read the goddess's scriptures in full, and most of them barely knew a few words. Their cultural studies were still at the literacy stage, so naturally no one dared to stand up and question Hawthorne's authority.

So naturally, that's what he said.

In short, under his coaxing and deception, finally, a nun from the Life Realm who had not participated in the extermination operation this morning mustered up the courage, raised her right hand, and said, "I think we should increase our efforts!"

Hawthorne looked at her encouragingly: "Go on."

The girl took a deep breath and said, "I think I know the smuggler that Sister Carol met this morning. That guy has been entrenched in Nangang District for many years. He is an absolute scourge and deserves to be killed long ago!"

"I have heard about his many disgusting evil deeds a long time ago, but because of his huge power and his close and unclear relationship with Xiao Wan, no one has been able to deal with him."

Chapter 416 Cleansing the Nangang District

As she spoke, the nun gnashed her teeth and her eyes turned red. "Everyone on this list is a bastard like him! My parents, relatives, brothers and sisters, and so on, whoever wants to work honestly and live a normal life, will inevitably be bullied by them!"

"They have been bullying us for so many years, it's time for them to pay us back!"

Obviously, her words had infected the other girls. Many nuns also raised their hands, pointed at the whiteboard and gnashed their teeth: "That 'Sea Dog' Bob, my father was beaten and his bones were broken by them because he didn't want to buy their smuggled harpoons!"

"I know that crazy woman Judy. She is not just a brothel owner. She doesn't sell drugs herself, but she deliberately makes some girls addicted to drugs, and then takes them to her hotel to be prostitutes!"

"They have killed countless people! These people are no more deserving of forgiveness than drug dealers. They should be punished!"

"We are their retribution. The goddess gave us power so that we can take revenge!"

……

The nuns talked one after another, listing the real crimes committed by those criminals who seemed to have "less serious crimes".

These are the things on the list that cannot be seen on the surface, but in fact, the sins of these people are equally innumerable!

Looking at the indignant girls, Hawthorne's eyes were slightly dimmed, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

He was born in a peaceful era and grew up in a big city with good public security. Therefore, he lacks imagination about the viciousness of these dark forces and always has a trace of undue mercy.

But now, for the loyalty and zeal of the Sisters of Battle, it is time to make a decision.

"Okay, then let's vote by raising our hands." He pointed to the whiteboard behind him, where the densely packed list was, and said, "If you agree that all the people on this list should be killed, without sparing a single one, please raise your hands."

All the girls raised their hands without any hesitation.

Hawthorne nodded slightly: "Okay, then, at this moment, the way to practice the Goddess's path is to impose punishment!"

"We will kill all the people on this list, leaving no one alive!"

……

A huge bloody storm slowly unfolded in the South Port District. This time, not only the witches and the battle nuns took action, but even Hawthorne personally went out, wielding his newly acquired double-headed sword, killing people in the South Port District and causing blood to flow like a river.

They acted too quickly and were too ruthless, leaving no one behind. Therefore, no force on the list could escape this purge.

This bloody storm started quickly and ended quickly. Because the killing was so fast, not even the news was heard immediately.

go with.

It was not until a few days later that residents of Nangang District finally sensed something was wrong. It was really quiet during those days.

How come those hooligans who used to come to our house to harass us every now and then and made us feel annoyed have disappeared these days?

So some people started their own investigation, and gradually, they discovered that hidden under the calm surface, such a horrific massacre had actually taken place. These dark forces that had once made everyone miserable had actually been secretly wiped out.

Leave no one behind.

When the news began to spread and consensus gradually formed, a huge shock immediately rocked the entire Nangang District.

"So... they really killed them all?"

In Xiao Wan's office at the Nangang District Guard Team, the huge guard captain sat on a chair, listening to the report from the informant across the table, and felt himself trembling all over.

"Yes, Sheriff."

The lean and capable man on the other side also had a trembling voice, not daring to believe his own findings: "I haven't checked whether all their subordinates are dead. But what is certain is that all the leaders and key cadres on the list have indeed been brutally murdered."

Shawn's forehead was covered with sweat. He took out a handkerchief and wiped it gently. His heart was chilled. As the saying goes, "birds of a feather flock together." Even though he was in a regular position, he always dealt with various underworld forces and took money from unknown sources. Subconsciously, he also regarded himself as the same as these underworld leaders.

A criminal who makes a living by oppressing kind people.

He took several deep breaths, his voice rough, as if he was having an asthma attack. It took him a long time to calm down, and then he continued: "Then according to your estimate, the number of casualties this time..."

"There should be about five hundred people." said the spy.

Chauvin was in near cardiopulmonary arrest.

Five hundred people!

Even more people died than the monster incident half a year ago!

And this, this ratio...

Damn, are there still 50,000 permanent residents in Nangang District?

After all, this place is too poor, the only source of livelihood is fishing, and they also face competition from the Amazon people.

Many fishermen cannot make a living just by fishing. The population here is declining rapidly every year. People would rather go to Donggang District to work as porters than continue to live here.

Many houses in the slums have long been empty, with only the old, weak, sick and disabled still living there. Moreover, such a big incident happened half a year ago, and the earthquake two months ago caused some houses to collapse. Both of these incidents caused a large number of people to migrate. It is not certain that Nangang District can still have 50,000 residents now!

And this guy killed one percent in just a few days!

Now, the blood debt of these five hundred people will be pinned on Xiao Wan!

After all, it was he who, on behalf of the Nangang District security guards, called for the campaign to eliminate the cultists. The notice was still posted on the notice board outside the District Hall, and the newspapers had already reported on it.

And internally, he also provided Hawthorne with the detailed list and information of the various black forces in Nangang District, so that he could target them...

He couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling and his heart trembling. The more he thought about the result, the more he felt his whole body trembling!

"Isn't he a believer of the Goddess of Life? How could he kill people like this!" He suddenly roared, and then punched the solid wood table in front of him, "Isn't he afraid that his God will punish him for doing this?"

In front of him, the spy took a deep look at the emotionally broken Shawan: "His god died a long time ago."

However, he did not look down on his boss. After all, when he came to this conclusion, he couldn't help but break down emotionally.

After all, he had been bribed by smugglers and had sex with drug-addicted prostitutes. He was grateful to these people in his heart. Without them, he would not have been able to enjoy luxury every day and play with such beautiful young girls at will.

"Moreover, Sheriff," the man pondered, and added, "Rather than being a follower of the Goddess of Life, he should first be... a powerful adventurer who destroyed the Lord of the Abyss."

Xiao Wan was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses. Even though his heart was pounding like thunder, he felt that the matter was not so unacceptable.

"That's right. Only a ruthless person like this can accomplish the feat of killing the demon lord."

He sighed, picked up his handkerchief again, and wiped away the sweat that was seeping out of his forehead. "How cruel! Haha! I absolutely can't be so cruel as to kill more than 500 people in one breath..."

“There are only so many people in Nangang District… Otherwise, they are people who have done great things and are destined to go down in history, whether it is a good name or a bad name. Unlike us, we are destined to be unknown and it’s good enough for us to be able to live our own small lives, hehehe…”

He laughed awkwardly, releasing his mental stress. After a long while, he finally let out a long breath and managed to calm down. "Pack up your things and go visit Father Hawthorne and have lunch with him."

"After causing such a big mess, we have to find a decent way to end it..."

Chapter 417 The Aftermath

In the sewers of Liber Harbor, in the secret lair of the Shannasa Guild.

“This… bastard!”

The Eye Demon Shannasa closed all of her eyes and used magic to communicate with her subordinates. But soon, her huge main eye opened again, and her eyes flashed with endless anger.

A few days ago, a new deal was reached with Madam Casalant to discredit Nigel Hawthorne, the follower of the Goddess of Life and the hero who eliminated Mompot.

So after that, it sent another group of subordinates to Nangang District, preparing to take back the territory there.

Firstly, although that place is extremely poor and you can't make much money, it is also chaotic enough. Chaos can produce ruthless people who are willing to risk their lives. It can have enough subordinates to stir up trouble in this city.

Secondly, although the slums in Nangang District have inconvenient transportation and the spread of information is not very advanced, it seems to be a bit counterproductive to start smearing from here.

But the lack of information is both an obstacle and a protection, allowing him to manipulate rumors and shape public opinion here without worrying about being discovered by those reporters in other districts with a keen sense of smell.

In this way, when the title is awarded at the end of the year, when tabloid reporters go to Nangang District for interviews, they will be greeted by a public opinion environment that is extremely unfavorable to Hawthorne.

These "black materials from Hawthorne's hometown" are naturally more credible to people in other districts, businessmen, officials and nobles who don't know him, and the blow to his reputation is naturally more fatal.

This is Shannasa's long-term plan. Having been in the black world for a long time, she is very familiar with this and wants to uproot Hawthorne.

But it never expected that the Black Rod Tower would suddenly go crazy and join forces with the Mithril Hall to launch a severe crackdown. Not only did it lose most of its personnel in the South Port District, but even its deployment in several other districts also suffered a devastating blow!

In this way, not only will the deal between it and Mistress Casalant fail to be reached, but even his own position will be in jeopardy!

"Who is it-who on earth-!"

It screamed loudly, and anger filled the Eye Demon's conceited heart. It vowed to make the culprit of all this pay the price!

Although it doesn't dare to provoke the great magicians of the Black Rod Tower, it must repay a hundredfold those who dare to take such a fatal action in Nangang District!

"It's impossible that Xiao Wan did it. That coward who forgets his loyalty for the sake of profit can't have such a cruel hand. Even if he suddenly went crazy and took other people's heads to lick his boss's hemorrhoids, he can't have such power!"

Even though the desire for revenge dominated his mind, the beholder did not lose his basic intelligence: "The real perpetrator must be someone else. Find out who is so bold!"

"We must make it pay the price!"

It roared and gnashed its teeth, and in its rage it decided on its next course of action.

At this moment, another sinister voice suddenly came into its mind: "Great Shannasa, it looks like you are in some trouble."

"How about it? Would you like to consider our proposal again and use your dreams to conduct a great experiment?"

Sanasa calmed down immediately, but her tone was still gritting her teeth: "Mind Flayer, cut off your mind connection!"

Beholders are a very special type of large monsters, and their dreams have the powerful power to rewrite reality: for example, if a beholder dreams that it is dead, then in reality it will immediately transform into an undead creature, a powerful death-eye tyrant.

For example, the way beholders reproduce is to meet another strange beholder in a dream. When they wake up, they will find a new beholder appearing out of nowhere, and that one is its offspring.

Considering that all beholders are extremely stubborn and arrogant, new beholders often clash with old ones, and it's a life-and-death battle, and in the end only one can survive.

Of course, even the Eye Demon cannot control himself from dreaming, or control the specific content of his dreams.

Based on the above characteristics, beholders tend to both reject and look forward to their own dreams.

Now, a group of mind flayers have found Sanasa and want to use their psychic powers to try to control her dreams in order to conduct some dangerous experiments.

They long for all of this and want to try it out to see what kind of power would be unleashed if the innate power of the beholders collided with the mental magic of the mind flayers.

Shannasa naturally refused. After all, dreams were related to her life and future, so how could she hand them over to a group of evil mind flayers she didn't even know?

This time, too, the angry beholder had just refused, but the voice of the mind flayer rang out again: "Please don't be in a hurry to refuse, dear beholder. Perhaps our experiment can help you master the power of chaotic energy."

"For example, let you dream of a future in which you master the energy of chaos..."

Suddenly, the Mind Flayer's voice hesitated.

Chaos energy is the raw material used by the gods to create the material world. It is also the source of the endless and indestructible demons in the abyss.

Such a great power naturally coveted Shannasa. However, this power was also very dangerous. If you try it rashly...

Totally worth it!

The Eye Demon had an idea in mind, and then its harsh voice slowly sounded: "You need to accept the supervision of my subordinates, Mind Flayer!"

"If you dare to do anything illegal, I will have my subordinates kill you immediately!"

Over there, the voice of the Mind Flayer came slowly: "No problem, honorable Eye Demon."
