Witch Monastery

As he said this, he took a deep breath and continued, "We have made a particularly important discovery here. Tell Heidi to seal off the scene. We need to ask someone more powerful to come forward and solve the problem here!"

……

At this time, outside the theater, Heidi was walking among the crowd, maintaining order here.

Some nobles wanted to leave as soon as possible, but her words "the real culprit of the arson has not been found yet, whoever leaves may be a suspect" made these guys gnashed their teeth in anger, but they could do nothing.

She walked like this, observing the crowd and striking down troublemakers.

She noticed that there was a girl wearing a dancer's costume as gorgeous as a peacock. She was not sitting with her fellow troupe members. Instead, she was sitting alone in a corner, hugging her knees and trembling all over.

Obviously, she was terrified. This kind of situation should be very common after a fire, but Heidi keenly smelled something unusual.

If she was really scared, she should be with her friends. Why was she sitting here alone?

Unless...she feels guilty!

Heidi's eyes were slightly vague. She actually had a certain ability to sense people's emotions and thoughts, so it was very appropriate to put her here at this moment.

She then walked over, stood beside the girl, bent down, and said softly: "What's wrong with you? Are you scared? You can tell me."

Seeing her coming, the girl shrank back in fear and shook her head: "I'm fine, Sister, please don't worry about me, I'm just a little, uh..."

She was talking incoherently, and Heidi became even more certain that the girl was up to something.

Are you kidding? I am now on the stage as a nun of the Goddess of Life. We care for all intelligent lives equally. What kind of person would be afraid when seeing me?

Thinking of this, Heidi squatted down, opened her arms, hugged her body, and used her warm embrace to relax her.

At the same time, she tried to soothe her frightened heart with a gentle tone: "Don't be afraid, girl. Tell me what your worries and fears are."

"The goddess of life will listen to your troubles, and if you sincerely repent, she will forgive your sins."

She comforted him so gently, and at the same time she used her own spiritual magic. As a witch of the deep sea, she knew some spells that could affect people's minds, which she used to disturb the pilot's mind at sea, so as to make his ship deviate from the course.

Although these abilities can only be used against some mortals with weak mental resistance, they cannot play a big role in actual combat of the same level.

But the dancer in front of him was just a mortal who didn't know any magic, so it was completely enough to control her and make her speak her mind!

Under her spiritual suggestion, the girl in front of her gradually let down her guard and began to tell her own experience: "I thought that tonight would be the same as usual, and I could leave after singing. When they said there were prizes for me, I was very happy..."

"But I didn't expect that this was a trap... That room was actually the noble's bedroom, and they wanted me to sleep with that fat man..."

"I'm so scared, I'm really scared. I was hiding like that, but I didn't expect to face something like this..."

"And at that moment, I heard a voice asking me if I wanted to take revenge on the fat man... I agreed, and then I chanted the spell..."

"I didn't expect that I would be able to cast a spell and kill him directly... I really didn't mean to do that. I didn't intend to kill a noble..."

The girl began to sob quietly, and her emotions, which had just been calmed down, collapsed again at this moment. Heidi's expression was serious. From her fragmentary description just now, she had roughly understood what the girl had encountered.

Chapter 501: Vajra's Private Token

What the girl heard was probably the devil's voice of temptation. The other party seized her psychological flaw and secretly tricked her into agreeing to sign some kind of soul contract. In exchange for some of her spellcasting abilities, he took away the ownership of her soul after death!

In other words, this girl is most likely a sorcerer, just like Hawthorne. But the difference is that after her death, her soul will not be taken away by the gods she believes in, but will go to hell and become a pawn of the devils!

Heidi thought so, but did not tell her this cruel reality. She continued to use magic to disturb the girl's mind in order to heal her inner pain.

The girl's fear gradually calmed down, and Heidi continued: "What kind of power are you using? Can you show it to me?"

"This way, I can help you better..."

As she persuaded, the girl sniffed, then reached out and grabbed a small stone on the ground: "That's it, like this, Chill Touch..."

As she finished the spell, a powerful freezing force suddenly appeared. Under the extreme cold contraction, cracks began to appear on the surface of the stone, and finally it completely shattered!

Heidi narrowed her eyes slightly; she had already recognized what this spell - strictly speaking, a trick - was.

Frost Touch does not require any mana consumption and is a simple trick that almost any spellcaster can perform.

She then asked, "Anything else?"

The dancer shook her head: "No, that voice only told me this..."

Hearing this, Heidi couldn't help but sigh.

Just such a trick that any spellcaster can perform was used to steal away a young girl's most precious soul!

Soul, you are so precious that both the gods in heaven and the devils in hell covet you.

Soul, you are so cheap that a tiny bit of insignificant spellcasting ability can completely deceive you!

She sighed in her heart, and then looked around and found that not many people noticed this place, so she helped the girl up and said, "You go first.

Don't be afraid, follow me, you will be fine."

"Father Hawthorne will teach you how to atone for your sins..."

She said this and then took the girl through the crowd back to the base camp of the battle nuns, found Yuta, and secretly told her to hide and keep a good eye on the girl.

Then she found Cuibisi, told her what she had discovered, and asked her to find a way to continue searching among the crowd with her for these girls who suddenly gained powerful spellcasting powers and committed the crime of killing nobles.

The nuns tried not to make a big noise, and everything was done quietly in the dark. These people were secretly transferred and protected, or controlled, by the combat nuns...

At this moment, no one knew that in the sky, a black meteor quietly streaked across the sky and fell into the theater in front...

Just now, Hawthorne contacted Annuo using the communication stone. The latter sounded like he had fallen asleep and was a little bit resentful about him waking him up.

However, when he told her about his discovery, especially that Mephistopheles, the incarnation of the devil, was most likely hiding in Port Liber, the girl suddenly lost all sleepiness. She got up immediately and contacted the Black Staff Lady Vajra with her emergency communication device.

Then, out of sight of everyone, a meteor streaked across the sky and entered the Casarant family's theater.

At this time, in the basement on the first floor below the theater, Hawthorne and three others were guarding the altar, waiting anxiously.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long. Soon, accompanied by a ray of light, Vajera, wearing a black great magician robe and holding a black staff, appeared in this small room.

Her long pale hair was disheveled, and if you looked closely, you could see some wet marks on it, which showed that she must have been planning to rest, but was forced out by Hawthorne to handle official business.

However, she did not seem to be impatient at all. Her blood-red eyes looked at Hawthorne, and then locked onto the altar in front of her: "Is this it?"

There was no nonsense and everything was done cleanly and efficiently.

Hawthorne nodded solemnly: "That's it. Please ask Madam Blackstaff to investigate and decide for herself."

Vajera then stepped forward, silently chanting a spell, and the dark artifact in her hand emitted invisible magical fluctuations. Hawthorne, Celine and others all took a step back, and even the usually lively Kasa didn't dare to breathe at this moment.

Seeing that Vajera in front of them didn't seem to have any intention of paying attention to them, the girl felt a little relieved. Then she poked Huo Sang's waist and whispered, "Who is she? She looks so powerful..."

Hawthorne glanced at Vajera's back and explained to Kasa in a low voice: "She is the highest person in charge of the security of Libel Port and the holder of the artifact 'Black Staff'. We generally respect her as 'Lady Black Staff'."

Kassa nodded quietly, looking at Vajera's back with awe. Hawthorne also quietly observed the legendary mage with a curious look, hoping to see a completely different side of her in reality.

In front, Vajera closed her eyes and sensed for a while before opening them again, her expression more solemn than ever before.

Obviously, she can now be sure that there is indeed an incarnation of a great being who came to Port Liber through this altar and now no one knows where he is.

And based on the shape of the altar in front of him, there is more than a 90% probability that this is a devil duke from the Nine Hells!

She then turned around, her beautiful eyes fixed on Hawthorne, and she opened her red lips and said, "You did a good job, Earl Nigel Hawthorne. This is indeed a considerable threat to the city."

Hawthorne bowed his head slightly: "Protecting the safety of the city has always been my responsibility."

Vajra stared at him, her mind reminiscing about her conversation with Leila Silverhand.

People like him who have made outstanding contributions to the safety of the city must be rewarded. His title of earl was a reward for destroying the Abyss Lord, but he has not yet been rewarded for destroying the Shannasa Guild and handing over the proceeds of corruption from the former city lord.

Add to that what happened today, one thing at a time, I have to give him something...

Vajera's character was so straightforward that she was determined not to attribute all these rewards to the "country title". Moreover, Leila Silverhand's words touched her deeply. If those who made contributions did not receive enough rewards, then those who were not worthy of the position would take these things openly.

Then, she reached out her hand, and the space next to her automatically cracked. She reached her hand in and took out a black pentagonal token: "But no matter what, this is your contribution to the city."

As she spoke, she took a step forward, causing a faint fragrance to blow towards Hawthorne's cheek: "This is my personal communication stone. If you have any questions in the future, you can contact me directly through it."

"I hope that the communication between us can remain open so that we can support each other as soon as a crisis strikes."

Chapter 502: The Conception of the Sister of Redemption

Vajera's words were very beautiful, and she showed Hawthorne enough respect. When the latter saw that thing, his heart was immediately filled with surprise.

Black Rod Order!

Rounded off, it is equivalent to Vajra's private phone number, and from now on I can talk to her directly!

This thing should

It should be extremely difficult to win, because it not only requires a very high personal favor with Vajra, but also requires your own strength to be strong enough, and the power of the monastery to grow to a certain extent - after all, the Black Rod Tower itself is an extremely high military organization, and if you don’t have a high enough status, it is impossible for you to talk directly to its leader!

But Vajra gave this to him and said that they would "support each other" in the future. At least on the surface, she had put Hawthorne on the same level as herself!

Hawthorne was flattered, and then he reached out and took the token: "Of course, I hope our communication can remain smooth!"

As he said this, looking at the token in his hand, he couldn't help but feel dazed.

This is something that is difficult to obtain before reaching Legend for players who choose not to join the Black Rod Tower and develop on their own.

After all, Vajera herself is a legendary spellcaster, so before becoming a legendary, it is almost impossible to have an equal conversation with her.

However, I am only level 10 now...

He felt incredible, as if he was dreaming. But Vajera didn't seem to think it was that important, and continued, "By the way, Earl Hawthorne, you didn't tell anyone else about what happened here, did you?"

Hawthorne came back to his senses and shook his head: "No, now apart from the four of us and Miss Anno, no sixth person knows about the arrival of the Devil Archduke."

Vajera nodded: "That's the best. This news needs to be kept secret, otherwise it might cause panic."

She then looked around and said, "I will restore this place and create the illusion that no one has ever been here. You and I will both conduct an investigation in secret. Before we catch the devil, remember not to alert him!"

Hawthorne nodded to show that he understood. Then the three of them turned around, walked up the stairs, went through the damaged door, and left quickly.

Vajera restored everything here, and even the big iron gate that was destroyed by Hawthorne was repaired by her using the repair technique.

Finally, her body turned into a stream of light and left secretly without disturbing anyone.

Everything in the basement returned to silence, and no one knew that someone had just obtained important information here...

Here, with the unexpected huge gain, Hawthorne and the two girls walked out together. The surprise came too suddenly and unexpectedly, and he was a little bit unbelievable now, so that his steps were light and he walked unsteadily.

It was not until he walked out of the theater and came outside, feeling the cold night wind, that he finally sobered up a little.

Ah, it seems that there is still a huge difference between reality and games. I didn’t expect that after these things, Vajera would be willing to give me her personal contact information.

In that case, after some time, when I can find a reason, can I propose to her to become my clan leader and share some of her spellcasting abilities with me?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, and he couldn't help but get excited. He had no idea that Vajra felt like she owed him something, so even if he had said it just now, she wouldn't have refused...

But Hawthorne didn't know all this. After his excitement was extinguished by the cold wind, he suppressed the hot fantasies in his heart, raised his hand, and began to follow the hint of the mark on the back of his hand, and began to look for those who had made a contract with the devil.

No matter what, these people cannot be left alone. They must be controlled first, and then they can take the initiative whether they are sent to the court of justice or something else.

With this in mind, he took the initiative to search. But when he approached a certain direction, the mark on the back of his hand suddenly jumped several times with the same strength.

This means that now, all the contractors are gathered in the same direction, and the distance between them and him is almost the same.

Suddenly, Hawthorne frowned.

These people actually gathered together in a group?

Wait, could it be that my previous judgment was wrong, and there is some other inside story here, and these guys are actually organized?

After all, these people have signed contracts with the devil, and they probably all have powerful spellcasting abilities. Now that they are gathered together, it is hard not to make Hawthorne wonder who is leading them and plotting a bigger conspiracy.

He did not dare to delay and waved to Celine and Kassa, indicating that they were also ready for battle. Then he accelerated suddenly and rushed forward in the direction of the sensation.

However, when he arrived and saw the scene before him, his expression was extremely shocked.

How did this...get mixed up with my witches?

When he rushed here, Jutta, who was in charge of the girls, naturally saw him. Suddenly, her eyes lit up: "Lord...Father, you are back."

Hawthorne walked up to her and said seriously, "What's going on with these girls?"

Jutta then told Hawthorne everything about Heidi's discovery and the order she issued. Hawthorne, who suddenly realized the truth, let go of his guard and looked at these girls with sympathy in his eyes.

At this moment, Cuibisi came over with another girl in the distance. After settling her down, she also came over and stood beside Hawthorne: "Lord...Father, you should understand the situation?"

"Heidi said that with your personality, you would choose to help them, so she asked us to gather them all together."

Hawthorne couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that Heidi really understood me. However, it might be a bit difficult to help them. After all, no matter

How come they all killed many nobles...

After a moment's silence, he turned his head and looked at Cuibisi, then asked, "In our Libel Port, is there a precedent where a criminal avoids the death penalty by joining the church and atones for his sins by working for the church and doing good deeds?"

Although he was an old player, he didn't really understand the details of many of the rules and regulations of Libel Port. All he could think about all day was how to optimize his combat power and push through the abyss in a shorter time...

cough!
