Witch Monastery

An Nuo secretly said "Pooh" in his heart, then his eyes rolled and he decided to test her.

"Miss Hanny, what is your family doing on the surface this time?" She asked the dark elf in a casual manner.

In response, Hanni smiled and gave a good reason without even preparing a draft: "Of course it's business."

An Nuo's expression changed: "Are you in the poison business? I just heard from Xilin and the others that your family makes purple worm venom?"

Hanni nodded vigorously: "Yes! The quality of our purple worm venom is very good. Miss Annuo, would you like to buy a bottle to try? It will definitely work!"

An Nuo narrowed his eyes and looked faint: "But, Miss Hanni, the enemies faced by the Po Luo Kingdom are either undead or evil demons. They are generally immune to toxins, right?"

"Who are you going to sell these poisons to? Or... is there no buyer at all?"

She keenly caught the loophole in Hanni's words, and then began to pursue it slowly.

Chapter 754: Ekta's Current Situation

Annuo's attitude seemed a bit aggressive. His beautiful eyes stared at Hanni's expression, waiting for her to reveal a flaw and then take advantage of it to attack her.

However, Hannie's expression remained obedient: "It's true that they are immune, but that doesn't stop people from buying them."

"After all, this kind of high-quality poison can also be easily reimbursed at a high price, right?"

She smiled sweetly: "For example, a bottle of purple worm venom, reimbursement of 2,800 gold coins or something, that's not too much, right?"

An Nuo was stunned. He suddenly recalled the many cases of corruption and false accounting in Liber Port. He then imagined that the organization and management of Boro Kingdom was far more backward and ten times looser than that of Liber Port...

She nodded, unable to find any reason to refute: "Well...it's true, um...

... "

She wanted to say something else, but Hanni immediately spoke up, "Everyone is talking about free trade now. We sell here, and the Brahmans are willing to pay for it. Even if the most fair Golden Dragon comes here, he can't say there's something wrong with this kind of transaction, right?"

What An Nuo wanted to say was blocked. She thought for a long time, but could only nod: "Indeed."

Hanni smiled secretly in her heart. Although her expression was still obedient, she knew that in this confrontation, the opponent had lost.

Annuo was unwilling to give up and wanted to ask something else. However, at this moment, a tall figure staggered towards the entrance of their camp.

Hawthorne has returned.

His face looked quite tired, and his clothes were torn and stained with blood. It seemed that he had just experienced another bloody battle and might even have been seriously injured.

The moment she saw her lover, Anno immediately put Hanni's affairs behind her. She leaned over to him distressedly, held his hand, and then the light of holy healing lit up, and the warm holy light continued to heal his body: "Are you okay? Are you okay?"

Hawthorne forced a reassuring smile: "I'm fine, nothing's wrong, the injury isn't serious, it's all been dealt with in advance."

This was the truth. The biggest feeling he had now was just the intense fatigue that appeared in his body after a night of fighting. As for these wounds, they were indeed not serious.

But even so, his appearance could not stop everyone from thinking about it. Kasha also came to his side and looked at him worriedly, and Hanni also ran over, raised her head, her face full of worry: "Father, you..."

An Nuo glanced at the dark elf, feeling somewhat repulsive. Hawthorne nodded to Hanni, and then said, "Don't worry, your elite troops are all safe."

Hearing this, Hanni let out a long sigh, and a heavy heart finally fell: "Great!"

There are too many variables in Witch Night. Even though she is a prophecy wizard, she cannot accurately predict what the final result will be.

This result made her very happy. No matter what the outcome was, at least her relatives were generally safe, and that was the best.

Seeing her delight, Hawthorne added, "The Banrui family is completely wiped out."

Instantly, Hanni's body froze, and then her expression became petrified: "Wha...what?"

She seemed a little bit unconvinced of her ears, and Hawthorne smiled and said, "You heard it right, the Banrui family was wiped out. Uh, you can go back, your mother is waiting for you."

As he said this, Hanni's beautiful eyes widened and her body trembled: "Uh... this... um... I can go now, right?"

She seemed unable to digest this huge amount of information. She held it in for a long time and finally said nothing but nonsense.

Hawthorne nodded again, and the dark elf let out a long breath, said "goodbye", then turned around and left quickly.

An Nuo frowned and looked at her back until the dark elf disappeared into the jungle of the city. Then he turned back and asked in confusion: "What were you talking about just now? Hawthorne, do you have any deal with this dark elf?"

Beside him, Kasa tilted her head slightly and muttered, "House of Banrui, have we heard of this name before?"

Hawthorne nodded: "Yes, I have heard of it. Well, it's a long story..."

The others came forward, and Hawthorne briefly described the whole thing. Of course, he concealed the fact that he had made a deal with Zora to ensure that Sharma would die.

"...In the end, we were unable to save General Sharma." He sighed, "I could only try to remedy the situation and kill all the assassins."

"Although we can't undo everything, at least we can prevent them from threatening other high-ranking officers in the future."

As he said this, everyone present felt heavy in their hearts.

Sharma is dead.

In order to avoid shaking morale, the military of the Pala Kingdom did not announce this news, so An Nuo and others were not aware of it before. Now that they suddenly heard about it, they felt a little dizzy.

"Then, there will be no one to command those holy elephants from now on." Eric couldn't help but sigh, "The battles to come will be difficult."

The atmosphere was silent for a while. Finally, Hawthorne pulled himself together and said with a smile, "No matter what, at least we successfully blocked Ocus's attack last night."

"This is a big victory and worth celebrating. Let's go back and rest first. We can deal with any trouble later!"

Everyone had no objection and returned to their rooms to rest. There was no sign of Celine and Ekta among the people present, so Hawthorne turned his head and looked at Anno: "Ekta, are you okay?"

An Nuo said: "Xilin is taking care of her. She said she is just exhausted and her condition is not serious. As long as she rests for a while, she will be fully recovered."

After a pause, she pursed her lips and offered, "Why don't you go see him?"

Hawthorne glanced at her expression and found that the girl lowered her eyes and did not look at her.

He held An Nuo's little hand and continued, "Let's go and take a look together."

Annuo nodded slightly, and the two of them held hands and came to the door of Celine and Ekta's room. After knocking on the door, Celine opened the door and led them into the room.

There was only one large double bed by the window in this room. Celine was not resting at the moment.

Only Ekta was lying there quietly.

Her fiery red hair spread out on the pure white pillow like a burning flame, and her expression was quite calm, and she seemed to be sleeping very peacefully.

Hawthorne held Annuo's hand and walked to the bed, then took the initiative to reach out and hold Ekta's hand. The familiar burning temperature came, maybe even higher than usual, it was really a bit hot, but even so, Hawthorne did not let go, kept touching, then closed his eyes, and used his consciousness to sense her condition.

Fortunately, he could feel that even though Ekta was hotter than usual, she was not in any danger of losing control. This might be a good thing. Once she got used to her new state, she might even become stronger than before.

Realizing this, he slowly opened his eyes, then nodded and said, "She is indeed fine, Celine, thank you for your hard work, take good care of her."

Xilin nodded, and then Hawthorne took An Nuo's hand and said, "Let's go back."

The two then left side by side and returned to their simple rooms in the camp. At this moment, Hawthorne, who had fought all night, was already very tired, but he knew that today's events were far from over.

The air in the room was a little stuffy. An Nuo walked to the closet, stretched out his hand, and began to take off the plate armor on his body: "Hawthorne, come and help me."

Huo Sang remained silent, walked over to help her take off her armor. He glanced at An Nuo's expression, feeling uncertain. After a long moment, he cautiously asked, "Um... An Nuo?"

"Hmm?" An Nuo glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. "What's wrong?"

"Well..." Hawthorne considered his words, "You...don't you have anything to ask?"

An Nuo tilted his head slightly, and paused for a moment: "For example?"

"For example..." Hawthorne gritted his teeth and continued, "What is Ekta's origin?"

An Nuo paused, lowered her head, and said softly, "Her identity is very sensitive, and it is easy to cause many uncontrollable consequences."

"But I believe in you, dear. When the time is right, you will tell me everything."

Chapter 755: Incomplete Confession

Hawthorne stretched out his arms, hugged the girl in his arms, and whispered: "I'm sorry, dear, I... I didn't want anyone to know this secret and take her true identity to my grave..."

An Nuo curled his lips, stretched out his little fist, and hit him lightly: "But Celine, she must have known Miss Ekta's true identity a long time ago, right?"

Hawthorne was speechless: "...Yes."

"That's what I mean." An Nuo put his hand down and said with a little dissatisfaction, "You can trust her and not tell this secret to anyone, then you should trust me too. We are going to spend our lives together, how can we hide things from each other..."

Hawthorne couldn't refute it, so he lowered his head and could only say, "I'm sorry."

An Nuo did not mean to blame him. She lowered her head and thought for a while. Suddenly she raised her face, stretched out her little hand, held Hawthorne's cheek, and looked up into his eyes: "I know what kind of person you are, dear. I have seen everything you have been doing so far."

"I believe in you. Even if you have a secret and can't tell me, I can understand that you may have your own reasons for not telling me."

"But there shouldn't be any secrets between us. Promise me that you'll tell me all these secrets when the time is right in the future, okay?"

Hawthorne lowered his head and kissed her gently on the cheek: "Well, I can tell you about Ekta now."

An Nuo nodded, and then continued to fiddle with his armor. Hawthorne also retracted his arms and continued to help her take off the plate armor.

While taking off his clothes, he made his tired brain work quickly again, and explained half-truthfully, still with some concealment: "First of all, Ekta is indeed a witch, hiding in the South Port District, doing many evil things and harming countless people."

He knew very well that he couldn't tell the truth completely and without reservation. After all, he couldn't tell anyone about his time travel and the secrets of the system.

Therefore, he had to make up the part related to the witch: "Initially, it was the nuns in the monastery who found her and then controlled her in the monastery."

"Later, I awakened the magical power that can purify evil spirits, so I used this power on her, hoping to completely eliminate her."

"But, I failed. However, the power of purification had an unexpected effect: she was no longer crazy, cruel, or unreasonable. Instead, she began to learn everything about this world like a baby."

"So I had a bold idea, which was to use the teachings and ideas of the Goddess of Life to educate and guide her and put her on the right path."

"And after that... out of gratitude, she made a magic contract with me and shared a portion of her magic power with me."

As he spoke, he sighed, "A big part of the reason why I have an endless supply of mana is that Ekta has been sharing her mana with me."

This was true, but not entirely. After all, there were far more witches than Ekta who provided him with magic power. And if it was just her, the total amount of magic power Hawthorne exerted last night would not be so huge.

But this

There is no way that Annuo could understand these details.

He looked into An Nuo's beautiful blue eyes with a sincere tone, and finally added: "Especially in an environment like last night, as a witch, she has endless magic power, but she can share it with me, which means that I also have endless power."

"I can then continue to use the Banish Slash to banish those giant bull demons..."

An Nuo was slightly surprised: "It turns out to be like this... I thought you were gifted..."

Huo Sang smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly: "How is it possible? I am not the direct descendant of a true god. How could there be such a terrifying power in my bloodline..."

An Nuo nodded slightly, thinking that it was true. Being able to awaken that magical purifying white light was already a very remarkable bloodline. If one added the immense magical power that seemed to have no end, then it was probably a bloodline that only the Son of God could possess.

She lowered her head slightly, thinking in her heart. Basically, it was similar to what she had guessed before. At least now Ekta was indeed a person in the good camp, a reliable comrade who could fight side by side with her.

Thinking of this, she felt relieved.

In fact, deep down in her heart, she had already accepted Ekta's identity and her existence as early as last night.

In her mind, her relationship with Ekta is first and foremost that of close comrades who share the same ideals and fight side by side for the peace and stability of this world, and secondly the difference between humans and witches.

Just as Hawthorne values ​​a person's own qualities more, regardless of whether the other party is a witch, a mummy or a vampire, Annuo, as a paladin, is not so rigid in his thinking.

What made her angry was that Hawthorne had never told her such an important thing before.

If they hadn't encountered an unsolvable crisis last night, he would probably have had to keep Ekta's true identity a secret forever!

Although the identity of "witch" is indeed terrifying, after all, witches generally do evil, take pleasure in playing with and torturing human souls, and finally feed on their souls. They are generally absolutely evil beings. It is understandable that Hawthorne has concerns and hides Ekta's identity from the outside world...

She could understand it, but she couldn't help feeling a little awkward when she thought about it.

Although I told myself that I shouldn’t be angry, when I think about it carefully, I am still a little angry!

She didn't tell me what Celine knew!

She thought about it and became angrier. She pouted and couldn't help but reach out and twist his lower back again: "You should have told me in advance..."

Hawthorne wanted to explain, but Annuo knew that her request was actually quite unreasonable. So she quickly changed the subject and continued, "Then, she will never lose control again, right?"

Hawthorne said quickly, "Of course, you saw what happened last night. The night of the double moon is also known as the 'witch night'. She was safe and sound last night and remained calm the whole time. How could she lose control?"

"Don't worry, she listens to me now and will never do anything bad..."

Hearing this, Annuo breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, she had completely taken off her full set of plate armor, leaving only a close-fitting cloth armor.

"I'm tired." She yawned and began to take off her armor. "Let's take a shower and go to bed."

Although they slept almost the entire day yesterday in preparation for the Witch Night, she was still physically and mentally exhausted after all the fierce fighting that night and suffering many injuries and encountering such a sudden situation.

After getting the answer she wanted, all the worries and tension in her heart were gone, and she felt a little relaxed. Her tense nerves relaxed, and she felt a little drowsy for a while.

Hawthorne nodded, walked to the side of the room, brought over a huge bathtub, then cast the water creation spell and placed a large basin of boiling hot water in it.

An Nuo kicked off his shoes and socks, then reached out and untied his cloth armor one by one and took it off.

Although winter had just passed and the early spring air was still quite chilly, this was Borneo after all and the temperature was still relatively high, so she didn't dress too thickly.

So at this moment, her entire upper body was left with only a black half-bowl style lace bra, which wrapped her towering breasts as white and crystal as snow. The flowery breast flesh and deep ravines were all exposed, emitting a huge attraction, attracting Hawthorne's eyes.
