Witch Monastery

It's a pity that this smile was not noticed by the nervous Andrea for the time being.

"Okay, now that everyone is here."

At the front, Hawthorne also

Nodding: "Well, let's start the meeting now."

"First, Nidalee, you tell me about the rubble area."

At the end of the witches, Nidalee cleared her throat and began to speak. In fact, she just repeated what she said to Hawthorne in the prison that day.

After she finished speaking, she politely lowered her head without expressing any opinions. Obviously, in the environment where she grew up, the class distinctions between people were also very strict, so now facing the girls, she knew that she was a newcomer with a low status, so she didn't dare to say a word.

After listening to this, Huo Sang said, "At present, the earth dragon problem of the Mountain Worshipers tribe should be caused by the Abyss Lord, and it is also something I can solve."

"As long as the communication between us is smooth, we will most likely be able to establish an alliance with the tribe."

In fact, they were now solid allies. After all, strictly speaking, Hawthorne was already the son-in-law of the Mountain Riders...

cough!

"Also, although Miss Annuo did not say it explicitly, her mission to go deep into the rubble area is likely related to the Abyss Lord." Hawthorne continued, "We can take the initiative to find her and contact her, so we combined the power of the Black Rod Tower again."

"Therefore, destroying the Abyss Lord is a sure thing. We don't even need to do it ourselves to eliminate this threat."

"This is my opinion. Do you have any additional comments?"

The witches looked at each other, and then Heidi spoke first: "If we don't plan to confront the Abyss Lord head-on, then after purifying the Earth Dragon, the Master should not need to go to the rubble area in person, and can leave the rest to us?"

"After all, according to so many things, this battle involves several major forces. It is very chaotic and it is very unsafe there."

Hawthorne shook his head slightly and smiled, "Of course not, Heidi, I can't hide in the monastery forever."

"Also, we may not come into conflict with the Abyss Lord, but we can definitely deal with some of his subordinates, right? I also have to try to see if my purification ability can be of benefit in the process of purifying the evil spirits."

As he said this, Heidi sniffed slightly and then said no more.

"I do have a question." Die suddenly spoke, then looked at Nidalee, "What is your tribe's attitude towards the Blackstaff Tower and Libel Harbor?"

Hawthorne frowned slightly, and then he felt a little uncertain. He had actually thought about this issue, but fighting against evil, especially demons, was the political correctness shared by the entire material world, so under this premise, even if there were differences and hatred, they would temporarily unite... right?

It's like when faced with a deadly virus, even countries with huge differences should put aside their conflicts and unite to fight the plague.

As he thought about this, he saw Nidalee's face hesitated, and then she shook her head: "I'm not sure. In fact, the earth dragon was summoned to the material world to fight against the army of the Sein Empire that invaded the mountains. Therefore, our tribe should be regarded as the main force against Liber Port."

"However, in recent years, my father has been persuading the members of the tribe to let go of their hatred and focus on the present and future life. After all, the situation back then was very complicated, and some wars and killings cannot be entirely attributed to the Sein Empire's fault..."

Hawthorne, who was in the lead, nodded slightly, thinking that Nidalee's father was a sensible man.

This is indeed the case. A hundred years ago, when the Sein Empire first entered the mountains, many tribes among the mountain people still retained the traditions of cannibalism, skinning people to make drums, and using human blood for sacrifices.

They are not ogres, but humans, who are also humanoid creatures. However, they have the tradition of cannibalism and are out-and-out cannibals.

Chapter 206 Andrei's Plan

These savage mountain folk, who were no different from ogres, would first adopt a hostile attitude towards the miners and merchants from the Sein Empire who normally went into the mountains to hunt, cut down trees, and mine minerals. They would attack them, capture them, and eat or sacrifice them.

The army of the Sein Empire also focused on destroying these cannibal tribes at the beginning, but the mountain tribes also had in-laws with each other and respected each other's barbaric customs, but would help each other when attacked.

In this way, if the Sein people attacked one, they would be attacking all of them, which was almost equivalent to declaring war on all the mountain people, and then it turned into a total war...

What’s funny is that, by now, all the cannibals have been killed and the older generation has almost died, so most of the new generation of mountain people don’t know much about what the mountain people did a hundred years ago.

People like Nidalee's father are rare.

However, despite saying this, Nidalee changed the subject: "But he talked so much. As for the tribes outside who still hated Liberl Harbor and the Black Staff Tower and wanted to destroy the city, he never hesitated to win them over. He even planned to marry me to the heir of a tribe that extremely hated Liberl Harbor..."

She said this with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face. Hawthorne nodded slightly and said, "I understand. Your father neither hates nor is he close to the port. He is just a good politician. He speaks to people in a way that is appropriate to them and to ghosts in a way that is not appropriate to them. He just doesn't offend anyone."

in this way

After making his comment, he paused for a moment and then said, "In this case, in the face of the greatest political correctness of 'fighting demons', he should choose to ally with the Black Rod Tower - after all, doing so is actually beneficial, and his allies who hate the port will not be able to find any fault with him."

Die's eyes were still fixed on Nidalee: "That is to say, it is impossible for your father to suddenly betray the covenant and kill us and the demons in one fell swoop when we are fighting the demons, right?"

Nidalee's heart was in her throat. She didn't understand why this woman would think so viciously of her father. "No, my father is a principled man!"

Die nodded slightly: "Okay, then I have no problem."

She then stepped back, and the remaining witches did not speak. After a pause, Hawthorne continued, "Okay, then the next topic: Who will go to the rubble area with me, and who will stay in the monastery to maintain the normal operation of our industry?"

As soon as the words fell, almost all the witches looked up at the same time: "I can go!"

Hawthorne immediately laughed bitterly and waved his hand slightly: "Stop, come one by one."

After a pause, he looked at Nidalee first: "First of all, Nidalee must go with me. This time we are going to her tribe. Then, who else will go with me?"

Heidi was about to speak, but this time, Andrei, who was beside him on the right, suddenly stepped forward and spoke first: "Sister Celine and I will go with the master."

In an instant, all eyes fell on her again. There was shock, anger, worry, but also appreciation and approval - the only positive look came from the great witch of the monastery, Celine.

"Tell me your reasons," Hawthorne said.

Andre's heart was pounding. She didn't say a word during the first round, just preparing for this moment.

At this moment, she took a deep breath and then laid out her reasons: "First, to ensure the normal operation and safety of the monastery, the number of people who follow the master to the rubble area cannot be too large, but they must be strong enough. I think it would be best if three people go with the master. Miss Nidalee must go, and the other candidate is naturally the strongest elder sister Shilin."

At the side, Celine nodded slightly, and the approval in her eyes became more and more intense.

She has always wanted to see her sisters grow up, this is a habit she developed before she was purified. After all, only sisters who are strong enough can take care of her when she is in trouble!

As for Andnie, although no one knew what happened to her, she was smart and her biggest weakness was just her weakness, and the cowardice that came with her weak character.

Now, seeing that her character suddenly became strong, she was naturally relieved.

"Based on the first point, because Sister Celine is too powerful, the last person does not need to consider strength, but is more convenient to obtain intelligence." Andreni said, looking at Die, "Although Die is knowledgeable and powerful enough, you also said last time that you are not suitable for high-mobility sports in the wild, and are more suitable to stay at home, right?"

Die looked embarrassed, then she could only nod slightly: "Yes."

"So, for this final candidate, I think I am the most suitable." Andrei straightened her barren chest. Even though her heart was beating like a tired horse, she still looked proud. "I can control mosquitoes and obtain intelligence very conveniently. Therefore, I am the most suitable for this operation!"

These words caught many witches off guard. It was no wonder, after all, before this, no one had ever thought that the weakest witch in the monastery would be so... arrogant today.

"Well said." Hawthorne nodded slightly, then changed the subject, "But I remember last time, you said that you had to cultivate a place for a period of time before you could control the mosquitoes there?"

Andre's breathing paused for a moment, and then she said hurriedly: "After the master's blessing, I feel that my strength has greatly increased, so I don't need too much time to prepare, and I can also control strange mosquitoes..."

"So how long will it take?" Hawthorne continued to ask.

"This..." Andreni was speechless and hesitant, "I haven't experimented yet, but... it won't take too long. My strength has been greatly enhanced, and there is no shortage of bugs in the mountains like the Rubble District."

Hawthorne said nothing and looked at her with a smile. Suddenly, Andrei almost cried: "Master, please believe me, I will never hold you back..."

As she begged like this, Cuibisi sneered from behind her, almost unable to suppress the anger in her chest.

You are so weak, yet you still want to bully us? Don't you know your own strength?

She was about to open her mouth to mock him, but unexpectedly Huo Sang nodded slightly and continued: "Okay, then, I will fulfill your wish this time."

……

Northwest of the rubble area, deep in the mountains, in a cave.

This was once a mithril mine dug by the stone giants. However, hundreds of years later, when the ore veins dried up, the mine was naturally abandoned.

But now, this place has turned into a devil's den.

Ghostly white will-o'-the-wisp fire flickered in the air, illuminating the cavernous area that was like hell on earth. The corpses of long-dead humanoid creatures were hung in the air by iron hooks hanging from the top of the cavern, with large pieces of flesh cut off from their bodies, like

Like animals; a strong stench echoed in the air, not only from these slightly rotten corpses, but also from the huge toads that looked like human beings standing up, and the Berserkers whose bodies were also covered with pustules...

This purgatory-like scene would frighten ordinary people to the point of mental breakdown and drive them crazy just by looking at it. However, deep in this cave, there is an even more terrifying scene...

In the deepest part of the cave, the flowing red blood gathered into a huge and dirty blood pool. A dark purple, scaly behemoth was lying in the blood, enjoying the wonderful taste of a blood bath.

Its overall appearance is somewhat similar to that of a centaur, but its lower body is as huge, strong and fat as a hippopotamus, more than five meters long, with a thick tail; its upper body is as huge as a troll, with green demonic flames burning in its eyes, and a long and thick beard and two thick fangs on its mouth, looking ferocious and terrifying.

In addition, he has a pair of bat wings on the back of his upper body, but it is obvious that the pair of flesh wings are not enough to allow him to fly into the air. They can only assist him in running like an ostrich's wings.

Such a huge monster probably weighs five or six tons. When it charges on the ground, you can imagine its power!

And this guy is the Lord of the Abyss, Montbolt, who signed a contract with Celine!

Chapter 207 Return to the Rockseeker Camp

At this moment, this guy was holding the corpse of a halfling who had been dead for a long time in his big hands, and was chewing his flesh and blood to satisfy his almost endless appetite; and outside the blood pool, the purple-skinned succubus Ines lowered her head, with her hands folded in front of her lower abdomen, without saying a word, waiting for his final decision.

"So, you think that girl is actually a bait, and the place where she is is a trap carefully prepared for you?"

Finally, after swallowing the raw meat in his mouth, Mompot spoke, and his rumbling voice continued to echo in the cave.

Ines nodded repeatedly: "Yes, the other side has ambushed powerful wizards, and the strongest one can even use the seventh-level spell 'Rainbow Jet'."

"It was because of her existence that my powerful guard team consisting of twelve demon descendants was completely wiped out. Even I only managed to escape by luck..."

Monport was noncommittal: "Tell me about the appearance and attire of those mages, especially the strongest one."

Inès said quickly, "They all dressed up as a group of nuns, and the strongest one in the lead wore a white nun's robe, which was very different..."

She described the other person's appearance and clothing in detail. Halfway through, the Abyss Lord suddenly became furious: "Shilin, you shameless witch! You betrayed me--!"

"Wait, wait until I destroy this place, then I will tear you into pieces!"

The roaring sound was heard, and the whole cave was shaken. Ines also shrank subconsciously, showing a fearful attitude, but she was relieved in her heart: Fortunately, fortunately, this way, the blame can be thrown away.

However, after the roar, Monport did not vent further. He quickly shrank back and buried his huge body in the pool of blood again: "Very good, Ines, although you did not complete the task this time, you helped me find a traitor after all."

"I have decided to entrust you with an important task. Since you are a succubus, I need you to use your strengths and abilities to investigate something."

As he said this, his eyes were dim: "These humanoid creatures seem to be forming some inexplicable alliance. I need you to capture a few of their top leaders and find out what they are doing!"

"It would be best if we could recruit a few more people to help us..."

　Ines's expression lit up: "Okay, then, Lord, since the mission this time is to seduce men, can I call a few sisters to join me?"

The Abyss Lord closed his eyes: "You can do whatever you want, I just want the result!"

He said this and then stopped caring about the outside world. Ines said goodbye to him with joy and left.

She would not carry out the mission honestly. She called her sisters here to seduce the other demons working under Monpot, and then get a lot of information and intentions of the Abyss Lord from them...

For example, why did he go to so much trouble to create such a huge pool of crazy blood? What was he trying to pollute?

Or, is it to awaken something?

……

With the three girls, Hawthorne once again walked into the Rock Seekers Town. As soon as he entered, he attracted a lot of attention.

There is no other reason, people with good looks always get widespread attention.

Needless to say, he was the leader. Since they were going to go on an outdoor adventure, he took off his black priest uniform and put on a simple brown leather armor with arm guards. He looked smart and experienced, and naturally exuded the charm that a strong man should have.

However, these were just external disguises. What he really relied on was the protective power of magic.

Following closely behind him was Nidalee, who was now wearing her most common outfit, a brown furry corset, a brown fur skirt, and a

And leather boots of the same color, exposing shoulders, waists and thighs to the air, but not feeling cold at all - Druids do have this advantage. Although they cannot develop resistance to damage from fire or ice, they have great tolerance to ordinary high and low temperatures.

Following behind was Celine. Her attire had not changed much. She was still wearing the luxurious white nun's robe with gold edges. She clasped her hands together with a pious expression.

But she was the tallest and most voluptuous among the group, and even though her body curves were wrapped in thick nun clothes, they were still exposed to the fullest. So there was no doubt that she attracted the most attention, especially some male adventurers, who were attracted to her as if by a magnet, with their eyes fixed and unable to look away.

The last one to follow was Andrei, who had the biggest change in her attire. The short girl had completely changed out of her dark, heavy and conservative nun's uniform that almost covered up all her charm, and put on a more suitable outfit for her.

She was wearing a Gothic purple dress with lace trims from the chest to the shoulders and a small bow tied at the neckline. Her two slender legs were wrapped in white knee-high stockings and she was wearing a pair of black leather boots, looking beautiful and cute.

Unfortunately, cuteness is nothing compared to plumpness. Although she has a similar height and figure to Utta, she can hardly steal any limelight in front of Celine. The people in the Rock Seekers Camp almost subconsciously ignored her, and all their eyes were focused on the tall, plump, beautiful nun next to her.

Fortunately, she didn't mind the gazes from people other than Hawthorne. Moreover, at this moment, while following Hawthorne on the road, she actually had other things to do: she had to establish communication with the mosquitoes in the camp as soon as possible, make them her eyes and ears, and then eavesdrop on the intelligence here with the greatest efficiency.

Just like that, as the undoubted focus of the rock-seekers' camp, the group crossed the street under everyone's gaze and came to the inn run by the dwarf aunt where Hawthorne had lived last time.

The aunt was still as enthusiastic as ever, and she recognized Hawthorne as the handsome young man who had been here a month ago. Seeing that the girls accompanying him were no longer the two beautiful girls before, the aunt's smile suddenly became a little strange, but she didn't say much, just still warmly invited them to check in and asked how many rooms they wanted.

Of course, there were two rooms. After all, there were four of us this time, and with Celine, a nun with such a plump figure, they could not fit into one room.

At this point, new problems arise.

Who is in the same room with whom?

This was a question that Hawthorne had not considered in detail before. But at this moment, Andrei, who had a desire in her heart, was the first to express her opinion: "Tonight, I want to share a room with the master!"

In the corridor on the second floor of the hotel, the Insect Witch said this, and then took a deep breath: "Tonight, I will use my insect swarm to collect information from the Adventurer's Guild. If I find anything, I need to be the first to report it to the master."

"So, it's most appropriate for me to share a room with the master."

This reason was totally untenable because she could have just put a bug next to Hawthorne's ear and report to him immediately if she found anything.
