After leaving the team, the adventurers regretted it

Instead of licking yourself, you go lick the ice flowers?

Why?

Aiko was so angry that the panda was about to explode.

She had spent three years raising the dog, and it was not yet time to harvest it, so why was it kidnapped by Isa?

It was fine for Linda to wander around like a stray dog. But if someone wanted to take the stray dog ​​home, Echo would never agree.

"No one can take my things away..."

Ai Ke bit his thumb with a dark look in his eyes. His teeth were like a beast chewing food, and the friction between his nails made a creepy sound of clicking.

A wild cat happened to pass by nearby. When it saw the monster with two large tumors on its chest, it was so scared that it screamed and ran away.

"What's wrong, Echo? It's so noisy outside."

Leah came out with a sullen look on her face.

"Nothing, just a bunch of flies, I chased them away."

Echo instantly smiled again, hid her injured right hand behind her back, and spoke in a gentle voice.

His face changed so quickly, as if he was wearing a mask.

"Really?" Leah returned to the villa absent-mindedly without any suspicion.

Aiko deliberately did not tell Leah that Linda helped Isa.

What if Leah suddenly comes to her senses and comes back to find Linda?

Although this was unlikely to happen, what if something happened between the two of them? Her plan would be ruined.

Eco could see through Leah's thoughts, but as for Linda...three years ago, she might have had some feelings, but now, Eco couldn't be sure.

"Whether it's Leah or Isa, if you insist on snatching it from me, don't blame me for being rude."

The light shone out from the open door of the villa, and under the cover of the eaves, a shadow fell on Aiko's face.

Behind Leah's back, where she couldn't see, Echo narrowed her eyes, her cheeks flushed, and a twisted smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

It was like a man-eating beast hiding in the darkness, with sticky saliva flowing from its bloody mouth full of serrated teeth.

Eco used magic to drive the wheelchair and followed Leah into the villa. From beginning to end, Leah failed to notice Eco's abnormality.

...

at the same time.

303 rental house in an old residential area in Sparrow District.

squeak~

The wooden door opened and Kafni came back with the meal.

"Here, it's yours." Kafni placed a bowl of hot and fragrant pork chop rice in front of Linda.

Linda looked up in surprise: "Thank you?"

"Heh, no matter how ruthless I am, I will not let the hero go hungry. After all, I still have to rely on the hero to defeat the Demon King."

Kafni opened his luxurious eel rice, held his head high, and spoke with a condescending look.

Seeing the eel rice in her hand, Linda's eyelids jumped, and he had a bad feeling. The price of pork chop rice was 20 copper coins, and the price of deluxe eel rice was at least 50... So, he and Kafni's savings were less than 1 silver coin.

It's simply...a spendthrift god!

Linda rubbed his forehead helplessly.

Although I don't want to do this, I have to borrow some gold coins from an old friend tomorrow.

With Kafni's consumption style, he will go hungry the day after tomorrow.

"But why not two servings of deluxe unagi rice?"

He suddenly felt strange. If Kafni had no concept of money, why didn't she bring him the same thing? It was a cheap pork chop rice, while her own was expensive.

"Two portions cost one silver coin?" Kafni said matter-of-factly, "Brave men serve the gods, right? I'm already doing you a disservice by not bringing any rice."

"That sounds reasonable." Linda smiled and stretched his arms: "I think we'd better determine who is the 'master'."

Kafni's face changed slightly, obviously knowing that he was no match for Linda.

Linda's hero profession has extremely high initial attributes.

Even though he was only level 0, his attributes were already similar to those of a level 3 warrior, which was incomparable to her, a level 0 thief.

"Wait...! I was just kidding. I spent a lot of money to buy eel rice because something good happened to me!"

Kafni was sweating profusely and explained anxiously: "The 'Legendary Skill Stone' that this god ordered has been delivered. I spent all my contribution points to buy it. It's not too much to have an eel meal."

She quickly took out a round golden stone from her arms.

Under the light released by the stone, the dim rental house was suddenly illuminated, and a strong magical power could be felt around.

"Legendary skill stone?"

Linda's resentment towards the eel rice disappeared, and he took it curiously.

The stone is not big, only the size of a quail egg, and it feels slightly warm to the touch.

After touching his palm, the skill stone vibrated with a buzzing sound, and a large amount of golden light poured into the body.

The personal panel popped up in front of me.

System prompt: You have obtained the legendary skill [Witch Purification]!

Click on a skill in the skill bar to see its specific effect.

Witch Purification: Purify the contract erosion in the witch's body through contact with any part of the body. After complete purification, the witch's skills will be activated.

Note: The higher the witch's trust, the more thorough the purification.

What the hell?

Linda frowned, feeling like he had gotten a guaranteed 10-draw bonus, but it was crooked. This legendary skill looked pretty good, and it could open up a witch skill tree. This kind of skill tree that was opened through special conditions was generally not bad.

But the problem is that the prerequisite for opening the skill tree is to completely purify a witch.

This would make it more difficult.

Regarding the witch profession, it is not difficult to deal with in the game. You can pay 1688 as the "price" to sign a contract and change your profession to [Witch].

If you recharge 648 every month, you can continue to use the witch profession. Once you stop recharging, the witch will be backfired by the contract and return to the shadow.

This setting is nothing in the game. All we can say is that the planner is dead and that’s it.

But in the real secret continent, when this setting becomes reality, the situation is like this...

No matter which city you are in, just mentioning the word "witch" will result in arrest by law enforcement.

There is a rumor that when you mention a witch, the witch may really appear around you and bring disaster.

Chapter 22 Linda's Three Skill Trees

When Linda first came to Baige City, he often spent time in the library and had a general understanding of witches. The contract in the game, when put into reality, becomes "a girl with a strong and special desire, is bewitched by the whispers of the devil, and signs a contract with her soul as the price".

In other words, witches are subordinates of the devil and cursed beings.

Wherever they passed, cities were destroyed and corpses were everywhere.

A witch who has reached the end of her life will turn into a "fallen beast" and cause a horrific disaster.

Purifying this kind of monster is not an easy task for Linda who is at level 0.

"What skills did you use?" Kafni asked anxiously when she saw that his face looked strange.

Linda told the truth.

"What? Purification Witch? What's the point of this? It's worse than the most common legendary skills like [Magic Blessing]."

Kafni was dumbfounded. She spent all her contribution points from the divine world, only to get such a crappy skill.

She heard from her predecessors that some heroes were extremely lucky and could immediately unleash legendary skills such as "ten times the attack" and "half the magic power consumption".

How come my hero is so evil when it comes to his turn...

As for how to save the secret continent, Kafni fell into pessimism again.

"Actually, this skill isn't that bad."

Linda thought for a while, and as he opened the steaming pork chop rice, he said, "Maybe I can use this skill to try to turn the witch against me."

"Rebellion?" Kafni listlessly ate the eel rice, feeling that the luxurious taste in his mouth was like chewing wax.

"Yes." Linda said, "You think, witches are forced to be servants of the devil, right? Unlike the devil's army who voluntarily pledge allegiance and are born brainwashed, witches submit to the devil out of necessity. So one thing is certain, they are not as loyal to the devil as monsters.

"That's right." Kafni nodded in approval.

Linda snapped his fingers. "Now it's time for the legendary skill, Witch Purification, to come into play. If we can forcibly cancel the contract between the witches and the Demon King, wouldn't that be equivalent to saving their lives? At that time, they naturally don't need to be loyal to the Demon King anymore, and they may even join the hero camp because of this."

"Hey, it seems to make sense." Kafeni's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he didn't even bother to eat: "One thing is going on, the other is going on, even if the devil breaks through the seal and wakes up, he will still be a weakling! Then, without further delay , let’s go find the witch to purify it now!”

It just so happens that she has a trace of divine power in her body. As long as she gets close to a certain distance, she can detect witches who have the power of the devil in their bodies. It is equivalent to a human radar.

She is responsible for finding, Linda is responsible for purification, and after collecting ten carriage witches, they can directly defeat the devil!

Kafni imagined the beautiful future and couldn't help laughing with his hands on his hips.

Linda sat on the sofa steadily without moving. He glanced at Kafni who was full of interest and said:

"What are you thinking? The witch is wanted by the Empire, and I don't even know where she is hiding. How can I find her easily? And even if I find her, she may not trust me and open her heart to me for purification."

The premise of witch purification is that the other party has a high degree of trust and then has physical contact. The higher the trust, the deeper the contact, and the more thorough the purification.

However, these days, if you casually touch a girl's hand, you will be reported to the law enforcement agency. If you touch a witch, the risk should be even greater, right?

The witches who could hear the whispers of the devil and were bewitched by him were probably mentally abnormal. It would be the least of their worries to be reported to the law enforcement bureau, but they might even lose their lives.

Before Linda's level is raised, she absolutely does not want to meet the witches in this world.

After listening to this, Kafni suddenly stopped talking: "After all this talk, isn't it still just a useless skill?"

"There is always a way. If it doesn't work, just subdue them, tie them up and purify them."

Linda shrugged.

He lowered his head to enjoy his pork chop rice and opened the personal panel-skill tree page.

Currently, this skill tree has three major branches: the recovery system, the poison system, and the dark and unclear witch system.

The effects of the witch skills are not known yet, but the main feature of the poison skills is high continuous damage.

The skill grids on the first level of the Poison Skill Tree are of rare purple quality, and above them there is a long string of orange, red, and several gold legendary skills.

Compared with the ordinary profession healer, the skills in the first level of the latter's skill tree are all white ordinary level.

The level 20 special move, 'Healing Rain', is barely a rare purple skill.

Although Linda was rebuilt from level 0, when he returns to level 15, his combat power will increase more than ten times.

"After you get the certificate of withdrawal from the team, go to the wild and kill some slimes. Your level is too low now and you don't have any skill points."

Linda thought to herself.

It takes skill points to choose a skill. He is currently at level 0 and has 0 skill points.

The only active skill she has mastered is 'Witch Purification' which has no attack power, and she relies entirely on melee combat with her initial strength attribute of 15.

After swallowing the last bite of pork chop rice, Linda said with satisfaction: "The meal is finished, let's start cleaning the house."

He grabbed Kafni, who wanted to go to sleep, with a warm smile on his face.

It was already late at night when we finished the work.

The whole dust-covered house now looks brand new.

During the break, since there was only one bedroom and one bed in the rental house, Linda and Kafni had an argument about who should sleep on the bed.

"Asshole hero, asshole, sooner or later, I will..."

With several lumps on her head, Kafni curled up on the sofa with hatred on her face. She was wrapped in a blanket and tears of unwillingness flowed from her eyes.

Linda's fist was too big and too hard, and she could be beaten to death in just three or two blows.

Kafni couldn't bear the humiliation and had no choice but to give up her bed.
