Witch, don't be so lazy

This thing wasn't easy to sell, so it went unsold. I guess it will be added to the booklet that Encore had read.

Come to think of it, why would a normal person buy this thing?

If you want spiritual items from the Fiery Sun School, why not just buy them directly in the North? They are not unavailable. Even if you despise the products from the North, you can use items from the Phoenix Kingdom. Mammon will sell them directly.

"The demon-hunting ritual sword is damaged and no longer functional, but it has a high spiritual reaction. After identification, it was found to contain some blood of the Screaming Banshee.

Alchemically processed, originating from the eastern Papal States, recommended for Chaos School use, estimated depth of the spirit realm at approximately 230,000. Starting price: 1,100.

An Ke's eyes lit up. The old man hadn't lied to her. There really was someone suitable.

The depth of the spiritual world is 230, which is just right. Otherwise, it would be too deep and she would be afraid of falling over.

Write down the number decisively and hold up the sign.

No need to shout, the glittering golden sign will naturally attract the host's attention.

Perhaps because high spirituality was more attractive, several people actually wanted to bid and placed bids one after another, but Anke finally added 200 gold coins and they backed off.

Successfully obtained it for 1,430 gold coins.

There is nothing much to say after that.

The last showpiece item was the "Knowledge Crystal of Corpse Explosion", and according to the host, it was not a simple matter of getting started after using it. Although it would not lead to proficiency directly, it would not be too far away either.

Corpse explosion, a low-level spell of the necromancy school. Of course, this knowledge crystal is definitely black stuff.

Because low-level spell-level knowledge crystals can no longer guarantee the user's mental sanity 100%, and this also points out that it is not a simple introduction, which means there are certain risks.

However, for people in the dark world, it is common to live on the edge of a knife, and many of them have mental disorders, so how could they be afraid of this little risk?

then.

An extremely fierce battle broke out in the venue, and it was finally sold at a high price of "three thousand seven hundred and fifty gold coins".

Although there is no necromancer in Xueshan Town who can use this thing, it is always a good thing to get it, and no one said that only locals will participate in the auction.

It was over, and everyone left one after another through different secret passages.

Encore went to pay and then get the things.

Although her small treasury had shrunk to 300 gold coins again, successfully obtaining the spiritual object was a great victory.

I carefully cast the invisibility spell and returned to the house nervously, safe and sound.

Subsequently.

It's time to gain experience again.

……

More than four months have passed.

An Ke entered the highest-specification meditation room, closed the door, locked it, spent his own money to add a barrier, and tore a few scrolls for protection.

Although the flow of time in the spirit world and the real world is different, it won’t take long to be promoted, and the Adventurer’s Guild is also very safe, but you still need to make all the necessary preparations.

Start arranging the things needed for the promotion ceremony.

First, there was a magic circle, two circles painted with a special paint, with spells as fine as tadpoles written in the gaps. Then a huge hexagram was drawn in the inner circle, and a small incense burner was placed at each vertex.

Then light the incense, and a strange smell floats in the air. The stove is filled with auxiliary materials.

Then he drank a bottle of potion. For it, Anke used up almost all of his black iron contributions, because it could reduce the backlash after failing to get promoted, even though Anke didn't think he would fail.

Finally, insert the ritual sword into the center of the magic circle.

Take a moment to collect your thoughts.

Everything had been checked over and over again, more than four months had passed, and there were only three weeks left within the five months that Malchana required.

There was no other way. Encore had always been cautious when he needed to be. He had skipped classes for many rounds during these days, and finally took a long vacation. He also spent a lot of money to buy experience in magic tricks, just to try his best to master those four magic tricks.

The next stage of the signboard corresponds to low-level spells, and can only be mastered after promotion.

In fact, she wanted to learn more skills from the School of Shadows, even if it was just the introductory level. However, she heard that it might affect her positioning in the spirit world and the acquisition of talent. In addition, apart from the invisibility spell, the other tricks of the School of Shadows were too weak, so she simply gave up.

Anke exhaled slowly.

I have made all the preparations and the time is almost up.

Therefore.

The spiritual world tour begins!

Sleep + organize the plot.

I'll take a day off today, sorry.

Word count patch word ...

Chapter 50 Departure

Church in District VI, Wenzistan, Papal States.

The magnificent dome, the carved glass windows in the morning light, the neatly arranged wooden chairs, and the sacred and solemn statues standing in front.

The air was filled with the scent of incense from the burning stove, and the choir's singing mixed with the believers' prayers.

The elderly nun closed her eyes and bowed her head in prayer.

Light footsteps came closer and then stopped quietly beside.

The old nun opened her eyes and smiled kindly:

"Little Wei'er, it's great to see you again. Don't dwell on your sorrow. They are all devout believers who sacrificed themselves for a noble cause and will surely return to God's heaven."

The black-haired girl next to her was silent for a while. Looking at the expression that flashed across her delicate face, it was more like confusion than sadness, but it was only a moment after all, and she immediately returned to calm.

"Mammy, I'm going to perform a grace ceremony today."

The so-called grace ceremony refers to the promotion ceremony, because according to the church, promotion is the test and grace of the Lord God. The higher the rank, the more glory one can bathe in.

The old nun was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"That's all well and good. You should have held it months ago. Don't be afraid. You are the most pious and promising child in the courtyard. The gods will bless you."

The young nuns around her in white robes understood without her having to give any further instructions.

They first bowed respectfully to the old nun, then looked at the girl in awe and carefully guided her forward.

Although he looked young, the mere sight of his black robe and the emblem of a crossed pistol and rapier was enough to make the nuns feel uneasy.

That is the symbol of the Witch Hunts, an organization among the three major violent agencies of the Holy See that is specifically responsible for combating dark creatures.

It is said that everyone in it is proficient in killing skills. They are not only good at dealing with monsters, but also good at eliminating wizards. At the same time, because they are easily corrupted, they often have fierce conflicts with the Inquisition.

Normally, members of the Witch Hunting Group should complete their promotions within their own base, but...

The old nun sighed heavily and began to look through and record the grace ceremony application materials on hand.

Celine Weil, sixteen years old, an orphan, grew up in the Charity House in District 6 of Wenzistan. Because she showed extraordinary magical talent, she entered the local theological school and joined the witch hunting group after graduation.

As a deacon of the Sixth District Relief Society and concurrently the director of its subordinate institution, the Charity House, the old nun dared to say that she could almost remember all the children adopted by the house over the decades. Among so many orphans, Celine Weier was definitely the most impressive one.

It's not just that the child is smart and pretty, what's even more special is her quirky personality.

The nuns in the convent often said, "She was a unique and taciturn child, with pure black eyes that were clear and deep, like the biting cold wind on a winter night in the north in poems, which has been blowing for a thousand years and has not stopped."

When you look into her eyes, you can clearly see your own reflection in her obsidian pupils, but you always feel that she doesn't see you in her eyes. She is just looking into the infinite distance. No one knows what she is thinking.

So the children didn't like to play with her. Only the old nun would occasionally pass by and see the girl standing alone in the corner of the playground staring at the leaves in a daze, and then chat with her. Basically, the old nun was talking and the child was listening, occasionally nodding to show that she was not distracted.

Only when the nun told stories at night would the child sit obediently beside her with her little cushion in her arms, shaking her head gently as everyone laughed or sobbed. That was probably when she was most sociable.

But Celine Weier is definitely a good child, and both the nuns at the House of Mercy and the priests at the seminary acknowledge this.

Because she is very serious about everything she does and never slacks off. Even when she is on duty for other students, she will complete it meticulously. But sometimes, the more an unsociable girl is liked by adults, the more she will be alienated by other children.

By the time graduation came, the old nun couldn't help but wonder if it was because of insufficient care that the child became too withdrawn. In the end, instead of going to the Relief Society, the Scripture House, or the Choir Hall as planned, she joined a dangerous witch-hunting group.

The members of the witch hunting group are screened and trained intensively from a young age. They specifically select children who have a blood feud with dark creatures. Those who apply from outside are actually a minority, and those who can pass the brutal training and assessments are even fewer among the minority.

And as a newcomer, he was able to complete more than twenty missions in two years, more than half of which were solo missions...

Flipping through the long task list and seeing the red seal and generous praise on it, the old nun immediately understood why the Witch Hunting Group of Wenzistan had prepared the highest-level grace ceremony for Celine Weier three months ago and planned to send her to the headquarters for training after the ceremony.

Unfortunately.

After the combined attack by the Disaster Cult, the remnants of the Old Empire, the Hell Temple and the Bounty Hyenas, all six witch hunting outposts stationed near the ruins were attacked, killing hundreds of priests and even eight mages, both first- and second-level.

By the time the witch hunters' reinforcements arrived and repelled the attacking enemies, only a handful of people were left alive, including Celine Weir, who was lying in the ruins. She had escaped the attack because she was on an exploration mission, but fainted due to an indiscriminate mental spell.

So, after complicated identification and testing, the witch hunting group gave Celine Weier a long vacation after her identity was verified. At the same time, they allowed her to return to the city and hold a grace ceremony in a familiar church, because they believed that this would help her cultivate her body and mind.

The old nun was very worried at first, because the child locked herself in the room except for eating and practicing every day. At most, she would occasionally sit on the roof and stare at the sky in a daze.

Fortunately, Celine Weier seems to have finally gotten over her psychological trauma these days. She has been attending mass in church for a week, taking walks in the city from time to time, and even submitted an application for a grace ceremony two days ago.

The old nun carefully read through the application information. Apart from worrying about whether the spiritual object with an estimated depth of 280 would be too dangerous, she was also a little puzzled as to why the meditation method was written as "Sun Crown Meditation Method" instead of "Holy Light Meditation Method".

But she thought about it carefully again. It seemed that she had vaguely heard of this name within the Vatican. It might be a special award from the witch hunting group.

So, he stamped the seal and whispered, "May God bless me."

at the same time.

In the meditation room of the church.

The black-haired girl sat quietly in the center of the promotion ceremony circle, staring at the tall statue in front of her.

Unlike statues of archangels and saints, the statues of the true Lord God do not have a fixed face, because He has many different appearances.

But generally speaking, the mages generally saw the golden sun hanging high in the sky, a majestic old man, a kind woman, a handsome young man, and a small number of them could see praying girls and wise scholars.

These six are the most common images, and these are the statues that are often displayed to the general public. It is said that the six major departments in the Holy See are also divided in this way.

Occasionally, some priests would claim to have seen different images, such as a holy baby, an invisible but golden spirit, or even a dove with white feathers and a golden crown.

But no matter what.

Then you shouldn't see the black sun.

……

As the sun sets, the red light shines on the vast desert, creating a golden glow.

Broken swords, shattered shields, shattered carriages, and half wheels buried in the yellow sand.

Of course, there are also the shocking broken limbs and corpses all around.

A hand suddenly stretched out from the yellow sand.

Anke climbed up with difficulty, choked several times, and spat out a mouthful of sand.

So true.

Whether it's the scalding ground, the slippery blood, or the lingering stinging sensation in the mouth and nose.

This spiritual tour was completely different from the previous experience in the Witchwood.

She closed her eyes and opened them again. When she woke up again, all the scenes had changed, as if she had traveled through time again.

But something about my body has changed.

She was fully armed, with light armor, cloak, and leggings all ready.

Now everything has changed, becoming a wide-brimmed round hat, a high-necked lining, an old windbreaker, tight trousers and leather riding boots.

During the ceremony, the small handbag in Anke's hand disappeared, which contained different magic scrolls and various props.

Now she was holding a handful of yellow sand in her hands.

Tsk.

As expected, you are not allowed to bring any equipment.
