Witch, don't be so lazy

This statement is quite reasonable. If they were heretics, they would naturally not ask for help from the Church of Dawn, because the Inquisition would arrive at the scene earlier than the rescue and then turn the whole city into a sea of ​​fire.

Even if the town is in danger and they are short of manpower, they are only willing to commission witchers for a large sum of money, and the scale of the commission is likely to be very small.

Look at who are the ones who take on the task. The Indian is a half-baked one, the Ronin Swordsman is a complete fool, and the stronger ones, Droke and the Ripper, seem to be the natives of Hongyan Town.

Feeling strung together.

An Ke gathered her thoughts and pursed her lips again: "So, this incident was caused by heretics, and even the demon incarnation in your necessary mission was created by them?"

But as soon as she finished speaking, she shook her head. "If that were the case, they wouldn't be alive now."

How does the saying go? Heretics are more abominable than aliens, even if they are just phantoms from the spiritual world.

If this is also linked to the necessary tasks, then Celine Weier will definitely shoot them all one by one, it's not like she doesn't have the ability to do so.

Now they are just deliberately avoiding them, probably because they think they are on a different path from the monsters and still have value to use.

"Well, although I don't know the truth about the incident yet, according to my observation, this group of heretics and the monsters are mutually hostile, and the monsters are inextricably linked to the devil incarnation."

Celine Weier said calmly, "No matter how much you say, it's not as real as seeing it with your own eyes."

"Go to the roof. I have something ready there."

Leave this sentence.

She nimbly jumped to the windowsill, then turned over again, the curtains swayed, and she disappeared.

Anke trotted over and stuck his head out.

The long and lonely street, the dim lights, and the bright moonlight pouring down from the sky, as thin as smoke.

An Ke looked at the hotel which had six floors and couldn't help scratching his head.

Without the help of the magic scroll, she could no longer jump up so easily.

After thinking about it, I decided to give up, turned around, pushed the door open, and walked up the stairs.

The wizard crushed the iron chain with his hands and reached the rooftop.

What I never expected was that there was a tall tower column on the roof, and a slender figure stood on the top.

An Ke puffed out his cheeks, and used his two telekinetic arms together, one grasping and one lifting, and began to rise.

A good while.

Finally reached the top of the tower, and then saw a terrifying fishman corpse.

Bulging eyeballs, smelly green algae-like hair, skin covered with fish scales, feet turned into tails, only the palms still retained the appearance of human hands, and as for the bloody hole in the chest, there was a dark golden spear stuck in it.

"Is this... a green algae fishman? Did the patient just transform?"

Anke recognized this thing. These monsters also existed in the coastal waters of the southern North.

"Ah."

Celine Weier nodded and said, "Just now, when you were returning to the church, I killed a patient with a disease on the way."

You are really hardworking and fast.

An Ke sighed in her heart and asked, "What are we going to do next?"

Celine Weier said nothing, but lowered her head in a prayer posture.

then.

The dark golden spear instantly turned into a blazing flame and engulfed the fishman's corpse.

Completely different from ordinary cremation, Anke had seen the guards cleaning up the remains of the White Walkers. The horrible stench and smoke could be smelled from a long distance away, enough to prevent people from eating normally for three days and three nights.

But the scene before him looked more like a sacred sacrifice than cleaning up corpses.

In a blink of an eye.

When the dark golden flames dissipated, there was no trace of any murlocs left on the top of the tower, not even a stain.

What surprised Anke even more was that, if she was not mistaken, Celine Wei'er's magic seemed to have increased a little.

what?

Could it be a special means of reply?

Can you restore mana by killing monsters? Or can you increase your mana cap? Can you teach me?

Before Anke could finish her random thoughts, she heard the other party's question.

"Did you see that?"

“…What are you looking at?”

"This town."

An Ke was stunned. What happened to Hongyan Town?

She looked around.

Hongyan Town is roughly oval in shape, with the church at the center of the upper town. The closer you are to the church, the brighter it is, and the farther you are from the church, the darker it is, until it reaches the dim lower town. A river extending from an oasis serves as the long axis.

If you look outside again, you can only see the endless desert and a few lonely Gobi mountains in the moonlight.

She thought about it and cast the clairvoyance spell again.

The scenery is quite different.

All you can see is the tall bell tower of the church, which continues to emit bright and gentle magic, which is the so-called morning light.

Of course, the morning light at night is much weaker than that during the day.

Don't get me wrong, Anko has tried it and found that this thing doesn't cause any negative effects. On the contrary, it can soothe the caster's mind, help maintain calmness, and dispel some negative energy.

"Did you see the black fog?"

"Black mist?"

An Ke shook her head, "No."

"...Then come here."

An Ke walked over obediently. When she got closer, she could smell the girl's faint fragrance, like cool cedar mixed with mysterious amber.

Celine Weier stretched out her finger and lightly touched it, and strange magical power instantly flowed.

Subconsciously, he strengthened the telekinetic shield.

Then, Anke was stunned.

Because the world before my eyes suddenly changed.

Black mist.

The air was filled with the aura of disaster and resentment, almost covering the entire lower city area, and even had sporadic distributions in the upper city area.

What’s more important is that a constantly moving black vortex suddenly appeared in the lower city area, with countless thin lines spreading out from it, one of which extended to the fishman’s corpse.

"...That vortex, could it be..."

"Well, that should be the so-called devil incarnate."

Celine Weier whispered, "After killing so many monsters, we finally locked down its location."

It turns out that those patients were used as reverse locators.

"Kill it and the incident is over?"

"We should clean up the demons first, and then we can move on to the heretics."

To translate, complete the necessary tasks, and then the additional tasks.

"Just the two of us?"

An Ke blinked, "Can we at least find some help?"

"Of course, hunters and heretics must always have some sense of participation."

What a euphemism.

"...Okay, I'll call someone tomorrow."

An Ke nodded and looked at the Red Rock Town divided by black fog and holy light.

She vaguely felt that things were not that simple.

Otherwise, the additional task that required meticulous attention would be accomplished too easily.

...The whirlpool of hell has trapped me again, and I am crying.

Chapter 57: The 55th Spirit! Dream + First Chapter, Action

The next day.

The rising sun in the sky illuminates the entire Hongyan Town.

The church bells rang solemnly.

However, unlike in the past, the priests and nuns had no time to complete morning prayers these days, because they were already so busy searching for and caring for the patients that they had to rush to eat.

The pharmacist in charge of medical affairs is even busier. One can tell from his heavy dark circles that he probably hasn't had a good night's sleep for many days.

"Sedatives, soothing water, sleeping potion... bring them all over here... Don't have any? I haven't made any yet. Use the herbs in the warehouse; there's plenty of raw materials... Come here. This person is about to die. Send him to the farewell room, and then send someone to notify the family..."

The pharmacist kept running around in the courtyard, roaring loudly.

Until he turned around and saw An Ke, he immediately turned his head and gave a few instructions to his assistant, explained the matter, and then walked over quickly.

"Sorry, I'm a little late. I wonder if everyone is waiting for me to hold a discussion meeting?"

Encore QUN (VI) Long San ~ Ba Ba Si was the first to speak.

Since she returned to the hotel in the early morning yesterday, she secretly met with Celine Weil and exchanged some information and intelligence with each other. She also had to meditate to restore her magic power. She was too tired from fighting and needed sufficient rest, which caused her to arrive at the church a little late.

"I'm indeed waiting for you, but..."

The pharmacist hesitated to speak. He didn't say much, but just led the way.

An Ke walked into the inner hall that used to be there.

I saw the tired-looking old pastor and...the empty seats.

"Ah? Where are the people?"

An Ke was stunned.

We had agreed to hold a discussion meeting, so why are there only three people?

"gone."

The pharmacist looked helpless, and then gave a brief description.

Actually, there is nothing strange about it.

An Ke herself has the strength and confidence, and she and Celine Weier can be said to be acquainted with each other through fighting, but in the eyes of others, it is different. They just feel that they have been to the gate of hell and almost lost their lives.

No matter how good a witcher is, he must at least know how to deal with things when he is alive. The reward may be good, but he must be alive to spend it.

Therefore, Ah San and the Ronin Swordsman escaped the fastest. After their injuries were mostly healed, they immediately packed up and ran away. It was even said from others that they planned to leave Hongyan Town directly.

"Where's the Ripper?"

"You're talking about Ms. Ellie, right? She left this morning, too. After all, she... uh, manages several gangs and runs some shady businesses. She only got involved in the operation out of pressure and the promise of benefits."

The pharmacist shrugged, "But she broke two ribs last night, and she refuses to participate no matter what."

"...Where's Drake? I thought he was pretty brave. He was trying to trade his life for his injuries yesterday, but why did he run away?"

"He didn't stay at the church at all. He simply treated his injuries that night and left, saying he was staying at the theater, but he didn't show up in the morning."

Ever since.

Just like those small teams in fantasy stories, the team fell apart after encountering a crisis.

"...So I'm the only one here? I'm not going to have to go up alone later, am I?"

Anke had a complicated expression.

"I'll go find Drake later. If it really comes to the last resort, I can also be a fighting force." Although the pharmacist's face was heavy, his tone was quite firm.
