Witch, don't be so lazy

...I admire your courage, but I really can't expect the healing support to have any combat power. If you really have the ability, why didn't you go up yesterday?

An Ke sighed and looked at the old pastor: "Then you..."

Before she could finish, the pharmacist spoke.

"The Reverend must stay in the cathedral. He has to maintain the barrier and the Dawn Light, and also instruct the priests and nuns."

This is true.

Although the other party did not participate in the battle yesterday, when An Ke returned to the church at night, he did see the old man busy comforting the patients and maintaining the barrier, and he actually output magic power. The morning light that resisted the black fog was partly due to his contribution.

"...Is there any way to call in more people? I've already found the culprit."

Anko said with a frown.

"Is this true?"

"Really?"

The old pastor and the pharmacist looked at each other and asked hurriedly.

"real."

An Ke emphasized his tone, unfolded the map of Hongyan Town in his hand, and circled an area with his finger, "It has been active in this area."

“It’s a sewage plant.”

The pharmacist immediately recognized the location and asked, "Miss Anke, how did you determine this?"

"I got some inspiration from fighting that masked man last night. I used some tricks that I can't explain, and finally locked onto the enemy through the patient. It seems like it was the devil incarnate who did it."

Encore just talks nonsense.

Just make up a random excuse to get away with it. Anyway, given the current situation, the Hongyan Town Church is much more anxious than you are.

After all, the number of monsters has been increasing, and so have the patients. Sooner or later, it will exceed the upper limit of what they can bear. At that time, it will no longer be possible to conceal it, and the whole town will fall into chaos and panic.

"...a demon incarnate... If that's what it is, it might have some strange methods we can't detect. If we can eliminate it, perhaps we can restore peace to the town."

The old pastor pondered for a moment, then instructed the pharmacist,

"Mobilize all available personnel and prepare for action. We must eliminate the culprit and clean up the monsters in the lower city."

侕+zero phosphorus fin is shrimp "good."

The pharmacist nodded, then looked at An Ke, "Although there isn't much left, would you like to go to the warehouse and take a look?"

Of course I have to go.

An Ke nodded hurriedly, but suddenly a thought struck her, and she asked casually, "Since you're short of manpower, why didn't you seek support from the Dawn Church?"

The pharmacist sighed.

"We've been searching, sending messages repeatedly, but haven't received a response. Finally, we've run out of options and can only entrust the Witcher with the task."

……

"They are tumor-killing bar Jiuwu (eight) Lingling answered like this."

"Excuse." A clear voice.

"I think so too."

An Ke held his chin and changed the subject, "There's nothing in the warehouse. I looked around and, besides a large amount of herbs, the rest are almost all materials for mountain deer people and flame horses. And there's not a single complete item, just scraps. These are all the things that can be used."

On the table in front of him were five bottles of holy water and three magic scrolls of Pyromancy and Power.

To be honest, the church in Hongyan Town is a little too poor.

Although according to the pharmacist, a large amount of materials were spent on exterminating the monsters, An Ke just scoffed at it.

Look at the wealthy Aleman family, which can afford hundreds of fully armed guards and a large group of follower mages.

Look at them again, they are so shabby.

"Did they secretly use the things somewhere else?"

An Ke took a sip of juice. "It doesn't make sense otherwise. Doesn't your Dawn Church always like to plunder... uh, centralize and manage resources?"

Noticing the calm gaze of the pretty girl opposite her, she quickly changed her words.

"…It's possible, but I can't say for sure, because this town is particularly poor in magic."

Celine Weier replied.

An Ke was thoughtful.

Indeed, when she first arrived, she discovered that there was no place selling magic props in Hongyan Town. Magic resources were very scarce, and mages and apprentices were extremely rare. This might be a limitation of the spiritual world.

This topic was quickly skipped.

The focus is on identifying the item.

"No problem, it's genuine holy water. Although the magic power contained in it can only be classified as Grade 5, its quality is extremely pure. Even in the church, it is undoubtedly a top-quality product."

Celine Weier frowned slightly. "It's strange that they can actually produce holy water of this quality. Because of their religious problems, it's almost impossible for heretics to produce something so pure..."

Her voice weakened, and she seemed to be thinking about something.

An Ke waited for a long time and then shouted.

"As long as it's okay and can be used against the demon Wu Yi Qi, the scarred Ling Qi Liu incarnation, that's fine."

She put the magic scroll in her pocket naturally and said, "You are the one who plays with fire. I will take the scroll first. And I want two bottles of holy water too. I will give you three bottles."

"……Thanks."

"You're welcome. Remember to put in more effort when fighting."

"it is good."

"Do witch hunters fighting demons count as professional matches?"

"Calculate."

"Are you sure you can get away with this?"

As An Ke put the items away, she asked curiously, "They didn't see your face last night because of the mask, but even though your figure is covered by the robe, if one has a good eye, the general outline and some details could still be exposed."

At least we have to ensure that we are not exposed during the meeting or on the way, otherwise it will be bad if there is an internal conflict.

"Yes," Celine Weier replied calmly, "It's written in the disguise manual that there's no need for a complicated disguise. As long as you properly adjust the memory points, you'll appear to be two completely different people in the eyes of others."

There is some truth to that.

Her smooth hair was tied into a bun, she wore a sky blue short top, a snow-white long skirt decorated with satin ribbons, and golden ribbons on her puff sleeves. Coupled with the girl's delicate face, although her temperament was still cold, she felt completely different because she no longer had the sharp edge of last night.

And Encore was keenly aware that some small details had been carefully adjusted.

For example, the other person's eye color actually changed from obsidian to dark gold.

"Colored contact lenses?"

“…Holy Flame.”

He moved his nose.

"Where did you buy the perfume?"

"...homemade, musk, jasmine, amber, and some oud."

An Ke blinked and looked down at her chest.

"You actually put it on?"

"…Just don't wrap the bandage so tightly."

Anke suddenly didn't want to talk much. In fact, she didn't think there was anything good about being taller, having longer legs, or having bigger breasts. As a noble wizard, as long as she could make great progress on the path of magic, she would be fine. Besides, she was still growing.

There was silence for a while.

"Let's go. We've agreed with the pharmacist and the others to meet in front of the theater in the upper city in half an hour. It's almost time now."

"it is good."

"What do you usually eat?"

"In the cafeteria, we eat compressed dry rations when we're on a mission. Why are you asking this all of a sudden? I'm so angry, Dad!"

"Just asking, it's okay."

……

Theater in Uptown.

A dozen priests and police officers with sad faces stood in front of the door, attracting the attention of passers-by.

When An Ke and the others arrived, they just saw the pharmacist walking out of the theater.

Behind him was Droke, and next to him was a beautiful young girl dressed as a dancer, who was crying and holding his arm, as if saying something.

Seeing this, An Ke twitched her lips.

Why do they have to gather at the theater? Because the pharmacist wants to find Droke. Why does Droke live in the theater? Because his childhood sweetheart and fiancée Lisa is the theater owner's beloved daughter. Here is a classic story of a poor boy and a dancing girl.

In short, Droke hurried back to Red Rock Town after receiving the news, partly out of his so-called sense of professionalism as a witcher, and partly for his hometown and girlfriend.

"Oh, Miss Anke is here too."

The pharmacist waved his hand, "Let's get going now... Uh, who is this?"

"My companion, Nightingale, is also a witcher. She just arrived in Red Rock Town today..."

Before An Ke finished reading the prepared words, she saw the pharmacist winking at her frantically, as if he wanted to call her to the side.

Although she was a little confused, she still walked over.

"what happened?"

Anke was a little confused.

"Then... those eyes of hers, the holy flames, and that strange dark gold color, I definitely didn't recognize her mistakenly. You, why did you bring the masked person here?"

The pharmacist's voice trembled. "I saw her use a spell yesterday. It was the Holy Flame Spell from the church. But I've discussed this with the priest, and he says the church doesn't even have a Holy Flame of this color."

"Ordinary ones are white, the Red Knights' are scarlet, the Witch Hunters' are blue, and the Saints' are gold. Even though there are rumors that the Inquisition seems to have black flames, dark gold is unheard of."

"To be honest, I think she...she might be a heretic."

"what?"

An Ke couldn't help but feel confused. Her first thought was that the costume manual was useless. Her second thought was that you were calling others heretics and were actually against Tian Gang.

But on second thought, she didn't refute.

Because when Hans bought the information about the witch hunting group, he did mention that the holy flame was red. This was also the reason why Anke was unable to quickly confirm Celine Weier's identity during the battle yesterday.

At this moment, another voice sounded beside him.

"Sorry, sorry. This morning, Lisa refused to let me continue to participate in the operation. I kept asking her for a long time, and she finally agreed."

Droke came over. "What are you talking about? Oh, is that our new companion? She's pretty... Uh, wait, that aura... Could she be the masked man? Damn, it was that kick she gave me yesterday that made me waste so much energy proving myself!"

An Ke hesitated to speak.

"Why are you so sure?"

"I have a good nose." Droke touched his nose proudly. "Lisa always calls me Big Dog."

As he said this, he turned around and waved to the dancer, and the two began to exchange glances again, but only for a while.

Because when Droke remembered the important matter, he and the pharmacist glanced at Celine Weier, and then stared at Anke with an expression that said we need an explanation.

I always feel that the team that I worked so hard to put together is about to fall apart again.

Anke sighed, but she decided to struggle a little longer.

"Never mind whether she's a masked person or not. Even if she is, considering the mercy you showed me yesterday, this provides a basis for cooperation. The most important thing is that we need enough combat power to fight the monsters and save Red Rock Town."

An Ke paused and said, "Don't worry about us teaming up to set a trap for you, because considering our strength, there's really no need to think crookedly."

A heartbreaking truth.

The pharmacist's face flushed red, and then he deflated like a ball. "I'm just worried that you've been cheated... Well, if Miss Anke insists, I hope she's not a bad person with ulterior motives."

Droke shrugged his shoulders, which was considered as his agreement.

Finish this side, then the other side.
