Witch, don't be so lazy

The moon sets and the sun rises.

The dazzling golden sun rises from the end of the yellow sand, and its warm light passes over the Gobi Desert and the oasis, shining on the quiet Hongyan Town.

The flames and smoke had disappeared, the dirty blood had long since solidified, and even part of the church's towering bell tower had collapsed.

Sitting on the edge of the rooftop, An Ke swung her snow-white legs and stretched lazily:

"Finally done it, I'm so tired."

After working all night, they finally wiped out all the monsters in the town.

And with the prompt that popped up from the spirit world, the final additional task was successfully completed.

"This series of quests, especially the Devil's Saint, would be incredibly difficult even for a regular mage to complete. If I complete it, I'm sure I'll gain a truly remarkable talent."

Anke tilted her head and looked at Celine Weier who was leaning against the wall. From this angle, she could just see her beautiful face and the beauty mole at the corner of her eye.

"Ah."

The girl's figure had begun to twist slightly. She had stayed there for too long and was about to be forced out of the spirit world tour.

"I've told you all the methods and conditions for drawing the sacrificial array. You can clean up the corpses of those monsters later. Although they are just small fry, it's easier to hold a sacrifice in the spirit world than in the physical world. It would be a waste not to take them."

Celine Weier raised her head and looked into the distance. The slanting light of the morning sun gradually climbed up from her neck to her shiny black hair, casting a light orange glow.

"Of course, if you don't want to be too deeply involved with the Dark Sun Lord and don't intend to continue serving as his priest, then don't perform the sacrifice."

Anko shrugged.

"I should still be able to take on the role for a short period of time. He at least enhanced my spells. The Eye of Judgment is much more powerful than Insight. I am still grateful."

The key point is that the system gave her an anonymous vest, and then she became a priest of the Dark Sun Lord, directly deceiving the newborn god, so she was not afraid of any problems. At worst, she could just terminate the contract.

Moreover, An Ling.梦疑二邻7傘林（七）o失覇but she was still thinking about the blessing of the gods, wondering when she could get one to play with.

"That's fine too."

Celine Weier said softly, she turned her head and said calmly, "I'm leaving, goodbye, Ann..."

She stopped short.

Because she noticed An Ke flipping over from the edge of the rooftop, first with her hands on her hips, then opening her arms, with a playful smile on her face, and winking at her:

"Do you remember your promise before the battle? After defeating the demon, you must give me a hug! Lady Saint, you can't go back on your word, right?"

Celine Weier was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"of course not."

She gently hugged the girl's petite body, which was soft and cuddly like a cute little doll.

The breath when speaking brushed against the neck, making the ears feel a little red for some reason.

"Don't die, you still owe me a disguise manual. If the Saint breaks her promise, the little priest will be furious."

Anke said slyly at first, then said solemnly, "Good luck, Weir!"

"I never promised that. Don't make up the facts."

Celine Weier showed a helpless but doting smile, then nodded solemnly and replied softly:

"Thank you, may the morning light always favor you."

Light and shadow change.

Like a wisp of smoke dissipating in the air.

The girl was the only one left on the rooftop, and the morning light shone on her, like a blessing and a farewell.

……

"Really? Stop bullying newly born gods! When will you change to wishing for the Dark Sun's favor?"

An Ke couldn't help but mutter, then glanced at the corpses of the monsters lying in the ruins, and scratched his head again.

"Even though it looks like I'm feeding garbage, we're still a proper sacrifice after all, so this certainly doesn't count as bullying!"

Clean up the battlefield.

Perhaps because the priest is one level lower than the saint, whether it is the complexity of the magic circle or the magic power consumed, Encore's sacrifice is obviously not as easy as Celine Weil's.

But it doesn’t matter.

Because there was nothing else in Hongyan Town that could disturb her.

It was done slowly and leisurely, and then in the vague perception, there was a little more light on the star around the black sun, so weak that it was almost imperceptible.

It's really a mosquito leg.

I don’t know how long it will take to accumulate so much before I can finally exchange it for a powerful blessing.

Anko nudged him, then found a clean place to lie down.

Wait quietly.

Until that moment comes.

[Required Mission - Get to Hongyan Town before sunset and successfully survive in the town for five days]

Completed!

The moment the prompt appears.

An Ke had an idea.

then.

It's like pressing the pause button on the whole world.

Everything in Anke's eyes began to distort, turning into mottled light and shadow, like a flame swaying in the wind, and then like a masterpiece of an abstract painter.

Finally, the surroundings became pure white, and this was a white world.

Only golden words flashed before my eyes.

【Required Task】——Complete!

[Witcher's Professional Ethics: Killing Dark Creatures (739)]——Settlement!

[Careful as a Hair: Thoroughly Investigate the Mutation Incident]——Completed!

[The Devil's Saints: Saving Red Rock]——Completed!

The text fades.

A series of changing pictures appeared in front of me.

It contains all of Encore's experiences in Hongyan Town.

Climbing out of the broken carriage, slaying monsters, walking across the endless desert, hunkering down and chasing, hunting the howling blood moths, the fallen old priest, the howling demon wolves...

Everything is switching back and forth.

Anke couldn't help but hold his breath.

Because she is currently drawing on her spiritual talents, this is bound to affect her future path as a mage.

Although Anke is from the Chaos School and has the ability to gain experience, it is much easier for him to change schools than for others, but he is still nervous.

It's okay if it's a powerful talent, but if you draw useless stuff like "Photographic Memory", "Dextrous Left Hand", "Detective Seven Blades, Wu Si Liu's Wife Abandoned Detective Evil", etc., you will not be able to sleep for three days and three nights.

Although with Encore's mission completion rate, these useless things mentioned above should not appear in the drawn card pool.

In theory, there have been cases in history where people with very little spiritual talent still became legendary mages. However, combat and training were obviously more difficult for them, and their final achievements were inevitably affected.

at last.

The picture froze.

That was the picture of Anko on the top floor of the bell tower, posing in prayer and acting as a priest.

However, some things in the picture are different from the facts.

First, Celine Weir in front of him disappeared, and was replaced by a white demon statue with goat horns and bat-like wings spread out. It was wearing a colorful dance costume and holding a recorder. Its face could not be seen clearly, but it was in a posture of kneeling on the ground, looking up at Encore Qi'ershan O Si Jiu (Seven) San Temple.

The angel statue next to it has also changed. It has been replaced by a female statue whose face cannot be seen clearly. One hand is still holding an open gospel, but the bronze bell held high in the other hand has become a wind chime.

The stained windows in the bell tower had actually broken prematurely, and the bright moon was hanging outside, with frosty moonlight shining in.

Golden words slowly emerged.

[Devil's Gospel: Cleanse the sinful soul, listen to the sublime gospel, and return to your embrace]

An Ke looked at the scene, his whole body was in shock. Master Scar was stunned.

And when she focused her attention on the text, some information emerged in her consciousness that made her open her eyes wide.

Just keep silent.

It's not that it's weak, this thing is ridiculously strong, but it's just a little too evil.

Don’t be fooled by the nice and decent description, which talks about cleansing sins and returning to embrace. In fact, you can understand how dark it is after translating it.

"Cleansing" means removing the filth and memories in the soul, leaving only a small amount of pure spiritual power, and then "returning to embrace", that is, letting Encore absorb it.

...To put it bluntly, isn't this talent simply about devouring the souls of other creatures and increasing one's own mental strength?!

It is certainly very powerful, and is even among the top types of mental talents.

Because relying solely on this ability, as long as given enough time, it can completely make up for the mental power gap with other extraordinary creatures until it reaches the peak that its form and level can bear.

And the most important thing is that there is no pollution.

There are indeed methods of devouring souls in the magical world. Wizards in the dark world are always keen on these methods, and some monsters also have similar abilities.

However, the filth and memories that cannot be completely removed always haunt them, making them more and more crazy as their spirits grow. Their magic power inevitably gets out of control, and finally leads to tragedy.

Even for demons known for their skill in manipulating souls, most of them would have to go through some tedious operations if they wanted to obtain a powerful and completely pure soul.

Anyway, in the legend, only the most powerful demons, such as those worshipped by the Old Empire, and some special beings, such as the "Pied Dancer", can plunder souls unscrupulously.

"Pied Dancer" is not very good either, because his birth is too special, and he may have always been out of control, so he simply doesn't care about pollution.

An Ke was silent for a while as he looked at the statue of the devil in flowery clothes kneeling and looking up at him.

Then he looked at the female statue whose face could not be seen clearly, and the bright moon hanging outside the stained glass window.

She felt that she could vaguely guess the origin of this talent.

The "New Van Helsing" plan of the "Soul Chain" experiment, if the "Soul Chain" is pushed back further, it seems to be the Laurel Dynasty of the elves.

"[Devil's Gospel], this time he's no longer a born Mammon imp, he's become a born devil."

She sighed, "This talent cannot be exposed at all. It's not just to the point of being killed, but someone might even kidnap her and use her for experiments."

If I had to say the only shortcoming of this talent, this might be it.

But it’s okay, after all, under normal circumstances, spiritual talents are the secrets of the caster.

As long as she is careful when using her talent and doesn't let anyone notice, it will be fine.

Now An Ke suddenly felt fortunate to have become a priest of the "Lord of the Dark Sun".

Because the closer the connection with the higher-level existence, the more difficult it is to use so-called divination and prophecy.

Of course, having said that, An Ke felt that with the system in place, it might not be realistic for her to be able to completely predict and predict herself, otherwise she would have been arrested long ago.

I thought about it for a while.

The pure white world has undergone new changes.

The picture was distorted and shattered, along with endless light and shadows, constantly converging towards her.

Rank promotion.

It's a very strange feeling.

Anke felt like she was floating up and then sinking, expanding and then compressing.

She might have become iron, enduring repeated forging; she might have become a balloon, with an unknown torrent surging into her body; she might be a candle swaying in the wind, standing on the edge of destruction and renewal; or she might be a small boat floating on the sea, rising and falling with the waves...

But it wasn't painful.

Instead, it felt warm, like soaking in a hot spring.

Confused, as if I had just dozed off.

When Anke opened her eyes again, she was back in the meditation room in the Adventurer's Guild.
