Witch, don't be so lazy

Otherwise, it would be too scary to say that I could achieve this performance just by relying on magic spells.

"My inspiration was too presumptuous. I shouldn't have asked about talent without permission."

The Chamber of Commerce director apologized, then said with genuine emotion, "I almost forgot, you're also an outstanding engraver."

The honorific blurted out so easily that even Zhu Erlin Wu 邬鏾鏾Ling Mengguan himself was stunned for a moment.

After all, in the former Cedar Town, only Lord Yom was worthy of being called that.

"Okay, this is Chief Lake. I'm sorry, but I did everything I could to avoid destroying his remains."

An Ke pointed at the zombie and said.

All of a sudden.

Everyone looked sad.

Encore too.

Because he is a zombie, although his physique is still at the first level, his magic power and negative energy are not bad, but his soul is pitifully weak, even worse than those leaders of the Huangtu Gang.

There is no way. Among the three major branches of the Summoning of the Dead, the Zombie branch is notoriously weak in spirit. Only by becoming a black warrior can it be slightly better.

After they cleaned up the battlefield, they had to go to the Huangtu Gang to deal with things there.

After all, from today onwards, this big gang that almost monopolizes all the black industries in the town has completely fallen apart.

Industries, personnel placement, and countless trivial matters to deal with.

There is no need for Encore to worry about these things, just wait for the money to be divided.

After all, she had already taken a quick look. By the standards of a mage, Thornes had no savings at all and was a poor guy, but it was understandable that he had spent almost all of his money on causing trouble and still had to pay tribute to the Disaster Cult.

Speaking of the Disaster Cult.

Anko blinked.

……

Hans Magic Shop.

The wind chimes swayed.

Hans was lying in a rocking chair. Seeing Anke's appearance, he acted very calmly:

"It seems you're well-informed. Something's happened at the Huangtu Gang's base. Your mission might be ruined. Are you planning to discuss this with me..."

"I blew it up."

"...?"

Without waiting for the stunned Hans to ask any questions, Anke sat down and started muttering.

"It's done. Thornes was killed successfully. These are the secret letters the Calamity Cult gave him. I interrogated him before we took action, and the contents of the letters are fine."

She placed the secret letter on the table, then sat upright, looking well-behaved.

There was silence for a while.

Hans finally spoke.

"what?"

Chapter 74: Disaster Cult

Afternoon sunshine.

The light shone obliquely on the closed sign hanging outside the shop.

Picking up the last frosted strawberry, Anke narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, humming an unknown tune, his fingers dancing on the table.

I heard a sound at the door and turned my head. It was Hans.

"So quick?"

An Ke was a little surprised.

After the old man heard what he said, he showed an expression that said "Is this true? Don't tease me", then he let An Ke stay alone for a while and went out.

Obviously, he went to verify the authenticity of the matter.

It was only the time it took to eat a small plate of dessert, but it felt like there wasn't enough time to walk back to the Adventurer's Tavern two blocks away, and Hans actually came back.

There was a look on his face as if he had seen a ghost.

"I was also wondering, how come you're so quick?!"

Hans sat down on the chair. Although he tried to control his expression, it was of little use.

Because this is really outrageous!

"I just finished talking to you at noon, and it's not even dark yet, and you've already done it?!"

Fortunately, he gave Encore a month.

Who would have thought that it was only a few hours, and most of the time might have been spent on traveling, searching and interrogating.

"And I just asked you to investigate. Why did you just wipe out Thornes and his Desolate Gang?"

Although the "grey wolf" posed no threat in Hans' eyes, he was, after all, a wizard who had practiced seriously for many years and had trained some good apprentices.

As a result, in the time it took to take a nap, all the soldiers were killed and the base was blown up.

The key is.

Are you telling me this was a huge job that was done all by the young wizard who just completed his promotion yesterday?!

Even though Hans was knowledgeable, he still felt a little annoyed.

"Didn't you tell me to do whatever I want, and you only care about the results?"

An Ke held her little face in her hands. "According to the Mammon Society's style, if we want to get information about Qi Ba Si (c Six) Ba Qi Qi Qun, the quickest and most direct way is to ask the real person directly."

Interrogation is also asking.

"Considering that I have some personal grudges with the Huangtu Gang, and they are notorious for committing all kinds of evil, I might as well just clean it up."

She thinks there's nothing wrong with her behavior.

The main goal is to be clean and neat.

"We buy things with money... well, sometimes we use some shady tactics, but your style seems a bit... wild."

Hans couldn't help but complain, but he paused and changed the subject.

"I really only look at the results. Compared to me back then, ahem, you're a little more agile..."

When he said this, Hans felt inexplicably guilty.

Because An Ke took half a day to wipe out the Huangtu Gang, but it took him almost two weeks to eliminate the werewolf tribe.

But he thought again, he was not wrong, and no one had stipulated how much "a little bit" was.

Of course, in order to prevent the kid from noticing anything unusual, Hans quickly changed the subject:

"Well, I just saw the fight scene and the wreckage. Those guys have poor eyesight, but I understood it at a glance...

Hans paused, knocked on the table, and said meaningfully,

"Look at those remaining traces. It's a rune specialization for telekinesis magic, but in reality, it's far more than that. To quickly stack runes with telekinesis in actual combat, you need to be at least highly specialized."

"You're such a good hider, kid! You've actually managed to secretly master the Mage's Hand and Telekinetic Shield to the Expert level. Considering how quickly the battle ended, it might have been a sneak attack. That means you've at least mastered the Invisibility Spell."

We crushed the opponent openly and fairly, how can you say that we launched a sneak attack!

Encore Little Gun Nilin Basilu (VIII) Qiqijie expressed her dissatisfaction in her heart, and was also surprised by the vicious vision of the old man.

In addition to the reasons of time and preconceived notions, Hans did not notice the annihilation of the soul, and thought that she took the initiative by relying on the invisibility spell, but he could actually see most of her other skills.

There are literally two brushes.

"Is this the experience of an ordinary first-level mage? It's really amazing!"

Encore used a tone of reading in praise.

"...Humph, I didn't expect I underestimated you earlier. No wonder you kept asking me what first-rate talent was at noon. It turns out you were hiding it."

Hans pretended not to hear what the girl said and just kept talking to himself.

"But this is a good habit of yours. After all, a tall tree attracts the wind, especially since you don't have a master or family background. Sometimes others may have bad intentions, and you might die midway."

"Just as Mammon of greed lives in all hearts, so too does the serpent of jealousy follow us everywhere. What has happened before will happen again."

"The bigger the city, the more treacherous people are. The Aleman family is actually considered good. At least they sought opinions and didn't force them directly. But there are some... hehe."

Hanston paused, then changed the subject.

"Also, in the eyes of some dark wizards and cults, they love to target young wizards who have become famous, attacking, killing, seducing, and corrupting them. Sometimes, they can even serve as precious sacrifices."

He reached out and took the secret letters on the table, unfolding two of them.

"Even among the countless evil cults, the Disaster Cult is definitely one of the most formidable ones."

"Have you read the contents of the letter?"

"Ah."

Anke nodded, "This one is about the White Walkers."

The content is very short.

To Thornes:

Investigate the process of the death of the White Walkers in the royal family of Cedar Town, and try to find the royal relics, which should be a broken original seal.

If you can complete the task, the cult will give you a generous reward.

"The Scourge Cult suddenly wants to investigate the White Walkers. Does this mean that the White Walker nest was built by them?"

Anko asked.

"No, they should be in a cooperative relationship. The Scourge Cult is preparing to meet the two White Walkers on the coast and help them escape from the North with the relics."

Hans shook his head. "It's just that something went wrong along the way. The two White Walkers died, and the relics were probably destroyed in the sacrificial ceremony and the battle."

…In fact, it was destroyed in our hands.

An Ke added in his heart.

The system did it.

When the original seal was destroyed, her [Basic Meditation Method] became [Lunar Corona Meditation Method].

"After Thornes investigated the information and reported it to the cult, he obtained the knowledge crystal for the low-level zombie summoning spell and subsequent experience."

"I questioned him. He said that the letter and the reward were brought by a black snake, hidden in its belly. It disappeared after delivering the things."

Anko said.

"Ah."

Hans nodded. "The White Walkers are dead. That's a thing of the past. The important thing is this letter."

To Thornes:

After a long investigation, the Order recognizes your evil and perseverance. Following the noble will of the Northern Patriarch, they hereby grant you the final trial.

Please collect orphans with magical powers - the higher the magical talent, the better, the younger the better, no older than sixteen, and all immediate family members must be dead.

If you complete the task successfully, the cult will accept you as a full member and give you extraordinary rewards.

Signed: Withered Apostle]

"Thorns established contact with the Calamity Cult eight years ago, and has been providing them with gold and supplies continuously. However, he has always been a peripheral member, and the rewards he received were only things like the poisonous lamp grass cultivation technique, which are not particularly valuable."

"But this time was different. When he abducted the three girls from the academy, not only did he gain official membership, he also received a mastery-level negative energy transformation trick crystal. This instantly ignited his passion."

An Ke pursed her lips.

"However, Thornes didn't know what the Calamity Cult wanted these orphans to do. He didn't even fully understand the process of transporting supplies—"

"Send an ordinary coachman to Asda City with the items. The key is to use a special potion to draw a snake-shaped pattern on the carriage. That's it. The carriage will return in about a week."

"As for what happened, the driver is clueless. It seems someone must have tampered with his memory. Thornes isn't even sure if the goods actually arrived in Asda City. It's possible the Calamity Cult took them away along the way."

"I've found out the potion formula and pattern, and I'm telling you now..."
