I, Tsugumi Yuichiro, must do something

Like a wounded beast, it opened its mouth and bit Tsugikuni Yoriichi's hand.

However, given the opponent's skinny body, even an attack could not pose any threat to Tsugikuni Yoriichi.

As the opponent approached, Jiguo Yuanyi easily avoided his attack and pressed his palm on the opponent's head. A gentle white light began to shine in the cell.

The dim light was dispelled and the entire cell became bright.

When the guard saw this scene, his eyes flashed with excitement, as if he felt very honored to be able to witness this scene with his own eyes.

As the light grew brighter in the cell, the ferocious expression on the cultist's face seemed to gradually ease.

Soul purification.

Soothe the minds of people on the verge of collapse, calm them down, help them regain rationality, and enhance their spiritual strength.

It is obvious from the behavior of this believer that his entire mind has been brainwashed.

Therefore, it is basically impossible to have normal communication, but if the brainwashing factor is eliminated, then everything in life will become a lot simpler.

After all, this believer is just an ordinary person, not a strong man at all, so naturally he will not encounter any resistance.

The light shone in the cell for a while, and the cultist's expression changed from ferocious at the beginning to calm and peaceful.

And at this moment, Ji Guoyuan spoke.

"You are safe now, don't worry about anything else."

"No one here will force you to do anything you don't want to do. Your..."

The gentle voice is like a spring breeze blowing on your face, calming your mind.

As Tsugikuni Yoriichi spoke, the believer's expression became calmer and his eyes began to become a little dull.

Hypnosis.

Use language to induce others layer by layer, and once the other party agrees with your point of view, their consciousness will be taken away.

The same method was used to hypnotize Roswaal in the beginning, and now it is no longer difficult to use it on ordinary people.

As the believers were completely hypnotized by Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the next step was naturally extremely simple.

The first thing was to ask about the Witch Cult.

Things like member composition and bases.

Under hypnosis, the believer had no intention of resisting. He answered whatever Lin Yu asked and told him all the information he knew.

He told everything in detail.

"The Witch Cult's influence in Lukonica is led by His Excellency, the Archbishop of the Sin of Sloth, Betelgeuse Romanee-Conti. We are all his subordinates..."

The believers narrated the story bit by bit, but as they listened to their words, the expressions of Reinhardt and the guard beside him became a little ugly.

Because according to this believer, the Witch Cult led by the Archbishop of Sloth has extremely great power in the Kingdom of Lukenica.

Moreover, in the years since then, countless atrocities have been committed.

Even if no one has experienced these atrocities personally, just hearing about them is horrifying.

Slaughtering villages, intercepting caravans...

Many cruel things are so common in the Witch Cult.

In order to recruit believers, they often do not hesitate to forcibly brainwash people, completely depriving them of their future freedom.

This guy in front of me is just like that. Everything was taken away from him, and after being brainwashed, he became a puppet who only knew how to obey orders.

What's even more tragic is that his family was killed by the Witch Cult, and he didn't even have the ability to seek revenge, but still had to work for the Witch Cult.

After asking about everything about the Witch Cult, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi ended the hypnosis and slowly stood up.

"Lord Jiguo, I leave the Witch Cult in your care."

Reinhardt stood aside and spoke with a serious expression.

If he could not leave the capital, he would even want to deal with these cruel guys himself and make them pay for their actions!

"Well, I know. Leave this matter to me."

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi nodded seriously. With his personality, he also couldn't tolerate this matter.

Even if it wasn't for the sake of building momentum, he didn't want to let these heinous guys go. Their evil deeds were unacceptable!

Chapter 140: Pulling in the net, the fish taking the bait

According to the information obtained from the Witch Cult member, the Witch Cult spends most of its time moving around the entire Luknica Kingdom.

It is not only to avoid staying in one place for a long time and being exposed, but also to continuously develop believers and carry out various destructions.

It is precisely because of this that the Witch Cult has such a bad reputation and is extremely hated by the Kingdom of Lukenica, who regard it as a thorn in their side.

Therefore, he was unable to provide the specific location of the Witch Cult and could only tell Yoriichi Tsugikuni that it was a stronghold near the royal capital.

"I didn't expect the Demon Cult's base to be so close to the capital."

After learning about the base mentioned by the Witch Cultists, Reinhardt said with some surprise.

Because the Witch Cult's stronghold is actually within the territory of Roswaal.

It is only a day's journey from the royal capital, but no one has discovered it for all these years.

This is inextricably linked to Roswaal.

"But even if we know the base now, we still need to get some information first to see where the Witch Cult is now."

"If we're not far from the capital, maybe we can wait and see."

Ji Guoyuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, no problem. Leave this matter to me. I'll go and ask around to see if there's any recent news about the Witch Cult."

With that, the two men walked out of the prison.

Reinhardt took Tsugikoku Yoshiichi to the Knights. After asking the Knights some questions, he actually got a lot of useful information.

"It seems that the successor king is really lucky. The Witch Cult is not far away from the capital now."

"According to what that cultist said, if they want to rest, they will definitely go to the stronghold in Roswaal's territory."

After hearing the news, Reinhardt spoke with some joy.

If these guys could be caught in one fell swoop, it would definitely be something everyone would like to see.

"Indeed, it seems I can go to that base first and make some preparations."

Ji Guoyuan said with a smile that he also had no good feelings towards these guys from the Witch Cult.

Getting rid of them is not only beneficial to Emilia, but also a way of doing justice.

After leaving Reinhard for a long time, Tsugumi Yoriichi headed towards the base of the Witch Cult.

Now that the Witch Cult hasn't arrived yet, it's a good opportunity for him to make some arrangements.

According to the information from the believers, Jiguo Yuanyi came to a lonely forest.

Although this is also within the territory of the kingdom, it is within the barrier of the Monster Forest.

But it is very desolate and sparsely populated.

Flying all the way here, there weren't even many villages around. It was just like a primeval forest. Compared with the Warcraft Forest, the only difference was that there were fewer Warcraft.

After a careful search in the forest, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi finally found a secret base located on a small hill.

This stronghold was built in the belly of a mountain, and the entrance was extremely hidden. It would be impossible to find it without a careful search.

And after entering from the entrance, there is a different world inside.

I don’t know how the guys from the Witch Cult did it, but they almost completely hollowed out the entire mountain.

It was divided into rooms one after another.

There is also a huge hall with bloodstains and various torture instruments on the walls and floor.

If someone who doesn't know much comes here, they might think that this is a place of execution created by some powerful person to torture people.

"What a filthy place it is."

Ji Guoyuan looked at the surrounding environment and spoke softly, but there was a hint of seriousness on his face.

Because even if you just stand here, you can seem to hear the unwilling wails of many wronged souls.

You should know that this is just one of the many strongholds of the Witch Cult in the Kingdom of Luknica.

It's nothing at all.

Yet, this has already caused so much killing. One can imagine how cruel and brutal the entire Witch Cult is.

Jigoku Yoshiichi walked around the mountain and finally stopped at the center of the hall and stomped his feet lightly.

A barrier filled with various mysterious patterns suddenly appeared in the hall.

This barrier emitted a faint light, illuminating the entire hall.

As the barrier expanded, the barrier, which was originally just a dead object, continued to expand as if it had life.

From the main hall at the beginning, to the corridors connecting the rooms, and all the rooms.

All of them are covered by these barriers.

Finally, after the barrier covered the entire stronghold, these flashing lines of light sank into the ground, walls, and ceiling and disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, all the barriers completely disappeared.

Ji Guoyuan checked around and made sure there were no mistakes, then turned around and left.

Now that the net has been laid, the rest of the time is easy.

That means waiting for the prey to come.

As for whether he would be discovered by those people from the Witch Cult, Yoriichi Tsugikoku was not worried at all.

After all, mana and spiritual power are two completely different systems. Unless you are someone who has also cultivated spiritual power, it is impossible to find any clues.

Arriving at the door of the stronghold, Jiguo Yuanyi took a deep look and turned to leave.

"I hope I won't be too disappointed."

. . . . . .

The waiting time is always long.

However, with the help of Reinhard, news of the Witch Cult has been coming in sporadically.

During this time, almost half a month passed.

One day, Tsugumi Yoshiichi was studying Yang-attribute magic at home when he suddenly had an idea.

The barrier left in the Witch Cult's stronghold was triggered by someone.

"It looks like the fish has finally taken the bait."

After closing the magic book, Ji Guoyuan stood up and was about to go out.

"Jiguojun, it's time for dinner."

At this time, Emilia knocked on the door gently to call Ji Guoyuan to eat.

"I won't eat for now. You guys eat. There's news from the Witch Cult. I need to go deal with it."

"Witch Cult?!"

Hearing what Tsugikuni Yoriichi said, Emilia widened her eyes slightly and spoke in surprise.

"Well, I've made some arrangements at their base. I'll be able to find out as soon as they return, so I'm going to close the net now."

As Jiguo Yuanyi said this, he smiled at Emilia.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be back soon. Remember to wait for me at the city gate after dinner. I'll need to talk to you later."

Chapter 141: Pettychius Romanee-Conti, Archbishop of Sloth and Sin

After bidding farewell to Emilia, Ji Guoyuan flew all the way to the base of the Witch Cult.

The barrier he set up had no other function, it could simply trap people inside.
