Chapter Seventy-Seven: Inquiry

About ten minutes after Maier entered, a waitress came out to Ullise and said that Maier was going to stay here a little longer, and that she might have lunch with Yishan. Writing "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Yulisi knew that Yishan was showing off her victory to herself, and she was very unhappy in her heart, but she could only go back with the guards first.

However, Maier left Yishan's place after dinner. If it weren't for Yishan's shame to stay with him for the night, he would definitely be staying in the City Lord's Mansion tonight.

It's a real headache to have a wayward cousin......

Mel rubbed his temples tiredly, but doing so didn't ease the fatigue. He played with Yishan all day, playing chess, practicing swords, and coaxing her to have lunch and dinner, and after dinner, he accompanied her to walk in the city lord's mansion to digest food, and when it was completely dark, Yishan reluctantly let him go.

"Mr. Meyer?"

Before Maier could take a breath, Lanning with a lantern appeared in his sight.

In fact, after Maier and Euris left the dungeon, the two sent Lanning back to the shrine maiden of Rimi Shrine before going to Yishan. After returning to the station, Lanning has been unable to settle down due to the affairs of the witch, so she can only go to Euris's house to exchange theology with Maier.

But Mel was not in the house, and Euris told Lanning with an unhappy face that Maier was still there with Yishan, so Lanning ran outside Yishan's residence and waited, which was a whole day.

"Huh? Your Excellency the Witch? Why are you here? ”

"Huh?"

Lan Ning, who had been waiting all day, had long forgotten her original purpose, she was looking for Maier just to distract herself, waiting stupidly outside Yishan's residence to pass the time, and now the feeling of being entangled in her heart was almost gone.

"That...... I...... I'm just ...... Walk. ”

"Oh, then you go ahead. It was getting late, so I went home first. ”

With that, Maier took the lantern from the maid who had sent him out, motioned for her to return, and walked in the direction of the gate of the lord's palace. Lanning stared blankly at Myer's back, until it was almost gone, and suddenly remembered that he had come to talk to Myer about theology, and hurriedly chased after him.

"Mr. Meyer!"

"Huh?"

When Maier heard Lanning's voice, she stopped and turned her head in confusion.

"Your Excellency, do you have anything else?"

"Uh...... That ......"

It was getting lateβ€”and Maier had already mentioned it, so it was impossible for Lanning to talk to him about theology again. But then she had no reason to stop Meyer, and there was no reason to hurry up to him. If she casually says, "It's okay, please poop", it will make Mel feel concerned.

"I ...... I want to ask Mr. Maier, will you come tomorrow to interrogate those witches? ”

Because he had been entangled in the matter of the evil witch in his heart, Lan Ning accidentally asked what was in his heart.

Originally, Maier had almost forgotten about the witch's desire to surrender, but as soon as Lan Ning mentioned it, his brow furrowed again.

Are they genuinely repentant, or are they acting in front of me?

The leader did swear and was not punished by God, but Dad told me that swearing is something that can be tricked. For example, the word "innocent" is a very subjective word. What is Innocence? How can you be considered innocent? Is the innocence in her eyes the same thing as the innocence in my eyes? It's not clear what to say. If the innocence in her eyes is not the same thing as the innocence in my eyes, she is not a lie, so she has not been punished by God.

Do you want her to swear again? Or let every witch swear an oath? If they don't, they will have a ghost in their hearts.

But what is innocence in my eyes?

Mel scratched his hair anxiously, and since Lanning was still waiting for his answer, his mental activity could only end there.

"I guess so."

But in reality, for Lanning, Mayr's answer didn't matter at all. She was very panicked because she accidentally said what was in her heart.

"Yes, that's right." Lan Ning pretended to be calm and smiled, "If you still need my help, you must not be polite." ”

Lan Ning wanted to say a few polite words to hide the panic in her heart, but her words meant something else in Myer's opinion.

Her Excellency the Witch Maiden actually took the initiative to help, did she care about these evil witches very much?

Does she want to solve the problem of the witch once and for all, or is she looking for an opportunity to distract us?

With what Mel knew about Lanning, both were possible. Lanning is a person with a sense of justice, very principled, and she is very loyal to Rimi Shrine, Mel does not know the weight of justice and loyalty in Lanning's heart, so he is not sure of Lanning's purpose. To find out, Maier decides to take a risk.

"Then there's Her Excellency the Witch of the Elder Labor."

Lanning didn't expect Maier to take on this matter, so he could only take the job with a smile on his face.

"It's okay, it's a gesture."

After separating from Maier, Lanning wanted to slap himself a few times, but he couldn't do it after all.

Upon returning home, Maier immediately asked Kiki, who was guarding the door, to summon Leaf and Bird to his room to get some necessary information from them.

"How much do you know about these witches?"

Faced with the master's questioning, Xiaoye and Xiaobird did not dare to hold back, so they told Meier everything they had learned.

At the beginning of its formation, the brigade of Jiumu 33 originally had six squads, with a total number of more than ninety people. At first, Kugi Thirty-three, like the other brigades, only left two squads by his side, and let the other four squads be stationed in the activity area. As a result, before she could make any moves, the four squads stationed in the field were ambushed by the slave traders and all of them were wiped out, two of them were wiped out, and the remaining two squads were also severely damaged.

In order to protect his subordinates, Kugi Thirty-Three could only gather the remaining four squads together, reorganize them, and ask for assistance from the law enforcement team. The law enforcement team ignored Kugi's request and simply reported the team's battle damage to the Black Shrine, and it didn't take long for the Black Shrine to replenish some personnel.

Even so, there were still only four squads under Kugi Thirty-three, and the total number of people was no more than sixty. Kugi Thirty-three was afraid that something would happen to the foreign team again, so he left all four teams by his side. Later, the group of slave traders came again, and Kugi Thirty-three fought with them and defeated them, but Kugi Thirty-three also suffered heavy losses, and the whole army was less than twenty men.

After she handed over the captured armor and weapons to the Black Shrine, the Black Shrine drew some people from each team to replenish it. The Witch Maiden's brigade, which received the order, threw the most unpopular person in the group to Kugi Thirty-three, and let Kugi Thirty-three gather sixty people. Counting herself, there were sixty-one people in the brigade.

Strange to say, after that, no one died in Kugi's 33rd brigade, and even they themselves thought it was very incredible. What's more, Jiumu Thirty-three found that his team was full of people from the Muzi Camp and the Rock Character Battalion, and their origins were very regular.

In addition to Jiumu 33, there are 8 people from the 13th phase of the Muzi Camp, 6 people from the 14th phase of the Yanzi Camp, 15 people from the 15th phase of the Muzi Camp, 13 people from the 16th phase of the Yanzi Camp, and the rest are from the 17th phase of the Muzi Camp.

The witch maiden's apprenticeship camp is not like the apprenticeship camp of the regular shrine, there is a special long witch to guide the apprentice witch, and the great witch will come to give you guidance every once in a while. The Witch Maiden's apprenticeship camp is a period of apprentice witches of the same age, and at the age of fifteen, they will automatically graduate and be assigned to various teams.

The instructor in the apprenticeship camp is the Shrine Shrine sent by the shrine, and in order to prevent the shrine maidens from cultivating their own power in the apprenticeship camp, the Witch Shrine's apprenticeship camp adopts a "regular rotation system". This "period" refers not only to the time, but also to the year when the trainee miko is close to graduation. The fourteen-year-old apprentice shrine maiden is only one year away from graduation, so it is called the "first phase", the thirteen-year-old is called the "second phase", and so on.

If a shrine maiden starts with one class, then she can only take one class before she is transferred out of the apprenticeship camp. After a year, she will be transferred out of her current apprenticeship camp to another apprenticeship camp with another class, and the cycle will continue over and over again for another year.

When he was idle, Kugi Thirty-three conducted an investigation on his subordinates. She was surprised to find that her subordinates had one thing in common, that is, when they were in the first semester, the instructor was a witch named "Seven Grass Eighteen".

Kugi Thirty-three had never heard of an evil witch from the Cursive Camp - to be exact, she hadn't heard of any Cursive Camp at all. When she didn't become the captain, she also worked in the evil witch's team, and she had accumulated a lot of experience over the years, at least she could name most of the trainee camps.

Could it be that the cursive script camp is a training camp dedicated to cultivating witches?

Since there were no clues, Kugi Thirty-three could only come to such a conclusion.

Before attacking the cottage of the white madman, Jiumu Thirty-three easily investigated the brigade under her four friends, and found that there were also many people from the Muzi Battalion and the Yanzi Battalion in their brigade, among which the total number of graduates of the 13th Muzi Battalion, the 14th Rock Character Stage, the 15th Wooden Character Phase, the 16th Rock Character and the 17th Wooden Character Graduates was about one-tenth, plus the sixty people under her command, the total number was 105 people.

Since the Muzi Camp and the Yanzi Camp were established in the same year, the latest batch of graduates of the two trainee camps are all 18th (those who graduated exceptionally due to the incident in the 29th village are not counted), but strangely, there are no graduates of the 18th phase of the Muzi Battalion, as well as the 17th and 18th phases of the Yanzi Battalion.

When Kugi Thirty-three told Xiaoye and Xiaoniao about these things, he just regarded it as an interesting thing, and Xiaoye and Xiaotori thought so too. If it weren't for Mel's telling them to focus on it, they would have told the story of each witch, repeatedly emphasizing that they didn't want to do anything bad.

The recurring numbers in the story remind Maier of the incident where he smashed dyed pottery at Rimi Shrine. He had never been clear why the number of fragments was always "30" and "167", and after listening to the affairs of the Jiumu Thirty-three Brigade, he vaguely felt that these two numbers might have some special meaning.

Even if it's for this puzzle, I can't let Yishan sell them.

Myr made a secret decision.

Kugi Thirty-three never dreamed that saving herself and her subordinates was a puzzle that she thought was interesting. Of course, Mel didn't want to keep Kugi and her team for the sake of a puzzle.

In the story of Leaf and Bird, Mel discovers that the group's way of acting is clearly different from that of other witches. They have a bottom line in what they do, and they won't consider cannibalism even if they run out of food. Maier judged that these bottom lines should have been taught to them by the witch named "Seven Grass Eighteen".

In this way, Maier became interested in the black shrine shrine maiden numbered "Seven Grass Eighteen", and the idea of finding the black shrine became even more determined.
