Chapter 122: Dark Tide
This may be the first time in human history that a witch and a witch sit peacefully on the same bench, while a two-hahua, three-headed dog squats in the open space next to the bench, even trying to pretend to be a vegetarian.
And it was Gu Yun who contributed to this feat.
The sky outside the window was white, and several people sent Lao Xu back to the hospital in the city overnight, and the two ladies were overly frightened, so they went home first, and in addition to the three of them, only Lu Renjie, who slept a few minutes ago, was left.
"So, Marianne Sesia was really repelled by you?"
Spero reasoned his thoughts, and when he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the well-behaved three-headed dog again, it was certain that this three-headed dog would never be afraid of himself again, and it should not be afraid of its owner.
Then only Gu Yun would be left.
"I've said it six times, don't you have a bad memory?"
Gu Yun was a little impatient, he had said it six times along the way today, and if you added the encounter when he was in the foundation branch, it would have been more than six times.
"It's not that I have a bad memory, it's just that it's a little hard to accept all of a sudden."
To be honest, when he was in the Foundation branch, Spero didn't believe Shen Yue and Gu Yun's words, as a descendant of the witch hunter family who had fought against witches for centuries, he knew very well the strength of the Dusk Witch, and in order to kill Marianne Sescia, he traveled thousands of miles to track down the whereabouts of the "Holy Lance-Barrow".
But now he had some faith, not only the three-headed dog's attitude towards Gu Yun, but also because Gu Yun had obviously received a holy spear just now, but before the cooldown of the spell was finished, the wound on the latter's hand had already healed automatically.
"In other words, after this little witch was captured by you, she planned to change her mind and change her ways?"
"What does it mean to change the evil and return to the right, I haven't done anything bad in the first place, at least I was caught before I could do anything bad." Avril Avril said that the life of an apprentice was spent in full study, and before she became an official witch, she suddenly woke up and decided to follow her current boss, "Where did you get so many questions?" Don't think that you can compete with the master mother if you get the holy spear, you can't even beat the three-headed dog and still want to see the master mother? ”
"No matter how strong she is, she is still a human after all, as long as she is pierced through the heart by the bullet of the holy spear, she will die."
It's a pity that "Holy Lance-Barrow" was created a hundred years after the original joint crusade against the Witch of Dusk, otherwise his ancestors would have completely ended Marian's legend at that time.
"Hey, I can actually say that I can talk about the cold gun in a fresh and refined way, I really deserve to be a demon hunter."
Avril doesn't miss a single act that damages Spero, and it's instinct for all supernatural creatures to strike hard at witchers, even the apprentices.
"You who bow to evil and lust will never understand."
Spero frowned.
Although they are called witchers, they are actually just a group of ordinary people with special knowledge, and the reason why the witcher profession was born is to give ordinary people the power to fight against evil creatures.
Through thousands of years of accumulation and research, they have summed up the weaknesses of all kinds of supernatural creatures, and some sages have cracked the essence of the spell and used it to hunt those evil creatures, and because of this, they will become stronger and stronger, because every witcher stands on the shoulders of giants, and the predecessors will always fight with them with the knowledge they created.
"Moreover, there are no invincible creatures in this world, it is just that we have not found a way to kill them for the time being."
"That's a good point, you haven't answered why you're here!"
"Because that abandoned building is one of the most supernatural locations in the city, and I'm here to track down a witch."
"Other witches?" Gu Yun couldn't help but speak, "Haven't they already evacuated?" ”
Whether it is Marianne's own statement or the information obtained by the Foundation branch, it is confirmed that the witches who invaded City X have retreated in a big way.
"Her identity is a little special, as if she is a local."
Spero couldn't help but think back to the girl he had met at the airport on the day he lost his luggage, the first Oriental witch he had ever encountered since he was born, and there was no such record in the family books or guild information.
Marianne Thesia had never expanded into a "foreign market" before.
"I know her."
Master Luo's daughter, Gu Yun didn't persuade the other party at that time, because before he arrived, Luo Xin had already made up her mind, "She is not a dangerous person. ”
"Yes, after coming to this city, my worldview has been greatly impacted."
Spero sighed.
He went to great lengths to get the "Holy Lance-Barrow", and he wanted to end the history of witches here, but the Witch of Dusk herself did not encounter it, and the only two witches he met were actually engaged in witch hunters.
Avril can still explain that she is cowardly and has to bow her head to Gu Yun, and the oriental girl she met before is really not clear.
In recent years, the economic environment has been so bad that even witches have come to steal business from witches if they don't pay attention.
"The witch I mentioned seems to be investigating the legends here, really, what's going on in your city?"
Spero has traveled all year round and south to solve all kinds of supernatural events, traveling between the continents, and he has never seen a place like X City where strange things happen. He had read the information provided to him by the branch, and in this month alone, there had been at least five paranormal events that could be determined, and more than a dozen were listed suspected and undetermined.
This kind of frequency is about to become a part of people's daily life.
"We are also investigating."
Gu Yun said.
"We" refers to Wang Lu and him, the former has been investigating the matter day and night since the Ghoul incident, and he only needs to play the role of a thug in this team.
"Don't you even know?"
Spero's expression was a little solemn, and at worst, maybe the city was hiding a darker side than Marianne Sescia.
He had planned to make sure that the Witch of Twilight had retreated before leaving.
"It looks like we're going to have to stay a little longer."
The original intention of the birth of the profession of witcher is to save people, regardless of the country and faith, this is the creed of the Winchester family, and it is also the creed of every witcher.
"Don't, you'd better go back quickly, you're too weak, you can't help much anyway."
"Knock ——!"
Before the words fell, Avril slapped Gu Yun heavily on the back of her head, "Strong and weak are a matter of ability, whether to do it or not is a matter of character, ability is easy to improve, but character is difficult to change." ”
"Uh, I know wrong."
Avril, who was very arrogant just now, covered her head and begged for mercy.
"But Avril is right about one thing, you are too dependent on external objects and neglect your own practice." Gu Yun turned to Spero and said, "I don't know, are you interested in the 'Destruction Fist Technique'?" ”
