Larcana, the capital of the empire, the headquarters of the agricultural church.

In the room, the magic lamp was still on.

"Blazing potato, good thing, this deal is really the right one." Pope Dominic looked at the seeds on the table with a slight smile on his face.

Ever since the church began to promote the seeds of the flaming sweet potato.

In just a few days, this extremely high-yielding crop became famous.

Although large-scale cultivation had not yet begun, and all the propaganda was only one side of the story of the agricultural church, and the exact yield was unknown, no one doubted the church's integrity in such matters. Behind the church stood the gods, how could the great gods deceive them, lowly mortals.

The agricultural church was in the limelight for a while, and even the number of believers increased a lot.

"Sea Blue Town Barr."

"Hehe, young man, he just likes to be in the limelight." Picking up a card next to the seed, Dominique smiled, remembering when he was younger, "Hey, time flies." ”

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Dominic put down the card in his hand.

A middle-aged werewolf in armor walked in and saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty the Pope." ”

"Demps, is there anything you're here for?" Dominic asked, looking up.

"Envoy Bart has just sent an order to mobilize the Holy Guard." The middle-aged werewolf walked over to the table and placed a yellow and green transparent crystal in his hand on the table.

The Holy Guard is the core force of the agricultural church.

Although their numbers are small, they are powerful, and only believers above the leader level are eligible to apply to join them.

Members of the Holy Guard have a high status within the Church, and under normal circumstances, only the Pope himself has the power to mobilize this team. Even for high-ranking oracles, the transfer of them requires the consent of the Pope himself.

"Yes, Bart Oracle." Dominic's face was also solemn.

The goddess attaches great importance to this oracle, and a few days ago she sent down an oracle asking him to do everything possible to facilitate this oracle. Although he did not understand why the great goddess of agriculture attached so much importance to this Bart, he could also see that the goddess was very fond of him.

The oracle is no small thing.

Brush.

Dominic picked up the crystal on the table, and the message came to his mind.

"Oh, it turned out that Minotaur Lord had an accident." Dominic thought for a moment, then got up and said, "Demps, immediately ask the Holy Guard Commander Feige to come and see me. ”

As soon as the words fell.

"Your Majesty the Pope doesn't need to shout Feiqi, I'll just take a trip." A gentle voice rang out from outside the door, and then a figure appeared in the doorway.

"Bishop Brenda." Demps said respectfully.

"Brenda, why do you have time to come to me today?" Dominique laughed, "You're familiar with that Minotaur Lord, and it would be great if you were willing to do it." ”

In addition to being the bishop of the Agricultural Church, Brenda is also the elder of the Earth Elemental Clan, with a noble and powerful identity, and the entire Elemental Clan behind him. On weekdays, even if he is the Pope, it is not easy for him to send at will.

"Hmm."

Brenda nodded, and turned to leave.

Dominic doesn't care either, elemental beings don't like to communicate with people in the first place, and the earth elemental, which likes to be quiet, is the best of them.

"Demps, you go down."

"Yes."

The middle-aged werewolf turned and left.

"It's the Blackstone Mountains again." Dominic muttered.

......

It was just dawning, and after a rainstorm, the mountain roads became a little muddy.

"After the mountain ahead, there are less than a thousand kilometers left from the quicksand road." Bart looked up at the front, took out the Glory Crystal, and sent the coordinates to Colin at this time.

Directly in front of you is a steep mountain with steep slopes and cliffs on all sides.

"I can only get around, but it's a lot farther away."

Barr patted Hoof Wind on the head, and Hoof Wind immediately turned around and ran towards the valley to the northeast.

Not only is the terrain complicated, but you will also encounter some powerful monsters from time to time.

In this case, in order to save time, Barr directly used the Straw Hat's teleportation ability to leave quickly. However, using the straw hat not only consumes a lot of MP, but also has a lot of restrictions on the distance of each transmission, and the maximum is only about 50 kilometers.

There are very few potions in the world of Rand that can restore MP, and equipment that speeds up recovery is even rarer.

It will take a long time for his current MP of more than 200,000 to recover.

At this time, his MP value is only half small, even if he uses the ability of the straw hat, at most, it can only allow him to teleport more than 100 kilometers, so naturally he has to save some use.

Brush –

Barr rode into the valley like a phantom.

At the top of the cliff at the end of the valley, a huge pterosaur covered in black scale armor stood, its huge eyes fixed on the valley below. The pterosaur opened its mouth slightly, its sharp teeth glittering in the sunlight.

The light on the surface of the pterosaur's body flowed, and its massive body slowly became transparent, and then disappeared.

in the valley.

"What's going on, how could I suddenly have a feeling of extreme danger." Barr looked around. Just now, he suddenly felt like he was on his back, as if he was being targeted by some powerful monster. But this feeling disappeared immediately, and I don't know if it was his delusion.

"Am I too nervous?" Barr was secretly on guard.

But when nothing happened until he got out of the valley, Barr was relieved.

According to the information from Colin, Elder Brenda was already on his way, and when Brenda arrived, the humans behind him would not be afraid.

......

"Found it, I expected it to be good, this soul possession can really be used on these minions."

On a hillside behind him, Raymond opened his eyes.

"Big brother, do you want to catch up now?" The knife-wielding man next to him asked.

"Don't worry, this kid has the ability to teleport, and rushing to catch up with him may only make him slip away again, so he must be fully prepared." Raymond smiled slightly, and hundreds of summoned creatures began to move under his orders, blocking Baal's path.

"Fourth sister, I remember that you learned a rare tracking skill a long time ago, right?" Raymond thought for a moment.

"Big brother actually remembers." The woman in red spoke, "Not bad. A hundred years ago, my second brother and I killed a leader-level fish monster in the Infinite Sea, and dropped a rare skill book called the Soul Mark, which I learned at that time. ”

"When you say that, I also remember, there is such a thing." The middle-aged man on the side also said.

"That's fine." Raymond laughed, "The cooldown of the transfer door is almost over, but the energy reserve is only enough for one person to teleport. Fourth sister, when the cooldown is over, you use the transfer door to rush to the front of this kid to ambush, and when you fall, you will cast a soul mark to lock his position. ”

"In this way, even if he has the ability to teleport, he won't want to escape."

"Okay." The woman in red nodded.

"It's still the eldest brother's thoughtfulness." The strong man with the knife on the side smiled.

"Take it." Raymond took out a white ring that shimmered and handed it to the woman in red.

The woman in red took the ring.

In a few moments, the ring in her hand flashed with light.

"Locate coordinates (15147, 22358), that minotaur will pass by here soon, be careful." Raymond opened his eyes. Soul possession allows him to temporarily attach a portion of his spiritual power to creatures with whom he has a spiritual connection, and then probe information from afar.

"Don't worry."

The woman in red raised the ring in her hand, and a burst of white light flashed, and her figure disappeared.

"We're keeping up, too."

A huge red strange bird fell from the sky, and the three of Raymond jumped on the back of the giant bird, and the giant bird flapped its wings violently and flew towards the east quickly.

......

In front of you is a small hill, and at the foot of the mountain is a relatively flat valley. In the middle of the valley floor, a small stream flows slowly from north to south, merging into the large river in the distance, where several small herbivorous monsters are drinking by the stream.

Suddenly.

A white light gate appeared next to the stream, and then the woman in red just walked out of the light gate. When the monster by the stream saw the woman in red who suddenly appeared, he ran away in a panic.

"The energy is depleted." The woman in red glanced at the dimly lit ring in her hand and put it in her backpack.

"That minotaur should be there soon."

"Stealth."

The figure of the woman in red disappeared in an instant.

......

Moment.

On a hillside not far to the west, a minotaur riding a hoof wind sped into the valley.

Behind boulders by the stream.

"Sure enough, it came." The woman in red perked up and stared at the rapidly approaching figure in front of her.

The distance between the two of them quickly narrowed.

"Soul Seal." The woman in red let out a low snort.

Shout-

A purple beam of light flew towards Baal in an instant.

"Something."

Baal looked up and noticed the purple beam flying in front of him, but the beam flew so fast that it disappeared into his body in an instant.

"The ghost is not gone." Baal stopped his mount and looked at the red-clad figure coming out from behind the boulder with a gloomy face.

"Little brother, I advise you to stay obediently, and then you can die a little more comfortably..."The woman in red chuckled.

Before she could finish speaking, the figure in front of her vanished.

"Hmph, if you hit my soul mark, it's useless to run anywhere." The woman in red snorted lightly, didn't chase after her, stayed in place and waited quietly.

Soon.

A huge red strange bird swept over the western hillside and landed next to the woman in red, and on the back of the giant bird stood the three of Raymond.

"Fourth sister, how is it?"

The woman in red jumped lightly on the back of the giant bird and said with a smile: "Don't worry, that minotaur has been hit by my soul mark and can't run away." With that, he stretched out his hand and pointed ahead.

"Over there."

The giant bird sprang into the air and chased in the direction Baal had left.
