"Is his name Marin, Marin Gayat?" The question from his cousin made Richard pause, he was silent for a moment, and then nodded: "It's called Marin, but I don't know what his last name is." ”

"Marin Gayat's characteristic...... He is small, harmless to humans and animals when he laughs, and has a handful of hair on the top of his head that stands naturally on end, and has a drooping ponytail...... That's him, you just said how much did Leon spend? His cousin put down the small notebook in his hand and stared at his cousin in front of him.

"A thousand...... Is there a problem? Richard was a little puzzled.

"You guys have made a lot of money, do you know that some time ago, an apprentice of the Harvest Goddess Church in the west of the city drove away the spirit body alone, do you know who that guy is." Richard's cousin glared at him, "That's him." ”

"Him?" Richard turned his head to look at the carriage, as if to look through the wall again at the little thing that seemed to have no ability at all.

"That's right, it's him, a monster who swept all the way from the same level to the eighth grade in less than half a year! Even before the official apprenticeship exam was over, he had already begun to master the Second Ring Technique! It is said to be the genius of the blessed ten! With him present, waiting for two low-level spirits can't hurt you at all, the value of this thousand flowers! Speaking of this, Cousin Richard's expression softened: "You can help me establish contact with him when I go back this time, and tell him that I will ask him for help at the beginning of next year." ”

"But cousin, aren't you already an apprentice?"

"You stupid boy, your cousin, my own brother will enter the graduation process next year, if he comes over to help, it will get twice the result with half the effort!" Leonidas finished speaking and glanced at the carriage again: "A thousand dollars to call a team of mercenaries feel too much, but you have to spend a thousand to call a good guy who wishes ten, this is a very cheap deal, and there is such a helper, the relationship between the two sides is also close, many times, one more person who is willing to help you, for you personally, or the family, it is possible that the fate will be different because of this, there is a proverb in the southern Thai people that one more friend has one more road, understand." ”

Richard nodded hurriedly: "Of course I understand, now I understand why that guy in Leon is so confident, no problem." ”

His cousin finally nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, by the way, aren't your twin brother and sister also in the first-year apprenticeship class of the Harvest Goddess Church, tell them to walk around with this Marin." ”

"That's no problem, if this kid is really so strong, I will also ask him to help me at that time, and I can't afford a thousand yuan."

………………

Colin yawned, the young man who had only slept for four hours this morning had been busy for most of the day in the countermeasures department established by the Byrd family's mansion, because as the incident progressed, almost the exact same sacrificial place was discovered, and after receiving the information provided by Colin, all the archbishops felt that there was something wrong with this matter, so they simply did not rush to close the case completely, and now counted on being able to find new clues.

With a large number of personnel on board, a new clue soon emerged - the new sacrificial site was confirmed to be a sacrifice that was not entirely successful.

In other words, the guy in charge of the sacrifice did all the steps that should be done in the sacrifice activity, and then did not call the evil god.

This is very interesting, which of the cult believers would do this kind of loss-making business.

So now a large number of church members are sifting through the Byrd family's recent network to see if someone is doing evil in the name of a cultist—and while the latter deserves to die, at least the former can't be left unpunished.

As Marlin's kid said, everyone has to pay for their actions.

This murderer is no exception.

Rubbing the tip of his nose, Colin noticed a group of surrogate walkers entering the door of the mansion, and one of them immediately walked over when he saw him: "Good night, Lord Colin, a parishioner of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest, I am the vicar of the Church of the God of Wisdom, where is our Lady Val." ”

"Madame Vaal has just fallen asleep, she hasn't slept for four whole days for the harvest sacrifice, tomorrow is the bonfire sacrifice, and she still needs to take care of the children in your church choir, so, parishioners, is there anything you can do, if you can, you can tell me, Madame Vaal asked me to take care of some non-mission affairs for her." Colin replied with a smile, this is Lady Val's order to him, the Church of the Goddess of Harvest and the Church of the God of Wisdom have been friendly since ancient times, Colin and Lady Val are also familiar with each other, and it doesn't matter if they help each other solve some small problems.

"That's great, it's indeed a non-Order business, we just captured a group of Eternal Lord cultists from the west of the city, after torture and interrogation, some of them said that their summoner is summoning undead xenomorphs in the north of the city, and wants to perform a blood sacrifice ritual on the bonfire festival on the third night of the harvest festival, Your Excellency, please immediately call the church punishers, we need support."

The news made Colin frown: "Don't worry, we'll take care of this damn shit, you go and inform someone." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency.".

The agent was just about to leave, when Colin, who felt something was wrong, stopped him again: "Where is the specific location you are talking about?" ”

"It's the ruined fort north of the city." The Walker saluted, then turned to leave.

Colin took a deep breath, then turned and strode towards the conference room.

"Your Excellency, the bishops of the Church of the God of War, the Church of the Sea God, and the Church of the God of Justice are meeting inside, and they say they don't want to be disturbed." The guard at the door held out his hand.

"It's about the Church of the God of Justice and the Poseidon Church, as well as the safety of our tripartite apprentices, get out of the way." Colin said loudly.

The guard didn't let go, but the door to the study room, which was the conference room, was pulled open, and an old man looked at Colin: "As the plenipotentiary of old Hoffman, you are qualified to come in, but it is better that you have something worth saying inside." ”

"Yes." Pushing away the guards, Colin walked into the study room and looked at the two bishops sitting on the sofa: "Your Excellency, the vicarators of the Church of the God of Wisdom have just returned with information, and they have confirmed that there are cultists who want to perform blood sacrifice rituals tomorrow, and they are even summoning undead xenomorphs, located in the ruined castle. ”

"It's really an important thing." The seriousness on the face of the old man who opened the door did not disappear, but his tone was already very soft: "Colin, it is not wrong for old Hoffman to keep you respectful, but for something like this, you don't even need to ask us for instructions, you can solve this matter by yourself, if you think the manpower is good, it is indeed a problem, in this way, you can mobilize our substitute punisher team of the Church of the God of Dawn." ”

"Yes, I know that the elders have always been kind, but there is one more thing, before nightfall today, our apprentice Marin Gayat teamed up with Leon Skett, apprentice of the Goddess of Commerce Church, Raguel Stockton, apprentice of the God of War Church, Jon Sheringham, apprentice of the Church of the God of Wisdom, and Richard Donne, apprentice of the Ocean Church, and the location is also in the abandoned castle."

"I know Richard, that's a very nice kid, Colin, bring him back." The archbishop of the Ocean Church, an old man who looked very old, took out his insignia from his pocket: "Bring my subordinate team of substitute punishers, I hope it's in time." ”

"Bring along our team of substitute punishers from the God of War Church, Colin, you should know how to do it, right?" The Pulsatilla of the Church of the God of War threw his emblem at Colin.

Then there was the old man of the Church of the God of Justice, who turned his head and looked out the door: "Lev! Bring your party! Follow Lord Colin to the ruined castle, kill all the undead and cultists, and purify all filth! ”

"Yes, purify all impurity, if nothing is possible...... Purify them. The Pulsatilla of the Church of the God of War sighed.

So Colin turned and left the room, and as he walked out the door, he shouted without looking back, "I'll come back with them." ”

………………

Time goes back to half an hour ago.

The carriage was a little shaky, which could not be blamed on the coachman, after all, the roads outside the city were not like the city that people would maintain every day, and the roads outside the city would only be repaired once every six months, generally speaking, they were the spring moon (March) and the autumn moon (September), and the road repair week was after the harvest festival, so the road at this time was the worst time in this half year.

It's good that the carriage hasn't gotten into any place along the way.

And the only downside is that Marin really feels like he's on a roller coaster - the carriage still has a shock absorption system, and if it weren't for this, I'm afraid everyone would have vomited unconscious.

Thankfully, Marin could already see part of the ruined fortress through the car window - as expected, most of the walls had collapsed, and several of the towers of the main fortress were either missing or the broken base had been lost.

Marin and the others were tasked with helping Lagher to confirm whether the above-ground and underground floors of the ruined castle were safe, and for this task, Lagher bought a full dozen purple light signal sticks and four silver powder grenades from the Harvest Goddess Church, these two kinds of Dao had Marin gave ideas to everyone in the engineering department, and there were technical branches, so if you calculate the share, he has contributed a total of 1,400 yuan to Marin.

This made Marlin even happier.

"We're here, guys, and we'll need to park the carriage a little farther away for safety." Since Richard's cousin said it, he should have a point.

Marin jumped out of the car with Leon, as the sun was still trying to radiate light and heat in the west.

"Hurry up, guys, get this thing sorted out, and we might be able to get back to our house before the gates close, take a hot bath, and get some good sleep with the help of the cooling technique." Feeling a little hot, Richard tugged at his collar, but he, as the only soothsayer apprentice in the team, still took out a small chain from his coat pocket: "Isn't it very dangerous in the ruined castle ahead?" ”

The chain shook slightly.

So he put away the chain very happily: "Very good, there is no danger, let's go, outing activities." ”

"Then it's really a good word from you." A few half-sized boys on the team were very happy.

Marin glanced around, the forest was quiet: "I rarely go out, I want to ask, is the forest so quiet in normal times?" ”

"No, but considering that there may be invisible spirits in the ruined castle, it's normal for animals to be scared away, and we can still hear birds chirping all the way before." Leon analyzed it for a moment, feeling like he had grasped the point: "There must be nothing wrong with this. ”

Marin was silent for a moment, and stopped moving forward, his hairs exploded from the beginning, and the closer he got to the ruined fort, the more he felt that there was something wrong ahead: "Wait a minute. ”

"Why, it's going to be dark before it happens!" Ragher pointed to the distant horizon.

Marin looked at Richard's cousin, "Do you sense danger approaching?" ”

"No, what's wrong." Unexpectedly, Richard's cousin did not get angry, but asked very kindly.

"What's your name?" Marin asked again.

"Leonidas." The young man replied with a smile.

"Very well, Leonida...... Come, we share inspiration. Marin reached out and took his hand.

At that moment, Leonidas froze for a moment, and then his face turned uncontrollably pale: "Let's go!" Instantly! Right away! ”

In the moment of sharing inspiration with Marin, the deliberately obscured wall ceased to work, and he 'saw' the strong aura of chaos in the direction of the ruined castle.

"What are we going to do! The mission area is ahead! Jon pointed to the ruined castle, his face was pale, there were no whites of his eyes in his sockets, and his eyes were as red as light bulbs.

"He's possessed!" Marin said as he pulled a violet signal stick from his waist and pulled open the safety cord and threw it at his feet, the purple light illuminating the entire area and the gloom behind each other.

The spirits behind Richard wailed out of the light, and Marin turned around, and a strong but not dazzling white light exploded in his outstretched palm, and several spirits in the darkness were directly ignited—now he was not the little unlucky guy who could only use silver powder to deal with spirits.

Jon fell to his knees with a scream, his head in his hands, as if trying to catch something.

Seeing this performance, Marlin knew that this kid could still be saved, so he pulled out a bottle of holy water from his waist, stuffed it into Jon's mouth, and then pressed his chin hard, now is not the time to care about glass.

The holy water in the cracked glass bottle lifted him from possession for a moment, and as if biting something, he screamed and opened his mouth—this time like a man.

"What's wrong with me!" Enough was enough, he asked, looking at his companion who was dragging him along, spitting at the foam of blood.

"You're possessed! Marlin saved you! Ragher pulled the violet signal stick and looked at the carriage, "We must get back to the carriage!" Fast! ”

Richard's cousin had already rushed into the carriage by this time, and he swung his whip to turn the carriage.

At this time, Marin heard a cry coming from the forest.

The forest, which is no longer quiet, is now lively like the boiling of a market.
