Chapter Seventy-Nine

The mayor learned from those children what Lu Qiming had done. But by the time he came to his senses, the other three had already disappeared. Mayor Mare's only sense of a great conspiracy looms over him, but he never knows where the conspiracy is until the evening, when the witch hunters and siblings return.

The brother and sister returned to the town with the remaining dozen hunters. They had a mediocre victory, killing a few witches, but there were too many witches in the rally. After suffering heavy losses, they had no choice but to retreat. And Gretel, after hearing the mayor's description, seemed to understand something.

She pulled out a witch-related manual and looked up some information. However, something was guessed.

"No, it's not. It's not over yet. Tonight is the night of the blood moon where the ritual takes place, and the witches will not give up. Those children, there is no point in them being rescued now, because the witches will come back tonight and take them away. God, those people must have made some kind of pact with the witches. Where are those children now? ”

"The church in the town. Because they were taken away by witches, parents took their children to church to pray, hoping to wash away the evil from their children. You know, the wind in the town is very wrong now. Some people shouted that these children had brought disaster to the town and that they were going to burn the children. I put those kids together for protection. Otherwise, maybe a drunken hunter might break into their house and kill them. The people of the town are already driven crazy by a series of events. ”

"No, that's exactly what they want. The witches, they just want to bring the kids together. God, they may have come. As Glitter said this, the last rays of the sun had just set, and there was a dense whistling sound in the jungle, and dozens of witches appeared over the town on their flying wands. Hell has descended on this remote and ignorant town.

On the other hand, Lu Qiming didn't care what was going on in the town. With the little witch stunned in his eyes, he packed everything in the cave and got it outside. Even the murals carved on the stone walls, he even used that sharp long knife to cut them neatly, and it looked like they were also going to be packed and taken away.

"What are you doing?" The little witch finally couldn't help but ask this sentence.

"Obviously, I'm packing up my booty. This is undoubtedly a lair of powerful witches. So everything here has an immeasurable value. Let any of them go, and my conscience will be troubled. ”

"But......" The little witch opened her mouth, but could not say anything. The mental shock she received today was big enough. At this moment, the distant sound of explosions and fires woke her up.

"The town is under attack, and we need to help." The little witch said to Lu Qiming. But the other side is just there to pack up their loot unhurriedly.

"Don't you see? The witches are attacking the town. ”

"I see it, but what does it have to do with me? Don't you see that they just burned two of my companions to death this morning. When I saved the town, they spoke ill of me. When I rescued the children, they looked at each other coldly, without the slightest gratitude. Why should I save such people? ”

"But...... There are a lot of innocent people there. ”

"Hehe, I believe you are innocent. But I don't believe there are innocent people in there. At least when you're about to be burned, no one stands up for you. Are you going to save those who want to burn you and pay with your life? Then go for it, I'm not going to go. ”

A tangle of expression flashed across the little witch's face. The White Wizard's legacy made it impossible for her to stand idly by in the face of all this. But I can't say how much he identified with that town. At least when they tried to burn her, her heart was full of resentment.

The whole town completely collapsed in the first place. The town has never faced an attack from dozens of witches at once. Countless fireballs rained down from the sky, turning the entire town into a sea of fire. The miserable green poisonous mist, the black pressure of poisonous insect swarms, and the crazy growth of twisted vines covered the entire town. Under this dense magical attack, the inhabitants of the town did not even resist for a second before they completely collapsed.

All attacks avoided the church in the center of the town. This is the hiding place of those children.

When Muriel pushed open the door of the church and entered, the siblings were crouching and guarding with muskets and repeaters. On God's turf, God did not give the slightest help.

"Look, look...... You gave up all the inhabitants just to protect these children? You didn't see the outside, the whole town will be reduced to ashes tonight, do you think you can be reborn from the ashes? Muriel scoffed as she pressed forward.

And the brother and sister are also sweating profusely. Never before in their careers have they faced such a dangerous situation. Facing a big witch and nearly forty witches, no matter how experienced the two of them were, they couldn't beat them. And the residents of the town have already made a mess, not only can't help them, but it's good not to add to the chaos.

Hansel was the first to make a move, and the heavy rifle in his hand suddenly fired, but the bullet was ricocheted off by the invisible barrier in front of Muriel. Immediately afterwards, Glitter also fired, and the crossbow in his hand was fired.

However, all this has no effect on a great witch at all.

"The magic on your body allows you to resist hostile magical attacks from outside. However, this does not make you truly invincible. Muriel raised her hand to a burst fireball. The flames of the explosion vanished when they came into contact with the siblings. But the shock wave and the flying rocks made them miserable. With a single blow, they were covered in bruises.

"After killing a few third-rate witches, you think you're really a witch hunter. Hahahaha, Gretel, have you ever wondered where your magic comes from? Have you ever wondered what you really are? ”

Gretel's face changed dramatically. In recent times, she has been dreaming about her mother. I dreamed that my mother was chanting an esoteric incantation in front of their bed. To put it simply, she dreamed that her mother was a witch.

"What do you know? Tell me, what the hell do you know? Gretel's emotions suddenly became agitated.

Muriel is very well prepared to continue the commentary. But at this time, the sudden sound of gunfire interrupts this typical Hollywood brainless movie plot.

Liu Qing walked in with two guns in his hand. The two shots just now hit Gretel's body directly. Although it was not critical, the severe pain still directly made the other party faint.

"There is not a single thing in our agreement that you can meddle in my affairs casually." Muriel was very dissatisfied with Liu Qing interrupting her and pretending to be forced. And Liu Qing also said nonchalantly.
