The strange blue mist gathered in the sky, but Bill, who had long since fallen asleep, did not see this natural landscape that was rare in a hundred years.

The sudden rainstorm washed over the earth, but Esther stood in front of the bedroom window and looked at the sky, she felt the call from the depths of her blood in her nightmare, and the dream was already clear.

Meteorologists from the Royal Norman Academy of Natural Sciences saw this strange weather and hurriedly held a meeting to analyze the cause of the occurrence all night.

The cruise ship on the sea level can see the strange picture, the storm suddenly came, the crew was no longer stunned to look at the fog, and the captain quickly ordered the crew to put away the sails and steer.

Standing firmly in the rain, the witch hunter looked at Brittus with a solemn expression, and he was the only one on the boat who knew what such a vision meant.

"Bishop Nance is using his powers, and the Holy See has a difficult opponent, but this is all a trouble that the arrogant cultists have brought on themselves, as long as it doesn't affect Esther......"

The ship grew farther and farther away from Brittus, and the lightning clicked and danced in the sky, making it look like purgatory.

A ten-meter-long lightning rod at the top of the Cathedral of Marseille was suddenly struck by purple lightning, and all the faithful felt a violent shaking, and they gathered around to pray again.

The source of these visions was in a dead forest outside Brittus, where Archbishop Nance and Edmund stood on one side, facing Jack, a mad magician with a somewhat solemn face.

Jack was surrounded by blue flames, and the mirrors he used to protect himself were scorched by the flames, melting into a viscous liquid, and the droplets fell into the swamp, instantly solidifying into colorless stones.

"Bishop Nance, pay attention to the strength, you can't continue to exert energy, Brittus's magnetic field will be disturbed. ”

“......”

Bishop Nance knew what to do, of course, but he didn't dare to let his guard down in the face of Jack, a magician who behaved strangely and constantly provoked with words.

Edmund was protected by Bishop Nance, and the perceivers were incomparably precious beings, although they were all geniuses who could only meet one in a million, but they spent a lot of energy practicing perception, so they were somewhat weak in combat effectiveness.

As Bishop Nance stared at Jack and kept igniting flames on him, the magician's mirror shield slowly stopped healing, and his body began to burn, showing a jealous and frightened face rolling in the swamp......

"How could Jack the Mad Magician get burned so easily, Edmund, are you sure he's already ......"

"Hmm-"

A muffled snort sounded behind Bishop Nance, and he quickly turned to look behind him, only to see that Magician Jack was already standing behind Edmund!

He quickly turned his head to see that his body had melted away from the flames, so dim that it could not refract any light in the firelight, leaving only the slowly condensed humanoid stones.

The striped top hat blocked the smiling face, and the sharp knife pierced Edmund's heart, and Edmund had actually realized that what had fallen into the fire was just a double doll the moment Jack moved......

But before he could open his mouth to warn Bishop Nance to be on guard, Jack had already disappeared with great speed, and he was stabbed cleanly from behind......

"Hey, you're dead, Mr. Perceiver?~"

Describing what had happened lightly, he intensified his efforts to stir the sharp knife in his hand, as if to stir his whole heart into ketchup.

Blood spurted wildly down Edmund's lips, but he didn't sit still, quickly tensing his muscles and clamping the knife, placing it to continue to damage himself and prevent Jack from disappearing after drawing the knife.

Bishop Nance's eyes widened, he quickly read Edmund's lips, the majestic power gathered back into the flesh from all directions, and the sky quickly cleared up at a speed visible to the naked eye......

Dark clouds fluttered in the night, and the firelight flashed through the dry air and rushed towards the magician, outlining an intricate inscription along a special pattern, and Jack twitched twice before he could retrieve the knife, quickly letting go of his favorite weapon.

He leaped to the branch with his top hat in his hand, his body lightly dodging the flames, and Bishop Nance was finally angered by him, and the temperature in the woods continued to rise.

Jack conjured a magic wand in his hand and shot at Bishop Nance in a dodge, but before the bullet could reach its destination, it was already engulfed in flames when it pierced the air!

The anger of the Bishop of the Holy See continued to accumulate, and under the control of his hands, he even ignored the possibility that the hundreds of thousands of inhabitants of Brittus might be affected by the high-density energy!

"Hehe, I didn't expect that our beloved Lord Bishop would also break the agreement and get serious, you will create a lot of new abilities, and maybe awaken the wizard bloodline that has been silent for generations?? ～”

"But I can understand you, Lord Bishop, after all, the Holy See has spent too much effort and sacrifice to cultivate a Perceiver, you must hate me very much in your heart now, hahahahahahaha~"

Bishop Nance completely ignored Jack's provocative words, and in the field full of combustibles, even the slightest friction would bring bursts of fire, and even Jack's action of holding his top hat would bring a series of fire reactions.

Jack finally paid attention, and at this moment he could clearly feel the anger in his face mixed with the power of piercing the soul, and he looked up to extinguish the flames on his top hat, and finally there were charred and irreparable cracks on his body.

Flame is the ability that all dark sorcery hates, and Jack will inevitably feel troubled, if he really faces a person with the ability of the Holy See protagonist level who does not limit his power at all, Jack may not have a chance to kill the other party.

The reason why he was here was at least because he knew that Bishop Nance would not dare to completely break the limit, and that doing so would not only affect the inhabitants of Brittus, but also cause his body to develop in an irreversible direction.

This is definitely the most taboo thing for the Holy See of Oude.

But tonight, now that the troublesome perceptual has been dealt with, and Jack is no longer in love, he snaps his fingers suddenly.

Smack-

Blue flames ignited from his fingertips, but Jack smiled and conjured a sharp dagger that quickly cut off the portion that spread into his arm.

The dim night sky was suddenly shrouded in darkness, and the huge blue-eyed monster leaped through the air, its claws reached into the flame space, picked up Jack's back collar, and led the magician Jack to rush out of the rapidly gathering dark blue wall of fire.

Jack held the top hat with only one hand and smiled politely.

"Dear Bishop, if you have time to chase me, why don't you see if the perceiver behind you is still saved, hahahahahaha?"

"Bishop, bye?~"

The Obscuring Monster grabbed Jack away from the dead woods, and the blue flames still rushed into the sky, but after a certain distance away from Bishop Nance, the speed dropped sharply, and the intensity of the flames slowly weakened......

After burning through the layers of black clouds in the night sky, the sky soon brightened, and even the moonlight was as bright as a mirror, except that Jack the magician had disappeared into the night, as if he had never been there.

The angry Bishop of Nance tightened his fist in the direction the magician Jack had left, and the fire spreading in the dead trees was instantly extinguished, and only the burning body of the dwarf tree beside Edmund illuminated the night.

Bishop Nance took a deep breath, exhaled his anger that had not yet subsided, and finally returned to Edmund, whose muscles were tense.

"Edmund, are you alright?"

"Help me, pull out ......"

Edmund gritted his teeth, and Nance immediately came behind him and grabbed the handle of the knife, pulling out the black knife as fast as he could, as soon as his muscles relaxed.

Flesh and blood splattered at the same time, all spraying on Bishop Nance's face, while Edmund controlled the rapid tightening of his chest muscles, and the wounds at both ends stopped bleeding and showed ugly scars.

After Edmund did these things, he breathed a sigh of relief, and as a precious person with abilities in the Oude Holy See, he naturally had to learn how to repair his body and reduce the loss of the Holy See.

After all, in addition to the crazy ability of magician Jack, whose purpose is unknown, the perceptual is also the object of the most hated by wizards.

If they are able, wizards will definitely chop the capable into meat sauce to raise cute and ugly pets.

"Whew-"

"As long as you cultivate for a while, my heart grows on the right side, you already know. ”

However, Bishop Nance was inevitably concerned that those who usually preferred the ability of witchcraft were not good at repairing their bodies.

Wiping the blood on his face, Bishop Nance wiped the black knife with his handkerchief, taking a closer look at the weapon that could easily intubate Edmund's body.

The blade of the black knife was as smooth as a mirror, and when Bishop Nance gently stroked the blade with his thumb, a bloody mark was made on his finger, and the stinging sensation came from his thumb.

"Now that we can be sure that Jack's target is you, or the perceivers trained by the Holy See, I must send this news back to the Holy Land as soon as possible, so that they can send someone to find out what Jack wants to do. ”

Bishop Nance frowned, waiting for the wound to coagulate and heal on its own.

“...... Presumably to perform a sacrificial ritual somewhere where a crowd gathers, after all, low-level sentients are scattered all over the world and have sabotaged witch gatherings countless times. ”

"I can't think of anything else they can do when these lawless disasters come together other than to plan a bigger catastrophe. ”

Edmund took a relatively clean robe from his bag and changed it into, and Bishop Nance was still examining the sharp knife.

He thinks that if you want to track down Jack, you can start with an alchemist with this level of forging, after all, there are only a handful of people in the world who have this level.

"Let's go back first, you can recuperate well during this time, and leave the outside affairs to me to deal with, wizards and transcendents can't become a climate, so we don't have to worry too much. ”

Edmund nodded, picked up his bags and limped in a certain direction, but Bishop Nance was a little confused.

"You're going in the wrong direction, the way back to the city is to the east, and that direction is ......"

"We're going to have to deal with a problem before we can go back. ”

Continuing to move in a southeasterly direction, Bishop Nance's eyes widened unconsciously, and he quickened his pace to follow Edmund.

Soon he saw a young man trembling and tearful behind a large tree, and he was on his knees in horror, and his mouth was babbling words that did not look like human pronunciation at all.

"When did he show up, could it be that the people who have been following us all along?"

"He's been hiding here since the first time I used my abilities to observe Jack, but it looks like he doesn't have the ability to awaken and loses his mind when he sees things he shouldn't see. ”

Bishop Nance frowned unconsciously, he didn't expect that the Holy See's affairs would be followed by ordinary people, and he felt that things were not as simple as he imagined.

However, he will not exaggerate what has happened, and ordinary people will see that the capable fight, and the Oude Holy See has a complete way to deal with it.

"Can you be sure that he is really crazy, if he is not crazy and has no awakening ability, we can only make him disappear. ”

"You don't need to question me, he's crazy. ”

After Edmund's affirmative answer, Bishop Nance nodded solemnly.

"Then take him back, find out his identity, tell his family that it was a wizard who turned him into this, and send him to the special vulnerable groups and communication disorders in the western suburbs to be centrally managed. ”

"What?"

Edmund was a little confused, he had never heard of an institution with such a long name, not even the name of the Norman Royal Academy of Natural Sciences.

"It's a madhouse on the hill to the west. ”

“......”

Hearing Bishop Nance's succinct explanation, it dawned on Edmund that he had come to his senses.

For the loss of reason caused by seeing things that should not be seen and hearing voices that should not be heard, the Holy See of Ode chose to centralize all these people and manage them in a unified manner.

Because these madmen have undergone mysterious baptism after all, although there are no signs of awakening their abilities yet, no one can guess what kind of changes will happen to them.

Returning to the city with the mad Erwin, Bishop Nance and Edmund finally left the dead woods and returned to Brittus, baptized by the rainstorm......

After the heavy rain, the foggy morning was exceptionally clean, and the hearty laughter of the mentally ill came from the mountains, waking Bill from his slumber.

He rubbed his head, and when he opened his eyes, he was thinking about the third most important question of life, what are you going to eat this morning?

But when he thought about the food left in the kitchen and cellar, he didn't think he had many options, so he began to think about the second most important of life's three questions.

"What's going on today......

"Oh yes, I'm going to go to the city to see if the title deed has been done, and I'm going to go to the new editor's office to be ready to recruit workers to build a factory in advance. ”

"Since Shadow won't tell me how to restore my abilities anyway, now I can only make a quick buck and buy information on the black market. 」

"I don't have any power at the moment, so I'd better not go to a place like a witch's village, hoping that the black market will sell me a satisfactory answer. 」

Soon getting dressed and going to the bathroom, the water pipe was already clear and safe running water, Esther didn't come out of the bedroom, and Bill didn't care what she was studying in the house.

After all, Esther has been hit hard, and she needs some time to adjust herself, otherwise what else?

Soon after a monotonous breakfast, Bill drove the carriage out of the villa alone, but as soon as he got out of the house, he saw the Holy See's car passing through the villa.

"Why did they come here?"

Walking through the tree-lined path, Bill felt a little strange, he had never seen so many living people in a mountain villa.

The horse-drawn carriage passed by the steam locomotive, led by two middle-aged and elderly people dressed differently from ordinary missionaries, and the man in the shabby monk's uniform had a relationship with Bill near Flea Street in the North End.

Bishop Nance, who was in the steam car, was also surprised, he had heard that there was no one living in this mountain villa, and he couldn't help but be suspicious when he saw a carriage passing by.

After all, those wizards like to live in places where normal people would not choose to live, so that they can conduct evil experiments.

"Edmund, have you checked this villa area, is the person who just passed by a wizard?"

Edmund shook his head, quickly closing his eyes, sensing if there was something in the area that could be destroyed......
