Under Yin Guang's narration, Pei Ze gradually knew the origin of the matter.

Originally, Yin Xue and his companions were ordered to garrison a resource point, but just yesterday, they had just reached the time limit for garrisoning, and after handing over to the wizards who had come to change shifts, they were ready to return to Red Maple City.

But halfway through, they were ambushed by a witch-hunting force.

There are two fourth-class priests among the enemy, and their strength is far superior to theirs.

The second-level wizard who led the team sacrificed himself to stop all the Winter Frost priests, which gave the others a chance to successfully escape.

But even so, they still suffered heavy casualties, and Yin Xue was seriously injured as a result.

After hearing this, Pei Ze's face had already become very gloomy.

"Haven't the witch hunting troops been hiding from the witch hunting troops, how can they set up an ambush halfway?"

Yin Guang shook his head in frustration: "We don't know, we used to chase them, probably because we wanted revenge." ”

"I think they were very methodical when they launched the attack, they should have been planning for a long time, and they had already figured out our actions and strength."

Pei Ze was silent and did not speak again.

Running all the way to a stone house, there are more than a dozen legendary knights with a fierce aura guarding the door, who should be followers of some wizard.

They obviously knew Yin Guang, and when they saw Pei Ze and Yin Guang coming together, they didn't stop them, opened the door and let the two of them in.

There are more than a dozen wizards in the spacious living room, standing or sitting, all with a military aura, wearing a black and red badge unique to the witch hunting army on their chests, and the front pattern is two scarlet gloves held together.

There is also a second-level wizard among them.

Seeing that Yin Guang had brought a strange wizard in, the second-level wizard frowned, and was about to ask out loud, when the witch next to him came to his ear in time and whispered a few words.

The second-level wizard's eyes condensed slightly, and when he looked at Pei Ze, his eyes suddenly became a little more surprised and scrutinized, and he didn't ask any more questions, waved his hand, and motioned for the two of them to go in.

Under the leadership of Yin Guang, the two walked through the living room and went straight to the innermost room.

Yin Guang stopped in front of the door, hesitated, handed the healing potion in his hand to Pei Ze, and said in a low voice: "You go in, I'll wait outside." ”

Pei Ze glanced at him, took the potion, and then gently pushed open the door and walked in.

The room was quiet, the curtains were drawn, and the light was a little dim.

I saw Yin Xue lying quietly on the bed, her hair scattered to the side, her face was pale, and her delicate and pretty face looked a little transparent in the light.

At this time, she gave people a sense of weakness that would break if she touched it a little, and it was the first time Pei Ze had seen her like this.

In the past, Yin Xue always looked like a calm big sister, gentle and gave people a confident strength.

Every time he gets along with her, Pei Ze has a kind of peace from the heart.

But for now.

As if sensing that there was someone next to the bed, Yin Xue's eyelids moved, her eyes slowly opened, and when she saw Pei Ze standing by the window, a touch of surprise suddenly appeared on her pale face, and then turned into a faint smile.

"Junior brother, why are you here?"

The moment she saw Pei Ze, the girl's eyes seemed to brighten.

Pei Zewen smiled: "I met Yin Guang on the road, and when I heard that he said that the senior sister was injured, I immediately rushed over." ”

Pei Ze sat down by the window, gently helped Yin Xue up with his hands and feet, leaned against the head of the bed, and then uncorked the wood and handed the potion to her lips.

"I'll drink the potion first."

Yin Xue showed a touch of tenderness in her eyes, and slowly drank the potion according to Pei Ze's movements.

As the effect of the medicine began to take effect, her face suddenly became a little more bloody.

"Actually, I don't have anything to do, it's just that I'm overdrafted, just rest for a while." Yin Xue said softly

Pei Ze smiled slightly, and glanced at Yin Xue's right hand hidden under the quilt.

As early as he stepped into this room, he felt the strong divine grace fluctuations contained there.

Yin Xue's injuries were by no means as simple as she said.

For wizards, physical injuries don't matter, it's more about recovery.

Mental overdraft is a little more troublesome, but taking some time to recuperate will always recover.

What is really serious is the problem of blood pollution, soul damage, and the erosion of xenomorph energy.

If Yin Xue's injury was very simple, then Yin Guang would not use the word serious injury to describe it.

It's just that Yin Xue didn't want to say it, and Pei Ze wouldn't break it down, so he smiled and nodded: "Well, but you have to recuperate next." ”

Next, Pei Ze chatted with Yin Xue for a while, mainly because of his experience after coming to Red Maple City.

Even though she had heard some from others, but hearing Pei Ze himself tell it with her own ears, Yin Xue was still taken aback, and covered her mouth from time to time and whispered.

Injured, she seemed to let go of her defense, and she looked like a little girl in front of Pei Ze.

It wasn't until she noticed that Yin Xue's face was a little tired that Pei Ze let her rest well, pushed open the door and walked out of the room.

Closing the door, Pei Ze turned to Yin Guang's inquiring gaze, and said in a low voice, "I have already drunk the potion and slept." ”

Then, without waiting for Yin Guang to respond, he went straight to the living room, looked around, and asked in a deep voice, "I want to know what is going on with Senior Sister's injury." ”

When the people of the witch hunting army face ordinary wizards, they have a more or less superior sense of superiority.

If other first-level wizards ask such questions, even if they don't lose their temper, they will never give a good face.

However, Pei Ze is no ordinary wizard.

Not only is he the most outstanding genius in Dawn City in the past hundred years, but he has also personally killed a fourth-rank priest, and he is also Yin Xue's junior brother, so it is reasonable that he is qualified to know the specific situation.

The sorceress subconsciously looked at the second-level wizard, and when she saw him bowing slightly, she stood up and said: "Yin Xue's injury was caused by a quasi-artifact, and that quasi-artifact left a high-intensity divine grace in her body, we temporarily sealed them in Yin Xue's right hand, and now we are trying to find a way to clean it up." ”

Quasi-artifact!

Pei Ze's expression suddenly became a little more solemn.

On the Turin plane, the Hallows are magical items forged by the High Priests of the Sect.

Artifacts, on the other hand, are crafted by the gods themselves and possess great power.

Quasi-artifacts, on the other hand, fall somewhere in between, referring to magical items that have been forged by high-ranking priests but blessed by the gods.

Although the power of quasi-artifacts is not as good as that of artifacts, it is far superior to ordinary holy weapons.

Pei Ze had never seen a quasi-artifact, but he had heard Jiang Rui, Yan Dong and others mention it.

It is said that a quasi-artifact is enough for a fourth-class priest to have the powerful power to kill a second-level crystallization wizard.

And because the quasi-artifact has been blessed by the gods, its divine grace often has corrosive characteristics far beyond the power of ordinary faith.

Even for wizards, once they are eroded by the divine grace of a quasi-artifact, it takes a lot of time and energy to slowly eliminate it.

Not to mention the pain of the process, it may also leave sequelae in the end.

If the erosion time is too long, it may even cause irreversible damage to the spirit crystal.

"What do I have to do to get rid of that divine grace?" Pei Ze asked with a frown.

"Two ways." The sorceress said with a solemn expression, "The first one is to ask the fourth-level wizard to take action and eliminate the divine grace in Yin Xue's body with strong spiritual power, but now the fourth-level wizards in Red Maple City have gone to the frontal battlefield, and no one can be found to make a move for the time being, we are contacting the Yin family and asking them to send someone over." ”

"What about the second way?" Pei Ze couldn't see an expression on his face.

"Take moonshine water." The sorceress said, "A strange thing with a powerful purifying effect, it can remove most of the xenomorph energy after taking it, including the divine grace in Yin Xue's body. ”

"There is moonshine water on the exchange, but the price is very expensive, it costs 9,000 merit points, and we are now trying to find a way to make merit points."

Speaking of this, the witch was slightly embarrassed.

The other people's expressions were also unnatural.

Although the benefits and remuneration of the witch hunting army are very rich, because of the high-intensity fighting, injuries and damage to witchcraft weapons are commonplace, whether it is healing or maintenance and repair of witch weapons, it requires a lot of expenses.

Not to mention exchanging cultivation resources.

They wish to use every merit point to improve their strength, so as not to die on the battlefield due to lack of strength, and the accumulated merit points will be in vain.

So everyone, including the second-level wizard, didn't have much left over.

Nine thousand merit points is not a small amount, and it is really not easy to make up for a while.

"Don't worry." Yin Guang said in a low voice, "I have already contacted the family, they are trying to find a way to find moonlight water, and it should be delivered the day after tomorrow at the latest." ”

"The day after tomorrow?" Pei Ze frowned, "As far as I know, the longer the divine grace of the quasi-artifact stays in the body, the greater the possibility of leaving sequelae after being cured. ”

Yin Guang was silent, of course he knew this.

But for a while, they couldn't find the rare moonlight water right away.

Whether the family is looking for moonlight water or sending it to the plane battlefield, it will take time.

After all, Red Maple City is not within the Yin family's sphere of influence, if it is in Windy City or Quiet Blue City, things will be much easier to solve.

I knew that I should have persuaded my cousin not to come to Red Maple City.

When Yin Guangzheng was secretly remorseful, he saw Pei Ze throw something to the witch.

The latter subconsciously caught it, looked down, and suddenly let out a low sigh.

"Mithril!"

"This Mithril is enough to exchange for a moonshine potion." Pei Ze said.

There was silence in the hall.

Everyone looked at each other, and it was difficult to hide their surprise in their eyes.

Pei Ze was able to take out Mithril, they were not surprised, after all, it was rumored that Pei Ze had taken a Mithril resource point, and it was not surprising that he had Mithril in his hand.

What surprised them was that Pei Ze just wanted Yin Xue to recover a day or two earlier, and he actually threw out Mithril worth nine thousand merit points without blinking an eye, which was also too extravagant!

For a while, everyone's eyes looking at Pei Ze changed.

Yin Guang stared at Pei Ze for a long time, with an extremely complicated expression on his face.

"Trouble going to the exchange." Pei Ze looked at the sorceress.

The latter woke up like a dream, subconsciously answered yes, and then walked out of the stone house quickly.

Pei Ze then looked at the second-level wizard and asked, "What is this adult's name?" ”

"My name is Gao Qun."

Perhaps because of Pei Ze's actions just now, the wizard called Gao Qun looked much gentler.

"Lord Gao Qun." Pei Ze was not polite, and said straight to the point, "I want to know the information of the fourth-class priest who injured the senior sister." ”

Gao Qun nodded and said, "I don't know the specifics, but I know that that person is a high-ranking member of the witch hunting force, and according to the people who were attacked at the time, the other Winter Frost priests call him Lord Maynard." ”

Pei Ze took out the magic map, unfolded it and put it on the coffee table in the living room, and asked, "Where is the place where they were ambushed, senior sister?" ”

Gao Qun glanced at it and pointed on the map: "It's here." ”

Pei Ze fixed his eyes and saw that the place was more than three hundred kilometers away from the Mithril resource point in a straight line.

Considering that he also encountered the Battle Priest of the Witch Hunting Force not long after he came out of the Mithril resource point, it is clear that these people have a wide range of activities.

In this way, it was not easy to find the fourth-class priest named Maynard.

Gao Qun was also vaguely aware of Pei Ze's thoughts at this time, and his brows suddenly furrowed: "You want to deal with Maynard?" ”

Pei Ze glanced at him and nodded calmly.

Although life and death are fatal on the battlefield, when you go to the battlefield, you must be mentally aware of death, and it is normal to be seriously injured by the enemy's ambush.

But Pei Ze is not a saint, his friend almost died, and now he is still seriously injured and lying in bed, of course he will not just forget it.

"Don't be impulsive!" Gao Qun said with a solemn expression, "Maynard holds a quasi-artifact in his hand, even a second-level crystallization wizard is not necessarily his opponent, if you go out rashly, even if you find him, you may not be able to get revenge." ”

In fact, Gao Qun still said it euphemistically.

In his opinion, although Pei Ze is strong, and even has a record of killing fourth-class priests, Maynard is not an ordinary fourth-class priest.

The fourth-class priest who holds the quasi-artifact in his hand, even if he encounters it, he has to avoid the edge for the time being.

If Pei Ze really dealt with Maynard alone, I am afraid that he would suffer a big loss and even lose his life.

"Don't worry, the witch hunting force has made us suffer such a big loss this time, we will make them pay the price sooner or later!" Gao Qun said with a serious expression.

However, Pei Ze shook his head lightly when he heard this.

"That's your business."

With that, he put away the magic map and turned to leave the stone house.

Since he didn't get any useful information from the Witch Hunting Force, he didn't plan to waste any more time and prepared to leave the city now.

However, not far from the stone house, Yin Guang chased after him.

"Wait a minute!"

Yin Guang strode up to Pei Ze and looked at him with a solemn expression.

"I'll go with you!"

Pei Ze frowned slightly: "I don't have the strength to take care of you." ”

"No need, I have hole cards, I can get out by myself when it is critical, and I won't be a burden to you."

Seeing Yin Guang's firm expression, Pei Ze's eyes moved slightly, and finally agreed with his chin.

"Okay."

Without delay, Pei Ze directly sent a message to Su Ya and Peng Yan, instructing them to do something, and then rushed to the city gate with Yin Guang.

Not long after the two arrived at the city gate, Su Ya and Peng Yan also rushed over with the giant eagle.

There was no nonsense, and the four of them immediately boarded the giant eagle.

Yin Guang did not prepare a means of transportation, so he could only share a ride with Peng Yan.

The three-headed giant eagle spread its wings and soared into the sky, flying out of Red Maple City and rushing into the depths of the wilderness.
