"She is Isgiwen, the witch king. ”

"Isjiwen. Germer read the name as if he saw the madness and wisdom in his eyes. "Is she still alive?"

"I don't know, in the final battle, although the Holy See announced that she had been killed, it was only marked as missing in the secret archives of the Church. Carmelita explained, "Beginning with Isgiwen, witches officially became a branch of alchemists. ”

"As far as I know, the alchemist's side and the dark force should be regarded as mortal enemies, isn't the witch originally part of the dark force?"

"Yes, witches were initially considered part of the alchemists, and Isjiwen's success was a great inspiration to other alchemists, and although Isgiwen's immortal alchemy had great limitations and specific conditions, other alchemists were able to gain a lot of valuable research materials from her experiments, and during that time, Isgewen was the brightest star among alchemists. ”

Although in Gehr's ears, the goddess's words were as peaceful as she always was, he could feel the sarcasm and disdain contained in them.

"And how did the witch end up on the side of the Dark Forces?"

"Isjiwen's success has earned her the support of many alchemists, many of whom are women. In order to gain eternal life, they embarked on the same path as Isgiwen. However, in subsequent research experiments and practice, they found that the stronger the physical fitness and talent of both parents, the stronger the fetus conceived by this combination, and the superior quality of all aspects of the life source produced. So the alchemists who wanted to become witches no longer looked at ordinary people, but on the strong, special humanoid races, and even powerful beasts. And in order to conduct experiments more accurately, some witches have taken a large number of young children for experiments......"

"Their behavior has not only caused discontent on the side of the Light Camp. It made the ordinary people very uneasy, so the contradiction was born, and then as the years passed, there were more and more conflicts, and the original contradiction became a huge rift, and finally one day, the witches collectively rebelled and joined the dark forces. After the dark forces were cleared, the witches were also strangled on a large scale. Eventually, it is only in certain secret sources that the imprints of their existence can be learned. ”

"So that's ......" After listening to this secret, Gehr had some inexplicable feelings.

It can be said that Isjiwen is a mad scientist, and perhaps her original intention was to find a feasible path to immortality, but after releasing the results of the Devil Fruit-like experiment, everything is out of control, and the final outcome is already doomed from the beginning.

"Be careful, Geer, witches are terrifying in the forest, they will drive the alchemical creatures they create and set all kinds of traps. Coupled with their own mystical abilities brought by the second life source, the Holy Spirit Sect may not be able to deal with it, and these witches have never shown mercy to outsiders who intrude into their territory, as long as they are in her territory, she will hunt them down to the end. So if there is a case, we must flee immediately. Camerita warned with a serious expression.

Gehr nodded, indicating that he understood what the goddess meant. Truly. They were just captives, and there was no need to run to the Altar of Gumur. When the situation is not good, the two of them will flee first if they have the chance. Those who want to come to the Holy Spirit Church should be able to attract the attention of witches even more.

Of course, if you find a way to run now, you will find the dead, and the witch or her alchemist creatures who are obviously already attached to the convoy will not mind killing some of the invaders before the big war.

Gehr's idea was not long after he was tested.

Although Belif chose the shortest route, it was not possible to reach the Altar of Gumuel, the witch's lair, in a day, so the convoy had to spend the night in this treacherous forest.

The convoy found a clearing in the forest and settled down, set up tents, lit bonfires, and at the same time multiplied the number of people on guard patrols, and the scope was much reduced, all actions were completed within the scope of the campfire, and never set foot in the dark jungle.

After the preparations for the camp were completed, night had fallen, and the wings of the goddess of the night completely covered the woods, and it was pitch black except for the cover of the campfire.

Affected by this environment, everyone was not very interested in talking, but they were silently eating and tidying up their equipment. The occasional howl of the beast will alarm the nerves of many people.

Oh!!

Just as they were about to rest, several wild beast roars came from the south side of the camp, and then shouts, screams, and shouts of killing rang out one after another, and by the time the nearby patrols had come to their aid, the brief battle was over.

Soon the camp began to be noisy.

Two armed cultists walked back with a man covered in blood, and immediately healers stepped forward to treat him.

Gehr looked through the crowd, the wounded man's wound was the shoulder, and the flesh on it was blurred, as if it had been bitten by some beast, and a large piece of flesh was missing.

According to the armed cultists who carried him back, the wounded man was bitten by an alchemy creature with a sphinx, and a total of three monsters came to attack the patrol team, and due to the tight guards, this one person in the squad was injured, but those monsters also retreated into the jungle immediately after missing the blow, so that the armed cultists did not reap the results of the battle.

"The harassment began. Gehr thinks about it, as a witch with home advantage, it is impossible not to take advantage of such a good home advantage. Weakening the Holy Spirit Cult's armed power through harassment, especially at night when she maximizes her strengths, is not to be missed.

"Rustle. ”

Suddenly Camerita's eyes opened, and she woke up from her sleep, her body tensing slightly, but she immediately relaxed, because she could see the face of the person in front of her.

Gehr tosses a few dead branches into the fire to make the fire brighter, and the rustling sound that Carmelita hears is the sound of the dead branches being touched.

"Sorry for the noise. Gell looked at Carmelita, who sat up. There was a hint of apology on his face.

"It's okay, what time is it? Carmelita brushed her somewhat stray hair. I looked at the sky, and it was still starry. Looking around, except for the people on duty at night, the rest of the people are hurrying to fall asleep.

"It's about three o'clock in the morning. Gell threw another dead branch into the fire, and the dry wood immediately crackled in the heat.

"Haven't the witches been harassed?" asked Camerita, a little confused. She felt in good spirits now, like she was refreshed after a good night's sleep.

"Three more times, one of the Holy Spirit Sect died, two were wounded, and no alchemical creatures were left. Gehr replied briefly.

"Why didn't I wake up?" Carmerita touched the ground where she was still warm, and turned her gaze as clear as autumn water.

"I added something. Gehr took out a few sticks of yellow grass. Handed it to Carmerita, "This smell produced after ignition can make people sleep better and refresh." ”

"Gehr!" Camerita's voice was not high, but there was obvious displeasure in it.

"It's okay, just use it once today, you need to have a good rest. Gehr said with a smile.

Since the capture, the environment in which the two of them have been constantly changing, and Gehr has no problem, because with the help of the biological brain module, even if he only sleeps for an hour a day, he can be refreshed. Not sleeping for a few days will not affect his combat effectiveness, but not Camerita, although she has always seemed very calm, but from the dark circles under her eyes that are already faintly visible, it can be seen that she has not rested well.

Tomorrow may well be the most critical day. Geer hopes that the goddess can face this test in the best state, so he specially added this kind of grass that can calm the mind.

After staring at Gehr for a moment, the goddess finally shook her head. There was a rare look of helplessness on his face.

"Take it all out and give it to me. ”

Gehr smiled softly. He took out a handful of grass from his coat pocket and put it in front of Camerita: "That's all." That is, when leaving Sir Mutombo's place, it was picked by the way, and when it was used, it was just thrown into the fire, and the range of influence was very small, about one meter or so. ”

"Don't do that anymore. There was a hint of helplessness in Camerita's tone, she was no longer surprised by Gehr's ability to make a name for himself by picking up a few plants, and she also understood the reason why Gehr did this, and she couldn't say anything serious.

At that moment, another beast roar was heard, followed by the usual sound of battle, and then quickly subsided.

The rest of the camp just sat up to see the situation, and immediately fell asleep when they found that there was no trouble, and this situation would come back every once in a while since nightfall, and everyone was somewhat immune.

"There will probably be no formal assault today, but given the frequency of this harassment, we may not be able to reach the Gulmur altar tomorrow. Gehr looked down and sorted out the pile of things in front of him, then placed some of the powder on a large blade, folded it, wrapped it, and handed it to Camerita, "You can take this." ”

"What is this?" the goddess officer subconsciously took the blade bag.

"The effect of the wound medicine to stop bleeding is very good. ”

Actually, the effect is very good, and this is what the wounded are using now. It was difficult not to be noticed by Belif and the others, who had been observing him, so he simply made it open and told Belif who came to inquire that it was a hemostatic medicine. After Belif tried some on the wounded, he found that it worked well, so he acquiesced to Gehr's behavior.

"Be careful tomorrow. Gehr looked at the goddess officer seriously.

"The same goes for you. ”

A strong gust of wind suddenly came out of nowhere, blowing the corners of Geer's clothes and dancing the ashes of the campfire, causing many of the worshippers to curse for accidentally letting the ashes into their eyes, nostrils, or mouths.

Gehr looked outside, where the camp's firelight could not reach, and his eyes glowed with a faint blue light.

In the dark, red dots flickered from time to time.

That's the enemy. (To be continued......)
