Chapter 311: The Witch Slayer's Invitation
The city's crisis was lifted, and the prestigious clergy in the chapel were assisting the city guards in guiding the townspeople back into the city.
Of course, most people don't want to go back to the city at this time.
And they weren't to blame for that, after all, everything just happened so fast. The fear that comes from the depths of the soul, the twisted and blasphemous corrupt angels.
That is, at the end of the day, the phantom of the goddess of holy light appeared, otherwise these people would have run as far as they could.
But even then, they want to wait and see.
Wright, on the other hand, was in the chapel, listening to the work report of the Sinlight.
"So, you've found evidence that the royal family is behind it?"
"Yes, Godfather."
Wright lay on the backrest with a frown, and although the situation was similar to what he thought, it was still a little irritating after really validating his idea.
"Have you all disposed of it?"
"In the name of sin, it's all dealt with. But for those princes and nobles, we can't do anything for the time being. ”
Wright bowed slightly, the power of the sinful light was only for the clergy within the Church of Light.
If they were against masters outside the Holy See, their strength would only be an ordinary second-order or third-order.
Not to mention those princes and ministers, even the guards of ordinary small lords are estimated to be difficult to deal with.
"Don't worry, take care of your own work, and you'll be fine. The rest of the guys, naturally, have other people to clean up.
All perpetrators, co-conspirators, and vested interests will eventually be sanctioned by the Light! ”
"Praise the Patriarch! Praise the Light! ”
The leader of Sinlight pulled a ledger out of his bosom and handed it to Wright.
"Patriarch, this is the roster we received from the Imperial Bishop, which records the names and identities of those who have committed the crime of blasphemy against the Holy Light, as well as the families to which they belong.
It is according to this roster that we uproot these moths of the Church of Light one by one, according to the magnitude of the sins committed.
But unexpectedly, when I went to the city, I was blocked by this strange church. ”
Wright flipped through it a little and put the roster away.
"Very good, you have already made meritorious contributions by finding this roster."
He looked at the people of the Sinful Light Sect: "At present, the empire has been involved in disputes with the elven empire, the number of illegal mages in the country has skyrocketed, and the remnants of the Tower of Truth are active.
It would be too risky to continue to do this to remove the moth. ”
As if sensing what Wright was going to say, the Sinlights knelt down on one knee.
"Ancestor, we are not afraid of danger!"
"But I'm afraid, I'm afraid that you have three longs and two shorts, I'm afraid that you will be lost here for no reason.
You are the treasures of the Church of Light, and you cannot be placed in such a dangerous situation.
What's more, you don't have to be positive characters per se.
They are a combination of Inquisitors, Observers, and Shadow Assassins.
When the enemy is strong and we are weak, we must choose to temporarily retreat and accumulate capacity.
Because, in the next action, you should not participate in it.
When the entire empire is conquered, I still need you to continue your work according to the list on the roster.
I know you're jealous, but you also have to look for a way to do it. ”
Although Wright said so much, the Sin Light members led by him were still a little hesitant and seemed to want to fight for it.
"It's an order, understand?"
The Sin Lights sighed helplessly, "Yes, Sect Ancestor. ”
"Alright, let's go deliver the message. All members of the Sinlight Sect must withdraw from the borders of the First Empire within three days, and must return to the Holy Capital to report within ten days. ”
"Yes, Godfather."
The people of the Sinlight Sect began to act one after another, and the small church, which was originally very lively, suddenly fell silent.
Wright took Emily here for a little tour, and she felt a lot of emotion.
The building, which looked like an ordinary shop, has been renovated and renovated into a chapel for the faithful to pray and worship.
This church can be described as a small sparrow, but it is full of gall, whether it is a statue of a goddess or a holy pool.
And from the point of view of cleanliness, it should be carefully cleaned and wiped every day.
Although it is small, shabby and simple, it is more enjoyable than the golden church.
"Wright, what are we going to do next?"
Emily was obviously not in the same good mood as him: "If there are other rotten nests in the empire, and there are still such monsters hidden, something big will happen sooner or later." ”
"Whether it's fruit trees or crops, you need fertile soil to thrive."
Wright smiled as she stood in front of the Twin Goddesses of Light with her hands behind her back.
This statue of the goddess is very interesting, the original statue of the goddess Afra is a few years old, and the statue of Joanna was made later.
It seems that because of the tension between the Empire and the Church after Advent, the Church here did not receive the standard twin goddess diagram issued by the Holy Capital.
So, Joanna's idol was changed from Afra's.
It can also be regarded as a special product in special times and special circumstances.
Emily stood in front of Wright, "What do you mean?" ”
Wright sighed: "Is this hard to understand? Rotten nests don't grow that big out of thin air.
If you just find a place to place a nest, you can breed such a terrible monster.
Then this corrupt lady doesn't have to be a lackey apostle to the door of truth.
The reason why the monsters in this glorious cathedral are so strong is because those people in the original cathedral have blasphemed the Holy Light, which is itself an outward manifestation of corruption.
Don't forget, Lady Corruption is a conceptual god.
Needless to say, the physical corruption of the body, the corruption of the soul, the mind, and the soul are also corruption.
Therefore, those who are supposed to advocate the priesthood of the Light, who are supposed to advocate truth, goodness and beauty, and those churches that are supposed to be the Holy Land of Light, have become no longer holy and pure, for some external reasons.
This is also a kind of corruption.
And these corrupt phenomena are the nourishment on which the rotten nest depends.
The city's cathedral, and the clergy inside, are more seriously and thoroughly corrupted, so the situation is more serious.
But I've just looked at the roster, and if it's correct, there are only five in the empire that are worse than this city.
Three of them had already been solved by the Sin Lights, and nothing unusual was felt in the process.
The other two are not good for the time being.
There are four more as serious as the city, and the rest are much less corrupted.
Even if you plant a rotten nest, it won't be a big problem.
We, there is time. ”
Emily had a strange expression: "However, if we clean up the past one by one, I don't know how much time it will take."
Do we really have so much time and energy to stay in the Empire?
Don't forget, there's still a war going on on the front line.
What's more, our identities are sensitive.
It's good to say that if you keep showing your whereabouts once or twice, you will inevitably cause trouble. ”
Wright didn't speak this time, just stared at the statue of the goddess without moving.
Just as Emily was about to ask again, a girl's voice suddenly sounded behind them.
"Why don't you let me help you?"
Emily looked back, her face changed dramatically, and she pulled out her crowbar and waited.
It's none other than the witch killer who had a relationship last time.,The witch who corresponds to the fairy tale is a little girl who sells matches.。
Wright asked without looking back, "What, are you willing to come out and talk?" ”
"You found me a long time ago?"
"That's not right, you should have discovered me a long time ago and followed us all the time."
The witch killer smiled and shook his head: "No, no, no, you should be fishing for me."
Knowing that I, as a witch killer, have the ability to detect the whereabouts of witches, I still swaggered around the empire with a witch by my side.
How could I not have found you in such an obvious situation? ”
Emily froze for a moment, then grabbed Wright's arm with a grunt.
"You, you, you! You use me as bait. ”
"I would like to use you as dog food, bird food, pig feed, but you don't have that quality."
Wright reached out and rubbed Emily's head, "Look, you're a successful bait!" ”
"Humph!"
Emily opened Wright's hand and ducked to the side to sulk. Wright smiled and ignored her, instead turning and walking over to the witch killer.
"I'm fishing for you, yes, but what do you mean by cooperation? This...... That's not what I intended. ”
"I can help you investigate these churches."
"Without you, I can still ask someone from the Sinlight Sect to help me."
"They can sense the strangeness of the church, but the monsters hidden under the church can sense them too."
The little match girl behaved very calmly: "The more they appear, the people behind the monsters will inevitably be on guard."
With their combat effectiveness, it is very likely that there will be danger.
But I'm different, I can feel the other person's presence like they do, but I can not be aware of the other person.
The most important thing is that as long as I have enough witch strength, I can become strong and not be caught by enemies. ”
Emily turned her head and glared at her, "How can you feel it?" I'm an elemental witch and I can't even feel it! Not even my beastly instincts were aware of it. ”
"I have a specialization in the art industry, and I can feel this unknown strange ability, and it is also because of the ability of the Blood Witch."
The witch slayer spread his hands: "I dare to say this because I have been in contact with a similar Holy Light Cathedral before.
That disgusting feeling is still fresh in my memory.
I noticed it just now when His Highness Wright was fighting that four-winged monster.
So, I'm 100% confident that I can find each other and not be discovered by them! ”
Lightmo rubbed his chin: "The blood element, it is indeed special. The Blood Witch is indeed very weird.
But...... Does the Blood Witch really have this ability? ”
"I can't explain the power of the wish to you, I just said I can do it."
The witch slayer made a neck wipe motion as she spoke, "If you can give me the power to destroy this monster, I can even help you get rid of it." ”
Wright's eyes narrowed slightly: "You're a little arrogant." Can you do it with your ability?
You haven't even reached the Holy Order, have you? ”
Emily waved her little fist: "That's it!" ”
"I don't know why, the power of the Blood Witch has a strong ability to restrain those monsters and their strength.
Unless you can find Scarlett, the Blood Witch, right now, and make her do your bidding.
Otherwise......
I'm definitely the best person for you. ”
The witch killer stretched out his hand: "Give me the power of the witch, and I will help you solve these problems." How, isn't that very profitable for you? ”
"Can't give it to her!"
Emily hurriedly blocked in front of Wright: "I don't know if this guy is friend or foe!" ”
"We're probably not friends, but as long as you're willing to provide me with witch power, we'll never be enemies."
The Witch Slayer was very honest: "If there is a stable supply of all kinds of witches' power, I don't want to take the great risk of attacking other witches and stealing their power!"
If you don't do it well, you will give up your life. ”
"No one wants to be a match girl."
Wright didn't answer the other party's request directly, but such a sentence suddenly appeared for no reason.
Emily looked dazed: "You...... What do you say all of a sudden? ”
"Wish power is an important part of witch power, and it is also the source of the special effect of witch power.
But like I said, no one wants to be a match girl, you don't have much willingness.
With the establishment of the fairy tale town, people's yearning for the fairy tale world will become an important supplementary source of willingness.
Therefore, even if there are many fairy tale images that are not very pleasing, they can eat the benefits of the group effect and gradually concretize their own spirit.
For example, Emily's gray wolf.
No one wants to be the Big Bad Wolf, but because of Fairy Tale Town, he can take shape.
But, what's the matter with you?
You can't get power from Fairytale Town, and even before Fairytale Town was created, you had the power of the little match girl.
So I'm curious, what is the source of your abilities. ”
The witch slayer fell silent before speaking slowly after a long time.
"Sorry, I don't know."
Emily frowned: "Lying, how could you not know?" ”
"So you know what? Do you know why you're a witch? ”
The witch killer suddenly became emotional, and roared angrily: "It's not that I want to be a witch, and it's not that I'm willing to bear this damn curse!"
Why should I know? I want to know too! But who can tell me!?
I also want to know why it was me and why I was so unlucky!
But who, has anyone asked me for my opinion? ”
After the witch killer finished roaring, she snorted and gasped.
Emily was startled at first, then walked up to her with red eyes and grabbed both of her hands.
"Wright has found a way to end the witch's curse, and we will be the last witch. The tragedy will end here. ”
Witch Buster took a few deep breaths to calm her emotions before looking at Wright.
"So, this deal, are you going to do it? Even if I don't know the principle of my power. ”
"Yes, but we'll have to agree on the specifics."
