Lin Yi and others walked quietly through Shengyu City without attracting the attention of others, and there was no farewell ceremony.
Forty minutes later, everyone arrived at the stone house on the city wall.
In the stone house, a middle-aged man sat upright, and beside him sat a young man.
The young man looked a little absent-minded, as if he was thinking about other things.
"That's the general situation, Laurent, let's leave first." Carmen and the other four old men sat opposite the middle-aged man. When they heard Carmen directly address the middle-aged man by his name, the people beside him The young man couldn't help but be stunned.
Obviously, he does not know Carmen, or to be precise, with the power he currently has, he has not had the opportunity to contact Carmen.
Carmen rarely leaves the Holy Healing Church headquarters, and the two parties belong to different power systems.
Furthermore, the power system that the young man belongs to is not hereditary, so if the young man wants to inherit his father's power, he must be very capable.
"Be careful on the road."
The pope's eyes flickered over Carmen and the others. The pope had actually heard a little bit about what Carmen and the others had just experienced in the Holy Healing Church.
Just seeing that these people were all in high spirits, the Pope didn't intend to ask any more questions.
After Carmen and the other four people successfully met up with Lin Yi, they headed out of the city.
In the carriage, Melody's face looked extremely pale.
She originally thought that what a few people said about going to the south was just a joke, but just a few minutes ago, she actually met the Pope of the Holy Healing Church!
No matter how you look at this situation, it is definitely not a joke.
The Pope personally came to see him off, and it seemed that he was really about to leave for the southern region.
Above the city wall, the Pope stood for a long time, looking at the two carriages that were slowly driving away, while the eyes of the young man beside him were full of doubts.
"Father, these people just ran to the south. Although they look very heroic, aren't they going to die..." The young man couldn't help but say.
"Be careful!" The pope looked stern, glanced at his eighth son, and finally just shook his head slightly, with a complicated expression on his face.
"When they were once glorious, you were still in your infancy. Not everyone is greedy for the vain fame. You must keep these people in mind. What they did is because we don't have the courage. It's impossible to do it. Besides, among these people, there are so many witch hunters that even Senator Carmen calls them monsters," the Pope said with a hint of emotion in his tone.
"Holy Councilor?" The eighth son couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard the name Carmen, and then quickly turned his attention to the carriage that had gone away.
It was only then that he suddenly realized why these ordinary old men could actually let the Pope come to see them off in person.
The two carriages were driving on the dirt road. Their bodies were a little heavy, and they left deep ruts wherever they passed.
The iron-black carriage looks unattractive, but the Dokens pulling the carriage in front of it look extremely majestic.
After Melody learned the names of Carmen and the other old men, she was like a mouse meeting a cat and hid in the carriage where Lin Yi was. No matter what, she did not dare to get close to the carriage of the Sunset Red Team.
Among the witch community, the Sunset Red Team led by Carmen is notorious, almost to the point of being known to all women and children.
Any witch who is a little older has heard about the methods of these people.
Although these people have never shown any cruelty in front of Su Xiao and Lin Yi, to the witches, they are all demons, real demons.
Click...
The mechanical winch rotates, and the drunkards of the 'Sunset Red' team climb under the carriage and are dismantling something.
"Are you done? Dockens, who is pulling the car, can hardly bear it anymore. Let go of the winch!" The old man, who was as strong as a bear, slapped the car floorboard hard, making constant banging sounds, and his temper seemed to show. Extremely irritable.
"Come on, come on, shut up!" The drunkard is obviously not someone to be trifled with. He plays the role of an investigator in the team and is good at many skills such as equipment repair, explosives mixing and assassination.
The old man Josiah, who was as strong as a bear, was obviously the type to fight head-on. He charged forward nine times out of ten battles.
Saint Councilor Carmen belongs to the scheming type. In terms of strength, he can't compare to Josiah; in terms of skills, he can't compare to Witch Grave; but in terms of overall ability, he is quite outstanding.
Witch Tomb, who previously suffered from Alzheimer's disease, was responsible for providing long-range firepower in the team. He was extremely good at using various long-range weapons such as crossbows, shotguns, siege crossbows, and blow darts, and he captured the witch alive every time. Later, he was responsible for the torture.
Drunk, Blood Bear, Carmen, and Gunter, these are the names the four of them call each other,
The four people on the carriage looked as normal, and could not see the courage of the warrior to leave and never return, because in their view, it was reasonable to leave and never come back, to die in the south was a duty, and to come back alive was to earn money with blood.
Gunter was concentrating on wiping the shotgun in his hand. Since Lin Yi cured his Alzheimer's disease, Gunter could more and more truly feel the poor condition of his body.
For Gunter, the time he experiences seems to be jumping, and this is the sadness of Alzheimer's disease.
When he wakes up from the chaos caused by the disease, he will often suddenly realize that he is in another completely unfamiliar place, and he will also lose all memories about himself during this period, as if he suddenly experienced an inexplicable experience. The time travel is general.
But now that he has the opportunity to use his last remaining energy, Gunter will naturally not give up this opportunity.
"We will take a detour from here. If the earth's veins do not change too significantly, there will be a large swamp here. And once we arrive here, it means that we have penetrated deep into the hinterland of the south.
At that time, we can only abandon the carriage and pass through the Gate of Dawn from here. After passing the Gate of Dawn, it is the direct territory of the MILF family. After passing through the Dawn Gate, there is the Dustwallow Altar on this side, and the Mistkeep is on that side. "Carmen said as she stretched out her finger and clicked on a bloody red area on the map. This area has a special mark on the map.
"Do I have to pass through here?" Lin Yi pointed to the location of the Dawn Gate on the map.
The reason why this place is called the Gate of Dawn is because there is only one passage here.
As long as those witches are not stupid, they will definitely have people on guard here.
"We have to pass through here. The Gate of Dawn was not built by witches. This place is a naturally dangerous place. No witch would choose to live nearby. In the past few times, we came from the Puzzle Forest or the Wind Tower. If we pass, we will naturally have to change the route this time." Carmen is very experienced and knows the terrain of the south very well. After all, he has been to the southern region many times.
"The Gate of Dawn seems to be my hometown." Witch Tomb suddenly spoke, immediately attracting the attention of others around him.
"Oh? How come I've never heard of you talking about this?" It was obvious that Carmen and the other old men had never heard Gunter mention this.
"There is no need to say anything. When I was four years old, a witch came to do experiments. She released some kind of creation that almost killed all the residents of the Gate of Dawn. I only escaped by chance. That's all." Gunter said it very calmly, as if he was telling a trivial incident, but everyone knew that the impact of this incident on Gunter was undoubtedly extremely huge.
Among these people, Gaunt is the one who hates witches the most and acts the craziest. Just from his nickname, we can see how deep Gaunt hates witches. This incident that happened when he was a child had a profound impact on Gaunt. Specialties have had a particularly large impact.
"As long as you successfully pass through the Gate of Dawn, you have to be extra careful. You just need to have a general understanding of the situation of the Dust Altar. In the past few times, the bad luck lived in the Dust Altar, but in recent years, the situation has changed. I'm not sure. As for the Mist Castle..." Carmen began to introduce the situation of the Mist Castle in detail.
The Mist Castle was built halfway up a mountain range. Since there are waterfalls on both sides of the mountain range, looking up from the bottom of the mountain, the fortress looks hazy, as if it is floating in the mist, which is quite mysterious.
Mist Castle is the headquarters of the MILF family, and its status is as important as the headquarters of the Holy Healing Church.
Moinola has settled in Mist Castle for many years. If nothing unexpected happens, she will most likely be here.
The Sunset Red Team's plan is to go to the Dust Altar to resolve the bad luck first, and then let Su Xiao and Lin Yi attack the Mist Castle.
However, Lin Yi rejected this proposal. Lin Yi and Su Xiao have a friend communication channel. In this case, fighting against Doom and Moi Nora, the two of them act separately and communicate in real time, which is undoubtedly the most efficient response. method.
After the Sunset Red Team heard that the two had such contact information, they immediately agreed to Lin Yi's request.
There had been several witch hunting operations before that ended in failure. The reason was that the two teams sent by the Holy Healing Church were unable to exchange information in real time at the time, which led to many problems during the execution of the witch hunting operations. error.
And this time, since there is an opportunity to communicate in real time, Carmen will naturally not object to this.
Pop Gal didn't speak during the whole journey, he just stayed quietly beside Lin Yi.
When the teams were divided, Pop Garr stood directly next to Lin Yi, his purpose couldn't be more obvious.
After the team arrangement, Su Xiao, Amu, Bubo Wang and the Sunset Red team were responsible for going to kill Moinola.
Lin Yi went with Popgar to get rid of the bad luck.
"This is the general plan. As for the specific details, we can flexibly control them based on the actual situation. There shouldn't be any big problems."
Lin Yi threw the pencil in his hand onto the map that Carmen took out. Carmen was originally responsible for planning this matter, but when Lin Yi proposed the plan, the person in charge changed from Carmen to Lin Yi.
"That's good, but there is one more thing we need to do before we leave for the Gate of Dawn." At this point, Carmen tightly held the cane in her hand.
There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the Sunset Red Team, but they have not conducted a witch hunt for a long time and need to warm up.
Especially the old men like Witch Tomb, they haven't done anything for a long time.
At this time, the group was still in the Central Plains area and headed straight to the south. If they wanted to warm up, there were many witches in the southern area, so they would not worry about finding "opponents" to warm up with.
……
To the south, Mistkeep.
The rapid waterfall flew down, and the roaring sound of the water spread throughout the valley. Below the valley, one could vaguely see the scattered wooden houses. Most people think that the witch's base camp will be an extremely luxurious place, but the reality is not like this.
Most witches have the kind of temperament that likes to "sit at home". As long as they have sufficient reserves of materials on hand, these paranoid women can stay at home peacefully for half a year or even a year, thinking about how to do it. Improve your own strength, or focus on developing various novel weapons and so on.
Witches with sufficient experimental materials are not actually dangerous, but one thing is that witches are originally transformed from humans, and their body structure is more than 99% similar to humans.
Because of this, before they start to develop potions or try to tap some of their own abilities, they often conduct experiments on civilians. The purpose is to avoid the irreversible damage to themselves if the experiment fails.
When witches are "squatting at home", it's really not that dangerous.
But once the experimental "materials" they have stored are exhausted, it's time for the evil spirits to emerge. This is true, and humans will hate witches so much.
A shrill wail came from the cabin in the valley. After a while, the screams gradually became weaker and weaker.
On the inside of this valley is a towering mountain. Halfway up the mountain, between two rushing waterfalls, a castle is built.
Perhaps because of the passage of time, the castle seems to have almost perfectly integrated with the mountains behind it, as if it is a part of the mountains.
In the water pool directly below the castle, the waterfall stirs up large white sprays. From the relatively gentle clear water on the shore, mist rises. The water flowing down from the waterfall is not cold. It is actually a natural hot spring.
A dozen naked witches were enjoying themselves in the hot spring.
Although most witches like to stay at home, it doesn't mean that they don't like to be clean. Besides, there are also natural hot springs here. It's also good to relax in the hot springs.
Gululu...
A little girl with short gray hair was immersed in the warm water. A dozen witches around her would turn their attention to her from time to time, keeping an eye on her in case something unexpected happened to the little girl.
The little girl is a fourth-stage white witch. She broke common sense and awakened the power of prophecy in the fourth stage.
Instead of inferring the future with the help of words or predictions, she can directly see the future and show it.
Of course, this powerful ability has a weakness, that is, it cannot predict people who are too powerful.
Because of this, this little white witch is the darling of most black witches. Who doesn't have bad luck every day? If the little girl foresees danger, it can save the lives of these witches.
"Amy, you're going to faint if you keep soaking like this." A plump witch said as she gently picked up the little girl from the hot spring.
"The future..." The little girl's voice sounded dull and dull.
The moment he heard her words, the dozen or so witches around him all looked at her, and even the royal sister who was holding her up suddenly became serious.
"Amy, what did you see."
Sister Yu gently held the little girl's back. The ability to predict the future was not without risks. The little girl would sometimes go into shock during the period of predicting the future.
After a while, the dull look on the little girl's face gradually faded away. She slowly stretched out her finger and gently touched the water.
As she moved, circles of ripples spread slowly, and a clear picture gradually emerged in the water.
"These old men are... witch hunters?"
"It looks a bit similar, so just think of them."
"Are all the witch hunters of the Holy Healing Church extinct? They actually sent these old, weak, sick and disabled people to our south." Several witches were talking in a hurry. As soon as they finished speaking, a white-haired man The black witch suddenly stood up from the water.
"Witch...grave." The old witch, whose body was covered with scars, could not stop trembling at the corners of her mouth, and there was a look of fear in her eyes.
At the junction of the Central Plains and the South, this is a large plain. Due to various restrictions on financial resources and various resources, there is no decent border defense line set up here. The only thing that can be seen is a dark plain, with a kind of The smell of desolation and death.
On this plain, there is a solitary dead tree.
The breeze blew gently, and the corpses of several witches hanging on the trees swayed slowly, as if they were dead souls struggling helplessly in the wind, giving off a sense of gloom.
And on the tree trunk were nailed the bodies of three men. They were all witch hunters who had sneaked into the south.
This dead tree is the border monument. After passing here, you will enter the territory of the witches. The Central Plains and the west are the territory of the Holy Healing Church. The northern territory where people can freeze to death is under the jurisdiction of the King of the North. The eastern part is the territory of tribes and indigenous people. To the south is the country of witches.
The entire Dark Crow Continent is divided into three large parts, the central plains and the west are one piece, the north is one piece, and the east and south are one piece.
There are many barbarian tribes living in the eastern region. There is no ruler here who can control all parties. Various conflicts often break out between the various tribes.
Those relatively weak tribes often fled due to reasons such as losing battles.
The climate conditions in the north are too cold. For these savages in the east who live a relatively primitive life, it is simply a restricted area of life, so they will never go to the north.
As a result, the south bordering the east will be in bad luck.
As the place where witches are entrenched, the degree of internal disorder in the south is simply beyond imagination.
Although the status of the MILF family in the south is indeed high, with the witches' always unruly temperament, it is simply impossible for the MILF family to bring all the witches under their control.
From this point, we can see the extent of chaos in the southern region.
The east and south are areas bordering each other, and the environmental conditions in the two places are very similar. This makes it possible for primitive tribes from the east to flood into the south.
Of course, witches are willing to accept anyone who comes. They will not easily enter the east, but they will not refuse experimental materials that come to their doorstep.
If the witch country in the south and the Holy Healing Church are in a situation of mutual restraint, and neither side will rashly send an army to provoke a large-scale war, then the relationship between the witches and the primitive indigenous people in the east can be It's a constant war.
The number of witches who died at the hands of primitive tribes was definitely greater than the number of witches who died at the hands of witch hunters. This was mainly caused by factors such as the regional environment.
As for uniting the eastern tribes to deal with the witches, that is simply impossible.
Especially after Moinola took measures to disperse the witches, the primitive tribes from the east poured into the south very quickly, and their numbers also increased rapidly.
People from these primitive tribes don't care whether this is the so-called witch country. As long as they think a place is suitable for them to live, they will immediately occupy a piece of land and start developing it.
It looks like the witch country of the south is being invaded, but that's not the case.
The real intention of Moinola's move was to let the witches invade the eastern region and develop the rich and untapped resources in the east.
This is the reason why development in the south has accelerated in the recent past.
On the carriage, Su Xiao looked at the several natives in front of them with doubts. The group had just entered the south and did not meet the witch. Unexpectedly, they were blocked by several shirtless savages with various graffiti all over their bodies.
Looking at the postures of those natives, it was clear that they wanted to block the road and rob them.
Of course, it doesn't seem impossible to enjoy them as lunch.
"Carmen, who are these natives?"
Su Xiao didn't get out of the car, but just opened the door.
"I'm not sure. It seems that the changes in the south are really big. Why don't you arrest a few and come over for interrogation?" Carmen said with a frown.
"It feels like a waste of time." Su Xiao shook her head and responded.
"That's true. Look at their expressions. It seems they plan to use us as lunch. In that case, just kill us. Blood Bear, don't sleep. Some tribesmen say you look like a stupid donkey. ." Carmen said, raising her voice deliberately.
"Fart! You can't understand the language of those savages, it's all nonsense!" Blood Bear Josiah suddenly woke up from his stupor and retorted angrily.
When a few people were arguing, Pop Garr raised his finger, and a flaming arrow appeared in front of Pop Garr's finger.
These flaming arrows flew towards the two tribal savages who were charging forward. The moment they were hit by the arrows, their heads exploded and their bodies fell to the ground.
Seeing such a horrifying scene, the other savages dared not stay, but turned around and fled as fast as they could.
"Are these savages... so spineless now? If it were more than ten years ago, they would have rushed up screaming."
The Blood Bear grinned, unable to imagine that he was a respected holy councilor.
"Kill them all, so as not to cause other troubles." Carmen was obviously not a good person when he was young. His consistent purpose was to either not kill at all and pretend to be a good person; or to kill him. Kill them all, leaving no one alive.
The muscles on the Blood Bear's arms bulged and he picked up a few stones from the ground. After a few harsh blasts of wind, the few savages who had run away fell to the ground.
Melody, who had witnessed the whole scene, couldn't help but shrink her head. She had heard before about how ruthless the previous generation of witch hunters was, but she never thought that one day she would actually be with the witch hunter. These witch hunters form a team, which is really unpredictable.
After dealing with the tribal savages who were blocking the road, the two carriages continued to move forward, heading deeper into the southern territory. (End of chapter)
