Chapter 377： confusion

In the port of Nessberg, Friedrich List was standing on the pier to see off his companion McKinley.

"Be sure to send greetings to the people in my hometown for me!"

"Okay, okay, I'll remember this. Really, I'm so envious that you can still enjoy your time here."

McKinley will lead the recruited craftsmen back to the Northwest Bay by boat, while Lister will continue to stay in the Horn Bay to inspect for a period of time, and establish an office and contact point for the boss in Niceburg.

McKinley pressed Liszt's shoulder: "Let's make an agreement, you don't want to cause trouble after I leave."

Liszt pouted: "How can I cause trouble?"

McKinley frowned: "Hmph! I still have lingering fears about what happened in Huajie that day! If you are unfamiliar with the place, don't cause trouble."

"Let's go, hurry up and get on board!"

Just when he was about to continue chattering, a sailor's shout came from the boat.

"Oh, I'm leaving, remember my words! We'll go drink together when we get back." McKinley had no choice but to walk towards the diving board.

After waving goodbye to his companion, Liszt felt a burst of relief all over his body, because of what happened in Huajie that day, he didn't know how many times he was nagged by the other party in recent days, and now he is finally clean.

Strolling on the streets of Nissberg, Liszt decided to give himself a day off first, as long as there is no one to supervise him.

"Have you heard? The purification team has captured a group of wizards."

"I know, it is said that it is held in the dungeon of the cathedral."

"It is estimated that in a few days, there will be another public burning."

"Fire torture, it's terrible! Alas, speaking of those wizards, they are also miserable, and I haven't seen them come out to make trouble on weekdays, that is, they are described as mysterious in horror stories."

"Shh... don't let the people in the church listen to you."

Liszt heard such gossip from the street, and he couldn't help but think of what happened in the hotel that night, alas, I hope that woman is not among those wizards. How should I put it, although I was a little scared, but I didn't really hurt myself, and... she is still very beautiful.

"Find a restaurant to fill your stomach first... ah!"

His shoulder was shoved violently by a sudden force, which made him unsteady and fell to the ground.

Liszt looked up dissatisfiedly: "Who! So rude...uh!"

The person who pushed him next to him was a strong man with his arms outstretched, holding a dagger in each hand. It was he who suddenly jumped up just now, and touched Liszt with his arms.

If his range was wider, the blade in his hand would be able to scratch Liszt's face.

What made Liszt want to scold but didn't dare to scold was that the other party had a badge with the church logo pinned to his chest.

Really bad luck.

He hurriedly stood up from the ground and dodged aside. It was obvious that the other party was not paying attention to him, so he quickly left the center of the conflict.

Not only Liszt, but also the people around him "consciously" gave up a large open space centered on the strong man.

Only a man wrapped in a cloak stood still, less than ten meters in front of the strong man, with his back turned to him.

The brawny man smiled grimly and said, "Hehe, your senses are quite sharp, you are not ordinary at first sight! Turn around and let me take a good look at you."

As he spoke, he walked towards the opponent with strides, but his hands were still holding the dagger tightly.

"I have an intuition—an intuition for witchcraft! When you passed me just now, I seemed to feel a familiar feeling. Stranger, please cooperate with me to check it! It will not be good to defy our purification team end!"

The person standing in front of him remained motionless, and said in a small but clear voice: "Hmph! It's that dog leg who doesn't know the so-called god!"

It was a female voice, and the atmosphere on the street suddenly stagnated.

The people around looked at the man in the cloak with incredulous eyes, and even the strong man who claimed to be the purification team stopped in his tracks, with his mouth half-opened, as if suspecting that he had heard wrong.

You have already reported the identity of the purification team, and you still say this, isn't this slapping the church in the face?

"Hahaha! Hahaha!" The strong man smiled instead of anger, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Good courage, good courage!"

Immediately after he finished laughing, he put on a hideous face, "Look up your head, what building is in front of you?"

The man in the cloak didn't move, but Liszt looked in that direction, and the towering spiers came into view. Did he walk around the cathedral unknowingly?

The strong man roared: "I don't care if you are a wizard or not, just because you say such outrageous words in front of me, it is enough to be accused of blasphemy, everyone present can witness! I will tie you up Burn at the stake! Burn!"

"Then it depends on your ability!"

Although the strong man was very imposing, the cloaked woman still spoke in an unhurried tone. She turned around and slowly took off the hood that originally covered most of her face.

"she…"

Liszt almost cried out in astonishment, that face was none other than the witch who had "skin-to-skin relationship" with him in the hotel that night.

Why is she here? As a witch, she ran near the church's headquarters in Nissberg, this... Isn't this a self-inflicted trap?

The witch raised the cloak behind her, revealing what she was wearing inside. She was wearing a hunting suit and long leather boots, looking very capable and exuding a heroic spirit.

"I'll let you see my skills right now... Haha!"

The strong man licked the corner of his mouth and rushed forward with a shout.

It was too late to say it, but the witch raised her hand, and a powdery substance was thrown out by her, flying on the path of the strong man.

Then she pointed forward with her index finger, and a large cluster of flames suddenly appeared out of thin air, followed by a dazzling burst of light.

Liszt only felt that his eyes were white, and then he couldn't see anything, just like staring at the sun at noon, he subconsciously turned his head to avert his eyes, but his eyes immediately fell into darkness, and his head was dizzy.

"Woo, how uncomfortable!"

He rubbed his eyes vigorously, and it took him a while to see clearly what was going on around him.

At this time, the street was already in chaos, and the noise was endless.

Shouts like "Witch!", "Witchcraft!", "Run away!" filled the surroundings. What happened just now made them believe that the cloaked man was a real witch.

Although people have long been dissatisfied with the unjust, false and wrong cases brought about by the church in the witch hunt movement and the behavior of some clergymen who took advantage of the opportunity to make profits, the terrifying image of wizards is still deeply rooted in people's hearts. A wizard suddenly appeared on the street, and people's The first reaction is to run away.

But there were quite a lot of people on the street, and the light emitted by the magic just now made many people dizzy, causing a situation of bumping into each other and trampling on each other. In fact, not many people ran out.

Liszt staggered and hid behind a pile of wooden barrels on the side of the street, looking at the place where the witch was standing just now, there was no one there at this time.

The strong man who was blocked by the spell also recovered. The effect of the witch's spell is not only dizzy, the flames released hit the strong man in the assault head-on However, the power of this cluster of flames is not It wasn't big, it didn't cause too much damage to him, but the clothes and hair all over his body were burnt, and the original bronze skin was covered with a layer of black ash, and he was in a mess, without the momentum just now.

"Damn! Damn witch! Damn witch! I curse you, go to hell!"

He opened his eyes and found that the object he was chasing had disappeared, and he couldn't help but curse.

"I must catch you! No wizard has escaped from me yet!"

He roared loudly to the surroundings: "Everyone stand still, I want to check one by one!"

He was afraid that the woman in the cloak would hide in the crowd and escape in disorder. Damn it, her cloak was a common style in Niceburg, and you could see several of them at a glance. But as long as ordinary people are ordered not to move, the person who is running away must be a witch.

It's a pity that no one listened to him in the chaos. Even though he was a member of the church purification team, the streets were still noisy and chaotic.

"Damn! These cowardly fools!"

At first, he just had doubts about the woman he passed by. Unexpectedly! After asking, I really ran into a witch.

What a contempt for the church for a mere witch who actually... actually... even wandered around the cathedral?

She must not be allowed to escape, otherwise the Cleansing Team and even the Nessberg Church would lose face.

"Woo-woo-"

The strong man took off the horn that was hanging on his waist before, and blew vigorously towards the sky.

His reinforcements will be here soon.
