Even if you become a witch, you have to eat oranges

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Those three back then were already very beautiful even though they were very young. How could they look like this now!"

He pointed at the disguised faces of the three girls, full of disbelief.

Saying this to her face, Elena felt that this person must not be destined for a woman, and it was unlikely that he would become one in the future.

"...That bishop-level amulet."

She chose the most secretive and impressive answer.

"No way! It's really you!" Ryan was shocked again, then looked regretful:

"It's okay. Even if you are disabled now, don't be depressed. You are still young, maybe it will get better in the future!"

The corners of Elena's mouth twitched. Even if they were disguised, the three of them still looked ordinary.Although if you know what they looked like when they were children, they would indeed be considered disabled.

"It's really stupid, but I feel more at ease this way."

"Too……"

Elena turned back in confusion, looked at Lini and Ka Lei, and asked:

"What are you talking about?"

Lini came over, hugged her waist and pointed at the young Ryan:

"Don't you think he's pretty handsome? Do you feel anything special after not seeing him for so long?"

"I think he may never find a wife in his life."

"Passed!"

Lini clapped her hands and high-fived Ka Lei beside her to celebrate.

Elena looked at the two of them in disbelief and decided not to think deeply.

"Let's go find Uncle Cotton."

……

The stronghold of the Bronze Sword is a spacious compound with a simple sword-shaped sign in front.In one of the rooms here.

"They must be disguised! Are you stupid?"

Cotton slapped Ryan, who looked regretful, and shook his head speechlessly.

This middle-aged man seems to have not changed much. A powerful warrior has a longer peak period, and his aging is relatively less obvious.

"A few years have passed in a blink of an eye. The children back then have grown up. Am I also old..."

Cotton looked a little emotional.

"Don't worry about this, let's talk about serious matters." Several people selectively ignored Ryan and began to discuss.

"It has been determined that old Cade was the owner of the Platinum Chamber of Commerce, but he has often ignored the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce for many years, and has a puppet in charge."

"Can you report it directly to the Holy See? Matters involving cultists should be taken very seriously."

"If I could, I would have done it long ago." Cotton smiled bitterly, and he said meaningfully:

"The Holy See will not arbitrarily arrest big businessmen or nobles without sufficient evidence. This is the basis for their rapid expansion in human territory."

"Furthermore, Father Shivenson has become an official priest and has been transferred to this parish."

It was a name he had heard years ago, when he was a novice priest.He took advantage of the Holy See's opportunity to provide relief to the victims and select qualified girls for the Hades sect.

Volume 62, Third Coffin: [-]. Intelligence and Competition

Combining some of the knowledge in Hela's memory and previous experiences, the purpose of the Hades cult can be clearly seen.

One is to sacrifice lives by raiding remote villages, thereby awakening or enhancing the power of Hades.With Chthon's body now complete, it is possible that there will be no need for either extreme of development or that he will become hungry for more.

The second one seemed to be taking advantage of the time of creating a large number of refugees to select girls with witch qualifications and say they were dedicated to Hades, but Elena suspected that they were used for experiments.

Micahru's half-vampire experiments, and the executioners and puppets created by Cililem may all be the result of this.

"The man who contacted us has delivered a lot of useful information over the years."

Cotton looked around subconsciously and lowered his voice.Upon seeing this, Elena directly used her mental power to sweep around, taking all the disturbances nearby under her control.

"There used to be a total of eight senior cadres in their ranks. They have definitely increased or decreased over the years, but the number should not be much different. The 'Joker' disappeared, and the 'Assassin' who was once suspended came to the forefront again."

"Almost all of their activities revolve around the oracles delivered by the 'God's Messenger', but the God's Messenger - that is, the witch Shilem, has not appeared for a long time."

"The reason why I wrote to you is because not long ago, Shilem appeared again."

"She issued a series of instructions to various cadres. The specific circumstances are unknown. But there are various signs that they may start sacrificing again soon."

Elena listened silently and sighed:

"It seems that the surrounding villages are not peaceful again."

"Unforgivable..." Ka Lei on the side suddenly spoke. She was just listening quietly, but now she seemed to be a little uncontrollable with resentment:

"Elena, I want to stop them! We must not let them continue to kill innocent people!"

Lini next to her also looked a little unhappy.Both of them were victims in the past, and Lini's mother died in that disaster.

"Yes. This is exactly why we are here." Elena gave them both a comforting look and asked Cotton:

"Is there any more detailed information over there? When will they take action?"

"We can't know this yet. After all, the dark man is not a high-level cadre. However, there should still be some time."

Elena understood, after all, she was told through a letter.If it was really urgent, I wouldn't use this method.

"If the cult group wants to make a big move, or if Shilem takes action himself... it will be difficult for us to deal with it on our own, so we have to ask for the help of our elders."

Aite was the most active in dealing with Hilem. She even sneaked into the enemy's base camp for a long time to collect intelligence.

Under her influence, Lernina will definitely make great efforts, but after all, she is the head of the Elta family and has the important responsibility of managing the secret realm, so she may not take action herself.

His master, Alisa, actually only fought against Shilem once.But it was shameful to say that Elena felt that if she was in danger, she would put down what she was doing and come to help.

The problem is, the Hilam I saw at that time was too powerful.It sounds like she has reached the level of a witch's 'ruler'.

This is the threshold for a great witch. Once crossed, her strength surges.Aite, who was holding a powerful space magic device, teamed up with the blood Earl Windsor, but they failed to kill the blood witch who was suspected to be in bad condition.

Is she really Shilem?I always feel a little inconsistent, like I am another person.

"It's a bit of a headache. I hope everything goes well in the future."

"I never thought that one day I would be together with several witches to discuss how to deal with another witch."

Cotton suddenly smiled. He glanced at the three girls and sighed:

"Three little slaves who were in prison at that time, I probably can't beat you now."

Elena said more modestly:

"As witches, we are still very immature, and we are still very weak."

Even so, as long as it wasn't Hilam himself who did it, or it was the Hades body.Facing other senior cadres of cult groups, Elena believed that she was still capable of fighting.

The top cadres of the cultists are at least as powerful as official witches. The 'assassins' who have fought against each other are wavering between the blood baron and the viscount. I wonder if they will face each other again.

The former 'Joker' was a demon hunter who was equivalent to a senior witch. He was very powerful and ranked among the top cadres.

Unfortunately, he met Aite and was killed within a few rounds.

A few years ago, a lot of information about the cult was obtained from the dying 'Joker' and the prisoner of the low-level cadre captured before.

Based on this, Aite sent secret agents to infiltrate the cult group and spread the information for a long time.Elena contacted Cotton and asked them to act as a relay for information and provide some help.

"After all, the other party is an evil witch, and we don't want to live in constant fear. We can still provide some simple help."

As the squad leader of the 'Bronze Sword'.Cotton had also been secretly investigating the cult before, and his cooperation with Elena and the others could be said to hit it off.

……

The three of them temporarily stayed in the Rhine City. They needed to obtain more information before deciding how to deal with it in the future.

The stronghold of the Bronze Sword was enough to accommodate them, and Lini stayed in the room without knowing what to do.Elena and Kalei ran to watch the mercenaries' daily training with great interest.

They don't always have big tasks to do, and spend most of their time training on their own in the city.

These mercenaries generally have good warrior abilities, but there is no doubt that few are particularly strong.

The only two 'armor' level warriors are Cotton, the captain of the branch, and young Ryan.

"I didn't expect you to be at the 'Armor' level. You were so good before."

Elena said jokingly that in fact, she could see that Ryan was really talented a few years ago, so it was not surprising that he could advance.

"How about it! I see that you also have martial arts skills. Do you want me to give you some pointers?"

When mentioning this, Ryan immediately seemed very proud. He was one of the few people in the mercenary group who could move freely.

"Well, are you sure you want to compete with me?"

Elena did not refuse immediately, but asked with a strange expression.

"Ahem, you are not allowed to use that witch's power! Let's fight as warriors!"

"OK!"

Ryan looked at her suspiciously, but he was an out-and-out genius in this area, and he also had his own arrogance to some extent.

The two came to the training ground of the stronghold and dismissed the others.

"Come on! Ladies first!"

Somewhat unsure of Elena's strength, Ryan simply stood still.

"Go ahead! Beat him up!"

Lini followed behind at some point and shouted support to Elena.

Similarly, Ka Lei also muttered:

"Why are you competing with Elena... This guy is so unlucky, why don't you do it more gently."

"What do you mean! I'm not a parallel import!"

Young Ryan noticed something was wrong and felt a strong uneasy feeling.

Volume 63, third coffin: [-]. Two choices

"I told you to strike first!"

"Oh, then I'm welcome."

Before Ryan could react, he only felt the wind blowing in front of him and a figure flashed.

A delicate fist accurately stopped in front of him.

The young Ryan started to move. He bent over and lay down to one side, then rolled away as he approached. The movements were extremely smooth...if Elena really hit her and her speed was comparable to him.

"What's going on with you?"

Ryan stuttered a little.Only when he turned around did he realize that Elena was standing there without moving at all. She was just putting on a frightened and embarrassed performance.

"Could it be that magic was used? Doesn't that mean..."

"No." Elena interrupted his conjecture and said with a smile:

"It's just pure warrior strength. I reached the 'Armor' level in more than half a year. These few years have not been in vain."

"What do you mean... No way!" Ryan couldn't believe it, he looked shocked:

"Is it possible that you have reached the peak of a warrior?"

"Guess~"

Even so, Elena directly threw out a powerful energy and carved a mark on the ground in front of Ryan across a distance of several meters.

"The release of 'qi' is indeed the peak of a warrior." Ryan saw the potholes at his feet. He was frightened and then went over to study it. He said with a bitter look on his face:

"I thought I was a genius, but I didn't expect you to be like this."

"I also have some special encounters..."

Elena explained that she was afraid of damaging the child's self-confidence. After all, he was somewhat of a lifesaver.
