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

Page 216

The three girls looked over there and saw that it was a dilapidated church of the Holy See. A cleric was walking over with a stern expression on his face.

"what to do……"

"How is this going?"

They were all a little confused and realized that something didn't seem right.

Volume 68, third coffin: [-]. The person behind the scenes

Facing the approaching priest, Elena felt like she had a cold sweat on her head.

Although this is a remote place, it is still a city after all. Once the identity of the witch is exposed, it will be impossible to escape.

Who knows how many official or even senior priests there are here. If you are unlucky enough to meet a bishop-level priest, you will be dead.

She had no idea that the passage on the other side of the cult's stronghold was not far from the church.Or rather, right in front of the courtyard behind the church.

"Hey! Where did you three come from!"

The priest obviously noticed something was wrong with the three of them. He strode over and held the cross dangling on his chest.

"Don't resist! Wait for me to test it with my divine power!"

"What should we do? Why don't we strike first...make him incapacitated and let us leave the city directly?"

"How about I lure him away..."

Lini and Ka Lei spoke at the same time. They stared at each other for a moment, and habitually turned their eyes to Elena.

Elena was also hesitant. As the priest approached, her whole body tensed up, and the energy in her body continued to surge.

What if we only rely on the strength of the warrior to defeat the opponent? No, normal warriors would not dare to attack the clergy, and a sudden attack would still attract attention.

However, if the priest really interrogates them, any magical spell will expose them. Holy light and magic are incompatible.

Suddenly, Elena noticed a guard wearing city defense uniforms approaching, and he quickly ran to the priest.

"Wait a minute, wait and see, it's a little strange."

Elena resisted the urge to take action, she felt that things seemed to be turning around.

The soldier stopped in front of the pastor. He said something to the pastor, and the two immediately started arguing.

Then, the priest looked over suspiciously, glared at the soldier again, and stood still.

The soldier came over and said calmly:

"You are suspected of intruding into church territory and are related to cults. You are being taken away and imprisoned now. Do not resist!"

When he got closer, he seemed surprised when he saw that the three people were girls, but he quickly went on to explain.

"Okay, we'll go with you."

Elena saw this man blinking as if to indicate something when he said, "Don't resist."She decided to go along with it for now.

In this way, the three of them made no resistance, their hands were locked with shackles, and they were not treated roughly in any other way, and they moved towards somewhere.

The priest looked a little unhappy and watched them leave, standing there without moving for a long time.

The city guard just now seemed to be a captain, escorted by several soldiers.They don't seem to be just patrolling the area.

Elena took note of the surrounding route while wondering who was behind these people.

But no matter who it is, as long as it doesn't conflict with the Holy See, it's a good thing.Anyway, the shackles on their hands couldn't stop them.

All the way to a temporary prison where prisoners were held, the three of them were locked in an empty cell with no one else around.

"Just stay still, and someone will naturally come to you later."

After the escorting soldier finished speaking, he left the cell. Elena noticed that the leading captain left in a hurry, probably to report.

The iron door was locked, and the cell door was also closed tightly, and the place suddenly became quiet.

"I really didn't expect that one day I would be in jail again."

Seeing the surrounding environment, Elena couldn't help but speak. She didn't want to remain silent.

"Yes, but we were really desperate at that time."

Ka Lei also sighed with a somewhat dazed expression.

Lini beside her knocked on the ground and suggested:

"How about we just escape like this? Use earth magic to dig a tunnel and just leave."

Lini seems a little eager to give it a try. Her third source of magic is the earth element.

"Let's see what the people behind you have in mind."

The person behind Elena's decision to control the soldiers probably had no ill intentions.Instead, he ran away like this. Who knows what the consequences would be.

The three of them just started chatting, until the door was opened again.

……

After completing today's training of the mercenary group, Ryan returned to his home for the rare occasion.This is a large villa located in the most prosperous aristocratic area.As soon as he entered the room, he asked the servant on the side:

"Where is my father?"

"Master, you are in the backyard, but someone seems to be talking to you now."

Ryan walked there carelessly, and then he saw someone stopped him.

"No one is allowed to come near without the owner's permission."

They were his father's personal guards. They had good warrior abilities, but they looked cold and unreasonable.

"Uncle Ying, can't I go there too?"

"Please don't embarrass me."

Ryan turned around and left with a very unhappy look, then turned around and disappeared from the sight of 'Uncle Shadow'.

Hey, you are careless.I am now an 'armor' level warrior.

With his excellent body skills, he deceived the guards. Ryan made it all the way to the back garden and found his father, Earl Rosen, in the pavilion. Opposite him sat a tall woman whose face was covered by a cloak.

Could it be her mistress——

Ryan used his secret technique and sneaked over carefully, but he heard part of the conversation.

"...Thank you for your help, the three of them are really——"

"It's all simple stuff, you're welcome."

Count Rosen is a somewhat stout middle-aged man, but his facial features are clear and regular, and he looks very good when he was young.He was dressed formally, with his waist straight and not as casual as usual.

He was a little confused, and the person opposite stopped talking halfway.However, after many years of aristocratic training, he did not mention it directly.

"Mr. Rosen, your son seems to be quite capable."

"Did he get into any trouble again?" Rosen asked with a serious look on his face, knowing that this was probably not a compliment.

"I don't know about that. How about asking him directly."

The cloaked woman stretched out her hand and pointed at a bush not far away, her consciousness obvious.

Count Rosen's face turned dark and he believed it without any doubt.He shouted there:

"Come out! What's wrong with you!"

The trees shook for a while, and Ryan came out with a dry smile and asked doubtfully:

"How was I discovered?"

He thought that the strength of his 'armor' level warrior would not be easily discovered if there were no equal or even stronger beings.

"Nonsense!" Count Rosen then scolded him, and then said cautiously:

"Ma'am, please don't argue with him. He didn't come here intentionally to investigate. He's just a naughty boy."

Ryan was shocked. He did not expect that his father would talk to people in a consultative and careful tone in his own territory and mansion. Could it be that he was a member of the royal family?

The woman in the cloak shook her head and didn't seem to care very much:

"He didn't hear anything. Just in time, I have to go and see those three."

Volume 69, third coffin: [-]. Meet again

The three of them stayed in the prison quite peacefully. The place was not too dirty and there were beds for resting.It's just that they are a little confused about the intentions of the people behind it.

"They are definitely not from the Holy See. If the cultists want to cause trouble, they can just stay in that stronghold."

Elena saw that the two of them were slightly uneasy, and calmly analyzed from the side:

"If he can control the city guards, he is probably a noble in the city, and he is not very afraid of the Holy See. He may be a big noble."

In fact, as long as they are not the Holy See or cultists, no force in the human realm can pose a threat to them.After all, they are all official witches, and at least a few strong men at the peak of martial arts are enough to see them.

"Elena, what did you feel before?"

After calming down, Ka Lei asked curiously, and Lini was also very interested in this.

"It's probably an ordinary person's death struggle..."

Elena's face looked a little uncomfortable when she thought of the scenes or memories revealed in the black mist.A few years ago, she would have never told them.

But they are no longer children now, so we can't always protect them.

So she began to speak briefly without describing too much.

"...and finally died in the stronghold we just saw. His obsession or hatred formed the substantial black mist."

"Was my mother like that before she died?"

Lini looked a little gloomy. Although she didn't show it much later, her family was broken up and she was abducted when she was young. These experiences had a great impact on her.

She subconsciously leaned towards Elena, lying next to her with her head resting on her thigh, her eyes a little blurry.

It's already happened now, and Elena can't say anything to comfort her.She gently straightened the girl's long hair and stroked her petite shoulders and back.

"They must pay the price!"

No family members of Kare's family died at that time, but her life at that time also became fragmented.Many neighbors and friends were also killed.

Originally, they never thought about revenge, but as their strength gradually grew, it no longer seemed impossible.

"However, I heard from Master that the blood witch reached the level of a great witch a few years ago, and I don't even know how strong she is now."

The ones above the high-ranking witches who are called 'rulers' are qualified to be called great witches, and the further they go, the more exaggerated the jump in strength becomes.

"But based on the available information, I also have a personal feeling... I always feel that they are not the same person."

Elena had seen Hilem during the 'Dominator' period. She was not in a good condition at the time and did not act too strong.But Elena always felt that she was not in the same style as the former Hilem.

The two discussed it for a while, but in the end they didn't come to any result.

Time gradually passed and it was almost afternoon.

"By the way, it's been a long time, hasn't it?"

Lini, who was squinting on Elena's lap, suddenly stood up, raised her head and asked doubtfully.

"I really slept for a long time. Fortunately, my legs are not numb."

Elena helplessly urged her to get up, and then replied:

"I thought the person behind it would come over soon or at least give me a hint. What's going on?"

Lini did not get up, but turned over to face Elena, looking at her steadily.

"what's wrong?"

"Nothing...just taking a look."

The girl's face was a little red, but she insisted on not looking away, which actually made Elena a little embarrassed.

"You are still like a child at such an old age. You are not shy."
