So I became a witch

In addition, there are some currency-like things inside the ball. It is said that they were coins issued during the Star Dynasty. The materials used are hard currency no matter which world they are in. , can be exchanged for considerable wealth.I didn't expect Xia Luohua to be so considerate for me. If it wasn't because of an accident, the things inside would be enough for me to live for a long time.Although in the end I had to be reduced to beating little monsters for a living, if I didn't happen to meet Li Ye, I would probably have to wander for a while.

(Continue to post two updates in a row, currently owed chapter: 7, there are 4 days left in this month, I think there is great hope 233)

Chapter 55 Conjecture

After confirming the items in the ball, I went back to Liye's room.Sith seemed to have recovered from the heat dizziness, and Liye was sitting next to her, looking like she was thinking about something.

"Yo, how do you feel?" I said hello.

"Ah, that... I want to go. It's not because of my father or my sister, but because of myself." Li Ye said firmly, the confusion in her eyes no longer appeared.

"Hey, isn't that nice?" I said with a smile.

"But if that's the case, I feel that it's too much trouble for you..." Li Ye said hesitantly.

"That kind of thing doesn't matter. It's better to say that we are still bothering you. After all, you have lost your memory. If you can see more, you may be able to remember something."

"...Is that so?" Li Ye smiled wordlessly.Even though we've just met for a while, this kid is unexpectedly strong, or is everyone here like this?

"Ah, actually, there is a place I hope you can go with me." She said as if she suddenly remembered something.

"It doesn't matter to me, after all, idleness is idleness, but Sith's words... Well, you'd better lie down for a while, is it okay?" I looked at Liye and said.

"Well, it's okay, after all, the room is quite big." Li Ye replied with a smile.

When we went down the stairs again, we found that the number of customers in the tavern was much less than before.It was clear that the time was approaching noon, but there were quite a few people eating.

"It can't be helped, after all, it's still in prime time." Li Ye explained.

"Golden time."

"It is the period from morning to noon, and from afternoon to evening. Because the sun is hot, many beasts will hide in their caves and will not come out, and this period of time is the safest for new scavengers. Although it is very hot, it is nothing compared to the safety of life. In addition, the night time is the most dangerous, because many terrifying monsters lurking in the depths of the desert will come out for a walk in the dark, and there are many A-level and even S-level monsters. Super terrifying beasts, for scavengers, encountering them is equivalent to encountering death."

"But when we met, didn't you also go out at night?" I said.

"There are various reasons for this." Li Ye smiled dryly and looked away, "In short, it is very dangerous. Ah, but it should not be a big deal to Luo Tianchen, after all, only by You walked out of that desert of death alone, you must have been a very famous and powerful dragon knight before you lost your memory."

"Well... who knows..." Feeling Li Ye's reverent gaze, it was my turn to look away in embarrassment this time.At this time, it would be a bit too much to tell her that it was actually a lie and it was just a disguised identity.For the time being, let's keep this secret.However, when it comes to the ability to control the dragon knight, I am confident that I will not lose to anyone.It’s like two people fighting a gun in an FPS game. One side’s delay is 100ms, and the other’s delay is only 10ms. Naturally, the side with the lower delay has a greater advantage; or with different computer configurations, one side only has 30fps, while the other side has With 144fps, the side with a high frame rate also has an advantage; the higher the adaptability, the more able to play the function of the dragon knight. As me standing on the top of the holy soul, the adaptability cannot be so low .Furthermore, if an ordinary person suddenly possesses power far beyond normal, it will take a lot of time to get used to it, but for me, it is only this level of effort, which can be said to be a daily state, except for the change in height , everything else is the same as the original.

"Speaking of which, what exactly are the beasts you've been talking about just now? Are they the ones I met before?" I asked as I walked beside Liye.

"Hey, don't you know? Ah, it's because of amnesia, right? That's about it. It is said that those beasts were originally native animals on this planet, but after the first cataclysm, they were killed by some terrible After being eroded by the virus, it turned into the appearance covered with black crystals all over the body, and its size became hundreds of times larger. There are seven grades of beasts: F, E, D, C, B, A, and S. F is a harmless level, E will pose a threat to people from the beginning, D and C must be dealt with by a group, and beasts above B are disaster levels. It is said that there are higher levels above S, but We don't know."

"So that's it, then what level is the giant sandworm we met before?" I asked curiously.

Li Ye hesitated for a while and said: "I'm not sure about the specifics. Originally, sandworms were only F-level harmless creatures. That kind of giant sandworm must have lived near the energy mine for many years. It’s a mutant. According to the size of the body, it should be at least A+, or even S.”

"Hey, so it's A or S?" I nodded thoughtfully.This combination of void energy and ordinary creatures reminded me of many bad things.Behind a series of events, such as the witch game, the death art incident, and the attack on the Alfred family, are all due to the effect of some kind of potion.That mysterious potion can turn people into a kind of imaginary beast - "Xu Yan". The reason why I became like this in this world seems to be affected by this mysterious potion.Now that I think about it, how similar is the existence of the monster named "Beast" I encountered to "Xuyan"?Could it be that this world is also polluted by the second witch?

I felt a chill at first, then shook my head and rejected the idea.Although "beast" and "xuyan" are indeed very similar, they are both existences between creatures and virtual beasts, but there are essential differences between the two.Rather than saying that "Beast" and "Xu Yan" are the same creature, it is better to say that "Xu Yan" is more like an improved product of "Beast".Of course, this is just my intuition. Before everything comes to light, it's not easy to draw conclusions.But no matter what, there is definitely an inevitable connection between this world and the witch.Whether it is the fourth witch or the second witch, they are not the ones I can deal with now. I must integrate into this world as much as possible without revealing my identity in order to obtain more relevant information.

"Well. Although Luo Tianchen may not understand it, high-level beasts are really scary, so absolutely, absolutely, you can't underestimate them." Li Ye patted her chest and said, as if she was still in a state of fear.

Chapter 56 The Black Market

"...Well, I see." I said.As for how much I accepted, only I know.

The beast that runs rampant in the world, the dragon knight who fights against the herd; the witch in the prophecy, and the descendant of Star Clan.There are more hidden mysteries in this world than I imagined.

"Ah, we're here." Under the leadership of Li Ye, we came to the other side of the town. Unlike the previous business district full of shops, the streets here are much narrower and darker, and there is an unpleasant smell in the air. The smell was like blood that hadn't been cleaned up for a long time, and the breath was scattered by the flames.

"Here?" I asked.

"The black market is a place where only some experienced scavengers will come. Also, please follow me closely, it will be bad if you get lost here." Liye warned seriously.

"Well, I can see it." I glanced at a few ragged figures crouching in the darkness, looking at us maliciously. It seems that no matter which world we are in, there are places and people like this. ah.

It was clearly broad daylight, and there were obviously fewer people here than outside. The buildings on both sides of the road seemed to have not been repaired for a long time, as if they had experienced the baptism of hundreds of years. A few figures were hiding under the rotten boards, seemingly sleeping.

"The tavern we were in just now is actually a relatively high-end place. Generally, homeless people or criminals without money will hide in this dark alley. Because it is a building left over from the town, no one will manage it. "Liye lowered her voice and said to me.

"It's kind of like a slum, I understand. So what's the purpose of coming here?" I asked.

"Well, because this place will not be monitored by the federal government, some black market merchants often choose to set up shops in similar places. Although the price is extremely expensive, they can indeed get a lot of good goods, even those that are not in circulation in the market Military supplies. At the same time, it is also responsible for selling the items obtained by the scavengers, such as the mechanical components of the Dragon Knight. A lot of money." Li Ye patiently explained to me.

"Well, that's why it's called a black market..."

While we were chatting, a man dressed in black walked up to us slowly.Behind him were a few children in ragged clothes, who could barely cover the important parts, and were only about six or seven years old.Because the body is too thin, it is difficult to distinguish their gender.The children's hands were all wearing a pair of handcuffs as if they were escorting a prisoner, and one end of the chains connected together was tightly held by the man in black.

"that is……"

"It's a slave trader." Li Ye said in a low voice with a hint of disgust in the depths of her eyes.

"Are those children slaves? Where did they come from?"

"Who knows... some are babies who lost their parents in the catastrophe, some are from nearby orphanages, some were sold by their own parents, and some were sold themselves to slave traders."

"Sell yourself?"

"Most of them are guys who don't have enough to eat. Instead of starving to death, staying under the hands of slave traders, at least there is still a chance of life."

Obviously technology has advanced, but civilization is actually going backwards.

"Those slaves... children, what will they do?"

"Variety, such as being sent to the mining area to mine, or serving as a waiter. If you look good, there are slaves and the like... No matter what, it will always be useful."

"..."

Regardless of whether it is the world of Tia or here, as long as it is an area that has been eroded by witches, life is indeed quite difficult.What kind of existence are the witches in the prophecy?Since it is not impossible to communicate, then why destroy the world.

Totally, incomprehensible.

After meeting all kinds of people and looks, we reached the end of this dark street.Among the dilapidated houses stood a classic black mansion surrounded by iron bars, which looked like the residence of the legendary vampire. Just standing at the door gave people a gloomy feeling.

Li Ye swallowed, and seemed a little nervous.It seems that facing the owner of this mansion is a lot of pressure even for her.

"Hello, we are here to find Mr. Qiao Sen." Li Ye rang the doorbell and said to the pager.

After a while, the iron bars at the door slowly opened.The man dressed like a butler nodded slightly at us with a blank face, and walked in front without saying a word.Li Ye hurriedly followed, and I followed her example, following closely behind.

The door behind me closed automatically. Taking this opportunity, I curiously looked at the inside of the mansion.In the four flower fields divided by the cross-shaped path, there are unknown red flowers planted, which are probably unique products in this world.In each flower field, there are several small robots that look like Android logos carrying water bottles and scissors back and forth, repeating the same path, probably looking like they are taking care of the flower fields.There is also a fountain pool in the center of the cross, and a majestic female sculpture is placed in the pool water, with a raised long sword pointing straight ahead.In addition, there are some colorful butterflies or birds flying back and forth in the trees and gardens, but they never leave the area of ​​the iron fence, as if there is an invisible barrier that covers the entire area of ​​the mansion same.

It was like a living grave.

"Mr. Qiao Sen's words are inside." After leading us to the door of the mansion, the butler finally spoke. His hoarse voice startled me.After speaking, he turned and left directly.Li Ye and I looked at each other, she gritted her teeth, and put her hand on the door as if she had summoned up a lot of courage in her heart.

The door swung open.Under the colorful lights, the masked man tapped on Erlang's legs, holding a goblet of red wine in his hand, leaning on the sofa naturally and comfortably.

"Oh ho ho ho, look who is here? What kind of surprise will you bring me this time, my old man?" The man said kindly, his voice seemed to have some kind of special magnetism.Behind him, the beautiful maids stood motionless on both sides, just like the previous butler, like two living corpses.

"Excuse me, Mr. Qiao Sen. This visit is about the recently reported large-scale energy mine." Liye swallowed, pretending to be calm and said.

Chapter 57 Johnson

"Oh, it's that one. I heard it was quite tragic. So, do you have any news for me?" The man said with a smile on his face. Under the mask that only covered the upper half of his face, there seemed to be something terrible hidden. s things.

"Yes, yes! Actually, I found the exact location of the energy mine, as well as some other information."

"That's really amazing! So, is there anything to prove?" The man leaned forward, clasped his hands in front of his legs and said.

"Well, this is what I collected from it, because time is urgent, so I only have these... But, it should be fine." Li Ye carefully placed the glass bottle containing the energy ore on the table, and then returned to its original position.Under the illumination of the light, the ore emitted a mysterious black light.

"This is it!" The man who had been sitting just now seemed unable to suppress his inner excitement after seeing the black light, and sat up from the sofa.He carefully raised the glass bottle and observed it repeatedly under the light. After a long time, he showed a satisfied smile, "You can't be wrong, this is the ore that can only be produced in large-scale energy mines, quite, quite It's rare."

"Yes, it would be fine if it satisfies you." Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief, obviously, she had been afraid of that man since just now.

"Very good, very good, as expected of the person I like. So, what do you want? Wealth? Weapons? Rights? For example, how about replacing the Spike?" The man said confidently, as if the world For him, it is just a game, as long as he moves his fingers, he can overturn the sky.

"No! I don't expect that. Actually..." Liye took a deep breath, as if mustering up a lot of courage, and said slowly, "I want to apply to leave here."

"Leave? You mean to leave?" The man's voice suddenly dropped to freezing point. He, who was still smiling just now, changed his face in an instant. "Do you want to escape from here, from my side?"

"No, it's not!" Li Ye subconsciously denied, "I just want to see my sister... and do what I want to do."

"You? You actually said, what you want to do?" The man laughed loudly, as if he had heard some extremely ridiculous joke, "How do you think you have survived to this day? Do you think it can end like this? "

"But, but! It's enough to pay off!"

"...Is that so, you think so." The man buried his head deeply, and pressed his outstretched fingers tightly on his face, "I am very sad."

"!!!" Li Ye took a step back unconsciously, her face also turned pale.

Although I'm afraid of getting her into trouble, but in this case, I have no choice but to stand up.

I stepped forward to stand in front of Liye, and met the man's gaze: "Although I don't know what happened between you two in the past, and I don't know what Liye owes you. However, the energy she said just now The matter of the mine has something to do with me, too."

"... Huh? Where did you come from, kid?" the man said coldly, without feeling the smile from the first time he saw him.

"It's not a fluke. The vicinity of the so-called energy mine is guarded by mutated beasts, so other people who approached it were killed."

"...Hmph, so you want to say, is it possible that the person standing in front of me is a ghost?" The man sneered.

"Because the beast died." I said frankly, "I killed it with my own hands."

The man let out a burst of laughter: "You? You actually said you? Do you think..."

His laughter suddenly stopped, and his expression seemed to be frozen at that moment by time.No one knew what happened to him, and silence spread throughout the mansion like a plague.After a long while, the man finally spoke again, with slightly trembling lips opening and closing: "I understand. I will send someone to investigate the news about the large-scale energy mine. As for the reward, it will be transferred to your account."

His expression is calm like a dead person, just like the housekeeper and maid we saw before, as if the previous madness and anger were just illusions, and he is real like a robot.

"That..." Li Ye seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by him waving his hand.

"Get out of here, this is an order."

As a result, we left the mansion without incident.

"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly..." Li Ye muttered to herself.

"What happened to that person just now?" I asked.

Li Ye sighed heavily, her expression still lingering: "That is the master behind the entire town of Sly, it is said that he has a very close relationship with the military and Yemeng, one of the three big chaebols, he is moody, no one Having seen his true face, no one can guess what he is thinking. The prerequisite for surviving here is to absolutely not disobey that person."

"Did anything happen between you and him, Liye?" Liye hesitated for a moment, but still told me, "It was the year my father passed away. In order to continue to help my sister go to school, I couldn't borrow money from him. A sum of money."

"Hey, that's how it is."

"But that was just the beginning, and then the debt continued to expand, to the point where I was almost unable to repay it... But fortunately, I got the specific news and location of the energy mine this time, which should be enough to repay the debt. But I didn't What I thought was that he would let me go so easily." Li Ye murmured.

"It's only natural to pay off debts. Since you've paid off your debts, you have nothing to do with him, right?" I said.

Li Ye shook her head: "The money I owe is actually just a drop in the bucket to him. What he really wants is not money, but something else..."

She didn't go on, but I could see what she meant.

"Is that why you haven't left this town? But why did you suddenly agree this time?"

Li Ye suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, and bowed to me: "Sorry!"

"Ok?"

"I'm sorry, I used you! Even if it was Qiao Sen, it wouldn't be against a dragon knight driver, so I just wanted to use your identity... I'm so sorry!"

"Well, it doesn't matter to me, after all, I was the one who urged you to leave here in the first place. If that's the case, I naturally have the responsibility to participate in it." I replied with a smile, I don't mind Lie using me. Unexpectedly, it would be better to say that I am more happy to see this kind of way of taking what is needed, and it is always much better than unknowingly owed favors, "What's more, I didn't do anything Right?"

Chapter 58 Negotiation

"Ah, no... well, it's great that nothing happened in the end." Liye let out a long sigh of relief, as if she finally got rid of some heavy burden, and her steps became brisk.

Yeah, it's great that nothing happened.

I silently looked back at the mansion that seemed to be the residence of the dead.It's only a little bit away, and I'm about to summon the Dragon Knight.At its speed, it doesn't even take 0.1 second to come to my side.For ordinary drivers, it is necessary to wear a special combat suit and sit in the driver's seat to improve the adaptability to the dragon knight, but for me, I don't even need to drive, as long as I stand in place , can control it to a certain extent, which is why I am not afraid to be with Liye.It's really great that the other party can understand my hint at the end.Otherwise, once we fight, I can't guarantee whether this small town will survive in the end.

"Where is the terrible man?" I whispered to myself.

"Is that right? After all, Mr. Qiao Sen has always been so moody. He might be smiling one second, but he can cut off the opponent's head the next second."

"I'm not talking about that man, but another guy."

"……Hey?"

I did not continue to answer.At least within the range that the Void Eye can see, there is a Dragon Knight on standby. Although I don't know the strength of the driver, it can be seen from the fact that I can notice that I am watching him. Definitely not an idle person.No wonder he was able to gain a foothold in such a mixed area. Mr. Qiao Sen did have a capital he could be proud of.

However, since the other party has no intention of sticking with each other, I don't want to continue entanglement.After all, after Liye plans to leave this small town, Sith and I will naturally follow her, while silently recuperating, while collecting more information about the world.As for what he wants to do next, it has nothing to do with me.

"Next, we have to prepare some supplies for the trip, as well as food and so on... By the way, Luo Tianchen, do you want to come together too?"

"Well, after all, I have nothing to do now. Rather than running around like a headless chicken, it is more convenient to move with people I know. Besides, you are going to find your own sister? Since She goes to the school that trains dragon knights, so after going there, maybe I can think of more things." I said pretending to be relaxed.

"Yes, it would be great if I could recall."
