Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

After arriving at the direct jurisdiction of Shengyu City, Lin Yi discovered that there were many thieves and primitive natives roaming around.

Lin Yi killed at least dozens of thieves along the way, and encountered one or two gangs of thieves almost every few kilometers.

These thieves don't have the attitude of "this road is mine, please leave money for passage". They will not negotiate with the travelers at all. They will just kill them directly and then loot the property from the corpses.

When he reached the edge of Shengyu City, Lin Yi finally saw quite a few villages.

These villages all rely on animal husbandry as their main mode of production and management. The villagers seem to be extremely vigilant and have a strong xenophobia towards outsiders.

It was not until Toby Hubert showed the witch hunter's ring that the villagers were willing to let them stay overnight.

A large part of the residents in these villages had fled here from other cities on the Raven Star. They were naturally aware of the harm that witches could do, and they all believed in the witch hunters unconditionally from the bottom of their hearts.

After arriving here, Toby Hubert checked Charlene Sharp's body. After confirming that she was still under anesthesia, he ordered two slaves to drive the carriage to Holy Healing City.

Before long, a magnificent city wall came into view.

This city wall is a hundred meters high, and traces of fillings can be vaguely seen on the wall. Judging from the degree of damage, it is very likely that it was done by a witch.

Before entering the city, Lin Yi saw teams of patrolling soldiers. They were not wearing heavy armor, but more advanced and lighter scale armor.

Looking at the wall of Shengyu City from a distance, it feels like looking at a mountain, while looking up from a close distance it feels like a wall of the sky.

It is hard to imagine how, with the level of technology in this world, they built this wall that is a hundred meters high and more than twenty meters thick. In other words, this is not something that humans could have done.

As soon as Lin Yi approached the city gate, he heard a bustling crowd of voices.

After careful observation, he found that entering Shengyu City was much easier than he had imagined. He did not need to pay an entry fee, nor did he need to undergo tedious inspections.

The soldiers holding old-fashioned shotguns stood on both sides of the city gate. Their eyes were like hawks, scanning every civilian entering the city. Once they noticed any suspicious targets, these soldiers would immediately conduct further inspections.

"stop."

As soon as Lin Yi and his group arrived at the city gate, five soldiers armed with shotguns walked straight up to them.

Since the curtain of the carriage that Lin Yi and Toby Hubert were riding in was drawn, this situation naturally attracted the special attention of the patrolling soldiers.

"parking."

Lin Yi's voice came from inside the carriage, and the two slaves hurriedly stopped the carriage upon hearing the voice.

Although they heard a male voice coming from the carriage, the patrol members did not relax their vigilance at all.

A long time ago, there was an incident where a witch disguised herself as a man and sneaked into the Holy Healing City.

That incident caused extremely serious and immeasurable damage to the Holy Healing Church.

Since then, an additional rule has been added to the rules followed by patrol soldiers, that is, both men and women must be inspected when entering the city.

A soldier took out an egg-sized yellow crystal from his arms. Inside the crystal was a mercury-like fluid. The soldier brought the yellow crystal close to the carriage. In an instant, an obvious change occurred inside the yellow crystal, and its color quickly changed from yellow to red.

"Witch! Come out!"

After seeing the crystal change color, the surrounding soldiers moved in unison and pointed the muzzles of their shotguns at the carriage in front.

All of a sudden, the civilians who had gathered near Lin Yi's carriage immediately retreated, and in the blink of an eye, a large empty circle was formed around the carriage.

Lin Yi lifted the door curtain and motioned Toby Hubert to go out and explain.

The moment Toby Hubert came out, the tense mood of the patrolling soldiers relaxed a little.

It can be seen that these patrolling soldiers should have recognized Toby Hubert's identity.

"There's a newly captured witch in the carriage. Just send someone to check on her." Toby Hubert yawned as he spoke. It was obvious that he was already used to such things.

"excuse me."

The patrol team leader nodded, then hung the shotgun on his chest and came to the carriage.

There was only one woman in the carriage, Sharlene Sharp. The team leader walked forward and brought the yellow crystal close to Sharlene Sharp, and then found that the color of the crystal suddenly turned scarlet.

It was obvious that the woman in front of him was undoubtedly a witch.

However, the witch seemed unable to move her body. The team leader noticed that only Sharlene Sharp's eyes were still moving.

"Well, thanks to Lord Toby for the witch hunt, I'll let you go."

After the team leader got off the carriage and gave the order to release them, the other patrol soldiers put away their shotguns and continued to check the relevant situations of other people entering the city.

"Is this the case every day here?"

"It's like this every day. Every year, more than 500 witches are captured in Holy Healing City. On average, there is one witch captured every day. So you should understand."

Just as Toby Hubert was explaining to Lin Yi, an explosion suddenly occurred not far behind them.

"It's the witch! The witch is coming!"

A soldier with a panicked look on his face ran past the carriage in a hurry, carrying a shotgun.

Lin Yi lifted the curtain and looked behind him, only to see a huge avatar appear behind a woman not far behind the carriage.

The woman was wearing a gorgeous purple silk dress, a pair of exquisite white gloves on her hands, and a top hat on her head. At first glance, she looked like a noble lady.

At this moment, the face of this noble lady was like that of a hideous evil ghost. She was controlling the huge incarnation behind her and was slaughtering the civilians around her like crazy.

"Go to hell! All of you, go to hell!"

Seeing this scene, Lin Yi couldn't help but frown. Why did the witch do this?
"Don't bother thinking about it. Most witches are crazy. If they were sane, they wouldn't become witches. Do you want to take action or should I?"

Lin Yi heard Toby Hubert shaking his head, indicating that he should do it. With such a huge source of development, Lin Yi would not hand over the witch's head to Toby Hubert.

After jumping off the carriage, Lin Yi looked up and saw dozens of soldiers holding shotguns, shooting wildly at the witch's real body and the huge incarnation.

These shotguns do not fire conventional gunpowder bullets, but bullets mixed with diamond components.

Once the diamond enters the witch's blood, it will affect the witch's sensitivity in controlling the incarnation.

Lin Yi noticed that at this moment the witch was controlling her huge incarnation to stand in front of him, blocking all the diamond bullets that were shot at him.

At the moment when the other party used the avatar to block everyone's vision, Lin Yi paused and disappeared on the spot.

When Lin Yi appeared again, he had already arrived behind the witch.

The witch noticed something strange behind her. A ball of thick black energy began to condense behind her, and it seemed that she was preparing to launch a self-destructive attack from behind.

But Lin Yi didn't give the witch any chance at all. The black and white rose pierced directly into the energy node of the black energy ball, piercing the witch's body as well.

The witch couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and then she felt a strange force quickly rushing in from the wound. The energy pouring into her body seemed to have an extremely strong rejection reaction to the elemental force in her body.

In an instant, the surface of the witch's body began to explode continuously, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere like raindrops. The scene was very tragic.

These are all manifestations of the conflict between the elemental power and the power of the abyss inside the witch's body. Once the conflict between the two sides is too intense, it will trigger a series of small explosions inside the witch's body.

Within a second, the witch's body was blown into pieces, but even so, the witch still held on to the last bit of consciousness, trying to control her incarnation to kill Lin Yi.

But Lin Yi would not give her any chance. He raised his right foot and kicked the witch to the ground. Then he pulled out the black and white rose from the witch's chest and pierced the witch's brain with a sword.

After the witch's brain was damaged, the witch's incarnation began to dissipate, and finally only two fragments of the incarnation carrying the power of dark elements were left.

[Hint: You killed Russ Doris. ]

[Las Doris is a third-stage elemental black witch. You gain 1.0% of the Source of Exploration. Now you gain a total of 1.8% of the Source of Exploration. ]

[You obtain a treasure chest (legendary).]

[Tip: This treasure chest has received an additional bonus, and the treasure chest reward has increased by 100%. ]

"Thank you for your help, sir."

You have to know that this witch is a third-stage witch who can summon an incarnation. If a real fight breaks out, these soldiers are no match for this witch.

They were ready, prepared to use their lives to delay the witches' pace and wait for the arrival of support from the Holy Healing Church.

But no one expected Lin Yi to suddenly take action and take care of the witch in no time.

"Where's the witch? Where is the witch?"

Just as Lin Yi was returning to the carriage, an old man and a bearded man appeared at the city gate.

"It shouldn't have gone far. I can smell that disgusting odor hasn't dissipated yet."

The bearded man's nose twitched slightly, and then an excited smile appeared on his face.

For this group of witch hunters, hunting witches is even more exciting than visiting brothels.

"Okay, stop daydreaming and go back." The old man looked around and saw the remaining fragments of the incarnation on the ground. He realized that someone must have dealt with the witch who was causing trouble here.

At this moment, Lin Yi passed by the two men.

The old man and the bearded man froze at the same time. At the moment when Lin Yi passed by them, they felt as if a black hole had passed by them, instantly swallowing up all their perception.

When the two came to their senses, Lin Yi had already boarded the carriage and was heading towards Shengyu City.

"Interesting, it looks like the church will have another ruthless man." The old man looked at Lin Yi's back as his carriage gradually went away, with a meaningful smile on his face.

And in the team entering the city not far away, there was a woman who was quite eye-catching.

She was wearing a long off-shoulder dress, a pair of black gloves, and holding a thin pipe in her hand. Her long, wavy purple hair fluttered in the wind, but at this moment, cold sweat was pouring down her forehead.

She originally thought that the reputation of the Holy Healing Church was just exaggerated, but the scene just now shattered her fantasy.

My goodness, the elemental black witch who was able to summon her own incarnation was suppressed before she could even last half a minute. If she dared to act rashly, she would not be able to survive even ten seconds.

Thinking of this, the purple-haired woman began to think about leaving the team entering the city.

But after the attack just now, the number of city guards around increased a lot in an instant.

Once this purple-haired woman leaves the team entering the city without permission, she will immediately arouse the suspicion of the surrounding soldiers, which will be even more dangerous.

Holy Healing City, city center.

A horse-drawn carriage passed along the street, raising a cloud of dust.

Soon, the carriage stopped steadily next to a building that looked quite large.

Toby Hubert jumped off the carriage with Charlene Sharp, who was still anesthetized, in a nimble motion.

The two walked towards a magnificent building, which was the headquarters of the Holy Healing Church. Although it was magnificent, it was a bit old and it was obvious that it had been there for some time. Some parts of the outer wall had begun to weather.

The first floor of the Holy Healing Church is open to the public, and the areas above the first floor are only open to internal personnel.

On the wall on one side of the lobby, there is a thick wooden board with many wanted posters densely nailed on it. These wanted posters are in varying states of age, and some of the papers have turned slightly yellow, obviously having been posted for a long time.

Although the lobby is quite large with an area of ​​several hundred square meters, the furnishings inside are very simple.

On the inner side of the front of the lobby is the staircase leading to the second floor; on the left is the bulletin board; and on the right is the commission office, which is mainly responsible for receiving various types of information, bounty information and other related matters provided by civilians.

Behind the window of the commission office, there was a blonde girl sitting.

She always kept a sweet smile on her face, but judging from the fact that she would occasionally glance at the clock, it seemed that it was almost time for her to get off work.

When Lin Yi came to the window, the blonde girl stood up politely.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

The girl's voice was clear and polite, obviously she had received professional training.

"Submit the mission." Toby Hubert threw Charlene Sharp off his shoulder.

After Charlene Sharp uttered a muffled groan, many witch hunters in the hall turned their attention to her.

Feeling the malicious gazes around her, Charlene Sharp quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be dead.

"Live?"

"Live."

"Let me see, Sharlene Sharp, a second-stage black witch from the elemental system, has committed so many crimes. We can hand her over to the guys in the R&D department. I heard that they have recently developed some new drugs and are worried about the lack of some experimental materials." The blonde girl said as she walked quickly out from behind the counter, then squatted down, took a close look at Sharlene Sharp's appearance, and carefully compared it with the information in her hand.

You know, a living black witch is naturally more valuable to the Holy Healing Church.

If the Holy Healing Church wants to continue to grow and develop, it must develop various weapons and equipment against witches.

Among them, diamond bullets and witch ashes were items developed under such circumstances.

"Okay, the contribution points have been transferred to your account. Is there anything else?"

After the girl stood up, she looked at Lin Yi. She noticed that Lin Yi seemed to have the remaining aura of the witch.

"Please register me. I want to join the Holy Healing Church." Lin Yi threw Abe Joy's wanted poster and several avatar fragments obtained from the previous battle onto the counter.

"This is……"

The smile on the girl's face faded, and she touched the dark crystal piece with her fingers.

"The carrier after the incarnation is realized?"

As a civil servant of the Holy Healing Church, the girl also has multiple duties including front desk and customer service, so she naturally knows something about this kind of items.

"Where did you get it?"

"A witch was killed, and her avatar was shattered and left behind this thing."

After hearing Lin Yi's answer, the girl subconsciously looked at Toby Hubert, obviously wanting to confirm from him whether what Lin Yi said was true.

Toby Hubert nodded, indicating that what Lin Yi said was true.

"Please wait."

The girl picked up the cloth bag, stood up and walked into the wooden door behind her. Lin Yi waited for about 10 minutes, and the blonde girl and the old man came down the stairs from the second floor.

After seeing Lin Yi's appearance, the old man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he walked down steadily step by step with the help of a cane.

"Your Excellency, Councillor Saint, it is this gentleman..." the girl said respectfully to the old man.

"Got it." The old man responded briefly.

The old man in white robe had a severe hunchback. He came to Lin Yi with a cane.

"We meet again, young man."

The old man in white robe is named Carmen, and he is one of the twelve holy councilors of the Holy Healing Church.

The founders of the Holy Healing Church were indeed far-sighted. They carefully divided the power system of the Holy Healing Church into two important parts, namely the military department and the management department.

The military department is stationed at the headquarters of the Holy Healing Church, and all major decisions here are made by the Anglican Church.

There are twelve holy councilors in the Anglican Church, and this old man named Carmen is one of them.

These twelve holy councillors directly supervise all witch hunters, but to be honest, they don't have to worry too much about anything in daily life.

The only task of the witch hunter is to investigate and hunt those witches. Most of the time they are outside carrying out such tasks. As long as they can complete the task and bring back the results, they have met the basic requirements of the church for them.

The second power structure of the Holy Healing Church is the administrative department, which is the officials of the Holy Healing City. They are managed by the Pope, who is essentially the king.

Under the power structure of the Church of the Holy Healing, many aspects such as the army, finance, and officials at all levels are controlled by the Pope.

However, the Pope is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Anglican Church and witch hunters in any way.

Although the Pope is like a king in status, he does not have the power to order witch hunters to do anything. Only the Anglican Church has the power to assign witch hunters to perform various tasks.

The Pope is above a single Holy Senator, and the twelve Holy Senators can easily depose the Pope after gathering together. The Pope is elected by officials who are loved by the people.

Within the Holy Healing Church, the divisions of power, finance, royal authority, and the mystical side are clear.

Because of this, there is basically no intrigue among the witch hunters.

Each of them knew very well that one day they might die in battle while hunting witches. In that case, why bother fighting among themselves?

Don't think that witch hunters are kind. In fact, each of them has blood on their hands. They have experienced too much cruelty in the process of carrying out the task of hunting witches.

There are some extreme witch hunters who don't care about the lives of civilians at all when they are doing things. They only care about completing the task, and their style of doing things can be described as quite cold-blooded and ruthless.

"It's you."

Of course Lin Yi recognized Carmen. Just now at the city gate, Lin Yi passed by Carmen, but Lin Yi didn't pay attention to Carmen at that time.

"I haven't thanked you for helping me at the city gate yet. Since you are willing to join the Holy Healing Church, we naturally warmly welcome you to join. Shirley, go through the formalities for him."

"Mr. Saint Councillor, this process has not yet..." Shirley looked embarrassed, as if she wanted to say something.

"The process is designed for ordinary people. This gentleman cannot be a lackey of the witch. It is enough for me to know this in my heart." Carmen waved her hand and interrupted Shirley with a firm tone.

Hearing Carmen's words, Shirley could only nod helplessly, then took out a piece of paper from the side, which was filled with a bunch of forms printed on it.

After Lin Yi filled out the form, he handed it to Shirley. Shirley ignored the doctor's name, which was obviously a code name, and followed the normal procedures to complete Lin Yi's application for membership. (End of this chapter)
