I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

Its pointer was slowly moving one step clockwise. At the same time, the name "Ximen" appeared on the stone brick next to it, seemingly indicating his status as the First Apostle.

"Follow me, Simon, and on the day of judgment, the world will remember your name."

The doctor's appearance has changed.

A pair of jet-black wings reappeared behind him.

Simon reappeared in everyone's sight.

His body remained the same, without any terrible changes, but a halo appeared behind his head...

"That thing...that doctor...turned him into a Sarkaz!"

Jaden was shocked.

During the day, he pressed down on his shoulders and used physical means to calm him down.

The situation outside is not over yet.

“I will follow you forever, my benefactor.”

Simon seemed extremely satisfied with his current state.

"The other villagers didn't even raise any doubts or questions..."

Jetton was puzzled.

Are these villagers too narrow-minded? That's a halo! That's a halo that Rupert doesn't have!

The villagers even offered their blessings to Simon, who was chosen by the doctor.

The doctor and Simon left the village amidst the villagers' reluctance and blessings.

Until they were out of sight, Jaden looked at the daylight with a bewildered expression.

"Boss, this guy... is really... strange and scary."

"This world has never lacked people like this. Haven't you seen or heard of anything in Kazdel?"

"No, that's not it. I've heard of them, but the strangest ones I've ever seen are just blood demons that suck blood. This doctor is much more terrifying than those blood demons."

Seeing that Jetton's behavior was relatively normal, Bai Zhou temporarily put aside the idea of ​​getting rid of him.

The tools that aren't broken are still usable, albeit barely.

"We should go."

I stopped thinking about the doctor during the day.

The other party has left, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, there will be no further contact with him for the time being.

Moreover, instead of thinking about what a strange doctor with an unknown background is like, we should think about what to do after finding Kal'tsit.

“Film…”

Perhaps we could use the royal catnip from the Great Yan Dynasty to win her over?

"Boss, I've found the car."

Jaden, who had gone out to communicate with the villagers, returned, with Rams following him, dragging a cart.

But there was only one car.

"Where are the pack animals pulling the cart?"

There's only a cart, but no one to pull it. Does that mean they want Rams to pull the cart?

"Uh... well, they don't deliver to those places, boss."

He glanced at the outstretched hand reaching out to him, then turned his head to whistle at Jetton, tossing him two red gold bars in the daytime.

"Sigh, I'll go buy the pack animals right away!"

Jetton ran off with the money, while Bai Zhou continued to ponder how to win over "the ageless Kal'tsit".

■

"That's enough, Bush."

The traveler in black robes bid farewell to the leader of the caravan.

"Although I don't know why you chose to land here, I still have to warn you, Kal'tsit."

The caravan was led by an elderly Rupert.

He looked at the traveler before him, whose face was covered by a veil, and solemnly warned him:

"This wretched town has already killed more than a dozen well-known bounty hunters. None of the families in Syracuse dare to touch this place. I heard from an old friend that there are man-eating wolf monsters here... a lot of them, and no matter what method you use, you can't kill them... Anyway, after knowing you for so many years... I hope to see you again next time."

"Will do."

Fearing the unknown, the caravan quickly left. Once again alone, the traveler turned to look at the distant town shrouded in mist.

A faint chime could be heard from inside, seemingly welcoming the guests.

Without hesitation, the traveler embarked on the road into the town.

"..."

"Boss, I think we're putting too much pressure on this kid?"

Jaden looked at the beast covered by that strange, gilded object and shrank back in fear.

This pack animal has been running day and night for two days and is still running hard. Not to mention food, Jaden hasn't seen it poop at all.

"You underestimate the power of arcane energy; you're just a fire-breathing lizard."

"AoNeng will enhance its life and change the way it exists. It is already more advanced than you."

Tian Sha's voice rang out, and Jeton, who was being mocked, silently shut his mouth.

After spending several days together, coupled with their undisguised actions during the day, they became aware of the existence of Tian Sha.

Despite knowing this, Jetton still couldn't understand the concept of the Sky Fiend.

A weapon with its own thoughts... and Bai Zhou wears it without any hesitation... especially someone who constantly mocks others.

The boss also said that the doctor was strange, and that he himself wasn't exactly normal either.

"No need to worry, once I find the person I'm looking for, I'll let it leave in peace. After all, it helped us so diligently."

Hey! Boss, don't say such terrible things with such a calm expression!

Jaden suddenly felt that the four pieces of red gold in his bag were a little hot to the touch.

If this boss is going to squeeze every last penny out of even a pack animal, then those who are even more useful than the pack animal must be in even worse shape...

"Did you see that?"

Bai Zhou suddenly spoke up to ask.

"Huh? What?"

Jaden paused for a moment, then Rams behind him grabbed his head and lifted it up.

"Hey! There's a town ahead! Boss, shall we rest there?"

After sitting on the wooden cart for two days, Jaden felt he needed to find a place to relieve himself quickly.

"There's something wrong with that town... Be careful."

After subduing the pack animals, the group got off the vehicle. Jaden hurriedly ran to the side to deal with the problem, while Rams, carrying large and small bags, stood guard beside the vehicle, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.

"Fog...is that fog or...?"

Even in broad daylight, the strange mist that permeated the entire town could be seen from afar. The whole town resembled a moldy pastry, with white spots covering every visible building.

“Inside, there’s a lot of… grime… from the O-energy.”

The fact that everything Tian Sha liked and disliked was gathered together made it very uncomfortable.

"Speaking of which... I think I've heard of this place before."

Jaden returned, patting his clothes as he quickly resolved the problem.

"Many mercenaries seem to have been here before."

"Hmm, maybe we should call those guys bounty hunters."

Jetton promptly retrieved his equipment.

If you encounter a situation where you don't know the details, run if you can, and if you can't run, use your trump card to fight back directly.

This is the most basic understanding for a mercenary.

You only have one life; if you lose it, you can only blame yourself.

"Tell me about it?"

It's time for Bai Ri's favorite part of the day – listening to stories.

"It is said that one night a few years ago, two moons appeared in the sky, but for some reason, only the red moon showed its face, while the white moon was covered by thick clouds."

"Most people in the town were already asleep, with only a few night watchmen and street cleaners still on the streets."

Suddenly! A mournful wolf howl came from afar. It wasn't the howl of a wild beast, but the cry that only Luper could make. The cry was incredibly mournful and painful.

"But it only lasted a moment. The night watchmen heard one howl and then there was no more. Sensing something was wrong, they gathered together and went to the town's guards to investigate the source of the howl."

"It was under a bridge..."

They found it by following the river water that was dyed red with a strange color.

The night watchman, holding a lantern, slowly approached the bridge pier where the light was starting to dim.

He was so frightened that he fainted.

Some of the people traveling with us couldn't bear the horrific scene and vomited uncontrollably.

Someone crouched on the ground, holding their head and making pitiful whimpering sounds.

what is that?

What did they see?

“Some bold people carried lanterns to shine a light, and everyone saw... the rotten flesh embedded in the bricks.”

Like a smashed cake, the bread dough lay sprawled on the brick wall, red cream splattered all over the floor, and the pale white candle, along with the cream, shattered into pieces and remained on the dough.
