After the two of them left the city, the old guard standing guard on the other side whispered, "Do you like it?"
Philip's old face flushed as he raised his index finger to his lips, signaling him to speak in a lower voice.
"Haha, it's nothing. Helen from 33rd Street is popular with many young people. After all, she's pretty." The old guard said with a smile, "If you work hard, you might still have a chance."
"What qualifications do I have?" Philip said, lowering his head. "I heard that Master Leo of the Ares family also likes Helen."
"Well, when it comes to love, it's all about mutual consent," said the old guard with a smile.
……
Out of the city, away from the hustle and bustle, Helen and Natalie found themselves on the country road outside the city, sitting in a farmer's carriage returning home late from the busy farming season.
In the fields, the farmer's figure gradually disappeared into the twilight, leaving only a series of heavy footsteps, moving farther and farther away in the mud.
In the distant pasture, the cattle and sheep have long returned to the pens. Occasionally, the calls of shepherds can be heard, but they seem to be swallowed up by the tranquility, becoming distant and vague.
The air was filled with the fragrance of the fields, mixed with the faint scent of grass and soil. One or two bird calls broke the silence, but were quickly surrounded by the tranquility around, as if they had never sounded.
This is the west side of Constantinople, which is the main route to the European continent.
The land here is fertile and suitable for planting, and it is also the throat of Constantinople.
Once they are strangled, they will be like chickens and ducks waiting to be slaughtered, waiting for the Eastern goblin's scimitar to swing down!
"It's so beautiful~" Helen looked up and found that this place was different from the city with serious light pollution in her previous life. The stars were twinkling, inlaid like gems in the gradually deepening night, making people feel a long-lost sense of peace.
It’s even more beautiful than the sky in the game.
"Sister Helen, what are you holding in your hand?"
Sitting in the cheap wooden carriage, Natalie looked at the sack in Helen's hand with confusion.
Helen lifted the sack in her hand and said, "It's full of guns and bullets."
Natalie: …
"Before we go to your house, let's practice shooting in an empty space. Don't worry, I brought a kerosene lamp." Helen said seriously.
"Practice, practice shooting?" Natalie suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
Helen nodded. "Yes, after all, we are going to be in actual combat. Let's sharpen our shooting skills."
Natalie's legs were shaking. "Excuse me, Sister Helen, have you ever... fired a gun before?"
"No, but I'll practice tonight and I'll be fine, right?" Helen said with a look of tape on her face. "Don't worry, it's okay."
Natalie's eyes welled up with tears. "Sister Helen, don't lie to me. We're going to encounter those things soon!"
"But I have never practiced it. But it doesn't matter. I still have you." Helen patted the other person's shoulder, and her heart was full of expectations for this future 4th-level Frost Witch.
Natalie wasn't as magnanimous as Helen. She looked like she was about to cry and said, "But Sister Helen...are we the only two going to deal with the demon? Can we apply for the church's inquisition?"
Helen shook her head. "I guess the church's inquisition will judge us first before dealing with the demons."
Natalie's eyes widened as she asked why.
Helen just smiled and briefly explained the reason to Natalie.
The Church Inquisition is an institution that arrests, detains, and deals with extraordinary people, mainly targeting extraordinary people who are unregistered or have committed crimes.
Although it is their duty to capture and deal with blasphemous supernatural beings, if the news of "demons appearing in Constantinople" leaks out, everyone from top to bottom will be implicated.
"That means I... If I successfully call the police, will I spend the rest of my life in prison?" Natalie was stunned.
Helen nodded.
"Then why did you help me? You were obviously with the security guard there... I see." Natalie said, her expression becoming dejected. "I'm sorry, Sister Helen, I've implicated you."
When she told Helen about the devil in person, she had already dragged the other party into the water.
She finally understood why the guards and even the villagers near the farm didn't believe her.
The news that "the devil appeared in Constantinople" was enough to shake the church's foundation in the empire and make the Holy Light Church in Rome a laughing stock.
Whether it is true or false, it will eventually be confirmed to be false.
"It's okay. After all, this is our jurisdiction and it's our responsibility to handle it." Helen comforted with a smile.
Because 33rd Street is close to the exit of the city wall, the church on 33rd Street also serves as the headquarters of the small church outside the city. Therefore, it was correct for Natalie to find the 33rd Street Church.
Because the people in charge of the small churches in the countryside are basically monks and nuns from the 33rd Block who go to the countryside to lead local believers in prayer on weekdays and weekends, and they have no armed forces at all.
Only the 2rd Street Church was armed, with one 1nd-level monk in charge and three st-level monks.
"Two little nuns, Gray Farm is just ahead. Don't fall asleep."
At this moment, the farmer driving the carriage in front lifted the curtain and shouted to Helen and Natalie who were huddled together with the grain inside.
"Thank you, uncle. Let's get off here." Helen smiled at the farmer.
The farmer was surprised. "Ah? But there is still some distance. This is a wilderness."
Helen smiled and said, "Thank you for troubling me, uncle. I want to pray with another nun for the rest of the journey."
When the farmer heard the word "prayer," he realized he could not ask any more questions, so he stopped the carriage and asked the two nuns to get out.
"Are you Sister Helen from Thirty-third Street? Be careful these days and go back to the city early."
After Helen and Natalie got off the car, the farmer suddenly said something.
Helen asked quickly: "What happened?"
"I don't know why, but yesterday, a large number of refugees arrived in the wastelands, towns, and villages outside the city. They were of all races, even people from the Far East. They had no discipline and were causing trouble in groups of three or five," the farmer said in fear. "They were speaking a strange language, and it's already spread to our area. Sister Helen, please be careful!"
Chapter 5: Women only affect the speed at which I accept tasks
On a patch of grass in the wilderness, a thin and frail man in black was walking.
“This holographic game is so real!”
[Levi] Looking at the clothes on his body and the texture of his palms, it is hard to doubt that this is a game.
It's very real, just like being in a different world.
The game company behind "Magic and Guns" is probably not simple. Its technology is simply epoch-making, which has made a certain Starry Sky game lose face.
As a small game anchor, he is satisfied with this epoch-making game. It does not look like a game from 2050, but more like a game from the 22nd century.
It was too advanced and too real for people to tell the difference. If he couldn't see his own panel, he would have thought he had traveled through time.
He even imitated the fragrance of the grass, so the moment the game was launched, he joined and started preparing to level up.
Because he is not a beta tester, he can only train every minute.
However, he soon discovered that training did not increase his level, but only improved his weapon proficiency.
Later he learned that the so-called level refers to extraordinary power, and to obtain extraordinary power, one needs to obtain extraordinary seeds.
To obtain seeds, you have to complete tasks, and they must be certain special tasks, or go to dungeons.
But now is the pioneering period, where can I find a copy?
"Boss, do you want to form a team?"
Just when he was confused, a voice came into his ears.
"Who?"
Levi turned around, raised the rusty black iron knife in his hand, and pointed it in the direction where the sound came from.
He saw a man and a woman raising their hands in front of him. The man and woman had typical Far Eastern appearance and were obviously domestic players like him.
In this kind of global game, communication between players around the world is automatically translated, so he was not surprised when he heard Chinese. Only when he saw the appearance did he feel a little relieved.
"I rarely meet my compatriots." Levi put down the sword in his hand.
"We're lucky too. This is my sister, Anna," the male player introduced himself. "You can call me Victor."
The girl named Anna nodded to Levi.
Although this game has a self-created character system, the faces in the game are all standard templates, and there will be some minor flaws if you create your own, so many people simply let the system copy their appearance, and this player named Anna is obviously one of them.
Her face was very natural and heroic, reminding him of Yuuki Asuna, the heroine in the old anime "Sword Art Online".
Too bad he doesn't like women, it'll hinder his gaming progress!
Besides, real women are not worth his lingering, he prefers more two-dimensional ones, especially the nun type.
Levi nodded in response. "Just call me Levi. It's just my in-game name. What do you want to talk to me about?"
After he finished speaking, he looked up at the two of them.
The names that each of them had said before were displayed above their heads, and the font color was white.
Red represents hostility, gold represents special NPCs or people related to the mission, white represents non-hostile units, and green represents teammates.
This is the player's own detection system, but it can generally only detect the NPC's name and race, and players can only see the name and color.
"We wanted to play tonight, since it's the weekend after all. But this game just launched, and we don't know how to play it. So seeing you practicing here alone, you should be more familiar with it than us." Victor scratched his head. "I hope you can guide us."
"I don't know either, but it's still dangerous at night. If you value your account, I suggest... going to the nearby village." Levi was ready to find a random excuse to get rid of the problem. He was more accustomed to the lone wolf style of fighting.
"We also looked at the nearby villages, but apart from the fact that the villagers were very real, there was nothing much to explore. However, when we were walking into the city, we ran into two nuns, and one of them issued a mission." Victor said to Levi.
Levi, who was about to leave, heard the word "mission" and suddenly couldn't move. He turned stiffly to Victor and said, "Take me to see it."
"Of course no problem, I just hope that the boss can lead us for a while." Victor rubbed his hands together.
Levi showed a resolute expression, "A week is no problem, lead the way!"
……
"Sister Helen...is her race half-succubus?"
Under a big tree, Anna looked at the basic information of the petite NPC nun in front of her through the system panel, and a bad premonition emerged in her heart.
Compared to her reckless brother, she was more careful and had carefully read the racial settings of "Magic and Guns" before being dragged into the trap by her brother.
Succubi are fallen celestial beings that feed solely on desire.
Half-succubus are the offspring of succubus and humans. Of course, there is another saying...it refers to succubus who have never eaten meat.
"Natalie...race...half-elf." Victor on the other side also complained in a low voice with a strange expression on his face.
Two nuns representing purity and holiness are of these two races. It seems a bit strange no matter how you look at it!
One of them is a half-succubus! The church doesn't care?
"Two sisters, do you need any help?"
Levi didn't care what race these two nuns were. He liked nuns, especially the nun named Helen.
It looks very much like an anime character he likes very much, and it’s a grown-up version. The only pity is that it’s an airport.
"We found some bad guys at Gray Farm, and I hope you can help us deal with them." Helen pretended to be pitiful and said to the three players in front of her with tears in her eyes.
The player, one of the means by which he bet was something he had no hope of, but he did not expect it to actually work.
And judging from what the farmer said, it seemed to have arrived a day earlier than he had imagined.
Although I don’t know if it’s the influence of this little butterfly of his, it also facilitates the next plan.
"If we want to deal with it, what will our reward be?" Levi likes the NPC in front of him, but he also knows that these NPCs are calculated in real time by data model AI, so they still have some rationality and will never work in vain.
"How about a thousand copper coins? And my future help?" Helen acted as if she was short of money, with a hint of blush on her face.
Natalie next to her was stunned after hearing this. Is this the Sister Helen she knew?
Why are there so many dramas!
"So cute~" Anna looked at Helen's blushing face and quickly squatted down and asked, "Can I poke your face?"
"No~" Helen shook her head very cutely.
"Hey, I received a mission!"
At this moment, Victor suddenly shouted.
Anna and Levi were both startled and lowered their heads to call up the interface.
