Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections

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

Lin Yi killed at least dozens of thieves along the way. Almost every few kilometers, he would encounter one or two groups of thieves.

These thieves did not have the style of "I opened this road, leave money to buy the way". They would not negotiate with travelers at all. They would kill directly and then loot the property from the corpses.

When he reached the edge of Shengyu City, Lin Yi finally saw many villages.

These villages are mainly based on animal husbandry. The villagers in the village look extremely vigilant and have a strong xenophobia towards outsiders.

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

A large part of the residents in these villages came from other cities on Dark Raven Star. Naturally, they knew the harm of witches. For witch hunters, this group of people believed in them 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 Shengyu City.

Not long after, a magnificent city wall appeared in sight.

This city wall is a hundred meters high. You can vaguely see traces of filling on the wall. Judging from the degree of damage, it is very likely that it was done by witches.

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

Standing in the distance and looking at the city wall of Shengyu City, it feels like looking at a mountain, and looking up at it from a close distance is like looking at the sky wall.

It is unimaginable that with the level of technology in this world, how did they build this city wall that is a hundred meters high and more than twenty meters thick, or in other words, this is not done by humans at all.

As soon as Lin Yi approached the city gate, he heard a bustling voice.

After careful observation, he found that entering the Holy Healing City was much easier than he had imagined. There was no need to pay the entrance fee or undergo tedious inspections.

Soldiers holding old-fashioned shotguns stood on both sides of the city gate. They looked like hawks, scanning every civilian entering the city. Once they noticed a suspicious target, they would immediately conduct further inspections.

"Stop."

As soon as Lin Yi and his party arrived in front of the city gate, five soldiers holding shotguns walked straight up.

Since the carriage that Lin Yi and Toby Hubert were riding in had the curtains pulled up, this situation naturally attracted the special attention of these patrol soldiers.

"Stop."

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

Hearing the 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 time brought 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, no matter men or women, they 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, the inside of the yellow crystal changed significantly, and its color quickly changed from yellow to red.

"Witch! Come out!"

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

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

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

The moment Toby Hubert came out, the tense mood of these patrol soldiers was slightly relaxed.

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

"There is a newly captured witch in the carriage. Send someone to check it out." Toby Hubert yawned as he spoke. It was obvious that he had long been accustomed to such things.

"Excuse me."

The team leader of the patrol team 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. Then he 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. The team leader noticed that Sharlene Sharp's eyes could only move constantly.

"Well, thank you for the witch hunting operation, Lord Toby. Let them go."

After the team leader got off the carriage and issued the order to let them go, the other patrol soldiers put away their shotguns and continued to check the relevant conditions 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, which means there is one every day on average, so you should understand."

Just as Toby Hubert was explaining to Lin Yi, there was a sudden explosion not far behind them.

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

A soldier looked panicked and rushed past the carriage with 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 the lady was like a hideous evil ghost. She was controlling the huge avatar behind her and slaughtering the surrounding civilians like crazy.

"Go to hell! Go to hell!"

Seeing this scene, Lin Yi couldn't help but frowned. Why did the witch do this?

"Don't bother thinking about it. Most witches are crazy. If they were conscious, they wouldn't become witches. Do you want to do it or do I?" Lin Yi heard Toby Hubert shaking his head, indicating that he should do it. With such a large source of development, Lin Yi would not give this 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 body and the huge incarnation. These shotguns did not fire conventional gunpowder bullets, but a kind of bullet mixed with diamond. Once diamond enters the witch's blood, it will affect the witch's sensitivity to control the incarnation. Lin Yi noticed that at this moment, the witch was controlling her huge incarnation to block in front of him, blocking all the diamond bullets. At the moment when the other party used the incarnation to block everyone's vision, Lin Yi paused and disappeared on the spot. When Lin Yi appeared again, he had already come to the position behind the witch.

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

But Lin Yi did not give the witch a chance at all. The black and white rose directly pierced through the energy node of the black energy ball, piercing the witch's body.

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

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

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

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

But Lin Yi would not give her a chance at all. He raised his right foot and kicked the witch to the ground, then took 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 avatar also began to dissipate, leaving only two avatar fragments carrying the power of dark elements.

[Hint: You killed Las Doris. ]

[Las Doris is a third-stage elemental black witch. You get 1.0% of the source of pioneering, and now you have 1.8% of the source of pioneering. ]

[You get a treasure chest (legendary level). ]

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

"Thank you for your help, sir."

You should know that this witch is a witch who can summon an incarnation in the third stage. If they really fight, these soldiers are no match for this witch.

They are ready to use their lives to delay the witch's pace and wait for the support of the Holy Healing Church to arrive.

But they didn't expect Lin Yi to suddenly take action and solve the witch in a few seconds.

"Where is the witch? Where is the witch?"

Just when Lin Yi returned to the carriage, an old man and a bearded man appeared at the gate of the city.

"It should not have gone far. I can smell that disgusting smell has not dissipated yet."

The bearded man's nose twitched slightly, and then a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

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

"Okay, stop being in a daze and go back." The old man looked around and saw the fragments of the incarnation left on the ground. He realized that someone must have dealt with the witch who was making trouble here.

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

The bodies of the old man and the bearded man froze at the same time. At the moment when Lin Yi just passed by them, they only felt that a black hole passed by them and swallowed up all their perceptions in an instant.

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

"Interesting, it seems that the church will have another ruthless person." The old man looked at the back of Lin Yi's carriage gradually going away, and a meaningful smile hung on his face.

In the team entering the city not far away, there was a very eye-catching woman.

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

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

The elemental black witch who could summon an incarnation was suppressed by someone before she could even last half a minute. If she dared to make a fuss, she would not last for ten seconds.

Thinking of this, the purple-haired woman had the idea of ​​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 the purple-haired woman left the team entering the city without permission, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the surrounding soldiers, which would be even more dangerous.

Holy Healing City, city center.

A carriage drove through the street, raising dust.

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

Toby Hubert carried Charlene Sharp, who was still in anesthesia, and jumped off the carriage.

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

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

On the wall on one side of the lobby, there was a large thick wooden board, on which many wanted posters were densely nailed. These wanted posters were of different ages, and some of the papers had turned slightly yellow, which showed that they had been posted for a long time.

Although the lobby was several hundred square meters in size and quite large in scale, the furnishings inside were very simple.

On the inside of the lobby front 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 news, bounty information and other related matters provided by civilians.

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

She always keeps a sweet smile on her face, but judging from her glance at the clockwork from time to time, she should be about 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 crisp and polite, obviously professionally trained.

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

After Charlene Sharp uttered a muffled groan, many witch hunters in the hall looked over.

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

"Alive?"

"Alive."

"Let me see, Sharlene Sharp, a second-stage black witch, an elemental witch, who has committed many crimes. It's just right to hand her over to the guys in the R\u0026D 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 out from behind the counter quickly, then squatted down, took a close look at Sharlene Sharp's appearance, and 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 is inseparable from developing various weapons and equipment against witches.

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

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

After the girl stood up, her eyes cast on Lin Yi. She noticed that Lin Yi seemed to have the remaining breath of a witch.

"Please register for me. I want to join the Holy Healing Church." Lin Yi threw Abe Joy's wanted order and several fragments of the incarnation he had obtained in 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 finger.

"The carrier after the incarnation is materialized?"

As a civil servant of the Holy Healing Church, the girl also has multiple duties such as front desk and customer service. Naturally, she knows something about this kind of item.

"Where did you get it from?"

"I killed a witch, and her incarnation was broken and left 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 and stood up, walked into the wooden door behind her. Lin Yi waited for about 10 minutes, and the blonde girl and the old man walked 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 his crutches.

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

"I know." The old man responded briefly.

The old man in the white robe had a serious hunchback, and he came to Lin Yi with his crutches.

"See you again, young man."

The old man in the white robe was named Carmen, and he was one of the twelve saint councillors of the Holy Healing Church.

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

The force department is stationed at the headquarters of the Holy Healing Church. All major decisions here are decided by the Anglican Church.

There are twelve saint councilors in the Anglican Church, just like this old man named Carmen, who is one of them.

These twelve saint councilors directly govern all witch hunters, but in fact, they don’t need to care too much about anything in daily life.

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

The second part of the power agency of the Holy Healing Church is the management department, that is, the officials of the Holy Healing City. They are managed by the Pope. The so-called Pope is essentially the king.

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

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

Although the Pope is like a king in status, he has no 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 higher than a single Saint Councillor. After the twelve Saint Councillors gather together, they can easily remove the Pope. The Pope is elected by officials who are loved by the people.

Within the Holy Healing Church, the division of power, finance, royal power, and the mysterious side can be said to be clear.

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

Each of them knows that one day they may die on the battlefield while hunting witches. In this case, why bother to fight internally.

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

There are some extreme witch hunters who don't care about the lives of civilians at all when they act. They only have the task in their eyes. Their style of behavior can be said to be quite cold and ruthless.

"It's you."

Lin Yi recognized Carmen, of course. He had passed by Carmen at the city gate just now, but he didn't pay attention to her 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 welcome you to join. Shirley, please handle 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 originally prepared for ordinary people. This gentleman cannot be a witch's lackey. I know this in my heart. It's enough." Carmen waved her hand and interrupted Shirley with a very firm tone.

Hearing Carmen's words, Shirley had no choice but to nod slightly, and then took out a piece of paper from the side, which was full of a lot of forms.

After filling it out, Lin Yi handed the form to Shirley. Looking at the doctor who was obviously a code name, Shirley ignored him and completed Lin Yi's application for membership according to the normal procedures. (End of this chapter)
