Strange Star Witch

Rudolph worked very hard to eliminate several Hive Priests before returning to the police station again.

"Did I see it wrong!" Rudolph didn't believe his eyes:

"Sheriff, are you studying? How does the word "study" have anything to do with you? Sheriff, what is that in your hand?"

Shouldn't there be oysters on the Sheriff's desk? How could something unexpected like a book appear? Moreover, it is a huge book, thicker than a fist.

The page of the book was opened, and there were densely packed parameter charts and formulas inside. Rudolph glanced at it and couldn't understand it at all.

"Are you...writing a paper?"

Sheriff Claude had a sad look on his face. He had just written a topic: "Research on Cold Forging Technology of Low Carbon Steel Under the Dominance of Alchemical Power".

There were crumpled papers scattered around, and it was obvious that this paper was somewhat difficult to produce.

"Why, Rudolf, do you understand papers too?"

Rudolf shook his head: "I know every word you wrote, but these words should not be connected together. They exceed the boundaries of my cognition and hit the blind spot of my knowledge."

Sheriff Claude sighed. He wanted to go further. If he wanted to be promoted, he had to go to the laboratory of a level 3 alchemist for further training. Only those alchemists' laboratories had enough alchemical iron.

He is familiar with new materials.

There are thresholds for further study. If you want to knock on the door of the alchemy laboratory, you must first have several published papers, and you must prove to the alchemists that their newly recruited researchers have certain research capabilities.

He can still try if he is asked to write a few papers on female psychology. How does he know about this damn cold forging?

I pieced it all together and got some ideas. I hope I won't be torn into pieces by "Acta Fabro Alchemy" and sent back.

"Forget it, don't talk about these troublesome things." Sheriff Claude pushed the reference books and papers aside, and he felt much better. He asked: "Is there any clue about the insect plague?"

Rudolph handed the investigation report to the police chief, and the police chief read it quickly.

"In other words, we discovered it too late. It's already the end of May. Even if we launch a large-scale operation to eliminate the insect hive priests, won't we be able to change the outcome of this year's grain harvest?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

After seeing the report submitted by Rudolph, Sheriff Claude was also helpless.

"Then let's continue the work of cleaning up the insect nest priests, and at least give the farmers an attitude...

Fortunately, the level 1 insect hive priest's attack ability is not strong, so you should be able to deal with it."

Sheriff Claude had a headache. According to the reported insect infestation, even if Rudolph was exhausted to death, it would be impossible to clear out all the insect hive priests within a few months.

"Bullets, kerosene."

Rudolf simply stated his request briefly.

Sheriff Claude readily agreed to these requests:

"I'll make you some more bullets, give you the kerosene, and give you the bonus. I've been a little busy recently, so I haven't gone out. As you can see, my affairs are much more difficult to deal with than the Insect's Hive Priest."

Rudolf nodded. Since the harvest was a foregone conclusion, it was of little use for the Sheriff to take action now.

He has a hard life, so he has to find a way to collect more relics, find an opportunity to make them into witchcraft weapons, and slowly sell them to the Black Gold Exchange.

You can't sell too much at once, otherwise you will be targeted.

When Rudolph left the police station's door, on the rooftop of the police station, Inkabod and Kevin stood by the parapet, watching Rudolph go away.

Kevin was a little confused: "Yinkabode, why don't we go directly to Sheriff Claude?"

"Don't alert the enemy."

"How can this be considered as alerting the enemy? This is a wizard. Do you need to hesitate? I suspect that Rudolph is a wizard."

"That's the problem. It's just your suspicion. Without evidence, of course you can't alarm them."

Kevin was in disbelief: "They? Could it be that Sheriff Claude doesn't know anything about the wizard Rudolph?"

Yin Kabode explained patiently:

"If you have a conflict with a person, don't expect his father or son, or his friends to be on your side. Even if you are just and right, you will only suffer the consequences.

Their targeting.

Chief Claude and Rudolf have a very good relationship, which is known to the entire police department.

We must obtain very sufficient evidence and put the evidence on Chief Crowder's desk in order to be effective and to silence Chief Crowder.

Kevin, do your divination results prove anything?"

Kevin shook his head. He used the corpse of the Hive Priest to do a divination, but what confused him was that he couldn't get any results from the divination.

The results of divination cannot point to a certain person or a certain direction.

Kevin said seriously: "This is what makes me worried and anxious. There are apostles above level 3, or very powerful witchcraft, blocking the destiny. Things are more serious than I imagined."

Inkabod said:

"Kevin, you are always very impulsive and always rely on your intuition. This is a common problem with your spirits.

But you must be careful this time. There is a wizard in the police station. If there is no conclusive evidence, Chief Claude will send you to prison for the sake of his reputation.

Let's look for it again. I failed to track down the Black Queen last time. I thought about it. Sometimes, your divination ability will be targeted and it may not work.

We need to be like a patrolman, slowly looking for evidence and working through a closed chain of evidence. This is a good supplementary method.

Your divination ability is also very useful in finding evidence."

The two witch hunters watched Rudolph go away, but every move they made was clearly seen by a sparrow.

This is Rudolph's home court. Rudolph will look at his spiritual pet pocket watch whenever no one is around. He is a wizard, so he is very vigilant.

Rudolf in the distance closed the spiritual pet crystal. He did not look back, but he was very confused, what were the two witch hunters doing on the rooftop?

Their eyes seem to be looking at themselves?

The great botanist and bull terrier imitator once said that when you doubt whether a melon is ripe, the melon is no longer ripe in your heart.

Once suspicion arises, the crime is immediately established.

When Rudolf begins to suspect two witch hunters, he needs to be really careful.

There is no groundless suspicion. You must allocate some energy and pay attention to the next moves of these two people.

Soon, the full moon of June will come. The full moon means coming to Mang Town to worship the full moon every month, and the monthly festivals are coming.

The people in the town were waiting in the square. When they saw Butcher the Butcher and the dog getting on the sacrificial altar again, they burst into boos.

"It's a werewolf again!"

"Can you change it to another one?"

"For 5 or 6 months in a row, they are all werewolves!"

···

The first time you watch a vicious dog eating a werewolf, it can stimulate everyone's nerves, but after more stimulation, it gradually becomes less interesting.

Butcher Butcher, nearly 2 meters tall, faced the crowd's boos and helplessly spread his big hands.

Originally, he was here to do voluntary labor. Crushing a werewolf in one night was quite tiring, and now he had to be booed.

He took out a lighter from his arms and took out the hidden torch from the hem of the butcher's apron.

At this moment, the onlookers didn't know what Butcher was going to do.

Butcher lit the torch, and the flames lit up on the stage.

Then, he waved the torch and suddenly pointed it at the other end of the altar.

At this time, the people on the other side of the altar also lit torches, lighting up the place.

It turned out that at the other end of the sacrificial altar, some people were piling firewood, and others were carrying the pillars of the torture rack.

"Burning at the stake! Oh! It's the burning at the stake!"

The audience is finally satisfied, it seems there are two sacrifices this month!

Butcher Butcher was also very satisfied with his performance.

Not long after, people from the police station escorted two sacrifices.

One was a werewolf with no originality, and the other was a man with his upper body bare and a huge black beetle painted on his chest.

People nearby saw the man's arms, which were tightly pressed together, and each one had thick, deep pits. They were so frightened that they took two steps back.

Rudolf, as captain, waved to the people around him.

Everyone in the town likes Rudolph very much. They all know that Sheriff Claude is a very lazy person. The reason why there are constant sacrifices in the town is because of the model worker Rudolph.

And Rudolf paid for whatever he consumed, whether it was going to a pub, shopping, or going to a bathhouse.

Under his leadership, the trainee patrol officers in the police station also behaved in this way. This made the people in the town feel that Rudolph was simply the best patrol captain.

Amid the cheers of the town residents, the werewolf was placed on Butcher the Butcher's huge eucalyptus board.

The man with the black beetle was taken to the stake.

At this time, the red priest came out and presided over the full moon sacrifice in June.

From the mouth of the red priest Mr. Pulley, the residents of the town learned that the man who was about to be burned at the stake was one of the murderers of the recent insect plague!

Heretic Apostle! Priest of the Evil God's Hive!

At this moment, the residents were extremely excited.

The price of bread has been rising for a long time. It is said that it is due to food shortages and the autumn grain harvest may be poor, so the supply has become less.

It turns out that someone deliberately kept aphids.

It was also the first time that the residents of the town learned that there was an evil god called the Insect's Nest, which specialized in raising various pests.

The red priest Mr. Puli glanced at Rudolph and said to the people in the square:

"Our patrol captain, Rudolf, came up with a brilliant idea after the wizard was burned at the stake last November. After I learned about the idea, I thought it made perfect sense.

Hanging upside down is more suitable for burning at the stake!

Let's hang him upside down and admire his kicking feet!

Let's hang him upside down and let him burn even more thoroughly!

From today on, the execution at the stake in Laimang Town will be carried out by hanging upside down!"

The square suddenly erupted into fierce cheers. This month's burning at the stake had new tricks.

Rudolf looked around awkwardly, wondering when the red priest had read the confirmation sheet he wrote on the results of the burning.

Amid the cheers of the people, the priest of the Evil God's Hive was hung upside down and tied to the stake.

This time, his head will be fully cooked.

Rudolf didn't want his identity as a wizard to be exposed, and he didn't want his head to be burned to a crisp.

Rudolf couldn't bear to look any further, as if he was the one who was burning. He turned to look at Yin Fenggna's condition and found that she was in pretty good condition.

As she becomes more and more accustomed to her werewolf powers, her periods of losing her mind become shorter and shorter.

Now she only loses her mind for one hour in the second half of every full moon night.

The evil dogs began to growl, a fire was lit under the stake, and Rudolf waited for the full moon to murmur.

"The blood is so sweet..."

Rudolf heard this gibberish every month. He searched for several months but could not find out who this apostle was.

"Come out of the cocoon, my little cuties..."

This sentence appears often, and I don’t know who is speaking.

Judging from this gibberish, Rudolf suspected that there had always been an insect hive priest in Laimang Town, and he had been planning something.

At this time, a new gibberish suddenly made Rudolf's childish eyes widen.

"Rudolf...the wizard..."

Rudolph's head instantly broke out in cold sweat.

He looked around, looking for the source of the gibbering.

However, what made him helpless was that he was surrounded by cheering residents and carnival crowds.

He had no idea who was calling him a wizard!

Where was he exposed? Where was he exposed? When was he exposed?

At this moment, Rudolph thought a lot.

The busy but comfortable atmosphere of the police station, the delicious ale in the tavern, the warm spring water in the bathhouse, the residents who greeted him on the road...

He looked at the burning stake. On the burning stake, the body of the Level 1 Hive Priest was already ulcerated and charred black.

He didn't want to see such a day happen to him, and he didn't want the people in the town and the police station to watch him being burned to death with relish.

If he hadn't babbled during the full moon, then he wouldn't have even known that he was being investigated.

If his identity as a wizard is exposed, he feels that no one will pity him except Yin Fengna.

"That's it, Captain?"

Yin Fenggna saw Rudolph's pale face and felt a little strange.

"It's okay, Yin Fenggna, let's go to the old place later to help you spend the full moon night."

After the sacrifice, when leaving the square, Rudolf met Yinkabod and Kevin who also left here.

Kevin's face was full of smiles: "Patrol Rudolf, your suggestion is really good! What a genius idea. Burning at the stake has been around for thousands of years, and no one has ever thought of hanging heretics upside down. It's a really good idea."

Kevin stared at Rudolph's head and felt that Rudolph was really brave. Wasn't he afraid that he would be the one who was hung upside down and burned?

Rudolf just smiled and said: "I can't help it. There have been many disasters in Mang Town recently. Let's do something new to make everyone happy."

"Captain Rudolph, can you get off work?"

"No, I have to bury two sacrifices first. In the middle of the night, I have to patrol the outskirts of the town. It's not peaceful recently. There are either werewolves or evil priests around."

When Kevin heard that Rudolph was so busy, he sighed: "You've been working very hard. I think Sheriff Claude should give up his seat to you."

"I feel the same way, and I hope you can say it in front of the police chief.

By the way, Kevin, it’s been almost a month since you came to Mang Town, have you found the cause of the werewolf riot?”

Kevin shook his head:

"Unfortunately, no. All the werewolves we captured, whether they were Level 1 werewolves or Level 2 werewolves, said that they came to Mang Town under the leadership of the alpha wolf.

We are unable to determine what level the biggest ‘alpha wolf’ is.

Hey, the Judgment Office has continuously raised the level of response to werewolf riots. In 5 or 6 towns around Fabro City, there are witch hunters investigating werewolves.

I think Inkabod and I can't leave for the time being."

Rudolph heard bad news. It seemed that the two men were not ready to leave for the time being.

After a few more words of banter, everyone parted ways.
