With such a large range, even if the person they are looking for is in his prime, he may not be able to escape.
Moreover, they know better than anyone that the person they are looking for was already in a very bad state before he disappeared. Not only was he seriously injured, but his spirit was also in a state of collapse.
How could such a person escape their search range?
The nun's eyes condensed, and she clenched her hands suddenly. In an instant, countless golden light cones appeared out of thin air, piercing the floating flesh and blood ball in the air.
Then, she swung her hands flat, and in an instant, the red light dissipated, and the entire formation stopped working.
"Let me confirm again," the nun turned her head and looked at the old man in the distance, "Is she really still alive?"
The old man did not answer, but just put the staff in front of him, then closed his eyes. After a long time, he opened his eyes with a subtle expression and said: "Yes, according to the news from Priest Leshi, she must still be alive."
"Damn, how is this possible..."
The nun turned her head suddenly, and the golden light flashed in her hand again. Not long after, the huge formation was activated by her again, and the mass of flesh and blood was completely transformed into a huge blood ball this time.
However, the blood ball floating in the air was still motionless as before.
Chapter 40 Why are you fighting for 3,000 yuan a month? Isn't it better to go home and lie down?
Three days later, noon.
The blonde nun had a gloomy face, stood in the center of the formation with her hands hanging down, looking at the large piece of dark mud on the ground, without saying a word.
For three consecutive days, she activated the formation nearly ten times.
But no matter which time, the result was the same. The formation did not respond at all, indicating that the target they were looking for was not in the range at all.
In fact, they did not need to repeat so many times.
As a result, since the second time, most people actually understood that no matter how many times they tried, the result would probably not change.
Although they did not know how they achieved their goal, the other party was probably no longer here.
But the nun could not accept it.
She had waited for this day for too long, and she was looking forward to it, but now, she got such a result.
For three whole days, she did not sleep. She had to restart the formation every few hours. The corpse she brought turned into blood and water, and then gradually turned black and smelled. When the magic power in it was completely exhausted, the flesh and blood also completely withered, and turned into a dark mud on the ground, and it could no longer be used as a medium to activate the formation, she finally stopped.
And now, she was so discouraged that even in front of everyone, she no longer had a smile on her face, only the chilling gloomy pressure.
Everyone could see that she was in a bad mood.
Very bad.
As for the reason...
For the Holy Church, the gains and losses of everything need to be calculated.
There are clear budget indicators for this goal.
And this time, the magic array almost spent all the budget. This time, they returned empty-handed. Not only will everyone from top to bottom be punished, but it will be almost impossible to use the power of the Holy Church to continue searching for the target.
The Holy Church calculated the gains and losses, but this nun was different.
Almost everyone knew that their nun had an exaggerated obsession with the escaped target, and she was determined to win this operation.
But what was the result?
They were fully prepared, risking the reputation of the Holy Church, and did not hesitate to use the master-level spell array to search for the target, but found nothing.
How could this result be accepted by their nun?
So, even though they knew that their nun had been doing useless work repeatedly, they remained silent and stood there for three days in a row. When they were really sleepy, they only dared to stand with their weapons to sleep for a while.
Fortunately, they are all soldiers of the Crusaders, the elite of the Empire, otherwise, if they were ordinary soldiers, they would have collapsed long ago.
And today, their torture seems to be finally over.
"Where are the Crusaders?" the nun asked, her voice full of fatigue and unwillingness.
When the soldiers heard this, although they were almost dying of sleep, they were excited when they thought that this might be a signal to escape from the sea of suffering, and they all responded in unison.
"Rest each other, clean up the scene tomorrow, and return to the church after the end..."
After that, the blonde nun turned around, walked with heavy steps, walked to her own lounge, and closed the door.
Looking at the closed lounge, the old man who had secretly slept behind the soldiers before narrowed his eyes slightly and curled his lips meaningfully.
Seeing this, a soldier came up and asked in a low voice: "Old priest, do you think Saint Melens will just let it go? I heard that..."
"Shh, don't talk nonsense," the old man interrupted the soldier, "How can I not know what you are spreading among each other?"
"Ahaha, that's right," the soldier scratched his head.
"Alas," the old man sighed, "The budget of the Holy Church to deal with this matter is basically spent this time, and we can basically say that we have gained nothing. In this case, it is basically impossible to apply for more funds. The higher-ups will most likely put this matter on hold. Saint Melens... well, with her personality, I'm afraid she won't let it go, but what else she plans to do afterwards, she can only rely on her own connections and resources to do it privately, and it has nothing to do with us and the Holy Church."
"That's right..." the soldier nodded, "Speaking of which, old priest, do you think it's possible that the person we're looking for is just hiding? Although the formation used this time is powerful, it's not omnipotent, right? ?”
The old man glanced at the soldier, smiled disdainfully, and said: "Yes, it is not omnipotent. No matter formations or magic, nothing is omnipotent and has no shortcomings. This is often said by people. Not fake."
"But the formation we are using this time, if we want to avoid its detection within the range, even if we die, we will burn it to ashes, and the ashes will be found. The only way is to completely change the nature of our flesh and blood."
"There are many ways to achieve this in a short time, such as turning people into elements, spirits, anti-life forms, etc. But you have to know that we have been here for three days, and during this time, at least it has been activated. More than ten spells."
"If you want to keep people in these states for such a long time, you have to have at least a special-level or above-level warlock or wizard to do it."
"If you want to say that there is such a number one person who is secretly dealing with us, not to mention how low the probability is, even if it does happen, with our current budget, if we want to find such a person, it is better to save money."
Having said this, the old man raised his hands and stretched his waist.
"So, think less about what you have and what you don't have. You can do whatever you want with the money from above. If nothing happens, go and clean up the scene. Finish cleaning up early and leave early. I miss the beer in Jorgis City very much. …”

Lu Lin felt like he had had a long dream.
In the dream, he was still an ordinary college student. He attended school during the day and learned various alchemy techniques. At night, he sat in an Internet cafe with his friends and played black and white games.
They were playing League of Legends for a while and Dota 2 for a while, but no matter which one they played, he always chose the Alchemist.
In the chaos, he seemed to remember that one of his buddies asked him why he wanted to play Alchemist. He also said that playing this was good for learning, and then they all started playing Alchemist.
Then, he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be five alchemists driving BKB into the opponent's face in the Summoner's Rift. Those alchemists were all riding ogres with double swords and carrying gas tanks on their backs.
That was to say, he was in a dream. Faced with such a chaotic scene, he didn't feel anything was wrong. Instead, he kept having fun.
However, while enjoying himself, Lu Lin suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He looked down and was shocked to find that the Internet cafe was flooded.
At first glance, the water only covered his ankles, but in an instant, the water quickly grew taller and finally reached his neck.
Lu Lin was frightened and hurriedly wanted to ask his friends for help.
But when I turned around, I saw no friends nearby.
Turning around again, this is an Internet cafe.
Lu Lin raised his head and saw that the fog in the sky blocked all vision. He was sitting in the water and couldn't see anything at a glance.
No matter which direction, there is only thick fog.
Lu Lin opened his eyes wide, trying hard to see something from the fog.
Even if it's just a little outline that can guide the direction, that's fine.
But nothing could be seen, only the endless fog, the fog getting thicker and thicker, the fog getting closer and closer, the fog that almost completely submerged Lu Lin...
"Well!"
Lu Lin opened his eyes suddenly.
Looking at the black inner wall of the alchemy cauldron and the half-kettle of water in front of him, Lu Lin was in a daze.
Ah, yes, he remembered.
He jumped into the useless sleeping spring of King Gulan.
correct!
Tanuki!
Lu Lin quickly lowered his head.
I saw Tanuki's entire face buried in the water, her hands and feet hanging limply, floating in the alchemy cauldron as if she was drowning.
Lu Lin was startled, and quickly reached out to grab Numi's shoulders, trying to lift her out of the water.
The result.
The support was raised, and even Tanuki raised his head at the same time.
For a moment, their eyes met.
Tanuki blinked expressionlessly, his eyes still as blank as usual.
But looking at this scene, Lu Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I didn't drown, and everything was as usual.
The entire petrification process was successfully carried out without any accidents.
Thinking of this, Lu Lin finally relaxed completely and loosened his grip on Li Mi's shoulders.
Unexpectedly, when he let go, Li Mi splashed his face into the water again.
"Ah this..." Lu Lin was stunned. He was about to do something, but he felt two hands wrapping around his chest and hugging him.
Then, Tanumi kept burying her face in the water, and leaned over like a floating jellyfish. She put her head on Lu Lin's chest, hugged him like this, and stopped moving.
Lu Lin was stunned for a while, then turned his head and looked out the window.
In fact, he really wanted to go upriver to see if the people of the Holy Cult had withdrawn.
but……
Ten days have passed. If you can avoid it, you should avoid it. If you hadn't, the other party would have come long ago.
In this case, there is no need to rush.
Thinking like this, Lu Lin felt relieved and simply relaxed. He slowly lowered his raised hand, gently placed it on the top of Li Mi's head, and stroked her hair slowly.
Chapter 41: How come I still meet the bandits Huo Bin when I go out?
"Hmm... King Gulan's useless sleeping spring will completely turn into clear water after ten days. No wonder it must be used right after it is refined."
Lu Lin held the alchemy staff and used it to transfer the liquid in the cauldron outside the house while observing the liquid.
As for Li Mi, she went to sleep again on the bed.
When she just woke up, I don't know if it was because she wanted to act coquettishly after suffering from severe pain all day, so she hugged Lu Lin for a while, but it was only a few minutes.
After that, she took the initiative to take out the alchemy cauldron and waited next to the rice cooker.
Her style was the same as always.
Lu Lin was hungry, so he went out to cook as soon as possible.
Although there were no fresh ingredients to use, the rice, potatoes and bacon stored at home could be used to stew a simple pot of bacon and potato rice.
After feeding Li Mi, she went to sleep. As for Lu Lin himself, after dinner, he dressed up as a herbalist and went upstream.
After checking the place, I found that the shed built by the town guards had been removed, and the place where the cave was before had turned into an ordinary rock wall, as if no one had ever gathered nearby.
However, from the ruts and footprints left on the ground a little further away, it can be seen that the scene here before was not Lu Lin's illusion.
As expected, the people of the Holy Church should have used some means to directly restore the cave.
In this world where magic exists, it is just blocking a cave, which is not a big deal.
However, since the cave is blocked, it means that the people of the Holy Church have really left.
Later, Lu Lin went to the town to inquire a little, and the news he got also confirmed this point, saying that about five or six days ago, all the people of the Holy Church had withdrawn.
After inquiring about the news, Lu Lin went home.
