Chapter 1547.1: The Church
After becoming a witch hunter, Su Xiao began wandering around the Holy Healing Church. As soon as he reached the second floor, he heard a rough shout from someone.
— Hey, are you new? The bearded man called out to Su Xiao, who didn't look like a very kind man. "It's time for dinner, the cafeteria is on the third floor, when you get up, turn left.
The expected scene of bullying the newcomer never came up. Although this man was rude in appearance and his demeanor wasn't formal, there was a hint of concern in his tone. They were all witch hunters with a simple hierarchy, so internal strife was usually very rare here.
The founders of the Church of Holy Healing were very far-sighted. They divided the church's power system into two parts: the military department and the management department.
The Military department was located in the headquarters of the Church of Holy Healing. All the important decisions in the military department were made by the current saint advisors, there were 12 of them in total, and one of those advisors was old man Carmen.
The Twelve holy advisors directly controlled all the witch hunters, but there was really nothing wrong with that. The vast majority of them gave the order in the form of starting a hunt for a particular witch or sent hunters to investigate the incident.
As for the management department, it was located in the city of Holy Healing. The "Pope" managed this structure, in fact, he was the "King" of these territories.
The army, finances, and officials were all controlled directly by the Pope, but he was strictly forbidden from interfering with the military department and the witch hunter's incidents. Although he couldn't order a witch hunter to do anything, new witch hunters were granted this status with the current Pope's approval.
The pope was above one holy advisor in status, but if the twelve holy advisors joined together, they would be able to dethrone the current Pope.
As for the election of a new Pope, ordinary residents of the territories of the Church of Holy Healing were already responsible for this, and it was the favorite of the people who became the new Pope.
Power, finances, brute force, and hidden power were clearly divided into parts within the Holy Healing Church. Hence, there was usually no intrigue among witch hunters. A dragon hunter could never tell for sure whether he would die this time because of another hunt or not, so no one was particularly eager to fight among themselves.
But that didn't mean that every witch hunter treated their colleagues with kindness. Every single one of them was a killer, and some battle-hardened witch hunters didn't even care about the lives of civilians.
After greeting the bearded man, Su Xiao turned around and walked deeper into the second floor, he wanted to visit the library, after all, it was for the sake of information that he decided to join the Holy Healing Church.
Of course, he could start asking the local guards about "Mo", but he had no idea what that meant even in theory, so it would be best if he found some clue first.
Most of the rooms on the second floor were residential. The furniture on the second floor had obviously not been updated for a long time. It was solid on the outside, but empty on the inside. However, considering the appearance of the church itself, it wasn't surprising, the witch hunters were already on a knife's edge every day, and if they were forced to do anything else in the headquarters, it obviously wouldn't turn out to be anything good.
On the way, Su Xiao saw a large man without a shirt sitting on the windowsill in his room, then noticed a girl kneeling in her room, she was praying to someone, in another room the guy was generally tied to the ceiling and tried to swing his arms and legs, apparently trying to learn how to fight upside down.
After passing through a long corridor, Su Xiao arrived at the library door. When he opened the doors, it was as if he had entered another world. The library area was at least a thousand square meters, and it was dry and warm.
There were rows of bookshelves everywhere you looked, and the library floor was spotlessly clean.
As soon as Su Xiao stepped inside, he saw a familiar blonde girl nearby, yes, it was Shirley.
— Who are you? Shirley asked and picked up a broomstick that was standing nearby as if it was a shotgun and aimed it at Su Xiao.
Su Xiao frowned and after carefully examining her, he realized that this Shirley's hairstyle was slightly different. Shirley had her hair down at the front desk, but this one had it pulled back in a ponytail, and from the way she was holding the broom, she was clearly a little crazy.
