Chapter 1541: Guest from the Black Abyss
Su Xiao's expression wasn't very good. Before his death, Isa only managed to say: "Isaiah and I don't know where the Land of Death is, only Mo...»
Only the last part of what she said could help with the search for the Land of Death, but such a bit of information was too vague.
— Mo?.. Su Xiao muttered. He only had this clue on hand, so now he could only guess at what Isa wanted to say.
— Woof — "Bubtney barked, meaning," Maybe she meant motorcycle or motor?»
Suppressing the urge to hit Bubtny's head with a sneaker, Su Xiao checked the notifications from Paradise.
[
You killed Isa.
Isa is a witch of fire. You have received 0.5% of the Research Source and have a total of 0.8% of the Research Source.
[
Your Soul Eater talent has been activated, and your mana pool has been increased by 27 points. The maximum amount of mana at the moment is 6,516 units.
[
You have received a legendary treasure chest.
Reminder: The contents of this chest have been improved by 50%.
Although Isa was killed by someone else, Su Xiao received almost all the rewards for eliminating her. After all, before she died, she couldn't do anything and already had one foot in the grave precisely because of his actions.
After reading the notifications, he narrowed his eyes. His guess was correct, someone had actually finished Isa off from a very long distance, and he had finished her off for the sake of silencing her forever.
Su Xiao had only met two witches in the entire time, and each of them had no intention of saying anything about the Land of Death, which clearly indicated that they simply couldn't talk about it to outsiders, or else they would repeat Isa's fate.
— Su Xiao walked towards the city gate while thinking about this. She could start talking about a place or a name, or she could start talking about an artifact. If she started talking about the artifact, then it would be impossible to find anything with such a clue.
But it clearly had to have something to do with the witches. Come to think of it, Su Xiao needed to find someone who was very familiar with witches right now.
He immediately thought of the Church of the Holy Healing.
The witches were very powerful, but they didn't rule the world because of the existence of the Church of Holy Healing. This organization was founded 900 years ago and at the very beginning was a simple private organization in which there were ordinary people united by one grief.
Each of them lost their relatives or loved ones because of the actions of witches.
At first it was just a common rabble, but 30 years after the church was founded, they somehow managed to kill one witch, even though they had to poison her and stab her in the back.
After that, the Church of Holy Healing attracted the attention of various forces and received some funding, although by the end of the year it was dissolved due to "internal problems", because of various scandals, most of its main figures left the church at once.
Was it true? Oh no. At that time, 176 people who had left the church were forced to go into hiding. Their actions attracted the witches ' attention. All these 176 people began to hide with the help of accumulated money and some connections acquired during all this time.
Among these 176 people, 84 were young men. Through legal or not-so-legal schemes, they were able to find more than 100 young and healthy women, after which they began to plan as many children as they could conceive..
And so, after collecting the first batch of offspring, the Church of Holy Healing was revived again. Since at the time of the dissolution, each of those who left took a good amount of money with them, many of them were able to become rulers of small territories, rich businessmen, doctors, and so on.
Once again united, they began to train their offspring.
These kids only learned one thing — witch hunting.
Twenty years later, the first group of witch hunters left the castle of Black Iron.
Half a month later, eight witches fell at their hands.
Perseverance could lead a person to the top. Two generations have given up family, entertainment, relatives and friends for one purpose. All they wanted was to kill the witches. Young offspring were taught the truth about this world from childhood, even though they would only be able to understand most of it when they were older.
They raised them as the future hope of humanity, they had to stand up for the people and prevent the witches from creating further chaos.
That was their mission.
Although the training and dogmas instilled were insane, the first generation witch hunters really changed the world. Because of them, witches no longer dared to capture people en masse for their experiments, and witch slave markets were now hidden from normal view and were no longer so common. Witches were no longer overlords of the world, they were no longer " unkillable higher beings».
After all, once a person saw the blood of a" God", they would stop being afraid of him.
And it was all thanks to the Church of Holy Healing, an extremely abnormal but persistent organization. To this day, witches were horrified when they heard about witch hunters. Although the hunters were often not much stronger than the average person, each of them possessed a special power that weakened the witches ' power.
If five hunters came together against one witch, if she wasn't truly powerful, she would only have to run away from those hunters.
This church was so named because its founders wanted to heal this world in the name of their ancestors and humanity.
And now Su Xiao decided to go to this church, because there, most likely, he will be able to find the necessary information.
It was very easy to find the Church of Holy Healing. To do this, you had to visit the city of Holy Healing in the center of the continent. The church's headquarters was located there. Real estate in this city was the most expensive in this entire world, because this city was considered the safest. As for ordinary residents, if a person was willing to work, not to mention eat and drink, they could easily get a good rest a couple of times a month.
As he made his way to the city gate, he began to pass by the market, which turned out to be a slave market.
What was even stranger was that the slaves in this market were shouting loudly and calling for them to be bought.
Now, it wasn't always the whim of others that made slaves become slaves in this world. Thanks to the presence of the Church of Holy Healing, this business eventually became transparent, of course, it was about slave markets under human control. Six out of ten slaves in such markets became slaves on a whim. If a person, for example, could not work and had no money left for food, he could become a slave, so that he would receive a full meal every day.
In such markets, slaves were usually purchased for the sake of hard work, while female slaves were purchased for the sake of simplifying daily life and warming the bed.
Of course, in such a chaotic world, the origin of many slaves could remain questionable, and it was because of this that the three largest factions, Demon Fang, Riko, and Byba controlled almost 70% of this business. Most of the kingdoms were afraid of these three organizations. The Demon Fang was the most powerful faction, this organization even managed to sell witches, so considering just this, it could already be said that this faction possessed a huge amount of power.
After passing through the slave market, Su Xiao headed straight for the city gate.
Half an hour later, he left the city. When he left the city, he was carrying a simple map and a dozen books.
Thanks to these books, he will be able to better understand this world, and the map will not let him get lost.
After 40 hours, Su Xiao arrived at the central plains, and after walking another 20 kilometers, he arrived at the territory under the control of the Holy Healing Church.
----
On the eastern part of the planet, in the forest.
*Click-click...*
Space shattered as a thick, dark-skinned hand made its way into the world.
With a bang, a figure flew out of the opening hole. The lower body of this figure was missing, and the muscles around the severed part of the body were constantly twitching.
Two seconds later, the figure was on its feet. A creature about four meters tall, with dark skin, a bald head, and pale pupils surveyed the surroundings.
— I've finally arrived, " the creature said in the Black Abyss language, and began to warm up. It was originally from the Void, first it entered the Black Abyss, after which it was able to enter this world.
As for his companions, because they were too strong, they were not allowed to enter this world by the protection of Paradise, since the corresponding coordinates were already set in this world.
