Chapter 1553: Grey Cardinal
— Cough-cough-cough - " clearing her throat, the witch propped herself up on her hands. She looked very pitiful, but earlier, in the castle, she looked very confident and domineering.
Standing in front of her, Su Xiao chopped her incarnation into pieces, then crouched down in front of her and stabbed her stomach through with his sword.
— I ask, you answer.
— Good, good, " she said immediately. She could see that Su Xiao was not a hero with a strong sense of justice.
— There are other witches in town?
— No.
Her body gradually began to tremble more and more, causing Su Xiao to take out a painkiller and inject it directly into her vein.
— There were three of you?
— Right.
Su Xiao frowned. Even if the three of them were rank three magic witches, to dare to destroy such a city...
— Who gave the order?
— Lady... lady of the world.
— The world? Su Xiao asked and took out a stack of wanted notices.
In the end, he found one witch with this name, for her head was given 580 gold.
Mira was an elemental witch of the fourth rank, with a bounty placed on her head due to the fact that she managed to destroy four cities.
A fourth-rank elemental witch could destroy a city, and a fifth-rank elemental witch could create a natural disaster.
— Where is she?
— Farm outside the city... kill... me.
The painkillers stopped working for this witch very quickly, which was quite surprising.
The long blade flashed and released her from the pain. Although they didn't make any agreement, they both understood that once the witch answered all the questions, Su Xiao would grant her a quick death.
All this time, he had been wondering why the rank three witches dared to try to destroy a large city, and as it turned out, they just had a patron, it was because of him that they were so fearless.
After realizing this, Su Xiao checked the notifications.
By eliminating the three witches, he obtained a total of 1.3% of the Research Source. It was very difficult to get it. For one witch, he was given less than half a percent of this source.
His talent was already close to the limit of 200 mana points per world, and his reputation in the Holy Healing Church had significantly increased by another 260 points. They gave out a reputation based not on the witch's strength, but on her reputation. The more famous a witch was, the more reputation the Church of Holy Healing received for eliminating her.
[Notice: A Hunter's reputation in the Church of Holy Healing has reached 320/100 (white rank), and a Hunter can raise his witch Hunter rank at the church's headquarters or at any branch of the organization..]
After that, Su Xiao looked at the last notification.
[1. You will receive 2 gold coins and 1 Legendary treasure Chest.
2. Magic resistance (for this world only). Increases resistance to curses and witches ' magic skills by 25% (there is already 40%, with each subsequent choice the increase will be smaller and smaller).).]
Su Xiao originally thought that killing a certain type of witch would allow him to choose resistance to the power of that particular witch, but as it turned out, he could only get resistance to the same power.
After hesitating for a bit, he ended up asking Rai and after getting an answer, he decided to take 1 legendary chest and improved his resistance by 10%. It was the smartest choice. Since Heaven had started offering him this stability, it only meant that he would encounter extremely powerful witches in the future.
If he was in a derivative world, Su Xiao certainly wouldn't choose resistance, but he entered this world at his own expense for the sake of obtaining one thing.
After collecting the blood, prints, and fragments of the three witches ' incarnations, he asked the city officials who arrived about the location of one farm and immediately left the city.
Since the entire fight was taking place in the city, Mira of course already knew who won and who lost.
Now, it all depended on whether Su Xiao was fast enough or not.
When he arrived at a farm about a kilometer from the city, an unpleasant smell hit him.
The closer he got to the farm, the worse the stench got, and Bubtney ended up wearing a gas mask.
Jumping out of the carriage, Su Xiao signaled Amu to lead the way while Bubtni disappeared.
As for Melody, she had to clean up and wait for them in the carriage.
On the farm, the corpses of cows were piled in a pile. If Su Xiao understood everything correctly, then Mira used them as fuel to breed those bugs.
There were three wooden houses on this farm. With a quick check, he found out that there was no one inside.
When Amu knocked down the first door, nothing happened.
All the houses were empty, but on the floor of one of the houses, there was a black and red pattern that looked like an alchemy array.
After looking at it, Su Xiao realized that it was with the help of it that those black bugs were created.
[Notification: Hunter activated a side quest.
Origin of black parasites.
Difficulty Level: Level 33.

Task Failure Penalty: Forfeit 50,000 Paradise Coins. If there is a shortage of coins in the account, the contents of your inventory/current equipment will be withdrawn for the missing amount..]
After reading the assignment, Su Xiao immediately accepted it. The source of the parasites was right in front of him, all he had to do was find Mira.
If he had to look for her in any other situation, he would have taken a lot of grief, but now there was a mountain of evidence right in front of him.
Blue smoke began to spread out from Su Xiao's hand and gradually enveloped his body. The devouring core was fully activated, and the world in his field of vision changed. It became black and white.
A very light green haze floated in the air and gradually disappeared into the distance.
— Bubtney, Amu, get in the carriage and follow me.
— Woof.
With a bang, the floor under Su Xiao's feet shattered along with the array.
He quickly disappeared from Bubtni and Amu's line of sight. The carriage was suitable for traveling long distances, but when it came to tracking down someone, it was obviously necessary to do it on your own two feet
Su Xiao ran straight through the green haze. Such a trace could only be left from a large accumulation of vital energy, for example, due to the accumulation of the vital forces of half the inhabitants of one city.
Three hours later, he arrived at a small town, another gathering place for humans, but even though it was called that, it wasn't really run by witches or humans, and it didn't have high walls.
A railroad ran through this small town, and there was a train station in the town itself.
Thanks to the railway, merchants often passed through this city.
The closer he got to the city, the thicker the trail became. Apparently, Mira finally got tired and decided to slow down. She might not have thought that she was being chased by someone all this time, after all, she left as soon as she saw that those three witches had run into the wrong witch hunter.
Following the trail, Su Xiao arrived at the train station.
After questioning the middle-aged lady at the ticket counter, he found out that the train had only left ten minutes ago.
Now everything was very simple. Once the witch boarded the train, it meant only one thing: she was beginning to lose her guard.
Half an hour later, a train appeared in Su Xiao's field of vision, black smoke pouring out every now and then.
Speeding up, he jumped onto the train.
Somewhere on this train right now was a fourth-rank elemental witch, Mira.
