Chapter 149 Communication

"Why is there such a cowardly killer organization?"

Lu He didn't understand very well. In his eyes, the killer organization should be a group of people who are not afraid of anything and will kill anyone for you as long as they give you enough money.

Where are you now, and you are shrinking your head?

"Maybe our actions against the Stuart and Corif families scared them."

Lu He curled his lips and did not ask any more questions. Maybe this is the unique way of survival for these underground organizations.

He waved his hand and signaled Butler Jose to leave.

After Butler Jose left, he closed his eyes slightly and began to sense the spiritual power in his mind bit by bit.

The recovery of mental power was a little faster than expected, and Lu He thought it was probably caused by physical feedback.

From the time he broke through to the knight level to now, his physical body has been strengthening, but the speed of getting stronger is relatively slow. However, the continuous fusion of elven blood in the past few days has caused the speed to increase sharply. This should be the reason for shortening the time for mental recovery.

"26 points, which is the level of an intermediate apprentice, is still a bit low, but it is enough for a short period of time."

Lu He opened his eyes, flicked his fingers, and a wisp of black gas flew out of his fingertips and stayed in the air.

The black air smelled faintly of unpleasant insects.

This is the lingering breath of the curse that caused the death of the original body on the soul fragments.

What he noticed when he first came to his original body, he kept it on his body afterwards, just thinking about exchanging the knowledge of the curse with the owner of the breath after he recovered his mental power.

Now that his mental strength has just recovered, he can't wait.

"I hope you can hold on longer."

Lu He smiled, stretched out his right hand, and began to draw slowly in the air in front of him.

With the gentle strokes of his fingers, traces of pale light gradually remained in the air.

Buzz…

Slowly, the light traces faintly formed a circular talisman array. The talisman array emitted a white light, which connected with the black gas in the air to form a vague witch array.

Circles of black runes slowly surrounded the witch formation.

"Give you the ability to swallow, devour flesh, blood and soul." There was a faint hint of black in Lu He's eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, his mental power slowly spread to the surroundings, and his eyes faintly flashed with black runes.

…

Highland City Thacker neighborhood.

If every place has its dark corners, then Thacker Street is the most chaotic place in Highland City, where prostitutes, human trafficking, gambling, black boxing matches...

As long as you are willing to spend the money, you can find anything here.

In a remote tavern, there were only a few customers drinking, and it seemed that business was not very good.

The atmosphere in the tavern was very strange. There was no talking or drinking, just occasional low-pitched exchanges.

The appearance of the people inside is also quite strange. There are rickety-backed old ladies, charming young women, and young and pure girls. It covers almost girls of all ages, but there are only no men.

"Grandma Tilia, you actually opened the witch hut in Highland City, so you don't have to worry about it being demolished by a group of knights who even have muscles in their brains." A man of about 20 years old walked in outside the tavern. The girl broke the silence.

The girl has a delicate appearance, with long snow-white hair tied behind her head. She wears a white tube top on her upper body, revealing her white waist, and her slender and round legs are tightly wrapped in white trousers.

The most conspicuous thing is her wrists, which have a pair of dark green wooden rings.

"Little Sula, why did you come to my place?" The owner of the tavern was leaning on the counter and recording something. She raised her head and looked at Sula, revealing an old and withered face.

Tilia forced a smile that looked more like crying and brought her a glass of green bubbles liquid.

"I cooperate with a big noble in Highland City, and they cover it up, so don't worry."

"Oh? Which noble dared to take risks and cooperate with our witches? Aren't they afraid of being punished by the noble council?" Sura asked curiously, narrowing his eyes.

Humans are not friendly to witches, even though witches are completely human by blood.

But they were not recognized by humans. Not only did they not recognize them, they also drove them to the desolate land of the far north.

There are many reasons for this. The most important thing is that when humans and aliens were fighting for the land under their feet, the witch did not know why she chose neutrality and did not help the two.

After the war, it became what it is now. It's not that the witch didn't resist, it's just that the knight's sword was too sharp.

Lu He didn't quite agree with this point of view. He thought it was due to the different ideas of witches and knights.

Knights are mainly men. Although there are female knights, they are very few. Women are just embellishments on the road to knighthood.

Witches are the complete opposite. Women occupy the mainstream. In the society of witches, women are the rulers, and men's status is extremely low. It can even be said that they have no status.

He thinks it's this huge cognitive difference that's responsible.

"Tilia, you old woman, stop hiding me. We are just passing by and we won't steal your business." The speaker was a woman wearing brown leather armor. The leather armor was full of scratches and scratches. The signs of wear and tear are not easy to mess with at first glance.

"That's right, Tilia, if you don't say that I won't come to your place to spend the night next time." A silver-haired witch joked.

This tavern is the only stronghold of the witches in the Crescent Empire, where passing witches can rest and exchange information.

If he didn't come here, he would have to walk for several days across the Sarus Federation to get to the Ice Wing Kingdom on the other side to have a base.

"Next time you come, maybe..." Tilia said with a frown, and her face suddenly changed in the middle of her words.

Suddenly, a black light suddenly lit up on her forehead, and wisps of black smoke slowly drifted out from the black light.

The black mist permeated her skin, making her already shriveled body look even more weird.

The sudden vision attracted the attention of the witches.

"Grandma Tilia, what's wrong with you?" Sura asked with concern.

"Tilia, what are you doing?" The silver-haired witch frowned, and she smelled an ominous breath.

Tilia had no time to speak. She was desperately controlling the poisonous insect in her body and soothing its sudden irritable mood. However, the poisonous insect did not know what it was stimulated by, and it did not listen to her command at all, running around in her blood.

Seeing Tilia's increasingly ugly face, the other witches in the tavern realized that something was wrong and surrounded her.

"She seems to have been attacked by the poisonous insect?" The leather armor woman noticed the raised black spots under Tilia's skin, and the black spots were swimming along her blood vessels throughout her body.

"This blood-winged owl soul-eating insect has been fed by Tilia for more than 30 years. It has almost merged with her. The two are connected by life. How could it suddenly lose control?"

"It should be the stimulation of external force!" The silver-haired witch analyzed while looking at the faint black mist covering Tilia's skin.

Puff!

A light sound appeared in the eyes of all the witches.

A black insect with three tentacles crawled out from Tilia's neck.

Ah!!!

Suddenly, Tilia screamed extremely harshly. Countless black insects crawled out of her mouth, eyes, ears...

After crawling out, these black insects still clung to her body tightly, biting and pulling her flesh with their huge mouthparts.

This weird and tragic scene made the witches retreat together.

Soon, Tilia's thighs made a cracking sound, and she couldn't support herself and knelt on the ground. The humming sound in her mouth became more tragic, but it soon became smaller and finally disappeared completely.

"Soros..."

Suddenly, Tilia's head, which was lying on the floor, twisted and stood up at an abnormal angle. After shouting the three words "Soros" from her rotten mouth, she was drowned by the insects.

Finally, the black insects also disappeared. After devouring all of Tilia's things, they turned into black liquid. The liquid was extremely viscous and gathered into a small puddle.

"Is this...backlash?" Sura asked with trembling lips.

In less than half a minute, Tilia was devoured by the insects that appeared inexplicably.

Not only flesh and blood, but even her soul was gone. Only the black dress on the floor was left to prove that she existed.

No one answered, because they didn't know what caused this. In their cognition, the backlash of the poisonous insects could not have such serious consequences.

As for witchcraft, it didn't seem like it, because no witchcraft would be so cruel, so brutal, and so clean.

"Soros... What do the last three words that Grandma Tilia said mean?"

"She must have noticed something unusual. Soros, does anyone know what this is?"

The witches looked at each other. Soros is a very popular name, and it can be found everywhere.

At this time, a voice sounded in the corner of the tavern.

"Highland City, Soros..."

"If I'm not mistaken, it refers to a count noble in Highland City: the Soros family!"

Sura looked at the corner and frowned unconsciously after seeing the person who was speaking clearly.

The person who was speaking was a witch with black tattoos all over her face, and she exuded an unpleasant smell.

These two characteristics indicate that she is a dark witch, a group of witches with radical ideas and bloody means.

"But I don't recommend you to go to this Soros family, because no matter whether it is or not, you can't afford to offend them."

After the dark witch finished speaking, she walked out of the tavern and slowly disappeared into the alley.

...

Lu He held his breath and concentrated his attention, guarding against the opponent's possible counterattack.

Because it was the first time they were communicating, he didn't use a very ruthless hand, giving the other party 20 seconds to react.

Originally, this curse took 15 seconds from the time it was cast to the time it took to take effect. He was worried that the other party wouldn't be able to react, so he extended it by another 5 seconds to give the other party enough time to respond.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Until the sun completely set and there was no reaction, Lu He put away his vigilance.

"Did he use too much force?" He shook his head slightly and turned to walk downstairs.

Let's eat first, there are more important things to do after dinner.

The recovery of mental strength means a lot.
