Weird Star Witch

Rudolph worked very hard to eliminate several Hive Priests before returning to the police station again.

"Did I see it wrong!" Rudolph didn't believe his eyes:

"Sergeant, are you studying? How does the word "study" have anything to do with you! Sheriff, what is that in your hand?"

Shouldn't there be oysters on the Sheriff's desk? How could something other than a book appear? And this is a huge book, thicker than a fist.

The page of the book was opened, and there were densely packed parameter charts and formulas inside. Rudolph glanced at it and couldn't understand it at all.

"Are you...writing a paper?"

Sheriff Claude had a sad look on his face. He had just written a topic: "Research on Cold Forging Technology of Low Carbon Steel Under the Dominance of Alchemical Power".

There were crumpled papers scattered around, and it was obvious that the paper was in trouble.

"Why, Rudolf, do you understand papers too?"

Rudolf shook his head: "I know every word you wrote, but these words should not be connected together. They exceed the boundaries of my cognition and hit the blind spot of my knowledge."

Sheriff Claude sighed. He wanted to go further. If he wanted to be promoted, he had to go to the laboratory of a level 3 alchemist for further training. Only those alchemists' laboratories had enough alchemical iron for him to He was familiar with the new material.

There are thresholds for further study. If you want to knock on the door of the alchemy laboratory, you must first have several published papers, and you must prove to the alchemists that their newly recruited researchers have certain research capabilities.

He can still try if he is asked to write a few papers on female psychology. How does he know about this damn cold forging?

I pieced it together and got some ideas, hoping not to be torn into pieces by "Acta Fabro Alchemy" and sent back.

"Forget it, don't talk about these troublesome things." Sheriff Claude pushed the reference books and papers aside, and he felt much better. He asked: "Is there any clue about the insect plague?"

Rudolph handed the investigation report to the police chief, who quickly read through it.

"In other words, we discovered it too late. It's already the end of May. Even if we launch a large-scale operation to eliminate the insect hive priests, won't we be able to change the outcome of this year's grain harvest?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

Seeing the report submitted by Rudolph, Sheriff Claude was also helpless.

"Then let's continue the work of cleaning up the insect nest priests, and at least give the farmers an attitude...

Fortunately, the level 1 Hive Priest's attack power is not strong, so you should be able to deal with it. "

Sheriff Claude had a headache. According to the reported insect infestation, even if Rudolph was exhausted to death, it would be impossible to clear out all the insect hive priests within a few months.

"Bullets, kerosene."

Rudolf simply stated his request briefly.

Sheriff Claude readily agreed to these requests:

"I'll make you some more bullets, give you the kerosene, and give you the bonus. I've been a little busy lately, so I haven't gone out. As you can see, my affairs are much more difficult to deal with than the Insect's Hive Priest."

Rudolf nodded. Since a poor harvest was a foregone conclusion, it would be of little use for the Sheriff to take action now.

He has a hard life. He has to find a way to collect more relics, find an opportunity to make them into witchcraft, and slowly sell them to the Black Gold Exchange.

You can't sell too much at once, otherwise you will be targeted.

After Rudolph left the door of the police station, Ichabod and Kevin stood by the parapet on the rooftop of the police station, watching Rudolph go away.

Kevin was a little confused: "Ichabod, why don't we go directly to Sheriff Claude?"

"Don't alert the enemy."

"How can this be considered as alerting the enemy? This is a wizard. Do you need to hesitate? I suspect that Rudolph is a wizard."

"That's the problem. It's just your suspicion. Without evidence, of course you can't alarm them."

Kevin was in disbelief: "Them? Doesn't Sheriff Claude also have an affair with the wizard Rudolph?"

Ichabod explained patiently:

"If you have a conflict with a person, don't expect his father or son, or his friends to be on your side. Even if you are just and right, you will only suffer the consequences. Their targeting.

Sheriff Claude and Rudolph have a good relationship, which is something the entire police department knows.

We must get very sufficient evidence and put the evidence on Sheriff Crowder's desk to be effective and to make Sheriff Crowder have nothing to say.

Kevin, do your divination results prove anything? "

Kevin shook his head. He used the corpse of the Hive Priest to do a divination, but what confused him was that he couldn't get any results from the divination.

The results of divination cannot point to a certain person or a certain direction.

Kevin said seriously: "This is what makes me worried and anxious. There are apostles above level 3, or very powerful witchcraft, blocking the fate. Things are more serious than I imagined."

Ichabod said:

"Kevin, you are always impulsive and always rely on your intuition. This is a common problem between your words and spirits.

But you must be careful this time. There is a wizard in the police station. If there is no conclusive evidence, Sheriff Claude will send you to jail for the sake of his reputation.

Let's look for it again. I failed to track down the Black Queen last time. I thought about it. Sometimes, your divination ability will be targeted and it may not work.

We need to be like a patrolman, slowly looking for evidence and working through a closed chain of evidence. This is a good supplementary method.

Your divination ability also plays a big role in finding evidence. "

The two witch hunters watched Rudolph go away, but every move they made was clearly seen by a sparrow.

This is Rudolph's home court. Rudolph will look at his spiritual pet pocket watch whenever no one is around. He is a wizard and therefore very vigilant.

Rudolf in the distance closed the spiritual pet crystal. He did not look back, but he was very confused. What were the two witch hunters doing on the rooftop?

Their eyes seem to be looking at themselves?

The great botanist and bull terrier imitator once said that when you doubt whether a melon is ripe, the melon is no longer ripe in your heart.

Once suspicion arises, the crime is immediately established.

When Rudolf begins to suspect two witch hunters, he needs to be really careful.

There is no groundless suspicion. You must allocate some energy and pay attention to the next moves of these two people.

Soon, the full moon of June is coming. The full moon means the monthly full moon worship in Lemang Town, and the monthly festival is coming.

The people in the town were waiting in the square. When they saw Butcher the Butcher and the dog getting on the altar again, they burst into boos.

"It's a werewolf again!"

"Can you change it?"

"For 5 or 6 months in a row, they are all werewolves!"

···

The first time you watch a vicious dog eating a werewolf, it can stimulate everyone's nerves, but after such stimulation happens more often, it gradually becomes less interesting.

Butcher Butcher, nearly 2 meters tall, faced the crowd's boos and helplessly spread his big hands.

He was originally here to do voluntary labor. It was tiring to chop up a werewolf in one night, and now he had to be booed.

He took out a lighter from his arms and took out the hidden torch from the hem of the butcher's apron.

At this moment, the onlookers didn't know what Butcher was going to do.

Butcher lit the torch, and the flames lit up the stage.

Then, he waved the torch and pointed it suddenly to the other end of the altar.

At this time, the people on the other side of the altar also lit torches, lighting up the place.

It turned out that at the other end of the altar, some people were piling firewood, and others were carrying the pillars of the torture rack.

"Burning! Oh! It's burning!" The audience was finally satisfied. It seems that there are two sacrifices this month!

Butcher Butcher was also very satisfied with his performance.

Not long after, people from the police station escorted two sacrifices.

One is a werewolf with no originality, and the other is a man with his upper body exposed and a huge black beetle drawn on his chest.

People nearby saw the man's arms, which were tightly pressed together, and there were thick, unknown deep holes, and they took two steps back in fright.

Rudolph, as captain, waved to those around him.

Everyone in the town likes Rudolph very much. They all know that Sheriff Claude is a very lazy person. The reason why there are constant sacrifices in the town is because of the model worker Rudolph.

And Rudolf paid for whatever he consumed, whether it was going to a tavern, shopping, or going to the baths.

Under his leadership, the trainee patrol officers of the police station also behaved in this way. This made the people in the town think that Rudolph was simply the best patrol captain.

In the cheers of the town residents, the werewolf was placed on Butcher Butcher's huge chopping board.

The man with the black beetle was taken to the stake.

At this time, the red priest came out and presided over the full moon sacrifice in June.

From the mouth of the red priest Mr. Pulley, the residents of the town learned that the man who was about to be burned at the stake was one of the murderers of the recent insect plague!

Apostle of heresy! The priest of the Evil God's Insect Nest!

At this moment, the residents were extremely excited.

The price of bread has been rising for a long time. It is said that it is due to food shortages. The autumn grain harvest may be poor, so the supply has become less.

It turned out that someone deliberately kept aphids.

It was also the first time that the residents of the town learned that there was an evil god called the Insect's Nest, which specialized in raising various pests.

The red priest Mr. Puli glanced at Rudolph and said to the people in the square:

"Our patrol captain, Rudolf, came up with a brilliant idea after the wizard was burned at the stake last November. After I learned about the idea, I felt it made perfect sense.

Hanging upside down is more suitable for burning at the stake!

Let's hang him upside down and admire his kicking feet!

Let's hang him upside down and let him burn even more thoroughly!

From today on, the execution at the stake in Leman Town will be carried out by hanging upside down! "

The square suddenly erupted into violent cheers. This month's executions at the stake had new tricks.

Rudolf looked around awkwardly to see when the red priest had read the confirmation sheet he wrote on the results of the burning.

Amid the cheers of the people, the priest of the Evil God's Hive was hung upside down and tied to the stake.

This time, his head will be fully cooked.

Rudolf didn't want his identity as a wizard to be exposed, and he didn't want his head to be burned to a crisp.

Rudolph couldn't bear to continue looking, as if he was the one who was burning. He turned to look at Yvonne's condition and found that she was in good condition.

As she became more accustomed to her werewolf powers, her spells of sanity became shorter and shorter.

Now she only loses her mind for an hour in the second half of every full moon night.

The dogs began to growl, a fire lit up at the stake, and Rudolf waited for the full moon to murmur.

"The blood is so sweet..."

Rudolf heard this mumbling every month. He searched for several months but couldn't find who this apostle was.

"Break out of the cocoon, my little cuties..."

This sentence also appeared frequently, and no one knew who was speaking.

Judging from this mumbling, Rudolf suspected that there had always been a hive priest in Leman Town, and he had been planning something.

At this moment, a new mumbling made Rudolf's pupils suddenly dilate.

"Rudolf... wizard..."

Cold sweat instantly soaked Rudolf's head.

He looked around, looking for the source of the mumbling.

However, what made him helpless was that he was surrounded by cheering residents and a carnival crowd.

He didn't know who was saying he was a wizard!

Was he exposed? Where was he exposed? When was he exposed?

At this moment, Rudolf thought a lot.

The busy but comfortable atmosphere of the police station, the delicious beer in the tavern, the warm spring water in the bathhouse, the residents who greeted him on the road...

He looked at the stake, where the Level 1 Hive Priest was festering and charred.

He didn't want to see such a day for himself, and he didn't want the people in the town and the police station to watch him burn to death with relish.

If he didn't have the full moon whisper, he wouldn't even know that he was being investigated.

If his wizard identity was exposed, he felt that no one would pity him except Yvonne.

"What's wrong, Captain?"

Yvonne saw Rudolph's pale face and felt a little strange.

"It's okay, Yvonne, let's go to the old place later to help you spend the full moon night."

After the sacrifice, when leaving the square, Rudolph met Ichabod and Kevin who also left here.

Kevin smiled: "Patrolman Rudolph, your suggestion is really good! It's a genius idea. The burning at the stake has been around for thousands of years, and no one has ever thought of hanging heretics upside down to execute them. It's a really good idea."

Kevin stared at Rudolph's head and felt that Rudolph was really brave. Wasn't he afraid that he would be burned upside down?

Rudolph just smiled and said: "There's no way. There have been many disasters in Leman Town recently. I'll do something new to make everyone happy."

"Captain Rudolph, can you get off work?"

"No, I have to bury two sacrifices first. In the second half of the night, I have to patrol the periphery of the town. It's not peaceful recently. There are either werewolves or evil gods around."

Kevin heard that Rudolph was so busy, and sighed: "You are very hard-working. I think Sheriff Claude should give you his position."

"I think so too. I hope you can say it in front of the sheriff.

By the way, Kevin, you have been in Leman Town for almost a year. It's been a month. Have you found the cause of the werewolf riot? "

Kevin shook his head:

"Unfortunately, no. All the werewolves we captured, whether they were level 1 or level 2, said that they came to Leman Town under the leadership of the alpha wolf.

We can't be sure what level the biggest "alpha wolf" is.

Alas, the Judiciary has continuously raised the response level of the werewolf riot. In the 5 or 6 towns around Fabro City, there are witch hunters investigating werewolves.

I think Ichabod and I can't leave for the time being. "

Rudolph heard a bad news. It seems that these two people are not going to leave for the time being.

After a few more jokes, the few people went their separate ways.

Two in one
