Chapter 1533

The purple-haired woman's hand pulled out. In her hand was a ring inlaid with a ruby. This was actually not a ruby, but a type of synthetic gemstone made through compression. Only the Holy Healing Church had this technology, so it was used for anti-counterfeiting.

The squad leader didn't go to take the ring handed over by the White Witch Aini. He signaled a large, burly female soldier to take it. This represented respect; after all, Aini had carried the ring close to her body, and it would carry her body temperature.

The female soldier quickly verified the authenticity of the ring and nodded to the squad leader. Seeing this scene, Aini smiled, appearing very easygoing.

"Take her!"

The squad leader gave a sharp shout, and dozens of soldiers swarmed over, surrounding Aini.

"Is this a unique welcome ceremony?"

'Aini's' gaze swept around.

"Heh, although your forgery technique is very superb, and you wrapped a layer of syrup on the synthetic stone, a fake is a fake after all."

The squad leader sneered and casually crushed the ring in his hand.

"Oh my, so that's how it is."

The White Witch 'Aini' raised her hands again and was taken away by several soldiers with a smile on her face. Soon, the squad leader confirmed her identity. Her name was Melody, a White Witch, a con artist...

Not to mention other aspects, Su Xiao couldn't help but look at this White Witch's courage with new eyes. Running to Holy Healing City to commit fraud—this was not something an ordinary person would dare to do.

As soon as Su Xiao approached Holy Healing City, he sensed several very strong auras. One-on-one, he didn't fear these people, but if he were besieged, whether he could leave the city alive was an unknown. And this was only the power of the Holy Healing Church on the surface. Since the Holy Healing Church had developed to this extent, how could it not have high-end combat power?

Holy Healing City did not reject White Witches, but all White Witches entering the city had to undergo strict interrogation. If a White Witch lived in Holy Healing City for more than half a year, she would be granted proof of identity, and from then on, she wouldn't have to worry about the troubles caused by her witch identity, provided she didn't use her abilities to harm commoners.

Su Xiao entered the city with the crowd. Although his goal was the Holy Healing Church, he also had to understand this place first. If the Holy Healing Church was reliable, joining it and getting a Witch Hunter identity wouldn't be bad; it would be very convenient for acting.

When he wanted to quickly understand this city, Su Xiao used the simplest and fastest method. After asking the commoners on the street, Su Xiao headed straight in one direction.

One hour later, in the prison of Holy Healing City, inside a filthy cell.

Melody stood in front of the iron bars. She had severe mysophobia, so she would never sit on that bench full of suspicious objects.

"Hey, woman~"

A laugh so low it made one's hair stand on end came from the next cell. The corners of Melody's mouth curled up. She stepped to the iron bars on the side of the cell. A withered arm covered in filth reached toward her, but unfortunately, it swiped past her.

"Little mouse, am I beautiful?"

Melody gave a flirtatious wink to the prisoner in the next cell. This thin, gaunt man who had been imprisoned for nearly two years swallowed hard.

"Come here."

Melody curled her fingers. She was just bored and was teasing the prisoner next door to pass the time. If she guessed correctly, she would be living here for more than 3 weeks.

The gaunt prisoner next door pressed his body against the bars, the veins on his palms bulging. Unfortunately, his fingertips were still half a meter away from Melody.

"If you dare to kill him, you'll have to be imprisoned here for at least 30 years."

In front of the wooden table outside the cell, a middle-aged guard spoke. He glanced at Melody. Seeing his gaze, Melody subconsciously took a few steps back. She could be certain that this was a retired old Witch Hunter.

"Sorry."

Melody didn't dare to tease her cellmate anymore. She sighed. Her long-planned plan to enter the city had not only failed, but she also had to face imprisonment. But even so, Melody remained elegant. Her creed was that one could lose their life, but one must maintain elegance.

Just at this moment, with a 'Clang!', the big iron gate of the prison was pushed open. Several guards entered first, all of them wearing smiles.

"This gentleman, please come in."

"Watch the steps."

Welcomed by several guards, Su Xiao, Bubu Wang, and Amu walked into the prison. Facts proved that spending money made one the boss.

"Mr. Kukuline Bai Ye, please wait a moment."

A guard walked quickly toward the inside of the prison. As for the title 'Kukuline Bai Ye', it was a title Su Xiao had used in a war world. The codename 'Bai Ye' actually had no special meaning. When Su Xiao was training in the Pirate World, he just casually said a title that didn't feel out of place, and he had continued to use it ever since.

And in the Dark Crow World, Kukuline Bai Ye was clearly easier for people to accept. So-called 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do'.

Accompanied by several attentive guards, Su Xiao arrived in front of a cell.

"Melody, someone has paid your ransom. What a lucky person."

A bearded guard opened the cell door, signaling that Melody could leave the prison.

"Me?"

Melody pointed at herself in confusion.

"Who paid my ransom?"

Melody was very confused; she had no friends in Holy Healing City.

"Of course it's this generous gentleman. Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and come out."

The guard's tone was a bit impatient. Hearing his words, Melody's gaze turned to Su Xiao. Just at the first glance, she could tell that Su Xiao was not a good person.

Melody had survived in the cracks between major forces since she was a child, so she was very good at reading people. Although Su Xiao was smiling, Melody felt that if she were ransomed out of prison by Su Xiao, it would definitely not be a good thing.

"Can I stay here for a few more days? The environment here is actually not bad."

While Melody was speaking, a mouse scurried past her feet. Melody, who had severe mysophobia, turned pale.

"Old guy, did you torture her?"

The young guard turned to look at the middle-aged guard. The other party's origin was mysterious, and he was extremely disgusted with witches.

No one answered the young guard's words. The old Witch Hunter was sleeping soundly, still clutching a wine bottle in his arms.

"Mr. Kukuline Bai Ye, I wonder what your relationship is..."

While the young guard was speaking, Su Xiao patted his shoulder, and several gold coins slid into his bosom along his collar. The guard's expression changed, and after reaching out to touch his inner lapel, his expression immediately relaxed.

"You, come out!"

The young guard suddenly had 'intermittent amnesia'. Seeing this scene, Melody took a few more steps back.

"Don't come over..."

Several guards remained unmoved.

"Help..."

After Melody shouted for at least five minutes, she was tired of shouting. Su Xiao and several guards stood in front of the cell door, looking at her with smiles. At this moment, Melody realized the severity of the situation.

"This is my cousin."

"Liar, I'm clearly older than you."

"Oh, so it's Mr. Bai Ye's cousin. Excuse my rudeness earlier."

"Hey, are you listening to me? I don't know him. By the way, he must be from the slave manor, yes, he must be."

Melody interrupted, but she still tried hard to maintain her elegance. Unfortunately, several guards seemed to have become deaf. This was the effect of 10 gold coins each; it was the shiny gold coins that blocked their ears.

"This cousin of mine, she was traumatized when she was young, and her brain is a bit..."

"I understand, I understand..."

The young guard leaned in front of Su Xiao and said in a low voice: "Don't cause any big trouble, otherwise it won't look good for any of us."

"Sorry for the trouble earlier."

Su Xiao certainly knew the attitude of these guards. He first paid a ransom of 70 gold coins, which was almost equal to the price of a death-row prisoner, and then tipped each of them 10 gold coins, including the old Witch Hunter.

The law of the Holy Healing Church was just like this. As long as it didn't involve a Black Witch or more than three human lives, other charges could be solved with ransom. This was called 'penitence money'.
