Chapter 1536: Unexpected

Holy Healing City, city center.

A carriage drove down the street, dust flying. The carriage stopped beside Su Xiao, and several men and women jumped off. Their clothing varied, and their weapons were strange and varied; some carried hooks and crossbows, and others even carried anchor-shaped weapons on their backs.

Several men and women walked toward a magnificent building. This building was the headquarters of the Holy Healing Church. Although magnificent, it was slightly old and clearly had some years on it; some parts of the outer wall had begun to weather.

The first floor of the Holy Healing Church was open to the public, while the areas above the first floor were only open to internal personnel. It was evening, so when Su Xiao walked into the lobby of the Holy Healing Church, the lobby was empty.

A large wooden board was embedded in the wall on one side of the lobby, with wanted posters of varying ages nailed to it; some of the paper on the wanted posters had already turned yellow.

Although the lobby was several hundred square meters, the furnishings were simple. The front inner side was the staircase leading to the second floor, the left side was the bulletin board, and the right side was the commission office. The commission office was responsible for accepting news provided by civilians, bounty intelligence, etc.

A blonde girl sat behind the window of the commission office. She kept a smile on her face, but from the way she glanced at the spring-driven clock from time to time, she should be getting off work soon.

Su Xiao came to the window, and the blonde girl stood up politely.

"Hello, may I ask what you need?"

The girl's voice was crisp and polite, clearly having undergone professional training.

"I want to join the Holy Healing Church."

"Is that so? Please wait a moment."

The girl picked up a wooden board, which had been doodled black. Paper in this world belonged to precious items, so when accepting civilian commissions, these types of reusable writing boards were used.

"You need to provide proof of identity first, then wait for the monthly Holy Day. As long as you are pious enough, you will definitely be able to join the Holy Healing Church."

The girl's tone was gentle; she would repeat similar remarks more than a dozen times a day.

"With this thing, I should be able to become a witch hunter."

Su Xiao threw a small bag into the window. The girl felt quite helpless in her heart and sighed. She would encounter this situation many times every week; not everyone could become a witch hunter.

"Sir, if you want to become a witch hunter, you must have received relevant training since you were 6 years old..."

Out of politeness, the girl opened the cloth bag while speaking, and several scorching orange-red crystals slid out.

"This is..."

The smile on the girl's face faded, and she touched the orange-red crystal pieces with her fingers.

"The carrier after the incarnation manifests?"

As a civil servant + front desk ++ customer service of the Holy Healing Church, she certainly recognized this kind of crystal. This was a crystal that could only be obtained after an elemental incarnation was shattered, and it required shattering the incarnation while the witch was still alive to possibly obtain this thing.

"Where did you get this?"

"Slaughtered a witch; her incarnation left this behind after it shattered."

Su Xiao had no proof of identity, but he had killed two witches, one of which was in a public place.

"Please wait a moment."

The girl picked up the cloth bag, stood up, and walked into the wooden door behind her. Su Xiao waited for about 10 minutes, and the blonde girl walked down the stairs from the second floor with an old man.

This old man wore a white robe and held a metal cane in his hand. Su Xiao could be sure that this thing was a weapon.

"Lord Holy Councilor, it is precisely this gentleman..."

"I know."

The white-robed old man had a very severe hunchback. He leaned on his cane and came to Su Xiao.

"In the world... there really is such a monster."

The white-robed old man looked Su Xiao up and down, his tone full of wonder.

"Are you an alien?"

The old man grinned. Only two of his front teeth were intact; the other teeth were either broken at the root or only half-length remained.

"Not at all, I come from the North."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Is that 'bear' in the North still alive?"

The bear in the old man's mouth referred to the North's Winter King.

"Bear?"

Although Su Xiao knew what the old man was asking, he did not show it.

"Hehehe, forget it if you don't know. You want to become a witch hunter?"

"That's right."

"Good, then you are a witch hunter now."

The white-robed old man laughed again. Similar types are more likely to notice similar types. The reason he called Su Xiao a monster earlier was because this old guy was also a similar existence.

"Sherry, help him handle the procedures."

"Lord Holy Councilor, this..."

"Do as I say."

"Yes."

The girl Sherry lowered her head and agreed. She couldn't understand this Holy Councilor's thoughts. It could be said that this Holy Councilor's way of handling things was very seasoned. Just by meeting, he noticed the blood aura on Su Xiao and the dangerous feeling Su Xiao gave off.

In the eyes of this old man named Carmen, no matter what Su Xiao's purpose was, he was prepared to let the other party join the Holy Healing Church first. If he came sincerely, he would naturally welcome him; if he had ulterior motives, it didn't matter. Keeping the threat in sight was much better than letting the threat remain in the dark.

"I am Carmen, your guide."

The white-robed old man stretched out his withered hand, and Su Xiao also stretched out his hand. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang behind him raised an eyebrow, meaning: "Hello, old man, my name is View-Blocking, and I have a little brother called Positioning-Blocking (Amu)."

"Little guy, you are also quite good."

Carmen turned his head and smiled at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang as well. Those turbid old eyes seemed to have discovered something.

Carmen left quickly, while Su Xiao followed Sherry to handle the relevant procedures for a witch hunter. These procedures were much simpler than imagined: a document and a ring embedded with a white gemstone.

【Hint: The hunter has joined the Holy Healing Church.】

【The hunter has become a "Witch Hunter."】

【Special Reputation Mission: Witch Hunter (2/10) has changed; the obtained title is significantly enhanced.】

【Because the hunter has joined the Holy Healing Church, if a Black Witch is successfully killed, the hunter will gain Holy Healing Church reputation.】

【Current Reputation: 0/100 (White Tier); Witch Hunters are divided into three tiers: White, Black, and Red.】

【The hunter has joined the Holy Healing Church and can use the following facilities: Library (located on the second floor of the Holy Healing Church), Faction Shop (located on the fourth floor; must be promoted to Black Tier to enter the area where the Faction Shop is located), Weapon Forging Workshop (standard weapons forged for free).】

Joining the Holy Healing Church and becoming a witch hunter was much simpler than imagined, or rather, the Holy Healing Church was too short of people. As long as one had abilities different from ordinary people, the Holy Healing Church would not reject such talent.

The three levels of witch hunters were simple and crude. The White Tier was called rabbits by witches, as harmless as a little white rabbit; the Black Tier was called night dogs. To witches, Black Tier witch hunters were as elusive as hunting dogs at night.

As for the Red Tier, that was very terrifying. Witches called this level of hunter a blood hunter. Every blood hunter had hunted more than 20 witches and was an expert at hunting witches. ===== CHAPTER 1537 =====
