Chapter 1538: Witch Hunting Journey

Walking out of the Holy Healing Church headquarters, Su Xiao returned to the Locke Inn. Melodie didn't dare to escape, partly because of the "bomb" in her body, and partly because Amu was guarding her.

Just as Su Xiao walked into the inn room, he found Melodie cowering in the corner. The inn's bed and wardrobe had already disappeared. Amu was holding half a wooden stool in his hand. Judging from the situation, if Su Xiao came back any later, Amu would have started dismantling the floor to eat.

"Save, save me."

Melodie was clearly frightened by Amu in his dining state. If Su Xiao didn't come back, Amu might even eat this inn.

Su Xiao seemed to have guessed that this would happen. He threw an oilcloth bag to Amu, which contained various foods he bought, meat and vegetables alike.

"Did you really become a witch hunter?"

After Melodie saw the ring on Su Xiao's little finger, she immediately recognized the source of this thing.

"That's right. From now on, you will hunt witches with me. As remuneration, you get one-fourth of the bounty from the wanted posters."

The price Su Xiao proposed was not low. After witch hunters under the Holy Healing Church killed witches, they could also obtain bounties, but they could only obtain 50%. This related to welfare, basic income, equipment usage, etc.

Even if witch hunters could only obtain 50% of the bounty, it was still more beneficial than outsiders killing witches when calculated overall. They didn't need to bear the maintenance costs of weapons and armor, and travel expenses, food, and lodging were also reimbursed by the Holy Healing Church. Moreover, there was basic salary plus welfare, so the income from wanted posters was actually more like a bonus.

Witch hunter is indeed a profession of licking blood from a knife, but there are no impoverished witch hunters.

"Two-fourths."

Melodie intended to open her mouth like a lion. Su Xiao threw a wanted poster in front of her. After Melodie opened the wanted poster, her pupils shrank, because this was her wanted poster.

"3... 3 silver coins."

Melodie stared straight at the wanted poster between her hands. She seemed to be stimulated. You know, the bounty for a first-stage witch is between 20 and 40 gold coins, and those with strong combat power are calculated separately.

Su Xiao had a wanted poster with the highest bounty, 7000 gold coins, dead or alive. Because the amount was too large, even witch hunters under the Holy Healing Church could obtain the full bounty, not 50%.

What can you do with 7000 gold coins? The answer is to win over thousands of militiamen, buy weapons, build a castle, and gradually develop into a lord of a small territory.

Such a high bounty was, of course, for that fifth-stage witch. Her whereabouts were unknown, and her approximate location was in the west.

All the commissions Su Xiao accepted were commissions from the Central Plains region and the West. These two places were the territory of the Holy Healing Church. Clearly, the Holy Healing Church wanted to clean up the witches in their territory first. As for the south, that was the witch's territory. Once there, witch hunters would become the hunted.

"Why am I wanted, why am I only worth 3 silver coins..."

Melodie muttered to herself. No matter what, she was a third-stage witch. Being wanted for 3 silver coins was too shameful; it would definitely become a laughingstock among her peers.

"You can only get one-fourth. As for your bounty, if you want to be wanted for 1000 gold coins, I can help you realize this wish."

"Not at all, 3 silver coins are quite good."

"Is that so? Then let's move."

"Now?"

"Yes, now."

Su Xiao took Bubu Wang and Amu and walked out of the inn. Melodie hesitated for a moment and had no choice but to follow.

Just walking out of the inn, Melodie saw a carriage. The carriage's cabin was made entirely of metal and was several sizes larger than an ordinary cabin. The animals pulling the carriage were not ordinary horses, but a creature resembling a rhinoceros. These three giant beasts were called "Dokens." After being domesticated by humans, each Doken cost 150 gold coins and only needed a handful of grass per hundred kilometers.

The carriage was customized by the Holy Healing Church. Witch hunters could rest inside the carriage, and the rear interlayer was used for placing weapons.

Su Xiao opened the interlayer behind the carriage. On both sides of the interlayer were various hooks, and below were three shotguns of different specifications. In the iron box on the side were diamonds and gunpowder, respectively.

Not only these things, but kerosene, potent tear gas (large amount of pepper powder + acidic liquid + chili extract), and various items were all available.

Su Xiao grabbed a diamond and, in Melodie's helpless gaze, stuffed the diamond into her mouth.

"What's the feeling?"

"There's a strange taste."

"..."

Experiments proved that witches had no reaction to oral diamonds. This thing should react with the witch's blood, thereby affecting the witch's use of her incarnation.

With a clatter, Su Xiao closed the interlayer behind the carriage and entered the carriage from the side. The interior of the carriage was about two meters wide and three meters long. After the seats were flattened, there was no problem lying down to rest.

Amu sat in front of the carriage as the driver. In fact, there was no need for him to drive the Dokens at all. With Melodie, a witch who could speak to beasts, just giving an order was enough, and these three docile Dokens would move in a fixed direction.

Sitting in the carriage, Su Xiao picked up a stack of wanted posters from the seat beside him. That's right, it was a stack, conservatively estimated to be dozens of them. These were all the wanted posters in the near future.

Not only that, Su Xiao also obtained a map from the Holy Healing Church. This thing was absolutely a strategic material. The Holy Healing Church had explicit regulations that even if a witch hunter died in battle, they had to destroy this thing before dying.

This map recorded 60% of the Dark Crow Continent's area. What was even more commendable was that this was a map from 6 years ago. Do not think that time was long ago. With the technology of this world, this was already a very remarkable map update frequency.

The carriage moved forward and soon drove to the city gate. Seeing the seal on the carriage, the city guards let them pass directly, even if the sensing crystal in their hands was warning that there was a witch in the carriage.

Melodie poked her head out of the carriage window and smiled at the squad leader who caught her when entering the city. The next moment, a hand grabbed Melodie's back collar and dragged her back. Seeing this scene, the squad leader's mouth curled up.

The purpose of Su Xiao's trip was the Fenlu human settlement 30 kilometers away. This was a territory under the jurisdiction of a White Witch. Of course, this White Witch paid a large amount of taxes to the Holy Healing Church every year. According to local intelligence organization news, there was a Black Witch in the Fenlu settlement.

Su Xiao handed a wanted poster to Melodie.

"This witch, do you recognize her?"

"Of course, Feast Witch Keith. No witch doesn't know her notoriety. This old monster has a habit of eating people. It is said that she likes the flesh and blood of White Witches the most."

"Just right, this time the target is her."

"You wouldn't be thinking of..."

Melodie swallowed her saliva. She had already guessed something.

Su Xiao's witch-hunting journey began. Now he was just a White Tier witch hunter, and White Tier was contemptuously called a rabbit by witches, as harmless as a little white rabbit. ===== CHAPTER 1539 =====
