Chapter 1564: Blood Hunter

Su Xiao walked into the Holy Healing Church headquarters. Compared to the last time he entered here, it was clearly a bit more lively. Several Witch Hunters were standing in front of the bulletin board on the left side of the hall, discussing something. Su Xiao vaguely heard words like "Tier 3 witch" and "cooperation."

Most Witch Hunters of the Holy Healing Church could only hunt Tier 1 or Tier 2 witches alone. To deal with Tier 3 witches, at least five to seven or more White Hunters needed to cooperate, or Black Hunters needed to go. As for Tier 4 witches, they needed the cooperation of Red Hunters, and Tier 5 witches required the Holy Healing Church to convene a Holy Council to gather a large number of Witch Hunters to crusade. Whether it could succeed was still unknown.

White Hunters were the bottom-level combat power of the Holy Healing Church. Most of them were responsible for collecting information and dealing with Tier 1 and Tier 2 witches. Black Hunters belonged to the backbone force; their numbers weren't too few, and each one was experienced. Red Hunters were relatively rare. Most Red Hunters traveled on the Dark Crow Continent. Wherever difficult-to-deal-with witches appeared, they would rush there quickly.

The strongest in the Holy Healing Church were actually not the Red Hunters, but several of the twelve Holy Councilors. They didn't fear Tier 5 witches even when facing them alone.

The few Witch Hunters in front of the bulletin board clearly belonged to White Hunters. Fortunately, there was no power struggle in the Holy Healing Church. There was no superior-subordinate relationship between the three levels of hunters, and they were uniformly managed by the Holy Council.

Su Xiao came to the window on the right side of the hall, where Sherry was explaining something to a middle-aged woman with a smile.

"She is really a witch, I swear, just yesterday, she..."

The more the middle-aged woman spoke, the more excited she became. Sherry in the window was very helpless, but she also maintained a smile.

"Madam, we will handle your feedback carefully. Regarding whether your neighbor, Ms. Sinclair, is a witch, we will definitely investigate seriously."

"But..."

The middle-aged woman still wanted to say something. She looked to be in her forties, but her actual age was only in her early thirties. Commoners in this world were generally old-looking, after all, the medical level was backward.

"Rest assured, Madam, we will definitely handle this matter well."

"Well... alright."

The middle-aged woman was somewhat unwilling. The cause was that she couldn't identify the bitch who seduced her husband as a witch.

After the middle-aged woman left, Sherry lay on the wooden counter in front of her, powerless, her soft hair spread out.

"Spare me~, how could Sinclair the tailor be a witch."

Sherry was very helpless. The position of commission officer at the Holy Healing Church headquarters sounded very good, but most of them were front-desk work. Every day, she would receive some middle-school-aged youths or resentful women, and useful information was one in a thousand.

*Tap, tap, tap, *

The knocking sound made Sherry sit up and tidy her long hair scattered on her chest.

"Hello... eh, it turns out to be Mr. Kuku Lin Bai Ye. You are back, the journey must have been hard."

Sherry smiled at Su Xiao. Facing a Witch Hunter, she no longer smiled officially; after all, they were on the same side.

"Some bounty orders need to be processed."

Su Xiao took out a large roll of bounty orders from his bosom. Seeing this roll of bounty orders, Sherry's mouth twitched. She remembered the scene where Su Xiao accepted all the commissions.

Only a few days had passed since he went back and forth. Sherry remembered that Holy Councilor Carmen's evaluation of Su Xiao was "monster," so she also had some expectations for how many commissions Su Xiao could complete.

Su Xiao pulled out over a dozen sheets from that large roll of bounty orders. Seeing this quantity, Sherry raised an eyebrow.

"Except for these, the bounty for other bounty orders can be settled. These are avatar fragments."

Su Xiao put two large cloth bags into the window, one filled with witch avatar fragments and the other containing blood samples.

Looking at this large roll of bounty orders in front of her, Sherry's mouth twitched. She had already forgotten how many Witch Hunters she had received. Others completed a few bounty orders, but this time it was a large roll. It seemed... the calculation method for bounty orders hadn't been calculated by the roll yet.

"Uh~"

Although Sherry was shocked by the number of witches Su Xiao hunted, she didn't show it. This was the most basic quality of a headquarters commission officer. When she opened the cloth bag, various avatar fragments scattered on the wooden table.

Various elements drifted in the air. Some avatar fragments with dull colors were formed by Tier 1 and Tier 2 witches, carrying different elemental attributes, which were Tier 3 witch avatar fragments. Tier 4 ones were like gems, and as for a piece of avatar fragment that emitted golden light, it was Morisa's relic.

Sherry picked up the avatar fragment filled with light elements inside. Just by holding this thing, she could feel how powerful its owner was before she died. That kind of sharpness, speed, and the feeling of trying to decompose everything made it hard for people not to notice it.

"This... is hers?"

Sherry pulled out a bounty order and placed the golden avatar fragment on it.

"Yes, that's right."

Outside the window, Su Xiao looked sleepy. He was already injured, and coupled with the constant traveling, he was inevitably a bit sleepy. After processing these bounty orders, he would find a clean hotel to have a good sleep, and then have a hot meal.

"Mr. Bai Ye, you... went to West Port?"

"There are more witches there."

"Eh~"

Sherry put all the avatar fragments into the cloth bag and signaled Su Xiao to go upstairs with her. She took Su Xiao to a lounge on the third floor and signaled Su Xiao to wait for a moment before going out.

Less than ten minutes later, an old man with a wrinkled face and a hunchback pushed the door open. He walked into the room limping with a metal cane. Su Xiao hadn't noticed it last time they met, but Holy Councilor Carmen was a lame man.

"You slaughtered Morisa?"

Carmen walked quickly to Su Xiao, looking at Su Xiao with burning eyes.

"Obviously."

"Good, that poisonous thorn is finally dead. How is West Port now?"

Although Carmen's expression was excited, it did not reach the point of losing his composure.

"One castle remains."

"Hahaha, tell me, what did you do to that tumor in West Port..."

Su Xiao briefly explained the situation in West Port to Carmen. He had already guessed why Carmen had this attitude; after all, he was not a veteran Witch Hunter, and Carmen still had to put on a show for the sake of appearances.

"You've worked hard on this journey. As for the bounty..."

Speaking of this, Old Man Carmen smiled, revealing his two remaining teeth.

"It doesn't matter if it can't be paid in full at once."

"I was waiting for those words."

Old Man Carmen waved his hand to signal Sherry to enter the room. Sherry handed a leather bag to Su Xiao. Su Xiao took it and opened it; inside, it was full of glistening gold coins.

After just a glance, Su Xiao placed the leather bag by his feet. Noticing this, Old Man Carmen rubbed his fingers nonchalantly; he had already discovered that Su Xiao had little interest in money.

Was that really the case? Not at all. Su Xiao was no saint. If what was given to him were Paradise Coins, he would certainly keep them safe. As for the gold coins of this world, they counted at most as temporary currency and could not be taken out of this world at all.

"There is one more thing."

Su Xiao spoke, and Carmen looked at him in confusion.

"I should have no problem becoming a Red Hunter now, right?"
