Chapter 1445 A Meeting Between Wind and Clouds

Hao Ren turned his head expressionlessly and looked at the wizard who always kept his face hidden in the shadow of the hood. He could not see the other person's whole face clearly. He could only see a thin, unshaven chin emerging from under the hood. Exposed along.

"What do you mean?" Hao Ren said calmly.

"I'm very good at observing people's hearts." The wizard tilted his head slightly, and his voice seemed to have been processed by magic, so it sounded like a hollow echo. "I can see that you are not eager to find a place of refuge, so you are not interested in those people." The 'City of Shadows' mentioned by the witch is not of much interest, you are approaching them for something else."

Hao Ren looked curiously at the wizard who suddenly came over to speak, and suddenly shrugged: "Whatever you say, everyone got together for their own benefit anyway. No one has any secrets these days. The reason and process It doesn’t matter, as long as the results are as expected.”

"You're right," the hooded wizard seemed to chuckle, "The reason and process are not important, as long as the results are in line with expectations - so Mrs. Mary and the others don't actually care about your origin and purpose, they just need It’s just the strength of you and your partner.”

Hao Ren felt that this wizard was weird more and more, so he asked straight to the point: "Isn't that why you came to me to talk about this?"

"Have you ever heard of the Night's Watch of Harroun?"

Hao Ren was stunned, feeling that he heard a completely unfamiliar word, and it seemed that the wizard in front of him had misunderstood something: did he regard this guy who suddenly appeared as a colleague in a certain field? Or is it someone who has the same goal as him?

Hao Ren was not sure whether the "Haroun's Night Watch Knight" was related to Vivian's sleeping place, so he mumbled and said, "Is this an important question?"

"No, it seems that you don't know about this," the hooded wizard simply ended the topic after seeing Hao Ren's reaction, "Well, maybe you are not the 'traveler' I imagined. I'm sorry for occupying you. time - but it was still a pleasure to be able to converse with a powerful wizard."

After saying this, the strange wizard turned around and was about to walk away. Seeing this, Hao Ren quickly called from behind: "Hey, wait! I don't know your name yet - I can't keep calling you." Hood?"

The hooded wizard paused for a moment, and after a moment his voice drifted over: "While walking outside, it is inconvenient to reveal my real name. You can call me Barn. This is a common alias I use in the world of black magic, and it is also what I tell the witches. name."

After this Barn walked away, Hao Ren curled his lips and said, "Tsk tsk... I was still thinking that I am already an actor... I hate dealing with such a perceptive guy. Why are you so smart?"

"Landlady, I'm full!" Lily jumped over without any warning. The husky girl got full happiness in the eating process. At this time, her face was shiny and she said, "Hey, Landlady, you look so good." Strange, what happened?"

"Nothing, just engaging in a no-prize quiz with a mysterious guy," Hao Ren shook his head, and then suddenly thought that although the husky in front of him didn't understand anything, he was at least a person who had lived for a century, and usually did all kinds of messy things. I also read a lot of books, and I might know some strange things, so I added, "By the way, do you know about an organization or term called 'Haroun's Night Watch Knights'?"

"Haroun's Night Watch Knights? It sounds like someone's thug team," Lily thought for a moment and shook her head simply, "I don't know. Landlord, why are you asking about this?"

"Nothing, just a casual question, but if you hear anyone talking about this, remember to tell me."

The husky girl nodded vigorously and happily agreed without thinking too much. When Hao Ren saw the girl's appearance, he immediately felt relieved: It would be better to worry less when dealing with such a heartless person...

Because he was not familiar with the witches, Hao Ren didn't find anyone to inquire about the origin of Bane. Anyway, his purpose here was quite simple, just to find Vivian's sleeping place, so he didn't know the ins and outs of anyone who had nothing to do with it. Too lazy to find out. Next, he plans to ask Mrs. Mary to get more information about "Hesiana" to confirm whether it is the naughty little bat spirit he knows, although he does not think that with Hesiana's ability She will be caught by a group of human exorcists, but who can say for sure what happened over thousands of years? There is no guarantee that the little bat had such an experience of capsizing in the sewer in the past, and then she did it because she was embarrassed. Erxue is hiding, no one knows...

But just when Hao Reng was about to talk to Mrs. Mary, a sound of flapping wings suddenly came from the night sky, interrupting his actions.

When the witches heard this voice, they all stopped their conversations and looked up at the sky.

The fog that shrouded the entire cemetery opened a gap, and a white owl that stood out in the night sky passed through the night and landed steadily in front of the witch Helen. This owl had a white feather on its head and a look in its eyes. Revealing a human-like aura, it is obviously also a demon pet.

"Rom!" Helen called out immediately when she saw the owl, "Why have you been here so long? What news did you find out?"

The owl called Roma flapped its wings and sighed in a rich baritone voice: "Ah - this lonely and cold night is just like my lonely and sad heart. Poor Roma shuttles in the darkness. , but can only deliver news that is more tragic than darkness. Listen to the cool night wind. There are sob-like words in the wind. Poor Rom, what kind of disturbing news have you brought this time... …”

The witch Helen raised her leg and stomped on the table, and her toes rubbed the owl's head and fell down: "Fight your mother (paraphrase)! Let's get to the point!"

"The witch Hesiana has solid evidence of practicing black magic and has confessed. She has been sentenced to be burned at the stake. The roast will begin at noon tomorrow..."

Hao Ren was stunned on the spot. He had never seen before that this beautiful witch with the kindest look actually had this side to her?

Then he realized something more important: The witch named "Hesiana" would be publicly executed and burned to death in the city tomorrow?

This news also caused the other witches to immediately start a commotion. The sick-looking witch was the first to stand up: "We must take action immediately."

Lady Mary also stood up: "Humanity has finally decided to take action - Heather Anna leaving the church dungeon is our best and last chance to take action. We must rescue her before the execution at noon tomorrow!"

A witch questioned aloud: "But the witcher is coming soon..."

"So we have to end this before the demon hunters actually arrive," Lady Mary looked over with sharp eyes. "Humanity chooses to start tomorrow, which gives us a chance. The demon hunters will not come so soon. Yes, before they arrive, we have time to rescue the messenger from the City of Shadows and evacuate safely."

Several witches nodded slightly after hearing Lady Mary's words, but some still had hesitant looks on their faces: the "information" that Hao Ren brought about "the demon hunter is coming" obviously shaken the courage of these people, and they They may have made a perfect plan before and were confident, but when the variable of the demon hunter appeared, their confidence seemed a bit insufficient.

"A comfortable life will not fall from the sky. If we want to live a free life in the paradise of black magic, we must take some risks in advance, otherwise we can only continue to live a life of hiding in Tibet. And even if there are demon hunters So what? The wizard Hao Ren has proved that the witcher is not invincible. Now that we have such a powerful wizard joining the team, and a werewolf to help, and with the strength of all of us, the witcher is no longer invincible. How terrible! But -" Mrs. Mary said, her voice gradually cooled down, "If anyone still wants to quit, you can say it now, and I will 'accommodate' this request."

Helen coughed twice and looked at Hao Ren: "Wizard, can you roughly judge the number of those demon hunters?"

"Didn't I say before that I can't tell the exact number of people. But I can be sure that they are not many. They can only be a team of three or four people at most."

Hao Ren quickly minimized the description of the "witcher" in his fiction because he was afraid that these witches would be frightened by the demon hunter and simply give up the mission and go home. If the "Hesiana" who was to be burned to death in the city was not the little bat spirit he knew, where could he continue to look for clues?

After hearing the news, the witches indeed seemed much calmer.

Mrs. Mary looked at the situation in front of her with satisfaction and raised her arms: "Very good, then we will start at noon tomorrow. The specific action plan..."

Hao Ren listened to the witch explain the action arrangements for tomorrow's "Tribulation Field", and while deducing the next day's actions in his mind, his thoughts were spreading.

Could the "blood mage" named Hesiana be the little bat spirit she knew? Or is it just the same name? If it was really her, how could she be captured by a bunch of humans? And why is he considered a "blood mage"? Although blood mages also use blood magic, they are two completely different concepts from vampires. What happened in the middle?

While the witches were hiding in the cemetery to plan a big operation, on a dirt road far away from the city, a group of travelers in black costumes were setting up a bonfire in the open space to take a break.

Their horses were tied to a dead tree by the roadside, and a shiny holy silver sword hung beside the saddle.

A tall leader stood up from the bonfire and looked in the direction of the city: In the night, there were only very weak scattered lights in the direction of the city, and it was almost impossible to see any details, but the leader was concentrated, as if he had already seen the distance. Everything is in full view.

A young deputy stood up and said, "Elder, is a small place like this really worth your while?"

The leader looked back at the inexperienced junior and then turned back: "A qualified hunter will never underestimate any hunting, and... you have no idea how dangerous she is, especially when she is about to wake up..."
