Chapter 246 Are you interested in learning about our Lord?

"Tell me about it."

"say what?"

"You and the puppy, of course."

"Ade is not a dog, he is a wolf."

"Whatever you think it is."

“…Ade grew up with me.”

"Where are your parents?"

"I don't have any parents, I only have this one, and it's also my hunting partner."

"Then what?"

“And then it disappeared.”

"If this is the extent of the description, then I think it will be difficult for you to find it, don't you think?"

Vic stared at Bai Wei and said, "You said you would help me find it."

Bai Wei smiled: "You are right. Am I not helping you now? If you are unwilling to cooperate, then I can't do anything about it. You can still leave now."

Vic clenched his fists tightly, wanting to just turn around and leave, but he finally gave up the idea and whispered, "Ade and I got lost at the sacrificial ground."

"The lost sacrificial site?"

"...You actually knew that?"

"I've only heard a little bit about it." Bai Wei said lightly, "It's said to be the holy land of the Senluo Church. In the past, the priests of the Senluo Church and their hunters could enter the sacrificial ground to gain power, but that was a hundred years ago, right? The God of Senluo and his church perished together. What's the point of you going there?"

Vic originally didn't want to answer, as this was the last secret of the Senluo hunters, so he originally wanted to make up some nonsense to fool Bai Wei.

But Bai Wei always looked relaxed, as if he knew everything, which made Vic dare not do so.

So after a while, he said slowly: "It is not completely gone."

"Um?"

"The power of the sacrificial site has not completely disappeared." Vic said with great difficulty, "Hunters can still gain power from it."

After saying this, it seemed as if all of Vic's strength had been spent, causing him to collapse directly to the ground, his face full of regret and helplessness.

And Bai Wei also knew why Vic had such a reaction.

"It seems that this news is a secret even in this land." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Are you on guard against the Wildfire Cultists?"

Vic said nothing, but evidently acquiesced.

Before the death of the God of Senluo, hunters were the core of this land. After the death of the God of Senluo, the Wildfire Cultists replaced the hunters.

But the power of the hunter has not disappeared, and the power of the hunter can still be obtained in the former Senluo sacrificial site.

Although it is not much, it is enough for work and life.

Both Vic and his wolf hunter Ade need this power.

Bai Wei continued to ask: "So who told you this news?"

"An old hunter."

"What about the others?"

"Dead."

"So you believed him?"

Vic looked at Bai Wei: "I have nothing to cheat on."

"That's true, but why don't you consider joining the Wildfire Sect?" Bai Wei said with a smile, "They are the orthodox sect of this land, right?"

"Don't outsiders call them the Esoteric Sect?"

"You think so too?"

Vic was silent for a moment: "I don't believe them."

"Why?"

"intuition."

"I need a more precise statement."

Vic was somewhat helpless: "Sense of smell, I can smell a very strange smell from them, like... a corpse crawling out of a grave."

“That’s a very vivid description.”

When he heard this, Vic glanced at Bai Wei subconsciously.

He really wanted to say, "You have some of this smell on you, too," but he didn't dare. The conversation with Bai Wei made him feel tremendous pressure, even greater than when he was being hunted by the Wildfire Cultists.

"In other words, you and your dog felt that the Wildfire Cult had problems and didn't want to join them, so you went in search of the power of the hunters of the past." Bai Wei concluded calmly, "And on the way to the sacrificial site that the old hunter told you about, you and your dog got lost?"

“…Ade is a wolf.”

"That's not important, please focus on the point."

"……Yes."

"How exactly did you get lost?"

"...I don't remember." Vic seemed to be afraid that Bai Wei wouldn't believe him, so he said impatiently, "I'm not lying, I really don't remember."

"Don't be nervous. I didn't say you were lying to me." Bai Wei said with a smile, "But why don't you explain it in more detail? This won't do any harm to you or me, right?"

Vic took a deep breath.

His memory went back to more than ten days ago, the ancient building, the strange runes, and Ade who was following him.

But soon, the memory began to blur.

When it became clear again, he was the only one left.

Vic told this to Bai Wei.

But Bai Wei didn't listen seriously, because he "saw" it all, "saw" it all clearly.

[Listening] plus [Watching] allowed him to see directly into Vic's heart, and even get a rough idea of ​​the memories and imaginations in Vic's mind.

Of course, this is not easy and requires some guidance as well as some physical strain.

This is also related to Bai Wei's current physical condition. Bai Wei is currently in a very delicate stage.

He got a brand new body and no longer had to think about how to lure his accomplices to use his power. He could do anything a normal person could do, such as breathing.

After all, for a soul that has not yet found its original nose, being able to breathe freely is already a very exciting thing.

But ah, what is the cost?

The most direct cost was that in order to obtain this body, he used the ability of [Visas's Phantom] when he was in Shengyin.

For this reason, all his rules were temporarily suspended.

Although these are active rules, passive ones, such as the super vision of [Gaze] and the ability to see into people's hearts and minds of [Listen] can still be used. Although the effects have been weakened a lot, it is better to be able to use them than not to be able to use them.

For example, [Terminate] and [Control] have completely become ineffective.

This was naturally a big blow to his strength, especially since he had given the sound and music of this body, as well as the bones that could greatly enhance basic strength, to Hevinia, which naturally caused the strength of this body to plummet.

This also resulted in him suffering serious injuries in the battle at the border, and he has not yet recovered.

And if he guessed correctly, Rhine's troublesome guys should have come to find him.

Tsk, what a troublesome bunch of guys.

But...

Bai Wei looked at Vic in front of him and couldn't help but smile.

He has found the most crucial card.

Vic didn't know what Bai Wei was thinking. After he finished his story, he asked Bai Wei, "Do you believe what I said?"

"Why not?" Bai Wei said with a smile, "It's not like I haven't experienced this before."

Vic was very suspicious: "Have you experienced this?"

"Yes, I once had an accomplice... I mean, a partner." Bai Wei said, "He was just like you. He entered a place he shouldn't have entered, and then lost most of his memory. He spent ten years in a daze."

"And then what?"

"Then he died."

Vic: “…”

"But he recovered his memory before he died." Bai Wei shrugged. "This means he has no regrets."

Vic was silent for a while, then said, "I don't care whether I can get my memory back or not, as long as I can get Ade back."

"Of course, isn't that what we are doing?" Bai Wei said with a smile, "But I must remind you that such a long time has passed, the truth may not be so easy to accept, do you understand what I mean?"

"...I understand." Vic whispered, "As long as we find it, it will be fine. This is the agreement between it and me. We will be buried together even after we die."

"What a touching relationship between man and dog... I mean, the relationship between man and wolf." Bai Wei clapped his hands with an appreciative expression, "In that case, let's set off at daybreak."

Vic turned his head and looked out the window.

There was a hint of paleness in the distant sky.

The night is finally over.

Vic breathed a sigh of relief.

The conversation with Bai Wei really put him under tremendous pressure.

So much so that...

Vic suddenly remembered something and looked at Bai Wei again.

"I still don't know who you are," Vic said.

At this time the sun rose.

The morning glow dispelled the darkness, and the sunlight shone through the window onto half of Bai Wei's body, but the other half was still hidden in the darkness.

"You can call me... Ulu." Bai Wei said with a smile, "My profession is a priest."

"To show the way to those who are lost in darkness."

"Father Uru."

…

When the sun rose completely, Bai Wei took Vic out of the church and walked towards the nearest town of Yade.

Vic looked uneasy.

"Is it really okay to just go in like this?" Vic said, "The Wildfire Cult has spies in the town, and the townspeople will tell on us."

"Don't worry." Bai Wei smiled nonchalantly, "They will pay attention to a lone wolf, but not a little boy who is accompanied by a kind priest."

At this moment, Bai Wei and Weike have both changed their clothes.

Bai Wei was really wearing a set of Rhine priest uniform, which he got at the border. He also changed Vic into matching clothes and covered Vic's face with a mask.

"We are clergymen from the Rhine, and we are here to purify the souls of these innocent townspeople who have been immersed in the esoteric religion for many years." Bai Wei said, "So you must pay attention to your attitude and be friendly, understand?"

Affable...

Vic didn't know where to complain for a moment.

Because he knew that behind Bai Wei's wide priest uniform was hidden the serrated knife that had killed countless people, and the smell could not be hidden at all.

Can such a person be called amiable?

"You said before that after you and Ade got lost, the Wildfire Cultists started hunting you, right?" Bai Wei didn't care about Vic's complaints in his heart, and said slowly, "Before that, didn't they cause you any trouble?"

Vic shook his head. "No, I was nothing before that, and Ade was just an ordinary wolf. There was no reason for them to come after us."

"So now there is a reason?" Bai Wei said, "What do you think is the reason?"

"...I don't know." Vic said, "I guess it has something to do with the sacrificial site, but I have no idea what's inside the sacrificial site. I don't even remember whether I've been in there."

"Is it possible that you took something out of there?" Bai Wei said, "They are not targeting you, but the things you brought out."

Vic continued to shake his head, "No, I don't have anything extra."

"Really?"

"Really not."

Bai Wei smiled: "Then how did you evade the pursuit of the Wildfire Cultists time and time again? Did you have this ability from the beginning?"

Vic stood there in a daze, then lowered his head and stared blankly at his hands.

"I... never thought about this question." His voice was a little stagnant, "But I didn't seem to have such ability before. I was just an ordinary person."

"An ordinary person cannot escape the pursuit of the cultists again and again." Bai Wei said, "It seems that you did get something in that sacrificial field, such as... the power you dreamed of."

Vic was stunned for a long time. When he saw Bai Wei had gone far away, he realized what was happening. He immediately chased after him and asked anxiously, "Do you know something?"

"It's just some speculation based on facts." Bai Wei said with a smile, "To be honest, stories like this are very common out there."

"story?"

"Yes, in order to gain power, one must sacrifice something." Bai Wei said, "For example, one's body, one's lifespan, or... something precious."

Vic didn't understand Bai Wei's meaning at first. When he reacted, he was furious: "Are you saying that I used Ade's life to get my current power?!"

"I didn't say that." Bai Wei still spoke in a calm but irritating tone, "I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious. This is just my guess. As for the truth, we still have to wait until we see it with our own eyes."

Vic was furious.

But he couldn't find any reason to get angry. After all, Bai Wei said that this was just his guess.

"I won't take Ade as a price." He caught up with Bai Wei and said in a low voice, "I definitely won't."

"I am naturally willing to believe it, but if that is the case, what is the price of power?"

Vic couldn't answer.

At this time, they had arrived at the small town of Yade.

Although it was already daybreak, there was still not a single pedestrian on the streets of the town, as if it were a dead town.

But Bai Wei knew that at this moment, countless pairs of eyes were hiding in the room and secretly looking out. They had been stared at by countless people when they first came in.

But Bai Wei didn't care. He walked slowly to one of the residents' houses and knocked on the door.

"Hello, I'm Uru, a priest from the Rhine." Bai Wei gave his name directly, "I came here to spread the blessings of the great God of the Rhine."

Vic didn't expect that Bai Wei would actually dare to preach so bluntly.

How can this succeed?

The people here will not open the door to outsiders, not even hunters who were injured while protecting them.

Sure enough, a deep male voice sounded from behind the door: "Take your grace and get out of here."

"Sir, it seems that you have some wrong views on our omniscient and omnipotent Lord." Bai Wei was still kind. "In this case, I recommend that you read our Rhine Covenant. In this case..."

The people inside sneered: "What kind of bullshit covenant is this? I've never even heard of it."

"Is that so?" Bai Wei said with some regret, "In that case, I can only spread the Lord's gospel in another way."

Another way?

Before Vic could react, he saw Bai Wei suddenly pull out the serrated knife from behind him.

Then he chopped it down without hesitation.
