The time from Tristram to Watson was longer than Fang Zheng had imagined. When he was woken up by the boatman in the cabin and stepped onto the dock of Watson, it was already five hours later.

That's five hours wasted?

Fang Zheng frowned as he watched the boatman go away. He hadn't expected Watson to be so far from Tristram, and it was a one-way ticket - the boatman told him that he was only responsible for sending people, not picking them up. Fang Zheng was a little confused at first, but then he thought about it and understood. Isn't there a teleportation array under Watson's chapel? Isn't that much faster than a boat pick-up and boat drop-off?

Forget it, let’s go find the fragments first.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng walked towards the town of Watson.

At this time, Watson Town had not been attacked by cultists like in the game, and people were still living a peaceful life. From time to time, you could see fishing boats coming and going and children playing in the countryside. Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. He could imagine that once the cultists launched an attack here, almost nothing here would be spared.

But unfortunately, Fang Zheng was now in a difficult situation. He only hoped that he could take the fragment away as quickly as possible. In this way, the cultists would have no reason to attack Watson, and he could divert their attention to preserve this peaceful little village.

Fang Zheng, the outsider, did not attract much attention in the town. Perhaps because most people were busy at work, the town looked peaceful and tranquil. However, Fang Zheng did not intend to cause any trouble. He quickly found the church in the town and knocked on the door. Soon, a man dressed as a priest walked out of the church and looked at Fang Zheng curiously.

"Hello, stranger, what brings you to Watson?"

"Hello, Reverend."

Looking at the pastor in front of him, Fang Zheng nodded, then took out Captain Rumford's letter from his bosom and handed it over.

"I'm a militiaman from Tristram. A meteorite fell there before. I heard that some of its fragments fell in Watson, so I wanted to see if there were any clues."

"Meteorite?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the pastor was stunned for a moment, then nodded as if he suddenly understood something.

"I know what you are talking about. As it happens, we did find something very strange. Please follow me..."

As he spoke, the pastor moved aside and motioned Fang Zheng to go in. After hearing what the pastor said, Fang Zheng gave him a meaningful look and then walked into the church.

The entire church was dark, and only the scattered light from the candles could barely make out some things.

"What on earth is that?"

Fang Zheng asked casually as he walked towards the inside of the church. At this moment, the church door creaked shut behind him. Then, the pastor's voice sounded again.

"Oh, it was caught by our fisherman while fishing. It exudes a very strange power from time to time. The fisherman didn't know what it was, so he sent it to the church. I originally wanted to keep it, but I didn't expect that it would be related to the meteorite..."

As the priest spoke, he stared at Fang Zheng's back. Then he reached out and quietly took out a dagger from his bosom. Fang Zheng didn't seem to notice it at all. He just turned around curiously and asked casually.

"So, what about the fragment?"

"Just ahead..."

As he spoke, the pastor secretly quickened his pace. He quietly walked behind Fang Zheng, clenched the dagger in his hand, and stabbed Fang Zheng hard!

At the same time, a cold light suddenly flashed!

“Puff!”

"How is it possible...?"

The priest widened his eyes in surprise, looking at the cold sword that was cutting into his body. The chill of Frostmourne spread all around, and even made him feel a little scared that his soul was about to be frozen.

"How did you...find out..."

"Your acting is so bad. Go home and practice again."

Looking at the stunned priest in front of him, Fang Zheng sneered. In fact, when meeting the priest, Fang Zheng realized that something was wrong with this priest. He looked at him with worried eyes at first, and when he heard the purpose of his visit, he showed a hint of anxiety. What made Fang Zheng most suspicious was that this priest did not check the letter from Captain Rumford too carefully. He even just glanced at it after opening it and immediately let himself into the church.

Fang Zheng has always been good at observing people's words and expressions, which helps him to obtain information, and now he is using this to judge that something is wrong.

What made Fang Zheng even more certain was that after entering the church, the pastor actually walked behind him, not in front of him. Normally, since he was the one who hid the fragment, he must be responsible for leading the way, but he fell behind him under the pretext of closing the door. It would be a miracle if there was no problem!

Most importantly, when the priest made his move, Fang Zheng clearly heard his breathing become heavy in an instant, which was a human instinctive reaction, indicating that he was either very excited or very nervous. Therefore, Fang Zheng summoned Frostmourne without hesitation and chopped directly behind him.

Facts have also proved that Fang Zheng's judgment was correct.

This pastor is also a cultist!

With a scream, the cultist's soul was forcibly pulled out of his body and then sucked into Frostmourne. At the same time, a line of information appeared in front of Fang Zheng again.

[Soul Power +45]

Sure enough, the souls of the living are stronger than those of the living dead.

Looking at the system prompt that appeared in front of him, Fang Zheng curled his lips. Then he put away Frostmourne and began to look for the fragment of the holy sword. Since this priest is a cultist, it is very likely that Magda has already learned about the news about the fragment of the holy sword. Thinking about it carefully, maybe the other party was deliberately delaying time, so he took the Nephalem around in circles! It is very likely that in the game, before the Nephalem arrived at Watson, the fragment of the holy sword had already been taken away by Magda!

The more Fang Zheng thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth. Otherwise, why did he meet Magda's phantom when he arrived at the cellar in the game? And she was so calm and composed, as if she was waiting for him there? Wasn't this clearly a trap?

“It’s not here.”

After a quick inspection of the church, Fang Zheng found nothing. However, this did not worry him. Instead, it confirmed his judgment that the priest had not placed the fragments in the church first and then moved them to the cellar as described in the game. Instead, they had been hiding in the cellar all along!

Perhaps this cultist thought he was foolproof, but he obviously didn't know that Fang Zheng had already learned the location of the cellar from the game. After searching the church to no avail, he immediately left through the back door and went to the cellar next to it. This place was naturally locked, but Fang Zheng didn't care about these trivial matters now. Thinking that the cultists and their leaders might appear at any time, he also became more vigilant, directly cut open the cellar door with a sword, and then walked directly into the cellar.

The entire cellar did not look much different from the one in the game. When Fang Zheng walked through the corridor and came to the center of the cellar, he quickly saw the hilt of the sword placed on the central platform, emitting a soft glow.

This is the fragment of the holy sword! Fortunately, it is still here!

Seeing the fragment, Fang Zheng finally put down his worries. He walked to the platform and carefully checked the surroundings. After finding no traps, he reached out and took the hilt and put it in his pocket. Only then did Fang Zheng finally feel relieved.

"Okay, everything is done. It's easier than I thought. The next thing to do is to return to Tristram..."

“Swish!!”

However, before Fang Zheng finished speaking, a light suddenly flashed behind the platform in front of him, and then Fang Zheng saw several guys wearing yellow robes and dressed like cultists walking out. They were stunned for a moment when they saw Fang Zheng, and Fang Zheng was also stunned for a moment when he saw this group of cultists who suddenly appeared. Then, he immediately reacted.

This group of cultists were actually teleported here using a teleportation array!
