"You helped Capac persuade Sadow and his men, and saved our tribe from unwarranted harm. This reward is what you deserve... Well, it's time for me to rest now..."
Nephnis, who was relying on Uta's soul, said this. Finally, she looked at Kapak beside her and said finally.
"Capac, remember to bring everyone to me as soon as possible. Don't stay there for too long, so as to avoid any accidents."
"Got it, teacher. I'll go and make arrangements for that tomorrow."
Capak responded solemnly to Uta's soul in Nefernis' body. After listening, Nefernis nodded slightly and closed her eyes.
Then, a shadow separated from the sitting Nefernis, and finally shrank onto the pipe in Nefernis's hand.
After Uta's soul left, Nephnis, who had returned to normal, opened her tired eyes. She took a look at the scene in front of her and couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.
"Huh...is it finally over? I'm so tired..."
As she spoke, Nefernis stood up unsteadily, and as if due to fatigue, she staggered and fell forward as soon as she stood up. At the critical moment, Dorothy asked Bran to take two steps forward to catch Nefernis who was about to fall, and then asked with concern.
"What happened, Miss Thief? Is there anything wrong with your health?"
"Um...thank you for your concern. I'm fine physically, but I just feel very tired and dizzy. I think it's because my spiritual energy is almost used up?"
Nevonis, who was caught by Brandon, stood up quickly and said in a panic. After listening to Nevonis's words, Dorothy probably understood her current situation.
Nephnis's current condition should be a manifestation of overuse of her abilities. She had just been promoted to the black rank, and immediately used her ability to rely on the Soul Whisker of the Wilderness. She then searched the city for people for a long time. After relying on the soul whisker to fight, she relied on Uta's soul fragment to perform the soul-calling ceremony and the soul-burying ceremony. All the energy consumed in these two ceremonies was paid by her.
Having just been promoted, she had to use her abilities for a long time, and had to hold two ceremonies. After all this, Neveu's spirituality and energy had reached the bottom, so she looked so tired. In the past, Dorothy had also felt tired after consuming too much energy after fighting with an extreme number of zombies.
"Miss Thief, you should go and have a rest now. You have worked hard today." Brandon said this to Nefernis who looked tired. Nefernis nodded slightly after hearing this. After seeing this, Brandon continued to speak to Capak.
"Shaman apprentice, please escort Miss Thief to the East City District. Then go find your people and settle them down. The maester will help you arrange matters for your return to your hometown."
"Don't worry, I will escort Miss Thief to her destination safely. Please also thank the maester for his help."
"Well, now I have a mission to complete. See you all."
After saying hello to Nefernis and Capac, Dorothy took Brandon out of the alley. After Capac and Nefernis cleaned up the traces of the ceremony, they also left the scene. The deserted alley returned to its former quiet state.
At this moment, in the distant night sky, bursts of whistling sounds were coming from far away.
…
Above the Bishop's Square, a cold evening breeze was blowing, and its strange high-frequency sound spread far away.
On the outskirts of Bishop's Square, on the roadside somewhere.
Dorothy sat on the side of the road, rubbing her hands together, her body trembling slightly. She kept looking left and right, looking at both sides of the road, as if waiting for something.
After a while, Dorothy seemed to have waited for what she was waiting for. She suddenly stood up from the steps on the roadside as if she saw something, walked to the middle of the sidewalk, and waved to the distance on one side of the road. On the other side, Greg was running towards Dorothy breathlessly under the street light.
"Hoo...Hoo... Sorry Dorothy, something happened in the square over there, I'm late..."
Greg ran to Dorothy and said to her breathlessly. Dorothy tilted her head slightly and asked him questions.
"What happened over there in the square just now? I heard a loud noise over there? It sounded like glass breaking?"
"Huh...Huh...Well, I don't know about this yet. It might be because of a gas explosion. Anyway, this place is a little unsafe now. I'll take you away from here."
Greg said this to Dorothy, and Dorothy nodded obediently without asking any more questions.
After being arranged by Dorothy to play a group of wounded soldiers, Greg was quickly carried by Dorothy's corpse puppet actor to a secluded place to change clothes. Just when Greg was wondering what the point of coughing a few times as a wounded soldier was, a violent storm broke out in No. 1 Blue Street.
For a while afterwards, Gregor, who had just changed his clothes, began to act based on his sense of responsibility as a hunter. He immediately went to the square to help coordinate and maintain order and transport the wounded. He was busy until just now, and only after seeing that the situation at the scene was almost stable did he take the time to come to Dorothy.
Up to now, Gregor still didn't know what happened at the scene. He only knew that an unusual supernatural event had occurred and he needed to take his sister to a safer place to settle down.
"Greg, are you going to take me there?"
Dorothy asked Gregor while they were on the road far away from the Bishop's Square. Gregor said after glancing in the direction of the Bishop's Square behind him.
"No, it's too late now. It's not convenient to go. I'll take you to a hotel nearby. You can stay there by yourself and go there tomorrow."
"Greg, do you have anything else to do?"
"Yeah... Just now, we suddenly encountered some problems with our company in the square. Because the previous unexplained explosion involved some of our business, we may have to work overtime for a while."
Gregor said this. He had heard the whistling sound that had passed through the sky before. He also heard a strange high-frequency wind sound coming from the Bishop's Square.
He knew that the people from the headquarters had already arrived at the Bishop's Square. They were there to summon the hunters who were on holiday for the New Year. The strange sound of the wind was a special summoning signal within the Security Bureau.
As a hunter, it's time for him to get back to his post.
"Ah... It's been a long time since I've worked overtime, brother. Go with peace of mind. After you leave, I'll have to work overtime too."
Listening to Greg's words, Dolusi thought that the exploration of Barrett Villa could not be delayed, and she had to act quickly.
It seems that this New Year's Eve is not the end for Dorothy, and she needs to work overtime.
