"It seems that Xiao Mu is more reliable." Monica helped Mark, who looked a little weak because of the withdrawal of evil thoughts, up in a bad mood.
Although Mark's Oracle resonance can heal his health, the evil thoughts drain away Mark's magic power and mental strength, so he still needs some time to recover.
As for why Xiao Mu can still appear full of energy after swallowing the evil thoughts.
Humph, Monica is too lazy to think about it. There are so many strange things happening to Xiao Mu anyway!
One day, when her identification skills reach a high level, she will definitely dig out the secret of Xiao Mu!
"It seems that the man in black robe is really a jerk! Not only did he give Pappy a potion that might cause him to mutate, but he also tampered with him early on."
Mark leaned on Monica's soft shoulder with some enjoyment and couldn't help complaining, "However, this product of the Enlightenment Society's soul experiment... What exactly is the Enlightenment Society? How come I have never heard of it?"
"I haven't heard of it either."
Monica recalled the names of various famous forces on the mainland, and indeed had no relevant impression. Perhaps this Qizhi Society should be a force limited to a small place like the Black Gold Gang.
"However, the Heart-Eating Envoy should be a divine messenger from the Cannibal Cult, a subordinate profession of the Evil God of Chaos. They can even use the divine messenger of the Chaos Evil Cult as experimental consumables, so their strength must not be underestimated."
Although evil sects such as the Cannibal Cult have long been suppressed by the Holy Light Church in the human kingdom and dare not even fart, they are protected by gods after all.
Being able to take action against such a force means that its strength is definitely not something that small fry like Mark and his gang can challenge.
"Fortunately, the man in black robes didn't intend to target us. Mr. Mark, we should complete our mission as quickly as possible and exit the Rotten Bone Swamp first!"
Anna thought that the three people in their team seemed to have some special professions, and the man in black robe seemed to have escaped to a deeper place in the Rotten Bone Swamp.
If she continued to stay in this bone swamp, she would be in danger of becoming the other party's experimental subject, so she quickly spoke out to remind them.
At this time, the first priority is to get away from the source of danger as quickly as possible.
"Uh!" Mark awkwardly lifted himself up from Monica's shoulders.
Anna and Monica did not share Xingyue's vision, nor did they know the task that Xingyue had entrusted to him in his mind in the end.
As a team, he certainly couldn't hide it from the two women.
"That black-robed man isn't targeting us, but I think I'm targeting them!"
“???”
The two women turned around and looked at Mark in surprise at the same time.
"Is the condition in your body not yet completely eliminated?" Monica pretended to use the identification technique on Mark again.
"Don't waste your magic. I'm awake now."
Mark rubbed his burning brow and told the two women the vision he had just shared with Xingyue. "Just now, when Xingyue forcibly requisitioned my necklace, I saw six black-robed men setting up a giant magic circle in the poisonous fog swamp. On the central altar was the skeleton of a giant white beast. They might be creating some mutant creature again!"
"Then shouldn't we leave here as quickly as possible? Six black-robed men. If they are all as powerful as the black-robed man just now..."
Like Anna, Monica is not some savior from the Holy Light Church.
When faced with something that could threaten her life, the first thing she thought of was to hide as far away as possible.
Mark should be the same type of person as her, otherwise they would not be traveling together in the Golden Crocodile Caravan.
Mark smiled bitterly and took out the Star-Moon Black Gold. "I was assigned the task of disrupting the Black Robe Man's ritual. The High Priest of the Black Gold Gang used contract magic to bind the mission. If I desert..."
He paused, and the star-moon pattern on the back of his hand lit up, and contract runes flowed on the surface. "She will directly report what happened in Osborne Town to the Holy Light Judgment Office. Along with all the information about the participants in the previous Wolf Valley incident..."
“Tsk!”
Listening to the shrill cries of the night owl coming from the depths of the swamp, Monica frowned and sighed, "I knew that woman from the Black Gold Gang was no good!"
Things like this contract are not within Monica's identification range. If Monica had discovered that Mark had this contract tattoo on his body earlier, she would have persuaded Mark to leave Osborne Town!
After all, she had no way to terminate such a high-level contract.
Now, the high priest of the Black Gold Gang has no moral principles.
She was so powerful herself, but instead of stopping the man in black, she handed the task to Mark, who had not yet broken through to the third level.
Isn't this just asking Mark to die?
And judging from the aura released by the pattern, this is not even a one-time contract tattoo!
Who knows how much surplus value that woman wants to squeeze out of Mark!
"What are you going to do?" Monica looked at Mark helplessly.
The punishment that Xingyue set for Mark for disobeying the rules actually did not have much impact on her and Anna, although the God of Shadows was defined as an evil god by the Church of Holy Light.
But in fact, the Church of Holy Light knows nothing about the mysterious God of Shadows, nor do they know that Shadow Assassins and Shadow Elves are professions belonging to the God of Shadows.
As long as the two of them don't use shadow magic in front of the investigators from the Church of Holy Light, even if the Judgment Hall of the Church of Holy Light comes, they won't be able to do anything to them.
The one who was really affected the most was Mark.
"What else can we do? We can only bite the bullet. After completing the task of collecting ghost mushroom spores, I will take Xiao Mu with me to complete the task." Mark looked at the two women and felt that this matter really had nothing to do with them.
There was no need for the two women to follow him and put themselves in danger.
Speaking of it, adventure groups and adventure teams are adventure partners who take risks together.
But if you are seeking death and dragging your companions with you, that would be a bit inhumane.
Besides, Mark didn't think he was that shameless enough to let his adventure partner, whom he had been with for less than two months, risk his life for him.
So when Mark decided to accept Xingyue's mission, he never thought about taking the two women on the adventure.
Monica squinted her eyes, looked Mark up and down, and said with some disapproval: "Mark, have you forgotten that we also have a contract between us?"
"You openly offer yourself as material to the mysterious Enlightenment Society, aren't you violating our contract? Do you believe I'll go to Dragon Slaying City right now and report your identity to the Holy Light Church?"
“…” The contract signed between him and Monica did indeed promise that his information would only be given to Monica for identification, and Mark was unable to refute it.
Seeing Mark unable to utter a word for a long time, Monica finally pushed Mark aside, picked up Xiao Mu from his side and said, "It's decided. First, complete the ghost mushroom spore mission, and then get Anna out of the Warcraft Mountains! I'll complete that woman's mission with you!"
