After that day, Annie never went out again. She naively thought that as long as she stayed at home, such things wouldn't happen again.
She sneaked back home and pretended nothing had happened, continuing to live as usual. However, the nightmare didn't end!
She lived a peaceful life for a few days. After she finally relaxed, she somehow involuntarily uttered that spell again! Similarly, this time, monsters appeared!
After that, every few days, she would involuntarily recite that spell!
Even though she didn't want to!
What made her even more desperate was that the frequency of her reciting the spell became more and more frequent!
Every time, she watched those monsters look at her as if she were food and finally leave reluctantly. After that, she would hear rumors about where demons had appeared again.
She knew that she was the culprit for the demons running amok in the North District. But she wasn't stupid enough to turn herself in to the church and be burned to death. She wasn't willing to die like this!
In the morning, her father told her that he would invite a black - robed deacon from the church to see her. She must be well - prepared and not let that black - robed deacon notice anything strange!
"Come on, Annie, you can do it." Annie patted her face and said to herself.
"Annie, come quickly to meet the deacon!" The voice of Alvock came from the living room.
"Okay, coming." Annie summoned up her courage and walked into the living room. Her face was haggard and her eyes were bloodshot, but she still deliberately dressed up a bit so that the deacon wouldn't notice anything abnormal.
"Miss Annie is really beautiful." Jose's eyes lit up when he saw the haggard Annie. This kind of girl was just to his taste.
"Deacon, you're overpraising her." Alvock said, but his face was full of pride. If the deacon took a fancy to Annie, it would be great. This deacon had a bright future and would surely become a white - robed deacon one day. Then the rise of the Walker family would be just around the corner!
Annie put on a shy look on her face but cursed in her heart. The look in Deacon Jose's eyes was really disgusting. Moreover, judging from her father's meaning, he seemed to want to match her up with this guy she had just met for the first time. How could that be possible!
Deacon Jose grinned and observed Annie for a long time. Then he pretended to pray and threw a small green whirlwind at Annie.
Annie was so frightened that she almost jumped up, and her little face instantly turned pale. Fortunately, her face was already haggard. Otherwise, Jose would definitely have noticed something strange.
This divine art was practiced by major religious sects on the continent. Its effect was to detect the demonic energy in the body of the person being detected. If the amount of demonic energy was small, it meant that the person was affected by a wizard. If the content of demonic energy was large, then the person was a wizard!
As for non - church people, they could only buy the holy water of the Holy Light Church at a high price.
After confirming that Annie wasn't a wizard and there was no trace of demonic energy on her, Jose thought it wasn't a big deal. Miss Annie's strangeness might just be because she had encountered something sad recently.
Jose leered at Alvock and said:
"Mr. Alvock, your daughter's body hasn't been affected by supernatural forces, so you can rest assured. However, Miss Annie's condition might be related to her room. Can I go and have a look with Miss Annie?"
Alvock exclaimed that it was no problem. Clergy members were really meticulous in their work.
After arriving at Annie's room, Jose said to Alvock, "It's okay for me and Miss Annie to go in together. You don't need to follow."
Alvock was slightly stunned. Was this Deacon Jose so impatient?
But it was okay. Anyway, Alvock had this intention. Alvock winked at Annie for a while and then left smiling.
Annie showed a pleading look to her father, but unfortunately, her father ignored her and even left directly. Her father's behavior made Annie a little cold - hearted. She always thought that her father loved her the most, but now it seemed that he was selling her to this guy?
Jose closed the door and showed a lewd smile as he pounced on Annie. Through his observation, he had long discovered that this girl might not take a fancy to him, but her father definitely supported his actions, so he had no scruples.
Seeing Jose pounce on her ferociously, Annie made up her mind. She absolutely couldn't be defiled by him. She began to resist and pulled out a dagger and put it across her neck!
Rather die than submit!
But her resistance was nothing in front of a second - level priest. Jose casually waved his hand, and Annie's dagger flew out. In front of Jose, she was like a lamb under a lion, with no power to resist.
Her weak resistance only increased Jose's lust. After some actions, Jose subdued Annie and made her unable to move. He began to reach out to take off Annie's clothes. In despair, Annie involuntarily recited the spell. Two ferocious monsters appeared in front of Jose from the void and fiercely bit at him.
Unfortunately, Jose was a second - level priest. These two little monsters had a hard time defeating ordinary people, let alone dealing with Jose. Jose put his hands together and then separated them. A pillar of gale was wrapped around each of his hands.
A second - ring divine art, the Sword of the North Wind.
Jose swiped two times, and the two strange - looking little monsters were cut into pieces by Jose's Sword of the North Wind. The speed was so fast that there was even no time to describe their appearance!
The two little monsters were killed in a moment, but Annie didn't stop. Stimulated by Jose, she entered the final stage of the confused period and kept casting spells until her magic power was exhausted!
Annie summoned little monsters, and Jose killed them. The two were in a stalemate for a long time.
Finally, after summoning seventeen or eighteen little monsters, Annie's magic power was exhausted. She was so weak that she slumped there, waiting for the cruel fate that could be imagined.
"Hehe, so it was you, this bitch, who caused the monster commotion that has been troubling us for so many days? How lucky I am. If I hadn't suddenly wanted to have you, I don't know how much more trouble it would have taken."
Jose laughed wildly. He thought he had really caught a big fish. The culprit who had troubled the church for a while had actually been discovered by him.
Annie sat there silently. She didn't even have the strength to speak.
After every wild witch awakens, the confused period ends with a large - scale release of small spells until the magic power is exhausted. However, the damage caused by most wild witches during the confused period is so slight that it is rarely noticed.
"Anyway, you're doomed to die. Let me have some fun before you die, haha."
Jose leered and rubbed his hands at Annie.
"You'd better die before you have your fun."
A clear male voice suddenly sounded in Jose's ear.
Jose was so frightened that he jumped up on the spot. Who was speaking!
He quickly turned around and saw a figure in a black robe. There were dense curse tools under the hood!
It was the Evil - faced Man!
"I... I... you... you... aaah."
Jose stammered. He was present when the Evil - faced Man fought with Deacon Reeves before and knew that he was like a chick in front of this man.
After quickly regaining his composure, he turned around and ran away. Jose, a deacon of the God of the North Wind, was confident that he was faster than the Evil - faced Man. He gathered all his divine power on his feet and ran as fast as the wind.
Jose ran farther and farther. Looking back, he found that the terrible Evil - faced Man didn't chase after him!
But when he turned around, he saw an incredible scene!
There was another Evil - faced Man in front of him!
Wait,
This Evil - faced Man didn't have curse tools on his face!
A fake!
"Get out of the way, you guy. Don't block my way, deacon!"
Seeing the fake Evil - faced Man, Jose gained courage and roared at Horne, who was standing in front of him, in a ferocious manner.
But what he didn't know was that the one standing in front of him was Horne, the real Evil - faced Man!
And the one who spoke behind him before was an illusion constructed by Enoch with illusion magic!
Horne wouldn't get out of the way, and he wouldn't let this deacon leave here alive!
He drew out his staff, recited a spell, and a fireball condensed.
He waved his arm.
A large fireball spell.
Launch!
Jose didn't have time to think. He wasn't Reeves. Reeves could dodge Horne's spells, but he could only take the hit!
He couldn't even use the divine power of the North Wind to defend himself!
The large fireball carrying amazing heat directly hit Jose's waist and exploded with a bang. The flames splashed everywhere, setting off a scorching high - temperature wind pressure!
And Jose in the center of the flames had already turned into a charred corpse!
Horne stepped over the corpse on the ground and came to Enoch's side. Looking at the unconscious Annie, he said to Enoch,
"Carry her on your back and take her away. We can't stay here any longer."
"Why do I have to carry her?" Enoch stared at Horne with wide eyes.
"Who is stronger between us two?" Horne turned to look at Enoch.
"Hahaha, of course it's me!" Enoch laughed.
"Since you're stronger, of course you should carry her!" Horne said with a sly smile.
"There's no reason that the stronger one..." Enoch still wanted to make a final struggle.
Horne just waved his hand to end the debate: "Come on, stop being so wordy. The sound of my large fireball was quite loud. The people from the Church of the North Wind will come soon."
Helplessly, Enoch directly carried the immobile Annie on his back and followed Horne away from there. They returned to Douglas' carpentry shop in the moonlight.
The people from the Church of the North Wind who rushed over in a hurry found nothing except a charred corpse.
Neither Horne nor Enoch knew that someone had been following them the whole time!
Someone they had never noticed despite thinking they had sharp senses!
He was the dragon - slayer Ilya!
Watching Horne and the other two enter Douglas' carpentry shop, Ilya threw away the fruit pit in his hand and muttered to himself:
"I'm right. That suit of clothes is a magician's clothes. That kid is really related to a magician!"
