 Chapter 31 Follow-up of the incident

  "It's sad, isn't it? Everything we have in the world can be destroyed so easily." Yas's voice sounded hoarse.

  "You can put me down." The other party added.

  Renekton hesitated for a moment, but still put the other party down. The other party's sequence was better than his, and he was better at fighting. If he wanted to escape, he would have no choice. Moreover, the captain and others were not far away, so he didn't have to worry about the other party threatening him.

  "Although I would like to hear your story, do you want to consider how to escape?" Renekton interrupted what the other party was about to say.

  After a while, Yas spoke again: "As an executor of the Church of Knowledge, you should understand that no matter whether this incident has anything to do with me or not, as a vampire, I am here and I will inevitably become a criminal. Are you instigating the criminal to escape?"

  Renekton shrugged and said: "It's just a suggestion. The big guys in the church don't intend to embarrass you. I'm not causing any trouble for myself, but others may not be. The transactions of the high-level people may not be known by the subordinates."

  "I stay, so that my sister can leave more safely." Yas's answer was beyond Renekton's expectations.

  "I thought you would want to take them away with you." Renekton sighed.

  Yas smiled bitterly: "Of course I want to, but I can't take risks. The old man is dead, and someone must come out to attract your attention."

  "Let's go, help evacuate the ordinary people here first. They used to have a peaceful and ordinary life, but now it's gone! As the main factor causing this incident, you must do something, right?" Renekton said, looking at the tired people around him.

  He reached out and pulled Yas to the captain's side. After briefly explaining to the captain, he joined the action of transferring the ordinary people here.

  Most people's resistance did not last too long, because some mutated animals had already run to this outer area.

  A gray-blue short-tailed cat the size of a cheetah, who knows when it ran over, stood quietly on the roof of the house, like a sculpture under the crimson moonlight.

  Renekton glanced at it several times, but did not notice the other party. He clearly saw it, but subconsciously ignored it. It was not

  until Thea drew her gun and fired in that direction, alarming the other party, that everyone reacted.

  "Meow~" It was a bit like a cat's cry, but it was not quite the same. Its sound was closer to the howl of a wild beast. The green eyes stared at Thea.

  "Bang! Bang!" Two more shots rang out, one from Captain Ikonton and one from Thea. The cat opposite, as big as a cheetah, easily dodged the first bullet, but failed to dodge the second bullet that followed.

  "Ouch~" After a scream, the other party quickly retreated and fled from here.

  "Don't chase them first, appease the people here and evacuate here as soon as possible." Captain Ikonton stopped Xia, who was about to chase the cheetah-sized gray-blue short-tailed cat.

  "What is that?"

  "I didn't see it clearly, it looks like a cat?"

  "How can there be such a big cat? It must be a cheetah!"

  There was a panic voice in the crowd.

  The sudden incident made many people realize that the danger described by the church and the Public Security Bureau was real. Everyone no longer lingered on the houses and property here, and began to urge those who were walking in front of them to hurry up and want to escape from here.

  "Really. They knew that there was really danger here, why didn't they want to leave before?" Yas looked at the people around him and said in confusion.

  Renekton always felt that what the other party wanted to say was not this sentence, because he realized that it was not right, so he changed his words.

  "Because I was lucky!" This answer came from Xia who was walking behind him.

  Xia's face was no longer as playful and smiling as usual, but was stained with a little worry and uneasiness.

  Although the sun hadn't come out yet, the morning glow had already revealed some eyebrows. The morning light sprinkled on the other person's body, making the red hair more prominent. Renekton was stunned for a moment.

  "What? Are you attracted by your sister's beauty so quickly? Hehe~" Thea's voice brought Renekton back to his senses, and his face gradually became ugly.

  "Oh? Our big boy is angry?" Thea teased Renekton more happily after seeing the change in Renekton's face.

  "I suddenly remembered that I sneaked out last night. Now it's almost dawn. How should I explain it when I go back?" Renekton no longer had the heart to pay attention to Thea's teasing.

  Renekton had forgotten that he had sneaked out of the house. He just remembered it when he saw the sunlight on Thea's red hair.

  "Hahaha! You are so cute, I wish you good luck~ Of course, you can also say that you spent a wonderful night with me outside. I don't mind helping you hide the fact." After hearing Renekton's answer, Thea was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.     "No, thank you for your kindness!" Renekton smiled and refused.

  He could only silently complain in his heart, "I have no grudges against you, why do you want to harm me!"

  "What a pity! I really want to help you." Xia sighed in disappointment, and walked to the side to talk to other teammates with a resentful look in her eyes.

  "You. There are witches among the executors?" Yas's voice was confused and puzzled.

  "Do you also think that she is a waste of talent by taking the reader's path?" Renekton said that someone finally agreed with his idea.

  "Reader?" Yas' eyes widened, looking at Xia in the other direction with disbelief.

  Sensing the gaze behind her, Xia shook her flamboyant red hair, turned around in the morning sun, and showed a faint smile to Yas who was looking at her. At this moment, Xia's eyes were gentle.

  Yas first blushed and moved his eyes away, then secretly glanced at Xia, and saw that the other party had turned his head away, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he was annoyed by his embarrassing performance just now.

  "Hehe~~!" Xia's teasing laughter reached his ears, which made Yas' face turn red, then white and blue, and then blue and red. In the end, he could only leave this place in annoyance.

  "Haha!" Renekton laughed like a spectator.

  "I absolutely don't believe that she is a Beyonder of the Reader's Path." Yas gritted his teeth and said.

  After a small episode, everyone once again invested in the operation of transferring and resettling the people here. As the sky gradually brightened, more people from the Church of Knowledge and the Church of the Earth joined in.

  It lasted until noon before the people of Hawk Street and the nearby blocks were completely transferred to the city square south of Madan. The people of the Church of the Earth built many temporary living places here and temporarily settled these people.

  After Captain Ikonton gathered the team members together, he took a carriage back to the office area of ​​the Execution Team of the Church of Knowledge.

  Yas, a vampire, was also brought back. Obviously, no one paid attention to him. I don't know why this guy didn't leave secretly by himself, but followed Renekton and others to the Execution Team.

  "The resettlement of residents has come to an end for the time being. Our task for a long time is to clean up the mutant creatures in Hawke Street and the surrounding areas. Those creatures will follow their instinctive extraordinary characteristics to gather and disperse. So if this problem cannot be solved as soon as possible, they will evolve into a new out-of-control demigod." Captain Ikonton said solemnly.

  "Out-of-control demigod?" This was the voice of Joseph and Josie.

  The two of them were the ones who went there with the church after dawn and didn't know much about the incident.

  "You can ask Rekton about the specific process of the incident. He knows the details of this incident, or wait for a while, and the corresponding information will be sent to you. I will discuss with the people of the Earth Church about how to deal with the pollution on Hawke Street. You should take a rest and get ready. We will set out to clean up the pollution soon." Captain Ikonton said concisely.

  At the end, he turned to Renekton and added: "Rekton, you go home and rest first, adjust your state, you don't have to participate in today's mission. We are facing pollution, and our own state cannot be a problem."

  Renekton didn't bother about why he didn't have to go alone. He didn't rest for a night, and he also experienced a fierce battle, and so many things happened later. Renekton now feels very tired and needs a good sleep.

  Captain Ikonton didn't say much, and hurried to the Church of the Earth, and took Yas with him. After the captain left, Renekton also stood up and said hello to everyone, picked up the coat wrapped with the great magician's hat, and left the team's office.

  Josie and Joseph had many questions to ask Renekton, but they were stopped by Xia's eyes.

  "Get ready, all kinds of purification bullets and spells. Before Sequence 6, everyone is weak and can only rely on equipment!" Xia stood up and said, mainly to Jessica and Mr. Kos. Joseph and Josie, one Sequence 8 and one Sequence 9, are both Reader Paths, which are not very useful.

  "Sister Xia, what about us?" Josie pointed at herself and Joseph beside her and asked.

  "Come with me to the church to find the bishop and ask for some magical items. You two will be responsible for logistics and moving things." Xia looked at the two and said casually.

  "Ah! Are we just responsible for moving things?" Josie said with an incredible look on her face.

  "Yes? Although our combat power is weaker than yours, we can still help a little, right?" Joseph agreed.

  "If you are from other paths, it is indeed possible, but the Reader Path and the Secret Prayer Path are the two weakest paths in the early stage of the twenty-two paths. At least Sequence 6 or Sequence 7 can be considered strong." Xia sighed helplessly.

  For the first time, Xia felt that the configuration of the Executioner Squad was unreasonable in dealing with such an event that required a lot of combat power.Chapter 32 Meeting

  Yas, who was taken by Captain Ikonton to attend the meeting led by the Church of the Earth, was now in a state of panic. As soon as he entered the meeting room, he was looked up and down by a demigod and several members of the Church of the Earth at Sequence 5 and Sequence 6. It seemed that if he showed any abnormality, he would be purified immediately by them.

  Yas felt that the eyes of these people looking at him were full of anger. Although this was the treatment he deserved, Yas, who was only an adult vampire, felt that he could not handle it.

  "Ahem! What do you want to know? I will tell you everything I know, but let me make it clear first, I don't know much. The old man didn't tell me many things, and I just guessed." Yas, who was stared at in panic, decided to speak first to break the silence.

  "Do you know that your father, Viscount Vilaf, was contaminated?" Archbishop Aisi Mia of the Harvest Church asked with a majestic voice.

  This descendant of the giant, who is nearly two meters tall and has dark green hair that drags down to her heels, seems to have both maternal kindness and majesty, making you unwilling and afraid to lie when facing her.

  "Pollution? The old man was polluted? When? No wonder he became more and more strange?" Yas was stimulated by the news, staring at the giant bishop sitting at the top of the long table of the meeting and asking questions.

  After that, he realized his impoliteness and quickly bowed his head to apologize: "Sorry, this news shocked me a little too much."

  "It's okay, child, are you willing to follow me and listen to the teachings of the Mother God?" The giant bishop's voice became gentle.

  Her voice carries a maternal tolerance and warmth, which makes people unconsciously want to let go of their guard and trust each other.

  "Ah? Why do you say that?" Yas was confused by the words of the giant bishop in front of him.

  Originally, he thought he came to the Church of the Earth to accept punishment, but now how did it become persuading himself to join the church? This giant bishop has two faces before and after.

  "Before being contaminated, your father, Viscount Vilav, had expressed his desire to join the church and feel the glory of the Mother Goddess. This is why we are willing to teach him the method of refining the Stone of Life in the form of a transaction after we knew that he possessed the characteristics of the ancient alchemist." The giant bishop said in a gentle tone.

  "What? You already knew that my father had obtained the characteristics of the ancient alchemist!" The words of the giant bishop shocked Yas.

  Thinking carefully, he felt that it was very reasonable. His father had not communicated with other vampires for a long time. If he wanted to know the promotion ceremony of the fourth sequence of the cultivator path, he could only get it from the Earth Church.

  "But now that the vampire viscount has been quietly contaminated under your watchful eyes, and it has caused such a situation. What happened in the middle? How do you plan to solve it?" Angerman Jin, the bishop of the Church of Knowledge, asked with some dissatisfaction.

  It was not only a question about the concealment of the news by the Earth Church, but also a question about how to solve this matter in the future.

  "This is our negligence. We didn't expect that Viscount Vilav had been secretly contaminated by the original moon at some point, and this incident also attracted the attention of another thief, the angel of passage, so that the development of the matter gradually got out of control. By the time we learned from the Church of Knowledge that a high-ranking thief was involved in this matter, it was too late. Things were out of control." The giant bishop said with a tone full of helplessness and self-blame.

  "Thief Path Angel? Original Moon?" Yas's mood became extremely complicated.

  He probably also knew why the people of the Earth Church didn't want to pursue his ideas, and even wanted to persuade him to join the church. In the incident involving angels and evil gods, he was no longer important.

  "Ahem! Everyone, let's discuss how to deal with this matter now." Bishop Angerman King of the Church of Knowledge coughed twice to attract everyone's attention and said.

  "We, the Church of Knowledge, have limited forces to mobilize in Madan City, and low-sequence Beyonders lack the ability to fight head-on, so we can only assist you in cleaning up the mutant creatures and pollution in Hawk Street, but we can take on more responsibilities in resettling the relocated people." Bishop Angman Jin said his thoughts succinctly.

  Bishop Angman Jin wanted to open up a new situation for the Church of Knowledge to spread its faith in Madan by helping and resettling these people.

  The Church of Knowledge's faith in Madan has always been limited to the academic field. This type of people is always a small part of a city. If you want to spread your faith more, you must face a wider group of people. Now is a rare opportunity for the Church of Knowledge.

  "No problem, this is our mistake, and we should bear most of the responsibility." The Giant Bishop chose to give up part of his faith to the Church of Knowledge, which was a necessary concession to maintain good cooperation between the two churches.     The giant bishop continued, "I have urgently applied to the headquarters for a seal to isolate the contaminated area. Today we can start cleaning up the mutated area. We must recycle the ancient alchemist's characteristics before they regroup."

  The meeting ended quickly. Under the eyes of the giant bishop of the Harvest Church, Yas finally chose to follow the other party to listen to the teachings of the Mother Goddess.

  Yas said that he was just listening to the teachings of the Mother Goddess, which did not mean that he chose the faith of the Mother Goddess. He himself would never betray the moon. He was just feeling the teachings of the Mother Goddess at the invitation of the giant bishop. This was probably his last insistence.

  "I just agreed to it under the circumstances, otherwise I would probably be locked up underground without seeing the sun. Anyway, I just listened to the other party's preaching and did some work. As long as I firmly believe in the ancestor, I will not be bewitched by the other party." Yas comforted himself in his heart.

  After leaving the Executioner Team, Renekton took a carriage and went straight back home. He found that Mr. Butler did not come to ask him when he left last night, where he went, and what he did.

  "Master, do you want to take a rest first?" The butler came over and asked Renekton with concern, looking at his tired expression.

  "The captain even thought of this? He also made up a reason for me to send someone to pass the message to the butler?" Renekton guessed in his heart.

  He nodded expressionlessly, and went straight to the second floor with a light "hmm". After arriving in his room, he threw the coat wrapped with the great magician's hat on the cabinet on the side to prevent the butler and others from taking it away as his clothes to be changed. Then he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

  When Renekton woke up, it was already a night with a crimson moon hanging high. He rubbed his shoulders that were a little sore due to improper posture. He went to the bathroom to wash his face and quickly clear his mind.

  As soon as he walked out of the bathroom, he met the butler who was waiting for him outside. The butler looked a little tired. He didn't know whether he didn't rest well or was always worried about him. Renekton felt that the latter was more likely.

  "Master, I heard the noise downstairs and knew you were awake. Do you need to eat now? Sally had prepared dinner in the evening, but now it needs to be reheated. It will be ready soon." The housekeeper asked with concern.

  "Well, by the way, I remember that Aunt Sally's house is also in the northwest, right? Has her family been affected?" Hearing the housekeeper mention Aunt Sally, Rekton remembered that Aunt Sally also lived in the northwest of the city, not far from Hawk Street.

  The housekeeper shook his head: "No, Sally's house is still some distance away from Hawk Street, just at the edge of this crisis. Although it is very close, fortunately it has not been affected."

  "Mother God, I didn't expect that the high-end hospital on Hawk Street would become a place for cultists to conduct biochemical experiments. Fortunately, the church evacuated the residents around it in advance, otherwise one or two thousand people would have died in this disaster!" The housekeeper said with a sigh.

  "Biochemical experiment? Oh, did the people from the Church of Knowledge tell you?" Renekton didn't expect that the Church of Earth would actually blame the cult's biochemical experiment.

  It was only because this place was close to Renburg that the people knew a lot about these academic terms, otherwise it would be difficult to blame them.

  "Yes, young master, as an elder who has watched you grow up, I hope you can protect yourself. Although you have joined the Church of Knowledge, I hope you can live a good life away from this danger compared to the achievements you have made in the church. I think this is also what Mr. and Mrs. think." Mr. Butler hesitated for a long time and finally spoke these words.

  Renekton was silent for a long time. He didn't know how to refuse an elder's caring advice to the younger generation, especially when the other party was the one who watched him grow up.

  "Okay, I know, I will pay attention in the future. Uncle Sean can fully believe in my ability. I am already an adult, no longer the child who needs your care and protection everywhere." Renekton said with a smile of confidence and pride on his face.

  "Yes! You have grown up, great! Great!!" Mr. Butler said with a smile on his face.

  This smile contains both the comfort and pride that the child that I care for and love has grown up, and the loss and confusion that the child no longer needs me.  Chapter 33: The spoils of war sent by the crow

  Renekton and the butler finished their dinner today with their own thoughts. The atmosphere at home today was particularly silent.

  Renekton wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin and said, "I feel dizzy after sleeping for too long. I'll go to the study to read a book. Uncle Sean, you can go to rest after you are done. If there is anything, I will handle it myself."

  After saying this, Renekton got up and went to the study without waiting for the butler to respond.

  "Okay, young master." The butler's response came from behind.

  In the study, Renekton took one book after another from the bookshelf, but he couldn't calm down to read. He simply stopped reading and got up to go to the second floor.

  He took down the coat thrown on the cabinet in his room and the sealed object, the great magician's hat.

  Renekton took out the feather given to him by the crow incarnated as an angel, and after observing it for a while, he inserted it into the red silk scarf on the hat.

  As the red feathers were inserted into the tall hat, the hat seemed to come alive, twisting on the table, as if trying to shake off the feathers stuck on it.

  But no matter how hard the hat twisted itself, it could not get rid of the red feathers stuck on it. Finally, it calmed down as if it had compromised, and even the slightly curled front and back brims were flattened. It seemed that the whole hat had been lying flat.

  After confirming that the great magician's hat had been completely sealed by the red feathers given by the crow, Renekton took the hat in his hands and used divination to re-understand the effect of the hat after being sealed:

  as long as this hat is worn on the head, it will have super body coordination and balance ability, precise body control ability, and at the same time, one's lies will be easier to believe.

  It can still use those tricks, including fog, flash, burning, freezing and wind, but now each trick can only be used five times a day, and the intensity is not high, so it has no practical significance.

  The ability of this hat as a magic prop and weapon has been strengthened. In addition to the original ability to use the hat as a flying knife to attack the enemy, it also has some apprentice path abilities. The hat can be placed on a wall or tabletop with a barrier, and the hand can reach through the hat to touch the object on the other side.

  The negative effects of this hat have also been weakened a lot. The strong desire to perform that the hat itself carries has weakened the influence on the user. It only needs to wear the hat to perform magic and tricks in front of people a few times a day.

  This hat still has certain living characteristics, but it will not constantly seduce the user. As long as different books are stuffed into the hat every once in a while every day, the seduce ability of this hat will be greatly weakened.

  After understanding the effect of this hat after being sealed, Renekton can only say that he is worthy of being an angel of the White Tower Path. Not only has he sealed most of the negative effects of this sealed object, but he can also enhance the positive effects. What

  's more terrifying is that now a sealed object is forced to read books. I mourned for this poor hat in my heart. I casually stuffed the book I had placed on the table into the hat.

  Although he didn't need to use the hat now, it was a happy thing to help the hat. Anyway, the Church of Knowledge had no shortage of books. Even if he stuffed different books into the hat every day, he might be able to stuff it for hundreds of years.

  Renekton noticed that a bright copper ornament was exposed where the book was originally pressed. Then he put the hat with a book stuffed in it aside and picked up the ornament to look at it for a moment.

  "Oh my god! How could I forget it? I haven't returned it yet!" Renekton remembered what he had forgotten. When

  he saw the ornament, Renekton was stunned for a while before he remembered that it was the relic of the member of the Moss Ascetic Order. The captain asked him to bring it back for research and maybe he would find something, but he just forgot about it.

  "But it should exist so that I can draw that pattern when I meditate!" Renekton guessed, recalling his previous experience in meditation.

  "Forget it, I'll take it back to the captain tomorrow and say that I didn't find anything." After thinking about how to deal with it, Renekton casually put it in his coat pocket.

  "Pah! Pah!"

  There was a sound of slapping coming from the window of the room. Renekton looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was the crow incarnated as an angel.

  Renekton hurried over to open the window and let the crow in.

  "Ga~" The crow cried twice, then tilted its neck and spit out two jelly-like things from its mouth.

  One of the clumps was light green in color, expanding and contracting slowly, as if it had life. The other clump was dark green in color, and kept deforming irregularly, as if it was trying to grow hands and feet.     "Extraordinary characteristics?" This was the first thought that came to Renekton's mind.

  "A sequence 9 cultivator's characteristic and a sequence 8 physician's characteristic are from the same path." The voice of the crow sounded directly in Renekton's mind.

  "Is this part of the characteristic that was extracted from that vampire in Yas before?" Renekton asked curiously.

  "Yes, this is part of the deal I made with the vampire viscount who failed to jump to the path. I took his child away from there, and he gave me the extra characteristics of the ancient alchemist's characteristic." The crow responded.

  "Wasn't he already contaminated at that time?" Renekton asked in confusion.

  Renekton always felt that it was a bit incredible that a contaminated vampire viscount could make a deal with an angel at the last moment and let the other party save his child.

  "He has too many messy characteristics and pollution, but he has grasped a delicate balance and retained part of his consciousness to make a deal with me." The voice of the crow in Renekton's mind was also a bit incredible.

  Renekton felt that if the conditions were not allowed, the angel might want to study how this delicate balance was achieved.

  "If he had not been contaminated, the Viscount would have injected his own vampire characteristics into his child." The incarnation of the angel was eager to speak.

  "Then why didn't he do that? Couldn't you crush the characteristics and then slowly aggregate and reorganize them? That way, the pollution could be cleaned up, right?" Renekton asked in confusion.

  "It is indeed possible, but do you think ordinary people know this way to clean the residual pollution in the characteristics?" The other party's voice asked in Renekton's mind.

  "Well, I took it for granted." Renekton also felt that his question was a bit stupid.

  This way of cleaning the residual pollution in the characteristics is basically difficult to know except for angels or people with high enough status. Mr. Fool, who was still hanging on the Sefirah Castle, also searched for a long time before he learned this information from the Little Sun.

  "Excuse me, do you know any way to speed up my digestion of the Reader's characteristics in my body?" Renekton hesitated and asked this question.

  Renekton himself was also helpless. Obviously, the characteristics of Sequence 8 were digested after deducing the reasons behind this incident, but the characteristics of Sequence 9 in his body showed no signs of digestion.

  The crow, the incarnation of an angel, stared at Renekton for a long time before speaking: "Read and master knowledge, do you still need to ask me such a simple question?"

  "I want to know if there is a faster way." Renekton himself felt speechless.

  "Use extraordinary abilities to speed up." As soon as the crow finished speaking, it flew away from the table.

  Renekton's mouth twitched slightly. He felt that he was treated as a fool by this crow. The other party was speechless and directly complained about him.

  "It seems that there is really no shortcut to go. I can only read books honestly in the next few days." Renekton sighed, feeling a little disappointed.

  He went to his father's room and found two iron cigarette boxes. He put the two characteristics in each and then isolated them from the outside world with the spiritual wall.

  Then he cleaned out a cabinet in his room for collections and put the sealed great magician's hat and the two extraordinary characteristics in each.

  "I must collect all the seals and characteristics of the twenty-two paths in the future." Looking at the empty cabinet after cleaning up, Renekton's collecting habit was aroused. Chapter 34 Magical Beasts

  Because he slept too long during the day, Renekton was now looking at the crimson moon outside the window without any sleepiness. In the end, he simply picked up a book and leaned against the window, reading quietly under the bright moonlight.

  Perhaps it was because such a quiet night was very suitable for reading, Renekton was actually immersed in it unconsciously. It was not until he finished reading a book that Renekton stood up and stretched his body with a sense of unsatisfaction.

  The potion of the Sequence 9 reader in his body was digested a small part at this moment.

  "It seems that reading books completely immersed in it can really digest the potion well, but there are a lot of books to read." Renekton carefully felt the changes in his body.

  He found that the digestion brought by reading a book was very subtle for a complete characteristic. Renekton estimated that if he did not completely read and master the knowledge of dozens or hundreds of books, it would be difficult to digest the reader characteristics in his body.

  "There is a long way to go!" After sighing, Renekton put down the book in his hand and lay down on the bed to rest.

  The next morning, the housekeeper woke Renekton up. He rubbed his body, which was sore from his back and neck due to improper posture, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

  Then he had breakfast at the housekeeper's request, and then went to the Executor Team to clock in for work.

  Today's task should be to clean up Hawk Street and the polluted areas around it. Renekton originally wanted to wear the Great Magician's hat, which was his only sealed item now, and it was strong enough after being sealed with the feathers left by the angel.

  But if he took out the hat before the clown incident was completely over, everyone would know that he had stolen a piece of the spoils. In the end, Renekton decided to let the hat stay in the cabinet to read.

  When Renekton came to the office of the Executor Team, only Mr. Kos and the captain were there.

  "Good morning, captain."

  "Good morning, Mr. Kos."

  "Good morning, Renekton."

  After greeting each other, Renekton walked straight to Captain Ikonton and took out the ornament he had forgotten at home.

  "Captain, here, I forgot to return it before." Renekton said, reaching out from his jacket pocket and taking out the relic of the member of the Moss Ascetic Order.

  "Well, it's okay, you didn't find anything?" Captain Ikonton nodded and asked indifferently.

  "No." Renekton shook his head and replied.

  "Well, it's okay, this is normal, maybe there are some other factors missing, if you have any ideas, you can always come to me for it." Captain Ikonton said a few simple words and then changed the subject.

  Renekton wanted to go back to his seat to read, but he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Captain, did you go to clean up the polluted area yesterday? What's the situation there now?"

  "Well, almost all the animals, plants, and even the lifeless rocks and soil there have mutated, and that area is affected by unknown things. As long as you stay there, you will have a strong desire to reproduce. In short, the cleaning process is very troublesome." Captain Ikonton briefly described the situation in that area.

  "Oh!" Renekton nodded thoughtfully, and returned to his seat to read without further questioning.

  In order to digest the reader's characteristics in his body as quickly as possible, Renekton could only immerse himself in the ocean of knowledge as much as possible.

  After the team members arrived one after another, Captain Ikonton asked everyone to get ready and set out to clean up the contaminated area.

  Renekton also got a box of extraordinary bullets engraved with runes, two boxes of ordinary bullets, and two of the previously used dispelling spells and imprisoning spells.

  After putting everything away, everyone took a carriage in twos and threes to Hawk Street. Renekton, Josie, and Joseph got on a carriage.

  "It's a pity that you didn't come yesterday. You don't know what strange creatures in that area have become, such as grass with long legs running away, and deer that are half plant and half animal. It's simply beyond our imagination." Josie said what she saw yesterday with an incredible look on her face.

  "Why do I feel like you want to study them all?" Renekton felt that this guy's tone was not right.

  "Isn't this normal? They are all brand new species! The research value is very high, but it's a pity that the captain doesn't allow it." Josie said with a longing look.

  Renekton felt that this guy was now unable to communicate, and turned his eyes to Joseph sitting on the other side. As a result, Joseph also had a pity expression.

  Renekton could only swallow back what he was about to say, and silently complained in his heart: "I often don't fit in with you because I am too normal."

  Along the way, Josie was talking about the various strange creatures they saw yesterday. It was not until they arrived at their destination that Renekton had the opportunity to find an excuse to find Mr. Kos.     Mr. Kos and two extraordinary people from the Church of the Earth were discussing something on the side. One of them was Usser, whom Renekton had met.

  There was also a strange extraordinary person who was about thirty years old, with brown shoulder-length curly hair, wearing a priest's robe,

  and carrying a sickle on his back that was one size larger than an ordinary farm tool. "Why are you here? It's safer to stay at the edge of the cordon with Josie and the others." Although Mr. Kos said this, he still turned his body to make room for Renekton.

  "I want to join your action. Compared with being on guard at the periphery, I still want to get involved in frontal combat. This can greatly improve my ability to fight head-on. And with you, Mr. Kos, by my side, safety is guaranteed!" Renekton said half-truthfully.

  It is true that he wants to improve his ability to fight head-on through fighting, but he wants to be familiar with fighting skills more. The next sequence of the Secret Peer is called the Fighting Scholar. Although his Secret Peer path is a gift and does not need to be digested and acted, he still needs to be familiar with and master it.

  "Front-on battle is very dangerous." It was not Mr. Kos who said this, but the strange Earth Church Extraordinary.

  The other party looked at Renekton with some doubts, not with malice or contempt, but with kind reminders.

  "Well, I know." Renekton nodded to show that he knew these and was prepared.

  "Haha! Jin, you can rest assured about his strength. I killed a clown's clone with this executor of the Church of Knowledge before." Ursel laughed and rescued Renekton.

  Then Ursel introduced his companion to Renekton: "This is Jin Caines, our pastor and also a doctor."

  Then he turned around and introduced Renekton to the companion named Jin: "This is Renekton, the executor of the Church of Knowledge."

  "Hello." Renekton and the doctor named Jin Caines greeted each other.

  "Where is your Extraordinary pet cat? Why didn't you bring it with you? Are you worried that the environment here will affect it?" After seeing Renekton and Jin know each other, Ursel immediately asked Renekton about Pas.

  It seems that Pas left a deep impression on the harvest priest of the Church of the Earth.

  Renekton shook his head and said, "It left with its owner. It is not my extraordinary pet. The reason why I appeared there that day was because I was taking it to find its owner!"

  "So that's the case. What a pity. I originally wanted to ask you for your experience in raising extraordinary pets." Ussel said disappointedly.

  "Raise extraordinary creatures? I remember there is a sequence called animal trainer in the pharmacist path. Can you ask them for advice?" Renekton gave other suggestions.

  Ussel shook his head and said, "They rely on their own extraordinary abilities and the attraction to animals brought by magic potions. I don't have these."

  "Yeah, but why do you have the idea of ​​raising an extraordinary pet? Magic potions are not cheap, and the probability of animals losing control after taking magic potions is too high." Renekton asked puzzledly.

  "Because of the special environment here, although most of the mutated creatures are full of madness, there are still some that are not infected by madness. Instead, they have some strange extraordinary abilities because of the presence of some magic potions in them, which can be regarded as magical animals." Kim Caines gave an explanation.

  Rekton suddenly felt that he was also a little tempted and wanted to raise a magical animal.

  "There are not too many such magical animals, and most of their extraordinary abilities are useless. That is why they can remain rational. Of course, if you want, you can also give them corresponding magic potions to promote them, and their success rate of promotion is much higher than that of ordinary animals." Mr. Kos gave a more detailed explanation.

  After listening to Mr. Kos's narration, Rekton's eyes lit up and he thought of the two extraordinary characteristics of the cultivator's path in his home.

  Then he asked Ussel, "Ussel, do you know where there are magical animals that remain rational? I want a good-looking one. I also want to raise one."

  "I know a mutated colorful parrot. It can talk. Its extraordinary ability is lying. But because of the mutation, it has become colorful and pretty." Ussel said.

  Renekton imagined a parrot with seven-colored feathers in his mind, then shook his head, feeling that it was a bit non-mainstream.

  "You can ask Thea. She and the captain are quite deep in this area, and Thea caught a leopard-sized gray-blue short-tailed cat yesterday. However, the big cat was too badly injured by her yesterday and is still recovering, so you didn't see it." Mr. Kos gave a suggestion.

  "A leopard-sized gray-blue short-tailed cat?" Renekton thought of the big cat that appeared when the people here were evacuated.

  The big cat was shot by Thea at the time. It couldn't have come back for revenge, and then was severely beaten again, and finally caught by Thea. Renekton guessed in his heart, and suddenly felt that the cat was also quite miserable.  Chapter 35 Cleaning up the polluted area

  After Usser and the others learned about the magical animals, Renekton couldn't help but run to Thea and ask her to help him keep an eye out for any good-looking magical animals.

  As a result, Thea and the captain had already gone to the deepest part of the polluted area with the staff of the Church of the Earth to investigate the situation.

  "So you want to raise a magical animal?" Jessica asked Renekton, who came to ask about Thea's whereabouts, with a curious look on her face.

  "Yes." Renekton nodded.

  "But although these magical animals have extraordinary abilities in all aspects, they are not strong, and are even very weak. If you can't give them the corresponding potion, they can't be your helpers." Jessica analyzed the pros and cons and said.

  "I don't raise magical animals to make them my helpers. It's just like everyone raises cats and dogs as pets. I raise them if I want to!" Renekton said in a matter-of-fact tone.

  Jessica was stunned for a moment, then shook her head as if she had thought of something, and then a smile rose on her face again: "It seems that I have been in the Church of Knowledge for a long time, and my thinking has unconsciously tended to be a rational scholar."

  Then Jessica solemnly nodded to Renekton to thank him: "Thank you for your reminder, otherwise I would not have discovered this problem. It seems that I also need to raise a magical animal to improve my mental state."

  Renekton was still in a state of confusion at this time: "Well, I didn't say anything, you figured it out yourself."

  "Haha, but your words reminded me, don't be so polite, my gratitude is justified." Jessica chuckled and said.

  "There is a saying that the audience is the least likely way to lose control, and it is also the easiest way to lose control. Now do you know how much influence the words just now have on me?" Jessica smiled and explained.

  From her voice, it can be heard that she is very happy now. Being able to discover some problems in your thinking and solve them in time can avoid problems that are likely to arise in the future.

  "Congratulations!" Renekton smiled and nodded to congratulate.

  "I can't stay here all the time. I'll go around and see if there are any magical animals that are suitable as pets. What kind of small animals do you like? I'll keep an eye out for you." Jessica thought for a moment and said.

  "As long as they look good, it's fine." Rekton said casually.

  "Okay, I'll keep an eye out." Jessica nodded, then turned around and wandered around somewhere else.

  After Jessica left, Rekton also returned to Mr. Koss and Ussell's team. Then the four of them began to clean up the mutants in the surrounding area along the road.

  This is a polluted outer area. After a round of cleaning yesterday afternoon and the mutants fighting each other, there are not many surviving mutants.

  On an abandoned street covered with vines and weeds, Rekton and the other four stood back to back in a circle, each guarding a direction and moving forward cautiously.

  Today's sun is particularly dazzling. In the sun, the vines that climbed all over the walls of the house swayed their green leaves, and the thorns that entangled the gas street lamps were actually full of flowers. There was no sound of insects around.

  This made Renekton feel that he and his companions had not come to a dangerous mutant area, but to a green theme park.

  "The plants here are too lush." ​​Renekton exclaimed.

  "And they grow very fast. We just burned all the plants here yesterday." Jin also said.

  "Perhaps it's because the church's attack on the central area yesterday was too heavy, causing the pollution in the area to spread outward." Mr. Kos gave an explanation.

  "The pollution is not a living thing, how can it run away?" Jin didn't understand.

  "The pollution is not a living thing, but the polluted is alive, and they will run." Renekton also felt that this possibility was very high after hearing Mr. Kos's explanation.

  "Then today's periphery is more dangerous than yesterday!" Ussel was also a little nervous at this time.

  Most of the people stationed in the periphery of the Earth Church were injured. If those mutant creatures were still fleeing to the periphery, it would easily cause casualties.

  "It's just a possibility, we still need to observe it first." Mr. Kos stabilized the emotions of the temporary team.

  The four continued to move forward carefully in a green street with trees. The further they went, the weirder the plants on the ground looked.

  Renekton had already seen a two-story-high tree with only a trunk but no leaves, a red plant that looked like sugar cane, with barbs all over its body, including its leaves, and a plant that bore fruits that looked like tumbleweeds.

  Renekton felt that he roughly understood why Jin said that they burned all the plants here yesterday. There was not a single normal plant in sight.

  "Bang!" Mr. Kos suddenly fired at a bunch of plants that looked like tumbleweeds on the ground.     "Woo~" A half-human-high fish monster with hands and feet came out from inside. Blue blood was flowing from one of its hands. It looked like it was shot by Mr. Kos.

  The appearance of this fish monster was really a bit strange. It was like a fish with a pair of webbed hands and feet, and a set of fangs.

  After getting out of the bushes, the fish monster rushed directly towards Mr. Kos who had just shot. Mr. Kos fired three more shots without dodging, two of which hit the opponent's body and one hit the eye. The fish monster seemed to have no sense of pain and still rushed straight towards Mr. Kos.

  At this time, Renekton and Ussell, who reacted, were also ready to attack the fish monster, but the fish monster passed by Mr. Kos and ran away quickly.

  When the fish monster passed a gas street lamp entangled by thorns, it was entangled by the thorns that suddenly moved.

  The fish monster was tripped and fell to the ground, but the thorns had no intention of letting it go. They seemed to be growing wildly, entangled the fish monster more and more, and some thorns drilled into the fish monster's body.

  The fish monster kept twisting and struggling on the ground, showing great pain, but it did not make any sound from beginning to end. It seemed that its vocal cords disappeared during the mutation process, and it was finally entangled by the thorns and dragged into the ground.

  Renekton felt a little numb when watching this scene. He and his friends just passed by there. But he did not notice the abnormality of the thorns at all.

  "I didn't expect the ability of the cultivator's path to be so useful here!" Mr. Kos's words came from behind.

  Renekton immediately turned his head to look at Ursel standing on his left hand side, and the other party just smiled.

  "It's not that easy to use. Only a small number of plants can resonate with my extraordinary ability, so that I can drive them by consuming spirituality." Ursel explained.

  Renekton asked curiously, "Is there any difference between plants that can resonate with your extraordinary ability and ordinary plants?"

  Ussel shook his head, "It's not obvious on the surface. To be more specific, these plants are considered to be relatively normal types of mutations in this area."

  "Normal mutations? Does it mean that the influence of the mutation comes from the ancient alchemist, rather than the characteristics of the blood clan viscount and the characteristics of the clown?" Renekton guessed in his heart.

  "Then how to clean up these mutated plants here? These plants don't seem to be easy to mess with." Renekton thought of the performance of the thorns under Ussel's control just now, and felt that the skin on his hands was about to get goose bumps.

  "These plants can only depend on whether the bishop and his men can do anything. Their roots are deeply buried. If their roots cannot be removed, they will grow again even if they are all burned." Ussel explained.

  Renekton didn't ask any more questions. He could probably guess what was going on. These plants perfectly embodied the vitality represented by the cultivator's path.

  After this episode, Renekton walked more cautiously on the road. If there weren't two Beyonders in the Cultivator Path in the team, Renekton felt that he would throw a stone to test every plant he saw.

  I don't know if it was because they had already cleaned up a round yesterday or because the mutated Beyonder creatures here followed the law of Beyonder characteristic aggregation. Renekton and his companions didn't encounter any Beyonder animals except the fish monster they just encountered.

  "Wait a minute, there is some hallucinogenic poison in the air ahead." Ussel interrupted the group's progress.

  Then he took out a transparent glass bottle from the package on his back, which contained many small red pills. Ussel took out four pills and gave one to each person.

  "This is an antidote pill, which was just made last night. It can deal with most of the toxins here, but one pill can only last for twenty minutes. We need to remember the time and take it continuously without interruption." Ussel explained.

  "No problem." Mr. Kos and Renekton nodded at the same time.

  "Then get ready to go. I can feel several strong life forces in there. Be careful." Ussel said as he took out a handful of seeds of some unknown crop from the package and scattered some around.

  Renekton held a gun in one hand and held the unconfined spell in the other. He walked side by side with Jin from the Church of the Earth behind Mr. Koss. As they moved forward, they paid attention to the movements behind them.

  There were many vines crisscrossing in this area, like a large web woven by a spider.

  Since entering this area, Renekton felt that there was a vague sight around him watching him, but he couldn't find the other party's position.

  After hesitating for a moment, Renekton took the initiative to use the Eye of Peering, and the surrounding vision was suddenly covered with a thick layer of color blocks. Most of these color blocks were green, with different shades, and some red and purple blocks were mixed in.

  Each of the intertwined vines seemed to have life, shrinking and expanding at a moderate pace in the sight of Renekton's Eye of Secrets. At the same time, these vines seemed to be a whole, and their rhythm of shrinking and expanding was exactly the same.

  Looking at these vines, Renekton seemed to see a pair of blood-red eyes from behind them, looking at him.
