Chapter 394: Boring is a positive word

Chapter 394: Boring is a compliment
In the study, Li Zhongren was flipping through a book.

Some historical records about this world.

But it was collected by his ancestors.

It's kind of like a diary.

Through this book, he has a deeper understanding of the world.

A world of sword and sorcery.

This is the tone.

Then, the forces in this world are divided into the following modules.

kingdom.

Extraordinary organization.

religion.

Among them, the kingdom can be further subdivided into lords like him.

The supernatural organizations are those common organizations in Western fantasy elements, such as mercenaries, magic guilds, and so on. Of course, the Seven Sisters Witch are also included. The only difference is that the supernatural methods of other organizations are inherited, stable and controllable.

Only witches are born with natural awakenings and cannot be controlled.

So, in Li Zhongren's opinion, this thing is more like the mutants in the Marvel world.

The strong ones are really strong, and the weak ones are really weak. Many witches don’t even want to become witches.

Finally, there is religion.

There are gods in this world, but they are not the normal gods, the gods of religious beliefs, who have no self.

They are more like an aggregation of the beliefs of countless believers, or they can be similar to the national destiny of some otherworldly world.

This thing can feed back divine power to religious members.

Religions that were recognized by a kingdom, or were strong enough to establish a kingdom, were called Orthodox.

Those that are not recognized by the kingdom and are too bloody and perverted are called cults.

In the world of Faerun, this thing is even more hated by everyone than witches.

Evil god, that is a term that can really make a child stop crying.

Finally, in addition to the above types, there is another special one.

That's Sanren.

After all, this is a world of extraordinary power.

The world of personal power systems.

So, when you are strong enough, you can ignore all the rules.

This type of people can be classified as independent people. They are alone, but they also have a significant impact on the entire world. At the same time, all rules are not rules to them.

Take witches, for example.

Everyone is calling for a beating and a killing.

However, if it is a witch who has fully awakened the power of her bloodline.

Then, no one would want to capture her.

After all, people fear witches because they possess powerful powers that are incompatible with their souls, like giving the button of a nuclear bomb to a child.

However, witches whose bloodline has been fully awakened do not have this disadvantage.

For example, the seven leaders of the Seven Sisters Society are all witches of this level.

However, it is not easy for a witch to fully awaken her bloodline.

At least, from the day witches appeared to the present day, the number of witches who have fully awakened their bloodline can probably be counted on one hand.
However, it is undeniable that such a witch, if brought out, can dominate the world.

And this is exactly what Li Zhongren was planning.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, Li Zhongren glanced at the three-dimensional map and saw a figure walking quietly towards the dungeon. When he got closer, he saw that it was a beautiful woman.

He remembered arriving at the Iris City this morning.

At this moment, she was like a lonely place.

No one seemed to notice her.

Then, it should be the witch from the Seven Sisters Society.

Mai Jia was surrounded by a faint mist as she walked through the dungeon. Neither the guards nor the other prisoners in the dungeon seemed to be able to see her.

Finally, she stopped outside the cell where Anna was.

The person imprisoned in the cell was the target she intended to rescue this time.

"not bad."

The first time he saw Anna, Mai Jia's heart settled down.

Although the clothes on his body were worn out, they were intact.

There were no injuries on his body, hands or face.

He looks good, and it seems that he is not hungry.

Everything was in keeping with the lord's style.

On the way here, the organization investigated this lord.

A rare good lord in this era.

This somewhat closed territory cannot be said to be thriving under his rule, but most of the people living here can live a stable but boring life.

Yes, in this era, boring can be a compliment.

"Hello, Anna."

Hearing the sound, Anna looked up and saw a woman who suddenly appeared in front of her.

The woman lifted the cloak from her head.

"Do you know you've become a witch?"

"know."

Anna took a deep breath and nodded, and at the same time she couldn't help but think of what the lord had said before, that the Seven Sisters would contact you, and at that time, you could make your own choice.

"Let me introduce myself. I am also a witch. I come from the Seven Sisters Society, an organization created by seven great witches. Its purpose of existence is to help witches in the world of Faerun escape the fate of being burned."

"And you, we will get you out."

"Just not now."

"I know."

Anna nodded.

"The Lord told me."

"Oh?"

Mai Jia was slightly stunned, then nodded.

"That's even better. Just be patient for a few more days. We will kidnap you on the way to transport you."

"Well, I want to ask something."

"You said."

"Can you take my parents away?"

"No."

Without any hesitation, Mai Jia shook his head.

"The Seven Sisters Society only rescues witches. In addition, the place where we live cannot accept ordinary people. Also, believe me, child, when you awaken as a witch, your fate with ordinary people will end. Even your parents will only be afraid of you in the future."

"No, my parents love me very much!"

"But your power will not."

Mai Jia shook his head again and briefly explained why witches were hated by everyone.

"When your power is no longer under your control, for ordinary people, you might just sneeze accidentally and burn down a house and the people inside it."

Mai Jia didn't continue talking because if he continued, it would be a personal attack, although it was also true.

People of this era are generally illiterate. They cannot read and have no wisdom in their heads, only relatively simple emotions.

For them, the fear of the witch's power will overcome some of them, and even their own children will make them feel fear and terror.

Countless records in the Seven Sisters Society prove this.

In fact, once a relationship of fear is established between the witch and her parents, it will accelerate her degeneration.

This is an analogical adjective, not a fall in the ordinary sense, but an expression of the soul succumbing to the desires of the flesh.

As a result, witches become monsters obsessed with desire.
It will become more brutal and disorderly.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable that the entire Faerun rejects witches.

"I see."

Anna blinked and said nothing more.
But deep down, she was thinking about the promise the lord had given her.

She was willing to believe this adult.

The stable life in recent years is proof of this.

Of course, she also witnessed the great power of the Lord.

"only."

Anna felt a little embarrassed when she thought about what the lord asked her to do.

"Can I really do this?"

"I must do this. I must protect my parents and stay by their side."

Mai Jia left.

She did nothing to comfort Anna.

After all, her way out is clear: either she joins the Seven Sisters Society or goes to the capital to become fuel.

Soon, she was reunited with her other two sisters.

At this time, it was already late at night.

"Sister, we have surveyed the entire town and found no ambush."

The witch who bought the butter bread earlier spoke.

"So, in other words, we just have to be careful of the people on the black ship."

While thinking, Mai Jia took out a map. It was a very detailed map of Iris City and its surrounding areas.

"Here! We'll ambush here."

Finally, Mai Jia chose the location.

This is on a cliff.

Below the cliff is the Steam Lake.

As mentioned earlier, some of the characteristics of the Steam Lake, so even the black ships sailed close to the edge.

Here, they can land directly on the ship and attack the guards of the black ship.

"Have you heard when the black ships will arrive?"

"I heard it's tomorrow."

"So fast?"

"Well, the tax collector here said so. I heard from him that Anna easily melted a pile of iron ingots into molten iron in order to help his father."

"Controlling fire isn't that uncommon, is it?"

"No, the fire she controls has a unique property."

"what?"

"The molten iron after being burned has spirituality."

"Ah this!!"

Mai Lin couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

Spirituality is an exclusive word to describe extraordinary materials.

And extraordinary materials have always been extremely rare.

There is no doubt that Anna's ability is absolutely precious enough.

In fact, the general way for the forces in this world to deal with witches is to burn them directly. However, for some witches with special abilities, they will also use special methods to turn them into their tools.
No wonder the Black Ship was so anxious. The news should have been passed on.

Mai Lin couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"If that's the case, we have to be more careful."

"Yeah, but with you here, big sister, we are definitely not afraid."

"I hope so."

Mai Lin couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly. She was confident enough in her own abilities, otherwise, she would not have accepted such a task. However, when Anna's ability became precious enough, she didn't dare to say that she would be able to do it.

However, there is no way. Faerun is very large and there are not many witches. It is impossible for them to save all the witches.
All I can say is, leave everything to fate.——
The next day, the black ship docked at the Steam Lake Port outside Iris City.

The black ship is not big, but it looks pitch black all over. No one knows what material it is made of. All we know is that this material can prevent the monsters in the Steam Lake from actively attacking them, but this technology is only in the hands of the royal capital.

In fact, Wangdu relied on this technology to monopolize the trade of the entire Steam Lake. Li Zhongren sold all his ore directly to Wangdu. Others did not have the ability to purchase large quantities and then sail on the lake.

"Sir, we have reached the shore. Please give us your instructions."

"Ah."

In a cabin of the black ship.

The man in the black robe stood up.

The cold flame quenched by lapis lazuli surged in the depths of his pupils. Three iron crowns of thorns woven with gold threads bound his long gray hair tightly. The loose hair hanging on his forehead was like a frosted blade.

He is affiliated with the Border Kingdom Royal Inquisition.

His identity is a referee and his position is referee patrol chief.

Yes.

The Border Kingdom was founded on religion and is a theocratic state.

The god of faith, the god of storms.

Because the capital of the Border Kingdom is located in Zemas, where there is a Storm Strait with fierce storms all year round. This also made the strong men who first founded the Border Kingdom have a new respect for it, and eventually it gradually evolved into a religion, and then the capital was created.

"Let's go and get the witch."

"Sir, aren't we waiting for the lord of this place to send the witch over?"

"This person is quite special."

The referee inspector said as he walked.

"Her ability can give materials spirituality. The power of a witch is often a reflection of the soul. Her father is a blacksmith, so it makes sense that she would have similar abilities. However, the lord did not block the news but allowed it to spread. I guess the people in the Seven Sisters Society also know about it now."

"Normally, our old rival would not kidnap a witch in the nobles' territory. To do so would push all the nobles to the opposite side. However, if the witch's abilities are particularly valuable, no one can guarantee it."

"Yes, my lord."

Soon, the court's team marched towards Li Zhongren's city in a mighty procession.

Of course, Li Zhongren saw this scene clearly.

So, the plan can start
At this moment, in front of Li Zhongren were Anna's parents. They stood there quietly, looking like puppets.

In fact it is.

This is Li Zhongren's expansion of his abilities.

It's not like possession, but like a mold.

The power of God's Hand completely enveloped the bodies of these two people. In a sense, it was similar to a layer of invisible Iron Man armor.

On the one hand, it was used to protect both of them.

Furthermore, the next scene requires some acting skills. Whether it is the two of them or Anna, I am afraid that they cannot deceive outsiders with their acting skills alone.
"Iris City, Baron Jack, nice to meet the Chief Judge."

At the city gate, Li Zhongren was already there to greet the man opposite him.

Of course, he knew that the other party was the chief referee, but as the saying goes, one should address a person by his or her title, not his or her deputy. When there is no one else around, he or she is the chief referee.

"It's the Chief Judge."

The man forced a smile on his cold face.

"Where is the witch?"

"My Lord, in the dungeon, please follow me."

After saying that, Li Zhongren brought the chief judge to the outside of the dungeon and ordered someone to bring Anna out.

Looking at the witch in front of him with handcuffs and shackles.

The referee inspector couldn't help but frowned slightly.

The reason is also very simple.

From her expression, I could not see the fear and helplessness that should be there, but a calm and indifferent look.
