"Why, since you want something from me, why don't you seek cooperation with me from the beginning?"
Faced with Xiao Zhimiao's question, Zhao Chengming did not answer.
She saw a golden curse seal flashing in his hand. He closed his palm and disappeared into the darkness.
Seeing the curse seal, Xiao Zhi was startled. This curse seal was...
It looked familiar to her, but she couldn't place it for a moment. Looking at the direction of the pattern on the curse seal, it seemed that this curse seal was at least at the level of a demi-god.
This is not a warrior skill. She has studied the curse seals of every profession. Even if it is a god-level curse seal, every profession has commonalities and similarities.
And the skill seal in his hand is not the skill seal of a warrior, nor does it look like the skill seal of any other profession.
What are the conditions that Zhao Chengming wants to negotiate with her?
Thinking that Xia Dou was in his hands, she became a little depressed. She never liked being threatened.
Zhao Chengming not only wanted something from her, but he was also threatening her.
His attack just now told her that even his ability alone could compete with several of them, and his goal was to kill Xu Zhilan.
He received this mission assigned to him by the gods above. If Xu Zhilan didn't die, he would be hunted down until Xu Zhilan died.
People like them don't trust each other too much, so they can only use this method of threatening each other and testing each other.
But Zhao Chengming could just tell her directly what his conditions were.
If he didn't say anything, he was hiding something.
She raised her head and glanced at the dark sky. Zhao Chengming was guarding against the people above.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhimiao's heart moved and she understood.
If Zhao Chengming wanted to guard against the people above, he must have a way to shield them. The golden curse seal was used to shield them, so he did not tell her his conditions.
If she made it too clear, she would have a clear purpose and be easily noticed by the gods above.
And if he was someone under the gods' control, he wouldn't have to guard against them at all.
He accepted the mission assigned to him by the gods, and wanted to exchange Xu Zhilan and Xia Dou for his conditions. From this point of view, he was not a man of the gods, at least not a lackey of believers who faithfully performed the mission.
Then there is only one possibility, he is threatened.
Xiao Zhimiao looked at Darcy. God threatened him with Darcy?
No, if it was Darcy, it would be very obvious, it should be something else.
If her guess is correct, the height that Zhao Chengming has reached now is between a demigod and a god.
The gods above spy on the human world and use system permissions.
If people below want to block this kind of snooping, they must also use system permissions.
Or if you have certain god-level props and skills, it’s not that simple to just block them.
Just like the shielding magic circle she placed in the forest house in Sayar Town, it also required the divine authority of her night witch to make it.
The curse seal in Zhao Chengming's hand just now is not a god-level skill or prop. He has some kind of system authority. This is the authority that can only be obtained by reaching god-level skills.
So now he must be at least a demigod, unless there is a god above to help him. If a god gives him a curse seal to shield him from prying eyes, it means that the gods above are divided into several factions, but they are not suitable for him. To the logic of the mission to kill them.
So she prefers that he obtains the permission himself.
He was almost reaching godhood himself, but there was still something he couldn't do to ask her for help. She became more and more curious about what it was.
"Come on, we won't be able to handle another wave of monsters."
Xuanye urged her.
Xiao Zhimiao thought to himself, I'm afraid those monsters have been lured away by Zhao Chengming now.
Their magic power has reached the bottom, and they won't be able to resist another wave monster. He won't let her and Xu Zhilan die. Once they die, no one will help him.
As she expected, there were few words on their way to the church.
Whatever monsters they encounter, even if one or two pop up occasionally, they can easily deal with them.
This also shows that Zhao Chengming is very familiar with the route of this church. He has been to the church.
Although side missions cannot be shared, she showed him the side missions panel in the hotel before, and she didn't know how many churches he had found.
She asked Xuanye again about the number of witches they had captured, and then compared the progress of the main mission.
The current progress of the main mission of catching witches is 62%. In this way, Zhao Chengming has captured a lot of witches. He gave her three pieces of golden witch hunting cards alone.
Before, she had watched him hand in witches at the gate of the Holy City.
It seems that Zhao Chengming is very actively advancing the task process.
In this way, she would save a lot of effort, and Zhao Chengming was cooperating with her in disguise by being so active in promoting the task.
"The church has arrived."
Arriving at their destination, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Zhimiao shook his head and concentrated on looking at the church in front of him.
Xu Zhilan carried her on his back all the way. In order to prevent any further accidents, she did not use any magic power. Now she has recovered a little bit, but it has not exceeded the limit.
Under the lighting of the props, Xiao Zhimiao looked at the church in front of him. It was not small, but a little dilapidated and desolate.
Compared to the church outside the copy, the style is more retro.
Xiao Zhimiao also sensed the magic circle covering the church. The familiar smell was Sethia's spell.
It seems that the god enshrined in this church is her.
No wonder she said she didn't know about this church before, and Xuanye looked at her strangely.
Xuanye pushed open the half-opened door, and the group followed into the church.
There was a dull smell of dust inside, and both Darcy and Zhu Yunyin choked and coughed twice.
Xuanye took out the fire props and lit the candles in the church.
The bright firelight illuminated the church, allowing everyone to see the statue of the god enshrined in the church. .
The statue has its hands folded in front of its lower abdomen, with long curly hair falling around its waist. It is covered with a veil and a witch's robe. Its facial features are exquisite and beautiful, and its peaceful expression is a bit cunning. Different from those dignified and serious statues, this statue has The statue looked like a god possessing the emotions of a mortal. Although he was patient, his eyes still showed some emotion.
The person who carved this statue must know this god very well, otherwise he would not be able to carve it so lifelike, and even his expressions could be so vivid.
Seeing this kind of statue, Darcy opened his mouth wide and looked back and forth between Xiao Zhimiao and the statue several times.
"Boss, you look too much like this statue!"
This is more than a resemblance, it is exactly the same.
Zhu Yunyin looked at her in surprise, it was indeed so similar.
If it was just a resemblance, it might just be a coincidence, but Xiao Zhimiao's abilities beyond the scope of the Almighty profession had to make them think more.
Xiao Zhimiao glanced at the statue in front of her and found a chair to sit down. She was tired after a busy night and needed a good rest.
The other people were also very tired. Xiao Zhimiao didn't say anything, and they didn't bother to ask. They didn't care about the dirty chairs, so they all found chairs to sit down or lie down.
As soon as Darcy lay down, he let out a long sigh of relief.
To be honest, he was really scared to death by Xiao Zhimiao just now, and he felt that she would really kill him with one knife.
The moment she put the knife on his neck, he actually had the urge to run to Zhao Chengming.
Although Zhao Chengming kills people without blinking an eye, he is always safe in a dungeon with him, and he kills almost all other players and dungeon monsters. He actually lives quite comfortably... .
Xiao Zhimiao leaned on Xu Zhilan's shoulder and closed her eyes for a while, then opened her eyes and looked at the back of Xuan Ye's head who was sitting in front of her.
She stretched out her foot and kicked the back of the chair of the person in front of her. Xuanye frowned.
The voice was a little sleepy: "What to do?"
Xiao Zhimiao: "Let me ask you, did you happen to come across this place when you were catching witches?"
"Well, it's a blue-level witch. I caught her near the church. She ran towards the church, and I found this place."
Xiao Zhimiao thought for a while, took out the witch hunting map, stood up and leaned towards Xuan Ye.
"Do you remember which place it is?"
Xiao Zhimiao suddenly approached, Xuanye felt her breath and moved to the side, and quietly pushed away her long hair that fell on his neck.
He took the witch hunting map from Xiao Zhimiao's hand, looked for it, pointed to one of the places and said, "This is here. I teleported it directly from the teleportation array. We can go to other places through the nearby teleportation array during the day tomorrow. The premise is that the teleportation array has not changed."
Xiao Zhimiao looked at the location he pointed at. The red witch logo had disappeared, and then followed this location to find the location of the church where they were now.
She saw a special mark. The mark was very small and appeared and disappeared. Xuanye looked at her fingertips at this position and also found the mark. He got closer to look at it at the same time as her.
As soon as he got closer, he moved away a little uncomfortably.
"It's a rose..."
Hearing Xiao Zhimiao murmur, he leaned over to take a look again, and found that it was indeed a rose mark.
Xiao Zhimiao immediately photographed the other people who were resting on the chairs and asked them to take out the witch hunting map and look for the place where the rose mark was hidden on the map.
Darcy saw that the rose mark was only a quarter of the size of his fingernail, and couldn't help scratching his head: "It's so small, and the map is so big, it's a bit hard to find."
Zhu Yunyin unfolded the witch hunter map, looked at the rose mark that Xiao Zhimiao was looking for and other features of the map location, and said, "It's not hard to find. The system still gave us other hints."
Darcy: "What hint?"
Zhu Yunyin: "The church is also marked with a simple pattern. The side mission we want to advance is the twelve statues of gods. The statues are all in the church. We only need to find the logo of the church and then look for the rose marks one by one. With the rose The seal should be the church where the statue of the Twelve Witches God is located.”
After Xiao Zhimiao heard what Zhu Yunyin said, a glint of appreciation flashed in her eyes. From the previous interactions, she found that Zhu Yunyin had a calm and clear mind and was a good player in the dungeon.
