What the Purple and Gold Demon Hunting Group did was nothing more than causing trouble for the farmers, making them unable to turn to Manstein and Freya with peace of mind.
So Yeze decided to take a step to remove the firepower. He kidnapped all the farmers who had a greater say in the situation, so that the Zijin Demon Hunting Group had no one to threaten.
If the old farmers really fail, they will naturally need new farmers to take over. Theoretically, Manstein can push a group of die-hard supporters to take over. Struggles for successors are not uncommon in any family.
Because the farmers were relatively scattered, in order to avoid the possibility of hiding after hearing any news, Yeze used the letters seized from Bubi to forge the seal of the Governor, trick the farmers into the same place, and cook them together.
Doing so would be equivalent to robbing the Zijin Demon Hunting Group of business. With the Zijin Demon Hunting Group's consistent behavior, they would never give up.
So, the next day, a news spread widely in Roscoe Province.
The Dark Hand Demon Hunting Group, which has made all major thieves fearful, is on the move again. But this time, they are acting on the evil side.
Since no commissions were obtained after wiping out the thieves group, and communication could not be achieved, the Dark Hand Demon Hunting Group kidnapped twenty-nine large farmers. They claimed that if the ransom was not paid, they would be killed. The Tulip Business Association was in Roscoe
Manstein, the interim head of the province, said that he would never bow to evil forces. If the hand of darkness dares to harm the farmers, then he will...then he will select a new group of farmers.
When the news came out, there was an uproar. Apart from being shocked, people didn't think there was anything strange about the Dark Hand's actions. Anyway, when they wiped out the thieves group before, everyone didn't treat them as normal people.
When Ye Ze formed the demon hunting group before, they were regarded as idiots. After wiping out the six thieves groups, no one dared to call them idiots anymore. However, when the news that they kidnapped the farmer came out, everyone thought they were stupid.
This is not normal. Maybe not an idiot, but definitely a lunatic.
Most people just wanted to watch the excitement, but some people couldn't sit still.
………………
"**! Those crazy people, crazy people!"
Paul of the Purple and Gold Demon Hunting Group is a very stable person, but now he looks like he is suffering from mania. His beard is up and down, he is walking back and forth, roaring: "Where did this hand of darkness come from?"
And that leader, what on earth is going on in his head? Is it bullshit..."
……………………
As the leader of a well-known demon hunting group registered in the Witcher Guild, Paul rarely accepts tasks outside of the Guild, especially those that are shady. However, when Mrs. Merlin found him, he was still tempted.
Paul is an ambitious man. Zijin is very powerful, but it is far from what he expected. His ideal is to make Zijin a top demon hunting group like the Hand of Light.
The empire is very tolerant of the demon hunting group and will basically not interfere with anything. But there is only one thing. The demon hunting group does not allow the existence of strong men above the dark gold level.
Paul is confident that the individual capabilities of the Purple and Gold Demon Hunting Group are not weaker than those of the Hand of Light. What they lack is strong backing and support to expand their scale. If they can get the support of the Tulip Business Association, surpassing the Hand of Light will not be a dream.
He planned this operation very carefully, only mobilizing half of the manpower, but all high-level professions were involved. Then he broke it into pieces and divided it into eight hundred-man teams, strictly demarcating the scope of activities. The six major thieves groups became suspects and also
Within his plan.
The original plan was perfect, and the farmers were powerless to resist. Even if they were to retaliate, six major thieves groups would take the blame. And he knew that three of the six major thieves groups had special backgrounds similar to Bubby's, which would definitely make the other party turn against them.
.
But they never expected that a newly formed small demon hunting group would appear out of thin air with only three members. But these three people wiped out all six major demon hunting groups without any regard for the possible consequences.
It's annoying to have the scapegoat killed, but who would have thought that the hand of darkness turned its face from being a bandit killer to a kidnapper.
……………………
"Captain!" A rude and arrogant man said in confusion: "It's none of our business if those farmers live or die, if they continue to do what we do, we'll be done with it."
"Cohen, don't forget our original intention." Paul calmed down and said, "Our mission is not on the farm, but on the farmers. If the Russ family jumps over the wall, really push a group of farmers to support them.
, our mission is tantamount to failure."
"Then completely destroy the farm!" Deputy leader Cohen, who has always been an activist, said fiercely: "Leave them in ruins."
"That's true, but it's not possible." Paul shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter if the farm suffers some damage. But if we go too far, the Tulip headquarters will no longer sit idly by and ignore what we are facing.
Damn the Hand of Darkness, but an opponent like the Hand of Light."
"Hand, hand, hand, they are just as annoying as him." Cohen muttered a few words, and said: "Then what should we do, go directly to the Hand of Darkness to settle the score?"
Paul nodded: "When the inside news comes back, as long as we are sure that the farmers are really kidnapped, we must take action."
As the leader of the group, although Paul was angry, he still kept a clear mind. He thought that this might be a conspiracy by the other party, so he wanted to get the exact information. Those farmers looked like old farmers, but they had a transcendent status.
.No matter it is the yellow-haired girl Freya, or the new man in power, Manstein, they don't have the guts to do something serious to them.
But what Paul didn't know was that there was nothing that the leader of the Dark Hand Demon Hunting Group didn't dare to do.
Now, he began to try dangerous alchemy again.
……………………
In the innermost part of the valley, Ye Ze and Bernhard stood face to face.
"Is it that simple?" Ye Ze asked.
"It's that simple!" replied Bernhard.
"Is it dangerous?" Yeze asked again.
"Very safe," Bernhard replied.
"Then why are you hiding so far away?" Ye Ze glared at Bernhard who was hiding far away.
"I'm afraid of explosion." Bernhard took a few steps back.
"Depend on!"
…………
Alchemy is a very dangerous art. Another reason why there are so few alchemists is that alchemy is extremely dangerous. It is not surprising that explosions occur during alchemy, so countless alchemists have died. But it is precisely because of this
This kind of danger, alchemy also has another ability, killing.
Bernhard has been busy in the valley, sculpting the extremely dangerous alchemy formation.
But Bernhard said that his energy was imprisoned, so the last step had to be completed by Yeze.
Alchemy is similar to the Demon-Sealing Array in that it uses Yuan Power to condense the formation. But the difference is that the Demon-Sealing Array combines the Demon-Sealing Mantra to form an array on its own, as long as the Yuan Power is maintained stable. The Alchemy Array is
The formation diagram is drawn entirely with Yuan force. It also requires the assistance of some special energy items, such as black stones, thunder stones, flame crystals, etc.
According to common sense, with Yeze's extremely manic energy fluctuations, it would be impossible to draw an alchemy array. It would be better if you can't draw it, but if you are unfortunate enough to draw it, it is almost equivalent to committing suicide directly.
Even Yeze knew this truth. But Bernhard just said that those were common people's theories. As long as you followed his, there would be no problem.
Bernhard first used the dust ground by the black stone to draw the alchemy array in the valley. Then he asked Yeze to penetrate the elemental energy into it according to the shape and trajectory he had sketched, and draw the gourd.
Although Yeze felt unreliable, relying on his immortality, he still decided to take a risk. Facing an opponent like the Zijin Demon Hunting Group, there was no chance of winning without special means.
Looking at the strange patterns in front of him, Yeze took a few deep breaths to calm down.
Yeze slowly placed his hand on a node that Bernhard had pointed out in advance. He concentrated and thought, and a restless energy spurted out from his palm.
Yuan power cannot be released externally, but the black stone has the effect of transmitting it.
I saw a jumping and flickering white light, slowly advancing along the track of the black stone powder ravine. The originally dim array diagram was lit up one by one like a light...
Bernhard seemed even more nervous than Ye Ze. He stared at the alchemy formation that was gradually taking shape with his eyes wide open, not daring to breathe.
Gradually, the flickering white light approached the last node.
Bernhard couldn't help but straighten up and held his breath...
"Zi..."
The alchemy formation was formed, and a brilliant light shone.
However, the alchemy array seemed to be very unstable, the brilliance kept jumping, as if a strange energy was about to burst through, and the entire alchemy array made a buzzing sound.
Seeing this scene, Ye Ze was a little nervous and wanted to stop and run away.
Bernhard suddenly jumped up and roared: "Continue to output energy, don't stop!! Maximum value!!"
Still output?
Yeze gritted his teeth!
Now that you believe this old madman, you might as well believe it to the end.
**,Fight!
Yeze groaned and increased the intensity of his Yuan Power output. The gushing Yuan Power was like a flood that was released from a gate, desperately penetrating into the alchemy formation.
The light of the alchemy array shone brighter and crackled. Other colors gradually appeared in the white light. Black and red light strips were faintly visible under the white light.
"Yes, yes, this is it..."
Bernhard's lips trembled, his beard also trembled, and he murmured: "My idea is indeed correct, it is indeed like this..."
Slowly, the energy fluctuations of the alchemy array stabilized and gradually became stable.
"Okay, let's withdraw after the energy is balanced..."
Following Bernhard's instructions, Yeze slowly withdrew his energy.
The alchemy array flashed twice more and then dimmed.
"Is this enough?" Yeze blinked and looked at the dull alchemy formation.
Previously, you could still see the pattern made of black stone powder, but now, unless you look carefully, you can't see any trace at all.
Yeze bent down and wanted to reach out and touch it.
Bernhard was shocked and shouted: "Don't touch it!!"
Ye Ze took his hand back as if he was electrocuted, and said angrily: "What are you yelling at? You scared me."
"Stand far away and throw a stone..." Bernhard rolled his eyes at Yeze and said, "You will understand the greatness of the alchemist."
"Okay, let me try." Ye Ze picked up a stone the size of an egg, walked more than a hundred meters away, and took a look.
"Just wait a moment and I'll run further away."
Under Ye Ze's gaze, Bernhard ran out for more than a thousand meters. Then he banged his knees and gasped, indicating that Ye Ze could start.
Seeing Bernhard running so far, Ye Ze also muttered a little, and retreated another two hundred meters. Then he turned around, held the stone, and began to aim.
After two gestures, Ye Ze flicked his wrist, creating a parabola, and the stone fell straight towards the alchemy formation. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (this site) to subscribe, reward, and your
