Chapter 1580 - 46: Traveler

Chapter 1580: Chapter 46: Traveler

Hearing these words from Su Xiao, Carmen pondered for a moment.

"Under normal circumstances, a Witch Hunter has a three-year assessment period. Of course, consider this something you’ve never heard and don’t spread it around."

Carmen paused for a moment here and then continued after seeing Su Xiao showed no reaction: "Of course, there are exceptions to this kind of thing. To be clear, I don’t believe you come from the North Border. Everyone has their secrets. For an organization that relies on force, while it’s not necessary to fully investigate a member’s identity, we should at least know their purpose. Before you annihilated Westport, I wouldn’t have said these things to you. Witches infiltrating the Holy Healing Church isn’t a one-off occurrence, but to take the entire Westport and Morris’ lives as a price..."

Carmen shook his head. What he said had two meanings: first, he didn’t want to dig into Su Xiao’s origins in detail. The Witch Hunting department of the Holy Healing Church is a faction with considerable freedom. Second, it concerns the aspect of the Red Hunter.

"According to the normal procedure, you can’t become a Red Hunter yet, but there are exceptions to everything. The contributions you’ve made to the Holy Healing Church cannot be erased by anyone."

At this point, Carmen stood up.

"Cuchulainn Bai Ye, can we trust you?"

Carmen squinted his cloudy old eyes. For someone with Su Xiao’s monster-level combat effectiveness, he was prepared to take some risks and responsibility. He was Su Xiao’s guide in the Holy Healing Church, and if Su Xiao rebelled, Carmen would have to give his life to hunt down Su Xiao, which was the duty of a Senator.

"Whether you trust me or not, that’s up to you to decide."

"..."

Carmen smiled without saying a word and after a while.

"Alright, you are now a Red Hunter, a Red Hunter of the Holy Healing Church. If you wish to leave the Holy Healing Church, remember, first kill this old man of mine."

The Witch Hunting organization of the Holy Healing Church is quite peculiar. Becoming a Red Hunter involves no flowery words and no solemn ceremony, but rather, the unpleasant truths are stated upfront.

Just as Carmen finished speaking, Shirley handed over a ring embedded with a red gemstone, clearly prepared in advance.

"As a Red Hunter, aside from the Senator Council Hall and personal residences of other Witch Hunters, you are free to enter any other place, including the library, of course."

With this meaningful sentence left behind, Carmen leaned on his cane and walked out of the room, with Shirley following closely behind, leaving Su Xiao as the only one in the room.

[Tip: The Hunter has been promoted to Red Hunter, current reputation: 13790/5800 (Red level), no possibility of further promotion (Promotion to Senator requires substantial qualifications, based on the Hunter’s remaining stay time, the probability of promotion to Senator is less than 1.2%).]

[The Camp Shop has been activated, and the Hunter can use Holy Healing Church Reputation to exchange for items.]

[Special Reputation Task: Witch Hunter (106/10) has changed, due to exceeding the kill count, will you activate the subsequent task?]

...

When Su Xiao annihilated Westport, the ’Special Reputation Task: Witch Hunter’ was already completed, but he did not immediately receive a reward, instead wanting to try if there was any change after being promoted to Red Hunter.

This was not pure speculation by Su Xiao. Last time when he joined the Holy Healing Church and became a White Hunter, this special reputation task had indeed changed.

Su Xiao chose to activate the subsequent task, and the prompt from Reincarnation Paradise appeared.

[Subsequent task activated, Special Reputation Task: Witch Hunter (106/80), will you complete this task to receive the title reward, this task has no further expansion possibility.]

[You have completed the Special Reputation Task: Witch Hunter and received the title Traveler.]

...

After reviewing the attributes of the [Traveler] title, Su Xiao’s eyes lit up. Although he wasn’t sure if this thing could salvage his Charm Attributes, the effect when wearing it in a non-combat state in a Derivative World is quite good.

Su Xiao’s [A Good Fighter] title is combat-oriented, while [Traveler] leans towards functional aspects, each having its pros and cons.

Since the two titles have different natures, Su Xiao chose the free switch mode. The so-called free switch mode is that once he engages in a fight, [A Good Fighter] title will immediately replace [Traveler], and when the battle ends, it will switch back to [Traveler].

Switching to the [Traveler] title. Su Xiao immediately felt a cool sensation coming from his left arm, the subtle pain in his wound became less noticeable. This was an unexpected gain, so Su Xiao did not have high expectations for the [Traveler] title, but it turned out to be surprisingly practical.

Leaving the lounge, Su Xiao headed for the fourth floor, where the Camp Shop was located.

Upon reaching the fourth floor, Su Xiao found it quite deserted, with no one in sight along the corridor. According to the position provided by Reincarnation Paradise, he proceeded to the inner side of the fourth floor.

Just as he rounded a corner, a short-haired woman wearing leather armor approached, and Su Xiao’s steps paused. This woman was a witch, a Black Witch!

Seeing Su Xiao stop, the short-haired woman sighed. She was about to walk towards Su Xiao but immediately halted because she saw the ring on Su Xiao’s hand. This made her think that if she did not explain clearly, she might be killed on the spot.

No one would dare impersonate a Blood Hunter at the Holy Healing Church Headquarters; she’d heard tales of how terrifying Blood Hunters can be.

"Clearly, I am a witch, a Black Witch, but Black Witches can be good or evil. The fact that I can walk here openly indicates I am a rational Black Witch, and also a Black Hunter."

The short-haired witch raised her hand, a ring embedded with a black gem on her index finger.

"So..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Su Xiao had already walked past her.

"Blood Hunters are... surprisingly understanding."

The two passed by each other. Of course, Su Xiao would maintain a certain level of vigilance for witches. The only possibility that a witch could freely come and go at the Holy Healing Church Headquarters is if she first became a Witch Hunter and later a witch, anything is possible, Witch Hunters and witches are enemies in terms of stance, not necessarily in survival.

After some twists and turns, Su Xiao reached the inner side of the fourth floor and stood in front of a shabby wooden door. After confirming several times that he hadn’t taken a wrong turn, he pushed open the wooden door.

[The Hunter has entered the Camp Shop. Since this world is undeveloped, no other creature can enter the area where the Camp Shop is located except for the Hunter.]

As soon as Su Xiao stepped into the Camp Shop, the prompt from Reincarnation Paradise appeared, and the house where the Camp Shop was located was pitch black, with no one inside.

An automatic vending machine-like device was placed inside the room. Upon seeing this thing, Su Xiao immediately understood why the native inhabitants of the Dark Raven World couldn’t enter the area where the Camp Shop was located.

The Holy Healing Church Headquarters originally didn’t have a facility like a Camp Shop; this was a region opened up by Reincarnation Paradise, and a machine was set up here for exchanging items.

Standing in front of the vending machine, a list of exchange items appeared before Su Xiao. He was momentarily stunned because this was the richest Camp Shop he had ever seen.
