"Chop suey!"

The lieutenant colonel snatched the notepad from the observer's hand and looked at it carefully.

He immediately frowned and ordered:

"Wake up all members of the 'Morphine' team! Without the captain, they will not have any effect if they continue to watch, and will only increase the casualties... Then record the specific details of this incident, and I will personally hand it over to Deputy Minister Heisman for review!"

"Yes, sir!"

The observer responded quickly.

Ninth Purification Squad suffered heavy losses but gained nothing. This incident will inevitably arouse the anger of many important figures including Purification Department deputy minister, minister and even Propaganda Department chief.

The young observer was complaining in his heart, and he just hoped that this incident would not be blamed on him.

He strictly followed the "Observer Code" when conducting off-site observations.

The culprit of this matter is the member of the secret society named "Snowy Owl"!

Record Society apartment, utility room.

In a dim environment.

The two ladies who had taken off their masks were sitting upright on the sofa, staring intently at the movie screen on the curtain.

When I saw the man in a trench coat wearing a white owl mask, he first took the initiative to attack Purification Squad's foothold, and then single-handedly killed the opponent's leader.

The expressions of the two ladies were indescribably surprised.

As promised, we are just going to harass and intercept...

"Mr. Snowy Owl, he..."

Miss Sparrow turned his head, glanced at the blond young man sitting on his left, and opened his mouth slightly.

Immediately, she turned around and looked at Miss Seagull.

"He's so strong!"

Both of them thought so.

But soon, they all tacitly looked away.

Because at that moment, both of them actually saw an unusual color in each other's eyes.

That is a color that only they themselves understand.

"But, where did Mr. Snowy Owl's ax come from?"

Miss Sparrow asked softly, as if deliberately changing the subject.

"It's not like you can hide an ax in a windbreaker..."

"Well..." The astute Miss Seagull suddenly thought of something. "A few days ago, Mr. Stork seemed to be injured. I asked him, but he just said that he went out with Mr. Snowy Owl and encountered a little trouble."

"But I suspect that it is precisely because of this incident that Mr. Snowy Owl has magical means... Mr. Stork's cane has also been changed, and it must be related to it."

"You are so observant, Miss Seagull."

Miss Sparrow chuckled.

The short-haired girl just smiled slightly and sighed secretly.

His eyes became lonely.

Gilan moved it back and forth several times.

At the corner in front of the church, more than a dozen corpses were piled on the ground, including Purification Squad and Wolf-Faced Hunters.

Fortunately, he was in good health and only slightly out of breath.

Purification Squad members had too many things on them, and Gilan couldn't take them with them, so they simply abandoned their pistols and finger-tiger knives, and only plundered their wrist shields and potions.

Excluding the wrist shields that I am equipping, there are four in total, which can be given to the Assembly members, one for each person.

As for medicines, five tubes of hemostatic agent and one tube of stimulant.

"I'll fulfill the deal."

Gilan stood in front of the man in black robe and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the other party let out a strange laugh under his hood.

"Oh, my delicious friend, what kind of treasure do you want to exchange from 'Windmill Cat'?"

Gilan glanced at the corpse beside him, but he didn't have the confidence to exchange for the so-called "panacea". So to be on the safe side, he planned to get the three main ingredients of "Green Gunpowder" first.

"I want to exchange for 'tin-sulfur', 'Spirit Mystic Dust' and 'furnace green'."

He said to Windmill Cat.

The first transaction is safe. Even if the other party is not satisfied, Gilan still has room for counter-offering and will not be swallowed up by the other party.

"Ah, my delicious friend, you are so greedy."

Windmill Cat grinned.

The two emerald-like vertical pupils, which were the size of gold coins, stared straight at him with unclear meaning.

Gilan's heart sank.

But the cat-headed merchant changed the subject again, pointed at the captain's headless body, smashed it and said:

"But there is a human corpse that is slightly edible, and it is quite fresh, so I reluctantly agree to it..."

After saying that, Windmill Cat shook his black robe, and a glass bottle as thick as three fingers flew out and fell directly into Gilan's hands.

"Happy transaction, welcome to visit again, my delicious guest." The cat-headed man said with a strange smile.

Gilan glanced at the three tubes of mysterious material.

"Tin sulfur" and "furnace green" are small pieces the size of a fingernail, with a rocky texture but a metallic luster. The former is silvery white and the latter is dark green.

"Spirit Mystic Dust" is a gray-black powder that looks ordinary.

"Iridescence" also provides skewed colored characters as a text description in a timely manner, but the general introduction is the same as on parchment.

Only the introduction of "Spirit Mystic Dust" made Gilan startled:

"Spirit Mystic Dust. The remains of Spirit Mystic who set foot on 'Path of the Flaming Sword' will be left behind after their death. Their corpses will precipitate the imprint of their own Mind Kingdom and turn into a handful of sand-like substance. Taking it directly can enhance Gnosis, and can also be used as materials for mysterious activities such as forging, medicine, or rituals."

' Will this mysterious material be precipitated after Spirit Mystic's death?'

Gilan thought.

'In other words, after I die, will I also leave behind "Spirit Mystic Dust"...'

He put his mind down.

Immediately, he put the three glass bottles in his arms and strode away without looking back.

Shortly after Gilan left.

Windmill Cat clucked his tongue and walked slowly to the pile of corpses. He opened his big crooked mouth like the moon, blinked, and swallowed Beromo's headless corpse.

The densely packed fangs wriggled, and the mouth made a crunching sound.

After a while, it let out a dissatisfied and regretful sigh.

"It's a pity that I can't taste the taste of 'Healing Knights' for the time being, especially that Agni. It must taste very good..."

Windmill Cat stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth.

He raised his hand.

Scarlet blood-like magma continuously emerged from his palm and fell to the ground, covering the body and melting it.

Finally, the black magma Reflux came into its hands, billowing with thick smoke.

Wails and screams could be heard from the thick smoke, rising straight into the sky and covering the entire "Leia" city without leaving a trace, making the gloomy sky even darker.

"Make the plague more ferocious! Oh my, it's so interesting!"

Windmill Cat laughs strangely.

It looked around and nodded with satisfaction.

"'Healing Knights' is coming soon, so I should go to the next city. Let the Lord's will spread to every corner of Rongdeng, ah ah ah ah ah..."

Along with a strange smile, magma emerged under Windmill Cat's feet, and it gradually sank into it and disappeared without a trace.

The magma was like a cloak, as it drilled into the ground, leaving no trace behind.

Gilan was walking on a lonely street when he suddenly stopped and raised his head.

He felt that part of the gaze that was watching him disappeared, and the faint vigilance that Gnosis had after being touched also fell silent.

'Huh?' Gilan couldn't help but guess. 'Did Purification Squad evacuate the film early because of excessive losses...'

He followed his gaze and saw an even gloomier sky.

I understand in my heart.

'Following Apocalyptic Dream's guidance, when the sky turns dark, it means "Healing Knights" is coming soon... Just in time, without those troublesome guys, I can try my own idea.'

Gilan Speed up the pace.

He did not go looking for Mr. Stork, but rushed directly to the entrance of the city.

Not long after, when he arrived near the city gate.

A large number of soldiers gathered here at some point. They were shouting, holding straight swords or spears, and climbed up the stairs on the inside of the city wall.

Many soldiers were standing on top of the wall, drawing bows and arrows downwards.

Along with the rumbling vibrations, there were shouts of killing outside the city.

It was also at this time.

Gilan only heard the terrified screams of the soldiers, followed by a loud bang!

Boom!!!

A hundred meters ahead, the six-meter-high, ten-meter-wide solid wrought-iron city gate suddenly exploded from the outside inward!

The ground trembled!

Countless palm-sized iron fragments were shot in all directions like cannonballs, making horrifying screams.

The group of Leia soldiers near the city gate were either penetrated by iron pieces, or exploded into a ball of blood mist on the spot, with half of their bodies flying upside down and tumbling.

After a burst of loud crackling sounds.

In the mist of smoke.

Gilan saw it clearly. A man about 1.9 meters tall, wearing silver-white carved armor, a helmet with wings covering his head, and holding a cross sword with a flower basket guard, was walking in slowly.

The cloak as white as snow behind him flew up and made a hunting sound.

Not even a drop of blood or even a trace of dust stained his body.

"Healing Knights, deputy leader, head of the four knights, Silver Crown Knight, Agni·Baldwin!"

Gilan said softly.

He looked at the mighty knight's eyes, which were shining with an indescribable luster.
