Sorcerer Hunting!

Recalling that phrase, Rennes’ expression turned grave.

These memories relayed an accurate thought to him: this world was absolutely not any part of Earth.

Because in this place, there was the existence of supernatural power!

The Luminous Church representing righteousness, and wicked Sorcerers!

The memories remaining on this boy clearly told him no matter the Priests from the Church, or the evil Sorcerers, they both had the power to easily destroy a hundred-man army!

. . .

“Brother, here, eat.” Little Heidi carried a murky bowl of soup up to Rennes.

Heidi was an illegitimate daughter Old Quine brought from the outside. She had never received any favour from Rennes.

Her position in the family was even lower than the servants who only knew how to flirt.

Rennes accepted the bowl.

The taste of the unknown soup was a bit insipid, and from it there was even a faint stench.

Forcibly enduring disgust, he drank half of it. Seeing Heidi’s shaking throat, Rennes stopped. “What are you eating?”

From his dirty robe’s pocket he took out a small dark bun. “I’m eating bread.”

Seeing the interspersed close teeth marks, Rennes knew she had licked and bit this bun no few number of times.

Very possibly, she was reluctant to eat it.

After all, her superior only gave her ten pieces of these black buns every month. It wasn’t enough for even a single meal to those with larger appet.i.tes.

“You can drink the rest of the soup.” Rennes put the bowl on the table.

A hint of liveliness burst from Heidi’s eyes. However, she restrained herself and shook her head. “I can’t. This meat soup is for Brother.”

“I’m ordering you to drink it.” Rennes’ tone slowly became fierce.

She was a little lady, so how could she bear such temptation?

Heidi finished the half-bowl foul-smelling soup, like a gale sweeping away a cloud. Her smooth little tongue licked the bowl until the very end. It simply made the bowl even cleaner than before.

There was an unspeakable feeling in Rennes’ heart.

“Everyone’s gone. Why haven’t you left yet?” Rennes asked.

Heidi pitifully lowered her head. “Not everyone left yet. Uncle Casi who manages the stables, Big Brother Andrew who guards, and Aunt Kate who cooks haven’t left yet.

“Moreover, you’re my big brother.”

Rennes was speechless from disappointment and irritation.

He had Heidi call the others.

After a short moment, the other three had entered that stone room.

Casi was a middle-aged man who only had a single leg. His large face due to rosacea was flushed as he carefully examining his surroundings.

Andrew’s body was robust, and he stood upright. However, as he looked at Rennes, there was unavoidably some disdain.

Kate was a fat middle-aged woman. She was rubbing her hands on her ap.r.o.n, and said without end, “Lord Baron, there are still bones cooking in the pot! I cannot leave . . .”

There was a feeling of unspeakable sorrow.

No matter what, he was still a baron who looked over a population of over two thousand, yet at such a crucial moment, there were only these few who were of use.

He helplessly sighed. He knew before dealing with that Sorcerer, he could not go around and recruit others.

And, since he accepted the Sorcerer Hunting Order, it meant he could only deal with the Sorcerer. Otherwise, he would receive the wrath of the Church.

In the Hillman Kingdom, the position of the Luminous Church was even n.o.bler than royalty.

This was also the reason he was persuaded to accept the Sorcerer Hunting Order—if he were to succeed, he would receive the position of knight from the church.

However, Rennes had idiotically wrongly estimated the fear normal people borne towards Sorcerers. At least, when they heard him recklessly accept the Sorcerer Hunting Order, his subordinates all turned their back on him and fled.

This matter was now burdened on Rennes, who was from Earth. Although he still felt enormous pressure, it was not a helpless situation.

After all, he had the Golden Fingers.

Recollecting slightly, he discovered many things here surprisingly overlapped with Earth.

“Niter, sulfur, charcoal.” Rennes looked at the several people in front of him, and said to Casi, “Uncle Casi, help me buy these things in town. Buy as much as possible.

“Aunt Kate, please, next time you cook soup, don’t put b.l.o.o.d.y meat in. Clean it a bit, okay?” Rennes looked at Kate who was still talking endlessly.

“Heidi, there’s a bas.e.m.e.nt in the back. Help me tidy it up.

“That’s right. Take this gold coin and exchange it for clean clothes. You are my sister, not a beggar!”

As he looked at their bewilderment, he waved his hand. “Okay, you may leave now. Andrew, stay behind.”
