Chapter 343
However, these were not the things Cao Xing needed to worry about.
What he was more worried about was the threat from the Light Church.
“Get up, Muxue, let’s go see those hunters.”
Liu Muxue nodded her head slightly.
The two of them quickly washed and left the Lord’s Hut.
Outside the Lord’s Hut, Cao Xing instructed Cao Yi, Dazhuang, and the others to continue as they did yesterday, extracting resources and sorting ores.
As for the Polar Person Du An, he had him continue upgrading various constructions.
After arranging everything, Cao Xing and the others headed straight to one of the basements.
Cao Xing had asked Dazhuang and the others to dig several basements under the territory, originally meant to store food and wine.
Now, it seemed to have turned into his dungeon.
…
In the dim basement, Cao Xing saw four figures.
Two were Wild Boar Warriors, and the other two were hunter scouts captured last night.
At this moment, the Wild Boar Warriors glared with bloodshot eyes.
Seeing Cao Xing come over, they respectfully said, “Good morning, Lord, good morning, Lord’s Wife.”
Cao Xing nodded and then looked at the scene in the basement.
On the ground lay two barely alive hunter scouts.
There was also a large amount of blood beside them.
It was apparent they had suffered a lot last night, with knife wounds all over their bodies.
The scene even made Liu Muxue, standing nearby, frown slightly.
But she didn’t think much of it because she knew that if these two hunter scouts didn’t speak, the threat would be their territory’s safety.
Cao Xing asked, “How is it? Are these two still unwilling to talk?”
Rab replied, “Yes, Lord, each one of them is very stubborn and has been severely brainwashed.”
Cao Xing said nothing but walked directly in front of one of the hunter scouts, removing the mask from his face to reveal the visage of a middle-aged man.
“Tell me, who sent you to invade my territory?”
“If you answer honestly, I might spare your lives.”
However, this hunter scout looked at Cao Xing with bloodshot eyes and exclaimed crazily, “You heretics, don’t think you can make me say anything!”
“Just wait, the Light God’s will is about to descend, and all of you will be judged!”
Rab said beside him, “Lord, these people are all like this, with their minds completely filled with their Light God, unwilling to say anything.”
Cao Xing nodded, and after another attempt, he found it indeed impossible to pry open the man’s mouth.
He was momentarily at a loss.
He was pondering how to get these fanatic cultists to speak.
And just then, Cao Xing had a sudden flash of insight!
A shadowy figure appeared in his mind.
He remembered that the new member, Isabell, had a skill called [Confession Skill].
It could make those on the brink of mental collapse repent and control their minds.
He wondered if the [Confession Skill] could open the hunters’ mouths.
Cao Xing decided to give it a try, so he looked at Liu Muxue.
“Muxue, you don’t need to stay here; go get Isabell for me.”
Hearing this, Liu Muxue nodded and quickly left the basement.
In no time, Isabell, dressed in a white gauze dress and radiating holy light, gracefully walked down.
Seeing the scene in the basement, Isabell also furrowed her brow slightly.
“Lord… we shouldn’t use such cruel methods on prisoners…”
But Cao Xing shook his head and said, “Isabell, what if I told you these people aren’t decent? They’re cultists.”
“An organization of the same nature as the Dark Sect from your time?”
Since Cao Xing had read her character introduction, he roughly knew Isabell’s life’s experiences.
Hearing the words [Dark Sect], this woman, as sacred as a goddess, immediately changed her expression.
Her pupils gradually turned blood-red, and a terrifying killing aura emanated from her!
Moreover, even the holy light power on her body gradually faded; Cao Xing even saw a burst of dark aura on her…
Isabell’s aura was rapidly skyrocketing, nearly approaching the level of Duke Baladin.
The two wild boar warriors on the scene were also shocked by Isabell’s sudden surge of aura!
“Huh? What’s happening?” Cao Xing was amazed.
At the same time, he quickly glanced at Isabell’s panel.
[Dark Witch: Isabell Magio]
[Level: ???]
[Attribute: ???]
[Skill: ???]
[Talent: ???]
…
“Wow… The Holy Light Priest turned into a Dark Witch?” Cao Xing was astonished.
And just then, Isabell quickly returned to her original state.
The dark aura on her body dissipated, and the holy light’s power appeared again.
Then, she looked at Cao Xing with a face full of apology, “Lord, please forgive my loss of composure, Isabell sincerely apologizes to you!”
Cao Xing waved it off, not taking it to heart.
From that scene just now, he seemed to have discovered a secret about this new member.
But Cao Xing didn’t say much more; the most important thing now was to get the hunter scouts to speak.
The secret of Isabell’s body could be slowly explored later.
At this moment, Isabell looked at the two hunter scouts on the ground and said, “Lord, you did the right thing.”
“For such fanatic cultists, there is no need to have any mercy for them; they’re a group of sinful lunatics!”
Cao Xing nodded, “You’re right, Isabell.”
“And that is why I called you here.”
“They seem to have bad intentions for us, but I can’t get them to talk.”
“I know you have a confession skill, so I want you to give it a try.”
At this moment, Isabell also understood Cao Xing’s intention.
She solemnly said, “I understand, Lord.”
“However, the success rate of the Confession Skill isn’t high, but these two cultists seem to be on the verge of collapse, so it’s worth a shot.”
Hearing this, Cao Xing was immediately delighted, “Great, let’s begin!”
Upon hearing this, Isabell didn’t hesitate at all.
She raised her magic wand and began chanting, “God says, if your heart holds darkness, it shall be revealed by the light…”
“O sinful person, you ought to recall from where you have fallen and repent, do the deeds you did at first…”
As Isabell chanted, a sacred light appeared on her magic wand.
The two hunter scouts lying on the ground gritted their teeth and said, “Hmph! Don’t think you can extract any information from us!”
“The High Priest will surely come to save us!”
However, Isabell ignored them.
A holy light fell into the mind of one of the hunter scouts.
A struggling look flashed in his eyes as if fighting against something.
Before long, the blood-red color in the hunter scout’s eyes faded, gradually becoming dazed.
He shook his head, his gaze turning blank.
In the next moment, this hunter scout slowly knelt before Isabell, placing his head on the ground, and devoutly said,
“I am guilty…”
“The Light God is void; I’ve been committing murder incessantly for this void faith…”
“I am heavily sinful…”
This scene stunned everyone present.
Even the Wild Boar Warriors, standing by, looked at Isabell with eyes full of fear.
Oh my! Turning some fanatic cultists to change their faith, this [Confession Skill] is terrifying!
