Arrangement

When the number of casual believers exceeded twenty, the system had unlocked the permission to use a temporary anchor point, allowing Su Ran to freely choose to appear either at the Witch’s Society or by Isa’s side.

Now that the “Rebuild Faith” mission was complete, Su Ran wanted to know if any new functions had been opened for her to use this time.

After waiting in her room for a while, Su Ran, lying on the bed, stared at the clean white ceiling, but the system sound she was waiting for never came.

‘Was it really as the mission description said, with no reward at all?’

Su Ran felt that her act of lying quietly on the bed seemed a bit silly.

“Knock, knock, knock.”

A knock came from outside the door, and Su Ran propped herself up and called out, “Come in, the door’s unlocked.”

“Alright, Lady Su Ran.”

Seeing the person who had entered, Su Ran’s spirits lifted.

She hadn’t expected Lecy to come to her so soon after returning, without even resting much.

“Lady Su Ran, are you satisfied with the room? I specially arranged for it to be set up when I left, but I forgot to tell you. Fortunately, Canlisa didn’t forget my arrangements.”

Lecy, who had just returned, still had a trace of weariness from the long journey in her eyes, but when facing Su Ran, she still maintained a respectful demeanor.

Coming here seemed to be just a casual greeting, without getting straight to the point of her visit.

In addition, Su Ran could feel a wisp of Holy Stone energy clinging to Lecy, constantly destroying the magic essence circuit in her body.

The reason Lecy could still suppress the Holy Stone now was entirely due to her mobilizing her own magic essence to resist the erosion of the Holy Stone’s energy.

“Sit down and rest first, then we can talk slowly.”

Su Ran patted the bed beside her.

A wisp of energy from her fingertips quietly entered Lecy’s body.

This method was similar to when she had expelled the magic essence influence for Philly.

The cost for Su Ran to treat this Holy Stone energy on Lecy was not high.

A mild case only required six yuan, and a more severe one would be no more than ten.

It was about the price of a cup of milk tea for Qiu Feifei and the others.

However, it was just this small wisp of energy that gave Lecy a completely different feeling.

Touching the energy in Su Ran’s hand, Lecy felt as if she were in a hot spring.

All the parts of her body that had been eroded by the Holy Stone were relaxed to a certain extent, making her want to let out a soft moan.

To expel the Holy Stone energy, Lecy only needed a few quiet days, and she could expel all of it herself.

But to do it as easily and comfortably as Lady Su Ran was doing now, just by raising a hand, Lecy asked herself, and she knew she couldn’t do it.

Thinking of how, in recent days, both the Witch’s Society and the witches she had taken with her were all discussing Lady Su Ran’s unfathomable sequence, Lecy couldn’t help but feel curious about her superhuman sequence in the depths of her heart.

However, given her current situation, Lecy had more important matters she wanted to discuss with Lady Su Ran.

Hearing Su Ran’s words, Lecy obediently sat on the edge of her bed and slowly said, “This time, we went to stop the advance of the Church’s army, and we found that in their army, there was not only Yuffie, a Sequence Five, but also a Sequence Six knight-captain in the team.”

Looking at the mattress sinking beside her and the long hair falling within her field of vision, Su Ran realized that the only place to sit in her room was the edge of the bed.

At this point, it was no longer appropriate for her to ask Lecy to get up.

She could only remain in her current position and listen to Lecy’s words.

Hearing that there was a Sequence Six knight-captain in the Church’s army, Su Ran’s brows furrowed slightly.

“Then how did you all get back? If the knight-captain you mentioned had acted, the Church would absolutely not have let you return unscathed.”

When Lecy had led the team back, there hadn’t been much commotion in the Witch’s Society, which meant that at the very least, there hadn’t been many casualties or captures.

This did not match the situation of the Church’s army having a Sequence Six.

Speaking of her experience fighting the knight-captain, Lecy still had some lingering fear.

“I learned from Philly’s lesson of ambushing in the forest last time. I took a small number of witches of Sequence Four and above and set up another ambush point in front of the ambush point, in order to maximize the damage to the Church’s army and also to detect any movement in advance.”

Lecy’s arrangement this time was clearly to prevent what had happened to Philly, who had to cover the rear, from happening again.

Witches of Sequence Four and above had many ways to escape if they just wanted to.

Last time, if Philly hadn’t been thinking of covering the rear for the other witches, she would have had no problem just escaping from Yuffie.

“After sensing the presence of the knight-captain, I decided to cancel the original ambush plan and had Philly and the others withdraw first. The remaining plants and other obstacles were enough to give the Church’s army a hard time.”

Due to Lecy’s proper command, the witches who had stayed behind did not have the opportunity to face the Church’s army directly, so there were almost no casualties.

“The Church’s knight-captain acted very quickly. Before Maimai could finish her report, he appeared alone within our spiritual perception range. So I went to fight him for a bit, and the Holy Stone energy on my body was left at that time.”

Just facing a single Sequence Six, Lecy still had the ability to protect herself.

She planned to use this to probe the Church’s intentions for coming to Tukulu this time.

“And the result?” Su Ran asked, seeing that Lecy hadn’t finished.

“From the pressure the knight-captain gave me during the fight, the amount of magic essence he possesses seems to be even more than Ken’s.”

Faced with this piece of information from Lecy, Su Ran felt a bit of a headache.

She had originally thought that Yuffie’s Sequence Five was the highest in the Church, but now a knight-captain had suddenly appeared.

If he were to cooperate with Ken, then the pressure she would face from the enemy would multiply.

The main problem was that there were still many Sequence Fives in Tukulu, and these people would divert Lecy’s attention.

Otherwise, the two of them could barely fight to a draw against two Sequence Sixes.

“How many more days until they arrive in Tukulu?”

The army sent by the Church was like a sharp sword hanging over their heads.

In the remaining time, Su Ran could not afford to delay for a moment.

“Although the ambush plan failed, we still successfully blocked their path. If the army wants to arrive now, it will take at least three more days.”

Three days was not enough for Su Ran.

But with the Church’s army already approaching Tukulu, the fact that Lecy could buy another three days was already the best she could do.

However, Su Ran still needed to buy a little more time for the Witch’s Society.

“Go find Maimai and Tilly. I have something to ask of them.”
