Nanako and the others all widened their eyes.
Such a thrilling and impactful scene was something they had truly never witnessed before.
And upon seeing the appearance of those white pigs, the first thing that popped into their minds was…
A curse!
Exactly like the residents of Lakeside Town who had been turned into pigs.
"Let's go take a look!"
Nanako and the others immediately approached the small camp.
Scattered on the ground were pieces of armor and clothing, and the style of the armor clearly matched that worn by the knights of the Order Church.
"Could they be from the Order Church?" Nanako exclaimed in shock as she picked up a piece of clothing from the ground.
"It seems this place is indeed extremely dangerous. They’ve all been cursed…"
But…
Nanako stared in astonishment at the white pigs engaged in vigorous activity.
Even the cursed residents of Lakeside Town had never caused such chaos, right?!
Why does this seem more like the effect of the magic potion she had brewed earlier?!
But shouldn’t they turn back into humans after drinking the potion?
Lynn’s expression turned peculiar.
His gaze then fell on a small vial on the table inside the nearby tent.
He walked over and gently picked up a drop of the liquid.
Lynn said with a strange tone, "They did drink your potion, Master. From the looks of it, the Order Church stole our potion yesterday, and… they must have sent some here without testing it… and the result…"
Lynn looked at the overworked white pigs with pity.
Nanako’s eyes widened instantly.
This… this…
Is the potion really that potent?
"But that can’t be right!" Nanako exclaimed, "If they really drank our potion, shouldn’t they have returned to normal?"
"This?" Lynn stroked his chin, "I’m not too sure either."
[Of course, you shouldn’t be asking me this →_→]
[If I’m not mistaken, these guys drank the potion and turned back into humans yesterday afternoon, but last night, they were turned back into pigs by the Secret Source fluctuations emitted by the King of Secret Source.]
[After all, when that guy loses control, the closer you are to him, the more you’re affected by the Secret Source.]
Nanako’s hair stood on end.
This… this is so tragic!
Lynn looked around, and his gaze soon landed on a golden emblem.
It was identical to the one left behind by Saint Anna.
The only difference was the name engraved on it, indicating its owner.
"Augustus?"
Lynn held it in his hand, playing with it curiously.
"It seems there’s a bishop-level figure in this Order Church vanguard, and judging by his status, he’s not below Saint Anna…"
Elina and the others gulped.
They stared at the group of white pigs engaged in some vigorous activity, trying to spot the bishop among them.
But they found nothing.
For a moment, everyone’s expressions turned odd.
"So, what should we do? Should we help them?" Elina asked innocently.
Nanako coughed, pulling down the brim of her hat, "Well… Nanako doesn’t have any extra potions left. They’ve all been distributed to the people, so Nanako is powerless to help."
[No, there are still two bottles in the backpack.]
Nanako’s face turned red, and she said seriously, "Besides, it’s clear they’ve already drunk the stolen potion. Drinking it again won’t have any effect."
[No, it will.]
Nanako gritted her teeth, veins popping on her temples.
Damn it!
This brat.
Stop exposing and contradicting your beloved master in your thoughts!
Nanako turned her head forcefully, crossing her arms and puffing out her cheeks, "In short, Nanako can’t help them. Any objections?"
Elina and the others immediately shook their heads like rattles, exclaiming, "No objections!"
"Oink—oink—" The white pigs let out desperate squeals.
Lynn’s eyes sparkled with amusement.
His gaze then fell on a few large chests in the corner of the small tent.
Lynn was stunned for a moment.
He walked over and creaked open one of the chests.
"Master, come take a look. I’ve found something!"
Lynn said with a mysterious smile.
Nanako and the others were puzzled but walked over and peered into the chest.
Instantly, everyone’s eyes widened, and they couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
"This… this is…"
Inside the chests were piles of golden crystals emitting a faint glow.
The sacred energy within them was incredibly dense, clearly indicating that these were high-grade sacred crystals.
These were all high-level materials highly valuable in the field of magic!
Lynn picked up one crystal with a calm smile, "If I’m not mistaken, these must be essential materials for some kind of magic formation. It seems the Order Church is taking this situation very seriously!"
[→_→ Eighth to ninth-grade sacred crystals, along with plenty of exorcism materials and anti-magic obsidian.]
[Considering these materials, that bishop named Augustus must have investigated the situation here and discovered that this is the sealed land of the King of Secret Source.]
[If they’re just trying to repair the seal, these materials combined with the right formation might actually succeed.]
[Saint Anna and her team must have come for this purpose too, hehehe, but now it’s all ours for the taking!]
Listening to Lynn’s inner thoughts, Nanako’s heart skipped a beat.
Although her disciple didn’t explicitly say it in his thoughts, based on the keywords she heard, she had a rough understanding of the true nature of this curse.
The volcanic eruption had caused the King of Secret Source, sealed here, to break part of the seal, and it was likely that this seal was connected to the Order Church.
After the curse broke out, the Order Church immediately sent people to take control of the area and dispatched two bishops to investigate the state of the seal.
And according to what she heard from Lynn’s thoughts, her disciple must have just learned about the true situation here last night, which is why he stormed the Order Church and released the King of Secret Source from the seal.
She subconsciously glanced at the elf not far away.
Though she wasn’t sure if this was a good thing…
From the current situation, the King of Secret Source didn’t seem to be the ancient evil existence she had imagined.
But that wasn’t the main point.
The real question was…
"What should we do with these crystals and materials?" Nanako coughed and asked.
Instantly, the surroundings fell into silence.
"Logically speaking…" Elina said sheepishly, scratching her head,
"These crystals should be returned to the Order Church… Mom said it’s wrong to take things that don’t belong to us…"
Nanako pondered, "That’s true. We’re upright people. We shouldn’t take things that don’t belong to us, even if they’re from bad people."
Lynn: "One crystal is worth 2000 gold coins, and one piece of obsidian is worth 3500 gold coins."
Everyone: "!!!!"
