The New Civilization of Witches

Chapter 70: Spying (Part 1)

"Groundhogs"

Kohl was a little anxious as he looked out the window. In this hell-like place, snow fell without end.

She thought that the sky looked exactly like her grandmother's sheets that had been unwashed for years, both dirty and gray.

Even though he could not see the sun, he still had other ways to judge the clock. 'The way' is militia training;

as long as the weather allows, the militia will run every morning (at 8 am) around the town square. The group of idiots had already started it a month before the Moon Demon, but they still did so until now.

Don't these people know that it is most important to store as much strength as possible during the winter

so when the time comes when they really have to run, they don't need to pray to God to lend them stronger legs?

However, thanks to this bunch of idiots, he was now able to determine the right time to leave.

That's right, Kohl wants to escape this possessed city! Although he was ordered by the 2nd Prince to stay in the Border Town to observe everything the 4th Prince did

and then sent the gathered intelligence back to Valencia, but now, he had reached a point where he did not want to stay any longer.

The thought was, I was worried that in less than two weeks I, along with the residents of this city would all become victims of the Devil.

This is not him being paranoid! Since the beginning of winter, one after another strange things have happened. Perhaps others do not realize it – which for him, is not surprising.

These townspeople had no experience whatsoever; they were all village hicks!

As long as they had enough food, they did not care even if the sky fell on them. But I am different, I

"Groundhogs" Kohl!

Since my expertise in stealing information and searching for news was the best, His Excellency Timothy himself hired me for this job.

One night, as he climbed the city walls, he came across a strange weapon capable of knocking down demonic beasts, but of course, this was not the most shocking discovery.

The 4th Prince is openly cooperating with a witch! A loving God, could there be anything more unclean than this?

There is no other explanation, the Devil is controlling the 4th Prince!

Even if the Prince only wanted to taste the witch's meat, he would definitely only do so if he hid in his palace.

This was not the first time for Kohl to hear that a noble became addicted to the tastes of the witches of – after all, there were many nobles with strange habits, there were many nobles with strange habits,

but it turns into a completely different matter when done in public. But this was not delusional; he had seen it with his own eyes! Principle-based

"those who are paid must do the work",

every day, when the snow is not too high, Kohl walks towards the nearby city walls. There, he could often see the figure of the 4th Prince, doing his job.

At first, he asked himself the question, what gave the incompetent and spoiled Prince the courage to stay in the Border City during the Demon Months, which was why,

not peeing in his own pants out of fear, and running back to Longsong Fortress? But now he finally understood; the Prince had already been replaced by the Devil!

He had been in his hiding place when the huge demonic beast broke through the wall, which was then killed by the Thunder Demon.

The roar of the next demonic beast was held back by the flames summoned by the witch. And it was this witch who then threw herself into the arms of the Prince!

He had also heard constant rumors from his neighbors. They were talking about a witch who supposedly had the ability to heal wounds.

The witch is said to have healed a wounded boy; it is said that she had also healed the old woman's broken leg from across the street.

But to Kohl, this was just a blasphemous rumor! How can one receive treatment from a witch?

What is the difference between them and all the witches who accept the corruption of the Devil?

However, the final blow to Kohl was two days ago, when he saw a witch flying two rounds around the Prince's castle and then descending into his backyard.

What does the Church father always say?

A witch will only gain her power after she falls into the temptation of the Devil.

And now he had already seen a mage with the power to summon fire and another mage with the ability to fly around the castle.

Undoubtedly, the Devil had turned the castle into his own lair, and now he was gradually starting to turn the townspeople into his minions.

I must leave this city as soon as possible! After all, I hold the alchemy formula for the gray powder used to build the city wall in my hands.

As long as I give this to the 2nd Prince, not only will I not be punished, but I might even receive a reward. From day to day,

Kohl increasingly regretted that he had not left when the other aristocracy had left Border Town towards Longsong Fortress.

But now, if he wanted to leave this place, a path above ground was not a viable possibility.

Throughout the winter, the snow will continue to fall, making it impossible to walk or drive to Longsong Stronghold.

The only way he could do that was to book a merchant ship ticket from Willow Town.

According to Kohl's observations, every first day of the month, a ship from Willow Town would deliver food to Border Town.

After two to three hours of loading and unloading, the ship will sail again and leave the port. He only had this small time frame to join.

Otherwise, he could only wait until next month. Today is finally the beginning of the first day of the month.

“One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four” Back then, Kohl heard the familiar slogan. He could see a group of men in brown leather uniforms running excitedly.

If Kohl had not seen through the plot of the Devil, this would have been an incredible sight to behold. Finally, it was time to leave, he thought.

After putting on a fur coat and tightening his belt, Kohl moved away from his cabin.

At this time a neighbor sitting outside his cabin saw Kohl and greeted him,

“Good morning. Where do you walk so early? ”

Kohl had to admit that, although Border Town was now controlled by the Devil, thanks to this, the lives of these souls became much better compared to their previous lives.

They even dare to dry fish outside the house – after all, if people are hungry enough, even if the fish is as hard as a rock, they will still try to swallow it raw.

However, Kohl did not respond to the man's question. Instead, he looked towards the militia and when he saw them running around the corner; he headed straight for the pier.

Residents here consider him as the younger brother of Iron Paddle, who came from the Fallen Dragon Mountains to visit his family – of course, all of this makes no sense.

He had previously captured the real Iron Paddle, asked for his name and address, then killed him.

He then takes Paddle's clothes and disguises himself as his brother. This was just one identity that was casually created, so Kohl did not care whether they believed it or not.

In the past few days, the falling snow had been cleared from the streets until there was almost no snow under his shoes.

He kept a constant speed so he could save as much stamina as – for the footprints he left behind, he was not worried.

In a day the snow will cover all his footprints. Perhaps even by the time he reached Valencia, they still did not know of his whereabouts.

As he approached the marina, Kohl saw the long-awaited merchant ship. Under the watchful eye of the guards, bags of grain were being brought out of the storage room.

Kohl checked the contents of his pocket again, inside were two golden nobles and sixteen silver nobles who were all the treasures he had.

Seeing that there were six guards, Kohl thought that it would not be enough even though he had two golden nobles. So, the only way out is to bribe the porter.

As soon as the items being taken down can provide protection from being seen, he will immediately go to the porter, and ask if he wants to have a good future life or if he wants to be eliminated.

As long as he could ride, Kohl believed, that most likely, the temptation of the golden nobles would be enough and the captain would take him away.

As Kohl prepared to take action, he heard shouts from behind him.

His heart immediately became gloomy, as he turned around, he found that some militias rushed towards him, coming from all directions and giving him no way to escape.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, Kohl immediately raised his hand into the air and knelt down.

One of his mottoes was to not show any futile resistance, as long as he leaked all of his employer's information, he would be safe, or perhaps they would even…

trying to hire him at a higher price as a double agent. As long as he got the money, he would do anything; this was the principle of "Groundhog."

But there was one thing he did not understand. How did they find him?
