The Journey of the Demon Hunter
Chapter 297
Chapter 540 Rumors of Small Fishing Village
Adeline is a blood saint who heals a special group of people in the church.
To be precise, they are used as blood vessels in the church. The blood of the ancient **** unearthed from Byerwork will always be used up in one day, whether it is for research, supply to the townspeople of Yanan, or for the hunters who hunt monsters. So, some blood is injected into these The body of the blood saints made their blood... delicious and delicious.
They are human beings. As long as they live normally, blood will be continuously provided to the healing church. What these blood saints have to do is to follow the arrangements of the church to ensure that they can provide the church with a fresh and stable source of blood.
"Let other blood enter your body will not cause...some problems?" Zelin thought for a while before asking, "After all, it is completely different from human blood. If it were me, I would not be easy. Let some unknown things enter the body.” Just as some people thought that infusing the blood of a monster into the body would make oneself as strong as a monster, but it turns out that it will only kill oneself.
Besides, Zelin knew this blood and also knew what was in this blood.
"Not everyone can become a blood saint. I don’t have any specialties or characteristics. I cannot study the unknown fields like a scholar. I cannot hunt monsters like hunters. Protect Yanan. I don’t even have the skills in the Hunter Workshop. Superb craftsmen."
The wind was a little tight, making the wooden planks beside the street clapper. The street lamps swayed back and forth, spreading the weird and weird shadows on the bluestone floor. I don't know whose owner the carriage was parked on the side of the road. The owner of the carriage walked very impatiently. The door of the carriage was not closed, and it was creaking and swaying in the wind.
"I want to do something for the church, I get more than many people, but I give very little, only some blood... I don't know what other people think, I don't like this, I I don’t have the power and knowledge, but I think I can still try to do something, at least I’m not a..."
Adeline was silent for a while, but still did not say the remaining word.
Zelin understood her feelings.
The status of the blood saints in the healing church is not low, and their blood serves as the basis for the current Yanan blood therapy. Their treatment in all aspects is no less than those of hunters and scholars, but their preferential treatment comes from the blood that they can accommodate, rather than their own strength and knowledge.
When a group of people struggles to fight monsters, or spends their nights and sleeps studying those ancient secrets, the things and status they get from the healing church may be the same as a group of blood saints who just need to donate blood, especially the latter. You don't need to do it, just donate some blood from time to time, which is enough for them to get a good position.
Edlin did not say it clearly, but Zelin could also imagine that many people in the Healing Church would not really treat these blood saints as true saints, and might show some dissatisfaction with them in private. It's normal.
Perhaps this is why, Adeline hopes to contribute something to the healing church. Although the demon hunter does not think it is the right thing for her to seek out people from outsiders to work for the church in this way, she considers the urgently needed manpower of the healing church and what she desperately wants. The feeling of doing something, Zelin also understood her performance.
"But now I have a chance. A new study is going on in the research hall, and the blood saint is needed to participate." Adeline giggled. Unintelligible knowledge, I don’t know what it is, but I will study hard."
It was dark, but one or two faltering figures could still be seen on the street. A thin man walked past the demon hunter, bent over and crouched, he was even taller than Zelin. What attracted the demon hunter's attention at first was the fishy smell from the person, and a certain nauseating greasy feeling on his body. He must be a fisherman, and often deals with sea water.
While listening to Adeline introduce Yanan to herself, Zelin glanced at the moment he passed by, and saw the person's appearance through the gap between the high collar of his clothes and the wide round hat. A pair of bulging, gray and dim eyes never seem to blink, a flat nose, a contraction of the forehead and chin, and a pair of ears that don't seem to be fully developed. An extremely strange appearance. On the whole, his appearance is so strange that it makes it difficult to connect them with normal humans.
Unless this is in Losric, the world where the flame is about to go out.
"Why would anyone walk into the street when it is about to usher in a heavy rain?"
"Do you mean that person?" Adele looked back. "He must be a resident of the fishing village near Yanan. They are all strange people. Outsiders are not welcome, and even Yanan people will not like it. Go to that small fishing village." The Blood Saint shrugged. "But their fishing skills are very famous. No matter what the climate and time, they can always catch many, many fish."
"Does your healing church have no priests in that fishing village?"
"No, that fishing village has their own beliefs. They never talk about it to outsiders. Their village is not open to outsiders, and to enter the fishing village you need to walk through a swamp. People don’t want to go there. Only they perform some kind of ritual. At that time, I could see some wooden boats with candles floating out of the sea near the fishing village."
This makes the demon hunter think of the strange beliefs and rituals that have appeared among the half-murlocs of Tamoria in recent years. Originally, those places believed in the goddess in the lake, but in recent years they have believed in another **** in the water. Some of these rituals involve candles and wooden boats.
"Are they half murlocs?"
Zelin recalled the appearance of that person, judging by human standards, they looked strange. But if it is judged by the half-murlocs near Vizima, they look too human.
"Half murloc? Is it a fable at the other end?" Adeline covered her mouth and smiled. "I like the stories that you outsiders bring. It is very interesting. Do you know the mountain village? He is also from a foreign country, from the east The hunter here, he and his companions chased a monster to Yanan."
"They successfully killed the monster?"
"Of course, they must have succeeded." Adrian said of course. "Come on, we are going to the research hall soon. Go faster, bless us to be there before it rains. I can't wait to see Ma. Ms. Leah."
Zelin paused in his footsteps.
"Wait, who?"

ps: Help Chapter Tweet: Title of the book--because I am a magician
Introduction:-Within the range of the Magic Cannon, there is truth everywhere!
In short, this is a story of a poor ghost who had to work and earn money under the influence of various younger sisters in order to support his sister.
[——For the subject matter, refer to One Strike Magician, and then ask suicide! 】
The 541st chapter is full of ghosts
"Ms. Maria, I heard someone say that she is going to be in charge of the research hall as a hunter." Adeline said. "There have been terrible rumors in the research hall recently. Some people often have nightmares and others are terrified. , I heard the news that someone was surprised and killed a researcher during the experiment. Some people privately said that it was a plague, so hunters are needed to protect their safety. Oh, don’t worry, it will definitely not be a plague, otherwise the research hall will not May continue to experiment."
"It's useless for you to comfort me now." Zelin squinted, and the more and more violent wind blew the dust up. "You learned very quickly, but you shouldn't think about it after half talking."
"Sorry, you won't..."
"Hurry up, we're already here, at least I have to wait until the rain is over in the research hall you mentioned."
Although Zelin didn't care about the plagues and blood, he would not come into contact with blood. He can only hope that Maria, the huntress who almost fought with him before, is a little more sensible, otherwise he really has to consider the village outside Yanan to stay for a while.
Lightning flashed across the sky. This was a storm converging on the sea. Zelin could already imagine how turbulent waves were being struck by the sea not far away. Clouds gradually blocked the bright moonlight, the city became dark, and the wind was violent. The two or three-story buildings on both sides of the street seemed to be no longer straight. They seemed to become distorted, like a strange dark forest, as if in the shadows. The monster with its teeth and claws, and the few attics that revealed the lights were the monster's eyes. The moon in the sky that was looming in the dark clouds seemed to have turned into those round fisheyes.
"Where is this place?"
Zelin looked at the gully on the side of the street and asked Adeline. At this time, the sound of water faintly appeared in the gully, and the lightning flashing across the sky from time to time illuminates the water flow in the gully. There is a ladder nearby to let people go down, and several wooden barrels are stacked not far away.
"This is a drainage channel. Whenever it rains, the stagnant water will gather in the lower-lying Yanan, and in addition to the stagnant water in the city, this drainage channel was built later to connect the side of Yanan. The sea. But sometimes the sea is high tide, and the water will come up.” Adeline casually explained, “Isn’t there such an urban design in your hometown?”
"Yes, but most of them are not so huge." Novigrad's drainage channel should be comparable to the design scale of Jiu Yanan, but that channel has long been occupied by water ghosts, and there are even rumors that there are vampire monsters. , So that no matter what the construction of the later city, the drainage canal will not be built to the extent that monsters in the water can crawl in along the pipe.
The demon hunter narrowed his eyes, slowed down, and stared at the channel on the side of the drain. The channel and the drainage channel are separated by iron fences. The stagnant water flows into the drainage channel along the **** and then enters the channel below. The fallen leaves and some garbage are blocked by the fence. But for some reason, Zelin always felt that there seemed to be a sound coming from behind the pipe blocked by the black iron fence, which was connected to the sea outside.
"Wait, what is that?"
A flash of lightning flashed, and the air began to become humid, and Zelin seemed to be able to smell the smell of sea water and seaweed. With the help of the white light passing by the lightning, the demon hunter's eyes instantly caught the shadow that flashed between the rugged rocks at the bottom of the canal. A hunched figure is standing in the canal, standing in the knee-length water. "Do the Yanan people have the habit of bathing in rain and stagnant water?"
"No, it's not safe. There are rumors that the plague will be spread through water, but don't worry, it's false." Edlin shook her head. "But is there anything there?"
"There..."
Another flash of lightning flashed through, and there was only a strange-shaped rock in the canal below, but in the pale electric light, each rock was like a weird man shouting at the sky, but there was no trace of it.
"Maybe I read it wrong, these stones look strange."
"Oh, yes, these stones are very strange. I heard that these strange stones existed before Yanan was established. Scholars said that they were caused by water erosion. I heard from them that the area of Yanan used to be It was submerged by sea water. For some reason, the sea water quickly faded, but these rocks that were originally on the beach remained."
"You know so much."
"I have been studying and hope it will come in handy one day."
While Adeline told Zelin the story of Yanan, she lifted the skirt slightly with both hands, speeding up her pace.
The gloomy sky made people have to speed up the pace, and the rain was about to come down.
Fortunately, the scale of Yanan Town does not require the use of horse-drawn carriages to travel. They didn't take much time to arrive at this research hall located on the edge of Yanan Town. This is a tall tower with about four floors, like an arch cut in the middle. There is a huge clock at the top of the tower. The sky is too gloomy. The demon hunters can only see the approximate appearance of the clock, but cannot see clearly. Is it still working.
When they walked up the steps at the bottom of the hall, the downpour fell to the ground with the rumbling sound. In an instant, the entire Yanan was shrouded in a cloud of gray water vapor. Zelin stood at the top of the steps, avoiding the scattered splashes of water. The ground seemed to be brushed neatly by a brush, and it was instantly soaked by rain and turned into a deep black appearance.
