Soul Echo

Zhong Ye They tracked all the way to a town named 'Troy'.

The size of this town is larger than that of Auxerre, not only in the size of the city, but also in the number of surrounding villages.

After coming to Troyes, the first thing Zhong Ye did was to go to the local church to see if there was any new news.

As a result, they did receive a message from Bourges.

The information revealed in the message surprised them quite a bit, and everyone didn't expect that those altars were actually used to transform human souls into that black mist.

In other words, in addition to self-reproduction, the 'painted skin' monsters in the West Land may also have been transformed.

If those altars were used for transformation, what was the text on those altars?

Thinking of this, Zhong Ye couldn't help frowning.

Words represent civilization, that is to say, the group of 'painted skin' monsters may once have had a civilization, they were not naturally generated, but transformed through those altars.

And the most primordial Spiritual God was watching this world from before the concept of 'human beings' appeared, but at that time they should not have self-consciousness, but only the incarnation of the natural environment.

The true birth of the Spiritual God can only be traced back to more than 10,000 years ago. In the past 10,000 years, if there are any strange civilizations on this land, they should also There will be some understanding... When you have time, just ask them directly.

But then again, if the group of 'painted skins' in the West Land were transformed through altars and ceremony, what about Easterland's 'painted skins'? Are they also transformed by ceremony?

Since they can transform others through ceremony, why do they reproduce naturally?

If it is to gain power, why in the Blois count, they do not directly parasitize the count himself, but choose to parasitize the second son of the count?

There are so many new doubts that quickly fill my mind.

Zhong Ye shook his head, looked up and looked towards the Hall Master who was sitting on the side, "Your Excellency Charlie, about that group of vampires, do you have any findings here?"

"There is none in the town. After all, it's winter, and no one will go out to hang out." The Priest of the Church of Moon God in Troyes shook the head and sighed, "As for the surrounding villages, we don't know."

There are many villages around Troyes, even if they are, it is impossible to search all the villages in one day.

Many times, if someone goes missing in the village, they will try to solve it by themselves first, but if they can't solve it, they will contact the church.

Because things that will 'disappear' often represent interests, whether it is an undead, a monster, or a thief, it can bring them benefits.

The remnants of the dead can be sold to mages or churches. Monsters have value in themselves, and thieves may have treasures hidden in them - the villagers of this era are not necessarily simple and honest, but more likely to be savage Brutal, many times they don't mind a cameo role as a bandit as long as it's profitable.

They dare not resist the nobles, because the nobles hold the army in their hands, and they themselves have the inertia of thinking. Once the nobles are alone, they will break through the inertia of thinking, and evil will turn into courage, even the nobles. will be killed.

And this is also one of the main causes of death for nobles in this era.

Therefore, it is impossible to find out in a short period of time whether anyone in the villages around Troyes is missing and whether the missing person has encountered vampire.

Sure enough, it is time to mobilize the power of the masses.

Zhong Ye turned his eyes to Lillian, then turned away nonchalantly, and asked Mayer, "Mr. Endridge, is there any other demonhunter contacting you?"

"Of course."

Mayer woke up from his thoughts and was stunned for a few seconds after hearing Zhong Ye's question before answering: "I was contacted by a demonhunter who was in Troyes country activities, when I received the notification, I was about to fight a wraith. I originally planned to solve the wraith and then gather with us, but after receiving the message from me, I decided to wait for us here in Troyes, He should know if there was any vampire predation in the Troyes countryside."

After a pause, he added: "By the way, he was accompanied by a witch - the witch is to help us transform Those in the body, because of their relatively... savage methods, were denounced by other mages as 'primordial people who play witchcraft' and 'only idiots from the primordial tribe would believe you'."

"May Yell, if you really want to say that, I'm not too happy!"

At this moment, a voice sounded outside the door, and without the permission of the priest, the door was pushed open.

Zhong Ye and the others turned their heads and saw a man and a woman walking into the room, followed by a helpless pastor behind them.

One of the women played with the ends of her light-colored long hair, and said dissatisfiedly: "It stands to reason that our technology is more advanced, we can not only install xenogeneic organs on you, but also To keep you from trying to reject -- until now, which wizard south of Nogi's kingdom can do that?"

"I'm just paraphrasing." Mayer shrugged, turning to Zhong. Ye they introduced, "These two are my companions, the demonhunter Wade Eric, and the witch Ingrid Carrie."

The demonhunter opposite was silently nodded, and the witch said with a smile. "Hello".

"This is the famous Lord Zhong Ye, the lady's name is Lily de Lieber, and this is Lilian, the student of Lord Zhong Ye."

Zhong Ye and Lillian cup one fist in the other hand in return, Lily nodded lightly.

After the introduction of both parties, Mayer turned her head and looked towards the priest, and asked with a smile, "Your Excellency, you shouldn't mind us borrowing this room, right?"

priest Wei Wei Shaking his head, "Of course I don't mind. On the contrary, I also want to find out what happened in the Troyes countryside recently."

Obtaining the instructions of the priest, the priest left the room and closed the door.

The new demonhunter sat down with the witch, the witch folded her long legs, leaned her back against the chair, and moaned comfortably.

"...Let me explain, if Wade comes, I can't finish it for a long time." The witch sighed with relief, curling her fingers into the ends of her hair, "First of all, I want to explain that, There may have been a vampire around Troyes, but Wade and I only found out about it when we were going to the city, so we didn't confirm it.

"The news itself is speculation, because according to The farmer who brought this up said that several people from the surrounding villages seemed to be missing, all of them adult males. I heard that they were looking for food, but they never returned. Two days have passed, and there may be no bones left. . "

Even if the witch's tone was frivolous when she told the story, she couldn't dispel the weight of the content.

"Isn't it the same village?" "Zhong Ye asked.

"No, people from several villages met when they went to the city to sell things, and after talking to each other, they found out that it wasn't just them that had something wrong. "

If it weren't for vampire, what monster would wander around a few villages, hunting those who went out?

Mayer sighed: "And then? "

The witch spread her hands, "No, that's all. "

Zhong Ye pondered for a moment, "I'm going to investigate." "

Speaking, he stood up.

At his speed, it would take half a day to walk between several villages at most. The survey will be completed by the end of the night.

“Me too. Mayer slapped his thigh, stood up, and suggested, "Like before, split up and discuss in advance what to investigate, and then return to the town to sort out the information after the investigation, which can be faster. "

"Then let's go too." "Lilian and the others followed.

Afterwards, Wade Eric also stood up, leaving the witch sitting in the chair.

Mayer glanced at her. , "You're not physically fit, forget it. "

"I didn't say I was going!" The witch stared.

Moon God Church priest opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhong Ye: "My Excellency, these people are enough, please search the city again, Especially in hotels, underground casinos and other places, in order to suck blood, vampire is not hesitant to sell his body, maybe in places you haven't noticed, vampire has already patronized.

"For example, the lord's castle."
