Chapter 289 Hunting Night
Lind turned around and found the old hunter looking at him blankly. He asked loudly, "Who are you? Where is the golden knight?"

The Holy Grail spoke again: the womb will protect the unborn god and hide his identity.

In other words, the person wearing the necklace has his identity hidden. Compared with the "womb where God is born", this accompanying ability is more in line with Lind's needs.

Lind casually threw the necklace into the Holy Grail, which caused the Holy Grail's strong dissatisfaction.

It has been entered by dirt and is no longer clean.

The necklace was also shaking and struggling.

"You..." The old hunter looked at Lind blankly.

"What image did I have in your eyes just now?" Lind asked.

"A completely strange man, his face always covered with a misty veil."

Lind put the necklace around his neck and looked at the hunter: "What about this time?"

"Sir, is that you?" His vision became clearer.

Putting away the necklace, they returned to the issue of Fox Cave Village.

He said, "Let's talk about the hunter's job first, and those bloodthirsty things. You mean the blood clan... vampires?"

After the experience just now, the old hunter's attitude became more humble. He was completely unable to understand every bit of power that Lind had displayed since his appearance.

He shook his head. "They can't be called vampires. They are completely different from the vampires in the stories. They are not afraid of the sun, garlic, or silver. They don't even need to drink blood to survive. They can live forever."

Lind didn't understand: "So why would such a powerful group of people grow grapes here?"

"Because it's delicious," Charles looked at Lind and said seriously, "After having almost infinite life, they will study things that make them happier and more interested. Besides, this is just a vineyard. Their base camp is not here. The one guarding this place is just a low-ranking vampire."

"I am happy" is indeed an irrefutable reason. Everything that everyone in the world does ultimately revolves around the subjective "I am happy". Without the threat of life and death, the vampires will relax the restrictions on themselves, and it is understandable that they become crazy.

Lawless chaos. In fact, vampires and undead are very similar. There are no restrictions, so there is chaos. Everything depends on themselves.

"They are divided into two types," Charles quickly pulled out the information in his mind, "Scarlet nobles, that's what they call themselves, they have the most noble status, they enjoy themselves in the castle, and they are very powerful; the other type is scarlet ladies, they have a low status, they do some dirty work, and there are more of them."

"Besides that, there are also blood servants who enslave humans in their own way."

"It sounds like they are just some manor owners," Lind asked, "Did the previous bloodthirsty plague create the vampires in the Fox Cave?"

There were absolutely no so-called vampires in the Kingdom of Rand, but witches did appear. After all, the incident of burning witches with a pillar of fire was a very big deal.

It is impossible for anything to appear and completely hide its tracks.

And these vampires don't seem to have an army.

It is not known whether the conditions for their birth are too harsh or they simply want to control the growth of the race.

The old hunter explained, "As you said, these monsters only appeared in the Black Swamp Kingdom. Some people were studying forbidden blood and even reselling the bodies of nobles. The Scarlet Blood Clan was created to study the secrets of noble blood from the very beginning."

Once again, I heard information about the noble blood.

Are there any creatures in the world more pitiful than nobles?

Speaking of the corpse trafficking in the Black Swamp Kingdom, it seems that the limb-removal queen, Melulan, is also one of the victims in her own underground farm.

It seems that the situation in the neighboring kingdom is even worse than that in Rand. In the Rand Kingdom, the nobles can at least die a worthy death, but in the neighboring kingdom, they will either be bled out or dismembered.

“They think they have succeeded.”

"It was indeed a success." Lind nodded. He did not have any of the vampire's shortcomings, but possessed all the advantages of a vampire, including immortality. If he developed normally, it would be no problem for him to unify the world.

The premise is that disasters and undead have not arrived.

Linde suddenly thought of a question, whether the "blood clan" who deeply hides themselves can become the BOSS of the second chapter after the nobles, they sound more perfect and powerful.

The old hunter continued his story: "When the bloodthirsty plague broke out in the Kingdom of Rand, a scarlet noble who was being hunted by hunters happened to come here. He disguised himself as a doctor and cured the people here by transfusing blood. It was at that time that he lurked, otherwise the vineyard would not have appeared."

"Even the vampires of the Black Swamp Kingdom dare not plant vineyards, but after arriving in a foreign land, this group of monsters became unscrupulous and successfully gained the trust of you superiors."

"The plague at that time caused a great impact and people were in panic." Lind nodded. Although he was not involved in it, he could imagine the old king's anxiety. If a doctor who could cure the plague appeared at this time, he would definitely be happy to accept it.

Moreover, blood therapy, bloodletting, blood transfusion and other methods were the "regular medical methods" of this era. Even the recorder Miss Doris once recorded a dysentery storm.

At that time, a doctor believed that bloodletting and taking mercury could cure dysentery because he also had the disease at the time, but recovered quickly.

A doctor named Enga promoted his bloodletting therapy and eventually succeeded in curing the disease.

It is difficult to prove whether the patients were actually cured, but more than thirty people did die from bloodletting.

Later, Doctor Enga was accused of massacre, the crime being that Jianen killed more than thirty innocent lives through bloodletting.

A trial against Enga seemed very childish and weird at the time, but it may be very reasonable in this world.

Nga was cut in half and asked to heal himself so that he would be found not guilty and his contribution would be acknowledged, otherwise it would be a death penalty.

As for the result... Lind had seen Enga's photo in the NPC summary of the forum. He appeared in Crescent Town, and the undead affectionately called him "Surgeon".

Finding the "Scarlet Lady" responsible for planting in the fox hole is the key to solving this problem.

at the same time.

The round table meeting of new and old nobles has begun.

Queen Rania sat at the table. Even though she was a guest, her aura made her feel like she was at home.

The person who spoke first was not her uncle, whom she hated and feared very much. After she greeted him just now, the other party kept silent.

But Raniya would always pay attention to him subconsciously, and her fear of him had long been engraved in her bones.

The woman known as the Red Nun spoke up.

"I hope we can work together and put aside the prejudices of the so-called new and old aristocrats."

Raniya did not look at Sister Red. She first looked at the woman full of divinity: "Have you given up serving God?"

"The God has fallen." Her voice was expressionless and without any fluctuation, like a stone statue.

"We were once the most loyal believers of God, and the Rand Kingdom has always been. Even if God is dead, this is not a reason for you to establish a new force and split the country." Raniya shook her head slightly.

"I have no interest in the regime," the other party's voice was still cold, but from her willingness to take the initiative to explain, it can be seen that she is not really uninterested in everything, she still has feelings, "I always abide by the oath of being a White Knight Guard and protect every life."

"Then pledge allegiance to me." Rania put her hands on the table. As the only ordinary person in the room, she took the initiative: "If you want to pledge allegiance and restore the rule of the Rand Kingdom, then Raven City and the Troll Castle will return to peace and normalcy."

Since we have no interest in the regime and only want to protect ordinary people, then it's simple. If we combine our strengths, we can definitely protect more people.

"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, Your Majesty," the old man holding a thick wooden staff spoke, "The cursed nobles will fall into madness. You and the Duke are still rational, but you are just exceptions."

"Where is my uncle?" Rania looked at Prince Black Catfish.

Even if she was sitting on the throne at the time, she might not have had the courage to look the other person in the eye, but at this moment she took the initiative to mention it.

Prince Black Catfish always kept smiling, like a kind uncle looking at his niece.

"We reached a cooperation," Prince Black Catfish said, "They didn't trust me. And I also gave them a sharp blade that could kill me at any time when I might cause danger."

"You should kill him with the so-called sharp blade as soon as possible, before you regret it." Raniya was not prepared to give face to Prince Black Catfish at all.

There must be something dirty between them.

Raniya also knew that the other party would definitely not be loyal to her, but she just couldn't stand this group of people who said they were doing it for everyone but still abused their power for personal gain.

The Red Sister spoke again: "What is happening in the Fox Cave now is not a bloodthirsty plague, but a curse from the vampires." She told the information related to the vampires in the Black Swamp Kingdom.

And he emphasized again: "They once tried to obtain the bodies and blood of the nobles, which is why we must contact you and His Excellency the Duke."

"What if we let them have blood?"

Sister Red: "No one wants to see that."

Raniya frowned. She knew that Linde had gone to the fox cave, but she didn't believe that the so-called vampires could hurt Linde.

There shouldn't be much in this country that can hurt Lind, and the biggest threat is standing right in front of him.

The ignorant old wizard, the White Knights of Everfrost, and Prince Black Catfish.

Raniya asked, “Why do you know this?”

"Because I am also a vampire." The Red Sister opened her mouth, fangs and sharp teeth protruded from her lips, and her whole face became weird.

……

……

Linde left the fox cave and brought the old hunter Charles with him. More and more undead gathered outside, and a war was about to break out.

Undead people may prefer to call it "going to the dungeon".

The old hunter who was carried by Lind had never experienced such a fast speed. A person can run faster than a horse. Sometimes Lind would even spread his wings and fly to overcome obstacles!

Several swaying disaster monsters appeared in front of them, with jagged teeth, cracked abdomens and a large chopping knife growing out.

They were like the executioners in the village, staggering closer, and when they were almost there, they leaped up and smashed towards the two men with their huge stomach-chopping knives.

Instinct told the old hunter that he could not escape at all, but the chain thrown by Lind directly tied up the disasters and threw them out.

There was nothing on the road that could stop Lind from moving forward.

"That's probably where it is."

Lind threw the old hunter to the ground, cleared a space, and then grabbed a branch and quickly drew a big circle on the ground.

Just as the old hunter was puzzled as to what he was going to do, Lind stood in the circle and suddenly his body burst into flames.

Pillars of fire shot up into the sky, connecting the ground to the sky.

Soon after, the old hunter heard a roar in the sky, and a huge monster with spread wings swooped down!

Flying dragon!

The ground was shaking from the dragon's heavy slamming into the ground, and the vibrations penetrated into the old hunter's body through his butt, strangling his heart.

A figure jumped down from the dragon's back.

The woman in golden armor walked lightly. The old hunter knew that she was not an ordinary person. She looked very much like the Queen Rania he had heard about recently.

So, the golden knight in front of him is the duke who owns the dragon?
Everything that seemed unreasonable before has become reasonable.

"Alex knows you're calling it."

"I was supposed to set off fireworks," Lind raised his hand and gently stroked Feilong's head, "but my body temperature was too high, and the fireworks couldn't hold up and all exploded. This is the only way to do it."

"How's it going?" he inquired.

Rania told everything she had seen and heard at the round table meeting, which was basically the same as what the old hunter Charles had said. The fox hole was not the problem, but the vampires hiding behind the scenes were.

"I really should have gone straight over there," Lind said.

Go straight over there and grab the Red Nun.

"You mean Prince Black Catfish is here too?"

Prince of Black Catfish is a derogatory term.

But Raniya considered that the person in front of her did not respect her, so it was normal for her to use derogatory terms for her uncle.

"Are you sure it's still him?"

“Not sure.” Raniya shook her head. She looked at Lind: “Just like I’m not sure, you are still you.”

The main cooperation between the new and old nobles was reflected in the temporary relaxation of the border areas between the two sides, allowing free trade between the two sides.

However, this was not a good thing for Lind. To the new nobles, this was opening their arms and expressing their goodwill to Lind, but to Lind... the undead didn't want to travel for ten days or half a month to come to my territory. If I arranged a caravan to go there now, no one would be willing to come.

But this is also good news for Lind. His current efforts mean that he has cleared himself for a short period of time.

All his efforts were to make himself look more official.

With the passage between the main cities, he is the "official NPC". Lind has always wanted to be an NPC because of the position of NPC in the hearts of all undead.

As long as the "official NPC" says who is just, who is just, and whoever is evil, whoever is evil!

"Both Raven City and we will arrange an army to go to the Fox Cave, with at least 20 great knights."

"Then let Cuigang's group go over." Lind never thought of letting his soldiers make a trip from the beginning to the end. Instead, he asked the market knights who had gradually become accustomed to being NPCs on missions to run over and attract enough undead with their more lively way.

The Market Knights also have their usefulness, each with their own personality, more like living people.

"Also... Ciel!"

"Yes!" The old hunter didn't know why he was so respectful to Lind. Maybe it was because of the dragon whose body was emitting high temperature.

"I think your Hunter Society should get some new blood."

Ciel was puzzled: "What should I do?"

"First, you need a wheelchair."

……

Almost all the undead who arrived at the open space in front of the fox cave saw three forces.

The first party was Revan's soldiers, who were checking their equipment, and among them were a few undead.

As soldiers of the "new nobility", they naturally do not get along with the old nobility, so they are prepared to rush in and fight seriously to let the remnants of the old era see how powerful they really are.

The second party was the Market Knights from the Troll Castle. They were completely different from the Riven soldiers. Instead of preparing equipment and weapons, they took out scrolls one after another.

Some are still inserting wooden boards.

The undead who had been in Star Dragon City reacted immediately. This was Linde’s old tradition.

Sure enough, it said [Fox Cave Dungeon, Now Open], and when it comes to grabbing the right to speak, Lind has always been trying to find opportunities to do so.

The last party is the old hunter Charles sitting in a wheelchair.

There is a table in front of him.

And tasks and invitations are also open.

[Invitation to join the Hunter's Association: The old hunter Charles is hunting the culprit who caused the bloodthirsty plague. He needs brave men who are not afraid of death to join. Cowards please stay away. Join the Hunter's Association to unlock hunter-exclusive shops in major cities such as 'Mountain Troll Castle', 'Rivend City', and 'Star Dragon City']
