Chapter 11: The Exorcist

Early the next morning, the unconscious Hughes was found by an early hunter and carried back.

When he woke up, the village knew that the father and son had encountered a monster in the mountains and forests last night.

When the strong men of the village rushed to the cave in full gear, they only found the corpse of the hunter who had been drained of blood, and the monster in the mouth of Xius was completely gone.

The news of the presence of bloodthirsty monsters in the forest spread throughout the village overnight, and the people were uneasy, and the news soon reached the ears of the magistrate of the jurisdiction.

In this tense period, a strange case, no matter how you look at it, you can't get rid of the evil done by heretical creatures, and the authorities decided to find a group of professional "exorcists" to solve this matter.

β€”β€”

"Sucked blood?"

"Bloodthirsty monsters?"

"Black figure?"

……

Repeatedly analyzing the verbal information reported by the villagers, a middle-aged strong man with a face full of vicissitudes sat in front of the sheriff, in his office, his eyes contemplative.

He is the representative of the "exorcist" invited by the sheriff, Henry Morris.

The sheriff glanced up at Henry, who didn't look very elegant in front of him, and handed him a contract: "It's done, I'll pay you the balance, if you don't have any opinions, sign it!" ”

The strong man rubbed his hands together, slid the contract in front of him, picked up the quill pen beside him, and put his name on the corner of the page.

After a symbolic handshake with the sheriff, he got up and walked out of the office.

Stepping onto the bustling streets, Henry tightened his coat, secured the money in his arms, and hurried through the alleys to join his companions who had been waiting outside the city gates.

There were three figures standing beside a carriage ready to depart, two men and one woman, all of them like strong men, dressed in tight clothes, which was the most convenient for movement.

"Boss, it's done?"

From afar, the female member with short brown hair curled the corners of her lips and raised her chin at Henry.

The corners of Henry's mouth raised, he bowed his head slightly in response, and hurriedly approached the carriage, and as soon as he reached the side, he stepped into the carriage and sat in the carriage: "Go outside the city!" ”

The other three, a slightly shorter brown-haired man and woman, got into the carriage with Henry, while the other tall, dark-haired man, drove the horses and drove them away from the city.

In the carriage, Henry shared the information from the sheriff with the two people opposite, and took out the money bag from his arms: "I initially suspect that the vampire is doing evil, tonight, prepare things, we will take the sheriff's official document and temporarily take over the village where the incident occurred." ”

"Good!"

The two companions replied with unchanged expressions, as if dealing with heretic creatures was a common thing for them.

Upon reaching a desolate and secluded place, they stopped, pulled out the large chest under the wagon, and opened the lid to reveal a variety of weapons against heretics.

Most of them are silver utensils and holy water that have been prayed for, and there is no lack of aconite powder to deal with werewolves.

After everything was fully equipped, the four-person "exorcism" team, which was fully armed, set off towards the route of the small village in full swing.

Without stopping, near evening, the four exorcists arrived in the village, and according to the sheriff's official letter, they successfully checked into the village.

As soon as possible, the exorcism team went to the house of Xius, her mother was taking care of her son, who couldn't afford a high fever, and her husband's funeral was still solved with the help of the villagers.

Since one of the parties, Theseus, was so frightened that he couldn't bear a high fever soon after he returned, and the exorcist team couldn't get any more information from him, so they decided to go into the forest that night and investigate.

With such an efficient team, the panic of the villagers was instantly reduced a lot, and they were looking forward to them bringing the monster to justice.

Stepping into the cold forest, the half-melted snow and the bare rocks make the road seem difficult to follow.

After taking a look at the general terrain, Henry looked at the three companions and ordered: "Lucia, Buffett, you two brothers and sisters be careful, Gasl, you and I are in a group, our two clans are scattered to investigate, if there is a situation, contact according to the old rules!" ”

The brown-haired man and woman, known as brother and sister, nodded intently, carried the oil lamp, and turned to walk on the other side, leaving Henry and the black-haired man Gasle, who walked the other way.

According to local villagers, the victim was killed in a cave under an inconspicuous dirt slope to the north, when the body was found, the cave had collapsed and buried, as if it was impossible for the vampires to use it as a base.

The exorcist group immediately decided to search for suspicious holes around the north side, from both sides, and then converge at the collapsed cave.

The long investigation time passed quietly, and until the two teams converged at the scene of the incident, the group of exorcists still failed to find a single clue.

Twisting a handful of crushed soil and rubbing it in the palm of his hand, Henry looked at the hole that seemed to be sealed, and sighed: "Perhaps, the vampire who made the trouble has left, and they just killed the hunter by accident." ”

Hearing this, Lucia reluctantly inserted the silver knife in her hand: "Are we just going home empty-handed?" ”

"Let's stay a few more days!"

Henry is also unwilling, this vow to accept people's money, there is no reason to return empty-handed, isn't this sweeping the reputation of their "exorcism" group!

Just as they were distressed, the sound of a dead branch breaking came clearly with the cold wind.

The four of them looked in the direction of the voice sensitively: "Who?" ”

Henry, a strong man, was the first to run away, not to mention his strong size, he moved more quickly and lightly than the other three.

I saw a black shadow flash in front of their sight, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared.

"At this speed, it must be a heretic!"

Lucia's face showed a determined excitement, but a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes as the prey fled.

"Could it be that these monsters want to spy on us?"

Gasl looked at the crowd and made a hypothesis, you know, they had just searched around the cave, could it be that this dark shadow had avoided their attention and followed all the way?

Clenching the weapon in his hand, Henry looked around in the dark, since the other party found them and deliberately avoided them, it was impossible to gain anything more tonight: "Let's go back first, and then think about it in the long run!" ”

On the other side, the black shadow, escaping from the tracking of the exorcist group, scurried into a low-lying and dry riverbed in the mountains, and between the dirt slopes next to the riverbed, there was a naturally formed hole, supported only by the intertwined roots of the tree.

Darkness.

A voice sounded: "Lord Saint King, there is a four-person exorcism group in this small village, and it seems that it is quite difficult to deal with. ”

"Second Holy Envoy, you are wrong!" From the depths of the crypt came Stark's low, hoarse voice, scornful and mocking.

When the second holy envoy heard this, he was so shocked that he hurriedly lowered his head, no longer spoken, and heard Stark continue to say slowly: "It's not easy to deal with, naturally it's not us to deal with, some are for the dead ghosts!" ”

The two holy envoys' cloudy white eyes rolled, and they immediately understood a little, and at this time, the great holy envoy who had gone to the other side of the village to investigate came back, and he walked into the crypt in the dust, brushed the side of the second holy envoy, and came directly to Stark's side.

"Lord Saint King, those fellows have less than a day's journey to pass through this village."

Stark, who had received the exact news, nodded with satisfaction, and immediately summoned six holy envoys to come to him: "Tonight, make some noise for me, we have a good show to watch!" ”

"Yes!"

The six envoys commanded their orders, and then left the crypt with swift movements......

β€”β€”

"Ah, it's been a long time since I've seen the sun, it's been a dark and bitter cloudy day all day, and my mood is going to be moldy!"

With a long roar in the sky, Han Qingluo drove the horse under him boredly and walked slowly on the damp dirt road.

Listening to her complaints, Sevi, who was unwilling to be lonely, picked a unique point and accosted her: "How is the mood moldy, and it can't be eaten, and it's not a real thing, how can you say that it is spoiled and moldy?" ”

Rolling his eyes, Han Qingluo was too lazy to deal with Sevi's boring topic, selectively deaf, and didn't talk, but the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be hidden.

On the other hand, Jin on the side seriously set up Sevi's words: "According to the nature of literature, Miss Luo's words are quite meaningful, it depends on how you look at it!" ”

Sevi raised his eyebrows and looked at everyone, his eyes were full of smiles, he was just talking casually, joking and amusing him, but he didn't expect Jin to be so upright.

Xu is return journey was too dull, and for a while, Jin made a start, and other blood clans also followed suit, pretending to chew the words.

On the road to the village, there was a lot of laughter.

Jue silently looked at this group of guys who had lived for hundreds of years, childlike innocence, laughing and playing, and the corners of his mouth were unconsciously hooked up with a shallow smile, slowly following behind, enjoying this rare freedom.

The fatigue along the way seems to have been diluted a lot because of this happiness.

Looking at Han Qingluo, who was also watching the play and couldn't think about it, the smile on the corner of Jue's mouth became deeper and deeper, but fortunately, there were no accidents along the way.

After going back and discussing with the secret party and other neutral clans, find the demon base camp and attack it in one fell swoop, perhaps, everything can be over.

Then he can take her without scruples, away from the world, and live a dull life without distractions.

After living for thousands of years, he seems to have been running for other things, never thinking about his own private feelings, and now that he meets the girl he loves, it seems that he should also let go of his rights and be selfish for his private feelings.

In reverie, a question suddenly lingered in his mind, Jue first interrupted his beautiful idea, and leaned over to Han Qingluo: "Luo, I have something to look for you!" ”

Retracting her gaze to watch the play, Han Qingluo moved her gaze to Jue, who was in a slightly better mood, tilted her head to stare at him coquettishly, and said softly: "What's the matter?" ”

Hearing that Jue was for the beginning, when she insisted on coming with her, she promised the conditions, and instantly said: "The last stronghold of the demon clan, I may know a little clue, but I am not 100% sure." ”

"It's okay, only you know best what is written in that book now, just follow the clues in your memory!"

Jue can only hope for Han Qingluo's memory, and while the demons have not taken away this soul ring, it is the best fighter to attack them in advance.

Nodding, Han Qingluo said the letters that were deep in his mind: "BEN." ”

β€œBENοΌŸβ€

Jue muttered and repeated, trying to search for related things in his mind.

"On the last page of that parchment, there is a map with a clearly marked point, 'BEN', I suspect that the place where the demons are trying to awaken the blood is there!"

Han Qingluo's words were very solemn, she had memorized this information for a few years, and she had never been vague, because this was important information that she had exchanged her life for at that time.

"Maps?"

There was a hint of enlightenment in his solemn expression, and Jue looked at Han Qingluo again: "Since it is a map, it is likely to be what you guessed." ”

Just as the two were discussing, Sevi and his party, who ran to the front early, shouted at them: "Don't miss me, come on!" Let's take a break in the village tonight! ”

Hearing the sound, Jue and Han Qingluo looked forward, and a small village suddenly broke into sight.
