XXXVIII. The Witch's Hammer

The mask showed me how to find IBA, and it sounded very mysterious. He asked me to find the code plate in the town of "Point of Look" and use the code to enter the IBA's underground market.

I asked, "Cipher plates?" There must be a code on it? ”

Mask: "That's for sure. ”

I asked, "Do you know the rules of the code?" License plate numbers like SKY-398? ”

Mask: "I don't know, this special code is useless now, and you'll have to figure it out yourself." ”

"Then you're not the same as you say?"

Mask sighed, "I don't recommend going to the underground black market, the price they are asking for is likely to be your life." ”

"As long as you know the place, it's easy to do."

The mask was silent for a while, and said, "I don't recommend you to steal, stealing IBA's things is very troublesome, more troublesome than annoying the Anno Empire, it is easy to dodge with open guns, and it is difficult to defend against hidden arrows." ”

My head was buzzing again, aching, and I cried out, "Can't you buy it with money normally?" ”

"The owners of the black market only want what they want, not what you can afford," the mask said. ”

He told me the exact directions, latitude and longitude, and given the length of the trip, I said goodbye to Lamia.

Lamia shook her head and said, "I firmly disagree!" That IBA doesn't sound like a good place. The masks are right, we don't have to deal with them until we have to. ”

I wanted to tell the truth about the state of the food stockpile, but I hesitated, and Helsin, Yaochi, Kara, and Martin were at the table.

Carla said, "Father, I want to solve your problems, and if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

I sighed and said, "There are only three tons of meat in the granary, and it is not very tasty, and the new refugees do not bring much food, which can support less than half a month." ”

"Then there are at least three months to figure out, and the list of food factories that we have not yet searched has been completed," Lamia said. ”

I took her hand and said, "You know how little hope there is for that list, after all, it was a hundred years ago, and it's likely that we end up with nothing." ”

"Then declare a quota, everyone will be rationed food, I read it from a book," Carla said. ”

I looked at her and smiled bitterly: "I told them well at the beginning, I can't turn my face and deny it in just a few days." ”

Kara raised her little head and said aloud, "What if you don't admit it?" Father, they all worship you like a god. ”

"Worship can't be eaten, my little Kara."

Kara touched her two small fists and said, "Father, you are invincible in the world, if anyone disagrees, you can use force to subdue them, and we can impose martial law." ”

What kind of books does this kid usually read?

Yao Chi smiled: "Cassandra, if you didn't make a mistake, and your father suddenly knocked you on the head, locked you up, and didn't let you eat, would you be angry?" ”

Carla said, "Yes, but there's nothing I can do." ”

Yao Chi said: "But you will remember this incident for a lifetime, and when you are strong and your father is weak, you will remember this incident, and you will resentful of your father and no longer treat him well." The injustice that people receive is perpetuated, child. ”

"I see," Carla said. ”

Helsing suddenly said: "I went with fishbones, I had contact with people in IBA. ”

I shouted, "What? Lamia was overjoyed and asked, "Really?" ”

"That was a long time ago, and hopefully the address of the black market in this area hasn't changed," Helsing said. ”

Lamia said: "I am much more relieved to have a master with me. ”

I asked, "Are you not at ease when I'm alone?" ”

Lamia said: "Maybe no one is your opponent in a frontal battle, but I'm afraid that you will be hit by a sword bullet in the back, my dear, you must be cautious, I don't want to see you scarred again." ”

.....

As soon as the morning dawned, I drove Juno out of town, Juno has a load of 15 tons, Biyune is nimble, and importantly, I can drive.

Helsing looked at the sunrise and said, "Yaochi likes those two children very much. ”

This is how Helsin spoke, he obviously enjoyed this family atmosphere himself, but he pushed this weakness to Yaochi.

I laughed and said, "I didn't expect to be so happy in this sad era. ”

Helsing looked at the rising sun, and sprinkled the wilderness with a blood-like light, sprinkled the fields of poisonous wheat, and sprinkled the plants and mountains.

He said, "My elder is called Longley Helsing. ”

Inexplicably, the sight melted the hard shell of Helsin's heart.

I cautiously asked, "Is that the traitor?" ”

"He's the top hunter of the Vatican Holy See, like he's nicknamed 'Thor' or something," Helsing said. Our family has been the shield and sword of the Vatican for generations, and Longley Helsing is one of them, and at the time of the incident, he seemed to be being canonized as the head of the Templar Order, which is equivalent to the power of the Nine Hermits. ”

"What did he do?"

"He killed his marquisial father during the canonization ceremony, and he killed the then Pope Caesar, and then he was seen taken away by a demonic beast, and no one knows where he has gone since," Helsing replied. Subsequently, the scandal of the family was revealed, and our family declined. ”

I asked, "Ugly?" "My curiosity has been completely hung up, and if he doesn't say anything, I'll keep pestering him until the IBA black market.

He showed a deeply funny expression and smiled bitterly, "This bastard turned out to be in love with a female blood clan. ”

"What? Female Blood? And it's no wonder. ”

Helsing asked, "What's the wonder?" ”

I said, "You've also seen those female blood clans, although they only like to suck blood, and have no human desires, but if they use demon blood to charm, it is really amazing, I think even those high-ranking monks have to bow down under their skirts.... Unless the one being tempted is a saint. ”

"What I heard was a very different story," Helsing said. Longley Helsing and the Bloodline are truly in love. But his mother disagreed. ”

I don't think any normal mother would agree to it.

But who knows? Love is elusive. Maybe they really love each other?

Helsing continued: "The most disgusting version of the rumor I have ever heard is that his mother has an ugly, extraordinary love for her son, no, it is not love, but fanaticism. She burned the female blood alive and..."

Speaking of which, he was a little hesitant, but I smelled the smell of scandal.

I asked, "She wouldn't do anything to that Longley, would she?" ”

Helsing grinned and laughed uncontrollably, the first time I had known him, and he said, "She had a shot with him." ”

I laughed and high-fived Master Helsing, and I said, "Do you think this is true?" ”

"I believe that's the truth," Helsing said. ”

It's not a big deal to watch the excitement, but I like it.

"So Longley Helsing's mother isn't a good thing."

"She also died at Longley's hands, and it is said that he threw her head among the Vatican priests," Helsing said. ”

"What a mess."

"Longley has fled, his whereabouts unknown, and some say he's looking for a way to resurrect the Bloodwoman," Helsing said. This legend has been passed down in our family, and it has never stopped as the family has been reduced to mediocrity and a laughing stock. The elders told me that demons would come near us and tempt us in beautiful forms, and all we could do was destroy them immediately. ”

I said, "It's a bizarre story. But I do sympathize with that Longley Helsing, and see his affection for that female blood, it is really touching, and if there is a miracle of resurrection in the world, I hope he can find it. ”

Helsing: "I follow the precepts of my family, and I am so strict that the people of the Sword and Shield Society call me the blindfolded bull. When I practice, when I fight, even in my dreams, I never relax, I keep telling myself to stay away from the temptation of women, to purify my heart, to stick to my will, and to pray to God for my sword not to waver in the face of demons. ”

I laughed and said, "Of course you can do it!" You're the strongest swordsman I've ever seen, much stronger than the Bloodline's Tiphon and Nana. ”

Helsing drew his sword, the bright blade a little glaring, and he said, "I have betrayed the ancestral teachings, I have betrayed the precepts, I have betrayed my comrades, but I have no regrets. ”

He's talking about his wife. He ended up on the same path as his ancestors.

I echoed from the bottom of my heart: "For a woman like Mrs. Yaochi, everything is worth it. ”

Helsing said, "Do you know what a sword and shield will look like?" ”

This question made me stunned for a long time, and I vaguely remembered that I had seen bad things in my dreams, but those things were like an attic in the fog, out of reach.

I said, "It's very rigid, like your first impression on me." ”

Helsing said, "Man to man... There are differences. To say that the people of the Sword and Shield Society are all virtuous, that is not right. But most of them are tendons, and they are determined to be dead and will never be accommodating. For example, they will reduce a certain class of people to slaves, a certain class of people to the superior, a certain class of people to the nobility, a certain class of people to enemies, and a certain class of people to heretics..."

"And then they can hunt happily and with no hindrance?"

"Yes, they like that one-size-fits-all," Helsing said. More than a hundred years ago, when the Sword and Shield Society had just emerged from the shadow of the Catastrophe, we met the survivors of the Demon Daughter in the wasteland. Because of some conflicts, we easily regarded them as heretics and demons, and ordered that anyone who showed signs of a demon daughter should be killed. ”

"Well, did you burn witches at the stake?"

I was joking, to liven up the atmosphere, but Helsing replied, "Yes, exactly like the medieval record." The Sword and Shield Society initially preached that the end was the cause of the Anno Empire, and that the only way to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past was to burn the witches. ”

"I guess you saved Mrs. Yaochi who was burned at the stake?"

Helsing looked up, his expression proud, as if that was the most boastful thing in his life.

He laughed, "Isn't it?" It was perhaps the weakest moment of my life, but every sword I've ever had since been as heavy and powerful as it was then. Guess what came to mind at the time? ”

"Longley Helsing?"

Helsing replied, "Exactly." ”
