Templar Street is a much larger area than the central part of Yanam, but most of the area has a crowded feel compared to the huge area. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info densely arranged buildings at first glance look like houses built by children, making it difficult to find patterns, and it is easy to get lost when you come for the first time.

The quaint stone walls, narrow steps, and towering spires cast eerie shadows in the dim light of dusk. The cold, lonely atmosphere surrounds the streets, and everything seems to have lost its color, and only when you look up into the distance can you find a trace of color in the fiery clouds on the horizon.

After leaving the chapel, he walked through the dark streets, where he could not feel the breath of people, just like the middle of Anan before, where only different enemies roamed the streets.

It seems that even if the bridge is closed, it will not make it a safe place.

The mad Ananites are no longer seen here, but the new enemy is much stronger. Among them, the most common one is a tall man with a lantern and a weapon, and the style of some of the clergy can be seen from their clothing, and it is supposed that the church personnel who stayed here have become monsters. There was no room for frenzy on their pale faces, as if they were praying piously.

Walking through the streets occupied by such ecclesiastical personnel, one cannot help but suspect that this Templar Street has been turned into a paradise for wild beasts.

The Great Church he was going to was at the end of Templar Street, and he had to climb several flights of stairs to the upper level, but a large gate blocked his progress.

This is the door in front of the Grand Church Square, and the sturdy steel valve is so tightly blocked that it can only be opened from the other side. It is impossible to get someone to open the door, there are only all kinds of monsters on the street, and even someone will not open it for him, a strange hunter. Of course, it is not a simple matter to climb over, it should be to prevent the invasion of wild beasts, and the iron gate and the outer wall are built tall and strong, only a little worse than the gate that blocks the bridge.

After several attempts, he gave up on turning over, at least not until he had improved his physique several times more.

If you can't get in from here, you'll have to find out if there's another way around. It's not an easy thing to do, and it can be a surprise to have to fight in his current state.

So he decided to go back to the Hunter's Dream Realm to get ready.

He returned to the Chapel of Orton along the same route, and because he had cleaned it up before, there were not many enemies on the road, and he came back without incident. Before entering, he noticed a flash of light in the corner of the outer wall of the church, because it was stuck in the corner, and he didn't see it when he came out.

Walked cautiously and found a body there. The corpse itself was not anomalous, except for a faint glow on its head.

He brought his hand closer, and a frenzied knowledge melted into his mind, the same feeling as when he had encountered the Priesthood Beast and Father Gascoigne before, except that this knowledge was incomplete, only fragments could not constitute specific information, but the impact was not without it. The world around me seems to have undergone some kind of change again, as if the world wrapped in layers of fog has been wiped away, making people feel more awake.

He didn't know what that portended, but it seemed like it would allow him to see a more real world.

Leaving the body, he entered the chapel, where the man in red was still kneeling on the ground, seemingly praying.

"Hello."

"Is there anything wrong with you? Hunter. ”

"I went to the Great Church, but an iron gate blocked the way. Do you know how to open or bypass it? ”

"Hmmm......"

The man in red thought for a moment, apparently he had been living here all along, and he knew a lot about the situation here.

"Iron Gate...... I remember. It is a gate that closes tightly on Hunt Night, and will only open when the Boss Hunter badge is revealed. That badge is only available to the Captain of the Church Hunters, and the door can only be opened when the Captain returns. The badge is also proof of the end of the hunt. ”

"Church hunters? Where are they? ”

"I don't know."

More things were not clear to the man in red, but now he finally had some clues.

After saying goodbye to the man in red, he walked to the middle of the church, where there was also a lantern, through which he returned to the hunter's dream.

The hunter's dream is still the same, the puppet is still standing in the old place, and there is still no trace of the old hunter in the hunter's room.

However, it was not unchanged, there was a large cup-like object outside the side door on the left side of the hunter's room, and there was also one such thing at the corner between the steps below the side door and the wall, and several messengers appeared in the originally empty cup.

As he approached the messengers, he felt the same situation as the puppet channeled the Blood Will, and something resembling an interface appeared in his mind, and instead of personal information, several items appeared.

He can obtain the items in it through trading, and what needs to be paid is Enlightenment.

When knowledge was just acquired, enlightenment also increased. Enlightenment can now be used as currency to trade items, which is equivalent to exchanging knowledge for items. It seems that even the transaction was opened after the enhancement appeared.

There were not many items traded, and among them he saw only Father Gascoigne's clothes.

He was a little confused as to why Father Gascoigne's clothes were here, and a bad feeling vaguely arose in his mind.

He thought about it for a moment and decided to exchange it, although he had found that the clothes he wore on his body as long as he returned to the hunter's dream realm would be restored as if they were reset, but their defense and other aspects were still inferior to Father Gascoigne's clothes.

The moment the deal was completed, he felt a momentary confusion in his thoughts, but it quickly disappeared without much effect. It's a bad feeling, like a fog in my head.

At this moment, a thought flashed through his mind, and various situations were connected together.

The puppet once said that the courier is a being who transmits messages to hunters, so it is supposed to reach out to other hunters. It's not just the information that's being conveyed, it's also the object.

He felt that he had thought simply, perhaps not with knowledge as currency, but at the cost of enlightenment. After gaining knowledge, one will be enlightened, and enlightenment itself means deepening one's understanding of things. Perhaps this is the real thing to get from the messenger at the cost of this. So there will be confusion in the mind after the payment.

He felt more and more the strangeness of the world. (To be continued.) )
