Chapter 71: The Hunter

"He's injured, and the place where he was bitten by a vampire needs to be treated in a timely manner, otherwise there is a risk of infection. The Chena pharmacy in the northwest corner had an antidote to his injuries. ”

After coming out of the sewers, the old witch hunter immediately checked Yeskovich's injuries. After confirming that the wound was okay, Rhodes was referred to a pharmacy to treat Yeskovich's injury.

"This is a low-level vampire, it should be said that he is not even a vampire, it is estimated that he has just become a blood servant not long ago, he is considered lucky, otherwise, with the power of a vampire, just now, he would have died in the tunnel. ”

The old witch hunter continued, and took a cigarette from his bosom, lit it with a match, and took the cigarette in his mouth, and smoked it himself.

"By the way, why are you chasing vampires? A bunch of mercenaries can't afford to risk so much for a few small bucks. ”

The old witch hunter looks experienced, and has a bit of a vicissitudes of life. But there is a lot of talk, especially when it comes to asking about vampires. In the moonlight, the town was already in chaos because of the chase just now, and people ran into the streets in horror, instinctively gathering together. I asked if the other party was injured or attacked. And Rod and the witch hunter, the shaman Yeskovich, quietly walked in the crowd. It did not attract the attention of others in the slightest.

"We are not mercenaries, I am Lord Rhodes of Blackhammer Castle, and he is my companion - Yeskovich. We have been ordered by the Ice Queen, Caterina, to hunt down the vampires of the kingdom. ”

"You're the Chosen One, Rod?"

The witch hunter stopped, staring at Rhodes with a strange gaze.

"yes, what's wrong?"

Rod replied calmly.

"Hahaha, it's nothing, I thought that the famous Rhodes, the son of Thor, should be a warrior with great strength and strength. But it seems that it is clearly not. ”

The old witch hunter laughed.

"The Chosen One is also mortal, and besides, hunting down vampires is not my forte. ”

"Okay, but I have to admit that you guys were brave just now, and in that case, few people dared to go down the sewers. ”

The witch hunter continued walking, saying.

"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Diego Scott, a member of the Knights Templar Order of Sigmar. ”

The witch hunter whispered.

Witch hunters, both in the medieval Warhammer world and in other worlds, are one of the most popular classes. However, in the medieval world, they were not the kind of people who had no official background, on the contrary, every witch hunter was an excellent warrior selected through layers of assessment within the empire. In fact, the witch hunters are just a disdainful name for them from the outside world, and their real name is just like the old witch hunter himself has just said - the Knights Templar of Sigmar.

It is an ancient and sacred organization, originally known as the Knights of the Silver Hammer, whose history dates back to the days when Sigma founded his empire. From the very beginning, the Knights set their goal to rid the world of all evil and chaos. All those who join the Order must surrender all their property as a condition of membership.

In addition, they also have to go through layers of assessments, physical fitness, strength, speed, reflexes, psychological endurance, etc., and sometimes the auditors will use various hallucinogenic herbs to test whether the spiritual will of the members is strong enough, and the losers will directly become crazy people, and will be thrown back into society and live on the streets. However, those who can successfully pass the test are the best in a hundred. That's a symbol of glory. Scale Literature

As elite warriors to eradicate evil, witch hunters are often at the forefront of Chaos, often acting alone, tracking Chaos, tracking down anyone who has been corrupted by Chaos, and killing them as soon as they find them. Sometimes, in order not to spare any suspicious person, an entire village will be slaughtered. As a result, witch hunters are often described as insane, fanatics, but this is only an isolated case, and most witch hunters are sane and sophisticated hunters. Like a true hunter, they will stand in the corner, waiting for Chaos cultists or those corrupted by Chaos to come to their door, and then assassinate them on a terrible night. This is the most frequent practice. Of course, some bizarre practices are a different story.

And judging by Diego's approach, Rhodes believes that he is a normal person......

"By the way, how long have you been tracking these vampires?"

Rhodes asked.

"For more than a month, the castle was visited for the first time when vampires were heard. ”

"So, what have you found in the past month or so?"

"They are not individuals, but a group. However, they are not numerous, and there is a certain pattern to the foraging location. Most of them forage in the suburbs, and they will go into the city about once a week to look for food in the castle, and the location is not fixed. But the frequency is about that. The last attack took place eight days ago in a farmer's house on the outskirts. ”

"So you've been lurking in the tavern for the past week, waiting for the right moment, and by the way, asking for gossip?"

Rod asked.

"Don't you either. ”

The old witch hunter laughed.

Chatting, the three of them returned to the Raven's Journey Tavern. As on the streets, some people have woken up because of the vampire haunts. Others continued to snort. For example, Bogur, the dwarf was still sleeping in his bed until Rhodes returned. Caroline and Tarlenham were already waiting at the door. They couldn't keep up with Rod and Yeskovich in the first place, and were left far behind, so they had no choice but to return to the tavern and wait.

Seeing Rod come back, Caroline jumped up excitedly, "Thank goodness you're okay......" she read excitedly. It took a moment to realize that he was not acting properly...... After all, in full view......

"Friend, where have you been? Why haven't I seen you go out?"

The tavern owner asked in confusion. He didn't go upstairs until late, but he didn't see a man go out until the clock struck midnight. I was very surprised by the return of Rhodes and his party.

"We just went out to see the excitement, and I heard that vampires had just attacked the town. ”

Rhodes arrived, and Yeskovich tightened his cloak and wrapped his shoulders around the blood-stained gauze.

"Well, I heard that's the case. But you're too bold to run out of vampires...... I can assure you that this hostel is absolutely safe. But out of here, I can't guarantee it. ”

The tavernkeeper muttered.

Rhodes found that the Imperial Witch Hunter he had just met had disappeared without knowing when, and he had obviously come in with him......
