357. Past ...... How long has it been?
The wizarding world's warlock community also did not have the sentiment and awareness to spread technology on a large scale.
One of the world's most powerful sorcerers, the elven sage Ada Emin, once famously said, "I am strong because I possess knowledge, not share it."
So Lan En wasn't worried that Rita would have the mind to reverse the technology and spread it out.
At most, the simple, easy-to-understand woman would play with the musket for a few days with great interest, and then she would return to a luxurious and easy life with this weapon that was ahead of her time.
In fact, Lan En is not worried about the problem of his own strength being reduced by an order of magnitude out of thin air after the birth of firearms in the wizarding world.
Old-school witchers like Geralt and Viselmir may face this problem when it comes to guns.
But he's different.
Space Marines were originally created as superhuman warriors in the interstellar age.
The more advanced the combat environment, the greater their lethality will be.
Lan En just doesn't want the Dryads and Dwarves to be turned into a 'scalp collection' by the humans of the wizarding world.
After unarming the beastly hunters, the young man prepared to return to Gascoigne's house.
There was a bit too much blood piled up here, and the foul-smelling blood of bestiality could drift far away.
Rann now has a bit of a headache about how to deal with the smell.
Even if he had only been in Yanan for such a short time, Lan En would not have felt that the 'smell of accumulated blood' was harmless.
Even ordinary and natural beasts will consciously search for the smell of blood in nature for easy hunting.
And Yanan, who is so fanatical about blood, in this mountain city where bestiality has some unknown connection with blood, Lan En knows without thinking that blood will definitely attract bestial patients.
"Tsk."
Lan En cautiously retreated outside the fountain square as he couldn't help but slam his mouth.
Before the others could fully step out, they could hear the sound of animal claws scraping against the concrete floor and the masonry of the walls in the shadows of the alley across the square.
Yanan's beasts are as sensitive to blood as the Yananians, beyond imagination.
After withdrawing from Fountain Square, Lan simply pulled the lever at the gate of the square.
Let a sturdy iron fence gate squeak and close, separating the fountain square from the residential area.
There are many of these handles that are commonly used in city defense throughout Yanan.
This Victorian-style city, because of the insecurity of its inhabitants, has integrated many castle-era defenses in the city.
Lane returned to the door of Gascoigne's house and knocked on the door.
"Who? Who is it? ā
Viola's nervous voice rang out immediately. It seems that after she left, she was uneasy to stay at the door.
Lan replied calmly and calmly.
"It's me, the batch of patients just now has been dealt with, but the situation makes me a little worried, let's go in and talk about it."
He deliberately didn't put his tone so fast, because he was afraid that Viola would not be able to hear clearly if he was too nervous.
After confirming that the person who knocked on the door was indeed Lanne, there was an immediate 'click' sound of the lock turning from behind the thick wooden door.
Viola's relieved voice and the cheerful chatter of the little girls loomed.
It seems that the two little girls have been by their mother's side all the time.
The door opened, and Lan glanced at Fountain Square again before entering.
Two patients who had been severely beastly to the point of landing on all fours had already rushed there with the smell of blood.
They were now like wild dogs, licking the foul-smelling blood on the floor and wall tiles.
It's not hard to imagine what they would be like when they encounter human blood, or 'higher quality' blood in the definition of the healing church.
Lan En first patted the two little girls on the head, giving them a sense of security.
Ovilla and Victoria, although they have always been very sensible and do not cry or make trouble, but Lan does not think that they are really not afraid.
It's just a sensible support when my father is out and my mother is panicking.
As for Viola, an adult, Lane won't take the time to build her mind.
The current situation is far beyond common sense, and adults have to adapt.
"As I said, something is wrong, and it makes me worried."
Lann led Viola to the window, pulled the curtain through a gap, and pointed to the location of the fountain square.
"The smell of blood has led to more beasts, and while I can still kill this one, I can't make them die without bleeding, which is not a problem at all. Will this be the case on the usual hunt night? I obviously followed Henrik and Gascoigne to kill them casually last night. But that didn't happen. ā
Lane's description made Viola clench her ruby brooch tightly, her throat rolling dry.
"IāI don't understand, I'm not a hunter. But I guess could it be because there are too many people getting sick tonight? ā
Viola cautiously gave a guess.
She pulled her brown hair behind her ears and pursed her lips.
"On the usual hunt nights, the staff of the Healing Church would clean up the corpses in a timely manner, and the bestial patients would not be beyond the hunters' capacity. Before they are attracted to blood, they are hunted by roaming and patrolling hunters. But tonight."
But tonight, it all happened too suddenly.
Whether it was the Healing Church urgently announcing the start of the hunt night, or the sudden outbreak of these bestialized patients, it was too fast and too dense.
Hunters' hunting activities can effectively control bestiality when the number of cases is not severe. But if these cases erupt suddenly, there is only so much hunters can do.
"Whatever the reason, the current situation is not good."
Lann whispered to Viola, he didn't want the two children to hear this, only to add to the alarm.
"How much incense does Gascoigne send back?"
Viola was in an inexplicable trance after Len asked this, and then continued.
"Five pieces of incense, one is burning right now. Hey? This piece has already burned more than half? ā
"Why did it burn so fast. Woo, it should be that the incense Gascoigne bought this time is not of good quality, and he left too quickly. ā
Is it bad quality?
Lan En watched Viola's back as she counted the incense, his eyes narrowing slightly.
He still clearly remembered that Viola had told him that all of Anan's exorcism incense was from the Healing Church.
One piece is enough to burn all night.
How long has it been since nightfall?
As soon as this thought germinated in his mind, Lan En once again felt the scenery in front of him appear a rippling blur, and then returned to normal.
It was a momentary sense of detachment.
I can't seem to tell how much time has passed!
Lan En looked up and looked up through the gap in the curtains.
Above Yanan's towering and sharp architectural outline, a bright moon hanging in the sky was shining on its own.
The phases of the moon have not changed in the slightest from when night had just fallen
