372. Blood of the Old Gods

"I agree that the more experience grows through the exchange, the more advanced our technology becomes."

Lane nodded at Alfred.

Blonde hunters who have been recognized are even more enthusiastic.

He pulled out a wad of red sandpaper from his bosom and shoved it into Lan's hand.

"Great, wonderful! Take it and use it to celebrate our acquaintance! ”

Lan En was a little at a loss to pinch the frosted paper, this person was generally indifferent and exclusive Yanan, and he couldn't help but seem so friendly that people couldn't get used to it.

"It's really worth celebrating, but what is it?"

"Ah, I forgot you're a newbie." Alfred patted his head and said apologetically.

"It's fire paper, a trinket from the church's hunter's workshop. If you rub this sandpaper on the weapon, the surface of the weapon will start to burn, and the duration of one sheet will be about half a minute, and the weapon will not be damaged. After all, hunting wild beasts is the right thing to do. ”

Lan En looked at the fire paper in his hand with curiosity, this technique was indeed very convenient for warriors.

The humans of the wizarding world have a variety of weapons and enchantments, and the burning effect is not without it.

It's even better than Yanan's fire paper, which can set the enemy on fire spontaneously, instead of relying on the flames on his own blade to cause a few burns.

But there is also a problem with enchantments in the wizarding world - enchantments there are all about triggering.

After attaching a magic rune, not every hit triggers the enchantment.

There was once an unlucky noble knight who custom-made a warhammer at Ban Ard's Academy that could burst with extra impact, and as a result, the magic runes flickered during the battle, but the impact effect was not triggered once.

If you ask the college for a refund, they will not accept it. After all, when someone else uses it, at least one out of three times is effective, and you can't say that the craftsmanship of the academy is adulterated.

It's not a man, not a hammer. There is no reason for compensation or return.

Fire paper is a type of fire paper that can steadily output fire damage, and it can be wiped and used, which seems to be very convenient.

It is expected that the cost should also be much cheaper than rune enchantment.

"Thank you, it's a great gift."

Lann tucked the fire paper into the alchemy leather pouch at his back and thanked Alfred.

"By the way, do you know the situation of the clergy who wander around? They all seem to have some. Not very friendly? ”

"'Unfriendly'? Haha, what you said is really tactful. ”

The blonde hunter smiled indifferently.

"Those were the Sumeru people who were brought out of the dungeon labyrinth by the Church a long time ago. The church cured them of their ailments and brought them back to the surface, and in return, they became the gatekeepers of the church. ”

"Trust me, Lanne. Even if you come in from outside the town in a church attire, they will carry out the orders of the church agents and kill you to the letter. ”

A lot of intelligence information popped out in one breath, and Lan En entrusted Mentos to record and analyze it in his mind.

"Church agents? Who's that? And the dungeon maze? ”

The witcher stood in a chattering posture, and it was not easy for Yanan to find someone who knew a lot and was willing to confide in.

Alfred fits Ran's impression of him, warm and cheerful.

"Of course, of course, people who have just come to Yanan are inevitably curious about everything, of course I can explain it to you, anyway, the night is still long."

"The church agent is Ms. Amelia, and after Lawrence's death, his students became church agents. She also gave the order to close the church town tonight. ”

"She's so weak that she lets the hunters of the church hide from the beasts, what's the matter?"

Alfred's mouth did not hide his dissatisfaction, as well as a certain belief and persistence in the profession of hunter.

"As for the dungeon labyrinth? Ah, you're going to go once, at least once, in your future hunter's life. Hunters should always go there and seek their own sacrament. ”

"Receive the flesh and blood of the old gods! This act is the foundation of healing the church. ”

Communion, Lane had heard of this religious concept.

It is a metaphor for the blood of the object of faith as red wine, and meat as bread.

Eating red wine and bread is equivalent to receiving the blessing and love of the object of faith.

But in Yanan, the concept of [Holy Communion] was clearly different from what Lan En had in mind.

At least when it comes to [blood], Lan En feels that they will definitely use real blood.

But 'flesh and blood of the old gods'?

'Old Gods'?!

The witcher had a keen grasp of the key message in the sentence.

"Alfred, you just said. Old Gods? The Healing Church has the flesh and blood of the Old Gods? ”

"That's it." The blonde hunter rightly talked about the flesh and blood of the gods. "The blood of Yanan is the blood of the ancient gods, and the basis of blood healing is to make the blood quality of the blood saints close to the gods through training, and then share it with everyone."

"Human beings are small and shallow, and only through the blood of the ancient gods can they make their existence close to the gods."

"The ultimate pursuit of healing the church is not healing, but approaching, and even becoming a god."

"These things are not hidden, but exist in the proverbs of the church, but the ordinary people in the outside world are too addicted to blood to care about the 'useless' proverbs."

At this point, Lan En was completely sure that the source of the bestiality disease was blood therapy.

If we look at it from a different perspective, the Healing Church is a dark organization that uses religious means to explore the strengthening of the human body.

And they have also rolled out the rough and hidden human body enhancement technology on a large scale! In the name of religion!

Direct blood transfusion, even in the oldest science fiction "Frankenstein", there is no such crude human body modification technique!

The purpose of blood therapy in the Healing Church is not to cure diseases and save lives, but to get more cases and more experimental data!

For them, medical treatment is not a means of treatment, but a means of inquiry.

The knowledge of the blood of the gods is no more intuitive than the phenomenon in the case.

Lan En looked at the enthusiastic blonde hunter in front of him.

He wears the Church's hunter outfit and wields weapons to heal the Church. But his body is also mixed with blood that does not belong to him.

And, with all his heart, he believed in it, and fought endlessly.

The researchers of the Healing Church are not only studying ordinary people on a large scale, but also the elite hunters under their own control.

Lan En had a momentary sense of killing intent, but then, after realizing that the Church Hunter in front of him was also a member of the test subject, his killing intent subsided.

Alfred only felt an inexplicable chill on his neck, and then everything was normal, and he thought it was a wisp of clammy air in his collar.

"How could God allow humans to take their own flesh and blood? That's God. ”

Lan lowered his eyes, his scattered silver hair glowing softly in the moonlight.

Alfred turned his face unnaturally to the side and cleared his throat before continuing.

"Ahem. The gods are no match for time, and the church found the corpse of the old gods in the dungeon labyrinth, which was also the beginning of people confirming the existence of the old gods. ”

"yes, time." Lan looked up, looked at the moon phase, which never seemed to change, and nodded.

"The Old Gods can't beat time, well, that's right, it makes sense."
