383. Resonating bells
"A passing foreigner."
Lan said after a moment's pause.
"I've come from far away, even farther away than time. I'm going to leave when it's time to leave, and the time here probably won't trap me. ”
Raven hunter Erin listened quietly, not surprised, not questioning.
Tonight, no matter what weird things happen, it's not enough to be surprised.
"Then why don't you wait quietly for your 'time to leave'? With your skills, even in a place like Yanan, it's not a problem to hide for a while. ”
"Because of the Old Gods." Lan replied dryly.
"With the power of time in my hands, and the blood of the strange old gods, I need to be sure that these things won't follow me away. To put it simply, my existence is a filter. ”
"People who live outside of Yanan don't want to turn their home into a second Yanan, can you understand?"
Because of the 'advanced curative effect' of blood therapy, the Yanan people always look down on outsiders, and regard them as countrymen who go to the city to take advantage.
But in the eyes of people like Lan En, who have no need for blood therapy, staying away from Yanan is a normal decision.
Luckily, Erin is also a foreigner, so she understands this sentiment.
"Then do what you want, faraway hunter."
Beneath the beak mask, Erin smiled indifferently.
"One more person, one more possibility to get out of the cycle. Although I don't expect much from that. ”
Preliminary negotiations completed.
Although Lan En did not reach a good relationship with the other party, he at least confirmed the unity of their positions.
That's the basis for helping each other.
"Take it."
From under the pitch-black tobaher cloak, Erin threw a small rattle at Lane.
Lan easily pinched the small bar grip of the rattle in mid-air.
But what is strange is that the rattle, which rotates in mid-air for at least two and a half weeks, never makes much noise.
Faced with the witcher's doubts, Erin explained a little.
"The Resonance Bell is a summoning prop that allows the respondent to be summoned as a spirit to help. One of the discoveries found by hunters in the dungeon labyrinth, the bell is said to be able to cross dimensions. ”
"If I'm in trouble, I'll help when I'm free."
Ringtones across dimensions. Lan chuckled.
If it was before seeing so many strange things in Yanan, this little bell would definitely make itself jaw-dropping.
But now, he's gotten a little used to these things.
"Thanks, I'll take it. Speaking of help, why don't we exchange information first? ”
Lann put the bell in the alchemy leather pouch on his back and said to Erin.
"I thought that the most profound and knowledgeable study of the ancient gods would be the healing church. But now, it seems that the healing church was born from the scholars of Byron Weis, and that is where the study of the ancient gods began. The stagnation of time is probably inseparable from the old gods, I want to go there to see, do you know how to get there? ”
Lan En's logic is very clear, and the context of his investigation has followed the ancient gods all the way.
"Byron Weiss?" The Raven Hunter shook his head slightly.
"You can't get by, Byron Weiss has long been closed, and the gate is watched by the loyal servant of Master William, who, though he has gone mad during a dungeon exploration, is still obsessed with his master and obeys his words. Without the command to open the door, which is the motto that has been passed down from generation to generation in the healing church, the door would not have been opened for anyone. ”
Erin's tone was a little regretful, as a sober hunter, she had long wanted to go to Byron Weiss to have a look.
But that door was manipulated by scholars, and brute force could not have opened it.
But the witcher blinked slightly.
"Oh, the book of Proverbs."
"I got it."
Erin was not surprised: "Well, so, it's hard even in the past, let alone in the past"
Halfway through speaking, the beak mask turned sharply towards Lan En as if it had just reacted: "Huh?!" ”
"I went to the church agent to find out what was going on, but she became a beast in front of me, and then I cut her down and got it."
The witcher said, taking out the gold pendant from the alchemy leather bag, spreading it out in his hand and handing it to Erin.
The crow hunter took it, studying the carved words on the pendant.
"Reverence for the blood of the Old Gods, this is really what I never thought of killing the church agent to get this password."
She was a hunter working under the Healing Church after all, and the option of hunting Church agents was hard to notice in her mind.
Erin told Lane about the route to Byron Weiss, and she noticed that she hadn't looked too far into the church sites in the time backtracking that had been repeated many times.
Because in normal hunting, she would not go to these places at all, so now, this has also become her blind spot.
'Maybe I should go around the cathedral, maybe I can make some discoveries, or let the hunters who have gone mad in those places rest in peace.' ’
She thought to herself.
Lan and Erin each decide to go to different places to find clues, so that they can be a little more efficient.
"That's right."
Before Erin could leave, Lane suddenly stopped her.
"What's the matter?"
"Do you know that Yanan has such a place?"
Lan briefly described the dream in which he was forcibly pulled into his sleep when he fell asleep.
This dream happened in Yanan, at least there should be a prototype, or the integration of multiple prototypes.
And as he expected, it went even better than his best prediction. The Raven Hunter interrupted him almost halfway through his description, just as he had finished describing the appearance of the garden and the chapel.
"Hunter's Workshop? Why do you know about this place? It was hidden in the malice of the Yananans long after the heroic age of the hunters passed. That was a long time ago. ”
Lan En said calmly.
"On this night, strange things, old things come out like a rush, and who knows what will happen next?"
Erin didn't care too much either.
She told Rann where the workshop was, then shook her cloak and turned away.
The location of the place is close, even right next to the little church of Orton.
So Lan En didn't hesitate much, and prepared to go over and have a look.
The Hunter's Workshop was once a place where hunters developed and experimented with new weapons, and according to Erin, the first hunter in history is still buried there.
There used to be a lot of people coming and going, and a large number of hunters studied and connected there, so much so that many factions were divided according to their fighting style.
The most widespread of the Sawtooth Gang, the Powder Keg Gang with their expertise in gunpowder weapons, and the Church Hunters with heavy armaments.
These divisions made Lan En feel a bit of the Witcher School's déjà vu.
