Chapter 1: The Demon Hunter Hand Ties

Next Chapter

In the dim and damp room, a blinding light fell on Leon's face through the narrow window.

He covered his eyes with the back of his hand, propped himself up, and looked at the small opening window with some confusion.

Three philosophical questions pop up in my head: Who am I, where do I come from, and where am I going?

But soon, the chaotic thoughts in his mind were cleared.

All the memories came to me spontaneously, like a book unfolding page by page, without thinking, as if they were all his own experiences.

There are those of his modern-day Leon, and there are also those of Tebelle Leon, the original owner of this body.

Here's the fact – he traveled to a suspiciously medieval era and became the only son of a country baron.

The reason why it is said to be a medieval era is because in the memory of the original owner, this is a place with "supernatural powers" For example, there was a dragon training ranch in Norway, where the Vikings' dragon warships were able to sweep across the North Sea using sea dragon skeletons, the Mediterranean Sea was often infested with sea monsters, causing storms and typhoons, and a merchant ship from Mexico last week was said to have been killed in the belly of a sea monster, and an adjacent village was destroyed by werewolves overnight, and the knights of the church arrived with skeletons gnawed beyond recognition......

Of course, these are all legends, he has not seen them with his own eyes, and it is possible that these memories belong to the unique feudal superstitious stories of this era, such as Grandma Wolf, the Seven Dwarfs and the like.

But soon, supernatural forces appeared in front of him without warning, destroying his materialistic beliefs.

At this moment, a yellowed parchment codex floated in front of him without warning.

On the cover is "Demon Hunter Hand Tie" - several large dark blood-stained characters, which may be Latin letters or Chinese characters.

In short, he can understand that this should not be some kind of physical text, but a kind of "thought" that exists in consciousness.

He reached for it, but it went straight through the cover - the Demon Hunter was not a physical one.

"Is it a hallucination?"

He hesitated for a moment, then tried to turn it open with his consciousness, and everything fell into place.

After opening the first page of the Demon Hunter's Hand Tie, it was still made of parchment with a dark yellow hue and stains of blood, and the first page, which was originally blank, gradually emerged as he looked at it, and words that could have been Latin or Chinese characters gradually emerged.

That's what the first page is about.

He suppressed the amazement in his heart and turned the second page.

Casting page (Infuse materials to craft specific equipment - this feature is not enabled yet, and the casting function will be unlocked when you hunt any demon)

Flipping back a little further, it's completely blank.

He shook his head and looked at the Demon Hunter Codex in front of him, thoughts racing in his head.

"Hunt the Demon ......"

"In other words, there are really demons in this world, so the legends that Leon, the original owner of this body, has heard are most likely true?"

"This book took me through, so this thing is my must-have golden finger for the traverser?"

He cleared his throat and said, "Hey, can you send me back to the world I was?"

The strange and familiar voice made Leon frown slightly, and the book did not answer the doubts in Leon's heart, it was like a simple dead thing, quietly suspended in mid-air.

"It seems that it can't be ...... Also, it must have taken a lot of money to travel through this kind of thing, and how could this book bring me here so easily to send me back. ”

He could only sort out his thoughts, intending to sort out the general outline of this world and the background of the era in which he lived.

Today, Europe is shrouded in the terrible scourge of the Black Death, or the bubonic plague, a terrible disease that is said to have killed a third of Europe's population even in later generations...... It is not necessarily the afterlife, because the two worlds may not be the same at all, but there are some similarities in history.

This is due to the fact that there is a high probability that there are demons in this world.

In short, even on the earth of 2020 where Leon lives, the reputation of the "Black Death" is still thunderous.

The original owner also died of the Black Death, and after his illness, he refused to be treated by his father from Syracuse, a plague doctor wearing a crow's mouth mask, and isolated himself.

He believes that these so-called doctors have never saved a single life, on the contrary, the people they have treated have all died.

The young man believed that the plague doctors in the crow's beak mask were the embodiment of death, who had come to the world to harvest life—he was terrified of death, but that didn't change his fate, and it was too difficult to defeat the Black Death with human immunity alone.

It's just that I don't know what's going on, after he crossed over, the Black Death on his body was miraculously cured.

He took off his shirt, and his darkened complexion had faded, and the two abscesses under his armpits had healed, revealing two egg-sized scars, on which the shriveled dead skin was rubbed off—the hallmarks of the black dead had left him.

This is also the origin of the Demon Hunter's "Black Death Healer" skill.

As soon as he cleared his mind, Li Ang fell into a deep depression, and there was no joy at all to mention the joy of mentioning the golden finger.

For many frustrated people, crossing may mean that they are about to write a magnificent epic, break free from the current predicament, and become a winner in life.

But he is different, firstly, he has both parents and a wealthy family, secondly, he has succeeded in his studies, his career is thriving, and he is about to earn the first pot of gold in his life, and thirdly, he is healthy, no disasters or diseases, handsome, tall, and he is half a winner model in life.

Even if he becomes the heir of a small lord, but the nobles of the Middle Ages, even if he becomes a king and has great authority, but so what?

Don't you still live in the Middle Ages, where feces were dumped at will, the smell was noisy, and epidemics were raging?

Is it because the game is not fun or the novel is not good?

He tries to clear his mind and try to get rid of this low mood, but many times you can't do it knowing that you should be uplifted by now instead of being sad.

"Okay Leon, let's try to survive first, just a long-term publicly-funded tour or a very advanced VR role-playing game. ”

"And demons, dragons, werewolves, etc., this kind of rather fantastical thing, ordinary people can't see it. ”

"In the modern world, even if Jack Ma is sitting on hundreds of millions of family furniture, what happiness can he experience?

He comforted himself and hypnotized himself over and over again, and although he still felt in his heart that being like Jack Ma was far happier than crossing over, the depression was indeed not so strong.

The most indispensable thing for a person is the goal, and the short-term goal he set for himself is very simple, that is, to play the role of "Leon" well, not to be seen through by others who are different from the past, and then be possessed by the devil and tied to the stake.

And the long-term goal is probably ...... Try hunting a demon?

Since there was a transcendent door waiting for him to push it open, it was natural to try it, although hunting demons sounded dangerous.

Li Ang coughed, feeling that his throat was so dry, he hurriedly took a crockpot from the desk by the window, poured it down, and suddenly felt that the whole person was reborn, and even the obvious smell in the water felt less serious.

Leon's father, Baron Tebelli, was a vassal under the Count of Syracuse, and his territory was the small town "Tebelli" in southern Sicily, with a population of more than 500, which was a very powerful baron, of course, this could not change the contempt of those big city nobles as "country lords".

The status quo of the lords attacking each other in the Middle Ages is still very serious, the big and small lords eat small fish, scattered all over the land of Europe, and become a nobleman may not have a high probability of life safety after losing the war, but the premise is that someone pays a ransom for you.

However, since King William II of Sicily cleared up the civil strife, the domestic situation in Sicily has become more and more stable, and the Count of Campbell, the great feudal lord to whom Baron Tebelli is loyal, is quite strong, and can also ensure that the small feudal lords under his command are not disturbed by foreign enemies.

Syracuse was once the largest city in Sicily, and in the classical era, it was one of the most powerful Greek city-states, with a population of 200,000 and more than a million people under its rule at its peak, and its strength once surpassed that of Carthage, a North African power that surpassed Hannibal, and the Peloponnesian alliance led by the Spartans.

But later, the already declining Syracuse was destroyed by the Romans, and then it was invaded by the Huns and Ostrogoths, and now the ancient city of Syracuse, with a population of less than 10,000, but including Baron Tebeli, Count Campbell of Syracuse has more than 20 vassals of all sizes, and in an emergency, he can mobilize nearly 100 knights and thousands of soldiers, and he is also a very powerful figure in the Kingdom of Sicily.

"I don't remember who Wilhelm II is, and I can't tell the names of these Western kings for several generations. ”

"The only person I can name accurately in my head is Louis XVI, the first King of France to be guillotined, no, Elizabeth...... How many lifetimes have passed?"

"Forget it, I think what is this mess for. ”

"However, according to the description in Leon's memory, the Sicilian king has just cleared up the civil strife for a year, and the whole country is in the stage of recuperation, so there should be no war with other countries in the short term, after all, further north expansion is the territory of the Papal States, except for the filial son of God, France, no one should dare to use a knife against the Pope, right?"

Thinking of this, his mind was slightly relieved, and not being able to fight meant that he and his father would not be drafted into battle by Count Campbell of Syracuse in a short period of time.

There is still time for development.

He frowned suddenly, raised his arm to the tip of his nose and twitched his nose, and suddenly a faint sour smell hit.

He immediately realized that as a Christian he barely bathed, and it is said that the mother of King Henry IV of France was canonized by the Church because she did not bathe all her life......

Especially during the Black Death, it was widely believed that bathing would open pores and increase the possibility of viruses entering the body, so they would not be able to take a bath.

Realizing this, Leon's heart suddenly felt a sense of despair, because it meant that he would live a stinking life with those stinking people in this dark and damp castle.

And in the future, it is very likely that he will also marry an equally smelly aristocratic wife, and will be supervised by him, and will be forced to live a life without bathing.

Gan!

PS: The first king to be guillotined was King Charles I of England, and Leon remembered it wrong.
