Chapter 37 The Ghoul Case

【Ghoul Case】

Han Dong immediately became curious.

"Isn't the interior of the holy city absolutely safe? Ghouls... monsters in Western literature, why do they appear in houses?

Listening to the apprentice knight's statement, it seems that behind the incident, there is also a bounty order issued by the relevant organization.

He should have evaluated the strength of the ghouls based on the degree of damage to the corpse. It may be relatively reluctant to rely on his own strength, so he chose to temporarily recruit teammates.

If I come forward to help, I can gain a deeper understanding of such incidents and the reasons why monsters appear in houses. At the same time, I can also learn about the bounty and get a certain bounty. Now I am also very short of money.

But there are also risks...it's easy to expose, plus I haven't officially entered the academy yet, so dealing with ghouls might be dangerous. "

Facing the temporary recruitment order of the young blond knight, Han Dong did not act for the time being.

He has not officially entered the Knights Academy, and has not received any relevant training in mysticism. Except for the tentacle attack that comes with the head of the Faceless, he does not know any mysterious skills.

"Wait... If there is an enemy skill, there is one!"

…………

After waiting for about five minutes, the young knight felt helpless.

"Most apprentice knights study in the academy, and even if they go out, they won't 'down' to civilian areas to waste time.

The bounty order only mentioned that the cemetery at the junction of the civilian area of ​​Ghana and the civilian area of ​​Samai was suspected of being stolen. Since the interval is not too long, it is required that we come to arrest the person who has just turned into a depraved mind. Newborn ghoul.

Judging from the depth of the scratches and the fungal residue on the corpse, it must be an adult ghoul.

The information has been sent back to the academy, and the bounty has been raised... But if I go back to find someone to form a team now, this ghoul is likely to slip away.

A lot of copper coin rewards, plus extra-curricular credit points, really reluctant to give up!

But I can't joke about my life. "

The young knight put away his sword, and doesn't seem to intend to go into the house to investigate... If he is alive, he has a chance, especially since he has successfully studied in the academy, there is no need to take this risk.

At this moment, a thin and brunette young man slowly squeezed out of the crowd.

wearing a slightly oversized linen shirt,

Under the yellowed skin, bone lines are clearly visible.

"Dangerous area, prohibited..."

Just when a security officer was about to use brute force to push Han Dong back into the crowd, a golden card was handed out.

"Apprentice Knight!!"

For a while, the security personnel stared at Han Dong with surprised eyes and took the initiative to make way.

"I don't know if I can help?"

After some thought, Han Dong determined that the benefits of helping outweigh the disadvantages.

"How many major points are there?"

The young knight came over and looked at Han Dong up and down... To be honest, even the group of nerds majoring in [Library] are in much better physical condition than Han Dong.

"Two o'clock [Mysticism], my name is Alan Andrews." Han Dong deliberately used a pseudonym, but he couldn't find it now anyway.

"Two points... just enough, it's just that the [Mysticism] you've cultivated is a little troublesome to deal with ghouls in such a space-constrained environment.

Introduce yourself.

My name is Cass Maldini, and I have now assigned three Fate Points to [Crusade]... The strength and speed are capable of confronting ordinary ghouls head-on.

But, the problem now lies here.

Just come and see. "

Under the guidance of Cass,

The two came to the hostess hanging at the door.

"The first bounty I received, it only referred to the 'newborn ghoul'.

But the scars on the corpse show that the ghouls currently hiding in this building have already matured... I even suspect that the family deliberately concealed it and secretly raised ghouls in the basement.

Mature ghouls are slightly better than me in every way.

The most troublesome thing is the problem of vitality! Once he can't decapitate him or penetrate his heart, no other attack can stop the ghoul. "

"Um……"

While listening, Han Dong examined the claw-shaped scars on the hostess's body, and silently analyzed in his heart:

"The part torn open by the claws has symptoms of gangrene, swelling of the cells and tissues, severe obstruction of blood circulation... Even if it is not fatally injured, just being scratched is enough to die quickly.

Is this the ghoul? No wonder the apprentice knight did not dare to carry out the task alone.

The danger is greater than I imagined. Once injured and not treated in time, it is likely to die. 』

"Enderva, tell me about your skills? If you prefer the predictive and detective ability of astrology, then forget it."

Han Dong is very direct.

Take out a short blade wrapped around this green breath.

This made Cass in front of him look shocked: "A weapon of destiny that matches the attributes of a major!? What's the use?"

"Can unleash a single non-directional plague attack."

"Plague... ghouls may have some resistance.

However, since it is a weapon of destiny, the effect is definitely there. Okay, when you fight later, you must obey my orders and don't act recklessly... Besides, you are not in good health, so you must hide behind me. "

"it is good."

Cass secretly pulled Han Dong's sleeve, leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Ahem, by the way... how did you get this weapon of destiny?"

"Hidden event."

"Sure enough! I just said, those guys still don't believe it!

Among the fate cards obtained from the main event with a small probability, the probability of turning out weapons is pitifully low. Have to explore hidden events as much as possible, get weapons of destiny from hidden rewards... I envy you.

Although my sword and shield is made of sterling silver, it has a certain exorcism effect, but it is far worse than the weapon of destiny.

wait for me a while.

I have the security guards here with their muskets and surround the building! To prevent the ghouls from running away suddenly during the battle with us. "

Judging from the way Cass spoke and handled things, it was obviously not the first time that he had accepted this kind of bounty quest.

After the personnel are arranged, the body of the hostess is packed in a body bag and transported to the church by relevant personnel for purification and cremation.

Everything is ready.

Han Dong followed behind Cass and stepped into this Victorian-style villa together.

As soon as you enter the door, you can smell a stench of deteriorating flesh.

Cass felt a little uncomfortable, but Han Dong didn't think anything.

After all, Han Dong was a man who dealt with bacteria all day long before his death. Once there is a problem with the culture of the bacteria, the taste... can make people want to diet and lose weight immediately.

"Where are your goggles?"

Cass took out the necessary brass goggles from his waist and put them on his head.

"Did not bring……"

"Aren't you... Aren't you afraid of death? Once you are mentally polluted, it's not as simple as alleviating your "stress"... Fortunately, when I go out today, I will take the spare goggles with me and use them. "

"thanks."

After Han Dong took it, he quickly put it on

Cass said: "You are a occultist, you should know more about [ghouls] than I do... Although they are transformed by humans, they also have a certain connection with things outside the city walls, wear goggles!

Once damaged, exit the battle immediately. "

"it is good."

Han Dong didn't understand at all.

Hearing what Cass said, he became even more curious about the role of "goggles" and the higher beings occupying this world.
