Chapter 1440: City survey

Chapter 1440: City survey

When the sun rises, this old and bloated medieval city seems to have been reinjected into temporary vitality, running in the humming sounds of the animals and the roar of the wheels running over the gravel road. The sun sweeps over the towering walls of the city. The tower, which illuminates the sparkling glass panes on the bell tower, gold-plated the steeples of the church and the castle, and finally falls into the ruined, low-pitched slums, as if to make the city the most stinking Some of the drying is as warm as the rotten ditch in the carp lane and the black block.

Many gates that had been closed all night in the city began to open, and the soldiers in blue and white blouses stood in front of the inner city gate called the "Wrangler Gate", watching those who were humpbacked and respectfully The residents of the outer city with their heads crossed the gate and went to the market in the inner city and the jugglers' square to discuss life. In the crowd, occasionally you can see the exaggerated caravan swaying from the street, the gypsy woman wearing a colorful dress on the roof of the caravan, the soldiers will inevitably be killed The team is usually asking for a few coins, or asking for a harmless price on those gypsy girls. No one will comment on this, because even the crickets in the carp all know that these Gypsies are barbaric creatures outside the civilized society that allow their cars to enter the city and are already alms by the regional bishops and lords. The great grace of the day, if not paid enough protection, these Gypsies may have been hanged outside the city as the black magic minions before entering the city.

Any martyrdom they receive in the city is actually part of the “protection money”.

Lily and Hao Ren were also mixed in the crowd. They brought a hood and bowed their heads, pretending to be two farmers who had just entered the city from the countryside to cover up their overly obvious oriental characteristics. This kind of disguise is really simple, and even if there is a dedicated soldier who can see the problem at a glance, it is clear that there are no such conscientious people in the guards who guard the gates. They just pretend to stand at the gate of the city. The main role is to show the majesty of the city, and to extort those foreigners and small businessmen who seem to be able to fish.

The inner city is much more prosperous than the outer city, and the building is more neat and tidy. It is only in Hao Ren’s view that this evolution is also limited. After experiencing the baptism of modern cities and even different worlds, he has been hard to artificially create this era. The building has a sense of shock.

All the way to release the mental stimulation, coupled with Lily’s sensitive ears that did not let go of any wind and grass, the two quickly collected the required information in this strange city, and there was no sign of the foreigner’s cramped between the advance and retreat. sense. Not long after, they found the destination of the trip: a small square on the edge of the inner city.

This square is obviously not a place to hold a rally. Several yawning soldiers are guarding the square, not allowing ordinary people to come at random, and the things they guard are in the middle of the square: there is a shackled hang The frame and two black stone pillars, the blackened traces on the stone pillars and the buckles used to secure the ropes illustrate their role: the stake.

The ashes around the fire column have been cleaned up, but there is still a male body hanging on the gallows. The body is swaying in the air, and a ragged linen cloth is wrapped around his dry, thin limbs. It seems to have been hanged for some time.

"Oh... no wonder there is a plague every three or five years in this year," Lily whispered, her tongue whispering. "After hanging the person, I will hang the body directly here. When I put it down, various germs have already proliferated here." Alone, right?"

“Showing the inmate is the means by which the ruler maintains order, at least in this era. A prisoner sometimes has to be hanged for ten days, even if he has been hanging on the gallows until the rope is naturally broken, but it is usually not in the city. Executed."

"Of course I know this. I graduated from Peking University four times." Lily grinned and pretended to tidy her clothes and looked around. "The landlord, do you really think there will be traces left by witches in the vicinity?"

"80% grasp."

"Is that Mrs. Mary not talking about witches who have not been arrested? The so-called rescue witches are used to fool people..."

"Hasselblad told me that in the dark ages, don't believe in any aliens and what you said. In order to survive, they have already ruined their honesty and credit in their stomachs," Hao Ren whispered. "In this respect, The demon hunters must be honest and reliable."

Lily made a long voice: "Oh oh"

Hao Ren looked at the Husky and looked at it: "And Hasselblad gave me a 'corruption ranking of all kinds of people in the dark ages', let me see who is the most unbelievable, who can have conditions to believe, whoever is basic When you are a captain, you are reliable. Do you want to hear it?"

The Huskies girl is fooled: "The landlord, the werewolf number?"

Although she has long accepted the fact that she is a huskies, she still can't help but pay attention to the things of the werewolves.

"Werewolf is the most convincing, because these straight guys will not be intriguing with you. Usually, if you are uncomfortable, you will go straight to you and talk about your ideals, vampires and Olympus. Descendants are relatively credible, because they are good-faced, family glory and glory of the race, as long as you follow their world view, you can figure out how to deal with these guys, and the most unbelievable...is the witch like the original The age is the guy at the bottom."

Hao Ren said, his eyes fell on an inconspicuous floor tile in the corner of the square.

"Because of the weakness, it is even more unscrupulous, because suddenly lost the bondage, so doing things more omnipotent, they have to survive in the dark age is the most difficult, so no one can survive ... no one is a fuel-efficient lamp. ”

On that inconspicuous floor tile, you can see a vague imprint, which is probably just a normal crack for ordinary people, but Hao Ren knows what it is.

A Leta rune.

There is no power in a single Leta rune, so there should be more runes here, probably hidden in the other corners of this "exercise".

However, Hao Ren has no more interest in these runes, just confirm the existence of these runes.

"The landlord, have you found it?" Lily looked at Hao Ren curiously.

"Letta Rune, the witch has been here, they may plan to save their companions during the execution, but they don't know when the captured witch will be executed, so they set up Leta here in advance. Rune. It seems that the witches who are arrested are important members of their organization or group, and may even be leaders. Otherwise, witches in this era may not be so risky to save their companions."

Lily blinked: "They seem to have a wizard to help me say what is the relationship between a witch and a witch?"

“The number of wizards is less than that of witches, because the mythical wizards were consumed as a cannon fodder by their 'masters', and the witches were far from the frontal battlefield because the frontal combat power was not as good as the wizards. As a result, this became the mainstream wizard in the dark ages. "Haoren explained, "The inheritance system of the witch and the witch is different, because the different 'teaching' schemes designed for the different types of human beings when they were raising the wizards were actually different. Human body experiment. Under normal circumstances, the witch and the witch will not have any dealings, but there is no contradiction. After the end of the mythology, they are all in a circle without water and water, but after all, they are the same door. They still have some communication. The process of my guess is this: Vivienne’s sleeping place produces a stronger energy release, which attracts a group of witches who may plan to go from Vivienne’s sleeping place. It’s cheap, but it’s accidentally revealing whereabouts and causing one of them to be arrested. The wizard may have invited them. Foreign aid, it may be a passing wizard he accepted the invitation witches, but one thing is certain, and that is between them had known before: In this day and age, every organization will not be free to accept the reclusive strangers ...... "

Lily is a bit curious: "Can ordinary people in this era catch the witch?"

"Ordinary people are obviously weaker than wizards who master magic, but they are not completely rebellious. After all, they have been dealing with different classes since ancient times. Even if human beings are always in a weak position, there are some coping methods. These methods are usually mastered. In the hands of the medieval church class and some hidden exorcism organizations, their predecessors were basically various human resistance organizations in the mythological era, some of which may have been assisted by the skills of the demon hunters and even material supplies... even until In the 21st century, some hidden organizations are still operating in secret, monitoring the supernatural forces in the world. But as time goes by and human growth in positive forces, the extinction of these organizations is an inevitable trend. ”

Hao Ren said the knowledge he had heard from the mouth of Hasselblad and learned from the weekdays. He took Lily slowly from the small square and left the place without notice.

The soldiers in the guard square looked at the pedestrians who passed by in front of them. Their eyes stayed on Hao Ren and Lily for about a second or two. However, they soon thought that this was two rural people who had neither oil and water. Then he turned his head back.

They began to discuss the poor prisoners hanging on the gallows, as well as the recent "black magic" rumors.

Throughout the day, Hao Ren and Li Li are all wandering around the city. Sometimes they are following the crowd in those open places. Sometimes they use non-human skills to sneak into places where civilians are prohibited from collecting information. This is the time until the night falls.

The two disguised themselves, turned the wall through the night, and prepared to meet the mysterious witches...
