Chapter 41 is too traditional
“Get rid of me? I think you want to kill me more.” Zheng Yichen glanced at the broken wooden gun on the ground, feeling a little unhappy. What happened in the town The murder case brings great suspicion to outsiders? This...well, there doesn't seem to be any problem with this?
Especially in places that seem backward in this era.
"No, no, no, we just want to get rid of you. We have absolutely no other ideas." The mayor of the town quickly shook his head and defended: "We will compensate you..."
"There is no need for compensation. I will leave as soon as I understand some things."
Zheng Yichen didn't like the compensation. Looking at this town, you can tell that there is basically no money here. There may be some gold, silver and jewelry, but the value of those things... Well, if you have money, you can take some as travel expenses when you leave.
The mayor hurriedly agreed. What Zheng Yichen mainly understood was the specific situation of this world. Although this town was remote, it still maintained contact with the outside world and was not isolated from the world. Zheng Yichen's many The mayor answered all the questions one by one.
After Zheng Yichen asked about things like 'ghouls' and resentful spirits, the mayor's eyes changed when he looked at him. It was a kind of... ecstasy? This must be the emotion.
"Are you a demon hunter?"
"Ah?" Zheng Yichen blinked, is there such a profession here? Thinking about the rotten meat that I encountered before, it seems that it is not surprising that there is such a profession in this world: "So, but not very professional."
He wasn't lying about this.
“That’s great!”
In the eyes of the mayor, Zheng Yichen is no longer an outsider with unknown origins, but an outsider with unknown origins. Since he came here, he didn't know much about many things here. The style of painting on his body was different from theirs. In his opinion, since he was a demon hunter, it was normal.
That kind of clothes looks different from what they wear, but as combat protective clothing, the protection is obvious.
After the mayor's attitude towards Zheng Yichen became enthusiastic, he answered every question, and Zheng Yichen also learned more about the situation in this world.
There are many supernatural events in this world, including vampires, ghosts, ghouls, witches and even demons. Since there are such creatures, it is natural that there is such an existence as the church.
After understanding the specific situation, Zheng Yichen nodded. The demon hunters in this world are different from what he thought. They are not the kind who are often rejected and reluctant to take medicine. As for those Abnormal creatures do not appear very frequently.
For many people, such abnormal creatures only exist in stories, but they do exist. When he was young, the mayor here had seen the scene of monks from the church exorcising evil spirits.
He has actually seen it, but most people in the town have never seen abnormal creatures.
After learning enough information, Zheng Yichen made a preliminary judgment about this world. The technology in this world is still in the development stage. In addition to abnormal creatures, there are weapons such as muskets, which are flintlock guns. In that type, long-range weapons are mostly bows and crossbows. Abnormal creatures are not just three or five that you can encounter casually. Most of them can only be encountered in sparsely populated or special places. The abandoned cemetery where Zheng Yichen first appeared was a sparsely populated place, and there were a lot of corpses there. Abnormal creatures will appear.
In popular places, there are very few things like ghouls. Most of those things will only hide in cemeteries. They are relatively cruel, but as long as there are many people, they can actually be killed. Its dried out.
Zheng Yichen encountered dozens of corpses in the abandoned cemetery. They could not be said to be ghouls, but zombies... Although those things were scary and fearless of death regardless of pain, they were osteoporotic. Rotten meat has no defensive power. If you muster up your courage, a standard adult can knock over several of them with a stick.
There shouldn't be any magic in this world that can destroy a town easily.
The mayor said that he had only seen vampires, witches and the like in some books and knew very little about them. Weapons such as muskets are not available in this town. Are there any crossbows? Zheng Yichen didn't know what kind of weapon it was.
In Zheng Yichen's understanding, this world should be of the low-demon type, with supernatural power, but to most ordinary people, that kind of power is the same as an Olympic gold medal on earth, a real existence. But apart from fakes, not many people can get the real thing with their own skills.
You can learn about the existence of that thing through various channels, but you may never have the opportunity to face-to-face contact or see that thing in your life. There are special powers such as magic, but most of them only have a supporting role. ...
The mayor of the small town can say so much, mainly because as the mayor, he has a few books at home, one of which was bought from the church and placed among ordinary people. A rare thing, it contains information about many abnormal creatures...oh, here are evil creatures.
It is considered a popular science book.
Zheng Yichen read the book at the mayor's house. I have to say that the book is quite exquisite. Although it is not a product of modern industrial printing, it still has some thoughtful illustrations. What you encounter in the abandoned cemetery are rotting corpses and zombies.
Ghouls are much stronger than that thing. That thing surpasses zombies in the food chain. They are so strong that even three to five grown-up men may be injured if they deal with them.
Vampires in this world will die when exposed to light. They are afraid of silver. They are traditional vampires. They are not like those in many anime works on earth. As a vampire, they have no traditional vampire weaknesses. Feel free to go out.
The illustration of the witch is an ugly old witch. After reading this book, as a modern person, Zheng Yichen's inner thought was...it's too traditional.
Traditional ones are like the Renaissance. As a vampire, you are afraid of the sun and dare not go out to buy groceries with your silver jewelry. Is that ridiculous? As a witch, aren't you a cute girl who is cute and even somewhat natural? Isn't that true? ?
What’s more important is that the illustrations above are each uglier than the last. I don’t know if this is true or if they are just to further express that they are evil creatures. They were specially drawn to be so ugly. As a time traveler, for the church, When I mention this kind of word, I always think of Yue Buqun and Hua Tiegan. Well, it seems a little inappropriate to think like this?
After reading this book, Zheng Yichen thought about what he had to do next. It was also necessary to find some abnormal creatures, otherwise his body would wither over time. It was just like growing flowers. The difference was that he had to give himself regular Watering, no one came to water him.
It is also necessary to search for visions outside the world. He is worried that if the abnormal creatures in this world cannot meet his abnormal needs in the future, he will have to find visions to contact a more powerful world.
