Chapter 341 340. Gascoigne
After Lan En followed Henryk for a long time through the twists and turns of the streets of Yharnan, the old hunter killed many lycanthropic patients along the way, and they arrived. A cemetery built in the backyard of the chapel.
This chapel is called Orton Chapel.
It is said to be a 'church', but contrary to common sense, there are no statues or symbolic objects dedicated to any gods.
I don’t know if this ‘Odun’ is the God that the Healing Church believes in.
Lan En didn't ask any more questions, and he wasn't prepared to make any assumptions.
Healing Church, Church. This city is filled with a strong religious atmosphere.
According to Henryk, the entire city was founded by the Healing Church and is still under the management of the Healing Church.
No mayor, no city hall, no city guard
This situation makes Lan En feel very strange. He knew about the concept of a 'clerical state', but he had never been exposed to it.
There is none in the home world.
In the magical world, even the most fanatical Eternal Fire sect must negotiate with secular people who have real power and power.
It is completely different from the dominance of the Healing Church in Yharnam.
"Henryk, it's rare for you to be late."
Among the tombstones arranged randomly in the cemetery, there is a tall man holding a long axe.
This weapon, which is very suitable for chopping, hit a lycanthropic patient's shoulder and arm directly when his head fell off.
Then there was a 'click', the long pole shrank, and the big ax turned into a hand ax suitable for one-handed use. The man took a step forward and chopped off the head of the still struggling lycanthrope patient.
The Orton Chapel is higher than the cemetery and is connected by a staircase four to five meters high.
Henric is leading Lan En down the stairs.
The man who was handling the corpse of the lycanthropic patient stopped what he was doing.
"Henryk, have you brought a new friend?"
When Lan En walked in front of the man, he realized that the man's eyes were covered with gauze and he could not see anything at all.
“This is Lan En, the stranger I met on the road. He was so unlucky that he only arrived in Yanan at night, so I could only take him for a while. This is Gascoigne "
The first half of the sentence is to introduce Lan En to the man, and the second half of the sentence is to introduce the man to Lan En.
Gascoigne's voice was low and hoarse, sounding very oppressive. But contrary to his voice, he is a gentle guy when he speaks.
"S-indeed, it's the pure smell of a foreigner." He sniffed slightly, and then took the initiative to reach out to Lan En.
"It's just like me back then. It's not easy to arrive in Yanan for the first time, right? What's more, it's just at this time. Don't worry, you seem to be a good player. As long as you follow us and don't wander around, you will be hunted. The night is not that difficult.”
Gascoigne wore a tight-fitting suit jacket for easy movement, suit pants and leather shoes. His strength and ability can be seen from his silhouette.
The outer cover used to block the stinky blood is different from Henryk's hunter's coat. It is a black coat similar to a doctor's clothing and a thick shawl.
A white scarf with gold embroidery was wrapped around his neck. The embroidery on the scarf looked familiar to Lan En.
As the two shook hands, Mentos retrieved the database and provided Lan En with memory support.
"You are dressed like this. Gascoigne, are you a priest of the Healing Church?"
After Lan En spoke, Henrik and Gascoigne were obviously stunned. For a moment, but then they all shook their heads.
"I am a priest, I once was" Gascoigne said with some nostalgia, "But you are mistaken, the Healing Church does not have the role of a priest." After saying that, he asked Lan En curiously Why such speculation.
"You are dressed a bit like a cleric from the outside world, and the pattern on your scarf is something I have seen many times on the street and on the reliefs on door walls during the short journey to Yanan. Should it be the symbol of the Healing Church?”
Lan explained without any concealment.
The blindfolded Gascoigne smiled: "Yanan cured my disease. From the time I stayed, I am no longer a priest. As for this scarf? This is Wei Ola gave it to me. She is a devout member of the Healing Church."
Henric next to him interrupted to clarify the relationship for Lan En: "Viola is Gascoigne's wife, Yanan. Local people."
"Well, the introductions are over, we have to work on the hunting night, gentlemen, let's get going."
Since the round with Gascoigne, Lan felt that Henryk's mood was obviously much relaxed.
This is not a change that a ‘collaborator’ can bring to people. The relationship between the two of them should be very good.
The old hunter adjusted the three-cornered hat on his head, and Gascoigne also put on a domed wide-brimmed hat again.
In this day and age, it seems that not having a decent hat is ungentlemanly.
Hunters must wear their hats even if they are engaged in a bloody and fierce hunting night.
Of course, for an 'old antique' like Lan En who still wears armor from the previous era, others don't have so many requirements for him.
The three of them walked out amidst the creaking sound of the iron gate of the cemetery.
Gascoigne, who was holding the Hunter Transformation Axe, was at the front because the weapon was good at attacking and breaking.
Behind him, Henryk and Lan formed a small triangle formation with him.
Under normal circumstances, Lan En would probably think that one of them was thinking about the future and the other was thinking about the future.
"Lan En has no hunter weapons and no experience in fighting lycanthropy. Is that okay?"
After entering combat mode, Gascoigne's originally gentle tone became cold and serious.
Henric reassured him.
“Before he met me, he broke a leg and a hand of a highly lycanthropic patient with his bare hands, pressed his head and asked questions. Although this behavior was a bit silly, his skills were fine.”
After explaining to Gascoigne, Henrik turned to remind Lan.
"Now we have to go to work officially, Lan En. The difficulty is different from before. Before, we could only concentrate on the journey instead of eliminating the beasts."
Lan En didn't speak just now, because if Speaking may sound like bragging, but it is more trustworthy to let others introduce you.
After Gascoigne had no doubts, the young man patted the scabbard on his waist and showed a "don't worry" smile.
"I can be considered a person who has been through it all, don't worry."
So far, Lan En has only shown swordsmanship and physical skills in this city.
But if necessary, he could pull out another sword, as well as piles of alchemical products.
After the space expansion spell was added to the alchemical leather bag, he spent a lot of golden coins to fill the space of more than two cubic meters.
