Chapter 358 357. How long has it been?

The warlocks in the magical world do not have the sentiment and awareness to roll out technology on a large scale.

One of the most powerful warlocks in the world - the Elf Sage Ada Amin once said a widely circulated saying: I am powerful because I possess knowledge, not share it. .

So Lan En is not worried that Rita will have the intention to reverse the technology and then spread it out.

That simple and easy-to-understand woman will play with the musket with great interest for a few days when she first gets her hands on it, and then she will take this weapon that transcends the times and return to a luxurious and relaxed life.

In fact, Lan En is not worried that after the birth of firearms in the magical world, his physical strength will be reduced by an order of magnitude out of thin air.

Old-school demon hunters like Geralt and Vesemir may face this problem when facing firearms.

But he is different.

Star warriors are superhuman warriors created in the interstellar era.

The more advanced the combat environment, the greater their lethality will be.

Lan En just doesn't want races like tree elves and dwarves to be turned into 'scalp collections' by humans in the magical world.

After disarming the beast-turned-hunter, the young man was ready to return to Gascoigne's home.

There is a bit too much blood accumulated here, and the stench of lycanthropic blood can spread far away.

Lan En's current headache is how to deal with this smell.

Even after only staying in Yanan for such a short time, Lan En would not think that the 'smell of accumulated blood' was a harmless thing.

Even ordinary and natural beasts will consciously search for the smell of blood in nature to facilitate hunting.

In Yanan, who is so crazy about blood, and in this mountain town where lycanthropy has some unknown connection with blood, Lan En knows without even thinking that blood will definitely attract lycanthropy patients.

“Tsk.”

As Lan En cautiously evacuated outside the fountain square, he couldn’t help but slap his mouth.

Before the others came out completely, they could already hear the sound of animal claws scratching the concrete floor and the sound of wall masonry coming from the shadows of the alley opposite the square.

The beasts of Yharnam are as sensitive to blood as the Yharnam people, which is beyond imagination.

After withdrawing from the Fountain Square, Lan simply pulled the lever at the gate of the square.

Let a strong iron gate close with a squeaking sound, isolating the Fountain Square from the residential area.

There are many handles of this type of mechanism commonly used in city defense throughout Yanan.

This Victorian-style city integrated many defensive equipment from the castle era into the city because of the insecurity of its residents.

Lan returned to the door of Gascoigne's house and knocked on the door.

"Who? Who is it?"

Viola's nervous voice immediately sounded. It seemed that after he left, she kept guarding the door uneasily.

Lan En answered calmly and gently.

"It's me. I've finished handling the batch of patients just now, but the situation makes me a little worried. Let's talk about it after we go in."

He deliberately didn't speak so fast because he was worried that Viola wouldn't hear clearly if she was too nervous.

After confirming that the person knocking on the door was indeed Lan En, the sound of the lock turning was heard immediately from behind the thick wooden door.

Viola's relieved voice and the happy chirping of the little girls were also faintly visible.

It seems that the two little girls have been staying with their mother.

The door opened, and Lan En glanced at the fountain square again before entering.

Two patients who had turned into animals so badly that they were lying on all fours had already arrived there following the smell of blood.

They were like wild dogs at this time, licking the foul-smelling blood on the floor and wall tiles. It is not difficult to imagine how crazy they would become when encountering human blood, or blood of 'higher quality' as defined by the Healing Church.

Lan En first patted the heads of the two little girls to make them feel a little safer.

Ovelia and Victoria, although they have always been very sensible and do not cry or make trouble, Lan En does not think that they are really not afraid.

He was just a sensible supporter when his father was out and his mother was in a panic.

As for Viola, an adult, Lan En will not spend time on her psychological construction.

The current situation is far beyond what common sense can summarize, and adults must adapt.

“I just said that something is wrong, which makes me worried.”

Lan led Vio to the window, pulled out a gap in the curtains, and pointed at the fountain The location of the square.

"The smell of blood attracted more beasts. Although I can still kill this batch, I can't make them die without bleeding. This is not a difficulty at all. Does this happen on normal hunting nights? ? I obviously followed Henrik and Gascoigne and killed them casually, but this didn't happen."

La En's description made Viola hold her tightly. Ruby brooch, dry throat rolling.

"I, I don't understand either, I'm not a hunter. But I guess, could this be because too many people are sick tonight?"

Viola carefully gave Make a guess.

She pushed her brown hair behind her ears and pursed her lips.

"On normal hunting nights, the staff of the Healing Church will clean up the corpses in time, and the lycanthropic patients will not exceed the hunters' processing capabilities. Before they are attracted to the blood, they will be wandering and patrolling The hunter has finished hunting."

But tonight, everything happened too suddenly.

Whether the Healing Church urgently announced the start of the hunting night, or these lycanthropic patients suddenly broke out together, it was too fast and too intensive.

The hunting activities of hunters can effectively control lycanthropy when the number of cases is not serious yet. But if these cases come flooding back, there's only so much hunters can do.

“No matter what the reason is, the current situation is not good.”

Lan En spoke to Viola in a low voice. He didn't want the two children to hear this and panic.

“How much more incense does Gascoigne send back?”

After Lan En asked this, Viola looked inexplicably dazed for a moment, and then continued.

“There are five pieces of incense, and one piece is burning now. Huh? This piece has been more than half burned?”

“Why is it burning so fast? Ugh, it should be Gascon Because the quality of the incense he bought this time was not good, he left in a hurry.”

Is the quality bad?

Lan En narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched Viola counting the incense from behind.

He still clearly remembered that Viola told him that all of Yanan’s beast-repelling incense was produced by the Healing Church.

One piece is enough to burn all night.

How long has it been since nightfall?

As soon as this idea sprouted in his mind, Lan En once again felt that the scenery in front of him became blurred like water waves, and then returned to normal.

It was a feeling of detachment that lasted only a moment.

Wait, I can’t seem to tell how long it has been!

Lan En raised his head and looked up through the gap in the curtain.

Above the tall and sharp architectural outline of Yanan, a bright moon hanging in the sky is shining on its own.

The moon phase has not changed at all from when the night just fell
