"Drive me away? I think you want to kill me more." Zheng Yichen glanced at the broken wooden gun on the ground and felt a little unhappy. If a murder occurred in a small town, would he be extremely suspicious of outsiders? This...well, there doesn't seem to be any problem with this?
Especially in a place that seems 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's no need for compensation. I'll 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. Zheng Yichen mainly understood 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 problems were solved by the mayor one by one. answered.
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 witcher?"
"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 it's 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 alien demon hunter with unknown origins. He is from out of town, so he doesn’t know much about the situation here. The kind of painting on his body Feng's clothes were different from theirs. In his opinion, since he was a demon hunter, it was normal.
That kind of clothing 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 all questions, and Zheng Yichen also learned more about the situation in the 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 the abnormal creatures, they are not very frequent. appeared.
For many people, such abnormal creatures only exist in stories, but they do exist. When he was young, the mayor here saw the scene of monks from the church exorcising evil spirits.
He had actually seen it, but most people in the town had never seen any unusual creatures.
After getting 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 type and long-range. The 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 these things will only hide in the cemetery. They are relatively cruel, but as long as there are many people, they can actually be killed.
Zheng Yichen encountered dozens of corpses in the abandoned cemetery. They couldn't be said to be ghouls, they could only be said to be zombies... Although those things were scary, ignoring pain and fearless of death, they had weak bones and rotten flesh and had no defense. , muster up the courage, a standard adult can knock over several people with a stick.
There shouldn't be any magic in this world that can destroy a town at any given moment.
The mayor said that he had only seen vampires, witches and the like in some books and knew very little about them. There were no weapons like muskets in this town. Zheng Yichen didn't know if there were weapons like crossbows.
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 meet face-to-face or see that kind of 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. It is a rare thing among ordinary people, and it is recorded in it. Information about many abnormal creatures...oh, evil creatures here.
It's 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. Zheng Yichen met him at the abandoned cemetery. It's things like 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 are like those in this world who are afraid of silver and are afraid of silver. They are traditional vampires. They are not like those in many anime works on earth. As vampires, they are not very embarrassed to go out because of their traditional vampire weaknesses.
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.
The 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 a little bit natural, don't you think? ?
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, specially drawn to be so ugly. As a time traveler, when it comes to mentioning the word church... When I wake up, 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.
