Qinlun City, periphery.
At this time, outside the original city wall, there was already a shack area like a refugee camp.
This is a certain settlement area spontaneously formed by the retreating northern demon hunters, their families, and subordinates.
The Holy Lance's victory last time and the headquarters' accumulated prestige over the years have already planted a deep-rooted consciousness in their minds.
Before the world is destroyed, the headquarters must be the safest.
People of all kinds poured in with their families, causing the entire Qinlun City to be overwhelmed.
Fortunately, the demon hunters are self-reliant people and quickly found a way to support themselves.
Are all the houses in the city full? No problem, just set up a tent outside the city.
As for filth and chaos
Sorry, in this era, most civilian areas basically look like this.
Even though the gathering of many demon hunters has brought great pressure to the local security, the strength of the crowd still makes the demon hunters feel a sense of security.
Unfortunately, in Fang Yuan's view, this sense of security is just like a soap bubble, which will burst with just a prick.
"In troubled times, only by relying on one's own strength can we truly ensure safety."
Fang Yuan held a scribbled map in his hand and squeezed into the city. After searching in a residential area for a long time, he finally found the address left by Jiao Ke.
"Although I know he is trying to save rent, but moving to such a remote place... "
He was speechless and stepped forward to knock on the door.
"Hulk! You're finally back."
The person who opened the door was Aunt Sophia. When she saw Fang Yuan, her eyes suddenly turned red.
"Something happened, why didn't you tell me?" This atmosphere immediately made Fang Yuan frown.
"What? Hulk, didn't you just come here after receiving the note we sent?"
Aunt Sofia patted her forehead.
"This damn communication speed, forget it...what happened."
Fang Yuan felt that he might have just missed it, but due to a subtle whim, he might have arrived a little earlier than they expected.
"It's Imoen, something happened to her!"
Aunt Sophia couldn't hide her sadness and brought Fang Yuan to a room: "Go and have a look."
Fang Yuan opened the door and the first thing he saw was Peter.
This kid has completely removed the restrictions on his right hand. At this time, he looks like a hungry wolf guarding his territory, and may pounce at any time to fight the intruder.
Of course, after seeing Fang Yuan, his expression finally softened.
"You didn't tell me that this kid is a monster!" Maria said angrily. It seemed that something unpleasant must have happened between her and Peter: "If dad hadn't told me to say it, I would have just gone out and shouted. , countless demon hunters will chop him into pieces, hum!"
Unfortunately, Peter didn't even frown at her threat, he just looked at the woman lying on the bed.
"Imoen..."
Fang Yuan took a step forward.
I saw this young and cheerful female thief, who had fallen into a deep coma. Her brows were furrowed and her breathing was rapid. She looked like something was going wrong.
"Uncle Jock has gone out to find a doctor."
Peter stared at Fang Yuan and said slowly.
"Why did she become like this?" Fang Yuan's eyes glowed with golden light, his expression a little strange.
This Imoen doesn't seem to have been hit by some vicious trick, but more like... bloodline awakening
Although she has demon blood in her body, it has always been hidden, but now, she suddenly started to activate it when she encountered some stimulus.
For the average person, this is both a good and a bad thing.
Once you can survive it, you will become a true magician blood descendant, and your strength will be greatly increased.
Of course, the activation of bloodline is also a dangerous process, and it is also accompanied by the invasion of chaotic will. If Imoen cannot survive it, he may even degenerate into a monster!
"It's just... Even I have the confidence to stimulate the blood in her body now. How could this situation suddenly happen?"
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and looked at Peter: "Before her accident, did anything unusual happen to her? For example, did she come into contact with any strange items or people?"
"have!"
Peter thought for a while and said softly: "My sister met a man with purple eyes at the market. She seemed to be very scared. She developed a high fever when she came back..."
"A man with purple eyes?"
Fang Yuan glanced at Peter and saw that he was also excited when he mentioned the other party, and he couldn't help but feel confident in his heart.
Even among the Dark Night Familia, there are not many beings who can make even a Voodoo Corpse feel frightened and possess natural coercion.
"The demonization has begun. At this time, it is not a question of whether I want to experiment on her, but if I don't carry out the experiment, there is a half chance that Imoen will become a monster! And, what's even more troublesome is that this is Qinlun, not far away This is the Holy Mountain!"
He stepped forward and lifted a little of the sheet.
Immediately, purple patterns were seen on the skin at the bottom of Imon's neck.
A subtle demonic aura has slowly spread, becoming more and more intense.
"It must be transferred immediately. No matter the next experiment or her corruption, the terrifying demonic aura will be released... I don't want to be the enemy of the entire demon hunter!"
Fang Yuan came to a serious conclusion.
Immediately, Jock broke in: "Hulk... you are back? I asked some doctors to come over!"
"Thanks, but she doesn't need it right now."
Fang Yuan closed the door politely, not even letting the other party go in to take a look.
After all, a doctor who often deals with witchers may also be a former witcher. If he goes in and discovers something strange about Imoen and Peter, haha... Would that be a silence? Or silence
"Prepare a carriage for me. I'm going to take them out of here."
Fang Yuan said in a tone that could not be refused.
"Okay... okay."
Once he showed a serious expression, even Jock did not refute, but complied obediently.
Fang Yuan returned to the house and glanced at Aimeng: "She will be fine, I promise you. Also, put your seal on. Do you want to be surrounded by a group of demon hunters?"
"Will she... become like me?"
Peter glanced at his right hand. At this time, there were suction cups emerging from it, with a strange and terrifying feeling.
"That's just the worst case scenario!"
Fang Yuan told the truth: "I am confident that she can control the power in her body while retaining her human identity."
"Thank you, sir!"
Peter was silent for a moment, and then began to put the metal shackles on his right hand one by one.
"Put it on, it was originally prepared for you."
Fang Yuan threw out two armbands: "I call them 'rings of concealment'. They are low-level magic weapons. Their only function is to cover up the dark aura on you. Unless you are face to face with a titled demon hunter, you should not be able to do it." Seen through.”
After getting ready, he stepped forward, picked up Imoen, and got into a carriage with Peter.
"Get as far away from here as possible."
Following Fang Yuan's command, the carriage immediately started moving and left Qinlun City without incident.
"Um?"
The process went so smoothly that Fang Yuan was a little surprised.
"Didn't the devil inspire her bloodline to cause chaos? A devil with good intentions?"
He had an inexplicable premonition.
The being who activated the bloodline in Imoen's body will definitely come back.
However, it may not be malicious.
…
After the carriage left the city, Fang Yuan threw out a money bag, drove away the grateful coachman, and drove the carriage onto a small road.
After walking for a while, a farmhouse appeared in front of us.
However, the farm was completely silent. The farmers who were plowing the land, the working women, and even the children who were playing all disappeared. Only a few wild dogs wandered around the village, and various poultry roamed the streets without restraint.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan sighed.
When the demons besieged the Holy Mountain, they recruited a lot of cannon fodder from nearby areas.
Although there is still hope of recovery after being hit by a mind spell, what if he has been killed or burned to ashes
This is the sadness of being a commoner in troubled times.
Even if you don't care about the world, disaster will befall you one day.
However, Fang Yuan only sighed with emotion, and immediately found a farmhouse, moved Aimeng into it, and began to set up the alchemy circle.
Because he had an ulterior motive for going down the mountain before, these materials were fully prepared, which made Peter next to him startled.
"Anyway, the demonic bloodline in her body has been activated, so there is no need to obtain demonic materials. If she does not become a demon hunter, she may even degenerate into a monster!"
Fang Yuan put on gloves for himself and immediately took out a huge syringe: "Peter, do you want to save your sister? If you want, let me draw as much blood as possible."
This kid not only has amazing willpower, but the most important thing is the alcohol produced in his body, which is the best blood vessel inhibitor.
Otherwise, even if he has superhuman will, he will not be able to restrain the Voodoo Corpse in his right hand, and there is even a tendency to turn it into his own weapon.
"bring it on!"
Little Pete was very brave. Even when he saw his blood being drained away by large tubes, he did not change his color at all.
On the contrary, the changes in Aimeng's body finally stabilized slightly after injecting a large amount of emergency purified alcohol.
"With her will, she still cannot defeat chaos after all!"
But Fang Yuan saw the clues.
If he hadn't stopped her in time, this female thief might have turned into a monster.
Even though she was suppressed at this time, a little scale appeared on her cheek, and there were even two more bumps on her forehead.
"Demonization?"
Fang Yuan smiled, drew a precise ritual on the ground, and poured mithril and various materials into it.
After two hourglasses, a complex magic circle emerged, shining with mysterious light.
"Although there is no way to recreate the ancient rituals, there should be no problem with the one I formed with the help of black magic!"
Fang Yuan cheered himself up and his energy suddenly lifted: "It's begun!"
