The Middle Ages in Europe was a time when legends about vampires, demons, witches, werewolves, etc. were prevalent.
Likewise, there are many people who specialize in this kind of legend, so they are collectively called demon hunters.
Generally speaking, demon hunters can be roughly divided into several types. There are priests who carry the Bible, holy water, and crosses, there are knights who carry various demon-killing weapons, and of course there are also people like Ning Wantong who carry a dog called "demon hunting dog" but whose scientific name is "Husky".
After understanding his own identity, Ning Buwen just stared at Xiaoxin.
His appearance had changed. After all, it was the Middle Ages in Europe, so he couldn't possibly look Asian. Ning Buyen was about thirty years old now, and looked very smart and handsome, but there was a scar in the middle of his eye, which made him look a bit more bandit-like.
From a certain perspective, Xiaoxin has changed more than him. At least he has transformed from a Shiba Inu to a Husky.
Well, this is not a purebred Husky. It is probably mixed with something else to make Shin-chan look less stupid.
Then, Shin-chan's fur was trimmed, and some of the mottled parts were dyed black, making it look like a medium-sized, lean black dog.
However, Ning Buwen secretly felt that Shin-chan was no better than the Chinese native dog he turned into in the Feng Shui treasure cave. After all, he was a pure black dog that could ward off evil spirits at that time.
And now, Xiaoxin is a fake black dog with mixed hair.
According to the memory given by the copy, the original body picked up this dog in a winter and had always wanted to train it into a demon hunting dog, but unfortunately the results were minimal. At this time, demon hunters could receive subsidies and help from the church. The existence of a demon hunting dog could also apply for an additional subsidy, so he kept this dog by his side.
"Mr. Nicholas, may God bless you, you finally woke up." The priest of the church walked in with a sigh. Seeing that Ning Buwen was awake, he had a slight smile on his face, "That's great."
The priest of the church, he is considered a friend of the original Nicholas.
To be precise, he would take 20% of the subsidies received by his "friends" who applied for church subsidies.
Ning Buwen recalled the relationship between his original self and this priest and knew how to deal with it.
"Yes, thanks to you, you gave me false news, and I almost died there." Ning Bu Wen took out a small cigarette from his upper pocket, took a puff, then put it out and put it back.
Well, to be frank, my original self was just a liar who used the identity of a "demon hunter" to get a free meal. No, it should be said that he was a half-baked one.
If you really don't have any skills, you won't be able to get certification from the church, but you really don't have any abilities.
In this world, there are indeed inhuman species, and ordinary demon hunters always have some exorcism products. But unfortunately, players don't have them.
Players who enter the advanced personal dungeon want exorcism items? Oh, you can find them by yourself, the game does not support it.
"We agreed that I would give you half of the exorcism fee, but the lady of the manor you found for me actually has an evil spirit in her house?" Ning Buwen said with a fake smile, "Father Qiao Xi, shouldn't you say something?"
"Oh, forgive me, I don't know either." The smile on Father Qiao Xi's face froze, and after a while he said, "I really didn't find anything wrong with the mistress, so I recommended you to her. Who knew her manor would be like that? But don't worry, the evil spirit has been removed, and I will only take 10% of the money this time."
"You still want 10%?" Ning Buwen didn't have a penny on him now. "I'm injured and need to rest for a while. I have no income during this period. You have to give me all the money for the exorcism this time, and you have to give me three more silver coins. Look, my clothes and shoes are all broken."
"But your clothes and shoes weren't very good before." Qiao Xi didn't expect Ning Buwen to ask for such a high price. "Without me, you wouldn't be able to receive any customers at all."
"Go to hell." Ning Buwen jumped up from the bed, "Father Qiao Xi, I have died once, and now I know that all friendships are false, and only silver coins are eternal. If I don't have you, I can still go to other priests, but if you don't have me, no one else will help you exorcise the devil."
The original owner's memory clearly showed that exorcism items in this world could be purchased with money, especially pure silver, which could even have a certain lethality against non-human races.
In a high-level personal dungeon, using a prop card is equivalent to telling others that you are a player, which is tantamount to seeking death, so in the early stages of the dungeon, you must disguise yourself well. Of course, you also need to have as many exorcism items as possible.
What's more, he has an extra dog to raise.
"One silver coin is not enough." Father Josh realized that Nicholas was not as easy to deceive as before. He would feel safe only if there were demon hunters in his church. If Nicholas left and another demon hunter came, the priest would need to cooperate with the demon hunter to hunt down those non-human races. Sacrifice would be commonplace.
If Nicholas leaves and someone with real talent and knowledge comes, he will have to put his head on his belt.
"Deal." Ning Buwen didn't want to drain the other party in one go. He certainly couldn't become exactly the same as his original personality for a long time, so it would be better to change little by little.
The mission will take one year, and he has Xiaoxin with him, so there is no need to rush, and it is better to take it step by step.
After all, it’s the end of the year now. If you suddenly show any strange behavior, you will most likely be burned at the stake as a heretic.
Cast a long line and catch a big fish.
After successfully obtaining the fifteen silver coins that caused the original body's death and the one silver coin given by Father Josh, Ning Buwen took Xiao Xin to a nearby tavern.
In the Middle Ages when communication and information were not well developed, if you wanted to get some gossip, you had to go to a tavern like this.
Ning Buwen usually watches a lot of movies before the end of the world when he is free at home.
Following his original habit, he ordered wine and meat in the tavern. Ning Buwen then sat down quietly in a corner, listening to the people in the tavern bragging.
"Have you heard? A werewolf was found on the mountain in the next town two days ago."
"Ah, werewolf!"
"Then the Baron of the town invited several demon hunters to capture the werewolf. I heard that the werewolf was injured and is now locked up by the Baron. The Baron plans to give it to the Viscount."
"Why don't you kill him?"
"Yeah, yeah, I heard that werewolves can tear people apart with their bare hands!"
"You don't understand, nobles are all like this, they like to collect these weird things."
"Hey, what you said is boring. I have an interesting one here." A big man holding a wine glass said loudly, "Do you know? Bishop Isaac of Lambe City is said to be coming to our city with some holy knights."
"Are you sure you mean Bishop Isaac of Lambeth?"
"Haha, you're just bragging. Why would an archbishop come to a small town like ours?"
"That's right, there's nothing in our little town."
"What I said is true. My cousin's nephew's fiancée's sister is a nun in the church in Lambeth. The news is absolutely accurate."
"Well, even if what you said is true, why did the archbishop come to our place?"
"I don't know about that."
"Hey, you don't know such an important thing!"
"Come on, drink, drink!"
…
Ning Buwen took Xiao Xin to stay in the tavern for several hours. Only when these drunkards were almost ready to go home did he take Xiao Xin back to the original owner's home.
The original owner's house was a detached house, but it was quite small, with only two floors in total, and was only worth seven or eight silver coins in total.
Demon hunters will try their best to avoid living with ordinary people, and ordinary people will also be on guard against them because they think that demon hunters are likely to attract demons and naturally do not want to provoke them.
Ning Buwen took out a copy of "Demon Hunting Diary" that his original body had hidden.
This is the notebook of a real demon hunter. The original owner relied on some of the things in it to make a living. However, some important things were not mentioned in it, and Pandora would not give them.
In this world, identity is important.
High-level demon hunters are also respected in the church and can be employed by the church to get information about demons and obtain some useful items.
The requirement of the dungeon is to find a demon-related item to pass the level, but there is no mention of who this demon is, where it is, and what its related items are.
Therefore, this demon may appear in the later stage, or give the players some relevant clues for them to find by themselves.
Of course, it is possible that any demon item could be considered a pass, but this possibility can be basically ignored.
Considering that this is an advanced personal copy, Ning Buwen dare not be careless.
If he had not tricked Solomon and dragged him to fight against the mercenaries in the heinous copy, he would probably have died in that copy.
Therefore, it would not be too careful for him to be cautious this time.
As for the current situation, his status is too low, but he has a much better starting point than ordinary people. If he can work hard, he can become a powerful demon hunter. If what the sturdy man said is true, maybe he can even hook up with a bishop.
This requires careful planning.
In this copy, the power of the church is so strong, wouldn’t it be a shame not to make good use of it
I just wonder if other players are also demon hunters like him
There are about fifty players coming to this advanced dungeon, which can be said to be a very large dungeon.
There are quite a few bonus cards to open this advanced dungeon, and even more people know that there are good things in this dungeon. Especially in the Noah Legion and the Freedom Legion, there are more players in their legions who have obtained superhuman physiques like demons, vampires, and witches. Therefore, this dungeon that can improve personal physical abilities in a targeted manner is naturally very popular.
Of course, what is truly precious will always be a secret that only a few people can master.
Casso did not become a witcher, but he became a baron.
Yes, it was he who was the baron who caught the werewolf.
In the same place, different players will naturally be assigned different identities, but for the sake of fairness, they generally have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Although Ning Buwen is a demon hunter, he has no special skills and is just a half-baked one. Although Kaso is not a demon hunter, he has a title and a territory, so if he really wants to become a demon hunter, he also has the corresponding channels.
Casso didn't intend to give the captured werewolf to any viscount, but wanted to take the opportunity to offer the werewolf to Bishop Isaac when he arrived, and then obtain the method to become a witcher.
The church evaluates and subsidizes witchers, so naturally it knows how to become a witcher.
Casso was also trained as an ace rookie by the Free Legion, so he naturally had enough experience in how to pass the dungeon.
Different from the general players who appear before the end of the world and then enter Pandora.
Casso was born after the end of the world.
Since the speed of time flow in the copy and in reality is different, some unexpected situations may occur.
Ka Suo's mother entered a dungeon without knowing she was pregnant, but the flow rate of that dungeon was very slow. Ka Suo's mother raised Ka Suo in that dungeon until he was fifteen years old before he successfully passed the level. When Ka Suo left Pandora and returned to reality, he immediately received Pandora's box and became a player.
So, Casso grew up in the game since he was born, and he has a natural intuition about how to pass levels and complete game copies.
His personal abilities also tend towards this type.
After knowing of Casso's existence, the people of the Free Corps began to train him.
However, since Kasuo grew up in the dungeon world, he had to learn some common sense of modern society when he went through the dungeon. This resulted in Kasuo's low frequency of going through the dungeon, and his evaluation was not very high, so he did not make a name for himself on the newcomer list.
But the people of the Free Legion don’t care much about the rookie list, as long as Casso makes a splash on the global rankings.
The benefits brought by the global ranking list are incomparable to those of the rookie list.
When Cass entered this dungeon, he knew that there might be opponents in this dungeon that would give him a headache.
It is not known whether Ning Buwen from Pangu Legion will come, but Solomon from Noah Legion will definitely come.
Players who have participated in this dungeon cannot say too much to players who have not participated. If they say too much, it will affect the level assessment given by Pandora.
Currently, Kaso only knows that there is a very important inheritance in this copy, which is enough to allow the physical abilities of superhumans or messengers to evolve beyond recognition.
Therefore, it is very necessary to become a demon hunter.
And the upcoming archbishop might also be related to the demonic heritage in this copy.
Otherwise, how could such a small city attract an archbishop of the church
Solomon became an apprentice knight.
However, he was also a member of the Knights led by Bishop Isaac, but he was an apprentice knight who did odd jobs. His advantage was that he was a member of the church, but his disadvantage was that he could not get any useful information at all.
He could only work hard every day under the orders of the Knights Templar, whose personal rank was higher than his. In order to follow Bishop Isaac, he could not say no to other people's orders.
This copy can greatly improve his abilities, and I heard that the Freedom Legion has also sent people here, so the competition is fierce.
After being badly tricked by Ning Buyun, Solomon started to learn humbly and has become much calmer now. In the past, he would have been furious if he was ordered by these knights to do such dirty work, but now he can take it calmly.
A temporary failure is nothing.
Solomon said to himself secretly.
If he had the chance to meet Ning Buwen again, he would use absolute victory to demonstrate his strength.
Other players will not be mentioned for now.
Ning Buwen, who had been "recuperating" at home for several days, decided to take Xiaoxin out on this sunny day. Their destination was the haunted place where the lady of the manor who caused the death of the original body was.
Becoming a real demon hunter is the most critical problem Ning Buyen is facing now. Becoming a demon hunter is actually quite simple, all you need is agile skills and enough exorcism weapons.
The physical difference between humans and non-humans cannot be overcome through a little training. Those special weapons are the key to defeating non-humans.
If you want to possess these exorcism weapons, you must use these non-humans themselves to make them.
Only the nonhuman can defeat the nonhuman.
If Ning Bu Wen wanted to have enough exorcism weapons, he must first find the right materials to make them.
After much thought, the only place where supernatural events could really occur that he could come into contact with was the manor of the lady of the manor.
Ahem, although Father Qiao Xi and the lady of the manor said that the evil spirit had been expelled, it was better not to get close to it. The lady of the manor didn't need such a piece of land, so she put it aside. But in fact, the evil spirit was still there, just slightly injured, and not making much trouble.
We chose to come here in broad daylight because the evil spirits will be weaker during the day.
According to the original body's memory, the evil spirit on this land was a girl with an ordinary appearance. She was a very hardworking person in her lifetime. But in this era, hard work does not mean you can have enough to eat. She got married early and died of dystocia, but for some reason she became an evil spirit and was deeply obsessed with this land. Many supernatural incidents occurred, so the lady of the manor asked someone to subdue her.
According to Ning Buwen's estimation, it was most likely because something in this land turned this ordinary girl into an evil spirit.
Although the concepts of such supernatural stories are different in the East and the West, there are always some commonalities.
This girl is so ordinary, there are many people who are more pitiful and miserable than her, why is it that she is the one who became an evil spirit? And it seems that she has some abilities, otherwise she would not have caused the original body to die.
If there was no problem with her, then the only possibility was that there was something wrong with the land.
But Ning didn't ask and didn't dare to come and look for it right away.
Many people knew that he helped to exorcise evil spirits, and many people were watching him. If he came to this land to look for something right away, he would definitely be discovered, which would be troublesome. Therefore, Ning Buwen chose to rest at home for a few days, and only after making sure that no one was watching him anymore did he slowly take Xiaoxin out.
For things like finding things, it’s better to use a dog.
Ning Buwen took it for granted.
At least Xiaoxin has good luck.
Because of the evil spirits that had troubled the area before, almost all the farmers living near the land had moved away, making the land look very desolate.
However, early in the morning always makes people feel happy, so the evil spirit in this land has weakened a lot.
Ning Buwen was a little dumbfounded when he came to this land.
There is still a little difference between what is remembered and what is real.
For example, the size of the land.
This piece of land is at least three or four mu. If we turn it over one by one, how long will it take? And even if there is something buried in the land, it must be buried deep, and it is not easy to dig it out.
The most annoying thing is that this land is filled with all kinds of messy garbage.
Yes, garbage.
Farmers living nearby threw all the broken and unusable things and even some household garbage here.
The stench is terrible.
Under this kind of interference, it would be strange if Shin-chan could smell something.
Sure enough, Pandora would not allow anyone to take shortcuts.
I would rather not ask and just look up at the sky in silence.
"No, there must be a way." Ning Bu Wen looked at the large piece of land and felt that he was in urgent need of help, otherwise it would be impossible to find the things buried in this land in a short period of time.
And the key point is that he himself doesn't know whether there is really something under this land, and there is an evil spirit wandering around above this land!
What should I do
Ning Buwen looked at the land and pondered silently.
Since you can't do it yourself, you can only find someone who can do it to help you.
Ning Buwen wandered around here for a while and then took Xiaoxin back.
When he returned, he still stayed in the tavern, but this time he did not just stand there and watch, but joined them.
"Haha, Sam, give each of the brothers here a glass of wine. It's my treat." Ning Buwen drunkenly clapped out a few silver coins, as if he was already high and his mind was not quite clear.
"I'm rich, I'm rich!"
Ning Buwen laughed foolishly a few times and staggered into the drunks in the bar, "Hey, do you want to get rich? Come, I'll tell you."
"I discovered a big secret."
"What secret?"
"Hey, what secrets could he have?" another drunk laughed. "He's just a half-baked witch hunter, worse than a priest who sprinkles holy water and recites the Bible."
"Nonsense, nonsense!" Ning Bu Wen smashed the wine glass at the person who was speaking.
"what you do?"
It seemed that the two were about to clash.
But the onlookers not only did not stop them, but cheered with great interest, and looked forward to their having a big fight to add some fun and topics of conversation to their lives.
"I really discovered a secret!" Ning Buwen raised his voice, then fell drunk on the table again, "Hehe, the lady of the manor had a lover, and she hid the box of treasure given to her by her lover in that piece of land. I'm going to go find it. If I find it, I won't be a witcher anymore."
"Haha, you know all this?"
"How could she have any lover to give her gifts? She always gives gifts to her lover."
"Yes, she is the richest woman in our small town."
"But she is really stingy. Even if you sleep with her, she won't give you a penny."
"No, I'm not lying." Ning Buwen seemed to be drunk and unconscious, "She, her lover is... is..."
Ning didn't finish his words and fell into a deep sleep.
"There is only one baron in our city who can give the lady of the manor treasure."
"Yeah yeah."
"He doesn't look like he's lying."
"Wow, the lady of the manor is old enough to be the mother of the baron, and she can still eat this?"
"Maybe."
"After all, the lady of the manor is also a beauty."
…
The drunks were laughing.
But a few conscious people looked at each other and quietly slipped out of the tavern.
