Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 373 372. Blood of the Ancient God

"I agree that as experience grows stronger through exchanges, our technology will become more advanced."

Lan nodded towards Alfred.

The blond hunter became even more enthusiastic after receiving the recognition.

He took out a stack of red matte paper from his pocket and forced it into Lan En's hand.

"Great, great! Take it and use it to celebrate our acquaintance!"

Lan En pinched the sandpaper a little at a loss. In Yanan, where people are generally indifferent and exclusive, this person seems too friendly to be used.

"Definitely worth celebrating but what is this?"

"Ah, I forgot that you are a novice." Alfred patted his head and said apologetically.

"This is fire paper, a gadget produced by the church's hunter workshop. Rub this matte paper against the weapon, and the surface of the weapon will begin to burn with flames. The duration of one sheet is about half a minute, and it will not Damage the weapon. After all, when hunting wild beasts, you should use fire."

Lan En looked at the fire paper in his hand with curiosity. This technology is indeed very convenient for warriors.

Humans in the magical world have various weapon enchantments, and the burning effect is not without them.

It's even better than the fire paper here in Bia Nan, which can make the enemy hit spontaneously catch fire, instead of relying on the flames on his own blade to cause a few burns.

But there are also problems with enchantments in the wizarding world - enchantments there are about triggering.

After installing the magic runes, not every hit can trigger the enchantment effect.

There once was an unlucky noble knight who customized a warhammer with extra impact at Ban Ade Academy. As a result, the magic runes kept flashing during the battle, but the impact effect was not triggered even once.

I asked the college for a refund, but they wouldn't accept it. After all, when others use it, it will be effective at least once out of three times. You cannot say that the craftsmanship of the academy is adulterated.

This is because people can't do it, not because hammers can't do it. There is no reason for compensation or return.

Fire paper can stably output fire damage, and can be used immediately after wiping, which seems very convenient.

It is expected that the cost should be much cheaper than rune enchantment.

"Thank you, this is a great gift."

Lan En stuffed the fire paper into the alchemy leather bag on his waist and thanked Alfred.

"By the way, do you know about the clergymen wandering around? They all seem a little... not very friendly?"

"'Unfriendly'? Haha, you said it tactfully."

The blond hunter smiled nonchalantly.

"Those are Sumeru people who were brought out of the dungeon labyrinth by the church a long time ago. The church cured their diseases and brought them back to the surface. In return, they became the gatekeepers of the church."

"Believe me, Lan En. Even if you come in from outside the church town wearing church clothes now, they will carry out the orders of the church agents to the letter and drive you away to death."

A lot of intelligence information popped up in one breath, and Lan En commissioned Mentos to record and analyze it in his mind.

"Agent of the Church? Who is that? And the dungeon maze?"

The witcher stood in a chatting manner. It was not easy to find someone in Yanan who knew a lot and was willing to talk.

Alfred fit Lan En's impression of him very well, he was enthusiastic and cheerful.

"Of course, of course. People who have just come to Yanan will inevitably be curious about everything. Of course I can explain it to you. The night is still long anyway."

"The church agent is Ms. Amelia. Since the death of Bishop Lawrence, his students have been the church agents. She also issued the order to close the church town tonight."

"She is so weak that she actually asked the church's hunters to hide from wild beasts. What kind of thing is this?"

Alfred made no secret of his dissatisfaction, as well as his certain belief and persistence in the profession of hunter.

"As for the dungeon labyrinth? Ah, you will definitely go there once in your future career as a hunter, at least once. Hunters should always go there to find their own [Holy Communion]."

"Receive the blood and flesh of the ancient gods! This act is the foundation of the healing church."

[Holy Communion], Lan En has heard of this religious concept.

The blood of the object of faith is likened to red wine, and the meat is likened to bread.

Eating red wine and bread is equivalent to receiving blessings and love from the object of faith.

But in Yanan, the concept of [Holy Communion] is obviously different from Lan En's mind.

At least when it comes to [blood], Lan En feels that they will definitely use real blood.

But 'blood and flesh of the ancient gods'?

‘Ancient God’? !

The witcher keenly grasped the key information of concern in the sentence.

"Alfred, did you just say that the ancient gods? The Healing Church possesses the flesh and blood of the ancient gods?"

"That's it." The blond hunter said matter-of-factly about the flesh and blood of the god. "Since the blood of Yanan is the blood of the ancient gods, the basis of blood therapy is to make the blood quality of the blood saints close to the gods through training, and then share it with everyone."

"Human beings are small and shallow. Only through the blood of the ancient gods can their existence be close to the gods."

“The Healing Church’s ultimate pursuit is not healing, but getting close to, and even becoming, a god.”

"These things are not secret. Instead, they exist in the church's mottos. It's just that the ordinary people outside are too addicted to blood and don't care about the 'useless' mottos."

At this point, Lan En is completely sure that the source of lycanthropy is blood therapy.

If you look at it from a different perspective, the Healing Church is a dark organization that uses religious means to explore the enhancement of the human body.

Moreover, they have also rolled out rough and potentially dangerous human body enhancement technology on a large scale! In the name of religion!

Direct blood transfusion Even in the oldest science fiction novel "Frankenstein", there is no such crude human body modification technique!

The purpose of Healing Church's promotion of blood therapy is not to cure diseases and save lives, but to obtain more cases and more experimental data!

Medical treatment, for them, is not a means of treatment, but a means of exploration.

There is nothing more intuitive about the knowledge of the blood of gods than the phenomena in the cases.

Lan En looked at the enthusiastic blond hunter in front of him.

He wears the church's hunter garb and wields weapons for the Healing Church. But his body was also mixed with blood that was not his own.

Moreover, he believed in it wholeheartedly and fought endlessly.

Healing Church researchers not only study large numbers of ordinary people, but also their own elite hunters.

Lan En once felt murderous intent for a moment, but immediately after he realized that the church hunter in front of him was also a member of the experimental subjects, his murderous intent disappeared.

Alfred only felt an inexplicable coldness on his neck, and then everything became normal. He thought it was a wisp of cold, moist air that had entered his collar.

"How could God let humans take away his own flesh and blood? That's God."

Lan En lowered his eyes, and his scattered silver hair exuded a soft light in the moonlight.

Alfred turned his face to the side unnaturally, cleared his throat before continuing.

"Hmm. Even the gods cannot defeat time. The church discovered the corpse of the ancient god in the dungeon maze. That was also the beginning of people's confirmation of the existence of the ancient god."

"Yes, time." Lan En looked up, looked at the moon phase that seemed to never change, and nodded.

"The ancient gods are no match for time. Well, that's right. It makes sense."
