Soul echo

Chapter 338
With someone sharing the task, the places to investigate were greatly reduced. Therefore, counting the back and forth, Zhong Ye only spent two hours, and he was able to investigate more carefully.

Because he went to the village farthest from the town, and when he returned to the town, the others had already returned.

In fact, they did not investigate anything, they just learned from the villagers that someone in the village was indeed missing.

It is said that they went out to look for food, and then did not come back all day, and no one passed on the news. The villagers believed that these people were missing.

And the last missing person was missing two days ago.

Such frequent disappearances must not be an accident, and thinking of those fleeing vampires, it is conceivable that those missing people may have encountered misfortune...

Not long after Zhong Ye returned to the town, the priests of Troyes also returned to the church and reported to the priest what they found out.

It's not that there aren't really no events happening in the town, it's that those events are being ignored or covered up!

In the slum, they found two bodies, the two dead people died two days ago and four days ago.

It was now about six days since Zhong Ye killed the vampires who were chasing after Cyril, that is to say, the day before they set off from the abandoned stronghold of the vampire clan to track them down, there were still vampires staying in the town.

While sighing for the two deceased, Zhong Ye's spirit got a little lift.

Although I don't know why the group of vampires didn't evacuate so late, it also means that the last group of vampires left them with quite a lot of clues.

The murder time of the two deceased was two days ago, and the clues must not have been covered by time!
"...something is wrong."

The two demon hunters, Mayer and Wade, frowned. They were demon hunters and had learned a lot about evil creatures. The current situation made them feel faintly uneasy.

"What's wrong?" Hearing Mayer's words, Lily Lieber turned her head to look.

The attention of Zhong Ye and Lilian was also attracted.

They borrowed a room in the church and sat around a table.

After exchanging the information he had collected, Mayer said what he just said.

Hearing the question, Mayer sighed: "Perhaps you don't know, the vampire clan will keep 'blood slaves' in captivity, that is, slaves specially used for them to suck blood. Usually, blood slaves need to take care of their lives and provide for them. Serving, and at the same time serving as their food, so the lifespan of blood slaves is often much shorter than that of ordinary people.

"According to the research of the Witch Union, if a blood slave can live to natural death, it will only have a lifespan of about 35 to [-], and this short lifespan can be hereditary.

"However, almost all blood slaves cannot live to a natural death. If enough blood is sucked by vampires, they will become anemic, which will lead to various complications. What is even more frightening is that vampires are not only sucking their blood, but also It is using blood to devour their souls, because the soul is incomplete, and the consumption has not been completely repaired, and it is sucked by the vampire again, so the lifespan of a blood slave is often only five to eight years..."

When Mayer was talking, countless thoughts surged in Zhong Ye's mind, and he quickly pieced together a guess.

"You mean, that vampire clan devoured all its blood slaves before fleeing, but on the way to escape, they will still attack others..."

Zhong Ye frowned slightly, and concluded: "The number of this vampire clan is beyond imagination?"

A vampire's 'food intake' is not large, they are not like humans, they need to eat every day, if they maintain a low level of exercise, they may only need to eat once in half a month.

But in order to kill people and replenish consumption as much as possible, the group of vampires will definitely suck the blood of all the blood slaves and devour their souls before escaping.

Although I don't know how many vampires there are, but judging from the current situation, there should be many!

Just as they were discussing their next move, there was a knock on the door.

After getting a response, a clergyman pushed the door and walked in. His face was quite ugly.

"Your Excellencies, the priest asked me to tell you that the investigation results of the lord's castle came out. It is true that vampires invaded the castle and killed two servants." The priest couldn't help taking a deep breath, "It was not until yesterday , they found out about it."

I discovered this incident yesterday, but I didn't inform the church about it... I don't know what the lord is thinking!
Zhong Ye exchanged glances with the two demon hunters. Sure enough, most nobles in this era are unreliable.

If he could have known about this matter one day earlier and passed the news on one day earlier, he might have caught one or two vampires by now!

After informing Zhong Ye and the others of this matter, the clergyman resigned and left.

Then, Zhong Ye and the others started a heated discussion.

"I think we should start early, before the group of vampires have escaped far enough and the traces left behind have not been covered up, and catch up with them as soon as possible."

When saying these words, Zhong Ye's eyes flashed fiercely.

Although he is usually quite gentle in dealing with people and things, Zhong Ye is not a nice person, or rather the opposite. His murderous intentions have always been very heavy, but he has always been very restrained, never showing his side to the common people. those he wants to protect.

Everyone but the witches seconded.

Early action is the best, even if the Luna Church in Troyes will inform the churches in other towns of the collected information, however, judging from the huge number of vampire clans that are faintly showing now, the local churches have nothing to do with it. Their power to fight.

If the local church hadn't found those vampires, they wouldn't have been targeted by vampires.

If the churches in those towns really found the whereabouts of some vampires, and even killed one or two vampires, they would very likely usher in an attack from those vampires.

——Not only for revenge, but also to cover up his whereabouts!
Anyway, vampires and priests are sworn enemies, and it is impossible for many churches to mobilize a large number of priests to search and encircle them.

As the so-called barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, vampires have nothing, and the priests are also tasked with guarding the town and guarding against the abyss.

It is precisely because of this that the demon hunters are needed, and Zhong Ye and the others are needed to act.

Moreover, others don't know, but Zhong Ye knows very well——

The information they exchanged here has been spread through Lilian's live broadcast, and many players have probably taken action.

This kind of "regional level" large-scale mission is something that players cannot come across.

Through this task, they can get a lot of soul debris, gold and reputation - the latter is crucial.

As long as they have enough reputation, it will be easier for them to obtain unknown information from the Adventurer's House and Church.

Even if professional players want to prepare for the game, what about the large number of guild players under the club?

Players are sure to get in on the action, so they'll be getting new clues soon.

Because of this, they need to act as soon as possible, otherwise, even if they get new clues, what is the use of these clues if they are far away from the group of vampires?

"If you don't want to go, you can stay here." Wade, who had been silent all this time, spoke suddenly.

His words made the witch froze, and then clenched her fists.

"Go and go!"

After Zhong Ye and the others tidied up, they went to the yard behind the church and took away their carriage.

The moment she saw the carriage, the witch's expression softened a bit, and she handed over her horse to Zhong Ye, making that horse also become a draft horse, and then squeezed into the carriage by herself, enjoying the heat from the stove comfortably.

Before leaving, Zhong Ye stopped the carriage in front of the church, apologized with the others, left the carriage, and walked into the church.

He found the priest of the Luna Church and handed over the money bag containing thirty gold coins to the priest.

"Please help me pass this money on to the families of the unfortunate victims."

After saying that, he ignored the priest's shout and turned to leave.

He walked quickly to the carriage, took the driver's seat, and drove away from the town.
