The Demon Hunter

Two months later, they officially embarked on the road to Darkan. When there was still a day to go, a ghoul suddenly appeared in the bushes by the side of the road. They killed it, but that thing really stinks Die!It is hard to believe that it is not an undead, nor a demon, but a real species of the earth world.And everyone had to stop at noon to find a place to camp, with the stench like falling into a cesspit, but they couldn't hurry.

"Hey, just to remind you, something is wrong." When everyone was trying to scrub themselves in the creek, Ansel said while doing the same thing, "Most ghouls only eat carrion and like to lie down at night. They come out at night, and unless they gather in groups, these things will not take the initiative to attack humans—of course, most evil creatures that are not powerful have this habit. But today, there is one on the side of the road where people come and go, yes We launched an attack, which is clearly unjustified."

"What do you think happened to Dar'Khan?"

"Maybe, maybe not." Ansel said deeply for a moment, "By the way, there is one more thing I have forgotten before, that is, how much do you know about Darkan?"

"I remember you said that it was an empire, and it should be a very large country?" In this era, books about National Geographic and the like cannot be obtained in ordinary bookstores, and some of them are even classified as military secrets. It can only be seen in the study rooms of those prominent nobles, or in the royal library.So until now, Cologne doesn't even know how big this continent is, or how many countries there are.

"What about you?" Ansel asked the other two people, Lance shook his head, Evan... If you read correctly, the little guy blushed a little, "It seems that someone still knows, then Evan, help these two Guys, please explain, so as not to cause any misunderstanding between the two of them." Ansel whistled and went to wash his own, leaving only Evan, whose face was getting redder and redder.

No matter how embarrassing the innocent little pastor was, he finally said it truthfully, if Cologne and Lance didn't know anything, it would be easy to cause trouble.After all, Darkan is a "country where only two men can legally marry".

"Ah?" Lance was still indifferent to this, while Cologne showed an embarrassing face, and then he couldn't help but think of some novels written by girls on earth that he spied out of curiosity, " Can men in Dar'Khan bear children?"

"Pfft! Hahahaha!" Although he avoided it, Ansel, who had been eavesdropping, held his stomach and laughed loudly.

"No, how can a man have children?" Evan immediately shook his head and denied, "It's just that people in that country firmly believe that only desires and emotions that are not produced by reproduction are the purest and flawless."

"..." It is obviously incorrect to think that homosexuality is a devil, a pervert, a neuropathy, and has no contribution to the world, but like Darkan, is it an overkill? "Being with a woman is just to have children? Although some people do think so, but... not everyone is like this? Besides, continuation of offspring is also necessary, what should they do?"

"Darkan's social system is very strange." Evan rubbed his forehead, "Darkan was only a small village at first, and their way of doing things was ridiculed by many people at that time. At first, everyone thought they would perish, but they It is now an empire, and one of the great powers on the continent."

After starting this way, Evan began to explain what Dar'Khan was like.

In Darkan, unless they are demented, as long as they are men, even if they are disabled, they will be forced to wean and leave their mothers after they reach the age of one. They are brought up by special personnel in school and learn words, poetry, and painting. , arithmetic, smelting, and war.Then these kids graduate and have different careers depending on their grades and preferences—they spend their whole lives without knowing who their father is or who their mother is.

The girls, on the other hand, grew up with their mothers. They did not have the opportunity to study systematically. Basically, they could do whatever their mothers knew, but women never engaged in war-related occupations.Then one day when the girl grows up and she feels that she wants a child too, she will find a man who is pleasing to the eye.

"Didn't you say that men can only marry men? They sleep with women too?"

"The Darkan people's concept of loyalty to marriage is not the same as that of other people. They will indeed remain loyal to their partners after entering into marriage, but only for men. For women, they think it is not cheating, but fulfilling the obligation of procreation. Even I heard that the temple over there will hold a fertility celebration every year, and most of the women of the right age will participate, while some young, handsome, and healthy gentlemen are forced to attend..."

"No need to explain, I understand." It was a promiscuous meeting, and Cologne's face turned blue. It seems that a country where men can legally marry is not necessarily a paradise for gays.Anyway, he would never live in this place.

"And Darkan is a slavery country, you have to be careful not to do something self-righteous to other people's slaves. Of course, I will also be careful." Evan smiled bitterly, knowing that he was the one who was most likely to soften his heart. "Also, don't accept women's handkerchiefs and men's gloves."

"Can't duel?"

"No, here, handkerchiefs and gloves mean the same thing." That is, they are all courtship...

Speaking of this, Ansel, Cologne, and Lance suddenly changed their expressions at the same time, and rushed out of the water at the same time, regardless of their clothes, they ran towards their weapons. Looking at their movements, Evan realized that there was something wrong with them. Something was wrong, but as a clergyman he couldn't be as quick and nimble as his companions.Therefore, when he climbed up from the water, his two feet wearing iron boots had already stepped in front of them.

——This is a knight wearing a heavy iron armor, but what kind of knight would go into the forest wearing such a heavy thing?And what kind of knight can wear such a bulky thing, but let them detect each other when they are so close?

"I thought the stench was a ghoul, but it turned out to be four stinky men." Even though the mask distorted the voice, the "four stinky men" could clearly recognize that it was a female voice.

So except for Lance, the other three stinky men pulled out something from the pile of clothes as quickly as possible, and wrapped them around their lower body.

"Hahaha." The female knight smiled and took off her helmet. She has red hair and green eyes. She is as beautiful as a flame. "How are you? My name is Lucy. So, you are going to Darkan. "

"Yes." Ansel couldn't figure out the purpose of this girl's visit, and even couldn't figure out whether she was an enemy or a friend.

"Oh~" Lucy looked at them playfully, making Lance feel a little hairy, and then she finally said, "I think you guys are pleasing to the eye, so I decided to join."

"..." It sounded like they had issued an invitation to her, "Miss Lucy, I think you know that we are not going to Darkan for fun, but to..."

"The tomb of the Vampire Emperor, isn't it?" Lucy shrugged. "I think I was discovered by you at such a close distance that you had to be naked to prepare for the battle. Or..." Lu Xi drew her sword, "Don't tell me what you're trying to say is 'I can't be distracted by women'."

It seems that this girl is a feminist, and a very strong feminist at that.

"No, what I'm saying is, we can't give our backs or our shoulders to a complete stranger."

"That's quite correct." A smile returned to Lucy's face. She withdrew her sword and smiled with her hands on her hips. "You don't have to worry about me stabbing you in the back. Do you have a letter of introduction? All I want is to borrow that Become a member of the tomb-clearing team, and after entering, we will go our separate ways. Of course, as a thank you, you can buy the things I get first, and I will give you a [-]% discount."

Ansel thought for a while and nodded, and finally nodded. They shook hands, and it was a simple agreement.

So then Lucy led her horse to their small camp. She still didn't take off the armor that looked extremely heavy, but no one asked much, after all, they were just temporary collaborators.

In the early morning of the next day, the five of them set out on the road, safe and even a little deserted, until they saw the wall of the Darkan border fortress.Even if Cologne was a traveler who had just arrived in this world not long ago, he could still see that the fortress was heavily guarded, and he didn't pay much attention to it at first.After all, this country is about to start clearing a tomb - Cologne has added a lot of knowledge about this recently, and knows that tombs are very dangerous things. The most appropriate description is those world-class dungeons in online games, which require at least It can only be solved by the joint efforts of several big guilds, but this is the real world. If you fail, you cannot be resurrected, and then come out to start over again. A failure means the overthrow of a country, and it may even cause those evil forces to rise again.

But soon they felt that something was wrong, the atmosphere in the city was weird, the hotel was full of businessmen, not just arrived, but leaving, but all the checkpoints in Darkan have been closed, no entry allowed!So they could only stay here, and the demon hunters only stayed in the hotel for less than two hours, when soldiers came knocking on the door and stuffed them into Darkan without saying a word. Capital carriages.And there was already a man waiting for them in that car: "Please forgive our rudeness, respected demon hunters, it's just that something happened, and we need your help as soon as possible."

"Yes, help~" Ansel shrugged, "It's really a good word, but whether 'help' should be consensual, not one of the parties is still confused."

"Of course, I hope you can help us find and bring back a death knight."

"Find it and bring it back?"

"Yes, that means he's still alive. Of course, he's dead in some sense, but..."

"Yes, no need to explain, we understand what you mean. But why are you looking for such a thing, and why do you want our help? We are not here to find some death knights, but to clear the tomb."

"About this point, please let me explain from the beginning." The man said with a wry smile.
