Chapter 43 Ravens in the Shadows! [1500 monthly ticket plus update]

Lund.Hearth Tavern.

This tavern is located on the southeast side of the old town. Although the decoration is rather dilapidated, there are quite a few people who come to drink.

Two men dressed as witch hunters were sitting in a corner, discussing a business in a low voice at this time, and there was a circle around them, and almost no ordinary people dared to sit beside them.

The business these two witch hunters discuss is about an out-of-town businessman with modest means.

This businessman has a beautiful daughter, and they are planning how to arrange for her to be a witch. As long as there is some evidence to prove that she may be a 'witch', the two of them can make a fortune.

Normally, ordinary people would know that money should be used to solve this kind of thing, as long as they were smart enough.

Even if there are old stubborns who don't want to take out the money, they can take that girl away and lock her up for a few days. As for what will happen in the dark dungeon these few days, no one will know.

In most cases, these people who are blackmailed by witch hunters try to settle with money.

Secularism and the church have given witch hunters the power to arrest them, but this power has not been strictly restricted. Many people join the ranks of witch hunters because of their profits. A little evidence can lock people up, and even if they are rescued, they will be tortured. Many girls committed suicide in this way.

In recent years, many beautiful girls have fled to the southern islands, because there is the belief area of ​​the goddess Freya, and the church that serves her is different from the eternal flame, they will protect women and children.

This goddess is the oldest belief in this world.

Religious symbols are virgins, pregnant women, and old women. Her priests master certain spells, but are more proficient in herbalism. They have a good relationship with druids and will protect those women who are persecuted. , love, childbirth, etc. all bring some, but it is mainly for women. Many midwives learn the knowledge from her priests.

The goddess' church has a tense relationship with the Eternal Flame, and often protects girls who are persecuted by witch hunters.

Ten minutes later.

The two witch hunters had already quietly discussed the plan of framing them tomorrow, and they walked out slightly drunk, shoulder to shoulder, and turned directly into a small alley.

"Would you like to have fun tonight? There are a group of girls from the north at the port." A witch hunter unbuttoned his belt and said with a mouthful of alcohol, "I heard they are very enthusiastic!"

"Really? Then you can go and see it." Another witch hunter laughed.

Urinating and urinating everywhere is very common in this era, especially in the old city where such poor people live.

Tapping.

At this moment, a man in a gray-black cloak also came out of the tavern. He put his hands on the waistband of his trousers as he walked, and seemed to be planning to take a pee nearby.

"Get out of the way, country bumpkin!" The witch hunter next to her cursed unceremoniously.

A cold light passed by.

The moment the two witch hunters realized that something was wrong, the man suddenly swung the dagger at his waist, and with a clean blow, blood spurted out, and the throats of the two witch hunters in front of him were cut at the same time.

bang bang.

One of Fan Texin's faces was exposed to the moonlight. He swung his dagger and stabbed the witch hunters at the kidneys, holding their heads down until their bodies gradually stopped convulsing.

"Cough! Bah!"

A mouthful of thick phlegm fell on the corpse of the witch hunter.

Fan Texin thought for a while, kicked the two corpses with a bit of disgust, then turned them over and reached out to grope them.

He took out two money bags.

"It doesn't look like you guys are quite rich." Fan Texin reached out and weighed the money bag, then turned and left the alley.

Under the cover of night.

Van Tessin left the city alone, riding a horse straight in the direction of Cologne.

Before leaving, he released a black crow.

Vicardo.Xionggu Town.

This is a not-so-rich town, with a population of just over 1000, because there are many ferocious beasts in the vicinity, and there are not many merchants passing by.

In front of the town is a small blacksmith's shop.

Its owner is an unusually strong and tall man, as strong as a brown bear. He has gray hair, has a bad temper, and doesn't like to deal with people. He just sits at the door smoking a daze every day, and occasionally picks up a heavy subway hammer to beat Come out with a few kitchen knives.

This man named Lev has been living here for nearly five years.

Usually, he doesn't like to get along with people, so no one will come to disturb him, and no one will cause trouble. You must know that when he first came here, he killed a black bear with his bare hands.

In the past, there would be widowed women in the village who fell in love with him, wondering if the two of them could get along together.

But the old guy always refused violently every time, and in the end, no one mentioned this matter anymore.He looks about 40 years old, has no children, lives alone in the blacksmith shop, and seems a bit out of place with the whole town. In the eyes of others, he is a strange person.

bang.

Today, the old man is still sitting in front of the blacksmith shop and smoking his own tobacco. He has a little friendship with some dwarves and often gets a little tobacco from the dwarves.

Occasionally someone would pass by, but no one would bother him.

Because this is a very strange person, sometimes he can stay alone for a whole day in a daze.

It's getting dark.

Just when Lev was about to pack up his things and close the door, suddenly a cold light pierced his chest. At this moment of life and death, the old man avoided it with agility that he shouldn't have, and then instantly swung a heavy hammer to hit him. past.

Bang!

A thin figure in the darkness rolled back and pulled away a little distance. When the other party rushed forward like an angry brown bear, he coughed and said in a hoarse voice: "Long time no see, old guy."

"I thought you couldn't carry a weapon anymore."

Lev stopped in his footsteps, picked up a heavy hammer and tapped the iron felt, and said in a deep voice, "Why did you come to me, a poisonous snake?"

In the dim light of the fire.

There was a hideous face with scars in front of him. He couldn't tell his age. He was wearing a blindfold, and he seemed to be blind in one eye. His body was very thin, and his chest seemed to have suffered a serious injury. A little short of breath, and occasionally coughing, he showed an ugly grinning smile, and said hoarsely: "The old crow has moved!"

A sealed letter was thrown over.

Lev caught it casually, glanced at it through the firelight, his breathing became short of breath, then he turned his head to look at the hideous man in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "What? You poisonous snakes can't take it anymore?"

"Jie Jie." The skinny man seemed to have been severely tortured before, his vocal cords must have been injured, his laughter was harsh, and he said hoarsely: "Did you forget the blood that the Xiong School shed back then?"

"Or."

"Like those cowards, you have completely lost your fighting spirit."
