Chapter 1292 1264. The sense of oppression in the master-disciple relationship

There was nothing Lan could do to relieve the pain of these patients, even though he wanted to.

But the various weirdnesses of gray blood disease and Yanan himself left him helpless against the wails and cries of these patients.

Under Lan En's observation, it seems that the pain of these patients is not purely physical, and can be solved by taking painkillers or hallucinogens.

If the problem can be solved so easily, then the clergy in the research hall definitely don't want to call in hunters to assist them in their work.

Especially an elite hunter like Maria.

"Ms. Maria?" Adeline, who was helping to move things in the research hall, took the time to talk to Lan next to her. "The senior clergy must be more polite to her than to you. Don't worry about it."

The Blood Saint said with an enthusiastic smile.

"Although they are all ordinary hunters outside the direct jurisdiction of the church, Ms. Maria's teacher is the [first hunter] Geman!"

"Even if you don't look at Ms. Maria's outstanding performance and elegant temperament, just because of this relationship, everyone will be more polite to her. Although she may not care at all."

Adeline also seemed to be complaining a bit at the end.

But after greeting the clergyman who was moving things in front, the enthusiastic Blood Saint quickly nodded to Lan En and followed him at a trot.

But Lan En, who got the news from this chat, just lowered his head and chewed a name.

[The First Hunter] Geman?

The demon hunter has never heard of this name, and has little knowledge of it. He only knows that the so-called [First Hunter] is the founder of the hunter profession in Yanan.

But inexplicably, even though Lan En has never heard of it, he feels that he is somewhat familiar with this [First Hunter].

Subconsciously, Lan En touched his neck.

When the touch of [Smaug]'s gauntlet reached the skin of his neck, he was shocked to realize what he had done subconsciously.

This was almost an unprecedented abnormality due to his physical self-control.

Unless he really remembers a certain moment that he no longer remembers.

Putting down his hand, Lan En squinted at the palm that had touched his neck unconsciously, then shook his head and put it down again.

But the information was still too little. He only got the name of the rumored [First Hunter], and he didn't even know his appearance or characteristics. Even if he had seen him somewhere before, how could he correctly identify him?

Shaking his head, he marked this strange feeling of familiarity and sealed it in Mentos's database, monitored by the biochemical brain.

Under the dim kerosene light, Lan En could only judge the sky by studying the stained glass window high in the hall.

Maria returned to the research hall as dusk approached darkness.

And this female hunter who was born in the blood noble family, after returning, asked Lan En to finish her first day of work as a hunter in Yharnam on the grounds that she had more people and could take a break.

But Lan En tilted his head and looked at the blood-red pupils facing him under the three-cornered hat, and immediately understood that this was the huntress' wariness against him.

To be honest, as long as there is a [Blood Collection Bottle], hunters can just stick a needle in, and even the torn aorta will grow back in the blink of an eye, and the broken bones will have stubble on them. It can return to its original position with a strong sound.

The spirit is high, as if vitality is being continuously replenished into the body.

It was a bit difficult to rest. After young Henrik gave himself an injection, there was no need to rest at all. It was just because it was daybreak and the hunter had to return to the dark in front of the residents, so he returned according to the rules. Just home.

So when we talk about rest, among the Yharnam hunters, it generally means "take a shot [blood collection bottle]".

Only hunters who work for the Healing Church and can gain extra gains in hunting can have such luxury.

For blood saints like Adeline, the blood they produce is limited after all.

While Yharnam hunters can get a regular supply, others in Yharnam may take a long time to get a bottle.

They cannot use the entire bottle of this precious sacred blood in a luxurious way. They usually store it or dilute it with alcohol for a small indulgence.

If a hunter finds a lycanthrope's collection during the hunt, it becomes his own.

Lan En frowned, but still took a step back under Maria's gaze.

He nodded and walked towards the door of the research hall.

It seemed that he had obeyed Maria's request and was ready to leave and rest.

And watching the tall and strong figure gradually go away, Maria pressed her three-cornered hat and finally let out a breath from her cold and thin lips.

"Huh~"

The eyes under the brim of the hat are dark.

Lan En could feel Maria's fighting level from her daily pace and rhythm. But can’t Maria feel his level?

When Lan En followed her and briefly inspected the research hall, Maria felt that the thin and weak hairs on the back of her neck stood up!

It was precisely because of the tremendous pressure coming from behind that she accidentally let the musket hidden under her one-shoulder cloak be exposed while walking.

Maria could only feel the tall man behind her, who looked like a descendant of Sumeru, and his breathing was steady and scary.

Although because of this stability, his breathing was objectively not loud or deep.

But for a person with a high level of skill and sensitive senses like Maria, she only felt that every breath of Lan En seemed to move the surrounding air in a circle with a radius of two meters!

It is precisely because there is so much air being moved that, on average, those who are slow cannot feel the horror of this breath!

Breathing with this level of intensity is extremely rare even among the ferocious and terrifying beasts of Yanan!

Coupled with Lan En's behavior when he saw Maria, the combination made the blood noble even more wary.

But the current situation is exactly what Lan En wants. The demon hunter who walked down the stairs outside the main entrance of the research hall did not seem to be temporarily removed. He seemed at a loss and didn't know what to do or where to go.

Lan En looked left and right in the sunset in Yanan, and seemed to have determined his direction and goal.

He walked all the way down the stairs without stopping, turning left and right before disappearing into the crowded and confusing roads of Yanan.

Mentos provided real-time route guidance on Lane's retina, and finally stopped at a fork in the road.

Lan En's location was on top of a dirt slope, which just met a brick road going down.

At this time, the sunset in the sky of Yanan, which for some reason always had a turbid feeling, began to shine down.

The city has gone from the hustle and bustle of the day to quiet, even dead silence.

Because the coming of darkness is a clear signal for Yanan.

A danger sign.

—If you don’t want to die, go home.

Therefore, people who can still remain calm and walk around the streets of Yanan can basically assume that they are not ordinary people.

In the silence of no one, Lan En casually picked at the diseased and wilting weeds on the roadside with his toes. His ears twitched slightly at first.

Then my eyes moved from the ground to the intersection between the dirt **** and the path below.

At the same time, his steps slowly started and he walked downwards.

When we were approaching the intersection, another footsteps came faintly from not far behind.

Lan En didn't seem to care, and continued walking along the road after descending the slope.

But the footsteps behind him paused for a moment, and then hesitantly shouted.

".Lan En?"

Hearing Henryk's young voice, the witcher turned his head pretending to be confused, and happened to see a hunter dressed the same as before approaching from behind.

"Ah, it's Henrik!"

The witcher looked relieved.

Through the innate negotiation ability of the Emperor's Children, Lan En's performance is very natural.

The sense of security of meeting a few acquaintances in a strange and complicated city is vividly expressed.

"What a coincidence! I'm feeling a little dizzy right now!"

He shrugged and said luckily.

But it was no fluke at all.

He knew in advance the scope of Henrik's work at night through their first meeting and conversation at night in Old Yharnam.

Later, when Mark was getting him familiar with Yanan, he briefly asked him, seemingly casually, what a new hunter like him who had joined the Church would be sent to do.

Mark still emphasized at the time that he thought it was because the church was short of manpower that he lowered his recruitment standards at this time.

Therefore, he probably won't do the work that mature church hunters would do, but will most likely do the same work as ordinary hunters first.

That is to say, 'fill the gap caused by the deployment of a large number of elite hunters and suppress the threat of regular lycanthropy patients in Yanan'.

According to Lan En's understanding of Henryk, his good friend has just become a church hunter. Although he has become a hunter not long ago, he is more experienced than the other person.

Henrik would of course be inclined to form a team and look out for each other during the nights in Yharnam.

Just like when he teamed up with 'Future' Gascoigne.

Even if you just take care of Mark for a few days and let him accumulate some experience?

Of course Henrik would do that.

So Lan En only had to pick a path that must be passed between the two of them and wait.

The reason why the witcher did this was that he actually wanted to use this time to chat with Henrik.

But truly useful information and intelligence only requires a few sentences.

"Are you lost again?" Henryk looked at the other person up and down indifferently at first, but he said with concern, "Didn't I ask Mark to take care of you? You haven't even stayed in Yanan for a few days and you dare to wander around on your own. You It’s really courageous.”

Lan En smiled slightly embarrassed but not too panicked.

"I remember the general direction, but there were a few forks that confused me."

Then, Lan vaguely named a few landmark locations, allowing Henrik to figure out where he was 'lost' without much effort.

In the next two or three sentences, the route was clearly explained.

But what Lan En really wanted to ask was hidden in the pleasantries after he pointed out the way.
