Chapter 1326 1298. Church Town
By following the traces with keen vision, Lan En spent less than two minutes to find a pendant covered in blood at the location where Ludwig's distortion first occurred.
[Shining Sword Hunter Badge]
Ludwig is [the church’s number one hunter].
Now that Old Yharnam is about to be destroyed, even if it is to appease the survivors, he will definitely not be a disposable and disposable item of the Healing Church.
According to Lan En's understanding of the 'future' Yanan.
In fact, Ludwig was still active for a period of time after Old Yharnam was destroyed by this beastly disaster, and was finally officially called "disappeared" by the Healing Church.
Therefore, Ludwig came down to block the passage between Old Yharnam and Church Town, and did not hesitate to carry out massacres. But no matter how uneasy he felt after the mission was completed, he would still return to Church Town.
The Healing Church must also have arranged for the opening of the door.
It's just that in this nightmare, Ludwig's onset of lycanthropy was greatly advanced for some unknown reason, and he actually turned into a beast that night.
And through the history of 'Future' Yanan, Lan En, who had long known that Ludwig should have proof of support, found this badge directly.
The [Shining Sword Hunter Badge] is different from the [Sword Hunter Badge] that every church hunter has. This is a mark that can only be owned by Ludwig himself and the hunters directly under him.
There is no doubt that it is the thing that best represents his identity.
Maria soon returned here with a frightened Adeline.
At this time, the Saint of Blood was already full of fear. In just one day and night, the Yanan she was familiar with and the Healing Church she was familiar with had become like this.
It hasn't collapsed yet, and it is already considered to be able to withstand it.
"I'm wondering whether to place her first." Maria whispered to Lan En, with a cold expression but a worried tone, "She can't bear it anymore."
"But where is the safe place now? Where do we have time?"
Lan En responded to Maria while leading the way to the closed passage in the mountain.
He frowned too. It's a good idea to let Adeline find a safe place to stay first, but the point is... this nightmare is almost over!
"No, I'm fine!" Suddenly, Adeline, who was following them, interrupted.
As if not to worry the two people in front of him, he gave an ugly smile, but his hand was always covering his heart uneasily.
"In this situation, if you want to save more people, don't worry about me. If I encounter danger, I will find a place to hide!"
"Adeline." Maria called out the name of the Saint of Blood in a low tone.
During this time in the research hall, apart from taking care of the patients, Adeline was the only one among a group of clergy who did not feel uncomfortable.
Lan En didn't speak. He just walked upward silently, making it impossible for anyone to know what he was thinking.
"Boom~"
Walking all the way up to the sealed stone door, the Healing Church didn't know what technology it used. Lan En just brought the [Shining Sword Hunter Badge], and the door opened automatically.
"Church Town." Looking at the open stone door, Adeline sighed in a low voice. "Oh my God."
Yes, sigh.
Because the light and shadow reflected from the opened stone door are also orange-red firelight!
Lan En and the three of them walked out of the closed passage made of rocks.
Only when they got here did they see how the flames that ignited the entire Yanan appeared.
A lava flow flowed down from nowhere, directly down the mountain, all the way to the location of Old Yharnam.
And this church town, which was supposed to be the safest shelter tonight, did not look safe and peaceful at this time.
The firelight is not bad, because the church town has adopted a large number of stone and steel structures under the management of the Healing Church, and there are very few wooden structures.
Silently, the Blood Noble and the Demon Hunter looked at each other, and then they placed Adeline in the entrance passage that had been sealed again.
The two of them were speeding towards the Gothic cathedral standing not far away!
Lan En wanted to truly end this nightmare, while Maria couldn't wait to find out what happened to the Healing Church and whether her teacher knew about it.
No matter what, the goal of both of them is to end this disaster!
Many people from the Healing Church saw them on the road.
Those clergy, mentally retarded giants who did manual labor, and tall and pale-skinned descendants of Sumeru.
But Maria didn't care at first.
She was a somewhat famous hunter and had even received an invitation to a meeting at the cathedral before.
The Healing Church knows her well.
The cathedral is in such a mess now, and so is the church town. It's normal for her to go over and take a look at the situation, isn't it?
"Bang!"
The gunpowder burned and expanded in the barrel, and the mercury bullet almost grazed the edge of Maria's one-shoulder cloak and hit the masonry ground.
The person who fired this shot was a clergy member of the Healing Church.
This shot seemed to be a signal, informing everyone that someone who did not belong to the church town appeared here and wanted to reach the cathedral!
Almost the next moment!
"ah!!"
The retarded giant who obeyed the Healing Church roared angrily, waving the tools and bricks he still held and rushed towards the two of them!
Maria used [Acceleration] to disappear erratically, and when she reappeared, the blade of the [Falling Leaf] long knife had pierced the mentally retarded giant's belly from the side, and the tip of the knife came out from the other side of the belly.
Blood splattered on the stone bricks.
"What the **** is going on?!"
Maria exclaimed.
What surprised her was not that the Healing Church would kill people. Following Lan En's footsteps in the lower-level Jiu Yanan, she had gradually come to understand the true nature of the Healing Church as an organization.
What surprised her was that people here shouldn't attack her as soon as they see her!
She is a serious hunter, even if she comes up from the lower level, it is normal!
But Lan En's eyes became brighter and brighter when he looked at the cathedral.
"Isn't this clear?"
The demon hunter raised his arm without looking back, and a mercury bullet hit his arm armor and bounced straight away!
"Something happened in the church that no one should know about! They didn't even let the clergy outside look in! They certainly wouldn't let people outside the church have a chance to live to see it!"
As if their hostile will had been activated, the Healing Church personnel, who were already busy, were now attacking the two of them crazily.
"I'll deal with it! You do what you have to do!" Maria slashed her long knife, and the head of a clergyman behind Lan En was neatly chopped off. "Don't worry about me! I'm going to find my teacher and ask him clearly!"
This was originally what Maria had always wanted to do after so many unexpected changes.
So Lan En didn't say much, he just took a deep look at the blood nobleman with white hair under the three-cornered hat and a one-shoulder cape fluttering.
"Whether you find someone or not, don't go too far, Maria!"
"What's the meaning?"
"Anyway, don't go too far. If you go too far, you won't be able to come back!"
Lan En didn't have any more explanation. He straightened his figure and rushed towards the cathedral!
