Chapter 15 Infighting Everything(1/2)

The bar girl at the "Wandering Hotel" obediently handed over the two gold coins she got, and the information fee she got was actually gone.

Later, she added some irrelevant information, such as "The countess who moved from abroad bought many young and beautiful girls and seemed to want to engage in bad careers", "The local lord likes to wear perfume, and rarely does it these days."

Pay attention to the lord's wife", "One day someone saw strange fireworks over Constantine", "Wolves can be heard howling in the city on a full moon night" and so on.

She seemed to be trying very hard to earn back the two lost gold coins, but to Manager Haite and Jiang Xiaotan, these were just boring gossips.

However, after drinking the cider, Jiang Xiaotan still gave her two gold coins and asked her not to tell others that she had killed the Inquisitor.

Although the heretic inquisitor is a vampire, if this matter is said to be false, it will create a bad impression of vampire hunters killing clergy.

As a Blue Star who once lived in an information explosion world, Jiang Xiaotan knows the power of rumors, so he wants to control comments in advance.

Afterwards, the two put on their hoods again and were led away from the Assassin's Guild.

On the way back to the guild, while chatting, Jiang Xiaotan mentioned his "training" plan to Manager Haite again.

This made Manager Haite a little confused: Master Kain is actually serious about this idea?

In the opinion of the manager, being able to instantly kill a baron-level vampire, get rid of a vampire disguised as a heretic inquisitor, and use a magic-breaking arrow to knock down a flying bat demon in the sky, there is no doubt about his strength.

But Jiang Xiaotan didn't think so. These three things actually gave him a sense of anxiety.

He felt that his ability to do these three things was entirely due to luck.

The Baron hit the silver sword by himself, and the Inquisitor was unlucky enough to provoke Eveli. He was able to defeat the bat demon mostly because the hunters' bows and arrows consumed the bat demon's physical strength.

Traveling into another world by yourself cannot be entirely dependent on luck.

Once luck is no longer on his side, any one of these three vampires can easily kill him.

"Manager, that's what I think." Jiang Xiaotan told his plan as he walked.

He arranges his time very full, and as long as he doesn't need to go out to hunt vampires, he will start training.

Swordsmanship is practiced on Monday and Tuesday, archery is practiced on Wednesday and Thursday, and elemental magic is learned on Friday and Saturday.

Go to church on Sunday to learn holy magic.

Among them, swordsmanship and archery are both practical and theoretical. It is best to practice practical training in the morning and study theory in the afternoon.

In the evening, I read and study by myself.

"The training in swordsmanship and archery is okay. The boys in the guild should be happy to compete with you. As for holy magic, Father Suez should be able to help you, but elemental magic can only be taught by yourself." Manager Haite said.

He said while wiping his sweat.

"Didn't the guild still have legendary mages like Mammy a hundred years ago? Why have you given up magic now?"

Jiang Xiaotan has recently learned a lot about the history of "Stigmata Skin" and knows that magic was also one of the compulsory courses for vampire hunters in the past.

"Not only magic. When the guild was at its peak, there were also masters in alchemy and blacksmithing."

A hundred years ago, the "Skin of Stigmata" was not as big as it is now, but everyone in the guild was a top talent. Being able to survive in the era when the old Zhu Ye Empire was sweeping across the continent was naturally something special.

"Unfortunately, after the demise of the old empire, there was a period of time when the church was very powerful. Elemental magic, alchemy, magic armor and forging were all considered heretics and were persecuted. Therefore, the mage academy, the alchemist guild and the blacksmithing guild were all relocated to a place where the church was less powerful.

With the domineering Western Continent and the drastic decline in vampire strength, the guild no longer pays attention to these things."

In recent years, as the countries in the Western Continent have become stronger and stronger, the church has finally realized that these "heresies" are actually capital to increase national power, and has begun to turn a blind eye to it. However, it wants to pick up what has been left behind.

It will be difficult to get up.

"By the way, can you let grandma teach me magic?"

"No, the things that the soul can remember are very limited. In order to maintain her own sanity, grandma threw away all she had learned throughout her life, leaving only a magic to identify the soul. But you can also learn this magic."

"Okay." Jiang Xiaotan was very disappointed. Although this magic was quite interesting, what he urgently wanted to learn now was practical magic that would increase his strength.

"However, when there is an opportunity in the future, I can recommend you to study abroad for a period of time at a magic academy in the Western Continent." Manager Hatter said.

Jiang Xiaotan was overjoyed when he heard this, but then he thought that he had not yet made any achievements in swordsmanship and archery skills. Going to another continent alone would be a disaster.

This study abroad plan seems to have to be put on hold for a while.

The two were walking and chatting when a man walked out of the alley in front. When he saw the two coming, he stood on the roadside and saluted them.

That's Lei Lei.

After the other party saluted, he immediately looked away. He obviously had no intention of talking to the two of them. It seemed that he just saluted out of politeness.

Jiang Xiaotan returned the favor and wondered why he kept meeting this child recently.

Just as he turned his head and was about to continue talking to Manager Hatter, the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of the scene in the alley where the child came out.

There were several people lying around there!

He was startled and grabbed Manager Haite.

When Lei Lei saw that the two of them had stopped, he turned around and looked at Jiang Xiao talking with a flash of doubt, but then he seemed to be relieved.

"What's going on with these people?" Jiang Xiaotan asked.

"I don't know either. I just passed by here and this happened. I was about to contact the knights guarding this place." Lei Lei said calmly.

Jiang Xiaotan walked into the alley carefully, took off his silver sword, and poked a person lying near him with the scabbard. Seeing that the other person had no response, he squatted down to check.

"They all seem to be dead," said Controller Haight.

Several people had weapons stuck in their bodies, blood was flowing freely, and they had no vital signs.

"But there is still residual warmth on his body, so he obviously died not long ago."

"Then please watch here while I go find the Knights." Lei Lei said.

"You...well, please be careful." Jiang Xiaotan actually still had some doubts about him, but this kid looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, and it didn't look like he could kill so many people at once.

However, this child was so calm when seeing the corpse, obviously he was not an ordinary person.

Lei Lei said: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon." and left.

Jiang Xiaotan and Manager Haite carefully inspected the corpses on the ground, trying to find some clues without destroying the scene.

"This seems to be a woman, right?" Jiang Xiaotan said, pointing to a corpse wearing a hood and cloak next to him.

"Yes." Manager Hatter stepped forward and gently opened the hood, revealing a painful female face.

Also exposed along with his face is a pair of protruding elf long ears.

"This woman, we just met in the 'hotel', right?"

Although she is wearing simple clothes now, the attire of this elf sister in "The Wandering Hotel" was impressive.

"You mean, these people are..."

"assassin."

"Hiss..." Manager Haite took a breath of cold air.

The two of them had just gone to the Assassin's Guild, and then several assassins died in front of their eyes. This thing was too weird and bizarre.

"Do you think it was that child who killed these people?" Jiang Xiaotan said suddenly.

"That kid is only twelve or thirteen years old, how could he be a match for such a group of people?"

"unless...."

"...The child is not human?"

"We can't draw any conclusions now, but don't you think this kid is too calm?"

Jiang Xiaotan recalled that when he was thirteen, he was still a silly boy who only coveted his cousin's handheld game console. He would scream in fear when he saw the monsters on the game screen, let alone the bloody and twisted corpses in reality.

"Some children from noble families went to the battlefield with knights as attendants at the age of eleven or twelve. It is quite common for them to be used to seeing corpses." Manager Hatter did not feel anything strange.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. I've met this kid many times recently, and every time he salutes me, I might be too impressed."

"Does he know you?"

"Why?"

"You can ask him. Maybe he can find out your life experience and help restore your memory."

While he was talking, Lei Lei had already arrived with a group of knights.

The leader was not the old knight Jiang Xiaotan knew, but a tall and thin middle-aged knight.

"What do they two do?"

The tall and lanky guy pointed his sword at the two of them rudely and said.

"The two people who discovered these corpses were with me, and I asked them to guard here to prevent beggars from coming over and destroying the scene," Lei Lei said.

"Oh, who are you two? Why do you wear swords?"

"I'm a vampire hunter."

"We belong to the 'Stigmata Skin' guild." the steward replied.

"Oh, may I ask, Master, are these people vampires?" The knight's attitude has obviously improved, and it is obvious that vampire hunters are still worthy of respect.

"No, they are..." Jiang Xiaotan was about to say that they were assassins when Manager Haite pulled him.

He then thought that the Assassin's Guild was an organization that could not be mentioned openly, so he changed his mind and said, "Are they robbers?"
