Chapter 9 Inhumans

Adam endured the discomfort and walked into the block, almost dragging his feet.

Although they are all made up of feces, there is a difference between dry and wet.

After entering the slum, the follow-up tracking becomes difficult. After all, the smell is too strong, and Adam feels that his nose is going to be broken when he wants to desperately search for the smell of a potion here.

But fortunately, Adam is not clueless, some of the man's characteristics have been remembered by Adam, especially when he cleans his hands.

People in this era think water is unclean, they seldom wash their hands, and seldom drink water. If they want to replenish water, they should drink wine if they can, and drink beer if they don't. Otherwise it's all kinds of soup.

There are multiple reasons for this, but one of the main reasons is public health.

Except for a few wells, the water quality here is not very good, and people in this era have not formed the habit of boiling water and drinking boiled water. If they really drink raw water, a serious illness is Can't run.

Once the idea that water is unclean is formed, most people don't even want to wash their hands, so in general, you rarely see clean hands.

Adam's behavior of cleaning his body frequently, although the Bock family did not say much, but they also thought it was a kind of strange problem.

"I can only say that I'm still not ruthless enough..." Adam laughed a little at himself. To be really ruthless, not only to others, but also to himself.

He can eat the holy bread and endure the pain in order not to arouse suspicion, so that he will not reveal a weak spot because of eating the holy bread in front of Master Monk, but he still can't accept that he is like falling into a cesspool, covered all over. Smells unpleasant.

On the contrary, most of the church monks are clean, they use holy water.

Holy water is also divided into several types. The simplest one is the clean water extracted from the well under the church bell tower. The bell of Holy Tune Church may be one of the few items related to the extraordinary in the church, so The water also has a little bit of Holy Power.

The water used for ceremony such as pilgrim worship, hand washing, etc. is this type of holy water.

When the alien worshipper was washing his hands, he pulled out a wood thorn and some wood chips from his fingernails.

Generally speaking A person with so much wood thorn sawdust in their fingernails is either a carpenter or a lumberjack.

Adam prefers the latter because of the moss-splattered dirt around the edges of his shoes, of course it's all guesswork.

Along the way, Adam didn't dare to let go of his sense of smell with all his strength. He approached the slum and approached the forest. After wandering quietly for a few laps, he finally found a new clue.

It's not smell, it's sound.

In the silent night, Adam heard a voice coming from a small remote wood house near the forest, like a wild beast in madness, wanting to bark, but in the Under the influence of fear, he suppressed his emotions and did not dare to make a sound, so he could only growl.

In Adam's perception of letting go, the other party was like a powder keg that exploded at one point. As he got closer, Adam also heard what the other party was whispering.

The answer "Blood~Blood~" made Adam frown. As far as he knew, Werewolf did not have any kind of pica. Among most alien species, only vampire had a special preference for 'blood'. one type.

A pure vampire is an existence transformed from a certain ceremony by a magician who studies werewolf.

But think about it and know that this one is definitely not a pure vampire.

Some werewolfs can spread wolf venom through bites, so that ordinary persons can be transformed into non-pure werewolfs. An ordinary person is transformed into a non-pure vampire, which can also be called a blood slave.

It doesn't matter that this alien is a vampire, the question is how he transformed into a blood slave.

"Did a pure vampire ever appear in Roja? Or was this person transformed elsewhere and escaped to Roja?" Adam couldn't help but start to think.

Adam doesn't want to kill the opponent when he sees vampire, as the general rumors do. For Adam, this is not good, and he basically won't do anything that is not good.

But Adam had to consider what kind of threat it would pose to him if that pure vampire was still in Roja.

A pure vampire must be a sorcerer, and a sorcerer with in-depth research on werewolf. Adam doesn't hate vampire for no reason, but he can't guarantee that vampire will catch him for experimentation on a whim. .

"Roja's situation is getting more and more complicated." Adam frowned, but decided to proceed as planned.

He came to the door quietly, but Adam did not intend to go in, but entered a state of perception, and began to perceive everything around him in all directions.

The blood slave inside is caught in the endless thirst for blood, which is his eating instinct. At this moment, there is only another instinct that can suppress this instinct, the survival instinct.

As Adam analyzed, Adel was frightened, and since the Witch Doctor was caught at the stake, he fell into a deep fear.

Even out of fear, he did some pretty stupid things.

Adam didn't disturb the blood slave in that state, but quietly came to the side of the room and used sharp claw to directly open the lock of the cellar.

Covering his mouth and nose, Adam gradually came to the cellar. Although he had dim vision in the werewolf state, the cellar was too dark to see clearly. Following the smell of the oil lamp, he lit the oil lamp. , the whole cellar came into his eyes.

Although expected, Adam was slightly uncomfortable with the horror of the basement.

There are several wooden pillars supporting the cellar, and there are also some wooden cabinets in which some bottles can be seen, some are empty and some are left.

Unsurprisingly, those are potions.

But the potion is not the most eye-catching thing now, but a stinky, twisted corpse.

From the shackles, the strangles on the pillars, and the piles of feces in the corners, it's not hard to decipher what's going on here.

Although vampire and blood slaves don't have the problem of being crazy about the moon like werewolf, they also have their own problem - a morbid thirst for blood.

In Roja, even in a slum, if someone is often attacked and sucked blood, it will attract the investigation of the church monk. On the contrary, if a person disappears, it is difficult to attract the attention of the church, because for the slum, it is difficult to attract the attention of the church. , disappearances are all too common.

Imprisoning a person in a cellar as a steady source of blood is not surprising to a cautious blood slave.

"Is there an uncontrollable anger out of fear?" Adam expressed a moment of silence for the passing of this man, whose twisted corpse shows that he suffered even after death. unimaginable torture.

"Wouldn't you be very awake before you died?" Adam looked at the wooden pillar at first and there were some notches recording something, and after that, only messy bite marks remained, and he judged that the prisoner was imprisoned. People here are mad before they die.

Don't imagine how elegant vampire is, its essence is a different species, sometimes more like a wild beast than werewolf, and even more so for the blood slaves infected by it.

Adam made no secret of his disgust for the blood slave. Adam knew very well that he was a scum, but this blood slave was nothing more than a scum.

"I really am a scumbag!" Adam recognized himself again.

He didn't turn around to give death to the human-shaped garbage, but tapped a few times on the wooden cabinet on one side and took out a book from a mezzanine.

Looking around a bit, Adam retracted, popped his claws, and started writing on the cabinet.

After writing the remarks he had prepared earlier, Adam hesitated for a moment, and then added a sentence: bury the body quickly, you should not want to be contaminated with corpse odor. Go to church and be discovered by monks!

After doing all this, Adam extinguished the oil lamp with his hand, left the slum quickly with the book, came to a clean river, put the book on the bank, and jumped directly into the river. Washed, everything about that blood slave made him nauseous.

Looking at the first quarter moon hanging high in the sky, Adam resisted the urge to roar, picked up the book, and disappeared into the night.
