Game: I'm a Hunter in the Blood Curse World

"A whip, a cane, a hunting rifle, a staff, and what else... Oh right! There's also a longsword form!"

"So there are five types? What if there are some we haven't seen before?"

Cold sweat beaded on Van En's forehead as he began to wonder if there was anything else going on, but the countdown had already reached 3 and was about to end.

"Fine! Let's try anything, even if it's a long shot. The worst that can happen is we'll have to put in more effort once we get to Lu Ting!"

Van En, having gone all out, shouted at the blue obelisk:

Five types!

The obelisk flashed blue light, and the crackling sound disappeared.

Fann swallowed nervously, staring intently at the blue obelisk.

hum-

The blue light emanating from the obelisk grew brighter and hotter.

Van En felt that this was not a normal reaction at all. He glanced at Lilith in the room, then grabbed the obelisk and rushed out of the room.

Snapped!

Van En used all his strength to throw the obelisk into a corner of the corridor, watching it crash into the wall.

Bang!

A blinding blue light flashed, and the obelisk exploded, scattering fragments everywhere.

Van En sighed helplessly, thinking to himself:

"Ms. Leslie, how many forms does your golden cane have?"

The explosion at the obelisk wasn't very loud, so it didn't disturb anyone.

Although he failed, Vane still went to the corner and began to tidy up the remains of the obelisk.

The once ingenious mechanism is now charred black, with little remaining.

However, Vann did find the only complete component—

A transparent triangular prism about the size of a thumb.

Holding this thing, Vann suddenly realized something was wrong.

He was thinking about the question of how many forms Leslie's golden cane might have, and that this might be known to traitors in the William family.

Carl left a significant flaw in this question.

So Vann held the triangular prism and read its information:

Inferior Arcane Crystal: Its energy has been completely depleted, rendering it useless.

Strangely, it is engraved with hidden arcane runes, seemingly recording something. To use it, it must be placed on an item of the same size; otherwise, it will still be damaged.

A smile appeared on Van En's lips as he nodded repeatedly.

"That's right! That's right! I knew Professor Carl's caution went far beyond this!"

Fan En happens to have one of the same specifications!

He took out the obelisk keystone from the Mystery of the Deer Court, and looking at its opened tip, he discovered a similarly dim triangular arcane crystal beneath a triangular brass plate.

Vann became excited. He gently pried open the buckle on the brass plate and poured out the arcane crystal inside.

Out of caution, Van also read the information about the arcane crystal and found nothing unusual.

However, Van En still put it in the carriage's storage box, just in case it was still useful.

After placing the arcane crystal containing the information into the brass obelisk, Vann pressed the play button.

Snapped!

The opened tip immediately closed, and a hissing sound rang out.

However, Van En was still very uneasy, and could even hear his own heart pounding.

"I don't know who you are... but Tang Ji entrusted that item to you according to Teacher Leslie's last wish, and you are one of the only two people in this world I can trust..."

Hearing Carl's voice ring out again, Vann finally felt relieved.

He pinched the space between his eyebrows, feeling like this series of reversals was giving him a heart attack.

But considering Leslie's strange and stubborn ways, Vann didn't find it strange at all what Carl and Donji had gone through over the decades.

However, I couldn't help but think to myself:

"These hunters from the William family are really cunning."

Faced with this hard-won hidden information, Fan En put aside his thoughts and listened carefully:

"...I believe you must be a big shot in the Healing Church, otherwise you wouldn't have obtained that inconspicuous arcane crystal."

My lord, you were able to get things from Tanguy because you are a kind person and he trusts you.

Therefore, I humbly beg you!

Please, for the sake of the Moon Goddess, Lord Leslie, and all that we have given!

Please, please save the person who helped me deliver the message. Although I don't know who he is, this poor man must have suffered a lot on his way from the remote Sweet Well Village to Yongyue City!

If... he has indeed been imprisoned by the church, please save him! Thank you! I will pray for you by the side of the Moon Goddess!

Fan En was deeply moved.

"Professor Carl... he's such a good person! He'd plead for a complete stranger..."

The sounds inside paused for a moment, then Karl coughed incessantly and seemed to be talking nonsense.

Clearly, the injuries he sustained while investigating the opera house and Leslie's situation were beginning to flare up severely.

Van En felt helpless, but the thought that Karl had died peacefully brought him a slight sense of relief.

After a few minutes of recovery, Carl revealed his final secret and what had happened:

"Kind sir, you should be able to tell what my situation is right now, so you should have believed everything I said before."

Unfortunately, there are still Blood God cultists hidden within the Lu Ting and the church. They have been watching me ever since I started investigating Teacher Leslie.

I have finally escaped their pursuit with the help of my friends.

Unfortunately, I am a nobody, and my old friends have long since retired from the church, so those who come to me are just lackeys, and I can't find out who is behind it all.

However, I left some clues, which I hid with my friend. With your abilities, you can investigate and find out who those people are.

My friend is the director of the orphanage in Yar Town. He is a very low-key person and, besides you, the only person I can completely trust.

The situation is critical. Ms. Leslie won't last much longer. Please hurry and go find my friend immediately!

Karl's voice disappeared with a frantic growl.

Van En lowered his eyes, gripped the brass obelisk in his hand, and memorized the most important information within it:

Director of the orphanage in Yar Town.

After calming down, Van En suddenly smiled:

"Teacher Karl is frighteningly cautious. I'll probably have to go through some tests with that orphanage director..."

But this experience also made Van En more steady.

He carefully cleaned up the marks in the corner before returning to his room.

He also checked the little golden cocoon on his back and found that the little guy inside was still asleep, which put his mind at ease.

Not long after.

Katya, who had been eating in the kitchen and was burping from the food, returned.

She brought two cans of stewed vegetable soup and two pieces of whole-wheat bread.

Van En now has an amazing appetite. After devouring the food, he had Katya sleep with Lilith while he went to sleep in another bed.

The next morning, Van was the first to wake up.

He glanced at the full moon outside the window during the "daytime," its silvery light barely illuminating the world, and inwardly marveled at the wonder of the Blood Mist World.

After washing up, he had a simple breakfast with the novice scholars and priests in the church.

Afterwards, Van En returned to his room to prepare to go back to Sweet Well Village with Katya.

He leaned against the doorframe, watching Katya comb Lilith's hair, and smiled.
