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

Chapter 154 A Young Man Arrives in Yar Town

Pres is 37 years old and is the captain of the guard in Yar Town. His job is to guard the four gates of Yar Town.

As a local, he knows his hometown very well.

This small agricultural town, located in the northeastern part of the central province, has very fertile land.

The grain produced here alone is enough to feed one-tenth of the population of the central province.

Young Pres was proud of this, believing that even the people of Moonlit City were fed on the excrement of the Yar people.

But after getting married, having children, and spending most of his life navigating the officialdom, Priest knew very well:

These peasants of Yar are nothing more than candles for the revelry of the men and women of Yongyue City.

His worries about the future disappeared after Priss became the captain of the guard.

Because he knew that his life would be like this, like a salted fish, unable to make any waves.

Pris's only hope now lies with his eldest son, whom he has exhausted his connections and wealth to send to Moonlit City for studies.

Three years have passed, and Priscilla's son is about to graduate.

If he can't find a job in Moonlit City, then he'll have no choice but to return to his hometown, which he both loves and hates.

To prevent his son from becoming a candle, and even to prevent his descendants from becoming candles.

In the past year, Price has started to nitpick at businessmen who come and go, only allowing them to pass if they pay double the usual bribe.

Those who knew Prince were all surprised by his behavior.

Although he was not good at speaking before, he always did his job conscientiously and only took what was required by the rules.

But after hearing about Pres' son's situation, everyone was no longer surprised by his behavior, and even secretly mocked him, saying, "A Yar is a Yar. Does he think he can stay in Moonlit City just because he studied there for a few years?"

"Exactly! Selling the entire town of Yar would buy ten houses in Moonlit City!"

"Ten units? In good locations, even one isn't enough!"

"I think Priest has gone mad. Does he think he can defy fate just because he's a guard captain?"

"Hehe! You didn't know? He said he recently met a minor nobleman from Wingmoon City, who claims he can help his son find a job!"

"Heh! I think that guy is a fraud. Places like Yongyue City are full of fraudsters. I bet Your Excellency has been surrounded by them all these years!"

Recalling the gossip, Pris looked at the sparse crowd outside the city gates with a mocking expression:

A bunch of gossipy fools, how could they possibly know the power of that esteemed person!

Prince nodded to the acquaintances who had come to town and did not make things difficult for the farmers.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the sound of a carriage, a smile appearing on his face as he looked over, thinking to himself:

With such a loud noise, the cargo must be very heavy. I need to check it carefully this time!

Prince's deep hatred for businessmen stems from his childhood experiences.

He clearly remembered that although the harvest was bountiful that year, those merchants said:

At this price, there's too much grain this year; we simply can't buy all of it. If you won't sell, I'll go to the next village.

Merchants bought his grain for only a third of the money they usually spend.

That same year, Prestige's father fell ill and died because he couldn't afford treatment.

Having endured a difficult childhood, Price always felt an urge to skin those businessmen alive whenever he thought about it.

As the carriage drew closer, he had already decided how much toll he should collect.

"They're here!"

Pris squinted and looked, only to find a wolf's head gleaming silver as it emerged from the end of the road.

Then, a carriage covered in rusty spikes, completely black, and resembling a giant coffin came into his view.

The overwhelming sense of oppression made it hard for Priss to breathe, and the strong smell of blood made the guard captain grip his weapon tightly with tension.

He felt he would be smashed into a pile of minced meat by the thorny crown charging at full speed.

squeak-

When Lao Ba's wolf head was still two meters away from Pris, Ga felt as if he had come back to life.

Pris turned to the side and saw the animal marks and the brand of Put Town on the carriage. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately suppressed his inner elation:

It's here! I can finally turn my life around!

He pulled the red-haired guard beside him and whispered in his ear, "Go to the tavern and find old Rick. Tell him a young man has come to Putt Town."

The red-haired guard was young and was also Prince's nephew. Upon hearing this, he immediately ran off to complete his uncle's mission.

Priss took a deep breath and looked at the three people who came down from the Crown of Thorns. His face, which was about to smile obsequiously, immediately became tense.

He looked at Vann, then at Katya and Lilith beside him, and after confirming that there was one man and two women, he clenched his hands behind his back.

Vann walked up to Priss, took out the golden pass, and said in a deep voice, "We need to rest in town for the night and leave tomorrow morning. Please arrange a place for us."

"Okay—okay."

Prince looked at the tall, serious-looking Vann and nodded.

Katya, standing nearby, grinned sheepishly and asked Priss, "Captain, where's the best restaurant in town? Is it close to the market?"

After carefully examining Katya and confirming that she matched the description in the intelligence report of being "a glutton" and "rather silly," Pres smiled and said, "I'll personally take you to the town's post station when we arrive."

"Okay! Thanks!"

Katya turned her head to look at the silent Vann, took his hand and asked, "Lord Vann, what would you like to eat? I'll bring it to you later."

Van En swallowed hard: "Hmm—that would be best—"

Halfway through his sentence, Vann felt Katya tighten her grip on his hand, coughed, and said, "Whatever. While you're at it, could you check if anything unusual is happening in town? We encountered the Blood God's cultists back in Fren!"

When Pris heard the words "Blood God's heretic," disgust appeared in his eyes.

He pounded his chest at Van En: "Sir, if anything happens, please let us know. We'll risk our lives for you!"

"Van" and "Katya" gave Pris a deep look and nodded.

after that.

Van and Katya led Lilith back to the Thorn Crown, and under the personal guidance of Pris, they headed to the inn next to the Yar Church.

On the carriage.

Katya's previously憨憨 (simple-minded) expression suddenly turned sharp: "We just arrived, and that Pris sent one of the guards away. That guy is definitely suspicious!"

"what?"

Van En looked puzzled: "Sir, I think that captain is a very nice person! And when he heard about the Blood God's evil followers, the hatred on his face wasn't faked."

Katya sneered: "That high priest of Put Town, did you ever suspect he might be a traitor?"

Vann fell silent, his lips pursed, and he said sadly, "Mr. Claude is a very kind person, I never expected—"

Past lessons have proven one thing.

The internal administrative system of the Healing Church had long been infiltrated by the Grimm Theatre Company due to corruption.

Katya rubbed her temples, a smile playing on her lips. Looking out the car window at the muddy town of Yar, she said in a deep voice, "I wonder if you third-rate actors can withstand this trick of using the fake Van En and the diversionary tactic."

Katya straightened her hunter uniform, looked at Vann's current appearance, and suddenly burst out laughing.
