The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

The Church of Light would not participate in blood therapy. Nor would the nobles allow them to. The reason he was informed this time was simply to allow the Church to prepare. Archbishop Tut was well aware of this.

As soon as Archbishop Tut stepped out of the basement, he saw Lu Ming waiting for him in the corridor.

Archbishop Tut frowned and asked Lu Ming, "What is the price of blood therapy?"

"I think you already saw it," Lu Ming replied with a helpless sigh.

Upon hearing this reply, Archbishop Tut sighed heavily and said, "If you are going to form an organization to hunt down those monsters, remember to include me and the people of the Church. We will never allow monsters to ravage our own homeland!"

Let's work together!

-----------------------------------

The next afternoon, when Lily, Sham, Miral, and Yul Sica were about to visit Lu Ming at the lord's mansion, they discovered some strange mobile blood transfusion vehicles on the streets of the noble district.

Many nobles in poor health received blood transfusions there, and some even had their most trusted subordinates receive transfusions as well.

"Excuse me, what are you doing here?" Out of curiosity, Miral walked over and asked a person waiting for a blood transfusion.

"You don't know yet? This is blood therapy!" Seeing that the person asking the question was Lu Ming's fiancée, the man explained very politely, "It's a method for strengthening the body that a group of scholars under the Grand Duke researched for over a decade. According to others, blood therapy not only strengthens the body but also cures illnesses. Most importantly! It can increase a person's talent! Turning someone who could at most become a fighter into a swordsman!"

Upon hearing this, Miral and Yul Sica became interested.

Unfortunately, Sham and Lily grabbed them and forcibly dragged them away.

Sham and Lily didn't believe that this blood therapy, which was clearly not of the proper kind, would be without any serious side effects. Especially something that could advance a fighter to a swordsman. If it had no side effects, wouldn't it be like a divine artifact?

Although they really wanted to try it, Miral and You'er Sika had no choice but to obediently go to the lord's mansion with Sham and Lily because they had to go see Lu Ming, and stopped thinking about the blood therapy.

But after the four of them left, almost all the nobles who had received the blood therapy instinctively glared at them, as if they shouldn't have refused this gift from the gods!

A dozen minutes later, Sham and his three companions arrived at Nero's manor.

Along the way, although the journey wasn't long, the four of them discovered that there were actually two blood transfusion points. Moreover, the people receiving blood transfusions were all somewhat insane.

They were all there, eager to continue receiving blood transfusions, and some even tried to force others to receive them as well.

This situation worried Sham and Lily. They hoped Lu Ming knew something.

Not long after entering the lord's mansion, Sham and his companions found Lu Ming in the study, talking with Archbishop Tut, Saldallo, and Nero.

"Why are you all here?" As soon as he saw the four of them coming over, Lu Ming immediately got up from the sofa and went over to them.

“We’ve come to see you,” Sham said with a smile.

"I see." Lu Ming was quite happy that his four fiancées had come to visit him. However, noticing the worried looks on Sham and Lily's faces, he couldn't help but ask, "Did you discover something?"

"On the way here, we saw some people giving blood transfusions to nobles. It's said to cure diseases and make them stronger. Lily and I think this is very similar to what Yusahar said when he promoted the Deep, so we're a little worried."

"Has the blood therapy already begun?" Hearing Sham's words, Lu Ming sighed and turned to Archbishop Tut in the study, saying, "Have the priests inform everyone in the city. On the night of the full moon, the hunters will go out to hunt. Anyone still on the streets at that time will be killed without mercy!"

Before Sham and the other three could recover from the shock of Lu Ming's words, Archbishop Tut stood up, nodded, and said, "I understand. I will have them inform the others about the Hunting Night!"

After saying this, Archbishop Tut quickly left.

As Archbishop Tut walked past Lu Ming and his group, Lu Ming sighed and said, "I hope Paris City will never experience the same pain as the Deep again."

“However, it was already destined.” With a sigh, Archbishop Tut left the lord’s manor and went to the church in the city to prepare for the hunt a few days later.

Watching Archbishop Tut leave quickly, Sham and his companions were unaware of what had happened. But they knew, however, that this matter was very serious!

"What exactly happened? Why are you and the Archbishop like this?" Yu'er Sica, a white mage apprentice of the Church of Light, asked Lu Ming with some confusion.

Seeing that she and Sham were unaware of the truth behind blood therapy, Lu Ming took them to his study and told them about Amelia and the use of her blood for blood therapy.

Furthermore, he informed them that blood therapy might cause them to transform into beasts. He also instructed them to have their mansion reinforced, to seal the windows on the first floor with iron bars, and to set up magical arrays in the living room to reinforce the walls, doors, and windows, in case of any unforeseen events!

While Lu Ming was explaining to Sham and the others how to deal with the beast-like patients caused by blood therapy, Saldallo's fiancée also arrived at the lord's manor.

Saldallo had no choice but to repeat Lu Ming's methods to Philner as well.

"Since blood therapy is so harmful, why don't you stop it from happening?" Philna asked with some doubt after Saldallo repeated Lu Ming's instructions.

"Good question! Do you know why we can't stop blood therapy?"

"That's why I asked!"

“The reason is simple: the Grand Duke has sent people to monitor every blood transfusion point. As soon as any of us who know the truth show up, we will be arrested immediately and executed for treason! Even Saldallo is no exception! So we can only hope that after the first night of the hunt, the masses will understand the horror of blood therapy!” Nero said helplessly, sitting on the sofa.

"Archbishop Natut..."

“He is the Archbishop of the Church of Light. The Grand Duke hasn’t reached the point of turning against the Church, so he’s fine. However, for some reason, he can’t warn the people about the dangers of blood therapy,” Lu Ming explained when he saw that You’er Sika was a little worried about Archbishop Tut.

"Then what are these hunters you're talking about?" Philna asked, raising his hand.

"Hunters are a group of people used by Yharnam, the land of blood healing, to hunt down the beast-like patients. So we plan to form a similar organization to deal with the night of the hunt. The confirmed members now include myself, Saldallo, Nero, the thousand soldiers of the city's defenses, and one hundred priests from the church."

“And what is the Night of the Hunt?” Philner asked again.

"Although people who receive blood therapy will also turn into beasts at other times, the rate of beast transformation is almost 80% or more on the night of a full moon! Therefore, the night of a full moon is the time to eliminate beast-transformed patients. That's why it's called the night of hunting, meaning the night to hunt beast-transformed patients."

After a brief silence, Sham said to Lu Ming, "I also want to join the Hunters..."

But before Sham could finish speaking, Lu Ming interrupted him.

"No!"

Sham paused for a moment, then asked angrily, "Why?"

"Because I'm going hunting, and apart from you and Miral, the rest of the family members are only of average strength, so you two need to stay home and protect the others!"

"But aren't Jack and Bajerton still at home?" Sham asked, still somewhat confused.

“Sham, listen to me!” Lu Ming’s answer was simple, even somewhat blunt.

But Sham sensed Lu Ming's helplessness. She could even feel how much he longed to lead everyone away from Paris City, this hellish place about to be ravaged by beast-like patients.

"I understand. Be careful."

"I know, I know..." Lu Ming said softly, giving Sham a gentle kiss on the cheek.

On the other side, Saldalo and Fernández were doing the same thing.

However, unlike Sham's obedience, Firna persuaded Saldallo. After all, Saldallo had no relatives in Paris besides the Grand Duke and Firna. He was also worried about leaving Firna alone in the temporary residence.

So he had no choice but to bring her along to join the hunters and prepare for the hunting night a few days later.

About half an hour later, Sham and his three companions left the lord's manor to go to the industrial zone to find someone to reinforce their house.

Meanwhile, the priests had begun informing all the citizens that a hunting night would take place in a few days. Anyone still in the streets would be killed by the hunters!

Furthermore, families who have not received blood therapy must hang a white magic lamp provided by the church, while those who have received it must hang a red magic lamp. Otherwise, they will be seen as prey and hunted down!

This prompted many craftsmen in the industrial zone to inquire about what had happened to Sham and his three companions, who were very close to Viscount Lu Ming, the head of the hunters.

Having been warned by Lu Ming, Sham and the others could only tell the craftsmen to avoid blood therapy and not to go out at night. Otherwise, the hunters' swords and bows wouldn't be so ruthless!

Although the craftsmen were warned not to tell anyone, they were very grateful to Sham and his companions for their extra care in reinforcing the mansion.

However, the inexplicable reinforcement of Lu Ming's mansion alerted many nobles to a very bad omen, prompting them to also reinforce their own residences. (To be continued.)

Chapter 56 - The Hunter

On the third day of the blood therapy, at noon, Saldallo returned to the lord's manor with several soldiers covered in blood.

After letting the soldiers take a bath, he spoke to Lu Ming, Nero, Archbishop Tut, and Artus, who were training some promising hunters in the lord's manor's training room: "Someone has already turned into a beast today. Many people are reminded of the Dark Abyss not long ago because of this. They are starting to spontaneously want to join the ranks of hunters."

"Is it because Lu Ming is a hero who fought against the Dark Abyss that the people choose to believe in the hunters he formed? However, I suppose the Grand Duke also has quite a few supporters, right?" Artus was forced to speak to others while being attacked by several hunters whose profession was fighter.

As a latecomer with relatively weak skills, training is essential for Artus!

"As before, those who received the blood therapy and most of the commoners sided with my father, while most of the nobles and a small number of commoners who did not receive the blood therapy chose us."

"Is it because the nobles know about the affairs between nobles that they don't trust the Grand Duke? However, this is very advantageous to us!" Lu Ming smiled as he forced back a hunter who was attacking him with his sword.

“Yes!” Saldallo nodded and said, “It is because the nobles know what a noble is and what a lord is that they chose us instead of my father, who is a lord. After all, we are just like them, merely my father’s subordinates. Without uniting, we cannot obtain any power.”

Lu Ming and the others strongly agreed with Saldalo's viewpoint.

Whether they were nobles under a lord or lords under an emperor, their way of survival lay in resisting their lord. Otherwise, even the little power they held would be taken away!

After a short while, Archbishop Tut asked Saldalo, "What is the current situation regarding the beastification in the city?"

"It's alright. But even the monsters that ordinary monsters transform into are not easy to deal with. I'm really worried about how difficult it will be to deal with the second-tier fighters and mages in the city after they transform into beasts during the Hunting Night," Saldallo said with concern.

At this moment, Lu Ming interjected, "But that's not the most worrying thing. The most worrying thing is that on the night of the hunt, when hunters are hunting the beast-like monsters, they might accidentally get their wounds splattered with the blood of a beast-like patient or accidentally drink it, thus indirectly receiving blood therapy and causing them to become beast-like themselves!"

Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, Saldallo's expression immediately changed: "I was hunting just now and I was accidentally scratched a little, and it seems there was a tiny bit of blood on me..."

"Then you'd better watch out! If you turn into a beast, we won't hold back!" Nero said jokingly, mistaking Saldallo for a joke.

However, upon hearing this, Saldallo's expression suddenly turned even more unpleasant.

Seeing this, Lu Ming knew that what he said was true.

Walking step by step towards Saldallo, Lu Ming grabbed his shoulder and said very solemnly, "Bessification is a terrible thing. At that time, you know exactly what you are doing, but you can't stop. When you see something, there is a voice in your heart screaming: 'Tear it apart! Tear it apart!' That scream will make you restless, making your body subconsciously follow its will, tearing everything apart, biting it, and swallowing it. So if you become a beast, please don't blame us."

Seeing Lu Ming's very serious face, Saldallo closed his eyes and nodded vigorously.

-----------------------------------

At night, the roars of monsters could be heard throughout the city of Paris. Almost everyone hid in their reinforced houses after dark, hoping that the houses would provide enough protection for themselves and their families.

However, what if that monster is a family member close to you?

No one knows what these monsters are or where they came from. All that is known is that on the day the blood healing began, an organization called the Hunters was formed in the city to deal with the monsters and provide safety for the people and nobles.

Everyone knows that Lu Ming, the newly crowned viscount, is among the (Hunters') organizers. However, the (Hunters') refusal to discuss the cause of the monsters' appearance has led many to believe that this time it was likely caused by the corruption of that nobleman, just like Yusaha Sachi.

However, this time, Lord Nero Catolo was also one of the (hunters), leading the people to suspect that these monsters might be from Muspelheim or even Tartarus, rather than Niflheim.

While the people were worried about the monster, Grand Duke Hedist, who had arrived in Paris, was not idle either.

Using blood therapy to transform many people into monsters, he widely spread the message to the ignorant masses that after receiving blood therapy, they would no longer be afraid of monsters. Because after receiving blood therapy, they would become capable of defeating monsters!

In this way, a large number of civilians received blood therapy. However, those civilians who chose to join the ranks of (hunters) avoided blood therapy and stayed as far away from blood transfusion sites as possible.

Around 11 or 12 o'clock, the once bustling night taverns in the city were now almost deserted, except for a few powerful individuals who were not afraid of monsters and were still drinking there.

If monsters hadn't appeared elsewhere, but hunters weren't the only ones in Paris, the tavern owner probably would have moved away long ago.

"Have you heard? (The hunters) are going to go on a killing spree in a few days and start the night of the hunt!" Just as everyone was drinking, one of the people who looked like an outsider said to another outsider.

"Didn't the Church of Light release the news a few days ago? Why are you bringing it up now?"

"Exactly! This is old news!"

The two patrons nearby thought they were talking about something, but it turned out to be just news from a few days ago, and they couldn't help but complain.
