This isn't a souls-like game at all.

"oh oh!"

Wei Fu quickly got up and led Ye Yiyi and the silent Eurost away from there.

"Who is this woman?" Eurost asked softly on the way.

"I'm looking for a wanderer guide. The terrain in the royal capital is too complicated." Ye Yiyi answered.

"Wanderer..." Eurost frowned slightly, "Is she reliable?"

"Tonight is curfew. I rescued her from the Holy Blood Knights and hired her to lead the way. I can't say she's reliable, but at least she won't tell on me."

"So it's a deal." Eurost nodded slightly and said no more.

Walking down the alley, passing through all kinds of bizarre paths, and even taking the stairs from the roof of a building to the roof of another building, passing through many buildings on the way, finally stopped in front of a path.

This place is far away from the main mountain road, located in the gap between two high-rise buildings. It is a small path no more than one and a half meters wide.

The path was filled with various simple shacks and dead bodies lying everywhere, blocking the drainage of rainwater and turning it into a river of blood.

The strong smell of blood even covered up the stench on Ye Yiyi and Eurost.

"How is this going?"

Ye Yiyi had a grim expression on his face as he checked the dead bodies one by one.

These people, both men and women, were dressed in simple and thin linen clothes, very similar to how Viv was dressed at the beginning.

"This is a gathering place for homeless people..." Wei Fu replied calmly.

Then she looked around and squatted down in front of the body of a middle-aged woman, searching her body for anything useful.

"After nightfall tonight, those two-meter-tall black cans, along with the Principality's soldiers, began clearing out the people left on the streets, including these homeless vagrants.

"If I hadn't run fast, I wouldn't have met you, sir..."

As Wei Fu spoke, she sighed deeply and closed the eyes of the woman under her, who was still open in death.

"Goodbye, Tory..."

She said softly, then wiped the several copper coins she had found on the corpse with her raincoat, and then carefully put them into her purse.

"How barbaric..." Eurost looked around the deadly place and shook his head slightly.

"Vagabonds don't pay taxes. Their presence doesn't bring any economic benefits. Instead, it disrupts public order. The Holy Blood Cult wants to use the curfew as a pretext to eliminate the destabilizing factors in the city."

"You're right. We are just parasites living in this city. We shouldn't be alive."

Weifu stood up and looked at Eurost coldly, "But wanderers are also human beings. We just want to live. Do we really deserve to die?!"

Eurost replied calmly, "Although most of the wanderers are thieves, robbers, and destabilizing factors in society, I don't mean to discriminate against you.

"Little girl, you should blame those in power instead of taking your anger out on me."

"But in the final analysis, this curfew is because of you!" Weifu said coldly, "If you hadn't assassinated the Grand Duke, there wouldn't be this massacre!!"

"Wei Fu, you didn't listen to a single word I said." Ye Yiyi shook her head.

“No one ever assassinated the Archduke from the beginning to the end. This is just an excuse given by the Holy Blood Order, a complete lie.

"Euroste has made it very clear. Wanderers are of no value to the capital. Even without today's curfew, they will eventually get rid of you.

"If the Archbishop succeeds in becoming a god, then it won't be a question of survival. The Holy Blood Cult will capture you as test subjects, training you to be quick-made divine warriors and cannon fodder. Slaves don't qualify, but wanderers do."

“…” Wei Fu lowered her head and said nothing.

She sat down weakly against the shack and sighed deeply.

"My Lord, I don't really understand what you are saying."

Her words were drowned out by the sound of heavy rain, but they were clearly audible to the two of them.

"I don't understand so-called gods, nor do I understand what bloodthirsty rituals are. I'm just a wanderer, a member of the lowest social class, a pitiful person with only a tiny bit more freedom than a slave...

"You know, my biggest wish is to have a house of my own, a decent job, and hot meals every day... I also want to live with dignity."

She looked at the bodies around her, most of which were people she knew.

These people helped her and she helped them.

If wanderers cannot learn to help each other, they will die in obscurity.

But at this moment they were all dead, turned into cold corpses, and no one survived.

"I'm sorry..." Weifu lowered her head, feeling particularly depressed. "It's just a grumble I made when I lost control of my emotions. Please don't mind it."

Ye Yiyi and Eurost looked at each other, the latter shook his head, and then winked outside.

"You should calm down by yourself for a while, Wei Fu." Ye Yiyi said.

He and Eurost walked to a small trail not far away, leaving Viv alone there.

"You really surprised me." Eurost took off his shirt and scrubbed the dirt off it in the heavy rain.

“You are completely unfamiliar with this city, which means you have only been here for a short time, but you seem to know everything about the current situation and secret intelligence of the Holy Blood Order.

"Foreign gods, bloodthirsty rituals, and archbishops intent on becoming gods...

"This information is difficult to obtain even for the most experienced hunters. Can you tell me who you are and how you achieved this?"

"I come from the Zhige Hall and I'm a magician. You can call me Michaela..." Ye Yiyi brought out the same excuse again.

"lie."

Unexpectedly, Eurost revealed this fact without hesitation and with a smile.

"This rhetoric might work for fooling the country folk in remote areas, but it's full of flaws for an old fellow like me who has visited the Hall of Stopping War."

"Oh... I knew it." Ye Yiyi sighed.

As expected of an experienced old hunter, it is not easy to deceive him.

"I'm actually a hunter too." He simply changed the way he put it, "It's just that you hunt foreign gods, while I hunt cursed creatures."

"Curse?" Eurost's expression suddenly became serious.

"You mean the stasis curse?"

"Yes."

Ye Yiyi nodded.

"To be honest, I just came out of the sewer pipes in the royal capital. There was an ancient puppet infected by a stagnant prophecy..."

"Have you destroyed it?" Eurost interrupted Ye Yiyi anxiously, "The harm of the stagnation curse is much more terrifying than that of foreign gods. Once the curse breaks out, everyone in the entire royal capital will die!!"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Ye Yiyi rolled her eyes. "Why do you think I have time to save you? If I don't get rid of that thing, will I end up in the sewer?"

"Huh... That's good! That's good!"

Eurost breathed a sigh of relief and finally a smile appeared on his face.

"I can't believe you're so young, you look even younger than Gavin, but your abilities are miles ahead of his! You're truly amazing!"

"What's the point of praising me? I didn't rescue you just to hear you praise me."

"Please speak, sir." Eurost immediately straightened his attitude and said seriously.

It is enough to know that Ye Yiyi is a friend. Eurost is an experienced old hunter who knows what to ask and what not to ask.

It took five minutes to briefly explain the current situation of the Holy Blood Cult to Eurost, and the old hunter immediately frowned.

"I do not recommend that you clean out the Church of the Holy Blood in the city," he said.

"Gavin took away one of the three elements of the ascension ceremony, but the Holy Blood Cult is unaware of this. They will think you are Gavin and that the [God's Egg] is also in your possession.

"In order to rescue me, Your Excellency has alerted the Holy Blood Cult, and they will surely launch a city-wide manhunt.

"The best thing to do now is to go deep into the upper drainage pipes. As you said, it's as complicated as a maze. We can hide in it and wait for the church's support to arrive. Then we can work together inside and outside to defeat the Holy Blood Cult in one fell swoop!"

Ye Yiyi couldn't help but nod. He felt that Eurost's approach was indeed the best strategy at the moment.

But then he shook his head, because hiding and waiting for support was not Ye Yiyi's style.

He has an infinite health cheat, so the most important thing he should do now is to rush forward as much as possible without being caught!

Anyone who stands in the way will be killed, anyone who tries to stop us will be destroyed!

Be it a god or a curse, no matter what is ahead, Ye Yiyi will crush it hard!

Otherwise, why would I cheat?

"I can temporarily not clean up the Church of the Holy Blood."

He began to speak, “But my purpose in going to the upper drainage pipe was to rescue the offspring of the Spread-Winged Eagle and kill the Lord of Holy Blood!

“After that, I will charge directly into the upper city and wipe out the archbishop and his sect!

"I will not hide and wait for support. I want you to know this."

"..."

Eurost looked at Ye Yiyi silently, with various complex emotions flashing through his eyes, which eventually turned into admiration and relief, and then he suddenly smiled.

"Is this the courage and boldness of the Curse Hunter? It's truly fascinating!"

Eurost put his shirt back on, leaned on his threaded cane with both hands, and a crazy smile appeared on his face.

"Your Excellency, may I be able to accompany you?"

"It's dangerous, and you could die."

"It's just death. If you hadn't saved me, I would have died at noon tomorrow!"

Eurost smiled calmly and said, "I would rather die on the battlefield with the gods than be hanged in public!"

Ye Yiyi couldn't help but smile, "It seems I didn't save the wrong person."

He found Weifu, who had calmed down and was collecting the bodies of the wanderers, and threw the remaining half bag of silver coins to her.

"The transaction is nearing its end. This is the final payment. Take us to the last place, and your mission will be completed."

Wei Fu held the half bag of coins, stared at the two of them blankly, and nodded hesitantly.

According to Ye Yiyi's description, Wei Fu brought the two to a drainage pipe that had been sealed for a long time, a Church of the Holy Blood near the upper city.

"I used to work as a laborer here and found a metal pipe extending from the mountain in the backyard. I don't know if it's the one you are talking about," Wei Fu explained.

"You'll know if you go in and take a look." Ye Yiyi nodded at Wei Fu, "If we don't come out in ten minutes, you can leave."

"Oh." Wei Fu nodded slowly.

"Be careful, find a place to hide and don't let the patrol catch you... If all else fails, go stay at the knight's house. He'll at least let you stay for one night."

"Let's go." He glanced at Eurost, and the two of them walked towards the Church of the Holy Blood.

"..."

Wei Fu silently watched the two people disappear from her sight, then looked up at the dark sky with heavy rain again, muttering to herself.

"When will this rain stop..."

Chapter 97 [Holy Blood Purification] and [Skill Gem]

The entrance to the upper drainage channel may be in the backyard of a Church of the Holy Blood.

Ye Yiyi was not surprised by this.

Rather, after he discovered the elevator leading to the upper floors in the secret Holy Blood Cult, he gained a basic understanding of the complex passages in the royal capital...

Soul Echo +88

Soul Echo +88

Soul Echo +3300

"Ok?"

Ye Yiyi looked at the prompt that suddenly popped up on the simplified light screen and couldn't help but stop.

"What's wrong? Are there enemies?"

Seeing this, Eurost immediately pulled out his flintlock revolver, looked around vigilantly, and prepared for battle.

"That's not..."

Ye Yiyi pinched her chin and looked at the simplified light screen with a thoughtful expression.
