Crowned King

Chapter 9 Non-human

Adam endured the discomfort and walked into the block, almost picking a place to step.

Although it was all made of feces, there was a difference between dry and wet.

After entering the slums, the subsequent tracking became difficult. After all, the smell was too strong. Adam felt that his nose was going to break if he tried to chase the smell of medicine here.

But fortunately, Adam was not clueless. Some of the characteristics of the man had been remembered by Adam, especially when washing hands.

People of this era believed that water was unclean, and rarely washed their hands or drank water. If they wanted to replenish water, they would drink wine if they had the conditions, beer if they didn't, or various soups.

There are many reasons for this, and one of the main reasons is public health issues.

The water here, except for a few wells, is not good in quality, and people of this era have not formed the habit of boiling water and drinking it. If you really drink raw water, you can't escape a serious illness.

Once the idea of ​​water being unclean was formed, most people were unwilling to wash their hands, so under normal circumstances, you rarely see clean hands.

Although the people of the Boku family did not say much about Adam's frequent cleaning behavior, they thought it was a strange habit.

"I can only say that I am not cruel enough..." Adam laughed at himself. The real cruelty is not only to others, but also to oneself.

He could eat the holy bread as if nothing had happened in order not to arouse suspicion, and endure the pain, so that he would not reveal his flaws in front of the monks because of eating the holy bread, but he still couldn't accept that he was like falling into a cesspool and stinking all over.

On the contrary, most of the monks in the church were clean all over, and they used holy water.

There are also several types of holy water. The simplest one is the clean water extracted from the well under the church bell tower. The bell of the Holy Sound Church may be one of the few items in the church that is related to the extraordinary, so this water also has a little bit of holy power.

The water used by believers in pilgrimage, hand washing and other rituals is this kind of holy water.

When the alien worshipper washed his hands, he pulled out a splinter and some sawdust from his fingernails. The splinter was new and didn't seem to have been caused by touching any wooden products.

Generally speaking, people with so many splinters and sawdust in their fingernails are either carpenters or lumberjacks.

Adam preferred the latter because there was mossy dirt on the edge of the other person's shoes. Of course, all this was just speculation.

Along the way, Adam didn't dare to let go of his sense of smell. He approached the direction of the slums near the forest. After quietly wandering around for a few rounds, he finally found a new clue.

It wasn't a smell, but a sound.

In the silent night, Adam heard a sound coming from a remote cabin near the forest, like a mad beast, wanting to bark loudly, but under the influence of fear, he suppressed his emotions and didn't dare to really make a sound, so he could only roar.

In Adam's perception, the other party was like a gunpowder barrel that would explode at any time. As he got closer, Adam also heard what the other party was whispering.

"Blood~blood~" This answer made Adam frown. As far as he knew, werewolves did not have any pica. Among most alien species, only vampires were particularly fond of "blood".

Pure vampires are beings transformed by magicians who studied werewolves and used some rituals to transform themselves.

But think about it and you will know that this person is definitely not a pure vampire.

Some werewolves can spread wolf poison by biting to transform ordinary people into non-pure werewolves. Vampires transformed by werewolves seem to have similar abilities and can transform ordinary people into non-pure vampires in some way, which can also be called blood slaves.

It doesn't matter that this alien species is a vampire. The problem is how he was transformed into a blood slave.

"Did a pure vampire appear in Roya? Or was this person transformed somewhere else and escaped to Roya?" Adam couldn't help but start thinking.

Adam would not want to kill the vampire as the general rumor said. For Adam, this is not good. He basically won't do things that are not good.

But Adam had to consider what kind of threat the pure vampire would pose to him if he was still in Roya.

A pure vampire must be a magician, and a magician who has in-depth research on werewolves. Adam would not hate vampires for no reason, but he could not guarantee that the vampire would not capture him for experiments on a whim.

"The situation in Roya is getting more and more complicated." Adam frowned, but decided to proceed according to the plan.

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

The blood slave inside fell into an endless desire for blood. That was his feeding instinct. At this moment, the only instinct that could suppress this instinct was another instinct, the instinct for survival.

Just as Adam analyzed, Adel was scared out of his wits. Since the witch doctor was caught and put on the stake, he fell into deep fear.

He even did some stupid things because of fear.

Adam did not disturb the blood slave in that state, but quietly came to the side of the house and pried open the lock of the cellar with his claws.

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, and the whole cellar came into his eyes.

Although he had expected it, Adam still felt slightly uncomfortable with the miserable state of the basement.

Several wooden pillars supported the cellar, and there were some wooden cabinets. Some bottles could be seen in them, some of which were empty, and some were still left.

As expected, those were potions.

But the potion was not the most eye-catching thing now, but a smelly and twisted corpse.

From the shackles and ropes, the marks on the pillars, and the feces piled in the corner, it is not difficult to analyze what happened here.

Although vampires and blood slaves did not have the problem of being crazy about the moon like werewolves, they also had their own problems-the morbid desire for blood.

In Roya, even in the slums, if people are often attacked and sucked of blood, it will attract the investigation of the church monks. On the contrary, if a person disappears, it is difficult to attract the attention of the church, because disappearance is too common in the slums.

Imprisoning a person in the cellar and becoming a stable source of blood supply is not surprising for a cautious blood slave.

"Is it because of fear that you have uncontrollable anger?" Adam mourned the death of this person. From his twisted corpse, it can be seen that he suffered unimaginable torture even after death.

"Is he not very sober before he died?" Adam looked at the wooden pillars. At first, there were some scratches on them, recording something, and then only messy bite marks were left. He judged that the person imprisoned here had gone crazy before he died.

Don't imagine vampires to be so elegant. They are essentially alien species. Sometimes they are more like beasts than werewolves, and the blood slaves infected by them are even more so.

Adam did not hide his disgust for the blood slave. Adam knew very well that he was a scum, but this blood slave was a piece of trash that was even worse than a scum.

"I am indeed a scum!" Adam recognized himself again.

He did not turn around to send death to the human-shaped trash, but knocked on the wooden cabinet on the side a few times and took out a book from a mezzanine.

After flipping through it, Adam put it away, popped out his claws, and began to write on the cabinet.

After writing the speech he had prepared earlier, Adam hesitated for a moment, and then added a sentence: Bury the body quickly, you should not want to go to the church to worship with the stench of corpse on your body and be discovered by the monks!

After doing all this, Adam pinched out the oil lamp with his hand, quickly left the slum with the book, came to a clean river, put the book on the shore, and jumped directly into the river to wash his body. Everything about the blood slave made him sick.

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