If he politely declined the lady boss 'offer of an additional gold coin, he would be able to enjoy the hint of a deeper level of communication.
Although the sexy lady boss was still charming, both her figure and appearance were quite seductive.
However, he still had an exorcism mission at night.
He couldn't spare the second time to communicate with the Lady Boss.
The lady boss who was rejected was obviously a little disappointed.
She didn't manage to hook up with such a rich, strong, and handsome adventurer.
He moved the simple luggage to the hotel.
Rhode walked to the tavern and ordered a glass of wine.
The easiest way to get familiar with a place was to walk around the tavern.
Although most adventurers were braggarts.
However, he could occasionally hear something useful.
"Have you heard? The king invited a famous tailor to sew the most gorgeous dress in the Northern Region Country for him.”
"Isn't it just a piece of clothing? What a fuss. Compared to this matter, shouldn't you be more worried about Jack? It was said that he had appeared in the towns around the Haman Kingdom recently.”
"Jack the Ripper? The psycho murderer who liked to kill young women?”
"It's not just killing women. Haven't you heard that he killed all the believers, priests, and nuns of a holy church in Walnut Town?”
" They cut open their stomachs, emptied their internal organs, and hung them in the church like dolls. It's simply a devilish method.”
With just a simple description, the noisy atmosphere in the tavern became silent.
" I heard that the Holy Church has already offered a huge reward for this damned murderous demon. There are judges, demon hunters, ascetics, and even a red-robed bishop.”
"With such a big lineup, isn't Jack the Ripper dead for sure?”
Rhode toyed with his wine glass and found it interesting.
A murderer actually dared to provoke the Holy Church?
Wasn't this going to the toilet with a lantern in his hand? Was he courting death?
The church in this world was not a place for spiritual sustenance.
The Holy Church believed in the God of Light, who was a true god.
Almost half of the believers of the gods in the Shenluo Empire believed in this god.
Killing all the believers and priests in the church and hanging up the lights was more like a declaration of war than a provocation.
It would definitely attract the wrath of the Holy Church and even the Shenluo Empire.
The Punishment Knights, the Judgement Corps, the Iron Cross Corps, and the Ascetic Monks controlled by the Holy Empire.
They were all formed by devout believers of the Holy Church and had powerful combat strength.
To a certain extent, the Holy Church had the right to mobilize them directly.
After all, this was a world where authority was bestowed by the gods.
Even the successor of the Holy Empire's Emperor needed to be baptized and acknowledged by the Pope.
Seeing that there wasn't much gossip to listen to, Rhode threw down a gold coin and prepared to leave.
The doorbell rang!
A middle-aged man in a black leather trench coat pushed open the two old doors and slowly walked in.
He had gray curly hair, and he wore black gloves on both hands. His half-naked upper body was covered in black tattoos, and there was a silver cross pendant on his chest.
There was a sharp sword at his waist and a gray crossbow on his back.
His slightly red eyes swept across the tavern.
Everyone lowered their heads.
"Give me a glass of rum."
The man walked to an empty table and slapped a silver coin on it.
"Demon Hunter!"
"This guy looks so familiar.”
Rhode was about to leave when he heard the whispers.
She was not in a hurry to leave and sat back down.
"That should be right. The cross emblem of the Holy Church, the tattoo of the exorcism mark of the demon hunters, and the demon hunting crossbow exclusive to the Holy Church.”
"Did you see his eyes? People who often deal with demons have eyes like this. I heard that if they kill too many demons, their eyes will turn completely red, and the Demon Hunter will become a demon convert.”
" The soul of the transformed will be contaminated by the power of the devil. They will become mentally unstable and kill the innocent. They might even be more terrifying than the devil.”
Hiss!
The few adventurers who were drinking looked as if they had seen a ghost.
He dodged far away.
If this guy suddenly went crazy, they better not be covered in blood.
"Don't be afraid. Those Demon Hunters who have become transformed will be locked up by the Holy Church. They will only be released when they encounter a powerful demon and perish together with the demon.”
Seeing how timid they were, the adventurer who spoke mocked them.
Demon Hunters who were placed outside by the Holy Church would almost never become converted.
Those Demon Hunters who had a chance of becoming transformed were the key targets of supervision.
Even so, no one dared to approach the man in leather.
Even the waiter who served the wine was trembling.
The man seemed to be used to this situation and did not care at all.
She lowered her head and drank her wine.
"What's your name?"
Rhode walked over and sat beside the man, asking curiously.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
The man raised his head and looked at him strangely.
"I've seen many things scarier than you.”
Even if he did become a demon, he could still be destroyed.
Rhode took out a gold coin and tossed it to the tavern owner.
"Get him a few more glasses of wine. It's on me.”
"Alright!"
When the tavern owner saw Gold Coin, he seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. His eyes seemed to be glowing with golden light.
" My name is Rhode."
Rhode raised his glass.
"Van Helsing!"
The man was silent for a moment before raising his glass.
"Van Helsing?"
Rhode's brows twitched. This name sounded familiar.
"You know me?"
Van Helsing asked curiously. Although he had some fame, this name was only circulated in the circle of demon hunters.
"Famous."
Rhode shrugged and didn't explain.
Do you want me to tell you that I've seen a movie with you as the main character?
"What a strange person."
Van Helsing whispered, but he was in a good mood.
Rhode drank two glasses of wine and saw that the sky was almost dark. He stood up and was about to leave.
"I found traces of demons in the Haman Kingdom. If there's nothing else, leave this place as soon as possible.”
Van Helsing's voice was very soft. If Rhode wasn't sitting next to him, he wouldn't have heard it.
Was this a repayment for his treat?
"Thanks for the reminder."
Rhode didn't stop and left the tavern.
Van Helsing shook his head. He had said what he needed to say. If he didn't listen, he couldn't do anything.
Demons were not easy to deal with.
Moreover, this demon was different from the other demons.
After leaving the tavern, the sky was already a little yellow. There were still two to four hours before the sun set.
Rhode walked towards the hotel.
Gradually, Rhode stopped.
Looking at the empty street, he still had that casual smile on his face.
"Van Helsing, your mouth is really like a crow.”
