Chapter 337: Chapter 288: Hunting Night_2

Whether the patients were truly cured was hard to prove, but there were indeed more than thirty people who died from bloodletting.

Later, the doctor Enga was accused of slaughter, the crime being that Jia’en had killed more than thirty innocent lives through bloodletting.

A trial against Enga, at that time, seemed quite farcical and bizarre, but it might have been quite in line with common sense in that world.

Enga was cut in half and asked to heal himself, so he could be acquitted and his contributions acknowledged; otherwise, it was a death sentence.

As for the outcome... Lind had once glimpsed Enga’s photo in the NPC summary on the forum, he was featured in Newmoon Town, affectionately called "Surgeon" by the Undead.

Finding the "Crimson Lady" responsible for planting in Fox Hole was key to solving this problem.

Meanwhile.

The roundtable meeting between the new and old nobility had already started.

Queen Rania sat at the table, even as a guest in a visitor’s seat, her demeanor made it seem as if she were on home ground.

The one to speak up was not her uncle, whom she despised and feared; he had been silent since greeting her earlier.

But Rania always subconsciously paid attention to him, the fear of him was deeply ingrained in her bones.

The woman known as the "Red Nun" initiated the conversation.

"I hope we can work together, shedding the prejudices of new and old nobility," she said.

Rania did not look at the Red Nun; instead, she looked towards the woman filled with divinity: "Have you forsaken your service to the gods?"

"The gods have fallen." Her voice was void of any fluctuation, expressionless, like a statue cast from stone or clay.

"We were once the most devout believers of the gods, and so has the Rand Kingdom always been, even if the gods are dead now. That doesn’t give you a reason to establish a new force and split the nation," Rania shook her head gently.

"I have no interest in power," the other’s voice remained cool, but the fact that she was willing to actively explain showed she wasn’t truly indifferent to everything, she still had emotions, "I’ve always adhered to the oath of a Songbai Knight Guard, protecting every life."

"Then pledge allegiance to me," Rania pressed her hands onto the table, and despite being the only ordinary person present, she seized the initiative, "If you want to pledge allegiance, to restore the rule of the Rand Kingdom, Raven City along with Mountain Demon Castle, everything will return to peace, to normalcy."

Since you have no interest in power and only wish to protect the common people, that makes things simple. If our two forces join together, we can certainly protect even more people.

"That will be quite difficult, Your Majesty," said the old man with a thick tree branch as a staff, "The cursed nobility will fall into madness, and you and the duke managed to maintain rationality, that’s just an exception."

"What about my uncle?" Rania looked towards the Black Catfish Prince.

Even when she had sat on the king’s throne, she might not have had the guts to look at him directly, but at that moment she did so on her own initiative.

The Black Catfish Prince maintained a smile, like an affable uncle watching over his niece.

"We have reached cooperation," the Black Catfish Prince said, "They do not trust me. And I’ve given them the blade that can kill me at any moment, when I might pose a threat."

"You should use this so-called blade and kill him now, before you regret it later," Rania had no intention of giving the Black Catfish Prince face.

There was definitely something sordid between them.

Rania knew he would never pledge allegiance to her, but she couldn’t stand the sight of these people who claimed to act for everyone, yet were really just manipulating power for their own ends.

The Red Nun spoke up again: "The current outbreak in Fox Hole is not a bloodlust plague, but a curse from the Blood Clan."

She shared information related to the Blood Clan within the Black Marsh Kingdom.

And she emphasized again, "They once tried to obtain the bodies and blood of the nobles, and that is why we must connect with you and the duke."

"What if they get the blood?"

The Red Nun: "No one would want to witness that."

Rania frowned, knowing Lind had gone to Fox Hole, but she did not believe the so-called Blood Clan could harm Lind.

There weren’t many things in this kingdom that could hurt Lind, the greatest threat at the moment was standing right before her.

The unsuspecting wizard, the Songbai Knight Guard from Permafrost Land, and the Black Catfish Prince.

Rania asked, "Why do you know all this?"

"Because I am also a member of the Blood Clan," the Red Nun opened her mouth, her sharp fangs protruded from her lips, transforming her face into something eerie.

...

...

Lind left Fox Hole, taking the old hunter Charles with him; more and more Undead were gathering outside, a war was about to erupt.

The Undead might prefer to call it "going into an instance."

The old hunter, carried by Lind, had never experienced such speed; a man running could actually be faster than a horse, and sometimes Lind would spread his wings to soar over obstacles!

Several shaky Calamity monsters appeared ahead, their teeth interlocked, with bellies split open, forming a large cleaver.

They moved like executioners from a village, staggering toward them and leaping high as they neared, swinging their belly-mounted cleavers at the two.

Instinct told the old hunter he couldn’t dodge, but the iron chain Lind threw out caught the Calamity monsters and flung them away.

Nothing on the road could obstruct Lind’s advance.

"This should be the place," Lind said casually.

Lind tossed the old hunter to the ground, cleared a space, and then, grasping a tree branch, quickly traced a large circle on the ground.
