Chapter 291: Chapter 284 Give Beethoven a Bit of a Metropolis Shock

"Dravania?"

"Yes, that’s a castle inhabited by a special group of humans."

Beethoven said.

"They call themselves the Dehrawani and enjoy hunting beasts or humans to obtain blood. Hence, some refer to them as the Blood Clan."

"Sounds like they’re not the good sort."

Liu Zheng said.

"Indeed not. The residents of Yate have had numerous conflicts with them throughout history, with casualties on both sides."

"However, since the widespread outbreak of Beastification Disease in Yate, they’ve lessened their hunting of humans and instead started helping Yate residents hunt beasts."

"And after the establishment of the Church, a direct agreement was made with them, forbidding their hunting of humans."

Beethoven nodded.

"So, fill the beasts’ bellies, and they won’t eat humans, right?"

He said with a sneer.

"That’s roughly the logic. I have some objections to this, but Grand Patriarch Dickens and the other high-ranking members of the Church at the time agreed, so I didn’t voice my opposition."

"Moreover, those Dehrawani do have physical qualities far superior to normal humans and possess a lot of advanced technological and esoteric knowledge; they’re indeed not easy to deal with."

"The Church is tasked with exploring the ruins of the Tommer Civilization and protecting against and hunting beasts. We lack the resources to make another powerful enemy."

Beethoven sighed as he spoke.

According to him, even if they couldn’t imprison all of those who had spilled the blood of Yate’s people for a public execution, they should at least assault their castle and then force them into labor or suicide squads as penance.

"So that guard was trying to hunt me?"

"Yes, your blood might be poison to us, but it could be a delicacy to the Dehrawani."

Beethoven nodded.

"The Dehrawani. Could they be the descendants of the Tommer people?"

Liu Zheng had a sudden realization.

"I’m not too clear on that, but there are indeed such rumors."

Beethoven said hesitantly.

"No problem, once I’ve captured him, I will find out."

He said with a hint of excitement.

If they are descendants of the Tommer people, then they must have the Tommer Holy Grail.

And having hunted beasts for so many years, they must have amassed quite a few Blood Gems too, right?

As long as that guard dares to assassinate him, he’d capture him and interrogate him for information about Dravania, then take a team to demand compensation for emotional distress.

"Plan’s a go."

Liu Zheng patted himself on the back for his cunning.

"You seem quite excited?"

Beethoven looked at him suspiciously.

"Nope, frightened."

He said earnestly.

"Is that so? Well, anyway, be careful. Even though you are very strong, those Dehrawani are not to be underestimated either."

Beethoven advised.

"Alright."

The two of them talked as they made their way to the workshop’s storeroom.

"Master Beethoven."

The hunter managing the storeroom quickly stood up.

"Malfoy, is the list ready?"

Beethoven asked.

"It’s ready. Do you want to check it now?"

The storeroom manager asked.

"Yes, the person collecting the items is here. Let’s check it now and then dispatch them."

Beethoven said, pointing to Liu Zheng.

"Very well."

The manager picked up a piece of parchment paper from the desk and handed it to Beethoven.

"Here, take a look for yourself. Although we have orders from Great Archbishop Amelia, we’re currently in the midst of the ’Pale Night’, and resources at the workshop are tight, so we can’t allocate too much to you."

He then handed it over to Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng took the parchment and looked at the text that twisted like snakes upon it.

"Large Blood Gems: three."

"Medium Blood Gems: ten."

"Small Blood Gems: thirty."

"There are no extra-large gems?"

He asked.

"Yes, but there are only two Blood Gems of that caliber in the entire vault, kept as strategic reserves; it’s impossible to give one to you."

Beethoven laid out the facts directly.

"Not even a slight possibility? I really need a high-quality Blood Gem like that."

Liu Zheng pleaded earnestly.

"Well, if you agree to become my disciple, then perhaps it’s not out of the question."

Beethoven clasped his hands behind his back and spoke leisurely.

For a powerhouse like him, he himself was a strategic resource; hence, even giving away a Blood Gem as a reward wouldn’t be a loss.

"Forget it, then. I’ll find a time to steal it instead."

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes.

To think he wanted to become his master for two measly huge Blood Gems, when Niu Ma almost died several times just to be his boss.

"Hey, you’re blatantly talking about stealing right in front of me, aren’t you taking me too lightly?"

A vein popped on Beethoven’s forehead.

"It’s because I respect you that I told you. If I didn’t think you were a decent person, I would have just taken the goods stealthily. Without you around, who could stop me?"

Liu Zheng said assertively.

"You! Hmm, that seems about right."

Beethoven was about to get angry but then it occurred to him that the kid might have a point.

"How about this: you tell me that method, and I’ll give you those two huge Blood Gems."

He pondered and then suggested.

Although he didn’t say it explicitly, Liu Zheng understood he was referring to curing Father John.

"Well, look at you, still remembering that piece of business."

"Of course, it’s my lifelong pursuit. It’s just that I focused all my energy on defense and hunting Beasts since I’m not good at research,"

Beethoven explained.

"Alright. Ask the others to leave then."

Liu Zheng said.

"Okay, Malfoy, you guys go out for a bit."

Beethoven ordered.

"Yes, Master Beethoven."

Malfoy and the other Hunters tasked with guarding left.

"Can we talk now?"

Beethoven asked.

"Alright. The method to cure Father John is to feed him my blood."

Liu Zheng revealed.

"So it is. Hm, indeed, I should have thought of that."

Beethoven mused.

He remembered the fear and disgust he felt upon seeing Liu Zheng’s blood just now.

"Your blood, what exactly is it..."

He hesitated as he spoke.

"It’s been modified, just like yours. The appearance you see now is also a modified perception. My real appearance is even more terrifying than those Beasts."

Liu Zheng laid his cards on the table.

"..."

Beethoven looked at him, momentarily at a loss for words.

Even though he always praised the virtue of honesty, he had never seen someone as candid as Liu Zheng.

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll hunt you down?"

Beethoven spoke after a silence.

"Afraid of what? If I didn’t find you agreeable, I would have just gone straight to negotiate with the Blood Healing Church. If they didn’t accept my terms, I would just rob them."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"Moreover, don’t think you can actually win against me, Lao Bei. If it came down to a fight to the death, I would definitely be the one to survive."

"So confident?"

Beethoven gripped the hilt of the Moonlight Greatsword reversely, a dazzling and majestic aura radiating from him like moonlight.

"Take a look at this."

Liu Zheng reached into the pocket of his Legendary Armor and pulled out a finger.

"What is this..."

Beethoven’s pupils shrank.

From that severed finger, he felt the same terror as when he once hunted a God.
