"Slow down, what a beautiful view! The mountain chosen by the Wolf King is quite spectacular. You won't see such a magnificent hilly landscape in Fabro City.
Don't be so anxious. Keeping your eyes on the goal is important, but don't miss the scenery along the way. Crossing the finish line is only a brief moment, and the interesting process is more important."
As expected of a teacher, Aruman felt that it made sense.
Rudolf touched his hollowed-out belly. Fortunately, he was wearing a robe, otherwise Aruman would have noticed that his legs were weak.
This time Rudolf was lucky and encountered a train with passenger cars.
On this wilderness railway, trains used to not carry passenger cars during the day, and the blood servant miners could only go out at night, as they would get sunburned during the day. Now that there are more refugee miners, the train has added one or two passenger cars during the day. The passenger cars in the front are for the refugee miners, and the freight cars in the back are for ore.
When the doors of the carriages opened, the refugees were surprised to find that two people had actually boarded the train at the transit station of the Wolf King's tribe.
The refugee miners understood that the two people who came up must be apostles, otherwise they would not have boarded the train from this dangerous middle station. And the knowledgeable people have recognized that the robes they wore were witch hunter robes.
The refugees automatically made room for the two witch hunters, and that position was also very special. There was a patrolman next to the two positions.
Aruman was stunned. He didn't expect Blanca to be on this train.
Blanca also noticed the witch hunters. The witch hunters were wearing hoods. She carefully leaned to the side.
In the parliament, the police department has a wide range of responsibilities, but the trial department has a higher status. All witch hunters are apostles, but the police do not have this requirement.
Blanca was very nervous due to her wizard identity. She was cautiously on guard against witch hunters. She didn't know why witch hunters appeared here.
Witch hunters hide in Fabro City and rarely leave the signal tower.
The furnace only targets high-level alchemists and witch hunters, otherwise the towns around Fabro City cannot operate.
The two witch hunters did not want to talk, so Blanca sat quietly.
The clanging carriages kept moving forward. The wilderness became more and more desolate. There were no big trees, only yellow grass in late autumn.
The shaking of the train made Blanca depressed. The witch hunter was very quiet. She began to think about the last time she met Aruman.
She couldn't sleep all night these days. Aruman's words stimulated her. Maybe Aruman was right.
Evil will be punished. Even if the power is weak, we must have the courage to resist. This is what Blanca is most excited about. For this reason, Blanca even fabricated an investigation report, writing the attack on the farm as a refugee riot. Fortunately, the farmer's house was completely gone, and no evidence was left.
In the report, the turbulent refugees fled the farm and fled to the wilderness. People who fled to the wilderness will become food or blood food, or become blood servants or wolf servants. The police station is understaffed and no one will investigate this matter.
After listening to Aruman's remarks, Blanca wanted to go to the mining area to see her parents.
She told Aruman that her parents had died in the bloody night, and it was just a lie she made up to make herself feel better. In fact, her parents were not dead. Her parents looked for her once, but she was unwilling to forgive them. Later, her parents stayed in the mining area and never came back.
Blanca used to resent her parents, thinking that they had bitten her brother and sister to death. Now, she suddenly had another idea. The murderer was not only her parents, but also those who created the bloody night.
Aruman carefully watched Blanca's condition. He saw that Blanca was in a trance and was a little worried. He didn't ask the teacher why he didn't formally accept Blanca as a student. When the teacher accepted him, he said that his character and ability were both good enough. Blanca's problem was not his ability, but his character. Maybe the teacher thought that Blanca had not yet realized that he could become a wizard.
Near dusk, a magnificent castle appeared outside the window.
It was the castle of the former Ravno family, and now belonged to the Fast family. After Ravno's death, the parliament found a new blood family, the Fast family.
The most conspicuous thing in the castle was the towers. Each tower was not big in diameter, about 5 or 6 meters, hexagonal or octagonal, but the height was more than 8 stories. Blood races like towers, which are very high, so it is convenient for them to leave and land when flying.
Among the dozen towers, there are several 4-5-story main buildings, where the blood race's high-ranking officials live.
Of course, these buildings on the ground are just disguises. The real core of the castle is underground. They dug a huge bunker deep underground, where ancient coffins are displayed, and it is as interconnected as a cave.
The long life of the vampires allows them to build a castle in hundreds of years. In the human world, hundreds of years may change several kingdoms. There are many stones in the wilderness, which are all good building materials.
The sun is still hanging in the sky, and the whole castle is silent. Candlelight will only be lit there when the sun sets.
Outside the walls of the castle, there is a large area of low wooden sheds, in which miners from several mines live.
A town has actually formed here, a town surrounding the castle and the mining area.
The vitality of human beings is so strong that ordinary people do not have much ability. They survive hard and tenaciously in the world ruled by the apostles.
Miners, werewolves and vampires form a weird balance. In order to sell minerals, miners can barely survive, and werewolves and vampires will not do too much.
Here we also have to thank the alchemist. The Alchemy Council has sent a lot of work regulations. Whether it is the vampire mine manager or the werewolf driver, they must carry out their work according to the work regulations. In mining, alchemists are professional.
The train stopped at the station, and a werewolf asked everyone to get off the train: "Wait until the sun sets, and a blood clan mine manager will come to arrange for you. You wait here first."
The witch hunters and patrolmen did not need to wait, and they walked into the castle.
Aruman watched Blanca walk towards the miners' living area. He was a little confused, wondering what Blanca was doing here.
Rudolph could see Aruman's eyes focused on Blanca through his cloak, and he said:
"Don't worry, sometimes this layer of skin on our bodies is very useful, representing our identity. Blanca is wearing a patrolman uniform, and the blood clan here will not do anything to her."
Hearing the teacher's reminder, Aruman quickly retracted his gaze.
Rudolf handed Aruman a document: "According to the refugees, the Fast family secretly turned some refugees into blood slaves. In addition to finding the relics for you, we have to deal with this matter."
"Ah?" Aruman was very surprised: "But, don't we... have to work like witch hunters?"
"Of course!" Rudolf emphasized: "Do what you love. Since you are a witch hunter, you must fulfill your duties as a witch hunter. Except for not 'hunting myself', other things cannot be delayed."
