The sky was shrouded in darkness like a lightless night, and torches reflected the silhouettes of people, but they remained unchanged due to the fall of eternal night.
Some people gathered at the entrance of the town and seemed to be conducting some transactions. Catalina avoided there and reminded Lu Li not to pay too much attention.
The difference in Leviathan Town is reflected in the people. Most of the hunters are tired and thin. The problem of the residents is more serious. Due to long-term lack of water, their bodies are sickly dark yellow, and their loose skin hangs on their thin bodies.
Even on the street, highly polluting waste pickers look healthier than local residents.
"Follow me." Catalina whispered, becoming more cautious than in Tango Town, and led Lu Li to the Hunter Guild.
"They are seriously short of water." Lu Li felt strange about this.
Even if drinking water is prohibited, the lack of water should not be to this extent.
"Because the religion here is very religious...you know what I'm talking about." Catalina tried her best to make herself look less obtrusive.
The residents believe in gods and abide by the rules.
Katarina has been to Leviathan Town several times and knows where the local Hunters Guild is.
A few minutes later, they came to a building that was unique from the surrounding houses. The coat-of-arms pattern on the wall was a cross between a dagger and a flintlock.
"Psychic gun..." Lu Li whispered its name.
"Yeah, but I can't afford it, and the thing makes too much noise, so it can only be used in a safe zone."
Catalina once saw someone using it. After pulling the trigger, the entire wilderness echoed with thunderous gunshots. When the surging strangeness receded, nothing was left.
Pushing the door open and entering the Hunter's Guild, the smell of snuff mixed with various flavors hit your face and enveloped the ceiling like mist.
The hunters in the guild are in slightly better condition. Apart from the common thinness, they don't have many symptoms of dehydration.
Catalina ignored the prying eyes around her and walked straight to the counter.
"Delegate or accept." The staff member with droopy skin and severe dehydration asked feebly. Her voice was almost drowned in the noisy guild.
"Information for sale."
"Can it be made public or private?"
"Can be made public."
The surrounding noise became slightly quieter as the words fell, and some eyes focused on Catalina.
Publicly available information often means "a share of the pie," especially to those who hear it first.
"Speak directly and we will evaluate your information..." The tired staff yawned due to lack of water, as if they might fall asleep at any time.
Catalina deliberately imitated Lu Li's calm tone and said, "The nearby ghoul nest is migrating and preparing to expand into a ghoul town."
The Hunter Guild was suddenly enveloped in silence following Catalina's announcement.
The hunters looked here one after another, but no one looked happy. For the town and everyone, the emergence of a ghoul town is a big trouble. There is no profit or water to be gained, and it is also very dangerous.
Groups of ghouls are never something a hunter acting alone can fight against.
In the silent Hunter Guild Hall, only sleepy inquiries rang out: "Where is it?"
The calm and tired staff seemed to hear an insignificant message.
"They are going..." Catalina paused. She didn't know where the ghouls were going.
"The ghoul lair is about 15 miles south. You can follow their tracks to track them." Lu Li said calmly.
The staff member rustled it down and asked, "May I ask your name?"
"Katrina. Bee-sting Katarina." Katarina said quickly.
"We will determine whether the information is true. This will take some time. When it is confirmed that it is true, you can come to the Hunter Guild to receive your reward."
"How long will it take?"
They won't stay for long, Catalina will leave the town of Leviathan at the latest when the eternal night fades.
"Depending on whether the situation is... haha... emergency and distance." said the yawning staff member.
Catalina doesn't think the town will investigate during the night, and it seems that she won't be able to get the reward in the short term.
"Someone is following us."
Just as they walked out of the Hunter's Guild, Lu Li's voice sounded.
Catalina stopped and turned around: the two figures following them did not turn around and walk away, but just slowed down slightly and walked towards her.
"We don't mean any harm." The strong man said in a low voice.
Leather armor represents a man's identity, and the skin not covered by leather armor appears keratinized like ichthyosis.
The other was a figure as short as the mole, but not as fat.
"I am Jushi. We heard your information in the guild and want to team up with you to explore the lair." His words were short and concise.
Although the migration and expansion of ghouls is dangerous, hunters can still make a profit.
Abandoned ghoul lairs often contain goodies, such as relics of their victims.
Catalina was a little tempted, but she didn't believe others, shook her head and refused: "We have other things to do."
The profit from "selling" Lu Li far exceeds that of exploring the ghoul's lair, which is the most important thing at the moment.
Jushi said nothing, and simply turned around and left with his companions.
The hunters following Catalina were not just boulders, but there was another wave, but they hid in the alley and looked around like mice. Catalina had a look of disdain on her face, and her left eye flashed black, which made ordinary sneaky hunters dare not
Keep following.
On the way to the hotel, they saw several carriages gathering at the west exit of Leviathan Town, reportedly preparing to enter the wilderness shrouded in eternal night.
Lu Li observed the caravans mixed in with the convoy. There was a vague aura of the wilderness inside, which might be the reason why the convoy rushed into the wilderness in the eternal night.
Entering the hotel, Catalina was about to rent a room when a group of silhouettes broke into the hotel.
"Religious adults..."
The skinny hotel owner bowed his head piously and respectfully.
Two cloaked believers came from outside the door. Their cloaks were longer than Lu Li's, and they dragged on the ground like gauze curtains. They moved in an almost translational manner as if they were floating close to the ground.
"The church has confirmed your information...what do you want..."
There were whispers and vague murmurs in the shadow of the cloak.
"A sum of money."
Catalina subconsciously blurted out, then remembered the convoy she saw, and added: "And I hope we can follow the convoy to Ghost Town."
Wow
A bag of coins was thrown at Catalina, and the skinny claws under the cloak disappeared in a flash.
"The team will accept you..."
Catalina caught the heavy bag and quickly thanked her. Suddenly she noticed that the shadows under the cloaks of the two believers turned to Lu Li, seeming to be watching him.
"Pure unbelievers...Leviathan Church welcomes your visit at any time..."
Accompanied by the murmur of prayers, the believers left the hotel as if they were floating.
