Traveler of the River of Time and Space
Chapter 107 - 24: Northern Continent 2
CHAPTER 107: CHAPTER 24: NORTHERN CONTINENT 2
The next two days.
The female warlocks conducted multiple tests on Melissa and found that she currently showed no symptoms of craving blood. As long as she refrains from drinking blood and consuming blood-related magic potions, she is no different from other demon hunters.
"No need to worry too much."
Lady Elena looked at Van Helsing beside her and said, "There are high-tier vampires who can completely renounce their craving for blood; she shouldn’t be affected too much."
Overall, Melissa’s magic potion trial was a success.
She currently exhibits extraordinary speed, incredible endurance, and excellent recovery ability, surpassing many demon hunters who have passed the magic potion trial.
The only issue is that she cannot consume blood-related things.
This means she can’t use certain magic potions, but it’s not a big deal. Some demon hunter schools rarely consume magic potions regularly. All alchemy potions have toxicity; an ordinary person would die instantly from drinking them. Only members of the Viper School among demon hunters often consume magic potions because they have the highest toxin resistance.
With her enhanced physical qualities, Melissa is quickly mastering the White Crow Swordsmanship.
Her current strength can easily handle a witch hunter elite alone; the only thing lacking is ample combat experience.
On the seventh day.
The group arrived at the Hardy port on the Northern Continent.
This was even more prosperous than imagined; the rich profits from smuggled trade attracted many merchants to take risks.
Compared to Lund, this place was a completely different scene.
In Lund, everything looked like a bustling city during the early Renaissance, while here appeared like a wild prosperity zone with low houses, vast smuggled goods, and fierce mercenaries. Most people here looked tough, wielding swords and weapons, and merchants looked more like fierce pirates rather than businessmen.
You could see dozens of fierce warriors at a glance, most of whom were guards of smuggler merchants.
There were too many women on the ship.
Even though Lady Inid asked them to wear large cloaks to cover their faces, the presence of so many women attracted a lot of malicious gazes.
Occasionally, a glance revealed the faces of the female warlocks, leaving some people in a daze.
"Let’s go."
"Find a place to settle first." Van Helsing frowned and approached Su Ziyu, saying, "Someone is following us. Go handle it."
Su Ziyu gestured for Judy, Nicole, and Mira, who were beside him, to go ahead.
Then he went to the edge of a small alley. When two sneaky men followed, he grabbed one by the neck with each hand and dragged them in.
A dagger stabbed toward Su Ziyu’s abdomen.
Bang.
He frowned and directly grabbed the man’s neck, smashing him against the wall.
Blood slid down the wall.
The other man shook in fear, his hand, which had pulled out a dagger, trembled as he lowered it.
"P-Please don’t kill me..."
"It’s the Seal Dog who sent us..." The man trembled uncontrollably.
Bang.
Su Ziyu clapped his hands and turned to leave.
He had anticipated this long ago. Women’s beauty can be troublesome; back on Earth, trouble could arise just from going out for drinks with pretty female colleagues, let alone escorting so many beautiful female warlocks.
The laws of this world cannot constrain those malevolent thugs.
Lady Inid had some arrangements here; they quickly found a courtyard to settle in. Surprisingly, the ones waiting here were elves.
Southern Continent elves are rare.
Humans have oppressed their living space, causing many elves to retreat into seclusion.
"Did you handle it cleanly?" Van Helsing asked.
"Yes." Su Ziyu nodded, looking toward the street outside, "Let’s leave here early. These women attract too much trouble!"
Van Helsing patted his shoulder and laughed, "Don’t worry too much."
"They aren’t easy to bully either."
Without equipment made of anti-magic metal, any female warlock alone is a dangerous individual. Even with anti-magic metal equipment, they are only at risk once close.
But there are still too many beautiful women.
The news spread like the wind; soon, many local thugs knew of their arrival.
At night, Su Ziyu and Alice were responsible for keeping watch, driving away at least three sneaky figures tonight. To avoid provoking local thugs, Su Ziyu did not mercilessly kill them, but breaking some arms and legs was inevitable.
"Would you like some?" Alice offered a plate of delicious snacks.
Su Ziyu shook his head, saying, "No need."
Unlike other female warlocks who felt uneasy, Alice seemed very relaxed, not worried at all.
"These are just little troubles."
"If we wanted, we could easily kill them all." Alice lifted her skirt and sat on the railing, lightly swinging her fair legs.
This female warlock had a dangerous aura.
"Is that so?" Su Ziyu’s gaze was drawn to her fair legs but quickly looked away.
He felt the clover talisman on his chest move and instantly became serious, whispering, "Seems like something unclean is approaching."
Alice didn’t notice anything but prudently stood behind Su Ziyu.
Buzz.
A hint of cold light shot out.
The next second, a shadow fell from the rooftop next door, quickly disappearing from sight.
It moved unbelievably fast!
Since Su Ziyu came to this world, he hadn’t seen someone move at such speed.
"Vampire!..." Alice’s expression was a bit heavy, murmuring, "Didn’t expect to encounter them so soon."
"I’ll go notify Lady Inid."
Van Helsing had shared his experiences fighting vampires with Su Ziyu; even as an experienced demon hunter, he had no advantage against vampires. Their speed was too fast, their strength great, some could turn invisible, and certain high-tier vampires weren’t necessarily killed even if decapitated.
"Vampire, huh?" Su Ziyu jumped over the wall, catching his flying knife and noted its dried blood, murmuring, "Very fast."
"Wonder how their strength compares to mutants?"
Throughout his journey, Su Ziyu had faced numerous non-human monsters, but vampires never quite instilled fear in him — just curiosity about whether they possessed source power value.
"This thing is quite handy."
He took out the clover talisman from his chest, looked at it, and put it back.
This peculiar item had only one function, ’Detect Evil,’ but it was incredibly useful, surpassing Su Ziyu’s perception ability.
