Chapter 276: Chapter 271 Liu Zheng: You’re Being Presumptuous"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
Beethoven immediately shook his head.
"Foreigner, you might not be aware, but Beastification Disease has existed in Yate for a long time. It was the introduction of Blood Healing by the Church that brought the disease under effective control,"
he explained.
"Is this so-called effective control what you’re referring to as a city-wide curfew?"
Liu Zheng asked, his expression peculiar as he gestured towards the homes lit with red lanterns.
"It is a necessary measure,"
Beethoven sighed.
"In these forty years, the Pale Night has occurred twice. But what you don’t know is that before the Church implemented Blood Healing, there would be small outbreaks of Beastification Disease nearly every month,"
he said.
"What exactly is the blood used in this ’Blood Healing’?"
Liu Zheng inquired.
"That, I am not particularly clear about."
Beethoven’s gaze flickered.
Liu Zheng, with his keen perception, naturally didn’t miss this subtle abnormality,
"You don’t know, or you’re unwilling to say?"
he asked directly.
"I am merely a warrior, not a scholar,"
Beethoven sighed as he spoke.
"Then let us communicate in the way of warriors. Show me whether your sword is as pure as the moonlight,"
Liu Zheng raised the Slaughter Knife, pointing it at Beethoven.
"Arrogant!"
The "Holy Sword" Hunters became enraged at the sight.
For Master Beethoven to be pointed at with a weapon in front of them was an immense disgrace.
"A very lovely line of poetry,"
Beethoven himself seemed intrigued.
Though he was not fond of scholarly re
If it were just Yate residents turning into beasts, the "Holy Sword" Hunters could still manage.
But when it came to those Ancient Monsters in the Tommer Ruins, the dirty descendants in the Abandoned Stronghold, or even the nightmarish higher beings, they were powerless.
"Pale Night."
The ominous term flashed through Beethoven’s mind.
As one who had participated in the Great Hunt, he couldn’t help sensing that this affair was intricately connected to the higher beings, even if he subconsciously refused to delve deeper.
Without Germain and Maria, could he still raise the Moonlight Greatsword to hunt a true higher being if it appeared?
Even if he really could, what about the next Pale Night?
Who would take up the Moonlight Greatsword and continue to protect the people of Yate?
"Would you like to become my apprentice, young man?" Beethoven suddenly asked.
"Huh?"
Liu Zheng, who had been contemplating his next move, was stupefied.
So were the "Holy Sword" Hunters.
Wasn’t it supposed to be a duel? How did it turn into accepting an apprentice?
Wasn’t their communication a bit too smooth?
If it weren’t for the fact that they revered Master Beethoven, they might have suspected that the two had known each other for a long time and were just putting on an act.
"So, uh, even though I know I’m a martial arts prodigy and blessed with exceptional talent, isn’t it a bit presumptuous of you to want to take me as your disciple just like that?"
Liu Zheng scratched his head as he spoke.
