Nuomiguo looked at Jack Baldo: "So, I'm wondering, how did Mr. Baldo come to the empire?"

Jack Baldo thought carefully and replied: "I only knew that as soon as I opened my eyes, I was lying on the beach of Smokey Lake - I seemed to have been brought here by the lake.

As for what happened further back, I really don’t remember anything at all.”

Chen Yan felt itchy in his heart and asked Jack Baldo: "Jack, did you really come from that... [Light Will Go Out] era? How long ago was that? It sounds like an epic of creation... Could it be?

Hundreds of thousands of years ago?”

Jack Baldo looked confused: "How could it be so long...I really forgot."

The confusion in his eyes didn't seem fake at all.

Nuomiguo thought: "If he really came from the era before the Deep Sea Age, it would be too unbelievable... It was an era of chaos that spanned at least a thousand years."

Chen Yan thought for a while, thousands of years didn't seem to be too long...

But when I think about it carefully, it seems to be quite long.

In other words, there is a country named [Lordland] on a continent very far away from the empire. Their history is:

[The light will be extinguished] - [Deep Sea Age] named after the end of the world - [The age of prosperity again now] where unknown heroes add fuel to the fire and bring light

The history of Yanan City is short, and Chen Yan only knows now:

[The era when lycanthropy was rampant in Yanan City thousands of years ago] - [Today's steam industry era].

There is no record of Yharnam before lycanthropy in history. According to public knowledge, the relevant classics were all burned in that disaster.

After straightening out his thoughts, another question appeared in Chen Yan's mind.

"Jack, you just said you [will be burned to ashes]...what do you mean?"

Jack Bardo glanced at the apple soup in front of Chen Yan, smacked his lips and said:

"Fire can not only bring light to people, but also bring strength."

Jack Baldo seemed to be saying something very ordinary.

"Use yourself as firewood and burn it, and you will gain extraordinary power."

Chen Yan frowned and said, "What are you talking about... I didn't see you on fire either?"

Jack Baldo glanced at the cold apple soup in front of him again, this time he went even further, and even made a clear gesture of swallowing.

Chen Yan pushed the apple soup in front of him.

He grinned with an ugly bright smile, drank the apple soup in one gulp, and then said with satisfaction:

"I am not a normal human being, and I am different from ordinary undead people."

"I was able to ignite myself for a brief period of time to gain some strength... albeit only for a moment."

"The price...is the acceleration of the transformation into living corpses."

Chen Yan didn't understand the internal logic of these three sentences at all.

How can you gain strength by igniting yourself?

How can it become a living corpse after burning?

After burning, shouldn't it turn into ashes...

Nuomi Guo showed a thoughtful expression:

"There seems to be a legend about this ability in Rodran...but that legend only exists in myths passed down by people orally, and is not recorded in documents, so there is no way to know the detailed process and principles."

Jack Baldo grinned and said to Chen Yan:

"Even if I have used the power of fire, you don't have to worry about me turning into a living corpse, because I have created a unique secret method-as long as I suck incense ignited with special blood before I completely lose my mind, I can escape from the state of a living corpse.

!”

Chen Yan suddenly remembered the story told by Geralt Sif at night in the zoo, and subconsciously asked: "That... blood-stained cigarette, whose ashes are used? And whose blood is the blood?"

The other three were stunned for a moment, unable to realize what Chen Yan was asking.

Chen Yan immediately added to Jack Baldo: "I'm really sorry, I have to ask these things clearly."

Even though they are here...you can't force them to leave, right?

Not to mention that they still have vital information.

No matter what, let him stay first.

As for the troubles he brought... we will talk about the future later. At least for now, it seems that welcoming Jack Baldo's arrival will do more good than harm.

Jack Baldo understood what Chen Yan meant.

If you want to live in this apartment, you should at least know the identity of the tenants - even in the worst "pig pen" complex in downtown, the landlord will investigate the identity of the tenants - let alone the bustling area of ​​Walker Street

, close to Apartment 33, Birmingham Street.

"The blood that lights the incense comes from a woman."

Jack Baldo calmly said these words that made Chen Yan unable to calm down.

"That woman's name is Marina, she's a corner girl."

Although he had already guessed this result, Chen Yan still felt very complicated when he confirmed the matter from Jack Baldo.

Ogami also knew about this. He glanced at Chen Yan and saw that Chen Yan looked melancholy, as if he was thinking about something, so he did not interrupt.

Jack Bardo continued: "As for the ashes...the ashes are actually a type of aromatherapy."

"Actually, I don't know where this kind of ashes came from. When I was carried ashore by the tide of Smokey Lake, the ashes were hanging on my waist."

Chen Yan paused and interrupted: "Did you bring anything else with you when you came ashore?"

Jack Baldo nodded: "He was also wearing a suit of onion-shaped armor and a black big sword... Actually, the sword was not big, only half a man tall.

It looks intimidating, but is actually very difficult to use.

Because it was too heavy, I had no chance to draw the sword when facing most Imperial people.

By the time I raised my sword, the enemy had already shot me in the head with a gun.

So I hardly use that sword."

The belongings he mentioned should be among the junk he just moved into the apartment.

After he finished speaking, he asked curiously: "How do you know about the blood and ashes? I have never told anyone about this."

Chen Yan calmed down and told him the story told by Geralt Sif.

"Ah...I see, there is such a thing. Unfortunately, I had already begun to turn into a living corpse at that time, and I don't remember the young man who accidentally broke in."

Jack Bardo sighed:

"I had just met Marina at that time, and she was still working under the coercion of the Powder Keg Gang... It was not a job she liked, so I thought of a way to help her escape."

Chen Yan felt dizzy.

I see!

No wonder the hunter of the Powder Keg Gang, Ryan Gama, said that Jack Baldo bullied their corner girl. This was putting it mildly, but the guy actually abducted her!

"This...is right."

Chen Yan calmed down: "That kind of job shouldn't exist in the first place. Only one person can be saved."

When Jack Baldo heard what he said, he immediately became happy: "I think so too!"

He continued: "After I rescued Marlena, I was wanted by those bastards from the Powder Keg Gang. Well... it was unofficially wanted. As a result, I was unable to engage in a public career and could only live in the factory.

...You still have to be careful.”
