Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 510 Foreign Aid
Seventeenth century Europe was a place full of chaos and death.

The contradiction between the feudal monarchy and the entire society, or the struggle for power between the feudal monarchy and the budding capitalist upstarts, became increasingly fierce... This triggered a universal crisis of social change in almost all of Europe.

Various rebellions, uprisings, civil wars... broke out one after another on the European continent, and there were many kings who were killed during those years.

In addition to causing a large number of direct deaths, years of war have undoubtedly caused long-term damage to the economy and trade. Coupled with diseases, religious persecution, etc., the lives of ordinary people will naturally not be easy.

Thomas Hobbes once described that era in his book Leviathan: "... the worst of all was the constant fear and danger of violent death, when people's lives were lonely, poor, dirty, brutish, and short..."

As we say here, this is called a time of chaos and devastation, and every time there is such a time, it is usually the time when demons and evil spirits in the world are active.

Where there is evil, there must be good.

In the Central Plains, there are the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. In Japan, there is also the tradition of Onmyoji. So what about the West? Well, although the organization and teaching are generally loose, they do have some mysterious organizations that are responsible for dealing with some supernatural issues over there.

The witch hunters, vampire hunters, psychics, exorcists, etc. that you hear about in some folk stories mostly refer to this group of people.

But as we said just now, these people are not very organized. They are the type who like to work on their own in normal times, and only come out from all corners when something big happens. So let alone communication between different organizations, even those from the same clan may have nothing to do with each other.

For example, some "demon hunters" have good family backgrounds, strong abilities and good luck. After several years, they may become nobles or wealthy tycoons in a certain country. Then they don't need to go to the front line in person. They just need to secretly fund a group of disciples who do this, and then package their lineage into some kind of enterprise.

Over time, your peers may not even know what you do.

Some people may rely on institutions such as the church, hold a nominal position as a clergyman, and use the church's intelligence network to attack everywhere.

Of course, the church itself is also a place of quite dark political struggles. Just according to the official historical records... there are countless incredible historical injustices such as the so-called "demon possession incidents" and "witch hunts" that were artificially created within the church in order to fight for power, and countless innocent people have been cruelly persecuted as a result.

But we will talk about this later when we have the chance, and also about these demon hunters...

In fact, the most common ones are some "knight-errant" type characters, just like the knights in the Central Plains martial arts world, traveling everywhere and helping people "solve problems."

If they encounter demons and evil spirits, they will take care of them, and if they encounter bullies and bandits, they will not be polite.

Anyway, whether they kill the former or the latter, they may be able to earn some income from them, so why not do it?

And Tyrael's "master" is a "Ranger".

Yes, the book says that at this point, we are finally going to get down to business.

As mentioned in the previous document, the reason why Tyrael was resold to Daquan as "goods" was because he was killed at sea and separated from his original "master".

His master's name is very long, and it would take a long time to describe it in full. I will not go into details here, but the abbreviation for him is Nicholas Roman, so we will just call him Roman in the documents below.

If we were to describe Roman, he would be roughly a European version of Hai Cangfeng, and a kind-hearted "hero"; but since Europe was quite turbulent at the time, his life was certainly not as comfortable as Hai Cangfeng's.

It was while wandering around that Roman met Tyrael, who was being transported as a slave. He saw that Tyrael had great talent, so he "bought" Tyrael's ownership.

In those days, this "master-servant relationship" or "ownership relationship" was actually a kind of protection for Tyrael, because if he didn't have a "master", he might be caught on the street for no reason and sold as a commodity again, just like when he first appeared.

Roman is Tyrael's master, but in reality they are both teacher and friend. In front of outsiders, he usually calls Tyrael a servant, but in fact the two are comrades-in-arms who can trust their lives with each other.

Tyrael learned several languages ​​from Roman (of course, he only knew the basics, not everything), and also learned a lot of knowledge related to demon hunting. He can be said to be a very reliable and excellent assistant.

However, such days were broken in a shipwreck, and everyone knows about Tyrael's experience of being stranded in the world.

Until last year, something happened in a place called Transylvania in Eastern Europe. The ranger organization that Roman originally belonged to heard about it and sent some people to deal with it.

But after several teams went there, there was no news at all, and they realized... this matter seemed to be a little big.

Then someone thought of using the precious "teleportation spell" to directly "summon" some of the most elite people in the organization.

The combination of Roman and Tyrael is one of the "elite" recognized by the organization... However, when he was "teleported" last time, Tyrael was still in the capital city fighting against the Thirteen Deadly Zodiac Signs with everyone, so he finally said goodbye to Roman and said that he would find a way to meet up with them after the things in Central Plains were resolved.

After the incident of the dead zodiac sign, Tyrael helped Huang Donglai bring the Jiuyi Cauldron and Budongzi's last words back to Xuanqi Sect, and then prepared to travel back to Eastern Europe alone.

But Miao Yinzi thought: This won’t do. With your condition, you will most likely get into trouble along the way. Besides, you have contributed to the cause of exorcising demons in the Central Plains. Now that you are in trouble in the West, we in the Central Plains Taoism should also show our appreciation, right?

So, in the end, Miao Yinzi went to Mount Emei to seek help from a group of fellow Taoists, set up a large formation, and "transmitted" it back to Tyrael.

Originally, the matter might have ended there, but unexpectedly, Tyrael's trip happened to miss the departure day of the previous team... the team that Roman was in.

Simply put, people there couldn't wait any longer and didn't know when he would be able to come back, so they gathered another team to go out.

This "elite" team was gone for several months without any news.

Now, the organization is anxious...

Because there is no one left.

Think about it, Roman and Tyrael are both elite, so how many people are there in their "Ranger Organization" and what their overall combat strength is... it is easy to imagine.

In addition, European countries are currently experiencing civil unrest, and they cannot contact people from other organizations. What should they do?

Hey, Tyrael suggested at this time: "Well... can we 'summon' two foreign aids from the Central Plains?"

Is there anything wrong with that?

There are only a few old guys left in the organization who can hardly walk, so we have to do it even if we have no choice.

So the old men used up their last bit of belongings and took advantage of another opportunity to open a portal to summon two "foreign aid" who were so terrifying that they had no idea how terrifying they were.

Just like that, Sun and Huang, who had been using the toilet in the Cao Gang's mountain stronghold just a moment ago, found themselves in an open-air camp in Eastern Europe in the blink of an eye.

They were also confused at the time, wondering how the sky suddenly turned dark? There were tents, bonfires, and a few strange foreigners around them. Is this still China?
Just as they were puzzled, two rows of big white teeth suddenly flashed out from the darkness.

"Hey! Sun! Huang! Long time no see!" Tyrael walked up to them and greeted them in Chinese with a smile.

Finally seeing an acquaintance, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai came to their senses and realized belatedly what had happened to them...
