Ahhh! Aahh! I see a shape.
My guide, I see your voice, clearly, as it bends and bleeds.

Thank you. For everything…
Really, I used to be nothing…"
Alfred, Hunter of Vilebloods dialogue:
Talk about Corrupted Vilebloods first time
"Ah-hah! There’s something I want to tell you. A bit of a wisdom from the eminent Master Logarius.
Once, a scholar betrayed his fellows at Byrgenwerth and brought forbidden blood back with him to Cainhurst Castle.
It was there that the first of the inhuman Vilebloods was born,
The Vilebloods are fiendish creatures who threaten the purity of the Church’s blood healing.
The rule of the Vilebloods is still alive today, and so to honor my Master’s wishes,
I search for the path to Cainhurst Castle."
Select "Talk about Byrgenwerth"
"Byrgenwerth is an old place of learning. The tomb of the gods, carved out below Yharnam, should be familiar to every hunter.
Well, once a group of young Byrgenwerth scholars discovered a holy medium deep within the tomb.
This led to the founding of the Healing Church, and the establishment of blood healing.
In this sense, everything sacred in Yharnam can be traced back to Byrgenwerth.
But today, the college lies deep within a tangled wood, abandoned and decrepit.
And furthermore, the Healing Church has declared Byrgenwerth forbidden ground.
It's unclear how many of its scholars remain alive… …but only they know the password that allows passage through the gate."
