Blood of the Hunting God

"Yes, but people always have extravagant hopes and hope that such a thing will happen."

Disma, who slowly stood up, seemed to speak with emotion.

"Dreams always wake up."

The bounty hunter, who also had a complicated voice, shook his head.

"When the fuck did you become so artistic?"

Disma turned his head and looked at the other party in surprise and asked.

"I'm literary, your mother."

Tardiff immediately cursed, causing Disma to nod his head involuntarily.

Well, yes, this is the normal painting style of this bounty hunter.

In the middle of the desolate cemetery, the two hunters just stood in place, staring at the small dirt bag in front of them, staring at the dead and silent grave.

The starry sky is dotted, but there is no light falling. In the darkness, only the torch that is still burning quietly can illuminate the silent appearance of the two.

"Speaking of which, Liz is really ordinary."

Disma suddenly spoke again.

"This kind of ordinary girl is very rare in Xingkong Town."

Tardiff also followed suit.

"I always thought she might marry a good man instead of being a hunter."

Having said that, Disma couldn't help reaching out and tapping his head.

"Have you taken a fancy to her?"

Tardiff said in surprise, not knowing how he came to this conclusion.

"I don't have any thoughts on this kind of ordinary village girl. I told her that she was not in the same way, or that few hunters in this town were in the same way as her. Sometimes I don't understand why she You have to come and be this hunter."

Disma denied it very indifferently, and at the same time chattered about some of his own thoughts.

However, it is true.

Obviously, it is not the character that can become a hunter at all.

Nothing to spend money on, no strong desire to hunt monsters.

It's completely like treating this matter as an ordinary job.

But this is not necessary.

Is there anything wrong with being an ordinary person?

To die in a hunt like this, is there a destination worth yearning for?

Disma couldn't understand Lisi's thoughts.

He looked at the happy appearance of this woman among the children, and felt that there was no essential difference between her and people like Mona Linda.Taking care of these children is obviously enough to bring satisfaction to her life, and there is no need for her to continue to take risks as a hunter.

"Well, although I don't know the specific situation, I probably know something about what happened."

Tardiff said at this time with an expression of reminiscence.

"Lisi, girl, um, her family seems to be planning to marry her to a fool from a rich family. I heard that it's because of a lot of money. She didn't like it, so she ran away and came to Xingkong Town. You know , in this place, ordinary people basically exist to serve hunters. The workload is heavy and the money is not much. If they are not particularly able to bear hardships and stand hard work, they may not be able to support themselves. On the contrary, if they choose to become hunters, even if it is auxiliary personnel, and can also earn a lot of money through entrustment.”

"In the beginning, it was just for survival, but later it became a habit. Many hunters are like this. In the beginning, they were not willing to do such dangerous things, but after staying in this industry for a long time, they It's hard to quit because they're used to this way of life."

Tardiff yawned after saying this, and glanced at the gate of the cemetery.

They have been here for a long time, and the night will pass, and the moon will gradually rise.

"Get used to it... It's really scary to get used to it. Sometimes it becomes your instinct if you're not careful..."

Disma, who didn't know what to think of, turned a little gray.

"..."

"..."

Almost at the same time, the two fell into silence together.

Obviously, he was still talking and chatting just now, but suddenly he didn't know what to say.

Disma and Tardif just stood there silently, staring at the small dirt bag, as if they could see those two people standing in front of them again, one talking about when to drink some wine In terms of side dishes, one is discussing what kind of gifts to buy for the children.

Jason, Liz.

They used to exist in this town for a long, long time, but starting today, the traces of their existence will slowly begin to disappear.

Just like those other hunters who used to exist here and finally disappeared, without any exceptions, they disappeared step by step until even the most thorough traces were wiped out, leaving only A name on the next monument, when a person who comes later sees it, it is impossible to think of the person represented by the name, and it is impossible to imagine the appearance and character of the person with this name. That's all that's left.

As for Disma and Tardif, from now on, they are also one of the remaining traces of these two people. They belong to the companions who have passed away, and they continue to be one of the traces that can prove that they once left in this world.

"At least, they're back."

That's all Disma said in the end.

"Not leaving them in that corrupt place."

"They came back to this place, to this town, this home to them...and me...and the children..."

"They were brought back in the end, so, that's enough..."

Turn around, and leave slowly like this. "

This is how the stories belonging to the dead ended.

And those who are alive still have to continue on the road ahead, continue on the road that has not been completed, the road left in their lives.

Fragment 1-08: A Day in the Sengway's Gang

gang.

For hunters, this is nothing new.

Hunting monsters has never been an easy task. Fighting alone is always easy to face various problems.Unity is a good way, and it is a good way to solve various difficulties.

Because of this, hunters tend to form various small teams.Of course, it is easy to have problems when entering the corruption field due to the limitation of too many people, and it is easy to attract those monsters because of too many people gathered, so this kind of small group is generally composed of three or four people or six or seven people , a relatively loose small team.However, there are also some hunters who are relatively united. They will form a relatively large team and form a certain organizational scale, thus forming a few relatively strong teams with a few weaker teams. Acting together, sharing resources and cooperating with each other to a certain extent, etc.

And such a team is often called a "gang" by the people around them.

The small team formed by Sengwi is such a gang.

Well, even though that's the case, it's not actually a complete gang.After all, in essence, this team was formed by Sengwi himself, a relatively loose hunter with many teams working together.

Compared with the real first-line hunters, their strength is still obviously much weaker. Only Sengwi himself can be regarded as relatively powerful, but compared with the top powerhouses in Starry Sky Town like Dismatadev, the gap is still quite obvious.

However, Sengwei has a skill that others do not have. He is a retired soldier and has a certain understanding of tactical command, so he dares to lead the team to find those more powerful monsters in the wilderness, and then lure and team members through traps. Cooperate, so as to achieve victory over the strong with the weak, and complete some dangerous commissions to get a lot of rewards.

In order to find out the best cooperation needed for different hunting commissions, Sengwe has dealt with many hunters, and as long as the hunters under his leadership can be obedient and do nothing, they can get very good results in the end. As a result, Sengwi's reputation has gradually grown, and many people are willing to call him the boss.Among them, there are people of the three religions and nine streams, and some hunters with not particularly good conduct, but Sengwei himself doesn't care very much. After all, isn't the so-called loyalty of the rivers and lakes like this?

Just like this time, under the rising moonlight, Sengwei returned to Xingkong Town with his team. Just after passing through the gate of the dead, he could see many hunters who came to congratulate him.

"Boss, the harvest is good."

"Congratulations boss, you have completed another high-level commission."

"Hahaha, can I invite my brothers to drink some wine tonight?"

The gathered hunters, looking at the trophy limbs representing the monster itself behind Sengwei's team, immediately realized that Sengwei had won a big victory this time, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became lively .

"It's alright, it's all been quarreled, all the brothers have worked hard this time, go back and have a good sleep, let's celebrate slowly at the tavern at night

wish. "

Sengwei waved his hand and said while leaving first. As for counting the trophies and going to the hunter's hall to get paid, it is natural that someone he trusts will do it.In this small gang with Sengwei as the core, although the external attitudes are different, everyone inside can trust each other.Those who can't even do things like doing things wholeheartedly for the gang members around them can't live in the circle of Sangwi for a long time.

Anyway, let's get some sleep first.

Sengwe, who had organized a team to hunt in the corrupt field before, was quite exhausted at this moment. He had to be in charge of tactical planning, and he also had to pay attention to arranging different members to ensure that traps were in place. Make various adjustments.To be honest, after such a day, Sengwei's consumption is more than several times that of other members. If it is not for his own physical strength, he may die suddenly in a few days.

However, the hunting harvest this time is not bad. Those monster stumps should be able to exchange for a lot of rewards, which can be enough for their entire team to live happily for a while.

Drinking and eating meat, women and men, this kind of enjoyment is very important for hunters with great mental stress.

Well, of course, it can't all be just chic, and things like training can't be left behind.

Thinking like this, Sangwi walked slowly back to his room.

"Have you heard? The two people brought by Disma are dead, that Jason and Liz."

Then, I accidentally heard such a voice from the street, it seemed that other hunters were discussing something.

Those two from Disma?

Sengwe didn't know much about Jason and Liz, and he didn't even remember their names, but he knew Disma very well.After all, it is considered to be the top three in the entire Xingkong Town, who can beat a lot of hunters with a single combat ability. It is impossible for Sengwei not to pay attention to such a talent.

It's just a pity that although he was very concerned, Sengway was not able to let the other party join his bargaining chip, and several attempts to cooperate were unsuccessful.After all, I haven't been in Xingkong Town long enough. At that time, Disma already had his own regular teammates.Although the strength may not be too strong, it is completely enough for Disma himself, and Sangwi, who is a latecomer, naturally has nothing to do.

Did that guy's teammates die in his mission this time?

This may be a valuable clue.

While opening the door of his own house, Sengwi lowered his head and thought.

Disma's personal combat power is absolutely trustworthy, and that guy's character is not bad. If he can absorb it into his team, it will bring obvious benefits to everyone.Well, but he has been busy with the trust house recently, those orphans are expensive, if he can win Desma into his side, he must try his best to persuade him not to associate with that place in the future , at least you can't give the money earned by the whole team to a group of brats.

To put it bluntly, those things are just a kind of self-satisfaction, just to enjoy the taste of reverence, and there is no meaning other than that. In Sengwi's view, it is better to spend time and energy on a good bottle of wine.

But even though he said so, he always felt that the possibility of persuasion was very low. That Disma usually looked sophisticated, but occasionally he was a little naive in some places.Sengwei is really not sure whether the other party can accept his earnest persuasion, although what he said is basically the truth.

Forget it, don't try to persuade the other party to join.

After all, this Disma's way of doing things may indeed be different from his own.If he really likes that kind of housekeeping life, he doesn't have to stop the other party, just let him go.However, friendship can still be maintained for a while. It is much better to make a friend than to have an enemy.Well, from this point of view, you can donate a little bit of things, such as scones and the like, which children love to eat, and inexpensive affordable things to the sustenance house, so that Disma will be more respectful to his gang. The attitude should be much better, which can lay the foundation for future cooperation.

Ah, I started to think about these things habitually again, tsk, instinct is really hard to change.

Finding himself planning to have a good night's sleep, but now starting to struggle with how to deal with the relationship with Disma, Sengwei felt a little funny, and was deeply impressed by his habitual way of thinking. Helpless.

All right, all right, free your mind, free your mind.

"Ah, get some sleep first."

Sangwi, who was talking to himself like this, fell on his own bed and closed his eyes.

After waking up from sleep, the moonlight has already tilted slightly.

Clean up the hygiene in the house a little bit, exercise a little bit, and make sure that I won't cause problems with my body muscles and the like because of being lazy for almost a whole day.Soon Sengwi left the house and went to the tavern, while his brothers were already waiting for his arrival.

"Boss, you are the only one missing."

At this moment, fellow hunters waved to Sangwi and said.

"Okay,

Then don't wait, come on, everyone cheers, cheers to another victory for us! "

"it is good!!!"

Amidst the cheers, glasses of wine were poured down like this.

Everyone was eating and drinking happily. After they were full, some people continued to drink wine and chat casually, and some people who couldn't wait were ready to find a lovely lady to spend tonight. It's time.

And that's where things got a little different.

"Damn unlucky thing, you rolled out of the shithole, didn't you? Go somewhere else."

He heard the scolding of one of his subordinates.

"Well, what happened?"

Sengwi knew that his subordinate was a bad-tempered guy who would quarrel with others if he disagreed with him.After joining his gang and doing some shady things with his name, he's not a particularly likable guy to be honest.

However, this guy puts a lot of effort into the mission, requires very little reward, and cares about the people around him, so Sengwei still keeps that guy in the team, but he has been warned many times not to always provoke him other people.

In the end, did you have a conflict with someone again this time?

Thinking of this, Sengwei motioned for someone to go up and see the situation, lest the other party cause any trouble.

"Hey, just ignore me, hey, what about you, are you deaf?"

The voice outside the tavern became louder, and his subordinate seemed to become even angrier.
