Blood of the Hunting God

The cemetery outside the town is more than three times larger than the town, and this is the case when a three-story underground tomb structure was dug underground.

The monsters in the wilderness have killed countless heroes, but there are still new hunters coming every day.The honor of being a hero drives the brave, and the good reward of being a hunter drives the greedy.In a kingdom where civilization is weakening, only front-line towns like Xingkong Town still maintain a lot of vitality.

The vitality piled up with the flesh and blood of heroes.

But today, a slightly strange thing happened, a very strange thing.

That is, the corpse did not come out of the station, but came in from outside the door to the dead.

Oh, sorry, my old folks, the word "corpse" actually refers to the living people in many cases. After all, in Star Town, every hero who walks here will sooner or later turn into a pile of filthy rotten flesh, or Into the belly of some monster, that's why new hunter heroes are always called corpses.

"You said... you stayed in the corruption field for more than ten days, and then walked over?!"

In front of the huge red door, the guards looked at Hunter and Abigail with expressions of disbelief written all over their faces.

I saw a ghost, I really saw a ghost.

There will be people who have no registration records at all come back from outside the corruption field.

Even with the two veteran heroes of Disma and Tardif as guarantees, such a thing is still too weird and unbelievable.

He also said that he entered the corrupt field unintentionally from Baishan Town. Was he just kidding them?There isn't even a road there, could it be that the two, one big and one small, walked hundreds of kilometers through the poisonous swamp?This is using the Corruption Field as a tourist attraction, right?

"If there is no problem, just let the two of them in. If they are really filthy minions, they will not be able to enter this door at all."

Disma, who was already standing inside the door, yawned and said.

"What are you doing dilly-dallyingly, why, you're scared out of your wits, aren't you?"

Tardif on the other side has become a little impatient.

The guards hesitated to take Hunter and Abigail

put in.Although no intelligent monsters have appeared in the corrupt field, these guards have also heard rumors of human skin pretenders polluting the desert and legions of the dead in the scarlet blood field, and know that some filthy incarnations can pretend to be human. Therefore, he refused to make a decision to let people into the town.

"Is it just you two?"

Then, footsteps sounded at this moment, and a middle-aged man with a beard and a strong hound walked to the gate at this moment.

The man was dressed in a sheriff's uniform and was carrying an iron bar full of barbs. He looked quite calm and prestige.The hound next to him stuck out its tongue, looking curiously at the hunter and Abigail standing outside the door.

"What did you keep the door open for, what happened?"

The man came up and asked the guards.

Disma and Tardif both showed expressions of being in trouble, and the guard seemed to have found the backbone at this moment, and hurried up to explain the situation to the man.

After a while, after roughly understanding what was going on, the man came forward and watched the hunter and Abigail through the huge red door.

"I'm the sheriff of this town, William."

While talking, the man reached out and touched the hound beside him.

"As for the girl following me, it's called Fergus, and it can smell who should bite hard and who should let go."

With a tone as if reminiscing with an old friend, the sheriff named William untied a small drinking pot from his pocket.

"I don't know exactly where you are from, but I hope you can understand how suspicious you are. This is not an idyllic resort. This is a front-line town. As a sheriff, I have to be responsible to everyone. I can't do that. Put you in casually, can you understand?"

"However, Disma and Tadif are willing to vouch for you, and I won't make it too difficult for you."

"This jug is filled with purified water from the church. The two of you drink it together. I'll let you go into the town if you're fine."

Then, Hunter and Abigail just entered the town.

There are all kinds of shops on the streets where people come and go, the smoke from the huge weapons workshop can almost cover the entire sky, and the clash of swords and swords can be clearly heard from a long distance away from the training ground. Explosions and the bombardment of guns, and taverns can be seen everywhere, full of laughter, shouts and noise.

"I thought William would make things difficult for you for a while."

Disma said with some emotion, as if he had a deep impression on the sheriff.

"I'm going to submit the booty, let's talk about drinking slowly tonight."

Tardiff took his leave first and disappeared on the other side of the street alone.

"..."

The silent hunter looked around, looking at the streets with people coming and going, showing a somewhat dazed expression.

It seems that I have never seen such a street.

Whether it is a memory that can be recalled or a vague past that cannot be recalled, the people walking on the streets are always twisted and crazy monsters, hideous and terrifying nightmares, not like this, not pedestrians coming and going.

Unexpectedly, there was a very strange and uncomfortable feeling.

But, don't hate it either.

The hunter, who remained silent, seemed to have a slight smile on the corner of his mouth hidden under the mask.

"Drink with Mr. Hunter..."

As for Abigail who was following beside her, her face was blushing at the moment, and she seemed to be a little immersed in her own world.

What Sergeant William had made Abigail and the hunter drink tasted like ordinary water.However, using a drinking prop with the hunter, which is equivalent to an indirect kiss, made the little girl blush and heartbeat for a while, unable to calm down.

"You have no identity, no hunter's hero certificate, no money and no place to live, it can be said that you have nothing at all. If this is the case, you might as well come to my side."

"After all, after running around for so long, taking a hot bath and eating some cooked food with salt are very important enjoyments, aren't they?"

Then, it was an invitation from Disma.

The hunter actually didn't care about this kind of thing, but after hearing that she could take a bath, Abigail was obviously a little bit excited.Noticing this, the hunter nodded in agreement, leading the little girl and Disma to move forward together.Along the way, some passers-by occasionally greeted Disma. It seemed that this man had many friends in the town.

And soon, Disma led the two of them to a three-story, slightly dilapidated house with its own yard near the outskirts of the town.

squeak-

Pushing open the unlocked courtyard door, Disma took a deep breath, and stepped inside after a momentary hesitation that was imperceptible.

"Ah, it's uncle!"

"Uncle Disma is back!"

"Uncle Uncle, welcome home!"

A large group of children surrounded by them almost drowned Disma in the next moment.

There were more than a dozen children, big and small, who looked to be around five or six to eleven or twelve years old, both male and female, laughing and shouting happily around Disma.

Disma, who came with a gentle smile, patted the little head of such a child, said a few words to them casually, then turned around, and looked at Hunter and Abigail who were still standing outside the door.

"Well then, welcome to my home and these children."

"Some people call this house the [House of Sustenance], but we don't like that term."

"In short, if you don't mind, treat this place as your home."

Chapter 31: Children

"Mr. Hunter, Mr. Hunter, is this your weapon? It feels so cool."

"Wow, wow, Mr. Hunter is so handsome, I want this kind of clothes too!"

"Mr. Hunter, Mr. Hunter, hug~ hug~"

The little loli girls from the age of five or six to their teens, young children who worshiped heroes, surrounded the somewhat bewildered hunter, all of them looked very excited.

Especially after learning from Disma that the hunter can eliminate two elite filthy monsters one-on-one, and hold off the appealer Elvis one-on-one, the children even regarded the hunter as an idol. The existence of , I posted it as soon as I got a chance.

After this scene lasted for a while, the hunter began to hang children, one sitting on one shoulder, another on his back, and another holding two hands, but even so, there were still several children around him. spinning around.

Abigail, who was on the sidelines, unknowingly bulged into a bun shape.

"No, don't cause trouble for Mr. Hunter! And, and, and. 'Mr. Hunter' can only be called by me, don't imitate me!"

The blond girl screamed in grief, and finally couldn't help but threw herself in front of the hunter, waving her little hands and trying to drive these children away.

Obviously, only she has been using the way of addressing Mr. Hunter all this time.

What's more, Mr. Hunter took the initiative to hug and carry it.

Abigail, who has been patient and not acting coquettishly because she doesn't want to cause trouble for the hunter, at this moment, seeing these children who are basically much younger than her act so naturally, and the hunter also has no grudges. After the act of responding, I felt uncomfortable.

Unhappy, very unhappy.

"My sister is too greedy, I want to play with Mr. Hunter too!"

"That's right, Mr. Hunter sounds very nice, so don't change it to another name."

"Don't get off Mr. Hunter, hehehe, Mr. Hunter always feels itchy when he touches my head."

Obviously, these kids had no intention of backing down.

Wow, that's too much...

And...and Mr. Hunter, why did you respond so naturally!

If you say you want to hug it, you can hug it, if you want you to touch it, you can touch it. Why are you so obedient to these children, show a little bit of adult majesty!

He stared at the hunter with longing, but when he realized this, the child sitting on the hunter's shoulder immediately hugged the hunter's head, so that the hunter couldn't see Abigail's reaction for a while.Soon, a large group of children hugged the hunter, making the hunter spin around and play in circles, the sound of laughing and laughing sounded very lively.

"Ugh..."

Abigail was really going to cry this time.

Disma, who was discussing dinner with a few hired servants in the living room not far away, couldn't help covering his mouth and chuckling when he saw this scene, and then stepped forward and came behind Abigail.

"If you want to be coquettish, go ahead. Your hunter is obviously the type who doesn't reject other people's intimacy, right?"

Disma walked to Abigail and asked curiously,

"I, I know, I just... don't want to cause trouble for Mister Hunter..."

The very aggrieved little girl squatted on the ground and began to shut herself up, while the hunter on the other side finally noticed the situation here and started to walk forward.

"Children have to look like children, and this is no longer a wilderness of corruption, but a safe place. There is no need to think so much."

After saying this, Disma turned and left, and then Abigail, who heard footsteps, raised her head and met the calm eyes of the hunter who was standing in front of her.

Do you also want to hug your back and hold your back high?

Although she didn't speak, Abigail could see the meaning in the hunter's eyes.

"I, I, I, I don't, I don't have such thoughts..."

The girl who blushed suddenly, hurriedly denied it the next moment.

"Ah, big sister is shy!"

"That's what I said on purpose, I always feel like I've seen this somewhere before."

"Could it be that big sister likes Mr. Hunter?"

Then, the voices of children who added to the chaos sounded around.

Probably because they are basically the orphans of heroes who died in battle, most of these children appear to be more active and lively, as if they have inherited the heroic spirit of their parents to some extent.It's just that when this kind of personality is shown on certain occasions, it seems to somewhat stimulate the nerves of other people.

The hunter was still wondering what Abigail was thinking, but suddenly, the girl covered her ears with her hand and ran away.Although he ran very fast, the hunter could still tell that Abigail's ears were turning red.

Could it be that he is sick again! ?

Some worried hunters did not hesitate, and immediately chased after them. Some lively children wanted to keep them, but

After a while, the hunter refused to let go, and chose to check on Abigail's situation.

But as soon as he walked over and walked through the door of the side room to the dining room, he saw Abigail being hugged by a middle-aged female servant.Well, judging from the posture of the action, it's more like the little girl who covered her ears and didn't look at the road rushed straight into the opponent's body, and then was hugged.

"Hello, Master Hunter, I am the servant hired by Master Disma to take care of these children. You can call me Mona. Dinner is ready, please sit down if you don't mind."

The servant with a gentle smile looks like a middle-aged woman in her 40s, with an ordinary appearance, a somewhat fat body covered under clothes stained with grease and dirt, and thick calluses on her exposed hands. A very simple laborer.

She brought the hunter and Abigail to a somewhat huge dining table, and then left for the kitchen to get busy with the other two servants.

After a while, it was Disma who called all the children over. Together with three servants, more than 30 people gathered in front of a table and ate simple fried eggs, barbecue, vegetable salad and mashed potatoes. meal.The bustling atmosphere made people feel warm, so much so that the hunter couldn't help but smile, and Abigail, who was a little autistic at first, gradually let go a little bit.

On the way, Disma also asked a servant to prepare an extra dinner and brought it up to the second floor. It seemed that there were other children who hadn't come down. However, hunters usually don't take the initiative to ask about the specific situation, and Abigail didn't notice it. , so it passed.

Then the moon completely set, and there was only a little light in the town in the darkness. Abigail opened the bathroom door and looked at a large pot of warm hot water that had already boiled mist. Instantly filled with brilliance.

Finally, I was able to take a good bath.

"Ugh~"
