Blood of the Hunting God

It's not that no one tried to eliminate this place and make the capital of the stars more beautiful.For example, Galalosi, who used to be in charge of external affairs, did this. He bluntly slaughtered all the residents in the slums, turning them all into sacrifices to the star gods regardless of the reason.This horrible move brought great turmoil to the entire city, and it was one of the direct reasons why Galalothi was replaced by Philip for external affairs authority. More trouble came, so after Philip took over the management of Star Capital, the Kungfu slums flourished again for about a few decades.

but,

It is not appropriate to say "prosperity", at least for people who live in slums and cannot leave, they definitely do not want this kind of "prosperity".

And at this moment, in this slum full of rubbish and dilapidated houses, in an unremarkable small shanty, in a stinking dug sewer entrance, a hand suddenly stretched out from it .

"Phew...here we are, it's here."

Monrodais crawled out of the sewer, carefully checked the door lock of the house, and then checked the windows that were nailed by wooden boards. After making sure that no one outside could see the situation in the house, he breathed a sigh of relief. He whispered behind him.

The hunter jumped up directly, then turned around and grabbed Abigail who jumped up, and pulled the girl up as well. The two checked the situation of the room again, and then sat down to rest for a while.

"Well, you two heroes, do you need tea or something? Hey, no, I don't have any tea here. Would you like some mouse cake? Ah, that's not right. Those who haven't eaten those things are easy to get sick. Come on, that..."

Monrodais, who stood there scratching his head, spoke incoherently, not knowing how to face the two people in front of him.

"You don't need to call us heroes, I'm Abigail, just call me Abby, Mr. Hunter is Mr. Hunter, you can just call him Hunter."

Abigail reached out and wiped the stains on her cheeks. Seeing the young man's cautious look, she smiled and said to him.

"Ah, uh, you can speak with this kind of attitude to someone like me. It really is the hero in the storybook. Oh, no, it should be, ah, Mr. Abi? Hey, it doesn't seem right, no, no, hey Why?"

It seems that the other party will not be able to adapt to the situation for a while.

At this moment, it was almost dawn.

After the hunter and Abigail rescued Montrodes, they roughly explained the situation on their side, about overthrowing the church and killing the master of the starry sky.I don't know how Monrodez understood it. In short, the two became "Master Heroes", and then under the leadership of Monrodez, they tried to find a way in some imperceptible corners of the sewer. The codes of the hunters were left behind, and some processing was carried out, and some codes of scavengers were added around to mix them up, so as to guide the companions who might enter the sewer.

Although it is also considered that the two people will separate and one will go back to meet their companions, and the other will follow Monrodez to the other's residence to develop a ground base.However, both Hunter and Abigail are easy to get lost in the intricate sewers, and the hunter vaguely senses that a powerful enemy has entered the underground area. At this time, returning to the Eternal City has a great possibility of directly colliding with the opponent. Therefore, he could only temporarily give up such a plan.

"Take a break, and then I will find a way to go out to find out the news and confirm the situation. Mr. Hunter, you can go to the sewer to find other people."

In this hut piled with all kinds of rags, Abigail said to the hunter after thinking for a while.

"..."

The hunter didn't give an answer, but just stared at the girl, his worry was evident in it.

"It's okay, Mr. Hunter, don't underestimate me. I have experienced many things in the past six months, and I have the power to protect myself, so I won't be unable to cope with this situation."

Abigail sighed, stretched out her finger, and tapped the head of the hunter sitting beside her.The force was neither light nor heavy, just like the girl's dissatisfaction, it was passed on to the hunter in a flat manner.

To be honest, even if the other party has indeed grown, the hunter is still not at ease to let Abigail act alone.

It's just that, in the current situation, it seems that he can't afford to be partial like this.

"...Is it really all right?"

After hesitating for a moment, the hunter asked again, his gaze drifted secretly to Montrodes, who was standing awkwardly not far away, who didn't dare to talk to them.

"no problem."

Abigail nodded solemnly, with a very serious expression on her face.

"……it is good."

After nodding slightly, the hunter didn't say anything else, just sat on the spot and rested for a while. After some light leaked from the gap in the window, he stood up and jumped directly to the man-made sewer entrance next to him. .

Finding lost teammates is not suitable for Abby, the hunter must act alone.

Relatively speaking, if you want to confirm the situation in this city, a dangerous element like a hunter who is taciturn and exudes a strong aura anytime and anywhere is easy to be noticed. In contrast, Abigail, who is only a child, can do to more things.

This is the most suitable arrangement for the current situation.

"That, Master Abi? Master Hunter, what is he doing?"

Not far away, Montrodes asked cautiously. With that attitude, Abi guessed that if he showed a slightly unhappy expression, this man would kneel on the ground and kowtow to himself begging for mercy without hesitation.

"Mr. Hunter, he has his own things to do."

Standing up, the girl looked around the room, and finally fixed on a dirty rag bag.

Pick it up, tear a small slit, and take out the needle and thread in the tool box that you carry with you, and slightly

After a little modification, Abigail changed herself into a dirty little cloak that could cover her whole body.

Well, just that might not be enough.

Frowning and thinking carefully, Abigail stretched out her hand and rubbed it on the ground again, and wiped the dust and sand directly on her face and hair, making her originally glamorous long golden hair become more beautiful. It was dirty and dark, and his small face was as ugly as a refugee in a war zone.

As far as the degree of camouflage is concerned, this can only be regarded as making do, but the existing conditions can only be like this.

Abigail is more or less self-aware about her appearance, and hunters have also mentioned this point. For example, William said that if a child like Abigail lives in the capital of stars, she only needs to confirm that she is not a nobleman. In less than three days, she will be kidnapped by the slave traders of the business group and the human traffickers of the gangsters. Of course, it is also possible for the nobles to directly arrest her or be kidnapped by the church as a sacrifice. Because the girl's appearance itself has reached a level of beauty that can leave a deep impression on people at a glance.

There was only the original sustenance house, a place that attracted the attention of the whole town. Abigail could live in it without worrying about some bad sights, but even so, William still dealt with some relatively bad hunters at that time.By the way, those guys who are not as good as beasts were imprisoned, but they were affected by the explosion in the monster invasion battle that destroyed Xingkong Town, and none of them survived.

As for what to say later, the hunters on the frontier have experienced so many things, and have basically seen strong winds and waves. Even if they have some bad habits, they will not have any thoughts on Abigail, who is too young, so they will not Something bad happened.

However, now in the capital of stars, the situation is completely different.No matter how high the civilization on this land once developed, the city is actually just a backward feudal land, where power prevails and laws collapse.Abigail knew very well that if she appeared on the street in her original form, she would definitely attract a lot of unnecessary attention and trouble.

Speaking of which, that Karnis also said that when I grow up, I will probably be a troublesome woman or something.Well, what a disgusting statement...

Forget it, now is not the time to think about such things.

Gathering her thoughts, the girl looked at Montrodes, who was restless beside her.

"Mr. Monrodice."

"Oh, no, no, no, you don't need to call me Mr., you can just call me Dace, or you can also call me the nickname 'rotten shit luck'."

As a result, just after calling his name, the other party showed an even more disturbed expression.

"I'm not a big shot, so don't be so cautious with me. In short, I need to go outside to find out the situation. Can I ask you to cooperate and make up a suitable identity? Well, you should also pay attention to the issue of address."

Sighing, Abigail walked to the window while talking, looking at the dilapidated streets where people gradually started to move under the rising moonlight.

Chapter 32: Reconnaissance

A round of moonlight shines on the earth among the stars.

For a city that has lost its sun, this is the moment of daytime. For those who can no longer remember how the real sun shines, this kind of twilight is already an extremely bright scene.

Ordinary people live the lives of ordinary people, nobles continue to enjoy the fun of nobles, believers in the church continue to pray, and in the slums in the corner of the city, a petite figure in a cloak appeared on the dirty street superior.

"Is this the slums of Star Capital?"

Abigail looked around, frowning slightly.

Sewage and garbage alternately scattered on the street. The originally clean stone floor has become tattered here, with deep and shallow potholes everywhere.

There was an unbearable stench in the air. Although it didn't reach the level of the sewer, it still gave people a rather bad feeling.

As for the buildings, to be honest, the buildings here seem to Abigail to just use wood planks and mud to make up a rectangle and square, which is not a thing of architecture at all.Not only that, there are even some residents who can't even own a building of this level, and can only sleep in dilapidated, rotten houses that don't even have a roof. They don't know what to do when it rains.

However, I didn’t see any homeless people sleeping on the street. According to the scavenger Montrodes, there were actually quite a lot of homeless people sleeping on the streets in the slums of the Star Capital, but after the church started to enforce the curfew a few months ago , All these people were gathered and killed, so now I can't see those people.

Incomprehensible.

Abigail didn't understand why the church had any reason to hurt poor people who didn't even have a home.

Are these bastards who serve the star gods really devoid of the basics of humanity?

They must be eradicated completely.

Abigail, who secretly made up her mind, scanned the entire slum building complex, and finally landed on the highest point of the entire slum building, a five-six-story building that seemed to be fairly well-built. .

From there, you should be able to observe the surrounding situation.

"Dais, who does that building belong to?

"

Abigail looked at the scavengers who stood beside her a little cautiously.

For the first investigation, the girl chose to let these locals follow her.The reason is that, firstly, I don’t know much about this place, and having a local person with me can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles; secondly, to be honest, Abigail still doesn’t trust him very much, and she has to make sure that this man is in her own place. Within sight so he doesn't run off to snitch or something.Although this possibility should not be great from the perspective of the previous relationship, but the vigilance we should have should not be lost.

"Hero... Ah, no, that, Miss Abby, that is the territory of the [Bloodfinger Gang]. It was originally a building built by a businessman in this area, and it seems that they are planning to develop a new trade zone or something here. Yes, the businessman drowned in the moat just after the building was completed, and then followed Tabor, the boss of the Bloodfinger Gang, to occupy that building, and most of their entire gang usually lives in that building."

"Well, Miss Abby, are you going to kill this gang and kill them all? Will this be a little eye-catching or something?"

Daisy, who struggled with addressing for a while, said to Abigail in thought, and became a little excited unconsciously while talking.

Abigail didn't know who the "hero" in this man's heart was, and when he ran to a strange place, he would kill this or that gang as soon as possible.But from his expression, it can be seen that the reputation of the Bloodfinger Gang should not be very good, and he probably did a lot of annoying things.

"Bloodfinger Gang?"

The girl recalled the information she got from the priest Marman before they set off.

The priest summed up all the information he knew about Star Capital, including the Bloodfinger Gang.

As the low-level force in the entire star capital, the Bloodfinger Gang is not a good guy. This gang runs casinos, women's branches, lends money, extorts money, buys anti-drugs, smuggles, etc., and also engages in various assassinations It is not an exaggeration to say that the service is bad.

Tabor, the leader of the Bloodfinger Gang, is undeniably a rotten guy, but he's also a smart guy.This guy hooked up with the United Business Group by some means, accepted the secret entrustment of the big business group, killed many speakers and organizers of the small business groups that were united, and thus expanded his business a lot.

Previously, the hunters tried to get on the way of the Bloodfinger Gang through the alpha wolf, and used their smuggling route to sneak into the Star Capital. As a result, the alpha wolf was obviously not very smart and chose to entrap them. As a result, the route was not connected, and they was also attacked.Of course, after all, the strength is still here, the so-called attack did not produce any effect, and the wolf who was trying to escape was activated by the sacrificial imprint in his body under Alhazred's spell, directly It became a snack for 【Black Beast】.

If you want to know the situation around here, the Bloodfinger Gang, as a larger local force, is really worth investigating.

However, they have a relationship with the joint business group, and the business group has a relationship with the nobles and the church above.If she can't handle the situation well and an accident occurs, maybe the hunting god team will have problems on her side.

You have to play it safe.

"Dais, can you take me for a walk around the slums?"

Make sure of your surroundings first.

Take a step forward and walk on this dilapidated street.

The girl's eyes were covered under the cloak, silently observing the surrounding situation.

"What's there for?"

"Oh, it's from a butcher shop, but it's basically expired meat and rat meat..."

"What about these?"

"Well, this is the room where the night watchmen stay, they are not easy to mess with..."

While walking and asking questions, the girl secretly wrote down various situations around the street.

Hmm, there seems to be a secret whistle on the roof over there. Was it made by members of the Bloodfinger Gang?Or is the church so cautious that it sets up secret sentries on every street?

Can you notice that many eyes are focused on yourself, and even though you are disguised, you are still a bit conspicuous?

No, it's probably because of this guy next to him that he stands out.

After all, at this moment, although Montrodes had tried his best to conceal that he was acting as usual, his subconscious respectful attitude was still obvious.

Because I'm still young, so I can't hide it properly?Or is there no way to avoid this instinctive behavior because of the sense of dignity and inferiority that has been carved into his bones?

No matter which one it is, it will cause great disadvantages to the current investigation operations.

"Let's go this way."

Abigail looked towards the gloomy and dark alley.

"Ah... but the words in this alley..."

Monrodais froze for a moment, and hesitated for a while.

The alleys in the slums are not a good place. There are many bad guys active in this dark area. Even as a local, if he enters it rashly, he will be easily caught by the gangsters at the bottom of the gang. And some other messy people are watching.

"There are a few people who have been following us all the time, so it is convenient to have a good chat with them."

Abigail, who had no expression on her face, spoke calmly, and stepped into the alley in front of her first.

Diffuse

The stench in the slums became stronger in the alleys.As long as she lowered her head a little, Abigail could see solidified things piled up on the ground, a mixture of all kinds of garbage and excrement, as well as some black marks that seemed to be blood, which looked very ominous.

tread--

The girl who didn't show any discomfort stepped into the depths of the alley.

And behind her, at the entrance of this alley, three figures had stepped into it, walking towards her directly.

Chapter 33: Deeper

Two minutes later, Abigail walked out of the alley and walked towards the other side of the street with a calm expression.
