Blood of the Hunting God

"Sister Abby, let's play together."

The little girl jumped into the room energetically and came to Abigail.

"Don't worry about me, I can just stay here by myself, Xuerong, go play with your friends."

Looking at Pu who was sneaking his head at the door and dared not come in, Abigail smiled and said to Xuerong in front of him.

Speaking of which, when I was in front of Mr. Hunter, I was always able to act like a baby as a child (although I basically didn't act like a baby a few times because I worked hard to restrain myself), but after I arrived at the trust house, because I had a group of younger children, Abigail sometimes has to act like a sister instead.

"Is sister Abby waiting for Mr. Hunter to come back?"

Blinking, Xue Rong, who didn't choose to leave because of the rejection, pointed her chin with her finger and asked.

"Oh, yes."

Abigail nodded.

"Sister Abi cares about Hunter so much, is it because she likes Mr. Hunter?"

Then suddenly, the little girl in front of him brought up an important topic.

"Oh, well, don't ask me this kind of question."

The girl whose face turned rosy instantly wanted to refute instinctively, but after hesitating, she chose to avoid the question.

Speaking of which, it was this kid who asked this question last time, why did he ask such embarrassing words so naturally, I hate it!

"I asked sister Mona, she said that you and Mr. Hunter are not father and daughter, you are not related by blood, right?"

"I heard Pu say that some people will bring the girl they like with them from childhood to adulthood, and then get married. What is it called a child bride? Is Abi's sister Mr. Hunter's child bride?"

Xue Rong with bright eyes didn't notice the girl's shyness and embarrassment, but continued to ask carelessly.

"Ah, I didn't say such a thing, it was Xue Rong who read the little book by yourself!"

Pu, who was hiding outside the room door, protested loudly.

"Tong, Tong's bride? Get married?"

As for Abigail, after a brief daze, her little face became even more flushed.

Wow, I have added knowledge that I don't want to know!

"I, I'm going to tell Aunt Mona that you read unhealthy little books!"

Pu shouted loudly outside the door.

"No, I'm only reading storybooks. Pu, you're reading unhealthy little books. It's full of naked brothers and sisters wrestling and fighting. I'm going to sue Aunt Mona!"

The menacing Xuerong was not afraid, and quarreled with Pu with her hips akimbo.

"What book about fighting, I want to read it too!"

"That's right, don't hide fun things secretly!"

"What kind of book is it? As long as it's not a textbook, I'll read it."

Then, there was a large group of children who were attracted by the sound from upstairs, and the whole room became noisy in an instant.

The quiet environment just disappeared, and he was forced to know news that he didn't want to know.

Holding the hunter's lantern in her arms, Abigail showed a frustrated expression.

"This lamp looks so beautiful, why is it a blue fire, and won't it burn if you hold it?"

A child came over and looked curiously at the note in Abigail's arms.

Lamp, I reached out and wanted to touch it.

"Don't touch it, it belongs to Mr. Hunter."

Then she was slapped away by Abigail who was barking her teeth and claws.

The treasure Mr. Hunter carefully handed over to her hides the secret that Mr. Hunter can be resurrected. Abigail will not let others touch such an important thing.

However, with so many people, it always feels very noisy. Do you want to wait for Mr. Hunter elsewhere?I want to find a quieter place, but the windows of other rooms may not be able to see the position of the gate, so I can't know that Mr. Hunter is back in the first place.

A little, a little bored.

"Okay, okay, don't disturb sister Abby, everyone come out quickly."

Aunt Mona arrived in time, and used her majesty to clear the girl's siege and drive away the children. Afterwards, Abigail simply locked the door to prevent the curious children from entering the house.

The world has returned to cleanliness.

Then, Abigail, who returned to the window, breathed a sigh of relief, looked down and saw the hunter opened the gate of the yard and walked in, surrounded by a group of children.

"Ah, Mr. Hunter!"

Hastily unlocking the door again, the girl ran downstairs in a hurry, of course she didn't forget to lock the door first to prevent any curious kid from sneaking in to touch the hunter's lantern.

Regardless of the lady's etiquette, she ran all the way from the second floor to the first floor. Abigail, who ran to the yard, finally stopped at the sound of Mona's "slow down" reminder when she passed by. A child, in front of the hunter who was surrounded by a group of children at the same time.

"Mr. Hunter, welcome back."

In the soft and sweet voice, Abigail smiled happily at the hunter.

No matter when, no matter what the situation, she will always be waiting for his return.

Feeling the touch of the hunter stroking her hair, the little girl showed a happy expression.

Chapter 66: The Legend of the Holy Grail

"Well...you can't be wrong, these coins are old Luxe coins."

In the Appraisal Bank of Xingkong Town, the old man wearing thick glasses looked at the coins found by Disma and others for a long time, then nodded and said.

"Is it actually an old coin from the country of Luxe? That's really lucky. It's okay to exchange a few gold coins in this box, right?"

Disma, who was standing aside, spoke in surprise, with a rare expression of surprise on his face.

Luxembourg?

The new term, which he hadn't heard before, made the hunter look up a little bit concerned.

"The wear and tear is already very serious. These old coins should be stored as some kind of spell-casting materials, but the magic power left in them has also been exhausted. To put it bluntly, they are a pile of waste products. Even if they are used for recasting, there is probably not much left. thing."

Shaking his head, the old man stretched out his hand, split the silver coin in half, and showed the section to several people present.

"Look, the interior is already empty. The structure of this casting silver coin has been damaged due to the infusion of magic power. I estimate that the recast silver is at most about [-]% of the original."

"One price, 120 silver coins."

The old man who said so made a price very casually.

There are five or six hundred silver coins in this box, and this number can only be exchanged?

Disma frowned immediately.

"No matter what, it's impossible to only be worth this amount, right? 200 is definitely more than enough."

Stepping forward, the hunter started the negotiation very skillfully.

"Don't even think about it, you want me to give you money for nothing, right?"

"Okay, okay, which one of us is with whom, 180, I have dozens of mouths to feed."

"Stop doing this, and give it up to 130. Old man, I also want to earn money to support my family."

"Don't worry, don't worry, let's have a cigarette first, I think 150 is quite suitable."

"Hey, what's the matter with you young man, don't push yourself too hard, 135 is the sky, okay?"

All in all, after a lot of tugging, the box of silver coins was finally exchanged for 140 silver coins made in the Star Country, and the sound of clattering can be heard when walking in the small box.

"Let's share 30 pieces of this money equally, and I'll use the rest for those children and Mona. It's okay."

After exchanging the money, Disma thought for a while before speaking to the two of them.

"no problem."

Tardiff nodded, he didn't consume much in this battle, he just threw a few smoke bombs.

The hunter also nodded in approval. In fact, he would rather leave some more money to improve the lives of those children, but Disma insisted that he would not take less, so he took thirty silver coins and put them on his body.

60 silver coins, this is the number the hunter earned in three days.

For ordinary people in this country, it may take several years to save this money, but the hunter only participated in two missions and earned it.

In a sense, hunters are indeed a profitable industry, killing monsters to earn commission money, exploring various ruins and reselling precious treasures.As long as that life survives, the hunter will always be rewarded handsomely.Of course, the premise is that you can survive.

"Mr. Hunter, it really is very powerful."

Abigail, who followed silently along the way, whispered after leaving the identification line.

sharp?Just now I was just watching from the sidelines, it was Disma who bargained.

Hunter is suspicious

Confused, why did he become so powerful after standing there for a while?

"It's not about that, Mister Hunter has only been around for a day, and he has hunted down powerful monsters to strengthen himself. I think Mr. Hunter is very powerful in this regard."

Seeing the puzzled expression on the hunter's face, the little girl quickly explained.

The echo of blood, this is a kind of invisible power that the hunter obtained from the opponent's body after killing the monster.

Under normal circumstances, hunters have no way to use this kind of power, only when they die, they will notice that the echo of blood will disappear by about 30%.

However, after Abigail walked out of that strange dream, she obtained a strange ability from the puppet lady, which can trigger the echo of blood in the hunter's body and transform it into the hunter's own strength enhancement hunter.

When the hunter returned to the sustenance house before, because the number of echoes of blood was enough to strengthen himself, he asked Abigail to help him strengthen himself.Although the improvement once or twice is not too big, but if it accumulates, it will inevitably transform one day. Both Hunter and Abigail are very sure of this.

"Speaking of which, I didn't expect it to be a relic of the country of Lusse. No one has been to that ghostly place for many years, right?"

Disma, who was walking aside with a cash box, suddenly spoke thoughtfully.

"It's just that not many people go there now."

Tardif yawned casually, and glanced at the taverns on the street.

"Is it the country of Luxe?"

Abigail showed a slightly thoughtful expression.

At this moment, the hunter looked at the girl with a curious look.Although he had heard the name of the city of Luce in the country of Luce several times before, the hunter didn't know what kind of place it was, so he hoped that Abigail could give the answer.

Naturally, as a young historian, after noticing the gaze of the hunter, Abigail showed a proud expression.

"Yeah, I know, now only the kingdom of the ruined city of Luxe remains, the remnants of the old era who refused to step into the star god's barrier and perished."

"This country is a city-state that believes in the Goddess of the Earth. In its heyday, it had nearly 10 citizens, and all the people practiced martial arts. It is famous for its unique Lusse double swords."

"After the filth spread, the country of Lucerne refused to trust the Lord of the Stars, but continued to resist in the field of corruption tenaciously with its own strength until the country was destroyed."

"Now that kingdom has been buried in the siege of the poisonous swamp, only the remnants of the city remain, and there are still a large number of monsters transformed from the citizens of the country of Lucerne."

"However, there are also legends that there are still remnants of people living in the abandoned city of Lusse, and the golden cup dedicated to the goddess has obtained the final protection."

After saying this series of words without blushing or panting, the little girl raised her head proudly to welcome the surprise and admiration of the three hunters who knew nothing about history.

"The golden cup of the goddess? It sounds very valuable."

But immediately, Disma and Tardif's focus shifted to other places.

"Well, it is said to be the relic of the goddess of the earth, known as the [Holy Grail of Debilitated Luce]. There are many rumors about this Holy Grail. Some believe that it is a treasure forged by the goddess for her beloved, and some believe that it was made by the goddess before she died. Sealing the barriers I set up, there is also a saying that the power of the goddess is sealed in this Holy Grail, and those who obtain this Holy Grail will be given asylum."

"Well, but I didn't find any relevant records of the Holy Grail of Luce in Fengrao Town. In short, this thing should have been manufactured during the time when the Old Gods era was finally weakened and destroyed, right?"

Abigail, who has already been to the big library in the town to enrich her historical knowledge, nodded seriously.

This kid is too professional!

The hunters were greatly shocked to see Abigail casually telling the ancient secrets that they had been completely ignorant of after staying in Xingkong Town for several years.

"These are all recorded in the historical documents in the library. You just need to read them once and you will understand."

Abigail just said it seriously, and didn't think it was strange that she could memorize the entire book at a glance.

"The Holy Grail with power... But, if Luce City is a goddess of faith...then the blessing of the goddess..."

Disma, whose thoughts diverged slightly, suddenly widened his eyes.

If you can find [Goddess's Blessing] in that abandoned city, then Blanca's illness is...
