All my hunting commissions come from another world?

The gate to Byrenvis remained tightly shut, and as always, it could not be opened from this side.

Okay, it's open now.

Having long abandoned formalities, Zhou Si had no intention of delaying anything. He just wanted to find the Moon Monster and the Vaal Hazak as soon as possible, and then finely chop them into mincemeat to turn them into new weapons and equipment.

This act, which resembled a declaration of war, unsurprisingly alerted all the monsters in Byrenvis. Upon hearing the noise, they all began to gather in the direction of Zhou Si and his companions.

--------------------------

Meanwhile, on the other side, the group of deep-sea hunters who went to search for the traces of the Daughter of the Universe had also arrived at the upper level of the cathedral district.

Skadi opened the door to the Healing Workshop in a way that was similar to what Zhou Si had learned from her master.

They were currently in a garden-like place, cleaning up some strangely shaped blue-headed dolls.

These monsters, known as Heavenly Messengers, are the successful products of the Choir's research.

These big-headed dolls helped them communicate very smoothly with a superior, who was the deep-sea hunters' target for the day.

Epolieta, known in the martial arts world as the "Cosmic Beauty Girl."

The deep-sea hunters, who had fought their way up to the upper levels of the church, were already somewhat exhausted, but after entering the upper area, the overwhelming number of wild beasts gradually decreased.

Until now, when they encountered these big-headed dolls, they had basically not seen any monsters infected with the spores of the Corpse Hazak.

The upper echelons of the church seemed to have been completely unaffected by the plague.

Until the hunters pushed open the gate together and met the powerful being known as the Daughter of the Universe...

The corpse!!!

The enormous silver monster lay lifeless on the ground, its body covered in red flowers. Skadi had sliced ​​open the body of the Daughter of the Universe with her sword, and the roots of these flowers had become deeply embedded in its remains.

"It seems we are a step late."

Ulbian stared at the monster's corpse before him; the being that killed it had simply plastered its ID card on its face.

Although the hunters did not understand why the Moon Monster wanted to kill the Cosmic Beauty, who was also a superior being.

But they knew that the moon demon could not possibly be acting out of kindness.

Chapter Thirty-One: Your name is known from Rodel to Arnor Londo.

"Quack! Don't kill my teeth!!!"

In a classroom at Byronvis College, a bald, human-faced spider was pressed tightly against the corner of the wall. The Tide Hunter was closing in on it step by step. The bald spider was terrified just by seeing the Tide Hunter's mouth full of sharp teeth.

Patch's face was filled with fear. Although the long-legged little bug in front of him was less than a tenth the size of him, he had always witnessed its destructive power.

Those Byrenvis monsters couldn't even survive a single encounter with this little bug, let alone poor old Patch.

"My parents, who I don't know where they died, I've come to see you~"

The Tide Hunter's maw drew ever closer, and Patch closed his eyes in terror, two streams of tears flowing from the corners of his eyes. He could already smell the blood emanating from the Tide Hunter's mouth.

But for some reason, the terrifying monster didn't harm him in the end; it simply stopped in front of Patch and breathed on him.

"He's disgusting."

"One thing to say, one thing to say, indeed."

Patch hadn't opened his eyes yet, but several footsteps approached him from a short distance away. One of the women, whose voice sounded rather young, spoke with disgust, and the man next to her agreed wholeheartedly.

Patch nodded repeatedly in his heart. The monster in front of him was indeed disgusting. He should take it away quickly and save old Patch.

He had just thought that when he heard the man add something else.

"This human-faced spider is really ugly, and with that big bald head, it's obviously not a good thing."

The man's slander enraged Patch. Others' insults were nothing to old Patch, but he would never allow anyone to question his aesthetic sense!

Anger made Patch open his eyes. He was about to berate those ignorant fools, but the moment he saw who it was, that incredibly familiar face made him let out a sharp, explosive sound.

"Who are you calling ugly... Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Si!!!"

Patch's throat suddenly tightened as if something had squeezed it. His voice, which had just been full of anger and momentum, instantly became high-pitched and thin, with a tone that was both lewd and obsequious.

"Isn't this Grandpa Zhou Si? It's truly a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple!"

"If I had discovered it was you earlier, I would have come to pay my respects to you long ago."

"you know me?"

Zhou Si was genuinely surprised by Patch's familiar demeanor, as he should have never met Patch before.

"Of course I know you, we both..."

Patch was about to continue, but then he seemed to suddenly remember something, his eyes darting around in his eye sockets, before he changed his mind halfway through.

“We are all traveling merchants to some extent, and your name is known to everyone from Anor Londo to Rodel.”

"If it weren't for my physical limitations, I would have already bowed down and submitted to you."

Patch's words were full of flattery, and then he waved his spider legs to indicate that he was not lying.

'But weren't there a lot of flaws in what you just said?'

Zhou Si's face was filled with such an expression, but he did not interrupt Patch's words immediately, but just watched him perform quietly.

As expected, Patch showed no sign of stopping, but Zhou Si regretted it less than three seconds after he spoke.

"You didn't bring your wife with you?"

The moment Zhou Si uttered those words, she felt a sharp gaze pierce her neck. The source of that gaze was directly behind her, and the person standing there...

It is undoubtedly a lone bird.

You've already found a wife without saying a word? Are you going to ask me to babysit your kid next time you come back?

“If you spread rumors again, I’ll twist your bald head off and throw it into Moonlit Lake to keep Rom company.”

“He is called the dull-witted Rom, and you are called the kick-worthy Patch.”

Zhou Si kicked it, and Spider Patch instantly turned into a round ball and flew out, bouncing around Byrenvis's room before finally landing on a wooden table.

"My lord, spare my life! I was mistaken. Lord Zhou Si is innocent. There is absolutely no truth to the rumors about his wife."

Patch verbally begged for leniency, but secretly he became even more certain of something.

For example, this Zhou Si has no previous memories of him, and the version of Zhou Si in front of him must be from a very earlier period, at least before he met that red-haired witch.

That is to say...

There's an opportunity!

Patch's expression gradually turned distorted. "I can't fool you in the future, but can't I fool you now?"

My favorite thing is to collect gold coins from under the ancient dragon's butt.

After figuring things out while lying on the wooden table, he immediately scurried back up, looking up at Zhou Si from bottom to top, trying to influence her with the flashbang above his head.

"Lord Zhou Si, may I ask what brings you all to Byrenvis?"

Seeing that Zhou Si and the others had not responded to him for a long time, Patch took the initiative to speak, wanting to know their purpose.

Do you know where the Moon Monster is?

Azure Star asked with some curiosity. After getting used to the human-faced spider in front of her, apart from still not being able to accept the sinister bald man, her aversion to spiders was not so great.

Using questions to answer questions is a bad thing to do. Although Old Patch really wanted to say that, facing three people who could hang him up and roast him into a spider-dried mess, he immediately told Zhou Si and the others everything he knew like spilling beans.

"That monster recently arrived in Byrenvis and entered the depths of Moonlit Lake. Shortly afterward, the blood moon descended."

So it really was the Moon Demon that killed Rom? But why?

Patch's words confirmed their earlier suspicions, but they still had no way of knowing why the Moon Demon did this.

But Zhou Si and his group obviously didn't need to know all that. As long as they took down the Moon Demon first, everything would be fine.

"After killing Rom, the enormous dragon crawled out of Moonlit Lake and headed towards the underground of Byrenvis."

Patch pointed to the ground with his spider legs.

Beneath this earth, it is said, lies the legendary Sumerian dynasty, and Byronvis was built here because it was closest to the underground palace of the Sumerian dynasty.

The Sumerian dynasty was the first human civilization in the world to establish contact with a superior authority. With the help of this authority, their civilization grew stronger and stronger until one day, they violated a taboo, triggering an unprecedented beast plague.

"That scourge destroyed all of Sumer, and since then, humanity has lost contact with those in power."

It wasn't until Master William led the first scientific expedition that the Sumerian ruins were unearthed, from which the Holy Grail, used to worship superiors, and parasites remaining on the Grail were brought out.

From that moment on, the fate of the small town of Yharnam, located east of Byrenvis, was completely changed.

Chapter Thirty-Two: Honest and Honest Old Patch

"This way, sir."

Patch's eight spider legs moved swiftly, and soon led Zhou Si and the others to the entrance of the Sumerian underground palace.

A man-made passage leads straight underground, and as Ludwig looks at it, a memory flashes through his mind.

Long ago, before the Church of Healing was established, the primary duty of these hunters was not to hunt wild beasts.

Instead, they protected the scholars of Byrenvis as they explored the Sumerian dungeons, which contained not only various traps but also a large number of Sumerians who had been turned into monsters due to the beastification disease.

It wasn't until later, when Byronvis scholars, led by William, brought the Greater Grail and the parasites of the superior beings out of the earth, that hunters were given the responsibility of regularly hunting wild beasts.

The pitch-black tunnel led straight into the depths of the underground palace. Zhou Si raised his flashlight and was about to walk forward when Patch's voice called out to him.

"Lord Zhou Si, please don't be in such a hurry."

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

Zhou Si stopped and looked at Patch with great interest. Although this was indeed his first meeting with Patch, he was very familiar with him.

Legend has it that when Xiao Gao was a child, he met a bald uncle named Patch who not only cheated him out of his pocket money, but also kicked him downstairs when he was picking up something.

Because the memory was so vivid, Yu Xiaogao chose to include his favorite Uncle Patch in the game when he grew up.

However, Patch is a purebred swordsman, but he's not quite vicious enough to be considered truly ruthless. In fact, he's a breath of fresh air in the old game.

After all, your Uncle Patch just wants to swindle some pocket money from you.

"Lord Zhou Si, this Sumerian underground palace is extremely dangerous."

"Not only are there a large number of monsters, but also all kinds of traps and mechanisms. I'm not worried about your safety, but your companions may not be as strong as you."

Patch came over with a cheeky grin, constantly giving Zhou Si meaningful glances, but why did Zhou Si's expression look so strange?

Patch frowned, sensing that things weren't so simple.

On the other side, Zhou Si was about to burst out. Putting Ludwig aside for now, the remaining Azure Star and Lone Bird were both freaks capable of single-handedly killing Ancient Dragons.

Even now, it's hard to say whether Zhou Si can reliably beat either of them.

He appears to be the one in charge in this group, but in reality, it's just that two big shots are unwilling to speak up.

So do you have any good ideas?

Zhou Si asked Spider Patch very sincerely.

Upon hearing Zhou Si's question, Patch's brows relaxed and a smile appeared on his face as if he had just woken up, but reason told him not to be too happy too soon.

"Cough cough... Of course!"

"Lord Zhou Si, look, I have a detailed map of the Sumerian underground palace here. It records every fork in the road and every trap in the underground palace."

"It even marks the location of every treasure chest! With the help of this map, you will surely be able to easily defeat that moon monster."

Spider Patch pulled out a parchment scroll from somewhere and presented it to Zhou Si as if it were a treasure.

Just as Zhou Si was about to reach for it, Patch pulled the parchment scroll back a little.

"Lord Zhou Si, after all, we went through a lot of hardship in the underground palace to draw this map. You can't let poor old Patch go back empty-handed, can you?"

This is a lie!

Old Patch did indeed go to the underground palace, but he avoided dangerous places along the way. Apart from the main road being correct, most of the side roads on this map were filled in by Patch based on his many years of experience.

It must be said that Patch's forgery skills are indeed top-notch; at least Zhou Si couldn't find any problems with this map.

"You're right, so what kind of reward do you want?"

"Old Patch only wants one of your scales."
