In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

She stared blankly at the sky, feeling her vision gradually becoming dark, and felt a warm current quickly penetrating her body. When the blue appeared in front of her eyes again, she was also stunned.

She thought everything that just happened was just her illusion.

But the blood stains on her body told her that all this was true.

"What...what's going on?"

The dazed girl still didn't understand what was happening to her.

Maria on the side shook her head silently.

She poured the last bit of the blood in the bottle on the girl, urging her body to recover, and then slowly stood up.

"You have three more chances in today's training... Show me everything you have."

"girl……"

……

It is different from other schools that first train basic skills, then train techniques, and finally actual combat.

The hunter training method is very straightforward.

Because of the existence of blood therapy, their sense of death is very numb... Even Maria cannot avoid this.

But because of this, the hunters' tactics are often extremely risky and radical... For ordinary people, if they want to flexibly use these tactics, the first step is to keep trying to die... This is also the reason why Maria is not very willing to teach girls.

But since the girl insisted, she wouldn't say anything more.

This is her promise.

Over the next few days, Maria tried to weaken the girl's fear of death.

Although she had tried her best to suppress the unusual parts in the blood bottle made from her own blood, she could not use it too much every day.

About three or four bottles is the limit.

But what comforted her was that her unilateral killing did not scare the girl. Instead, she gradually grew up through repeated fighting.

Although she still couldn't defend against Maria's attacks, at least she could begin to see Maria's attacks.

And it was on such a day that a major event suddenly broke out in Syracuse.

The head of the Saluzzo family is dead.

It was poisoned...

Chapter 226 Two Little Wolves

Old Mr. Saluzzo is dead.

According to the examination, he was poisoned to death.

This news was like a bomb, exploding in the already uneasy Syracuse, causing countless waves.

Almost the entire country was quietly discussing what was going on.

But... although no one said it explicitly, everyone had an unspoken answer in their hearts.

In today's Syracuse, what force has the ability and need to murder a respected family head?

There is only the owner of the Gray Hall.

Before this incident, many people were actually unaware of the existence of the Grey Hall... They just vaguely realized that there were some changes in Syracuse.

But after Saluzzo's departure, more and more people became aware of the existence of the Gray Hall.

Different people have different attitudes towards this.

Some people think the Grey Hall has a purpose.

Because after the appearance of the Gray Hall, the order of the entire Syracuse showed clear signs of improvement... Although injustice and oppression still exist, at least they no longer have to worry about accidentally dying in the fight between the two families.

But some have expressed concerns.

Although the past was not good, at least, in order to fight for various interests, several families would provide various protections and arrangements for the people in their own territories. The current Gray Hall looks good, but once the Gray Hall officially takes charge of everything in Syracuse, can they really live better than before?

Who can say that if the current Gray Hall is doing well, it will continue to do well in the future?

It is not surprising to have such an idea, mainly because the person in charge of the Gray Hall has never appeared in public, and everyone knows too little about him.

No one knows how long this situation will last.

But... there is no doubt that their attention at this moment is focused on the Saluzzo family.

The Saluzzo family did not make them wait too long. Just a few days later, the new heir of the Saluzzo family came to the stage and announced that a vigil ceremony for the old man would be held in a week.

After the new heir appeared, the first place to send out invitations was the Grey Hall.

Its implication is very obvious.

What surprised everyone was that in the face of this obviously problematic Hongmen Banquet, the Gray Hall responded quickly.

"Mrs. Sicily is deeply sorry for Mr. Saluzzo's departure. As for the invitation, we will definitely arrive..."

In this tense atmosphere, the famous Texas family was actually involved.

The current head of the Texas family, Salvatore Rei, took the initiative to announce that they would be responsible for the security of this banquet. As an old friend, he hoped that his friend could leave in a dignified and peaceful manner in his final moments...

And his words obviously intimidated many other small and medium-sized families that were hostile to the Gray Hall.

In the end, it was still the Saluzzo family that truly wanted to tear its face off with the Grey Hall...

This ever-changing situation is becoming increasingly confusing.

But everyone understands one thing.

Syracuse...it might rain heavily...

……

Maria naturally knew everything that was happening in Syracuse.

But she didn't have any idea about it.

She just continued at her own pace, teaching the girl how to fight while thinking about the current situation.

If Maria initially just wanted to help Lady Sicily overcome her difficulties, now Maria's purpose has changed.

She's going to hunt giant beasts!

However, the conversation with Father Agnel also made Maria realize that this world was not what she had imagined, and that she hated the behemoths to the core.

For the vast majority of ordinary people, they feel that the current life of getting by is already pretty good.

This also means that if Maria wants to go to war with the behemoth, she will not only not get support from others, but may even encounter various obstacles.

But Maria was prepared too…she always was.

During this period, she did not make any further preparations, but just trained Celinina while waiting silently.

Waiting for Father Agnel to evacuate the crowd...

At this time... there are still five days until the vigil...

……

"Hello again, Ms. Maria."

Another morning.

After the training course with Cellinina ended, Maria met Victoria's Secret, whom she had met several times before.

It's just that at this time, Victoria's face looked a little weak and her spirits were not particularly good.

But even so, he still forced himself to raise his head and look at Maria.

"Do you have time now?"

"Ok?"

"Master, I would like to have a chat with you..."

Victoria's words were very polite, and she bowed to Maria, obviously treating her as an honored guest.

In fact, it does.

Ever since Maria came to the Bellone family last time, the entire family's style of action has changed a little.

Although for ordinary people, it is just that family affairs are more frequent during this period.

But as the housekeeper of the Bellone family, Wei Mi could clearly feel the profoundness of the changes.

Many of the choices the family has made recently have somewhat run counter to the family's previous interests.

And all this is because Maria went to Bellone once...

"chat?",

Maria was a little confused.

She has little or no relationship with the Bellone family.

And now that Syracuse is in such a storm, the other party is actually in the mood to invite me to have a chat?

Do not……

Maria realized almost instantly that the other party was not actively looking for her.

After all, these families have been rooted in Syracuse for so long that they are somewhat arrogant... In addition, Zaro is now submissive to him, so even if there is something, he will definitely come and talk to him instead of bothering him to go there.

Since the other party has issued an invitation, that is to say, it is not convenient for someone to show up in public, so they choose to use the Bellone family to find me secretly.

And the other party... should also know something about himself.

But definitely not much.

At least, Maria could not imagine that after she committed the massacre, the people from those families would still be kind to her.

Just when Maria was thinking about whether to accept the invitation, Lavinia came out with a book in her arms.

After seeing Victoria's Secret and Maria, he also asked out of curiosity.

"Um...Ms. Maria, are you going to the Bellone family?"

"...sort of."

"Then...can I come with you?"

Lavinia was a little embarrassed, and she had a large number of prepared books at her side.

Although the Bellone family arranged a lot of academic work for her, Lavinia never forgot her original plan.

She would regularly give extra lessons to Leontuso...For that naughty seven or eight-year-old child, only she, the "sister", could make him listen to the lessons honestly.

At first, the Bellone family provided the girl with living and study supplies, and also hoped that she would teach their young master.

"sure……"

On the side, Victoria's Secret quickly agreed.

Maria was silent for a moment, then shook her head gently.

"Then go ahead..."

"Eh?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Maria said this.

Maria's reason was simple.

"Chelinina still needs someone to take care of her."

As she spoke, Maria looked towards the little wolf who was limping around in the room while recovering from his injuries.

Although Maria's potion could almost perfectly repair the girl's wounds, the reconnected nerves did not react so quickly.

This means that after each training session, Maria needs to spend a lot of time to make her body flexible again.

This is nothing serious in itself, just getting used to the stiffness of the body.

But the problem is that the girl's identity is too special.

The third generation of the Texas family... the almost clear heir, God knows how many people are watching this place openly or secretly.

Maria wouldn't leave the girl here alone.
