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

That's it? !

smooth?!

Does this woman have some language problems?

"Hey, no, no... You guys can actually hold on. I'm quite curious... The last person who could do this was Maria."

The Archangel is careless and nothing can be seen from him.

On the side, the expressions of several people changed after hearing that name.

The tall woman and the man didn't look very happy, but the other two women were quite happy.

This strange attitude made Xiao Baohan even more curious.

Of course, this curiosity didn't last long.

Soon, the puppet slowly walked out of the fog.

"Thank you for your hard work."

The puppet nodded to Exia and Texas as a token of gratitude.

Then he turned around and looked at the deep-sea hunter and the half-sea, half-human guy in front of him.

"Thank you for accepting the invitation. The hunters will surely be happy to see you."

The puppet smiled and spoke slowly in a steady tone.

And no one said much.

In fact, they were all a little confused... After all, Maria's invitation to them came without any warning, and it could even be said to be sudden, so that they actually came here with a little confusion.

As for what happens next... everyone has their own ideas.

Just after these people entered the cabin, the puppet turned around and looked at Exia and Texas who were still standing at the door. With a calm smile, it seemed to be asking them if they also wanted to join the meeting.

only……

"……never mind."

Texas exhaled, shook his head slightly, and silently returned to his car. Although Archangel was confused, he didn't say much. He smiled and waved to the doll and Xiao Baohan, then returned to the car.

He started the engine again, which had not yet rested for a few seconds, and started to drive backward.

Soon, the two of them evacuated the area.

And the Archangel finally asked his own question.

"Why don't you go?"

"Ok?"

Dexas, who was driving the car, didn't even turn his head, but just looked ahead silently.

"Didn't that puppet just now invite you to go meet Maria? Don't you like her very much?"

The Archangel didn't think too much and spoke without restraint.

Texas was stunned for a moment by what Exiah said, and even stepped on the accelerator a little bit.

"What...what do you like..."

She lowered her head slightly, her face flushed, and her tail swayed uneasily behind her.

"I have nothing but respect for Ms. Maria!"

"Isn't that what I meant by liking you?"

Exia blinked, looking strange, "What else do you like?"

"Forehead……"

"Wait! Texas, when you say 'like', you don't mean..."

"no!"

"But……"

"no!"

Texas denied it loudly, which made the Archangel smile strangely.

The corners of her mouth slowly curled up as if she had discovered something interesting.

"Oops~"

"Angel of Power!"

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, it's just a joke."

Knowing that her best friend was shy, Angelica stopped teasing her and instead continued to speak out of curiosity.

"So...why didn't you go in just now?"

"..."

Texas was silent.

She paused for a moment, then silently bit off the chocolate biscuit bar in her mouth, her eyes slightly lowered.

"Because I'm too weak."

"Eh?"

Exia was stunned.

She thought Texas could give some special answer, but it turned out... it was because she was too weak?

What kind of answer is this?

But Texas has its own quirks.

"Ms. Maria's identities...are becoming more and more."

"Ok?"

"You should have communicated with those Snowfield Guerrillas before, and you should know what position Maria holds in their minds, right?"

Texas spoke, his tone was quiet, yet seemed somewhat lonely.

"I've heard of it... something like the Guardian of Kazdel or something... I heard there's some unclear relationship with the leader of the Banshee Court... But since they haven't had much contact, they're not familiar with it."

After thinking for a few moments, the Archangel nodded.

A large part of Penguin Logistics’ work in Yharnam now is actually delivering food...delivering food to all kinds of people.

Occasionally, I would stop and chat with some of them.

It would have been fine if we hadn’t talked about it, but once we started talking, I realized that Maria seemed to have too many identities?

And each one sounds a little unusual.

For Archangel, this was just a story, and sometimes he would brag about working with Maria.

But for Texas and Laplande, who have always wanted to stand by Maria, it seems like a huge pressure again and again.

The more they dug, the more they realized that they were not even qualified to stand behind Maria and look up at her battlefield!

This has put tremendous psychological pressure on them.

What’s even more terrifying is that what they know now may not be Maria’s limit!

and so……

What can they do?

They can't do anything, they can only constantly strengthen themselves and train themselves...

For this reason, Lappland even chose to return to Syracuse and once again joined the Gray Hall and became a judge.

and so……

"So, I don't think it's time for me to meet her yet."

Texas took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

"I need more challenges... more training... Right now, in front of Ms. Maria, I'm probably no match for even a young hound. Even Ceobe is several times stronger than me..."

"I need...I need to push myself beyond my limits!"

Texas' words were quiet and silent.

On the side, the Archangel was murmuring.

"Texas..."

"Don't try to persuade me, Angel... This is my choice..."

Texas still kept his head down, his closed eyes filled with determination.

Faced with the call of the Angel, she never hesitated.

"Texas."

The call of the Archangel sounded again, with a hint of uneasiness.

And Texas' answer remains the same.

"I won't regret it, Exia... Believe me, I can do it."

“Texas!”

The voice of the Angel of Exorcism became firm, and she shouted again as if she had seen through something.

But Dicos turned his head and looked at her.

"Don't you believe it?"

But... what surprised Texas was that the Angel of Exorcism was not looking at him. On the contrary, she was looking at the front with a pale face.

"No! Texas!"

Exiah screamed, "We're almost hitting the wall!"

"what?!"

Texas was stunned and turned his head.

But unfortunately, the reaction and the body are still one step behind.

"Oh!"

Accompanied by a loud muffled sound.

Armored vehicles...

Crashed straight through the wall!

The arrangement the emperor made for his number one employee was naturally top-notch. A slight collision would only cause a slight dent in the front of the car.

But the house is not so solid.

The ancient building could no longer withstand such a blow and collapsed.

The two people in the car just sat there blankly, their faces expressionless...

……

Yharnam, inside the hunter's hut.

Maria hasn't appeared yet, but several deep-sea members have already arrived.

Skadi still had a cold look on her face, looking around silently, as if she was observing the situation... In fact, Skadi didn't know how to observe at all, she just didn't know what to do and was in a daze.

Ghost Shark squatted by the fireplace, looking at Keobe, who was wrapped in a blanket and sleeping warmly against the fireplace. His delicate and attractive face was filled with calm curiosity. He tilted his head and watched her rest silently.

Gloria narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she was gathering her strength. The weapons beside her made people's hair stand on end... In the far corner, there was a trembling Shuiyue.

This extremely androgynous-looking child was afraid that Gloria, standing beside him, would stab him at any moment...

This woman has done this more than once.

To be honest, Shuiyue didn't know what she had done to provoke the other party. Almost every time the two met, Gloria came over with a knife.

Although Dr. Kal'tsit seemed to explain a lot of things to the other party later, those things could not make Gloria give up her action.

Shuiyue originally thought that Maria might know something, so she accepted her invitation and came here.
