The Divine Hunter

  Chapter 42 Ending

  In the courtyard of the Cardell House, the moonlight showed four incomplete skeletons, most of which were slender and stained with pale yellow.

  The headmaster's sharp gaze with a white bandage wrapped around his waist and abdomen turned around several times, and there was a hint of confusion on his slightly pale face because of the blood loss.

   "Clearly killed that monster, why can't I remember at all? Except Tom, what are the names of these four children?"

"Although it is not mentioned in the notes..." Roy pursed his lips, "but I think this kind of forgetting is irreversible, even if the hunter is dead. Only the people who survived like Tom have left traces in the real world. It can be repaired." The five-pointed star on Roy's left sleeve was restored.

  Kadell shook his head, seemingly dissatisfied with the result.

   "At least, we saved Little Tom." Roy said, "And from now on, the children in the school will never be threatened by monsters."

  It’s also magical. One hour after the two took out the bones in the tree hole, the tree hole at the root of the hornbeam closed again. At this time, Roy tried to sprinkle salt on it, but could no longer summon the tree hole. The hornbeam seemed to have completely lost its magic.

  Roy has a faint feeling that the underground space where the hunter ghost lived may not be inside the hornbeam, but an alien space. Soon after the hunting boy dies, the magic of maintaining the space gradually dissipates, and it is naturally difficult to find a trace of the tree hole. He originally wanted to go back and cut off the tongue of the burnt corpse. Oakes said, that stuff is very valuable.

   But now it seems that there is no chance.

   "How is it? Do you have any new discoveries?" Vivien walked over from the house, her pretty face full of fatigue and sadness. The relatives who were struggling to pursue turned into a skeleton without a sound, and even the memory of him could not be retrieved.

  Two years of hard work seemed to be in vain.

   "Can you recognize the identities of these children?"

"I'm afraid I can't... It seems that forgetting is irreversible now." Roy noticed the ugly face of the other party, and said comfortingly, "Sister Vivien,'he' has been freed from the cave of the tree hole, and may have entered Rebbio. In the kingdom of the Prophet, we also avenged him and recovered, uh... the bones, we can finally find a cemetery for him to bury. Don't be too sad."

Vivien covered her face and took a deep breath, and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, "Actually, when I saw the notes, I guessed that he was no longer there. I just couldn't accept it for a while... but you are right. His soul must have been. Entered the kingdom of the prophet. I will find a good place to bury his bones."

  After a short silence,

   "Say something happy... how about Tom that kid?"

"I just gave him a hot bath and put some ointment on him. He fell asleep again." When referring to the survivors, Vivien finally had a little more light in his eyes. "He was lucky. There were bruises and bites on the neck, and he had no impression of the whole process of being captured. He only remembered that he slept asleep and woke up and saw you and the monster..."

   "The Hunter will let him have nightmares for a few days, nothing else."

   "That's good." Roy glanced at the sky again, "I'll talk about the rest, tomorrow, I should go back to the mill, too."

   "Wait, Roy." Cadell asked suddenly, "Where did the bomb you used on the hunting boy come from?"

   Roy perceives the expectation in the other's eyes, and understands that this member of the revolutionary army should have the idea of ​​"Dancing Star".

"That's a special alchemy bomb made by the Demon Hunter..." Roy lied, "Only people recognized by the Demon Hunter can activate it. It is a self-defense gift given to me by the teacher. Only this one will be used up. ."

   "Really?" Cadell's face could not hide the disappointment.

  ...

  Back to the mill, Roy found Toya by the pond. The girl was staring at the reflection on the water in a daze, her face lonely, her back exuding loneliness. Roy thought, if she were at the Cardell House, she would definitely not be able to escape being preyed.

"Sorry, I'm late today." Roy walked to her and sat down. The girl's shoulders trembled, her round face revealed an uncontrollable surprise, and the end of her speech was trembling slightly, "It's okay, I can Understand...You also have a job in the city, are you busy today?"

  In fact, she was very scared in her heart. She always had a strong worry, worrying that the happy time in the past half month was just her hallucination. Today, when she discovered that Roy did not return to the mill on time, this worry reached its extreme, and her heart was filled with despair.

   Fortunately, it was just a false alarm! He's back... this friend really exists.

  Toya felt relieved in every cell of her body.

Roy shook his head, "It’s not because of my work. During this period of time, I encountered a tricky incident at the Cardell’s House. It is related to the magic that I said last time, and it’s also about the neglected children. listen."

"it is good!"

  ...

  In the early morning of the next day, Roy, who had finished his meditation, woke up at four o'clock on time, and first disposed of the body of the bald man in the space.

   Then rushed to the bazaar in the city of Eddesberg, right here, at the herbal stall that he had served for more than half a month, he still hadn't settled the account.

  However, when he squeezed through a pile of coolies with bare arms and came to the herbal medicine stall, he found that he had already "people go to the empty building".

  Not to mention the stall owner Troos, who set up two rounds for him in Xiacheng, even the shelves were removed. It became a clearing.

  He was unwilling to find the Emil who sells barbecue and asked...but the other party gave him an answer that surprised him.

  "You asked Uncle Tross? I thought he had told you that after setting up the stall yesterday morning, he left Edsburg with all his family and property."

   "Move away with your family?"

  He has been in Edsberg for more than ten years, so he is willing to give up all?

  Afraid of me as a teenager?

   can't justify it.

"Who told you that he has opened a herbal shop in Eddesberg for more than ten years?" Emil was surprised. "He just came to the city for two months, not much earlier than you. After all, business is actually pretty good. , Why did you move out suddenly..."

  Who is this guy? Professional liar?

  Roy pondered for a long time, only remembering his wretched smile, inexplicably guilty in his heart.

  Let's go!

  Now that the work of the herbal shop has ended. He allocated more time in the morning to the poultry stall. After killing the monsters under the tree hole, the experience value came to LV2 (820/1000). If there is more business during this time, it may be upgraded to LV3 in less than a week. .

  ...

  In the afternoon, the Kadell’s house is still as peaceful as before. The children are playing happily under the hornbeam, seemingly unaware that the lonely staring boy at the door of the classroom goes back and forth.

  Neglected people are still ignored, nothing has changed.

   "Tom, go and join them." Roy touched the boy's blond hair and encouraged, "You have escaped from the mouth of a brutal monster and crawled back from the edge of death. What else is there to be afraid of?"

  "If you want to be followed and make more friends, you have to take the initiative to fight for it. Looking around like a fool has no effect. Who dares to bully you again, it's a big deal!"

  Roy violently pushed the boy who was stunned into the crowd. Watching him flush and awkwardly greet the surrounding students.

  Kadell came to Roy quietly, her face was not so good, she was injured last night enough to support her for a while.

  All the horn trees and the monsters living under the trees were concealed by the principal.

  The traces of the dead children have not been restored, and they are still forgotten by the world. Even if it is made public, what else can it attract besides suspicion and trouble?

"This morning, Vivien and I buried the bones in a nearby cemetery." Cadell said, "There is another thing. Roy, anyway, because your help the school solves this hidden danger, Vivien finds After returning the bodies of their loved ones, the poor children saw the light of day again. I thank you for them. I know the rules of the demon hunter... I will pay you a sum. How about 100 crowns?"

  Actually, one hundred crowns is not enough for the material cost of Dancing Star. But this is probably all that Cardell can afford.

   "This money is not enough." Roy glanced at the boys and girls running in the courtyard, a soft spot in his heart was suddenly touched, "Give me a meal."

   "Then please accept this gift, Roy."

  Vivien quietly walked out from behind Cardell, took off the silver pendant on his chest, and hung it around his neck

  Grateful in the beautiful eyes, "Trust me, it will bring you good luck and blessings..."

  Thanks to King of Night, Zhuang Mengxin for his reward and monthly ticket support! thanks for your support!
