Volume 1: The Curtain of the Night, Chapter 16: Hoggen (Part 1)
Xia Zuo looked at Jasmine, who had lightly introduced himself and then sat back in his seat, a little inexplicably depressed, although he was very curious about the specific information of the 'Elixir Master', but obviously he cared more about this.
I didn't offend her......
The others also didn't seem to react to Jasmine's cold introduction...... Maybe she was so cold in the first place?
Wrong...... If you look closely, the others did pause a little just now, especially Fred's guy, who had already guessed that this would happen with a smile on his face.
Wait...... Could it be because I've seen her face? I remember how unhappy she looked at the time...... Especially when she noticed that I was also a Soulborn...... I don't understand, why can't I show it to others? Obviously, it looks good...... And she seems to be more disliked by me, who is also a soul descendant......
I don't want to be seen by the Soul Descent...... Why is that...... Shouldn't it be a big problem to be seen by your own kind...... Xia Zuo thought in his heart.
For a long time, Xia Zuo still couldn't come up with a clue.
That's right!
Xia Zuo suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.
I wonder if the rest of the team has seen Jasmine's true face, maybe I can guess something......
Xia Zuo looked at his teammates around him, slightly lost in thought.
Xia Zuo suddenly felt a gentle tap on his shoulder.
Xia Zuo looked up, only to see that Fred was smiling at Xia Zuo at this time.
"It's your turn to introduce yourself, boy. Fred laughed.
"Ahh Xia Zuo reacted at this time, then straightened his clothes a little and stood up straight.
"My name is 'Shazo Hoggen', and if I am professional, I should be a soul hunter, and the level of soul bloodline is ...... Colorless grade. Xia Zuo hesitated slightly, and finally said his bloodline level.
Anyway, you have to die sooner or later...... Ugly daughters-in-law always have to meet their in-laws one day.
"Hoggen ......" However, the members of the Night Curtain noticed Xia Zuo's surname, and they didn't pay much attention to Xia Zuo's colorless bloodline, maybe because the bloodline level was not static, or it could be because they felt that it was normal for the bloodline level of the Wild Soul Descendant to be not high, so they didn't seem to care very much.
"What's wrong?" Xia Zuo asked curiously.
"No, it's fine. Fred replied to Xia Zuo, and then looked at the captain Anos, who also fell into deep thought, and after thinking for a moment, the captain shook his head at Fred.
Elsa shook her head slightly, and even Ian, who was in the corner, looked confused.
Jasmine sat still quietly, not speaking.
Xia Zuo suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little weird......
"We can confirm...... I haven't heard of the 'Soul Family' of 'Hoggen'. Fred finally spoke, he looked at Xia Zuo, he had found out that Xia Zuo was related to a non-wild Soul Descendant who was suspected of being of extraordinary status, and he also thought that Xia Zuo might be related to some famous Soul Descendant family.
But now it seems that it really doesn't matter, right? Could it be that this surname is actually fake, and there is no such soul family?
Although Fred is well-informed, he has read the archives of the known Soul Descendants family in Council records.
The Council's archives basically record all the Soul Descendants families that exist in the world.
But Fred really hadn't heard of the existence of this family.
Regarding the Soul Descendant Family, this is a powerful force made up of Soul Descendants who share a common ancestor.
There are thousands of members of the Soul Family, such as the famous family "Anderson", nicknamed the Black Rose Family, and the "Morox", known as the Griffin Family, and so on.
The number of small families is not even more than a handful of people, such as Augustine, Tanagus and other small families.
Therefore, basically every soul descendant has a family to belong to, and even the wild soul descendants who are outside the soul descendant society are eighty percent separated from a certain soul descendant family.
Normally, the Soul Descent family would not really abandon a Soul Descendant.
After all, the number of soul descendants is far less than that of ordinary humans, and each soul descendant is a very precious treasure for a soul descendant family, as well as the entire soul descendant society.
Soul descendants are often nurtured by the family from birth, and then join the registered soul hunting team through the Soul Descent Council, or join other causes that are beneficial to the development of the Soul Descend.
"Ahhhh Xia Zuo immediately reacted, "It's normal that I haven't heard of this family, after all, this surname is the surname that my uncle gave me based on the name of the place." โ
"Place names?" asked the captain.
"Yes, the surname comes from the Hoggen Mountains. โ
"Uncle met and adopted me in the Hoggen Mountains, and I remember an interesting thing...... Uncle said that when he first met me, I was like a dead man who suddenly woke up haha. Xia Zuo explained with a smile.
"Uncle he claimed to be an old hunter and was willing to adopt me as a student of the vagabond, and he gave me the surname 'Hoggen' after the Hoggen Mountains, after all, I couldn't remember my own name and name at the time. โ
"As for the name...... Uncle he named me 'Xia Zuo' at that time, and he explained that Xia Zuo means hunter, a student of a hunter, and naturally he is also a hunter, so he gave me this name. โ
"Uncle Hunter......" Fred whispered, this was not the first time he had heard Xia Zuo mention the name, who was this person...... What is his purpose......
"Hoggen Mountains...... I'll take a look at it when I have a chance. Fred muttered to himself.
"Can you remember the name of the uncle you said?" the captain asked Xia Zuo thoughtfully.
"Uh...... Don't remember...... He didn't mention his name to me. Xia Zuo suddenly became inexplicably depressed and said.
Xia Zuo hadn't seen the old hunter for a long time, and he didn't know how he had been......
"It's fine. Anos smiled faintly, and there seemed to be an infectious force in the calm and calm voice of Anos, which made Xia Zuo calm down.
"Elsa, what do you think?" the captain looked at Elsa.
"I have not heard of the name Hoggennes, and the Hoggennes mentioned by Charzo may be in a relatively remote place. Elsa tilted her head slightly and said.
Everyone else shook their heads.
"It's okay, then let's get back to business. Anos coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention back.
"Our mission this time is to catch the blood demon who is operating behind the scenes, this ghost has commanded his puppet ghosts to attack several times, all at night, which proves that it should be a ghost who is good at dark element manipulation, and its power will be stronger at night, so it is more likely to hide in the lair during the day. โ
"Then we'll raid it during the day!"
"At this time, as long as we have the right people to track down, we can successfully find this monster's lair. โ
"You must have already arranged the specific candidate Fred, right?" the captain looked at Fred.
"Of course. Fred smiled.
"I decided to put Natsuzo in charge of the task of tracking down the Blood Demon Seed, and with my help he awakened the ability of 'Soul Tracking'. โ
"Although he may not be very skilled in soul tracking, I still believe in him. โ
"Yes, you'll make it, lucky boy?" said Fred as he suddenly changed his words and looked at Xia Zuo with a sly expression.
"Ah...... Yes!" Xia Zuo hurriedly replied.
I said yes in time, but I don't know why I always had the feeling that Fred was pushing me into the fire pit......
"Good. Arnos nodded, and then let Fred start arranging his tactics.
... ...
"I didn't expect him to be so serious...... No wonder you can become a vice-captain. โ
Xia Zuo looked at Fred's serious and serious appearance when arranging tactics, Fred was completely busy at this time, Xia Zuo couldn't help but sigh.
Xia Zuo retracted his gaze, and after adjusting his state in his heart for a while, he finally looked at Jasmine on the side, wanting to try to communicate with her and explain...... to show your apologies.
However, Xia Zuo saw Jasmine's body suddenly move, and then lay on the table, silver hair mischievously spilling out of the girl's hood.
Faintly, Xia Zuo seemed to be able to see the girl's extraordinarily moving side face.
It seems that Jasmine doesn't seem to like this kind of noisy meeting, and it may also be because of the fatigue of her own work backlog, after all, Xia Zuo heard that Jasmine is a 'elixir master' who is in charge of the team's healing, and it must be very hard to make potions and the like.
But...... Xia Zuo's attention was still drawn to something else.
"It's kind of ...... It's cute. โ
Xia Zuo looked at the girl's moving appearance, resisted the desire to get closer to Jasmine, and whispered to himself in his heart.
Although Xia Zuo's previous identity was a wanderer and a hunter, Xia Zuo has not seen beautiful women of the same age, after all, sometimes there are some good-looking girls in some mountain villages, and he has also seen many beautiful women in the process of wandering.
But I don't know why, Xia Zuo is inexplicably interested in Jasmine...... Xia Zuo felt that there was some kind of familiar aura on the girl's body...... He felt that there was something in the girl's body that attracted him.
Why is that? Why do I have such an inexplicable ...... for her? Peculiar feeling...... I feel like my heart is beating softly......
