That one... Mr. Rick: Is the place just now called Hunter? Elsie asked, the two of them walked down the bustling street, Rick's steps were not as hurried as Dylan's, obviously taking care of the children's steps, hearing her question, he turned sideways and bowed his head to talk to Elsie: "Yes, Hunter actually means hunter, which is a very apt name." ”

"So, are you and Mr. Dylan working there?" Elsie asked, having just heard Rick mention the assignment, and Sister Lena had mentioned that Dylan was now taking on a assignment to support his family. "Work? Rick replied, "Dylan and I are both fifth-order warriors, and we take some entrusted tasks in Khantry, killing low-level demons or looking for materials, and now that the demons are raging, the empire has expanded the previous adventurer association and established Khante, we are just a small branch here, and now we are about to be similar to mercenaries and the like." ”

Rick remembered something, groped around and took out a card, handed it to Elsie, Elsie took it blankly, "Well, this is the card certified by Hunter, only those who have a certain strength and can solve some demon troubles can get it." Elsie stretched out his hand to take a closer look, the card was purple crystalline and translucent, there was a badge on the left side, and inside were two weapons crossed in an X shape, one was a long sword and the other was a magic staff, with a line of small characters engraved "HUNTER" underneath, and a golden engraving font in the middle of the right, "RICK· GRYLLS", which should be Rick's full name, Rick Grylls, and in the lower right corner is a capital flower letter D.

Rick appropriately mentioned: "D is my current hunter level, I can only take D or below, no matter how high it is, this is also a good setting, to prevent someone from being greedy enough to accept a commission far beyond their own strength." Elsie handed the card back to Rick and complimented him heartily, "That's amazing." "Rick Dylan are all fifth-order warriors, with their age, they are already considered good results in battle qi cultivation, unlike him, who only has some talent in magic, he is already thirteen years old, but he is still only a second-order magician, and other normal or excellent children are already third-order or working towards the fourth-order.

Whether it's war qi or magic, it's the initial upgrade fast, the slower the later the upgrade, the speed of the initial upgrade also reflects the level of the child's talent, general magic values talent more than battle qi, and when you become an adult, you can reach the fourth and fifth orders to be considered a qualified growth rate, and it is also a complete entry into the ranks of magic, and the later promotion only depends on the opportunity. All in all, she was average at best, mediocre at worst, only slightly better than someone with no magical talent. If I had been stronger, I might have been able to help that night, and my uncle and everyone wouldn't have ...... Mom may have left with her......

Elsie sighed, and Rick seemed to notice that she was in a bad mood and patted her on the shoulder: "Let's go, I said I was going to take you around and just chat, and I will show you El Blue Shield, this is a nice city." Elsie nodded, and the two of them walked down the street talking and laughing.

Here, Dylan went up to the second floor, walked through the hall to the room at the end of the corridor, knocked on the door, heard a cough from inside—"Please come in", and pushed the door in. Old Hans sat on a chair behind the table, holding one side of his glasses in one hand and flipping through the yellowed book in the other, and when he saw him come in, Hans closed the book with his backhand and said, "Sit down." Dylan was not polite, closed the door and sat down in a chair against the wall, quietly waiting for the old man to speak. Hans sighed: "Since they have called you, I won't say more, the third invasion of the demons may be coming." Dylan raised an eyebrow and nodded.

"This time it's really menacing, Galanz said, the cracks in the demon world outside the city are opening more and more, and they are opening bigger and bigger, and the evil demon qi and demon roar coming from inside make him faintly afraid, and it is difficult to contain the panic. This time it was no easier than the second time, and even better than the first time. "Galanz is the name of the city lord of Ellan Shield, an excellent eighth-order magician majoring in defensive enchantment, he spent a week laying down the enchantment that covered the entire Ellan Shield, helping them easily resist the second invasion, even him, it seems that this time is really the moment of life and death for Ellan Shield.

"From the seaside to the inland cities, more or less there are large areas of cracks in the demon world, and there is obviously a tendency to spread to the imperial capital, the imperial capital says that the support is insufficient, Galanz strives to explain the danger of the current Ellandun, and only won the opportunity to issue a commission at the headquarters of Hunter. We all understand that the imperial capital is also about to be unsafe, and I am afraid that it will be abandoned here. Old Hans said in a low voice.

Dylan frowned and didn't speak.

"In the case of El Blue Shield, no matter how high the offer is, it is estimated that no one will be willing to come to support. Dylan looked up and pounded his chest with his fist, signaling that he would do his best to protect the place. Hans saw his movements and smiled with satisfaction: "Thank you, child, I watched you grow up, although you are silent, but I know that you are a highly talented and hard-working child." Although you are currently a fifth-order warrior, I know that you should not be far from the sixth-order. Maybe if you give you a few more months, you will be able to break through and face the crisis more easily. However, it is too late, and the next invasion may only be a month or two away, perhaps even sooner. ”

As if he knew what he was going to say, Dylan suddenly stood up.

Old Hans looked up at him: "You, Rick and a few of them, I watched them grow up, they are the best and most responsible in this group of children, I may have to tell the whole city about this in a few days, their stay is all up to them, and you few, I hope to see you leave, you have a better future, here, will only die in vain." ”

Dylan just shook his head.

Old Hans also walked out, holding Dylan's hand with both hands, his eyes were filled with tears, "I know you are reluctant, reluctant to this city, and the people in the city, but it is too dangerous to stay here, El Lan Dun doesn't know if he can survive it, you want to protect here, but I want to protect you." Dylan just shook his head. Old Hans was about to say something, but was interrupted by Dylan's mouth: "I... No... Walk. ”

The hoarse voice proved his firmness, and the words spit out one by one, old Hans knew him, knew that he was in a hurry, he knew that he could not persuade this stubborn boy no matter how much he persuaded him, just as he could not persuade Rick and a few others, he sighed, and turned and sat back again.

After a while, he spoke: "Go back and prepare, time is running out." ”

Dylan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave the room.

Elsie hadn't been so excited for a long time, and although he didn't want to say it, Rick was really much more interesting than Dylan, he was funny and humorous, and he knew a lot about it, and he showed Elsie a lot of interesting facilities and people. I don't care if she's so excited, she hasn't had any playmates since she was a child, her parents are very busy, she has a heavy academic life, because she can't keep up with her classmates, she even has to go to school on weekends to make up classes, and there is someone to accompany her...... Always very distant, often let go of her hand, and don't play with her crazy, obviously about the same age as her, but always get along with her like a housekeeper, polite and polite. These days of hard work, today I finally let go of my mood.

"Rick! What's there?!" I have to say that Rick is really good at getting along with children, but in just a few hours, Elsie opened up to him, and he became familiar with the name. Rick followed her fingers, smiled and touched her head through the hood, "It's not a place for children to play, I'll take you around something else, how about the city lord's mansion, it's a beautiful castle, if you can keep quiet, I might be able to take you in and have a look." ”

Elsie was attracted by the bright lights, at the moment the sky was getting dark, there was a warm light, and there were many people talking and laughing and noisy voices, it looked very interesting, she had never seen such a place when she was at home, Rick sighed: "It's a tavern, you really can't go now, it's getting late now, I should take you back, next time I have a chance to take you to see it during the day?" Elsie also felt that he was troublesome to others too much, and said with a shameful smile: " It's okay, I don't really want to go. Rick saw her smile cutely, and couldn't help but take the opportunity to pinch her face: "That's good." Then the two of them rejoiced and went to the neighborhood of Hunter.

Dylan came out of Hans's room and waited in the hall on the first floor for a long time, but he never saw Rick and Elsie, and secretly regretted that he shouldn't have given the child to a playboy like Rick.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that he saw two figures, one big and one small, walking in with a smile, Dylan was stunned, he had rarely seen Elsie so happy in the past two days, it seemed that Rick was really good for children. Seeing Dylan, Elsie ran over in small steps and said, "We're back, sorry to keep you waiting, I'm too playful." ”

Dylan shook his head at her, and looked up at Rick again, there seemed to be inexplicable emotion in his eyes, Rick walked over and put his arm around his shoulder, "He told you too, didn't he?" ”

Dylan nodded, frowning at him again. Rick laughed, "Don't look at me like that! what you hear thinks, so do I." As soon as I heard it, I knew that you must stay, and since you are each other, don't blame me anymore!Look at your little eyes-" Dylan slapped Rick's chest with his elbow, and Rick bent over his chest and coughed a few times, but the laughter did not stop, looking lifeless, and as if he was relieved: "You're going to be fast, it's going to be a few months, I'll have to work hard, I'll see you then, I can't be worse than you." Dylan nodded, tugging at Elsie's cloak and signaling that it was time to follow him home. Elsie silently followed, and Rick waved goodbye to the kid behind him.

Elsie waved back, what she saw just now was in the clouds, Dylan was just a few looks, a few movements, Rick could immediately understand what he was thinking, and gave an answer, although one of them did not speak, the communication between the two was not hindered at all, it seemed that they must be very tacit friends. Alas, I really envy, when will I have such a tacit understanding of friends to this extent, it must be difficult, Elsie sighed, saw Dylan walking fast, and trotted a few steps to keep up.
