Chapter 13 Doubts
Because of the peculiarities of their professions, as if they were investigating the death of Tielan, most of them have quite a lot of experience in surviving in the wild, but this does not mean that they like to live in the open. With the exception of a very small number of demon hunters with special hobbies, most demon hunters will create as comfortable an environment as possible even if they are forced to sleep in the wilderness - after all, a peaceful rest in the face of a fatal crisis at any time is the best way to restore and preserve their bodies.
Therefore, the service launched by the Demon Hunting Association includes the provision of outdoor equipment for demon hunters, including tents, sleeping bags, simple stoves and other necessary items for wild life, most of which are produced by Tianfu or the Dark Guild, in addition to having the advantages of ordinary outdoor equipment, but also for the profession of demon hunters has been strengthened. For example, the tent currently used by Tielan not only has the performance of being lightweight and resistant to storms, but also has a miniature magic talisman of Tianfu attached to the outer layer of composite fibers, which has the effect of driving away resentful spirits and weak demon beasts, which can ensure that the demon hunter can sleep peacefully in most areas.
As for the ground nails distributed around the tent in the shape of the six-pointed star apex, it is actually a small magic tool produced by the Dark Guild, which is composed of six ground nails inlaid with precious black crystals, which can shield the spiritual energy leakage in the array and ensure the safety of the demon hunters in the array, and if necessary, it can also activate the effect of spatial isolation, and the effect is also up to two minutes, but as the price of consuming magic power, the six expensive magic tools will also be completely scrapped.
"That's amazing......" Yihao looked at Tielan's equipment with emotion, even the demon Dakris probably couldn't use alchemy to such a clever point. It's not magic or technical shortcomings, it's a difference in thinking. Of course, in addition to the good use of alchemy by later generations, there are other things that surprise him. "But then again, Sister Tielan, are you really willing to spend money on these things......"
It is true that the income of the Demon Hunter is beyond the reach of ordinary people, but as long as it is related to the Red World. It is also extremely normal to add two more zeros to the ordinary standard. Yihao also purchased a set of fairly simple equipment when he was on the mission of a demon hunter, and the price of up to six figures made him gasp several times, and I heard that this is still for the sake of Shaodong's friends, and Tianfu has specially discounted the price - from this reason. Yihao also understood a little bit about why Protestantism was able to hold such power in Europe.
"Well, these are free sponsorships from the Demon Hunting Association, and they don't cost anything." Tielan replied casually, Yihao had a small pot in front of her, and the meat soup for dinner was boiling in the pot, and the tantalizing aroma was emitted as it was stirred.
"Kudo...... Sponsorship? Yihao was stunned when he heard this, but then he was relieved.
Although it is the business of the red world. However, Tianfu and the Dark Trade Union are essentially conglomerates that produce and sell goods, so establishing a brand image is naturally more important than anything else. In this case, using the star effect of "Youji" to promote the brand is an effective means - Yihao suddenly remembered that he had only seen the video advertisement in the elevator of the Demon Hunting Association not long ago, although he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now that he thinks about it carefully, it seems that Tianfu's exorcist wand is in the name of "Youji".
"Ugh. It seems that there are many things I don't know......" Yihao laughed bitterly.
The Majin Dakris is naturally a character at the pinnacle of darkness, and Siegfried is also a hero in myths and legends, and the two are combined. Yihao naturally stood near the top of the Red World, so what he saw was only the Red World. I have always thought that the red world is the red world, and the mortal world is the mortal world, and the boundary between the two is not clear, but there is a standard that is enough to clearly demarcate it.
However, participating in the Demon Hunting Association made him see it. It was somewhere between the Red World and the Mortal World, a far more vast and chaotic area than he had imagined. The more he stepped into it, the more difficult it was for him to distinguish the boundaries between them, and perhaps he could no longer use the red world and the mortal world to divide the position of the demon hunter, and what appeared in front of him was a society that was subordinate to the laws of both "spirit" and "reason".
If Yihao a few months ago couldn't have imagined that there would be such an unbelievable situation in the world, but at this moment, he couldn't help but be curious about such a society, accompanied by an inexplicable sense of closeness, thinking that maybe this is what the world should be.
"Anyway, it's really right to join the Demon Hunting Association......" Yihao muttered to himself, even if he was forced to be helpless at the beginning, he had never been so glad about his decision as he is now--it's just that this muttering fell into the ears of the eldest sister next to him, making Tie Lan's brows finally stretched back into the dark clouds, and without saying a word, he picked up the demon slaying sword on the ground and sheathed it, and knocked it over.
"Ahh Coldly, he was knocked on the head again, and Yihao couldn't help but hug his head and scream. "Sister, I've already apologized, the bag on my head hasn't disappeared yet......"
"Didn't you say it didn't hurt at all?" Tielan seemed to be still sulking, but it was not so much that she was annoyed by Yihao's various behaviors, but that she was annoyed by her chaotic thoughts.
It is naturally embarrassing to be seen by Yihao, but if it were a different person, it would probably have been separated a long time ago; Yihao chased her to Greece, and this intention moved her, but at the same time, she was at a loss for what to do; What surprised her the most was that the A-class demon hunter's license gave her impression that the originally indecisive teenager had grown up to be able to take charge on her own
While feeling relieved, Shi also felt a kind of alienation as if he had been left behind, and when he thought of how many dangers Yihao would face in the future, he couldn't calm down anyway.
As for the bizarre incident of the Demon Legion helping Athens fight off the sea beasts, it is not so important.
"Yihao, you ......," Tielan called out to her brother hesitantly, but was silent for a few seconds. Why do you want to become a Demon Hunter? Although you are a disciple of your father, you are not a direct descendant of the Iron Gate, there should be no need to step into the red world, and ...... I heard from my aunt that you are studying in the United States, aren't you? ”
"Ugh. That encountered something in the United States, and as a result, he fell into it unconsciously, and as for joining the Demon Hunting Association, ......," Yihao scratched his head as if confused, and then expressed his feelings to Tielan sincerely. "Of course, it's for your sister."
"Find. Find me ......" Although it is impossible to have any other answers, Tielan was still quite shocked when he heard Yihao say it himself. She naturally knew the intelligence regulations of the Demon Hunting Association, and when she thought of Yihao, she would work tirelessly to promote her rank for herself. The originally firm will suddenly cracked through the cracks, and an unknown warm current slowly flowed out of the cracks, and the warmth moistened the eyes unconsciously, and even the voice became panicked.
"I'm fine, I'm used to working as a demon hunter for a long time. There's nothing to worry about......" At this point, Tie Lan seemed to sense that his tone was too weak, and he shook his head as if he was about to wave away his vulnerability, and his expression regained his strength again.
"Besides, you're more worried than me! To be promoted to A-level Demon Hunter, you have to complete at least 100 A-level tasks in a few weeks...... Really! What the hell do you think! Performing tasks in the best condition is common sense for a demon hunter, and there is no one who works as sleeplessly as you do! If you are injured by accumulated fatigue. Doesn't that mean it's me? There is a limit to the chaos! It's true, it's been a child who can't let go of people from the beginning, and this place hasn't changed at all......"
Words of original reprimand. In the end, it turned to a gentle tone, and Tielan reached out to caress Yihao's cheek as if she was nostalgic, and naturally hugged him into her arms. "Really, how can there be such a mess...... I don't know how to take care of my body at all, do you think I'll be happy like this......" Behind Yihao's insight, Tie Lan's expression became as gentle as his voice. A flash of sparkle quietly floated into Yuhime's eyes, but disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Sister......", Yihao, who was embraced by Tielan, was buried in that elastic chest, and his breath was filled with the unique aura of Youjidi, which was simply a dream encounter. However, along with the nostalgia, what came to mind was the beautiful scenery that had been deeply imprinted in my mind before, and the picture of the peerless inscription sword that any man could dream of, and a look of intoxication and fantasy unconsciously appeared on my face......
With a soft sound as if something was out of the sheath, Yihao's consciousness flew out of the Nine Heavens in an instant, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Tie Lan's indifferent gaze, and at the same time, the white blade of the Demon Slaying Sword reflected a cold cold light, as if he wanted to cut off evil thoughts, and Yihao shivered as if he wanted to cut off evil thoughts.
“…… Yihao, are you thinking about anything strange? Tielan looked at Yihao with eyes that could hardly be described as gentle.
"Nope! Nothing like that! "Even if you die, you can't admit this kind of thing, Yihao immediately shook his head and denied it." I'm just thinking that there seems to have been such a thing before, Sister Tielan hugged me gently, so I feel a little nostalgic......"
"Ah, do you mean that?" The corners of Tielan's mouth curled up, and her voice sank into childhood memories. "It was a stormy night, when the lightning that fell cut the old trees in the backyard of the iron gate, and you were so scared that you hid under my bed all night......"
"What?" Yihao was stunned, he just said casually, he didn't expect to have such an experience before, but the thing that was so frightened by the thunder that he hid in the girl's bed was too embarrassing, so he immediately denied it. "I didn't ...... Isn't that the case? Generally speaking, it's a girl hiding in a boy's bed, it must be Sister Tielan, you remember wrong! ”
"Is that so, but I'm not afraid of thunder, ah......" said Tielan, who looked slightly frustrated for some reason. And Yihao, you weren't afraid of it that day, but after the third uncle scared you and said something like 'thunder is a mother disciplining disobedient children', you started to become scared, and then my father found out and was used as a joke for a long time......"
"Yes...... Is that so......" Yihao looked at Tielan with difficulty. Although I wanted to deny it, somewhere in my heart told him that it was not a lie. Although he has gotten better now, whenever he encounters thunder and rain, his body will always reflexively gush out feelings similar to fear, originally thought it was just a biological instinctive reaction, but he didn't expect that the root cause was the psychological trauma when he was a child.
"Then that dead old man actually instills this kind of nonsense in ignorant children......" Yihao gritted his teeth and chewed on the name of the bad father, which was his words, which made him associate the most violent side of nature with the image of his mother's land, and thus lead to an instinctive fear of Mrs. Tai - now think about it. That guy definitely had a premeditated plan to drag him into the water!
"Huh?" Just as Yihao regretted his childhood ignorance, the little fox next to him bit his sleeve and tugged at it.
"What's the matter...... Wow! Sister is confused! It's burned in the pot! ”
Yi Hao's gaze
The little fox turned in the direction he was pointing, but saw a scene coming out of the pot - Tielan, who was originally in charge of cooking, unconsciously diverted his attention while chatting. Therefore, the meat soup boiling in the pot was continuously dried by the fire, and it was naturally burned.
"Huh? Oh no! Seeing Tielan returning to the pot in a panic and wanting to serve it but her hands were burned. An indescribable sense of closeness welled up in Yihao's heart, and the relationship between the two seemed to have returned to the old days when the two had no guesses, or there was still the possibility of a more intimate relationship......
As a result, the meat soup in the pot was completely charred, and Tielan, who was not good at housework, showed a rare look of frustration, and Yihao smiled bitterly and returned to the original 6 o'clock. Bringing some of the supplies left there was enough for the two of them to have dinner. Although the taste of nibbling on the energy bar with sweet orange water is really not good, since there is Tielan to accompany him, there is nothing to complain about, and even the little fox has divided an energy bar and nibbles on the side with relish.
"Is it your pet?" Tierandi's gaze followed the little fox's cute movements. Curiously asked.
"Well, her name is Jingyu...... It's my assistant on a demon hunting mission. For now, ......" Thinking that at this time, it would be no good to explain the identity of the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, Yihao introduced Jingyu like this, although there was a lot of ambiguous content in his words, Tie Lan didn't care too much, just chuckled and shook his head to warn him. "I don't know how you met her, though. But Yihao, this kid is a six-tailed demon fox! The demonic power is not comparable to that of ordinary demons, and the intelligence may have surpassed that of humans, so it would be rude to treat her as an ordinary pet. ”
"Sister, do you know Jingyu?" Listening to Tielan's tone, he was not disgusted with the demon fox, so Yihao asked tentatively.
"It's not just looking at her, I don't know why I feel very kind......" Tie Lan shook her head, retracting her gaze from the little fox and looking at Yihao with a smile. The world says that the water is bad, but who knows how infatuated the fox girl has been since ancient times, Yihao, don't let down others? ”
"Poof!" Yihao, who was drinking a drink, heard this, a mouthful of water squirted out, and he didn't care about his wet clothes, and explained to Tielan in a panic. "No, sister, this ...... It's not like that, Jingyu and I are just ...... Well, it's not unreasonable, but it's not the kind of relationship you think...... How do you explain that......"
Yihao fell into chaos and trouble, while Tielan next to him cast an interesting look at his embarrassment. At this moment, there was a warm and moist touch in her right hand, and Tie Lan looked down to see that it was the little fox who came over at some point, licking her hand. seemed to understand what she said to Yihao, the little fox's smart black eyes radiated a grateful gaze in the blink of an eye, and the little head gently rubbed Tielan's hand, and a hairy tail flicked behind his back.
"Your name is Jingyu, it's so beautiful......" Tie Lan stretched out her hand and stroked the well-behaved little fox, but a sense of déjà vu welled up in her heart.
The demon fox who has cultivated to the six-tails can already turn into a human form, and looking at Yihao's panicked reaction, it seems that the two of them already have a definite relationship. Tielan doesn't think there's anything wrong with this, anyway, since ancient times, there have been legends of people and foxes falling in love, and now, even if there is one more trouble, it is only the second uncle of the head of the Iron Gate family, but what surprised her is that in the face of this little fox who monopolizes Yihao's pet, she didn't feel the slightest awkwardness, but her heart welled up with a sense of intimacy like seeing sisters, which is really incomprehensible......
"Huh?"
A gust of wind blew from the distant sea level, and the rustle of the trees of the nearby jungle shook the branches, mixed with the gentle sound of the rubbing and a faint cry. The cry was so faint that even Tielan didn't notice it for a moment, but the little fox who was being coquettish suddenly pricked up its ears, turned sharply in the direction of the bushes not far away, and rushed out in the next second.
"Silent rain! What happened...... Not! Yihao and Tielan almost chased the little fox's heels into the bushes, but they were also stunned at the same time.
Lying in the bushes was a figure they were all quite familiar with, Qingling, one of the signature girls of the Asian branch of the Demon Hunting Association, and also the youngest of the three sisters of Tianfu. Unlike the image Tielan had seen the day before, she was wearing the standard costume of a demon hunter at this moment, but the sleeve on the right side had been soaked with blood, and the scars from the fierce battle could be seen elsewhere on her body, both breathing and pulse were quite weak.
"Qingling!" Tie Lan, who reacted, immediately leaned down and helped Qingling up. "What's going on? Who hurt you! ”
"Iron ...... Sister Tielan ......: "Hearing Tielan's call, Qingling barely opened her eyes, as if she was about to ask Tielan for help, but lost her body in the end. "Hurry up that guy...... He's going to open the crooked cracks...... He must be stopped...... Otherwise......" Qingling raised her hand as if to point in some direction, but in the end she still drooped.
"Okay, don't talk." Tielan put her hand on her right shoulder, temporarily stopping the bleeding from the wound with "qi", and at the same time turned to Yihao and drank. "Yihao, go and get the first aid kit, she's very badly injured!"
