Chapter 46 Punishment of the Fellows

For days on end, neither I nor the dream got anything.

We don't know where the hell the demon went? Can't think of where else it can go?

Watching the dream get thinner and thinner, missing the demon, I really can't figure out the thoughts, by chance, one day, the shop guy's unintentional words caught my attention, once after a meal when drinking tea, he talked to other guests about the "demon hunter", I asked him, what is the "demon hunter"?

He told me that there are thousands of rules in the world, chickens eat rice insects, birds stand on branches, all of them live according to the rules of the world, but there is also a saying that the world is so big that everything includes some magical species, and the demon hunter is one of the alternative industries, specializing in collecting exotic species.

"And will they hurt those strange species?" I listened to the way the shopkeeper came to be, and I was worried about the demon, after all, it was indeed a little too strange for the mortal world.

"I can't say, I heard the saying that there are strange beasts eating people a long time ago, and the demon hunter stepped forward to eliminate harm for the people and maintain the rules of the world, and since then, the demon hunter has also risen among the people."

"Is there really a strange beast that eats people?"

"Folk circulation, believe it or not!"

The shopkeeper left such a sentence intentionally or unintentionally, and he was busy, and I saw the dream, and she almost cried.

"Xiu, was the demon really captured by the demon hunter?"

"Probably not, demon eating flowers will not cause harm to mortals, didn't you say it, man, demon hunters only catch strange beasts that are harmful to mortals." I comforted the dream while thinking about the words of the shopkeeper. That's right! The demon hunter is not the point, the focus is on the demon demon, doesn't it like to eat flowers? The rainy season in the mortal world should also be the flower season!

When I found the exit, I took my dream to the people who planted flowers and raised them, and I learned from the shopkeeper that there was a small town on the side of the mountain outside the city, and the people there specialized in growing flowers, and most of the flowers in the whole city came from there.

Not far out of the city, Dream and I found the town, it is in the north of the city, along the way, full of the fragrance of flowers, to get there, sure enough, as the shopkeeper said, the mortals here are planted flowers for a living, a few families are scattered between the flower fields, adding a bit of simple pastoral atmosphere to the town.

The adults were busy in the flower fields, and there were only a few children playing on the path at the entrance of the town.

I conjured up a few candies and handed them to them, and one of the children ran up to me, her clear eyes staring at me and the dream.

"Kid, why do you keep looking at us?" I crouched down and touched her little face.

"Because my sister is good-looking!" The childish voice rang out, and the other children followed suit.

"My sister is good-looking, my sister is good-looking......!"

"Yes, my sister is very good-looking, do you know why?" I looked at the dream, and she looked a little shy in the face of these children's liking,

"I don't know, I don't know!"

"Because, my sister is my brother's!"

"Xiu, you're naughty again, why are you teasing these kids?" The dream complained to me on the side. However, the children laughed as well. After teasing for a while, I felt that it was time to go, so I let them go back to their own homes, and if they were late, they would be criticized.

"Brother, our family has been very busy lately and has no time to take care of us!" A little girl tugged at my sleeve and wouldn't let me go with my dreams.

"No matter how busy you are, you have to go home, you go home first."

"The adults say there's a rich man who needs a lot of flowers these days, so let's take care of ourselves." An older child explained to us.

"It's good to have a business, when Daddy and Auntie get the money, I will add you new clothes."

"Brother, you said that the rich man is not stupid, now, many flowers have not fully bloomed, and they are about to be harvested, what a pity!"

"That's it! When are the usual flowers harvested? ”

"At the earliest, it will be January! However, I can't remember what the strange man ordered flowers to feed them, as if they were ordering them for something. The older kid scratched his head and ran to the side with a few others to play.

It's a weirdo again, I looked at the innocent children, and then at the busy mortals in the flower field, I didn't pay attention to it before, some flowers are indeed not blooming yet, so many flowers, or are they urgently needed, what will they be used for?

"Dream, you say, does the demon eat the flowers that don't bloom?"

"Eat, the demon is greedy, what flowers, grass, it eats."

"It should ...... Is that so? ”

"Huh? What's the matter, Xiu, did you think of something? Dream looked at me suspiciously.

"Let's go talk to the farmer." I pulled the dream and walked towards the nearest flower field.

"Excuse me, where are these flowers delivered?"

"These flowers are going to be sent to five miles east of the city, and a guest ordered them, and I don't know what is wrong with him, so I want these flowers to be done."

After the farmer finished speaking, he lowered his head and harvested the flowers, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied in his words, but his doubts should be no different from those children, but the children had just entered the WTO and did not understand the relationship of interests, so they only said that the man was stupid, and the adults were born, and they knew but did not say anything, just for money.

Back at the inn, it was already dinner time, and the three meals a day for mortals were not lost. At this time, the shop guys are very busy, and I think that in addition to the ones that usually eat and live, there are a few new faces in the store.

On the way, I told Dream my thoughts, according to what the children said, the strange man ordered so many flowers should be fed something, since leaving the Liuli Palace, I have traveled many places, from the Ethereal Continent to the mortal world, I have seen the demon eat flowers, so, I suspect that someone caught the demon and fed it with flowers. Therefore, Dream and I are planning to go to the east of the city early tomorrow morning, so we don't want to eat or drink. The enthusiastic shopkeeper refused to let me go, pointed to the two people in the corner, and whispered to me:

"See, those people are demon hunters, majestic!"

"Demon hunter?"

I stopped and looked there.

The demon hunter looked no different from ordinary people, but he was dressed in plain clothes, two long swords, and many strange bottles around his waist, and he didn't know what to do with them. I didn't stay long, and tomorrow I went to the east of the city to find the demons.

Early in the morning, the shopkeeper knocked on our door, saying that the demon hunter was going to the east of the city to hunt demons, and many people went to see it and asked us if we were going.

"Chengdong? Isn't that our destination? "I took the dream and ran there as fast as I could, but there were too many mortals during the day, and it was inconvenient to use spiritual magic, so I could only walk on foot, and by the time we got there, the two demon hunters had already arrived. However, the scene was already in chaos, and many flowers were messed up and scattered everywhere.

I looked around, and it was a sparsely populated place, with almost no smoke and fire, so it was really good for solitude. However, Yume found the footprints of the demon in that chaotic place.

"Xiu, it's the demon's, it's the demon's footprints."

The dream whispered to me that I had finally learned the news of the demon, and the demon must have wanted to kill her.

I told Dream to keep her quiet, after all, the two demon hunters didn't seem so kind. As I was leaving, I heard them say angrily, "If you can't run, you'll be caught by us sooner or later." ”

It seems that they are going to catch the demon, but who has captured the demon? I never figured it out.

When I got back to the inn, I asked the shopkeeper about the strange man, and when I asked about it, he enjoyed it, like a mortal storyteller talking to his audience.

"I think that strange man is also a capable person, no worse than those demon hunters, otherwise, how could that giant beast be obedient ......."

"Do the beast's eyes have on top of their ears?" Dream interrupted the guy and asked carefully.

"yes!"

"The mouth is wide, like a plank?"

"Yes, that's right!"

"It's ferocious, but it never hurts." Dream followed, speaking of the demon's temperament.

"It's hard to say, the monster was chained by a strange man, which shows that it is tyrannical by nature." The guy firmly established his idea.

"But sometimes what you see with your eyes may not be true!" Dream was so anxious that she was about to cry.

"What does that weirdo look like?" I held Yume's hand and told her not to worry, and if she figured out the situation, it would be easier to find the demon.

"The strange man ......, but he couldn't see it clearly, and the gray cloak was so thick on his head that he couldn't see his face."

"Can't see your face? Then he ....... ”

"What are you anxious about, tomorrow is another ten days, and the strange man will naturally walk the streets, just wait and see." After the man finished speaking, he was busy entertaining the guests again, and I looked up and saw that it was the two demon hunters.

"You two sit, what do you get out of going out today?" The guy at the shop quickly prepared the tea, grinned and asked, I think, this should be close to him and the customer!

"Don't mention it, let that monster escape!"

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be angry, catch it another day."

"That's nature, how can we tolerate that demon beast to bring disaster to the world!" One of the demon hunters patted his chest in awe, and the guy in the shop was even more adoring, and hurriedly attached himself to add tea.

"Yes, yes, please have tea."

The simple dialogue makes me sound very uncomfortable, this demon hunter has just come here, why do you conclude that the demon is a demon beast? The shopkeeper still worshipped, how could people in this mortal world believe in themselves so much!

After dinner, the two demon hunters rested early, I sent the dream back to the room, and returned to the living room, it was already evening, and the inn's business for the day had just ended, and the guys were cleaning up, waiting for the others to rest, and the lively fellow came to me again.

"Are you still thinking about the beast?"

"Hehehe, why do you ask?" I chuckled and asked him.

"I've seen you look at the demon hunter during the day, envy it!"

"Envy what?"

"Majestic! Demon hunter, that's so famous! ”

"Demon? Have you seen it? ”

"No, according to legend, those demons are ferocious and abnormal, and cannibalistic, which is terrifying." The shopkeeper said a lot of what he should be, and I interrupted him and asked him something that he would probably remember for the rest of his life.

"Then you see, is this a demon?" I smiled slightly, and looked at the shopkeeper, at this time, I am afraid he will not be able to answer. I saw that his black pupils were full of me, and that touch of blue was a little naughty.......
