Chapter 123: The Meaning of Hunting
"Look after the house here, don't go out, understand?"
Charles changed into a masked cloak and a simple Frac gown, and said to the tiger cat that was glued to his side.
The tiger cat was ignorant, a little confused, and some did not understand what the Charles meant, it had just been taken captive from the jungles of the New World, where could it understand the native language, and understand the gestures of these two-legged erect animals?
Charles had no choice but to crouch down, his eyes fixed on its vertical pupils, injecting fragments of "housekeeping" consciousness into its mind.
The tiger cat immediately understood, some of them nodded their heads, and obediently squatted in the corner of the house, where there was a big basin, and there were two big pieces of fat in the basin, which looked very delicious.
Charles lowered his hat, pushed the door open, and walked out the familiar route back to his home on Lutecia Street, where he had just entered, and Olive ran briskly, looking very happy.
"Charles, Reed has a letter, he will soon leave the Eastern Front and return to the royal capital, and our family can finally be reunited. ”
"Reed is coming back?"
An image of a handsome young man with broad shoulders and a large skeleton came to Charles's mind.
Reed Chevalier, the eldest brother of Charles and Olive Live, was reluctant to live at 17 Russe de la Lutesia due to his blood, but he was always generous and protective to Charles Chevalier, and would not hesitate to jump out and fight him when others ridiculed or canceled him.
"This is Reed's letter to us, he doesn't know about you yet! You're going to scare him when he gets back!"
Olive was genuinely happy, she probably imagined the scene when Reed and Charles met, and couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh, and there was a little mischievous look in her big aqua blue eyes.
Charles smiled and didn't object, opened Reed's letter and read it, the handwriting on the letterhead was very neat, the pen was subtle and restrained, and it was much better than Charles's dog-like handwriting.
"Dear Charles, Olive and Live, it's been almost a year since I left you unconsciously, and I miss you so much......... Half a year ago I was sent on a special mission, and for a long time I didn't know anything about my family, and when I came back, things that shouldn't have happened had already happened........."
"I think there are many hidden reasons for my father's death, but no matter what, it is not a reason for us to be impulsive, and if something infuriating happens, we should not make important decisions lightly......"
"I hunted three transcendents in a row during this mission, and I was fortunate enough to break through to the next seventh rank in the tempering on the edge of life and death, and I also had the qualification to return to Nasser....... Olive must persuade Charles not to be reckless, let alone to trust anyone, Chevalier still has enough background....... Wait until I get back......."
Charles carefully looked at the letter in his hand, savoring the hidden message between the lines.
After knowing the death of the Marquis of Lorraine, he immediately foresaw the possible chaos and reminded himself not to be reckless and impulsive.
Unfortunately, the letter came a little late, and Charles Chevalier buried most of his loyal cronies in Spaya, borrowed a small amount of foreign debt, and unwittingly stepped into the quagmire that his opponents were most looking forward to
"Hunted three transcendents? tempered on the edge of life and death....... Breakthrough ......." Charles felt as if he had grasped something special.
When Charles killed Horn Connell the Hearteater, he felt a special sensation arise in his body, as if a solid ice had melted, and as if years of depression had subsided, and he didn't understand the meaning of this feeling at the time, but now he seems to understand.
"Hunting" is the ultimate essence of the hunter system, every successful hunt is a trace of accumulation, accumulation into the necessary transcendent elements for advancement, Charles was able to successfully advance to become a scar hunter in Bayona's castle, and it should not be unrelated to the original overstepping to kill Horn Connor, the seventh-rank wilderness hunter.
"Am I going to go to the battlefield to sharpen myself?"
Charles just gave birth to this idea in his heart, and immediately vetoed it, and now I don't know how many people would like to die by themselves, but they suffer from no legitimate reason and opportunity, and now they ask to go to the battlefield, and it is estimated that they will bravely sacrifice their lives for the country.
"Charles, shall we prepare some gifts, visit my father's old friends, and when Reed returns to Nasser, find a way to get him a better position. ”
Reed is different from Charles, he has no title and fief, and his bastard son gives him little status in the aristocratic circle, but he has a military position, and he is less than thirty years old as the commander of an infantry regiment, and he still has some prospects for development in the military lineage.
Charles thought for a moment and shook his head, "We don't know about the military, let's wait for Reed to come back and discuss with him! ”
"I'll see how much money we have!" Olive thought about it, and hurriedly went to count her own vault, in fact, she knew very well how much money she had at home, but she just couldn't get rid of this problem of liking to count money.
"Olive is going to eat......."
"Eat it yourself, Charles......."
"Damn, for the sake of the eldest brother, I forgot about the second brother......"
Charles muttered a few words in a low voice, and after filling his stomach casually, he entered his laboratory, hurrying to prepare the stabilizing potion that his pet needed.
The cultivation of a mutated pet is divided into two parts, first use the spirit power of the irritable spirit to test whether the pet's body can accommodate the spiritual power, select the lucky ones who are expected to become mutant pets, and then use the spirit stabilizing potion to purify and stabilize their life state, and transform them into real mutated spirit pets.
With the blessing of the antique microscope and high-precision liquid measuring device, it didn't take long for Charles to prepare two stabilizing elixirs, sneak out of the night, and soon arrived at the rented house on the adjacent Fifth Street.
As soon as Charles opened the door, he saw that the tiger cat was already waiting for him at the door, and his long tail wagged gently, as if to show that he was not lazy.
Charles glanced at the basin in the corner of the wall and saw that there was still one of the two pieces of fat left, and it was clear that the tiger cat was very restrained.
"Guy, come here and drink this!"
Charles pulled out the medicine bottle, uncorked it and pointed it at the tiger cat, expecting it to reach out and drink it all like the big black horse Falman.
But after the tiger cat smelled the smell of the elixir, he jumped three feet high and turned around and ran, scurrying around the house twice and directly getting underneath, which was simply forty-one.
Xia Er suddenly realized that the tiger cat's sense of smell and perception were very strong, and he had suffered a lot of torture and pain after accidentally eating spiritual power materials rich in spiritual power, and now he was naturally afraid to death when he sensed a similar elixir of spiritual power.
Charles didn't have time to play hide and seek with it, so he lifted the board and grabbed its neck, and his two eyes met its vertical pupils, and his mental suppression was released with all his might.
The tiger cat just struggled for a while and gave up, and drank the potion with a "meow woo" grievance.
Soon after, the effect of the elixir began to kick in, and Charles once again pressed his palm against the tiger cat's forehead, and the soothing spiritual power fluctuations in his body vibrated with the effect of the medicine, and slowly combed the mottled spiritual power in the tiger cat's body.
Gradually, the fluctuations of the spiritual power in the Charles's body affected the spiritual power in the tiger cat's body, and the two had a strange frequency fluctuation connection, which echoed and depended on each other.
One of the important skills of the hunter system: spiritual contract, you can control and raise a mutated pet by regularly combing and adjusting the spiritual environment in the pet's body.
Similarly, the unnatural death of a pet can also affect the hunter's book, ranging from mental damage to vomiting blood and serious injury.
"Whew... Call... Whew"
The tiger cat, who had been tormented by the pain for an unknown amount, finally got comfortable, flipped a few and burrowed into Charles's arms, and snorted softly.
"From now on, you can call it boots!"
Remembering a cat who liked to wear boots and play with swords, Charles casually named his first pet.
Charles put his boots in the house and left the rental room without a sound, returning to his home on Lutesia Street, quietly looking out from the room on the top floor.
At midnight, a black shadow leapt out of the wall, and disappeared into the night after a few seconds
Behind the curtains, Charles' eyes sparkled.
"Lola, I hope your secret has nothing to do with me and Olive Live!"
