Chapter 51: Martha's Rebirth
Martha's story continues.
Ain Cernat. Whoever has spent some time in the Codex of Altria will never fail to hear such a name.
There, she learned about the glorious achievements of the owner of the strongest Stigmata, and the horrors of the Knights of the Star Cup. At the same time, it was at that time that she naturally learned that there was a mysterious criminal organization called "Society" in this world, which was secretly an enemy of the church - and Ain relied on his powerful power to keep an eye on the actions of the other two inhuman-level monsters alone.
If the canonization province is the think tank of the Qiyao Church and the ruler of the century, and it is their measures and actions to ensure the healthy and stable operation of the entire church, then Al Ain is the backbone and confidence of the Qiyao Church. It is because of her presence that the Church is qualified to make any country in the world look at it. It is also the plan she planned to collect ancient relics that continues to expand the confidence of the church.
When approached by such a person, most people's first reaction is undoubtedly nervousness, right? Not to mention Martha, who was just a little nun at the time. To her surprise, though, Al Ain entertained her in a very friendly manner; During that conversation, she also learned a lot about Ain, including that the current No. 1 combat force of the "Seven Yao Church" was once a chasper galloping on the battlefield.
Like this sudden meeting, Ain's proposal was just as vigorous. She tells Martha that she is right in her mind - that if you want to save your hometown, you need more power. And to survive in a chaotic world, you need not only peaceful means, but also a certain hard-line attitude. In this case, Al Ain boldly suggested that Martha could come to the nun for combat training at any time in addition to her refresher classes - of course, Obsidian's combat training was painful. This is a kind reminder from her friend Liz to encourage her to participate.
After a short but intense battle of ideas, Martha finally agreed to Ain's proposal. As the head of the Star Cup, Ain is not only a good leader, but also a good teacher. Under her strict guidance, Martha progressed rapidly and soon qualified as a knight. For some reason, however, Ain had no intention of assigning Martha to work under the other Star Cup Knights. It wasn't until the last day of the nun course, when she was about to say goodbye, that Martha learned of Ain's intentions.
"The Way of the Hunter...... Speaking of which, most people just think that the hunters are a group of rogue bandits who burn, kill, loot, and do anything for money. But I know, you know, even in that kind of organization, there are quite a few people who know what ethics is and what is moderate. ”
"Hmm......" Martha nodded.
"I'm sorry for what happened in your hometown...... However, the existence of the "Northern Hunters" is already such a country that has experienced a catastrophe, and it is best to wait for a way to survive so far. Admittedly, there is no future in this way...... But it's also important to be able to seize the present. Of course, you're right to be afraid that if one day, the newborns of the "Northumburia" region will no longer be able to form a large number of chasseurs like their predecessors, and thus lose their value, then the whole country will eventually be swallowed up by the Empire and the Republic. ”
"......" Martha didn't speak, just nodded wordlessly.
"If you can't be them, it's hard to be a part of them, and it's hard to understand them." Erlengem is a small adventure group, not a chasers. Martha, if you can really try to start a life as a hunter while maintaining and sticking to your own bottom line, I think, you will be able to better understand what kind of people are in your hometown. After understanding, you have a chance to understand and persuade them, don't you? ”
- yes.
All this time, he has been hiding in a small adventure group like "Erlengem", and he has almost never seen the darkness of the hunting world. It's better to say that even if there is a chance to see it, these dirty things are blocked by their own head of the regiment, and they have not let themselves see it. She basically didn't know anything except simple wound treatment, and even if she was like this, the regimental commander just smiled heartily and took herself in - because of this, she didn't realize that even being a notorious existence like a "hunter" required qualifications.
And just like that, Martha hit the road. Despite Ain's small help, Martha did it and formed a new hunting regiment on her own.
Most of the members are young members, because they have not seen much of the world, they are better managed and more obedient. And Martha herself has set a firm bottom line for herself: not to get involved in any war between countries in order to protect herself, and not to participate in the trade of drugs, drugs, and firearms that are strictly prohibited by the church and the governments of major countries.
This insistence allowed Martha to see further, and gradually understood how complicated it was for the hunters to survive.
"I understand." After listening to this long story, Helliga nodded, "So many things have happened...... "Ain, the church...... I didn't expect Martha to end up with herself in a sense...... And after Martha actually appeared, Helliga also understood why Ain occasionally smiled playfully when he looked at him. She was probably waiting for when she would be able to make a bad joke about it.
However, after such a story, Helliga became more confused about what was in front of him.
"Since your hunting regiment is only entrusted with some tasks that are not illegal......," asked Heliga, "then why...... Will it be here? ”
"I'm just taking commissions in general...... But you, why did you attack as soon as you came up? "Speaking of this, Martha is still a little dissatisfied, especially after the joy of the reunion has been slightly diluted," Cross Bell's words, I remember that the hunting regiment was allowed to enter freely. ”
"Ordinary ...... of accepting commissions," Helliga scratched her head, muttering to herself, "Do you know what you're doing...... Not to mention that you are helping the wicked...... What's more, if you accept his commission, you will be the enemy of the autonomous prefecture! ”
“……?” Martha's question on her face made Helriga herself even more confused.
Seemingly...... It's not that simple.
