Chapter 690: Impulsive
"The work of the Supervisor...... You just quit like that? At first glance, when he heard Old Hard's words, the coldness on Feng Chen's face faded significantly, and was replaced by a surprised expression. However, the surprise only lasted for a second, and the young hunter puffed out his cheeks, and his face sank again: "Swaggering away from the Knights, pretending that nothing had happened, is this the way you thought of getting away with it?" β
"I didn't want ......"
"If you bury all those misdeeds and culpabilities in the union's top-secret commission report along with the badge, you will be able to stand in front of me and the younger generation of Xuelin Village with peace of mind, right?" The Dragonwhisperer laughed, and seemed to think it was a brilliant idea.
"It's not what you thinkβ" From the moment he entered the Order, Hader was ready to bear the guilt it represented to death, and besides, the Order had to report to the chief deacon even for free movement, let alone casually give up his position. Seeing that Feng Chen still didn't believe it, the old hunter gritted his teeth: "It was Morin who fired me, just two days ago, not long after I got that information about the volcano. β
The order came suddenly, and the Knights were conducting a review near the border, and before the Guild had time to recover the old hunter's badge and the transfer of the airship, he successfully transferred a small ship and drove all the way into the interior of Ryan Yeru.
"You mean, you haven't done enough to be a supervisor of the Knights, and you don't want to leave that smoky hunting group until now?"
Now that the remnants of the dust are still in the dust, no matter what Harder says, he will only be used as a reason to refute himself. The old hunter had no way to defend himself, and he didn't want to confess, so he could only avoid the eyes of the dust, and there was a bitterness in his throat.
"I'm not going back with you, don't want me to get on that airship." The young hunter sheathed the knife in his hand and said resolutely, even with some provocation. In a hunting ground free of monsters, four heavily armed airships failed to stop his escape, and Dusty didn't believe that if he did do it, Harder could do better with a thin boat.
"Scales needs me, and I still have things to do in the Emerald Tower. Waste your time on me, and take your ship back to Scarlet for help. If Loclac sends more airships, the country will have fewer losses, which is what a hunter should do. Or have you been a knight for too long and have lost sight of your duties as a hunter? β
"Scarlet's aid is already on the way, and I'm worried about youβ" Harder blurted out. There was a blood plague near the border, and Ryan Yelu couldn't hide the situation in the country anymore, and it was only a matter of time before the union headquarters took action. The commission involves the affairs of the border between the two countries, and the Knights have been mobilized for this purpose from the beginning, "The size of the flying population on the periphery of this hunting ground has become the climate, and even the Knights' airships have a lot of effort to break in. He pointed to the Scales' ship, "Do you expect to escape with such an airship?" β
"That's what I thought." Instead, Feng Chen gave a mocking smile and pointed to his nose and said, "You should know that these Shadow Hunters will never have to worry about monster attacks, as long as I'm still on the ship. β
"What if it's a hunter? It won't be long before the Guild of Ryan Yelu will be concerned about the chaos in the Emerald Tower......" Old Harder changed his words, "this country is very different from Scarlet, and once they have made up their minds, it will not be the airships and knights who will surround you, but the army!" The Ruins Hunting Ground is not the place for you to come, and even I can't save you this time! β
"I don't need you to save me!" Dusty pinned his head to the side. For some reason, the gunshot wound that ran through the two of them before parting last time has not been tacitly mentioned until now.
"Wait a minute, you mean...... Scarlet already has a team of hunters sent here? Old Harder was about to say something, but the voice of the white night sounded beside him. Captain Scales had already stepped down the gangway and stood in front of the two of them, but Harder and Sealed Dust were too focused on each other to even notice when the Ironclad Hunter was approaching.
"I'm sorry." Seeing that the eyes of the two turned to him in unison, Bai Ye waved his hand and said, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but the information that this Mr. Hader talked about, Reverse Scale happened to be a little interested." β
"You're ......," Harder muttered.
"White Night, if you are serving in the Knights, you must have heard my name." Captain Reverse Scales nodded as a salute. Even though Harder is no longer in the Order, the handshake between the Guild Hunters and the Shadow Hunters doesn't seem right for anyone.
"The Underworld's Nightmare Squad?" A thick wariness rose in the old hunter's eyes, "Thunder - what did you hear just now?" β
"Not much," Hakuya pouted, "that's why we're expecting you to explain more." We want to know when the union team departed, and you should know something about coming from near the volcano, right? β
"It's easy to think about, union hunters never leak information to poachers." Harder retracted his expression and said in a cold voice.
"Haven't you leaked quite a bit?" Captain Reverse Scale patted the young hunter on the shoulder, "Sealing the dust is our man, and when we get back to the airship, he will always tell us everything." β
Harder kept silent, just stared straight at Dust, as if asking something, and the young hunter looked away from him, giving him no response.
"I've seen it back on the airship, and your deck is not guarded by hunters, and the weapons bay doesn't seem to be well manned. You're the only hunter who showed up from beginning to end - this ship set off in such a hurry, I'm afraid you didn't get the commission of the union, but you transferred it out of your own hands, right? Bai Ye pointed at the silver boat in the distance, and guessed, "You are secretly in contact with poachers in the public hunting boat, and if the union knows that you are doing this, it will be a small matter to take off this badge at that time, and you will probably taste the taste of the prison you have opened soon." β
"What do you want to say?" Harder's face turned blue, "Do you think this can threaten me?" β
"It's not a threat. If you want me to see, you can rush to the Emerald Tower like this, Bacheng never thought about going back. Bai Ye showed a confident smile, but Feng Chen beside him heard a change in his heart. Fang himself was on the verge of anger, and until the Shadowhunter reminded him, he had not considered at all how much the old hunter would have to pay for coming to him.
Leaving the Knights in such a hurry, and rushing to the depths of Ryan Yelu, Harder may have something else to hide, this thought flashed through Feng Chen's heart.
"Mr. Harder, you should know that I've been through a lot of things, too." Captain Scales whispered, "I don't recognize you, but I recognize this look, and most desperate people look like this." Since you are not afraid of the prison of the Knights, what does it matter if you give us some inconsequential information? β
The old knight watched Bai Ye's every move, and only after suppressing the discoloration on his face did he ask in a low voice, "Your purpose is also Gu Long, right?" β
"No, the appetite of the reverse scale is not that big, all we want is the material of a dragon's family, that's all." Bai Ye replied crisply.
Hard's mind moved slightly, and he figured out the joints in a moment, and he looked directly into the eyes of the ironclad hunters: "The Hunters' Guild is not so easy to threaten. β
Bai Ye shrugged his shoulders and looked back at the airship wrapped in a tower behind him, the hunters and shipwrights on the ship, including the dust around him, were all relied on for his trip: "I've come here, I have to try to be willing." He turned to say, "We've already brought you the person you're looking for, and how about exchanging some information as a reward for the scales?" β
There was a moment of silence, but Hard's attention was always on Feng Chen. After venting his anger, the young man still did not want to face himself in front of him. Looking at the alienation and disappointment on Feng Chen's face, the old hunter had never felt for a moment that he had failed so much as an elder. Knowing that the young man had made up his mind and would not leave with him no matter what, a deep sense of powerlessness surged in his heart.
"I have another suggestion," said the old knight suddenly, "why don't you take me with you for the rest of your hunt." β
Feng Chen turned around happily and was about to walk towards the gangway, when suddenly his shoulders trembled, and he turned around and shouted irrepressibly: "Are you crazy?" β
The young Shadow Hunter took a few steps in front of Hader, tall enough to reach the old hunter's brow. He raised his head slightly, gritted his teeth and whispered to Harder, "I advise you to leave early, this is not the Hunter Guild you are familiar with, there is only a group of angry Shadow Hunters on the airship, and none of them will care about the life of an extra Guild Knight in their hands." Now that I'm still useful to the scales, these guys have given you a little more patience, you know, these guys' good moods are not endless......"
The old hunter turned a deaf ear to the warning of sealing the dust, but talked to Bai Ye: "The large-scale commissions issued by the trade union have always been supported by a complete plan, not one or two specific pieces of information that can be said clearly. The first of the poacher-related missions is always the Guild Knights, and if nothing else, my colleagues are now already heading towards the various hunting areas of Ryan Yeru. He pointed to his chest, "Not only am I familiar with the operations of the Knights, but I've also seen their dispatch near the border. If you want to get out of the next world net of the union, there is no one more suitable than me, what do you think? β
"Seriously?" Hader's proposal had greatly exceeded Bai Ye's most optimistic expectations, making Captain Reverse Scale also subconsciously ask. As soon as the words came out, he noticed it, reluctantly retracted his astonishment, and coughed lightly, "Of course the reverse scale is welcome, but I don't know what you need us to repay at such a price-except for sealing the dust." As you can see, we will never let him go, and he just doesn't want to leave with you. β
"I don't need anything - you're right, I'm on a desperate side, let's do a drill for my future career as a poacher. I can stay on your ship and let the Order's airship follow. If you don't want to, my ship can be docked far away, or simply send them back, I think I'm the only one you need. β
"Reverse Scale...... Flattered. Although Bai Ye said this, he couldn't help frowning, "I can't understand, why did you do this?" β
"I made up my mind on the way to chase him," Harder looked at Dust's figure lovingly, "as long as I see this child, I won't let him out of my sight again." Since the dust boy doesn't want to go with me, I can only settle for the next best. β
Captain Scales groaned, he used to be a union hunter, and he knew better than anyone the usual temperament of these colleagues. Harder's statement is equivalent to giving his weakness to Bai Ye. As long as the dust is still under the control of the scales, this rash trade union knight will not act rashly. Thinking of this, his last doubts also dissipated, and he smiled and raised his hand to lead the way: "Come with me, the Reverse Scale is about to take off, and we still have a lot to talk about next." β
The old hunter straightened his clothes and lifted his heels to the steps of the white night. But his right arm was tightly grabbed by a hand. Harder turned his head and saw Feng Chen's eyes wide open, looking at him inexplicably, and the voice of the dragon voice sounded in his head.
"You don't have to." In the past two years, the companions of the Little Hunting Group have been threatened countless times, but they have not let Feng Dust take the initiative to appear in front of the Knights. Although the young hunter will not change his mind because of Hard's danger this time, the unbearable in his heart is real, "Go back, Uncle Harder I know...... At least not such an impulsive person. β
"I'm at the age when it's time to retire, and the impulse is long gone."
Seeing the resoluteness in the old hunter's eyes, Feng Chen hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Is it because of that information?" What does it say? β
"A lot, there's something about the Demon Fury, and there's something about you. Some of the information has not been confirmed, but it is sufficient...... Enough to move me to protect you. Old Harder couldn't help but pull up Feng Chen's arm with his backhand, "That information just gave me another reason to come to the Emerald Tower." Even without it, I would have come looking for you as soon as I learned of the volcanic disaster. β
"Didn't the information be given to you by the Knights?" The Shadow Hunter picked up on the strangeness of Hader's story, and he shook off the old hunter's arm uncomfortably, taking two steps back and suspiciously.
"I don't know who made it," Rehard recalled, "and was put in a leather bag early in the morning and left outside my barracks." There is no indication of origin, no signature, only the coat of arms of the union printed on the first page, and the seal does not look like a fake. I asked the people in the camp, but no one saw the guy who was distributing the letters. β
"Nameless senior......" Feng Chen said without a trace, and only Nameless in the ancient dragon-level hunting costume can do it without a trace in the camp of the Knights, "Could it be ...... Did Instructor Anfi ask you to come? β
