Chapter 57: The Meeting
Gailu checked the black blood grass handed in by the candidates present one by one, and after eliminating the two candidates who wanted to fool through with herbs similar to black blood grass in appearance, it was soon Lucy's turn.
Luci stepped forward, and the other candidates hurriedly dispersed, leaving an empty field. Ignoring the fearful gazes of the candidates, Lucy handed over the black blood grass so that he could get a good look at Gailu's appearance.
Although the skin is a little darker, it is not the appearance of a black person at all, and it is more like the face of an oriental. But then again...... How did you manage to squeeze out such big eyes?
Just when Lucy was maliciously speculating, Miss Snake had already finished checking and nodded at him:
"It's Black Blood Grass Correct, next."
Lucy didn't seem to hear Gailu's words, but squinted her eyes and kept looking at her, wondering what this woman had to do to become a member of the Twelve Earthly Branches in the future. He didn't move, and the candidates behind him didn't dare to step forward, and the atmosphere gradually became a little weird.
"Brother Hades, what are you doing!"
Rod's depressed voice came, interrupting Lucy's train of thought, Lucy turned around and saw Rod staring at Gailu with murderous energy, and couldn't help laughing, knowing that she had misunderstood something, and didn't explain, just walked up to Rod and touched her head, the girl immediately became happy again, and the killing intent dissipated.
Gailu calmly continued to check the black blood grass handed in by the next candidates, but her heart was far from being as calm as it seemed.
Just now, his hiding place was seen through by the hedgehog-headed girl, and when Lucy examined herself, she exuded an astonishing murderous aura from her, and Gailu could smell the same kind of people from her.
In this year's hunter exam, the water is very deep......
"This is the end of the first round of this year's hunter exam, and the total number of people who have passed is seventy-four."
At the same time as Gailu's announcement fell, several buses arrived, and a large number of Hunters' Guild staff stepped out of it with first-aid kits, and soon disappeared into the depths of the jungle. Then the bus whistle sounded, and the remaining staff members came to the passing candidates.
"Next, please get in the car and we'll take you to the venue for the second test."
……
The bus drove to the edge of the island, and it was still the same passenger ferry that took everyone back to the small coastal town.
There was a roar in the sky, and an airship with the logo of the Hunters' Association slowly fell, and the candidates walked along the elevator into the pod, and as soon as they entered, they saw a blonde man waiting for them.
After seeing the candidate, the blonde man showed a hearty smile:
"I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to the seventy-four candidates present, I am the person in charge of this hunter exam, Pariston."
"The arrival time of the next exam is expected to be 8 a.m. tomorrow morning, and you will be free to move around until we contact the candidates."
Hearing this, Rhodes stretched comfortably: "I'm going to take a good hot shower and sleep for another day, hoping that the sheets they provide are soft enough." ”
"Speaking of which, according to convention, the person in charge should show up for the last exam, can't you wait to show up so early?"
Lucy narrowed his eyes and took a closer look at Pariston, although it was the first time they had met, he easily saw through the distorted face hidden by the other party's false smile, and unexpectedly had a sense of absurdity in the mirror.
Is...... Nauseating.
As the other candidates were led by the staff to their rooms, Pariston turned to leave, his gaze avoiding Lucy, consciously or unconsciously, as if he was really just coming out to appease the candidates.
"Let's go too."
Lucy's thoughts were fluttering, but his face was silent, and he followed the rear of the large army with Rhodes.
He had a hunch that this trip to the airship would not be so simple. But I don't care, it's just that the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth.
……
In the examiner's lounge, the table was filled with all kinds of snacks and desserts, and in addition to Gailu and Pariston, the other was a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and wearing a hip-hop style.
"Pariston, why are you here, is the person in charge of the assistant so laid-back?"
Looking at Pariston who was tasting the snacks on the table, the hip-hop man couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, Mr. Sandy," Parristone said with a smile on his face, "It's not President Nitro who has returned, and I'm a little less bold on my shoulders, so I have time to take a look at this year's Hunter Exam!" After all, the Hunter Exam is the foundation of the Association, and as a high-ranking official of the Association, I should also take it to heart. ”
"Besides, President Nitro is considering making me the vice president of the association, so I have to do something practical, don't you~"
Gai Lu on the side did not hide her disgust: "In the past few years that you have been the head of the co-specialty, a total of sixteen professional hunters have disappeared, if it weren't for the support of the group of vulture jackals of the co-specialist, would you have been able to climb to the position of vice president?" ”
"Hahaha, Miss Gailu really makes me sad when she says this, as long as I become the vice president, this number will definitely be reduced."
Pariston took a sip of his coffee without changing his face, and his smile remained undiminished: "I almost forgot one thing - congratulations, Miss Gailu." If nothing else, you will soon become a member of the twelve earthly branches, and Hai, Si, and Wu are all dead, and the casualties this time are very large. ”
Caught by this remark, Sandy took off his sunglasses and asked in a deep voice, "I've heard about this too, the Deathrose people...... I haven't settled accounts with them about the Qingrin team before, and this time I dare to take the initiative to provoke the association, so I'm impatient! ”
"Who knows, according to the intelligence investigated, their leader seems to be an enemy of the president, and it is not surprising that such a thing was done." Pariston said lightly, "But now that President Nitro has returned, they should be destroyed as well." ”
Immediately, a smile appeared on his face again:
"Actually, I'm quite grateful to Death Rose, it's like purifying the water and removing unqualified impurities, so that the water source will be cleaner. From this point of view, it is not a pity that the three of them died, after all, there is no need for waste in the twelve earthly branches. ”
Sandy and Gailu looked at Pariston with a frown, but the latter was drinking his coffee with a calm expression, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"Really...... Bad character. ”
Gailu suppressed the disgust in her heart and chose to leave here. Sandy sighed, not wanting to stay with Pariston, and as soon as she stood up, she heard Pariston ask:
"Mr. Sandy, don't sit down for a moment, as a one-star relic hunter of the guild, I'd love to hear about your experiences exploring ruins."
“…… No, I still have to prepare for the next test. Sandy looked at Pariston's commercial smile and flatly refused.
"yes, that's a shame."
With a smile on his face, he looked at Sandy's departing figure, and Pariston took a magazine in his hand and flipped through it with great interest.
Until Sandy and the two left the lounge, they didn't realize that the idea of asking Pariston why he appeared before the second exam was unconsciously erased by the other party.
