My adoptive father was always working, and since the last time we saw each other in May, I haven't been able to come home for half a year in the blink of an eye.

Marin searched the map for a long time before he found the place called Pitts Harbor, which was in the northernmost part of the Union and the westernmost point of the northern defensive line.

Further north, there is the area infested by Chaos, the former Ingmar Empire, now the Land of Chaos, Sidney Union, the Kingdom of Kalam and the Free Territory of Ingmar maintain a line of defense against Chaos in the south, southeast and east directions respectively.

Don't think that these three kingdoms are struggling to survive, that was in the Middle Ages, and now that science is developing, Sidney has even recovered what was once the northernmost province, and now they are working with the other two countries to advance towards the core of the Chaos Nation - there is no such thing as intrigue with victory in sight, because in the face of chaos for thousands of years, all humanity knows that now is not the time to negotiate and reap the benefits.

The last remnants of the former Ingmar Empire, the Ingmar Free Lords, are said to have agreed with Sidney and Kalam to divide the territory between the three southern provinces of the Ingmar Empire and the three kingdoms without taxes - the right to trade between the three southern provinces of the Ingmar Empire without taxes will be divided between the two countries as a reward for recovering lost territory, uniting against chaos and eternal peace.

With the contract witnessed by the true god, the former granary in the south of the Ingmar Empire only needs to be purified and can be used as a rear, and there will be no more wars between the three kingdoms, which is enough for Sidney to unite and the Kalam Kingdom to die.

But in Marin's opinion, it is not known how long this war will last.

Similarly, Marin doesn't know what his adoptive father is doing, and Maya often misses him, but overall, there is nothing wrong with Marin's care.

And after Marin prepared a delicious sauce for Maya, the barbecue made by this leopard girl became more and more popular with the church, and Marin would be somewhat relieved to let her live in the church - although the safety of No. 418 Calfa Avenue has been further ensured after the renovation of the church, the experience of being invaded by invisible spirits still makes Marin feel uneasy.

So, until Maya learns to protect herself from the instructor, Marin doesn't want to send her back to that home.

Because in addition to the spirits, Marin is most worried about unpredictable people's hearts.

Maya didn't make a fuss, which made Marin very happy, although at Maya's age, she had the power to make a little child, but this girl listened to her adoptive father very much, and when the old man entrusted her to Marin, the little leopard obeyed Marin's words.

It's an obedient little leopard.

As the whispers grew clearer in his ears, Marin, who was leaning against the carriage window, withdrew his attention from his memories and noticed that the carriage had entered the west side of the city.

"I hear whispers." Marlin turned to look at Colin.

The latter was wearing the Tranquility Headband, and when he heard this, he glanced at Marin: "You are really handy at dealing with this kind of opponent." ”

"I'm more restrained by this spirit." Marin replied with a smile - this mission is a task accepted by a team of newcomers, saying that there is a supernatural phenomenon at No. 399 Carmen Avenue in the west of the city, because there is no death, so the guild has issued a mission, ready for the newcomers to do a comprehensive investigation to see what type of spirit it is.

This kind of task is very simple, even if you let Marin do it, it will not be a problem, but the problem is ...... Something went wrong.

There were whispers in the small half of the Chengxi District neighborhood near the south of the city, the life and death of the demon hunter who took over the task was unknown, the nearby residents were killed and fifty-nine injured, and even there were spirits on the street at the most dangerous time.

Luckily, the sky cleared at the most dangerous time, and the spirits raced back to the house.

Therefore, the church can only send personnel, and considering that Marlin has a unique advantage in fighting against the fine control spirits, Colin decides to bring Marin with him.

Although their teacher was a little worried, he thought twice and decided to let Marin go to the scene.

And Marin can get 200 yuan of basic attendance fee for four-star missions this time, and then additional rewards will be given according to the difficulty of the event.

Already waiting on the side of the road, they had all the supplies and equipment ready, Marin jumped out of the car and followed Colin to the dressing area.

"Malfoy, what's the latest?" Colin asked the person in charge as he took off his robe.

"The situation is not good, the magic circle that is immune to whispers has been working, and the measured value is at three, a more dangerous, but not worth dispatching high-level demon hunters, it should not be a fishing strength, because a newcomer ran out of there two minutes ago." The person in charge turned around and whistled at the team members gathered there.

So the team members came over with a young man sitting in a chair.

Marlin is dressing himself in a dragonskin-resistant stab-resistant soft leather cuirass - this soft leather cuirass is so soft that it doesn't get in the way of any movement, and it can protect against the claw stabs of a large number of spirits, making it a very reliable piece of equipment.

He glanced at the newcomer and found that his eyes were completely distracted, so he took the helmet and buckled it to his head, and then put the flashlight on the left hanger of the helmet: "This person has been scared crazy!" As he spoke, Marin picked up the revolver on the table and pointed it at the newcomer, and when everyone was still confused, they saw that the newcomer suddenly held his head with both hands and began to scream.

It was an inhuman scream, very intense, and this time there was no need to explain it, Marin pulled the trigger, and the bullet pierced the newcomer's head.

"How do you feel there's something wrong with him?" Colin let go of his hand at this time, and he looked at Marlin, who had just been called to burst his eardrum.

Marin pursed his lips: "When he came over, the whispering voice began to get louder, at first I thought it was an external problem, until I noticed that his eyes were red. ”

"I didn't notice his eyes." The guy named Malfoy said.

"My personal advice is that all surviving citizens need to be fully tested." Marin buckled the belt of arms to his waist, then loaded the revolver in his hand and put it in the holster: "Colin, we need reinforcements, our opponent is a big problem." ”

"Well, that's going to release the pigeon." Colin nodded, despite his young age, Marin still had a great advantage in identifying spirits - because he had been able to fully confirm the identity of his enemies in previous tests and trials.

Colin even said that Marin's talent in this area was even more advantageous than that of some professional 'investigators'.

Marin only smiled shyly at this - the world is still very backward in investigating spirits, and the notebook in Marin's hand that records the information about the spirits he knows is to a certain extent easier than the rote memorization of the demon hunters themselves.

A good memory is better than a bad pen.

Having completed the equipment, Colin decided to go outside the site for a reconnaissance.

Since he wasn't going to break in first, Marin followed and took a look.

This glance at Marin regrets - the entire 399 Carmen Avenue is now surrounded by a police cordon, if it is just a simple siege, it is nothing, but the problem is that now all the windows of the entire three-story building of 399 are green and black.

In this case, don't talk about Marlin, ten Collins can't do anything about it.

"Things are more troublesome than we thought, and this time we must abort the mission and summon a higher-level demon hunter." Colin is not a fool either, the spirit of this difficulty is no longer something they can solve, but the problem solves them.

So reinforcements were summoned, and Marin and Colin withdrew with the men for some distance, and some of the demon hunters who had come over for reinforcements were already starting to build the street fort, so everyone retreated into the street fort.

"I've never seen anything like it." Malfoy glanced at the small building, "Colin, is this a precursor to the spirit tide?" ”

"How do I know, but it shouldn't be, judging from the time, it hasn't arrived yet." Colin shook his head and replied solemnly, "I'd rather think of this incident as an isolated outbreak, after all, in addition to the Spirit Tide, it is quite common for small-scale explosive Spirit Tides to appear due to the gap in the plane. ”

Then Colin began to add knowledge to Marlin: "A dark green light like this, if it appears in any block, represents an isolated outbreak of the spirit tide, the spirit that appears from the gap in the plane will exceed your imagination in terms of race and quality, the only good news is because the gap is very unstable, the more dangerous the spirit through the gap will cause greater fluctuations, and it only takes a few to make the gap close due to overload." ”

This was new information, and Marin had never gotten it from his mentor.

So he listened with relish, and Colin also said that the voice and color made Marin know the characteristics of the isolated outbreak of the spirit tide - extremely dangerous, only a very small number of omen in advance can confirm the generation of the gap, if it is not a transcendent profession that is good at dealing with the plane, it is even more difficult to detect the mutation, so this is a very terrifying event.

Entire neighborhoods would even be slaughtered because of this, but this is not without accidents and surprises - for example, thirty years ago, in the United Crown of Sidney, a plane gap sent thousands of goblins from the Southern Isles.

It is said that a lot of the gaps opened that time were also very large, and the extraordinary professions of the entire royal capital were ready to fight to the death, and as a result, thousands of goblins jumped out of it, so that the big people who were ready to fight to the death felt for the first time what it means to use too much force - that day, there was a ninety-year-old transcendent who died suddenly because the gap was too excited to open, which was the only casualty of that gap opening.

Having said that, in addition to humans, there are many different alien races in this world, in addition to elves and dwarves, goblins are such a very interesting civilized alien race, with civilized and civilized thoughts, different from humans, they are alien races.

Fairy individuals are about 20 centimeters in size, they are natural mages, and their overflowing magic power will gather into fairy powder on the wings of the human world, which is a very important alchemical material.

It is said that the United King spent a lot of money to recover and send these goblins back to the Southern Isles, and out of gratitude, the goblins granted His Majesty Morwis the royal chamber of commerce to monopolize the trading rights of the elf powder in the human area, and these goblins also established a chamber of commerce in Sidney, in addition to selling healing potions made by the elves, and also responsible for selling rare materials collected by elven creatures friendly with the elves in the outer plane.

So, the gap is like a six-nest revolver stuffed with five bullets, and you never know what's flying out of the shot you're about to pull the trigger.

"If you can, I'd suggest you get as far away from this kind of event as possible before Ladder Five." Colin made a final statement.

He also told Marlin about the fact that he should only have a Ladder Six.
