Chapter Seventy-Six: Determination
The existing world has weakened people-to-people interactions. Because of Google, we can find answers to most of our questions online. That's what Nick is doing right now. Through Google, he figured out the meaning of the Hebrew word on the sword.
'In the name of iron and fire. ’
A simple word, but it made Nick feel that this sword seemed to be made for him. The profession of a witch hunter is similar to that of Grimm himself. They are all on the edge of darkness and light, and they are all unknown heroes. Calder's saber gives Nick a strong sense of identity.
A call from the hospital alarmed a pensive Nick. Putting down the phone, he rushed out the door like crazy. When he arrived at the hospital, all he could see was the doctor's apologetic eyes.
"We tried our best, but she was already terminally ill with cancer. And there are just too many old wounds on her body. To be honest, it's pretty surprising that she's been able to make it this far. ”
Nick rushed into the room, and Aunt Mary had closed her eyes forever. She died peacefully, as if she had already known the date of her death, and calmly waited for that day. Shocking scars were revealed on the bare arms. That's Green's logo.
"She's a great fighter. silently guarded this world for thirty years. Now she's handed over that responsibility to you, Nick. Don't let her down. ”
Nick looked back and saw Lin Xuan standing behind him with a solemn face.
"Do you know Aunt Mary?"
"We didn't communicate, but I always knew she existed. She is a grimm who is a sticker to tradition. The meeting between us may not be friendly. But I admire her behavior, she is a real Grimm. ”
"You seem to know us very well? Who are you? ”
"I told you, I'm a magician. I know the inner world. And you're going to have to speed up your understanding. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Mary is dead, which means the city has one less Green to deter. You need to be ready. I'll go to her funeral and see you then. After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he didn't give Nick a chance to ask questions, and left the hospital directly.
The phone in my pocket rang. Nick picks up the phone. It's a homicide. A fugitive who escaped from prison has a huge suspicion. He put down his phone and prepared to go to the police station. But the hand touched something in the pocket.
Take it out and see that it is the key to a trailer. At this point, Nick remembered the key she had given him when he was fighting alongside Aunt Mary again. Having settled down, she put the keys back in her pocket and drove to the police station.
"What's going on?"
"An escaped prisoner. Because he was dissatisfied with his verdict, he killed his own prosecutor and judge. The most important thing is that you caught him. So we speculate that his next target is likely to be you. Nick's partner Hank answered his question.
"Then use me as bait." 、
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, it's not the first time we've done it anyway."
Nick soon paid the price for his underestimating enemies. The other party is some kind of dark creature, with a body more than two meters tall and infinite strength. If Lin Xuan was here, he would recognize that this was a troll. It is a powerful species among the dark creatures. What was even more terrifying was that the police pistol could not fatally wound him. This trait led to Hank's injury. Nick also had no choice but to flee the scene with Hank.
At this time, Nick finally remembered the trailer that Aunt Mary had left behind. In a remote parking lot, he found a trailer. See the centuries of your family's heritage.
All sorts of weapons, hanging in trailers, in closets. Most of them are cold weapons, but there are also a few modern thermal weapons. The other shelf is filled with all kinds of bottles and cans. It contained all sorts of strangely shaped items, even parts of unidentified creatures, as well as all sorts of strange liquids and powders.
On a small single table, several huge, old-fashioned, thread-like books occupy the entire table. Nick opened one of the books and saw that it detailed the various dark creatures that his ancestors had hunted for hundreds of years. Including their characteristics, combat effectiveness, as well as various weaknesses.
Nick found information about trolls in it. Adult trolls have super defensive skins. It is very difficult to kill them with conventional weapons. Nick's ancestors once used a giant shotgun with a targeted drug to kill trolls.
Having found a way, Nick quickly found the special gun. It's a shotgun with three barrels. Use special matching bullets. Once fired, three different bullets will be fired at the same time. Combined with a special potion, it's enough to kill an adult troll.
In order to ensure the success of the plan, Nick enlists his werewolf friend Monroe. Himself used as bait, while Monroe hid in the shadows and used a shotgun to wait for the right moment. It's just that before leaving, Nick brought the sword from Lin Xuan.
This is the first time Nick has used a cold weapon to fight to the death. The troll is armed with a giant axe. Attack him frantically. It's just that instead of feeling fear, Nick felt a strange excitement spread throughout his body. He even forgot that Monroe was waiting for his moment in the shadows, and only thought about cutting off the enemy's head with the sword in his hand.
The gun rang out, and the troll's body slowly fell to the ground. Nick finally came to his senses. But he had to admit that the battle just now made his blood boil. Nick looked at the sword in his hand, and his heart began to come alive.
A few days later, Aunt Mary's funeral took place as scheduled. There were not many people attending the funeral, but Nick was still keenly able to find Lin Xuan's figure.
"I think we should talk."
"Maybe, see you at the bar."
In the bar, Lin Xuan made two ordinary cocktails with his own hands. Nick was handed a glass.
"A few days ago, I met a Grimm creature. It's horrible, my pistol can't kill him. ”
"Is it a troll?"
"How do you know?"
"I smell you, and a werewolf?"
"Yes, but werewolves are my friends. He helped me kill the trolls. ”
"Well, you're such a peculiar Grimm. I actually became friends with a werewolf. Trolls can be considered a relatively powerful race. But you can't even handle a troll, and you can really be said to be the weakest Grimm. ”
"That thing can't even kill with a gun."
"Why do you think your Aunt Mary carries a sword with her?" Nick was silent for a moment, then finally raised his head solemnly and said.
"Teach me."
"Teach you what?"
"Teach me how to be a Grimm."
"Hehe, I'm not Green, so I can't tell you how to be a Green. The secret of becoming Grimm is hidden in your blood. Nick, you're Green. But I can help you with something. Say, arm you. ”
