Chapter 4: Crossing the Village
"Well, I'll go first. "Carnet decided to go first, without further ado.www.biquge.info
"Ah, wait......" The girl seemed a little uneasy, "I remember, demon hunters don't accept commissions if they don't have money to pay them." ”
"This ...... Who told you that?" said Carnett, embarrassed.
The Dire snorted as if to mock him.
But in the next second, her attention was drawn to butterflies. So he immediately rushed to catch up.
Ever since the last time the two of them found a mage who was said to be able to turn monsters into human form, but couldn't afford to pay that much, Al had been a little awkward. Simply put, it is the irreconcilable contradiction between the Dire's growing humanoid needs and the backward monetary productivity.
"Actually, you can't say that you won't accept it if you don't give money. Other remuneration is also available. Canette tried to explain, and was really reluctant to take money from the girl.
In his eyes, this is just a small thing that he hopes to send a letter by the way, and it is not a commission. So, he also told the girl why he didn't want money this time: it was just a gesture.
But the girl doesn't seem to think so. She thanked her vigorously.
In the end, it finally made her settle down.
Thinking it was time to go, Canette found Al who hadn't had enough of it under the girl's watch, and rode down the hill on a reluctant Dire. The air was so good that Canette wanted to lie down on the grass and fall asleep.
In this weather, some sandwiches must be good for a picnic.
But the gap between dreams and reality is terrible. Canette only eats dry bread. After all, they are easy to keep and can last for a long time.
Now, Carnet has money on him.
However, he endured as much as ever, eating all kinds of dry food that was difficult to swallow day after day. The reason was not only to send it to the Academy, but also to save money for the mage so that El could turn into a human.
But if this continues, new problems may arise, and he did not fail to think about it: maybe he will have to buy two horses to ride after that. If Al had become a human, he would probably not have been willing to let Canette ride it again.
Then the accommodation fee may also be split into two parts. But......
He thought Al would be happy that way. So I can't convince myself not to do it.
I've been traveling with Al for years, and I've finally come across this opportunity. So it's a shame if you lose because of money. So Canette is now desperately trying to figure out how to make money.
But sure enough, this line of work is still sluggish. The money earned is also less, and the work is still coming and going.
But fortunately, the academy is doing well, and it has recruited a few new students (all orphans).
Two days ago, the college wrote that there was a guest named Lucina, and she also brought a customer. It seems that she herself came to visit. Cannet, who was reading the letter as he was walking, saw him and almost hit his head against the wall, because he remembered that he had only met Naiyah last month.
Maybe it's from the World Tree First World to the World Tree World Thirty-Seven World's Waypoint.
Canette wondered if she had cast a tracking spell on her and could always bump into her. But Carnet vaguely felt that there was a reason for this.
The reason is that sometimes the two of them are looking for the same thing. Canette began to suspect that this Aya was not wandering around as she had told outsiders, and that she must be looking for something.
And it's always basically the same trajectory that Canette is looking for, who is tracking his life.
What the hell was she asking about? Last time Canette had quietly noticed, Lucina was talking to someone. And that person had given Canette a clue before.
Lucina has quite a lot of things hidden in her heart, but she is very good at not expressing them. In the eyes of outsiders, this guy is just a bastard who has no heart and no lungs and thinks of what to do.
With this in mind, Cannet's attention shifted from the landscape. He began to pass through the village, staring at some of the villagers, either curious or bored. Truth be told, Canette himself didn't have much of a prominent position - but riding this horse, it was different.
Dire horses always attract a little extra eyeball.
Carnett, on the other hand, didn't pay much attention to the gaze. He doesn't really care what others think of him.
He wasn't even distracted, not even paying attention to what the village looked like.
Until......
"Mom, that person just talked to the witch for a long time. A child ran up to his mother and said strangely.
"Shhh
...... Witch?
Of course, this can't escape Carnett's senses at all.
The demon hunter didn't move, pretending not to hear. I continued to walk forward until we reached the middle of the village. In front of him was a small chapel.
It's the standard in a small village with the belief in the Holy Cult of Light and Shadow.
Canette looked at the chapel and saw people coming in and out. And in front of the chapel, there was also a paladin.
Looking at his armor, he should be a Shadow Knight.
Paladins are mainly Glow Knight and Shadow Knight. Although there are occasional paladins who use some chaos attribute magic skills, they are not called Chaos Knights, after all, it is the name of Randall, the leader of the Abyss Guard.
Chaos attribute is a mixture of light and darkness but not a simple mixture. It's just a mixture of light and dark, and that's called light and dark. Chaos is about mixing light and darkness completely, so that they are inseparable from each other.
The most effective part of this spell is that it breaks through the defenses. Ordinary magic shields and other tricks are difficult to stop it.

The Shadow Demons surrounded the streets, and the citizens who couldn't resist had to flee in fear.
Lucina, on the other hand, set up a light curtain after the people fled the outer city.
The Shadow Demon disintegrates into light the moment it touches the light curtain. Aya managed to hold back the enemy's attack.
"Don't you have to evacuate here?" the guards in charge of the evacuation were sweating profusely, glaring at Lucina and Gios (Lusa's father) who had not left yet.
"No, I'm waiting for someone. Lucina anxiously searched for Asha (Lusa's mother), and soon discovered that she had been captured by a shadow demon on the city wall as she was about to descend from the sky.
Reacting faster than anyone else, Lucina immediately shifted herself and the Shadow Demon to swap places (Aya was immune to this magic) and snatched back Asha.
