Chapter Sixty-Nine: Demon Hunters
Nalan Xingtian waved for a while, and the tree in front of him was cut down by him.
"Enough. It wasn't until Timos's voice sounded that Nalan stopped what he was doing.
Nalan Xingtian leaned this knife, gasping slightly, this wave breaking knife looks light and thin, but it is actually heavy, and when it is wielded, it is still a little difficult for the current Nalan Xingtian.
The blade is sharp, and the addition of the knife to the elements is also obvious, and it is full of incisive pleasure when used.
It's a good feeling.
"Are you really sure you want to worship me as a teacher?" asked Timos, looking at Nalan Xingtian.
Hearing Timos's loose tone, Nalan Xingtian was overjoyed, and he nodded affirmatively: "Yes, Mr. Timos, I'm sure." ”
Timos looked at Nalan Xingtian, this apprentice was almost perfect, and he couldn't find any reason to refuse, he was not a person who delayed and hesitated, and immediately said: "Come into the house with me, I will show you something at the end, and you are not too late to decide." ”
"Yes. Although Nalan Xingtian was puzzled, he could understand that such a reclusive master had his own unique temperament.
Led by Timos, he followed Timos into the hut, and down the stairs they went up to the second floor of the hut.
There are no extra wall separation compartments upstairs, except for a few load-bearing pillars, the entire floor is transparent, and the surrounding walls and roofs are slowly dried by the heads of demonic beasts, and the number is even more amazing than downstairs.
On the left-hand side, there are about 20 rows of tightly organized bookshelves, and the bookshelves are densely packed with collected books.
On a wooden shelf on the right-hand side, there are densely packed badges of different colors, gold, silver, copper and iron, and the sunlight shines through the small skylight, and the reflected light is very dazzling.
Nalan Xingtian walked over with Timos, and when he got closer, he saw clearly the badges one by one, there were badges of various metals, and each medal was engraved with these things.
Most of Nalan Xingtian didn't know it, but it was a little different from the magical beasts in the previous "Walmart Forest Encyclopedia", and the most remembered ones were a bronze badge and a silver badge, the bronze badge was depicted with the wind reindeer, and the silver badge was depicted with three wolves.
"Are these the glories of Mr. Timos?" asked Nalan Xingtian.
"I'm not showing you off your past glory, because it's pointless. Timos did not deny it, and his tone was flat: "What I want to tell you is the source of glory and what does it mean for you to worship me as a teacher?"
Nalan Xingtian had some vague conjectures in his heart, but he still said, "Please make it clear to Mr. Timos." ”
"Each badge represents a fierce battle, and when I look at it now, I still occasionally recall those things of the past, glory and sacrifice, bravery and fearlessness. Timos said this, turned to look at Nalan Xingtian, and his eyes were attentive: "Because these are the rules of demon hunters, you worship me as a teacher, and you will soon represent joining the group of demon hunters and becoming a member of them, no matter what you do in the future, silent or famous in the dusty continent, you will never be able to erase this brand." ”
"Are the Demon Hunters an organization or a loose group?" asked Nalan Xingtian.
"It used to be a powerful organization, and when I was younger, there was a dedicated guild and an academy to teach newcomers, but these have long since fallen apart with internal factional strife. Timos said this, his expression gloomy.
"Factional strife?How many factions are there inside?" Nalan Xingtian knew that Timos was a man with a story, perhaps because of various reasons for the separation of factions, he came here.
"The four major factions, the wolf faction, the bear faction, the snake faction, and the cat faction. The four factions have different philosophies, different methods of fighting, and different ideas about the development of the faction. Timos's voice was low: "You must know that when there are many ideas between people, strife comes. ”
"The Wolf Sect pays attention to self-cultivation, and pays attention to team strength, and the cultivation methods are mainly agile; ”
"The Snake Sect is different from the previous faction, as his name suggests, this faction focuses on poisons and foreign objects, as well as some strange illusions, and the method is more extreme, it is to hide in the shadows to kill. ”
"The cat faction is actually very similar to the wolf faction, they both take the agile path, but they are more extreme, for them, speed is everything, this faction is not so keen on power disputes, and in the end they did not participate in the civil strife, but hid it. ”
Timos said this, and once again cautiously said to Nalan Xingtian: "As soon as you enter my door, you belong to my faction, and this brand cannot be erased unless you die, you have to think about it carefully." ”
"I wonder what faction Mr. Timos belongs to?" asked Nalan Xingtian.
"My name is Timos, and I belong to the wolf faction. Timos said.
"So, who was the victor in the civil strife in the past?" asked Nalan Xingtian.
"There is no winner, a civil war has consumed a lot of the power of the Demon Hunter Guild, the entire guild and academy have suffered countless casualties, separated and disbanded, many people who are alive, those who have left, and those who have returned to seclusion. Timos's eyes dimmed, and he muttered, "We are all sinners for a huge organization that has stood for five hundred years and has been destroyed by us like this. ”
"In the past, the Demon Hunter Guild was one of the three dusty organizations alongside the Illusionist Alliance and the Mage Tower, but now there is nothing left, and there is nothing other than leaving many enemies outside. Timos looked at Nalan Xingtian, who also looked at him, and Timos said, "I have already told you the reason, even so, are you willing to join the wolf faction of my Demon Hunter Guild and become a member of my demon hunter group?"
The reason is very complicated, and Timos didn't say it too clearly, there seem to be some enemies outside, and the organization is loose, and there is almost no background strength to rely on, sure enough, it is a hellish difficulty.
Nalan Xingtian thought for a while and said affirmatively: "I am willing." ”
"Good, good. There was a little more joy on Timos's face, this was the first time he had explained all the difficulties, and there was no hesitation to refuse the apprentices, and the previous three apprentices were somewhat hesitant before they entered.
"Nalan Xingtian, you have to remember that once you enter my door, you will be a person from my wolf faction for life, are you willing. Timos asked again with confirmation.
Nalan Xingtian knelt on one knee, looked at Timos's serious and serious face, and said slowly but firmly: "Disciple, I am willing!"
