Chapter 159: Return from the Hunt

"Won't you teach her a little swordsmanship?" a voice suddenly sounded in Arrogant's mind.

It was the Ringwraith, and she appeared without warning.

But Proud Horizon doesn't seem to be surprised at all.

"At her age, she has passed the best time to learn martial arts, learning martial arts for a while, if it is not a genius, or a great fortune, if you miss the opportunity, your entry will be slow, and your achievements will be limited. ”

Ao Zongheng paused for a moment and added: "And learning martial arts in this world may bring her greater danger." ”

The Ringwraith didn't speak again.

While Bao Lin was still outside the house at lunchtime, Fei Lin looked at the window, and she didn't seem to even move her position, letting the snowflakes fall on her.

"Don't bother her. Arrogantly commanded lightly.

"She'll get cold", Fei Lin was a little worried, he looked at Ao Zongheng with expectant eyes, he knew that only Uncle Ao could persuade Bao Lin to come back.

"What she has to do is a hundred times more difficult and dangerous than the wind and cold, if even the wind and cold can knock her down, it is better to give up as soon as possible. ”

So Felin had no choice but to shut up.

For dinner, there was wolf meat, which was said to have been killed by Dio Doli in the snowy forest, and the wolf meat was much coarser than other common meats, and was best used for stewing - Piganbo was really a good cook, and even knew how to cook wolf meat. The clay pot is filled with various spices, and the meat pieces cut into suitable sizes are soaked in a beautiful sauce in the slightly boiling soup, and the cracking sound of bubbles in the soup is constantly rising, and the rich and complex fragrance that fills half of the room can resist this charming temptation.

Diodolly also came, but he did not show up at lunch—he was eating in the cellar by himself in his absence, and Piganpo brought it to him.

Doudou Doli took a sip of the black dew of Morgenburg and smiled with satisfaction, he didn't know any wine, but he could tell what a good wine was, and his taste for drinking was wider than that of Aoheng, as long as it was good, he liked it.

"How long is the woman standing outside?" asked Dio Dori

He wasn't in the courtyard during the day, but with his superhuman senses, it was natural to see what was going on.

No one knew the answer to that question, but Arrogant had asked about something else.

"I heard that the Demon Hunter is the best swordsman in this world?"

"Probably, anyway, my parents have said so since I was a child, in fact, because they have senses and bodies far beyond ordinary people, and some secret means to stimulate their potential, so no matter what weapon they use, they are the best among humans, but I haven't seen a demon hunter yet. ”

"Because they have so few?"

"Less is definitely less, but if they don't receive a commission from the demon hunter, they rarely take the initiative to trouble us creatures. ”

"If these people are so powerful, why is there no country recruiting them to serve their own army?"

Dio Dowry took another big sip of wine, stared at the wolf meat on the plate, and said meaningfully: "They hunt us as non-human beings, but in the eyes of many people, they themselves are non-human beings. ”

Ao Zongheng also took a sip of wine, he naturally understood the meaning of Doudori, so he didn't want to continue the topic. Unexpectedly, Dio Duoli still had something to say.

"I'm guessing you want that woman to learn swordsmanship from the Demon Hunters, and then let them join the Empire's army for a so-called noble title. Although he had been in the cellar, his hearing was not comparable to that of ordinary people, and he could hear the conversations on the ground clearly.

Arrogant continues to drink, and drinking sometimes means not denying it.

"The idea is stupid and simply won't work. Doudoli came to a straight conclusion.

There is only one key reason why the number of demon hunters is scarce, and that is that it is too difficult to become a demon hunter.

To become a demon hunter, you must start from childhood, at the age of about 5 years old, to accept the unique secret trial of the demon hunter, this secret trial is divided into several parts, but the most critical step is to drink an ancient mixed medicinal juice, this medicinal juice can completely change the physique and blood of ordinary people, it can be said that it is the most basic and important step to become a demon hunter, but this medicinal juice also has extremely strong medicinal properties, or poison, among the people who participate in the trial, only about two to three percent can survive the toxicity of the medicinal juice and survive. And the children who can survive will have completely different growth rates and upper limits in their nervous responses, muscle and bone strength.

This ancient and miraculous potion, although it can change a person's physique and bloodline, it is only effective for children who have not yet begun to mature, and for adults, it is pure poison, even if it does not poison you, but because your musculoskeletal body is already or is close to being stereotyped, it cannot turn you into a demon hunter.

That's why Doudoori says that the idea simply won't work - Bao Lin is past the age to become a demon hunter.

"However, I do think that there is an easy way to restore her to nobility. ”

"What is it?" Arrogant didn't expect that Dio Dori, a guy who seemed to be indifferent to the human world, would say such a thing.

Probably feeling the surprise of arrogance, Douduoli smiled proudly, and then said: "I have heard before that the Emperor of the Great Bogar Empire has a brother named Liuhuoer, who was captured in the kingdom of Miredang. If I can rescue him and send him back to the Empire, I think I can at least get a noble title. ”

Doudoli's words seemed to light up in Ao's mind.

Of course, he knew more about the ins and outs of Liuhall's defeat to the enemy, and perhaps even more than the vast majority of the Empire, but he never thought about what this matter had to do with him, let alone to save Liuhall.

During this period of time, he has heard a lot of things about Liuhall's rebellion, and knows that this is a rare emperor who has a very good reputation in all levels of the empire, but this is not enough for him to come up with the idea of rescuing him, in fact, his inner thoughts, on the contrary, hope that the current Emperor will be able to exchange a period of peace for the freedom of Liuhall. This is also what he once said to Tiyan.

Doudoli's words are not unreasonable, with the favor of Emperor Chalin on Liu'er's Ting, it may be difficult for him to give up his territory for the freedom of Liu'er's Ting, but if anyone can rescue Liu'er's Ting, Emperor Shalin will definitely not be stingy with heavy rewards, and a mere aristocratic title is not a problem at all. However, if he intervenes to help Bao Lin fulfill her father's wish, it would be contrary to his own original intention.

Ao Zongheng didn't think too much about it, and something from the outside world disturbed him - Bao Lin, who had been standing motionless outside the courtyard, suddenly collapsed.

Bao Lin was frozen and fainted, this is really normal, it is the deep winter season, and in order to show her swordsmanship to Aozong, it is impossible for her to wear a thick winter coat, so she stood in the wind and snow for most of the day, and it is strange not to freeze and faint.

Freezing sickness is not a trivial matter, if not a line of difference from freezing to death, at most it is a few lines of difference. Fortunately, the experienced Piganbo had already prepared a thick quilt, hot soup and hot wine to help Bao Lin raise her body temperature as soon as possible.

However, there is arrogance, all of this is not needed, and the blood is directly pushed, and after a while, Baolin's body temperature will basically return to normal.

Although the body temperature has recovered, the physical exertion is real, and when Bao Lin wakes up again, it is already the sunrise of the next day.

The first thing she did when she woke up was to find Auste, but Ferrin told him that Uncle Audo and Dio Doli had gone out hunting. Fei Lin also wanted to follow, but Ao Zongheng said that he, as a quasi-sleeve mage, should stay to protect the old people and women in the family.

was actually thought to be protected by a boy who was not yet thirteen years old, Bao Lin wanted to laugh in his heart, but he smiled bitterly. Am I really not capable of restoring the reputation of the Shernashak family?

When Arrogant and Doudoli returned, it would be two days later. The two of them went empty-handed, without any hunting equipment, and when they came back, they were also empty-handed, bringing any prey.

This person is a blood clan, and it is not a problem to go to Zalio Sakai, but he will return empty-handed?

Of course, this is impossible, and there is a lot of gain—all in the borrowing ring.

Winter hunting has always been the most difficult, it doesn't matter if the weather is bad and the road is difficult to walk, the key is that the birds and animals walk, sleep and sleep, come out and move very little, it is difficult to encounter. But under the arrogant aura, those hidden animals, no matter how big or small, have nothing to hide, arrogant is responsible for discovering, Doudoli is responsible for doing, only one day's harvest is enough for these five mouths to eat two months of meat.

On the way back, Doudoli had already thought of the menu for the next three days—not by himself, of course, but he found that Piganbo was a very good cook, at least much better than his parents, and that the blood of the Ichkoli family did not like to be close to humans, and naturally did not receive much about human culture and art, although his parents had lived for more than three hundred years, their cooking skills had always been like that. Since the great changes in his family, Dio Doli has been living alone until he meets Arrogant, and he can be regarded as really starting to contact human beings. And after tasting Piganbo's craft, he felt that he could no longer go back to the cold days of the past.

The snow that had been falling for days had finally stopped, but the snow on the ground had almost submerged everything into a white patch.

Getting closer and closer to the small courtyard, Ao Zongheng suddenly found some kind of abnormality, he crossed the distance of a hundred zhang between the three ups and downs, and landed in the courtyard.

Everything inside and outside the house was as clean and tidy as usual, but Ferrin, Bao Lin and Piganbo were gone.
