readx;? Even in the Imperial Capital of the Hall Headquarters, high-level hunters are not common. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 InfoThe high-ranking hunters with special titles usually wander around the empire, occasionally returning to headquarters to report. The Night's Watch had been working at the headquarters for many years, and had received quite a few high-level hunters, but in the middle of the night, it was the first time.

He couldn't help but get nervous, high-level hunters often symbolize strength and disaster. Wherever they appear, they are generally accompanied by the shadow of dragons, because they are the real dragon slaying warriors, and they can be compared to the beginner hunters and intermediate hunters who fly far away. That's why, the huge empire only has so many high-level hunters.

Although Ian's excessively young age surprised the Night's Watch, he would not doubt Ian's identity either. After all, as the night watchman of the headquarters, it was still easy to distinguish the authenticity of the waist card, but for the sake of insurance, he still took Ian's waist card.

The heavy weight proves the authenticity of this waist card from another angle. The Night's Watch flipped over the card, looked at the text on the back of the card, and he was again speechless in shock. He had seen a lot of hall hunters' waist badges, and he knew that their titles were basically given by the headquarters, and they were generally related to what the hunters were good at.

For example, "Sharpshooter", "Dreadnought Shield". For example, Div Miles, who died in Tellmis, was given the title "Sharp Spear" by the Hall. These titles are generally unknown to anyone other than those inside the hall. But the Night's Watch apparently understood, which is why he was shocked to see Ian's title.

"Supreme glory. ”

If it weren't for the fact that he knew this waist card too well, he would have thought that this waist card was a counterfeit. What did this boy do, to make the hall break the rules and bestow such a title?

The night watchman suddenly remembered something, it seemed that half a year ago, the hall had successfully hunted the dragon king Naga. Alder in the alchemy city gave a hunter the title of high-level hunter for the first time, could it be that this guy in front of him is it?!

Seeing that the night watchman's face was unpredictable, Ian didn't know what he was thinking, so he knocked on the table and pulled the night watchman's thoughts back.

The night watchman didn't dare to be careless, although he was not sure yet, but he guessed that the young eight achievements in front of him were specially awarded by Alder as a high-level hunter, and Alder's group of guys never played cards according to the convention, and it was not impossible to award a "supreme glory". Either way, Ian clearly needs him to be treated with the highest level of courtesy.

"My name is Chadgner, my name is Chadgner, and I am honored to serve you!" Chad, the night watchman, quickly stood up from his stool and bowed to Ian, "What do you command?" ”

As he spoke, Chad couldn't help but sweat in his heart. The late-night visit of a high-level hunter is not a good sign, could it be that the dragon has invaded?

But Ian's next words reassured Chad a lot: "I just wanted to check on someone." ”

"Check people?" Cha was stunned.

"Well, look up someone. Ian nodded, "Can I do it? I can pay a commission." ”

Chad subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it's not a bad thing. But check people? Chad frowned and said, "The headquarters does not have the service of checking people, but I don't know who you want to check, I can help you go to the City Lord's Mansion to ask, but it will be after tomorrow." ”

"Yes. Ian pursed his lips and said softly, "The person I'm looking for is called Shirley Kraft." ”

"Shirley Cave?" Chad said the name, feeling familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it, "Is she still alive?"

"Nope. Ian's eyes were a little lonely, "She's dead, dead for ten years." ”

Chad's face was a little weird, if it weren't for Ian's status as a senior hunter, he really wanted to ask if you were here to find fault? People who have been dead for ten years, and they still have to check, how can they be checked? The corpses have already turned into white bones.

Chad tried to make his tone more tactful: "People who have been dead for ten years are probably going to be difficult to find information." Although the City Lord's Mansion has information on the residents of the Imperial Capital, the person you want to check lives in the Imperial Capital, right?"

Ian nodded: "Twenty years ago, she lived in the imperial capital. ”

The corners of Chad's mouth twitched involuntarily: "Two, twenty years ago?"

Chad is a ghost, the City Lord's Mansion cleans up the information every ten years. I don't know where to throw the information from 20 years ago. And if Ian is looking for someone who has never been registered in the City Lord's Mansion, let alone twenty years ago, he can't find out if he died yesterday.

"I know it's a bit difficult, but I want you to give it a try. "And she's not an ordinary person, so she should be able to find some of them." ”

Chad was already angry, but when he saw Ian's eyes, the anger dissipated involuntarily. He had seen many high-ranking hunters, the best hunters, all with a similar look of indifference, arrogance, or rather no indication at all, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

And Ian's eyes looking at him were sincere, and there was a hint of pleading in sincerity?

It was the first time that Chad had caught the color of pleading from the eyes of a senior hunter, and his heart softened in an instant: "I take the liberty of asking, who are you who you want to investigate?"

"It's my mother. Ian whispered, "She's lost something here, and I want to get her back." ”

On the way back to the hotel, the night was at its fullest. When I came, there was a bright moon and three or two stars, and when I returned, it was already covered by dark clouds. In those alleys without candlelight, it can be said that you can't see your fingers.

Ian walked alone down the wide street, long shadows looming in the moonlight that popped up from time to time. The silence was eeri, and only Ian's footsteps could be heard in the huge streets, which seemed monotonous and lonely.

Just then, a faint whimper reached Ian's ears. He stopped, looking in the direction where the sound was coming from.

With the help of the moonlight, he saw a small dark shadow in an alley. After a moment's hesitation, he walked towards the shadow. When he walked in, he found that the black shadow was a black cat, but it was dead, and its belly had been dissected, and the dark red cat's blood was splashed all over the ground, solidifying into patches of red spots.

What puzzled Ian was that the cat was dead, so where did the cat meow come from.

Ian's question was answered in the next moment. The corpse of the dead black cat suddenly trembled, and then, a small black cat poked its head out of the arms of the big black cat. The little black cat glanced at Ian, meowed, and then turned around and licked the dead big black cat's head with her little tongue, whimpering incessantly.

At that moment, Ian felt that a certain part of his heart was touched.

"It's dead. Ian whispered, "No matter how much you lick it, you can't lick it." ”

The kitten ignores Ian, who in fact doesn't understand Ian's words. It just stubbornly stuck out its tongue and licked the big black cat's head over and over again.

Ian thought to himself, maybe the big black cat was also covered in blood, but it was licked clean little by little by the little black cat? He couldn't help but think of many, many years ago, a boy who was close to collapse wiped the blood from his father's face, and then hugged his head, silently shedding tears.

"He's dead!"
