?“ Is Na Ember dead?"

In the carriage, Green threw the question at Ian, who frowned and asked, "Why do you ask?"

"Because we don't have any evidence to confirm Na Ash's death. Green shrugged, "It stands to reason that the Dragon King should be the size of a small mountain, if it is really dead, such a big corpse should not be able to hide." ”

"You have a point. Bowen took over the topic, "Although the people of the Spirit Peak team did witness Na Ember being injured by the Source of the Dragon Slayer, they didn't see Na Ember die because of it. I'm sorry Ian, I know you and Dennis have a good relationship, but with all due respect, I don't think Dennis has what it takes to wipe out the Dragon King alone. ”

Ian was silent.

He wished that Na Ember was dead, that Na Ember was hunted by Dennis. In that case, at least prove that Dennis's death is not meaningless, and although it is just a psychological comfort for Ian, Ian really needs this psychological comfort.

"According to the surviving hunters of the Spirit Peak team, it was raining heavily on the peak of Spirit Peak that day, which means that the source of the dragon slaying is likely to be diluted by the rain and greatly weaken its power. Moreover, the source of the dragon slaying did not directly enter Na Ash's blood, so it was impossible to achieve a devastating effect. Bowen said slowly, "So, even though Na Ember collided head-on with the Source of the Dragon Slayer, the probability of falling directly is still very low. It's more likely that it survived, but was seriously injured. ”

"Feel free to do it. Ian turned his head to look out the window and whispered, "If it survives, then I'll send it back to the abyss with my own hands." ”

Bowen could feel the determination and coldness in Ian's words, so he nodded and didn't say anything more. His goal had been achieved, and instead of the woman who was almost unlikely to survive, Bowen would have preferred Ian to focus on Na Ember, who had not yet found her bones. Bowen knew that Ian was the only one who could hunt Nashen, and apart from him, Bowen didn't believe that anyone else was capable of hunting the Dragon King alone, not even the dead Quasi-Lord Dennis Granger.

Compared to Ian's indifference and Bowen's seriousness, Green is very good. He leaned against the window of the car and watched the pedestrians coming and going outside the car, this was not a city, but a suburb, but there were many pedestrians in a hurry. It stands to reason that only the merchants should be in a hurry in this weather, but along the way, Green saw basically a carload of people dragging their families. Their luggage was placed on the cart, wrapped in a rain cloth that swayed in the cold wind, and they shivered under the rain cloth.

"It's embarrassing. Green said.

Listening to Green's words, Bowen also shifted his gaze to the outside of the car, and seeing this scene, he could probably guess the reason.

"The news of the end has spread. Bowen said softly, "They all went to the imperial capital for refuge." ”

"Why do you want to go to the imperial capital? Green asked.

"It's true that the hunters haven't been called back yet. Ian said slowly, "Summoning all the hunters back to the Imperial Capital now will undoubtedly cause even greater panic. ”

"But people are not idiots. "There are always some people who can guess that the final battle must be fought in the headquarters of the hall, that is, the imperial capital. The imperial capital has a city defense second only to Alder, and it is the most populous city, so it should be the line of defense for the last battle. ”

"So they went into the line of defense first?" Grinnu said, "That's clever enough." ”

Neither Bowen nor Ian responded to Greene. The former is because he feels that it is not necessary, while the latter is thinking about many things. Ian looked at these pedestrians coming and going, unusually hurried, and his heart was in a trance, he remembered the conversation he had with Karan a year ago, and Karan said that this time there would be many, many deaths.

How many people will die? No one knows, Karan said that only a very small number of people will survive, and that is the spark of humanity.

That's why more than a decade ago the Liuyun event was called a disaster, but this time it is called the end times. The apocalypse is made up of countless catastrophes, like a powder keg that has been detonated by a series of detonations. Ian could feel that it was not long before the first powder keg exploded, and it was even likely to have exploded, but the news had not yet reached the imperial capital.

"Parking. Ian spoke suddenly.

Bowen and Green were stunned.

"Stop!" Ian raised his voice for the coachman to hear, and soon the carriage stopped. Ignoring Bowen and Green's puzzled gazes, Ian pushed open the car door and walked out. Their carriage was at the forefront, so when he stopped, the carriage behind him could only stop.

The hunters stepped out of the carriage in confusion and looked at the Lord of Thorns, who was standing under the rain curtain.

"What's wrong Ian?" Bowen asked, "Haven't you reached Lingfeng yet?"

Ian shook his head and said lightly, "You don't have to go to Lingfeng. ”

Bowen frowned slightly: "I don't understand what you mean. ”

"Whether it's looking for Nicole or solving Na Ash, it's useless to go with so many people, just like the Lingfeng team. So I'll just go alone. Ian said, "You go back to the Imperial Capital now, and at the same time send someone to contact Alder, so that the alchemists of Alder's branch can immediately rush to make weapons and then transport them to the Imperial Capital." At the same time, the Imperial Capital disbanded the Hunter Academy, and the instructor of the Academy immediately taught the basic hunting skills to the commoners. ”

Green seemed to understand something: "You mean, let everyone be hunters?"

Bowen spat out four words: "All the people are ready for war?"

"But it doesn't work out well. One of the hunters objected, "We all barely became junior hunters after three years of study, how could those civilians become hunters in such a short time?"

"I'm not making them hunters, and I know it takes a long time to become a qualified hunter. Ian said slowly, "I just want to give them a chance, a chance to live, just like the Terrans thousands of years ago, those who are willing to fight are hunters." ”

Who should survive and who should be sacrificed in the face of the apocalypse? Ian felt that the choice should not be in his hands, but in the hands of the people themselves. Each of them should have an equal chance, so Ian decided to give them hunting knives and the most basic hunting skills, just like humans thousands of years ago, if they want to survive, they have to fight.

Either for yourself or for someone you want to protect.

This is the original hunter, who does not need training, only needs to survive.
