When Joseph took Ian into the house, there was no one in the house. www.biquge.info He was stunned to find that the small window in the room had been opened, and a small footprint was falling under the window, and the sunlight outside the house was shining on the small footprint.

"Uh, she seems to be gone?" Joseph was a little confused, and couldn't understand why Eve chose such a way to escape. But he immediately remembered something, on Ian's task list, one of the clients filled in seemed to be Eve?

He glanced down at the task list and saw that it was Eve's name, which he hadn't noticed when he wrote it himself.

"This girl, she doesn't want to see me so much. Ian shook his head and smiled wryly. He had just been outside when he saw a white figure open the window and jump out of it. He recognized it as Eve at a glance, he just didn't expect Eve to stay in Port Sophia, he thought she should have already made her way to the interior.

"Your Excellency, do you know her?"

"Well, you know her, too, so have you heard that her house was destroyed by a sea monster?"

"This is the first time I've heard of a sea monster invasion. Joseph smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, my lord, I myself am also skeptical about sea monsters, after all, there are so many versions of legends that there is no certainty. ”

"So you don't believe her?"

"No, quite the opposite, I believe in her. Joseph recalls the poor little girl who stood in front of his bun shop in the rainstorm six years ago, begging to exchange her body for two unpalatable buns.

"Why?"

"Because I don't believe her, no one in this world believes in her. "She is a strong girl, but sometimes she needs encouragement, and I believe in her, which is the greatest encouragement for her." ”

Ian was silent, and he remembered some of the images as well.

"You're a hunter, why don't you even believe me?"

"Really, there really are sea monsters!"

The saddest thing in the world may be that you have learned the truth, but the whole world does not believe that the most difficult thing in the world is not that you are looking for answers, but that when you have the answers, you have to win the approval of others.

Thinking of this, Ian said to Joseph, "You are more of a hunter than I am. ”

Joseph was stunned for a moment, and then panicked. He didn't understand what Ian meant, he was just a branch head who had been forgotten by the hall headquarters and had been struggling in the corner for thirty years, but was praised as more like a hunter than he was by a high-ranking hunter engraved with "Supreme Glory".

Wait, is that a compliment?

"What are the most important qualities of a hunter?" Ian asked again.

Joseph thought that this was a test for him by the senior hunter of the hall, so he pondered for a long time, and finally replied cautiously: "Brave, decisive, and fearless?"

"Is that all?"

"Is there any?"

"I don't know, I'm looking for it too. With that, Ian turned and left, and Joseph, thinking that his answer had angered the senior hunter, panicked again, and hurried after him.

"Where are you going, sir?"

"Mission done. As Ian passed by the table with the steamer, he raised his hand to pick up the task list on the table, rolled it up and put it on his chest, "If you don't know about the sea monster, there is no point in me being here." ”

"My lord, are you really going to hunt sea monsters?"

Although Joseph knew that he had asked nonsense, he couldn't help but ask.

Ian nodded, and he looked up at the seagulls skimming across the clear blue sky, leaving shallow scratches, broken white clouds. He was silent for a long time, and finally uttered what he thought was the most philosophical sentence of his life: "I still have to find the true meaning of the hunter." ”

Joseph was stunned.

He watched Ian leave, watched him step onto the sewage-ridden alley, and then his back disappeared into the silhouette of the sun. Joseph froze in place, not knowing what he was thinking, until a long time later, when the morning sun turned into a setting sun, and the fiery red glow filled the alley. Joseph only felt Ian's back still in his eyes.

It was the soul of a hunter wrapped in red flames and carrying "supreme glory". Once again, he burst into tears, like a child, shedding more tears in one day today than in all the thirty years he had been left behind.

As if he had realized something in an instant, he picked up his old body, rushed to the table like a fly, and directly overturned the steamer with steamed buns, and then picked up a pen and wrote something on the parchment.

It had been a long time since his wrinkled hand had moved so fast, and it seemed as if he had gone back to the green days of thirty years ago. Thirty years ago, he was only a young man in his early twenties, and he could still hold a bow and shoot arrows, and he could write hard. He seems to have rejuvenated the vitality that has been hidden in his heart for thirty years, and has completed a masterpiece in a very short time.

He looked up at the sunset, and the cloudy tears in the corners of his eyes were reflecting the glow at the moment. He muttered, "I finally get it, team leader." ”

Eve walked down the dark streets. She didn't know why she was running, she just felt like her mind was a mess. She didn't expect Ian to find this place, and she didn't expect Joseph, who seemed plain and a little obscene to her, to have such a powerful-looking identity.

Ian took out a gold coin and three silver coins and posted a mission to defeat the sea monster, and then took it himself. She didn't know who the three silver coins belonged to, but she knew that the gold coins were issued by Ian for herself. She didn't know why Ian was doing that, she didn't know why she was running away from Ian's help, she was like a puppet because her mind was already a mess.

So she didn't know she was being targeted.

These are a couple of ragged thugs who have been following Eve for a long time. They swore that they had never seen such a beautiful girl in their lives. The women on the beach are generally dark-skinned, while Eve is very fair-skinned, like tender tofu that is not common on the seaside, and they drool.

Eve doesn't notice that she has unknowingly arrived at the most chaotic part of Port Sophia, known as the slum of Port Sophia. This is a place where the guards of the City Lord's Mansion can't take care of her, so the thugs surrounded her without any scruples.

Eve just glanced at them and understood what they were trying to do. She has seen enough of this kind of wolf-like gaze, and she has not encountered it before, in fact, as long as she does not resist, she will not be insulted much.

She subconsciously reached for her hand at the collar, but froze for a moment.

The dress she was wearing was smooth and comfortable to the touch, it wasn't the one she used to wear, the tattered one that could be torn off with a casual pull.

"Promise me not to do that kind of thing in the future. ”

Eve bit her lip, then usurped her collar, looked at the three thugs coldly, and spat lightly: "Get out." ”

The three thugs were stunned, and then laughed. They just like this kind of girl with personality, men are cheap, and the more fierce the resistance of women, the more they can stimulate their beast language, in a sense, men are beasts. So they smiled lewdly and approached Eve step by step.

"Hey, you three, do you want to fight?"

The three thugs were stunned, realizing that the sound was coming from behind them, and then they looked back and saw a teenager playing with a knife.

Ian was holding a small knife inlaid with rubies in his hand, and the sharp knife was seeping people, and at this moment it was transforming into one gorgeous knife flower after another in Ian's hand, like a blooming firework.
