readx;? What is the true identity of the Messiah?

Dennis's words made Ian feel a little uneasy, but he didn't want to explain it, and naturally he had his own reasoning, so Ian didn't ask much. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info two housekeepers who led the way in the brightly lit lobby, and many people in gorgeous clothes have gathered in the lobby.

It was a drinking party. The moment Ian and Dennis entered, countless pairs of eyes were aimed at them, which made Ian feel a little uncomfortable, while Dennis did not feel the slightest discomfort and seemed to be used to this kind of scene.

Fortunately, these people didn't keep their eyes on them for too long, and quickly took them back, gathering together in twos and threes to say something.

"These are the merchants of the imperial capital. Dennis said, "You might wonder why there are so many merchants at the Hunter Family's gathering?"

"A little. ”

"Because the four major hunter families are actually the four major merchants. Dennis shrugged his shoulders and said, "They have a monopoly on a lot of business by virtue of their transcendent status, and they make money from it. In fact, among the four major families, there are more people who can do business than hunting. ”

Danny paused, his tone a little cold: "Except for the Stuart family, which can maintain high-quality hunter output, including my family, it is more like a merchant than a hunter family. The patriarch of the House of Moses, in particular, was a merchant through and through. ”

"You seem to be very unhappy with these people. Ian smiled, "What does it matter to you whether people are in business or not." ”

"I naturally don't care about them doing business, but they are still doing business in the name of the hunter family. Dennis glanced at Ian, "You're going to be angry, people who only do business hold the power of the halls, do you know what that means? ”

Ian's smile froze.

"The crusade against the Dragon Emperor Mussolini ten years ago was decided by the vote of the four major families. Dennis said slowly, "The Stewart family voted against, our family voted abstaining, and Moses and Felton voted yes. Two-on-one, the Liuyun Squad was officially established, and the most powerful hunters in the imperial capital were gathered at that time. Only the four major families have the ability to bring them together, and you already know the outcome later. ”

Ian didn't have any expression on his face, just his hands clenched into fists.

"The Stuart family voted against it and refused to send people to the Drifting Cloud Team, so they saved all their strength in that disaster. The vitality of the other three major families has been greatly damaged, and their voice has also weakened. Dennis said softly, "That's why I hate merchants, they don't understand anything, but they care about the lives of hunters." ”

Ian was silent. Both he and Dennis were victims of that disaster, losing his parents in Liuyun and Dennis losing his brother in Liuyun.

"I hate merchants, it's an open secret in the imperial capital. Dennis looked at the businessmen present with disdain, "So these guys, trying to please me, don't dare to come forward." In fact, in a way, hunters are better to deal with than merchants. ”

Ian agrees. He hadn't been in contact with many merchants, and the owner of Radwell's carriage shop was one, what was his name? It seemed to be called Richie, and that guy didn't look like a good guy at all.

The two walked to the table. The reception hasn't officially started yet, so the important people haven't appeared yet. Ian and Dennis still have time to talk a little longer, and this time Dennis's attention is on the long knife "guard" on Ian's body.

"You still use knives?" Dennis was a little surprised, "can you show me?"

Ian untied the guardian and handed it to Dennis. Dennis took it and slowly pulled out the blade, the surprise on his face even more intense. He gently touched the blade of the knife with his hand, as if he was touching the hand of an old lover, and closed his eyes from time to time to feel it. After a long time, he put the knife back in its scabbard and returned it to Ian.

"It's a good knife. Dennis said seriously, "It's definitely from a master, can you tell me his name?"

Ian shook his head, "This knife was given to me by someone else, and that person is a navigator. ”

"Navigator, it seems that you have had a very interesting life in the past six months. Dennis smiled, "And you also cut down two of the Felton guards, I always thought you would only use a bow." I didn't expect you to change so much in the past six months, just like Nicole. ”

Nicole?

If Dennis hadn't been the first to mention it, Ian had really forgotten to ask Nicole's whereabouts, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he thought of it, how could he go to Nicole? Could it be that he was so focused on the Messiah that he forgot about her?

"How's Nicole?"

"I thought you had forgotten about her. Dennis's smile faded slowly, "She's in the Hunter Academy." ”

"I know. Dennis's expression made Ian feel a little uneasy, "She told me when she was in Alder. ”

"Do you know what the Hunter Academy is called?"

"What?"

"A forbidden place for women. Dennis said softly, "I don't mean to look down on women, especially after meeting Nico, she is the most hunter-like woman I have ever met." But the Hunter Academy is not a place for women to stay after all, and the high-intensity training makes many men unable to persevere. But she has been persisting for half a year, and she has chosen first-class training. ”

"First-class training?"

"According to the training of the Hunter Academy, it is divided into three classes, and the harshest is the first class. And hunters who have undergone first-class training can be directly promoted to intermediate hunters. ”

"Isn't she already an intermediate hunter, why are you going?" Ian was a little anxious.

"It was her decision, and I couldn't convince her. "She told me the moment she decided that she wanted to be a good hunter and not a bottle." ”

Ian was silent, memories flooding back in his mind. Nicole is the strongest and most courageous woman she has ever met. Most men don't have the courage to slay dragons, and Nicole, as a woman, has done something that ninety percent of men can't do.

But she wasn't satisfied, she wanted to be the top hunter, just so that she wouldn't drag them back.

"I'm going to be a real hunter. The image of Nicole waving her fist is still vivid in Ian's mind, "so that you can only look at my back in the future." ”

Ian was silent for a long time, then whispered, "She's stronger than all of us. ”

Dennis nodded.

Just then, the reception began.
