"Haha, I've finally become a certified hunter in the hall. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Ni cutely played with the wooden card she had just gotten in her hand, smirking along the way.

If she had stayed on for the usual days, Ian would have stayed away from her, lest everyone mistakenly think that she knew this madwoman. But now he didn't have this mind, his mind was full of what he had just done in the hall branch. The moment Xiu touched his wooden card, an unparalleled anger suddenly surged in his heart, not angry, but angry, so angry that he wanted to tear the woman in front of him to pieces.

Although the urge lasted only for a short moment, the feeling that had never been felt before made Ian feel irritated for a while. Over the years, he has also been angry and angry many times, but this time, he feels less like a person, but like a beast.

Ian thought of the dragon flame mark on his right arm.

"Dragon's blood is like poison to humans, let alone the blood of the Dragon Emperor. You are the first person ever to have the blood of the Dragon Emperor fused with you, and no one knows what will happen to you in the future. ”

Ian remembered Rudo's words again.

"Hey, hey, don't be stunned. Nicole reached out and shook it in front of Ian's eyes, interrupting Ian's musings. Ian looked around and saw that he had unconsciously walked back to where he had eaten.

"You wait here for me, and I'll pay. With that, Nicole took the money bag from Ian's hand and ran into the restaurant. Ian was bored and paced in front of the restaurant, when he suddenly noticed a sign standing next to the restaurant, and he walked in to see that it was a map of the Alki Empire.

The map is painted and marks the locations of several famous towns. Of course, Radville is also marked, with Radville in the northwest of the empire and the imperial capital in the middle of the empire to the east. The alchemical city of Alder is in the southwest of the empire, where it is most rich in mineral resources. The empire resembles an irregular square, with the ocean at the easternmost end and the snow-capped mountains at the northernmost end. The westernmost part is the legendary forest of Yarman, while the southernmost part is said to be a vast volcanic complex, a forbidden place for humans.

Purely from the perspective of the imperial capital, the Alki Empire is vast. From another point of view, the Alki Empire is like a surrounded island, a place that has not yet been classified as an empire, and there are forces that humans cannot fight.

Ian still has all the memories of ten years ago, when his father had a map from a hundred years ago. A hundred years ago, the Alki Empire was obviously much larger than the current empire, and at that time, a large part of the Forest of Legends was a known region, and now, the entire Forest of Yarman belongs to the Legendary Region.

The living space of human beings is being eroded little by little.

Ian raised his hand, his fingertips gently skimming between the Imperial Capital and the Alchemical City of Alder, and finally stopped at a location. It was a small town, too small to mark on a map, but Ian knew that it was the city of Blackstone where he had lived for ten years.

"Alright, it's done. Nicole jumped out, still in a happy mood, like a little girl who hadn't grown up yet.

She walked over to Ian, looked at the map, and suddenly remembered something: "yes, we haven't decided yet, where is the next stop." ”

Listening to Nicole's words, Ian suddenly felt a little funny. I remember that day after he asked Nicole to carry the maned boar back, Nicole said that as long as she left Lutheran Mill, she would part ways with Ian. At the time, she was eager to eat Ian, but now that she is thinking about their next stop, it has to be said that it is quite dramatic.

Of course, it was dramatic enough that they were able to make it out of the Lutheran Mills alive.

"These cities are also marked on it. Nicole said, "Actually, I think we can go to the imperial capital to have a look, it's the hall headquarters." ”

Ian's heart moved, and to be honest, Nicole's offer was quite tempting. It's not that he's curious about the Great Hall Headquarters, but when Nicole mentions the Imperial Capital, he immediately thinks of the Messiah.

Thinking of the girl who had to keep her eyes open when kissing, Ian felt an itch in her heart.

However, he still calmed down and shook his head: "No, we can't go to the imperial capital. ”

"Huh? Why?"

"That's right, we're now officially certified hunters in the hall, which is great. In small towns like Mintong and Radwell, we've been successful. Ian said slowly, "But what if it's in the imperial capital? it's the headquarters of the Great Hall, where the strongest hunters of the entire empire gather, and if we go there, we probably won't even be able to receive the mission." ”

What Ian said was exactly what he had in mind when he rejected the Messiah. Not every man has the courage to reject the Messiah, and Ian is no exception, especially since his relationship with the Messiah is somewhat delicate. But he knew that once he went to the imperial capital, it would be difficult to have room to grow, and the high-level hunters gathered there were enough to inadvertently crush any novice to death.

Even if there is a Messiah to protect him, I'm afraid it won't be of much use. So in order to fulfill Rudo's last wish, but also for his own sake, he decided to leave the Messiah and go to Mintong City alone.

"You have a point. Nicole nodded as if she didn't understand, "Then we'll stay here all the time, go to the mission here, and then go to the imperial capital when we get to the intermediate hunters?"

It stands to reason that Ian and the others have completed the dragon hunt and should have the qualifications to become intermediate hunters. However, the tragedy is that they did not complete a dragon slaying mission, but a exploration mission, and the danger level of the dragon slaying mission is at least four stars or more, and the exploration mission is ...... Knowing that they had completed a one-star mission, Ian couldn't wait to find the client and beat him up.

"That's the way to go. Ian said it was an idea, but shook his head, "It's just too slow." Near Radville is a Lutheran forest, but we can't expect another dragon in this place that has been quiet for an unknown number of years. But if we can't complete the mission above the four-star level, we won't be able to advance at all, so we still have to go. ”

"Where are you going?"

"Here. Ian held out his finger and pointed to a city on the map. Nicole looked at his finger and looked a little surprised: "Alchemy City, Alder?"

"Since you want to slay dragons and alchemy weapons, you must have some. Ian said softly. In fact there is only one reason, in fact he has another reason.

Alder, the city of alchemy, is the only place where it is possible to turn the blueprints left behind by his father into reality.

The yellowed drawing still lay quietly on Ian's chest, without a hint of warmth. The bow and arrow that has no upper limit of strength in Ian's father's life's work - the Goddess of the Musk Moon. She was like a real sleeping beauty, sleeping quietly in the drawings.

For ten years, Ian had watched her countless times. But he didn't have the ability or the courage to try to wake her up, but now it was different, after Ian had eliminated the sharp-tailed black feather dragon, he felt that the bow and arrow were so close to him. It's as if you can reach out and touch it.

"Alright, our next stop, Alder, the city of alchemy!" Nicole clapped her hands, she also longed for this legendary city. So she took Ian's hand and dragged it out, "Let's go, let's go, the two of us have to check the injury, and we'll go straight to the road after the checkup." ”

Ian had been badly injured before, and almost his entire shoulder had been bitten through by the dragon's teeth. Nicole thought that his right arm would be scrapped in the future, but she didn't expect Ian to recover by force. I don't know that Iliad's Nicole is still a little uneasy after all, and she must ask Ian to go to a specialized doctor for examination.

Ian is dragged away by Nicole. Before leaving, he glanced at the map again, and in a very inconspicuous corner of the eastern part of the map, there was no sign or symbol of the city. But Ian knew that there was a flowing cloud, and ten years ago, his fate had been completely changed there.

......

"Come, be obedient, open your mouth, and shout to me, ah——。 The bald doctor pinched Ian's mouth open and glared into Ian's mouth.

Ian followed with a shout of "Ahhh

"Come, press your tongue down. "The bald doctor is seductive.

Ian did so, but for some reason, he felt as if he was acting a little stupid. But the doctor was not very satisfied, and continued: "Push down a little more, press down a little more." ”

So Ian pressed his tongue down.

"Hey, why are you so stupid. The bald doctor sighed, then took out a small wooden strip and helped Ian press his tongue down.

Ian almost wanted to scold his mother, you have something you don't use earlier?

Nicole looked behind Ian, looking strange, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh. She felt that Ian was like a circus animal, the doctor was the trainer, and the wooden stick in his hand was the whip, and he was smoking Ian to perform.

"Well, well, your teeth aren't very well maintained. The bald doctor said solemnly, "Look at it, it's not white, it's yellow, black and dirty." Definitely don't like brushing your teeth. ”

Ian grinned, but didn't speak.

"If you want your teeth to whiten, I recommend using salt water—"

"That, doctor. Nicole forced a smile, "Well, we're not here to see the teeth." He doesn't have any other questions, huh?"

"Didn't you come to see the teeth? Oh, I remembered. Other questions? hey—" The doctor sighed heavily. Seeing Ian's heart, he panicked, thinking that it couldn't be that I had some incurable disease.

Who knew that the bald doctor came slowly: "People are old, and their eyes are not very good." I can't see the inside of my mouth clearly. ”

As he spoke, he also hammered his chest, as if he hated the years and did not forgive people.

Nicole finally couldn't help it and burst out laughing.

Ian felt his face twitch, "Are you a dentist?"

"Dentist, no. ”

"And what teeth are you looking at for me?" Ian gritted his teeth, trying to calm himself, "I'm here to see the injuries." ”

"Oooh oh. As if he had suddenly thought about it, the doctor patted his hairless head abruptly, and looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm used to it." You'd better undress first, I'll see it now, I'll see it now. ”

Ian felt a little better, and was about to undress when he suddenly remembered something and glared back at Nicole. Nicole glared back, with a rare expression, but she still walked out honestly.

Ian began to undress, and as he took it off, he casually asked, "Doctor, did you just say you were used to it?"

"No, no, no, how can I be a dentist, it's just an insult to me. The doctor paused and said, "I used to be a veterinarian, and every time I checked the animals, I had to look at their teeth. ”

Ian's undressing froze.

The bald doctor was still frowning, as if he were talking about his romance: "You know what? When I was young, I was very skilled, and I just had to look at the teeth of the cows, sheep, and pigs, and I could understand what was wrong with them. ”

Ian began to put his clothes back on, and he thought the doctor was a psychopath. He didn't want to be naked in front of a nervous disorder. And this neurotic didn't notice Ian's strangeness at all, and was still chattering, and his eyebrows were quite nostalgic for the days when he was a veterinarian: "You know what? Animals are much easier to contact than humans. If you look at them as weak and sick, that is, they are really sick and uncomfortable. Looking at people, some people come in as if they are about to die, in fact, they are just stumbling, looking for a reason to come to me to steal some leisure, this kind of person is very common, almost a day can see one. And some people are happy every day, but in fact, he is terminally ill. ”

Ian stopped getting dressed again.

"Do you think that's the truth? Hey, why don't you take it off?"

"Oh? no, I'll take it off. Ian hesitated, then quickly stripped naked.

The bald doctor saw the scar on Ian's body, and his expression changed slightly. Then he walked over to Ian, looked at it, and stroked the wounds with his hand. Ian felt a little uncomfortable, an old man who kept staring at your naked body and still moved his hands would naturally be uncomfortable.

"You're a hunter, aren't you?" asked the bald doctor softly.

Ian nodded. The bald doctor stopped talking, and was quiet as if he had changed as if he had changed his mind, and he walked around Ian again and again, and finally returned to his back: "Which tattoo master tattooed the little tree on your body? ”

"Oh, it's a guy named Eli Yat, but he's not famous. Ian spouted.

"Oh, why do you just tattoo a little tree?" the bald doctor gestured with his hand on Ian's back, much to Ian's surprise. You know, before entering the Luther Jungle, there was still a sapling behind him, and it wasn't that long.

The World Tree is growing behind him.

"That, I originally wanted to tattoo a big tree, but I didn't have the money. Ian was talking nonsense again.

The bald doctor smiled and didn't ask more. Then let Ian put on his clothes: "It's just some scars, it's not a big problem, you're in good health." ”

Ian nodded, he was well aware of his physical condition. The perverted recovery ability, it seems that no matter how serious the injury is, he can recover, and he has become a veritable Xiaoqiang who can't be killed.

"Since it's okay, I won't take any money. The bald doctor reversed the normal norm and said with a smile, "Don't worry." Oh yes, if you have the money, you'd better find the tattoo artist named Eli Yat and ask him to help you change it into a towering tree, it will look a lot better. ”
