It was another good day, and the warm sun shone on the land of Alder, the city of alchemy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"He probably won't be a hunter anymore. ”

However, the words of the priest in the white robe were like a bolt from the blue for Nicole.

"I can't imagine what this young man went through inside the volcano, but the reality is that the muscle in his right shoulder has been completely torn. So much so that he didn't need the strength of his right hand at all, and his legs, oh my God, the wound was so deep, to be honest, he could still walk on the ground now, it was already a favor from God. The priest, who was sitting on the wicker chair, gently closed the parchment and said with an apologetic expression, "Maybe in the future he will be able to meet someone who is more skilled in medicine, the kind of person who may be able to cure him, but I really can't do anything about it." ”

Nicole bit her lip tightly, her eyes full of fog. But there was nothing she could do, the old man in front of her was the best person in Alder's medical skills, and according to legend, he was on par with the great priest in the imperial capital, and his words were like giving Ian an ultimatum.

Unable to be a hunter anymore, it was after Ian killed the dragon king Naga with his own hands.

"Thank you, Father. Nicole bent down at the priest, "Then I'll go first." ”

"Go back and persuade your friends. The priest got up to see him off, but in his capacity, there was no need to treat such a girl with such etiquette. However, the girl in front of her is the one who has completed the task of "killing the king", and she is already the hero of the whole city.

"As a hunter, his accomplishments are unparalleled, aren't they?" said the priest softly, "I think the hall will treat the first hunter in history to complete the hunt of the dragon king. ”

Nicole smiled reluctantly, but didn't say anything more, but thanked her again and exited the room. Outside the room, Dennis was leaning against the wall when he heard the sound of the door opening and closing before he looked up.

Dennis was also scarred, with a white cloth wrapped around his arms and crutches. He limped over to Nicole and asked, "What did the priest say?"

Nicole shook her head slowly and whispered, "The priest said he couldn't be a hunter anymore. ”

Nicole looked up, and a white dove was skimming over her head, flapping its wings and flying off into the distance. Nicole watched the white dove slowly disappear into the sky and muttered, "I can't hunt anymore." ”

......

"What about the others?"

"Who are you referring to?" asked the dwarf Barton in a muffled voice, "your friends or the entire Kingkiller Squad?"

"All of them. Ian replied.

"If it were all of them, there were thirty-one people in the king-killing team, and only five people came back in total. The other two are your friends, and two more, not to mention, who escaped at the last minute and survived. The dwarf Barton looked up at the young man in front of him, until now, he still couldn't imagine that the last person to hunt the dragon king would be him.

"Your friend's words, that little girl was affected by the source of the dragon slayer, but she has been cleared by those guys. The guys in Barton Hammer's mouth are referring to the human alchemists, "And that little boy of the Granger family, it's not a big deal, just recover for a while." ”

Ian groaned, his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Why don't you care about your body? You're the most injured of them all. ”

"I know my body very well. ”

"Huh?"

"I used to feel a lot of power in my body, but now it's gone. Ian replied.

It's been more than a week since I got back from the Tellmis Mountains. During this period, Ian has never felt the existence of the power of the Iliad, and the power of Ian's body has been repaired many times, but now it seems that it has left him.

Barton was silent, but didn't pursue any further questions.

"Mr. Barton. Ian spoke suddenly.

"Huh?"

"Do me a favor. ”

"Say it. ”

"Is that shield I brought back still there?" Ian whispered, "If you can, send someone to help me bring that shield to a place called Tashi Village, and say that it is a relic of the strongest hunter." ”

......

"It's all my fault. Dennis said with reproach, "If I had been awake at the time, I might have been able to help Ian." ”

"No one can help him. Nicole stroked her bangs that were about to cover her eyes, "I think he'll understand, after all, he's a lot luckier than Eric." ”

At the mention of Eric, Dennis's face darkened a little. Because he fell into a coma early, he couldn't witness the person who was supposed to die, and stood up at the last moment to save Ian's life, and it was precisely because he stood up at the last moment that Ian was able to shoot the arrow that turned the tide and completed the task of killing the king.

He should be as great a hero as Ian in this mission. However, he died tragically in the volcano, and there was no way to bring out his body. In fact, there was no way to bring out the bodies of the other twenty-six people of the Kingkiller Squad, because the next moment Ian and Nicole walked out of Tellmis with Dennis, several volcanoes in the interior of the Tellmis Mountains erupted one after another. The molten flames transformed the entire Tellmis Mountains, and by the time the hall was sent in a week later, nothing could be found.

Except for a piece of charred metal, which Ian says is Eric's Erin's shield.

"What are you going to do next?" Dennis asked.

"What's next?" Nicole was stunned, she hadn't thought about what was going to happen next.

"Yes, do you want to stay in Alder, or where are you going?" said Dennis, "I guess the city lord would be eager to keep you two king-killing hunters behind." ”

Nicole fell silent and didn't speak for a long time, just walked quietly forward. Dennis saw that Nicole was thinking, and didn't bother, just walked beside her, and the crutches tapped the ground rhythmically, making a "pop" sound.

After a long time, Nicole made a decision: "I want to go to the imperial capital." ”

"Imperial Capital?"

"Well, I'm going to sign up for the Hunter Academy. ”

"Hunter Academy?why, you are the one who has completed the mission of killing the king now, and you may be promoted to a high-level hunter after this mission. Dennis asked, puzzled.

"I'm well aware of my quality. Nicole said softly, "And I really don't want to, continue to drag my feet." ”

"What about Ian?"

"He'll probably go with me. Nicole said softly, "After all, the person he loves the most is in the imperial capital." ”
