readx;? Ian shook his head and whispered, "Not all hunters can slay dragons, at least I haven't seen dragons. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Mullen's face flashed with an undisguised loss, Jack frowned, and said to Mullen, "Mullen, you go back to sleep first." ā€

Mullen ignored Jack, but looked at Ian with a blank look and continued to ask, "Can you catch the sea monster then?"

"Sea monster?" Ian froze.

"Maren!" Jack's face had completely sunken, "I said, you should go back to sleep." ā€

Catherine hurried out of the room, and after saying sorry to Ian, she picked up Maren and went into the room. Mullen was unwilling to be silent, and while struggling in his mother's arms, he shouted: "He is a hunter, mother, he is a hunter, he will definitely be able to defeat the sea monster and rescue Brother Kevin."

"Nonsense. Jack muttered, then got up and closed the door of his room. However, the sound insulation of the wooden door was not good, and Ian could still hear Mullen's crying, and gradually drifted away, and finally fell completely silent.

Jack leaned against the fireplace, tired.

Ian was still at a loss, and he cautiously asked, "What is the sea monster in Mullen's mouth, and is something wrong?"

Jack was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "There are no sea monsters, Mullen is referring to the sea breeze." ā€

"Sea breeze?"

"Well, I guess you can feel it too, it's very windy outside. Jack took a cigarette from his bosom, and just as he was about to light it, he remembered that there was another guest, so he took it back, "Mullen said Kevin, the neighbor's child, who had just completed the wedding ceremony a year ago. This winter he went out to sea to fish and never came back. ā€

"Yes, wind?"

"Eighty percent of the word, yes, it's been too windy this year. "In fact, the fishermen of this city go out to sea all year round. Because this is the only way to make a living, but this winter, many fishermen who have gone out to sea have never returned, and people have spread rumors that the sea monster is coming. ā€

"What the hell is a sea monster?" asked Ian.

"Who knows, but no one would rather believe that it was the sea breeze than that it was a sea monster, sorry, can I smoke?"

Ian nodded.

Jack took out his cigarette gun, and he should be an old smoker. He skillfully lit the cigarette holder with the fire in the fireplace, and then took a long puff, his face looming in the white mist like a curtain.

"After all, the sea breeze will leave sooner or later, but who knows if the sea monster will leave?" Jack took another big gulp, "This kind of thing is only known to the heavens, what can we do?"

Ian was silent for a long time before slowly nodding, "That's right, there's nothing we can do about it. ā€

The two sat down for a while, and then Jack got up and said to Ian, "The fish should be cooked, I'll bring it to you." Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't mean you're not welcome, it's just that there's really nothing fun about this Shaibe, and if you're here to travel, you can go to the port of Sofia, it's a big port, everything. It's not far from Shaibe, and I can show you the way. ā€

Ian nodded, "Thanks, I'll be there tomorrow, I'm really bothered tonight." ā€

As if relieved, Jack smiled at Ian and said, "Okay, I'll go serve you soup now." ā€

After drinking the fish soup, Jack found a room for Ian. The room was dark and smelled bad. Jack said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I haven't cleaned up for too long, I'll clean up now." ā€

"No, it's already good here. Ian replied, "It's so late, I really don't bother, as long as I have a place to sleep." In the past, when I was hunting, I stayed in a much worse place than I do now. ā€

"I almost forgot that you were a hunter. Jack laughed, "Is it fun to be a hunter?"

Ian thought for a moment and shook his head: "It's not fun, it's just a means of making a living." ā€

"It's like going out to sea to catch fish?"

"It's like going out to sea to catch fish. ā€

"But fishing isn't just my profession. Jack patted Ian on the shoulder, "That's my interest, the endless sea is the goal that men want to conquer, of course, on the premise that there are no sea monsters and sea breezes." Wishing you a nice rest tonight. ā€

Jack smiled and left, Ian could see that the man was not happy, but he seemed to be telling the truth. Ian didn't quite understand, he hadn't seen the sea yet, and he didn't know what his sentence "the endless sea is the goal of a man to conquer" meant, he thought silently for a while, and found that he couldn't understand it at all, so he gave up the entanglement and walked into the house with his own salute.

His salute was just a backpack and a box. The backpack contained a change of clothes and some food, while the box contained the Musk Moon Goddess. Ian moved the box to the window, and although it was windy tonight, there was still a moon, and the moonlight was lazily spilling in. By the moonlight, Ian saw a white spider web at the opening and closing of the chest.

He was stunned, then reached out to wipe the cobwebs away, and when he withdrew his hand, he found that his fingers were covered with white ash. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had opened the box, and the Goddess Musk Moon had been sealed by Ian after she had completed her mission to shoot the dragon king Naga.

Ian hesitated, then opened the box. Under the light of the moon, the dark golden musk moon goddess looked very quiet, like a sleeping beauty. Ian's fingertips brushed over the beauty's body, cold, almost cold.

The bow and arrow hunted down the dragon king Naga, but it also nearly destroyed Ian's right shoulder. The right arm, which has suffered a severe muscle strain, is now difficult to exert force. In addition to this, there is Ian's legs, it took Ian a while to be able to walk like a normal person, and he could not walk an inch without crutches at first.

"He's a hunter, Mom, he's a hunter, he'll definitely be able to defeat the sea monster and rescue Kevin's brother"

Maren's words echoed in Ian's ears again. Ian was quiet for a long time, and finally re-covered the metal box and lay down on the narrow bed, pulling the dirty, smelly futon over his body. He stared blankly at the rooftop, but he couldn't see anything in the dark, because his eyesight had regressed to the level of ordinary people.

The power of the Iliad was exhausted by him.

"I'm not a hunter anymore. Ian muttered, slowly closing his eyes.

Outside, the sea breeze was still there, and it made a whimpering sound in the sky above Shaibe, as if a giant was crying.
