Chapter 9: Helpless Choices

The so-called hunting competition is nothing more than dividing all the hunters above the junior level in the town into several parts, and then entering the Aoki Forest in batches for a week's wild hunting.

Due to his strength and identity, Luo Fan did not really participate in this competition, and his task was very simple, just to lead the guards of Aoki Town into the forest in advance to drive the demonic beasts that were mortal threats to the beginner hunters to the inner perimeter.

It's such a job, but it also took 4 hours for the Aoki Town Guards, but for the safety of the hunters belonging to Aoki Town, even if it takes energy, Luo Fan will not hesitate to do it.

Because it's not just about the fragile loss of life, it's about a vow.

Yes, a vow......

An indelible vow......

"Brother Luo, you will protect us, right?"

"Well, of course, with me, you'll be fine. ”

"Then please Brother Luo. ”

"Please......"

"Brother Luo...... Please......"

"Thank you, Brother Luo......"

"The village will be handed over to you, Luo Fan ......"

…………

Memories are like a torrent that opens the floodgates, out of control, and in an instant, countless memory fragments buried Luo Fan in his senses, and his distracted eyes are like walking corpses.

"Uncle Loran ......"

A faint, childish voice suddenly sounded...... It turned out to be Qin Chen's shouting on the side. Although this shout is subtle, it contains a faint mental fluctuation, that is, this faint mental fluctuation pulls Luo Fan, who is intoxicated with memories, back to reality......

"Uncle, aren't you going to the mayor's house? Why are you looking at this sapling in a daze?"

Qin Chen crossed his hands behind his back and muttered to Luo Fan, who was looking at the newly planted saplings after the fire, with a shy expression.

Luo Fan looked at the new sapling in front of him, suddenly a little embarrassed, and danced his hands at a loss, and after a while, he put on a good attitude, picked up Qin Chen, and rushed to the mayor's house.

……

Aoki Town, the mayor's house.

"Qin Chen, are you planning to be a hunter or something?" After completing all the systematic registrations, the mayor sat down next to Qin Chen, and asked seemingly nonchalantly.

Although it is careless, those who have a heart can hear the meaning contained in it. For example, Lofan.

Clam up...... Luo Fan knew that this choice was very important...... It's important...... Very, important......

"Hmm, does the hunter have any other choice?" Hearing Mayor Mumu's words, Qin Chen couldn't help but be confused, could it be that the hunter still has a branch?

"That's the case, Luo Fan, didn't you tell Chen'er?"

"Well, I haven't had time to say it yet. ”

"That's right...... All right. Chen'er, listen carefully......"

……

Hunter, in the final analysis, is a profession derived from hunting prey, so the difference in prey has become a branch point.

Prey is divided only into humans, and non-humans.

Assassins who hunt humans, and hunters who hunt non-humans.

However, among the hunters, there are also some outliers, of course, not only the hunter profession, but also the five major professions that are listed alongside it, and there are also outliers. These aliens are called cultists by the common people of this world. It's like, the killer of hunters, the disintegrator of mechanics, the poisoner of doctors, the fallen angel of warriors, and the summoner of alchemists.

Causes that lead to the branches of all professions. In fact, there is only one, and that is the pursuit.

Some, it's the pursuit of power......

Some, it's the pursuit of goals......

Some are pursuing the people around them......

Some......

Everything is because of the pursuit.

Pursuit?

Qin Chen couldn't help but think of the blue planet...... In that faraway place......

"So Chen'er, which branch are you going to choose?"

Luo Fan's voice suddenly sounded softly in Qin Chen's ears, pulling Qin Chen, who was intoxicated with fantasy, back to reality......

"Ah, that, I'm going to, huh...... I'll talk about this later, I don't know anything anyway......"

"Ahh As long as you don't become an assassin, it doesn't matter if you don't do anything for the rest of your life. "Isn't it an assassin?Why would Luo Fan say that? Just thinking about it for a while, Qin Chen gave up thinking and continued to think, still listening to the conversation between Luo Fan and Mu Mu in silence.

"Qin Chen, don't worry about it, I haven't decided to learn some skills in the future, so it's okay to wander around. ”

Mayor Mumu said with a smile, twisting the corner of the table in front of him from time to time, either nervous or worried, in short, it all meant the same.

"Well, Mayor Town, please. ”

………… Luo Qinchen is officially registered among the registered personnel of the Tianfeng Empire, and it is also at this time that Qin Chen's actions will be recorded by government agencies, although there will be no details, but major and important things still have to be recorded. Afterwards, Luo Fan and Mu Mu had to leave Qin Chen temporarily because of the competition, and Qin Chen also obediently said that he wanted to wander around the town.

Or, the uncle is a man with a great story!

Qin Chen thought like this, and inadvertently, he crossed half of the town and came to the other side of Aoki Town, far away from the side of the Aoki Forest, the most commercially developed side of Aoki Town.

The commercial district of Aoki Town is the only commercial area that communicates between the main city of Loro and Aoki Town, and it is necessary to pass through this business district to travel between Aoki Town and the main city of Loro. However, it is in this interconnected business district that there are various forces and chambers of commerce. Among them, the most powerful chambers of commerce and forces are the Golden Feather Chamber of Commerce that covers the entire Tianfeng Continent, and the Wolf Howling Gang that dominates the outskirts of Aoki Town.

…………

"Yo, isn't this Lixuan, hehe, it seems that we didn't beat you enough last time. ”

"I think so...... Hey. ”

"Why don't we do it again?" Big brother, what do you think?"

"Don't talk nonsense, move the event. ”

The man who was called "Big Brother" waved his hand and said such a sentence freely.

"Everyone, I ...... I have not sinned against you...... Ahh

Before Mo Lixuan finished speaking, he was punched hard by one of them.

In the middle of the dantian.

The pain spreads to the cerebral cortex in an instant. Mo Lixuan couldn't help shouting.

"You all stop for the old lady!"

The childish voice and the words that did not go with it suddenly sounded......

There was a hint of hidden anger in the voice, and it was only this anger that caused the fluctuation of the sealed book-like boulder in the soul. A trace of lilac air waves tightly surrounded Qin Chen's surroundings, and the waves of air swept Qin Chen's scattered green silk like the wind.

For a while, Qin Chen's image like the snake-haired witch Medusa appeared in front of everyone.

Qin Chen clenched his fists, and the blood-breaking longbow that had lost its trace when he was unconscious before appeared in front of him instantly, like a habit, a habit after countless repetitions, only to see Qin Chen's left hand grab forward, and the dark red longbow flew towards Qin Chen's palm like an eye.

Qin Chen's right hand twisted the dark red bowstring, and with a fierce force, the dark red longbow was pulled to the full moon, and when the full moon bow was formed, a wisp of lilac filament quickly drilled out of the three fingers that twisted the bowstring, and after a while, this lilac thread actually condensed into a nonexistent arrow. Qin Chen clenched the bowstring tightly, clasped the arrows on the string, his fingers trembled, and countless phantoms appeared, only to see the ethereal arrow feathers tightly wrapped around several circles of dark red thin threads. When the trembling stopped, Qin Chen's right hand was full of bright red.

The longbow was raised slowly, the arrow pointed forward, and the three fingers that had been twisted on the bowstring were loosened at a frighteningly slow pace......

"Boom~"

The taut bowstring made a crisp sound, like a taut string, and it broke......
