Chapter 19: Sclint
"Sclint is home to bounty hunters, at least once were. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this is a phrase that the old hunter Van Rick often hangs on his lips. Sclint's mountains, once the first test for young aspiring bounty hunters, are now reluctant to fly.
Master Van Rik always believed that the bounty hunter was a warrior who drank the blood of the devil and fought against the devil, magic and herbs were auxiliary means, superb swordsmanship and strong physique were always the main theme of the hunter's life, and hunting monsters and demons was the way for hunters to survive, and he called himself an orthodox bounty hunter.
Contemporaries of the Master Hunters considered this an outdated view, while the Master of the Assassin School, Bavi, believed that demonic blood was an important reason why it was difficult for the number of hunters to grow in large numbers, and that many good people had died under this deadly potion, and that such dangerous things should be abandoned. Humans are better prey than intractable demons and monsters, and more nobles are willing to pay a lot of money to hire them, and the current situation is that Master Bavi has built his own Assassin fortress on one of Gerry's hills, which is even more prosperous than Sclint in his heyday, which is why Master Van Rick is still reluctant to set foot in Gerry.
Alchemist Master Bloom abandoned the bounty hunter's tradition even more completely, he became a businessman completely, and got into the business of herbs and medicine, and it is ironic that the alchemists were also doing business in places where monsters were frequent, providing rare materials for refining potions, and as an orthodox hunter, I was still very grateful to them, of course, I didn't dare to say such things in front of Master Van Rick.
The radicals don't have masters, they don't have any organization, they either become personal bodyguards, or mercenary groups, and there are despicable bandits, I don't know why they call themselves bounty hunters, I don't think it's really useful other than discrediting our reputation.
Master William of the Magic School is a legend among us, he is the oldest of the existing bounty hunters, even Master Van Rick respects him very much, but no one can understand why he left quietly, did not take an apprentice with him, did not set up his own sect, when people heard his name again, he was already the dean of the Rogan Barkins Academy in the Northern Kingdom, became the king's prime minister, his departure may be his personal sublimation, but it is the loss of Sclint's magic teaching......"

The elf's bow and arrows were on the string, aimed at his vital point, and Fayol was observing the strange elf, she stood in the burning grass without feeling any pain, her clothes were glowing with fire, but they were not burned, and her fire spell could not cause damage to her, proving that she was very closely related to the fire demon Baldan, whether this was a curse or magic, he needed more information, but the elven archer seemed to be reluctant to talk further, and only wanted to kill himself quickly.
In the face of the bow and arrow, Fayol still has a set of ways to deal with it, that is, to strike first, Fayol sent out a left hand of the hidden arrow, the elf was also on guard, sideways his body, and also released an arrow, Fayol's purpose has been achieved, releasing the hidden arrow is to give himself a chance to draw the sword, he rolled forward to dodge the bow and arrow, took out the rune sword, and quickly approached the female elf, the female elf threw away the longbow, drew two daggers, jumped back, and opened the distance, just when Fayol approached the female elf, an arrow was shot from the other side of the forest, and every movement and sword of the bounty hunter would not reveal its flaws, Even though Fayol has surpassed ordinary people in swordsmanship, but many years of combat quality is still maintained, he jumped, turned around in the air, and the arrow hit his shoulder, but the damage was not big, Senjie saw that Fayol fell into a hard battle, and hurriedly jumped down from the tree, but his body was still very weak, and he also knew that he might not be able to help, so he had to hide in the grass and wait for things to develop.
On the other side of the forest jumped a woman dressed as an elf, but a human, raised her bow and arrows and pointed at Fayol, and said to the elves who were about to attack, "Iriel, let me talk to him." ”
"Anyone who steps into his master's realm must be killed and sacrificed, and no one can disobey his master's will. Including you, Tatlissa. The elf said viciously.
The woman turned around and shot an arrow at the ground in front of the elf, "I don't care, I don't want to hurt you." Let me talk to him. The elf let out an angry roar, and the flames on her body burned, and instantly turned into a humanoid flame, and rushed towards Tatrisa, who also turned into a ball of flames, and Senjie and Fayol witnessed the fight between the two zkla at the same time, and Tatrisa had the upper hand and knocked Irel to the well, and the elf had to flee when he saw this.
Tatricia came to Fayol's side and took on a human form.
"Your friend seems upset. Fayol said.
I don't think that's humorous. Let's cut a long story short, there's not much time left. You're here for Hilde. ”
"That's right, his brother asked me to find him. ”
"When he died, I killed him, and he shouldn't have come to me, so he wouldn't have died. ”
"So, if he died at the hands of your companion, then you are not a decoy, but truly love him. ”
"If I didn't love him, would I be here?! I went against the will of my master, and they wouldn't let me go. ”
"I'm sorry, what can I do to help you. ”
"I'll help you take his body to the hut on the edge of the ruins, you go first, and leave forever after you get the body, don't come back. This is the curse of the demon of fire. I can't hurt more people. Let's go!"
Fayol knew nothing about the fire demon's curse and could not help anything, so he left with Senjie.
Back at the hut, Senjie looked at the place where he was reborn, but there was a huge pain in his left hand, and his fingers turned into vampire-like tips and claws, Senjie looked at Fayol with horror on his face, "What's wrong with me?"
"This could be a sequelae of the combined effects of vampire poison and demon blood, and I've never encountered this before. ”
Senjie touched his teeth, "Luckily, there are no vampire teeth. But I don't have your wolf eyes. ”
"That's good news. Having a pair of wolf eyes is not a good thing either, and it seems that demonic blood is not that effective on adults. Fayol looked at Senjie's hand, "We're going back to Sclint and get Van Rik to help, and in some cases we still have to turn to the old hunter for help. ”
"Van Rick?
"He may have some old age nostalgia, but he's still a good teacher. Here she comes. Senjie heard it too, but after Fayol, he knew that his hearing was not as good as Fayol's.
Tatlissa handed Hilde's body to Fayol, and turned to leave, but Fayol stopped her, "You were going to take his body with you yesterday, were you?"
"I don't know how you know, I was going to sneak him away yesterday, but yesterday as soon as I got to the well, I transformed, and I couldn't burn his body, so I had to leave. ”
"Yesterday was a full moon. ”
"That's right. ”
Fayol pondered, "I may have a way to undo the curse, but it's still at the full moon. ”
"Thank you," Tatlisa shook her head, "I might be dying soon." They're already hunting me, and I can't wait, but you can undo the curse of others. ”
"I will. ”
Senjay rushed to Tatrisa, "Run away with us, and come back later to break the curse." The other two shook their heads.
"What's the matter, can't you?" Senjie looked at Fayol.
"I can't leave my master's grasp, I can't leave the ruins. Go away. I can procrastinate them. After saying that, the flames on Tatrisa's body ignited, and Senjie was unwilling, he didn't want to see others die in front of him again because of his own powerlessness. He clenched his fists and looked at Tatlissa. Turned into flames, she left, never to return, and Senjie's hatred for the demon was even greater.
"Why is this happening. ”
