Chapter 2: The Assignment

"Got it, you wait, I'll come and open the door right away. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Watson dusted off the cookie crumbs on his body and responded, the black paw holding the book quickly closed the book at the same time as the sound sounded outside the door, put it back on the table in front of Watson, and then dissipated into the air, although Maury was his teacher, but this ability to control dark energy Watson still didn't intend to confide in him, but whether he knew it for a long time was another matter.

It's not that I'm afraid of being misunderstood about the source of this ability, because the more powerful demon hunters have strange abilities is almost the consensus of everyone on the continent, and every famous demon hunter has his own strange talent in some aspects, to be honest, ordinary people can't become professionals in this high-risk profession at all, even if they barely become a demon hunter, they will be defeated by this or that monster in the near future, and the ending is naturally needless to say.

And Watson is because he thinks that his current strength is still too weak, this ability is like the last hole card for him, if there is no need, the fewer people who naturally know, the better, so when he has exercised his ability in the past two years, Watson has consciously chosen to be alone and try to avoid being known by others about his ability.

Watson always had a sense of being a master and a father to his teacher who had taken care of him for two years, and Maury had helped him when he was at his most difficult, feeding and cloning him and nurturing him as his own heir, teaching him the skills and experience of demon hunters, in fact Maury himself looked like a good old man, wearing a simple brown trench coat at all times, somewhat mottled but fairly neatly groomed hair, and a mature and even a little old face with a very warm smile, who would definitely regard him as a kind and trustworthy person to those who just knew him。

Watson thought so at first, but after living with Murray for two years and getting a clear picture of the other party's temperament, he found that his impression of him was incomplete in some places, for example, Murray portrayed his own image so well, not because he was like this, but to make himself more deceptive, according to his words, this kind of image of him is invincible in the love field, those young girls can't help but smile with a sense of vicissitudes......

"You don't do strange things in the house, do you? so slowly, I can tell you, although I understand that young people like you do need it in that regard, but I still don't want to smell anything strange in my own house when I enter the door......

Standing outside the door, Morley raised his eyebrows and patted Watson on the shoulder very obscenely, making a look that I understand you very well, but his eyes crossed his shoulders and kept looking into the room, like a father who desperately wanted to seize his son who had entered the rebellious period so that he could be more well-behaved.

"Oh, that's it......"

The corners of Watson's mouth twitched, and he silently finished saying a sentence and turned to the kitchen, and Maury watched his students walk into the kitchen with some puzzlement, in his opinion, Watson should have laughed back at this time instead of being as unresponsive as he is now.

However, it didn't take long for Watson to come out of the kitchen with a dinner plate, holding the plate in his right hand and a silver fork in his left hand, and kept wrapping the plate in the plate after spending a lot of time, and the finished beef dumplings were inserted into his mouth without hesitation, and he smacked his lips very deliberately during the period.

"What is this...... Bastard, this is my dinner!!What are you eating of it?"

Maury didn't react for a while, and it wasn't until Watson had already put the fifth dumpling in his mouth that he realized that what he had in his hand should have been his dinner today, and he couldn't help but scream and snatch the plate from Watson's hand into his arms.

As a time-traveler, although Watson knows the truth of following the local customs, it is still a little difficult to adapt to the food, those medium-rare and medium-rare steaks are really unacceptable to him, so after searching and investigating, he still made some food from his previous life, similar to dumplings and pasta with various fillings.

Originally, Watson was eating alone, but one day, after Maury inadvertently ate a dumpling made by Watson, he suddenly said that he would be responsible for the food in the future, which was just a matter of taking more time for Watson, so he didn't refuse, after all, Maury raised him for two years and didn't ask him to pay anything.

"Daddy, have you found my assignment? You've been talking to me for so long, you have to have some results. ”

Watson looked at Maury who was swallowing his book aside, scratched his head, went into the kitchen again, took a plate of vinegar and put it next to Maury, and said.

Originally, Watson's title for Morrie was teacher, but he didn't know when it became this title, and both parties didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and they didn't bother with this title, just like they didn't know when Murray started calling Watson Stinky Boy instead of his full name, as if this way of calling him was the most appropriate.

"Ha, blame me for not finding a mission that suits you? It's not that you're too weak, don't think I don't know your little ability, what's the use of hiding it from me? I'm a demon hunter, and I'm much more familiar with the dark aura than you. You have to know that there are some tasks that you can't do as a newbie, and if you make a mistake, your life will be gone, and who will cook and do the laundry for me?"

As he spoke, Maury picked up a fork, forked a dumpling, put it in the vinegar next to it, dipped it, and then put it in his mouth and kept chewing.

"It turns out that Dad, you already knew that I had this ability, and you never asked me where this ability came from. ”

Watson was a little surprised, although he had long thought that Daddy might have known his ability, but he was still a little surprised why Daddy had never asked him about the source of this ability.

"What are you doing? Man, you have to have your own secrets, or you're too much of a failure, and ah...... Don't say in the future, I didn't remind you, although I don't know the role of your ability, but you'd better not show it in front of outsiders, if you want to win in the struggle, you still have to have a few cards in your hand, otherwise you will be embarrassed if you are yin and have no means of countermeasures. ”

Maury was a little slurred in his words because he was eating something in his mouth, but that didn't stop Watson from feeling that he cared about him from his words.

"So did you find the task? I stayed at home and read every day, but I held it for a long time, and my bones were about to rust, didn't you say that you can only recognize yourself in actual combat? I also want to try how far I can go. ”

Watson reached for the book on the table and shook it in front of his father, indicating that he was about to turn it over.

"Ah, you stinky boy still have a lot to learn, those monsters are so attractive to you? You don't have a lot of ability, but you have a big heart! If you get crippled by some monster and smell its bad breath one day, you will know that you will regret it. ”

Maury reprimanded Watson, but his left hand, which had been holding the wine glass he had handed him, reached to his waist, took out a scroll that had been rolled up, and threw it on the table.

"It's not that I want to go out and meet those monsters so early, I can't see them...... I don't have the days left to live, and I can't afford to waste it. ”

Watson thought helplessly, and reached out to get the scroll, but when he first touched the scroll, he was held down by Maury.

"Stinky boy, let me see your ability first, and then I will consider whether to give you this task, I have to make sure that you have the ability to withstand the consequences of the possible failure of this mission before you can complete this task alone, I don't want to come and collect your body when the time comes!"

Maury ate the last dumpling and burped, took another sip of water, and stared at Watson with his eyes fixed on him and said solemnly.

Watson nodded as he should, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cloud of black energy about half a meter in diameter suddenly appeared in front of him, and constantly transformed into different weapon forms, and then Watson stretched out his right hand, and the dark energy quickly attached to his bare right arm, and within a few seconds, his right arm was like turning into a monster's claws, and suddenly clenched his fist, and even the air was oppressed, and a dull sound sounded.

"It's the maximum amount of energy I can control right now, and there's a lot of ways to use it...... It can be fired as an energy ball, it can be used to protect myself, and it has a lot of miscellaneous functions. ”

Watson waved his hand, and the dark energy ball immediately dissipated into the air.

"How long can it last? Do you have the confidence to interrupt the tree outside the house in the situation just now?"

Maury gestured to the 40-centimeter-thick tree outside Watson's window, his left index finger tapping on the tabletop, which Watson knew was his action when he was thinking about something.

"Depending on the limits of what I'm using, if it's as powerful as it was just now...... 10 minutes or so, after this time its amount will slowly decrease, as for the tree, I don't think it's much of a problem, just one punch can only make me consume a part of the dark energy, the above is probably the result of my two years of familiarity with this ability and the results of excavation. ”

Watson first turned his head to look at the trees outside, then frowned, thought about it, and then said affirmatively.

"Hmm...... It's yours, remember!, whether the mission is successful or not...... You have to make sure you come back alive. ”

Maury pinched his chin, pursed his mouth, and finally picked up the scroll on the table and threw it into Watson's arms.

"Of course, Daddy, I still want to seduce a few more beautiful young ladies as much as you do!"

Watson deliberately teased Murray and said with a smile.

"Stinky boy, how old are you? Also, that's not called seduction! How can you say that you want to be a seduction? By the way, your hair is too long, go cut it tomorrow! This is the fee, don't spend it indiscriminately, it's very difficult for me to make money! Now, get out and go to bed!"

Maury slapped Watson's head and ruffled his somewhat long hair by the way, then took out a cloth bag from his waist that should have been prepared a long time ago and threw it to Watson.

"I know, I'm going to be an adult now, okay? I can take responsibility for myself, you can rest assured, good night daddy. ”

Watson took the money bag and smiled, waved his hand again, and the black paw appeared again, picked up the milk tea and cookies on the chair, followed him, and went to his room on the second floor.

"Heh, what a nasty boy, but that ability is really interesting beyond my expectations, has he really grown into a character who can take charge of himself, and you have to work hard in the future, after all, you are my Maury's ......"

Looking at Watson's back as he went upstairs, Maury muttered to himself, then picked up the plate on the table and walked to the kitchen, the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes and the hooked corners of his mouth proved that the owner did not seem to be in a bad mood.
