48 Hunters and Saints

Melen didn't intend to hide it in front of Mrs. Chelsea that she had hacked a middle-aged wizard to death with swordsmanship not long ago.

After all, this matter had already been seen by her daughter at that time, and now she is lying, and whenever the mother and daughter talk about the rescue process after they go back, they will inevitably mention this truth.

It's just that when Melen saw that Madame's expression suddenly became very serious, he doubted that this ability ...... What else could be hidden?

"Tonight, there's a wizard chasing her, and, well......"

Mellen's answer was slightly hesitant, and it seemed like she didn't know what to say.

But it can also be understood as being scared.

Ambiguous.

Mrs. Chelsea subconsciously understood Mellen's expression at the moment as the latter.

"A person who can easily break through a wizard's defenses by non-magical means is called a hunter."

As she said this, her serious expression softened.

"But since I rescued Alyssa, it proves that the person is not on the enemy side, maybe just passing by."

Your daughter's name is Elisa.

Hearing this, Melen thought to herself, and asked curiously on the surface, "Hunter? Hunting? ”

"He's a hunter."

"Hunt what?"

"Monsters, wizards, krakens, and even gods."

Madame replied, "Or you can understand this profession as a person who kills by duty." ”

"Sounds amazing?"

"It doesn't sound like they do, they're pretty good."

"But, I haven't heard anything about it before......"

"Because the profession is on the verge of extinction."

Madame said lightly: "It takes a very long time for hunters to cultivate, and there is not much difference between them and ordinary people in the early stage. ”

"The appearance of firearms has made some junior hunters have no advantage in front of ordinary people, so it is naturally difficult to continue the inheritance."

As she spoke, seeing Mellen's curious look, Madame thought about it, simply sat back on the sofa, and decided to give him some popular science.

"The heyday of the hunter profession was a thousand years ago, when wizards were scarce and not yet the mainstream of the world. It can even be said that wizards belonged to street rats in those days, and everyone shouted and beat them, and they were hunted down by hunters. ”

"Sounds ......"

Mellen asked musefully, "A bit like a product of the medieval church?" ”

The world also has the concept of "medieval", which can be roughly classified as more than 3,000 years ruled by two major churches.

"That's right."

Mrs. Chelsea nodded.

"The Night Church and the Helios Cult have spawned many otherworldly professions during their reigns, but the most famous are the Knight and Hunter."

"The former was responsible for guarding churches and temples around the world, while the latter was dedicated to hunting down monsters and evil gods all over the world at that time, and you can simply understand them as spears and shields in the hands of the church."

"But since the demon tide faded and the two major churches fell apart one after another, the two professions of hunter and knight have become more and more rare."

"But rare doesn't mean it doesn't exist, if you encounter a hunter above the junior level and you are your enemy, remember to run as far as you can."

"Is that an exaggeration?" Mellen was surprised to hear this.

He didn't think he was that good, did he? Is it because of a lack of skills?

"The most famous hunter in the world is named Granny Caesar, known as the Hand of God, the most trusted friend of Pope Chriss VI, and the deputy commander of the modern Holy Legion."

Mrs. Chelsea said: "He has many achievements, the most famous being the single killing of nearly ten top wizarding fugitives and hundreds of secondary criminals after the fall of the Abyss Tower, the largest prison in the wizarding world ten years ago, and was later awarded the position of honorary vice president by the International Federation of Wizards. ”

A "layman" was awarded the position of vice president of the industry by an insider......

Hearing this, Mellen was secretly shocked, and felt that this fact was strange enough.

"There were probably four or five hunters who were less famous than Caesar, and the most typical of them was a Shinrito named Guderian."

Mrs. Chelsea continued: 'He doesn't have a lot of records, but his title is the God Butcher. ”

"Did he kill a god?"

"The god of poison and disease, Cauligan, was awakened from its slumber a few years ago by some of its mad followers who spread the plague, only to run into Guderian passing by, so he was beaten back into a deep sleep when he just woke up."

"So, he's not a god butcher, is he?"

"Only when the believer dies will the gods fall completely."

Mrs. Chelsea patiently explained:

"So we will call the one who defeats the gods a god slayer. But there are very few people in history who can really destroy the gods, because no one has the time and energy to dig up all the believers of a certain god from all over the world. ”

"That's ......"

Hearing this, Meren asked curiously, "So, how exactly do hunters cultivate?" ”

"You already have their cultivation methods."

"Breathing?"

"That's right, the end of breathing practice is the wizard, and hunters and knights are the transcendent professions derived from this process."

"In that case, isn't a wizard supposed to be stronger than a hunter?"

"To be precise, the first generation of wizards who practiced the breathing method to the extreme and turned into wizards on their own were stronger than hunters."

Mrs. Chelsea shook her head and said: "But the current wizards, including you and me, are all wizarding talents inherited through bloodline reproduction, and although their physical fitness is stronger than ordinary people, they are completely different from the first generation of wizards. ”

"So at the same stage, in terms of lethality alone, wizards can't compare to hunters. However, due to the lack of means, it is actually difficult for a hunter to kill a wizard completely. ”

Speaking of this, the lady paused and said:

"The breathing method I gave you before, when you enter the door one day, you can actually try to practice some hunter abilities, so that you will have a great advantage when facing wizards of the same level."

"But, isn't that breathing method used by knights to practice?"

The topic is getting closer and closer to the "truth", and Mellen is a little heartbeating.

"That's where it's precious."

Madame said earnestly: "That Sun Knight Breathing Method is the core secret book of the Sun God Church, don't treat it as a third-rate classic, it is very complicated, you must study it carefully, and you must not slack off." ”

Hearing this, Mei Lun nodded obediently, and then asked casually, "Then, if you cultivate that breathing method to the extreme, can it prove that the cultivator actually has the qualifications to become a top hunter?" ”

"That's no different from the first generation of wizards, they are called saints walking in the world, not only are they strong in hunting, but the progress of the wizard's path will be very fast, far beyond others."

Madame said, "It's just that as I told you before, if a person wants to practice the breathing method to the extreme, it needs to be accumulated over generations, and after the initial era of the Great Outbreak of Saints, this kind of person has become very rare. ”

"Even Caesar, the Hand of God, is on this last step, and it is estimated that our generation will not see a new saint born."

……

Here, the master and apprentice are communicating face-to-face about things related to the breathing method.

Over there, Kevin, who was tired after experiencing tonight's catastrophe, spread out the Book of Secret Words, reported tonight's events to the elders, and then quietly waited for the other party's reply.
