39. Bloodfinger Hunter
Watching the two big men shake hands, Melina looked helpless, do men communicate like this?
Either way, after Ash and Sir Baizhi befriended each other, the atmosphere of the team became more harmonious.
Seeing that the time came to noon, there was still no figure of Millicent, and now there was no way to be in a hurry, when they were separated, they only set the address of the meeting, and did not confirm the time.
After all, no one could have imagined that there would be an emergency.
All we can do now is wait with peace of mind.
Ash set up a fire to prepare lunch, and since it was not clear how long it would take to find the Valkyrie, he naturally brought enough supplies.
The body of the spirit horse is full of two large bags, anyway, it does not carry people, and it does not affect the speed.
Take out the jerky, knead and sprinkle it in a pot, and the rice porridge that has gradually bubbled has begun to emit the aroma of food.
Not far away, a figure slowly approached, and before the person could arrive, the voice came.
"Can you ask for a bowl of rice?"
Ash covered the pot with a lid and looked at the begging man who had come to him, dressed as a wanderer, with a long knife pinned to his waist, how long it was. According to Ash estimates, it is at least longer than two swords.
The strangest thing is not the weapon, but the top of the man's head, not a helmet or a hat, but a hat, an iron hat.
Anyway, Ash thinks it's more symbolic than practical.
"Just froth, I'll have to wait a minute."
Since they met in the wild, and the other party had no malicious intent, a bowl of rice was given!
The man sat cross-legged and began to look at Ash.
Idle is also idle, and the ashes throw out the topic first.
"Dare to ask, where is this going?"
"Kill!"
The man's words completely aroused Ash's interest, but the sentence "killing" couldn't be answered.
Asking too much, Ash is afraid of leading to misunderstandings.
As if he had seen the ashes' heart, Sir Hundred Wisdom had a handle at this time.
"I've heard of [Blood Finger Hunter] for a long time, and it's the first time I've seen it, so this weapon will definitely be extraordinary!"
Ash lifted the lid of the pot and began to serve the rice, and after handing the strange man a bowl, he began to wait for Sir Baizhi to continue the popularization of science.
"Since the Shattered War, I don't know when a blood-worshipping organization appeared in the Borderlands."
"They hunt down the Faders for loot and power, calling themselves Bloodfinger!"
"The Bloodfinger Hunter is naturally the one who hunts the Bloodfinger."
The strange man gobbled up his meal and wiped the corners of his mouth.
"Yes, I'm the Bloodfinger Hunter, this time I'm going to the Snow Mountain to get rid of Shura!"
"Shura?" Ash was a little surprised.
This name was once mentioned by White Mask, and it was also claimed that this was a samurai who followed them to organize and cultivate, and his strength increased greatly and he was called Shura.
Surprised by the sight of the ashes, the Bloodfinger Hunter asks why? The ashes told the truth.
"I see, I vaguely feel the power of blood in your body, it turns out that I have been tempted by blood fingers."
"Fortunately, you resisted the temptation at the beginning, otherwise, I am afraid I would not have been able to eat this bowl of rice today!"
The Bloodfinger Hunter looked at the ashes with a look of sudden realization.
With that, the Bloodfinger Hunter got up, patted his buttocks, and bowed goodbye.
Ash nodded his head and gestured for receipt.
After the Bloodfinger Hunter walked away, Ash remembered that after finding the Son of Platinum, Sir Hundred Wisdom sent Shane to assassinate him, whether he had a clue about Michaela.
"There is indeed a clue, the Holy Tree Rune is a necessary item to reach the Sacred Tree area."
"So, we must find the whereabouts of another Sacred Tree rune."
"Then why massacre Platinum Village?"
Ash asked the doubts in his heart, he couldn't find the rune, and he didn't have to kill anyone.
"How can I say it, the platinum family, to be precise, is not human."
"What?"
"They are a created race!"
"So in the second generation, there is a problem with the genes and it becomes ugly!"
It turned out to be this reason, and Ash still wondered why the Platinum family, who looked like turtles in Lake Lieria, was so far different from the Platinum Son, it turned out to be a genetic problem.
"Who created the Platinum Clan?"
"I'm guessing it's the Sacred Tree Michaela, because of the Platinum Guardian Sacred Tree Rune."
Well, there doesn't seem to be a problem with how to speculate violently.
Speaking of the sacred tree Michaela, Ash is a little curious, this demigod has never been seen before, but there are many legends about him in the borderland.
"There is very little information about the Sacred Tree Michaela, except that he is a god-man, just like the Valkyrie Malenia, and that he is inherently flawed. ”
"God-Man ???"
"Aren't the children of the goddess all demigods?"
"Why is Michaela the sacred tree called a man of God?"
This time he asked Sir Hundred Wisdom, hesitated for a moment, and Sir Hundred Wisdom continued.
"The name of the man of God is transmitted by two fingers."
"It stands to reason that the heirs of the goddess should all be demigods."
"Valkyrie Malenia was born with a missing arm and a leg, and as for Michaela, it seems to be able-bodied, but for some reason it is also rumored that he is flawed."
"What is certain, however, is that Michaela seems to have abandoned the basic law of the Golden Law and planted a tree, and that tree is the sacred tree."
"That's why Michaela is called the Sacred Tree Michaela!"
It seems that the goddess's family is still full of mysteries.
"Oh yes, Lani once told me that Godwin didn't kill her, how much do you think you can believe that?"
"What Lani told you?"
"Well, I was investigating with Roger about the Dead, and I met the Black Knife Guards and got the Black Knife Brand."
"In the end, it was confirmed that the Black Knife Conspiracy Night was started by Lani, but she said that she only killed her own body and did not harm Godwin."
"Perhaps, Lani's words are true."
"Because it's only her, who abandoned her own big lune!"
"From this, it can be seen that Lani doesn't care about the Golden Rule, even the borderlands."
"As for killing your own body, I guess it's to get rid of the two fingers?"
Ash doesn't understand, why does it have anything to do with two fingers?
"I forgot to mention just now that the gods designated by the two fingers are not only Valkyrie and Michaela, but also Lani!"
"Lani is a god-man?"
"What the hell does a man of God do?"
Sir Wisdom thought about it, but confessed everything to Ash.
"I've spoken to Two Fingers before, and Two Fingers thinks that the Junction and even the Golden Tree have long since begun to decay."
"At that time, there was no broken war."
"The second finger is preparing to cultivate a godman, it seems that it is to take the place of the goddess Marika."
"Take the place of the goddess? Isn't the goddess immortal? ”
"Oh, nothing is immortal, and although she is called the Eternal Goddess, isn't it now gone?"
"So, Erzhi's prediction is right, but it is not clear which side Erzhi is on."
"Although it is the mouthpiece of the supreme will, who can really prove it?"
