Chapter 2979: Hunter's Mistake

Chapter 2978 Hunter's Mistake

The ring wizards were very quick to make a fire and cook. After more than ten minutes, the bonfire was set up, and the aroma of roasted wild boar meat filled the entire forest. However, Mia usually doesn't have much requirements for meat. It prefers fruits and desserts, so the cat didn't make a sound because of the smell.

The leader of the three hunters called himself Marcus Stultz. After roasting his prey, he stood up and offered the right leg of the wild boar to the ruins, and then used a knife to divide the rest of the wild boar to everyone including himself.

Because the hunters brought seasonings with them, the taste of the food should be very good. Everyone started to eat, and after Miss Orlanod counted down three numbers, everyone except the three hunters fell beside the bonfire.

The hunters didn't move, but ate the food in their hands before getting up. At the same time as they stood up, the eleventh-ring Professor Hermann Hope also sat up, holding his waist and said:

"Do you really want to finish eating before you start? Although I am only fifty-six years old this year, lying on the snow is not a good experience."

In fact, he looks only about forty years old.

The surprised hunters immediately picked up their longbows and pointed arrows at him. The leader, Stulz, did not forget to explain:

"Enjoying the prey is a respect for them and a respect for hunting."

"So you are really believers of this old god? When you poisoned just now, I thought you were pretending."

The professor stood up, but it seemed that the other members of the Zalas Academy team were really unconscious:

"You designed a treacherous conspiracy with prey in the temple of the old god you believe in. Is this really what believers should do?"

"Designing traps is also part of hunting. My Lord does not require believers to be good or evil. Hunting itself is just To survive. "

"Then you three must have some reason to hunt us? Are you cannibals? You don't look like it. Are you greedy for money? But I remember your tradition is to maintain a simple life. "

Professor Hope said doubtfully, and the eleven-ring life ring behind him also appeared completely at this time:

"The young people who came with me have been sitting in the office for too long, only knowing how to deal with the children in the academy. Now they should learn some lessons, so I didn't remind them. But you three can guess whether I am really the only one awake now. "

As soon as the three golden arrows were released by the bowstring, they turned directly into a huge stream of light and bombarded Professor Hope. The huge wind pressure blew away the bonfire, but the seemingly extremely powerful attack was directly blocked by the book-shaped shield formed in front of Professor Hope.

Shad knew this, this was Luvia's [Blessing of Books].

The effect of the three divine weapons was indeed powerful, but it was still not enough for them to defeat Professor Hope, who had eleven rings. After blocking the attacks of the three people, the spiritual runes behind the professor flashed, and then the snowflakes on the ground flew up and condensed into a long whip.

The wind pressure formed when the snow-white long whip was pulled out even swept away the snow in front of the ruins. The three people wanted to block it, but the shield they built together was broken in the next second.

The two five-ring warlocks among the hunters fell to the ground with serious injuries. When the professor waved the ice whip again, the only remaining six-ring warlock had already fled into the range of the temple ruins. The professor frowned and thought for a while, and did not let the huge long whip continue to attack to prevent the destruction of the remaining columns. He shouted to the man hiding behind the column:

"Since your poison only makes us unconscious, come out and surrender now, and then explain clearly why you are hostile to us, you still have a chance not to be wanted by the Orthodox Church and the three major colleges."

Miss Shade and Olanod could not see clearly what the hunters hiding behind the pillars were doing, but the ground suddenly trembled, and then several giant trees in the forest surrounding the ruins suddenly became active.

The appearance of the tree people also startled Professor Hope. After all, the magic mastered by the followers of the God of Hunting should not include "calling tree people". Their power about the forest is more about terrain perception, tracking and anti-tracking, mosquito protection, and animal conversation.

So the professor cast a spell to disperse the tree people to prevent other ring magicians in the academy from being hurt. But the moment he turned around, a gray ray immediately shot at him from behind the pillar.

"Blessing of books!"

But Professor Hope seemed to have expected it, and the golden book-shaped shield opened again to block him. But this time things didn't go so smoothly. After the gray ray hit the shield, the golden light flow inside the shield seemed to solidify and stopped flowing.

Immediately, the gray ray passed through the shield and hit Professor Hope directly, so he also solidified in place.

The vines hiding under the snow suddenly emerged from both sides of the professor, trying to tie up Professor Herman Hope, but at this moment, two cards flashed in the wind, and the vines were silently cut by the cards, and the man hiding behind the pillar also heard the strange sound behind him.

Shad, who appeared behind him using "Raglai's Leap", pressed his shoulders. The hunter wanted to fight back, but he was frozen in place like the professor outside.

"The power of time suspension?"

Professor Hope's voice came from the open space outside the ruins. The professor who had been stopped by time had recovered. It seemed that even if Shade didn't take action, the hunter's sneak attack would not be very successful. I just don’t know if Professor Hope’s resistance is high enough, or if the power itself cannot be maintained for too long.

It's just that the professor was unable to see Shade after all, because Miss Olanold who was hiding in the woods attacked him again. When Shade came out of the ruins with the six-ringed hunter, the witch was controlling everyone who was unconscious to float to the bonfire, and then lit the flame again, probably to prevent them from catching cold.

"I guess what you want to know is not suitable for the people of Zalas Academy to hear."

Miss Ole Nord explained that she had no psychological burden for knocking out Professor Hermann Hopper.

What happened next was much simpler. All three hunters were controlled, and the unconscious academy ring warlocks were examined and confirmed to be just poisoned and not in danger for the time being.

Miss Olanode did not try to interrogate the hunter. She asked Shade to release the time control on the six-ring hunter, and then waved her hand to summon a translucent bone claw. The bone claw directly pressed on the hunter's head. It was like grabbing his head.

A gray light symbolizing the power of the soul appeared on the bone claws. The hunter struggled violently, and then his eyes turned gray.

"You go ahead and ask."

The yellow-haired witch said in a brisk tone:

"I'm going to take a look at this ruins. This is a secret technique specially used to interrogate students. It is very reliable."

Shade nodded hesitantly:

"Okay, I just didn't expect you would allow this to be used on students at that time."

"The punishments students at the academy may suffer are already very light compared to what they were exposed to during the apprenticeship period."

Miss Olanode said with a smile, and then really walked towards the ruins.

Shade then looked at the hunter kneeling in the snow:

"Why are you attacking these ring warlocks?"

"No, we can't let anyone investigate here, no, we can't let anyone discover my mistake."

The hunter spoke in fits and starts, but at least the content was coherent.

"What did you find?"

The hunter under the bone claw struggled, but as the gray light on the bone claw grabbing his head became stronger and stronger, the hunter still said the answer during the struggle:

"More than thirty years ago, I accidentally killed a boy while hunting in the nearby woods. I was not as strong as I am now, and I wasn't as good at dark vision. I swear I thought it was just a deer. I, I confessed to the temple, I, I confessed to the gods, but I got no response.”

He continued to struggle violently, but tears were streaming down his face. His voice became hoarse, and tears fell down his cheeks, leaving small pits on the snow:

"God didn't answer me, but other beings did."

"Who responded to you?"

Shade asked with a frown, having a bad feeling in his heart.

"The forest responded to me. I saw and saw the tree under the guidance of the forest. It promised to resurrect the child and give me strength. I don't need to betray my faith or my oath to protect this forest. I, I I agreed, but I have done many strange things for that tree over the years, delivering messages and guiding the lost.

Too much evidence, too many records of what I have done, have been buried under the soil in the southeast corner of this temple. I can't, I can't let anyone. I had always doubted what that tree was before, but recently we learned about the news spread by the Zhengshen Church from the [Forest Hermits Group], so I understood. "

Shade understood what he said. The disappearance of Uncle Flora's childhood playmate was explained at this point, so Luvia's special divination was indeed omnipotent. The question that has troubled Anthony Winslet his whole life is actually that simple:

"The tree promised you to resurrect the child, did it do it?"

Shade continued to ask, and I am afraid that the next step is the answer he is looking for.

"It did."

The hunter was trembling all over, but no one could tell whether he was excited or afraid:

"When I saw that tree in the dark night, even though the child had been dead for three hours, his soul had not completely left. He still had an obsession, and he wanted to help his lost child. companion so the tree can repair his body and return the soul.

The tree really resurrected him, but the child made a wish to the tree, hoping that the tree could help his companions. This wish was also realized, and the hounds of the hunters in Ximu Town found another missing child under the guidance. "
