Chapter 373 You Know Nothing About the Truth of the World
Ningen.
A small town not far from the trade route.
In the bustling tavern, an adventurer wearing old-style armor walked in with a bag of dragon scales and slapped the things on the table.
"Oh my, failed again?"
The bartender, who is also an employee of the Adventurer's Guild, counted the number of scales and exchanged them for bread to give to the adventurer.
"Yes."
The adventurer named Dam sat on a wooden chair, took off his helmet, revealing his scarred face, picked up a glass of malt beer that was left over by someone else, and drank it down.
He wiped his lips and smiled cheerfully, which was incompatible with the pain of the scars on his face.
"I heard that the army of the principality is coming. Do you want to give you a convenience and join that army?"
"No."
Dam refused happily.
"I just took a big task to hunt a golden fighter (golden lion) who knows kung fu."
"The one who ran up from the first floor?"
"There is a team, I just play a supporting role."
Dam picked up the bread and stuffed it into his bag.
"As long as there are rations, enough to eat and drink, and a place to sleep, isn't this heaven on earth?"
Dam has always been so optimistic.
The bartender heard this guy's stomach growling.
"Hey, you are so hungry, why don't you eat the bread first."
"I am used to eating at home."
Dam walked out of the tavern.
He is the only adventurer in this town.
A level 2 adventurer, but a lone wolf.
But he is a very good person.
Dam walked out of the tavern and carried the cannon at the door.
The electromagnetic cannon is more than two meters long. He was just worried about disturbing the people in the tavern, so he would put the weapon at the door every time he went to the store.
Dam walked alone.
For some reason, the weather was getting colder, and he exhaled white breath from his mouth and stopped halfway.
"Hey", he put on the big electromagnetic cannon again.
"My foot injury is getting worse again."
Dam limped away and disappeared in the mist of the town.
The sun shone through the mist.
It shone on the wooden board of the abandoned hut, casting a layer of cold green light.
Dam walked into the house, his feet stepped on the wooden board, making a terrible creaking sound.
Singing came from the inner room.
The girl's singing was beautiful and pleasant.
Dam's ears moved, he put down his weapon, and walked into the inner room.
The wooden door made an old sound, and a bloody smell came out of the room. Dam stood there, the broken body of the city bird was placed on the ground, the blood soaked the ceiling, and the blood dots were on the ground.
The girl turned her head, half of her face facing the sun, and half of her face hidden in the shadow.
The black eyes looked at Dam.
Expressionless, with blood on the corners of her mouth.
Dam smiled with relief.
"I told you, that kind of thing can't be eaten."
...
Li Nuo and Cha Bai went back to Henry's residence first.
"So soon?"
Henry was shocked when he saw Li Nuo smash the big ○○ of the earth sand dragon on the grass outside.
"Well, the next one is the Sao Bird." Li Nuo quickly changed his words: "Well, the next one is the Colorful Glass Bird."
People in this world always give monsters some strange names.
At this time, Mr. Victor leaned out of the second-floor window and threw out the mask.
Li Nuo raised his hand to catch it.
[Emile's Mask]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Equipment requirements: Insight 100]
[Attribute bonus: Constitution +10]
[Effect 1: You can view the individual abilities of a single enemy. If the target level is too high, you can only view five of the ability values. Each scenario can be used 30 times]
[Effect 2: The frontal defense of the head is increased, which can resist the impact of an ordinary 9mm bullet, but this does not mean that you will not be shocked to death]
[Effect 3: The magic element particles are stored. There is a separate storage compartment in the mask, which can store any items weighing no more than 300 kilograms, including bound weapons and even creatures (all of the above actions will have a high probability of consuming the durability of the mask)]
[Effect 4: After killing the target, the target's special data can be recorded]
[Effect 5: You can choose to "hide the helmet"]
[Note: The data display method of the special character is different from that of the ordinary target]
[Brief description: The mask is smiling, and its original owner is no longer sad]
Emile...
Li Nuo turned the mask over and put it on his face. Now the mask can be transparent with flame arc light, and in theory, Cha Bai can be put in it.
He needed to kill a monster to try out "Effect 4".
"What about the rest?"
"Still making it, but this mask is faster."
Henry bit a straw stick and was sawing the monster's skin outside the house.
At this time, Cha Bai in the inner room shouted.
"Come here!"
She was very excited. Although she asked others to come, she ran out on her own initiative, holding a long-handled hammer in her hand.
She was drawing random cards in the house just now.
Now she is responsible for drawing cards, just luck.
Li Nuo recognized the hammer in her hand at a glance.
The explosive hammer from "Bloodborne".
Henry took the hammer with a smile, and the magic gushing out of his palm covered the surface of the hammer, pulling out a silk thread like a viscous liquid.
"It can be fused."
Cha Bai became more and more excited: "Really?"
"You want to add a detonator to your hammer, is that what you mean?" Henry changed his mouth: "No, it should be said that you should add something to enhance the power of heavy blows."
Cha Bai smiled and nodded: "Well, although the previous hammer was modified in the first-floor town, the detonation strength was far worse than I imagined."
What she was referring to in her imagination was Jello's modified ax, which was also equipped with an explosive system, but its ax could lift up the ground in one go, while her hammer could only carve out a small hole.
There are two reasons.
1. Zero's weapon detonator has been improved, and the power of the blast bottle installed is also more powerful.
Second, the hardness of the "Vapor Wave" world is not as good as that of "Chuangjie Mountain".
"Do not worry."
Henry smiled confidently and naturally.
"Wait until tomorrow and I will give you a hammer as big as a meat grinder."
"Um!"
Chabai's obsession with the hammer is pathological.
Li Nuo organized his things, carried the big bag, climbed on the Eagle Dragon, wrapped the reins twice around his wrists, skillfully pulled the safety officer up, and whistled at Cha Bai.
"gone."
Chabai nodded, said "thank you" to Henry, then looked at Mr. Victor upstairs and waved his hand.
A burst of dust rose.
Uncle Henry sorted out the materials left by the two men and touched his chin.
"The ○○ of the Dragon of the Earth Space (Tandosa Dragon)...the Explosive Flame Egg of the Overlord. I just need the last two materials that are the best to get..."
He walked upstairs talking to himself.
Meanwhile, Mr. Victor rummaged through a box in the attic.
"That thing is very important to me." Henry stood by the door frame with a calm tone and a smile on his face.
"Oh, I'm looking for materials." Victor explained: "Sorry."
"nothing."
Henry opened the box. There was a broken hand cannon in the box.
"I used that gentleman's drawings to make the Amsterdam experimental cannon."
Victor thought it was Marger's work, so he didn't say anything more. It wasn't until he got down the stairs that he felt something was wrong.
But I just don't know what's wrong.
…
The final target is the city slut, in Ningen Town as entrusted by the adventurer's mission.
When Li Nuo arrived at Ningen Town, his whole body was in bad shape.
It was the first time Cha Bai saw him turn so pale when there was no danger around him, as if his blood had been drained.
"Weird."
He tied the reins of the Eagle Eagle outside the tavern.
Chuangjie Mountain has a car, and they also have a car, but the car also has its own inconveniences. For example, it can play BGM, the Eagle Eagle Dragon can sense approaching danger, and the rent is cheap, so Li Nuo has no problem choosing this guy.
But when Li Nuo felt strange, the Eagle Eagle Dragon was eating the bugs on the ground with peace of mind.
"Am I too sensitive?"
"how?"
Cha Bai asked him.
"nothing……"
Li Nuo's "Hunter" sense of smell is much stronger than his previous sense of alertness. The last time the "Hunter"'s sense of alertness was so outrageous was the Mirror Master.
He said it was nothing, but after taking only a few steps forward, he suddenly covered his mouth and retched.
Extreme disgust.
There's something terribly scary in town.
Cha Bai was frightened by his appearance.
Li Nuo raised his head and said, "Look at the hidden boss."
Cha Bai checked around, and finally pointed at the security officer and asked him to turn his head. He also found a dark corner and took out the [Hidden BOSS Location Code] from the chest line.
"No……"
She confirmed again and again.
"There is something moving towards me hundreds of kilometers away. It should be a golden lion. At least there is none in the town."
Li Nuo: "There must be."
His voice was cold and filled with murderous intent.
The obsession with strange creatures from demon hunters and bloodborne hunters affects the brain.
There must be a hidden BOSS, but it's hidden.
Cha Bai lowered his voice and urged: "Go back if you find the coquettish bird. Don't stay here too long."
Li Nuo: "Yeah."
Clouds appeared in the sky and the wind picked up.
…
The wind blows.
There was an uneasy creaking sound outside the window.
Dam lowered his head.
The girl held onto the hem of his clothes tightly.
"Are you sometimes scared?"
Dam took out the food, which was the bread he had just gotten in the tavern, but the girl shook her head.
"What's wrong? Aren't you hungry?"
The girl nodded and pointed to the puddle of flesh and blood on the ground.
"I've told you several times, you can't eat raw food."
Damu spoke with sincerity.
"Although I know you are a dragon girl, if you want to survive, you have to pretend to be a human."
After hearing this, the dragon girl carefully took the bread, reluctantly stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed it.
Seeing her like this, Dam felt a little calmer.
Dragon Girl.
1% of the dangerous creatures in Chuangjie Mountain are humanoid dragons.
The above statement comes from the Adventurer's Code.
But so far, there has been no real case of witnessing a humanoid dragon, not even once.
Perhaps the witnesses were eaten.
Or maybe...
The so-called one percent is actually this dragon girl.
In any case, from the first time he saw the dragon girl, Dam had a feeling that this little girl was not "bad".
"Listen, all the bread I've been hoarding is in big bags. I put the bags in the house, along with some dried meat."
"You must never hunt monsters again, it's very dangerous for you."
"right."
"If you are discovered, you will be taken away and made into a specimen."
"No matter how strong you are, you will eventually get tired in the face of overwhelming numbers of soldiers and firepower."
Dam wanted to touch the girl's face, just like touching his dead daughter, but he just smiled dryly and watched the dragon girl trying her best to eat the bread.
The dragon girl raised her head, chewing, and pointed at him with her dark eyes.
Then, she asked in a girl's voice: "You want to leave?"
Her pronunciation is terrible.
Dam nodded.
"It's a long trip, ah... it won't be too far."
"When are you coming back?"
"About a week."
"Can you help, that... person?"
"You mean that 'hum'?"
A picture appeared in Dam's mind. Not long ago, there was a guy who came here looking for a slut.
That guy always says "huh".
At that time, he broke into the neighborhood. The dragon girl didn't know why, but she was very hostile to him. If Dam was not there at the time, Marger might have been killed.
"After that guy read the notes of "The Prince and the Village of Remains", he said he wanted to save the women of the Village of Remains..."
Damn recalled, something suddenly happened.
"It seems like this is your first time asking me to do something?"
"I mean..." Dragon Girl swallowed her saliva: "Go and check, don't get involved..."
"Then ask other people for help, right?" Dam was still confused: "You seem to have something on your mind, so you asked me for help."
The dragon girl could feel that something dangerous and malicious was approaching her from the far side.
"I don't have much time left. They are coming to kill me."
When she finished speaking, her small voice was muffled by the wind outside the window.
And after saying that, she regretted it.
So, with just a glare and two breaths, Dam forgot her last words.
The bell tower in the town rang a dull bell.
Dam stood up.
"Then I'm going to go and hide myself well during this period."
"Wait..." Dragon Girl stopped him.
"Is there anything else?" Dam turned around.
"If, when you come back, I leave, do me a favor again."
"Um?"
"I have a strange memory... I found two 'lights'..."
The dragon girl has long lost her memory. She just remembers that she wants to find something or someone related to the "two lights".
"Well... although I know you have lost your memory, there are too few clues... I'm leaving, and I'll think of a solution when I come back."
The dragon girl watched Dam leave.
Finally lowered his head.
"I also want to become a human being..."
…
"City slut? He should be dead."
The bartender polished his glass.
Opposite the bar stood Li Nuo and Cha Bai.
"died?"
"Well, every time the town bell rings, that guy will look up to the sky and howl." The bartender looked up and howled "Ah" in the same way, and then said: "That's it."
In other words, I haven't seen that troublesome bird for two days.
"It doesn't matter if that guy is dead, he likes to steal things, and recently it has developed into robbery. If anyone doesn't give it, it will bite anyone. Four people have died, and as many as 26 people have been injured. You know , there are only more than two hundred people in this town.”
The bartender kept chattering and put the wine glass on the shelf. When he turned around, Li Nuo held Marjie's portrait in front of him.
"Have you seen this person?"
The bartender rolled his eyes upward.
Li Nuo raised his foot and took out a copper coin from the secret pocket of the heel.
"A glass of ale."
"I've seen it." The bartender was affected by the memory resuscitation technique. He turned around and poured the wine and said: "I came to see the city slut like you, but I didn't see that guy's shadow later. He might have been eaten."
When he finished speaking, there was no one at the bar.
The door to the tavern creaked open.
Cha Bai looked at the dark clouds in the sky, stretched out his palms, and felt the wind direction.
Not far away, a truck carrying adventurers passed by. Li Nuo noticed Dam sitting in the car. At that moment, he seemed to smell Marger's scent, but for a brief moment, the person who took over the smell was A feeling of disgust for the monsters hidden deep in the town.
Cha Bai took off the small bag on his back, took out two lunch boxes and handed them to Li Nuo, and took out a skewer of [Fire Dragon's synthetic meat skewers].
Cha Bai didn't want to eat it, so Li Nuo forced it into his mouth.
[Fire Dragon’s Synthetic Meat Skewers: Increase the destructive power of “fire” attribute]
[Eternal Spirit Knife Bonus: Obtain the right to use the skills of the random overlord Fire Dragon once]
Cha Bai reluctantly chewed the meat skewers, puffed out his cheeks and asked, "Where can I find him?"
Li Nuo looked at the direction that disgusted him the most: "There."
Half an hour later, in the woods on the far west side of the town.
In front of a small house.
Li Nuo's disgust reached its peak, and he really smelled Marger's scent.
Although the demon hunter's nose is sensitive, it has many limitations. For example, when tracking in the wild, if it has rained, the journey is too long, or the target has been away for a long time, it will not be able to smell the smell.
There are exceptions.
If the target's odor is very familiar, if the target has stayed in a closed space for a long time, there is a probability that even after a month, the odor can still be smelled, but it is just very weak.
He was sure that Marger was not here now, but he had indeed stayed here.
Li Nuo didn't rush in, but looked deep into the woods.
He smelled the corpse of the monster.
Behind the wooden house, he found the body of Sao Niao in the soil.
"It was eaten."
"The flesh and blood on the body was violently dismembered, just like in a drama."
Li Nuo picked up a piece of meat from Sao Niao.
"The death occurred no more than four hours ago, and there is a residual fruity scent and the scent of a young girl on the body... but..."
A very disgusting smell.
He knew that the thing that made him extremely disgusted and even irritated was in the wooden house.
Cha Bai, who was standing behind him, walked around to the other side of the house.
Facing a broken window, the linen curtains in the glass blocked the inside.
A gust of wind blew and lifted the curtains.
Black eyes, long black hair, white clothes, and the face of a girl.
A dim room.
A blood-stained floor.
The girl trembled in the room.
Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
"Come, kill me, huh?"
Outside the window.
Cha Bai felt the coldness all around.
The tactical goggles recorded the data of the little girl.
She tried to check.
Suddenly, the goggles and eyeballs became hot, and the right eye exploded!
Overload!
Blood splattered, staining the goggles and cheeks, red and white.
She felt no pain because her whole body was trembling.
What kind of creature was that...
"Idiot."
Li Nuo put his hand on her shoulder, pulled her back, and flashed in front of her. The cane flashed with silver-white light dust, and the cane was burning with blue fire and crystal magic.
The fire was blazing, and in the smoke and dust, Li Nuo was blown away by the recoil of the ejection from the house. He hugged Cha Bai and jumped several meters away, sliding to stop the inertia.
He put Cha Bai down.
A little warm liquid slid into his mouth. Without seeing it, Li Nuo knew that he was disfigured.
The dragon girl's black eyes pierced through the smoke and dust.
She saw the blue flame on the cane and opened her mouth slightly: "Light...?"
When Li Nuo confronted her, the panel popped up:
[True Hidden World Line: You know nothing about the truth of the world]
