hunt and eat

Chapter 44 End or Begin

"Good intentions?"

Hearing what Guta said, Cassius touched his chin, and then laughed.

"Of course he won't have good intentions for you, after all..." After a pause, Cassius pointed to himself, and then to the three of Guta, "What he hates the most in his life is us hunters."

These words stunned both Nia and Weiwei.

"Lord City Lord...hate us? Why?"

Cassius got up and walked to the French windows, looking at the figure slowly walking out of the union downstairs.

Coincidentally, the other party seemed to have noticed his gaze and looked up.

The two nodded each other, with smiles on their faces, but their eyes were cold.

"Who does the power of the City Lord's Mansion come from? Weiwei, you have lived here since you were a child, you should be familiar with it?" Cassius asked without turning his head after taking a sip of the cold tea.

"I know that the lord of the city is a person with both ability and integrity selected by the cabinet of the royal capital."

"That's right, the royal capital, the Shreid Kingdom that has essentially existed in name only."

Cassius spoke sarcastically, making no effort to conceal his disdain for the kingdom.

Weiwei was a little confused and said, "Aren't we all from the kingdom?"

"It's different..." Cassius shook his head and explained: "Will you agree with the king who is far away and the king doesn't even know what he looks like? You will run to recover the homeland at his order, launch War, crusade against monsters?"

Weiwei shook her head, and Nia also replied beside her: "We are hunters, we only obey the union's arrangement after accepting the task~Everyone is free at ordinary times,"

"Yeah, you won't... After all, hunters are the freest in the world"

"But he will!"

Cassius didn't say who he was, but all three of them understood that he was referring to Lord Roz.

"Similarly, he thinks those of us who have no sense of honor and disobey the orders of the king, including all members of the hunter union, are traitors and thieves!" After finishing speaking, Casius turned to look at the three of them.

"Our hunter and the kingdom, it seems that there can only be one of the two..."

His eyes became extremely sharp, staring straight at the three boys and girls, and his body leaned forward slightly.

"So, which side do you support?"

An inexplicable aura rose from his body, as if there was any disagreement, he would strike.

Even Weiwei was seeing Cassius in this state for the first time, so she didn't even dare to open her mouth casually for a while.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

Until Guta stood in front of Cassius.

"We're not taking sides."

He said calmly, and then stretched out his hand, "Hunters are the freest people in this world, you said that, so we don't have to make this choice...Give us the hammer, this mission is over. "

The tone was firm, and at the same time, there was an almost palpable dissatisfaction.

Although Guta was unresponsive, he somewhat understood the real intention of Cassius' mission this time.

Whether it is the Kailong who has already entered the critical point of death, or the assassin who attacked them, the branch leader probably knew it well in advance.

He wanted to take the initiative to force Guta and the others to stand in line.

After all, given the fact that the forces of the Kingdom and the Hunter Guild are at odds, it is not difficult to guess the origins of those assassins.

Then, compared to the kingdom forces that have threatened their own lives, most people will probably choose to join the trade union forces.

But these people do not include Guta.

Because he hates politics and intrigue.

I also don't want to follow other people's instructions step by step like a puppet.

Looking at Guta's firm eyes and dissatisfied expression, Cassius suddenly realized that his step might have gone astray.

Although it seems unreasonable, the young man with great potential in front of him probably understands it better than anyone else.

His own layout seems to have had the opposite effect.

Sighing inwardly, Cassius slowly took out the small silver-gray hammer from his pocket.

Legendary Blacksmithing Hammer—Molten Iron Revives

"Take it... Also, this time, I'm sorry for you." Cassius sat down on the chair wearily, and said nothing more.

Taking the hammer that was much heavier than it looked, Guta nodded, and handed it back to Weiwei who was not very happy for some reason.

The three saluted and left.

The moment the door was closed, Guta took a last look at Cassius' back.

Lonely and depressed, but inexplicably giving people a feeling of persistence.

Is it the exact opposite of the slack on the outside?
What a contradictory guy...

……

The three walked out of the guild, and were silent for a while.

"Uncle Cassius, does he know everything, including the assassination..." Weiwei was a little depressed.

Su Sheng's hands holding the molten iron dropped down.

Nia wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

After all, Cassius really put them into danger on purpose this time.

"He may be a cunning guy, but he shouldn't be as bad as you think. Even if I didn't make a move, he would have made a move." Guta said a rare word for Cassius.

He didn't say that for comfort.

According to where Cassius appeared, he was probably following these assassins all the time, and naturally he would not let them hurt Vivi and Nia.

"At least as far as the results are concerned, our mission is going well, isn't it?" Niya also said something and patted Weiwei on the back, "Don't think so much, we just live our own lives, and the rest Let the big guys have a headache."

Only then did Weiwei feel a little warmer, she nodded, but she was still not in high spirits.

"By the way, I forgot to ask before, Weiwei, can you forge armor?" Guta didn't know whether it was to divert the topic, or if he really remembered something, and suddenly said: "This time I collected a lot of materials from Kailong. , I wonder if it is possible to strengthen the existing armors of me and Nia."

After many battles, Nia is still good as a long-range output, but the Snow Lion King leather armor on Guta's body has long been scarred.

There is no way, after all, as the only melee and main output in the team, he has assumed most of the output of the monsters in disguise.

The reason why it has survived until now and has not been completely damaged can only be said to be due to luck.

"Except for the forging of Taidao, I can do everything else... I suggest not to change the one of Niya. She uses a heavy crossbow. Compared with the heavy armored dragon material, she needs lighter leather armor. If you have any material, you can pay attention to it later.”

Weiwei paused, looked up and down the leather armor of the ancient tower, shook her head and said: "As for the leather armor of the Snow Lion King on your body, I suggest that you should replace it with armored dragon materials. With your physical strength The weight is nothing to worry about, but the defense can be greatly improved."

"I'll probably need a week."

Nia wanted to take money from her backpack, but Weiwei slapped her dissatisfiedly.

"I won't take money from my friends, Nia, you are too much!"

"I was wrong, so I'll leave it to you... Next time, just tell me what materials you want, and Guta and I will collect them for you." Nia smiled enthusiastically, and Guta beside him also shook his head helplessly.

Although the meeting was not very harmonious at the beginning, after all, they are considered companions who have experienced adventures together, and the emotion is naturally no longer the same as before.

What's more, after actual contact, although Weiwei is a little too obsessed with advanced materials and forging, she is still a very good person.

At least to friends, she is absolutely sincere.

"Then trouble you, Weiwei, come to us at any time if you have anything to do." Guta and Nia waved goodbye to Weiwei in front of the blacksmith shop, and walked towards the hotel under the moonlight and the flickering bonfires in the city.

And somewhere in the dark shadows, a man covered in a cloak was standing on the balcony of a tall building, watching them expressionlessly.

"Extinction, that is the goal you need to deal with in the near future."

"Although he is irrelevant in itself, it is enough to become the trigger for Roz to make up his mind..."

After that, he turned his head to look around.

It was a girl with black hair and bare feet, with chains and shackles on her wrists, ankles and neck.

"Just kill him?"

"I understand."
