I kill gods in my dream

Chapter 81 The Secret of the Past

"Hunter's Guild? What is that?"

Wu Shuang has heard about this organization many times from the mouths of these heroic spirits.

But he still doesn't understand what kind of organization this is, and why it disappeared. The commission he accepted may be related to this.

So, I took this opportunity to tentatively ask.

After experiencing the previous events, Kuhn became much less wary of the man in front of him.

After hearing the inquiry, they started talking about these past events as if chatting.

"That is a very old organization, and its goal is to hunt down all dark creatures."

Having said this, Kuen glanced at the man next to him.

For them, these are very familiar words, but for ordinary people who have almost never been exposed to the extraordinary, they may be confused, so he simply explained it.

"The dark creatures that hunters call are actually all creatures with extraordinary powers other than humans. They even include some humans who have been transformed into another form through rituals, such as spirits like me, or beast shifters. And those who are thirsty for blood.

In words familiar to ordinary people, aliens including ghosts, werewolves and vampires are also among the hunting targets of the Hunter Guild.

Of course, ghosts like me, who are heroic spirits, are not included.

This is a quite extreme attitude, because not all extraordinary creatures are hostile to humans, and in the end, the destruction of the Hunter Guild is inextricably related to this. "

"I see."

Wu Shuang was not very satisfied with this broad answer.

Because this is like a general introduction to a certain country or era in a history textbook, and it is impossible to understand its true appearance.

He looked at the glove in his hand and thought of a better question.

It not only involves the past of the Hunter Guild, but also the people he wants to know.

"Why is the Hunter Guild's secret treasure here? Was it brought back by the previous head of the family?"

"That's not it."

Kuhn shook his head, feeling helpless towards the previous head of the family: "He didn't like this family. He left the manor at the age of 17 and didn't come back for more than ten years. Naturally, he was even less likely to bring things home. Yes, this glove was brought back by a young lady who joined the Hunter Guild a long time ago as a souvenir and reward."

"Are there any other members of the Von Hohenfels family who have joined the Hunters Guild?"

Wu Shuang followed the topic and asked further.

Speaking of this, Kuhn was very proud.

"Of course, the Von Hohenfels family has always been on good terms with the Hunter Guild, and many juniors have also joined it. Many of them were taught swordsmanship and combat skills by me."

The more he listened, the more Wu Shuang felt something was wrong.

According to what Ying Ling said, the previous head of the family didn't like this family and didn't even want to come back to take a look. So why did he come back to inherit the family?
He didn't believe that there was no one left in the family, so he had no choice but to come back to inherit the inheritance.

Judging from the description of the heroic spirit, the previous head of the family wished that the family would never succeed.

If there was no one left in the family at that time, Wu Shuang estimated that the other party would be happy to see no successor in the family, unless there was some reason why he was forced to come back and inherit the family.

After that, not leaving any descendants may be the last resistance of the previous head of the family to this forced inheritance.

I just didn't expect that an illegitimate daughter would appear in the end.

Thinking of this, Wu Shuang tried to ask the doubts in his heart and made corresponding reasoning.

"Did the previous head of the family come back to inherit the family after the Hunter's Guild was destroyed? You said he hated this family, so why did he want to inherit? If the Von Hohenfels family was on good terms with the Hunter's Guild, Then you should have done something before, right?

Is that related to the fact that the previous head of the family will come back to inherit the family? "

Upon hearing this question, Kuhn gradually put away his proud expression, and turned to look at him with a scrutinizing look.

Wu Shuang faced this gaze calmly.The heroic spirit that had materialized showed its appearance in life.

This knight named Kuhn is a middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples. He is not very tall and has some inconspicuous wrinkles on his face. He has neatly combed brown hair and a lush beard around his mouth. , looks polite and expressionless face, revealing a unique stubbornness and old-fashioned temperament after a long period of time.

More like a steward of an ancient family than he is.

After a long silence, Kuhn finally let out a long sigh and said quite helplessly:
"I can see that you are quite curious about the past of this family. I have to admit that you always observe things in such detail. But I am sorry that I cannot tell you these things. As a knight of the family, I must Keeping the family’s past a secret.”

"clear."

Wu Shuang did not continue to ask further questions.

After these knights stated that they wanted to keep the secret, it was obvious that they would not answer again.

And from this, many problems can also be seen.

For example, the Von Hohenfels family once participated in the destruction of the Hunters Guild, and did certain things that forced the previous head of the family to come back to inherit the family, or to reach an agreement with the previous head of the family.

Maybe it was to save the Hunter Guild, but in the end it failed, and the previous head of the family had no choice but to come back and inherit the family according to the agreement.

But there are also darker conjectures, that is, during the destruction of the Hunter Guild, the von Hohenfels family chose to sit back and watch on the condition that the life of the previous head of the family be saved, and in exchange, if the previous head of the family wants to survive, You have to come back and inherit the family.

I don’t know if this is the secret that needs to be discovered in the commission.

Wu Shuang thought silently in his heart, put on a careless smile on his face, and changed the topic.

"Do you have any plans for the next attack?"

Speaking of this, the heroic spirit became more serious and said seriously: "The enemy may come at any time, and the scope of the manor is very large, and there are many directions and routes that can be attacked. We are seriously short of manpower."

"Didn't you say that after Miss Sophie holds the inheritance ceremony, there will be protective measures?"

"Indeed, but it is not a difficult problem to solve for the extraordinary ones who dare to attack. At most, it will cause some obstacles and provide us with early warning. This will be a hard battle. We cannot take care of you, even There is no way to ensure the integrity of this estate, so I suggest you leave.”

Kuhn was quite sincere when he said this.

Obviously prepared for the worst.

However, Wu Shuang remained calm, and the reason why he was so calm was simple.

"It's okay. Didn't you infer before that someone deliberately pushed Miss Sophie out to inherit this family? That person must have some purpose, and now, that person has not achieved the goal he wanted, and he will definitely Find a way to ensure Miss Sophie’s safety.”

After hearing this, Kuhn was speechless for a long time. He could not place his hope on some unknown reasoning, but this could be considered a more or less comfort.
Just when he was about to let the mortal in front of him stay in the room safely, he saw him put on his gloves, waved his hands carelessly, turned around and left, leaving behind a few words.

"Leave the door to me."

Looking at the tall back, Kuhn couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that the other person was always so confident, and wanted to stubbornly take on everything from beginning to end, believing that he could take care of everyone.

What an arrogant guy
Wu Shuang walked to the foyer, opened the heavy wooden door, looked out at the quiet garden at night, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

This family is so interesting.

No matter what happened to the previous head of the family, or the current head of the family, they are all full of people's desire to explore.

However, this time the temptation can only go so far.

Fortunately, the commission did not require him to find out anything, so the inferences he made and the things he learned were barely acceptable.

But he still has to ensure Sophie's safety, because he still wants to find out things about the family.

Although the Knight Heroic Spirit said it should be kept secret.

But what if this head of the family wants to explore the past?

Wu Shuang gradually stopped smiling, closed his eyes, and quietly felt the pressure of the coming rain.

The stage has been set up and is waiting for the audience to take their seats.
