The strongest magician who started as a hunter.

Chapter 6
On the street near the port on Dolly Island,
You closed your eyes and quickly walked through the dense crowd relying on your six eyes to sense the surrounding atmosphere.

He had not forgotten the "advice" given by the captain earlier.

In such a crowded place, close your eyes so as not to attract the attention of some pervert hidden in the crowd.

……

Because of the characteristics of the "six eyes", You can be extremely sensitive to the difference in breath between people and objects, and thus distinguish the shape and other properties of things.

The effect shown in the eyes, except for the difference in color, is basically the same as the picture seen when the eyes are open.

Even if your vision is obscured by smoke from a fire extinguisher, your vision will not be affected.

……

At this moment, You looked up at the cedar trees on the top of the mountain in the distance and fell into deep thought...

Although the information given by the captain was consistent with what Xiaojie and others received when they took the exam, he did not doubt the captain's good intentions.

"Perhaps it's because the two monsters living on the top of the mountain are the regular examiners of the hunter exam."

You secretly guessed.

Of course, it may also be because this is not a formal hunter exam, so it is not difficult.

The information given and the exam location are only changed every year, but the person responsible for the assessment will not change.

Just like the captain responsible for transporting candidates.

"However, the benefits of 'tangling' are greater than I imagined..."

You clearly felt that since practicing "Tao" on the boat for nearly an hour, the muscles and bones all over his body have become stronger, and his physical strength, endurance, energy, etc. have also been greatly improved.

In addition, he can use the "curse power" to strengthen his muscles and internal organs, which is equivalent to strengthening his strength and endurance for the second time.

When walking, every step is as fast as flying.

In the blink of an eye, we walked through the long road, and walked down the several-kilometer journey without even taking a breath.

After a while...

You then came to the fork at the end of the road. There was a signboard marking only two routes.

Among them, only one is the correct path to the assessment location.

To the left is the road to the fir trees, passing through a dangerous jungle filled with wild beasts;

On the right is the direction to the city, where there is a bus that goes directly to the assessment location.

"With this model of 'true information mixed with false information', I guess many people will fall into it..."

Under the premise of understanding the examination process in advance, even without the captain's prompting, You would not hesitate to rule out the seemingly correct option of "taking the bus".

It's just that it's different from the original assessment year.

He couldn't be sure that the direction of "cedar tree" was the answer to "this year". At most, he would only regard it as one of the options, wasting extra time and thoughts on excessive guessing.

After getting the captain's information, the thoughts in worry's mind suddenly became clear, thus saving a lot of time.

Next, there is no need to be too anxious.

"Goo~Goo~"

An embarrassing sound suddenly came out of You's stomach.

You clutched her stomach, silently complaining about her unsatisfactory stomach, and walked out of the crowd with a calm face.

"I haven't eaten anything for a day...and my head is a little dizzy."

"If you take the exam in this state, you might not be able to hold on halfway."

Worried about it, he put his hands into his trouser pockets and groped around, but he only found a few large-denomination banknotes with "Higuchi Ichiyo" printed on them, and a few coins.

These coins may also be used as metal materials to exchange for some odd money.

But those few banknotes left...

No matter how you think about it, you definitely can’t spend it in this world.

There is even a high probability that someone will say that he used "counterfeit money" and get beaten up.

Thinking of this, Youya put the banknotes and coins back into his pocket and couldn't help but sigh.

……

A kind old man who happened to be standing next to You heard his sigh.

Then he came closer and asked the sad-looking young man:

"Little guy, are you in any trouble?"

You Wensheng turned around and saw that the other person was an old man with a thin face and a bent back, holding a handful of leaflets in his hand.

Judging from his face, he doesn't look like a bad person.

"It's nothing..." he waved his hands with a sad smile. Before he could finish his words, his stomach let out an untimely wail again.

"Gu~gu~~"

For a while, both fell silent.

However, after this sound, the old man roughly understood what the young man was worried about at the moment.

Moreover, the old man looked at the young man with his eyes closed all the time, guessing that the young man must have a congenital eye disability, and couldn't help but feel pity for him.

"poor child……"

He took out a leaflet from his hand, stuffed it into You's hand, and said:
"My name is Maldo, and I own a noodle shop with my wife."

"If you don't mind, you can take this flyer and come to work at the noodle shop... Our family is short of manpower right now."

"Thank you."

You took the flyer smoothly and said:

"However, I am actually a candidate for the hunter exam...I am not here to find a job."

"hunter?"

Maldo was a little surprised:
"But...you are so young..."

"Don't look at me like this, but I actually have a lot of muscles on my body." You rolled up his sleeves, clenched his fists, and greeted:

"look!"

Maldo looked carefully...

Indeed, as the young man said, the muscle lines of his forearm were clearly visible under his white and tender skin.

Although he is nowhere near as strong as an adult man, he looks and feels extremely powerful.

Seeing this, Maldo also calmed down.

After all, as a resident of Dolly Island, he sees all kinds of candidates almost every year.

Not to mention a teenager who looks like this, even some famous serial murderers have dined in his restaurant.

In comparison, the white-haired boy was not that surprising.

"It's really a pity. Since you are a candidate, there is nothing you can do..." Maldo looked regretful.

After a moment of silence, he thought about it and finally said:

"But you must be very hungry now. If you don't mind, would you like to come to the store for a bowl of noodles?
The shop is not far in front, so eating a bowl of noodles shouldn't affect your progress in the exam. "Facing Maldo's invitation, he was worried about his lack of money, so he shook his head and declined politely:

"Sorry, I don't have any money..."

"Just wash the dishes. Besides...it's just a bowl of noodles. It won't be too late to pay you back when you become a hunter."

After careful consideration, he accepted Maldo’s invitation:
"Then...thank you."

……

10 minutes later,

You followed Maldo through several alleys and entered a narrow noodle restaurant in a remote location.

In the store, both the countertops and the floor have been cleaned cleanly by the owner.

The color of the wooden sign with the name of the dish hanging on the side can also be seen from the traces of time.

However, the store was empty.

You didn't see the "wife" the old man mentioned earlier.

He glanced at Maldo who was busy in the kitchen calmly...

didn't say much.

……

In a moment, Maldo cooked the food himself and brought out a bowl of steaming noodles.

"This is our family's signature! Please use it slowly!"

You smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but praise:
"It's delicious!"

After saying that, he eagerly grabbed his chopsticks and wolfed down the noodles.

Seeing this, Maldo also smiled sincerely.

……

But I only ate for a few minutes.
You suddenly stopped using his chopsticks, straightened up with a solemn expression, and turned to look towards the door.

"what happened?"

Maldo was a little confused and asked.

"Someone is coming..." You's tone became a little gloomy,
"Moreover, they are still a group of guys with a very unfriendly atmosphere..."

next moment,
I saw four or five tall, strong men in black suits with fierce faces, each holding a metal crowbar and storming in menacingly.

The first man with short hair walked forward and looked at the environment in the house arrogantly:
"Hey! Old guy, you're finally back! I thought you were scared by us and ran away!"

"What are you doing here again? Didn't you just come here this morning?" Maldo walked out of the kitchen and protected You.

"Are they...?" You asked Maldo softly.

"Don't worry, this is between me and them."

It was also at this time that the short-haired man noticed the white-haired young man behind the old man. He leaned forward, raised his sunglasses slightly, and saw the young man's fair face clearly.

"Tsk tsk, he looks good." The short-haired man commented briefly, then stood up and asked Maldo:

"You're not planning to sell this kid to me to pay off some of the debt you owe, are you?
It's a good idea, but these days, children with disabilities can't be sold for a high price. "

"He is just my guest, what are you talking about!" Maldo was a little angry.

"Huh, guest?"

The short-haired man smiled and mocked: "I'm just a guest, not your grandson!

Let me tell you, it's because you haven't been able to recognize the reality that you were dragged down by that old woman to this point..."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Maldo clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

"Think about it, old guy." The short-haired man snorted and said in a deep voice:
“Sell this shabby shop, the money and land will belong to us, and I won’t trouble you again.

how is it? "

"you……"

Hearing this, a few veins popped out of Maldo's already old face, and the words were stuck in his throat.

……

Seeing this, You also roughly understood the situation.

Although the full story of the incident is not clear.

But just by looking at the unfinished bowl of noodles, his stance was decided.

"Leave it to me next."

You took the initiative to speak, then pressed down Maldo's arm in front of him and stepped out.

"It's none of your business…"

Maldo looked nervous. He was about to reach out and pull the boy's clothes, but found that his palm froze in mid-air when he got close to a certain distance.

There seems to be an invisible force.

He protected the young man and isolated his hands from him.

"It's very interesting..." the short-haired man smiled.

You ignored the other party, just turned his head and said a few words of unknown meaning to the old man behind him:

"Stand back, Mr. Maldo."

"The next movement may be a bit big..."

After saying that, You looked back ahead with a cold expression.

The black magic power surged through his body like a stream and gathered at the soles of his feet and fists.

Just as several men in black were preparing to watch the excitement with great interest.

The young man's figure was as fast as teleporting, and the distance of half a meter passed by in the blink of an eye.

And the moment he saw the fist coming towards his chest, even if the short-haired man realized something was wrong, it was already too late to resist.

"boom--!!!"

With this loud noise, the muscular body of the short-haired man flew out like a cannonball, directly smashing the glass door into pieces.

Several men in black watched as their boss flew past four or five meters, fell heavily to the ground, and then let out a series of shrill wails.

For a long time, no one dared to move or utter a syllable.

It was as if everyone was infected by a computer virus.

The machine was down in place.

You patted the dust on his body, glanced at the people in front of him, and said calmly:

"Next, come on together!"

After all, he hasn’t finished eating his noodles yet…
