"Do they have the strength to defeat the evil spirits now?" Dick asked again.

"It should be almost there. We have taught them swordsmanship these days, and they have also mastered the basic skills of crossbow shooting."

"Is that all? Don't they know how to use the seal?"

"Since these little guys have just transformed into demon hunters, they can't control the mana in their bodies at all. When you arrive at the [Elemental Ring], they will awaken the ability of the seal in their bodies."

Dick lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then asked again: "Only the five of them?"

"Five is already quite a lot." Master on the side snorted coldly: "I remember that the little demon hunters who participated in the Herb Trial of the Coyote School in the past two years did not survive. It stands to reason that their school has the highest success rate, but this time it is the other way around."

Dick did not respond to Master, but continued to look at Bell:

"But there are still some things I don't understand.

"Now there are only these few children. Since you have appointed four of us to accompany them in the trial, but during the trial, unless there is a major accident, we can only take action.

"Then what would be a major accident?"

"That is to say, if other more terrifying monsters appear when they are besieged by evil spirits, you need to kill them."

"Other than that, we can't take action." Dick added.

"Yes, our rules have always been like this for hundreds of years."

"Always like this?" Dick said in a low voice.

On the side, Russell felt Dick's mood change, and patted him on the shoulder, then smiled at Bell: "Then we will set off now, goodbye, everyone."

Then, the nine-member team set off, they did not ride horses, Russell and Harden led the way in front, the five little guys walked in the middle, and Raven and Dick walked at the end.

On the way, Raven asked: "Dick, you seem to have an opinion on the trial of the little demon hunter?"

"I always feel that this trial method is not good. As a guide and recorder, you won't write down my words, right?" Dick said jokingly.

"That's not the case. Can you tell me what's wrong with this actual combat trial?"

Dick didn't answer first, but asked: "Do you know evil ghosts?"

"Of course I know. Evil ghosts are short and similar to the little guys in front. They are a little smart, and some can even use weapons. Apart from that, they are not dangerous.

"I think that's why the Demon Hunter Cult uses evil ghosts as a means to test the little demon hunters."

"Is it really so? I once heard a saying that has been circulating among demon hunters for a long time, 'A single evil ghost is harmless, but five evil ghosts are extremely dangerous. If their number reaches ten, even experienced veteran demon hunters may die! '

"But now, these ordinary children have gone through a lot of hardships to become little demon hunters, and they haven't been taught many skills, so they are allowed to face the evil ghosts directly, regardless of their life or death. We are like witnesses. At that time, these children may be wiped out.

"We are not incapable of protecting them, why do we have to do this?"

"...Then what do you want to do? "Raven listened with a puzzled look.

"Don't worry about the others, but if Carter is in danger, I will take action."

"This is against the order of the Demon Hunter Cult." Raven chuckled, "I might report it truthfully at that time."

"Then I can't care so much. I saved him with great difficulty before, and I won't stop easily." Dick replied in a deep voice.

Raven was talking about something, and the small team in front of them suddenly became chaotic. The two hurried forward and saw that the youngest demon hunter among them was squatting on the ground, covering his face and crying.

The child looked only seven or eight years old and looked stupid.

"What's the matter?" Dick looked at Russell and Harden.

"I don't know, maybe he was scared." Russell recalled.

Seeing this, Dick also squatted down and said softly: "Little guy, what's wrong with you?"

"My name is Barry, not little guy. "

Dick comforted him again: "... Barry, don't cry, now you have become a demon hunter, how can you be afraid of demons? Remember, it should be the demons that are afraid of you."

"No, I'm scared." Barry put his hands down, revealing his red and swollen eyes, his voice was unclear, and there was a little baby sound, but his words were clear,

"My family was just killed by Cato, and I was sold here by human traffickers. Although I have become a demon hunter now, I know I am going to die. "

Hearing this, Dick knew that this child was also a pitiful fellow.

When Cato's soldiers were rampant, the remaining war orphans would not have an easy life. They would either starve to death or freeze to death, or be gathered together by the medieval human traffickers and then sold for some purpose:

They might be sold to the homes of wealthy merchants and nobles to serve as some kind of toys for them;

Some would have their hands and feet broken and join gangs of beggars to beg in big cities all day long;

Some might be sold to some evil warlocks to serve as experimental subjects;

They might even be sold to the Snake Cult as a "sacred" sacrifice;

The little guy in front of him was lucky enough to become a demon hunter.

Before he could sigh, he asked again: "Why do you think you will die?"

"There were 30 of us taking the Green Grass Trial at the time, and only four of us survived.

"Although I have learned some swordsmanship these days, I don't want to face monsters. I miss my father, and I miss my mother even more."

After that, he burst into tears again.

The child started crying again, and Dick was helpless. He had no children in his previous life, so he naturally didn't know how to deal with children's problems.

On the contrary, the cold Raven in the past showed a warm smile at this time, and took out some sugar-coated nuts from her waist bag, and handed them not only to the child squatting and crying, but also to the other children, including Carter.

Then, she gently held Barry on the ground in her arms, and didn't mind the child's snot being wiped on his clean and tidy clothes. She said softly to the little demon hunters:

"You guys must unite when you meet the evil ghosts. If anyone is in trouble, you must lend a hand in time. And with us here, you will not be in any danger of life."

The child in her arms raised his head and looked at the beautiful and gentle face in front of him. He couldn't help but feel relieved, and said timidly:

"Beautiful lady, are you telling the truth?"

"Do you think I will lie to you?"

"You are so beautiful, you will definitely not lie."

"That's good, eat candy, and then we will continue to set off. I guess we will be there soon."

"...Okay."

Then Barry shyly broke free from the arms of the sorceress, and cheered up and started walking forward with a few little demon hunters while talking and laughing.

It must be said that children's emotions come and go quickly.

Seeing this, Dick quietly gave Raven a thumbs up.

There were no accidents on the following journey. Soon, everyone stopped at a certain place. There was an open space in front of them.

There were no obstacles;

There were no monsters;

There was only a breeze blowing, bringing with it a foul smell.
