The World is Sick

Kevin looked at the shining sword hunter badge in his hand, feeling a little churn in his heart, and couldn't help leaning forward to inquire.

"Mr. Ludwig, in the Star Clock Tower, I heard that you are the number one hunter, and Geman is also the number one hunter. So who is more powerful?"

"In terms of fighting skills, I will win; if he fights freely with no restrictions on means, he is stronger."

It has to be said that the old donkey is an honest person, and he frankly told Kevin the results of his and German's many discussions and deduction.

But people have emotions, likes and dislikes, and Kevin caught a trace of displeasure pouring out of Ludwig's eyes.

He immediately understood that the paladin was obviously not satisfied with Geman's bottomless way of winning in the death battle.

After all, only an upright decisive battle can convince the old donkey to lose.

"Then, what about prestige?"

"I am only responsible to the church. He is the number one hunter who controls the entire Star Clock Tower, what do you think?"

Ludwig glanced at Kevin because of someone's excellent ability to lift the pot without opening it, and his voice became a little more depressed.

Kevin carefully looked at the shining sword hunter badge in his hand, with a playful expression.

"Then how do you know, teacher, Geman will definitely betray your face?"

Immediately, while Ludwig was stunned, the man sighed melancholy, put the badge on his chest with one hand, bowed to salute, and then stepped back respectfully, ready to turn around and leave.

"It's just a mission. You followed Maria out of good intentions and wanted to repay your kindness."

"Besides, my recommendation combined with your ability, after joining, this action is almost guaranteed to be foolproof. What reason does he have to refuse?"

Ludwig stopped Kevin in a deep voice, his eyebrows slightly gathered.

Kevin, who opened the door half way, turned around slowly. The half of the cheek was bathed in the sun and the other half was hidden in the shadow, showing a bit of imperceptible banter.

"How about we make a bet?"

----------------

"I don't need to mention this matter, I don't agree!"

In the dim office, wearing a black top hat, with a stern face and a vicissitudes of life, the first hunter glanced at Kevin Le, and mercilessly rejected the request.

At the same time, the old hunter casually threw the earnest application letter aside.

Even if there is an old friend Ludwig's signature guarantee on it, it still can't let the selfless and stern face of the first hunter have some waves.

This kid actually guessed it?

Standing in the shadow, Ludwig walked out slowly, and glanced in surprise at the good apprentice who was sitting on the chair, looking at his nose and looking at his heart.

Then, the suspicious paladin stepped forward and couldn't help asking Geman, who had worked with him for many years, why.

"An outsider with a suspicious appearance is not qualified to participate in this secret operation."

Gehman dropped his quill into the inkwell, for seemingly unassailable reasons.

However, the paladin who likes to be more serious, but sternly proves himself for the apprentice.

"These are not problems. In terms of xinxing, I can guarantee it!"

"Besides, logically speaking, Maria is also a foreigner."

Geman's brows were tightly knit together, appearing more and more impatient.

"He has only been training for a few days? Did he go to make trouble?"

"You don't have to worry about this, I know the level of my apprentice..."

Ludwig glanced at Kevin, who was like a good baby, and didn't back down. He was quite proud, and his expression changed from being relaxed and casual at the beginning to becoming more inexplicably solemn and serious.

Old friends for many years, this trust should still be there, and I will never block people for verbal reasons.

But Geman's current reaction was too extreme, as if he was deliberately targeting this kid.

Although Ludwig himself couldn't guess Geman's thoughts, the strange atmosphere inside made the paladin a little more vigilant.

He and Geman's personal relationship is personal, but they belong to different factions, and there are naturally some differences in philosophy.

My church is loyal and firmly believes in the teachings of Archbishop Lawrence, hoping to spread the light of healing to a wider area and benefit more and more people.

Geman belonged to the traditional old hunter faction, and Birkenworth College was their biggest employer. Master William's words were obviously more influential.

Unfortunately, one of the leaders on both sides advocated blood therapy, and the other demanded to stay away from and respect the blood of the ancient god.

Previously, Maria was in charge of the Innsmouth exploration mission alone, and Ludwig agreed without hesitation, but now he had to think more.

But in a stalemate for a while, the old friends were unwilling to say more, and the other had doubts and refused to give in to each other. In the end, they could only adopt the common ruling method among hunter groups.

Ten breaths later, the old hunter German walked out of the empty cathedral with a gloomy expression.

Maria, who followed closely behind, first cast a bitter glance at a certain figure in the crack of the door, then opened her mouth, speechless, and followed the pace of the old hunter in shame.

Inside the house, Ludwig pulled up the imitation moonlight sword inserted into the wooden board on the ground, threw it to Kevin, and responded angrily.

"You won, get ready and go to the avenue outside the city to gather in the afternoon."

"Mr. Ludwig taught us well..."

Kevin lowered his head and thanked him humbly.

"Don't! I can't stand it!"

Ludwig couldn't help snorting coldly, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

"I didn't teach you to take the initiative to meet Maria's blade, and use the little girl's kindness to distract her from her moves."

"Moreover, throwing weapons and drawing muskets at close range is simply a disgrace to knights!"

With an innocent face, Kevin muttered without any shame.

"Before I started, I just wanted to be an old hunter and use firearms full-time."

"Besides, times have changed, my lord."

"We can win as long as we can. Even in terms of skills, Maria is not my opponent, and this is the fastest way for both sides to be harmless."

"Besides, when Mr. Geman was fighting to the death with you, he might not be so polite, right?"

Ludwig recalled the few free fights in which he won less and lost more, and was immediately speechless.

Geman also doesn't talk about martial arts. This old boy has used his rich experience in wild survival to attack him by starvation, hiding in the grass, or setting traps.

Even, this bastard actually did the immoral things of throwing poisonous mushrooms in his pot and using herbs to poison the weapon.

Therefore, Ludwig seemed very aggrieved every time whether he won or lost.

In fact, speaking of it this way, the wicked apprentice in front of him can be regarded as avenging him.

Alas, this stinky boy has indeed entered the wrong profession. He belongs to the same class as Geman, but Maria should inherit my chivalry.

Ludwig's eyes were melancholy, and he regretted being unkind, so he couldn't help admonishing him earnestly.

"I said, you should respect ladies and talk about martial arts."

"Teacher, it is precisely because Senior Sister Maria is so easy to be fooled that I dare not let her go to Innsmouth alone."

At this moment, Kevin, who was standing by the window and bathed in the sun, looked solemn.

Chapter 1191 Chapter [-] The Epitaph of the Noble Man

Ludwig was a little surprised when he heard the words, thought for a moment, and took a deep look at Kevin, with a bit of understanding in his eyes.

In the previous battle, although this guy was suspected of playing tricks, he also exposed Maria's own problems at a deep level.

Her heart is too soft, and she is easily used and deceived.

But the trip to Innsmouth was full of ominous mystery and gloom, and even Ludwig couldn't judge what Mariavin would face through various vague reports.

Therefore, it is very necessary to bring Kevin, a guy full of intrigues.

At least, this kid can guarantee that Maria will not be fooled so easily.

From these small details, it can be seen that Kevin's grasp of people's hearts is more in-depth and meticulous.

Speaking of grasping people's hearts, the paladin couldn't help frowning slightly.

"How do you know Geman will refuse you to cooperate with the mission? Did you offend him?"

"It should be, but I don't know the reason..."

Kevin scratched his head, his face was a little helpless and confused, but deep in his eyes, there was clarity.

Of course he knew why he had offended Geman, and he even knew his intention of entrusting Maria to explore Innsmouth alone.

Judging from his language, clothing and action habits, this old hunter's character belongs to the kind of superior person who is confident, strong, arrogant, and has a strong desire to control.

And Kevin's arrival touched the "flower of the bright tree" he carefully cultivated.

Kevin saw from his insightful eyes that Geman's blood was more than twice as heavy as that of Ludwig. He was already addicted to killing, but he was still confident that he could control that power.

This pride, and further thirst for blood, lead Geman not to allow Maria to have a weak personality called "goodness".

He hopes that Maria can keep up with his footsteps, and that this seedling grows according to his plan.

Therefore, this silly girl going to Innsmouth alone is going through a test of bearing blood and abandoning kindness.

But the place of Innsmouth brought an ominous premonition to Kevin. He was worried that Maria was alone, so that something happened that made him regret it.

However, since the goal has been achieved, it is inconvenient for Kevin to say more about these secret matters.

After all, most of it is his speculation, and his friendship with Ludwig has not yet reached the point of criticizing his good friend German's character behind his back.

After another promise and another guarantee, Kevin finally appeased Ludwig.

Before leaving, the paladin actually replaced the counterfeit in Kevin's hand with his own Moonlight Holy Sword.

Kevin clenched the cold scabbard tightly, pursed his lips, and couldn't help murmuring

"Teacher, why do you trust me so much?"

"I have never seen such a clear and noble sword intent, I think your heart should be like this."

Ludwig stepped forward and patted Kevin on the shoulder, with some certainty in his low tone.

"The beast disaster is getting worse and worse. It's dangerous outside. Be careful."
