Blood of the Hunting God

"Why is the door open, Linda, Alisa, did you forget to close the door last night?"

Aunt Mona's voice suddenly sounded from downstairs, making Abby

Gail fell further into silence.

You must be notified!

Taking a deep breath, Abigail ran downstairs without hesitation.

puff-

"Wow!"

Then bumped into a figure.

"Abigail, don't run around in the hallway."

Compared with Aunt Mona, a middle-aged woman in her 40s named Linda, who is slightly obese, is another servant of the sustenance house.Originally, she was mainly responsible for meals and some housework, but she also took care of the children when Mona was busy.Unlike the strict Mona, Linda is a kind-hearted and gentle person. She is always very soft-hearted and takes good care of the children, even a little unreasonable request, as long as she acts like a baby, she will accommodate.

At this moment, Linda supported Abigail who accidentally bumped into her, and smiled softly at the girl.

"I, I... Aunt Linda, I want to go to Uncle William at the police station."

Abigail, who was anxious, said in a hurry without thinking too much at the moment, she just wanted to notify the town's security forces as soon as possible.

"Why are you looking for William? He's very busy. Okay, okay, let's have breakfast first."

Linda smiled and said, apparently not paying attention to what Abigail said, holding her hand and going downstairs.

"I know Uncle William is very busy, but this matter is really important. Yes, there are monsters attacking the town soon!"

Trying hard to break free from Aunt Linda's hand, but the other party was too strong to break free at all, and Abigail, who was a little anxious, could only speak.

"Ah, attacking the town, monster? Impossible, the security team patrols around the star god barrier every day, if something really pops up, you can find it right away."

Aunt Linda said with a smile indifferently.

"But that's it! Something is coming from the ground, and something is gathering on the surface, I know it!"

"How do you know? Did someone tell you that?"

"It's true, it's a human..."

"..."

"It was in my dream..."

"..."

"... Aunt Linda?"

The rotten skin of the face fell off slowly, and eyeballs squeezed out one after another, wriggling densely and randomly.

There was no sound in the quiet world, but the figure in front of him slowly turned his head.

"..."

……

Opening her eyes, Abigail yawned and got off the bed.

"Haoo, I fell asleep on Mr. Hunter's bed."

Feeling a little blushing and shy.

Hastily made the bed to make sure that it would not be seen, Abigail, who seemed to have done something shameful, breathed a sigh of relief, patted her little face, opened the door and came to the corridor.

Then subconsciously, he looked at the clean door panel.

Well, strange, why do you think there should be something here?

Moreover, why do you subconsciously feel that you should go to Uncle William?

Puzzled, Abigail walked downstairs following the noise of the children downstairs.

Chapter 94: Embers of the Old Gods

The hunter slowly opened his eyes.

The mental exhaustion quickly disappeared, and the consciousness entered a state of concentration. The hunter who was lying on the ground with a weapon and clothes in his hands quickly got up from the ground, blinked, looked around vigilantly, and yawned when he saw Disma, Tardive who was arranging weapons, and Solal who was sitting on the ground meditating, relaxed a little.

Now is the fifth day since their group left Starry Sky Town.

It was also their second day exploring the abandoned castle.

At this moment, the four of them have arrived at the fifth floor of the Castle of Lusse. According to the results of speculation and calculation, there should be two to three floors above, and then they will reach the towers on both sides of the castle.To be precise, it is one side, because the area where some of the towers are located has collapsed and turned into a pile of ruins.

If the strange existence of the land of souls is not lying, they should be able to find the so-called king of Lusa City on the tower.

"Let's go, we still have a long way to go."

Having said that, Disma took a sip of water and stood up first.

Slightly, you can notice the dark circles around Desma's eyes, which can be said to be very obvious.

Even hunters who don't care much about the people around them can gradually feel that Disma's mood is not very stable.

I'm anxious, I'm restless.

Is it because the whole day of searching yesterday failed to find the [Goddess' Blessing]?

The hunter could feel the vague worry in the emotions of the experienced hunter in front of him.

"Don't make yourself too tired, there are still many places that have not been explored ahead, maybe what we need will be inside."

Tardiff patted Disma's shoulder at this moment, and said earnestly.

"...Well, I know, don't worry."

Disma nodded and said with a smile, it seems that there is no big problem.

Speaking of which, I don't know what's going on with Abigail.

At this moment, the hunter who was following thoughtfully looked at the window beside him, seeing the gloomy sky outside the window.

They are fighting monsters here, constantly searching for useful materials and treasures, far away from the starry sky town that belongs to the human world, so what are the girls doing in the town so far away at this moment?Did you eat and sleep on time, and did you keep yourself safe and not cause trouble?

Well, Abigail is still very obedient, and shouldn't cause any trouble.

The hunter who thought this way followed the team ahead, and the four of them continued to walk among the dark castle ruins.

The sound of gunfire, the sound of thunder, the scene of fire, and the cold reflection of swords.

The wailing monster fell to the ground, oozing dirty blood, unable to stand up again.

And the hunter stepped over the corpses of these ugly things and continued to move forward.

"This seems to be the ruins of a workshop?"

After kicking open a half-destroyed door, Disma said, covering his mouth and nose to avoid dust interference.

"Tuigui, it looks really good, why did you move the workshop to the castle?"

Tardiff who stepped into it said in surprise.

"I'm afraid it's because of the unfavorable war and the continuous external fall. After the original workshop was occupied by filthy monsters, for the sake of safety, the workshop can only be moved to a place that those things can't get close to temporarily, that is, the castle. "

Solal thought for a while and gave a reasonable answer.

"..."

The hunter didn't say a word as usual, he just silently observed what was inside the door in front of him, what was the layout of the room, and was there any blind spot such as behind the door, behind the corner, or above the ceiling? The kind can hide a place where the enemy suddenly comes out.

The kind of ghostly place that seems to be safe, but as soon as you enter, you will immediately jump out and chase you for several kilometers. Hunters have a deep understanding.

But from the current point of view, this should not be a place where this type of threat will appear.

After confirming safety, the four of them slowly walked into the workshop in front of them.

It is said that the workshop is actually equivalent to ruins. Many areas have collapsed and been buried by gravel. Tools are scattered everywhere, and the tempered tool table has also been stained with rust. It is estimated that the corpses of craftsmen and soldiers fell to the ground in disarray.

"Look, there are a lot of unfinished weapons here. It seems that these guys were still forging weapons until the castle fell completely."

Tardiff took out several rough embryos of swords from a broken container that should have been a cooling pool, but was now dry.

"The craftsmanship of the Luce City period, unfortunately, has been completely lost now."

Solar, who shook his head regretfully, walked around the room, and then stopped suddenly.

Just now, I seemed to see something flickering.

The Sun Warrior turned back quickly, and found the inconspicuous little thing before, which was in a collapsed furnace, emitting a faint light that was hard to detect.

This thing is...

Reaching in and taking it out, the faint temperature is still very clear.

It seemed to be an orange flame wrapped in ashes that was still burning, but the temperature itself would not ignite anything, it just emitted a little spark, bringing warmth to people.

"There really is such a thing."

Not far away, Disma came over and looked at the little thing in Solal's hand with surprise.

"You know this thing?"

Tardiff also leaned over and asked curiously.

"Of course I do. Andre has read this stuff countless times. Ha, Hunter, it seems that you are very lucky."

Disma smiled, and turned to look at the hunter who was rummaging through boxes not far away.

Um, are you calling me?

The somewhat puzzled hunter looked over, and then noticed the little thing in Solal's hand.

Ashes of the Old Gods.

In the ancient age when the gods had not been polluted and degraded, they were blessed by the power of the gods and specially used to forge the embers of old god weapons.

One of two embers required to upgrade the Broken Greatsword held by the Hunter.

"I can actually find it in Lucerne City. Although there is only a small piece left, it must still be of great use."

Disma said so with a somewhat emotional expression, while Solal gave it to the hunter very generously, without any greed for the embers.

Bang!

Then, suddenly, a loud noise was heard from somewhere upstairs.

Chapter 95: Dry Rack

"What's that sound?!"

The sudden sound made the four heroes vigilant at the same time.

However, nothing seems to happen again.

The hunter and the others were on guard for a while, but they didn't see anything coming out to attack, or some kind of dark magic coming out of thin air to cause damage.In the quiet ruins, the shock just now was like a hallucination, without leaving the slightest trace.

"Damn, are you kidding me?"

Tardiff, who had been watching around for a while holding the hatchet, couldn't help but cursed.

Bang!

Another huge shock shocked Tardif, who was still scolding his mother just now, and quickly took a defensive posture again.

"There are

thing. "

Solar frowned at this moment and spoke.

"Then let's go up and see what is playing with us."

Startled by the two consecutive voices, Disma let out a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked forward with the gun in his hand.

This floor has been almost cleared, so there is no need to worry about being attacked by any monsters.The four kept their vigilance and proceeded carefully, and found the upward stairs under the light of the torches.As they moved forward, the huge sound appeared once or twice, and it seemed that with a certain frequency, the interval between the sounds was being amplified.

[■■■……]

In the darkness, there seemed to be some voices ringing.
