Oring Hunter

Chapter 0182 Mission Guild

Hearing Wei Meng's sudden change of tone, Yechen and Ouke were silent at this moment, looking at him calmly, waiting for Wei Meng to give a further explanation.

"My mother and younger sister are currently undergoing treatment in a sanatorium in a distant city-state, but they are only going through the lowest level of medical procedures, and the fundamental reason why I aspire to become an Olympian hunter is to make money so that they can enjoy the highest standard of treatment Means...Because my mother's condition has deteriorated recently, I want to improve their situation as soon as possible, but I don't have enough money now..."

Hearing this, Ou Ke blinked, and surmised in a soft tone: "So, do you want to borrow medical expenses from us?"

Wei Meng was startled, then nodded with embarrassment.

"Yes...you are the number one and number two in the college's evaluation list, so the college must have provided you with scholarships, right? So... so... please, please lend me the money! Wait for me later After receiving the entrusted reward, I will return it to you as soon as possible!"

Ye Chen had known about Wei Meng's situation for a long time, so when he heard him bring up this topic, he didn't look surprised. He just asked calmly, "So, how much do you need?"

Wei Meng hesitated for a while, and finally gave the answer: "I'm only four gold coins short, and I can give my family a whole month's top-level nursing treatment..."

After hearing this, Yechen nodded and looked at Oke again, naturally asking if she would like to help.

Unexpectedly, Oke, who didn't have a good relationship with Wei Meng, agreed with a smile.

"Okay, I have no objection at all. After all, we might all be wiped out in the first mission. It's better to spend money as soon as possible while you're alive~"

Hearing Oke's wording, Wei Meng's expression changed to half surprised and half disappointed, and he could only pray in his heart that while Oke was helping him, the prophecy would also come true by the way...

So, next, Yechen and Oke took out two gold coins from their respective hunter black rings, and handed them to Wei Meng in turn.

Wei Meng took the gold coin, and then thanked the two with a gesture almost moved to tears: "Thank you two big brothers, this kindness, I, Wei Meng, will definitely repay it with my life when I have the opportunity in the future—!"

After finishing speaking, he jumped up from the table and chair, claiming that he would go to the post office on the lower level of Hunter's Peak, and send the medical expenses he had raised for a long time to his mother and sister who were far away in the Holy Light Sanatorium.

"Family... how nice..." Ou Ke looked at Wei Meng's back in a hurry and muttered to herself, then she looked at Ye Chen beside her and asked curiously: "By the way, Ye Chen, are you Suggest me to ask, how about your family?"

Yechen put the cutlery on the empty plate, with a flat face, and replied without any concealment: "They were all killed by the abyss."

Oke, who heard about this for the first time, was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "That's it... sorry..."

However, she then spoke to herself in a voice that Ye Chen could not hear.

"But at least there was, wasn't it?"

Ye Chen didn't notice the rare strange expression on Oke's face, but reacted very calmly: "It's okay, it's all in the past."

Ou Jianye started to pack up the dinner plates on the table, and suddenly changed the subject again: "By the way, since we are going to carry out the commission together tomorrow morning, why don't you go to the nearby Hunter's Bazaar to buy supplies in the maze, such as food?" Props such as drinking water, firewood, tents, etc., after all, it is the first mission, so they must be fully prepared."

"Yes." Ye Chen nodded.

In fact, he already planned to go directly to purchase mission materials after dinner, and Ouke didn't invite Yechen, so he would complete these things by himself in the future.

So the two of them bought the necessary aids for traveling the maze together.

Since technologies such as "space access" will be affected by madness in the maze, the heavier the material storage, the easier it is to cause the subspace to collapse, so the amount of items carried by the hunter's black ring is actually limited in the maze.

And this restriction is closely related to the level of the caster who casts the universal arcane art of "space access".

Double nightmare sensors like Yechen and Oke are allowed to store items in the hunter's black ring in the maze. It will disappear into an unknown dimension along with the subspace, and will never return.

Therefore, in terms of purchasing materials, they must choose carefully, neither too little nor too much.

……

The next morning, Yechen, who had enjoyed a good night's sleep, washed up and had a simple breakfast. Then, facing the contour mirror in his bedroom, he changed into a bright and pure black windbreaker, shirt, trousers, etc. Hunter uniform three-piece set.

Of course, Yechen even put on his gold-patterned black armor on the inside of the shirt, so as to provide some protection for his life.

Next, Yechen checked the communicator and the blood collection device for abnormalities, and then counted the number of food, drinking water, firewood, sleeping blankets, bullets, steel wires and other props stored in the hunter's black ring.

However, after everything was ready, Yechen did not leave in a hurry, but took out a stack of lists from the document bag distributed to him by the hunting group, and quickly reviewed them.

This is the list of wanted hunters who betrayed the hunting group and disappeared in the labyrinth.

There are a total of 54 people recorded on the wanted list, all of whom were former Olympian hunters.Different crimes made them bear different bounties.The headshot of the person who is now at the top of the most wanted list is a young man with a thin complexion and pale complexion.

[Issue 1930 - Butcher Hunter - Jetis Corgi]

[Crime: brutally massacred many civilians and many knights in the Holy Light Pure Land, brutally massacred many fellow hunters in the Olympian Labyrinth]

[Nightmare Realm: Fourth Layer]

[Bounty: 300 gold coins (whether dead or alive)]

After browsing this wanted list for the first time, Yechen had a little impression of the code name of butcher hunter. I have been to this name.

Moreover, Yechen felt a little strange that this butcher hunter was a hunter in the 1930s. Calculated, the traitor of the hunting group must be at least 100 years old, but in the photos uploaded by the hunting group, he looks so young , so to speak, this person disappeared in the maze a long time ago, but he is still able to make trouble, which is a bit too weird...

In addition, Yechen could feel an inexplicable discord from this photo, but he couldn't deduce the source of this discord, nor did he know what it was about.

Forget it, keep it in your heart first...

Quadruple nightmare sensor, obviously not at the level that I can handle now...

I hope I won't encounter it in this mission...

After Ye Chen thought about it, he quickly reviewed the information of the people on the wanted list, and then stored it in his hunter black ring, and walked out of Fengzhu apartment with the crescent moon arc knife and hand cannon revolver hanging on his weapon belt The gate, formally stepping into the mission guild located in the center of the hunter entrusted area.

Stepping into the interior of the guild, a bright crystal chandelier and a tiled floor painted with patterns are the first to appear in front of Yechen.

However, this place is not a hall with countless reception counters as he imagined, but more like a mini maze divided by countless court rooms, and the roads between the court rooms are not spacious.

According to the instructions of the assistant staff at the entrance of the guild, Yechen went to the No. 22 entrustment departure room to which he belonged, stretched out his hand and opened the door, and walked into a room that was neither wide nor narrow.

The contents of the room are very simple. A round table with simple tea, four pairs of exquisitely crafted armchairs, and an old man in a white robe sitting on one of the armchairs are all of its contents.

Ye Chen and the old man looked at each other, knowing the other party's identity very well in his heart, it was the teleportation priest sent by the Holy Light Church to assist the Olympian hunter in the maze task, and then briefly greeted the old man.

The old man nodded silently. Seeing that the other party did not intend to talk in detail, Ye Chen also sat on the other side of the round table with interest, waiting for the arrival of other fellow hunters.

Not long after, Oke and Wei Meng also entered the entrusted departure room on the 22nd, and sat on the left and right sides of Yechen.

However, seeing that it was already nine o'clock when they set off, only the last senior, code-named Yanyun Hunter, still showed no sign of arriving.

Chapter 0183 Novices and Veterans

Yechen and his party waited for a long time in the departure hall on the 22nd, but no one made a sound. In the end, the old teleportation priest who had been sitting quietly couldn't sit still. Report the late arrival of the last hunter.

However, just as he pushed open the door, another figure just happened to walk outside the door, had a sudden face-to-face encounter with the teleportation priest, and blocked his way at the same time.

It was a man wearing the same three-piece suit of shawl, liner, and trousers as Ye Chen, Oke, and Wei Meng. He was about 35 years old, with long messy hair and a scattered beard. Slag, with a look of sleepiness in his eyes, and a thick smell of smoke all over his body.

If the conspicuous hunter uniform did not exist on this person, most people would definitely regard him as a sloppy smoker that can be seen everywhere in the night market in Hunter Town.

The teleportation priest saw the middle-aged man standing in front of him, and said coldly with an old face full of anger: "There is nothing trivial about the hunter's commission, but why are you still late? I will report your behavior to the guild."

After hearing this, the smoky man replied indifferently to the old priest, "It's okay, I will resign from the hunting group after completing this entrustment."

Faced with the man's unwavering answer, the teleportation priest was at a loss for words and remained silent for a while. In the end, he had no choice but to give up and ordered the man to say hello to the three novice hunters on the round table, and then he would cast "Holy Light" "Gate", teleporting everyone to the starting point of this mission.

The smoky man walked away from the teleportation priest indifferently. While rubbing his sleepy eyes, he glanced at the three young hunters waiting for him in turn.

When he saw Yechen and Wei Meng, the smoke-smelling man's eyes did not fluctuate, and there was even a hint of distaste. It was slightly brightened, as if slightly touched by Ouke's beautiful facial features.

"I am the veteran responsible for leading you on this mission, Dodilla the Smoke Hunter, well, newcomers, let me introduce myself from left to right." Dodira sat on the opposite side of the three of them, and said straight to the point gave instructions.

Facing the senior in front of him who was about to make the first hunter commission with him, Wei Meng replied in a somewhat uneasy tone: "I am Wei Meng, code-named Rat Lord Hunter."

Yechen calmly stated to Dodilla with a blank face: "Bloodsmith Hunter, Yechen."

At the end, Oke maintained her trademark faint smile, and answered a few simple words like Yechen: "Sakura-haired hunter, Oke."

Knowing the names of each member of the team, Dodilla nodded with a lazy and lazy expression, and looked like he was not motivated, which made all three people present feel vaguely surprised.

The teleportation priest cleared his throat, and then announced.

"Okay, the time was a few minutes later than expected. Now that you have finished your introductions, I will now send you to the western border of the Pure Land. If there is anything that needs to be discussed, let's talk about it when we get there."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, he walked to the stone platform inside the departure room, which was specially built for the priests to cast spells. The holy light circle was carved out early, and then he made a prayer gesture embracing the holy light, and at the same time chanted in a low voice. Started a series of obscure recitations.

After he made these actions, countless pure white holy light energy gushed out from the teleportation priest in the form of countless filaments, and began to quickly fill the lines of the magic circle on the surface of the stone platform.

When the lines of the magic circle were completely filled with the power of the holy light, a bright gate was condensed and formed in front of the eyes of the four Olympian hunters, and it opened its arms, presenting the withered and yellow wasteland scene inside the gate to the hunters. .

Yechen looked at the formed "Gate of Holy Light" and took a breath. No matter how many times he looked at it, this holy light technique derived from the power of holy light still looked shocking...

It's a pity that there doesn't seem to be such a convenient and fast means of transmission for the Arcane Art in the field of Arcane Power. Otherwise, the Church of the Holy Light would not have to send a large number of priests who are responsible for teleportation to the Hunter's Peak to help the hunters .

"Okay, let's set off now."

As the most experienced Olympian hunter in the team, Dodilla spoke first, and then stepped into the "Gate of Holy Light", followed by Yechen, Oke, and Wei Meng.

With the closing and dissipating of the "Gate of Holy Light", the four Orion Hunters temporarily moved away from the Hunter Peak. The teleportation priest looked at the suddenly empty stone platform in front of him, stayed there for a while, and finally Drawing a four-pointed star on his chest with his fingers, he prayed for the itinerary of Yechen and his party, and then left the departure room No. 22.

……

When Yechen's soles stepped on the unfamiliar soil, there was a vast wilderness covered with withered yellow grass, the overlapping brown-red mountains at the end of the wilderness, and the land between the wilderness and the mountains. Then, the village houses that wafted from the cooking smoke came into Yechen's eyes one by one.

The young man couldn't help taking a sip of the fresh air of nature, staring at the village glowing with life in the distance for a while, guessing that it was the place where the entrustment happened, turning his gaze back, and immediately found a piece of wood on the nearby ground. A strange ashlar exuding the color of holy light.

Yechen understands that this is the medium facility, the teleportation stone, which is used by the Holy Light technique to locate the teleportation point, and the reason why it is placed in this wilderness is obviously deliberately done by someone. of.

Ye Chen looked behind the strange square stone, and saw several holy light knights wearing heavy armor and holding weapons, staring at them, the Olympian hunters who flew from thousands of miles away, with restless eyes them.

The title of these Holy Light Knights in the church is Border Knights. As the name suggests, their main duty is to guard the borders of the Holy Light Pure Land and maintain the order of the territories adjacent to the Pure Land and the Labyrinth.

Among the border knights, the leading male knight, who seemed to be about the same age as Dodilla, asked everyone with a serious expression: "You are late for a full five minutes."

However, Dodira didn't take the Holy Light Knight's dissatisfaction to heart at all, and just perfunctoryly explained to the other party in a casual tone.

"Something happened in the middle, but since we are all here now, it doesn't make sense for you to continue to pursue these. Come back to the topic quickly."

Chapter 0184 Resurrection of Corpse

While Dodilla, the smoke hunter, was discussing the commission with the leader of the border knights, Yechen's eyes stayed for a long time behind the ranks of the holy light knights, the high wall made of pure white steel.

This high steel wall is actually a barrier, straddling Yechen's left and right ends of the sky and the earth.

The young man who had fully expanded his knowledge and experience at the Hunter College knew in his heart that the barrier standing in front of him was called the Great Wall of Light, and it could be described as a miracle.

Its greatness lies in its ability to embrace the Holy Light Pure Land with a total area of ​​about 300 million square kilometers in its arms in a ring-shaped structure. No matter where it is, it is plains, wasteland, rivers, or even deep seas. The high steel wall can always cross it safely, and finally connect this end to the other end to form a ring, and it has survived the wind and rain for tens of millions of years.

Buildings of this level are naturally impossible to come from the hands of human beings. They are miracles cast by the holy god Angrinuonde himself, and outside the Great Wall of Holy Light is Paul's myriad of heaven and earth, the strange and unpredictable mystical spirit. The labyrinth, the reason why the Holy Spirit built such a magnificent Great Wall is precisely as a dividing line between the Holy Light Pure Land and the Arcane Labyrinth, and at the same time provide a place for residence and defense for the Holy Light Knights stationed on the border.

And if the Olympian hunters want to go to the maze to perform tasks, they must pass through the gate of the Great Wall of Holy Light with the permission of the Holy Light Knight's teaching every time.

It was the first time for both Yechen and Wei Meng to see the miracle of the Great Wall of Light with their own eyes, so they recognized God for a while, but Ou Ke didn't show obvious surprise to it, as if he had already understood it. The majestic style of the Great Wall of Light.

Feeling secretly for a moment, Ye Chen focused on the conversation led by Dodilla and the Holy Light Knight.

From it, Yechen was able to further understand the strangeness of this wilderness.

It turns out that there are certain conditions for the resurrection of corpses in Huangshi Village, that is, the bones of the deceased buried in the soil must be in the condition of completely rotten flesh and blood, leaving only a skeleton left behind in the maze. The strange ringing in the body urges the resurrection to wake up, and with the help of an unknown force, it digs out of the ground with the posture of reassembling and connecting the skeleton.

And the first thing these revived skeletons did was not to harm the residents of Huangshi Village, but to follow the guidance of the bell and go to the Great Wall of Holy Light in an orderly manner, trying to pass through this holy land of holy light and the mystery. The dividing line between the mazes of the spirits, reaching the source of the bell in the maze.

It's just that none of them can get out of the barrier of the Great Wall of Light.

Because the holy light knights stationed on the Great Wall, once they saw these mutated bones, they couldn't help but blast them to pieces with the power of the holy light.

However, even if the Holy Light Knight was able to eradicate the threat of the corpse, the strange bell that originated from outside the Great Wall and inside the maze would still ring again from time to time.

If you want to completely isolate this ringing sound, then you can only solve it by entering the interior of the Arcane Labyrinth to explore the source of the ringing sound. Therefore, the Austrian Spirit Hunters like Yechen who are proficient in exploring the labyrinth will be summoned here.

Yechen thought for a while, and then stepped forward to ask the Holy Light Knight who was in charge of this border: "Is there any characteristic of the frequency of this strange bell that originated from the inside of the maze? Is there a fixed interval pattern?"

The other party paused for a while, and replied in a blank tone: "The time when the bell rang for the first time was late at night the day before yesterday, and through the observations of the past three days, we did not find any regularity. It sometimes only rings after a few hours. Once, sometimes every few minutes."

Unexpectedly, just after the leader of the Holy Light Knight finished speaking, the originally empty and quiet atmosphere of the wilderness was immediately shattered by a bell ringing from the outside of the Great Wall of Holy Light.

ding... ding... ding...

Hearing this sudden abnormal noise, the expressions of the four Olympian hunters instantly became alert.

Among them, Yechen pressed his left and right palms between the handle of the knife and the handle of the gun swiftly, as if he was ready for an attack at any time.

However, compared with the vigilant hunters, the stationed knights seemed calm and composed, and the leader immediately gave an explanation to Yechen and his party in a calm tone.

"It is this bell that summons the bones of humans and domestic animals from the soil, but in the past three days, all the bones of creatures that can be resurrected in this area have been wiped out by our knights, so even if the bell rings now It won't have any effect, so don't be nervous."

Hearing what the knight said, the four of them withdrew their vigilant expressions.

Yechen let go of the hands that were pressing on the handle of the weapon, and began to listen carefully to the strange ringing sound that resounded through the wilderness.
