Hollow Knight: Hallownest

(Double update, readers please start reading from the previous chapter)

The hunter's eyes suddenly stopped looking at the log and became weird.

"You want to kill someone?"

"Yes."

"...You crushed the token I gave you, didn't you want me to kill it for you?"

The hunter was a little confused. If it was just to kill people, why did he call him here? In the previous battle between the two, he was the loser. If the person he wanted to kill was troublesome even for Mo Rong himself, he was probably the same. Unbeatable.

Mo Rong shook his head, recalling the last time he almost killed the Soul Master, Lu Ryan suddenly fell from the sky.

If he acted rashly, the result would probably not be too different, and after the last attack, the Soul Sanctuary must have been even more tightly defended, so he needed the help of hunters.

"I can handle the people I want to kill myself."

"So what I need you to do is not kill someone, but help me stop someone."

"Stop someone?"

The hunter was a little confused, and Mo Rong asked:

"Do you know who is the strongest person in this city?"

"It's the person on the high tower, right? I felt that powerful power as soon as I entered the city. To be honest, there are only a few people in this city that I can take notice of, and so does he. one of them."

"I didn't expect you to actually know, that's good, it saves me the trouble of explaining."

"So the person you want me to stop is him?"

The hunter picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one breath.

"Tsk...this nerve-numbing thing is quite comfortable to drink once in a while."

"Yes, the target of the assassination plan this time has already escaped one of my attacks, and the failure that time was due to his intervention."

"So I want you to help me stop him no matter what this time."

"It won't take long, just hold on until I kill the target of the plan. Once the plan is completed, you can escape unscathed and I will bear the consequences."

The hunter smashed his mouth, then reached out to take a glass of wine from the table of the drunkard who had just escaped, and drank it all in one gulp.

"A hunter never hunts prey that is beyond his ability. Facing him, I am not sure."

"But I will give it my all. Leave it to me. This is a hunter's promise."

Mo Rong left his seat and walked to the door. He called the proprietress back to the bar and asked her, "Proprietress, how many Geo will it cost if I want to book this pub for one night?"

"Well...it doesn't take much, just two hundred Geo."

Although the landlady didn't understand what Morong meant by asking this question, she still answered him truthfully.

"You just entered the city and haven't found a place to live."

"I?"

The hunter pointed at himself, looking confused.

"As a hunter, strong survival skills are a must. It doesn't make any difference to me where I live."

After hearing this, Murong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that if he didn't arrange a place for the hunter to live, he might have to sleep on the street at night.

He wanted to take the hunter to live in Ida's room, but the hunter was too big.

"There are patrols here at night. You'd better give up the idea of ​​sleeping outside. I don't want you to be driven out of the city before the plan is implemented."

"Tsk, that's really troublesome. Those lazy bugs have no fewer rules than us hunters."

"Lady boss, this is three hundred euros. Can you see if I can rent this for the person next to me to live in?"

The landlady pushed back one hundred Geo, her expression unchanged. If you look closely, she only showed curiosity about the hunter.

"Of course, no problem. Brother Champion, can you tell me about your relationship?"

The landlady glanced at the two of them and whispered to Mo Rong, fearing that he would misunderstand before she hurriedly explained.

"I'm really curious about this person who, in my impression, only existed in stories."

"There's nothing to say. He's a better hunter than me, that's all."

The hunter's words were as calm as a pool of stagnant water, as if he was just explaining an ordinary thing, but the amount of information contained in this sentence brought a big impact to the boss's wife.

Before she went out to explore, she had always believed that hunters were fictional. However, as she continued to travel around Hallownest and heard more and more news, the image of hunters continued to form in her mind.

Severe, cold-blooded, and violent.

The most important thing is his strength. She has heard from other explorers that almost no one can escape the hunter. You can imagine how powerful he is.

The landlady looked at Mo Rong, who was sitting next to the hunter, and her eyes changed a lot again.

The gold content of the championship in the trial is naturally not low, but if you want to compare the hunter's impressiveness, unless he is the first champion.

But there was no winner in the first trial.

It is really rare to be able to maintain such an approachable attitude while possessing such great strength.

"Boss lady, don't listen to his nonsense, I'm just a draw with him."

Mo Rong waved his hand and smiled, but the landlady's expression did not change at all. She thought it was because he was being modest. After putting away Gio, he turned around and went inside to bring two glasses of wine to the two of them, and then left the tavern.

"By the way, you haven't mentioned the target of this assassination yet."

"You will naturally see it tomorrow."

......

"Let me go! What are you going to do?!"

Wusi slowly woke up and found that he was tied in front of a complex instrument. The surrounding environment was dim, and only the eyes that looked at him were flickering with greed.

"This experimental subject may have crystals that are completely different from the last one."

"Yes, I don't know what kind of surprise this experimental subject will bring to the master."

"If possible, I really want to ask the master for more. The feeling of having power is so wonderful, it is really fascinating."

As the scholars talked, they approached Wusi, and his figure gradually emerged from the darkness.

Wusi's eyes widened instantly. He found that the people in front of him were suspended in the air, surrounded by a shining yellow ball of light.

"Who are you! What do you want to do by catching me... Ugh!"

Wusi's arms suddenly tingled, and he felt as if a needle as thick as a finger had been inserted into it. Then an even stronger pain came. He looked towards the tubes connected to the instruments, and what was flowing in them was actually Dark void matter, and at the end of those pipes, there is a jar as tall as a person, already filled with void matter.

"This experimental subject is much more stable than the previous one, at least it's not full of swear words."

"It's really insulting to gentlemen."

Listening to the words of the people in front of him, he was not the first person to suffer such torture, and if it was a member of his clan, it must be the long-lost third uncle.

Now it seemed that something unexpected had happened to his third uncle. Thinking of this, Wusi's mood began to fluctuate violently.

"What did you do to Third Uncle?!"
