Lord of the Continent [Western Fantasy]

"After discussion in the parliament, we unanimously approved the appointment of Herax as the new president of the Demon Hunting Association, and donated precious supplies to the association. We hope that your association can get on the right track as soon as possible."

———Oppas Country Royal House of Representatives.

Putting away the yellowed sheepskin scroll, the young witch hunter breathed a sigh of relief, and when everything was settled, King Opas finally compromised and recognized the witcher association she had reorganized.

After killing Cardinal Ahaz and the priest, Herax returned to the City of Sighs. Sure enough, the Church of Light sent people to investigate the accident, but they had no clue.

Hercules did not arouse any suspicion from the other party. The church could not find any clues, so it had to leave first. The entire country of Opas fell into the fear of being dominated by dark forces, especially the top leaders of the major organizations, who were always in fear.

Rumors and gossip permeated this impoverished country, making the situation of the royal family of Opas even worse. Even the Demon Hunt Association, which is good at hunting dark creatures, became turbulent inside.

Some association executives even believe that this country has been cursed by black witchcraft. Not only is it barren and backward, monsters are rampant, and now even the great Church of Light has encountered accidents here. This is enough to prove that the horror legends that have been handed down to this day are not groundless. .

Under the cover of the chaotic background, Herax began to act secretly. In less than a month, she used her nightmare power to quickly assassinate several high-level officials in the association who deserved to die.

All of a sudden, the Demon Hunting Association became the target of public criticism, and the rumor that the Demon Hunting Association was the next target of the dark forces' sniping spread like wildfire in the streets and alleys of Opas Country.

Seeing this, and then contacting the accident that happened before, the rest of the top executives in the association couldn't help feeling chills and sweating behind their backs, so they resigned from their current positions one after another. They would rather be ordinary civilians and give up their rights than become a rancid Breath of blood.

This is really scary!

Let those stupid and bold people lead this damn association!

The chain reaction was like dominoes, which happened overnight, and the entire association suddenly became an empty shell.

At this moment of desperation, Herax stood up and led a small number of demon hunters who supported her, shouting slogans, claiming to take the initiative to challenge the evil forces hidden in the dark, to save the Demon Hunter Association and the country of Opas. .

As the elders died and fled, more and more demon hunters began to admire Herax's courage.

They are about to lose their source of income. If the Demon Hunting Association disintegrates and ceases to exist, then demon hunting activities will become private employment, which will not bring stable remuneration at all, and will make the already miserable life even more difficult.

But Heracles was not afraid of death, and through active organization, a new Demon Hunting Association was soon established, and it was able to operate in an orderly manner again.

Most of the demon hunters were very grateful for this, so they collectively elected Herax as the new president, but the royal family of Opas and the ministers were reluctant to admit this brand new demon hunting association that had changed its appearance inexplicably.

They are all skeptical about this, the change happened so quickly, coincidentally, but they could not find any evidence.

In the face of strong public opinion, King Opas had no choice but to issue this letter of appointment to Heracles.

Putting down the scroll, Herax stretched her waist long, showing a sneer of victory, and came to the task receiving place of the new association.

Seeing Hercules' sudden arrival, the girl in charge of reception at the task office immediately stood up straight and said nervously and respectfully, "Hello, President Hercules."

Hercules hummed, and ordered: "Call out the list of supplies needed by the newly recruited alchemist."

"Yes, Mr. President," the girl said, "Please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

The girl manipulated the crystal screen, and after a while, a dense list was displayed on it, arranged in a row in the form of demon hunting tasks.

The poisonous weeds and flowers growing in the orc territory, the dark biological organs used to make various props...Herax lowered her eyes, checked one by one, and then noticed two SS-level tasks.

The heart of the undead banshee, the silk thread of the lich wooden puppet.

The undead banshee is a monster with a human head and a bird body that mutated from a human woman who died in the ancient town of Yongye. She is good at attacking enemies with ultrasonic waves and poisonous claws.

Alchemists use their hearts, combined with specific herbs, to refine top-level props, which can allow ordinary humans to have extraordinary abilities without changing or damaging their original appearance.

Liches are evolved from a small number of necromancers. Through continuous practice, they completely abandon their bodies and turn into soul states, so as to achieve the goal of immortality.

This group of liches hid in the depths of Yongye Ancient Town, attached to puppet toys, and relied on bewitching the minds of their prey to make them their own.

Although these monsters are not powerful, those scary dolls and puppet toys with strange shapes will make many demon hunters feel uncomfortable. For many years, no one has been willing to challenge the lich wooden puppets, so for their bewitching witchcraft, There is no way to understand.

Judging from the time, these two tasks have been released for a long time, but no one cares about them so far, which shows how difficult they are. Even the top demon hunters form a team, it is difficult to complete, and even the slightest mistake will result in death.

During the process of rectifying the Witcher Association, Herax once found two undead banshee hearts from the warehouse, one of which had been damaged by the alchemist in the experiment, and only one was preserved intact and shelved.

"Why is the heart of the undead banshee in the mission?" Herax thought of this, and asked in confusion: "Isn't there still one left? This thing is not just needed by the alchemist, right?"

The girl explained: "The alchemists have said that they have developed new spells, and it is possible to create unique props, which can provide a better survival guarantee for apprentice demon hunters, but more banshee hearts are needed for experiments. There isn't enough one in stock."

"Survival Guarantee..."

After a short thought, Hercules immediately made a decision and took on the two tasks without hesitation, and at the same time explained: "I will not appear in the association for the next few days, and the vice president will manage it on my behalf. Remember to tell him, If there are troublemakers who come to provoke, they will be arrested and detained immediately, and they will be dealt with when I come back."

The girl nodded, but her expression was full of worry, and she whispered: "Master President, don't you need to form a team? If you are alone..."

"I'm enough alone!" Herax said coldly.

As the new president of the association, Herax's leadership ability is obvious to all, but most demon hunters are still skeptical about her combat effectiveness, especially male demon hunters.

She is a woman after all!

In the consensus of mankind, women are doomed to be weaker than men, and are more suitable for assisting and treating in battle. Therefore, Herax urgently needs to establish her prestige so that all members of the association can see that she is the one who stands at the pinnacle of hunting demons. , is well-deserved to be the chairman!

The girl didn't dare to say any more, Herax thought for a while, and emphasized: "The New Witcher Association has been accepted by the royal family. If any member says that we are not genuine, then please spit out all the supplies he received before. Get out of the city of sighs, and find another way of life elsewhere!"

"Understood, the president will grow up." The girl said seriously.

Hercules nodded in satisfaction, put on her old felt hat, and left the Witcher Association quickly.

On the way to Eternal Night Ancient Town, the communication stone carried by Herax suddenly lit up, and she connected immediately, and the voice of Nasod, the president of the Alchemy Association, came from the other end.

"Herax, are you a crazy woman?" Nasod shouted, "Do you feel that your life is too long to receive two SS-level missions alone?"

"President, please don't worry." Herax said casually, "I will not die easily until I get the supplies for you to benefit the Demon Hunter Association. By the way, how are the preparations for the construction of the statue? gone?"

Hearing this, Nasod was taken aback briefly, and asked back, "Are you serious?"

"What?" Hercules said displeased, "I heard you say that, but you didn't do anything?"

Nasod was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Herax, I am sincerely for your own good. I am not sure whether others know about it, but I know very well that the removal incidents of the Demon Hunt Association cannot be separated from you!"

Hercules was not surprised. After all, Nasod is not an ordinary person, and many things cannot be hidden from his spells. Fortunately, the alchemist is neutral, so he pretended not to know about it, otherwise she would not Save the other party's life.

"Well...you know." Hercules said indifferently, "So? What do you want to say to me? Or do you want to threaten me?"

"You are such a lunatic!" Nasod said speechlessly, "I don't bother to care about your crap! I just want to remind you that although you have the ability to do whatever you want, you can't do it too much. What does it mean to build a statue? ? That will shake the prestige of the God of Light in Opus!"

"God of Light?"

Herax raised her hand, and the black mist containing neurotoxin loomed in her hand, and said mockingly: "The Church of Light is all ostentatious idiots, as a genius alchemist, don't you believe in the door of truth, but believe in that light?" god?"

"Don't say that, President Hercules." Nasod said earnestly, "The door of truth is the belief I have pursued all my life. I just have some scruples because of the status of the Church of Light in the human kingdom."

"It doesn't matter!" Herax laughed, "If the President is really in trouble, I am willing to give up the City of Sighs and build the statue elsewhere. Anyway, this will not affect my spreading His teachings in Opas."

"What's the difference!" Nasod said madly, "Forget it, I can help with the statue, but if the church pursues this matter, I hope you can settle it."

"No problem, I will bear all the consequences." After finishing speaking, Herax turned off the communication stone and continued rushing towards the destination without stopping.
