People in Mond, arrogant sun, not hated

After all, Geralt was hiding all these aspects from her, while Yura didn't know anything about her father's thoughts. This kind of contradiction could easily lead to disputes.

After thinking for a while, she spoke, and arranged a patrol mission for Yula far away from Longji Snow Mountain.

And Yura raised her eyebrows in surprise when she heard the mission target.

"Hasn't that area been inspected recently? It shouldn't be a new situation."

Qin lied slightly without changing her expression.

"Well, but recently some residents have reported that there are abnormalities there, so please investigate again."

"Yeah... that's fine."

Yura nodded without doubt.

"By the way, it feels like there are a lot fewer people in the knight order. Are you going to perform some mission?"

"Well... it's just a pre-implementation arrangement. It's a project that another team is in charge of. You don't need to worry about it, Yura. Let's go to the Cat Tail Tavern for a drink after work tonight."

"Oh, I didn't expect you to have the time and mood to drink. It's really rare."

The two chatted casually for a while, and then started to carry out their respective tasks.

But as a matter of course, she quickly led the team members to re-investigate the area of ​​Xingluo Lake, and found nothing except catching a little Keli who secretly fried fish.

A fairly ordinary end to a day's work.

So after the team canceled group activities for the time being, she went to patrol around the Longji Snow Mountain, which seemed a little suspicious recently, but she didn't find any suspicious people.

Except for a little hunter squatting on the hillside.

After all, this place can be regarded as a dangerous area, so Yura sighed and stepped forward to speak.

"You are... Timmy who usually sells pigeons at the bridge, what are you doing here?"

Seeing Yura approaching, Timmy was about to speak.

But as if he saw something, his expression suddenly changed, and he instantly set up the bow at a fairly smooth and proficient speed. Such sharp eyes and momentum even made Yula subconsciously take a defensive posture.

But naturally the bow and arrow could not be pointing at Yura, but the endless sky above.

Or a small black dot that just happened to fly over.

Yura slowly opened her eyes, that must be a hawk.

Is this kid trying to shoot down the eagle in the sky?With such a height and speed, even Amber, who is a scouting knight, should not be 100% sure of hitting the target.

but--

"It's a little slow."

She heard such murmurs.

No hesitation, no omission, no slack.

The loose hand tightly grasped the fleeting moment.

The arrow couldn't wait to fly out in an instant, and hit the black eagle's neck most accurately, causing it to fall straight down without even screaming.

After Timmy breathed a sigh of relief, he relaxed his tense body, looked at Yula passing by and said politely.

"You are sister Yula, the hero of the Spray Rider, right? I'm Timmy, are you disturbing your work?"

"No, no. But it's really powerful technology. I didn't expect you to have such a technology at such a young age."

After all, her master was the former Captain of the Scouting Cavaliers, and he was also a good bow user, so she knew a lot about it.

When Timmy heard this, he suddenly showed some strange expressions and shouted.

"If it was yesterday, it probably wouldn't be possible, but there has been a breakthrough recently. It feels much easier to shoot down the eagle than to shoot the pitifully small gap in the monster's body covered in steel armor in the imagination."

Yura raised her eyebrows.

Why is there some information in this child's words that she doesn't understand?

"Go and pick up your prey first, otherwise it will be taken away by Qiuqiu people or other wild beasts after a long time."

"OK, all right."

----------

And when he put the unlucky black eagle into his basket.

Yura finally spoke.

"This area is relatively dangerous. Although your bow skills are superb, it is not suitable for minors to come here to explore."

The surrounding area of ​​Longji Snow Mountain is not only some ordinary ferocious beasts, but also elemental creatures like Liaohua and young rock dragon lizards that are quite dangerous to ordinary people.

It's not a smart move for a kid to come here by himself... except for Claire.

And Yura seemed to think of something again, she opened her mouth and continued.

"Moreover, this place is closer to Liyue than other places, and the concentration of rock elements is higher. Although the probability should be very small, occasionally powerful monsters like rock dragon lizards and rock armor Qiuqiu kings will be born. It is said that they were born a few years ago. A hapless hunter died at the hand of King Qiuqiu, who was born suddenly all the time."

Originally, she wanted to use this real case to warn the child, but——

Timmy scratched his head in embarrassment, and interrupted her suddenly.

"Well, although I understand the truth, can you not use this example, that unlucky hunter...is my father."

ha?

Yula was in Bengbu all of a sudden.

A rare embarrassment appeared on his face.

After holding it in for a long time, she managed to utter a sentence.

"...Sorry, I didn't expect that."

Who knew it would be such a coincidence!

And the boy in front of him was no longer as preoccupied as his peers, and he was quite relieved about this aspect.

"I know sister, you didn't do it on purpose, so there's no need to feel guilty—or else, since it's dangerous around here, I have something to ask you, sister."

"what's up?"

There were some complicated emotions in Timmy's eyes, but he still chose to speak.

"Can you escort me to the place where my father died?"

Chapter 275: Children's Best Repayment to Parents

Three consecutive arrows flew towards the sky, easily hitting the three pigeons flying in a triangle shape in the air.

Looking at this extremely mature bow skill, Dulav, the hunter leader, applauded appreciatively.

"It's amazing, it's amazing! I didn't expect to be able to train to this level at this age. This kind of timing without hesitation is already better than most hunters in the town."

"Timmy, you might be able to try the official "Hunter Exam."

Timmy, who rolled up the pigeon and threw it into the basket, turned his head in surprise and said.

"Hunter assessment... what is that?"

"It is a ceremony that our Hunter Association in Qingquan Town has conducted for more than 200 years to distinguish talented hunters. Only underage hunters are eligible. On the day of the ceremony, only one bow and ten arrows are given to the tester. Bring enough prey back before dusk."

Timmy narrowed his eyes, sighed, stood up and moved his shoulders.

"Uh, it's like a fantasy novel, but is there really no loopholes in this kind of assessment model? What if the examiner cheats by buying materials in the market? I feel that the gold content is not high."

"Hahaha, you have a sharp mind, but you don't have to worry about this. We have a special inspection method. If there is a coward who really intends to opportunistically, then that guy will be looked down upon by all hunters."

Dulav seemed to be in a good mood as he talked.

"When your dad and I were young, we also took part in this test. Whoever had the highest level of prey in the final competition between me and him, unfortunately, was slightly bettered by that kid in the end."

It was rare to hear about his father's past, and Timmy stopped slightly.

"That's it, what did the old man and Uncle Duraff hunt for back then?"

"We were almost 16 at the time, that is, the age of adulthood, but we were also well-known hunting geniuses in the town. Most of the people usually acted in pairs, but that game happened when we were young. We also wanted to Compete with each other."

"In the end, I used traps and the environment to hunt down a strong adult male lion, and that guy shot down an eagle flying in the sky. The two were originally prey of the same level."

"But the latter has stricter requirements for archery, so three of the five voters voted for him in the end. Of course, I am definitely not convinced. Afterwards, we will continue to compete from time to time until that guy finds a wife. after."

They were all adults by then.

Looking back now, I am really emotional.

"The lion and the eagle... are these two the highest level?"

Timmy evaluated himself a little, and felt that he should be able to do it.

Go try it this afternoon.

"Although I really want to say yes, that's not enough. After all, this test is only aimed at young hunters who are talented but haven't fully grown up, so there are only two levels on it."

"It is also the dividing line between animals and monsters. The second-level ones include young rock dragon lizards, large slimes, and deceitful flowers, which are dangerous but barely within the range of monsters. But the first-level ones, unless they have the eyes of God, then Only the top hunters can hunt alone."

"Such as the rock dragon lizard, the core of the wind, and... King Qiuqiu."

As soon as I read the last three words, my original mood suddenly became a little lonely.

Timmy subconsciously clenched the bow and arrow in his hand.

"That...is the monster that caused father to die."

Dulav nodded, and said with a smile as if he wanted to drive away the current atmosphere.

"Don't think too much, monsters of those levels can only be dealt with by those who have the approval of the gods, we ordinary people should stay away from them, recognize our own abilities, and choose to retreat at critical moments is also an excellent quality of a hunter. "

He looked at Timmy with anticipation in his eyes.

"If it's you and Diona, maybe we can surpass us back then, pass on our unfulfilled dreams, and become the top hunters in the world."

And for every word he said now, Timmy didn't respond.

Because he doesn't agree with them.

Hunter is indeed his father's profession, but his ideal...is it really possible to be a hunter?This may be the beginning, but it will definitely not be the end.

Although Mr. Duraff is an excellent hunter and leader, he is still too confined in his thinking.

It was as if in his opinion, Diona didn't intend to take this path either.

But let's save those things for later.

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

Accompanied by Yula, Timmy finally came to this place of great significance to him.

Five years have passed, and there is naturally no trace left on this piece of land, and it is impossible to tell the difference from other ground at a glance.

However, the thought of that cold and dark rainy night.

My father was pierced high by the rock pillar and hung in the sky, blood and intestines kept falling down. Thinking of such a scene, even the mood that I thought was relieved suddenly boiled again.

clam down.

he said to himself.

Although there is no memory left, the body has remembered the feeling of fatal injuries countless times, and experienced the feeling of collapse countless times in the morning, but it is also not remembered, leaving only high-strength mental resistance.

"Are you okay Timmy?"

Yura looked at the underage child and spoke with some concern.

If the other party suddenly cried, then she would not know what to do.

"Well, it's nothing, I'm just here to muster up the courage to decide on one thing."

"Yes, are you interested in talking to me about it, what is it?"

Timmy picked up the horn of King Qiuqiu hanging on his waist, closed his eyes and then opened them to look at the blue sky.

"I've been thinking a lot lately that my dad did a lot for me and cared for me till the end but I couldn't do enough for him and he left before I could even say thank you .”

"So I've been thinking about what to do to repay a person who has passed away. Now in this place, I finally found the answer."

The boy's blue pupils reflected a clear light.

"I... want to [beyond] him! Prove that I don't need his worry anymore, I'm already stronger than him, and I won't be someone who has been protected all the time."
