Time passed day by day.
Dean's scattering skills were getting more and more proficient. He was able to quickly pull out arrows and shoot at four targets at the same time. From the first time he learned scattering to the present, it only took him half a month.
The young instructor was very happy to see Dean's amazing progress. Then he continued to teach Dean other hunter skills. They were 'lurking', 'tracking', and 'crossbow'.
'Lurking' included how to eliminate the sound of one's movements, cover up the smell, and quickly change positions.
In addition to using undead powder to cover up the smell outside the giant wall, he also needed to rely on himself. After all, some monsters liked to hunt undead. If he blindly smeared undead powder, it would be courting death. At this time, he needed to use other things to cover up the smell. These things included plant juice, rotten mud, crushed insect corpses mixed with soil or vines and so on.
'Tracking' was based on footprints, movement traces of the monster, and so on to determine the monster's whereabouts. This was a knowledge lesson. After all, not all hunters had perceptual magic marks.
'Crossbow' was only used when hunting large monsters or destroying a demon's nest. According to the young instructor, a beginner hunter only needed to master one of 'Bow' and 'Crossbow'. When an intermediate hunter became an intermediate hunter, they would learn 'Heavy Crossbow'. Once they mastered the 'Heavy Crossbow', their damage would increase by several times, and they would also have the ability to fight in close combat.
Once the enemy was close, they could use the heavy crossbow to shoot them back to gain more time to attack.
After all, the essence of a hunter was the control of distance!
"If there is enough distance, then there will be enough opportunity to attack!" This was what the young instructor repeatedly emphasized to Dudian, so that he would remember.
Dean studied seriously. He also realized that after three hundred years of development, the hunter profession within the giant wall had long been perfected. The division was extremely meticulous.
During the hunter training, Dean took the time to see Jura and her husband. He saw that they had moved to the new house in the commercial district and found their respective jobs in the small town. Jura worked eight hours a day in the medical center. Gray was the same. He worked in a tailor's shop in the small town. The income was stable and the work was very easy. It was much happier than the previous factory. He didn't have to work overtime every day. Occasionally he could take a vacation. Moreover, the salary was at least twice as much as before.
Dean saw that their lives had stabilized, so he was no longer worried.
A month later, he took the time to return to the slums and found Barton and Kroen. After not seeing each other for a long time, they had found a remote abandoned factory. Because it was too remote and desolate, they did not have to spend money to buy it. Instead, they bought a batch of building materials and cleaned the abandoned factory. They repaired the walls and many broken workbenches.
Dean thought that they had gone their separate ways after such a long time. He didn't expect that they were still busy with the things he had told them. He was touched and trusted them more.
"Here are a hundred gold coins." The main purpose of Dean's return was to let them collect materials. "This is the list of materials. You can buy them and pile them up here. The quantity is written on it."
Barton and others looked at the big bag of gold coins in Dean's hand. Their eyes lit up as they swallowed their saliva. Barton said: "D-Dean, where did you get this money? How come you have so much?"
"I risked my life to get it. How else could I get it?" Dean smiled.
Barton and the others glanced at each other, thinking that he was right. Kroen's face turned red as he looked at the list: "Dean, there are some words that we don't know."
Dean thought for a moment and said: "Well, you should study first. Once you know more words, you can drop out of school and work for me."
"But the tuition …" Barton hesitated.
Kroen touched him.
Dean laughed: "Of course I will pay for the tuition. I will leave the money with you and you can distribute it among yourselves."
Although 100 gold coins was a large number but it was nothing for him. Moreover, he wanted to quickly cultivate Barton and others. First of all, he wanted them to have the ability to manage money and restrain their desire for money.
If they had run away with 100 gold coins, Dean could have withdrawn early.
Hearing Dean's words, several people's eyes lit up with excitement.
Barton was happy but hesitated: "It's a lot of money. If we lose it … This …"
"It depends on your ability." Dudian laughed.
They looked at each other with a solemn expression.
After lunch, Dean went back to the commercial district by car. In his heart, there was still some worry. Although Barton and others were alert and clever, but they were too young and needed to be cultivated. At the same time, he had to prepare a way out for himself.
In addition to the daily and boring hunter training, Dean would go to the magistrate once a month to avoid being disqualified as a trainee.
Dean would see Jenny every time he went to the magistrate. Every time he chatted with this girl, Dean would feel very good. It was as if he had found another version of himself. He found that Jenny was completely different from other noble girls. She was not snobbish at all, and her character was very easy-going. From hobbies to ideals, they talked about almost everything.
Dean came to the magistrate more often. Sometimes he would come three to four times a month or even more.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed.
Dean came out of the magistrate's office on Pus Avenue. He looked at the gray sky. It was the black snow season so the air was particularly cold. The particles in the thick radioactive clouds blocked the sun. Even during the daytime, the weather was gray. From time to time, black snowflakes would fall on the houses and the streets. The passersby were scared and hurried to avoid them.
Black snow was the same as the disaster rain. It was an existence that people avoided.
"The wind outside is so strong!" Jenny, who came out from the back, tightened her woolen coat, and her rosy cheeks immediately faded a little.
Dean saw her pale face and felt sorry for her. He took off his coat and put it on her shoulders. He asked, "Are you still cold?"
Jenny was a little anxious and quickly said, "Put it on quickly, you'll freeze."
"I'm not cold." Dean smiled and felt warm in his heart.
"You are a liar!" Jenny bit her lower lip. There was a layer of mist in her eyes. She said: "The last time it rained, you covered me from the rain but you got wet. The result was that you got sick the next day."
Dean froze for a moment. He didn't expect her to remember this matter. It was three months ago. It was the black death season. The temperature was extremely high and there was very little rain. That day was Jenny's vacation day. The two had an appointment to go out to play, but it suddenly rained. He didn't expect that with his physique, he would catch a cold. It could be seen that even if he had the physique of a hunter, he would have to retreat in the face of the rain.
"Why are you so good to me?" Jenny grabbed Dean's clothes and looked up at him.
Dean looked at her sparkling eyes. His heart was warm. He couldn't help but say: "Because I like you!" After that, he felt his heartbeat stop. The whole world seemed to be quiet in an instant. He couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in his heart. But he was more nervous and looking forward to it.
Jenny didn't expect Dean to suddenly confess. She was stunned for a moment. Her cheeks suddenly turned crimson. She lowered her head and whispered: "I like you too."
Dean's hearing was very good. He felt as if his brain was going to explode. Endless joy rushed into his mind. His blood seemed to be boiling. He felt that the cold wind outside was as warm as the spring breeze. He was surprised: "Really?"
Jenny saw Dean's excited and happy appearance. Her cheeks became redder, but she didn't avoid it. She softly said: "Yes."
Dean suddenly felt unprecedented happiness. It was as if he was surrounded by the whole world. He held the girl tightly in his arms and smelled the faint fragrance of her hair. His heart was full of emotions.
After a long time, the two separated.
"I'll send you back." Dean said happily.
Jenny's face was still red. She gently nodded.
Dean looked at the carriage and knights waiting for Jenny in the distance. There was a trace of a smile in his eyes: "But we have to take a detour." Then he took Jenny's hand and went around to the side to sneak away.
Jenny's face became redder. She closely followed him.
That night, Dean sent Jenny to the front of the castle. He waited for her to enter the castle before returning to his residence. He was excited along the way. He couldn't wait to punch a few times in the carriage or immediately find a bow and arrow to shoot thousands of arrows.
Half a month later.
Jenny was sorting out books in the library of the magistrate in Phillips Avenue. This was her job as a trainee priest. Dean was also here, standing on the ladder, helping her to sort the books and put them on the bookshelf.
After sorting out the books, Dean went down the ladder and whispered to Jenny: "I have a surprise for you. Close your eyes first."
"Huh?" Jenny was puzzled. But seeing Dean's smiling face, she slowly closed her eyes. Her eyelashes trembled slightly. She looked very beautiful under the faint beam of light.
Dean took out something from his pocket and put it in front of her eyes: "You can open your eyes now."
Jenny opened her eyes and saw a jade bracelet. She was pleasantly surprised: "How do you know that I like jade?"
"You mentioned it two months ago." Dudian laughed.
Jenny took the jade bracelet. Her body slightly trembled as she heard Dean's words. She tiptoed and quickly kissed Dean's cheek.
Dean was stunned. He covered his face. His heart was pounding and his blood was pumping.
Jenny blushed and lowered her head.
Dean excitedly looked at her. He was about to hug her when his face suddenly changed. He hurriedly said: "Someone is coming."
Jenny was also shocked. She quickly put away the bracelet and turned around to quickly sort out the books.
Dean grabbed the ladder and adjusted the angle.
After a moment, a young priest came and looked at Dean and Jenny: "Do you know where the 'History of the Slave Law' is?"
Dean raised his hand and pointed: "It's on that shelf."
"Oh, thanks." The young man turned his head, took a look, and casually said before leaving.
Dean and Jenny looked at each other and snickered.
…
…
Burong family's castle.
One of them was a very spacious and luxurious room. There were two rows of tall bookshelves filled with books. There were some antique porcelain and carvings next to them. There were rare oil paintings on the wall. At the moment a middle-aged figure was sitting on the sofa. He was holding a book in his hand. He looked at the middle-aged butler in front of him: "I heard that Miss has been very close to a trainee priest recently?"
The middle-aged butler heard the dull tone of his voice. He was a little scared: "Yes, Master."
"Go and investigate the background of that person." The middle-aged figure indifferently said.
"Yes." The middle-aged butler quickly complied.
…
…
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
Dudian stood on the side of the street, patiently waiting for Moss's arrival. Suddenly, a familiar smell floated into his nose. His eyes lit up.
After a moment, he saw an exquisite carriage coming from the end of the street and stopped in front of Dean.
Jenny jumped out of the carriage and threw herself into Dean's arms. She happily said: "I have good news for you. Do you want to hear it?"
Dean held her body and laughed: "What's the good news?"
"It's a great thing!" Jenny blinked her eyes. She couldn't suppress the excitement on her face: "My father agreed to let us be together."
"Agreed?" Dean was surprised. When Jenny's father knew that he and Jenny were together, he sent people to make him leave. They threatened him and tempted him with a lot of money. But Dean didn't agree.
Because of his identity as a trainee priest, the other side didn't use brutal means. Later on, the matter was left unsettled.
Now after so long, the other side agreed?
Looking at Dean's skeptical expression, Jenny nodded: "My father said that he refused you before not because you are a civilian, but because he was worried that you are useless. You can't be a priest or a hunter. So he said that this time he will personally arrange a hunting task for you. If you can complete it, he will agree to let us be together!"
"Personally arrange a hunting task for me?" Dean slightly frowned. His heart felt a trace of unease. His identity as a hunter had long been known by the other side. If he didn't have the protection of a trainee priest, it was estimated that he would have been forcibly separated by the other side.
Jenny saw Dean's worried expression and laughed: "You can rest assured that my father said that he will never arrange a task that is too difficult for you. But I don't know the specific task. If you think it is difficult, you can tell me. If my father is deliberately making things difficult for you, hum, see if I don't find him to settle accounts! "
"Well." Dean nodded. He hoped so.
