The elite team of demon hunters led by Hasse and the investigation team led by Hao Ren met in front of the family hall. As soon as the two sides met, everyone except Hao Ren and his team tensed up. Wayne and Hesperides remained calm on the surface, but the glow of magic began to appear in their hands. The demon hunters clenched their crossbows and sacred silver daggers. The atmosphere became tense in an instant.
Even though they had prepared themselves beforehand, they were mortal enemies for ten thousand years after all. This kind of reaction to battle as soon as they met was almost engraved in their bones, and it was not something that could be suppressed with some mental preparation.
As for Lily, who was waving the signboard around … she was ignored by everyone.
The young demon hunter instinctively raised his crossbow and aimed at the otherworldlings across the square. Wayne responded by baring his fangs. The atmosphere became tense. Vivian just looked at the two sides indifferently and nodded at Hasse from afar. "What, are you really going to fight? Have the demon hunters degenerated to the point where they can only think with their muscles? "
"Don't fight yet." Hasse raised his hand to stop his subordinates. He then nodded at Vivian. "Countess, long time no see."
The two 'leaders' — at least in the eyes of the demon hunters, Vivian was the leader — kept a distance and exchanged a few words. The atmosphere eased a little. The demon hunters maintained a high level of vigilance and slowly put down their weapons, but the Letta rune cards in their hands were still activated. The same was true for Wayne and Hesperides. Although they appeared to be peaceful, they were ready to fight at any time.
This was the maximum degree of restraint that the otherworldlings and demon hunters could maintain when they met face to face.
Vivian was satisfied with the situation. She smiled and said, "That's good. I don't want to see you guys fighting and killing each other all the time. It's been so many years. Isn't the hatred enough to kill each other?"
Most of the demon hunters looked at Vivian curiously. Some of them had only heard of the Countess of the Crimson Moon, but they had never seen her in person. Now that they saw the most ancient otherworldling ancestor in history, even the demon hunters, who had been taught to hate since childhood, could not help but look at her in awe. Hasse ignored the actions of his men. He, White Flame, and the dark-skinned bald man took a few steps forward. "I think we don't need to exchange pleasantries. Everyone knows what we are here for today. Do you have any suggestions? "
Vivian looked at the warriors that Hasse had brought along and said, "Let's move together."
Not only were the ordinary demon hunters in an uproar, but even Hasse and White Flame were a little surprised. "Together?" they asked in unison.
Vivian nodded solemnly to show that she was not joking. She then moved aside to reveal the family hall behind her. "You will know once you go in and have a look. This situation is different from anything you have dealt with before."
Hasse looked at Vivian, puzzled. He bowed his head and strode into the Ancattero family hall, followed by several master demon hunters.
A moment later, Hasse came out of the hall with his men. His face was as dark as a thundercloud. He waved his hand at the warriors outside, signaling them to calm down. Then he turned to Vivian and said, "Let's do as you say."
The demon hunters had different expressions on their faces when they heard their leader's decision. Some were surprised, some found it hard to accept, and some were at a loss. These demon hunters had been taught to hate the otherworldlings since they were young, and the strange phenomenon of innate hostility had infected every demon hunter since birth. There was no such thing as cooperating with the otherworldlings in their brain circuits. So, many demon hunters felt that Hasse's decision was a fantasy. But after the uproar, no demon hunter stood up to object. Hasse was the absolute leader of the team. As a highly respected elder demon hunter, he only needed to answer to the 12 most senior sages. When he was out in the field, his orders could be regarded as the decision of the highest council of elders. There was no doubt about it.
Vivian slightly tilted her head to the side. "Wayne, do you have any objections?"
Wayne exhaled, with a strange expression on his face. "I'm at your command. But … this is a rare experience. "
The group of demon hunters reluctantly walked with Hao Ren and his team. This was the strangest joint investigation team in history. Hao Ren had never thought that the atmosphere could be so weird. He felt goosebumps all over his body as he walked in the middle of the team. Everyone was alert, spying, hostile, and nervous, but no one dared to make the first move. It made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. And he was not the only one who felt this way. Even the demon hunters themselves were tense and livid. Hao Ren thought for a moment. The situation was a bit like a large group of people hugging a gas tank, and then they suddenly found that someone was going to have a smoke to calm down.
Lily was very sensitive to the atmosphere. She moved closer to Hao Ren, feeling uncomfortable. Her tail swelled up like a sword mound. "Mr. Landlord, they won't fight, will they?"
"I don't think so." Hao Ren glanced at Vivian and Hasse worriedly. "They seem to be able to control the situation."
As the investigators walked toward the family hall, Hesperides quietly came up to Hasse and said, "Long time no see. The last time was in Athens, right? "
Hasse had noticed Hesperides just now. White Flame and the bald man also knew about the hatred between the evening goddess and Hasse. So when Hesperides suddenly came up to him, both of them were nervous. Hasse's expression did not change. "Long time no see, Hesperides. Your injury … has healed? "
"We should thank a strange 'doctor'," Hesperides said faintly. There was no sadness or joy in her expression. "But you, it seems that you are still blind."
Hasse's eyes drifted slightly to Vivian, and he smiled a little self-deprecatingly. "It's an honor to be blinded by that person. I remember when you suddenly rushed out of the Athens' sanctuary like a madman. I was worried that you would do the same thing this time. "
Hesperides gently stroked the spot on her forehead where there used to be a hole in her head. No one could tell what she was thinking through her smile. "Heh, after taking out the arrowhead, it seems that even your personality has recovered."
Hasse's expression was indifferent. "It seems that I accidentally made a peaceful 'god' become tyrannical."
Hesperides looked at Hasse quietly for a while, her amber eyes glowing like dusk. No one knew what she was thinking, but in the end, she just nodded slightly and returned to Vivian's side as if nothing had happened.
Hasse maintained his cold and serious expression as usual, and the conversation just now seemed to have no effect on him.
The two enemies who had a deep hatred for each other had a casual conversation, but it made the onlookers break out in a cold sweat. After they retreated, Hao Ren was a little confused. He nudged Vivian and asked, "What do they mean?"
"'I still remember what you did in the past, but now the conditions are not right, so let's not fight.'"
"Oh, I understand now that you've translated it …"
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Although the tension between the demon hunters, Wayne, and Hesperides was unbearable, the tension subsided as they entered the hall. The bodies of the demon hunters in the hall distracted the warriors. They immediately went up to check the condition of each body, and soon someone identified a few important figures.
"This is Master Abaddon!" "Master Chloanne is over here!" "We found the body of Elder Marduk!"
The reports of the demon hunters could be heard everywhere. At this moment, they could not care less about the confrontation with Hao Ren and the rest. They were either checking the bodies, checking the magic residue in the hall, or checking the damage to the hall itself to deduce the course of the battle. The scene suddenly became busy and noisy. Although these demon hunters gave the impression of a group of stubborn and violent people, it had to be said that they were experts in this field.
At least, they were more professional than Hao Ren.
Vivian brought Hasse to the body of Amatura. "Do you know this? Is it Amatura? "
Hasse identified it and said, "Yes, it's him. Huh? He left this behind? "
His eyes fell on the message on the pillar next to Amatura.
