"Hello, my name is Natalia Hill. You can call me Natalia," the female mage greeted us.
I was a little shy since I had never been so close to such a beautiful woman. I felt that the past few days had been the peak of my life. I was able to interact with beautiful girls like Avina and Natalia.
"My name is Ai Wena. You just attacked us. What do you want now?" Ai Wena saw that I was acting unnaturally, so she asked the female mage.
"I'm sorry. It was a misunderstanding. We had no choice but to attack an unknown person." Natalia looked apologetic.
Natalia's apology didn't satisfy Avina. I had no choice but to mediate between the two women.
"What happened here?" I asked.
I guessed that they had attacked us because something had happened here.
"It's a long story. Let's go to the base first." Natalia led us to the room where she had carried the Old Hissed. Avina and I followed Natalia into the room.
When we entered the room, it didn't feel any different from an ordinary house. Natalia walked to a wardrobe that was close to the wall. She placed something that looked like a badge in a groove on the wardrobe's door. The wardrobe's door opened, and Natalia walked in.
Avina and I walked over. We saw that the wardrobe was the entrance to a secret passage. We followed the stairs and entered the secret base.
This secret underground base was really big. It could accommodate at least a hundred people living underground.
The wardrobe's door closed automatically after we came down from the secret passage. First, we followed Natalia to a place that looked like a large hall. The light in the hall was dim, and it was lit by candles and torches on the walls.
"Welcome to the Demon Hunter's Blade's secret base. You're Lord Hissed's friends. That's why I brought you here." Natalia's attitude became more enthusiastic. It seemed she wanted to show us around.
"Where's the Old Hissed? Where did you take him? "I asked.
"Don't worry, Mayfair is treating him. She's the best Healer we have here. Hissed is the third-generation leader of our Demon Hunter's Blade. I care more about his safety than you do. "Natalia seemed to have read my mind, so I didn't say anything else.
Although the Old Hissed never mentioned this Demon Hunter's Blade to me, I believe that the Old Hissed's strength should not be a problem for him to become a mercenary leader.
Avina and I followed Natalia to tour the secret base. Natalia was in charge of explaining things to us.
First, we came to the training grounds, where a few mercenaries from the Demon Hunting Blade were training. The training grounds were divided into several areas. There was a crossbow training ground, a combat training ground, and a magic training ground. Next, we came to a small smithy, where a dwarf uncle was focused on forging weapons.
"His name is Ram Irondrill. If you need weapons or equipment in the future, you can look for him. His forging skills are very good."
Hearing Natalya's praise, Rahm stopped what he was doing and greeted us.
"Newcomers, if you need a good weapon, don't hesitate to tell me."
The dwarf uncle's appearance was very forthright. Obviously, he thought that Avina and I were new mercenaries.
After leaving the smithy, we visited Natalia's private magic laboratory. She told me and Natalia that if we were interested, she could teach us some magic. She could even teach us Alchemy and Enchantment.
Alchemy was refining all kinds of medicinal materials into magic potions. Enchantment was applying magic incantations to weapons, giving them magical effects. Both of them were high-level skills that only mages could learn.
I suddenly felt that I was very ignorant and inexperienced. There were many strange things here that I had never heard of before.
What was even more eye-opening for me was the following place. Furthermore, I met a person that I would never forget in my entire life.
There was a large room in the corner of the secret base. Natalia led me and Avina into the room.
A golden-haired youth wearing light leather armor was throwing a black ball-shaped object at the corner of the wall. With a "bang", the stone shattered in all directions.
I didn't know what to say when I saw this scene. I had never seen such a strange thing before.
"Miss Natalya, how do you have the time to visit me? Who are these two? Let me guess. You must be new members that Natalia tricked. You should know that our job is very dangerous. I advise you to give up. "
Before we could open our mouths, the golden-haired young man started talking to himself, making the situation awkward.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have brought you here to see this lunatic." Natalia seemed to regret bringing us to this place.
"Don't go. Let me show you my newest creation."
The blonde boy turned around proudly and found a silver-plated crossbow under his messy workbench. The workmanship of the crossbow could be said to be excellent.
"Isn't this made by Lamu?" Natalia said mercilessly.
"Well, he was the one in charge of making it. However, this design was invented by me, a genius. Who asked me to be the famous Lord Kelvin?"
Looking at this blonde boy who called himself Lord Kelvin putting so much effort into his performance, I felt that he was more suited to be a court clown.
"Don't look down on this crossbow. I call it the Demon Hunting Crossbow. It can be loaded with thirty silver-plated crossbow bolts in one go. Moreover, it can be fired continuously. Moreover, I specially made some crossbow bolts with special functions. Its destructive power is very shocking because it can fire thirty consecutive bolts without needing to be reloaded."
After listening to Kelvin's introduction, I felt that this Demon Hunting Crossbow was indeed very powerful. In the past, when I went to hunt monsters with Hissed, I used a crossbow for a while. I felt that it took a lot of time to reload. However, I had never heard of a crossbow that could fire continuously. Now, I saw something that I had never heard of before with my own eyes.
"How is it? Not bad, right? Newbie, if you are interested, I can lend it to you for free for a few days. "The blonde boy's generosity made me wonder if there was some kind of trap.
I took the Demon Hunting Crossbow and accidentally pulled the trigger. The crossbow bolts instantly shot to the ceiling and almost blinded Kelvin's eyes.
"Hehe, newbie, be careful. I almost lost my life!" Kelvin shouted angrily.
Avina and Natalia also broke out in cold sweat. I also scratched my head in embarrassment.
"My name is Laric Field. If you need any help in the future, just let me know." I extended my right hand to Kelvin.
Kelvin also extended his right hand. However, before we could shake hands, we heard a loud bang from the ceiling. It seemed that something terrifying had happened up there.
"Oh no, they are here …" Natalia's expression suddenly became very serious. Even Kelvin became nervous.
"What is it?" I had a puzzled expression.
