"She's recruiting people again. This isn't the first time this female Demon Hunter has done this?"
The corner of Gounières's eyes twitched slightly.
"What do you mean by pulling people in again?" Diana snapped at the corridor.
"I'm strengthening our Demon Hunter team, do you understand?"
"Lei Lou's team already has seven Demon Hunters, and we only have three. How are we going to surpass them if this continues?"
"It wasn't easy for me to find a superhuman with decent talent today, but you ruined it again."
As Diana spoke, two Transcended dressed as Demon Hunters appeared at the door of the small private room, one old and one young.
The young Demon Hunter was only thirteen or fourteen years old. He had the aura of a rank-1 origin power, and the origin power in his body couldn't be concealed well. It was obvious that he had just advanced to rank-1 not long ago.
The old Demon Hunter, on the other hand, was tall and big. His face had the roughness of the highlands, his beard was slightly white, and his eyes were shockingly bright.
There was no aura of origin power in his body, making him look like an ordinary person.
However, he gave off a very dangerous feeling.
"An old Demon Hunter who has gone through hundreds of battles and hunted countless people," Gounières commented in his heart.
After the old Demon Hunter swept past Gounières, an apologetic look appeared on his face.
He took off his Demon Hunter hat and bowed slightly to Gounières, "Sir, I'm very sorry. Diana has a quick tongue. If she's offended you in any way, please forgive her."
Some people were straightforward by nature, showing everything on their faces. Although these people were sometimes careless and not liked by others, at least they wouldn't backstab others at critical moments.
"Oh! It's nothing. "Gounières waved his hand, a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"Fortunately, this beautiful lady killed that soul monster. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to put in some effort."
"If you don't mind, senior, please come in and have a seat."
"I don't think I've seen the appearance of that soul monster on the Transcendent Creature Scroll. Senior, can you tell me more about that monster? "
With regards to these experienced old Demon Hunters, interacting with them would definitely bring him a lot of benefits.
Moreover, Gounières also had some questions he wanted to ask this old senior.
After pondering for a moment, a smile appeared on the old Demon Hunter's face. His vigilance was also slightly lowered.
From his tone, actions, and habits, he could roughly determine that this Beyonder in front of him should be a Beyonder who had received excellent Beyonder education. He might even be a noble.
Judging from his young age, he shouldn't have any bad intentions.
"The servants of the devils have been eliminated. Sorry to disturb you." The old Demon Hunter smiled.
The private room was spacious enough for the old Demon Hunter and the other two to sit together.
"Qiao Eric, you can call me Old Qiao Mu," the old demon hunter introduced himself after sitting down.
"This is Diana Rook."
"My name is Hodge Brute. My goal is to become a great Demon Hunter. Hunt those powerful demons and devils. Oh right, and those extremely evil evil gods. "
The young Demon Hunter, Hodge Brutus, introduced himself confidently.
"A very ambitious goal. I think you'll achieve it," Gounières praised.
"I'm Jack Sparrow, a normal Beyonder," Gounières introduced himself.
Since he was hiding his identity, Gounières naturally could not use his real name.
"Senior, you mentioned the servants of the devils? Are they the soul monsters from before? "
"Yes." Old Qiao Mu nodded slightly.
"Some ancient altars deep in the highland mountain range in the northwest have been shattered. Many creatures that live in darkness all year long have escaped from the underground."
Altars, dark creatures underground.
Gounières grasped the key information very effectively.
"Dark creatures? It's been many years since dark creatures appeared in Aurea! "Gounières said.
"That's true. A few years ago, many demon hunters in our circle said that the dark creatures had disappeared from Auja."
"But in recent years, especially last year, many dark and necromancy creatures have appeared in many altars, ancient sealed lands, or places shrouded in dark energy."
"For example, primitive vampires, dark werewolves, ghouls, skeletal creatures, evil witches, and the servants of the devils that you encountered just now."
"I see." Gounières pondered this useful information and gradually understood.
"It's just spring this year, and the snow melts into the mountains. Senior, when did you leave the Suge Ruins and head south?"
After pondering for a while, Gounières asked the question in his heart.
"Of course, it's because …"
Old Qiao Mu smiled.
"We've hunted most of the dark creatures in the north."
"Hunted?" Gounières was startled.
Didn't they say that the creatures that came from the dark underground were very powerful?
How could they be hunted so quickly?
Logically speaking, when the mysterious tide came, darkness would shroud the land, and terror and death would drown this continent like a tide, right?
I haven't even sensed the dark energy, and it's already gone?
Old Qiao Mu seemed to have sensed Gounières's confusion.
Old Qiao Mu slowly explained.
"Times have changed."
"When I was young …"
Old Qiao Mu, who was pondering, seemed to recall the past.
"At that time, there were very few Extraordinaires, and there were also very few Extraordinaire resources."
"And our Northern Empire's territory had never expanded to such a large extent."
"I remember the first time I came to the northern territory to hunt with my Demon Hunter teacher. It was a vast and dangerous wasteland with no railroad tracks or rumbling trains."
"Teacher and I rode on the same horse, but halfway through the journey, the horse was eaten by a pack of wasteland wolves."
"Teacher and I could only walk for the next eleven days."
"Every night, we had to pick out the blisters on our feet, or else we wouldn't be able to walk the next day."
"I remember very clearly that the only valuable thing I had on me at that time was that demon hunting dagger."
"Every three days, I had to inject origin energy into that old demon hunting dagger that was mixed with a small amount of black iron to maintain its lethality against Extraordinaire creatures."
"Otherwise, it would feel very blunt when used to cut vegetables."
"In the end, Teacher and I arrived at the Demon Hunter Town in the valley. It was a gathering place for Demon Hunters and adventurers."
"At that time, the income from hunting was very, very low, and many Demon Hunters found it difficult to continue. While being a Demon Hunter, they were also half a traveling merchant and Wilderness Hunter."
"And Extraordinaire equipment was even rarer at that time."
"A complete Magic Copper rank short knife, dagger, or longsword is the symbol of a powerhouse," Kieran explained.
"And the Demon Hunting Pistol was only owned by the top Demon Hunters."
"Teacher and I once participated in an auction in that town. A Demon Hunting Pistol was ultimately auctioned off by a wealthy noble for more than a hundred gold pounds."
"At that time, a hundred gold pounds wasn't the same as it is now. At that time, the wealth I had on me at my richest was only five silver royals, twenty-two copper coins, and eight horn tokens."
"And now, the 'horn token' is a unit of money that has already disappeared."
"As for potions, no Demon Hunter could be so extravagant as to use potions."
"My teacher, that outstanding Demon Hunter, had his abdomen ripped open by a powerful rank four Elite Witch with a Broken Edge Poison Blade."
"Blood flowed all over the ground, and even his internal organs fell out."
At this point, Old Qiao Mu's tone was full of sorrow and nostalgia.
"In the end, Teacher still killed that evil witch."
"At that time, if we had even a bottle of normal beginner-level recovery potion, my teacher wouldn't have died."
"But now … the times are completely different."
The nostalgic expression on the old Demon Hunter's face gradually faded, and a smile surfaced.
