I can go back to the mysterious age

Headquarters of the Dark Hunting Organization, Hunter Association.

This is an oval-shaped building similar to an onion, with gray and white tiles that are slightly reflective and densely stacked together. The entire building is only three stories high, but it covers a large area and is divided into multiple areas.

On the street, Ka Xiu looked up and walked in.

From behind, Herb Kames and Kroger also followed.

Except for Herb, the other two people came to the Hunter Association to submit their jobs. As the head of the Dark Hunting Organization branch, they will return to the headquarters from time to time every year or two. Now that I am here, I will submit this year’s tasks earlier. By the way, I'll accompany Kaxiu here for a walk.

Two minutes later, Card Xiu and others were taken to a lounge.

The badge has been submitted and someone has gone to notify the relevant departments.

A certain area of ​​the oval building where the department responsible for material management is located. In a spacious and bright room, two figures were sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and talking about things. The man closer to the window is a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head. He was dressed like an aristocrat, but he was still a bit potbellied.

The person who is further away from the window is a person who is easy to distinguish.

The appearance is handsome and profound, and the aura is aggressive and wild. He is tall and powerful, with a vaguely powerful aura. Coupled with the half-length blond hair, one could tell from a distance that this person was Soth.

"Mr. George, it's a pleasure to work with you."

“A pleasure to work with.”

The two smiled and shook hands, looking quite harmonious. They had just reached some agreements, mainly regarding the holy spring water. The royal family exchanged equal amounts of holy spring water with George through other materials and favors.

You know, the holy spring water has always been in the hands of the dark hunting organization. Not even the imperial royal family or the Hongli Council can intervene. This is a balance between the three parties. Within the Dark Hunting Organization, Holy Mu Cathedral undoubtedly has the largest number of holy springs, but those priests are quite inhumane and only serve according to the rules of the organization. In addition to Holy Mu Cathedral, the Hunter Association's material management department is undoubtedly second.

As a violent organization, the Hunter Association consumes a large amount of holy spring water every day, so it naturally has internal reserves. The middle-aged man named George in front of him is the second-in-command of the materials management department and holds certain additional powers. You can use some of your excess reserves to make deals secretly.

This is also the reason why the Lion King Soth is here today.

After two or three days of rest, his reattached broken arm finally stabilized. Originally, Lion King Soth was a strong contender for the Shadow Hunter seat, even the most promising among the three contenders. However, the assassination a few days ago destroyed everything. Although South is still competitive now, it is no longer the leader. At most, the probability is the same as the other two. Even if he is injured, his advantage will be even lower.

Soss couldn't accept all this happening, and he was thinking of ways to remedy it.

The best way is undoubtedly to improve your own strength.

For example, drinking a large amount of holy spring water in a short period of time will increase the number of stigmata by a stage. Return to the previous strength and even go further. Of course, this doesn't come without a cost. High-frequency use of holy spring water in a short period of time will strongly affect the hunter's character and sanity.

This will produce a large number of negative impacts and even affect the path to subsequent improvement. The source of the holy spring is an exception. There is a magical power within the scope of the source, which can minimize the negative impact.

South knew that doing so would have strong side effects, but his proud heart did not allow him to lag behind the other two. If you can become a shadow hunter, it doesn't matter if you pay some price. After all, Lion King Soth has everything now. The favor of the princess, the admiration of the noble children, and the respect of the royal family are all based on his ability to become a shadow hunter. Once there is no success, these halos will fade.

This price is much more painful than mere side effects.

Therefore, he sent his men yesterday to find George, the second-in-command of the Hunter Association's material management department. Although George's identity is a cadre of the Hunters Association, his identity in real life is that of a noble. He is naturally inclined towards the royal family and has cooperated with the royal family many times.

Therefore, South was not worried that George would not accept the business.

Today he came to discuss picking up the goods in person, and it turned out to be a very pleasant conversation.

"Sorry, Mr. George."

Soth smiled and took a sip of strong tea.

"It is my honor to serve the future Shadow Hunters..."

George said teasingly, and the two of them laughed in the end.

"It's two o'clock in the afternoon. I'll take you to get that batch of holy spring water."

George stood up as he spoke.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in..." George didn't turn his head, just put down the tea cup.

There was a click, and a hunter in gray uniform walked in.

He glanced at the Lion King Soth by the window and walked next to George.

He whispered something in his ear.

George's expression changed slightly, and then he asked someone to wait outside. He stood up and said to South: "Mr. South, please wait for me here for a while. I have some things to deal with first. I'm sorry, I'll excuse you for a while." After that, he left the sofa area and opened the door. go out.

Under the sun, Soth frowned slightly and had a bad feeling.

Outside the door, at the end of the corridor, in a secluded corner.

George's men took out a badge, half the size of a palm, in the shape of a shield. In the middle is a sword of judgment, with lines of olive branches and rice ears entwined around the edge. There are finely carved thorn patterns on the surface of the sword.

George took it and knew it was true.

This is a badge of honor issued personally by the legion commander. It cannot be faked and no one dares to fake it. He instantly remembered the ups and downs he had experienced some time ago.

"Is it the black bronze hunter named Bai Kui? The former shadow hunter Blood Ax Heb's new disciple? The fourth shadow hunter seat contender with the least presence..." A lot of information flashed through George's mind instantly.

He recalled how much holy spring water this badge of honor could be exchanged for at the Hunter Association: eight hundred units! It is equivalent to the total reward of a dark gold level hunter for six or seven years. This is not a small amount of money. Just a little less than the resource management department's reserves.

Once paid out, it will take at least two to three weeks to replenish the holy spring water reserve bit by bit. If this is the case, then the holy spring water just promised to Soth may... George showed a troubled expression on his face, because the face of the royal family is really valuable.

He rubbed the uneven surface of the badge with his fingertips for a while.

After thinking for a moment, he said to his subordinates.

"Where are they?"

Five minutes later, George walked up the stairs and came to the second floor corridor.

At the end of the corridor is the lounge.

He pondered the wording in his mind and nodded with satisfaction.

Yes, George intends to continue honoring South's side of the deal. After all, he is a noble, and there are some things he can't help himself. It will do no good to offend Soth, who is supported by the royal family. Not to mention, Lion King Soth may become a Shadow Hunter in the future. And here at Bai Kui, it's not that they won't give it, they just need to slow down. It’s the same if you give it after half a month or a month...

After all, why would a black-bronze level hunter need so much holy spring water?

George figured it out very clearly that Bai Kui was undoubtedly the easier persimmon to handle. A black-bronze level hunter, and an old hunter whose strength also dropped to the black-bronze level. It's enough to use reason to enlighten and move it with emotion.

"Ahem..."

He coughed twice and practiced smiling in front of the door. Appearance still needs to be done, after all, it is a badge of honor issued by the legion commander.

The door was unlocked, so George straightened his hair and pushed the door open.

"Mr. Bai Kui? Sorry...the resources department's reserves may..."

"ah……"

The smooth and coherent words in his mouth were stuck in the middle. George was holding the door handle, frozen in place, as if there were ants crawling on his back.

Ahead, the lounge was slightly dark, with curtains blocking two-thirds of the sun's rays. On the sofa, a slender old man was hidden in the darkness. He was missing a left arm, but his right arm was still strong. The outline of the entire face is extremely fierce, and the light black eyes have a sense of oppression.

Just by glancing over, I felt like I was being pointed at by a knife. Goosebumps spontaneously appeared on the neck and heart.

Beside the sofa, a burly old man had his back turned to him, like a savage and powerful brown bear. After hearing the door opening, the old man turned around, revealing a rough and bold face. He was wearing a shirt with two or three buttons opened by his plump and thick chest muscles, revealing a black chest.

That's not chest hair, but an extremely dangerous metallic fluid.

It was beating outside the body like a strange heart.

A powerful momentum came towards him, mixed with traces of uncontrollable murderous intent. George felt like he was being targeted by a bear.

"this……"

He subconsciously wanted to exit the room. His eyes suddenly saw the badges on the chests of the two men. They were shaped like hands holding the Judgment Sword and were white and silver in color. This is a badge that can only be worn by the head of the Dark Hunting Organization branch.

Are these two old men both branch heads? !

"Come in, don't wait at the door."

The old man, as strong as a bear, spoke with an irresistible sense of majesty. George subconsciously did so and closed the door.

Then I regretted it again. The door was closed, the space was sealed, and the momentum and pressure in the room became stronger. Not only the two old men on the left, but also the domineering aura on the right that occupies most of the space. It was a strong young man wearing a white shirt, a belt and trousers.

He is nearly 1.9 meters tall, and his burly body is two times bigger than the old man just now. The sleeves were rolled up to the elbows, revealing two pairs of thick forearms covered with granite-like muscles. The upper part of the shirt is open, and the muscles on the back and neck form a triangle.

The man had the same blond hair as Soth, maybe even longer. Coupled with his strong and handsome facial features, there is a domineering aura flowing between his eyebrows.

The smells of the two are somewhat similar, but to be honest.

In front of him, Soth was like a child who had not grown up.

George would like to call it Big Soth!

The man looked over with a substantial sense of oppression. His back was to the sun, and the black outline of his body made his figure even more muscular.

"What did you say happened to the resources department? Tell me clearly."

A low voice reached George's ears.

George said quickly: "No, no... nothing..."

He didn't know who the person in front of him was or what he wanted to do. But George instinctively denied the rhetoric he had prepared before.

"Is it nothing?" Dasos stood up in George's eyes, walking slowly and dullly: "I am Bai Kui, here to get the resources for the badge of honor..."

"Shiakui!?"

George was dumbfounded. He couldn't see any similarity between the strong man with a domineering aura in front of him and Bai Kui. Five minutes ago, George had just seen the full-length portrait in Bai Kui's file. He was clearly a delicate young man.

How could it become such a complete opposite?

Isn't Bai Kui an illusionist? This is an illusionist! ?

"Are you...are you really Bai Kui?" George couldn't help but ask.

Ka Xiu frowned slightly and replied.

"Yes, I was very thin when I first joined the association."

Hearing the affirmative answer, the shock in George's pupils faded slightly, but his heart was still turbulent. The aura of the young man in front of me is not only at the Black Bronze level, but at least at the top Dark Gold level! George himself is a Bai Yao-level hunter, so he can still make simple distinctions and comparisons. The aura displayed by Bai Kui was even more powerful than the Lion King Soth whom he had just met. I just don't know if the other party is deliberately showing off his aura to intimidate me, or if he is just showing his normal state like Soth.

If it's the latter, there may be another change in the Shadow Hunter seat!

Or so George thought, but in reality. Ka Xiu is neither of the above two. On the contrary, he is suppressing the surging breath in his body. He was suddenly promoted to a level comparable to that of a veteran fighter. The life magnetic field automatically emitted by his body would crazily oppress and shock the people around him.

In a sense, it can even be regarded as an attack.

Therefore, Kaxiu has been suppressing his aura to a normal level.

"Bai Kui..." George murmured to himself: "Oh, okay...you..."

He coughed twice and suddenly switched to a friendly tone.

"Mr. Bai Kui, please wait a little longer in the lounge. I have already asked my subordinates to pick it up. It will be delivered in twenty minutes, no, ten minutes!" George vowed, but his eyes slowly swept across the room.

Bai Kui was suspected of hiding his strength, and the old hunters who served as branch heads in various counties in the empire returned to the headquarters to support him. This is definitely not a soft persimmon!

After weighing the pros and cons, George made the right choice.

With a smile on his face, he exited the lounge and breathed out a heavy breath. Two men happened to be passing by, and George called over immediately. Let them quickly go to the warehouse to get 800 units of holy spring water.

It was delivered to the person in this lounge quickly.

And George himself left in a hurry.

Ten minutes passed, and a spacious office-like room emerged.

Lion King Soss was a little impatient with the wait. It had been almost twenty minutes.

He held the tea cup in his right hand and looked deeply. It seems that after digesting this batch of holy spring water, he is thinking about how to quickly defeat Claire Solomon and the other two with overwhelming power. Shadowhunters will soon be yours! By the way, there is also Bai Kui, who failed in the assassination attempt by the Shadow Assassin Organization...

Once you become a shadow hunter, you can do whatever you want with the ants.

Just when Soth was daydreaming about the beautiful future, the door was pushed open from the outside. His expression immediately changed to a smile, and he turned to greet her.

Unexpectedly, Mr. George, who had been laughing at Yan Yan just now, had a serious face.

"Sorry, Mr. Soss, our reserve of holy spring water may not be enough. Our transaction can only be postponed, about two or three weeks..."

The smile on Soth's face suddenly froze.

Unmodified…
