I Will Be the Son of Man

Blinking his eyes in confusion, Hill looked around, not knowing what to do.

It is obvious that the existence of the basilisk has been suppressed, but at this moment it looks strangely "helpless".

"Master Hill! Huh? William!!!"

The hunters who came later arrived at this time. They didn't expect that Hill would solve Hydera just for a while.

But what I didn't expect was that Old William was lying on the ground because of the deadly poison in his body.

"Heh! Cough! Why are you showing such an expression, you stupid guys..."

"I've lived long enough, even longer than my children, ahem!"

"Before I leave, I can see it, ahem! I'm very satisfied that that beast has been dealt with! Ahem!"

Black and green blood was spitting out of his mouth, and Old William's aura was obviously gradually weakening, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"However, before that, cough cough! Master Hill, can I have a few more words with you...cough cough!"

Hearing the other party calling his name, Hill walked over, but for some reason, he felt that his legs were a bit strenuous.

"Master Hill, you are the real hero I have ever seen."

"I don't know what other heroes are like, but I think heroes must be like you."

"Maybe it's just a little effort for you, but for us, this is undoubtedly salvation, so really, really, thank you very much...cough cough cough!"

It seemed that it was because of his emotional agitation that Old William seemed to cough up his lungs, and the blood from his mouth couldn't stop flowing out.

"It looks like it's time for me to go..."

"Robert, don't forget to bury me next to that guy Lawrence when I die. If I forget, I will come back from Hades to find you, hahahaha! Cough cough!"

Having not laughed out loud for a long time, old William had a relieved smile on his face.

Then he turned his gaze to Hill, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

"Master Hill, holding the missing [silver] bow..."

"I wish you all the best in your future journey..."

Looking at Hill for the last time with deep blessings, old William's eyes were already out of focus, but the tears from the corners of his eyes overflowed again, and he murmured the only remaining words in his mouth.

"Ah... Lawrence, are you here to pick me up, Lawrence..."

The solitary hand trembled and raised, as if Old William was about to grab something, but in the next second, his arm dropped powerlessly.

"William..."

Although he felt sad in his heart, seeing his friend who was both a teacher and a friend finally left with a peaceful smile, Robert restrained his grief and just fell into silence.

Hill stared blankly at the scene in front of him, and after a while, he seemed to be talking to himself, and he seemed to be explaining to others.

"I'm not a hero, I'm Hill..."

Chapter 018: One person, one mouthful

Old William's funeral was simple.

The people in the village put him back into a hunting suit, washed off the blood on his body, put a layer of oil on the surface, and put a silver coin in his mouth for crossing the river in the underworld.

It was over when William Sr.'s body was buried in a coffin with his son's grave.

There was no mortuary ceremony, no memorial ceremony, and no poetry or elegy.

For a small hunter village like them, this was already the most solemn funeral.

Hill silently attended the funeral of old William, and did not leave straight away after solving Hydera.

He didn't understand why he wanted to attend the other party's funeral. He just subconsciously felt that he should stay and witness the other party's coffin being buried in the ground.

Instead of accepting the reward promised by Robert and others, Hill just took some wild boar and left.

"Myrcella, in fact, if you want to leave with that hero, I don't have any objections."

Watching his daughter keep watching the direction of Hill's departure, Robert sighed and persuaded.

"No, father."

"That lord is a real hero. From the beginning to the end, he never looked at me. Moreover, that kind of eyes..."

"—too pure."

Remembering how she could clearly see her posture when she met the boy's gaze, Myrcella felt a little ashamed.

"So, I just sincerely hope that the adult can get happiness in the end, that's all..."

Even though she had never seen the other side against Hydera with her own eyes, Myrcella knew that such a hero needs to be remembered, and such deeds need to be praised.

******

After leaving the hunter's village, Hill had more trophies of giant mud crabs and Hydra's corpses, as well as the wild boar rewards of the hunters.

The appearance and words of old William at the time of his death have been lingering in his mind, making Hill continue to walk towards the west while thinking about what he felt at that time.

After all, Hill didn't know where Uruk was from Robert and the others, so he could only keep going.

However, there were a few days on the way because of cloudy and rainy days, and Hill had no way to find the so-called west according to the sun, so he could only walk according to his own memory.

Along the way, Hill was not like before, and he didn't even meet anyone.

But neither the traveling merchant nor the villagers in the passing village had ever heard of the name Uruk, so Hill could only keep going.

The sun is shining.

Although I don't feel hot, and I quite like this temperature, but I still feel thirsty in my body.

Hill lightly sniffed the smell in the air, and after feeling the breath of the water, he started to rush in that direction.

******

This is a forest, but it is not full of stinky smell like the original swamp forest, but has a natural and fresh smell.

Hearing the sound of running water not far away, Hill walked into the forest without any hurry.

At this time, there was a sudden rustling sound from the nearby bushes.

Hill didn't call out the silver bow, because he had already sensed what it was through the smell.

—A hare.

As if looking for food, the hare ran out of the bushes with blades of grass in its mouth.

But after he discovered Hill's existence, he instinctively ran in a hurry, trying to stay away from him.

I didn't choose to hunt because I wasn't hungry yet.

Hill planned to let the hare go like this, but at this moment, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the sky.

An arrow-like existence shot straight at the hare, nailing it to the ground.

Hill followed the trend, only to realize that what hit the hare was not an arrow at all, but an extremely sharp metal feather.

grumble!grumble!

The source of the attack soon appeared. With the sound of flapping wings and strange screams in the sky, Hill took out his silver bow without hesitation, raised his head and looked directly at the sky above the forest.

It was a group of strange birds.

They were clad in sharp metallic feathers that shone coldly, and their beaks were dark as bronze.

This group of strange birds had just flown away from their nests to go hunting, but unexpectedly, they happened to meet Hill here.

Since it was the prey that came to your door, there was no reason to waste it.

The strange birds flapped their wings and disturbed Hill's attention with strange calls. At the same time, the feathers on their bodies fell off by themselves, turning into attacks like sharp arrows, surrounding Hill from all directions.

Pulling the bowstring in his hand several times, the silver arrow directly opened a passage, allowing Hill to dodge.

But in the next second, the group of strange birds began to splash their own poisonous feces, trying to restrict Hill's movements.

The barrier formed by the release of magic power spread out in an instant.

Hill disrupted the trajectories of the feathers and feces, the golden snake eyes stared straight at the strange birds in the sky, and silver streamers burst out from his hands.

grumble--!grumble--!

One after another, the strange birds fell from the sky stiffly because they were directly hit on the vital points, and the remaining few, feeling that the momentum was not good, just wanted to escape and fly away, but the speed of the arrows was much faster than they imagined. After catching up to their figures, they also died and fell.

Actively provoking the awareness that hunting means being eaten, Hill has no extra thoughts about taking care of this group of strange birds, but instinctively thinks that the group of guys with metal wings should not be delicious.

Of course, for some villages not far from this forest, they will undoubtedly be very happy when they know the news.

Because, it is this group of strange birds, since they came here, they have spoiled their crops from time to time, and occasionally captured their villagers, causing them headaches and hatred.

Not in a hurry to recover the corpses of the strange birds, Hill decided to solve the problem of thirst first.

Sure enough, following the sound of the water, Hill saw a lake in a short while.

The lake water is shimmering under the sunlight, very clear and clean, and it is completely drinkable.

Hill stepped forward, scooped up a handful of water with both hands, and sniffed it lightly, but didn't smell any strange smell from it.

If I have to say it, there is a faintly wonderful fragrance that is enough to make people think it is an illusion.

But because it was too ethereal, Hill didn't care.

However, just when he was about to lower his head to drink water, a strong horse suddenly emerged from the bushes beside him.

The horse stood there and looked at Hill, but it didn't run away, nor did it go mad, it just snorted, as if it didn't care about Hill's existence.

Ignoring the saddled horse, Hill poured water into his mouth, relieving his dry throat.

Just as he was about to continue scooping up the second handful of water, the surface of the lake not far away suddenly had ripples that were getting closer.

Then, the moment he was about to approach the lake, a figure suddenly appeared under the water.

——Under the bright sun, the girl's body glistens under the reflection of water drops.

She just appeared in front of Hill with such nakedness, and her expression was stunned for a moment.
