The Demon Hunter

Cologne took Lance and flew all the way to Superior, but in just two and a half months, the flames of war on the mainland not only didn't get smaller, but became more chaotic.And there are many teams that are not soldiers on the road, but they are not caravans, but refugees.

To make matters worse, it is now the autumn harvest season, but there are either floods or droughts, and the number of fields that escaped natural disasters have been destroyed by the war, and the only remaining ones have not been harvested because farmers have fled.As far as Cologne and Lance saw, the crops harvested normally by people were only two or three out of ten.

Even if the war ceases tomorrow and the natural disaster subsides, it seems that there will still be a famine.Ke Luoyin looked a little helpless, but he was neither capable of reversing the inevitable trend on the continent, nor could he get enough food to feed everyone's stomachs—even if he got enough food, he would have to go through the efforts of businessmen and officials. Send them out by hand, and once the food falls into the hands of these people, only they will know how the food will go in the end.

At the same time, he was even more worried about Ansel's situation.

If something happened to Superior that prevented him from coming back, that would of course be the best result, but if he went to Superior or encountered something on the way back—more wars, there must be more disaster victims and more bandits , that is really nowhere to be found in the vast sea of ​​people...

"Coloin, you put me here." One night when the two were roasting rabbits around the campfire, Lance suddenly said to Coloin, "You go directly to Superior to find someone, I'll follow the road Find someone."

"Ansel is already lost, and I don't want to lose you again." Cologne sighed, his foundation is still too weak, Noel and Bazel both have ways to contact other people, but Noel gave him The armband requires alchemy, Bazel's method is based on his powerful strength, the latter is out of the question for Cologne, and he hasn't had time to learn the former.

He who wasn't hungry at all suddenly lost his appetite, and even felt panicky in his heart.He put down the rabbit's legs and stood up, but looking at the dark vegetation and rocks around him, Ke Luoyin began to feel nervous.

He couldn't help but think of asking Bazel to use the demon to find someone. He was afraid that Ansel would be trapped somewhere and couldn't get out, or that he would be unable to move if he got injured or fell ill, or worse. Yes, the low temperature is too cold to lie anywhere - he dare not think of the word "death".

But in the end, he didn't put this idea into action. If something really happened, it would be too late to call those guys up. If Ansel is fine for the time being, then bringing up the devil will add chaos to the world, and it may be the opposite Put Ansel in danger.

So he turned around a few times, stepped on some flowers and plants, and Ke Luoyin could only sit back in the end.

"Alas..." Sighing, Cologne felt that he was really useless, especially compared to the group of men he saw who were getting stronger and stronger.

On the other side, Ansel is still in Superior City, but he is locked in the dungeon of the city lord, and he will go to "feed the fish" in a few days.

Ansel's family is one of the four great merchants in the city of Superior. Although they are ridiculed by some nobles as "fishy boatmen", their family is indeed rich.At the beginning of the rich family, most of them were able to maintain the harmony between father and son and brother when they were founded, but in Ansel's generation, the direct and collateral lines do not include those illegitimate children or those whose names were removed from the genealogy. There are three to 400 people alive. Naturally, there are so many nasty things about fighting for power and profit.

Ansel's parents were in a political marriage. When he was young, his parents were in harmony for a while.However, his mother's family was on the wrong side in a political struggle. Although they were not uprooted, they were also seriously injured.As a result, eight-year-old Ansel woke up to find his mother and father divorced.He clearly remembered that his mother was kicked out of the house with only a small suitcase.

A fortnight later, his father married a baroness—the widow of a certain baron.

At the beginning, although his father was not as kind to him as when his mother was alive, he was kind.But when Ansel was 12 years old and had a younger brother, his life was not so easy.

He didn't beat or scold him, but his health suddenly became worse. He got sick every now and then, and once he was so sick that he was dying.Even his father prepared his coffin for him, and no one took care of him, so he was left to die in his room.But occasionally some good things like those in novels will happen in this world. After all, art comes from life.

There was a well-known thief who came to their house to steal things, and stole into Ansel's room, only to see such a poor boy—he was poisoned, not sick.

What happened next was that Ansel became a teacher and left the house secretly.After he left the teacher, the first thing he looked for was his mother's whereabouts. He found out that his mother had married someone else after she left him. He heard that the other party was his mother's suitor before she got married.

Watching the middle-aged woman walking with her husband and children on Lawn Hill from a distance, Ansel felt relieved and sad at the same time.So he didn't go up to meet each other, and he started his career as a treasure hunter from that day on.

Until not long ago, Ansel and Cologne returned to the ground again, and Ansel experienced several life-and-death crises, and he might not come out when he returned to hell, and he probably would never see his parents again.On the mother's side, she can rest assured that she has a peaceful and happy home, but on the father's side... that kind of scheming family, he doesn't even know if his father is still alive.

So Ansel didn't think about getting to know each other, but just wanted to come back and take a look at him from a distance like he did when he visited his mother a long time ago. If he died, he would offer a bouquet of flowers to his grave, so that he would have nothing to do with the world. Nostalgic.

With this kind of thinking in mind, Ansel encountered some twists and turns on his way to Superior, but they were all within his ability to cope. It should be said that he arrived at his destination fairly smoothly.On the day he entered the city, he decided to rest for one night, and then left after seeing people the next day. Who knew that once he lay down and got up again, he would be in a dungeon...

And after him, many more were thrown into dungeons.Some of these people are from the city, but they must have offended the powerful. Most of them are foreigners, especially small businessmen with low status, or refugees who came to seek refuge. ...the one who can squeeze in the person he is looking for.

Of course Ansel knew that something was wrong, but he couldn't run if he wanted to. The lock of the dungeon couldn't stop him, but he didn't know if it was magic or medicine. He was dragged back within two steps.

At the beginning, the soldiers guarding the dungeon didn't tell them much, but after a while, the guards relaxed their vigilance, and probably thought that they would never escape, so they told them why they were arrested. The reason——Sacrifice, sacrifice to the Sea Clan!

This is the reason for the prosperity of Port Superior. The four major merchants signed a covenant with one of the sea tribes, and they will be sacrificed to them every once in a while—yes, they are, this sea tribe has only females and no males. Enough healthy men, in exchange for them to protect the merchant ships that pass through the waterway.

Ansel was unlucky to run into this wave...
