*********************************
In addition to three tails of different colors, a white fox as big as an adult bull appeared on the electronic screen.
"Dear guests, this is your goal this time, the Ghost-Faced Fox King. The reason why it is called the Ghost-Faced Fox King is because the face of this kind of fox looks like a ghost mask." Butler Czech said while pressing the button in his hand. , the picture on the electronic screen changed accordingly, and the ghost-faced fox king who had not shown his true face before showed his true face this time. Not to mention, as Czech said, the face of the Ghost-faced Fox King is just like the mask toy sold by the vendors in Han Yu's hometown.
"The Ghost-Faced Fox King has a total of three abilities. These three abilities can be identified by the Ghost-Faced Fox King's tail. The Ghost-Faced Fox King in this mission has three abilities: fire, wind, and earth. That's exactly what it is, so it Its tails are red, green, and yellow. If you want to deal with it, you must cooperate closely, otherwise, it will be difficult to complete this mission."
Listening to the words of the housekeeper Czech, Han Yu looked at the man and woman standing behind Paul from time to time. They were twins. Their almost identical appearance surprised Han Yu.
"Hey, don't you know it's rude to look at a lady like this?" the woman standing behind Paul asked Han Yu dissatisfied.
"Huh? Uh I'm sorry." Han Yu scratched his head and apologized with an embarrassed look on his face.
Paul, who was sitting on the side, smiled when he heard this, and said to the girl behind him in a smooth manner: "Okay Mingyue, I think little brother Han is just curious that you and your brother look almost the same. He doesn't mean any harm. Han Little brother, are you right?"
"Yes, yes, Uncle Paul, you are absolutely right." Han Yu nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
Paul smiled and motioned to his butler Czech to continue. Butler Czech nodded and continued: "The mission will begin in seven days. During these seven days, you can freely arrange your schedule. The training ground is also open to you at any time. If you need anything, you can ask the servant responsible for receiving you. "
"Can I go out?" Ning Ping asked.
"Okay." Czech looked at his master Paul, and replied after receiving Paul's approval.
The meeting lasted until late at night. Most of the time, the housekeeper Czech was talking and Han Yu and others were listening. Don't underestimate the information that Czech said about the Ghost-faced Fox King. Those are all obtained by human lives. Remembering more at this time will be of great help for subsequent tasks.
After the meeting, Paul was about to leave when Leo suddenly said: "Please wait a moment, I have some questions about the employer of this mission."
Paul stopped when he heard this, turned around and replied: "Please speak."
"Are these two our companions on this mission?" Leo asked, pointing to the twins next to Paul.
"Yes. They will act with you then."
“Then, should we let them stay and get to know each other with us?”
“It’s not necessary.” The man standing behind Paul who had never said a word said aloud.
Leo frowned when he heard this, "Since we are companions, I think it is necessary to get to know each other. The butler also said just now that if you want to complete this mission, it is best to work closely together. If you think it is not necessary, then I Do you think we can ignore you until then?"
"It's up to you." The man said two words and turned around to leave.
"I'm sorry, Leo, Xiang Yang has this temper." Paul said to Leo with an apologetic look.
"It's okay, it's okay." Leo replied with a smile.
Such an episode caused the meeting to break up unhappy in the end. Han Yu and Ning Ping followed the servant back to their rooms. After the door was closed, Han Yu immediately asked in confusion: "Ning Ping, during the meeting just now, you suddenly asked if you could go out for something? Do you have acquaintances on Darnielle and want to visit them?"
"Of course not. You forgot that I told you before that Xie Tianfeng seemed to have something to say to us in the Hunter Guild but didn't say it. Although we decided not to go to Xie Tianfeng to ask about this matter, we can go to other The hunter asked about this"
"Woof! Woof! Woof woof!"
Before Ning Ping finished speaking, there was a sudden burst of dog barking outside the window, followed by noisy people and flashing lights. When I opened the window, I saw brightly lit lights beside the garden fence. Dozens of guards leading four police dogs were busy there.
"I'll go take a look." Han Yu said, turned over and jumped out of the window. Ning Ping was about to open his mouth to ask Han Yu to stay quiet, but found that he was alreadyIt’s over. He could only shake his head and jump out of the window.
When Han Yu and Ning Ping arrived at the scene, they discovered that they were not the only two curious people. Leo, Alice, and Richard, whom they met before, have arrived at the scene and are standing not far away watching.
"Hey, Han Yu, you're here too." Leo waved to Han Yu and Ning Ping and said hello.
"Well, what happened? Uncle Leo." Han Yu came over and asked.
Hearing Han Yu’s name, Leo’s brows twitched and he asked with a wry smile: “Have I matured to that point?”
"Huh?" Han Yu was stunned when he heard this.
"Forget it, let's not discuss my age. Let's talk about this. I heard from the guards that a thief wanted to sneak in, but the thief was unlucky. He was discovered by the police dog as soon as he entered. They are now identifying the thief. It slipped in from somewhere."
"Oh, that's it. Ning Ping, what's wrong with you?" Han Yu turned his head and saw Ning Ping squatting not far away, and quickly ran over and asked.
"It's okay, the shoelaces are loose, tie them tighter." Ning Ping stood up and replied nonchalantly.
Everyone didn’t think much after hearing this and continued to stand aside and watch the fun. Not long after, the guards in the courtyard had finished handling the matter. Seeing that there was no excitement to be seen, Han Yu and others returned to their respective rooms one after another.
As soon as the door closed, Ning Ping immediately closed the window, opened the door again and looked outside the door. After making sure there was no one around the room, he whispered to Han Yu this time: "Han Yu, guess what I just discovered?"
Seeing Ning Ping’s actions just now, he guessed that Ning Ping must have something to tell him. Han Yu immediately asked in cooperation: "What did you find?"
"Look at this." Ning Ping took out a round seal from his pocket and handed it to Han Yu.
"Hunter badge?" Han Yu blurted out immediately when he saw what Ning Ping was holding.
"Yes, it's the hunter badge. This is an important tool for a hunter to prove his identity. But now it appears here, and you see, we should also know the owner of this badge." Ning Ping said, holding the hunter badge in his hand Turned over.
"Xie Tianfeng? Is it hers?" Looking at the three words engraved on the back of the hunter's badge, Han Yu looked at Ning Ping suspiciously and asked.
"Well, if this hunter badge is real, then the thief who wanted to sneak in just now is Xie Tianfeng."
"Does she have something to say to us?"
"I think it's 80% correct. Let's go out tomorrow and check with Xie Tianfeng to confirm."
"Um."
There was no talk all night, and in the early morning of the next day, Han Yu and Ning Ping found the housekeeper Czech, claiming that it was their first time on Darnielle and they wanted to go out for a walk. The housekeeper Czech readily agreed, and kindly wanted to introduce a tour guide to Han Yu and Ning Ping. However, Han Yu and Ning Ping declined. Just kidding, how can we find Xie Tianfeng with the tour guide you introduced?
Han Yu and Ning Ping, who were unfamiliar with the place, finally found Xie Tianfeng’s residence after asking many people. When I arrived at Xie Tianfeng's residence, I happened to catch up with a lively scene. Xie Tianfeng was lecturing people in front of his house.
"Xiao Qi, why don't you listen to me? Didn't I tell you a long time ago that you are no longer allowed to extort money from passing travelers?"
"Sister, if you don't want to extort money, what will the brothers eat?" the man known as Xiao Qi asked, squinting his neck.
"Can't you help them find a real job?"
"But those jobs are dirty and tiring, and the brothers can't do them."
“In a word, you guys can’t bear the hardship, and you think it’s easier to rob than to earn.”
"Yes." Xiao Qi seemed to be willing to take the risk and nodded.
"You think so too?" Xie Tianfeng looked at several people next to him and asked. The few people who were questioned lowered their heads in guilt. Seeing this, Xiao Qi shouted dissatisfied: "Hey, why are you so unloyal? What did you say when the spicy food was so popular?"
"Xiaoqi, um, we think what the eldest sister said makes sense."
Huang Xiaoqi almost got angry when he heard this, pointed at the speaker and cursed: "Fool, don't expect me to take you to eat well in the future."
"Huang Xiaoqi!" Xie Tianfeng shouted after hearing this.
"How's it going?" Huang Xiaoqi asked, scratching his neck.
Xie Tianfeng looked at Huang Xiaoqi who was full of dissatisfaction. He suddenly felt very tired and sighed, "Forget it, you are old and have your own ideas. From now on, you decide your own path. But, in In my territory, I don’t want to see you extorting money from others anymore. Are there any of you?Anyone who wants to leave with Huang Xiaoqi can leave, and I have absolutely no objection. "
Huang Xiaoqi stood up when he heard the words, and shouted to the people who were kneeling on the ground like him just now: "You have heard it, I hope that in the future, those who are popular, drink spicy food, and live a good life will all stand up and follow me."
He shouted three times in a row, but no one stood up to respond to Huang Xiaoqi’s words. Huang Xiaoqi looked at his brother with some disappointment, who had vowed to advance and retreat with him before, and nodded to everyone and said: "Okay, since you are not willing to do it with me, Huang Xiaoqi, then I, Huang Xiaoqi, will not force it. I just hope that you will not regret it in the future. From today on, I, Huang Xiaoqi, will sever all ties with you." After saying this, Huang Xiaoqi turned and left without looking back.
Xie Tianfeng reached out several times to stop Huang Xiaoqi, but in the end he said nothing and watched Huang Xiaoqi disappear into the crowd.
When the crowd dispersed and Xie Tianfeng turned around to go back to the house, she heard someone calling her name from behind. Xie Tianfeng looked back and saw Han Yu and Ning Ping walking slowly over.
"You guys, why are you here?" Xie Tianfeng asked in surprise.
"Come into the room and talk, this is not the place to talk." Ning Ping replied.
"Okay." Xie Tianfeng nodded when he heard this, and took Han Yu and Ning Ping into the house.
As soon as he entered the room, Ning Ping handed something to Xie Tianfeng and asked, "Is this yours?"
Xie Tianfeng took it and took a look. He subconsciously reached out and touched his waist. His expression suddenly changed and he blurted out, "Why is this thing in your hands?"
"I picked it up." Ning Ping replied calmly. Then, Ning Ping looked at Xie Tianfeng calmly and asked, "Then can you tell us now what you wanted to do when you wanted to sneak into Paul's home last night?" What are you doing? Don’t worry, no one else knows about your hunter badge except me and Han Yu."
Hearing Ning Ping's words, Xie Tianfeng breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Ning Ping: "Thank you. If this badge falls into the hands of that old monster, then I will have no choice but to leave Danil Star and go to another place to remain anonymous. .”
"Huh?" Ning Ping looked at Xie Tianfeng after hearing this, and asked aloud: "Since the beginning of the Hunter Guild, you seem to have something to tell us. Last night, you sneaked into the home of our mission employer. Did you want to find us? ?”
"Yes, I think there are some things that should be reminded of you, instead of letting you die in a daze."
"This sounds serious. We have a lot of time today. Can you start from the beginning?"
"Okay, then I'll tell you some of the rumors I know about the Ghost-Faced Fox King, so that you won't be kept in the dark by others. The reward for this mission must be very generous, right?"
"Yes, very generous." Ning Ping nodded and replied.
"Actually, from the beginning of this mission, the rewards were not as generous as they are now. However, with the failure of several missions, there are not many hunters willing to take on this mission. The original A-level mission has also become a hunter-level mission. Mission. At the same time, as the release time of this mission becomes longer and longer, various opinions begin to appear."
“Well, is there any reason why Uncle Paul issued this mission?” Han Yu interjected and asked.
"Yes, and there are more than two theories. One is for revenge. It is said that Paul's grandson met the ghost-faced fox king when he went into the mountains to hunt and lost his life. The other is that Paul deliberately used it for some evil spell. People with high abilities are sent to Mount Motolo to fight the Ghost-faced Fox King, thereby collecting the grievances of the dead before they die."
"Is there really such an evil law in this world?" Han Yu asked in disbelief.
“I’ve heard it said before, but I’ve never seen it once.” Ning Ping shook his head and replied.
Xie Tianfeng heard this and said: "Han Yu, don't believe it. Evil laws do exist. I have seen it at least once."
"Oh, where is it?" Han Yu asked with interest, and Ning Ping on the side also looked like he wanted to hear.
"If possible, I would rather not have seen it." Xie Tianfeng smiled bitterly and said to Han Yu and Ning Ping: "That was two years ago when I became a fourth-level hunter. At that time, I had just completed a mission and was in the hunter hall. I handed in the task and the result was the same as yesterday, I met Paul who came to break the news.”
"You also took over this task?" Han Yu interrupted Xie Tianfeng and asked.
“I wanted to give it a try at that time, but unfortunately the other party didn’t like me, a little level four hunter, so I wasn’t selected.” Xie Tianfeng replied with a bitter smile after hearing this.
"Oh, what happens next?" Han Yu asked.
"Then? Then, unconvinced, I quietly followed those who went to Mount Motolo to perform the mission.Behind them. At that time, I didn’t dare to get too close, so I could only hang on from a distance. To this day, I'm still glad I didn't get too close. "
"What did you see in Motolo Mountain?" Ning Ping couldn't help but asked.
Xie Tianfeng seemed to have entered a memory at this time, "The battle was so tragic at that time. Through the telescope I carried with me, I saw with my own eyes that two level seven hunters who usually walked across the aisle in the guild were killed by the ghost-faced fox king. The flames spurted out turned into coke." After saying this, Xie Tianfeng shuddered all over, as if he thought of the horrific scene again.
Ning Ping saw this and asked: "What happens next? Are all the hunters who went on the mission dead?"
"Dead, all dead. At that time, I was hiding in a hidden place, not daring to take a breath, for fear of being discovered by the Ghost Faced Fox King who was obviously far away and had no chance of finding me. Until the Ghost Faced Fox King left, I When I was about to leave that place, I saw a scene that I will never forget.”
“What scene?” Ning Ping asked.
"I saw that the employer of the mission, Paul, suddenly appeared on the battlefield. He didn't know what he was holding in his hand. I just saw him walking regularly on the battlefield, and streams of black energy kept pouring into his hands. In the last episode, it wasn't until there was no more black energy on the battlefield that Paul put away the things in his hands and left. After he also left, I was obviously very scared, but at the same time, I also had the idea of ??going Look at that battlefield and see what Paul did on the battlefield?"
When Han Yu and Ning Ping heard this, they couldn't help but slow down their breathing, for fear of disturbing Xie Tianfeng in their memories. I heard Xie Tianfeng continue: "I plucked up the courage and walked to the battlefield step by step. I could hardly believe my eyes at what I saw in front of me."
"What did you see?" Han Yu couldn't help but ask.
"Originally, there were a total of seven high-level hunters to carry out the mission. But on the battlefield, I didn't see a corpse with skin and flesh, only some white bones without even a trace of flesh. The three abilities of the Ghost-faced Fox King There is no extremely corrosive poison in it, which means that those bones were caused after Paul appeared."
"So you think that the mission that Paul issued to hunt down the Ghost-faced Fox King is itself a trap."
"Yes."
"Have you told anyone else about this?"
Xie Tianfeng shook his head when he heard this and said: "No, I don't dare. That Paul is very powerful in Darniel. I heard that his son is still a member of the World Parliament. People with my status don't regard themselves as If you tell me what happened, you are simply seeking death."
"Since you didn't say it, how did this rumor spread?"
"I don't know, maybe someone else has seen that kind of situation. After all, after I saw that kind of thing, that Paul went to the Hunter Guild to issue this quest many times. But I didn't dare to accept it even once. ”
