Frostwood Village, the village longhouse.

Jason's body was covered with a white cloth and placed in the middle of the house.

Baron and many hunters gathered together. The village chief, Grif and others were listening. There were also circles of villagers outside the house, whispering to each other in shock.

After many hunters finished talking about their sightings, the room fell into silence, leaving only the crackling sound of dry wood burning in the fire.

"...This is what the lord said and what we saw. When we arrived, he had already killed the lord's guard and was seriously injured and on the verge of death. We still don't know why Jason did such a thing."

Weiss sounded confused.

This is also a puzzle for all hunters.

Balon was saddened by Jason's death in battle. Hearing this, he immediately thought of something, his face trembled, and he said in a deep voice:

"Two days ago, Jason and I broke into a shady deal. The grain collection team came to the village. One of them was the director of the pharmacy. He asked our village doctor to smuggle the medicine, brought it back to White Plains City, and replaced it with inferior medicine.

The inventory of the pharmacy... We captured these two people, and I asked Jason to take them to the town to expose them to the lord..."

Everyone was stunned and immediately cheered up.

"Could it be..." Weiss' eyes narrowed.

Bang!

Baron pounded the table, with a look of anger on his face: "Jason's death must be related to this matter!"

When he discovered that the potion was corrupt, his first reaction was to report it to the lord. He felt that only the lord could thoroughly investigate the matter and clean the potion shop from top to bottom to ensure that the hunter potion supplied in the future would no longer be defective.

But he didn't expect to send Jason into a pit of fire.

Although he still didn't understand the deeper reason why the lord did this, he was sure that the lord would not be able to get away with it!

The faces of Weiss, Weber and other hunters also darkened.

It was also the first time that they knew about this. The potions they usually bought at high prices were actually adulterated with inferior products. Although most people had never bought them, some people did occasionally encounter potions that were very ineffective. They thought it was a normal fluctuation in quality.

, I didn’t expect it to be a shady case of corruption.

Everyone couldn't help but feel angry.

"So, you thought the lord was trying to silence him, so Jason came to fight back?" Weiss frowned.

"I can't think of other possibilities." Balon said in a solemn tone: "I know Jason's temperament very well. He will not attack the lord without any reason."

Weber rubbed his chin and said in a deep voice: "So, the lord explained that this was a private action of the guards, maybe it was just an excuse to use the topic..."

The group of people exchanged information and deduced the overall cause. Although there were some deviations due to the lack of some information, they roughly understood the cause and effect.

After figuring out the whole story, the trust of many hunters in Root fell to the bottom.

"I didn't expect Lute to be this kind of person. Fortunately, I thought he was a good lord before..."

"These powerful people are really dirty."

Everyone had different expressions and were filled with anger.

If they didn't volunteer to protect people, who would listen to the lord's orders?

But now, the lord dared to turn against one of them, without caring about the identity of the exotic beast hunter.

Alien beast hunters are the most respected group, but the lord dares to risk the world's disapproval and wants to kill the hunters... If Root can attack Jason today, he can attack them tomorrow.

"We can't just let this matter go!" Baron slammed the table and said angrily: "Lute must pay the price for Jason's death!"

"What should we do? We can't learn from Jason and kill the lord, right? The empire has laws. We, a group of exotic beast hunters, work together to kill the town lord. What is this? What do other people think?" Someone said

Couldn't help but interrupt.

"Don't you care?"

"Of course not, please calm down." Weiss held Baron's arm down.

Everyone looked at each other in shock.

They were angry at what happened to Jason, but it was one thing to be willing to stand up for Jason, but if they killed the lord, they would be wanted on their own behalf. Maybe there were other ways to solve the problem.

Weber kneaded his knuckles, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"There is no need to confront the lord, he will not admit it, but we are not suitable to directly avenge Jason... Perhaps, we should expose the lord's affairs to the empire, expose the problem of the pharmacy, cause a big incident, and let the empire

Someone will investigate thoroughly and find out all the inside stories. It is best to appoint a new lord."

"...Is this useful?"

Weiss was skeptical.

Although the alien hunter group is highly valued by the Terra Empire, will the empire directly replace the lord of a region because of reports from hunters?

Weber said slowly:

"Let's try and talk about it... In short, if the lord does not change, I will definitely leave. I will not work under such a person. Although I am willing to eliminate the threat of alien beasts for White Plains City, I do not want to be attacked by the lord's people one day.

He died inexplicably."

"That's right. Me too."

Many hunters agreed.

Even if they have to start over somewhere else, many hunters don't want to continue their activities near White Plains City.

"Do we have to use this roundabout method? I just want to kill Root with an axe!" Balon said with a fierce look on his face.

"I think so too... But we are beast hunters. We don't just represent ourselves. The impact of killing the lord is too great. Jason's approach is too drastic. It is really... In short, if there are other ways, don't directly

Use a knife. Our blades should be pointed at strange animals, not people."

Weber tensed his face muscles and pursed his lips.

Baron's bald head had veins popping up. He didn't like this method, and he felt like there was a fire in his heart that couldn't be vented.

According to his wishes, wouldn't it be fun to rush into the castle tonight and directly chop the culprit to death?!

But the concerns of the other hunters were reasonable, and besides, the others were not that familiar with Jason. They were willing to help because the matter was closely related to them and they shared the same hatred and hatred, so they could not be forced to take radical methods.

Compared with pure revenge, ensuring that this kind of thing never happens again may be more important to other hunters.

"I know." Baron responded in a muffled voice.

Weiss began to persuade: "Now that we are justified, don't do stupid things. There will be an explanation for Jason's matter."

Baron shook his head, stood up suddenly, picked up Jason's body, and whispered:

"I buried him first."

After saying that, he strode out.

Seeing this, everyone stopped their discussion and followed him out one after another.

Many villagers outside gathered behind, looking at Jason's body with sad expressions.

The group came to the cemetery, dug a grave, and buried Jason's body next to Will's cemetery.

Balon took out his carving knife and paused for a moment before carving an epitaph on the tombstone.

"The Grave of Jason Wood"

"A talented hunter, a companion, and a best friend"

Everyone present looked at the tombstone and observed a moment of silence, feeling a little sad.

The villagers of Frostwood Village have a deeper relationship. After getting along for half a year, Jason eradicated the threat of the Earth Bone Man for the village. Everyone thought of him well and were extremely sad at this moment.

"Jason..."

Grif felt sad.

The scene of our first meeting half a year ago seems to still be vivid in my mind.

But now, he is still standing outside.

That heroic and open-minded man was lying on the grave.

Reiner blinked his big eyes in the crowd, not knowing what he was thinking.

Balon looked at the graves of Jason and Will, silently.

During his years as a hunter, although he was used to seeing separations between life and death, he still couldn't let go of the death of his "loved disciple".

"Your future shouldn't stop here..."

Baron rubbed the tombstone, feeling uneasy.

…

As time passed, the rumors in Baiyuan City spread more and more widely.

Almost everyone in the city knew what happened that night. They knew that a hunter named "Jason Wood" openly attacked the lord's longhouse and almost killed the lord.

The alien hunter kills the lord, this is the first time that this is earth-shattering!

Due to the lack of entertainment, this rumor soon became the main topic of discussion for most residents in White Plains City after dinner, and they analyzed it very clearly.

Regarding the reason, the hunters did not remain silent, claiming that the lord planned to silence them and cover up the secret of secretly changing the inventory in the pharmacy.
