Chapter 22 Jealousy

Chapter 22

Ander followed Xavier into his Hunter's Hunter.

Although Xavier's Hunter's Hunter's cottage looks exactly the same as that of Berkesi, it is very different inside.

The space inside Xavier's wooden house is divided into two by a wooden wall, one inside is a bedroom, and the other outside is a living room. The heads of wolves, tigers and leopards are hung on the wall as decoration. There is also a shelf against the wall, which is divided into many small grids one by one, and there are different plants inside. Ender basically doesn't recognize it, and the only thing he knows is the moonlight flower.

Xavier asked Ander to put his luggage on a bench in the living room and took out three wolf skins from the bedroom.

"These three wolf skins are given to you, and they are covered for you to sleep at night. Remember, when you hand over to the newcomer, you should also prepare some basic daily necessities for him."

Xavier said while packing up the living room.

"Are you leaving today?" Ender asked.

Hearing Ander's question, Xavier laughed: "What are you going? I have to stay for two days to explain the inspection route and the arrangement of the traps. Otherwise, when you enter the woods and step into the trap I set up, will you be wronged?"

Ander nodded quickly, this was a very realistic problem.

"By the way, Ender, how old are you?" Xavier asked, taking out a pipe, skillfully took out some broken leaves and filling them in.

"About fifteen, right?" Ander looked at the pipe in Xavier's hand and said with some uncertainty: "I am an orphan. I don't remember my birthday, I only know that I am about fifteen."

"Yes, do you still remember your parents?"

"I can't remember how they looked, but my parents were still here, and they lived a happy life." Ender said, his nose sore and he lowered his head.

At this time, Ande was talking about his ex-boy, the original owner of the body, and the original impression of his parents.

It was a feeling of peace, warmth and warmth. This impression, even if the soul of the ex had completely dissipated, was still engraved in every cell of this body.

When Ander thought of his parents based on Xavier's question, this familiar warm feeling involuntarily emerged from every corner of his body.

Even though the soul of this body has been replaced by a visitor to the earth, this body still remembers this feeling, which is a brand engraved in the bone marrow.

Xavier fell silent. He took out a burning branch from the fireplace, lit the pipe, and sat in the rocking chair in front of the fireplace, smoking a cigarette, and had not spoken for a long time.

Or Ender broke the silence: "It's all over, I'm doing well now, if my parents looked at me in the kingdom of God, they would be happy."

"You are a good kid, and your parents will be proud of you." Xavier nodded: "By the way, after I finish smoking these cigarettes, I will take you to see the traps around the house. This is for defense against thieves and goblins. If you think it is a bit inappropriate, you can also transform it according to your own ideas, but be sure to leave some."

"Is it unsafe here?" Ander was a little surprised. When he fought for the position of hunter, he only heard that the hunter had a high income and could serve for two years and automatically become a free citizen, but no one told him that he was so dangerous.

"It's not very dangerous. Goblins have been out of sight for several years. There are still some goblins, but they are still scattered. As for thieves, they are all poachers. Many people actually have difficulties and come to be poachers. Sometimes they just turn a blind eye and forget it."

"But these defensive traps are still necessary. Without them, you will be unable to save your life if you are not careful." Xavier said, pointing to his white hair with the handle of his pipe: "I can live to such an old age and retire safely because I am more careful than others."

"You go to Mr. Bai Qisi's place first today, and then come all the way. I must be tired too. After seeing the traps near the house, I will rest early. I will take you to the woods tomorrow and tell you the route of patrol and the traps along the way. Once these things are explained, it will be time for me to leave here."

While speaking, Xavier turned his head and looked around at every corner of the room. Since he officially became a guard hunter fifteen years ago, he has spent most of his time in this room. Thinking about leaving here in two days, Xavier was a little moved.

But thinking about it again, I have worked hard for more than ten years, bought hundreds of acres of land, and built a house in the town. It is time to enjoy my comfortable retirement life.

Thinking of this, Xavier's spirit calmed down again.

"By the way, Mr. Xavier, why do we need to install traps on the inspection route?" Ender asked curiously. Isn't this causing trouble for himself?

"Hahaha--" Xavier burst into laughter. This question was too naive.

In fact, those who came to take over as hunters in the past were usually veterans of hunting for many years, so naturally they would not ask such naive questions.

"Mr. Ander, hahaha, do you think hunters are looking for prey all over the mountains with hunting knives and bows?"

"Uh, isn't it?" Ender was surprised and looked at the bow and arrow hanging on the wall - you still have bow and arrow hanging here, isn't you hunting with bow and arrow?

In fact, regardless of past and later life, Ender's concept of hunting has always been hunting with guns or bows and arrows - in his previous life, he heard that bow hunting was still a very awesome behavior.

"Of course not. One arrow requires ten copper coins. It takes only one rabbit to sell a small silver coin. If we hunt with bows and arrows, we would have lost money long ago!"

(In this book, twenty copper coins are exchanged for one small silver coins, five small silver coins are worth one large silver coins, and ten large silver coins can only be exchanged for one gold coins.

In other words, if a copper coin is equivalent to one dollar, a rabbit is twenty yuan, and as a guard hunter, Ender has a monthly salary of two thousand yuan - this is not considered the hunter's extra money.)

"I tell you, except for those noble masters who have a lot of money and nowhere to use, ordinary people will not hunt with bows and arrows at all. These bows and arrows are only for self-defense." Xavier said with a smile.

The real hunter hunts is to look for animal paths in the forest, and then judge the species of beasts based on the traces left by the beasts, such as feces and hair, and set traps based on the beast's behavioral habits and walking routes.

After digging a trap (of course, it can also be a clip, a condom, etc., not necessarily a hole), the hunter can go home and sleep. From now on, just go to the trap every few days to see if there is prey.

If you really have to rely on two legs to track your prey, it will be difficult to catch up with it even if you don’t consider the danger of hunting.

You know, any rabbit can run sixty kilometers per hour, and what about people? Even if they run one hundred meters in ten seconds, they only need to run thirty-six kilometers per hour.

As for bow hunting, not everyone is a sharpshooter. As Xavier said just now, there are ten bronzes for an arrow and twenty bronzes for a rabbit. If it weren't for the sharpshooter who was hit every shot, the money for prey was not as much as the money for buying arrows, who would have done such a business?

Maybe it was because the old hunter Xavier was lonely for a long time, or maybe it was because the supper that Ender made was very good for his appetite, and the two of them chatted until very late.

Xavier told Ender many things to note about guarding hunters, what kind of traps to deal with animals, and the distribution of specialties in this forest area, etc.

It's great to be young, it would be great if I was as young as this child - Xavier thought so and fell asleep peacefully.

Usually, walking at night is more dangerous, but it depends on who walking at night. For those who are used to appearing in the dark, walking at night is common.

Under the bright moonlight, three figures came from afar.

"Is it here?" asked a low voice.

"Yes, this is Xavier's Hunter's Hunter's Cabin. Ender should be assigned here. Vito brought him here in the afternoon. But sir, can you really kill him?" another voice replied.

"Hmph! It's as easy as killing Ende, sir." The third voice sounded very familiar. Under the moonlight, the man's face was clearly visible, and it was the face of the little pickpocket Damon.

"End is not only a second-level warrior, but also a silver emblem shooter, very powerful; and Xavier, although he is old, it is not easy to deal with." The second man's voice was still a little hesitant.

"Brady, you are all here, is it useful to be careful?" Damon said impatiently.

"You two are waiting for me here." said a low voice.

"Yes, Lord Sean." Damon immediately bowed and answered.

Under the moonlight, Sean walked forward alone.

Step by step, suddenly, Damon and Brady's eyes flashed, and Sean's figure disappeared from their sight and disappeared.

"Ah, where is the person!" Brady shouted softly, wondering if he had seen a ghost. But he turned his head to look at Damon and found that he looked surprised. Brady knew that he was not dazzled.

"Damon, tell me honestly, who is this Lord Sean?" Brady turned around and asked.

"Who do you care about the adults? Anyway, it's the person you can't afford to offend!" Damon said angrily.

After running more than ten miles in the middle of the night, when he came here, Dimon certainly felt unhappy, and without permission, Dimon did not dare to tell Brady about the identity of this adult.

Shadow Assassin - After Sean Dortmund took over the mission from Defort Priligy, the first thing he did was to transfer several local pickpockets including Damon to his own hands.

Although there is no such thing as "knowing yourself and your enemy and winning every battle", no successful assassin depends entirely on brute force.

Through these local pickpockets, sorting out Ender's social relations, Sean Dortmund found Brady.

Brady was one of the people who competed for the position of patrol hunter this time, but he had no backstage, and no father who was patrol hunter, so when Ender performed better, he was eliminated without any suspense.

Every time Brady hunted, he would hand over one-third of his prey to the patrol hunter. He knew the rules of patrol hunter and the location of the hunter's hut.

And because Ender and Brady lost the opportunity to become a patrol hunter, his jealousy of Ender was extraordinary.
