Chapter 21: Don't stand still

My adoptive father is always working. Since the last meeting in May, in the blink of an eye, he has not been able to go home for another six months.

Marin searched for a long time on the map before he found the place called Pitts Harbor, which is in the northernmost part of the Union and the westernmost end of the northern defense line.

Further north, there is the area infected by Chaos. The former Ingmar Empire is now the land of Chaos. The Sidney Union, the Kalam Kingdom and the Ingmar Free Territory are maintained in the south, southeast and east respectively.

A defense against chaos.

Don't think that these three countries are struggling to survive. That was in the Middle Ages, and today with the development of science, the Sidney Alliance has even regained the former northernmost province. Now they are working hard with the other two countries to move towards

The advancement of the core area of ​​the Kingdom of Chaos - there is no drama of intrigues when victory is in sight, because facing chaos for thousands of years, all humans understand that now is not the time to negotiate and gain benefits.

The Free Territory of Ingmar is the last remnant of the former Ingmar Empire. It is said that they have reached an agreement with Sidney and Karam on the division of the land - the three southern provinces of the Ingmar Empire and the right to trade tax-free among the three countries.

It will be distributed to the two countries as a reward for regaining lost territory, uniting against Chaos, and eternal peace.

There is a contract witnessed by the true god. The former southern granary of the Ingmar Empire only needs to be purified before it can be used as a rear area. There will no longer be wars between the three countries. This is enough for the Sidney Alliance and the Kalam Kingdom to contribute their lives.

But from Marin's perspective, it's unclear how long this war will last.

Similarly, Marin doesn't know what his adoptive father is doing, and Maya often misses him, but overall, there is no problem under Marin's care.

After Marin prepared delicious sauces for Maya, the barbecue made by the leopard girl became more and more popular with everyone in the church, and Marin would feel more at ease if she could live in the church - No. 418 Calfa Avenue

Although the church's security has been further guaranteed after renovation, the experience of being invaded by invisible spirits still left Ma Lin with lingering fears.

Therefore, Marin did not want to send Maya back to that home until she learned to protect herself from the instructor.

Because apart from monsters, what Marin is most worried about is the unpredictable human heart.

Maya did not lose her temper, which made Marin very happy. Although Maya had the right to lose her temper at her age, this girl obeyed her adoptive father very much. When the old man entrusted her to Marin,

The little leopard obeyed Marin's words.

He is an obedient little leopard.

As the whispers in his ears became clearer and louder, Marin, who was leaning against the carriage window, withdrew his attention from his memories and also noticed that the carriage had entered the western district of the city.

"I heard whispers." Marin turned to look at Colin.

The latter was wearing the Serenity Headband. Hearing this, he glanced at Marin and said, "You are really good at dealing with this kind of opponent."

"I'm better at controlling this kind of monster." Marin replied with a smile - this time the mission was accepted by a team of newcomers. It was said that there was a supernatural phenomenon at 399 Carmen Avenue in the west of the city. Since no one was killed, the guild said

Bian issued a mission and prepared for the newcomers to conduct a comprehensive investigation to see what type of monster it was.

This kind of task is very simple, even if Marin is asked to do it, there will be no problem, but the problem is... something happened.

There were whispers in the small half of the city's west block near the south of the city. The life and death of the witcher who took over the mission was unknown. Seventeen residents nearby were killed and fifty-nine injured. At the most dangerous time, there were even monsters on the streets.

Fortunately, the weather cleared up at the most dangerous moment, and the spirits quickly got back into the house.

Therefore, the church could only dispatch personnel, and considering that Marin had a unique advantage in fighting finely controlled spirits, Colin decided to bring Marin with him.

Although their teacher was a little worried, after careful consideration, he decided to let Marin go to the scene.

For this time, Marin can get a basic attendance fee of 200 yuan for a four-star mission, and then additional rewards will be given based on the difficulty of the event.

There were already church personnel waiting on the roadside. They had prepared all supplies and equipment. Marin jumped out of the car and followed Colin to the dressing area.

"Malfoy, what's the latest situation?" Colin asked the person in charge while taking off his robes.

"The situation is not good. The magic circle that is immune to whispers has been working. The measured value is at three, a level that is more dangerous but not worth dispatching high-level demon hunters. It should not be fishing-type strength, because two minutes ago

A newcomer ran out from there." The person in charge turned around and whistled at the team members surrounding him.

So the team members carried a young man sitting on a chair over.

Marin is putting on an earth dragon skin stab-proof soft leather breastplate for himself - this soft leather breastplate is very soft and will not hinder any movement. At the same time, it can also protect against the claws of a large number of monsters.

, is a very reliable piece of equipment.

He glanced at the newcomer and found that his eyes were completely distracted, so he took the helmet and put it on his head, then put the flashlight on the left holder of the helmet: "This man has been scared out of his mind!" He was saying.

As he spoke, Marin picked up the revolver on the table and pointed it at the newcomer. When everyone was still confused, they saw the newcomer suddenly holding his head with both hands and starting to scream.

It was an inhuman scream, with great intensity. There was no need to explain this time. Marin pulled the trigger and the bullet penetrated the newcomer's head.

"How did you feel that there was something wrong with him?" Colin let go of his hand at this time, and he looked at Marin after he almost had his eardrum broken.

Marin pursed his lips: "When he came over, his whispering started to get louder. At first I thought it was an external problem, until I noticed that his eyes turned red."

"I didn't notice his eyes." The guy named Malfoy said.

"My personal suggestion is that all surviving citizens need to undergo a complete test." Marin buckled the armed belt around his waist, then loaded the revolver in his hand and put it into the holster: "Colin

, we need reinforcements, our opponent is a big problem."

"Well, let's release the homing pigeons." Colin nodded. Although Marin is young, he still has a great advantage in identifying monsters - because he can completely confirm the identity of the enemy in previous tests and tests.

.

Colin even said that Marin's talent in this area is even more powerful than some professional "investigators".

Marin could only smile shyly at this - the world was still lagging behind in investigating monsters, and the notebook in Marin's hand that recorded the information about monsters he knew was better than the witcher's own memorization to a certain extent.

Memorizing it is easy.

A good memory is worse than a bad pen.

After completing the equipment, Colin decided to conduct a reconnaissance outside the site.

Since he wasn't going to rush in first, Marin followed and took a look.

At one glance, Marin regretted it - the entire 399 Carmen Avenue was now surrounded by police cordons. It would be fine if it was just a simple surround, but the problem is that now all the windows of the three-story building of 399 are full of people.

Green turns black.

In this case, not to mention Marin, even ten Colins can't do anything about it.

"Things are more troublesome than we thought. We must abort the mission this time and summon a higher-level witcher." Colin is not a fool. Monsters of this difficulty are no longer something they can solve, but the problem is solved by them.

.

So reinforcements were summoned here, and Marin and Colin led their people to retreat a certain distance. Some of the witchers who came with reinforcements were already building street forts, so everyone retreated into the street forts.

"I have never seen anything like this." Malfoy glanced at the small building and said, "Colin, is this a sign of a wave of monsters?"

"How do I know, but it shouldn't be. Judging from the time, it hasn't arrived yet." Colin shook his head and replied seriously: "I would rather regard this incident as an isolated outbreak. After all, except for

In addition to the tide of spirits, it is quite common for small-scale explosive tides of spirits to appear due to gaps in the plane."

Then Colin began to add knowledge to Marin: "If a dark green light like this appears in any neighborhood, it represents an isolated outbreak of a wave of monsters. The monsters that emerge from the gaps in the plane are both race and quality.

, will exceed your imagination. The only good news is that the gap is very unstable. The more dangerous the monsters passing through the gap, the greater the fluctuations will be. It only takes a few to make the gap close due to overload."

This is new information, and Marin has never obtained it from his mentor.

So he listened with great interest, and Colin also spoke vividly, letting Marin know the characteristics of the isolated outbreak of the monster tide - it is extremely dangerous. There are only a few signs in advance to confirm the formation of the gap. If you are not good at interacting with planes,

It is even harder to detect changes in the extraordinary professions we deal with, so this is a very terrifying event.

Entire neighborhoods may even be massacred because of this. Of course, this does not mean that there are no accidents and surprises - for example, thirty years ago in the United Kingdom of Sidney, a plane gap sent thousands of goblins from the Southern Islands over.

.

It is said that there were many and big gaps opened that time, and all the extraordinary professions in the royal capital were ready for a fight to the death. As a result, thousands of little goblins jumped out from inside, allowing the big shots who were ready to fight to the death for the first time.

I felt what it means to exert too much force - that day, a ninety-year-old extraordinary person died suddenly because he was too excited when the gap opened. This was the only casualty of the gap opening.

Having said that, in addition to humans, there are many different alien races in this world. In addition to elves and dwarves, goblins are such a very interesting civilized alien race. They have civilized and enlightened ideas. They are different from humans and are alien races.

Individual fairies are about 20 centimeters tall. They are natural mages, and their overflowing magic power will gather on their human wings into fairy powder, which is a very important alchemy material.

It is said that the king of the union spent a lot of money to recover these goblins and sent them back to the Southern Islands. Out of gratitude, the goblins granted the Royal Chamber of Commerce of His Majesty Morvais the exclusive right to trade goblin powder in human areas.

Moreover, these goblins have also established a chamber of commerce in Sidney. In addition to selling the healing potions made by the goblins, they are also responsible for selling rare materials collected from the outer planes by elven creatures who are friendly to the goblins.

Therefore, the gap is like a six-chamber revolver stuffed with five bullets. You never know what will fly out of the gun you are about to pull the trigger on.

"If possible, I suggest you stay as far away from this kind of incident as possible before Step 5." Colin made his final statement.
Chapter completed!
