With Hessiana's reluctant farewell (mainly aimed at Vivian), the group left the shelter. The real Athens outside was still sunny, prosperous and peaceful, and no one would have thought that in the shadow of this seemingly peaceful city
What a thrilling battle there was. The demon hunters have not completely evacuated the city. After the ancient ones desperately expelled them from the sanctuary, some demon hunters established some new strongholds in the city. These
The stronghold will probably be maintained for more than a hundred years to monitor and suppress the development of the Shadow Sanctuary. However, it is impossible for the witchers to break in for the time being - the shadow medium has been restarted, and the witchers' casualties in this operation are also small.
Small, now it is no longer possible for them to mobilize a mighty army composed of churches and exorcists to wipe out a certain area like in the mythical era. In addition, they also have to monitor alien activities in other areas of the world, like today
Such large-scale operations are not easy to organize.
Just like Hesiana said, everything will continue as before, it's just that a new batch of dead souls have been added.
Because they were worried about being discovered by the demon hunters in Athens, the group did not stay any longer, but directly completed the formalities and boarded the flight back. However, this time there was an extra person in the group: Hesperus was traveling with them.
"Are you sure you can dispel the demon hunter's power?" Hesperius was still a little doubtful of Hao Ren's promise. She followed the group of people to leave Athens because of Vivian's guarantee, but after a while
Thinking that the hole in her head had been suffering for thousands of years, she felt that this was not very reliable.
Hao Ren looked at the gorgeous ribbon on Hesperius' head and smiled confidently: "Don't worry, we have professional equipment here."
Hao Ren's offer to help Hesperus heal his injuries was not a whim. In fact, he wanted to take this opportunity to study something.
Hao Ren has always been interested in the power of demon hunters. He heard some things about demon hunter training from Nangong Wuyue and Nangong Sanba, and found many doubts: the training of demon hunters is more complicated.
Most of it is to cultivate their character and knowledge about "monsters". In fact, most of their various skills and magic are not acquired through training. These powers come from talent, and a new demon hunter has these from birth.
Things. Whether it is exorcism power or space teleportation, or even those complex spells, these things that according to common sense should be mastered through acquired learning are actually the result of genetics. It is for this reason that the demon hunter is a
A group of people who attach great importance to "talent", a new demon hunter with excellent blood and strong talent will receive extremely special care, because as long as they grow up healthily, their power can far exceed those of hard-working people with mediocre qualifications.
——This sounds unfair, but it is a characteristic that has remained unchanged for tens of thousands of years.
This fact caused Hao Ren to have great doubts about the demon hunter race. He wanted to study this aspect. Now it happened that Hesperus had a thousand-year-old brain hole in his head. He was a man with pure blood and excellent talent.
Nothing is more suitable for study than the samples of power left by early demon hunters.
Of course, Hao Ren also took away many other research specimens from the Shadow Sanctuary: some witcher blood, hair and tissue samples, weapons. There are also body strengthening potions commonly used by witchers. These things were taken out from the portable space
It can occupy at least two floors of bookshelves. Before leaving, Hesiana was still muttering that Hao Ren finally did something related to human wizards - he started to be interested in corpses...
Hao Ren doesn't think this is something that makes people happy. With so many annoying gadgets stuffed into the portable space, he feels horrified even when walking. Moreover, Doudou's protest is quite serious: the little guy is also in the portable space.
There was a pile of debris next to her fish tank, and the little guy felt that his sea view room was seriously threatened. So Hao Ren had to put a circle of SpongeBob SquarePants pictures around Doudou's fish tank...
I don’t need to go into details about the journey, anyway, I basically spent it in Lily’s balabala. The last group of people landed at a remote small airport, changed to an airport bus and ran to the city. Then they changed to a shabby bus and ran to the south of the city, and then another one
Even worse buses ran to the southern suburbs, and the bus in the middle was broken down. A group of people had to trek for twenty minutes through the desolate and old streets to get home. Hesperius had seen strong winds and waves, and it was quite heavy along the way.
Hold on, any girl with a normal worldview would have started to suspect that Hao Ren was a trafficker who specializes in selling women to mountainous areas and started planning to call the police. Finally, when the Hao family's old house finally appeared in front of everyone, Hesperus
Then he took a long breath: "Fortunately... I thought I was going to live in a cave..."
Hao Ren's eyebrows stood up: "What did you imagine my family to be?"
There was no joking at all on Hesperius's face: "Don't mind, I'm not being sarcastic - I know a lot of human wizards who live in caves. They behave strangely and like to do some very dangerous research. There are many people.
The place won’t let them stay at all. But these days there are fewer and fewer wizards..."
"Because the witcher strangles too hard?"
Vivian spread her hands next to her: "Because the tourism industry is so developed, the diggers are becoming more and more cruel. It is impossible to stay in the mountains these days. Last year, there was a wizard in Zhejiang who was doing experiments in a cave.
He was half blown to death—and now he’s still in a lawsuit with the owner of the quarry.”
Hesperius sighed: "Those who can't hide themselves these days are basically dead."
Hao Ren thought for a long time and felt that the main reason why those wizards couldn't survive was that their thinking was not active enough - as long as they used the time they spent on magic to study how to make money, they would have no shortage of holes to work as coal bosses in Shanxi.
, if it doesn’t work out, you can still go to Shennongjia to challenge the limits of the human body!
Of course, what happened to the wizard had nothing to do with his group of people. Hao Ren quickly put the matter behind him and led a group of people back to the big house where he had been away for a long time. As expected, there was a cloud of dust accumulated in the house.
But it was much better than the last time I went to another world for more than half a month. Vivian started to clean up the house while busy, and even Betsy came to help. Hesperus looked at Vivian in surprise.
An looked so busy and asked, "Is this where you usually live?"
"How's it going? It's pretty good!" Vivian had just found a rag and was about to pick up the water and wipe the table. After hearing this, she proudly showed off to Hesperius, "The living conditions now are much better than before!"
Hesperius didn't know what he was thinking, but he just looked at Vivian with a strange expression: "...It's not quite what I imagined, but in short it's indeed much better than I imagined. It seems that you are satisfied with this life now.
Quite satisfied?"
"Of course I'm satisfied. It's very peaceful and lively. I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and fun things often happen. It's much better than running around in a muddleheaded way before," Vivian replied while busy, and then started yelling in the water room.
, "Hey...why did the water stop?"
"Maybe the pipes are frozen," Nangong Wuyue ran to the water room covered in water vapor, "Don't panic, I'm here to help! What kind of water do you want? Pure or mineral? Weak alkaline will do too..."
Hao Ren quickly reminded from behind: "Be quiet! You almost flooded the kitchen last time! By the way, give Doudou a bath..."
Hesperius looked at the daily life of this family in amazement. The daily scene of this small "sanctuary" was obviously different from what she had imagined. There were no intrigues in the Shadow Fortress, no layers of agencies, and a large group of various races.
The aliens mingled together without fighting. This place didn't feel like a shelter at all to her, but more like an ordinary... ordinary people's home.
Hao Ren's voice interrupted her thinking: "What, are you tired? If you are not, let's go to the basement for a scan first, and I will make a treatment plan for you."
Just as Hesperus nodded, he heard Lily say from the side with a serious face: "?"
Hao Ren slapped the husky on the head: "Can't you read something with positive content? By the way, you should come and help me. I see you are idle anyway."
Hesperus followed him to the basement in a daze, but was stunned when he saw the scene inside.
"Are you...confirmed that you are a wizard?" She glared at Hao Ren, "You'd better tell me the treatment plan first so that I can be mentally prepared." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better updates of novels.
