Chapter 48: hunters and saints
Mellon didn't plan to hide from Mrs. Chelsea, but he had hacked to death a middle-aged wizard with swordsmanship not long ago.
After all, this matter had been seen by her daughter at the time, and now she is lying. After the mother and daughter went back, whenever they talked about the rescue process, they would inevitably mention this truth.
It's just that when Melon saw that Madam's expression suddenly became serious, he suspected that this ability... Maybe there is something else hidden?
"Tonight, there's a wizard chasing her, and, um..."
Mellen's answer was slightly hesitant, as if he didn't know what to say.
But it can also be understood as being frightened.
Ambiguous.
Mrs. Chelsea subconsciously understood Mellen's expression at the moment as the latter.
"Able to easily break through the wizard's protection by non-magical means, such people are called hunters. They are very united and generally organized."
Saying so, her serious expression softened.
"However, since he took action to save Eliza, it proves that the person was not in the enemy's camp, maybe just passing by."
It's really on the way...
Melon thought to himself when he heard the words, and asked curiously on the surface: "Hunter? Hunter?"
"It's someone who is good at hunting."
"Hunt what?"
"Witches, wizards, sirens, even gods."
The lady replied: "Or you can understand this profession as a person who kills."
"Sounds great?"
"Don't sound like they're really good."
"But, I haven't heard any news about it before..."
"Because this profession is almost extinct."
Madam said lightly: "Hunter training takes a very long time, and in the early stage, it is not much different from ordinary people."
"The emergence of firearms has given some junior hunters no advantage in front of ordinary people. As a result, the inheritance will naturally be difficult to continue."
Then, seeing Melun's curious expression, Madam thought for a while, then sat back on the sofa and decided to give him some popular science.
"The heyday of the hunter profession was a thousand years ago. At that time, the number of wizards was rare, and they were not the mainstream of the world. It can even be said that wizards were street rats in that era.
"sound…"
Mellen asked thoughtfully: "A bit like a product of the medieval church?"
This world also has the concept of "Middle Ages", which is probably classified as more than 3,000 years under the rule of the two major churches.
"That's right."
Mrs Chelsea nodded.
"The Church of the Evernight and the Church of the Sun God gave birth to many kinds of extraordinary professional systems during their rule, but the most famous are the knights and hunters."
"The former is responsible for guarding churches and temples around the world, while the latter is dedicated to hunting monsters and evil gods all over the world at that time. You can simply understand them as spears and shields in the hands of the church."
"However, since the magic tide has faded and the two major churches have fallen apart one after another, the two professions of hunter and knight have become increasingly rare."
"But rare doesn't mean it doesn't exist. If you encounter a hunter above the junior level who is your enemy, remember to run as far as you can."
"Is it so exaggerated?" Merron was surprised to hear that.
He doesn't think he's so good, does he? Is it because of lack of skills?
"The most famous hunter in the world is Granny Caesar. He is known as the Hand of God, the most trusted friend of Pope Chris VI, and the deputy commander of the contemporary Crusades."
Mrs. Chelsea said: "He has a lot of records, the most famous is that after the tower of the Abyss, the largest prison in the wizarding world, was captured ten years ago, he single-handedly killed nearly ten top wizarding fugitives and hundreds of sub-criminals. The International Association of Wizards has awarded the honorary vice-president position."
A "layman" was awarded the position of vice president of the industry by an insider...
Melon was stunned when he heard this, and felt that this fact was strange enough.
"There are about four or five hunters who are less famous than Caesar, and the most typical of them is a Practitioner named Guderian."
Mrs Chelsea continued: "He doesn't have many records, but his title is Godslayer."
"Did he kill God?"
"Corrigan, the **** of poison and disease, was awakened from his slumber by some of his crazy followers by spreading the plague a few years ago. As a result, he ran into Guderian who was passing by, so he was beaten back just after he woke up. into a slumber state."
"So, he's not a **** of slaughter, right?"
"Only if the believers die, the gods will fall completely."
Mrs Chelsea explained patiently:
"So although we will call those who defeat the gods slayers. But there are very few people in history who can really destroy gods, because no one has the time and energy to turn all the believers of a certain **** from all over the world. find out."
"Is that so..."
Melon heard the words clearly, and then asked curiously, "So, how did the hunter cultivate?"
"You actually already have their practice method."
"Breathing?"
"That's right, the end point of breathing practice is wizards, and hunters and knights are the extraordinary professions derived from this process."
"In this case, shouldn't wizards be stronger than hunters?"
"To be precise, the first-generation wizards who transformed themselves into wizards after practicing breathing to the extreme are better than hunters."
Mrs. Chelsea shook her head and said, "But the current wizards, including you and me, are all wizard talents inherited through bloodlines. Although their physical fitness is stronger than that of ordinary people, they are completely different from the first-generation wizards."
"So at the same stage, in terms of lethality alone, wizards can't compare to hunters."
"However, because of the lack of means, it is actually difficult for a hunter to completely kill a wizard. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"
Having said this, the lady's words paused and said:
"The breathing method I gave you before, when you enter the door one day, you can actually try to practice some hunter abilities, so that you will have a great advantage when facing wizards of the same level. "
"But isn't that breathing method for knight training?"
The topic is getting closer and closer to the "truth", and Mellen's heartbeat is racing.
"That's what makes it precious."
Madam said earnestly and earnestly: "That Sun Knight's breathing method is the core secret book of the Sun God Church. Don't take it as a third-rate book. It is very complicated. You must study it carefully at ordinary times, and you must not slack off."
Melun nodded obediently when he heard the words, and then asked casually, "Then, if you practice that breathing technique to the extreme, does it mean that the practitioner is actually qualified to become a top hunter?"
"That's the same as the first-generation wizards. They are called saints walking in the world. Not only are they powerful in hunting and killing, but the progress of the wizard's road will be very fast, far exceeding others."
The lady said, "Just like I told you before, it takes generations to accumulate a person to practice breathing to the extreme. After the initial explosion of saints, such people have become very rare."
"Even the hand of God, Caesar, has stopped at this last step. In our generation, it is estimated that no new saints will be born."
…
Here, the master and the apprentice are exchanging face-to-face matters related to breathing techniques.
Over there, Kevin, who was exhausted after a complicated night, spread out the book of secret words, reported the events of the evening to the elders, and then quietly waited for the other party's reply.
