Time passed day by day.
Du Dian's scattering skills are getting more and more proficient, and he has been able to quickly draw arrows and shoot at four targets at the same time. From the first time he learned scattering to the present, it only took him half a month.
The young instructor was very happy to see Du Dian's astonishing progress, and then taught Du Dian other hunter skills one after another, namely "lurking", "tracking", and "crossbow".
"Latent" includes how to eliminate the sound of one's own actions, cover up the smell, and quickly change positions.
In addition to using walking corpse powder to cover up the smell outside the wall, there are many other things that can be used, such as plant juice, rotting mud, or crushed insect corpses, etc., which can replace walking corpse powder. After all, some monsters prefer to hunt walking corpses. If they blindly smear walking corpse powder, they will be courting death. At the same time, reducing the secretion of sweat glands can also reduce the diffusion of odor.
As for eliminating the sound of action and changing positions quickly, it is much more difficult, requiring the precise control and quick reflexes of exercising the body.
And "tracking" is to judge the whereabouts of monsters based on footprints, traces of monster actions, etc., which is a knowledge class. After all, not all hunters have the ability to perceive magic marks.
"Crossbow" is only used when hunting large monsters or destroying demon lairs. According to the young instructor, junior hunters only need to master one of "Bow" and "Crossbow". When you are an intermediate hunter, you will learn the "Heavy Crossbow Art". Once you master the Heavy Crossbow Art, your lethality will increase several times, and you will also have the ability to fight in close combat.
Once the enemy is close, use the heavy crossbow to shoot them back to gain more attack time.
After all, the essence of a hunter lies in the control of distance!
"With enough distance, there are enough opportunities to attack!" This is what the young instructor repeatedly emphasized to Du Dian, let him keep in mind.
Du Dian studied hard, and also realized that in the past three hundred years of development, the hunter profession in the wall has long been perfected and differentiated extremely meticulously.
During the hunter training, Du Dian took the time to visit the Jula couple, and saw that they had moved to a new house in the commercial area and found their own jobs in the small town. Jula worked in the medical center, eight hours a day, working Stablize. The same is true for Gray. He works in a tailor shop in a small town with a stable income and easy work. He is much happier than in the factory before. He does not need to work overtime every day, and occasionally takes vacations, and his salary is at least double that of before.
Du Dian saw that their lives had stabilized, and he was no longer worried.
A month later, he took the time to return to the slums and found Barton, Kruen and others. After not seeing him for so long, they had already found a remote abandoned factory, which was already desolate because it was too remote, so they also saved Instead of spending money to buy it, he bought a batch of building materials, cleaned out the old factory, and repaired the walls and many broken workbenches.
Du Dian thought that they had gone their separate ways after seeing each other for so long, but he didn't expect that they were still busy with the things he explained. He was moved and trusted them more and more.
"Here is a hundred gold coins." The main purpose of Du Dian's return this time is to let them collect materials, and said: "This is a list of materials. You can buy them here and pile them up here. The weight is written on it."
Patton and others looked at the large bag of gold coins that Du Dian was carrying, their eyes glowed with a strong light, swallowing their saliva, Patton said: "Di, Dean, where did you get the money, why are you so much?"
"I got it desperately, otherwise how can I come?" Du Dian smiled slightly.
Barton and the others looked at each other, thinking so too. Kruen looked at the list, his face flushed, and he said, "Dean, here, there are some words on this that we don't understand."
Du Dian came to his senses, thought for a while, and said: "How about this, you read books first, and then drop out of school and come out to work with me after you know more words."
"But the tuition fee..." Barton hesitated.
Kroon touched him immediately.
Du Dian said with a smile: "Of course I will cover the tuition fees. The money will be put here with you first, and you will distribute it yourself."
Although one hundred gold coins is a large amount, it is nothing to him now. Moreover, he also wants to quickly cultivate Barton and others, first of all, the ability to manage money and restrain the desire for money.
If they run away with a hundred gold coins, Du Dian can withdraw early.
Hearing Du Dian's words, the eyes of several people were shining, and they were very excited.
Just as Barton showed joy, he suddenly hesitated again and said, "If we lose so much money, it's..."
"It depends on your ability." Du Dian smiled.
Several people looked at each other with solemn expressions.
After having lunch with a few people, Du Dian returned to the business district by car. In his heart, he was somewhat worried. Although Barton and others were alert and clever, they were still too young and needed to be cultivated. He also has to prepare a retreat for himself.
Next, in addition to the boring hunter training day after day, Du Dian will go to the trial office to report once a month, so as not to be disqualified as a trainee priest.
Every time he passes by, Du Dian will see Jenny. Every time he chatted with this girl, Du Dian would feel in a good mood, just like finding another self. He found that Jenny was completely different from other noble girls, she was not powerful at all, and her personality was very easy-going. He talked about his ideals almost everything, and was very speculative.
Later, Du Dian came to the court more and more often, sometimes three to four times a month, or even more.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed.
In front of the trial house on Puth Avenue, Du Dian came out and looked at the gray sky. It is the black snow season, the air is extremely cold, and the particles in the thick radiation cloud block the sunlight. Even during the day, the weather It is also gray, and black snowflakes will fall from time to time, falling on the houses and streets, shocking passers-by to avoid them in a hurry.
Black snow, like disaster rain, is an existence that people can't avoid.
"It's so windy outside!" Jenny, who came out from behind, tightened her fleece, and her rosy face suddenly faded.
Seeing her pale face, Du Dian felt a little pity in his heart, took off his coat, put it on her shoulders, and asked, "Is it still cold?"
Jenny was a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Put it on quickly, you will freeze to death."
"I'm not cold." Du Dian smiled warmly in his heart.
"You can lie!" Jenny bit her lower lip, and suddenly there was a layer of mist in her eyes, and she said, "It was the same when it rained last time. She helped me to cover the rain, but she got wet and fell ill the next day."
Du Dian was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that she still remembered this incident. It was already three months ago. It was the black dead season, the temperature was extremely high, and there was little rain. It happened to be the day when Jenny was on vacation. He went out for a walk together, but in the middle of the walk, it suddenly rained. He didn't expect that with his own physique, he would catch a cold after being drenched in the rain. It can be seen that even with the physique of a hunter, he had to stay away from this disaster.
"Why are you being so nice to me?" Jenny grabbed Du Dian's clothes and looked up at him.
Du Dian looked at her glittering eyes, his heart was warm, and he couldn't help saying: "Because I like you!" After finishing speaking, I felt my heartbeat stopped for a moment, and the whole world seemed to quiet down instantly. Regret, but more tension and anticipation.
Jenny didn't expect Du Dian to confess his love suddenly, she froze for a moment, her cheeks flushed immediately, she lowered her head, and said softly like a mosquito: "I like you too."
Du Dian's sense of hearing suddenly felt like his brain was exploding, endless joy flooded into his mind, the blood in his whole body seemed to be boiling, and he felt that the cold wind outside was as warm as a spring breeze, and he said in surprise: "Really? "
Seeing Du Dian's excited and joyful appearance, Jenny's cheeks became redder, but she didn't avoid it, and gave a soft "hmm".
Du Dian suddenly felt unprecedented happiness, as if surrounded by the whole world, he hugged the girl tightly in his arms, smelling the faint fragrance of the other's hair, his heart was full of emotion.
After a long time, the two separated.
"I'll take you back." Du Dian said happily.
The blush on Jenny's face did not fade, and she nodded slightly.
Du Dian looked at the carriages and knights waiting for Jenny on the street in the distance, with a smile in his eyes, and said, "But we have to make a detour." After speaking, he took Jenny's hand, went around and left secretly.
Jenny blushed more and more, and followed closely behind him.
That night, Du Dian sent Jenny to the castle, and returned to her residence after she entered the castle. She was very excited along the way, wishing to punch a few times in the carriage, or find a bow and arrow immediately, and shoot thousands of arrows in succession.
Half a month later.
In the library of Puth Avenue Judgment House, Jenny is sorting books, which is her job as a trainee priest. Du Dian is also here, standing on the ladder, helping her to hand the sorted books to the bookshelf.
After sorting out the classified books, Du Dian got off the ladder and whispered to Jenny: "I have a surprise for you, close your eyes first."
"Huh?" Jenny was puzzled, but when she saw Du Dian smiling all over her face, she still closed her eyes slowly, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and she was extremely beautiful under the faint rays of light above her head.
Du Dian was so excited, he took something out of his pocket and put it in front of her eyes, saying, "You can open it now."
Jenny opened her eyes, and immediately saw a string of jadeite bracelets, she said pleasantly, "How do you know that I like jadeite?"
"You mentioned it two months ago." Du Dian smiled.
Jenny took the jade bracelet, and when she heard Du Dian's words, her body trembled slightly, and suddenly she tiptoed and quickly kissed Du Dian's cheek.
Du Dian was stunned, covered his face, and then his heart was beating wildly, and the blood in his whole body accelerated.
Jenny blushed and lowered her head.
Du Dian looked at her excitedly, just about to hug her, suddenly his face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Someone is here."
Jenny was also taken aback, she hurriedly put away the bracelet, turned around and quickly tidied up the books.
Du Dian grabbed the ladder and tried to adjust the angle.
After a while, a young priest came, glanced at Du Dian and the two, and said, "Do you know where the "History of the Rule of Law of Slaves" is?"
Du Dian raised his hand and pointed, "It's on that bookshelf."
"Oh, thanks." The young man turned his head and said casually, leaving here.
Du Dian and Jenny looked at each other and smiled at each other.
…
…
In the old castle of the Bloom family.
In one of the very spacious and luxurious rooms, there are two rows of tall bookshelves filled with books, next to some antique porcelain and sculptures, and rare oil paintings on the wall, sitting on the sofa at the moment The middle-aged figure was flipping through a book in his hand, and said to the middle-aged housekeeper in front of him, "I heard that the young lady got very close to a trainee priest recently?"
Hearing his flat tone, the middle-aged butler felt a little panicked, and said, "Yes, master."
"Let me investigate the other party's background." The middle-aged figure said indifferently.
"Yes." The middle-aged housekeeper quickly agreed.
…
…
In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.
On Moss Street, Du Dian stood by the side of the street, waiting patiently. Suddenly, a familiar smell floated into his nose, making his eyes light up.
After a while, I saw an exquisite carriage galloping towards the end of the street and stopped in front of Du Dian.
Jenny jumped out of the carriage, threw herself into Du Dian's arms, and said happily: "I tell you some good news, do you want to hear it?"
Du Dian straightened her body and said with a smile, "What's the matter?"
"It's a great thing!" Jenny blinked, her face couldn't restrain the excitement, and said: "My father agrees that we are together."
"Agreed?" Du Dian was a little surprised. Before Jenny's father knew that he was with Jenny, he sent someone to ask him to leave. It was a threat and a lot of money to lure him, but he refused to accept it and didn't agree.
Due to his status as a trainee priest, the other party did not use arbitrary methods, and the matter was left alone.
Now that it has been so long, the other party has agreed
Seeing Du Dian's suspicious expression, Jenny nodded vigorously, and said: "My father said that he rejected you before, not because he disliked you as a commoner, but because he was worried that you were useless, neither a priest nor a good hunter, so , He said that this time he will personally arrange a hunting mission for you, and if you can complete it, he will agree that we will be together!"
"Arrange hunting missions for me personally?" Du Dian frowned slightly, feeling something wrong in his heart. His identity as a hunter had already been known by the other party. If he hadn't been protected by the identity of a trainee priest, he would have been forcibly dismantled by the other party. .
Seeing Du Dian's worried expression, Jenny smiled and said, "Don't worry, my father said that I will never assign you a task that is too difficult. However, I don't know what the task is. If you find it difficult, you can follow the I said, if my father made things difficult on purpose, hehe, see if I don't settle accounts with him!"
"Well." Du Dian nodded, hoping so.
