Mystique:Demon Hunter

By the Hoi River, two young men stood face to face, both remaining silent.

After a long time, an old voice asked hesitantly:

"What you just said was a demigod of the Thief Path?"

"Yes, up to three months, presented by a demigod from the Thief Path."

Gawain smiled and said:

"Don't worry, old gentleman, I know what you are worried about.

"This demigod of thieves is absolutely clean and will not be contaminated by messy things like broken glasses."

Pales fell silent, not knowing how to answer the question.

After a while, he finally said with some difficulty:

"What I want to ask is, as an Beyonder on the warrior path, how do you distinguish...those things?"

Gawain said without hesitation: "I can ask the Mother Goddess to witness."

Having said this, Pales naturally would not continue to question it, nor did he say anything like "The Earth Mother Goddess is not absolutely reliable either."

After all, the person in front of him was a person favored by God.

What is the difference between questioning the gods that the other person believes in in front of a person favored by God, and scolding his eighteen generations of ancestors in front of a person?

What he didn't know was that in Gawain's view, the relationship between himself and the Earth Mother Goddess was more about investing and being invested.

To say how much he believes in the Mother Goddess of the Earth is unrealistic, and asking him to devote himself wholeheartedly to her is naturally even more nonsense.

After all, for these time-travelers, those so-called gods cannot actually bring them much awe.

If it were a conceptual god, that would be somewhat better. As for a personal god, forget it.

Pales pondered for a while and said:

"There is no need to ask Mother Earth to witness, I still believe in the credibility of the God's Favored Ones.

"I would like to ask one more question, what is the specific situation of that demigod?"

Gawain sighed and said:

"Speaking of this demigod, she really committed such a heinous crime that death would not be a pity."

"Oh? How come death is not enough?" Pales answered the question very cooperatively.

"This demigod bewitched an innocent girl and turned her on the path of a thief, without telling her the dangers of the extraordinary world."

Gawain said with a heavy tone, his words full of pity for the girl.

"What's wrong with the Thief's Path?" Leonard asked with some confusion.

"Hey, a demigod of the Thief Path has trained an Extraordinary of the Thief Path, how can she have any good intentions?" Pales sneered.

"Old man, I don't quite understand." Leonard said doubtfully.

"Old sir, do you mind if I explain it to him?" Gawain asked.

"It doesn't matter." Pales replied calmly.

Gao Wen cleared his throat and said:

“The four in the sequence of the Thief Path are ‘parasites’. They can parasitize in the bodies of other extraordinary people.

"And the parasitized Extraordinary people will gradually become their nutrients, thus extending their lives."

Leonard listened and suddenly felt something was wrong. He said with some anger:

"Old man, it turns out you are a 'parasite'"

Pales said calmly: "You can say that."

"Then what exactly do you want to do? Parasitize my body and absorb my life? Or wait for me to become stronger and directly swallow my extraordinary characteristics, just like cultivating a humanoid potion?" Leonard said angrily

.

Pales' slightly old voice said with a smile:

"I am your adventure, haven't you always thought so? I think I am unique and the protagonist of this era.

"Actually, you are not as arrogant or arrogant as you usually show. You are always wary of me.

"After I taught you the 'acting method', you didn't try to explore it carefully. You just tried it very simply and superficially, and it took a long time to digest it.

"And you also deliberately concealed your digestion progress and did not actively pursue the 'Nightmare' potion."

Gawain looked at the fun show in front of him with a smile on his face and did not interrupt them.

"Yes, I am indeed wary of you, but how can I completely trust a soul of unknown origin?" Leonard retorted confidently.

"Yes, it is necessary to remain vigilant in the extraordinary world.

"But Leonard, if I really hurt your thoughts, then why did I let this kid tell you this information and not stop it?" Pales asked in return.

Leonard was suddenly speechless. He looked at the smiling young man in front of him, and his somewhat rapid breathing slowly calmed down due to the anger and fear in his heart.

Pales continued:

"As for you saying that I absorb your life, do you feel that you are older than your real age?

"No, I can live for at least 100 years, and I am not eager to take possession of your life.

"As for your extraordinary characteristics, hey, we are not in a similar way that can replace them.

"If I swallow it, it is equivalent to drinking poison. I will become half crazy and increase the probability of losing control.

‘Night’, ‘Giant’, and ‘Death’ are adjacent pathways, and the Extraordinary Path I am on targets ‘Apprentice’ and ‘Soothsayer’.”

After calming down, Leonard thought for a while and asked: "Then what is your purpose?"

Pales said with some regret:

"I suffered a serious trauma, and I need a host to recover slowly.

"And I have to avoid a terrible enemy. You are the Nighthawk of the Church of the Night Goddess, so you are a good choice for parasitism."

Leonard asked with some confusion: "Who is your enemy?"

"This is not something you should know now." Pales stopped him from asking.

"That means that the demigod Anduin mentioned cultivated that girl just to devour her in the future?" Leonard asked, remembering the topic just now.

"Of course, how can a demigod not have starting formulas of other sequences in his hand? Why did he let that girl take the path of a thief?" Pales said disdainfully.

"Then she's quite damned." Leonard frowned and said.

"Both of you, have we already talked about it?" Gawain said with a smile.

"Hey, I just realized now that the topic has always been in your hands." Pales said with some dissatisfaction.

"Look at what you said, isn't this also to make our cooperation more intimate?" Gawain said with an unchanging smile.

He stretched out his right hand and said with a smile: "So, deal?"

"make a deal."

...

On the way back, Leonard asked in his mind:

"Old man, why do you think Anduin asked us to do this favor?"

"I seem to have guessed a little bit." Pales thought for a while and replied.

"What is it?" Leonard asked curiously.

"You don't trust me, why should I tell you?" Pales said in a leisurely tone.

Leonard:......
