Hunter of the Perished World

[143] City of Dusk (1)

The guardians of the Twilight Bridge hunt monsters as if they violated the doctrine head-on. But it was also necessary.

That's why the area of the Twilight Brigades, which was almost unarmed, could not be stopped. Unless you're as far away from Twilight City as you've ever been to the neighborhood of Sorwin, there won't be a monster collapse.

”It is imperative that we unite ourselves without fighting monsters, and that there be no more hostile monsters where monster killing is permitted under the worst circumstances. I can't live with that. “

That's why the Twilight Cult creates a group of hunters who betray doctrines to kill monsters. This is how the Twilight Cult expanded its teachings.

Once the gospel has cleared the area, the High Septon will lead the people there to form a colony. In this way, the Twilight Bridge has expanded its territory.

Lamfil kicks his tongue.

”The doctrine of harmony with monsters seems deadly. As a result, if the Church were to expand, it would be impossible to cover it with that group of guardians called the Gospels. Better to revise the doctrine. “

”The doctrine of harmony and hostility with monsters has been troublesome to Oracle for generations. But doctrine is not the law. Religion rules the mind, so we can't change our doctrines. Then you will hear that the current Oracle is a heretic. “

All problems are known only when circumstances arise. There was no gospel from the beginning. After establishing the doctrine of life in harmony with monsters, a great number of things have happened that have been destroyed by hostile monsters.

In the end, the Twilight Bridge was forced to build a hunting party of guardians to wipe out the hostile monsters from the forest.

The ultimate goal of the Twilight Bridge is to stop fighting. However, the need for a fight to expand the church already suggests that the Twilight Brigades will eventually face a permanent fight.

The conclusion is simple.

”So, the Twilight Bridge is a failed religion. “

The most important doctrine of not attacking monsters is revised, and the dusk bridge will never leave this region of Southeast Asia unless people accept it. The head of the Twilight Bridge is already deceiving the Christians.

The Twilight Bridge faced the limits of growth. The Twilight Brigades could never escape this contradictory situation unless internal innovation or a disruptive leader appeared.

Gene takes the matter to heart, as if he wasn't interested in such things.

”The point is that the Twilight Cult is more passionate about hunting than the hunters. “

In order to protect the Christians who are not afraid of monsters, the Twilight Bridge headquarters had to raise their heat to the point of killing hostile monsters. And the desperation they felt about hunting was more or less than what the hunter worshippers regarded as sacred.

”I mean, no matter where you go in the Twilight Bridge area, Twilight City, the Twilight Bridge headquarters, is full of workload for hunters. “

”It's really strange.... “

The place where the hunter couldn't even breathe was a place for the hunter. There are no other hunters, of course. But the Twilight Cult actually wants more hunters than anyone else. But no hunter dares to go to the headquarters of the Twilight Bridge.

But what if Jean goes now? And what if we come into contact with the Twilight Brigade chief?

Allows you to keep a garage full of work. There is only a quest for Jin Bay.

”And they don't use chips. That's why the gospel chips are being put to sleep at the Twilight Bridge. “

There are as many chips asleep as there have been during the history of the twilight bridge, and they don't consume them.

Tell me what. Leona whispers in secret.

”So the job is rotten and they're surprisingly rich? “

That's why I told this long story. Unlike people's universal perceptions, the Twilight Brigades are a hunter's paradise if you can only meet the top brass.

”That's right.“

Leona and Jean grin, looking at each other. It was so similar to each other that Ramfil had to look at them and laugh.

The treatment in this area was nothing, but the group was satisfied enough to sleep in a dangerous sleep on a raft and stay homeless in the middle of the jungle and rest on the roof and walls.

“ ……. ”

Of course, Leona held their morning prayers as promised. Leona is just standing there because she doesn't know anything, and people kneel down all around her, praying hard, and even the synagogue kneels before her.

Leona is still surrounded by flares, which makes her even more divine, but she still feels nauseous.

Leona was a target of hatred and persecution.

However, I didn't think it was such a pleasant thing to be followed.

“May the grace of the Prophet protect us.... ”

In a low murmur of prayer, Leona glanced at Gin and Ramfil watching from a distance and said with her eyes:

I knew this place was weird! ’

Of course, Gene only laughed in relief.

After the prayer, the group leaves Rodon's quarters immediately. It didn't have to be because we worked hard to get to the Twilight Bridge for a day or two, but the residents of Rhodeon handed over food and other items to the group.

“A vat filled with palm oil. ”

“It's water. It's distilled overnight, so feel free to drink it.... ”

“It's Toran. You can boil it and eat it alive.... ”

“A rope twisted around a plant trunk. In case you need it... ”

“This is my favorite doll! It's really precious, but I'll give it to the prophet... ”

“Y-you don't have to give me that! ”

Leona leaps nervously as she tries to hand over the woodwork. Jean's party has a lot of tributes at their feet (?).

“That's too much. ”

Everyone's backpacks were packed with what they needed, and they were hard to carry even if they were stuffed. People were troubled as if they didn't think it would be hard to take, and that problem was soon resolved.

“Prophets, take this child. ”

“Huh?"

What the High Septon brought was a round, brown slime. The slime leans in front of Leona, and she frowns on her plump body and expressing joy as if she was in a very good mood. It seemed like he was practicing martial arts.

“The biggest and most powerful Rhodeon Slime. There's no one like him to carry heavy loads. I am very happy that I can go with the prophet. ”

“Uh, uh... ”

Barrels!

The brown ball was giving off an odd but oddly cute appearance. He grows big, clumping, and grabs a bunch of tributes in front of Leona and keeps them in my system.

Yuck!

Then he transformed his body and changed the shape of the cow. The slime that I could use as a storage box was so convenient to use. When Leona couldn't find anything to say, Jean said it instead.

“He must be pretty important around here. Can I give him this? ”

“If the path of the Prophet is any easier, there's nothing I can do. ”

Obviously, they thought of Leona as a great prophet, so it was natural to spread her generously. Leona touches the ship of a slime much larger than herself.

I thought it would be sticky, but it was very smooth, and I felt happy just touching my hands. Above all, the slime expressed its joy with its whole body rolling its feet to see how good Leona felt.

Leona's eyes glistened as she saw such a slime.

“Thank you so much! ”

“May the grace of twilight be with the prophet in the future. ”

“Yes!”

Leona nods as soon as she feels better.

Leona exclaims with a bright smile.

“The Twilight Bridge is the best! ”

Until just now, I thought it was strange here, but my attitude changed quickly. Of course, a gift is the best way to entice a child.

“Of course! Excellent! Hahaha!”

Following the fierce evacuation of the Shrine and the residents, the group moves back out into the woods.

Leona was relaxing in the woods, riding on the back of a slime cow. Not so agile and fast, but the slime walks gracefully. Gene and Ramfil were fortunate that Leona could move so comfortably.

“Amazing. He's holding on tight to me. ”

The slime is bonding the pieces of Leona's body just in case she falls. It was a constant communication condition, so Leona changed her posture as she wanted, and her riding sensation was very good.

“Slime is the most widely used animal in the Twilight Brigade. It's convenient because you can feed it grass and move it around and change its appearance. There's a lot of slime in every piece of furniture. ”

“Amazing.... ”

Ramfil feels different from what he felt when he saw the Slime Cow follow behind him gently. Ramfil asked as if he had just remembered.

“Where do you get the slime? ”

“They divide when they grow above a certain level. There is no reproductive process.”

It was a simple method of individual proliferation. They are like livestock. If you feed them, they will grow into two, and if you raise them, they will grow into four.

“Then I think this whole forest is going to be slime everywhere. ”

As the slime continues to double and the whole forest becomes full of slimes, Ramfil mutters as if somehow he's tired.

“This kind of slime is very slow and slow. Insects, beasts, and monsters that suck bodily fluids can't resist and die easily. And it takes a while for it to grow until it can divide. ”

Leona stroked Slime's back surprisingly, realizing that this clumsy slime is actually a very weak monster.

Of course, this was the only one, and there was definitely a fiercely persistent slime.

“Think easy. Humans protect the slime from predators so that the slime doesn't get attacked and die like that, and the slime leaves its survival to the humans and provides labor. ”

Slime and human symbiosis were created for quite natural reasons.

“Slime is the easiest person to convince for a reason. ”

The communion of the Twilight Bride Cult priests is merely a communication, but it is quite different from the ‘domination’ of witches. Even if the connection is successful, it must be persuaded. And Slime accepts that kind of persuasion and chooses a way to coexist with humans.

“You look like a person. ”

Leona was curious. Determine whether to be together according to each other's needs. So much has changed just by being able to communicate.

“In your case, it is full control and subordination, not sympathy. There's no convincing process. ”

The Flaires, who are communicating right now, are being friendly with Leona, but she could choose death if she gave the order.

And to think that, Leona suddenly felt creepy.

“Something…. I don't feel good. ”

I'm not with you because I like you.

Leona became confused just thinking that she was made that way.

“Don't worry too much. These guys sure like you now. ”

Beep, beep!

Flaires gather on the back of the slime, staring closely at Leona and flapping their little wings. Leona had no choice but to smile at him without knowing it.

The flares were cute and lovely enough for Leona to forget all her depressing thoughts.

The speed of the slime was as alarming as it was fast, and because the slime could easily become worn out and collapse, the group was forced to move at a relaxed speed. Jean didn't rush it on purpose because Leona was comforted anyway.

That day I was homeless in the forest, and the next day I got up diligently and left again. Obviously, Slime was an easy transport and an honest worker to carry. Leona can't take her hands off the slime to see how much she enjoyed loving it, and the Flaires were just so jealous that it was killing her.

The trees were still in front of me.

Gene sometimes thought that plants were the plague itself. If we don't get rid of it artificially, it will envelop the whole world.

This forest, covered in blue diseases, was not very fond of gin.

Of course, the most important reason to be a hunter is to obstruct your vision.

But the journey in the jungle was over.

“Wow... ”

Leona suddenly doesn't know how to keep her mouth open.

“I'm not getting used to it. ”

Ramfil grimaces at the sudden disappearance of the tree and the rolling plains. And it wasn't just plain. In front of him was a huge city. Twilight City, a newly built city on top of the huge ruins of Ho Chi Minh City, boasted of its magnificence.

And it wasn't just that. Despite the views of Twilight City, there was something characteristic that could never be seen.

“What the hell is that? ”

“That's the Twilight Tower. ”

“Tower?”

Ramfil tilts his head. Leona was confused by that, too.

“That's... It's not a tower, it's a tree. ”

“To be precise... A building swallowed by trees. ”

An unusually large wooden structure that cannot be collapsed stands in the center of Twilight City.
