Hunter of the Perished World

Burj Khalifa.

Nicknamed the city of the tower.

For some reason, the magnificent and enormous structure remained intact even after its destruction. Even now, two hundred years after the destruction, the building stands as if laughing at the fallen world with overwhelming glory.

New Hong Kong also has a huge building called the Asgard Tower, but compared to this magnificent building, the light is desirable.

“Bullshit.”

The first time Leona saw the Burj Khalifa was just one word.

But in one word, there was all this awe, awe and awe.

The humans before the apocalypse, could they have built tens of thousands of these?

This led to Leona's misunderstanding, not Bourne's.

Burj Khalifa was an awning that rose up toward the sky. Like a metropolitan city, Burj Halifa is surrounded by taller buildings and crowds, but the huge towers that rise in the middle make all buildings relatively Dwarves.

It was no miracle that Burj Halifa was able to withstand the Sefa of Doom.

There were no nuclear bombings in Dubai.

And after the extinction, in the age of plunder, those with authority and power still had to make either choice.

The choice of hiding was the same, but it was either underground or high. The tall tower was ideal for hiding, and many surviving leaders gathered in Burj Halifa.

Those who thought they had to stick together to survive merged the security forces. That's why a massive armed force has emerged from the heart of Burj Halifa. Of course, engineers and architects also gathered for safety in order to maintain the building.

Due to the massive Burj Khalifa cartel being constructed, it was possible to construct an environment that could be safe from external invasion and pillaging from the ground up.

And, attracted by the temptation of its safety, or the temptation of its plunder, a large outsider settlement was constructed around Burj Khalifa. People in Burj, Halifa, also knew they couldn't live alone.

They will be cultivated, and crops and food were essential to those living in the tower.

The cartel was very wise in that regard.

You can make purchases to the civilians, but they did collect some of it by calling it "tax." The name was that they were protected by the cartel's armed forces.

In fact, it was right that they were not attacked by Slater because of the tower's armed forces. Of course, people paid taxes because they were more afraid of cartel guns than that logic.

It seemed like everyone was better off with their lives on the line.

Thereby, the dominant system naturally built by the tower. The tower is the symbol and core of the city, and the residents of the tower were the owners of the city.

The inhabitants of Burj Halifa are divided into three groups.

A nobleman in a tower.

A commoner living outside the tower.

A slave serving nobles in a tower.

If New Hong Kong is a corporate city, and Solarism is always a rich agricultural city due to the glorious weather,

The city of the tower, Burj Khalifa, was a privileged city with distinct rich disparities and noble roots.

Of course, privilege wasn't always the same.

If old Bondi prominents, politicians and chauvinists had formed an early cartel, the privilege would have changed over time. Those who were used as escorts stood up with guns, shot at some of the old-fashioned leaders, and robbed them of their power.

And the next order was the turn of architects and engineers who were absolutely necessary for building maintenance.

As the construction and management area of the tower gradually expanded, the tower itself had to become the property of engineers.

Naturally, even if the technicians press one button, all the systems in the building stop. A remote shielding gate built to prevent rebellion and violence inside the tower was enough to shut down and kill the armed forces.

They were able to trap and free everyone in the tower just by taking control of one control room.

It literally meant that technicians had the right to life and death of everyone in the tower.

It was too late for the dominant to notice and take action.

From then on, the tower was run by technicians.

Of course, for those living outside the tower, the change of dominion was irrelevant.

And to Leona right now, the details were irrelevant.

For a short while, Leona enters the city while admiring the soaring tower. I was tired of walking a long way down from the Black Dragon early. The Black Dragon will continue to roam the area, and I had no choice but to hope that Jin and Ramfil who knew about it will find out for themselves.

Not a day or two, but a year or two if it didn't work out, so Leona was going to be working as a hunter here.

‘Should I get a house...? ’

Last time I booked an inn in Rigal, it was a big city. Leona decided it would be better to find a place to stay for the long haul since there are as many vigilantes as there are on the way.

And Leona knew that there was no place like a hunter's nest.

Burj Khalifa was not equipped with an easy train to travel long distances. Therefore, the travel time was very long and at the same time much larger than other metropolitan areas.

Above all, Leona was blinded by the geography of Burj Halifa.

It was only a matter of time before I could find the hunter's nest. The weather is boiling hot, so Leona gets tired and mutters like a spit.

“Son of a bitch, why are you working like this...? ”

It's been a long time since I've been around a city, so Leona already hated the city of this tower when she thinks about going around for a bounty hunt. I started worrying about a junk wagon or buying one for the city to move around.

By the time I arrived at the nest, I made a commitment to buy a junk wagon.

Leona stops walking in the alley.

It was because the red text on the wall of the alley was so intense that it caught my eye.

[Obedience is over. Gain your freedom.]

"What is this?"

And around it was a ragged wall.

Although they were all torn apart, they were all written in red. I couldn't read it in detail.

Leona glances at the red text and mutters.

"... I think this place is a real pain in the ass."

Leona was already feeling a little overwhelmed.

The hunter's nest was called the White Tiger, and like a big city, the nest and its neighboring merchandise were also enormous. Leona entered the largest common building for both the commission and lodging.

No, I tried to get in.

“What are you assholes doing? ”

In front of a large communal building, a man with a cold impression stood in the way of the door. The man was dressed in a bright gray suit and surrounded by guards dressed in sunglasses with machine guns.

The man pretending to use evil was cleaner than everyone else, and strangely, the black shoes he was wearing were radiant with reflection.

“If you're nervous underneath me, I'll clean it myself. Why don't you ask the tough guy to clean it up?" You're free to go. ”

And in front of him were a lot of hunters, one of whom frowned and stumbled.

“How dare a humble hunter…. Have you forgotten who I am? ”

“I don't know, the seven masters of that magnificent tower. ”

“A mop? What are you looking at Raven for now...? ”

“I'm looking at it with a dusting paper towel. I don't think you're wrong. ”

“You know what kind of security you're talking about. ”

A lower guard comes forward, threateningly muttering, and the hunter snickers.

“I think you're the one who forgot where we are. ”

And the hunter's color changed. Where was the man who was just joking and joking? Of course, the hunters around him also changed their eyes.

It was the eyes of a hunter.

Soon, the eyes of a murderer.

“This is a hunter's nest, ruled by the rules of hunters. ”

The hunter's gaze settles on him, and the man in the gray suit hardens.

“If you're going to break the law of the tower, you can do it when we get into the tower. ”

“Don't you care as much about the safety of the city as you do? ”

The man growls coldly.

“Quests are meant to be entrusted to anyone who can handle them. There's only two things you can do. Waiting for a hunter to take on the quest, or placing a bigger reward. ”

He sighs furiously, as if the nest was an extraterrestrial rule. The hunter who spoke earlier mutters in ridicule.

“In the Hunter's Commandment," a good place doesn't last long. There's a saying. ”

He grins and points to the ground he stands on.

“It's a nice place. Don't stay long. ”

I don't mean to imply that, but the hunters burst out laughing and the man's fist caught fire.

I'm not currently taking out my weapon, but the man in the gray suit knew to put a vent in his head as soon as the hunters sensed hostility.

“You will regret this. Remember.”

“I didn't find anyone annoying for those guys who said that. ”

Once again, a smile bursts out, and he turns away with the guards.

Then I saw Leona standing at the front door, screaming with an impression.

“Fuck you, fuck you. ”

Puck!

“Oops!”

Even though the front door wasn't that narrow, he nervous and pushed Leona over the shoulder. The hunter who saw it died again.

“Haha! The nobleman must be very angry... ”

Bang!

Single gunshot.

And the eerie silence settled. The noble man, shocked by the gunshot, looks back, and so do the guards.

Leona slowly lowers her striking revolver toward the sky, muttering with her axe eyes open.

Leona mutters, looking at them frozen with a fierce look on her face.

“What are you, pushing people around and shit? ”

As a child, you don't have to push them around.

That's even worse than the filthy human hunter, Leona.

“You look like you're farting, do you want me to show you all equality in front of guns? ”

Leona mumbles and is embarrassed by his expression, which was well controlled by the hunters' deaths.

“Now…. What the hell is that thing talking about? ”

“It's your turn to bow your head. You look like shit... Whew! ”

Leona's words could not continue.

Boom!

“What, what! What the fuck! ”

It was because the hunters rushed to Leona, grabbed her and dragged her into my pack.

The hunter in front laughs beautifully and mutters.

He was equally confused by the sheer number of gunshots that exploded.

“Begging your pardon. I see the new recruit is less educated, so go back quietly. ”

The guards were already pointing machine guns at the hunters, and the man smiled as he showed the chipmunks on his silver vest.

“No matter how clumsy we get, it's not easy to see blood, is it? ”

“… let's go. ”

The Gray Suit Man finds it hard to forgive this little hazing, but it's even hotter to deal with hunters than that.

Leona was forced into contact with the hunters.

That doesn't mean he's been arrested. A hunter comes in front of him, thrown into the right room.

“What the hell are you doing? ”

As soon as the hunter comes in, it's ridiculous, and Leona mutters with an impression.

“I was trying to show a dickhead what a dickhead is. ”

Leona clasps her arms and mutters, "I should have let you hit me in the head." The man burst out laughing as if it were ridiculous.

“Hey, you lunatic. Even if the nest is extraterritorial, do you know what happens when you shoot a nobleman? ”

“But you were ready to shoot, weren't you? ”

The man shakes his head as Leona spits.

“No, it's just a threat. If it weren't for this nest, you'd be a target target for the guards today. ”

The man sweeps Leona up and down and mutters.

“Is this your first time here? ”

“We just got here. ”

“Shit…. Something like you is always going to get in trouble. ”

He chirps his tongue as if something troubles him. Then he mutters. However, he was not the type to look down on Leona at her age.

“You look like you've had your fair share of trouble with a gun rat, but remember that. If you go out of the nest here, don't even look at those in suits. ”

“What's a suit? ”

“The kind of clothes they just wore. Either he's a nobleman or a nobleman's bodyguard. Remember."

“What's a nobleman? ”

“…… Shit. ”

As if something really bothers him, he lowers his head and lets out a sigh.

He eventually informed Leona that the existence of the tower, its inhabitants, and their so-called nobles were practically the rulers of the city.

He also told me how much power they have in this city and how much they take for granted. Leona understood those words well enough because she had good understanding.

“So this place is full of fucking castles, right? ”

“And you just shot him in front of him. ”

It was treason and deserved to be shot, even for a messy Castle.

He sighs and mutters. Leona shrugs.

“Go fuck yourself, Warlord, and you're dead meat. What are you gonna do?"

“Oh, shit. ”

The man frowned and said.

“Most of us hate nobles, but we don't touch them because they and I are shit and shit to each other. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“Because we don't want to look dirty at each other. ”

Leona bursts into laughter as if it were absurd, and the man gives the impression that it's nothing to laugh about.

“If this place gets desolate, no one cares if you're a crazy bitch. But remember, there are people in this nest who will get caught up in your madness. You're always welcome inside the nest for a reasonable amount of garbage, and I'm willing to compliment you, but if you do something like that, I'll put an air hole in your head first. ”

Leona was still unaware that she was wrong, but realizing that others could have gotten caught up in it made perfect sense to him.

“I think I was reckless about that. I'm sorry, but I'm a nobleman. I didn't know what I was doing. ”

“You were brave because you didn't know. Whatever.”

He smiles pleasantly.

“The look on his face was dull, though it was definitely something to see. ”

“You must be a famous fucker. That subtraction.”

He giggles and laughs at Leona's words.

“Worse than a scumbag. ”

Then he stops smiling and speaks with hatred.

“If you were a nobleman and went up to Myster's rattle, you wouldn't have said everything. ”

I don't know what the word "meister" means, but Leona was aware of the fact that she was talking about her head among those who farted or croaked.

“What are you, in charge? ”

“The commander... That's a bit of an expression. ”

The hunter reaches out his hand.

“I'd say spokesperson. ”

“Who's the spokesman? ”

“There is such a thing as a rat droplet. ”

Leona also talked a little, but she didn't dislike the nest spokesperson who eventually explained things kindly.

He doesn't look old enough to be the head of the nest, but rather young, but he certainly seems to be highly respected by the hunters of this nest.

Leona grins, holding hands.

“I'm Leona. ”

“Salach ad Dean. ”

He also smiled face to face.

“Call it Saladin at ease. ”
