Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Entering the cabin Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Entering the cabin Atop the hill, Blake’s figure erged slowly from the darkness.
His face was calm, his deanor unhurried.
Ashley’s neck hairs stood on end.
“Have you been following ?”
Since Blake was here, it could only an that the previous arrangents hadn’t fooled this man’s eyes.
Blake didn’t speak, just looked at Ashley indifferently.
Ashley’s muscles tensed up slowly, as she sensed a strong intent to kill emanating from Blake across from her.
“What are you going to do…”
“Pfft!”
The next second, blood welled up, choking off Ashley’s following words.
Ashley struggled to widen her eyes, and a dozen ters away, Blake’s figure hadn’t moved an inch.
She looked down to see a hand protruding through her chest.
In the palm, her heart was crushed and squeezed out between the fingers!
“Heh heh…”
“Cough cough!”
A large stream of fresh blood choked out of her throat, as Ashley struggled to gather the spiritual power in her mind.
“What are you going to do?”
“Tsk tsk, wouldn’t it be better to just die quietly?”
A voice ca from behind her, and Ashley struggled to turn her head, but because her chest had been pierced, this simple action beca extrely difficult at that mont.
“By killing , aren’t you afraid that what happened in Rivervalley Town will happen again?”
Ashley had imagined the consequences if things were to be exposed, but the extre asures of the Hunters Guild were completely unexpected.
“No need for you to worry.”
Blake replied from a distance.
“With Cassandra, what use is there to keep you around?”
“Teacher?!” Ashley widened her eyes in horror, and at that mont, she seed to understand sothing.
“Good, very good!”
“Don’t think that by killing us, you can hide your secrets.”
“Over the years, where have those missing Demon Hunters gone?”
“If sothing happens to the teacher, Mr. Sean will definitely understand what she said back then.”
“Haha, wait until he returns to Bordeaux, and you’d better be ready for an investigation!”
“I hope it’s not too late to make ands now.”
Knowing she was certain to die, Ashley’s behavior gradually beca more frantic.
But Blake’s expression still showed no change.
“Oh…”
“So even our last eting was part of Cassandra’s calculations, huh.”
Blake spread his palm open.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Ashley, but you guessed wrong.”
“We did indeed do so things, but it’s not at all like you imagined.”
“Forget it.”
Blake waved his hand dismissively.
“Why should I explain so much to a dead person?”
“Caw caw…”
“You belong to now!”
The voice rang in her ears, and the next second, Ashley was dragged into the darkness.
Standing on the hilltop, Blake looked out at Rivervalley Town in the distance and couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.
“Was it too early for the teacher to do this?”
A sound of chewing ca from the darkness, and not long after, a figure covered in blood walked out from it.
“Blake, you always think too much.”
“Eat well, drink well, and the job is done.”
“Haha, I’m off!”
Blake frowned.
“Don’t cause trouble!”
“Don’t worry, I know my limits.”
The voices gradually faded away, disappearing into the wilderness.
……
By the ti Roger arrived in Kazhen City, it was already the morning of the second day.
Kazhen is a port city, different from the aged atmosphere unique to Bordeaux. As an erging city, it is full of vitality and vigor.
The towering buildings and the bustling traffic on the streets made the city feel busy even in the early morning.
The eting place with Henrik was an apartnt building. Upon reaching the designated floor and pressing the doorbell, the door opened soon after to reveal Henrik’s face.
“Co in. I asked around, and apart from a bit of trouble in Rivervalley Town, the rest of Bordeaux is calm and peaceful.”
“Rivervalley Town?”
Henrik nodded.
“It’s internal news from the Hunters Guild. Apparently, many people have contracted a plant-based disease.”
Henrik pulled out so docunts. Seeing the recorded details of the patients’ mutations, Roger’s pupils shrank slightly, as they reminded him of the plant hidden in the core area by the Voodoo Association within the Cursed Land.
He quickly flipped through the docunts, confirming his suspicions one by one.
“It’s indeed the Voodoo Association.”
“The resurrected dead ntioned here must be similar to that fellow Gale…”
“They must be aiming to achieve so special purpose by doing this.”
However, since Adeline had left Rivervalley Town, it indicated that the situation there had eased. Roger thought through many issues; the plant he and Anna had killed must have been the core of the Spell.
Comparing the tilines, the patients’ condition in Rivervalley Town improved almost imdiately after the plant died.
“It seems that unwittingly, you’ve deepened your feud with the Voodoo Association a bit more.”
Henrik said.
“If they find out you’ve ruined the Voodoo Association’s plan, Cassandra herself might co over to kill you, huh?”
“Tsk tsk.”
At this point, Henrik smacked his lips, “Rumor has it that Cassandra is the most beautiful woman in the entire region of Bordeaux.”
“If there’s a chance…”
“Can we talk about sothing serious?”
Roger couldn’t help but interrupt Henrik’s daydreaming.
“This is important!”
Henrik looked at Roger with solemnity, “Understanding the Voodoo Queen’s strengths and personality is very helpful for our next moves.”
Roger opened his mouth, his mind blanking for a few seconds, but after digging through every thought, he found that what this guy was saying actually made a lot of sense.
“Don’t rush. I think there’s a low chance of you guys getting discovered. Since there’s not much going on lately, why not stay here for a few more days and observe the situation in Bordeaux?”
Henrik winked at Roger.
“What is there in a port city like this?”
“Beaches! Bikinis!”
He patted Roger’s shoulder, “Take a good rest!”
“When night falls, I’ll show you the unique culture of this place!”
Having said this, he left through the door.
“Huff…”
Roger let out a sigh, his tense spirit finally relaxing, feeling a sense of fatigue set in.
Killing, traveling, advancing.
After washing away the gri and changing into clean clothes, Roger fell into a deep sleep.
In the following days, Roger barely left the house. For so reason, once he relaxed, he felt exceptionally tired.
He spent most of the day in bed.
The cooldown period for Temporary Migration had not yet passed, so Roger reverted to being an ordinary person for the ti being.
Even though he didn’t try, Roger felt that this fatigue was sothing even the Hunter’s Cabin couldn’t help him recover from.
Henrik told him this was a normal occurrence after the transition to Transcendent.
This step of change was revolutionary for an individual, with a new body and new organs all requiring a period to adjust.
Henrik had been keeping an eye on the news from Bordeaux in recent days, but the calm situation seed eerie, as the Voodoo Association made no response.
As ti passed, Roger’s body gradually returned to normal.
Finally, once the cooldown ended, he activated the Temporary Migration feature and re-entered the Hunter’s Cabin.
