Early morning.

The first rays of sunlight shine on this quiet and peaceful town.

Andreine woke up early, she had recently adapted to the current pace of life, and after breakfast and dropped at school, she went to the police station in Bay Town.

The whole town is a lot more settled, and although the work is busy, it is all trivial, drinking a cup of coffee in his spare time, and occasionally dealing with Greg's harassment.

Although he didn't want to admit it, in fact, with Andrein's character, if she really disliked her, she would have refused with righteous words.

After a busy day, she returned home in the twilight, and was about to have dinner when a doorbell rang outside the door.

"Wait a minute!"

Adeline replied loudly, turned off the gas, wiped off the water stains on her hands, and hurried to the door.

"This gentleman, may I ask ......?"

Adeline was slightly stunned, she saw some familiar shadows in the tall man in front of her, but this overly obvious change made her hesitate.

Soon, though.

"Long time no see, I thought there would be a hug full of surprises."

Roger made a grimace, and it was only when he faced this woman that he was able to feel some of the warmth of ordinary life.

This temporarily freed him from the maelstrom of the otherworld.

"Roger! It's really you!? ”

Adeline hugged Roger with a look of surprise.

"God, how long has it been, and you've changed a lot!"

When he first met Andrein, Roger still looked like a thin teenager, but after he completed the Grass Trial, his whole person changed a lot.

By now, he was already a veritable Rank 4 transcendent, and even if he didn't show any strength, the difference in temperament was unforgettable.

"It's good to see you."

Although Roger had also secretly returned to Bay Town during this time, for many reasons, he was never able to appear in front of Adelin, but just watched from afar.

Beyond Roger's back, Adeline saw the empty lawn, and her face couldn't help but show a hint of loss.

Amanda says she's taking part in a very important training ......

"I went to see her a few days ago, and I think it won't be long before she can be back here."

Roger interrupted Andreine.

"That's really good news."

Speaking of which, she looked Roger up and down a few times, "You and Amanda ......"

Please, is it really good to ask this kind of question in person?

"Uh...... All is well. ”

Roger replied vaguely.

What's going on lately, everyone seems to like to ask this kind of question.

"Come on, I'm preparing dinner."

Andreine beckoned Roger to walk in, "Your room is still empty, hurry up and clean up and come down to eat." ”

Come down and eat.

Roger doesn't remember how long it had been since no one had spoken to him.

In recent times, all he had experienced was endless fighting, and when he came to this town and walked into this house, he relaxed.

But soon Roger admonished himself.

He's not here for real leisure.

After changing into home clothes, as soon as I opened the door, a sneaky little head poked out.

It's Jack.

Children tend to grow up faster.

It's just that I haven't seen this little ghost for a few months, and his eyes are dripping and rolling, "cough ......"

"Dear Brother Roger."

Seeing Roger find himself, Jack couldn't help but stand up straight.

"It's been a long time, didn't you bring me any gifts when you came back this time?"

As he spoke, he probed his head to scan the backpack behind Roger.

"Whatever you want, I'll buy it for you."

When he first came here, Roger still lived on Andreine's pocket money, and now he can't be said to be worth hundreds of millions, but the money in the real world is ......

"From the first day I met you, I knew that being able to know you was the greatest happiness in Amanda's life."

"Alright."

This kind of touting even Roger will feel embarrassed when he hears it, and he will fight for Toy Jack.

"Buy me a ticket to Miss Katie's concert."

Strangely, the gift Jack gave surprised Roger a little.

Although he has been separated from real life for a while, Roger also knows that Miss Katie is a well-known girl singer in the Bordeaux area.

I heard that the girl was still a high school student, but because of her beautiful appearance and sweet voice, she won the love of a large number of students.

But Jack is ...... age

"What do you want her concert tickets for?"

"At your current age, even if you have a ticket, you can't be put in."

Roger kindly asked.

"Of course I know, the ticket is not for me."

Jack analyzed matter-of-factly, "I'm going to use it to bribe Miss Jennifer, ahem......"

"Of course, she's 18 years old, so old."

"But her little sister is just the right age, maybe she can introduce us to each other."

"I noticed her on the first day I transferred."

There was a twinkle in Jack's eyes.

Belch......

Roger's face was black.

The children of Menia have grown up so fast, and it has only been a long time since they have been seen, and the young boy has already said goodbye to the age when he loved toys.

He began to understand that there was a new toy that would last him for the rest of his life.

"Okay."

Anderine's urging came from downstairs, but Roger agreed anyway.

Before leaving, he patted Jack's head, "I take the liberty of asking, what is the name of the girl you have a crush on?" ”

"Ruth."

"It's a good name, and Jack and Ruth are a good match."

Roger replied dryly.

The dinner was not rich, but the three of them had a very warm meal, and after eating, Roger took little Jack to buy tickets for the concert.

Everything is simple and ordinary.

As night fell, Baytown soon became quiet, and Roger didn't need to run around the woods anymore, he sat by the window and dialed the phone.

It didn't take long for Uma's flattering voice to come over the phone.

"My master, it's so cold around, I miss your warm embrace so much."

Roger sneered.

"Don't say that, like you've got."

"Do what you have to do."

"As your maid, I think the most important thing I should do is ......"

Click.

Roger hung up without hesitation.

Umma's help to him was obvious, but Roger always felt that this woman had been locked up for too long......

It's scary for a woman to hold back for a long time.

No, it will be more terrifying.

God knows if she longs for freedom or something else?

Coming to the Shadow Hut again, the shaking of the space continued, and the Hunter Hut was still digesting the changes brought about by this devouring.

Roger was a little anxious, but at this time there was no other way but to wait patiently for him.

Over the next few days, it was business as usual, and slowly Andrine got used to Roger's presence, and on several occasions, Roger noticed some of the moves between her and Greg.

Well...... The two men seemed to have rolled over the sheets.

But in Menia, rolling the sheets and establishing a relationship are two different things.

Everything in the town doesn't seem to have changed as it did when Roger left, with Andreine and Greg going on a date at a nearby restaurant and Jack being dropped off at his aunt's house.

With nothing to do, Roger wandered the streets alone.

The engine roared, and a car whizzed by, but soon the car that had escaped reversed and lowered its window, revealing a face that surprised Roger.

"Oh my God, it's really you!"

The car door opened, and a young man in a plaid shirt with a combing back jumped out.

"Don't you know me?"

"I will never forget you, you are the most important friend in my life!"

Ignoring the other party's exaggerated expression, Roger smiled and avoided his hug without leaving a trace.

"Thomas, we just haven't seen each other in months."

Roger's entire impression of him was that Henrik was eager to help, and to be honest, he really lived up to Henrik's kindness.

"Hey baby, the party is going to start soon, we're going to be late!"

The voices of several women were heard in the car.

Thomas puffed out his chest triumphantly.

"Thank you, Roger, for opening up a new world for me, and I'm no longer the person you know me anymore."

"Another ......"

Thomas lowered his voice, and that's when Roger noticed some peculiar changes in Thomas.

This guy has really come into contact with the transcendent world.

"Let's go together, brother, the party is full of hot girls, you will definitely find what you like in it."

"No, no."

Roger waved his hand in refusal.

"You really should open your eyes." Thomas gave Roger a look of incomprehension, as if he meant something.

"Have fun."

Roger waved goodbye to Thomas, he came into contact with many transcendents, and he could easily distinguish the radiance of the awakened druids in Thomas.

It's rare to see a Menia druid, and there has been a surge of otherworldly events across Europe in recent times.

This is most likely a negative effect of Lilith's death.

But now it seems that even if nothing like this is happening in Menia, the energy in the real world has become much more active.

Although it is far inferior to those cursed places, if this continues, sooner or later the transcendent secrets will be exposed to the eyes of the public.

As he pondered, Roger's expression changed slightly, and a new hint was given on the bulletin board.

"Shadow Expansion Complete!"

Entering the shadow hut from a secret place, as soon as the body appeared, Roger immediately felt the difference.

The sky is still cloudy, but it is much brighter than before, and more importantly, the view and the area have changed.

Luo Zhuo appeared in the garden outside the shadow hut.

The entire garden has expanded tenfold compared to before, and now it covers an area that is as large as a hill.

The Shadow Cottage is now no longer a separate house, but more like a small ......

Cursed Lands.

Roger's heart jumped, the Hunter Hut absorbed completely different things at each stage, when leveling up, what did this mean exactly?

Turning around, the shadow hut was originally mainly a wooden structure, but now it has become brick and stone, and the overall distribution has become much simpler and more reasonable.

It is not completely modeled on the ancient castle, but combines a lot of modern creative concepts, but retains some quaint taste.

He opened the door and saw an open hall.

The room is filled with the special scent of water chestnut wood.

This thing is not an expensive spell casting material, and its main purpose is to keep the mind clear and speed up the recovery of mental power.

But if you use it to lay floors, it is still a bit too extravagant.

On the fireplace near the wall hung all of Roger's loot, some of which had previously been placed in the other two hunter's huts.

It is now also found in the Shadow Huts.

It seems that because the Shadow Hut is currently at the highest level, it automatically overrides and obtains some abilities from the other two Huts.

However, the increase in the previous loot may have been remarkable for Roger at that time, but it is a bit behind for him now.

In front of the fireplace is a large seating area.

There are soft couches, animal skins spread on the floor, and comfortable sofas.

Well...... Listening to the fire, tasting the wine, and then relaxing the mind and body, this is indeed the life of a demon hunter.

There wasn't much decoration in the room, and Roger was holding back his intention to go through the entire manor, he opened the notice board and couldn't wait to check it out.
