Chapter 085: Part-time
"What have you been up to lately?"
Roger asked.
"I don't know what's going on lately, strange things are happening around me frequently, tomorrow at 10 o'clock in the morning, go to the gate of Bay Town Park and wait for me."
Henrik said hurriedly.
"There's still a battle on my side, and we'll talk about it tomorrow!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Roger didn't think much about it, he was also a little tired from fighting twice in a row in one night, but just as he was about to rest, he suddenly noticed the model of the hut in his consciousness, emitting a faint light.
"The beast attack is complete."
This was the hint he had just received, but Roger's mind was so focused on the upgraded cabin that he didn't notice it.
He opened it and checked it, and the quest rewarded him with a beast cutter, but he couldn't find where to get the weapon.
After studying it carefully to understand what was going on, he took out the short knife that Henrik had given him, reached out and brushed it across the blade, and a glimmer of light appeared.
The short knife in front of him seems to have undergone some changes.
Sharp Short Knife: A high-quality weapon that has been honed over and over again, infused with mysterious power.
Beast Cutting: This short knife increases damage to beasts when attacking, and increases sharpness when dissecting corpses, allowing for maximum alchemy material preservation.
"It's a very useful feature."
Originally, Roger was worried about weapons in the future, but now, the functions of the Hunter's Hut are very comprehensive, although it can't conjure weapons out of thin air, but some special energy can be injected into the weapon.
This makes a weapon qualitatively transformed!
"When will I upgrade my steel sword?"
Thinking of the wide variety of weapons with different powers in the game, Roger was a little itchy for a while.
In addition to this, the bulletin board also reminds him that Anna's character card has been updated.
Roger clicked on it casually, and Anna's figure on the card had become very clear, but in contrast, the fog behind her became thicker.
In addition to the faint cemetery, it seems that other buildings can be seen.
"What's going on?"
Roger was a little surprised that his friendship with Anna had risen from cold to harmonious, and he didn't know how many levels he had crossed.
"A creature like a woman is not only unpredictable when she is alive, but also confusing when she is dead."
"Is it because I spoke to him a few times?" Roger thought silently.
"It seems that when it's okay, you should brush up on your presence."
He made up his mind that when he went to the hut at night in the future, he must not only focus on cultivation, but at least spare half an hour to communicate with Anna.
For now, the relationship between him and Anna as a neighbor is okay, and Anna herself seems to be relatively mysterious.
When the friendliness increases, there may be a surprise.
Anna's attitude towards him has not changed from beginning to end, and if there is no character card, Roger really doesn't know that his relationship with Anna has actually improved to a harmonious level.
Thinking no more, Roger lay down on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.
The next morning, the weather was fine.
The Fishman Festival in Bay Town is almost coming to an end, the long holiday season is coming to an end, and the town's tourists are leaving the place one after another.
After breakfast, Roger also deliberately searched for some oboe practice videos on the Internet, briefly understood, and saw that the time was about the same, so he picked up the instrument case and came to the gate of the park.
But he waited for 10:30 for an hour, but he didn't see Henrik, and several calls in the middle went unanswered.
Just when Roger was a little impatient, Henrik's car was late.
"Good morning."
Henrik yawned.
"It's 11 o'clock now."
"It's almost noon, do you want to invite me to dinner?" Henrik posed like a dead fish.
He looked very tired.
"What did you do last night?" Roger couldn't help but complain and casually opened the co-pilot's door.
"Don't mention it, there were three female ghosts who haunted me all night last night."
Henrik thumped his waist.
"The bullets in the gun are all gone."
As he spoke, a strange smile appeared on his lips.
Such a smile has often appeared on Thomas's face since returning from Swamp Town.
Not to mention anything else, just this debauchery, it is still very demon-hunter-like.
"Where are we going?"
"If it's a long way, why don't you take a break, and I'll drive?"
Hearing Roger's words, Henrik instantly became energetic, "That's not necessary. ”
With that, he started the car.
"The last mission was done well, and a big problem was avoided in time." Henrik drove to a nearby restaurant.
He took out an envelope and handed it to Roger.
"You deserve it."
"One more thing......"
"I need to ask for your opinion."
Roger didn't look at how much money was in the envelope, and put it in his pocket.
The expression on Henrik's face became solemn.
"Interested in becoming a real demon hunter?"
Roger smiled, "Am I not?" ”
He had some speculation in his mind.
"Hey, Roger, I'm not kidding you."
"Recently, I don't know why, there have been many accidents in Bordeaux and several surrounding towns, and the area around it is too big for me to be busy alone."
Henrik took a sip of his coffee.
"So are you interested in becoming a part-time demon hunter?"
"Part-time?" Roger looked puzzled.
Henrik nodded.
"To be honest, this is not in accordance with the rules, but now the situation is urgent, and regular demon hunters need to go through systematic training, but now that something has happened, the manpower within the union is also relatively tight."
"In this case, I can only try to find some other help, there are no decent demon hunter families around here."
"And I happen to have worked with you twice, and I recognize you very much, so I want to recommend you to join us temporarily and become a temporary demon hunter."
"I'll give you some relatively simple and non-dangerous tasks, and pay you a certain amount of money according to the task afterwards."
"Of course, during this period, you can also enjoy some benefits and assistance within the Hunter Guild."
Henrik explained.
"Isn't this just a short-term job?"
Roger understood what Henrik meant.
Not only can you get in touch with the information network of the Hunter Guild, but also avoid communicating too deeply and the other party will discover the secrets on your body.
Roger's problem that he had yesterday was solved at this time.
"What do I need to do?" Although he had already approved the plan in his heart, Roger did not agree immediately, but asked carefully.
"Actually, it's very simple, you can see yourself as a mercenary, we pay, you do the work."
"Of course, in this process, you have to pay attention to proportion, we are demon hunters, not thugs."
"Our job is to solve problems, not create them."
After a moment's thought, Roger nodded slowly.
"Okay, I'll join!"
