The Story of Demon Hunter

142 - Mountain Full of Flowers

After meeting the middle-aged man, Arthur and his two comrades were completely shocked. They have a new understanding of the group that forces Arthur to join them.

Arthur didn't take it all, just some ingredients needed for cooking and thanked the middle-aged man.

After the man left, Arthur tested the ingredients before cooking. Unlike the guess where they tried to be poisoned, it turned out that the ingredients were genuine and in fresh condition.

This made the young man feel quite satisfied with what the organization he was forced to work for.

Arthur then prepares all the ingredients and cooks them in the afternoon. Only in the evening the cooking was completed.

After dinner, they took turns sleeping and left in the morning. A few days later, they almost got to their place.

“Really ... who has the idea to build a headquarters in this kind of place and create a giant barrier so it can't fly?”

Spending the winter holidays lazing around, the very rarely moving Arthur felt exhausted.

If others saw him, they would have immediately doubted whether the young man was indeed a Gold level cultivator or not. After all, it was impossible for a high-level cultivator to feel exhausted from such a trivial matter.

“Arthur, Arthur .. You sweat profusely.”

Lily stared at Arthur with a pair of big eyes, looking cute when curious.

“Patience Boss. Should only one more climb.”

Joe comforts Arthur. But he was curious in his heart. After all, his self who was still at the silver level was not so exhausted. So seeing the talented Arthur can seem like a fish out of the water, the man begins to doubt life.

‘Is this a consequence of arrogance? Because he was too lazy and drank a lot of wine, his body was hollowed (damaged)? Can't climb a mountain like this?’

While Joe was hesitating, Arthur looked up at the long staircase leading up the mountain. It's true, it's the last climb. But the stairs this time were really too high.

Wiping the sweat running all the way to his chin, Arthur said in an annoyed tone.

“This damned place! Far from the city, surrounded by mountains with steep cliffs, and very, very difficult to access. Whoever designed this base must be mentally ill!”

Hearing Arthur's complaint, Joe's eyes blinked.

‘Doesn't that mean this place is hassle-free and hard for enemies to attack? Just my feeling, or indeed our way of thinking is too different Boss?’

Lily still looks innocent. He stood in front of Arthur with two clenched hands. The little girl moved her hands excitedly.

“Come Arthur, spirit. You definitely can. Just one more climb, better than going down.”

“...”

Seeing Lily cheering for him made Arthur feel complicated. On one hand, he felt happy that the girl was willing to comfort him. On the other hand, the young man felt somewhat embittered and helpless from feeling utterly defeated by the little girl.

“Who said I was exhausted? This kind of climb will not stop me at all!”

Listening to Arthur's words, Joe wanted to spit and curse. Yet he could still restrain himself and just complain inwardly.

‘Who are you trying to lie to the boss? You sweat profusely, even seem to be able to collapse at any time? What is nothing?’

Seeing Arthur walking with a cane and starting to climb back up, Joe could only let out a long sigh with a complicated expression. He swore in his heart not to laze or drink too much wine.

Joe simply did not want to end up in such a miserable manner like his Boss!

About an hour and a half later, Arthur, Joe, and Lily finally reached the top of the mountain where some beautiful and magnificent buildings were located.

Having just reached the flat terrain, the front street of the building, Arthur immediately lay on his back on the tile with sweat drenching his entire body. For some reason, the young man felt that his body was very tired.

Compared to the young man's body, Arthur felt that his body was similar to that of an old man. Really very vulnerable!

At that moment, a reckless old man's voice rang out in Ark's ears.

“You really look like a weak chicken, Nak.”

Hearing that, Arthur immediately sat down and turned to the source of the voice. There, there appeared the figure of an old man sitting under a plum tree with flowers blooming while carrying a bottle of pumpkin.

From a distance, the fragrant aroma was already smelled. Clearly, what the old man brought was wine.

“Anda-“

“From focusing on your fatigue. How about looking around? Maybe the scenery can reduce your fatigue?”

Hearing that, Arthur stood up and looked around. The magnificent and beautiful ancient building was indeed incredible, but he only caught a glimpse before turning his gaze away.

Just then, Arthur was suddenly stunned.

As far as the eye could see, he saw many mountains piercing through the clouds. But it was not the sight that surprised him.

On every mountain, whether it was on the roadside or a steep cliff, there were a lot of plum trees with flowers blooming. Produces such an incredible view.

Right then and there, a strong wind blew, flying countless flower petals. Truly a sight that entertains the eyes and cools the heart.

“Ya .. I'm glad you like it too.”

Hearing the old man's words, Arthur turned his head with a curious expression.

“You?” ask the young man.

“Same as you, the head of one of the divisions of the Garden of Death.”

After replying curiously, the old man poured wine into a small container then sipped it slowly. Enjoying the sweet, bitter, and somewhat hot taste made him sigh with a satisfied expression.

The old man then glanced at Arthur then said, “Get inside first, the Chairman has been waiting for you there.”

“Good.”

After saying that, Arthur saluted then left together with his two comrades. They were stopped when they entered the main building. According to the guard's explanation, only the division head can go inside.

So, while his two comrades were escorted to a special building for the members of the upcoming division, Arthur went into the place himself.

Arriving inside, Arthur immediately saw an extraordinary sight that looked ancient but also luxurious. The word ‘boros’ is the one that first appeared in his head when he saw that sight.

There, there was a waiter wearing beautiful clothes. The woman saluted Arthur, then gestured to follow him.

Going deeper, the more beautiful the view. Not only is the place spacious, but there are also some very valuable plants that are used as displays. Make Arthur's eyes green, really want to take it and throw it into his plane.

After walking for a while, Arthur finally arrived at the front of the large door.

“Log.”

The voice of the old man sounded from within. Looking at the retreating servant, Arthur opened the door and went inside.

The young man had prepared his mentality. But when he entered the room, he was completely dumbfounded. His brain works fast. Looking at the figure sitting in his chair, Arthur felt doubt.

“You are ..”
