The Story of Demon Hunter

Batu Putih Village

In front of the entrance of a village.

"This ... looks kind of bad, doesn't it?"

Reyna mumbled softly. He glanced at Arthur who seemed to be daydreaming.

In front of them, there was a village gate made of black stone. The stacked rocks looked a little rickety, appearing to be full of moss.

Not far in front of them, there was a village whose entire house was made of wood. Not a beautiful type of craft, but a simple house without beautiful carvings. The houses look old too.

Moreover, the village was in such a remote place. A forest is visible around the village. The tall trees made the place somewhat dim. Also, the place is foggy and a bit cold.

"We can't judge it from the outside. Yes ... although it does look quite gloomy."

Arthur said with a blank expression. After a moment of silence in front of the village entrance gate, he again said.

"What if we go in now?"

Arthur's question made Reyna feel uncomfortable. Although she was now a 6-star silver level cultivator who was considered a genius compared to her peers, the girl still felt somewhat scared when she saw the sight of the gloomy village before her.

It feels ... The village is haunted!

"This place isn't haunted, is it?" Reyna Mummings.

Arthur was stunned for a moment. After a while, he suddenly laughed.

"Pff! A cultivator with various skill sets was really afraid of ghosts."

The young man shook his head before walking into the village.

Seeing Arthur enter the village, Reyna finally decides to follow him. However as he passed through the village gate, the girl suddenly goosebumps. He felt someone was watching him. Scared, Reyna hurriedly caught up with Arthur.

The two of them went straight to the village chief's house. As they walked on the village road, the two felt many gazes directed at the two of them. The look came from the houses around.

Arriving in front of the village chief's house, Arthur immediately knocked on the door.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

After waiting for a while, the door finally opened.

The figure of a hunchback old man in traditional clothes gazed towards the two people standing in front of the house. Looking at the friendly smiling Arthur, the old man was a little surprised.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Young Master?" ask the old man.

Looking at Arthur's expensive clothes, he clearly did not dare to speak impolitely with the young man in front of him. The village chief did not want his village to get into trouble because of certain trifles. After all, they've been involved in too much trouble.

"Good day, Village Chief! I'm Arthur, a wandering chef.

This is my partner, Reyna. He was the core disciple of the Heavenly Pillar Sect. This girl said she had a friend who came from this village named ..."

"Momo" said Reyna briefly.

"As a demon hunter, Reyna came here at the request of her friend. I heard, this village is getting into trouble and needs help."

The village chief was surprised. Looking at the handsome young man with a friendly smile and the beautiful girl with a cold expression in front of him, he felt somewhat confused.

At first, the principal felt quite happy. But he became wary as a result of Arthur's introduction. Looking towards the handsome young man, fair-skinned, and wearing luxurious clothes made the old man raise his eyebrows.

'Are they both cheats? Although quite convincing, but ... can a chef become so rich? Is he really a chef?'

Arthur clearly saw an expression of disbelief on the old man's face. He immediately elbowed Reyna, telling the girl to bring out the evidence.

Reyna is confused by Arthur's movements. Seeing how the young man looked at him as if he was looking at a foolish girl who had not seen the world, he felt annoyed. After thinking for quite a while, Reyna finally understood.

Reyna took out a jade hairpin belonging to her friend and a mark from the Pillar of Snake as proof.

Seeing these two things, the village chief looked surprised. He then became happy, before returning moody.

The village head looked at the two people in front of him with a helpless expression.

"I'm sorry, Miss. Although we need help, but Batu Putih Village.

Seeing the bitter expression of the village chief, Reyna was stunned. Meanwhile, Arthur smiled as he stroked his chin.

"Hoo-ho-ho ... It's really interesting."

"What's so interesting? Tell me and stop kinkin!" reyna was upset.

"It seems that demon hunters don't work for free. That is natural. However, if so ...

Said the hero who saved the people is really not a match."

"What do you mean?" Reyna raised her eyebrows.

"Say like a cop. Yeah, a little worse.

We are not paid because the sect is not affiliated with any kingdom. But we can earn money by selling money and services.

Yes ... rather than the police who are already salaried by the state but need extra money if we have to go down to deal with cases, we are more like mercenaries."

"Stop the convolutions, Arthur!"

"The bottom line is, if somewhere wants to solve the problem, they need to pay us! The pay depends on how difficult the case is.

Judging from the condition of the village which is quite poor because it does not have certain specialists, they cannot afford to pay. Not to mention, this case must have been quite difficult as it had concerned the sacrifices that had occurred over the years.

Am I right, Village Chief?"

"Young Master is right." The village chief nodded with a sad expression.

"I don't care about the pay! I came here to help Momo in taking care of the village matters. From the beginning, I had no desire to be paid!"

"..."

The village chief was shocked when he heard Reyna's cold and stern remarks. He stared at the girl for a moment before turning his gaze toward Arthur.

Arthur shrugged his shoulders. The young man then said with a smile on his face.

"As he said, Village Chief. He came to help, and I ...

You could say I was hired by him to do this job. So you can calm down.

Uh! Of course the accommodation of you. After all, we both need temporary shelter and food."

"..."

Unknowingly, the eyes of the village chief started to fog. He felt overwhelmed. Although not necessarily a problem can be solved, but the old man greatly appreciated the help of the two people.

The village chief leaned his body forward. But before he could get down on his knees, two hands held his shoulders.

"It would be a shame to see an elder kneel for a junior like us. There is no need to kneel down because we are not necessarily able to solve your problems.

Of course, we'll both do our best."

"But—"

"No word but, Old Man."

Arthur interrupted immediately. He looked towards the village chief with a stern look expression. But it immediately turned into a friendly and relaxed smile.

"Rather than us arguing here, how about we go in and talk?"
