The Story of Demon Hunter

Protagonist Template

Hearing Arthur's words, the corner of Takahide's lips twitched violently. Although it is quite thrilling, but such a life is definitely not an easy life. If you think about it well, a seemingly simple life is actually more fun because it is not necessary to get all the problems and live in fear and fatigue.

“So ... What does that have to do with Princess Nanami? I don't even know her, do I?”

“Actually, after seeing your appearance, I thought of something. It has to do with my daughter.”

“Do you want to match her with me? Pardon me! I don't like getting involved with this kind of complicated stuff!” Arthur raised both of his hands.

“Who wants to match his daughter to a young man like you! Yeah, you're kind of handsome and a little strong, but it sucks! This old man's heart couldn't handle that kind of pressure every day!”

“Hey, it's really an exaggerated humiliation, Old Man!”

“Stop calling me Old Man! I'm really not that old!” Takahide directly massaged his temple.

“Then, what do you want from me?” ask Arthur.

“I want to ask for help.”

“After you tried to kill me?” arthur said with a smile on his face.

“I'm completely isolated and considered a fugitive, misunderstandings like this happen often, don't I?”

“Although so, I want compensation!” arthur said firmly.

“Then say. Despite not having much, at least I have a little savings.”

“I didn't ask for it.” Arthur shook his head.

“Then what do you want, Nak?”

“All plants in your garden!” arthur said firmly and clearly.

“...”

Takahide. He stared at Arthur with an expression of disbelief. He himself was not aware that the young man before him did not understand the price of herbs at all. Many of the plants he planted were very expensive. So according to him, what was done was clearly a blatant robbery.

“If you want to rob, you have to pass my corpse first, son!”

“I just want to plant it, right?” Arthur tilted his head.

“Who are you trying mom, boy! These plants I gathered with great difficulty in my journey of life. This is more valuable than my entire savings!” yelled Takahide annoyed.

“Eh? That expensive?” Arthur rubs his chin. “Then each five of each type.”

“Cannot be!” shout Takahide.

The two looked at each other, the old fox and the young fox instantly showed their sly side. Both are arguing over the price of compensation. In the end, Takahide finally swallowed defeat while making a deal with the cunning young man in front of him.

They finally made a deal. For the kind that only had one tree, Arthur should not ask for it. For types that have a number of two to five, Arthur gets one seedling. For the type to have a number of six to ten trees, Arthur could get two seedlings. For the type with more than ten trees, Arthur got three seeds. Plus one exception, which is 20 seeds of strange vines that can ensnare the enemy. In total, Arthur actually obtained a huge harvest.

Only, it was not only the price of compensation, but also the price at which Arthur had to perform a task from Takahide. Despite the total loss, the middle-aged man still accepted it because he was very worried about his daughter's condition.

‘This speech ..’

Looking at Arthur who was crouching in the front yard while poking at the squirming vines seedlings with a happy expression, Takahide was truly grim.

“Tell me, Boy. You can obviously ask for 1 crop ready to harvest each type, dry it and sell it. However, why did you choose the seedlings? More, but it's definitely cheap. You also need to cultivate it.

Didn't you travel? The plant needs land to be planted. Are you lying to me? You actually still live in the Heavenly Pillar Sect, right?”

“Hehehe~ That has nothing to do with you, Old Man.”

“As we agreed, you have to do the job for me.”

“Of course, Old Man. However, I have one other wish.”

“We made a deal! You really still unsatisfied?” Takahide raised his eyebrows with a dissatisfied expression on his face.

“Then we will make one more deal. I really need this!” arthur said sincerely.

“What do you want?” ask Takahide.

“A pair of chickens! Uh! I mean ... cockatrice!”

Hearing that, the corner of Takahide's lips twitched violently. Taking a deep breath, he then asked in a weak voice.

“Are you stupid, son? You think cockatrice can be mass-produced? It was a very rare creature and I needed a lot of time to research it.”

“Is that impossible?”

Looking at Takahide's expression, Arthur felt his main purpose of coming here had completely failed. At that very moment, he had another thought.

‘Should I steal it?’

Upon seeing Takahide's sincerity, Arthur shook his head. The young man might be a bit cruel, but also had his own boundary line. Will not do things that he considers excessive.

“Let's go in for a talk.”

Seeing Takahide's serious expression, Arthur nodded. He then followed the man into the house.

About half an hour later, Arthur and Takahide sat in the living room with tea steaming in front of them.

“So you mean ... I have to go infiltrate the palace to find your daughter and deliver the goods?”

“Isn't that easy for you? You have an identity as a core disciple of the Heavenly Pillar Sect. Come visit officially to meet the famous princess beautiful, give gifts, then leave. It's that easy, isn't it?” Takahide smiled.

“Do you think I'm stupid, Senior Takahide? I wouldn't use my identity to do this kind of thing. Not only because now I have come out of the Heavenly Pillar Sect, but the matters of the kingdom are obviously more complicated than you said.”

“If not? Why would I pay you such a high price if it wasn't for that?”

“You are really smart! I will not use the identity of a Heavenly Pillar Sect core disciple, but will still carry out this mission with additional terms.” Arthur looked towards Takahide with a serious expression. “I want you to teach me the technique of changing bodies and makeup!”

Seeing Arthur's serious expression, Takahide could not resist him at all. Although he himself could also use this technique, but he had gotten injured in the past many years during the pursuit. So compared to Arthur, the risk to perform this task was too high.

Taking a deep breath, Takahide said with a serious expression.

“Good! But before that, I also have to explain the various conditions first.”

Arthur nodded. At that moment, Mr. Takahide went back to explaining everything. After hearing the middle-aged man's daughter's condition, the young man could not help but blink.

The mother was depressed and locked up so now is seriously ill. The father who disappeared, even thought to have died. Although a noble, since childhood treated no better than servants. Often treated badly, but still hard. Have a good temperament, and now learn to cultivate. It's just that they're always being pressured and treated unfairly. Although a royal princess with good talent, but only has the most basic cultivation method so far left behind by her peers.

A bad rumor that she is the daughter of a scum as well as the son of a traitor and a criminal spreads throughout the kingdom!

Hearing such a story, what Arthur thought the first time was neither pity nor anger. Instead, he felt somewhat doubtful and amazed. The young man even wondered in his heart.

‘Isn't that the protagonist's basic template? Soaring high on such a base and then cutting off all opponents in his path? Engage with issues like this ...

I'll be fine, right?’
