The Story of Demon Hunter

Not So Bad

Without feeling it, time flows quietly.

Today, exactly 40 days Arthur taught Nanami. During this time, many changes took place in the royal palace. One of the most important events was the alliance agreement made by the two kingdoms, namely the Sakura Kingdom and the Fuji Kingdom.

As Arthur expected, the Fuji Kingdom chose the Sakura Kingdom as an ally.

This of course creates an uproar, especially for small people. Although they do not know the reason why the previously neutral Kingdom of Fuji chose to change its attitude, but it clearly made them (the small people) in trouble. Especially for traders or caravans who trade with the Ume Kingdom.

In addition, there is also another problem, namely the problem of cold iron mines. About ten days ago, the Fuji Kingdom side had sent an expedition team heading to the cold iron mine. But now they are in trouble. Many knights were sent to die. Through rumors, Arthur hears that there are dangerous creatures lodged in the mine.

Although the Fuji Kingdom also had cultivators, but most of them were weak. It is estimated that there will be hundreds, even thousands of people who will be victims. But the royal party also felt reluctant to hire people from the sect because their income would be divided and only get a little result.

Only, there was something unexpected. Today, Arthur gets an invitation from Mr. Masanobu.

Walking on the stone path leading to the palace, Arthur sighed deeply. He actually did not want to bother dealing with the old man. But having to train Nanami in 60 days, he was forced to meet the old man.

“Mr Masanobu has been waiting for you, Mr Ryuma.”

Arriving at the location, a beautiful maid immediately waited for him.

“Show street.”

“Good.”

Following the girl, Arthur finally walks through the hallway with a lot of antiques as a display. After a while, they finally arrived in front of a room.

“Master Ryuma has arrived,” said the waiter as he lightly knocked on the door.

“Let him in. You can go.”

“Good.”

The servant bowed politely to Arthur, letting him in and leaving.

“Excuse.”

Arthur said in a relaxed tone. When he entered the room, he was immediately greeted with a view of the room that was so luxurious and beautifully decorated. In the middle of the room, there was a large table that had been arranged. There were three figures of old men sitting on their seats.

Looking at the three of them, Arthur raised his eyebrows. He had clearly seen the three of them because the three old men were the ones who came when they first infiltrated the palace. Other than Masanobu, there were two older men who looked older. One of them was a 2-star gold-level cultivator and the other a 3-star gold-level cultivator.

“Sit down, Mr. Ryuma.”

Hearing Masanobu's words, Arthur nodded lightly. The young man then sat down on a chair then looked at them all in silence.

“Good. First of all, I thank you for coming, Mr. Ryuma.”

“Tell me the reason you invited me, Mr. Masanobu. I'm not so interested in compliments or things like that.”

Seeing Arthur so directly, Masanobu took a deep breath and calmed himself. After a while, he then explained.

“You should have heard of the cold iron mine problem right, Mr Ryuma?”

Hearing the question, Arthur nodded lightly.

“The reason why I invited you is actually simple, I want to rent your services. You will help the three of us fight the creature, and I will pay you a satisfactory price. Besides it-“

“Enough, Mr. Masanobu. Do you think I'm stupid? Stop playing such tricks in front of me, old men.

You want to ask for my help and pay cheaply while you split the mine? Do you think everyone is that stupid?

“...”

Hearing the blunt words from Arthur's mouth, Masanobu gnashed his teeth. He felt very angry, but since Arthur's words were a fact, the old man simply chose to be quiet.

“Mr Ryuma does have a temperament. First of all, introduce, my name is Kijimura, the patriarchal representative of the Jade Deer Sect.”

“Ryuma,” reply Arthur.

The man who looked the oldest was not angry at all. Instead, he gave a friendly smile.

“Not that we have not invited them, but the other two sects chose not to interfere because of the high risk. Unlike those who are middle-level sects, low-level sects like the two of us need more resources. So we, two patriarchal representatives, chose to go forward to take the risk.

Maybe our eyes earlier blinded greed. So, what if we give you 10% of the annual mine net? That's more than enough, isn't it? Think of it as our sincerity and apology.”

“That's not sincere at all, Old Man. Besides, I don't know what kind of creature you want to fight. Also, I have absolutely no interest in fighting evil spirits or demons.”

Arthur shook his head.

“Isn't that rich enough already, son? You save 10% for yourself while despite having a ration of 30%, it should still be divided to the sect behind us.”

The other old man who had been silent earlier finally spoke up. Hearing that, Arthur shrugged with an indifferent expression.

“That's because you guys are tied to a sect. Even so, please do not threaten me with a sect-like existence. As a representative of the patriarch, having cultivation at such a level meant that the patriarch himself might not reach platinum level. Moreover, the rest were even lower.

Such a small sect ..don't try to threaten me if you don't want to suffer a loss. If you try, it is not impossible for your sect to disappear from the mainland as often happens to other small sects.”

Hearing Arthur's words, the expressions of the three old men instantly turned ugly. From Arthur's remark and his ridicule as if seeing a gold-level cultivator was trivial, they immediately confirmed that Arthur must be from a certain great sect or powerful clan. After all, the existence of platinum levels could only be achieved by the humans who were at the top.

Arthur made them think in such a way with his bragging skills. Of course, the Dragon Dojo and the Heavenly Pillar Sect themselves were the peak existences of the human race. Despite having left, Arthur is still considered an unofficial member.

Kijimura let out a long breath. Looking at the man in front of her, she asked.

“Then, how much do you want to help us surpass Ground Dragon level gold star 5?”

“I've told you, it's not about money or how much-“

Before Arthur finished his words, he was stunned. The young man then gazed towards Kijimura with an astonished expression.

“What did you say?”

“How much do you want?”

“Not it.”

“Ground Dragon level gold star 5?”

Hearing that, the eyes behind the cover instantly sparkled. He was very interested in dragon meat. Real dragons are extremely rare, even weak levels are usually at the platinum level, meaning the ones they are fighting are not real dragons. The young man immediately pensively.

‘Stay only, because there is still the word ‘naga’ in his name ..’

Arthur stroked his chin while wondering.

‘The flesh will definitely not feel so bad, right?’
