The Story of Demon Hunter

Jade Lake City

“It seems we need to find a member who is an expert in runes and making amulets, Joe.”

Sitting on a flying sword, a blank expression appeared on Arthur's face. Sensing a cold gust of autumn wind sweeping across his face, the young man felt that traveling using a flying sword was truly unpleasant. He immediately said the sentence because he did not want to get cold in the winter.

Even if the cold wind did not kill a cultivator of his level, Arthur still did not like such an uncomfortable feeling. He felt, while he could get something easier and more comfortable, why should he always make things difficult for himself. To complicate yourself is a stupid decision.

“Isn't this refreshing, Boss?” jotaro asked with a puzzled expression.

“Didn't you feel it? The more it feels the colder it becomes. If this continues, we will have trouble in winter.

I must find an expert in making runes and talismans. Create a horse carriage with a room that can be adjusted to the temperature. Traveling will definitely be easier!”

“Isn't that too long, Boss?”

“Long-time. But what is wrong with using free time to relax? Will the group continue to send missions without a break? Obviously not, right?

Eh? Wait a minute.”

Thinking of a few seniors busy going around to complete the task, Arthur's expression turned for the worse. He only realized that their work schedule was not only solid, but very solid!

“They won't tell us to drive around in winter right, Joe?”

“Errrr .. possible?” Jotaro scratched his cheek while putting on a thoughtful expression.

“Am I not the chairman of division 10, Joe?”

Arthur asked with a pensive expression.

“True, Boss.”

“Being the leader, doesn't that mean living favors? I mean, most leaders have their subordinates work while they take people's money and raise their own stomachs, right?

Lookatme! Skinny dry and can collapse in the wind, but still told to go around hunting evil creatures. What kind of empty degree is this!”

Arthur scratched his head with a depressed expression on his face.

“Didn't Mr Arima also go around a lot, Boss?”

“Shut! Don't compare me to that workaholic guy!”

“...”

Jotaro was completely silent. He felt so wrong. Silence is blamed, answering is also blamed. Looking at the division head who seemed useless when it was not needed, the man could only let out a long sigh.

“See that, Joe! What a huge lake!”

After the view of the vast forest filled with fallen leaves, there was a view of the vast lake. Near the lake, there is a city that is not too big with traditional buildings.

The name of the city is Jade Lake City, where they will carry out the mission.

Almost all residents in Lake Jade City are people who depend their lives by cultivating freshwater fish in the lake. They sold it to other cities. Although the amount they spend every month is very much, everything is still sold because the fish in this lake is quite typical. Although not monsters or special animals, the fish still had a good taste, savory, rather sweet, and not too fishy.

“Eh? Why are you taking out the fishing rod, Boss?”

“Although most residents of the city use the lake as a freshwater fish farm, but not the entire lake is used. In fact, less than 1/3 of the lakes they use as cultivation sites, and it is already considered the largest fishery in the kingdom.

“...”

For some reason, Jotaro felt that Arthur suddenly forgot the reason they bothered to come to this place. Merely, when he saw the young man's excited expression, he did not dare to interrupt at all. The man felt that he might be dropped from the top of the flying sword if he spoke out now.

“Wait a minute! The reason we came here was definitely not for fishing. Why don't you remind me, Joe?!”

“Take a deep breath, Joe. Calm yourself.” Jotaro muttered softly while calming himself down.

“We will go down and ask the city lord.”

Saving back his fishing rod, Arthur directs the flying sword to go towards the largest house in the city.

By the time they descended, it appeared that many people were looking at them with amazed expressions. Seeing such a scene, Jotaro let out a long sigh. Unlike some cities that had some cultivators because it was easily accessible so they could meet each other, in fact, more cities had no cultivators. Especially for cities on the border or remote locations away from the center of the royal capital.

Of course, places where there were mines or some locations that had enough benefits for cultivators were exceptions.

For example, this Jade Lake City. Although it was quite prosperous, but there were no cultivators living here. At least there were only a few of them who stopped by while wandering. Despite being close to the lake and the vast forest, there were absolutely no plants or any kind of precious stones here. Not only was the location remote, it was obvious that no monster would want to stay in a place with such arid qi energy like this.

Therefore, Arthur himself felt confused why the city lord bothered to hire the services of the Garden of Death which although good, but famous expensive. At first glance, there is absolutely no strangeness in the city.

Arthur shook his head. He did not want to think too much about it as he could ask for an explanation from the city lord.

The two of them leaped off the top of the flying sword, landing right in front of the city lord mansion's gate. Arthur immediately kept his flying sword. Sighing, the young man immediately said to the guard.

“Please call the City Lord. We are the representatives of the Garden of Death who came to carry out the mission.”

“Please wait a minute, Sir. We have reported and the Master will be out soon.”

Guards who wore combat clothes and carried weapons around their waists paid their respects to Arthur.

“Good.” Arthur nodded lightly.

After waiting for a while, they heard such heavy footsteps. The gate opened, and the figure of the city lord appeared before Arthur and Jotaro.

‘Round.’

That was the first thing Arthur and Jotaro thought of when they saw the stocky middle-aged man with a drooling head and narrowed eyes. The man walked over to Arthur and held his hand with a grateful expression.

“Thank God you have arrived, sir. If you don't show up, I really don't know what to do.

Uh! Stupid me! Forgive me for being too enthusiastic, gentlemen.”

The man immediately retreated. Having an embarrassed expression on his face, the middle-aged man again said.

“You must be tired after traveling. If you like, please come in to warm yourself up. Although not expensive, we also have a flagship product that you might like.

Typical unagi cuisine Jade Lake City!”

Hearing how enthusiastic the city lord was, Arthur and Jotaro looked at each other and shrugged. The two of them then entered the city lord's house.
