Volume 3: The Nameless Chapter 85 You have completed the novice guide, quickly pick up your weapons and kill a god
Mason's question to the hunter as to whether he had anything else to say was merely a polite gesture.
You can't just kick them out, that would be too unemotional.
Unexpectedly, just because he was polite, his boss actually took advantage of the situation and gave him a new task, which made Mason almost lose control of his expression on the spot.
"Do you want me to remind you?"
Mason sat on the chair with a gloomy face and said to Mr. Hunter in front of him:
"Team K just escaped from a dangerous world where they killed 11 B-class teams. They also saved a great mentor and brought back valuable intelligence to the organization and handed it over in time.
In this case, you guys don't give us rewards, but you also let us go straight to the next task without any rest? You really treat us like animals!
If this happened in an ordinary company, I think I could have applied for labor arbitration, what do you think? "
"Don't be impatient, just listen to me."
Faced with Mason's series of complaints, Mr. Hunter was in the wrong and the man in front of him had just saved his life, so he didn't have the courage to speak. He could only try his best to comfort him without any dignity as a superior:
"I'm not picking on this, but it was planned long ago. I was going to release it after you completed the forced development. It's not a whim, nor is it what you want.
The only problem is that no one could have imagined that the originally peaceful world of assassins would lead to such a big incident, and no one wants to see that.
But the mission process has been determined.”
She glanced at Mason, took out a document and handed it to him, saying:
“If Team K really doesn’t want to go out, that’s fine.
This is not a mandatory pioneering mission, you have the right to refuse. I will arrange other teams to complete this task , but you may need to give up your base world. "
"Wait, let me take a look first."
Mason took the document and read it carefully, then his expression turned grim.
He looked up and said:
"The world codenamed 021825 produced a weak divine reaction? This coordinate refers to our world..."
"Yes, World No. 1825 was discovered after the Second Impact. It is Team K's exclusive world. The main civilization is modern human society, and the supernatural civilization is characterized by 'pirates'."
The hunter spread his hands and explained:
“That was the world that Old K had chosen. We knew very early on that there was a natural spirit there, and Old K was supposed to be responsible for finding her and hunting her down.
But the replacement of the team in the middle of the process postponed this matter. In fact, theoretically speaking, because the weaker god had entered a long-term hibernation and was slowly losing his divinity, her existence was basically an unnecessary addition.
However, things are now experiencing some minor setbacks.
Because of your involvement and your active involvement, the pirates of that world awakened the sea goddess Colepso just as the impact was about to come.
Her reactivation was immediately detected by the monitoring system of Star Castle.
I usually do this kind of thing myself, but right now the turmoil in the assassin world means I'm too busy to do it.
If you don't plan to go out, I will arrange for the next life or Exe team to go there in the name of "patrol", but this means you have to hand over the coordinates of your exclusive world."
Hunter reminds:
"I know you have invested a lot of energy in that world, but according to the prediction of the Destiny Machine, that world is unlikely to survive this impact, so my personal advice is to cut your losses quickly."
"Isn't she just an indigenous goddess?"
Mason was a little puzzled and frowned.
"You also said that Kolypso is just a weak god, right? How could her appearance be captured by the Star Fortress? I think there must be some inside story. Maybe you can explain it?"
"I'd love to tell you, but I can't."
The hunter pointed to his left arm cryptically and said to Mason:
"I can only remind you that Colepso herself is not a problem, but the supernatural divinity she possesses as a deity is a very rare 'resource' in the parallel world system.
This resource is related to the "foundation of existence" of the Star Society.
You must go there immediately and get the divinity of Kolypso before anyone else does, or better yet, kill her! Let the divinity dissipate in that ocean.
This matter is very important.
This is also the reason why I personally say it.
But I can only say this much. Explaining more will trigger some kind of 'monitoring'. Mason, I know you are interested in many things, but you have to find the answers yourself.
It's not that I want to be a riddler, but I'm not as free as you think."
She touched her wrist and whispered:
"Being a Grand Master has its price."
"I understand. But wait a minute."
Mason nodded. He could understand the hunter's difficulties.
But he looked at the document in his hand, which was obviously a copy, and at the bottom were the seals and signatures of the three great mentors of the Star Society and the headquarters of the Cleaner Corps. He raised his head, looked at her, and said:
"Team K has just passed the novice period... No, our novice protection period has not yet ended in theory. Do you want us to hunt down a god?
Do you have any misunderstanding about our strength?
Even a demigod like Sister Ka can beat you up. I think this job is beyond our capabilities."
"Even in this situation, do you still think your 'Sister Ka' is an ordinary demigod?"
The hunter now gets a headache whenever she hears the name "Cassandra". She feels that her experience in the Isu world is enough to leave her with a small psychological trauma.
She sighed and said:
"Based on the information I got from her fight, that girl is obviously a product of the Isu people's biotechnology transformation. Her body has been upgraded to the strongest level below true divinity. She has also accumulated unimaginable combat experience due to her extended life. In addition, she holds a magic weapon made by the Isu people themselves.
It is no exaggeration to say that if you throw her into the Star Castle, she can kill from the first floor to the top floor, and then from the top floor back to the first floor without even taking a breath.
Although she is called a demigod, she does not have any divinity!
Therefore, those weapons and devices designed to restrain divinity are completely useless to her, which is equivalent to her having the dual advantages of "human" and "god" at the same time.
Given the pitiful power system in the Caribbean world, it would be amazing if Colepso, who has a limited upper limit, can hold out for ten minutes against your fully-powered Sister Ka.
That sea goddess isn't as strong as you think.
Since she can be sealed by mortals, she can also be killed by mortals. Of course, I will not let you fight against a divine creature with your flesh and blood."
Mr. Hunter shook his head, took off his sword and handed it to Mason.
explain:
"This is an 'anti-divine weapon'. Take it with you and strike the sea god's heart at the critical moment . Your mission will be accomplished."
"That's more like it."
Mason took the sword from the hunter and pulled out one-third of the blade, but the hunter held it down with his hand.
She reminded:
"She has a bad temper, and you're not a weapons master who's good with a knife, so don't bother her if you don't have to."
"Why are there all these weird things all over your body?"
Mason complained and asked again:
"What about Old J? You just said that the Caribbean world is unlikely to escape the doomsday impact. What should he do?"
"You don't need to get involved in Old J's affairs."
The hunter shook his head and said:
"He is a 'special member' that Quint will pay special attention to. Someone will pick him up and send him to where he should go. Maybe you will meet again in the future, in a certain world or in a certain war.
Just remember, don't stay too long, Mason.
When the impact occurs, the spatial structure between the parallel worlds will be severely damaged. There is a certain probability that the world gate will fail, and even I will not be able to travel freely under such circumstances.
So if you are still in that world when the end comes, I can only wish you the best of luck. "
After saying that, she was about to leave.
But Mason stopped him with the scabbard in his hand.
The hunter turned around in surprise and heard Mason ask a question that gave her even more headaches.
"What about the survivors of that world?"
He said:
"You should have a device to transfer them on a large scale. I heard your conversation with Miss Anna in your office last time. It's something called the 'Transfer Gate'.
It seems that it can transfer life on a large scale?"
"That's strategic material, Mason!"
The hunter gritted his teeth and said:
"Each one is custom-made in the Forging World and has a unique number. It is impossible to use it in a worthless world like the Caribbean. You are making things difficult for me."
"Look, do you remember what we just said?"
Mason didn't argue. He put down the knife in his hand, and disappointment appeared in his eyes.
He shook his head and said:
"Quint Club claims to do things differently from Stellaris Club, but your response once again proves that they are just the same as Stellaris Club.
Hey, hunter, when you use something like 'value' to measure the survival of a world, you can no longer be a partner of justice.
Okay.
Since you are in trouble, forget it.
I will find a way myself, but please don't tell your superiors about the agreement between Sister Ka and me. This is not a request, it's for the safety of both of us.
That's it, I'm busy, I won't see you off."
After saying that, Mason picked up the helmet of the Vanguard Armor next to him and jumped back to his suitcase factory without looking back. The suitcase jumped in place and closed with a click, bringing peace back to the basement.
The hunter turned and silently opened a door leading to the Star Castle.
As she stepped in, her hands were clenched tightly, indicating that she was not at peace.
When Mason looked at her with disappointment just now, she knew that her image in Mason's eyes, which had just improved, might have become much worse again.
Although the trust and goodwill of a C-level rookie were not important things to a great mentor like her, she really couldn't vent the unhappiness in her heart.
Mason Cooper is truly an amazing person, amazing in every way.
But he was too young.
He always felt that those invisible rules could not bind him, but who doesn't have shackles?
——
Mason was not disappointed when he returned to the suitcase factory.
The hunter's refusal was expected. To be honest, he had no intention of getting any help from those bastards from the Star Society. He had his own plans for the Caribbean world.
Now his attention was on the knife in his hand.
" Hey, you've been exposed!"
He stroked the sword in his hand and said something in a low voice.
He had seen Mr. Hunter holding a sword before. The sword had appeared when he had tested his superior and the latter had played a trick on him and pretended to chop him.
In fact, Mason recognized Mr. Hunter's saber the last time he saw it.
Seeing some of the features of the sword at such a close distance this time, the name of this thing suddenly popped up in his mind.
He grasped the sandalwood handle of the knife with his left hand, his fingers touched the cross-shaped silver guard, and with a swish, he pulled it out one-third of the way.
If you look closely at the shiny blade, you can see beautiful cloud patterns, like mysterious inscriptions, and the blood groove on the blade used to reduce weight makes it even more fierce.
Mason could literally feel the knife pulsating in his hand as he gripped the supposedly "ill-tempered" weapon. The young man didn't let go of the handle, as he studied it carefully, waiting for the information tag to pop up.
A few seconds later, a layer of red light lit up in his field of vision:
Alice of Olgierd
Quality: Legendary Forging/Enchantment/Inscription Creation·Immortal Craftsmanship
Weapon characteristics: cannot be viewed without permission
Weapon effects: Not allowed to view without permission
Forger: Everec the First
Item Description: Only a heart of stone is worthy of wielding this blade forged with love, cruelty, and revenge.
Current owner: Mr. Hunter/Ms. ???
hint:
This weapon has a special high-level enchantment that enables it to suppress and deeply kill divine creatures.
Additional Notes:
Now have you guessed who your beautiful, cold and charming female boss is? If you can't guess it, I can only say that you have a pig brain!
"Tsk, not only did I guess who she was, I even have the private photos of her when she was unconscious."
The item description made Mason curl his lips.
Previously in Assassin's World, when the Hunter's mask was broken by Sister Ka, Mason hit her with a club and knocked her out, but he admired her face up close and took a picture.
The hunter herself might have noticed this, but she didn't mention it.
Is this a little tacit understanding between the two of them?
To be honest, there was a moment just now when Mason really wanted to shout out the hunter's real name to scare her, but in that one-tenth of a second he still restrained his urge to commit suicide.
Although he didn't quite understand why this young lady had become the leader lurking in the villain organization, he connected Old K's heritage and the words the hunter said when facing Old K's Gwent cards, and with the addition of the fairy tale kingdom that had become Star Castle, it was not difficult for him to piece together the truth of the whole story.
When Mason mentioned the name "Geralt" when talking about Quint's club just now, he was not making it up. He was deliberately observing the hunter's performance.
As a result, the latter behaved very professionally, showing no surprise at all, just like a real underground worker.
"It's really disappointing."
Mason casually threw the immortal sword in his hand onto the workbench and prepared to study the "God-killing Inscription" on the sword. He grumbled quietly:
"I had hoped to see the legendary white wolf Mr. 'Gay Camel' with my own eyes, but now it seems that guy has long been dead, leaving only a lonely girl lurking in the enemy camp to avenge her parents.
Tsk, such a simple and pure starting point, it is indeed the stubborn style of the demon hunters.
I can probably guess how the old silver coins in the Quint Club persuaded her to join. It has been more than ten years and she hasn't made any progress at all.
It's true that you are good at taking action but not at planning!"
He sighed, stroked the bright and cold blade, felt the weapon pulsating at his fingertips and the suppressed but surging murderous intent.
As a craftsman, he really liked this cold work of killing art and felt sorry for its current fate.
"Such a perfect weapon is just an identity disguise.
If I remember correctly, Ciri's real strength is swordsmanship rather than knife skills. If the enemy really thinks that she relies on this thing to fight, then she will definitely give them a big surprise.
Let me think about how much wealth Father White Wolf left to his daughter.
Holy Sword of the Lady of the Lake, Heritage of the Wolf, Legacy of the Wild Hunt, Blood of the Elders...tsk tsk, these together are enough to create a super Avenger.
If they really fight to the death, even a heroine like Sister Ka might lose arms and legs."
As he spoke, he picked up the communicator and passed the message to his companions to assemble and prepare to set off.
The events in the Caribbean world were indeed important, and Mason did not intend to drag them on. Only a little bit of sand remained in the hourglass he had obtained before, which meant that Mason was about to see the true face of the disaster with his own eyes.
To be honest, he was looking forward to it.
As for the mission itself...
He never intended to do it in a routine way.
Follow the mission instructions step by step to the end? No, that's not the style of Team K and Mason. Well, the storm is coming again, and it's time to show off your skills.
