Chapter 310: three hundred and eight

Chapter 310 Chapter 308 · “What a coincidence”

 A middle-aged man named Xeri introduced him to Praia.

Playa is divided into four districts from east to west, north to south, of which the north district belongs to the royal city, the south district belongs to the soul hunting headquarters, and the east and west districts are more chaotic and dangerous, with a large number of dead appearing every night.

According to Xie Li, due to the blessing of the gods, there are not many soul hunters in Praia. Before the new batch of soul hunters signed up, there were a total of 123 local first-line soul hunters here. Among them, SS There is one level soul hunter, three S level soul hunters, and nine A level soul hunters.

 The only SS-level hunter lives in the royal city and is responsible for protecting the princess. One of the few S-level hunters is Su Mingan himself.

in other words…

Su Mingan, who just joined, is really one of the strongest soul hunting forces that Praia can mobilize so far.

 …No wonder Xie Li was so excited just now.

"The number of soul hunters was originally very small, because people without a certain level of strength simply could not fight head-on with the soul clan. But recently, a large number of people suddenly appeared who wanted to sign up to become soul hunters..." Xie Li said, and also Some confusion: "I still remember that just the day before yesterday... thousands of people suddenly came to the soul hunter registration point and said they wanted to become a soul hunter..."

Su Mingan listened and knew that the players were coming.

 Because the day before yesterday happened to be the first day the copy was opened.

 “Then what?” he asked.

"The Soul Hunting Club is a very serious organization, and it is not an activity where just anyone can play house." Xie Li said: "So, except for a small number of truly capable applicants who are incorporated into the team, the vast majority of them are We deport, or send to do some logistical work.”

 He said this and smiled:

“Some young people are unconvinced and say that we don’t trust them—but why should we leave this sacred job of ensuring people’s safety in the hands of a group of people who don’t know the basics?”

"and after?"

"Later..." Xie Li raised his head and seemed to glance at the sky: "These guys who made their own decisions and did not obey the orders, acted at night without authorization.

"Then the next day." Sherry lowered his head: "We went to recover their bodies."

Su Mingan laughed.

 In the channel chat yesterday, he saw some players complaining about the underworld in the night session.

 It is estimated that the number of employees has indeed been reduced a lot in the past few days.

"There are many alleys in Praia, and it becomes chaotic at night. Most of the fighting is street fighting, which is inconvenient for large numbers of people. Therefore, our soul hunting team is a streamlined ten-person team system. Each team is composed of B-class Soul hunting leaders and above..." Xie Li said, suddenly paused: "Look, we're here."

Su Mingan stared at the building in front of him.

This is a rare tall building in the island city of Praia. Different from the rows of bungalows he saw, it is four stories high. The style is also relatively modern, with smooth porcelain stone floors, white walls, and a single-line lamp on the top emitting steady light.

Waiting inside was a soul hunting team, two men and one woman. One of the young men was lying sprawled on the sofa inside, eating the fruit given by the maid next to him, with an extremely leisurely manner.

 The status of soul hunting is indeed not low.

The area of ​​Praia is not small. The number of locals, including outsiders, exceeds 300,000. However, there are only about 400 soul hunters who are actually responsible for front-line battles. The probability is nearly one in a thousand, making their status worse than Some minor nobles are even more noble.

 According to rough calculations, the number of souls in Praia is more than 500.

 This means that even if the soul hunters are at full strength, people will still die every day. The small number of soul hunters is the biggest factor that makes the soul clan rampant.

Su Mingan heard the conversation between two male soul hunters before he entered the door.

 He stopped deliberately. Xie Li on the side saw him and stopped too.

“…Why haven’t we been assigned a task yet? This is the third day since the dungeon has been opened.”

“Who knows, I think Ah San and the others have taken on several tasks. The manager even told us to wait.”

“Maybe it’s because we just signed up today. If we don’t have enough people to form a team, we have to wait for a few more team members.”

“Tch, the team cares about quality rather than quantity, so why do you need so many burdens? Didn’t you read what was said in the channel chat? The situation is very bad at night, and the large number of people is a hindrance..."

Su Mingan listened to the people chatting inside, and Xie Li beside him asked him in a low voice: "What's wrong? Sir."

Facing an S-class soul hunter like Su Mingan, Xie Li's attitude was almost humble.

 Soul Hunt is Praia’s lifeline. The characteristic of Praia's soul hunters is that they are generally weak in strength and lack peak combat power. S-class soul hunters are the largest force that can be mobilized at present. If they have a bad attitude and let people run away, they will still suffer.

 “Who is inside?” Su Mingan asked.

"Arna, Changtian, Luo Er. One B-level soul hunter and two C-level soul hunters." Xie Li said softly: "They are the three newly registered soul hunters today. Since our team is already full, So let them wait for the arrival of the new soul hunter first."

“There is a B-level soul hunter in there?” Su Mingan was a little surprised.

From the channel chat, he knew that B-level soul hunting was about the level of players with 1,200 to 1,500 combat power, a level that only the top fifty players in the world could reach.

Soul hunters at this level basically lead teams and serve as team leaders, but now they are being put on the bench...

"Sir, the team you are about to join is a special team of soul hunters." Sherry said: "Unlike the forty first-line soul hunter teams, we call a team like yours a 'hidden' soul hunter."

Su Mingan had a vague feeling of bad premonition.

Although players generally have little ability to resist the temptation of the word "hide", he who is familiar with the world of games knows that when encountering this special situation, 80% of the time it is the copy that will trick him.

“There are three hidden teams in the entire Praia, with about five people in total. They are the most streamlined teams.” Xeri introduced nicely: “Hidden Soul Hunters are used to perform some extremely special tasks...”

Perhaps Xeri’s voice was too loud, and the people inside stopped chatting.

  “—Who’s outside!”

A young man wearing a unique ancient robe and holding a long sword, fearing that others would not be able to tell that he was a player, came out.

In this small island full of Western style, this swordsman seems to be out of place.

“This is C-level soul hunter Changtian, and his ability is directed toward frontal attack.” Xie Li ignored him and turned to introduce to Su Mingan.

  The level of C-level soul hunters is uneven, ranging from about 800 to 1200 combat power. Even among players, they are still masters.

Su Mingan looked inside and saw a woman wearing a navy blue magic robe, and a young man with his back to the door, his head shrunk, and he looked particularly timid.

"That's Arna, a C-level soul hunter, whose abilities are in the direction of support and assistance." Sherry continued: "That's Luo Er, a B-level soul hunter, whose abilities are in concealment and insight... What a coincidence. , Sir, Arna and Lor, like you, are from the Art Empire..."

Needless to say to Xie Li, Su Mingan also instantly recognized the woman named Arna.

 Because he had seen her on the Yate, although it was only a quick glance, but he had a good memory. Her identity was the Countess of the Yate Empire, and Saya mentioned her during the chat.

 As for the young man next to you...

As if he heard the noise, the young man who shrank his head slowly turned around, with a look of horror visible to the naked eye on his face.

 …What a coincidence.

Su Mingan really didn’t expect to meet this guy here.

Just yesterday, this young man abandoned the boat and ran away, drifting away with the water as if he was being chased by a shark, looking very embarrassed.

His actions were made into emoticons by people on the forum, and it is said that they have started to go viral.

Lore is the alias of Yamada Machichi, who hid his identity on the Att.

When meeting Su Ming'an's eyes, Yamada Machichi looked behind him again and again.

 Yamada Machichi is a smart man. Thinking of the previous situation when a clone that looked like Su Ming'an appeared next to Su Lin, he has already realized that Su Lin is Su Ming'an.

 He did not dare to say anything, he just looked away.

At this moment, a piercing scream came out.

“—This, this guy named Su Lin, he is from the Soul Clan!” Arna screamed.

 She is a member of the Ater, so she naturally got on the lifeboat when she got here.

When she saw Su Lin, a guy who didn't get on the lifeboat at all but arrived safely in Praia, she realized something in an instant.

 …Staying on the Yat with a soul race and still reaching Praia safely, he must be that soul race!

"Miss Arna, calm down." Sheri frowned slightly: "This is Mr. Su Lin, an S-class soul hunter from Praia. He has an identity certificate issued by the Duke, and his identity cannot be false."

"Impossible!" Arna questioned: "He is just a viscount, how could he be an S-class soul hunter! If he was an S-class soul hunter, how could we be forced to abandon the ship and escape..."

Su Mingan looked at her and said the truth without stopping her.

 He knew that everything Arna said was true, truer than gold.

 But even if she said this, Xie Li would definitely stand on Su Ming'an's side.

 The detection stone cannot detect Su Ming'an's soul identity, so he is a human being in everyone's eyes. As long as he is a human and possesses the powerful strength suitable for an S-class soul hunter, he can only be regarded as a genuine S-class soul hunter.

 Otherwise, there is no other choice.

Because Praia needs him and such an S-level soul hunter.

Arna was still listing the evidence, but Cheri quickly interrupted her:

"Alright, Miss Arna." He said: "Soul hunters fight for Praia through life and death, and S-class soul hunters are currently the most powerful fighting force. I don't allow you to insult someone like this, coming all the way from the Art Empire. Support the soul hunter in Praia."

 Alna, who lost her composure, realized something.

"Wait a minute." She raised her eyelids, her eyes dull: "Is he an S-class soul hunter?"

 “You’re lying...” Chang Tian on the side was already stunned.

 From their understanding, an S-class soul hunter has a combat power of at least two thousand.

If this Su Lin was a player...

 Then there is only one possibility.

 Because so far, there is only one player in the world with a combat strength of more than 2,000.

"Su..." Changtian rubbed his lips, as if he was about to blurt out the name.

"Okay, Master Su Lin, we have introduced the members of your team." Xie Li spoke loudly, smiling and said to Su Mingan: "These three, as well as a knight from the royal city who is coming tomorrow, are your two There are four members of Team Twelve's squad, and you are their captain."

Chang Tian’s voice stopped.

Facing Su Mingan's gaze, he suddenly realized that if he revealed this person's identity here, he might face a very tragic outcome.

"Lord Su Lin, in the next few days, your twenty-two teams will be assigned some extremely important special tasks. By completing the tasks or killing the soul clan, you can get camp points. You can use the points to go to the second floor Exchange items at the exchange office." Xie Li handed a rectangular object like a transmitter to Su Mingan, and then gave three listening devices to the three players:

“Lord Su Lin, this is the communication device between your team and the Soul Hunting Headquarters. If the mission changes during the period, we will notify you as soon as possible.”

“As the captain, you can contact the headquarters and your four team members at any time, but your four teammates are not allowed to actively contact the outside world.”

“The soul tribe is somewhat sensitive to this communication device. If you encounter a critical situation that requires hiding, please do not activate the communication device, as this will allow them to quickly locate you.”

"You can go back and rest for a while. At eight o'clock in the evening, the East District Soul Hunting Department will call you to complete the first mission. Of course, you can choose whether to accept it depending on the difficulty. We will not force you. If you choose not to accept this special mission, we will There are also first-line soul hunting tasks such as area cleaning that can be entrusted to you."

“All in all, there’s a lot of freedom, as long as you make sure you stay alive.”

 Sheri said, the smile on his face became more and more obvious.

“—I wish you safe survival until the day when our great ‘Feast on the Sea’ begins.”
