Chapter 319 Chapter 317 "Which side"

Su Mingan watched Kasan's somewhat stooped figure slowly walk away, and heard Alcherev's voice: "... what happened thirty years ago, was it you... was it you?"

"it's me."

Su Mingan has no need to deny it.

If Su Lin was the one who saved Archerev at that time, this would be a life-saving grace.

"Father."

 Archerev knelt on one knee, took off his hat, and lowered his head.

The scene at the moment was a bit strange. A gray-haired old man knelt down on one knee in front of a young man with a young face, and called "Father" in his mouth.

This "Father" is just like what the Duke called Su Lin at that time. It is the honorific title given by the transformed Soul Clan to the Soul Clan who transformed them.

At this moment, Su Mingan heard that the favorability of the old man in front of him had soared to ninety-five.

The other party's trust was delivered quite quickly, as if the answer had been anticipated.

Su Mingan began to ask for information about the situation of the soul clan.

According to Alcherev, from the moment God's blessings began to appear in Praia forty years ago, the strength of the hunters has been greatly enhanced, and the soul tribe was forced to hide in the night.

They cannot hunt openly during the day, otherwise they will be surrounded and suppressed by the soul hunting team.

Although the number of soul hunters in Praia is far less than the number of soul clans, the soul hunters control Praia's large barrier. Even though humans die every day, it is impossible for the Soul Clan to control it, start a large-scale battle with humans, and completely reverse the situation.

 The two sides maintain a very delicate balance.

 The soul race cannot prey on humans unscrupulously, and can only be forced to live among humans.

 Soul hunters cannot completely wipe out the soul tribe, and soul hunters often die in the line of duty.

 Like an ecosystem.

 Big fish eat small fish, and small fish will continue to reproduce, eventually bringing the ecosystem into balance.

"The discipline among the Soul Clan is quite loose. Since the Soul Clan cannibalize each other, we are also enemies with each other." Archerev said this and sighed slightly: "After all, the Soul Clan cannot be as united as humans... because Both fellow humans and human beings, in our eyes, may become food—that’s what I mainly want to be sure of now.”

Archerev raised his head, with a glimmer of light in his eyes:

 “Which side do you belong to?”

　　　…”

"Or rather." He put on his hat and straightened it up: "—Which party do you want to help?"

He stared at Su Mingan’s pure white mask:

“I heard during the day that a young S-class soul hunter with black hair and golden eyes came to Praia’s soul hunting department. Now it seems that that person should be you.”

 “It’s me.” Su Mingan did not deny it.

Alcherev looked at him: "You have the powerful strength needed by both camps, and so far it is difficult for me to tell whether you belong to the soul clan or the human race. Can you tell me... which camp do you lean towards? "

Su Mingan thought for a moment:

 “Currently a soul hunter.”

"Currently...? I understand." Alcherev nodded, his expression still calm: "Then when you decide to lean towards the soul camp, please come to me and I will provide you with the best help."

Su Mingan understood what the other party meant.

Even though he already knew that Su Ming'an was the one who transformed him thirty years ago, Alcherev was still unwilling to betray the soul clan and completely devoted himself to the soul hunting camp where Su Ming'an belonged.

It’s just that Alcherev promised that when Su Mingan defected to the soul camp, he would do his best to provide help.

In this way, when Su Mingan earns enough points in the soul hunting camp, he can switch to the soul clan camp very smoothly.

Alcherev, who has a favorability level of 95, will become his safe bridge.

 Archerev handed him a wooden sculpture.

The lines of the wood carving are very indirect and tough. This is a wood carving of a human figure. The human head occupies two-thirds of the entire piece of wood, and the lines of the lips are carved in a particularly ferocious way.

"I will find where you live within tomorrow." He said: "If you decide to switch to the Soul Clan camp, please place this wooden sculpture in front of the window, and I will be ready as soon as possible."

Su Mingan took the wood carving and heard the system prompt.

  【*You have obtained a special prop (the despicable wood carving)】

　　【Wooden Sculpture of the Despicable: Placed at the player's settlement, it can continuously provide +level of luck to the players in the settlement. (This prop can be taken out of the instance.)

  Note: A residence requires the following determination: a building that has internal space and can provide sleeping. 】

 …

Su Mingan didn’t expect such an unexpected surprise.

 In the future, he can put this thing in his personal space, and his skills in drawing various props are guaranteed.

 He said goodbye to Archerev and rushed to the Red Mansion.

 On the road, Su Mingan was thinking.

He doesn't think Su Lin is a pure villain, nor does he think the other person is a bad guy who does all kinds of evil in order to expand the race. Otherwise, there is no need for Su Lin to develop only one Alcherev. With his ability to develop the soul clan, he has been able to turn the entire Praia into a paradise for the soul clan in the past sixty years.

 …Su Lin must be planning something.

 This matter will not be known until he unlocks Su Lin's ability.

On Ying's side, the escaped soul clan had been hunted down one by one. Su Mingan remotely ordered Ying to pretend to be an independent foreign tourist and sign up for the soul hunting camp to earn camp points at the same time.

 He rushed out of the alley, and people on both sides avoided him like the **** of plague.

He had a strong smell of Soul Clan blood on his body, and he was holding a sword in his hand. This group of people who only knew how to have fun and drink had never seen such a situation before.

With a look of fear in his eyes, he pushed away the waiting girl in front of the red building who was still alive and dead, stepped on the door rail and jumped into the second floor, just in time to see the embarrassing scene of Lu Shu and Lin Yin.

 …

 “Master Soul Hunter.”

When walking out of the red building, a man wearing a black uniform and a soul hunting medal was waiting at the door.

A team of soul hunters is blocking the place. They are holding weapons vigilantly and using test stones to check for suspicious persons.

 When Su Mingan went out, their eyes glanced over, with various emotions in their eyes.

To the side, a man in black uniform came forward and spoke in a gentle tone:

"Thank you, great S-class soul hunter. Your operation to destroy the soul clan's stronghold this time is going very well. Our people are cleaning up the remaining soul clan who are scattered and fleeing. I believe that it won't be long before the soul clan in the East District will be destroyed." It will converge.”

Su Mingan glanced at him: "There is something wrong with your soul hunting intelligence."

 The man's expression stiffened a little.

“That gathering point contains high-level soul clans that are no less powerful than S-class soul hunters.” Su Mingan said: “If there are problems with the most critical information, the problems within the soul hunters are quite serious.”

"I'm very sorry. This is indeed a mistake made by our second-line soul hunting intelligence department." The man also put down his smile: "I understand, and I will report the matter truthfully. However, you can also communicate with the leader in person."

"What?"

“The leader, Lord Elras, has received news that you have performed well in this mission, and he wants to meet with you. Is it convenient for you tomorrow morning?”

"I have time."

"Okay. You can come to the Central Soul Hunting Area at any time tomorrow morning. The location of the Central Soul Hunting Area has direct access to three rivers, and the leader will be waiting for you there. Your points and additional rewards for this mission , and the adult will issue it to you."

 …Central Soul Hunting Area.

Su Mingan remembered this location. It seems that his strength has exceeded the expectations of soul hunters, and even the biggest soul hunters want to see him.

 “I understand,” he replied.

 “Then.” The man moved away and bowed to him:

 …“…Have a peaceful night.”

This is a blessing for the residents of Praia.

 For them, having a peaceful night without being attacked by the soul clan is the most realistic blessing.

 In the eyes of the soul hunters with different emotions, Su Mingan got on the boat on his way back.

 The boatman started rowing the oars.

The night here seems less silent. Sitting on a boat on the river, Su Mingan can hear the rapid footsteps and bursts of gunshots on both sides of the river. There are battles being fought fiercely.

These sounds of fighting will probably last until daytime, when the sky lights up.

 The dead become corpses, and those who wake up from the morning light will bury them.

 Spirit people and humans, spirit people and hunters.

 Unique racial divisions have created today's Praia. In the **** battle, both sides are fighting for their simple survival.

He listened carefully to the sounds on the shore, and suddenly heard the boatman's somewhat erratic voice coming from the front of the boat:

“Sir, have you just returned from a mission?”

Su Mingan responded.

“…Thanks to your existence, Praia is so safe.” The boatman’s voice drifted over.

…Safety?

 Perhaps this is true for some residents under the protection of Soul Hunters.

"I've heard before that the Huajie area is in chaos, but despite this... the Soul Hunters have never sent people to exterminate them in time, and have been letting the residents die there. Even, I just heard on the shore, the Soul Hunters over there There is also a problem with intelligence... This is the most important intelligence department, and there is actually a problem with this area..."

As the boatman was talking, Su Mingan noticed something was wrong with him.

The other party's words were too fluent, and the direction of his speech was also very obvious. He didn't look like a boatman making a living on the river bank at all.

The boat floated slightly on the river. He held on to the eaves of the boat, ready to leave at any time due to spatial displacement.

He has no confidence in fighting in the water. None of his skills allow him to see and breathe underwater. If this disguised boatman wants to take action, he will not wait here for the boat to capsize.

"...Master Soul Hunter went through life and death for Praia, risking his life to protect the residents of Praia. However, the Soul Hunting Department responsible for dispatching tasks has such a big mistake... In this way, how can Master Soul Hunter save precious The safety of our lives is left in the hands of such an organization..."

The boatman said, stopping the oar in his hand.

 The ship has arrived.

Su Mingan jumped onto the shore and saw the boatman throwing something towards him.

 “Ding dong!”

The thing landed on the ground, and through the faint light of the oil lamp, Su Mingan saw clearly that it was a golden gem.

“Tomorrow night, you can enter Huali Street, South District, holding this token, and no one will stop you.” The boatman rowed the oars, and the lights swayed faintly.

The boat left in the current, and the boatman's voice floated over with a hint of smile:

 “Lord Sevia, the leader of the soul clan, looks forward to meeting you.”
