Chapter 200 Trede
Ike smiled and introduced:
"This is Mr. Trede, a famous hunter in town."
Just like Ike's family had been mayors of the town for generations, Tred's ancestors were all hunters, so everyone in his family was famous for their excellent marksmanship.
The hunter who found the monster that tried to occupy the castle dead in the mountains a few years ago was Tred.
"Mr. Tred used to be an exorcist, but he's retired now," Ike explained with a smile.
Because he had once wanted to become an exorcist, Ike admired Tred very much and learned a lot about exorcists from Tred.
When Tread retired due to injury, Ike was so sad that he cried all day and was heartbroken for a long time.
Lin Jiu nodded, then he looked at Tread and nodded.
"Hello."
Trede didn't respond, but instead said, "Newcomers shouldn't be sent on this kind of mission. The guild might as well just ignore the castle's commissions."
Treed's voice was low and hoarse, and his tone was so flat that it sounded like he was dissatisfied.
Ivan frowned slightly, and Ike quickly spoke up: "Uncle Trede means no harm, he's just worried about you."
Even without Ike's explanation, Lin Jiu knew that although Tred had a cold expression on his face, the kindness he exuded was more obvious than Ike's.
Perhaps knowing he could be misunderstood, Tred turned to Ike and handed him the prepared rabbit. "Take the extra one and eat it."
The two families often had dealings with each other, so Ike didn't hesitate. After thanking him, he took the two processed rabbits.
"Won't you come in and sit down?"
After hearing this, Trede looked at Lin Jiu and the others and shook his head.
"Let's go." Tred said, turned and left.
After watching him leave, Ike turned to look at Lin Jiu and the others, and said with a hint of apology: "Uncle Trede has always been a little dissatisfied with the guild's handling of the castle..."
Of course, part of the reason was that Tred was sulking about his own powerlessness.
Charles smiled slightly: "We understand."
Not long after Tred left, Lin Jiu and the other two decided to return to the castle.
Ike took them straight out of town.
"Everyone must be careful. No matter what, safety is the most important thing."
The worry on Ike's face became more obvious after they left the town.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Lin Jiu said with a smile: "But you guys should be careful."
"Please rest assured. Although the castle's problems have existed for a long time, they have never affected the town. Besides... we are not incapable of self-defense."
Ike's words reminded Lin Jiu of the cross in his yard.
Although this self-protection ability is probably not as strong as before, Lin Jiu did not say anything.
Ike watched the three of them walk up the mountain road, his hands clenched tightly together because of nervousness and worry. Even though he could no longer see Lin Jiu and the others, he stood there worriedly and did not leave for a long time.
"Don't stand here and worry." Tred's voice suddenly sounded.
Ike was startled and turned around to see that Tred had stood beside him.
Treed looked towards the mountain and said slowly, "The one who looks the youngest is not simple."
Whether it was because he was once an exorcist or a hunter, Tred's intuition was quite sharp.
When he saw Lin Jiu, he noticed the different aura on Lin Jiu.
Hearing this, Ike was stunned: "Are you talking about Mr. Lin Jiu?"
"His name is Lin Jiu..." Trede lowered his eyes and frowned slightly, "This name..."
"What's wrong with the name?" Ike was puzzled.
After a moment of silence, Trede said, ".....I seemed to have mentioned this name when I was talking to my friend at the Weird Security Company not long ago."
As he spoke, he looked towards the mountain again.
"I wonder if it's the same person. If so..." Tredd paused and sighed softly, "Maybe this really is the last time."
.......
"Ahhh!"
At the same time on the mountain, Lin Jiu suddenly sneezed.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Charles asked immediately.
Lin Jiu rubbed his nose and shook his head.
"No, I feel like someone is talking about me behind my back." As he said that, Lin Jiu narrowed his eyes, as if he was wondering who it could be.
The small lamp in his hand flickered.
They thought that they would no longer need this lamp when daybreak came, but unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Jiu and his companions stepped onto the mountain road, the world fell into darkness.
Ivan couldn't help but curse on the spot, "What a psycho."
Fortunately, they didn't encounter any strange things along the way, and the situation they encountered when going down the mountain did not happen again.
Arriving near the castle, the surroundings returned to normal, except that the sunlight was severely blocked. The door of the castle was open. When Lin Jiu walked in, Todd was in the living room, but there was no sign of anyone else.
Seeing Lin Jiu and the others coming back, Todd immediately stood up from the sofa and strode over.
"Nothing happened, did you?"
Lin Jiu shook his head.
Todd breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad you're okay. The others are in the restaurant. I'll ask the butler to prepare lunch for you."
But for Lin Jiu and the others, it should be breakfast.
After all, I got up in the middle of the night and went down the mountain without eating.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiu and Ivan's brain channels synchronized.
Lin Jiu/Ivan: You’re really crazy.
They let people go without any food in the morning.
Pure nerves.
The three of them came to the restaurant, and everyone else looked happy to see them back.
Ivan put the bag aside, pulled out a chair and sat down.
For veteran players, skipping a meal is nothing, and they won’t feel weak, but after getting used to three meals a day, Ivan always feels like his stomach is a little uncomfortable.
Lin Jiu sat down and then lay down, but before that he took a look at what the others were eating.
It's pasta.
The butler and Todd came over quickly. Seeing the fresh ingredients on the cabinet nearby, the butler first politely thanked Lin Jiu and others, then hurried to the kitchen with the ingredients.
After Todd sat down, he did not ask in detail what Lin Jiu and others encountered after arriving in the town. He only told them about the situation in the castle when they were away.
Todd had breakfast today with Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The players did not meet them, but they had breakfast with Anna and Joel.
Hearing this, Lin Jiu's expression changed slightly.
It seems that the speculation that Mr. and Mrs. Smith may no longer be around can be ruled out.
But Lin Jiu still needed to see Mr. and Mrs. Smith in person before he could make a final judgment, because there was no guarantee whether Mr. and Mrs. Smith’s situation was the same as the housekeeper’s.
Made into a puppet.
