Game: I'm a Hunter in the Blood Curse World

Sweet Well Village.

Underground tomb.

Van En was standing in the tomb passage to the left of Master Maria's coffin, surrounded by the survivors of Sweet Well Village.

He stared at the nearly full tomb in front of him, looking somewhat dazed.

A few days ago, he spoke with Tanguy here, discussing things like the great hunt.

It was here that Van En passed Tang Ji's test and learned what had happened in Lu Ting back then.

Recalling what happened afterward, Van En felt as if he had lived through another world:

"These past few days have felt like years..."

Van En touched the epitaph on Tanguy's face and read it softly:

"Tangi William Gallagher, who died in the hunt, was a respectable hunter and a true William."

He risked his life to protect Master Maria's coffin and the women and children of Sweet Well Village.

He's an absolute man of our Sweet Well Village!

Fan En smiled to himself, thinking:

"Tang Ji, perhaps that last comment is the one you like the most!"

Van En glanced to the side of Tang Ji, where Karl's grave was located. However, there was no epitaph on it, only the words "Nameless Hunter" written on it.

Karl's body was discovered by Katya's father and brother.

To Van En's surprise, Carl never revealed his name to the people of Sweet Well Village.

The villagers only knew that there was a small ranch on the edge of the village, where an old hunter lived in seclusion but loved to help villagers who were lost in the forest.

From time to time, Karl would also share any extra food he had with the villagers.

Vane knew why Carl did this: to cover his tracks and protect the secrets he had discovered.

Looking at the simple epitaph, Fan En sighed softly and returned to the villagers' group.

The young priest who had come with Van from Putt Town nodded respectfully to Van after he finished his eulogy and began his work.

The priest took out ointment and applied it to the epitaphs of all the victims, then softly read:

May your souls find peace and sleep forever in the embrace of the Mother Goddess.

After doing all this, he took small silver blood lamps, each dyed with various colors and patterns, from the villagers, hung them one by one on the epitaphs of the deceased, and lit them.

The priest let out a long breath and stood in front of the villagers.

He cupped his hands into a crescent shape and placed them in front of his chest, facing the graves of the deceased, and softly sang a soothing hymn.

Fan En and the surrounding villagers struck the same pose and sang along.

At this point, all the funeral rites were concluded.

The villagers returned to the ground with somber expressions. After saying goodbye to each other, they went back to their temporary tents to prepare lunch.

Vann and Katya returned to his parents' tent and talked about their impending departure.

"This is Katya's honor! I have absolute confidence in her following you, our savior!"

Katya's mother smiled, but there was an unyielding sorrow in her eyes.

Van En looked at Katya's father and found that the man, who was only in his early fifties, already had a full head of white hair and was staring blankly at Katya.

Clearly, as parents, although they agreed, they were very upset to hear that their daughter was going far away.

Even the younger brother who once shouted "Lens will never back down" was now pouting and holding his sister's hand, looking reluctant to part.

Fan En felt he couldn't say anything at this moment, and even felt uncomfortable, like he couldn't sit still.

It was as if he were some stinky young man with dyed yellow hair, about to steal away someone's innocent young lady.

Katya, with her easygoing nature, broke the ice. She patted her brother's head, put her hands on her hips, and said:

"Joel, after I'm gone, you'd better take good care of the chores around the house! Don't tire out Mom and Dad!"

Joel puffed out his chest and said proudly:

"Don't underestimate me. I've grown up now, and I'll definitely be stronger than you in the future!"

"You...you can go without worry, go and kill those wild beasts with Lord Vane! In the future...in the future I want to be a hunter!"

"Why be a hunter!"

Katya's father suddenly stood up, hands on his hips, glaring at his son:

"Look at you, you idiot! Stay in the village and behave yourself!"

"In a couple of years, I'll send you to school in town for a few years. When you come back, you'll be busy farming and eventually get married to continue the Lenster bloodline!"

Joel blushed instantly, stood up abruptly, and confronted his father, saying:

"I'm not like you! I'll definitely bring glory to the Lenster name someday! If we don't become hunters, will we still have to run like dogs if something like this happens again?!"

"I'll make you a hunter!"

Katya's father pulled out a "black wooden stick" and threw it directly to Joel, saying:

"This is a weapon left by our ancestors, and you've never even opened it! You open it for me now, and you're a hunter! Otherwise, you'd better stay here and farm!"

The conflict between the father and son did not attract the attention of the mother and daughter.

Katya's mother was making lunch, while Katya yawned listlessly and helped her mother.

Fan En initially thought it was a case of domestic violence, but it turned out to be a "sect talent test".

He looked over curiously and found that the "black stick" seemed to be a sword, but because of the passage of time, the scabbard had been damaged and was almost unrecognizable.

Van En sniffed and faintly smelled blood.

Joel, his face flushed, struggled for a long time after receiving the black stick, but he couldn't pull the 'sword' open at all.

He threw the sword to the ground in dejection, his smile gone.

Katya picked up the sword, easily drew it back, glanced at the blade, stared at the black ash on it, frowned, and asked her mother:

"Mom? You're using the ancestral sword as a fire poker again!"

Katya's mother was unimpressed; she even took the sword, used the blade to poke at the firewood in the stove, and said nonchalantly:

"Lenste hasn't produced a hunter in 100 years. This thing is still useful as a fire poker."

Van En was greatly surprised, because the sword was clearly a high-quality weapon.

The blade still gleamed coldly, even carrying a strong killing intent.

But what puzzled him even more was why only women could pry open these men named Lenster, while men couldn't.

He suddenly remembered that Katya had an older sister named "Little Maria" who was exceptionally talented and was studying in Moonlit City.

Van En looked at the place where Master Maria rested and asked in confusion:

"What kind of man did you choose back then?"

Vann had no interest in the weapon; he knew the real treasure was still in Maria's coffin and had nothing to do with him.

Through Leslie's tutelage, Vann learned that the best weapon for a hunter is one that he can forge and upgrade himself.

"It's time to get Jiang Si to forge weapons; let's try to get the secondary weapons made before we reach Lu Ting."

The idea popped into Fan En's mind, and he planned to carry out the plan after returning to the carriage and entering his dream.

The quarrel between the father and son in Katya's house disappeared along with the rich aroma of food.

Watching the four people wolfing down their food, Vann swallowed hard, thinking that Maria must have hired a chef who could eat a lot.

But the next second, Van En felt a chill on his neck.

After giving an awkward laugh, he begged for mercy from the air and then joined the dry rice team.
