Prologue The Land of the Edge

The year of the Age of God 1o16, dry season, dusk.

The sandy fields are not dead and silent, withered yellow weeds covering the field of view. Some areas are sparse and some areas are lush. Occasionally, a piece of bare sand is exposed, just like a scalp exposed with leprosy. The shrubs and short trees can be seen everywhere, releasing tenacious vitality from the barren land, and at the same time revealing a sense of decadence and decay.

When the wind blows, the weeds are like waves, stretching for hundreds of miles, and insects, birds, and beasts are roaring endlessly. A fire light comes out in the center, like a candlelight swaying in the darkness. This is like a ruin of an ancient elliptical stadium, with half of the side integrated with the mountain, and the other half is transformed into a settlement.

The gathering camp mainly relies on braziers and lantern lighting. Some people walk around the streets with light plants like pumpkins. The buildings here are dilapidated and simple. Occasionally, one or two exquisite wooden buildings appear, most of which are engraved with the signs of a church or chamber of commerce.

There are many pedestrians and rushing, including ragged beggars, tattooed deserters, vicious criminals, and gorgeously dressed businessmen. The groups are integrated but do not conflict. It seems that they are used to it in such places.

The tavern was filled with pungent smell of alcohol and sweat. The fierce bandits were drinking and shouting. Gamblers were betting around the ring to place bets, and low-key and silent travelers sat in the corner to taste wine.

A woman walked in, with short brown eyes, full and attractive breasts, round and plump buttocks, wearing only a tight leather jacket and an ordinary traveler's cloak. She walked directly to the bar counter and sat down, gently knocked on the iron-cast bar, and shouted: "Give me a glass of wine, the most expensive, the best, and the strongest!"

A whistle suddenly sounded around the bar.

All the men's eyes focused on this woman.

In this way, women are of high quality in terms of temperament and appearance, and even in this place, they are rare. If they appear here alone, it is inevitable that someone will have bad ideas in their hearts.

When a man with scarred face walked over, he showed his pockets of his waist, and a crisp voice came from it: "Girl, tell me, how much does it cost to sleep with you for a night?"

"No money!" The woman pulled out a black stick and patted it on the iron bar, making a crisp sound, "As long as you have the courage to enter my room!"

Scarface's face suddenly solidified because the woman put something out, and there was a stick that looked simple and dark. The stick had sharp edges and corners, and it looked like a three-edged steel pipe.

Exorcist? Demon Hunter!

Scarface retreated in a mess, and the others were as quiet as a cicada.

Because the lights in the tavern are dim, people have only noticed that the pattern on this woman's clothes is the symbol of the Demon Hunter Guild. This woman is a cloud safari from the Demon Hunter Guild.

Members of the Magic Hunter Guild are generally civilian-backed demon hunters born in non-family families, so they rarely serve in the Tianyun City army or temple. They are subject to relatively little restraint and are relatively loose and free. However, they must also follow the Tianyun Code and the Magic Hunter Code. They usually use cloud parades around to maintain local public order, eliminate threats or monsters for a living, so they are also called monster hunters.

But the demon hunter is the demon hunter.

It's definitely not something these ordinary people can offend.

At this time, a cup of prepared wine was pushed to her. The short brown beauty picked it up and sniffed it gently. She drank it all without even looking at it. She felt the scorching feeling flowing from her throat into her abdomen, and then burst out from her body and spread throughout her body, causing Xiaomai's face to be flushed.

"Good wine, good wine! I didn't expect that I could drink such good things in such a broken place." The short beauty praised repeatedly, "Get another glass!"

"Sorry, this wine is expensive, please pay the bill first."

A low bass sounded in his ear. When the short beauty looked up, she saw that this burly and strong man had a shiny dark skin, giving people the feeling of copper water. Her slender buzz cut was short, and there were three scars on the left eye, which added a bit more masculine flavor like decoration. He was wearing a big leather windbreaker and a short sword filled with gems between his waist. His slightly sunken eyes were extremely aggressive, and his eyes were like a cold pool with cold air.

Men are obviously mediocre in appearance, but they can make a deep impression, which is hard to forget if they have seen them.

The woman was very unhappy: "Will I still betray the debt?"

The bar owner smiled slightly, "Five Divine Realm Silver Coins! Thank you!"

The woman's eyes and mouth opened at the same time, and five silver coins were enough to buy a barrel of high-quality wine. She suddenly felt blackmailed. Even the demon hunter dared to blackmail. She was lawless and immediately slapped the table angrily: "Five silver coins? Why don't you go and grab them! I don't have that much money! I only have the exorcist stick, and I can take them if I have the courage!"

"This tavern is not on credit." The bar owner looked down at the exorcist stick, "Okay, then mortgage it."

When the woman saw that the bar owner really reached out to get the exorcist stick, her face suddenly changed. She couldn't figure out whether this rustic guy knew that she was a demon hunter? He dared to steal the weapon of the demon hunter, and this guy was desperate!

Suddenly.

The woman's lightning strike was ready to split the tavern owner's hand.

Who knew that the tavern owner had a quick wrist and blinked her fingers at the back of her hand.

The woman exclaimed and retreated several steps. She felt her right hand was numb and unconscious, as if she was hit by electric shock. The bar owner wearing a black leather windbreaker put away the exorcist stick and threw it into the bar. He turned around and glanced at her faintly: "This stick is kept for you, save enough money for wine and come back to redeem it."

The woman's face was gloomy and sunny. The two of them fought for a moment. The whole bar could see clearly that the three of them were not officially fighting with this mysterious bar owner, but she had already felt that this guy's strength was probably far above her.

A mere tavern owner.

Why is there such unfathomable strength?

"Aren't it just five silver coins? I'll give it to you tomorrow!"

The demon hunter was drinking and robbed of the debt, and his weapons were stolen. If this was spread, it would not be a good reputation. She had to grit her teeth and endure it. She did not dare to stay in the tavern and left the tavern in shame.

"Hahaha!"

"Look at her like that, I guess she has just become a demon hunter for less than two days!"

"I can't even take out five silver coins. This demon hunter is poor enough!"

A new drinker glanced at the boss and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother, what is the origin of this boss? I have never seen a demon hunter lose his grief!"

"I only know that his nickname is Viper, it seems that he just came half a year ago." A drunken drinker burped, "As for what is the origin? Who knows! The dragon and tiger hidden in the Shazhou Camp, it is not surprising that there are experts. Don't ask these useless things, drink and continue drinking."

The wines and the gamblers are scrambling, the tavern is lively again.

Everyone seems to think that things have never been born.

Because this is very normal, this place is neither wilderness nor the divine realm. This is a buffer zone between the two, which is the so-called edge place.

Shazhou Camp is the only settlement on the edge. There are both wilderness masters sneaking in, and strong people from the divine realm stopping here. Because this is too close to the divine realm, the wilderness forces dare not make trouble here. Because this place does not belong to the real divine realm, the people of the divine realm are too lazy to manage this place. Over time, this place becomes a place where snakes and dragons are mixed.
