Chapter 22 The beard-cut huntress
Lindsay looked confused.
The huntress who was going to teach him tomorrow was so proactive?
She couldn't even wait all night and just came to grab someone in advance?
"Dan, you are so unruly." When Lindsay was still surprised, Finn frowned and stopped the huntress, "He is only a child, you will scare him."
Huntress saw Finn's obstruction.
The corner of her mouth twisted uncontrollably, she put one hand on the table, and immediately laughed out loud:
"child?"
"Finn, this 'kid' is not as well-behaved as you see!"
"Do you know what he did?"
Next to her, Lindsay was confused by what the huntress said.
Since entering the town, he has honestly followed the awakened people in the town to learn from him, without making any extraordinary moves.
The woman's attitude at the moment really made him confused.
The same was true for Finn, who had spent a day with Lindsay, so he continued to frown and asked:
"Dan, if you have something to say, you can just say it."
The huntress glanced at Lindsay meaningfully before replying:
"This kid actually killed an ice badger with his bare hands in the woods outside the town a few days ago."
"Oh my god! He just... this year..."
Huntress wanted to continue, but she suddenly realized that she had forgotten how old Lindsay was.
Finn and the huntress were also old acquaintances, so he reminded:
"13 years old."
"Oh, yes, only 13 years old!"
The huntress nodded vigorously, then continued her exaggerated tone:
"You can hunt an ice badger on your own at this age. Hey! This is a magical beast that can cast spells! Have you ever seen any child do such a thing at this age?"
"Those ancient heroes in the legend of the Star Age?"
Hearing this, Finn also looked surprised.
Although the ice badger is not a powerful monster, because it has the ability to release ice picks remotely, even if an adult encounters it, even if it is unarmed, it is basically impossible to escape death.
It was hard for him to imagine how a child like Lindsay could do such a thing.
The botanist was curious and continued to ask about the specific situation:
"Dan, how do you know this?"
Then he looked at Lindsay again, with a tone of curiosity and disbelief:
"Child, did this guy make a mistake?"
He saw the two awakened beings staring at him intently. Although their expressions were different, they were both quite surprised.
Lindsay scratched her head sheepishly:
"The process is actually quite thrilling."
"I was just lucky enough to defeat that ice badger."
"Did you hear that? The perpetrators admitted it." Seeing Lindsay's admission, Dan poured a glass of water from the front hall and drank it in one gulp. "Actually, it was just yesterday. Because there were monsters coming out, An Rui guy went out. I checked, but there were no results, so I went to check specifically today.”
"Right next to a rock, guess what?"
"An ice badger, pierced by a wooden stick, fell in the woods some distance away from the town. The other hunters under my command were not in the habit of leaving their prey where it was and ignored it. At that time, they thought there was some serious trouble. "
Finn said:
"Do you think there are outsiders again?"
Dan looked at Lindsay next to him:
"This kid can be thrown into this hellish place like ours by space skills, so other things are not impossible. In the afternoon, I was wondering if it was time to go on a long-distance hunt and go to the edge of the world to check out the situation!"
Finn continued to ask:
"Then how did you figure it out in the end?"
Dan spread his hands:
"Actually, you also know that it is the monster that Ms. Hongyue said is infested."
Finn also remembered at this time.
When they were meeting in the church a few days ago, Sister Red Moon reminded An Rui that there might be monsters around the town.
Now it seems.
This matter actually happened to Lindsay in front of him.
Sister Hongyue's words, 'My godson has a good talent', are really not a joke!
But it was probably because it was too shocking for a child to kill a monster.
That's why Ms. Hongyue didn't mention Lindsay's matter when explaining to them.
Finn figured it out.
But he still didn't intend to let Dan take Lindsay away immediately, so he asked a quite straightforward question:
"I know that Lindsay is very smart, and can even defeat the weak and kill the monster."
"But this matter, it seems to have nothing to do with you wanting to take him away in advance."
Dan immediately shouted dissatisfied:
"Why doesn't it matter?"
"This shows that this is his talent. If I can't teach him well, wouldn't it be a waste of such an excellent talent?"
Finn continued to ask in a calm tone:
"Then it has to be tonight? Don't you know how to teach me well tomorrow?"
Dan seemed to be prepared for this question. The moment Finn opened his mouth, she answered confidently:
"Practice is the best teacher!"
"I plan to take him for a walk in the woods to understand firsthand the key points of being a hunter. And going to the forest - as you know, a few hours in the morning is not enough preparation."
"So tonight I'm going to have a good talk with the kid and make some preparations before entering the forest."
Finn nodded slightly, he was a reasonable person.
As long as Dan doesn't show off all his impulses just to steal people, he won't deliberately make things difficult.
So Finn asked the final question:
"Does Ms. Hongyue know about this?"
"..."
"she does not know?"
Huntress was silenced by Finn's question.
She looked around, as if looking for something in the study, and after a while she gave Finn a flattering smile:
"Isn't this also for this child?"
Finn stared at Dan and continued to question:
"So you're going to hide it from the lady and take her godson away for a whole day and night?"
"ok, ok, I got it."
The huntress couldn't stand up to Finn, so she ruffled her hair in frustration, as if she had a chicken coop on top of her head:
"Really, I shouldn't have come to your house to pick up this kid, and shouldn't I have just taken action when he got out?"
Finn saw this and continued to persuade:
"Dan, you shouldn't..."
"I know, I know." The huntress was defeated by Finn's attitude and honestly raised her hand to promise, "I will take him to the church now and explain this matter to Lady Red Moon. Is that okay?"
Finn nodded with satisfaction and stopped nagging the huntress in her ear.
Lindsay politely said goodbye to Finn, and the two agreed to study here for the next four days.
Afterwards, Lindsay followed Huntress to the church.
On the way, Dan started to ask questions non-stop:
"Boy, do you like meat?"
"With your talent, as long as you become a hunter, you can eat as many prey as you want."
"It must be boring to study all day long!"
"No one will control you in the forest, you can do whatever you want. If you have time, you can even build a treehouse in the tree as your own little base!"
"Also, you know, everyone in the town is envious of hunters..."
