Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 429 - Chapter 429 Chapter 429 Meeting with Amanda

Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Meeting with Amanda Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Meeting with Amanda Claudia once gave Roger a mask that, aside from being a special means of communication, had a unique effect.

Putting on the mask was the equivalent of adopting a face–or identity–that Claudia had once used.

Passing by a shop window, a young face reflected in the glass, with short black hair and sharply defined features.

Unexpectedly, it was an Eastern face.

For a moment, the reflection in the window overlapped, and Roger felt a faint sense of unreality, as if everything he had experienced before was just a dream.

This feeling was strange; he was wearing casual clothes and looked no different from anyone else walking down the street.

Rubbing shoulders with every hurried passerby, the breath of the modern city hit him head-on, and at that moment, he felt he was no longer a Demon Hunter but just another being among the throng.

The dawn was just breaking, and the meeting with Amanda was set for noon.

With the morning to himself, Roger had breakfast in a cafe like an ordinary person, then took a taxi to tour several famous spots in Mist City.

This absolute relaxation made Roger’s spirit ease, as the recent continuous battles had kept him on edge.

What was more important was that his progress was too rapid, so quick that he hadn’t fully adapted before having to improve again under the pressure of formidable enemies.

At 12 o’clock noon, as Roger was feeding pigeons in the square, a crisp sound of footsteps came from behind him; he didn’t turn around, and then a strange woman’s voice sounded next to his ear.

“To be honest, you look a lot handsomer now than before.”

When Roger turned, he saw a slightly overweight middle-aged woman.

He sighed.

“Amanda, if you keep this appearance, we probably won’t be able to communicate properly.”

“Also, what I’m curious about is how you recognized me in the crowd?”

“After all, I’m not the only one feeding pigeons around here.”

Amanda smiled mysteriously, her plump round face squeezing together.

Roger shrugged, “Making yourself look like this, are you trying to punish me on purpose?”

“Tsk tsk, it seems what you really like isn’t my soul after all.”

“No, of course not.”

Roger smiled meaningfully.

“What I like is your identity.”

Naturally, Amanda didn’t understand this sentence. She stepped forward, her index finger touching Roger’s chest, and a flame pierced through his clothing to touch his skin.

A burning sensation came from his chest.

“What are you doing?”

“Just a little spell,” Amanda said with a smile but didn’t answer, stepping over Roger’s arm.

“Let’s go.”

“Where to?”

Amanda raised an eyebrow.

“What do you think?”

After possessing the Axis Dharma Seal, checking in at hotels became unnecessary.

Once they entered the room, both naturally shed their disguises, Roger removed the mask, and Amanda also underwent a change; before long, the fiery redhead with a stunning figure appeared before Roger.

Roger’s face showed a trace of surprise.

“Second Tier!”

“You’re advancing too fast!”

Amanda gave Roger a once-over.

“”It’s not enough, at least you’re far worse off than me.”

Brother is a cheater, can you even compare with me?

Following that, Roger chatted with Amanda about his recent experiences, especially the switch in identity.

“You actually killed a Heritage Knight and took over his identity?!”

Amanda was still incredibly shocked.

Her teacher Margaret was a Third Tier Magician; she once thought of Margaret as the sky, but now, the ordinary boy her mother had brought back from the island had grown to the point of being on an equal footing with her teacher.

No, he was even stronger!

“Do you suspect that Cynthia leaked your information because of your teacher, Margaret?”

Amanda nodded and recounted the minor conflict she had had with Margaret before.

“The Sorcerer’s Assembly is a place that judges by bloodline, valuing heritage as much as power.”

“And both of these cannot be separated from… communication!”

“Intimate communication.”

“Inside the Assembly, based on gender, female sorceresses and male sorcerers are divided, forming the Sorority and the Brotherhood, where, apart from normal cultivation, bloodline resonance is considered the most effective way of improvement.”

“And that method is the kind of communication I just mentioned.”

“That’s why, in the rumors from the outside world, sorcerers have a not-so-good reputation; they tap into their own bloodline, from spirit to soul, gradually transforming into other creatures.”

“The morals and modesty of humanity gradually strip away from them, making what many see as obscenely scandalous appear perfectly normal among sorcerers.”

Amanda frowned.

“But I find this sort of thing extremely distasteful, so I’ve refused my teacher many times, which might be why she took out her anger on you, sending Cynthia to do what she did.”

Roger nodded.

“Is there a way to break away from the Sorcerer’s Assembly?”

Roger had reached the Third Tier, and Amanda was already at the Second Tier; they were more than capable of protecting themselves, so there really was no need to stay at the Sorcerer’s Assembly any longer.

“Impossible.”

Amanda shrugged her shoulders, “The Sorcerer’s Assembly is united yet exclusive. They only recognize their own sorcerers, and leaving the Assembly would be deemed as betrayal.”

“This would lead to being hunted down by all sorcerers!”

Roger thought for a moment and suddenly an idea came to him.

He was publicly playing the role of Bedivere; normally, if Bedivere had taken over Roger’s body through the Inheritance Ceremony, he would certainly distance himself from those close to Roger.

But now Amanda was isolated in the Sorcerer’s Assembly, and the identity Roger was publicly assuming could perhaps become a support for Amanda.

In any place, a Third Tier Heritage Knight still held considerable sway.

Looking at it this way, not only should they not distance themselves, but they should also appear together openly in front of everyone.

Roger shared his thoughts with Amanda, and she also felt it was feasible, but they still needed to carefully discuss the specifics.

To avoid letting others see through their ruse.

After exchanging updates on their lives and experiences, it was naturally time for more in-depth communication.

Roger drew his sword to face the enemy.

And while Roger was enjoying his rare leisure time leading a shameless life, thousands of miles away at a seaport’s underground, a young man, naked, slowly emerged from the pitch-black pool of water.

Abraham had grown even taller, his face losing its youthful tenderness, and as the water droplets evaporated from his body, he changed into a set of ordinary casual clothes.

In a corner of the underground, a pale severed head stared wide-eyed at the top of the cave.

“I’ve almost fully recovered; it’s time to take action.””
