Chapter 307: Chapter 300 The sky-supporting white jade pillar, the sea-spanning purple gold beam

Someone would refuse Master Beethoven’s request was shocking enough, but to actually be able to go back and forth with him in battle?

That was the Church’s Chief Hunter, a human siege weapon.

Beasts that a whole team of hunters would struggle to deal with were as easy as cats and dogs in front of Beethoven.

The Hunter Captain had no doubt that if Master Beethoven wished, he could rule the entirety of Yate with his personal combat power.

Of course, Beethoven would never do such a thing.

But that was because he lacked the ambition, not the ability.

"Of course, Master Beethoven did not use the Holy Sword, and he did hold back considerably. But this delivery man’s strength must not be underestimated, and Great Archbishop Amelia has instructed me to meet his requests as much as possible, to avoid angering him,"

Andrina said.

"Alright, I understand,"

the Hunter Captain said reluctantly.

Originally, he was prepared to question Liu Zheng, but since Andrina had spoken thus, he backed down.

After all, someone who could exchange blows with Beethoven could undoubtedly take down their hunter team without issue.

While he was loyal to the Church, he had no interest in seeking martyrdom.

In the delicate atmosphere, time quietly passed.

Suddenly, Liu Zheng’s ears perked up.

From the depths of Old Yate, a faint sound of explosions could be heard.

Soon, the sounds of explosions gradually ceased, only to start up again elsewhere after a while.

An hour later, the hunters from the Gunpowder Workshop returned with trophies in tow.

"Here are the corpses of the giant crow and the two-headed mutant dog you requested,"

the Horn Gun Hunter said, pointing to a cart.

Two crows, each half the size of an adult human, lay on it, their blood-red eyes wide open in death.

Next to them was a canine beast with two heads, one of which still bore human-like features.

The hunters from the Gunpowder Workshop had not processed the corpses, partly to save time, and partly for fear that Liu Zheng might reject their work as unsatisfactory.

"Very well,"

Liu Zheng stood up, taking his boning knife to the beasts’ corpses.

With a flick of his tentacle, two giant crows were thrown into the air.

Then with a flash of the knife, four wingtips were neatly caught in his tentacle.

The corpses of the two giant crows fell to the ground; each wing was severed cleanly at the joints, the cuts so smooth it was as if they had never had wingtips at all.

The Horn Gun Hunter and the Machine Gun Hunter frowned slightly.

Laymen enjoy the show, experts observe the skill; though they mainly used firearms, they were experts in the use of melee weapons as well.

Even the two of them acknowledged their inability to match what Liu Zheng had just done.

This was not just a matter of strength, but also of the weapon itself.

The sharpness of that boning knife was frightening; their hunter armor likely wouldn’t stand a chance against it.

"The quality of these ingredients is truly high,"

Liu Zheng also mused to himself.

He reckoned his boning knife would probably cut through tofu even more smoothly than it did these beasts.

He wondered if there was any item that could raise the level of an enemy’s ingredients; coupled with his boning knife, it could make for a perfect COMBO.

Turn the enemy into a delectable dish first, then he could rush in with his boning knife, chopping and slicing perfectly.

As Liu Zheng fantasized, he flipped over the two-headed mutant dog.

A magnificent white column appeared in his view, its surface twined with countless purplish-red veins, crystal clear.

"Behold, a mighty jade pillar that props the sky, a purple-gold beam that frames the sea,"

he couldn’t help but sarcastically comment.

Could this be what the novelist specifically requested?

Thinking of the dishes ordered by the novelist, Liu Zheng’s expression turned odd.

Then, with a swift motion of his hand, he sliced off the two-headed mutant dog’s canine phallus along with its treasures in one clean cut.

All the male onlookers winced with phantom pain, while Andrina seemed somewhat excited.

"Here’s the Blood Gem you wanted. Besides the necessary reserve, I’ve given you all the stock,"

The blunderbuss Hunter tucked his legs and placed a box in front of Liu Zheng.

He opened the box, which contained about a dozen Blood Gems, although most were small, with only three or four medium-sized gems.

After all, in recent years, their supplies related to Beasts had been only going out and not coming in, so it was fortunate that they had such a thick foundation from the Gunpowder Workshop and used less themselves.

"Very well, then we’re square on this matter. Have you given any thought to sending someone to help me?"

Liu Zheng stowed away the items.

"We don’t trust you,"

said the blunderbuss Hunter.

"Understandable,"

he nodded.

Just when Liu Zheng thought they were about to refuse, the blunderbuss Hunter spoke again.

"Therefore, initially we plan to send three observers. If you really are working towards shattering the Night of the Pale, then all the Hunters of the Gunpowder Workshop will follow you, even if it means aiming our guns at Gods,"

All of the Gunpowder Workshop Hunters clenched their firearms with a determined look.

"Bullets won’t do, to take down a God you need a cannon."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

He had experience with this, even though he was on the receiving end of it.

"We have cannons too, just as long as you can bring a God before us,"

the blunderbuss Hunter said with a laugh.

"Fine, then it’s settled. Who’s coming with me?"

"Us,"

the Machine Gun Hunter Yula stepped forward with two other Hunters, one old and one young.

"Not bad, that shows some sincerity. Let’s go then, and tidy up the tables and chairs yourselves."

Liu Zheng waved his hand and led a group of followers towards New Yate City.

The Church Hunters and Gunpowder Workshop Hunters watched them disappear at the end of the street, then expressed their contempt for each other in the way of Hunters before dispersing.

"Is the Taboo Forest next?"

After returning to New Yate City, Liu Zheng asked.

"Yes, Mr. Delivery Man,"

Andrina was about to say something when a white bird suddenly dropped from the sky and landed on her shoulder.

Liu Zheng looked closely and was surprised to find it was a crow.

Like those two giant crows, it also had a pair of blood-red eyes.

"It’s a message from the Church, please wait a moment,"

Andrina said politely, then untied the scroll that was fastened to the Messenger’s leg.

"Great Archbishop Amelia says we don’t need to go to the Taboo Forest, she has already sent someone to collect the materials you need."

She said after reading the message.

"Looks like the Taboo Forest really is taboo,"

Liu Zheng raised an eyebrow.

Faced with his teasing, Andrina could only reply with silence.

She had indeed heard some not-to-be-shared rumors about the Taboo Forest.

"Well, that’s fine. It saves me effort and hassle if someone else does the work for me,"

Liu Zheng shrugged.

After all, collecting materials was his current goal; if he wanted to go to the Taboo Forest later, Amelia wouldn’t be able to stop him.

"Let’s go then, to Carcarens Academy,"

said Liu Zheng.

"Just so you know, if you masturbate in front of the Twisted Saint again, I’m confiscating your ’tools of the trade.’"

He warned the helmet man.

The helmet man nodded reluctantly.
