Chapter 578 (1/2)
In the tense atmosphere, both sides slowly put their weapons aside. Vivian and Hasse also cleared magic power on them to show their sincerity. Hao Ren was the last one to keep his weapon, after confirming that they were really not going to fight.
“This is not cooperation,” Hasse dusted the frost from his wind coat and said, “This is just a temporary ceasefire. I don’t want to start a fight with such an ancient vampire, especially when we are carrying out such a task.”
“Same,” Vivian smirked and said, “We can have a good fight on another occasion.”
The battle just now might break out at any moment. In fact, if it were two groups of young people—such as the young demon hunters and the new generation of creatures—the battle would be absolutely unavoidable. However, only people like Vivian and Hasse, who represented their respective camps, would have the possibility of a rational ceasefire. They had too many things to consider, and the battle had become a secondary issue.
After all, they were all intelligent creatures, and they could communicate with each other. The demon hunters could get along with the sirens because they found that this species was not threatening, so they chose to compromise.
Phew. I thought we are going to fight,” White Flame said while winked at Hao Ren while nobody noticed it.
“Only animals can’t control their instincts,” said Vivian. For some reason, she became very sarcastic in this kind of situation. She laughed while looking at Hasse and said, “Now that our problem is solved. Should we let the two sirens talk? They should know each other.”
Shaqira breathed a sigh of relief. “Are you two sure you’re not fighting?”
Having been confirmed by both parties, she immediately patted her chest and walked quickly to another siren. “So you guys living on the land are so troublesome, how many years have passed and you still fighting and killing each other. I have to be cautious when I’m with you guys… Sorma, are you all right?”
The siren together with Hasse was Sorma, apparently, she also experienced something similar to Shaqira, just they did not know how she got the help from demon hunters. Hao Ren found it incredible: Although the sirens and demon hunters did not have any enmity, due to their special identities, both sides were in a state of tension. They were just going their own way without interfering with the other. However, just as Shaqira looked for a group of ‘unusual creatures’ to help her, Sorma also had her reasons for getting help from demon hunters.
The two sirens move aside to talk about their recent life and how did they meet the ‘new friends’, and Nangong Wuyue also join their exciting conversation. However, the other two groups of people were in an awkward situation. After they introduced themselves to each other, they have got nothing else to say. Teuton was a quiet man and White Flame was careful not to reveal her relationship with Hao Ren’s team. Finally, Vivian broke the silence. “I never expect to see demon hunters helping sirens. Aren’t sirens considered as unusual creatures?”
“They’re harmless. After all, they have never built any kingdom on Earth, and they have no interference in the world,” Hasse said with a straight face, but it sounded more like an excuse, “Since they don’t interfere in the outside world, they are not in the hunting list.”
“You can frankly say that you can’t deal with them. You haven’t answered my question, why would you guys be so kind to help the sirens? You are not such a good man.” asked Vivian.
Hassel’s facial expression changed slightly. After a moment of hesitation, he nodded and said, “Yes. We aren’t helping the siren purely out of kindness. Demon hunters don’t really care about sirens’ fate, but we are interested in the changes that happened in Nasaton. We saved Sorma a few days ago. What happened to her is something we should care about. Of course, I can’t reveal the detail.”
It seemed that Hasse answered Vivian’s question politely, however, Hao Ren realized that Hassel did not reveal any useful information at all. Of course, he did not expect a demon hunter who was wary of everything to be able to talk freely to them. “I don’t care whether you go there for investigating or collecting evidence. Anyway, I hope you’re not going to harm them. Sirens have lived peacefully on this planet for more than 10000 of years. Demon hunters can’t attack their city because of some unwarranted accusations,” said Hao Ren when Hassel finished talking.
“We’re unable to kill sirens anyway,” said Hasse.
At the very least, he sounded very sincere.
And now Teuton suddenly glanced at Nangong Sanba and asked, “You are…”
Nangong Sanba had been keeping his head low, looking at the sands, trying to make himself unnoticeable. When he heard someone was asking about him, he quickly stood straight and said, “I am… err, I’m a wizard!”
