Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 371 - Chapter 371 Chapter 371 A House A World

Chapter 371: Chapter 371 A House, A World Chapter 371: Chapter 371 A House, A World Layhader lifted the disfigured Azumani he had beaten up.

“Will you talk, or do you think I really don’t dare to kill you?” Layhader’s face was somber, the old man’s stubbornness exceeding his expectations.

Azumani shook his head in despair.

“The thing was taken by that prince, that prince named Geralt.”

“You think I would believe that?”

Layhader threw a punch.

He was about to say something. Suddenly, a familiar roar came from the depths of the distant forest, and the entire forest seemed to tremble with it. Layhader was first stunned, then his face violently changed.

He knew that voice all too well.

“Deerhead Spirit, it’s the surviving Deerhead Spirit!”

Through the creature’s roar, Layhader could almost determine that the monster had recovered from its injuries.

“No, I must quickly notify the higher-ups of the Knights about this message!”

His expression suddenly calmed down, “Out of the past decades of acquaintance, Azumani, tell me where the Fairytale Manuscripts are?”

“Have you hidden it within the body of some animal?”

“Just hand it over to me, and I can promise you…”

Before he could finish, Layhader suddenly remembered his colleagues from the Knights who had died tragically before his eyes.

“I can give you a quick end!”

“I told you, the thing is with that prince…”

“Crack!”

Without hesitation, Layhader twisted Azumani’s neck.

“You gave me a reason to kill!”

Without killing Azumani, he could not justify it to his deceased subordinates.

He turned back to look at Evelyn, who had been lying on the ground.

“Mr. Layhader, please don’t kill me, I can make you faster…”

“Pfft!”

A thick earth spike pierced through Evelyn’s body.

Layhader looked over her body with disgust, “You dying makes me happier!”

“Two consecutive mission failures.”

“Lost troops and leaders, I might no longer be suited to lead a team.”

Layhader, having failed consecutively, began to harbor thoughts of retirement. He discerned the direction, took a wide detour, trying his best to avoid the area from where the roar had come, and left the forest at the fastest speed.

The Deerhead Spirit, thought to have been severely injured, had recovered its injuries at an astonishing rate, which probably was not good news for the Round Table Knight Order.

What’s more important was that they needed to figure out why the Deerhead Spirit, not seen for a century, appeared, and the key to its rapid recovery.

On the other hand, Roger, having evaded the Deerhead Spirit’s perception, finally left the forest safely and returned to the nearby town.

After thinking it over, he still informed Goway about the discovery of the Deerhead Spirit. Although it would reveal some of his tracks, letting such a creature run rampant was sure to cause terrible casualties.

He rented a hotel room, and with the activation of Temporary Migration, having two top-tier Hunter’s Cabins allowed Roger to avoid waiting for the cooldown of the temporary migration feature.

His body was teleported to the Shadow Cottage, but the surroundings had changed significantly. The originally damaged house had gained a basic outline after some time of self-repair.

Gradually, the Shadow Cottage began to influence the real-life house as well.

He took out the reward from this mission. The silvery-white manuscript floated in mid-air, and the next moment, the Fairy Tale World Fragment of Little Red Riding Hood also emerged and fused with it.

The page emitted a brilliant color, and even in the text, specks of gold appeared.

“Collecting a certain number of Fairytale Manuscripts and fusing them–could it be that one day it will automatically generate Golden Pages?”

The thought arose in his mind, but Roger soon felt that things might not be that simple.

Under his gaze, the silvery white pages floated in front of his eyes, rustling as the story within seemed to undergo new changes.

“When the world is created, maybe it could form a fairy tale that belongs solely to me, Roger.”

A ridiculous idea suddenly sprung up in his mind.

“If one day I can obtain all the fairy tale manuscripts and polish them according to my will, creating a completely new fusion and interpretation of the stories within.”

“Would the story of the Demon Hunter become reality in the fairy tale?”

“A fairy tale version of a Wizard?”

This thought then led Roger to think of the Hunter’s Cabin.

He had once thought that his greatest goal was to rebuild a castle like Kaer Morhen, but the deeper his understanding of the world became, the more insignificant he felt.

“Just a castle, perhaps the Hunter’s Cabin won’t be enough.”

“Submit!”

The strange energy from the manuscript was absorbed by the Hunter’s Cabin, and Roger’s figure shook slightly as a powerful spiritual power flooded into his mind.

The upper left corner of the hourglass pattern emitted a dim light; that was precisely where the Quinn Dharma Seal used to be. The next second, spiritual power surged into the pattern of the Quinn Dharma Seal.

The light grew brighter and brighter.

[Quinn Dharma Seal]: LV2, increased strength, wider range, upon breaking, it will create a strong impact on the attacker and has a certain chance to reconsolidate!

Roger’s face lit up with joy. Not only would the strength of the Dharma Seal continue to increase with the rise of spiritual power, but it could also acquire other characteristics after reaching a certain stage.

This was much stronger than mere defense.

And this was just the Quinn Dharma Seal. What about the other kinds of seals? What about when they reach Level 3 or higher?

For the upcoming training, Roger was filled with confidence.

Having absorbed two manuscripts, one of which was of silver grade, the Shadow Cottage had jumped directly two levels!

[Shadow Cottage]: Damaged Fragment.

Level: 5

Completeness: 90%.

Please repair the Hunter’s Cabin completely as soon as possible to unlock all its functions.

Basic functionalities are intact, facilities like wooden bed and Storage Box are being allocated, Alchemical Laboratory, Forging Room, Training Ground are being replanned…

Guest room planning is in progress.

Partial functionalities are unavailable before complete repair.

[Shadow Assimilation]: When the Hunter’s Cabin’s completeness reaches 100%, the Shadow Assimilation function will be activated, allowing the Shadow to influence reality and the real-world house to possess the same functionalities as the Shadow Cottage.

And it can also draw power from the Shadow to restore itself if completely destroyed.

[Shadow Gate]: The original Shadow Gate will disappear completely, and this Land of Shadows will become your personal kingdom.

Please continue to upgrade the level of the Hunter’s Cabin, as in the future you may re-find your direction in the Shadow and reach another end.

“This ability…”

Roger mused and quickly realized that if the Shadow Cottage were to be fully repaired, then it means that his abandoned manor in the real world would also possess the same functionalities as the Shadow Cottage.

It’s as if there were two Hunter’s Cabins existing in the real Plane.

So when he activates the Penetration ability, the two Shadow Cottages would essentially be two doors that he could open at any time.

From Eld to Baytown in an instant!

And the mentioned Shadow Gate, Roger understood that this shattered Land of Shadows indeed hid some secrets, that once the level was elevated to a certain degree.

One day, the dark world that had disappeared into the dust may open just for him.

“One house, one world, huh?”
