Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 165: Chapter 70: The Great Deer Repays Kindness

The size of a Jade Antler Fawn is quite small, roughly the size of a piglet.

The antlers on its head hadn’t grown yet, and its limbs were so delicate that they barely supported its own weight when walking.

It struggled to walk out of the mountain cave, wobbling towards the mother deer, and falling down every few steps.

It was clear that they hadn’t been born for very long.

"This..."

Upon seeing the situation, Exterminator Thirteen quickly understood.

Ree Shil played with the little fawns while explaining.

"I noticed this demon monster behaving strangely, so I tried communicating with it."

"It turns out that it has a high level of intelligence, close to that of a Spirit Demon."

"This guy probably went to steal from the granary because it had just given birth and needed to produce milk or meet the needs of its offspring."

"I don’t think it had any ill intentions, so I took pity on it."

As he spoke, he casually picked up a Jade Antler Fawn.

[Yoo yoo yoo~]

The little Jade Antler Deer resisted a bit, struggling to escape from the grasp.

On the other hand, the mother Jade Antler Deer seemed to be compliant, not showing any rejection.

"So that’s how it is..."

Exterminator Thirteen deeply looked at Ree Shil, before taking out a talisman and saying, "Let me try communicating with it."

He beckoned the Jade Antler Deer to come closer and stuck the talisman on its forehead.

Hum...

A yellow light shone from the talisman.

"Hmm, judging from the intensity of this light, it’s at least a half Spirit Demon."

Exterminator Thirteen nodded and directly asked it, "Can you understand what I’m saying?"

[Yoo yoo yoo] fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

The Jade Antler Deer paused briefly, then nodded in response.

"The Spirit Communication Talisman allows for communication with demon clan members who don’t share a common language."

"However, it only works on intelligent members of the demon clan."

After saying this, he turned to Ree Shil and explained.

Following the conversation, Exterminator Thirteen questioned the Jade Antler Deer, obtaining answers similar to Rei Shil’s speculations.

This pregnant Jade Antler Deer had been living in the valley for quite some time.

It hadn’t left the valley while waiting to give birth, as the spiritual energy from the sun, moon, and earth was sufficient.

However, after giving birth, the little Jade Antler Fawns didn’t possess that ability.

They needed to eat some relatively fine grains to have enough energy to survive and grow.

So, for the sake of its offspring, the Jade Antler Deer went to steal from the granary.

Moreover, it only acted at night and didn’t hurt anyone.

After hearing this, Exterminator Thirteen made a decision after some thought.

"Well, I can see you’re in a difficult situation."

"Consider this a one-time exception. I will not pursue this matter on behalf of the Demon Extermination Residence."

"In addition, I will help you compensate the old farmer for the stolen rice."

"Furthermore, I will talk to the old farmer. You will help him with farm work in exchange for food for your offspring."

"Master, let’s go."

After finishing, he gestured to Ree Shil to leave the valley.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, but as the two left, the rare fog in the valley cleared up.

Bathed in the grateful gaze of the Jade Antler Deer, the midday sun shone on the pair as they gradually moved away.

"Oh~ You’re quite a compassionate guy."

"Hmph, you probably haven’t heard of my chivalrous reputation."

"But that was the money I won. You sure are generous."

"Hahaha, Master, look at what you’re saying!"

And so, the two returned to the farmstead.

After confirming the information with the old farmer, they determined that the Jade Antler Deer had told the truth.

Exterminator Thirteen kept his promise and settled the matter with the old farmer.

Although the outcome of the mission was slightly different from what they had imagined, it was still considered a successful completion.

They decided to spend the night at the farmstead. frёewebnoѵēl.com

The dinner was provided by the farmstead, but Exterminator Thirteen declined the old farmer’s invitation to join the feast.

With the door closed, he and Ree Shil had a small drink together.

After three rounds of drinking, or more accurately, after Exterminator Thirteen had three rounds, he put down his chopsticks.

Ree Shil could tell that he had something to say, and was pleasantly surprised by the news.

"Judging by today’s events, you are now a qualified Exorcist."

Speaking of which, Exterminator Thirteen pulled out a letter from his pocket, "I know you’ve always wanted to become a real Exorcist. Here’s my recommendation letter, take it to the Ancient Capital Demon Extermination Residence."

This letter represented his approval.

"..."

However, Ree Shil hesitated for a moment, "You’re not just trying to avoid getting that 50% salary cut, right?"

"No, no, absolutely not."

Exterminator Thirteen waved his hands, his face slightly flushed.

It was unclear whether it was due to the alcohol or being exposed.

But to be fair, he truly believed that Ree Shil was qualified to be an independent Exorcist.

His performances during the eradication missions in this period were the best proofs, and his strength was definitely enough.

Moreover, today’s incident with the Jade Antler Deer showed him another qualified aspect, so he eventually made up his mind.

In Exterminator Thirteen’s opinion, having a chivalrous heart was an essential requirement for becoming an Exorcist.

Eradicating demons wasn’t just about killing every demon on sight.

Maintaining harmony and upholding justice was their true purpose.

As for the magic techniques, Ree Shil still had a great deal lacking.

But as far as Exterminator Thirteen was concerned, that wasn’t his problem.

After all, he wasn’t this guy’s master!

"Don’t think that once I approve, you’ll immediately become an Exorcist. In fact, when you get to the Ancient Capital Demon Extermination Residence, you’ll still have to go through a test."

Stopping his thoughts, he said this to Ree Shil.

The moment he received the letter, Ree Shil could hear the prompt sounding in his ear.
