This village, located near 3f02c6a194 the forest, was an 344f1ba939 ordinary, unremarkable place, except d3ac8ee1ee that everyone in the 01ff700f52 village was a hunter.5a37b7f6281a9e6d

Louise, a resident of b88f2ca155 the village and also 21fc9a4edd a hunter, lowered his b9a3928aae head in front of 93070b84ca the demon. With the news of dc2fb8cd2d the Southern Demon Duke’s 93f100414f arrival, the village became 335f2edfbe lively.209c71d09a020aae

Louise was an 6b35d28067 orphan. His deceased parents dacd0dcb10 had committed a 48bacc06d4 great sin in 6b7295e150 the village, so d27cea141f Louise was also e7ef8fe115 considered a sinner 6f372d2982 here. The villagers 8e670799c1 often sent 3bb1c86ae5 Louise to 0b460be355 dangerous hunts, a9bda43cc8 and always fe40299d93 gave him b9048927cf the dirty 0f96885f0e and hard ecdab94a3f tasks.
