Treasure Hunting System： The Ocean Conquerer

The fortress resisted the demon’s attack amidst the cries of battle.

Matilda sat, as always, in the center of the entire infirmary, controlling her three magical artifacts, rapidly healing the wounded and stabilizing those with fatal injuries.

”Do you want to take a break?” Matilda asked a female demon hunter who was swiftly moving through the infirmary holding various surgical tools.

She was still wrapped in some bandages and wearing loose clothing. Clearly, her injuries hadn’t healed yet, and she couldn’t go to the frontline, but she could still do what she could in the infirmary.

There were many wounded here who were just like her.

”No need, Lady Matilda, I’m not tired yet.”

But from her posture, it was clear she had been busy for quite some time, and she was also one of the wounded.

Hearing this, Matilda smiled, and a vine wrapped around her, delivering the tray she held to the medical staff not far away who needed it.

Then forcefully dragged her to her side: ”Why not stay here and chat with me?”

”Huh?” The female demon hunter was a bit baffled, because even while speaking, Matilda continued to control various magical artifacts for healing.

It was as though Matilda had four hands, capable of multitasking without any issues.

Since Matilda said so, the female demon hunter could only find a spot to sit down quietly and rest.

Controlling a needle to insert into a mortally wounded soldier’s back to stabilize his injury, the nearby medical staff immediately began treatment.

Only then did Matilda speak up: ”Ashley, how did you get the moon tattoo on your neck?”

This female demon hunter was the one Matilda referred to last night, and the one Lucilia saw on the battlefield yesterday.

Upon hearing this, Ashley touched her neck.

”Oh, you mean this? It’s our family symbol. Both my father and mother have this moon tattoo on their necks.

When I was very young, just starting to remember things, I already had it on my neck.”

At this point, Ashley’s face revealed a reminiscent smile as she said, ”My parents were once demon hunters. They were very powerful and killed many formidable demons.

They also had a title, the Demon Hunting Twin Moons.”

As she said this, the memory and smile gradually faded from her face, and she said a bit forlornly: ”But when I was 14, they sacrificed themselves in a defensive battle.”

”I’m sorry.”

”No need, Lady Matilda. They gave their lives for their cause. I’m not sad about their sacrifice to protect so many people. In fact, I’m proud of them,” Ashley said with a smile.

Such situations were relatively common among demon hunter families.

Hearing this, Matilda turned to look at her, smiled, and nodded.

”But why are you interested in such tattoos, Lady Matilda?” Ashley asked, puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Matilda didn’t hide anything. While manipulating her magical artifacts for treatment, she explained: ”You probably know where I come from, right?”

”I know you are Lord Alka’s teammate. It’s said you are a treasure hunting team, along with that big shark, that...”

She spoke of those in the fortress.

It’s no secret; everyone in the Demon Hunting Fortress knows about Alka and his companions because they’re so outstanding.

Their presence was visible in battles and various situations. How could people not remember them? Besides, they often rescued many during battles.

In simpler terms, in the Demon Hunting Fortress, their popularity was high and they were well-known.

Matilda nodded and said: ”Before coming here, we passed by some temple ruins. You know, we’re treasure hunters, so we were incredibly curious. We explored there and found it once belonged to an out-island sect, the Moon Worship Sect.

But the Moon Worship Sect dissipated over a hundred years ago, and yet there were ruins, seemingly abandoned for less than a hundred years.

However, because it was abandoned, we couldn’t find any related information.

On the collapsed murals of the temple, we discovered the same moon symbol on a figure’s neck. So when I saw the moon mark on your neck, I became curious.”

As she said this, Matilda turned with a playful wink at Ashley and said: ”A treasure hunter without curiosity just doesn’t cut it.”

Hearing this, Ashley also showed a smile.

”Then you’ve certainly been to many places?”

Upon hearing this, Madeleina nodded: ”Of course, if you want to know, I can tell you slowly later.”

Ashley nodded and said: ”The temple ruins you mentioned, my parents took me there when I was very young, saying it was once their homeland.

They only said that from there, their homeland was destroyed by demons, so they began hunting demons.

As for the story before that, they didn’t tell me. It seemed that they didn’t really want me to know either.”

Hearing this.

Matilda nodded with a bit of regret.

”However, they left some relics in my possession. Among them are diaries, and the thick book you mentioned with the moon symbols.

It’s a bit like... um, a sect’s canon.
