Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 426 425. Demon Hunters Only

How fresh.

In this increasingly chaotic world, two demon hunters actually appeared in the same city at the same time.

And they all have roaring bear head pendants.

This was different from when Lan En took the initiative to find the Grand Master of the Wolf School, and finally the three demon hunters got together and walked together for a while. This was a complete coincidence.

The organizer of the boxing match was holding his little fur in front of his chest. His nervous and sweaty hands even held the soft leather until it made a friction sound. His throat kept rolling up and down as he swallowed saliva.

It can be seen that it took a lot of courage for him to stand in front of Lan En.

While speaking, he didn't even dare to look into the shadow under the hood, but just stared at the table.

But fear can be conquered by courage.

And courage can be inspired by other things.

Compared with those piles of golden coins, it seems that talking to someone who can break his teeth at any time is not that difficult.

"Did you just mention 'that job'?"

A calm and calm voice came from the shadow under the hood.

"Is there any trouble in town lately?"

The boxing match manager breathed a sigh of relief.

"You don't know yet?"

His tone became cheerful. As long as he didn't hit him with teeth all over the floor from the beginning, it meant that the conversation could continue! That means he might be able to get the money!

"Recently, the mayor issued a mission. The mission is posted on the notice boards at various intersections. Although the description of the mission is not very clear, the reward is huge! A full seven hundred crowns!"

Upon hearing this number, Regis held the wine glass and said a dull "hmm".

This is not a small amount. If converted into Oren coins, it would be about 3,500 Oren at the current exchange rate.

It is indeed a rare big deal.

But compared to a layman like a high-level vampire, Lan En doesn't care much about money, but pays more attention to the information about the mission itself.

He said that ‘the task description is not very clear’. In this case, the publisher usually has some degree of secrecy.

Either it's about a scandal, or it's evidence of one's own guilt, or maybe it's just that I don't want the public to make assumptions out of thin air.

In short, this represents the hidden meaning of 'meet and discuss in detail'.

The task issued by the mayor of Sintra was unclear. There should be some knowledge in it.

But Lan En's inner thought process was not reflected on the outside.

He just glanced at the boxing match manager who was already a little relaxed.

"Looking at how attentive you are, you will get a commission even if you introduce someone to take over the task?"

The manager's face stiffened for a while, and then relaxed as if a jar had been broken.

After all, it's just a matter of getting punched and losing a few teeth.

"Yes, the mayor himself paid another fifty crowns to reward the person who can recommend the demon hunter. Whoever recommends the demon hunter to complete the task first will get the fifty crowns."

"That's really strange."

Lan En took a sip of the mead in the cup.

"Your mayor actually appointed a witcher to complete the mission."

There was a time when ordinary people were more afraid of witchers than monsters. After all, monsters stay in forests and caves, while witchers shamelessly walk the streets, run into inns, and prowl shrines, temples, schools, and entertainment venues. Respectable people felt offended and started looking for someone to deal with the rough witchers.

In this kind of resistance, demon hunters rarely receive official commissions.

Vererad, the mayor of Vizima, even had a preliminary understanding of the witcher group when Geralt went on a mission five years ago.

It was rare for the mayor of Cintra to name a witcher for work, rather than an ordinary human mercenary who could be trusted more.

But this also shows that the content of this mission must be very 'professional'.

Why did Verdon's King Iver ask Geralt to lift the Cormorant Curse? Because he is a demon hunter and is professional enough.

Why did King Wenslav of Brugg ask Vesemir to communicate with the tree spirits? Because he is a demon hunter and is professional enough.

"I think we should go take a look."

Regis said with a smile as he poured another drink for himself and Lan En.

"A demon hunter from the same school as you has already started taking action. Regardless of whether you are interested in this mission or not, you are definitely interested in that demon hunter."

The demon hunters of the Bear School have long since abandoned their Hainkawehe Castle, and they have basically no feelings to pass on the school.

Therefore, the Demon Hunters of the Bear School who are now wandering the continent looking for work are basically the old members from the time when the castle was still there.

They must know the relationship between the school and the dwarves in Mount Amer.

Lan En has already made up his mind.

"I'll go read the sign, but it's none of your business."

Lan En said to the boxing match organizer.

"Although I won't punch you in the face, I don't want to see the guy who just wanted to provoke me and make money from my boxing actually make money because of me. That's disgusting."

"Yes, sir."

Seeing that the extra money was lost, the boxing match organizer did not dare to say anything and could only leave in low spirits.

Regis and Lan then finished their dinner and went upstairs to rest.

——

Early the next morning, demon hunters and vampires stood in a small square in the city of Sintra.

The dirt roads here are mixed with horse manure and dog feces, but barefoot children are still chasing and playing on the road.

The vendors began to set up stalls and shouted, and the merchants used horse-drawn carriages to pull goods to welcome and deliver them.

This is a typical urban corner in the north.

"This is it. 'Only for demon hunters, ignorant people, don't waste your life for money you can't get.'"

Lan En chuckled.

"He actually wrote it. A lot of people must have started scolding the mayor because of this notice."

"But that's normal." Regis explained as he pulled the strap of his shoulder bag with his hand.

"A few years ago, the court of Cintra caused a big trouble because of the demon hunters. Have you heard about that banquet about the law of accidents?"

Lan Enxin said that he not only heard it, but also heard it from the mouths of the people involved.

The fateful link between Geralt and Ciri began with that casually mentioned law of accident.

"So the people of Cintra are no strangers to the profession of witchers, and the mayor also knows the professionalism of witchers."

The young man touched his chin, speculating on the hidden information behind this mission.

"That's the truth."

Regis nodded first, then leaned his head against Lan En and lowered his voice.

"Do you want me to investigate? The description of this task is too vague. It doesn't look like a decree issued by the mayor to ensure the normal operation of the city."

As the vampire spoke, he made a 'pass quietly' gesture with the palm of his other hand.

Lan En held his chin and thought for a while, then shook his head.

"No, I don't need your help now. I know what you mean. Such a secretive task is more like a royal order than the mayor's decree. But the more this happens, the more likely you are to become The vampires of the fog have less room to develop."

Because the more critical the information, the more it will only exist in the minds of the insiders and not on paper.

"Go and take a look first. Anyway, if you can't finish it, you might find it too troublesome."

The witcher shrugged indifferently.

"We're not here for the bounty. Let's leave when the time comes! With you here, who can stop us?"

Lan En patted the vampire next to him on the shoulder, and Regis smiled gently.
