Demon Hunter: I became a god in the demon hunting world

"They are all people I know, can't we go in directly?"

Kebi was a little confused. Why was the captain who used to have a kind face so serious today?

"Master Kebi, you can go in, and so can the lady, but... this witcher must be registered." The captain said with a serious face, "You know, we all act according to the rules, in case someone else sneaks in. It’s not good in the fortress.”

"But..." Kebi was about to reason again, but was interrupted by the demon hunter waving his hand.

The latter said in a deep voice: "My name is Dick, and I am a demon hunter."

The captain took out a notebook with a serious face and wrote something in a quill.

After a moment, he said: "No offense intended, well, you can go in."

Dick didn't say much and followed Kebi's footsteps into the courtyard.

Kebi explained on the side: "This is the place where my adoptive father lives, so the guards and inspections will be stricter, so you don't have to worry about it."

"I understand," Dick replied.

He naturally understands the rationale and also knows the reason for being targeted.

But these are not important, obtaining energy points is the top priority.

And again, what does the trouble caused by the original person have to do with me?

Seeing that Dick was calm and unaffected, Kebi relaxed. He didn't want to get into trouble with Dick.

He looked at Siya inquiringly, but the latter just pursed her lips and smiled.

Kebi seemed to be encouraged, pointing forward and said: "Look, this towering fortress has a history of hundreds of years.

"At that time, my adoptive grandfather captured a large number of Gato barbarians on the grassland and drove them to build this fortress."

Mentioning Catu, Dick suddenly remembered that there is a grassland in this game world, called Catu Grassland, where all the people are soldiers, all warriors on horseback carrying bows and arrows and holding spears.

They make a living by plundering, and from time to time they will step out of the grasslands and invade surrounding countries.

Neighboring countries also worked together to exterminate the Catu people.

But because the grassland was too big and the Cato people were very good at riding, they had to give up after several attempts.

Just as he was thinking about it, the gate of the fortress was opened by the maid inside.

Kebi had handed his horse into the hands of a groom, and the three entered the fortress.

Dick looked around. The entire fortress was made of marble, and the interior space was extremely spacious.

There is a long table in the middle of the living room in front of you, with seats on the left and right. It looks like it should be the owner's dining table;

The wall facing the end of the long table is equipped with a heater that leads directly to the outside to combat the dry cold in northern winter.

"Master Kebi, you are back." A maid said.

"Where is my adoptive father, Odin III now? I hired a professional demon hunter to help him solve his troubles these days."

Upon hearing this, the servant's eyes widened with fear, as if she had been disturbed by the ghost before.

"Recently, there have been traces of Gato people in the surrounding villages. They came to 'hunt' again, and Lord Odin left with his army and may not come back until night."

"Damn Gato bandits, they will come out of their lair every autumn to rob!

"Hunting? To put it nicely, those women and food are their prey. Sooner or later I will become an official knight and lead the knights to completely annihilate them."

The young master spoke in a hurried tone, clearly disgusted with the Cato people.

He turned back and looked at the demon hunter hesitantly, wondering whether to let Dick and Sia leave temporarily.

"It's okay, we can wait. And this lady..." Dick looked at the maid, "You seem to know about the ghost this time. Can you explain it to me?"

When Kebi saw this, he was relieved. He really didn't want the two of them to leave just now.

On the one hand, the witcher has real abilities and should be able to solve the troubles in the fortress;

On the other hand, he wanted to have further contact with the sorcerer's apprentice.

Shia on the side was not as healthy as the demon hunter. She got up early today, walked outside the city, and cast a large spell. She was already a little weak, so she sat on a chair next to the dining table to rest.

When Kebi saw this, he immediately lifted a porcelain pot on the dining table, poured the juice in the pot into a cup, and handed it to the warlock apprentice with a compliment on his face.

Shia took a brief sip and nodded gently, seemingly satisfied with the taste of the juice in the cup, and finally said softly: "Thank you."

When Kebi saw this, his expression became even more joyful. He simply sat on the stool next to Shia and chatted in a low voice. He stopped caring about the entrustment and became the shopkeeper.

Dick didn't care, but listened carefully to the words of the maid in front of him.

"That's it, Master Demon Hunter. Just the past two days, we always heard a woman crying at night."

Dick waved his hand gently, "I have heard Kebi say this. What I want to ask is, do you know why this situation occurs? Or why does that weird thing, or something like a ghost, appear? ?”

After hearing the words of the witcher, the maid's eyes dodge, her lips opened and closed several times, and she could not speak timidly.

As soon as Dick saw it, he knew that there was something hidden in this matter.

He glanced sideways and saw Kebi chatting animatedly with the warlock apprentice. He simply blinked and signaled to the maid, and then came to a corner of the fortress to ensure that Kebi would not hear the rest of the conversation.

When the maid saw this, she had no choice but to follow Dick to a deserted corner.

"Can we talk now?" Dick said softly.

Then he continued, "Don't worry, I won't say that you told me the reason for this matter, but I found out after asking around."

The thin maid looked at the dining table with some fear, and when she saw that Master Coby's attention was completely attracted by the beautiful lady beside him, she was relieved and whispered:

"It's like this, three days ago, one of my sisters, her name is Rose, she is not my real sister, but they all come from poor peasant families and come here to serve the lord.

"But when she was cleaning, she accidentally broke the lord's favorite collection of antiques, the vase.

"That day, the lord severely punished her and ordered the servants to whip her more than a dozen times with a whip.

"Oh my God, when I think of this picture..." The maid couldn't help but clench her hands.

"When I came back to the residence that night, I applied the herbs to her personally, and her back was full of whip marks. "

"So...she committed suicide?" Dick asked.

"Yes, but I don't think this is the reason why Rose committed suicide... "The maid didn't expect Dick to make such a direct inference, and replied timidly.

Dick knew that the key point of the matter had come.

"At that time, Master Odin said that since she couldn't afford to pay for the antique, he wanted her to sell it directly to a brothel after she recovered from her injuries.

"That night I comforted her for a long time, but Rose just cried. In the end, I had no choice but to go to bed alone.

"Who would have thought that at midnight, I felt a chill, and opened my eyes for no reason, and then saw a figure swaying gently on the beam opposite the bed.
