"No, it barked several times. I felt like the howling of a wild wolf."

"Interesting. Does this kind of thing usually happen only in the early morning?"

"Yes, it's usually around early morning. Now three villagers have died.

"But when people go out in groups at night, just like those mercenaries go out together, they will be fine."

"Are there any other clues? For example, where are the bodies of the dead? Can I take a look?"

"Master Dick, people near us said that the dead will be cursed after being sucked blood by monsters. If the body is intact after death, it will turn into a monster, so the family members have burned the bodies."

"Is that so? Then this matter is a bit difficult to handle."

"Then... Lord Demon Hunter, Master, will you accept this commission?" The boss asked cautiously.

"Of course I will accept it. But what's the price?"

"50 crowns, how about 50 crowns?

"This is what the villagers nearby and I collected together."

"Okay."

"Then Master Dick, you should stay here today, right?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because the monster will only appear around midnight."

"By the way, I forgot to mention one thing. Every time the monster attacks someone, they are all drunkards."

"I see. Help me get a room. As for the money for feeding the horse and my meals?"

"I don't need any of that. Your food and accommodation for the next two days are all free, as long as you can get rid of this monster."

"This monster is so abominable! Since it came, the income of my hotel has been reduced by half, and I am also worried every day, afraid that it will break into the door when I sleep."

"Okay, deal."

Dick began to think to himself again:

It likes to attack drunk people because drunk people are powerless to resist.

But it doesn't dare to attack people who are fully armed and hugging together, which means that this monster is very bullying.

But if it is a monster, a lone person does not need to be drunk, and a monster can easily kill an ordinary person. Why does it specifically pick drunk people?

Blood, drunkenness...

Dick suddenly had an idea and looked at the boss again: "Prepare a bottle of wine for me, any wine is fine."

"Okay, Master Dick."

Although the boss didn't know what the demon hunter in front of him was going to do, he still readily took a large bottle of wine with an iron bottle cap.

At this time, a cold wind blew over with the sound of the door creaking open behind him, and the door was closed again in an instant.

Dick turned around and saw a muscular man wearing animal skins and a bow on his back.

He walked directly to the bar, glanced at Dick, and didn't look at him much.

Then he looked at the boss again: "Prepare some food for me, no wine."

"Brown, how was the harvest of hunting today?" The boss asked while busying himself.

"Hey, forget it, we didn't catch any prey."

"Don't be discouraged, maybe we can go tomorrow. Don't you want to have a little wine in this weather?"

"How can I be lucky? No need for wine. I have quit drinking these days."

"Brown, I am really surprised to hear such words from your mouth. You used to be an alcoholic."

"I am not interested in drinking now. I have higher pursuits."

The boss heard it, sneered, and handed the tray with some side dishes to the hunter without saying much.

The hunter slapped a handful of coins, then found a corner to sit down, and took a knife and fork to chew the food in front of him.

"I said you should keep your voice down. You will not be happy if you disturb our Black Cat Mercenary Group."

A man at the table behind the hunter stood up and spoke fiercely.

But with the bumps on his head, he looked a little funny.

Dick looked and saw that it was the Black Cat Mercenary Group that he had beaten up during the game today.

There were about 10 people from the mercenary group in this room, sitting at two tables.

When Dick was eating before, these people were silent.

The hunter called Brown just looked up and glanced at the black cat mercenaries, and did not respond, still eating the food in front of him.

The men around laughed when they saw this.

The mercenary man who just stood up was embarrassed and blushed, and was about to teach the hunter a lesson.

At this time, Dick said: "Don't make trouble here."

The man turned his head to look at Dick, and was about to get angry, but when he saw his cat eyes, he suddenly remembered that he had just been punished today.

Then he sat down without saying a word.

The other mercenaries around him stopped talking, just staring at their wine glasses, as if flowers were growing on them.

"Thank you, Master Dick." The boss at the bar whispered, "Do you want to rest now? I'll take you upstairs."

"Okay."

Then the two came to a room on the second floor. After Dick entered, the boss walked to the door: "Then Master Dick, I'll call you when the time comes."

Dick nodded, and then the door was closed.

The demon hunter did not sleep, but knelt on the bed and began to gather strength.

Of course, he also considered the use of 500 energy points.

When he was in Tangchi Village before, he used the accumulated energy points to upgrade [Magic Trap] in order to complete the commission.

And this time, he quickly accumulated 500 energy points.

For these 500 energy points, Dick decided to upgrade [Swordsmanship] and [Psychic Shock Wave].

Even if I save more energy points in the future, I will only consider these two items unless there are special circumstances.

Without much hesitation, the 400 energy points on the panel disappeared instantly, leaving only 100, and the swordsmanship was upgraded from [Professional Level] to [Elite Level].

And then, Dick had a lot more insights into swordsmanship in his mind.

After upgrading to [Elite Level], Dick realized many shortcomings in his previous swordsmanship.

This not only improved his swordsmanship skills, but also improved his reaction to the on-the-spot performance, which was a comprehensive and substantial improvement in all aspects.

Thinking about it in this way, if I compete with Fisher in swordsmanship again, even if I suppress my strength, I can easily defeat him.

I don’t know how long it took, I heard the knock on the door, opened my eyes, and Dick felt relaxed and energetic.

After preparing the weapon, he opened the door, and the young waiter was outside.

"Master Dick, my father is old and can't stand the pain of staying up late, so I came to call you."

"What time is it now, young man?"

"It's 11:30. In the past, we would hear the howling of wolves between 11 and 1. Master Dick, is it too early to call you?" The young man asked cautiously, fearing that he would anger the demon hunter in front of him.

"No, the time is just right. You don't have to go out later, just help me point the way at the gate of the courtyard."

"Okay, Master Dick."

The two came to the gate of the courtyard, and the young man pointed to the path on the left and said, "Walk three or five minutes ahead, the three villagers all died on the road ahead, so be careful."
