Night Crow Master

In the afternoon, Yate and Athias showed up at the destination-after Yate agreed, Athias immediately changed his mind and set off.

Because, coming with them, there are two mercenaries.

One is called Tok and the other is Fan Di. The two with smiles are standing beside the carriage without a hood.

These two people had taken over the task of the Mercenary Guild.

Confirm whether the demon priest exists. If there is, after the solution is resolved, you can return to the mercenary guild to receive two bounties-one is to confirm the authenticity of the demon priest's information, and the other is to resolve the incident.

The mercenary guild has a corresponding reward and punishment mechanism. If the information is falsely reported, the mercenaries who receive the task will also receive a commission after being confirmed. The amount is probably their travel expenses back and forth, no more or less.

The mercenaries who bring false information will be punished and paid the money.

If the confirmation is true, then both the reporter and the person who confirms the information will get a commission. The commission is borne by the lord and the mercenary guild. If it is about demon warlocks, demon warlocks, etc., the church will also work together. Bear the commission.

A relatively complete mechanism constitutes the current system.

In small places, in areas where there is no formal mercenary guild, there is no such mechanism, and only larger territories will appear.

This Toke and Fan Di are acquaintances with Athias, and...Yat also knows these two people.

On the day he first came to Red Rose Town, or Rose City.

When Art taught the thief who had touched his purse, the two followed him and later transferred the thief to the sheriff.

Noting the look in Yate's eyes, Toke and Fan Di looked at each other, and both smiled. This Sir Crowreddo seems to remember them both?

Originally, they took the task when they knew that Athias would also come to deal with it, but they didn't expect that this "apprentice of Count Mercury" would also come here.

An apprentice of a formal wizard, together with Athias, a reliable paladin who speaks ridiculously, seems safer.

On the way here, Athias talked to them and invited this person over, but the other party did not talk to them at first, and has been discussing the profound issues with His Excellency along the way. Someone had a conversation, and they thought the other person could not remember.

It now appears that the Sir Crowridge knows them.

"Sir Claudio, I thought you no longer remember us." Seeing that Athias temporarily stopped his eloquent words, the two spoke to Yate.

"Of course." Yate gave a smile, nodded at the two, and then asked, "Are you familiar with this place?"

Along the way, Athias, who looked at the scenery from time to time, seemed a little strange, but the two drivers as drivers brought him and Athias over in a carriage. They didn’t even stop along the way. It should be quite Familiar with this road.

"Of course." The mercenary named Tok, wearing a short sword and a small buckler, nodded with a smile, "This is a hunter village, because the original village was too far away, so there were hunters here at the beginning. A hunter’s hut was built, and then a few loggers and hunters came here and built huts...After a few years, it developed into a small village, which was directly managed by the town of Red Rose.. ....."

The mercenary named Fan Di also said: "This neighborhood is close to...Rose City. There are often mercenaries coming and going, so there are basically no monsters around here, not even ferocious beasts."

Apart from having not adapted to the names of Red Rose Collar and Rose City, the two fluently introduced this hunter village.

Is it a safe hunting gathering place for hunters?

And at this moment, two people walked out of the hunter village surrounded by wooden fences.

One was dressed in a slightly grayish-white robe that looked like a priest, and the other was dressed similarly to Athias, but just a leather armor with a few pieces of armor hanging on it.

The two priests can be seen as apprentice priests with the direction of priest and paladin respectively.

They walked straight towards Athias, paused in front of him, drew a horizontal line on their chest, and said in unison:

"Master Athios."

It seemed that the two of them were the priests that Athias mentioned and were sent first.

The two greeted each other. Under the introduction of Athias, after all of them knew each other's names, Athias continued to ask for information: "Markey, Qiao Xiu, have you found anything unusual?"

The two looked at each other, and then the trainee priest Qiao Xiu wearing the priest's robes first spoke: "We came here to investigate, but no abnormalities were found. I did not find the aura similar to the demon sacrificial by using the detective magic."

Detecting divine magic allows the caster to see the aura on the opponent's body, and the size of a variety of auras can roughly judge that a person is good, evil, chaotic, and lawful. The behavior of the person will affect the aura. Such items will also affect detection.

Because people like demon sacrificial priests and demon warlocks are similar to demons, the chaotic aura will be more obvious in the aura, and it is easy to judge.

With that said, he couldn't help but glanced at Yate.

In the next moment, he saw in Yate a similar aura to those wizards and nobles——

A fluctuating aura hovering between lawful evil and lawful neutral, neutral good and chaotic good.

A typical wizard has a complex and changeable aura.

Just as Qiao Xiu had this thought in his mind, he saw a smile on his lips.

Then, an unspeakable sense of fear came to my mind, but was immediately blocked by a firm will.

But even so, he took a step back subconsciously, and then, the inaudible voice rang out: "Prior Qiao, don't use magic arts on others casually, it's easy to cause misunderstanding, right?"

Qiao Xiu wiped his cold sweat and nodded.

Whether it is a spellcaster or not, this kind of probing behavior is very rude and may even cause conflict.

And Athias, who was watching Qiao Xiu, shook his head. Although he knew the essence of the Holy See, not everyone understood.

For example, the court faction.

And this Qiao Xiu was the one who had been promoted to the Tribunal of the Holy See in Durard County just before he came.

After a year, this guy still can't change this habit.

He stepped forward and said to the three of Yat and Tok: "Detecting magic has not been found. In addition to non-existence, it is also possible that the magic is blocked by some magic item or other means. We checked twice. , If there is no result, you can return."

"Okay." Yafeng nodded, Toke and Fan Di had no objection, and March, who had been silent, also nodded.

Afterwards, everyone entered the hunter village together.

Compared to the villages and towns I have seen before, this hunter village is very small.

There are only 30 households in total.

The materials used for building houses are also derived from wood felled from the forest, and materials such as stones are not used for construction.

Therefore, this hunter village looks very natural and harmonious.

As soon as everyone walked into the village, an old man who appeared to be in his sixties and three young people came to meet him.

"I'm Mashad, I have seen all the adults." When the old man came to the crowd, he bowed, and then asked directly, "I don't know what the adults are doing here?"

They are a hunter's village. Although mercenaries or adventurers will occasionally pass by, because of the route, there will generally not be many mercenaries passing by.

At noon, a young hunter told him that two priests from the Holy See of Light had come, and he had already started to pay some attention, "handling monsters". For him, this reason can be said to be a mistake. There are plenty of reasons.

He knew the two young mercenaries, and the two of them took two orders from them to help them deliver furs and other goods.

The young man in the white-gold robe should be a big figure in the church. The one dressed very strangely, but in terms of temperament, it should be a nobleman...

And when I saw these people, it was even more certain that it was not because of the so-called monsters, there must be other circumstances.

What happened?

The old man thought to himself.

Yate glanced at Qiao Xiu and March, and then said: "Someone reported to the Mercenary Guild that there was a scavenger here and blue flames, so I suspect there may be an evil necromancer nearby."

These two priests are not ordinary stupid. The ambiguous reason for "handling monsters" can be said. Moreover, even with this kind of reason, they have been wandering around the village to see that the priest named Qiao Xiu uses spy on him. The behavior of measuring magic can be inferred, this guy must use detection magic everywhere in the village, how does this look like looking for a monster?

"Scorching monster?" The old man was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't recognize this monster.

Yate calmly explained: "The scavenger is a mid-level monster. It likes the smell of corpses the most. It likes to swallow corpses that have been dead for more than ten days. Therefore, when such monsters appear, there should be quite a few nearby. The discovery of this kind of monster in the body of "means that there may be necromancers nearby."

The basics of potions given by the Duke of Mercury at the beginning also introduced some monsters and the materials that can be used on them. Among them, there is a decomposing agent that can quickly decompose corpses, and the materials used are rot. Weird stomach acid,

While explaining, he watched the dazed old man: "Are there any corpses in your village that store prey for a long time?"

"Yes," Mashad replied immediately, "Because the cold winter is approaching, we made a lot of jerky and stored a lot of ingredients, but we handled the place very cleanly, and there was no body smell... ..."

After hearing about the "Scorching Monster", the old man was also a little panicked. Necromancers are enemies for most extraordinary people, especially for ordinary people.

But Yate squinted his eyes.
