The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Of course I have to convince other people that this is true, and then they go to work hard, no one will compete with me. Only fools will tell other people the secret of success." Amelia smiled naively, if not Considering the content of the language, this smile may be more believable. "Moreover, by being able to break into the network that sells anesthetic powder, I can inquire about more news that ordinary people can't hear, such as..."

Zelin might not know what Amelia wanted to tell him for the time being. A shrill voice cut through the buzzing noise in the casino

"Where is the **** who took my laboratory?!"

The first thousand seven hundred and eighty-two chapters Amelia's warning

A man in a black shirt with a beer belly pushed away the two guards in the corridor in front of the door, and the monocle on the bridge of his nose scanned the crowded basement, and then the basement filled with moldy wood and sweat let him I could not help raising my hand, covering the tip of my nose, muttering a curse. His cry was like a pebble pierced through the water and thrown into a pool. After splashing a piece of water, it immediately dissipated to nothing. A thin boxer found a chance and hit the chin of the strong man in front of him. The crowd onlookers let out loud cheers.

"I know that the thief who broke into the laboratory is here, come out quickly, do you think you can hide? Someone saw you come here!"

Amelia rolled her eyes helplessly and muttered softly. "Damn it, a nearby elf hunter must have noticed me. Why would these pointed ears help a human they hate?"

Zelin lowered his eyes. "You said you found an abandoned laboratory?"

"When I first arrived, there was no one inside, so I thought it was abandoned. I can't blame me. There is dust everywhere. I couldn't bear to see such a good place being abandoned, so I found the contents." Amelia blinked her eyes, revealing a look of regret. "Looking at how bad it is for those beautiful instruments, test tubes, catheters, and petri dishes to accumulate dust in an obscure cave. Although these instruments are not as sophisticated as the ones I used in the healing church, it is a pity that they were wasted."

"I hope you won't use it for worse things." Zelin said solemnly. "Otherwise you will hand over all those things and destroy them."

The man with glasses was standing at the door with his waist pinched, his broad body almost blocking the entire corridor. The two guards looked at him dissatisfied, rubbing their hands, and would stand him up and throw him out as soon as someone ordered it, but the man in his eyes didn't notice it. "Do you think you can hide in the crowd, thief, liar, dirty bitch! Do you think I can't smell the incense you left in the laboratory? You can't hide, the sheriff will be right away He will rush over, he will arrest you, and you will spit out the stolen things together with profits!"

Behind the man, two hired floating port guards were talking in a low voice. Their voices are very small, and there are many noises in the basement, but this has little effect on the ears of the demon hunters.

"Are we really going to search inside one by one? The fat guy paid a good price, but it would offend people. I don't want to get a stick in the back of the head on the way home."

"You are still too young." Another guard patted the sword on his waist. "Who promised to go in and search? We are here to guard. Anyway, there is no back door in the basement. Didn't that person say that there is a smell of smoke on his body? We are guarding here, the corridor is so narrow, no one wants to run away."

Not only Zelin heard it, but Amelia seemed to hear it too.

"Do you need me to help you solve it?" He stretched out his hand to Amelia and asked in a low voice. "There is no need to do this kind of thing in the future. I will ask others to do it for me. You can stay in the castle and do something for Yusevka. She is tired of doing so many things by herself. ."

Although there are puppets to help clean up and take care of the garden, there are still too many things to be busy for such a castle. Zelin didn't know what Yusevka did when everyone was gone, but every time he went back, he always saw a clean and well-kept castle.

"No, no, actually, you don't know... wait, I'll talk to you later."

Amelia sorted out her messy white hair, gave Zelin a relieved look, and walked towards the man who was pinching his waist and standing in the corridor looking at everyone present. An angry light reflected in the man's lens, as if everyone present might be a sneaky thief. But then, his eyes turned into an accident.

"Have your things been stolen, sir?" Amelia put her hands behind her back, widening her eyes and looking at the angry man in front of her. "Need help?"

"Oh, good girl, my things were stolen by a shameless thief. May this thief's dirty hands rot one day soon. He stole my most important equipment and all the results of my research in the past year. I know The thief must have incense on his body. This smell is everywhere in the laboratory. I guess he must know about it, so he ran to this sour basement!" The man waved angrily. Drool splashed all over. "These rude people don't know what experimental value is, what is research results, they will only steal anything that looks valuable in exchange for money, and treat precious experimental equipment as broken copper and rotten iron. You think I am losing it. Are you angry about the things? No, I'm sorry for people's ignorance."

"Yes, you are right, this is too bad." Amelia said sincerely. "Hearing what happened to you reminded me that when my wallet was stolen by thieves, these thieves were really hateful."

"Of course, girl." Seeing that there was finally someone willing to listen to him, the man rubbed the tip of his nose and exhaled. "Why would a beautiful and cute child like you come to such a chaotic place?"

"My wallet was stolen." Amelia said sadly, her appearance was enough to admire Novigrad's best actor. "If I go home like this, my mother will definitely suspect that I spent the money instead of being stolen."

Gnaiya rolled her eyes and said to Hawke. "Looking at this little bastard, she reminds me of the lord's child I have seen in Longxiao Palace. If my daughter dares to do this, I will make her never forget what it's like to whip a whip on her ass."

"Children." Marianne looked at Amelia and smiled. "Don't be too harsh on children. When you have children, you won't say that."

"Oh, I can't stand a child who chirps like a sparrow these days." Gnaiya waved her hand, glanced at Amelia, and snorted disdainfully. "Don't think she is a child, she is worse than many people."

If someone sees Amelia for the first time, or rarely deals with Amelia, it is estimated that no one will agree with Gnaiya, just like Hawke. She just shrugged, took another sip of cold beer, and the man who was talking to Amelia.

"Sir, how did you know that a thief came here?" Amelia asked tentatively. "I heard that someone would come here after stealing something, so I followed. Have you found an eyewitness? If someone can see the thief, I can convince my mother that the wallet is It was really stolen."

"Oh, poor boy, if you want your mother to believe you, go to Robin Dan, an elf village outside the city, and find the hunter Sevik. He often stands guard at the edge of the forest. Today is what he told me to see A figure slipped away from my laboratory and ran to this tavern in the town." As if to increase persuasiveness, the scholar touched his chin and said slowly. "You may not know that Sevik of Robin Dan is the most famous elf hunter nearby. He built a watchtower on the tallest tree in the village to watch and help anyone who is in trouble in the forest. Of course , Provided that the poor person being attacked can live within his sight."

"Sevik of Robin Dan." Amelia repeated, then nodded, showing a sweet smile. "Thank you, sir, I can finally leave this terrible place."

"It's okay, go home quickly, kid." The scholar waved his hand and looked at the other people in the basement again. When he noticed the demon hunter, he paid special attention to Zelin's eyes, as if to see through his pocket. This is especially true when he sees that Zelin has the money to buy wine and drink.

Amelia bends down to thank the scholar, and then trots, passing between the two guards at the door like a gust of wind. The guards looked at Amelia's disappearing back, glanced at each other, and then laughed.

"She smells really good, isn't she? The perfume of the women on the second floor is like moldy bread."

The other guard shrugged. "Yes, I haven't smelled such a scent for a long time."

Regarding this, Zelin could only sigh, and then beckoned to Marian and Gnaiya.

"Let's go."

The loopholes in Amelia's words are full of flaws. If you ask her a few more words, you will probably find something wrong soon. Originally, Zelin was ready, if Amelia was suspected, he would use Aksi Fayin to help solve the problem. But in the face of a beautiful, cute and polite girl, how many people can be wary?

He only hoped that Amelia would not do too much.

Before leaving, the guards checked them carefully and asked them to open their pockets to make sure that there were no stolen goods hidden inside. Although Zelin was very skeptical, how could a small bag fit the experimental instrument without any signs of bulging. However, Zelin never believed that these words had any meaning to guards who were given the power to search others.

After leaving the hotel, Zelin did not see Amelia. But soon, he found her. Amelia beckoned to him, then turned and disappeared behind the corner.

"What the **** are you going to do, Amelia?" Zelin asked helplessly when he walked around the corner and saw the girl leaning against the wall. "What you are doing is getting more and more dangerous."

"Because I did hear some interesting news, don't you want to know it?" Amelia stood up straight and said solemnly. "It is related to the eternal fire of Novigrad."

The first thousand seven hundred and eighty-three chapters of the invitation of the three jackdaws

Amelia did inquire some unusual news.

On the way back to Robin Dan’s Tavern, Zelin kept thinking about what she had said in his mind.

Some people who were once responsible for buying anesthetic powder to Novigrad said that some time ago, the bishop of Eternal Fire in Novigrad, Chapei, seized a batch of anesthetic powder at the river terminal. It is of good quality, much better than what is sold on the market. It is said that the buyer is a high-ranking person among witch hunters. Naturally, just think about it and you can know who these anesthetic powders are for. Chapei's seizure has cost many people heavy losses. Some people say that the eternal fire will soon roll him off the position of the bishop. As for the specific situation, Amelia hasn't fully figured it out yet, and Eternal Fire seems to have some kind of stronger support. Chapei has a great influence in Novigrad, and if he wants to get him down from the position of bishop, he can only rely on power outside the free city.

Eternal Fire has recovered from the blow a few years ago, and has begun to try to gain power outside of Novigrad.

"Be careful, three years is not a long time. If the church wants other people to bow to the bishops and priests they send, it must establish authority. The best way to establish authority is to defeat a seemingly powerful enemy. "Amelia warned Zelin like this. "If they can, they will come to attack you and stand up where they once fell. It is the easiest to deter other people and remind them of the church's appearance and fear when it was strong."

Amelia was right.

Zelin has not cared about church affairs for some time, and all kinds of troubles are endless, so that he is about to completely forget about the eternal fire, and three years ago, the eternal fire was mostly active. It's all done in secret. When thinking of the White Rose Knights, the first thing he thought of was Prince Sheward of Island, not Archbishop Haifam.

"What's the matter?" Marianne asked next to her. "After chatting with that little girl, you kept frowning, is there any trouble? Tell me, I might be able to help. In Kirkwall, my good guys will come when they are in trouble. Talk to me. Helping my friends and buddies solve problems has always been my strength."

Zelin wanted to call Gnaiya to go with him, but the dragonborn decided to personally send Amelia back to the castle. According to her, she doesn't like thieves so much. Of course, taking away things without an owner is not considered stealing, for example, things in a tomb are without an owner.

How can the exploration harvest be called stealing. Isn’t the wealth that remains in the tomb and guarded by ghouls and agencies the treasure left to powerful adventurers?

"There are several churches in our world." Zelin rubbed his sour nose at the edge of the damp forest. Robin Dan's village was full of elf villagers carrying medicine baskets. "One of the churches has a very bad relationship with me. For example, it is equivalent to the church formed by the Derfant mages in your world. Of course it is not that strong. Amelia recently discovered that this church seems to be going to do it recently. What is it? I don’t know the details, but I don’t think it will be to help the poor or build shelters for war refugees."

"Do it right with the church? Hmm... I can hardly imagine it, but I will treat them as Devant's blood wizards." Marianne pinched her earlobe. "There are too few clues. If you can be sure that this church is going to deal with you, then they will definitely find the weakest place to do it. I remember, you have a friend in the church?"

"Zha Pei? Wait..." Zelin suddenly thought of something. "You mean, the eternal fire might attack Chapei and use it to deal with me?"

"If I know that there is a friend in my organization who is right with the organization, then I will also find a way to keep that person away from me. But if it is in the style of Deventer, I guess it should have disappeared suddenly. , And the world evaporated." Marianne made a gesture of slitting her throat. "You can warn your friend and figure out what is going on directly from him. But I suspect that your friend may be ignorant of this, and may even be praised for being fair. To deal with the enemy , We should let the enemy relax their vigilance, don't you think?"

"That's right... I may have to meet with Zha Pei as soon as possible."

When Zelin took Altariel to Novigrad more than a week ago, he didn't visit him because he didn't want to cause trouble to Chapei. If he knew about this earlier, he would definitely find a way to meet Cha Pei as soon as possible.
