The Journey of the Demon Hunter

When he saw Zelin walk in, leaving a series of footprints on his most beautiful red carpet, Luo Liduo couldn't help but frowned.

"I thought that the most famous demon hunter in the floating harbor area should be the same as the nobles in Novigrad or Vizima, dressed appropriately and knowing how to clean the mud from the boots."

Benard Rolledo was sitting behind his desk, holding his fat belly, bruised by beer and bacon. Under the brown leather jacket was a white shirt, and a sword was hidden under the wide coat, only half of the hilt was exposed at the waist. The bald head reflected the oily light under the light of the silver candlestick.

"I thought the streets of Floating Port were not so muddy. At least a few years ago, the slabs were laid here." Zelin walked around the display cabinet placed in the center of the room. Going to Rogliedo, he pulled the chair away and sat down. On the display cabinet is displayed a finely crafted sculpture of a soldier holding a flag, which is of great value. "It seems that these things are spreading on other ground?"

"Are you here to taunt me like that old woman? Put away your irony, demon hunter, I never care about it, because I offended so many people for the future of the floating port, and they will definitely distort it. All kinds of things slander my reputation. Isn’t that the same with you demon hunters? Some people don’t like you, so rumors about you are flying all over the sky. But people support me, even if the floating port becomes the second like In a free city like Novigrad, people will continue to support me as their mayor."

"I don't think they have to choose, because your soldiers will make sure that you can get enough support, just like those who are driven away from your home can't influence your decision at all."

Rogliedo drank the wine in the glass in his hand. Then he stretched out his hand to get another cup across the desk. This was the one he poured for Schell, but Schell didn't drink it. But Zelin took the cup first.

"Oh, those non-human boring rumors again. Yes, I did drove them all out, but it was all for the development of the town." Luo Lido knocked on the table. "The floating port has been so many years, everyone is still shrinking behind the city wall. If I don't need some coercive measures, then everyone will still be crowded in garbage dumps and stinky drains full of rats. You see, wait for it. Bindan Village expands and takes shape, people cut down the trees outside, and no more monsters appear, I can hire craftsmen to move the fence outward. For the future, sacrificing the interests of the present will definitely attract a lot of dissatisfaction. So I Say, I don’t care, I don’t care."

"If I had such a treasure in the entire courtyard, I might not care what other people said." Zelin shrugged.

"Oh, of course the money must be put in the hands of wise people. If it is in the pockets of those fishermen and lumberjacks, they will squander the money in the tavern within a day, and then the tavernkeeper will give it to other places in the name of purchase. Merchants, or be deceived by foreign vendors in the market. It is better to put it here and invest in the construction of the floating port. When the floating port becomes rich, everyone will have money to take it. These short-sighted farmers are basically I don't know what is future development and what is long-term benefits." Luo Liedo waved his hand. "I guess the reason you are here is not to ridicule me like those idiots, tell me, what are you going to do?"

"You seem to care if I am in a floating port?"

"Of course, you know, I represent the law in this area, because I need to know what the famous demon hunter nobles are going to do in this place where the bird does not shit."

"What are you talking about, Loretta?"

"Everyone said that you are only one commission and a village away from becoming a first lord." Luo Lieduo laughed. "But this kind of false name doesn't make much sense to you. Anyway, you already have a castle, and there are some professional soldiers who respect you and are willing to fight for you. Maybe someday, the **** southerners will come over to win over you. You, let you become their spy."

"I have heard enough of these silly jokes." Zelin put down the cup. "I came to you for two things, Lloretto. There was only one, but you made one more. The bard Dandrien and the dwarf Zoltan are my friends. I don’t know how you are. Think about it, cancel the charges against them, do you think I will watch them hang by you?"

"Your friend is telling the news about the Squirrel Party," Rogliedo said. "People support me because I can resist the threat posed by the Squirrel Party. Without me, the town would have been reduced to rubble by the Squirrel Party mobs. I would treat anyone who tried to sell the town. To those who are mobs, or non-human, their only end is to be hanged on the gallows. If I release these two people today, someone else will question my sentence tomorrow. The order must be executed, especially The death penalty is the so-called deterrence, and it is absolutely necessary in the struggle with the Squirrel Party."

"I don't care about your deterrence, or hanging an elf on the square until the body decays is what you call deterrence. Let them go, before your credibility is completely destroyed, otherwise I will use other Means to solve the problem. You know what I can do." Zelin rubbed his fingers. "Or are you more willing to let me use magic to change your mind? I usually don't do this because it will cause irreversible harm to people."

Of course, Yaxi Fayin couldn't achieve this effect, it was only for the sorcerer, but it did not prevent him from bluffing.

Luo Liduo looked stiffly at the fingers of the demon hunter, and after a few seconds, he exhaled. "I can convict them of not guilty, but your friend must show sufficient respect to me. Let the poet throw all those **** satirical poem flyers into the dunghill! No, he is going to throw them tonight Get it all back and burn it!"

"So what crime did they commit?"

"It's up to you, Demon Hunter?" Lorrido returned angrily and sat back on the chair, his whole body like the mud sinking into the wooden chair. He subconsciously picked up the glass and found that there was no wine in it. So he rang the bell, and within a few seconds, a servant came in with a new bottle of wine.

"Taucente's fine wine?"

"This is not what I want, because I'm sick." Lorrido murmured. "If I don't drink some Towson's red wine, my knees feel uncomfortable. That's because of the injuries I suffered while fighting with the Squirrel Party. It has been several years."

Zelin would not tell Rogliedo that the bottle of wine he bought was actually from Baihua Valley, only that it was labeled with Tousent on the outside. This is part of the cooperation agreement signed by Francesca and Duchess Anna two years ago.

"What happens if you don't drink Tousent's red wine? For example, Vizima's cherry wine? Or Baihuagu's cider?"

"Then it's useless. Only the wine produced in the Empire is the best. The wine from the north, even the Baihuagu wine, is like horse urine overnight." There was a displeased voice in Luo Liedo's throat. The horse urine in the cup drank all at once. "You just said there is one more thing? What is it?"

"Siran Isnylan." Zelin stared at Lorrido's eyes. "He disappeared near the floating port. I want to know if there is any clue about him."

After hearing Zelin's question, Rogliedo hesitated for a while before speaking slowly.

"I can tell you about him, but. Listen to me, but! Damn, you have to give me some face! If everyone knows that their commander against the Squirrel Party will be threatened, the Squirrel Party will dare the next day Attack the town, and the guards will hide in the house shivering, and are unwilling to fight with me." Rogliedo held out a finger. "You must help me solve the octopus monster's troubles, and the Squirrel Party that has been ambushing pedestrians outside the city, so I will tell you the news of Shiran."

Chapter 1794: Laboratory and Kitchen

This Xi Lang.

It may be more important than Zelin expected.

There is nothing wrong with solving the octopus monster, because Zelin himself will solve this monster. But against the squirrel party outside the city?

"Foltest established the Blue Iron Guard to fight the Squirrel Party." Zelin said slowly. "After seven years, the Squirrel Party has not been eradicated. Now, do you think that a demon hunter who enters the forest single-handedly can wipe out opponents that the king's troops failed to kill? Or do you think I walked into the forest and wielded With the sword and yelling, the Squirrel Party will come to me obediently and wait for me to chop off their heads? I want to know the whereabouts of Xi Lang, but it doesn't mean you can blackmail me. "

"The leader of the Squirrel Party is Iofis. He has been raging in the floating port for almost two years, and my townspeople have suffered greatly." There was a bit of heartache in Rogliedo's tone. "These good people did not commit any mistakes, but they were shot to death by the Squirrel Party on their way home. As a result, there are still non-humans in the town willing to join the Squirrel Party. That's why I have to use powerful methods to deal with those who colluded with the Squirrel Party. The reason. Humanitarianism should stand aside when fighting the mob. And these squirrel parties will even kidnap villagers, whether humans or elves, to create fear."

"I heard that several elves in Robin Dan Village were missing." Zelin asked suddenly. "You said this was made by the Squirrel Party?"

"Does this still need to be asked?" Rogliedo waved his hand contemptuously. "Eofis is a cunning bastard. He does everything in order to get the non-humans living in the floating harbor to support his plan. He will kill the humans and then kill the elves who are unwilling to support him to provoke the contradiction between the two sides. , To force more people to join him. Otherwise, do you think that when everyone is living and working in peace, who would be willing to give up their possessions and become a rebel in the forest? Although Robin Dan looks simple, the people there are all Very hardworking, and my gate guards will protect them. Thanks to my dedicated soldiers, Robin Dan has not had any trouble for two months. In time, it will become the most prosperous Elven City."

"So you mean, let me help you solve the trouble caused by Iofis, and you will tell me where Shiran is?" Zelin narrowed his eyes slightly. "Perhaps Shiran is in your dungeon now? Let's make a price, how much are you willing to cast him out."

"It's not that simple, Demon Hunter." Rowleydo shook his head. "This matter is very important. I don't know who asked you to find Xi Lang, but... we'd better reach an agreement, which is good for both of us. Did you just see the woman walking out? That old woman is also very interested in Shi Lang. I can tell you about it, no matter who asked you to find Shi Lang, the demon hunter, you must be used. Shi Lang is not an ordinary person, he is a floating port area. Even Tamoria's most dangerous person. If Foltest had not been seriously injured and unconscious, once he was caught, he should be sent to Vizima for trial and hanged immediately."

When Zelin walked out of the city hall and came into the courtyard, it was almost dark. Dandrine stirred the lute while chatting and laughing with a woman in her thirties. The bored Zoltan sat on the stone next to the stairs, chewing on a dog's tail grass. Two guards were watching them nearby, but the helpless expression on the guards' faces indicated that they wanted to join the carnival in the courtyard more than the guards.

"How about it, Zelin?" Zoltan asked quickly. "What did Rolledo say?"

"You two are innocent. This is the order he signed before." Zelin shook the parchment roll in his hand, then threw it backhand into the brazier aside. "Now, let's go back and rest. Zoltan, please go and inform Dole Gare for me. We will tackle the octopus monster tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?"

"Yes, enough information has been collected. I will go back to the castle today to prepare some necessary materials, and then at noon tomorrow, we will solve the problem."

"Well, I will definitely bring the news. Even if the old mage is drunk, I will grab his beard and tell him about it, and then make sure that he can sober up tomorrow morning." Zoltan said vowedly. "You helped me and Dandrien solve a big problem. When you are free, I will definitely invite you to drink before I leave the floating port."

Zelin walked towards Mahakam and waved his back to the dwarf. "I'm looking forward to it, Zoltan."

He promised Rowley to solve the octopus monster, but he didn't say much about solving the squirrel party, but took it without comment. On this, Rogliedo was tight-lipped, but he still revealed some news.

Once caught, should it be sent to Vizima to be tried and hanged immediately?

Rolledo probably captured Xi Lang, but did not imprison him in the dungeon. He would find out about Shiran, but not through Roledo. The demon hunter is also very curious now, who exactly is this Shi Lang, or what news is in him that would interest so many people.

Not far from the floating port, a calm voice stopped Ze Lin.

"Devil hunter."

Zelin turned around and saw Shir coming out from behind a truck.

"Shir." Zelin nodded. "What's the matter?"

"What do you want to do with Luo Lido?" Seeing Zelin didn't speak, Shire continued. "I know you were tapping outside when I met with Lorrido."

"You can suspect that anyone standing outside is eavesdropping, such as the guard in the porch and the mercenary in the courtyard." Zelin shrugged. "Your yelling when you scolded Lloretto is louder than any woman in the yard. Okay, don't be angry, it's actually nothing. You know, there has been an octopus monster attacking cargo ships in the Ponta River. There is no merchant ship left on this river, and the people who transport the goods are more willing to hand over the goods to the horse convoy on the road, which makes the income of the trading post in Lorrido plummet. So he hopes that I can help solve the problem that affects the money. Monster, in exchange, he must declare that my two friends are not guilty and pay me enough."

"That's right."

Who knows, Schill didn't go away. "You have to deal with the octopus monster, when?"

Zelin raised his eyebrows unexpectedly. He temporarily wondered what the purpose of not being able to say this was. "If there is no problem, I will do it tomorrow, and I will call some helpers together."

"That octopus monster is very valuable for research, I hope to get its materials, so... tomorrow I can help you, I can help you fight with spells, but you have to give me the materials for the octopus monster "Shir suggested. "And you can take all the employment costs of Loretta. How about it?"

Zelin knew the answer without thinking.
