The Journey of the Demon Hunter

At this time, a guard ran from the direction of the wall. He ran under the gallows, breathless with exhaustion.

"Town, Lord Mayor, I, I, I want to report, report." He bent over and propped his knees with one hand, and the other hand pointed towards the city gate. "He, they are here."

"Your report, your report, your report can be postponed for a while." Rogliedo imitated the guard's stuttering voice. "You'd better give me a but, but, a reason not to kick you off."

"His reason is here." Zelin's voice was low and mute, but the whole square was quiet. The blood-stained demon hunter walked in from the opened city gate, holding a sword in one hand and a fang almost half a meter long in the other. People looked at the demon hunter who came by, and stepped back subconsciously. Zelin looked around, finally set his gaze on Loliedo. "My friend and I killed the octopus monster." As he said, he threw his fangs to the ground in front of him. "Its body is under the broken bridge to the east. You can send someone to make sure. What about the good pay you said before?"

"Of course you will be paid a lot." Luo Lido made a gesture of peace and tranquility to Zelin, then turned to the crowd gathered below and opened his arms. "Celebrate! This is the first victory we won. A powerful monster can't beat us, neither can the Squirrel Party! To celebrate this good news, I announce that I will invite all the wine in the tavern today, and everyone can enjoy it. Until sunset!"

This time, people's cheers became more sincere.

"It seems you don't need to go to the mountains outside the city to find your friends." Roche said to Geralt. "Go to find out about the assassin. I'll go to Rogliedo. We will meet in front of the tavern before sunset."

As for Zelin, Rogliedo was very generous, because only he and Zelin knew that the reward between them was not gold.

"You smell like you just walked out of the trash, Demon Hunter." Standing under the gallows, Rowley frowned and pinched his waist with both hands. People have poured into the pub, yelling for more beer. It seems that only this incident was true this morning. "I have sent someone to inspect the body, and I want to make a specimen of this monster's body and place it in the Floating Harbor Plaza."

"I advise you not to do this." Zelin stretched out a finger. "The swollen corpse was filled with venom, and only wise warlocks and demon hunters can handle it without incident. You'd better tell the people in the town not to fetch water from the creek in the south during this time. You Drag the corpse to the square. I believe that if you don’t handle it properly, you can consider changing places to rebuild the town."

"How much does the appropriate treatment cost?"

"The money for hiring a warlock may be more." Zelin said. "Then you have to expand this square threefold."

"Forget it." Luo Liduo waved his hand. "I am a person of integrity. Since I promised you, I will definitely tell you. But you have to tell me first, how to deal with that monster's corpse? I can't let it pollute all the streams here. I want to help the town. For the safety of the people’s lives."

"The people at Ben Ade College will deal with it, and they will make sure that no pollution or venom is left behind. After about a week, the newcomers will not find traces of such a huge monster in the floating port."

"Very good, then I'll tell you the news of Shiran." Loretta said, touching his chin. "He is a squirrel party. Five days ago, the guards at the trading post discovered that he was holding a boat, trying to sneak across the cordon, or going from the west to the east. You know where the west is, and the west is La Valère. The baronette led. The guards of the trading post attacked him and the other squirrel party on the ship, killed one, and caught him. Then the news came that the king was assassinated, and I suspect that Silan had helped the assassin pass through The blockade of the Ponta River, so it was reported to Vizima. The Royal Regent Committee issued an order three days ago, asking me to **** Silang to Vizima as soon as possible for interrogation."

"Where is he?"

"Not in my hands." Rowleydo scratched the back of his bald head. "I also really want to find out what the squirrel party outside the floating port is planning. These thugs outside the wall are not removed for a day, and I don't sleep well every day. Not only me, but everyone in this town is uneasy. If it were. Shi Lang is in my hand, and I will do everything possible to knock out valuable news from his mouth, for the floating port."

"Since Xi Lang is not in your hands, what did you say before that when I resolve the Squirrel Party, you will hand Xi Lang to me?"

"Because all of us know this is impossible, so an impossible task corresponds to an impossible reward. Isn't it normal?" Luo Liedo laughed. "Enjoy your life, Demon Hunter. If you still want to make a commission, you can go directly to my butler."

Having said that, Rolledo walked towards his office on the hillside, surrounded by other guards.

"Zelin."

Zelin heard a familiar voice, and he turned his head unexpectedly.

"Geralt?"

"You are here." Geralt stepped forward and looked at Zelin, who was covered in blood and mud. "Working for Luo Liduo?"

"No, a very rare monster appeared. Although it came out of the laboratory, it is really rare." Zelin said. "A warlock at Ban Ad College tried to reproduce the ancient octopus behemoth by mixing different creatures, but he failed, and the experimental product ran here. It took a lot of work for me and others to solve it. What about you, Geralt? How did you come to the floating port? I remember the last time you were in Vizima, as your king's guard...how about Foltest?"

"The assassin is a demon hunter."

"Yes, a demon hunter." Jello nodded characteristically. "When I fought him, I saw his eyes. The same eyes as ours."

"What about the badge?" Zelin asked, "What school does he belong to?"

"He doesn't have a badge."

"Hmm..."

"Do you know him?"

"I have a guess, but there is no corroboration, and no evidence. It's hard to tell now. Why did you leave Vizima?"

"Vizima is a mess. The army has withdrawn. The war is over. Now Marshal Natalis is in control. He is a hero of Brenner. He has a standing army of two thousand under him. He is also a civilian and he will not covet. Throne, so he is now the regent, and he has formed a council to keep Tamoria from being divided." Geralt shrugged. "The people in the Regent don’t believe me. All the demon hunters look the same in their eyes, and Roche, the nobles exclude the most loyal to Foltest from the Regent, so we Decided to follow the clues to find the Assassin King, Roche wants to catch him, and I want to figure out what is going on. How many clues do you have?"

"I'm afraid I don't know as much news as you, Geralt." Zelin moved his shoulders, then frowned and looked at the mud on his hands. "Wait, Geralt, I have to go back and take a shower and change my clothes, and then I'll come back to talk to you about the Assassin. Oh, yes, Dandrien and Zoltan are here, too. If none of them are drunk, you should be able to find them in the tavern."

The first thousand and seven hundred and ninety-seven chapters

Zelin thought of a demon hunter.

Brun of the cat school.

He is not a fool, so much news is in front of him, but he has no ability to associate.

As an assassin, Buren was hired to the north to assassinate some expensive targets at a high price. Except for the king, what kind of heads in the north are worth the price?

Nothing.

Bren stole a set of armor that can withstand arrows and a sword that can resist arrows. These two pieces of equipment are very effective against the king's guard. No one knew who assassinated Dermavin before, because the guards on the ship were dead. Although some clowns who performed for the king jumped off the ship and escaped, they didn’t see anything in the panic, only a rough appearance. , A swordsman in a hood, but now Geralt tells him that it was a demon hunter who assassinated Foltest.

When Geralt said that he was a demon hunter, Zelin subconsciously thought of Buren.

Sitting in the wooden barrel, feeling the muscles of his body relax in the hot water, Zelin exhaled for a long time, thinking about the clues he had already had.

The person who assassinated Dermavin and Foltest was obviously the same, and it was probably Bren or Bren's accomplices. Although Buren failed to recruit the Demon Hunters from the Cat School Academy, it does not mean that no other Demon Hunters will join him. There are not many demon hunters in this world, but they are not many. Although demon hunters themselves are not a majority, but in the chaos of more than a hundred years, who knows what happened to different demon hunters? It. Besides, Zelin didn't dare to say that he knew all about the Demon Hunter.

"Master, hot water." Siris stood at the door carrying a wooden bucket and knocked on the door.

"Just put it at the door, Hillis, I'll get it myself." Zelin wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel. "Thanks for your hard work."

"Let me come, master."

"No, wait...oh, okay." Zelin sat back again. Watching the female knight walk in carrying a wooden barrel. "Thank you."

"Nothing."

Siris walked behind Zelin, tested the temperature of the water first, and then poured the water from the back of the demon hunter. Feeling the scouring of the hot water, Zelin exhaled comfortably.

"Where are the others?"

"Ms. Gnaiya is still having lunch." Siris replied. Since coming to the castle, the female knight tried to call several mistresses at first, but she later found out that it was better not to call it that way. "Ms. Hawke has already rested. She said she was a little tired. As for the enchantress, she still disappeared."

"You go to rest too, Hillis."

"I don't work hard, Master." Siris sat on the wooden chair behind Zelin, her hand in gauze gloves resting on his shoulders. "Please rest well, master."

Zelin didn't say anything, letting Siris' fingers relax the tight muscles on his shoulders, and continue to think about the previous things.

He didn't know the credibility of Listo's words. Shi Lang is a squirrel party and may have participated in the assassination of the king, at least to some extent. Rolledo caught him, and Shi Lang may now be in prison in a floating port, or in other safer places for interrogation. Enid hoped that Zelin could save Lang, but didn't tell him the reason. Zelin was used to this, let him do something, and then tell him the reason after finishing it. In the past, the Demon Hunter had no complaints about this, of course, he would not be dissatisfied with Francesca now. But he has his own plans.

He wants to figure out what is going on.

The best way is to find a squirrel party outside the floating port. Zoltan mentioned that Yaivin brought his followers to the Floating Harbor, and the local forest of the Floating Harbor was occupied by an elf called Eofis. Find Eofis, and then directly ask him what is going on. Although Zelin's relationship with the Squirrel Party has never been very good, he doesn't care, what he needs is the truth.

A demon hunter assassinated the king.

As Geralt said, in the eyes of other people, the demon hunter is no different. They don't know what school is divided into, and they don't know what a defector is. They only know that it was made by a demon hunter, and a demon hunter castle is in the Mahakam Mountains, in the territory of Temalia. If the assassin was not a demon hunter, perhaps Zelin didn't need to care so much, but for now, he couldn't risk making the demon hunter's rare reputation in the north become worse again.
