Demon Hunter and His Hut

The Witcher and His Cabin ()

What should I call you? Roger said suddenly, but his tone was strange, obviously in another language.

You can speak our language? the mermaids spoke, their voices were mellow like in the legend, even if they didn't sing, their voices were beautiful enough.

That's not difficult. Roger smiled.

Siennaz.

To be honest, you are much more fluent than your companion. I've had enough of his crappy pronunciation. The mermaid complained.

In the ensuing exchange, Roger also figured out what happened. Just like Geralt said, all this is a conspiracy.

In the agreement many years ago, this sea area belonged to the mermaid, and if Duke Agroval wanted to expand his industry, the mermaid was an obstacle he had to bypass.

So he needs a reason to start a war with the king. For countless years, humans have driven the elves from the city to the depths of the forest, and they have become the masters of this world.

It can be said that apart from the ocean, there are few areas in the world that humans have not set foot in, but this will not make people feel satisfied, but will breed greater desire.

But actually the ocean is different from the land, there are so many unknown places there, even during the time when the elves ruled, they rarely set foot.

If war does start, it is bound to be a massacre.

I finally explained it clearly. Geralt let out a long breath. The two days of communication made him burnt out. The mermaid's language is extremely complicated, and he is not proficient in it. Some are less focused.

It's just a misunderstanding, let's leave, we will talk to the Duke personally.

Despicable guy, this matter can't be left alone, I want to teach him a lesson!

The mermaid looked angry, I will go with you to meet the so-called duke, and then make him pay for it!

Alright. Roger nodded, and then helped the shirtless Geralt onto the boat.

So shall we go now?

Wait a minute, you can change to a slightly larger boat. The mermaid waved her hand, and her chest rose and fell. Dandelion stared and said nothing, and after a while, he opened his mouth wide.

Crash.

The water surface broke, and the mermaid was swimming underwater, and then a wooden boat soaked in seawater moisture broke out of the water.

Although it is not a luxurious big ship, it is at least much stronger than the small boat driven by Roger and the others.

The water on the deck was drained, and the wooden boat stopped firmly on the sea. Roger whistled and said a joke that no one else could understand.

The Flying Dutchman...

Everyone boarded the boat again, no need to send people to paddle, there was a mermaid pushing under the water, the sea breeze rushed in, and the steep dragon tooth reef became no different from the ordinary sea surface.

The speed of going back was much faster than when they came. Just after noon, everyone's wooden boat left Longtooth Reef and returned to the nearby waters.

But this time they were not far ahead, and several large ships were coming towards them in sight. Roger frowned, and Dandry let out a strange cry.

He saw the crest belonging to the duke's family on the flag of the opposite ship.

Why is he here?

Waiting for us to go back?

Geralt had already dressed at this time, put his weapon back on his back, and let out a low mocking sound in his throat, It seems that the Duke is more thoughtful than we imagined, and he must find us in person before he will give up!

Is he going to kill us? Ashe looked nervous. In the poetess' adventurous career, similar situations were obviously not included.

Don't worry. Roger comforted everyone.

The speed of the two sides is very fast, and the distance is gradually shortened until each other can clearly see each other's appearance.

Sure enough, the one standing at the forefront of the deck was the Duke of Agroval.

Demon hunter, how is your mission going?

The duke is sharp-eyed,

Then his eyes moved away from Geralt and fell on Roger.

There are many people who can testify that you have captured my dear Zelister, so can you tell me where he is now?

There is no such thing as a monster, it's all your trap! Geralt shouted.

Hey, it's no wonder your reputation is so bad, so that's how you complete your mission. The Duke sneered.

Okay, count me as blind, let Zelister come over, I will pay half of your salary, and then let me go as far as I can!

Zerist was killed by a monster.

Monster?! The Duke put on an exaggerated expression, But demon hunter, you just told me that there are no monsters. Is there something wrong with my ears, or...

You filthy bastards murdered my political officer!

Wow!

At this moment, a water column rose into the sky, and at the top of the water column, the figure of the mermaid emerged.

Look, it's a mermaid!!

Look at her skin is green!

And those two lumps on his chest!!

God, I swear, that's the most perfect thing I've ever seen!

There was a series of noises on the deck, and the Duke's personal guards all stared wide-eyed and chattered.

Even the Duke changed his previous seriousness and stared at the mermaid intently.

Please convey my anger for me! said the mermaid to Roger.

Tell them who I am!

Even in a state of anger, the mermaid's voice was extremely pleasant, but the duke didn't give Roger a chance to repeat it.

He raised his hand violently, and the guards around him got the order, and they strung up their bows one after another. They held strong crossbows and firmly locked on Roger and the others.

So you actually colluded with them!! The Duke made a look of anger.

This is the human sea, leave here immediately, or I will take your actions as a provocation!

Dandrian jumped up angrily, but wisely he didn't move forward, but hid behind Roger and cursed.

What did he say? Even if she couldn't understand the Duke's words, the mermaid knew what it meant by watching his actions.

Roger turned his head and repeated the Duke's words. After a while, the water was rippling, and a dozen figures emerged from the water.

Very well, tell that arrogant human, if he wants war, then I will give it to him!!

Both sides are ready, and the battle is imminent.

At this moment, Roger turned around and looked at Hiennaz, Don't worry, there will be no war, because the grievances between me and him have not been resolved yet.

But at this time the Duke spoke again, but the object of his speech was no longer Roger and the others, but Ashe who was hiding behind everyone.

It's really heartbreaking, beautiful Miss Ashe, I have sent invitations to you several times, but you trampled on my heart without hesitation.

But now I am willing to give you one last chance to leave them and come to my ship. You are still my respected guest and can continue to attend the banquet in a few days.

Even the conditions I promised you before will not change.

It's a pity. If those two demon hunters went on the mission together, today's situation would not have happened.

The duke's eyes were dark, and there seemed to be a hungry wolf hidden in his eyes.
