God-level Demon Hunter
Page 12
……
In the early morning of the next day, the two left the wilderness and embarked on the trail leading to Edsberg.
The impressions of wheels and the footprints of horseshoes can be seen everywhere on the trail, with dense forests on both sides. As the morning wind hits, the branches and leaves tremble, bringing a scent of mixed soil and plants in the forest.
The wind was getting stronger, the big man seemed to have received some kind of signal, he stopped suddenly and reined in the reins, squatted down and touched the traces of the ground with his fingers, then looked up at the empty front, his amber pupils flashed Be wary.
"Roy, get your hand crossbow ready to fight!"
It has been calm all the time, why did something go wrong in the last section of the road?
Roy pressed the bowstring made of beef tendon, and quickly pulled the string to set the arrow.There were not too many turmoil in his heart, and he didn't know if it was the effect of meditation, or the stalwart figure in front of him gave him confidence.
The two continued to walk forward, Roy quietly pricked up his ears, and his whole body gradually tensed up.
But two hundred years later, Lei Suo stopped again, and the strong wind blew the black cloth on his shoulders flying backwards.
"call out--"
A sharp whistle pierced through the woods, and almost at the same time, a group of ragged men with dry yellow faces rushed out along the grass on both sides.
Farmers, or what kind of motley army?
They were dressed in tatters and looked extremely poor, and even the weapons in their hands were slightly ridiculous shovels, hammers, and even pitchforks.
Their formation was disorganized, and they shouted in disorder, encircling the two of them in the center, with an extremely hungry and ferocious look on their faces.
Then a middle-aged man with a green leather hat on his head, a yellow jacket, black trousers, and a mole on his face came out.
Hold your head high and hold your toes high, like a big rooster showing off its majestic figure.
"Drop your weapons and get down on the ground!" he ordered.
Roy held the hand crossbow in both hands according to the training, and counted secretly. There were about 13 people in the gang surrounding them.
The big man seemed to have not heard the other party's words, and crossed his arms and asked in a neutral manner, "The peasants rebelled against the army, why did they become robbers?"
After listening to Roy, he was thoughtful, the peasant rebel army, the revolutionary army, right?He had heard rumors in Kaye Village that Edsberg was having a peasant revolution?Could it be that the group of people in front of them seemed to have been beaten to death.
"Fart! What is a robber? Are you slandering?" The leading man blushed and shouted righteously, "We are for the great revolution, to overthrow the tyranny of Demavi and Tavik! This is justice If you are righteous people, please lay down your weapons and donate your property to support this righteous act. If you resist, you will be executioners with the tyrant, and accept the sanctions of the revolutionary army brothers honestly!"
Roy's cheeks twitched when he heard it. He had never seen such a shameless person who called the robbery a righteous act, but the self-protected rebels became villains.
Only people in the west can be so brazen.
Lesso frowned. In his long memory, there were very few people who dared to steal money from demon hunters.
In the past, he might have rushed forward without saying a word, but now that there are many people around him, it seems inappropriate to kill directly.
Lei Suo pinched the pendant around his neck and showed it to everyone in front of him.
"Do you know what this is?"
There was a hint of greed in the leader's eyes, "Is this made of silver? Throw it here!"
"Boss, he...he's a witcher!" A skinny farmer with a long chin suddenly pointed at Lei Suo, with a look of panic on his face, and stammered.
"What? This person is a freak, a mutant?!"
"Look at his eyes, amber, cat's eyes!" A group of farmers took a step back at the same time when they heard the words. Roy's eyes twitched. He didn't expect the word "witcher" to be so deterrent. .
"Boss, a demon hunter can kill even monsters, we are no match for him!" Another farmer said tremblingly.
"What are you afraid of!" Seeing how cowardly and cowardly his subordinates were, the leader shouted angrily, his face flushed, "they only have a demon hunter and a child."
"What are we afraid of with so many people?!" The leader took two steps back, and said sternly, "If you all go up together, I don't believe that they have three heads and six arms. One person will poke holes into them."
"Yes, what are you afraid of?!" The farmers seemed to have found the backbone, and raised their hammers, forks, and shovels again, and pointed at the two people in the encirclement, but no one did it first.
"One last word, lay down your weapons!"
"Then let people be slaughtered by you?" Lei Suo lowered his face and shook his head. Seeing this, Roy slowly walked behind him. He was not a demon hunter. For the sake of safety, he let the big man stand in front.
"I smell a strong smell of blood from your bodies. You have done a lot of killing and stealing goods." Lei Suo said in a deep voice, his tone was dry and without any emotion.
"Bastards, it's because they resisted, and they deserve it!" The leader was still quibbling, "For the sake of a great revolution, sometimes sacrifice is unavoidable!"
Lei Suo finally stopped talking, and the five fingers of his right hand were flexible like a snake, and before everyone could react, he outlined a sign.
A triangular red light shot into the eyes of the leader in an instant.
Then there was a terrifying scream in the field. A farmer clutched his abdomen tightly and stumbled back step by step, his face full of disbelief.
And just opposite him, wearing a green leather hat, the high-spirited leader, with dull eyes, is holding a bloody long sword like a puppet.
"Ah... the boss is under the control of a demon hunter!"
"Lille was killed by the boss!"
Under the horrified eyes of the farmers, Lei Suo slowly pulled out the steel sword behind him instead of the usual two-handed dagger.
A cold light shone from the broad sword body.
Like a savage predator, the witcher leaps forward and charges into the flock!
Regardless of strength, reaction, or combat skills and experience, the crappy farmers in front of them can't even compare to Lei Suo's fraction. Lei Suo turned into a humanoid meat grinder, broken arms and thighs, flying pieces of meat, The blood splashed everywhere stained Roy's eyes red.
On a narrow forest path.
Every time the sword light swayed, it was an exclamation, a life.
The frightened farmers fled desperately, but how could they escape the demon hunters of the Viper School who were known for their agility.All I could hear were continuous wails and begging for mercy from the woods.
Roy was stunned. He had killed many animals, but they were all domestic animals. He had never killed a human being.
But now a group of people were massacred one by one without any resistance. No matter how desperate and howling these peasants were, the cold-faced Lei Suo was completely indifferent and just waved the steel sword stubbornly.
He did not use the potion seal, purely by instinct.
Is this the guy who taught him herbal medicine, crossbow shooting skills, and hypnotized meditation every night?
Perhaps this is the way a demon hunter behaves... He can hunt and kill monsters that cause harm everywhere, but he is also merciless towards some human beings.
Roy held the hand crossbow, and began to inhale deeply, separated his feet, and hung his arms in the air, as if he had trained hundreds of times to take the standard posture of standing and shooting the crossbow.
One lucky guy stumbled and avoided Lei Suo, his face was covered with blood, his expression was half collapsed, half hopeful, and rushed towards him.
"Catch him, catch this kid, use him to blackmail the demon hunter, and he will survive."
He tilted half of his body, trying not to fall down, trying to maintain his balance, while the other hand tremblingly stretched forward and stretched out, as if trying to strangle the child's neck.
One step, two steps, you can catch him in no time!
"Whoosh-"
A sharp piercing sound sounded, and the farmer felt as if he had been hit head-on by a battering ram. His whole body was kicked back, and then he raised his head, stretched out his arms, fell limply backwards, and fell to the ground.
In the middle of his staring eyes, a crossbow arrow with tail feathers penetrated the skull.
Get EXP 20, Lv2 (300/1000)
Roy exhaled half of the breath in his mouth, continued to inhale, and used his hands and feet to string the arrow, aiming at the other side.
……
After 10 minutes, the merciless killing was completely over.
Lei Suo took out a blue cloth and slowly wiped the blood on the steel sword.
And Roy sat beside him with a blank face, with blood still stained on his black hair and skirt.
"Huh—" After an unknown period of time, he suddenly took a deep breath.
Lesso said coldly, "Have you seen this terrible world now? There is no right or wrong. If we don't kill them all and let any one escape back to Edsberg, our next road will be difficult."
Seeing that Roy was still in a daze, he sighed,
"I smell a strong smell of human blood from them. This group of people is not a kind person. They have done a lot of robbery and murder. Do you feel better now?"
"I'm fine, I'm just a little unaccustomed." Roy said sincerely, without pity for this group of people at all.Otherwise, who would pity the innocent souls who died under their hands?
Reso praised,
"Also, your few arrows just now were good, and you haven't forgotten what I taught you."
Roy shot and killed three farmers who were fleeing with injuries.
He kept in mind the breathing rhythm when firing, and pulled the trigger at the moment when the exhalation was about to become heavier. He shot very steadily, and three arrows took away three lives.
In fact, he could kill more, but he hesitated in the end. For the first time to kill, he still couldn't be as hard-hearted as Lei Suo.
A life has 20 experience points, comparable to that of a water ghost.After three lives, the experience value grows to 340/1000.
Roy suddenly felt a little ridiculous. To a certain extent, all beings are equal to the template, which is just a cold statistic.
……
Not long after, the bodies of all the attackers were moved by the two to a large pit in the forest, and then Lesso poured some dog fat on them, and the Igni Sign ignited and burned them into coke.
So as not to nourish the plague and attract ghouls.
All the properties obtained by this group of robbers, close to 100 kronor, were also taken by Lei Suo.
With a lot of money and experience, the gains from killing this time are beyond imagination.But Roy doesn't want to have a next time.
"Little ghost, including the brain of the water ghost, you can almost share half of it." Surprisingly, the demon hunter gave Roy 50 crowns.
"Lesson [-], the spoils must be distributed fairly." Leto said solemnly, "When you become a demon hunter in the future and don't want to turn against your partner, then never be blinded by greed."
Roy originally wanted to refuse, but he had an ominous premonition for no reason. It seemed that Lei Suo had other deep meanings in giving him the money.
Chapter 6 Edsberg
The huge city wall more than [-] feet high surrounded the last line of defense in the southern part of the Kingdom of Aden, the city of Edsberg.
With Leilia and Livia guarding the east, and the Mahakam Mountains, a natural protective belt to the west, Edsberg's easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain was a huge obstacle to the Northern Expedition of the Nilfgaardian army.
In front of this fortress, there is a man-made moat flowing, and a heavily guarded bridge on the river connects to the city.
People came and went on the bridge, farmers going to the market, wagons full of goods, and travelers from afar lined up for inspection, and in the vast wilderness behind them, dotted around to provide supplies for Edsberg dozens of small villages.
"Snake Demon Hunter Reso?"
"Correct."
"Be honest with me after entering the city. The recent rebel incident has been annoying enough. Don't make any more trouble, understand?" The chest of the armor is inlaid with a red and yellow coat of arms directly superimposed at two right angles.
Resembling a flaming arrowhead, it is the emblem of the Kingdom of Aedirn.
After checking the pass in the big man's hand, the soldier turned his gaze to the thin figure behind him, "Is this child with you?"
"Correct."
"Who is he from you?"
"His name is Roy. He is my employer. He is from the lower Posada Kaye village. He is visiting relatives in Edsberg."
"Hmm..." Maybe it was Roy's handsome face and thin body that didn't seem too threatening, and the soldiers didn't ask too much to let him go.
Roy, a child from the countryside, entered the big city of Edsberg in another world for the first time. Now the revolutionary forces are in full swing, but it has not affected its original prosperity and hustle and bustle.
Behind the tall city gate was a bustling commercial street. The ears of the two were filled with all kinds of yelling, and there were all kinds of shops in front of them, and the endless stream of people passed by.
The shortest houses here are taller and more luxurious than the village chief's house in Kaye Village, generally with pointed arches, carved windows, and tall and large circular domes.
There are many complex and changeable curved patterns on the wall, which are exquisite like works of art.
Roy, who had gotten used to the quiet atmosphere in the wilderness, was suddenly lost in thought. He felt like he had come to post-Renaissance Europe.
It's a pity that in the first Northern War, the city of Edsberg will be invaded by the Nilfgaardian army. How much of this grand scene can be preserved?
Lei Suo shook his head, thinking that he was shocked by the prosperity of the big city.
The two of them walked through the street behind the city gate, their vision widened a lot in vain, and then their eyes lit up.
In the middle of the road paved with bluestone slabs, a small fountain square appeared.
On the stone platform in the center of the fountain stood a seven-foot-tall statue—an old man dressed in simple cloth, with wise eyes and a bushy beard.
Surrounded by a crowd of chattering people, most of them held books and seemed to be discussing academic issues. They were dressed much more luxuriously than ordinary citizens, with hats and many exquisite accessories on their bodies. Even the shoes under their feet were carefully taken care of and spotless.
Nearby, teams of heavily armed soldiers patrolled past.
"Who is this statue?"
"This is the Prophet Lebioda, representing extensive wisdom. He has many believers in Edsberg." Lei Suo interjected without emotion, "Most of the people gathered here are businessmen and The heir of a minor noble. The real commoner is still working hard to make a living."
