God-level Demon Hunter
Page 16
Lesso's smooth face was actually covered with black twisted blood vessels.
"Ah!" Sewell groaned strangely, wrinkled his rough face showing worry and panic, "Is Your Excellency Lei Suo's face injured, is he cursed by Him?"
Roy lowered his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty Sewell, don't worry, the vision on the face is just a side effect of the demon hunter drinking the potion. This devil is not Lei Suo's opponent!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of scorching sparks shot out from behind the group of wine barrels that covered the figures of the demon hunter and the devil. The sparks were as beautiful as meteors and fireworks, but the extremely high temperature scorched the surrounding air and began to distort. The torches in the depths of the cellar became less clear.
"The Seal of Agni, Leto is going to do his best!" Roy cast a reassuring look at the dwarf, who stared in that direction full of expectation for a moment, and then thought of something, with a thick bitterness on the face of the bearded man , just like the voice of a boudoir resentful woman, if there is nothing,
"Master Leto... Be careful with my wine... It's 50-year-old dwarven spirits!"
"Whoo, whoosh, whoosh..." Lei Suo's figure jumped into the sight of the two of them again, but it was just a reflection on the wall under the lighting.
The dark reflection of the demon hunter jumped up and down, pounced towards the depths of the darkness, and swung the two slender daggers in his hands, making countless afterimages, like the fangs of a viper, nimble and deadly!
What followed was a series of sharp and ferocious screams like a file, and each call was like a drumbeat beating on the tip of Sewell's heart, making his face tremble constantly!
But soon the strange howling changed its tone, becoming sad and painful, which made the dwarf subconsciously think of a wild dog with its tail between its legs!
"The outcome has been decided!" Roy made his final judgment with confidence, and almost at the same time, a strange reflection fell on the wall.
It was a guy with slender limbs that looked like dead tree branches. Its figure was so tall that it almost reached the ceiling of the cellar. It had the most basic human shape, but its head was a triangular cone with countless twisted and circling antlers standing on it.
At this time, Roy also showed a surprised expression for the first time. Looking in that direction, thoughts raced through his mind.
Ignis Fatus in the depths of the mist, the voodoo doll of the swamp witch, the elves and deer-headed monsters in the primeval woods are not enough to describe its weirdness, it is illusory, and its body is still constantly shaking Changes, twists, shakes, reminiscent of wind blowing branches and leaves rustling.
Just a few seconds seemed as long as a century. Its weird shadow let out a long scream in the direction of the witcher behind the cover of the wine barrel, and then its body made the last tremor and collapsed to the ground like an ice sculpture melting!
"Huh..." Sewell, who witnessed this scene, let out a long sigh of relief, and his slightly hunched back quietly straightened, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden, exuding a strange look.
"It's over!" He foolishly showed a reassuring smile.
Sure enough, within a short while, the demon hunter Lei Suo walked out of the shadow deep in the wine cellar with the pace of "Tap, tap, tap."
Chapter 13 Deny
Lei Suo showed a faint tiredness, and some fine scratches on his muscular body were clearly visible.
"Him is dead." After speaking, he stretched out his hand towards the dwarf, revealing a cloud of gray powder in his thick palm, which was still emitting a faint smell of fishy heat.
Roy on the side sniffed the familiar scent, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, with an unexpected expression.
"Master Lei Suo, I am very grateful!" The dwarf held a handful of Sim's remains and clenched his fists tightly as if venting, his eyes were flushed, and this time he completely let go of his hanging heart.
The demon hunter in front of him was really powerful beyond imagination, as long as he recalled the fierce fighting situation just now, he couldn't help but get chills down his back.
But there was no doubt that the horror that had plagued him for months was finally dead.
Freed!
He happily threw the ashes into the air, and impatiently took out a money note from his pocket in front of Lei Suo, and presented it to Lei Suo gratefully. "This is the promised remuneration, which can be fulfilled in any Vivaldi, Giancardi, or Zion Vanelli bank."
Lei Suo glanced at the number on it, and put it close to his body. He knew that these dwarf banks had branches in almost all big cities.
"Master Demon Hunter, Roy, the dwarves have been secretly supporting the Revolutionary Army all along, and it is said that it is also to balance Edsberg's power. Both civilians and businessmen can get the greatest benefit from it. If this secret is leaked, everyone We all know that the revolutionary leader Vernon Ryan died in the dwarf's wine cellar, then the Mahakam dwarves will automatically be labeled as the baron's power. The balance will be broken, so please be sure to keep the secret for me."
"Of course," Lei Suo said in a deep voice, "I will not tarnish the honor of Viper Academy."
"I promise too."
At this moment, the dwarf bowed solemnly to the two.
"The kindness of the two of you, I will keep it in my heart. From now on, I will be the guest of Sewell, and you are welcome to visit me at any time! Let's not talk about other things, it's not too early, please allow me to entertain you again, and have lunch in the mansion. "
"Mr. Sewell is serious. This is just a fair entrustment. You will also pay for it, and you will get both money and goods." Lei Suo did not accept the dwarf's flattery, "But of course there is no problem to have another meal."
……
Back in the lobby, taking advantage of Sewell's departure, Roy looked the demon hunter up and down with novel eyes, as if he had re-acquainted with this bald man, until his poker face, which had never changed for thousands of years, was also seen. Slightly sullen, he asked in a low voice, "Is there really a devil in the wine cellar?"
Lei Suo returned a surprised look, "What do you think?"
"Him's ashes are actually pterodactyl feces. I've smelled that smell for several nights and I can never mistake it."
Roy was [-]% sure that the so-called shim wreckage that Lei Suo gave to the dwarves just now was the same thing as the pterodactyl feces that Lei Suo slept in the wilderness to drive away wild animals a few days ago.
"He wants to get rid of the devil in exchange for peace of mind, so isn't it fair that I create a devil for him?"
"If you can't find the devil, he will never feel at ease." Leso paused, "When you get older, you will naturally understand that the negative emotions in people's hearts are sometimes more terrifying than monsters."
"At least, now that we have successfully completed the commission, from now on, Xavier Hogg should be able to sleep peacefully."
Lei Suo looked at the brightly lit ceiling with an inexplicable sigh in his tone.
Getting rid of this unnecessary Him can really make him sleep peacefully?Roy was quite suspicious.However, as a master demon hunter who has been there, he has more experience and more accurate judgments.
"I still have a question, how did you get that Sim's reflection, even I was almost bluffed."
Hearing his question, the big man quietly stretched out his hands, his calloused fingers intertwined and dancing under the candlelight, as flexible as a cheerful butterfly.
"Leso, when you don't become a demon hunter in the future, you can try it and go to the theater to make a living with your acting skills."
……
In the magnificent banquet hall, three people are dining.
Sewell got rid of his confidant's serious troubles, and became a rare talker, talking about Mahakam's experiences and interesting stories incessantly.
Mahakam, the hometown of the dwarves, upholds the principle of neutrality and self-preservation no matter what stage of the Northern War, so it has been able to stand forever.
Neither Aedirn in the east of the mountains, Temeria in the west, nor Nilfgaard in the later northern expedition failed to gain any benefits from them.In addition to rich wine, Mahakam is rich in minerals. More than half of the mines, foundries, and forging factories in the north are located in Mahakam. There are many skilled craftsmen, and they produce the highest quality steel and weapons in the north.
And countries that try to encroach on the autonomy of the Mahakam dwarves will be retaliated by them, and they will no longer be able to obtain any weapons and equipment from Mahakam.
Where is the mine, it is simply a golden mountain!
Fortunately, the dwarves' reproductive ability is far inferior to that of humans, and it takes a full 55 years to reach adulthood. If they want to spread their aggression outwards, they don't have the population base, so they live in Mahakam temporarily.
In this era, dwarves lived the most prosperous life among all non-human races.However, there are also dwarves who leave their hometowns, or join the Scoia'tael who are still hiding underground, start a business of killing and stealing goods, or go to human cities to engage in banking trade and foundry. Although they are despised by their compatriots, they may live well because of their talents.
Speaking of this, Sewell couldn't hide his pride and envy in his tone.
In the final analysis, his liquor agent power is far inferior to that of weapon ore agent.
The dwarves chatted together and talked for a long time. Occasionally, they would curiously ask about the life experience of the demon hunter, and then offered some flattering compliments.
As for why Roy knew the confidential news of the Scoia'tael Party, he only vaguely mentioned it. After finding out that the demon hunter looked familiar, he let it go.
The guests and hosts enjoyed a meal.
"Aim your weapons at your enemies, treat your friends with fine wine, and you two will have another drink with me!"
After drinking and eating, the dwarf walked up to him and pretended to hesitate for a moment, "Actually, I still have an unfeeling request."
"Isn't it for us to help you dispose of that corpse?" Roy casually mentioned it jokingly, but Sewell's eyes lit up and he followed his words, "As expected of Master Lei Suo's assistant, I am I mean it."
Help him transport the corpse of the leader of the Revolutionary Army?
Without even thinking about it, Roy shook his head desperately, complaining that he couldn't do this kind of work with his head tied to his belt after eating a dwarf's meal.
"I heard that the revolutionary army is preparing for a big parade this afternoon to force the baron to release this guy in your wine barrel."
Doing this now is tantamount to risking death.
The dwarf was not discouraged, but turned his gaze to Letho.
The demon hunter pondered for a second but spread his hands, "Sorry, this is not a commission that demon hunters are good at, and I really can't make this money. Leave the corpse to other people. Not to mention relying on Lord Sewell's means It shouldn't be difficult to transport a corpse out of the city, so we won't get involved."
The dwarf stroked his beard with a bitter expression on his face, "Although the baron's army has searched the mansion once, it is not guaranteed to come again. To be honest, I have been designated as a key surveillance target by the baron. As long as I leave the mansion, my every move will be difficult to escape." His eyeliner. What's more, I don't want the fourth person to know this secret. I can't trust them, so I can only entrust this matter to the two of you."
Roy suggested, "It's really not possible, you can find a place to burn the corpse on the spot."
The dwarf shook his head anxiously,
"Because of my unintentional mistake, Aken was killed. I am afraid that I will not feel at ease in the future if I desecrate the body of my best friend like this! I want to make up for it. It is best to return Aken's body to the revolutionary army! I'm involved."
"This is impossible!"
This time Lei Suo categorically refused and took the body of the boss back. Is this a demonstration or an insult?Even if the dangers in the transportation process and the mysterious whereabouts of the revolutionary army are ignored, how to get out of the hands of the revolutionary army is still a problem.
The dwarf with a big beard lowered his head with a low attitude.
Roy couldn't help but get goosebumps from the expectant look in his eyes, and then he rolled his eyes, and a plan came to his mind.
"Let me think about it, how big is the wine barrel for the corpse?"
Sewell gave the data without thinking. He has been in contact with the wine barrels in the wine cellar for decades, and he has long been familiar with their dimensions.
"Why, do you have an idea?"
The dwarf was very puzzled, even Master Leto was helpless, what would this ordinary boy do?
Roy pondered for a moment, then quickly calculated the volume of the wine barrel by relying on his mathematical knowledge in his previous life, and the storage space could barely accommodate it.
But he wasn't sure if it was appropriate to intervene in this matter, so he took another look at the bald man, who shook his head slightly at him.
"Sorry, Mr. Sewell, there is nothing I can do."
The dwarf couldn't hide his disappointment, "I won't force you two anymore, but if you change your mind, you are welcome to come again at any time. If you help me solve this problem in my heart, I will treat you two as brothers."
……
Chapter 14 Temporary Separation
"I know you have a lot of tricks, and you want to help Xavier Hogg deal with this difficult problem," Lei Suo persuaded Roy again after leaving the dwarf mansion, "but listen to me this time, don't get involved, hunter Demons should remain neutral and not intervene in any political struggles."
"This is the principle and the way of doing things and living."
Listening to the serious and serious lecture of the big man, Roy suddenly felt a little funny.
You must know that in the future, Lei Suo and the Oaks brothers broke this principle in person, assassinated the monarch of the northern kingdom, completed the political struggle with the highest degree of difficulty, and performed what is called a negative teaching material.
Even though the bald man in front of him still maintained his principles, Roy didn't think it was a good thing.
Perhaps this principle of neutrality is one of the reasons for the inevitable decline of the witcher school. When troubled times are approaching, who can stay out of it?
If he passed the trial of green grass, Roy thought, he would try his best to make some changes in the school, which could be regarded as "advancing with the times".
……
The afternoon sun, with the last touch of struggle in late autumn.
On the way from the wealthy district to the Walls Tavern, they happened to pass by the Square of the Prophet in Rebioda, and a wailing wailing made them stop.
According to the notice distributed by the Cloakers last night, those so-called people with lofty ideals should have gathered in the square for a parade. However, Roy passing by did not see the scene of crowds and crowds as he imagined, but a mess, just like his previous life After the tourist attractions were swarmed by crowds, they left rubbish all over the floor.
and a howling woman.
A middle-aged woman with disheveled hair and a disheveled dress is staring blankly at the sky, her pupils are out of focus, her well-maintained face is flushed from crying, and her makeup is blurred by tears, making her look comical Poor again.
At this moment, the lady fell to the ground like a lunatic, patted the shoulders of a man leaning on her lap with both hands, and kept muttering and muttering in her mouth.
Several passing residents pointed at the side, with both pity and schadenfreude in their words.
"The soldier is really good at it. The black shield, just smashed on that guy's head, the bones are broken."
"Participating in the parade, confronting the baron openly, isn't this a way of killing yourself? Others run so fast, but that guy refuses to slip away!"
"I didn't see that such an honest guy would have the guts to join the rebel army..."
"Don't make sarcastic remarks. He was very good to everyone when he was alive. Besides, without the rebels, will our taxes be lowered? Everyone is dead, so show me some respect!"
"Poor woman, lost her husband and no children, how can she live?"
Roy's eyes turned around on the face of the motionless man, he was a little afraid to look at the woman's desperate and dazed eyes.
"It's a pity... I became the cannon fodder of the revolutionary army, and I don't know who will benefit from leaving behind a widow!"
There was no emotion on Lei Suo's face, "put away your sympathy, haven't you seen enough corpses outside the city? Political matters have nothing to do with you and me, let's go, there are still some things to explain when we go back to the tavern."
When the two left the square, a man pushing a wheelbarrow arrived late and carried away the body amidst the lady's wailing.
Back in the tavern room, Lesso took out a money bag and put it on the table.
"This commission can't be done without your help. According to the principle of the witcher, you have a share of the reward, 50 crowns, no more, no less."
"Do you want to split the money again?" Roy was shocked by this sudden surprise. In the whole commission, Lei Suo is the absolute protagonist, and he is at best a passerby.
"Forget it, you can keep it. We don't need to be so clear." Ever since he followed Lei Suo on the road, the demon hunter has been responsible for all expenses. In addition to playing Gwent cards in the tavern for two days, he won about 120 crowns. There are a total of [-] crowns in the small treasury and there is no shortage of money for the time being.
"I said this is a matter of principle. The spoils of war must be distributed fairly." Lei Suo stared at him without batting an eyelid, "And, I am now officially informing you that from tomorrow onwards, all your board and lodging expenses will be paid for by yourself. I don't I'll pay you another penny."
"Are you kidding?" Roy's face froze... No wonder the demon hunter divided the money so readily before, so he was thinking of this idea.He didn't understand why?
