God-level Demon Hunter

Roy is full of expectations for this.

Chapter 5 Tavern and Gwent

In Kaye Village at night, [-]% of the villagers' houses turned off the lights, the men slept with their wives in their arms, and the children looked at the sky outside the window and counted the sheep.Night watchman Thompson held a torch and wore a rusty steel sword and began to patrol along the entire village, driving away possible invading beasts, bandits, or warning in advance.

The only brightly lit places are the village chief's house and the dilapidated tavern in the middle of the village—the old captain's tavern.

Occasionally, energetic men who have not yet married and had children come here to spend time, drink a little wine, and when they are in the mood, they call the bearded, one-eyed Jack, the tavern owner who loves to brag about Skelly's career at sea when he was young, and play a game. Play Quint.

In the old captain's tavern, under the light of candlelight and fireplace, there were five or six figures sitting sporadically.

Roy stood in front of the Gwent chessboard, looking at the pile of exquisite cards with bright eyes.

These are the real deal Quint!

Gwent was originally invented by dwarves who were bored to pass the time, but with its simple rules, varied and interesting gameplay, it soon conquered everyone.No matter the aristocrats or ordinary people like to enjoy a few hands after dinner.

Quint's card face borrowed the image of a popular legendary figure in the folk.

For example, Emhyr the Great of Nilfgaard, King Foltest of Temeria, King Demavi of Aedirn with a crown on his head, Meve, the beautiful queen of Leiria and Rivia...

Every piece of Gwent is carefully manufactured by the dwarves using superb skills. The illustrations and materials are impeccable, and it is basically impossible to forge.There are even more cherished ones, made by dwarf masters, which can be called miniature works of art.

Ordinary Gwent is priced at one or two kronor, and you can buy a few more or less in grocery stores everywhere, while some rare cards can buy a house in Vangerburg, the capital of Aden, but few Collectors are willing to sell.

However, Roy observed for a long time, and the Nilfgaard, Northern Territory, and Skellige decks all appeared in the game, but he didn't see a single monster card or Scoia'tael card.All monster cards are rare, and Scoia'taela...

In the current timeline, the Northern War has not yet begun, and the Scoia'tael, which helped Nilfgaard attack the humans in the north in the form of an assault group, has not yet shown its prominence, so naturally there is no Scoia'tael deck.

It is estimated that after the Northern War, the Scoia'tael deck will be expanded into the Gwent pool by a dwarf master.

"Little Roy, what are you doing here at the tavern without being home at night?" One-eyed Jack's big black-haired hand was about to fall on Roy's head, but the latter dodged deftly.

Roy smiled flatteringly, anyway, he is only 13 years old now, there is no shame in being cute, as long as it works, "Uncle Jack, I am waiting for Brandon, he promised to treat me to a taste of fruit wine tonight." In fact, he was trying to fulfill his promise , to teach Brandon a simple magic technique, which he learned from the Internet before time travel.

But now I have an idea to make money.Veteran players of The Witcher 3 are always unable to escape the fate of Quint's addiction.

One-eyed Jack showed an ugly smile on his weather-beaten, wrinkled old face, "That little fat man steals money from the house to drink every now and then, thankfully I mixed water into the fruit wine for him, otherwise old Fletcher would have died." You can smell alcohol in his mouth, and spank his ass, don't imitate him!" As he spoke, a gleam of light flashed in his single eye, and his men swiftly threw a pale white Quint onto the chessboard.

At the same time, his opponent's face also turned pale!

"Eat me a frost! The melee unit is one! Haha 35:20, old Ott, I won this round!"

"Clatter..." A pile of copper coins was stacked on Jack's table.

The face of the farmer on the opposite side was gloomy, "Tonight's luck is worse than Keweier's salted fish, so don't come!" Then he walked out of the door.

And Roy took advantage of the opportunity to fill the vacant seat, and stared at the one-eyed Jack.

"Sit somewhere else, my old buddy is coming soon, I must win him bankruptcy today, without leaving a pair of underpants!"

"Uncle Jack, I'm bored anyway, why don't I play with you as a warm-up before the game?"

Jack shook his head when he heard the words, "You have Quint?" A kid in his teens doesn't have the money to collect Quint.

"In the whole village, who doesn't know the name of Old Captain Jack, the Gwent collector? You have such a rich collection of Gwent cards, there must be duplicates, please, how about getting a pair out and lending me?" Roy put his hands together, Looking at him expectantly.

"Hey, where did that shy and cute little guy go? Why did the bricklayer in the village suddenly put a layer of cement on his face?" Jack sighed, raised his hand in a slap gesture, Finally, he seemed to remember something, and his movements slowed down.

"I owe you...I can borrow it from you, but old Jack won't beat Quint, who has no prizes. Let's agree first. If you lose, you have to clean the tavern once."

"What if I win?"

"Reward 1 crown."

"Didn't it cost 2 kroner a handful just now?"

Roy covered his mouth while Old Jack was blowing his beard and staring.

Soon, he got 35 Gwent cards from the Northern Territory, 31 of the most common unit cards with a combat power of no more than 6, four weather cards, and none of the cherished hero cards.

Quint's hand was full of texture, and the surface felt smoother than the girl's skin, making him a little reluctant to let go.

As for Quint in the hands of One-Eyed Jack, he knew nothing about it.

Soon the game started, and at some point, Brandon sneaked up to the table and watched with a strong man over 6 by 4 inches (1 meters) tall with dark red skin.

The two quietly observed the situation.

In the beginning, Roy moved slowly, Quint was slow to lose, and Jack folded his arms, casually, and shot like lightning.

As expected, Roy lost two games in a row.

As time passed, one after another, the situation was completely reversed.Jack stared at the chessboard intently, his moves became more and more difficult, and his face turned black ugly.

"Little bastard, you cheated!"

Half an hour later, Jack stood up with a roar, his tense facial muscles flushed red, and his whole body looked like an angry lion.

However, he was quickly pushed back into position by an arm covered in rock-hard muscles.

"Boss, I've been watching for you, and I guarantee that the young man didn't cheat!"

Pusig looked determined, but there was an unconcealable smile on the corner of his mouth.He would love to see this old boss who always wins him deflated!

Roy glanced gratefully at the strong man with red hair and red face.

This guy is Pusig, a blacksmith who lives in Kaye Village and repairs farm tools for the villagers.Roy had heard that Pussig had once been a sailor on the One-Eyed Jack ship, and the two ran a cargo ship together in the Skellige Islands. After Jack retired, he followed him to the countryside of Aedirn to settle down.But he is not a local, but grew up well in Skelly, and has a very straightforward and courageous personality.

"Little Roy, you should thank the horse that bumped you!" Pusig patted him on the head, "You used to be like a delicate little girl, but now you finally have a bit of a manliness."

……

Speaking of Quint, half an hour, a total of eight games, one-eyed Jack lost five games, and Roy piled up a "huge sum" of five crowns on his desk, which would take more than a month to earn as an apprentice.

"It's unbelievable, the great Goddess Melitelli, you favor this brat so much? My hand is two levels better than his, and I can lose five hands. This is no longer explained by strength."

One-eyed Jack was still not reconciled, and stared at Roy viciously. The latter wiped off the cold sweat that didn't exist, and wondered if he was too hasty.

He is indeed cheating, still using the storage space.Every time the ghost hides two weather cards in the space first without anyone noticing, Quint sees the timing in the process and then quietly replaces the cards in his hand.It is quite cool to freeze the combat power accumulated by the opponent through hard work.

"I'm lucky!" Roy tried his best to control his tone, "No one in the Quint field is more favored by the goddess of luck than me."

"Damn it!" Jack slammed the entire wall, "If it wasn't for that nasty female thief, Sasha, who stole my 'Mysterious Elf' a few days ago, you wouldn't be able to beat me at all!"

Salsa?

Roy was obviously taken aback when he heard the name. He suspected that he had come into contact with this character while playing games, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

At this time, the fat little Brandon rolled his eyes and said loudly, "Sasha, is that the woman who bumped into Roy on horseback last time?"

When One-eyed Jack heard this, he suddenly died down, "Forget it, if I hadn't chased that woman, she wouldn't have run into Roy in a panic. I don't care about what happened today with you."

Roy suddenly realized, no wonder Jack said he owed him at the beginning and agreed to lend him Quint.The source is that the rare Quint collected by One-Eyed Jack attracted female thieves, which led to him being hit by a horse and assimilated.

"Little Roy, at this time tomorrow, if you continue to play with me, I don't believe that you have been lucky. Sooner or later, we will catch evidence of your cheating!"

Roy readily agreed and earned 5 crowns in just half an hour. He has no reason to let go of the big guy who came to his door.This old captain, Quint addict, is no less than those dwarves who have lost their fortunes.

Brandon also joined in the fun and grabbed his sleeve, "Roy, Roy, teach me how to juggle." As he said, he took out a handful of fragrant and sweet yellow snacks from his pocket and stuffed them into it. In Roy's mouth.

"Hmm... this is lard residue, is it delicious?"

"Every time Fletcher kills a pig, he boils some oil residue for snacks. You teach me tricks, and I bring you snacks every day."

Looking at Brandon's naive and childish fat face, Roy smiled, and couldn't help but reach out and smooth a hair on top of his head.

"Let's get started, I'll go back to sleep later."

Chapter 6 New skills and upgrades

The peaceful days passed like water, and nearly a month passed. The busy work of the butcher apprentice and the Quint competition in the tavern every night were carried out in an orderly manner. Roy gradually gained a firm foothold in this familiar yet unfamiliar small village .

A month later, he saved 60 crowns, most of which were obtained from the old captain Jack and the blacksmith Psig.This amount of money was enough to pay for traveling to big cities such as Van Gerberg, but the two of them had already taken precautions against him, so they didn't easily play Quint with him, and the windfall won them all.

During this period of time, Roy often talked about his hometown Skellige with the village blacksmith Pusig. He deliberately made connections, and then spent [-] kronor to purchase a dagger and a knife from him in the name of self-defense. Pocket hand crossbow——Gabriel, named after Verdon's caster, has a small gray crossbow body, can be held with one hand, and comes with twenty wooden crossbow arrows.

Another local blacksmith in Aden would never sell Gabriel to a boy and a half, but in the simple concept of Pussig, who grew up outstandingly in Skelley, in the chaotic world, boys should prepare some self-defense weapons since childhood.Children under the age of ten in the archipelago began to dance with swords, not to mention Roy was so appetizing to him.

……

Different from the crossbow that can be found casually in the game, the power of the hand crossbow in the real world is huge. Although this Gabriel has an old structure, short range, and slow arrow loading, it is easy to operate and does not require much shooting skills. Children and old people with little strength can also cause damage to elite soldiers as long as they hold it firmly and shoot accurately.

For a half-grown boy like Roy whose physical attributes are lower than those of an adult and has no combat skills, the hand crossbow is undoubtedly the most cost-effective choice, more suitable than a melee weapon. His 5-point perception attribute is not weaker than that of an adult. The field of vision is also wide enough.

Roy put the dagger and this big killer into the space.

This storage space is extremely convenient, except that living things cannot be loaded, and there is only a volume limit for the loaded objects.He only needs to move his mind every time, and he can collect the items in an instant.

……

In the early morning, the dew covered the messy weeds on the side of the small road in the village. When Roy met a villager who was out farming, he waved and said hello, but most of the villagers ignored him.

In the hearts of traditional Kaye villagers, farmers' children should inherit their father's career.He cultivated his own crops honestly, but Roy learned the skills of slaughtering cattle and sheep from the butcher, went to the tavern at night to fool around, and made friends with the savages who immigrated from the Skelliger Islands.

The combination of various behaviors will inevitably attract criticism and jealousy from others.

If it were the original Roy, he would probably be said to be autistic, but now he doesn't care too much.

According to his plan, after he was promoted to the first level, he would take his hand crossbow and weapons to explore the wilderness outside the village after his apprenticeship work, hunt some small animals, and sell the flesh for some crowns.

In the remote countryside, there is no so-called hunting right.

After the level has risen to a certain level and he has a certain amount of self-preservation power and saved some money, he will find a way to take Old Moore and Susie away from Kaye and settle in Novigrad. After his parents are properly settled, he can Feel free to chase power and explore this fantasy world.

He has a lot of information in his head:

Arethusa Wizarding Academy, which specializes in training female sorceresses, is located on Thaned Island in the territory of Gos Velen, and Ben Ard Wizarding Academy, which only accepts male apprentices, is located in the Kingdom of Kaedwen. The base Kaer Morhen is hidden in the blue mountains east of Kaedwen, where old Vesemir lives...

These are all on the schedule and will come true sooner or later

Today he's taking one small step on his journey - just kill one more livestock and he'll level up!

After a month of scolding and guidance from the butcher, and bloody and sweaty work, the attributes in the template quietly changed a little:

Note: This skill will be upgraded with the type and quantity of creatures you kill. )

Storage space: 1 cubic

Other: unknown

Experience Points: 98/100

……

After a month of high-intensity exercise and sufficient oil and water, Roy's strength, physique, and agility have all improved. His delicate face under the black hair is no longer pale, and it is healthy and rosy. His body is obviously stronger than a month ago , although it still looks very thin, it will no longer give people a sense of weakness that will collapse when the wind blows.

Among the several attributes, willpower has improved the most... No matter who it is, working in a bloody, dirty and smelly environment for a month, after vomiting enough, the nerves will become hard.

The new passive skill... Roy felt a sense of evil from it. Although the current skill probability and damage increase are only [-]%, which is better than nothing, don't forget that it's only level one.It can be strengthened through killing, and can also be strengthened with skill points after the personal level is improved.

Obtained under the butcher's teaching, and upgraded through continuous killing, then this skill is named - Roy thought of it, and the words "unnamed" in the skill became "slaughter".
