God-level Demon Hunter

"Kelvin, what did I tell you before?"

Amidst the faint voice of questioning, the white-haired dwarf who was originally proud and arrogant lowered his head without saying a word, as if acquiescing to the witcher's accusation.

"Forget it, I know you don't like dealing with human beings, but it is a big taboo to substitute personal emotions in official business. Now you apologize to the two distinguished guests immediately!"

The white-haired Kelvin took a deep breath, clenched his fists tightly and reluctantly bowed to the two.

"It's all my fault for being too indulgent with this nephew, but he is not yet 60 years old. According to human beings, he has just reached adulthood not long ago. I hope the two of you can understand and understand."

He said reproachful words, but his tone did not hide his pampering at all.

Roy turned his eyes between the two, and found that the Great Elder Broval and his nephew Kelvin looked quite alike, with white beard and hair, and facial features, especially the haughty look between the eyebrows and eyes. carved out of the mold.

When Lei Suo saw that it was good, he turned around and said, "Your Excellency, let's talk about the business now? What are you calling us to Carbon Mountain in a hurry? You must know that what the witcher is good at is talking with others. Dealing with monsters, the Carbon Mountain under your jurisdiction is heavily guarded, not a single fly can fly in, it doesn’t look like it’s being infested by monsters.”

"Then you guessed wrong, demon hunter. If you are in the fortress, you will naturally not be threatened by monsters." Brovar said in a deep voice, "but the mines in the mountains outside the fortress, in recent months Workers are dying one after another, and I specially invite you to come here, just hoping to catch the murderer, regardless of life or death.”

The two people in the audience looked at each other, both a little surprised,

"Isn't it just that the villagers of Spangsol asked us to do it? It's really a blessing, not a disaster...Even if you can escape the New Year, you can't escape the winter solstice." Roy still has some doubts in his heart, the noble dwarf elder should do it for such a group of humans down the mountain , a group of alien races, worked hard to 'invite' the demon hunter to the front, and personally intervene?

Broval saw their doubts, and a look of anger appeared on his old and slack cheeks, and he gave the answer, "That murderer is so bold that he not only killed human miners, but also extended his demons to my compatriots. This is undoubtedly against me. A provocation, a provocation to all Mahakam dwarves!"

"The murderer must die!"

"I see." Roy suddenly realized.It seems that the villagers at the foot of the mountain didn't seem to know the inside story. In fact, not only four human miners died, but the "Master of the Mountain" they called were also killed.

"Demon hunter Lei Suo, if you can catch the murderer for the people of Carbon Mountain, I will reward you!"

"Then if you can't catch it?"

"Wherever you come and go, Mahakam will always close the door to you two."

Roy bared his teeth, the witcher's face turned livid, and Broval suddenly stood up from the throne with the armrests in place, and said loudly,

"Let me be more specific. It's the so-called 'swords given to heroes'. I have personally forged more weapons than can be counted, and some of them are unowned. As long as you capture the murderer, I will immediately hand over one of the rare swords to you." Now, I'm sure you won't dishonor the title of the master of the Snake Sect's demon hunters."

Lei Suo's expression turned pale, as long as he is good at using swords, who hasn't heard of the name of Mahakam's magic weapon.And the one made by the Great Elder himself must be the best of the best. If you get one, it will be a huge help in the future battles.

"Great Elder, although I'm just an apprentice, I can definitely contribute by cooperating with Lei Suo tacitly." Hearing the reward, Roy couldn't help being moved, but the other party didn't seem to agree with his point of view.

"You?" Broval shook his head and said meaningfully, "Little brother, I think you'd better stay in Carbon Mountain honestly, and eat as much wine and barbecue as you want!"

Roy sighed in his heart, not only the demon hunter thought he was weak, but also the dwarves looked down on him.

In fact, he is still somewhat useful. Although he can't fight close to monsters like a demon hunter, he can at least help throw an alchemy bomb and release cold arrows.

He turned around and blinked at the hesitant witcher, but the other party turned a blind eye.

"Elder Browar, entrusted me to take over, this little devil will stay in Tanshan, please take good care of me."

Broval nodded, and said to the white-haired dwarf, "Kelvin, I order you to obey Master Lei Suo's orders from today on, and do your best to help him track down the murderer. If you are negligent, you will not be lenient!"

"As ordered!"

Kelvin, who had been bowing his head in silence, replied in a deep voice,

"Master Lei Suo, you start the investigation from tomorrow, with a deadline of two weeks to December. If you don't catch the murderer by then, please go back the same way and leave Mahakam!"

Chapter 41 Special Missions

After receiving the order, Kelvin led the two of them out of the resplendent palace and walked to the guest room on the other floor.

"Lesso, this time I'm going to leave me as a shopkeeper again?" Roy tried to persuade the demon hunter, "Don't you think fighting that kind of monster is an extremely valuable experience? Even if I don't have the ability to participate, hiding Watching from the sidelines can also learn a lot. Trust me, it will never hold you back."

"We had rejected a commission in Spencer before, but we couldn't escape after all... Don't you think this is the guidance of fate?" He saw that the other party was indifferent, so he brought up fate, and the demon hunter seemed to like it. One set, "Fate, let us meet this challenge together."

"Come on, 'Destiny' has no time to pay attention to a little ghost from the countryside." The demon hunter stared at the white-haired dwarf leading the way in front of him, and said without looking back, "You have to go deep into the forest to hunt that thing. And The forest is its home, and the animals and plants are like eyes and ears, once you step in, you can't hide from any corner, and hiding is unrealistic."

"So don't be delusional," the demon hunter deliberately increased his voice, "you just stay in Carbon Mountain honestly, just treat it as a tourist. It's also good to go around nearby, not everyone has the opportunity to visit this miraculous fortress .”

"You have been working hard on crossbow shooting skills, and the carbon mountain dwarf archers are experts in this field. If you have the opportunity, you can ask them for advice. If you are really bored, take a look at the notes I left for you."

Seeing the resolute attitude of the demon hunter, Roy stopped pressing.

But the other party had a good point, he was very happy to communicate with the dwarf archer.After all, I just "bought" a brand new crossbow, and my hands were itchy.

……

The two followed Kelvin all the way up the spiral escalator at the end of the furnace hall to the second floor.

Kelvin seemed to have been stimulated by something, and since he was taught by the elder Brovar, he has been honest, like a diligent servant, and led the two into the upper floor of the palace where Brovar Hogg was. The hollow interior of the mountain.

Push open the door on the second floor, and under the light of the torch wrapped in oilcloth, there are neatly arranged showrooms and warehouses on both sides. Looking up, there is a row of iron doors with rectangular observation holes at the end of the corridor in front.

And Roy suddenly felt the sound of whistling wind accompanied by a gust of freezing cold air coming out of the observation hole of the iron door, which made him tremble all over. "Are there still windows open inside the mountain wall?"

When he came to the iron gate, he couldn't help looking up, and then he was startled.

"This... the dwarves in the mountains are so good at playing?"

The room behind the iron door is just the size of a normal bedroom, empty, and there is no wall at the back of the bedroom, it is completely open, the howling cold wind blows in with snowflakes, freezing the ceiling, side walls and floor of the room Crystal clear ice slag.

This is the so-called semi-open snow room?

Residents in the room only need to walk a few steps forward in the room to see the majestic and majestic view of Carbon Mountain at close range and feel the original charm of the ice and snow.Through the empty walls, you can admire the snow-covered pine trees in the vast snow field and the crumbling sunset in the sky.

Of course, the premise is that the residents are physically strong enough not to freeze to death. After all, there are no blankets or braziers in the room.Only a few races with well-developed body hair, rough skin and thick flesh like dwarves can enjoy this kind of treatment.

And continue to go forward a few steps, you can say goodbye to this world.

"How about it, kid, if you make a mistake in Mahakam, you can go in and experience it for a week. Do you want me to help you arrange it?"

At some point, Kelvin leaned over to him and said something sinister.

Roy turned around suddenly, squinted his eyes and looked down at the dwarf's head resting on his chest.

"Your Excellency Kelvin, is the kid referring to me?"

The dwarf's complexion changed, but he remembered the elder's entrustment and snorted.

When the three of them turned a few corners in the corridor and came to the guest room at the back of the corridor, the dwarf threw down two keys, "There will be servants delivering food at night. Turn off the lights after ten o'clock, stay in the room honestly and don't walk around casually." , the Great Elder who strayed into the forbidden area cannot save you. Also, Master Lei Suo, I will call you tomorrow morning!"

"Bang!" The door slammed shut.

Roy stretched his waist. Too many things happened today, his eyes could barely see, and his mind needed to slow down.

The witcher made a quiet gesture to him, tiptoed to the observation hole to watch the movement outside the door, confirmed that there was no one nearby, and hooked his fingers.

"Know why I don't let you get involved?"

"I dislike me for dragging my feet."

"Of course, that's the main reason."

"Master Witcher, just speak up if you have something to say." Roy took a deep breath, "I noticed, you deliberately amplified your voice on the way, trying to mislead Kelvin Hogg?"

"Very good! The cold air of Carbon Mountain didn't freeze your brain. There is a mission for you to stay."

"Oh?" Roy straightened his posture all of a sudden, "I knew that although big fists are the last word in this world, you have to use your brain occasionally."

The demon hunter leaned close to his ear and whispered, "During the time I went into the forest to investigate, you were in charge of searching the dwarves in Carbon Mountain, and found a guy with a special mark on his body."

As he spoke, he drew a few times on the ground with his fingers, outlining a strange symbol of overlapping spider webs and antlers.

"Remember this mark. Any dwarf who has a mark of this shape on his arm, thigh, or anywhere else on his body, tell me immediately. Don't let him find out..."

Roy rubbed his chin and frowned, "It's winter, everyone is wrapped up like a bear, how can I check their bodies? If the imprint is on a bearded butt, I can't just take off his pants open?"

"This requires you to find another way?" The demon hunter patted his shoulder heavily with his generous palm, "Little devil, you have done a good job in Kadel House, continue to use your advantages."

Roy sat down on the bed, rolled his eyes, and soon had an idea.

The "observation" skill plus observation with the naked eye, double guarantee, may be able to catch the mark parasite.

"Try not to let other people see the clues." The demon hunter warned with a serious face, "But if you can find a few trustworthy dwarves who have confirmed that they are not parasitized by the mark, it would be good to help."

"I have another question," Roy asked hesitantly, "What if the target is a woman?"

"The miners and hunting team members who are most likely to enter the mountain forest and come into contact with the deer head spirit are all men. They are your primary targets." The demon hunter paused, "If you can't find them...you are young, compared Children look more tender. Even if something happens, women don't care about it."

An image of a bearded, hairy woman appeared in Roy's mind, and he shook his head with a cold face, praying that the parasite was not a woman.

"What does the imprint mean? There is no such content in the notes."

The demon hunter licked his chapped lips, "You have to understand that the stronger the monster, the wider the territory it occupies. 'It's' hunting ground extends from Spangsol at the foot of the mountain to the deep valley near Carbon Mountain,'it 'The years I have experienced, the power I have mastered must be rare in my life."

"I have to prepare for the worst—it has awakened a secret technique, which is closely related to the imprint. If the imprint parasite can't be found, even if I kill the murderer, it can extract the life force of the parasite and revive it immediately!"

"And the imprint parasite has long surrendered to it, no different from half a slave, so he can't detect it."

Roy was shocked when he heard this, and a tall figure with antlers, white bones, covered with moss, and twisted limbs like branches suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Sure enough, it's the Deer Shoujing!"

Chapter 42 Getting Started

"Deer Shoujing."

The product of the convergence of the celestial and spheres, it lives in the deep mountains and old forests. It has beast companions who can summon it, and can also control plants to assist it. Because of its unique shape, it is often regarded as the center of belief by ignorant mountain villagers. It sacrifices.

"I remember that in many folklore, the deer head spirit is a kind character. It will help lost travelers to guide the direction and save victims from bandits." The teaching is vivid, so ask as much as possible.

"Little devil, do you believe this kind of ridiculous story? In fact, the deer's head spirit will slowly absorb the energy of the creatures gathered in the territory until it becomes an empty shell."

"But this guy usually doesn't take the initiative to attack ordinary humans?"

"Everything in the world has pros and cons. There are deer-shoulders who seem to live in peace with humans on the surface, and there are also guys who regard humans as mortal enemies." In the name of 'ancient'. Not surprisingly, there must be altars in the mountains and forests that increase power. From tomorrow, I will pull down the altars one by one to weaken their power."

Roy was faintly worried, the thing seemed to be more powerful than he expected, "Are you sure, ordinary steel weapons don't have much effect on the deer head spirit?"

"Sword oil, bombs, and potions are all ready, and the rest depends on God's will." Lei Suo's voice became heavy, "If I fail to come back, you should leave Mahakam and find a way to get to Sintra and Meet Oakes and Serritt. They will be responsible for the follow-up training."

Roy's breath was stagnant when he heard it, and he looked like he was confessing his last words.

"Why don't you exit Mahakam and take a detour through Livia and Upper Soden?"

"You think Carbon Mountain is a tavern, and you can come and go whenever you want?" The demon hunter shook his head, "If we don't meet the deer head spirit, the great elder Browar can't let us go."

……

In the evening, servants brought food.

Although Carbon Mountain Fortress is extremely majestic and majestic, the internal living conditions are not as good as the residence of Sewell Hogg, who is far away in Edsberg.Apart from two beds, a kerosene lamp, and an old clock, there is no other furniture in the bedroom.Fortunately, it has inherited the characteristics of cave dwellings. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, so it does not make people feel cold.

Besides, dinner was pretty good: two dark roasts, hard bread covered with icicles, frozen lumps of fruit, nuts, and mead, which had a special flavor.

Roy shared half of the barbecue on his plate with the witcher.

"Eat more, Lei Suo, what if this is your last bite?"

"Okay," he said half-truthfully before the other party changed his face, "it's just a joke, but if you can't come back, why should I go to Sintra? Why don't you go directly to Novigrad and accompany Old Moore and Sue?" Qian sells vegetables." He paused, clenched his hands, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, "Since you led me on this road, Lei Suo, you have to be responsible to the end."

The sound of the witcher chewing stopped at once, and then continued nonchalantly after a while.

Early the next morning, when Roy woke up from meditation, the witcher was applying sword oil to the steel sword and two daggers.There was a rare tenderness in his eyes, as if he was looking at his lover.

The sturdy arms were as precise as a machine, and the movements were simple and powerful. The gray square scarf was stained with some yellow-brown grease, and wiped over the bright sword blade, filled with an inexplicable tension. Roy watched the whole process unknowingly.

A row of props were neatly placed in front of the demon hunter: potions, decoctions, sword oil, and alchemy bombs.

"Old rules, this is for you just in case, keep it safe."

Lesso handed over a small blue jar each wrapped with a yellow rubber band.

"What kind of bomb is this again?" Roy was overjoyed, he still remembered the power of Dancing Star last time.

"An anti-magic metal bomb, which can prevent the deer's head spirit from releasing magic, and is also effective against demon hunters and warlocks."

"Anything else?"

The demon hunter pointed to another thing and explained patiently, "This bottle of translucent solution is the residual oil that can cause additional damage to the deer head essence. It is the sword oil I just applied on the sword."

"That bottle of green is devil dust, which can cause it a little trouble."

……

Not long after, Kelvin came to take the witcher away. Of course, this guy still didn't have a good look at the two of them.

And Roy was taken by another dwarf, Sanchez, to visit the entire Carbon Mountain.

Carbon Mountain will not keep idle people, all dwarf members have responsibilities: blacksmiths and winemakers in charge of production, dwarf hunting teams in charge of hunting, supervisors of mines, people who manage the daily life of all residents in Carbon Mountain...etc Wait.

If the entire Carbon Mountain is a country, then the elder Brovar is the king, and the other elders are the ministers of the kingdom.
