The Journey of the Demon Hunter
Chapter 24:
If Hiri really becomes the last legal heir to the Sintra throne with a strong claim, in order to get a claim on this land, the kings will definitely find her at any cost and marry her to a second prince who does not have the right to inherit the kingdom. , The third prince. Through royal marriage, the people of Sintra can only recognize the rule of other kings. However, Zelin didn't look for Ciri for the gold in Dikoscher's hands. Compared with the heir to the throne, Zelin was more concerned about the identity of her unexpected son.
"Sir, do you need a towel?"
"Well, get me one."
During this time, he also met the druids who were active in this area. They did adopt many war orphans. They also asked Tozerin to bring the orphans he met under the druid's oak tree for the orphans. Provide shelter. It is a pity that Zelin did not find a girl that fits Xili's description.
But anyway, it is time for him to return to Mahakam. Crossing the river north from Rivendell, passing through Livia into the Edsburg area, and then further west, there is a trail into Mahakam that leads directly to the Carbon Mountain area. Before the surveillance portal is opened next time, he should use the money he earned to repair the castle that seems to collapse at any time. He doesn't want to find himself crawling out of a pile of ruins when he comes back next time.
Thank you for your reward, and thank you for the blood red stone, red has three times the speed, and the monthly ticket of the dream is not allowed.
Chapter 57 The Artist
According to Zelin's vision, he should first repair the castle as the foundation of the academy, at least to look like a place for people to live in. The castle is divided into three floors, as well as a cellar. The rooms inside are mainly distributed on the second floor. The first floor is a living room, and the third floor is used to store sundries. Maybe a slight modification can separate several small rooms. Zelin roughly estimated that the entire castle could accommodate more than twenty people.
In the castle courtyard, there are two wooden side houses on the left and right, but the roofs have long collapsed in the wind and rain. Zelin surveyed before leaving. The one far away from the castle is estimated to be able to be used again after a little repair, but it is close to the castle. Not only was the roof of one of the houses collapsed, but the upper part of the wall had become completely decayed. The edges of the broken wooden planks were full of jagged cracks. There was a huge boulder in the ruins of the house. Zelin guessed it might be on the castle. Which stone fell off and hit the roof of the hut, turning the hut into a scrapped state.
There is not much excess in the castle courtyard. Except for the two huts, there is a small wooden house at the entrance of the castle. It covers an area of only ten square meters. This may be a guard house, but this is nothing for the Demon Hunter Academy. Meaning, Zelin thought he could tear down the hut and repair the stable on the right side of the castle courtyard. If all the scattered stones in the yard can be cleaned up, there should be facilities such as wooden pile pendulums used for the training of demon hunters. As for the trial trails and the like, it is necessary to find a place outside the castle .
It will definitely cost another penny to clean up the excess stones. The dwarf masons are highly skilled, but the price is also very expensive, but it is worth the price. You get what you pay for. Zelin never believes that a pie is lost in the sky. For example, someone told him that he only needed to find someone and he could easily earn one hundred Francs of gold. He would directly refuse this. These orders are not traps, or the client has a conspiracy. This is the case, although sometimes the facts can be unacceptable to the heart and money bag. As if standing in front of Zelin at this moment, a dwarf dressed as a businessman was calculating how to squeeze every coin in Zelin's pocket.
"Sorry, I didn't hear clearly, how much is it?"
"One thousand Fronds, yes, it is one thousand. Don't those bad coins, don't counterfeit coins, but the good coins printed with the Novigrad Mint, it can only be good coins, one less is not enough. , Don't show the look of error, it's the price."
The dwarf wearing a deep red wool coat with Mahakam emblem embroidered on his chest was very determined. Like the other dwarves, his chin was completely covered by a thick beard, and his lips had a peculiar mustache, and his long, messy hair emerged from the red dome hat, all the way to his shoulders. His short stature and strong muscles on his shoulders make him look like a rock, and his character seems to be like a rock. Rubbing the ring on his right index finger, the dwarf broke the unbearable silence. "Listen, Demon Hunter Hunter, we will not use inferior materials to build houses, and we will not put a pile of hay into the wall and block it with stones. We will tell you that the work is complete. Hire us and you can rest assured to hand over the work to us. . Good materials need coins, good workers need coins even more, and we have to make some, right?"
Zelin shook his head, "I think I should go to Tanshan. Maybe the price will be cheaper than Fojian."
While passing by Livia, Zelin happened to meet a group of dwarf craftsmen from Fojian. Listen to their leader-the dwarf who is squeezing Zelin's coins-Oakley Ayres said that they were originally hired by Queen Mayvi to build a fortress in southern Livia. This happened a month ago. About four days after the Sintra massacre, the queen thought that the Nilfgadians would launch a raid from Rivendell to East Anglin, just like they did with Sintra, so she went to Fjian in the southern part of the Mahakam Mountains. The city dwarves, let them build a fortress and several outposts in southern Livia to monitor the movements of Nilfgad.
But now the situation is clear. The Nilfgaards will not launch an attack on Leiria-Livia. Their target is Tamoria, Brugge and Sutton. As a result, the dwarf craftsmen arrive at the location with tools. Later, he found out that he was fired again.
"You will not find a better craftsman than us, whether in Carbon Mountain or elsewhere." The dwarf spread his hands, shook his head, and said confidently, but there was a trace of anxiety in his eyes that could not escape Zelin. Sight.
"I don't want to build a new castle, I just want to slightly repair the castle to make it look like a place for people to live in." Zelin explained. All the various coins in his pocket were exchanged for Francs. It is true that one thousand Francs can be exchanged, but surrendering one thousand Francs means that when he comes back next time, if he can’t get good luck, Find a good commission within a few days, otherwise he will be hungry for many days. There are mountains around Mahakam. Zelin knows how to find weeds on the plains, and edible mushrooms are found in the forests, but the mountains are not a place he is familiar with. .
"Of course, it seems to be inhabitable. There are many buildings in this world that seem to be inhabitable, but I dare to pack a ticket. Many magnificent buildings can be turned into ruins by just knocking them with a hammer. Those human craftsmen only learned the fur, and put on the appearance of a master. If you want me to say, they don't know what a real building is." The dwarf complained and waved his hand, and some vulgar words could not help but pop out of his mouth. , Which expresses contempt for those who falsify.
"But you are obviously not as good as theirs." Zelin looked carefully at the dwarf's brown coat. Although dark clothes are not easy for outsiders to find stains, Zelin can still see the oil stains on the cuffs and collar of the clothes. There was a repair on the knees of the lower body. The repair technique was good, and Zelin scanned it twice before noticing it. As the leader of a team, Ayers' clothes are still like this. You can imagine what other people will look like.
"Everyone likes magnificent and cheap things, ha~ As for the quality problem, who cares, I guess it won’t remind them until the roof hits their heads." The dwarf was like a cynical young man at this time. Instead of shouting like a dwarf with a long lifespan, Zelin could only shook his head.
"Sorry, your price is too high. If you can drop it slightly, for example, nine hundred francs, I might pay for your construction art."
Zelin is still very confident about the price he quoted. The dwarf in front of him needs to work, otherwise he has never seen a dwarf deliberately go to the front line of the war to help the warring party build fortresses and towers, and his clothes are the best proof. The dwarves are more unexpected, although they Zelin's aesthetics is a bit difficult to understand. For example, he braids his beards like human female hair, but they are still more unexpected. Even the dwarf spies he met before will wear bright clothes.
As for the remaining 100 Fronds, he can exchange for a lot of Oren coins when he comes back. Now Frond continues to appreciate. Even if the bank fees are removed, Zelin can still exchange for 400 Oren coins, which is enough for him to live for a while. Time.
"Nine hundred..." There was a tangled look on the dwarf's face. One thousand francs is indeed his bottom line, but it didn't take long for Ayres to make a decision before he could definitely get nine hundred francs and stick to the bottom line but he might not get a penny.
"Well, demon hunter, you are good at bargaining." The dwarf clapped his hands, gritted his teeth and seemed a little unsure whether he would do it or not. "It's hard to refuse, right, it's... nine hundred... "
"Yes, nine hundred."
"...You won, nine hundred, and you said you won’t regret it." The dwarf stomped his feet. Turn your ruins into a great place."
"Don't worry, the castle is at the far north of Mahakam. We will probably be walking for a few days."
"Oh! Why didn't you say it earlier! I should ask for the travel expenses again! The price of a team's travel expenses and the cost of a carriage hired by materials needs at least one hundred francs, maybe even higher!" The dwarf slapped his forehead sharply and shouted loudly. Then, after seeing Zelin's eyes without a trace, he quickly explained, "Uh, don't be surprised, I'm just saying, we said 900, I won't ask for extra things... ...But I will lose a lot of money on the way, do you provide travel expenses?"
"You didn't ask before, don't even think about travel expenses."
"You are really cunning."
"Thanks for the compliment."
Thanks to Xianglong Gu Yue, angry villagers, Shao Ming Zhen Miao Wan, Captain Jie Gang, and FBI's monthly ticket support, and thanks to Hong You's generous donation of triplex speed.

Chapter 58 Sutton’s Big News
After discussing the price with Oakley Ayres, Zelin spent almost the rest of the time lamenting the efficiency of the dwarves. The night before, Ayres had to **** the rotten wine bottles from the workers in the tavern, grabbing their ears and loudly telling them that they had work to do. At the time, the demon hunters were worried about how much time would be wasted to let these drunk dwarves wake up, but the dwarves under Ayres quickly proved by action that the alcohol content of human beer is similar to that of children's drinks for dwarves. In the morning of the next day, five carriages loaded with construction tools and some special materials moved along the trail in Livia towards the border of Edsberg. In each carriage were two very conscious minds. Dwarf, Zelin's ears are now full of their voices talking about the construction of the castle.
"Three days before the destination, Ayres."
"I know, for three days." The dwarf craftsman put on a bright red jacket. He sat in the front carriage, sitting on a pile of construction tools, and painting with papyrus in his hand. Zelin felt him Maybe he’s designing something, but the demon hunter generally has no artistic talents. At most, he can only see some of the numbers he marked from the above. The lord sought craftsmen, but I never thought that one day I would build a castle for a demon hunter."
"It's repairing."
"Okay, okay, repair is repair." The old dwarf bit the hookah in his mouth. These southern tobacco leaves are very popular across the continent. I heard that the only thing that can be combined with it is the tobacco from the eastern desert. Those humans who worship dragons seldom come into contact with humans on the plains, and no one is willing to risk being dried by high temperatures during the day and frozen at night by going deep into the desert to contact humans with language barriers.
"Although you can only pay me 900, and after deducting the extra cost, we can earn up to 300 kronor this trip, but since I promised your job, we will definitely do our best, and I will take care of your castle. Take care of it." The dwarf patted the sitting building tools and smiled.
"There are soldiers!" Suddenly, the dwarf with horses in front of the carriage shouted, "There are soldiers! They are coming towards us on horses!"
"Oh, **** it! I don't want to be in trouble here," Ayres murmured a few words in a low voice. He waved his hand to signal the convoy to stop, then jumped out of the carriage and patted his clothes to smooth the wrinkles. During this period, Zelin saw other dwarves pulling out from the tool pile some things that were obviously not in the category of construction tools.
The dwarf in the second carriage hung a hammer with a peck on the top, swinging the hammer head to the back so that the handle of the hammer was tilted up and placed on his right hand. There is also a dwarf, like Lehman, who spreads his cloak to cover the crossbow on his knees, and has his other hand ready for the crossbow, tightening the crossbow string, ready to shoot the crossbow at any time. The dwarf in the third carriage was holding two daggers into the belt, and then covered it with a jacket. As for the rear carriage and the fourth carriage, Zelin did not see the dwarves inside, but compared to them. Do nothing.
Seeing Zelin looking at him questioningly, Oakley Ayres smiled kindly. "There are more and more bandits wearing soldier armor. Where there is war, there are deserters and desperadoes. Who knows what they are? Characters. As you know, all our carriages are allowed by law. Although they are not dry goods such as salted fish, building materials and tools are legal items in Leiria-Livia. If they are for Queen Mayvi The soldiers will not embarrass us, if not..."
"You will surprise them with hidden weapons."
The old dwarf smiled again and touched the right back midfielder as if confirming. Zelin guessed that there should be a short sword hidden there. He looked calm as usual, playing with the other hand on the pergola and looking at the cavalry not far away.
"I saw... well equipped, it doesn't look like a deserter... **** hat? This is not good" Olek muttered to himself, and then shouted to the dwarves behind him before the cavalry were close." Crank up, boys! Don’t take the initiative to provoke, or I will kick his **** fiercely! Be vigilant, flags and **** hats may change their owners at any time."
