The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"The wolf school will join, but they will still stay in the castle of Kelmohan, that is the castle of the wolf school, but we can help each other regardless of opportunity or trouble. Maybe in a while, there will be one in the south The demon hunter castle of the Viper School, but we can serve as a wider academy of unity, just like the order of warlocks will not require all warlocks to live on Sinide Island. When there is a chance in the north, Our letters can reach the south, and when you encounter difficulties in the south, you can also come to the north for assistance. We should no longer be like homeless people, asking about whether there are jobs and employment."

Towson's bandit guild gave Zelin a good inspiration. These were originally just robbers who blocked roads and robbed them. In the north, they were a pile of scattered sand, and there were robbers everywhere, but the villagers in a village could contend with the robbers nearby as long as they were armed. But in Towsonte, once many bandits formed a large-scale organization, they could even resist the conquests of the Towsonite Knights and control the northern wilderness that was the size of the Buckland land.

How incredible.

"The Duchess Anna has no objection to the Demon Hunters. If you want to establish an academy in the south, this river valley commission is the best opportunity."

"We need more time to think about it."

"I understand." Zelin couldn't think of a better persuasive condition than this. He is a person who wants to restore the academy, but the Viper School is the whole school working hard in this direction, and they have no reason to give up this hope of success.

"What then? A terrible title? What else?" the youngest Oaks asked curiously. Compared with the demon hunters present, forty years old is indeed very young.

"Of course." Zelin raised his glass and let the cheap beer moisturize his throat. "That's a day later."

Chapter 371 Peace and Harmony

"You heard that too, Master Demon Hunter. Maybe you can give our dear Captain Milton and Renate Knight some advice."

The duke put her right hand on her left hand, stroking the heraldic ring on her index finger. "Please tell us, you are from the north, an expert in dealing with monsters, do you have any good suggestions for monsters in the forest?"

"Monsters in the deep forest are usually very dangerous creatures. Your Excellency, it is dangerous and irresponsible to go deep into the forest." Zelin searched for the knowledge and memories he had engraved in his head. "Some powerful monsters." Most of them live in deep mountains and old forests, such as female special monsters, deer head spirit monsters, cattail dragons and royal griffon beasts. As long as the mountains are high enough, they can see the nests of the human face monster birds. Breaking into the forest will only make things worse. Many monsters have to come into contact with humans. For example, Griffin beasts, there have been a large number of griffon beasts wounding people in recent years, but in the past two decades, many people have not heard of this kind of monster. When settled in remote places, Griffins also found that these two-legged creatures are much more delicious than wild beasts in the jungle."

"But a master demon hunter can definitely deal with these monsters, right?"

"Of course, sir."

"You worked with the ranger knights to defeat the evil robbers in Heshan. Please allow me to make a hypothesis, Master Demon Hunter." Towsonte’s garrison and knights assist you. Following your advice, can you help Towsonte to clear the threat from the forest?"

A whisper spread between the knight nobles and courtiers, rustling like a gust of wind through the pine forest.

A fat man stood up, opened his arms and bent over to salute. A few steps away, Zelin could clearly smell the wine on his body.

"Please forgive me, Enlightener."

"Please tell, Baron Absolun, what do you want to tell us?"

"Initiator, it has never been allowed in the sacred principality code. An outside northerner can make the entire guard support him, not to mention that he is not even a knight or citizen of Tousant."

"But there is no prohibition in the code, right?" The Duchess spread out her left hand. "In the past three months, Buckland has received no fewer than 30 reports of deaths and disappearances of immigrants, and more security teams have been dispatched to the river valley. As for the robbers in the wilderness in the northern part of the wilderness, they benefited from the fighting for the demon hunters and the noble ranger knights. If conventional means cannot guarantee the personal and property safety of the immigrants, we should try our best instead of sitting in Bowkland and listening. One death report after another. The purpose of the code is to protect good citizens, not to make us indifferent when citizens are threatened."

"However, the beloved enlightener, according to traditional regulations..."

"Your Excellency, here, I am the one who makes the rules."

Baron Absolun’s face looked like dried persimmons, perhaps from fermented grapes.

"Now, is there any question?"

"No, please forgive my abruptness, Your Enlightener."

The demon hunter quietly rolled his eyes and looked around at the sides. The noble gentlemen and courtiers had their faces tense, looking at the patterns on the pillars, staring down at the pins on their chests, or putting their eyes on the sleeves, as if Nothing has happened here, and nothing has been heard.

Zelin decided that if he did not conflict with any bottom-line principle, he would agree with the Duchess as much as possible.

"Are you willing to accept this commission, Master Demon Hunter?"

"If your Excellency wishes to entrust me to remove the monsters and demon spirits that threaten settlements, I am of course willing to accept this entrustment. But I think the enemies you need to use the guards and knights to deal with are not those monsters, but those living in the forest. Druid."

"Those cultists are driving monsters. I visited Sintra and established a friendship with their princess Patavi. I know that there are also traces of cultists in the north. For those religions that are not officially recognized, I want to hunt demons. Hunters shouldn't sympathize with these cultists."

Zelin raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "Yes, sir, but war..."

"The war is a wrong act, and it has undoubtedly been revoked by the express order." Duchess Anna raised her head and interrupted Zelin proudly. "I wrote to my cousin Enhill Enris on this matter. In my letter, I firmly asked him to stop the unnecessary bloodshed, because war and discord are bad things, and discord will destroy cohesion and harmony. The war has ended, and a peace treaty has definitely been signed. And Enhill has already sent a formal apology letter to the court of Sintra. I have read that letter and I am very sure of this."

This time, he heard low murmurs again, but this time, many people were staring at the demon hunter nervously, and some were hiding in the dark and gesturing, or using winks to suggest that he turned off the topic as soon as possible.

"But your Excellency, the druids are not cultists. In the north, they are recognized cults, a group of respected healers, and knowledgeable natural scholars and meteorologists..."

"If these believers are as respectable as you say, why do they refuse to come to Bowkland to meet me, but hide in the forest and hurt innocent Towson citizens and immigrants from the South?"

This time, there was a faint voice from below, but it was different from last time. This time, only one person's face became tense. The gentlemen and nobles around are all looking like they don't know or understand anything. Of course Zelin could continue to be silent, he saw a person gesturing to him a number. He certainly understands why this is the case. If Towson can clear the druids from the forest, the merchant's guild will be able to completely control a huge forest farm that produces a large amount of rare and precious wood.

As long as there is enough money, it can offset the cost of fighting the druid. As long as all this is enough, the pensions of those soldiers who died in action can be paid. With just a small upfront investment, you can get higher returns.

The person who made the gesture carried a gold chain. The gold chain was a triangular hollow pendant made of gold and engraved with stars surrounded by flames. Zelin knew what this thing meant, that was the unique symbol of the Nilfgard Merchants' Guild.

But war is not a matter of price tag.

"Your Excellency, when I came to Towsonte, I met a female druid. She was a gentle and beautiful lady with good conduct. She said that the Druids wanted to meet the Duchess, but she preached The group cannot get permission to meet you. The druids are not a group that likes to use violence and killing. If the problem can be solved through communication and agreement, they will definitely be willing to make certain concessions..."

"I heard you right!" Anna suddenly raised her chin again and raised her voice. "The druid hopes to come to Bakerland to meet me, hoping to rely on agreements to live together peacefully with immigrants? Why have we never talked about this? Why didn’t I see such a report on my desk? Minister Dickenson?! Give me an explanation!"

"Initiator... I just don't want the news of these cultists to disturb you..."

The man with the gold chain knelt down, "I don't want you to worry about it..."

"You are neglecting your duty and abusing your power!" Anna screamed, "Guard! Take him to the tower! Make sure he stays inside safely before he gets the trial by the Codex!"

The others were still looking left and right, without saying a word, until the guards left the room with the poor and hateful minister, no one said anything or changed their facial expressions, as if there was no one missing in the room.

"Immediately let our Minister of Foreign Affairs arrange a meeting. I need to discuss the issue of the Northern River Valley. What are you still standing here for? Gentlemen, I have already issued an order to execute it immediately!"

"Oh, it's wonderful. Just a word to let a minister of the Principality be thrown into the tower prison." Resso clapped his hands. Let’s see if Master Tynesell has urged the apprentice to make the armor."

"Of course, it happened that the Duchess handed me a commission that suits me."

"There are other commissions?" Oaks whistled again. "The Duchess seems to admire you. What commission is that?"

Chapter 372 "Private" Commission

"This is a private request, no, to be exact, this is a request from all Towsonte women of good character."

Before everyone left, Anna stood up and walked to Zelin. "An evil demon recently came to Towsonte. She is a monster with a feminine appearance. She has a face turned into indescribable indescribable qualities. She has a lie. The constituted tongue lures many good-natured gentlemen and destroys their families. Here, I entrust you, the master demon hunter, to remove this demon for Towson." The duchess held her handkerchief and wiped her nose. "Believe it," When you understand the evil beast, you will feel the gratitude of the outstanding women of Towson, which will satisfy you."

To be honest, Zelin rarely receives commissions to kill the female night demon. Although the Duchess called her a demon and a succubus, according to the description, this should be a night demon who didn't know why she ended up in Towson.

After preparing all the materials needed to build armored weapons, especially the most expensive refined anti-magic metal plate, that is, the specially refined Di Magic Gold, the price of building armor is much cheaper. According to the ratio of Nilfgaard Franc to Novigrad Krona of five to one, plus as one of the people who attacked Heshan Castle to rescue Tynesell, the elves only charged a small fee for a token fee. Just equip the demon hunter with a shiny coat and breastplate.

But he still needs time to build the remaining pieces, and it happens that Zelin can also take advantage of the time to finish the remaining things.

The Renate Knights returned to the valley area within two days of Buckland. When he came to Buckland, his original purpose was to get more assistance from Buckland, and the confrontation with the druid had reached a precarious point. Both sides have begun to use force to disperse each other. Fortunately, they are still restrained. There has been no case of death due to confrontation. Although he did not bring any guards and knights with him this time, the chessboard knight was very optimistic about his mission.

"The respectable Duchess discovered that many contracts were signed without telling her. According to the sacred code of the duchy, these contracts are illegal and invalid. The Guards will not provide any protection and protection to these illegal businessmen. Help, and they are responsible for their violations."

Renate patted his breastplate. "The knights who are loyal to the Duchess and Towson ensure that the will of the Enlightener is carried out. You have helped a lot, Demon Hunter. Honestly, I really don’t want to be with those Drews. The war in Iraq, thanks to you, we don’t have to pay the soldiers’ lives for the investment of those illegal businessmen.”

"If the Duchess can communicate more with people outside the court, few people can cover her eyes." Zelin shrugged, and he rustled his body, exuding armor with the smell of fresh leather and metal. What do you think of my new clothes?"
