Demon Hunter and His Hut
Chapter 19: The flying Dutch...
"The Demon Hunter and His Hut (
"What should I call you?" Roger said suddenly, but his tone was weird, obviously in another language.
"Do you speak our language?" the mermaid said, her voice tactfully as in the legend, even if they didn't sing, their voices were beautiful enough.
"It's not difficult." Roger smiled.
"Xinnaz."
"To be honest, you are much more fluent than your companion, I have had enough of his poor pronunciation." The mermaid complained.
In the following exchanges, Roger also figured out what happened. Just like Geralt said, all this was a conspiracy.
In the agreement many years ago, this sea area belonged to the mermaid, and if the Duke Aegrowal wanted to expand his industry, the mermaid was an obstacle he had to bypass.
So he needs a reason to start a war with the king. For countless years, humans have driven the elves from the city to the depths of the forest, and he has become the master of this world.
It can be said that apart from the ocean, there are very few areas in the world that humans have not set foot in, but this will not make people feel satisfied, but will breed greater desires.
But in fact, the ocean is different from the land. There are so many things they haven't understood, even during the time when the elves ruled, they rarely set foot in it.
If the war really begins, it is destined to be a massacre.
"Finally explained clearly." Geralt let out a sigh of relief. The two days of exchanges made him feel bad. The language of mermaid is extremely complicated, and he is not proficient in mastering it. In addition, it is inevitable that his attention will inevitably be caused by some injuries. Some are not so focused.
"This is just a misunderstanding. Let us leave. We will talk to the Lord Duke in person."
"Despicable guy, this thing can't be left as it is, I want to teach him a lesson!"
The mermaid looked angry, "I will go with you to meet the so-called Duke, and then make him pay for it!"
"Alright." Roger nodded, and then helped Geralt, who was naked, onto the boat.
"So shall we go now?"
"Wait a minute, you can change to a larger boat." The mermaid waved his hand, and his chest rose and fell. Dandrien stared without speaking, and his mouth opened wide after a moment.
Wow!
The surface of the water broke open, the mermaid moved downstream, and then a wooden boat soaked in the moisture of the sea broke out of the water.
Although it is not a big luxury ship, it is at least much stronger than the small boat that Roger and the others drive.
The water on the deck emptied, and the wooden boat stopped steadily on the sea. Roger blew a whistle and said a joke that no one else understood.
"Flying Dutch..."
Everyone boarded the boat again without sending anyone to paddle. There was a mermaid driving under the water, the sea breeze rushed towards them, and the rugged Dragon Tooth Reef became no different from ordinary seas.
The speed of returning was much faster than when they came. Just after noon, everyone's wooden boats left the Dragon Tooth Reef and returned to the nearby waters.
But this time they hadn't traveled far, when several large ships approached them in sight, Roger frowned, and Dandri made a strange cry.
He saw the clan emblem belonging to the duke's family on the flag of the ship on the opposite side.
"Why is he here?"
"Always waiting for us to go back?"
Geralt had already put on his clothes at this time and put his weapon back on his back. There was a low ridicule in his throat, "It seems that the Lord Duke is more thoughtful than we thought, and he must find us in person before he will give up! "
"Is he going to kill us?" Ashe looked nervous. In the poetess's adventure career, similar situations were obviously not included.
"Don't worry." Roger comforted everyone.
The speed of the two sides is very fast, and the distance is gradually narrowed until each other can see each other's appearance clearly.
Sure enough, it was Duke Aegrowal who stood at the forefront of the deck.
"Demon hunter, how is your mission accomplished?"
The Duke's eyes were sharp, and then his gaze moved away from Geralt and fell on Roger.
"There are many people who can testify that you have taken my dear Zelister, so now can you tell me where he is?"
"There is no such thing as a monster, all these are your traps!" Geralt shouted.
"Hey, it's no wonder that your reputation is so bad, it turns out that this is how you accomplished the task." The Duke sneered.
"Well, if I am blind, let Ze Liszt come over, I will pay you half of the reward, and then I will roll as far as I can!"
"Zeliste was killed by a monster."
"Monster?!" The Duke put on an exaggerated expression, "But the demon hunter, you just told me that there are no monsters. Is it because my ears are wrong, or you say..."
"You filthy things murdered my administrative officer!"
"Wow!"
At this moment, a water column soared into the sky, and at the top of the water column, the figure of a mermaid emerged.
"Look, it's a mermaid!"
"Everyone, her skin is green!"
"And the two **** on his chest!"
"God, I dare to swear, that is the most perfect I have ever seen!"
There was a series of noises on the deck, and the Duke's guards had their eyes widened and talked about it.
Even Lord Duke changed his previous seriousness and stared at the mermaid intently.
"Please tell me my anger!" The mermaid said to Roger.
"Tell them who I am!"
Even in a state of anger, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, the mermaid's voice is unusually sweet, but the Duke did not give Roger a chance to relay it.
He raised his hand violently, and the guards around him received instructions, and they set their bows in succession. They held strong crossbows and firmly locked Roger and the others.
"So you were in collusion with them!" The Duke made an angry look.
"This is the sea of humans, leave here immediately, otherwise I will treat your behavior as a provocation!"
Dandrian jumped madly, but he wisely didn't move forward, but hid behind Roger and shouted.
"What did he say?" Even if you don't understand the Duke's words, you can watch his actions, and the mermaid knows what it means.
Roger turned his head and relayed the words of the Duke. After a while, the water was rippling, and a dozen figures emerged from the water.
"Very well, tell that arrogant human, if he wants war, then I will give it to him!"
Both sides are ready, and the battle will start at any moment.
At this time Roger turned around and looked at Shinnaz, "Don't worry, there will be no war, because the grievances between me and him are still unclear."
At this time, the Duke spoke again, but the object of his speech was no longer Roger and the others, but Ashe who was hiding behind everyone.
"It's heartbreaking, beautiful Miss Ash, I have invited you several times, but you trampled my heart without hesitation."
"But now I am willing to give you one last chance to leave them and come to my boat. You are still my respected guest and can continue to attend the banquet in a few days."
"Even the conditions I promised you before will not change."
"It's a pity, if the two demon hunters go on mission together, then today's situation will not happen."
The Duke's eyes were gloomy, and there seemed to be a hungry wolf hidden in his eyes.
