Marianne stretched her thumb back. Looking over his shoulders, Zelin saw behind a pile of rubble, and could vaguely see a bed slab spread on the ground with only some hay on it.

"What happened yesterday? I can't remember." Zelin held his forehead, took the straw ears off his shoulders, and threw them away.

"Don't worry, nothing serious happened. Hmm...you want to know?"

Zelin hesitated for a while and shook his head.

"Forget it. How's it going, Marianne?"

"It can be said to be very good or it can be said to be very bad. Everyone wants to stab others in the back, but they are still restrained, so now you can only find dead bodies in the sewers and garbage dumps." Hawke moved He got into a chair and sat in front of Zelin, with his arms on his knees, and his body leaning forward slightly. "I have heard some news. It may not be that much, but it should be useful."

The people occupying the city are mainly Tamoria, Rydania, and Kodwin, as well as the Nilfgaards. No one knows why so many people in Nilfgard arrived at the summit, but they have an invitation from King Kodwin in their hands, and no one is willing or able to provoke them now. The northern countries were suspicious and suspicious. The streets between different courtyards were like the front lines of the battlefield. The Kodwin people even erected barricades and stubs at the door. The city was fairly quiet during the day, but at night, spies and murders were everywhere. Every morning, people could find one or two dead bodies in the ruins, or blood stains spreading to the sewers.

There are more treasure hunters, people looking for opportunities, villains with ghosts, mercenaries who want to get a share of the chaotic situation. Everyone here may be bought, or they may be spies. It is difficult to tell how many real civilians are on the civilian square.

"After ten days, the summit will begin." Hawke said. "But now people here are talking about the new party, Saqiya, the saint of Frjan. She came alone, but she is more powerful than with an army."

"Saqiya?" Zelin raised his eyes. "Where is she now?"

"It's near the ring arena. There is a tower with a few gargoyles inside. I heard that Saqiya solved the monsters inside and moved in by herself. Those stone statues are very difficult to deal with, her strength Yes, especially at the level of a ruler. If the Baron of Kirkwall was half of her level, he might be able to hold on until I rush over."

"Is there a warlock beside her?"

"Sorceress? I don't understand. I haven't seen her, nor can I get close there. Only a few people can get close to the ring arena."

"That's the best, Hawke. If you see the sorcerers next to Saqiya, it's best to stay away first, they may cause trouble."

"Trouble, maybe I will take the initiative to find it, it's useless to hide in the wilderness." Hawke sighed. "I hope nothing bad will happen here, or should I go? I shouldn't stay in a crowded place."

Zelin knew what she was talking about. After the Kirkwall disaster, Hawke left the city alone in order not to encumber other people in the city and hid in the wilderness for several years. But in the end, Corifias who messed up the world was still the monster she accidentally released during her adventure. Ever since she left her hometown and fled, bad luck always happened accurately to her and her family and friends.

"Could you not think that just because you are here, everyone can suddenly start attacking each other? Maybe you can compare your beauty with the goddess who is said to make the noblest knights fascinated."

Zelin made a joke. Marianne also laughed twice and waved her hand.

"Okay, don't talk about it. Did you find a detective later? Yes, he has arrived, and he has hired a few guards to investigate something nearby, but he hasn't come back yet."

"When did you leave?"

"Yesterday morning, he seemed to have found some clue and left with a letter that he didn't know where he got. I originally proposed to **** him personally, but he asked me to stay and watch him when he was away. The situation in Lomugne changes."

"What is he investigating?"

"It seems to be a few nobles, uh... Baron Kimber, do you know him?"

"I heard it." Zelin nodded. "What else?"

"There is a noble Tamorian who is very enthusiastic. Count Malaville, he also provided us with information. He said that he knew you and invited me to have lunch with Detective Curdin."

"Yes, I know him. A few months ago, I was a guest in his castle. Where is he?"

"Stay in his camp every day. It's a luxurious place. Are you going?"

"Well, I do have this idea, but I have to wait a while." Zelin pulled the shirt on the wooden stand aside and put it on his head. He can’t rule out any suspicion of the Tamorian nobles who first arrived in Lomugne, Baron Gembert and Earl of Maravill. Although Zelin’s first impression of the Earl is good, he can’t add too much until he finds evidence. The thing told Maravill. "By the way, Hawke, you have been in Lomugne for several days. Have you ever seen anyone with this badge?"

With that said, he took out the double-knife badge and handed it to Marianne.

"This? I think about it..." Marianne frowned. After a few seconds, she patted her hands. "Ah, isn't this the mercenary group that Detective Kedinger is investigating. I saw them in the square yesterday morning. They seem to be discussing employment fees with two well-mannered professors."

"The square?"

"Yes."

Zelin jumped out of the bed and put on his boots.

"Marian, you go and tell the Earl of Malavel, I want to know which Tamorian sent a messenger about fifteen days ago. I will go directly to the camp of Malavel in a while. See you."

"How about you?"

"I'm going to the square. See you later."

The first thousand eight hundred and ninety-nine chapters

If there is an outsider who appears on the Common People's Square the first time he enters Lomugne, he will definitely think that this is a peaceful and lively place. People from all over the north can be seen in the square, and all kinds of goods are placed on the stalls. The merchants in Kodwin and Aden finally have a chance to remove the goods hoarded in the warehouse after the war is over, and bounce them off. The dust is marked with the name of the local souvenir of Lomugne and sold at a higher price. The acrobats are performing in the center of the square, and a few coins are lying in pieces in a copper basin on the side. The gorgeous prostitute stood under the stone pillar, sitting on the raised rock, winking at the pedestrians passing by. But more are warlocks, and their voices of reminiscing about the past or arguing about academic issues.

"The amulet, the amulet from the ruins of Lomugne, can protect your family!"

"Elf souvenirs, souvenirs from ancient times, only need three crowns, and you can sell 30 crowns when you go to Novigrad, come and have a look!"

"Fresh fish, fresh fish soup."

"I told you, Banrus, your idea of ​​making a golem feel emotional and thinking like a human is to fart. The combination of the Eberret rune and the Hexagram magic circle embedded with the Rose spell is simple. The logic circuit of the hexagram is his upper limit. A simple tongue twister can overload your golem."

"That's because there are too few runes inlaid by the six-pointed star, and the logic module is insufficient. If we increase the number of outer corners so that the circle is infinitely close to a circle..."

"Then you will be sucked into a man for one cast."

"What about lightning? It can be powered by lightning! Just like the wizard wizard uses electricity to drive a portal."

"Devil hunter!" Suddenly, among the noisy voices, Zelin heard someone yelling at him. He followed the direction of the sound, and saw two men dressed like professors beckoning to him. "Devil Hunter! Here!"

He knew these two people, it was Professor Osenfurt who handed him the potion in the floating port.

"Why are you here?" Zelin looked at the people standing in front of him. One was still wearing single-rim glasses, but the other changed his headscarf to a felt hat. "I thought you had already gone back to Osenfurt."

"Because Lomune has more attractive secrets waiting for us." The glasses professor stared at the corner of the demon hunter's mouth. "How do you feel after drinking the potion? Is there any change? For example, the body is lighter? The desire is more exuberant?"

"What?"

"There are some hormones in the potion, um, how to put it... Forget it, you don't understand it. But don't worry, for someone like you who fights with a sword, this is a good thing, because it will strengthen your muscles. And reaction speed. Didn't you beat those people up in the boxing match last night? It was wonderful."

"Huh?"

"I knew that we put the bet on you yesterday. After all, the female warrior who competed with you for the championship yesterday looked pretty good and had beaten her opponent with her fists for several rounds, and you still looked drunk. Who knows the result? You won. From now on, we will bet on the demon hunter."

Zelin suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Well, don't say so much, what effect does the potion have on you?"

"When I drink vodka, it's like drinking boiled water." Zelin paused and patted his hands. "Damn, I know why I didn't feel anything no matter how much I drank yesterday, and suddenly became unconscious. Is there an antidote to your **** potion? Otherwise, I won't experience the joy of drinking in the future."

"Uh, although not, but as long as you don't continue to take the potion, your body should adjust itself, and the recovery capacity of the demon hunter is far superior to ordinary people."

"I know, you don't need to say it again." Zelin moved his shoulders. "Okay, but tell me your names. If there is any other reaction, I will go to the academy to find you."

"No problem. My name is Harid and his name is Garpas, but before that, would you be willing to accept an employment commission?"

The Professor of Spectacles—or Harid—proposed. "We found a place where ancient secrets might be hidden. That place is underground, passing through the sewer of Lomugne. We hired a few helpers before, but they lost contact as soon as they entered the sewer. We had to hurry. I ran back and wanted to find a new helper. We have two partners who know how to deal with monsters, but they are not enough."
