The Journey of the Demon Hunter
Chapter 347
As soon as he walked into the town, Zelin heard the source of the noise. The eternal fire, their iconic brazier, and the missionaries preaching loudly in the square. It is the afternoon. There are not many locals in the town. Most of them are fishing at the wharf and the river outside. Some people are working in the logging yard outside the city. Most of the people around the missionaries are leisure businesses and some idle businesses. People.
"Think about it, good people, why are there so many monsters and non-human races harassing the floating harbor, the underground man-eaters, the evil elves hiding in the forest, but the glorious Novigrad has no monsters and non-human races. Human beings, people can live and work in peace under the sun, precisely because the light of the eternal fire protects Novigrad at all times!"
Zelin shook his head after listening to the missionary's words.
"If the most densely populated human settlements would be filled with monsters like the newly opened floating port area, humans would have been done for a long time." He said to George, "I guess the light of the eternal fire will not shine on the sewers and promises. Vigre’s Biz District.” Biz District, the most chaotic city in Novigrad, is crowded with brothels, low-level casinos, and vendors. It is also a paradise for beggars and underground gangs. It is said that there are still many gangsters. The place where the anesthetic powder is traded, and the sewers in the Biz District are full of water ghosts, these monsters crawling in from the Novigrad Wharf along the drainage pipe.
On the stage, the missionaries were telling the audience what a glorious place Novigrad is under the blessing of the eternal fire. Everyone is well-fed and well-educated. With the help of the eternal fire, everyone can do well. Have a relaxed, pleasant and decent job, as well as remuneration that the townspeople of the floating port can't even think of. Of course, there is security. The humans in Novigrad are under the protection of absolute security, and the eternal fire protects them from being attacked by the Squirrel Party.
Obviously, the missionary only believed that the residents of Novigrad with a population of less than 1,000 in the upper city were Novigrad. As for the residents of the lower city and villages outside the city, he might have forgotten it accidentally.
"If the Squirrel Party is strong enough to attack Novigrad, they can take down any city in the northern kingdom." Zelin walked along the edge of the square, and two patrol soldiers looked at the two men with weapons. But after seeing their eyes and the badge on their chest, they left.
Since Foltest admitted that the documents of the demon hunters' activities in Temalia were sent to Mahakam by the royal messenger, one of the most obvious benefits is that the local soldiers will not deliberately make trouble for them. Passes and entrance fees are the best way to blackmail these travelers, not to mention the demon hunters, who are already dangerous in the eyes of many people, only need to draw out their swords to give them a reason for arrest.
This is why most demon hunters are active in the countryside.
"Extremely biased speech, you only need to think about it for a while to understand that he is deliberately misleading." George looked at the missionaries on the square displeased.
"Yes, you just need to think about it a little bit." Zelin shrugged. "But someone will skip the most important link." He looked around, "Did you notice? Some people are watching us." Although floating. The stay in Hong Kong is not long, but it has been two and a half years since Zelin came to Mahakam. In such a humid place, wearing a cloak and hood is not a wise choice. Unless they want to cover something.
"I saw it." George replied, "So many people? Fifteen White Rose Knights, and these, what are they planning to do?"
"It's just right." Zelin nodded. "They're all here."
In the square, the missionaries were still yelling.
"People build walls to resist monsters, but the walls can only block part of the monsters in the wilderness, and there are more monsters. They will not be blocked outside. They swaggered and swaggered through the market. Those non-human monsters still have variants. Walking into human settlements with infectious diseases and plagues, they stole things that should belong to humans. Without these freaks, human life would be better. For example, these greedy mutants!"
Zelin noticed that the dwarf blacksmith in the blacksmith's shop beside the square took a bite, and the hammer in his hand slammed on the iron felt.
"But priest, if we don't have demon hunters, we can't deal with the monsters outside?" At this time, a townsman asked, "Without these demon hunters, we have to hide behind the wall and pray that the monsters won't find a gap and crawl in. At the beginning of the floating port, you can hear the creeping sounds of monsters outside the house when you sleep."
"Do you really think these mutants will help you kill monsters? Don't be stupid, these mutants and monsters are all together! Mutants rely on killing monsters for a living, so they don't want the monsters to be killed, think about it. Well, good people, how can anyone want to cut off their way of making money? These mutants are definitely not really helping you, they are just cheating of your money, trying to abduct your children, and then using witchcraft and potions Your children have also become monsters just like them!"
The missionary opened his arms.
"Only mankind will truly help mankind. Only these noble and heroic knights will help people threatened by darkness and monsters. Under the eternal fire, they will be all disadvantaged. Even the monsters that hide themselves the most will be in front of them. There is nowhere to hide!"
Zelin didn't know if the White Rose Knights really thought that they would nod to the brazier to protect themselves from being slapped into canned meat sauce by the devil. But this does seem to give them some courage, but I don't know whether this courage comes from the eternal fire they believe in or whether it is crowded.
"Look, right here, the light of the eternal fire shines into the darkness of this town!" The missionary accused the demon hunters on the edge of the square. "Look, these mutants carrying infectious diseases are walking on our land. Go on, spread diseases and plagues to good people. But don’t worry, under the light of eternal fire, these monsters have no power. The noble knights who believe in eternal fire will let these monsters only hide in their lairs and In the shadows!"
Following the missionary's words, several heavily armed White Rose Knights gathered around.
Seeing the situation here, people have stepped aside. Anyone with a brain realizes what might happen here, and no one wants to be affected. However, after about ten steps, people walked away and stopped at the edge of the square, looking at the bustling scene.
Chapter 630 The Fool
"The knights of the eternal fire will let you see clearly what these evil mutants look like in private! They are just a group of monsters, just dressed in human skin!"
The missionary seemed very satisfied that his speech attracted so many people, attracted enough audiences, and then temporarily White Rose Knight's power in front of everyone, and then returned to the blessing of eternal fire. Very standard way, just like the way the Eternal Fire Church used to deal with non-human races, catch them, then force them to admit that they are connected to many bad things that happen in the city, and then burn them to death in public and declare the eternal fire The ray of light dissipated another shadow.
They were all wearing armor and crimson overcoats, and the left shoulder of the overcoat was embroidered with a white rose mark. The surrounding townspeople stepped aside, not only the locals, but most of the sailors and adventurers who like to watch the excitement. Recently, in the rainforest of Floating Harbor, someone discovered a relic of elves hidden among vines and weeds, so that the adventurer who almost disappeared after Mayor Bennard came to power appeared again.
"Your witchcraft will not threaten us!" The preacher triumphantly shook his hand with a pendant carved like an eternal fire. Evil!"
"This is not your lair, mutant, you are not welcome here! Hand over that **** witch, and get out of here!"
The leading knight has a scar on his face, which spreads from his forehead to his chin. This makes his face really dangerous, but it is just a pity that this knight is from the standing position or the position of his hands. All show that he is not good at fighting at all. At a distance of two meters, Zelin could put him to the ground before the opponent reacted and started drawing his sword.
"I'm thinking, when will the loan shark's son become a knight?" Zelin squinted his eyes and looked at him. "Oh, I'm sorry, I was wrong. You joined the Knights by earning yourself. Money, right? As long as you grab a thousand crowns and hand them to the Knights’ treasury, you will be spared your sins and get a knighthood. The times have changed so fast. When is the time when rich robbers can become knights."
"Shut your mouth, mutant, how dare you insult an honorable knight like this!" another younger knight yelled, and threw his coat and cloak behind his shoulders, revealing the carved patterns and gorgeous edges. Inlaid armor, the edge of the armor is inlaid with some anti-magic metal decorations. It seems that after being burned by a missionary by Frid last time, they really thought Frid was a witch in their impression, "I want to fight you! You used blood to wash away the shame!"
He took off his gloves and threw them in front of the demon hunter.
"Come on, mutant! Under the light of the eternal fire, let everyone take a look at what disgusting look you are! Drink the potion of the witch in your hand and change it back to your original Looks like!"
Zelin looked down at the glove thrown in front of him.
"Don't litter, young man."
Zelin doesn't care about the fifteen knights, but he cares about another thing. Few people know that the ugly appearance is due to drinking potions and decoctions. In fact, most people have never seen the look of a demon hunter after drinking a potion. No one would want to be in a demon hunter. Watching the battle when you have to drink the potion usually means a powerful and difficult enemy.
When will these White Rose knights learn about Demon Hunters?
Did someone tell them? That must be someone who understands the real demon hunter.
The eternal fire came prepared, not just these knights, Zelin suspected that there must be more of them hidden near the floating port. Frid's thing just made them start their actions ahead of time.
"You are afraid to fight the knight, have you seen it! The mutant is terrified in front of the eternal fire!" a knight shouted, "Today, let the eternal fire come to judge, let the eternal fire come to judge here! Arrest him! There are his accomplices!"
The remaining ten knights rushed up immediately and made a circle. There was a sound of long swords being unsheathed, and the cold light of sword blades flashed in the square. For a while, people around who wanted to watch the excitement fled. Zelin heard a woman screaming. Someone ran into a stall outside the square, and the ceramic pots on it knocked over to the ground. The women took the children home, and there was a sound of banging doors and windows closing.
The demon hunter saw that the leading knight wanted to draw out the sword together, but this knight sword with a gilt sheath was too long. He didn't draw it out after several times, and finally coughed a few times and shook it. The rod is straighter.
Zelin sighed and said to the young knight, "You know I will take your sword and beat you hard." The demon hunter took two steps forward. "But it's a pity, discipline you. Your mother was supposed to do it. I think she might be too busy, so I can only do it." He looked around with a spear, staring at the town guards on the edge of the square. "And what At that time the floating port will be ruled by the White Rose Knights?"
After all, Zelin looked towards the side of the town near the river bank. The building there looks like a fort, but in fact it has the same function as a fort. It is the mayor’s place and the town’s guard station.
"Go to hell, mutant!"
The young knight swung his sword with all his strength and slashed at Zelin. Zelin did not draw out his weapon, nor did he use the seal, he just turned sideways gently, and the knight's sword was just wiping it down in front of him. Zelin stretched his feet forward slightly, just enough to make the young knight stand unsteadily, and fell to the ground with a snap, just falling onto his sword. He wailed and covered his face, curled up, obviously in pain.
"Let's go together..."
The leading knight backed two steps and shouted to the others.
However, before he finished shouting, he heard a scream of ghost crying and wolf howling from behind. The missionary didn't know when there was a fire on his clothes. He was worshipping the brazier of the eternal fire, but the brazier on the table suddenly flew up and hit him with a snap. The priest still had a pendant in his hand, but it was a pity that this pendant was of no use to him.
"Hurry up and put out the fire! Hurry up!"
All of a sudden, the knights ran to the missionary and began to use various things to try to extinguish the flames on his body. In the chaos, Zelin saw Frid passing by behind the house at the corner of the square.
"It seems that the eternal fire can't see these believers." Zelin shrugged and said to George. "Let's go. Let's meet the soldiers you mentioned. I thought they would also appear."
"They are in a non-human settlement, and Bennard does not allow heavily armed soldiers to live inside the city walls."
Zelin made a gesture in Frid's direction and turned and followed George to the non-human community in the floating harbor.
Chapter 631 Mission Impossible
"I think someone is cooperating with Eternal Fire, a guy who knows demon hunters."
Stepping on the wet and muddy streets of Fugang Town, looking around, the outskirts of the town seem to be integrated with the nearby rainforest. The houses made of logs are covered with vines, the green leaves of the creeper are rippling like waves with the wind blowing in the rainforest, the streets and corners of the houses, there are still morning dew on the lush green grass, everywhere. Visible moss dotted the walls made of white stones. On the huge sycamore tree in the distance, people set up platforms and began to build platforms on the trees, on which clothes of unknown origin were dried.
"Maybe it's just a renegade warlock." George said as he walked through the houses in the floating harbor with the demon hunter. Save your life and seek the asylum of the Church of Eternal Fire."
