The Journey of the Demon Hunter
Chapter 348
This is indeed possible, but Zelin felt that it might not be that simple.
When he walked to the soldier's house, he found that it was a converted warehouse.
"Remember the dwarf blacksmith who did business with us? He rented his warehouse to us." George explained to Zelin.
But before they walked over, they heard the quarrel coming from the warehouse. I saw several town guards standing in front of the door carrying weapons, arguing with a soldier in chain armor. The soldier kept talking, but the guard was just shaking his head.
"What's the matter, Willis?"
George went over, walked between the town guard and the soldier, and asked the soldier.
"Master Demon Hunter, this person does not allow us to leave this house." The soldier named Willis nodded to George, "You have to accept their knowledge if you want to leave the house! Ha, they don't go to the market to watch the thief , In turn, monitor us."
"I said." The soldier was chewing on the foxtail, not knowing whether he was bored or hungry. "You don't have a permit. As long as there are more than three people, you can't wander around the floating harbor with weapons without a permit. Give us your weapons and armor for safekeeping."
"I haven't heard of this rule before."
"Yes, this rule has been implemented since this morning." The soldier cast a blank look. "Don't ask me about the rules. If you have any questions, go to Mayor Bennard. I don't know anything."
"But they have a permit." Zelin walked over and looked at the other person's eyes, hiding his right hand behind him, making a gesture of the Yaxifah seal, and his pale yellow eyes lit up slightly. "And they have already shown it to you. Follow the rules, it's time for you to leave."
"Uh, oh, yeah, I really thought I've seen it..." The town guard scratched his head and spit out the setaria from his mouth. "Oh, yes, we should go." He turned to face The two guards behind waved. They carried their spears and walked to the other side of the street.
"When have we checked the permits of these people?" one of the town guards asked.
"Don't worry about so many, if you want to fight with these people, I won't stop you." Another bald guard patted his colleague on the back. "You have never seen how powerful these demon hunters kill monsters. Nie ghost, when we go in to clean up the mess, there will be all the blood of the evil ghost. Can you be better than those monsters?"
There are also some spare iron tools stacked in the warehouse, and there are several long wooden crates in the corners, which are full of neat iron ingots. These soldiers laid a floor on the wooden floor of the warehouse, but the floating port has always been wet, and it is not a comfortable thing to have someone on the floor.
There are seven Adenian soldiers, six men and one woman. Their black iron armor covered with scratches and dust also has a three-color badge of black, gold and red. This is the emblem of the special forces of the Kingdom of Aden, a group directly under the German government. King Mawen’s army is similar to Tamoria’s blue iron guards, but it is clear that De Mawen directly abandoned these outstanding fighters.
"It's nice to meet you, Master Demon Hunter."
"The people in the floating port are targeting us." George said. "They are blind to the White Rose Knight, but they have been blocking people related to us. Even now, I bet someone is watching here on the other side of the street."
"That Mayor Bennard will not help the Knights of the White Rose and the Eternal Fire for no reason." Zelin shook his head. "They must have spent a lot of money. I stayed in the floating port for a long time. ·Rogliedo I knew him when he was the commander of the floating port garrison. I can say that as long as the price is enough for him, he can bring soldiers to join any country or help anyone."
He looked at these soldiers.
"What are your plans next? Stay here? Or go to Temoria?"
"Master George saved our lives. We will stay here for a while to repay him, and then go to Temoria to join the newly formed legion." Another soldier said, he seemed to be called Bryce by others." King Foltest of Tamoria is enlisting troops throughout the north. He has formed a new legion in Vizima. We may go to Vizima to sign up or join the Freedom Legion directly. The mercenary army hired by Altest had just fought with the Nilfgard in Mayena, and the men in black left three thousand corpses and retreated."
"I'm glad you can stay and help at this time."
No matter what Eternal Fire intends to do in the Floating Harbor, it is too whimsical to rely on more than a dozen knights and a few believers to attack the demon hunter castle in the valley. Moreover, this is a dense forest area. Most of the belief in Eternal Fire remains in places with fewer monsters, because there, they don't need to deal with monsters, but only need to deal with some scattered non-human races. These missionaries are not fanatics, just as they dare not go to the dominion of the dwarves or the place where a large number of elves live, no matter what they claim.
After all, this is not profitable, and it may die.
"We have to figure out what these people of the eternal fire are doing." George looked out the window. "I don't think the people of the Knights are allowed to protect the missionaries just to say in this floating port where half of the non-human races live. Nonsense."
"Yes, we have to solve them."
Zelin would never rest assured that there would be people with eternal fire in the town below the castle. If he could, he hoped that he would never see these people in his sight.
"But we must first figure out their intentions. No, not just these missionaries and knights, but what the Eternal Fire Church intends to do."
Chapter 632 The Third Person
The location of the floating port is more sensitive.
Not only is it located at the junction of the four northern countries, but it is also close to the largest non-human race territory on the whole continent. The dwarves of Mahakam have been able to protect their mountains in the world for thousands of years, not just relying on them. Forging and mining skills, the power of the dwarf legion is enough to influence the course of many wars and turn this mountain into a real fortress.
The eternal fire went to the town at the foot of the mountain to preach the burning of evil non-human races, and burn to death the dwarves born in the darkness in their mouths?
In the past, the Eternal Fire Church never considered sending missionaries to the floating port area, or anywhere near Mahakam, because there must be at least half of the dwarven residents living there, and there must be dwarven soldiers on the mountain not far away. Elder Hogg, who has not known how long he has lived, has a strong sense of territoriality. He will bow his head to the king of Tamoria, but he will never allow any Tamorian army to step into Mahakam.
"It may be because Elder Hogg has sent out his Mahakam volunteers recently."
The dwarf blacksmiths in Floating Harbor know the local situation best, after all, even demon hunters would not stay here every day. However, since they started to place notice boards in towns and villages within three days of the castle, the commissions they received have indeed grown a lot, although many of them were commissions asking how to avoid military service. This also makes it impossible for many people to stay in the castle often or train those apprentices.
While pulling the bellows, the dwarf blacksmith said to the demon hunter. The blacksmith's apprentice seemed to have left something. He was busy alone, and the apron in front of him was covered with coal ash.
"Some time ago, they also customized a batch of breastplates from me. I heard that they repelled the attack of a cavalry corps of men in black near the Qiaote River. I hope that the breastplates I made can hold a few good ones. The life of the boy, but those of the eternal fire, they can do anything besides buzzing like flies." The blacksmith wiped the sweat from his forehead. Come back? I made a sword and I want to compare it with her. She won't join the army, right? Now many young men in the north are going to Vizima, and the girls from the temple are also going to be doctors with the army."
"She... temporarily goes home and has something to deal with." Zelin didn't know how to describe this behavior of going back to study. "Should be back soon." Gnaiya said that she just went back to study the way of howling. , There will be no other troubles.
"Well, it must be the brothers in the family to join the army? The Nilfgard forced us to do this. If Tamoria can't stop them, the man in black hits the Ponta River, I might also want to. Going to join the army." The blacksmith sighed. "The Kingdom of Verdon surrendered. As a result, the people in black robbed the local farmers of all their food, and forced them to go to the field to build roads. Winter was coming soon, and they were killing them in disguise. Locals. I don't want them to come to the floating port at all."
Many of Mahakam’s troops have left. If this is the case, or the Church of Eternal Fire intends to take advantage of the void when the dwarves and the northern kingdom are fighting the Nilfgaard Empire? This makes sense. After all, there are a lot of mineral deposits near the Mahakam Mountains, not to mention the floating port, this small town where almost half of the river trade passes through. Bringing these places into the sphere of influence of the church will bring more benefits than lighting a few braziers in other places to collect some donations.
Not long after leaving the smithy, Zelin saw Frid.
"They live outside the city and there is a camp." The nun said just as they met. She stroked the scythe given to her by the demon hunter. "A good weapon, when do you do it?" Frid sat on the pier. Along the river bank, you could see the camp of the White Rose Knights in the distance. Distant place. From time to time, several fishermen who were fishing by the river looked over here, but at this distance, Zelin was sure that they would not hear anything.
"They can't have only these people." Zelin looked at the camp over there. The knights and missionaries were all in the tent. Only two knights looked outside. "What else?"
After thinking about it for a while, the nun said, "The day before yesterday, there was a boat with many people coming down, and no one returned when the boat left." She rolled her eyes and thought about it, "About fifty people, maybe more."
"I think that camp may not fit so many people."
"They entered the forest." The cold blade reflected the colder eyes under the hood. "There may have been other people before. I killed three people near the castle and they tried to climb the outer wall."
"What about the corpse?"
"Throw it into the monster's nest." Frid pressed hard with both hands and clicked, and the sickle folded back into a one-handed blade. "This morning, before you left, I found someone in the forest near the castle and found this on him. Something." The nun reached into her clothes and took out a note. Zelin took it, half of the blood was stained on the note, and Frid had never been merciful to the enemy.
"It's something of eternal fire." Although covered by blood, Zelin still saw the sign of eternal fire on the note. It's just that compared to the things on the note, this sign is insignificant. I saw a lot of information related to the demon hunters, their battles, bombs and potions, as well as sight and hearing at night, as well as the precautions needed when investigating the castle, including many descriptions of the potions. , Listed a few of the potions of the color that the demon hunter will get after drinking. For example, don't approach at night after the demon hunter drinks a certain brown potion, because the mutants' eyesight at night will become as good as during the day.
Surprisingly, they are basically right.
In addition, there is a description of the French seal. Although there are only Quinn and Alder above, they are enough to make people wary.
"We must know where the Eternal Fire Church got this message."
"The female screenwriter who often comes to the castle to collect materials?" Frid was referring to Ess Davan, but Zelin shook his head.
"It's impossible for Aisi to know this. She only read the monster illustration book we wrote." Zelin put the note away. "If you can know this, it should be a demon hunter."
"Shall we do it?" Frid lowered her eyes. She suddenly waved the weapon in her hand. An octopus that wanted to stretch out the tentacles from the bottom of the river to wrap around the nun's calf was chopped off, and the broken tentacles fell back into the water with a crash .
"Let's find them hiding in the forest first." Zelin squinted at the camp in the distance. "You watch them here, Frid, you can stay invisible and go in and listen to what they are talking about."
"I'm here, you go find the enemy, what about the castle?"
"I will find another helper." Zelin waved his hand and took two steps. He suddenly thought of something. "Oh, by the way, if you see the helper I got, remember not to fight her."
Frid looked at the Demon Hunter, then looked at the knights camp over there again, "I see."
