The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Had it not been for contact with him in the past, it would be difficult to find him this time.

"Long time no see."

This lawyer knows that many demon hunters do not know but need very much information. After all, lawyers have many clients who do not want to be named, and most of these clients will reveal some valuable things in the commission. "You Are you still in Tamoria now?"

Zelin crouched on the hunting platform built by the elf hunter Sevik. This is a sloping banyan tree on the edge of the cliff. Hidden in the lush canopy of the banyan tree, you can see the camp of the White Rose Knights below. There are many tents and many horses. Several entourages of the Knights were taking water from a stream to clean their horses. Many soldiers were inside, enjoying their lunch around the bonfire. It seems that they have learned the lessons of previous fires. Their fires are very small and they are all surrounded by stones to prevent the flames from suddenly coming out and burning people.

Especially the suspected warehouses were built up with stones. They obviously thought that the flame was caused by the erratic wind in the river valley, and who would have thought that someone could do it within the range of anti-magical metal's influence.

"Please don't mind my vigilance. Nowadays, magic is not very safe. I can't reveal my position." The lawyer laughed. Who knows whether these customers are coming to me to solve the problem or to solve me. It must be said that talking to you makes me more at ease than talking to those anonymous people."

"I received your letter." After a few coughs, Curdin stared at the demon hunter with his brown eyes. The cat is gone. "I have to say, you scrolled too many things. I have several A customer is very interested in your current behavior. To be precise, they have shown no small interest in solving the White Rose Knights."

"But we are not being jabbed, Curdinger."

The White Rose Knights are not without enemies in Tamoria. Zelin hopes to get rid of those who attack them, but he doesn't want to choose a queue among those complicated and troubled politics. What they need is an environment that is free of interference, rather than blending into greater trouble.

"Of course, I understand what you mean. Don't forget, I am a lawyer, I am a lawyer with professional ethics." Zelin heard some voices, which sounded to be twiddled letters. "As a meeting ceremony, I will send you a message for free. . But in exchange, I also hope you can answer one of my questions as much as possible. Of course, if this confuses you, just forget him. It’s news about another demon hunter. Geralt, the demon hunter. , He asked a woman who claimed to be Milva to come to Dorian to find me. Of course, she must have only seen burned ruins. But according to my investigation, someone saw that Milva was related to the Squirrel Party and Dryad , She has been inquiring about news from the south, I guess your demon hunter friend may plan to cross the front line to the south."

"I got it."

Treant, this was not unexpected. Anyway, when the White Rose Knights is resolved, he will go to Brockleron, and it will be clear at that time.

"It seems that my news is of little value to you," the lawyer shook his head. "My question is very simple. This time, if there is a head-on conflict with the White Rose Knights, how sure are you?"

"Is this your problem, or the customer's problem?" Zelin didn't answer, but first asked, "Or one of your spare assets? Or bait?"

"Take it as my interest." The lawyer didn't reveal anything. "How much? This is the risk that the lawyer has to take, and at the same time consider and provide a set of suitable solutions for his clients. Three tiers? Or four tiers? "

"Would you believe it if I said the tenth floor?"

The lawyer looked at the demon hunter, and the demon hunter looked at the lawyer.

After a while, the lawyer smiled.

"I will send you what you want by a trustworthy messenger in about two days."

"No, it's not for me." Zelin shook his head. "Send things to Maribo. You know what I mean, and you know who to give them. I think the rest may be related to legal provisions, and you will Solved, right?"

"Of course, there won't be any problems." There was another page-turning voice. "I will leave the evidence you need in my stronghold in Island City, and you can go directly to get it at that time. I tracked down the Knights You might not believe the account of the Vevadi Bank. They have a sum of money from Montecavo Castle in Ridania, and I investigated this castle after the coup in Sunnid. There was a female warlock. Most of the funds under her account were mobilized to Montecavo Castle."

"Sorceress Philippa Erhardt?"

"Yes, it's her."

The lawyer said with certainty.

According to Tishaya’s previous letter, Philippa was planning a meeting place at her own castle in Redania, which was also confirmed by the flow of funds investigated by Curdin. However, Zelin didn't know if it came from Redania or Philippa himself for funding the White Rose Knights. After all, funding the knights allows them to fight against the men in black, and a powerful knight that will disobey the king's orders will also make Tamoria unstable.

"Besides, I got news through the bank. Someone tried to investigate whether you have an account in the Vivaldi Bank."

"I don't think they would have thought that we did not open any gold accounts in the Vevaldi Bank at all." They would investigate the northern banks, whether they were humans or dwarves, but the banks where the Ebins and the Demon Hunters traded are indeed. Kerviel in the South and the Far North "I will continue to contact you afterwards. Take care, don't die before this."

Zelin heard the footsteps of the elf Orion Sevik. The elf wearing a linen shirt dyed dark green came cautiously, carrying a wooden bow on his back. "These human patrols want Come here, you better leave, I will hide this place."

"No problem, trouble you."

"Just give them a lesson instead of us." Saivik nodded.

Chapter 647 Implementation Plan

Marty has been sleeping very restlessly recently.

Although the largest and most comfortable bed in Mahakam Castle described by the hunter is actually a single bed with half a layer of cotton quilt, it is soft and wide as she expected, made of mahogany and covered with silk sheets. The double bed is very different, but this is not the reason for her sleep. Looking at her cheek in the mirror, Marty stretched out her finger, and slightly put the ointment she refined on the corner of her eye. After making sure that there were no wrinkles or bruises in the corner of her eye, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good morning, doctor."

Yusevka rubbed his sleepy eyes, straightened up from the bed, and yawned slightly. During this period of time, she almost stayed by the bedside "my sister, she..."

"If there is no accident, I will wake up in a few days." Marty shook her hand. "Remember to take the medicine on time. Also, she needs to rest. It is estimated that she will not be able to get out of bed within half a month, and then it will take another month. Cultivation time, at least one month, during which there should be no strenuous exercise." She combed her hair, while explaining to Yusevka, "Of course, it depends on the physical condition, if it is good, the time can be shortened accordingly."

After Marty took out the contents of Young Yusevka's body by magic, she directly burned the thing with flames, and then washed her hands with clean water several times, by the way, the rubber used in the treatment The gloves burned out at the same time. Zelin had warned her before, not to leave anything after treatment, otherwise Marty really wanted to make a specimen of that strange thing and soak it in formalin.

"Also, her spirit has been traumatized. I have not studied the magic in this area. I can only wait for her to recover slowly. A quiet environment is conducive to..."

Before Marty could finish speaking, a loud noise outside the castle interrupted her.

"Well, when I didn't say anything." With a sigh, Marty has been quite familiar with the explosions that sounded from time to time since he arrived. Who knows what experiments these demon hunters are doing, I can only hope that these explosions will not blow her up to the sky with her bed while she is asleep before she ends her visit and returns to Goss Willen. "What the **** is that? Something? Is it a device used to launch a demon hunter bomb? I see flames. It must be saltpeter, right?"

"This is artillery. It is indeed used for launching." As a Yanan resident, Yusevka must have more knowledge of artillery than Marty, but only a little more. "But that appearance is too small, and ......" She looked out through the window "It's not the same as my impression, but rest assured, this thing won't blow up the castle."

"Do you think this thing is really useful?" On the wall of the castle, Reso came from afar, looking at the strange weapon fixed on the tower, and said buzzingly, "The sound of a trebuchet is nothing more than a trebuchet. "Resso came from Esteberg, east of Mahakam, where it is now occupied by the Imperial Legion. There is no war, and he hasn't encountered much trouble along the way, except for smoothly killing a few short-sighted roadblockers. Outside.

"Yes, but there is no place for ballistas and catapults on our walls."

The artillery was made according to the design drawings that Zelin brought back from Rome. Although he had seen how the artillery was used in the past, it was really put in his hands and he had not used it. As for the hand cannon he got in Ahagul, that thing has some reference value.

"The Oren coins spent on this thing can buy several ballistas made by Vizima's official craftsmen." Resso shook his head. "It's a flashy thing. It's better to make more bombs and give me enough materials. I want to make it." A special north wind bomb."

"No problem, I think there should still be enough coins and time to buy some materials. The elves in the forest are willing to sell the herbs and materials they collect." They need magic materials and herbs. Since they came here, they lived near the floating port to get elves. Hunters often went to the castle to sell some materials they collected during hunting to subsidize the family. "I should have some coins left here, probably Can..."

"No, I'm bringing something for you."

Resso took out a cloth bag tied with a string, he let go, and the cloth bag fell on the wooden crate beside the artillery. The clink of metal clinking indicated that it was full of coins.

"This is the immigrant of Towson who gave it to us at the end of this year." Resso pulled the string away, and under the sun, different gold coins and silver coins flashed dazzlingly. "According to our previous agreement, this is the part given to you. You can count."

Zelin glanced at him. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and then withdrew his gaze again. "It's good, it doesn't seem to be that tight." While looking at the instructions on the design drawing, he held the artillery barrel with the other hand. "You Going to make a north wind bomb? Remember to bring me some saltpeter back."

This artillery is not just to deal with the White Rose Knights that is about to attack, more importantly, in the future, the demon hunters will choose their headquarters in a castle, but not just for living, just like the headquarters of the Knights is a castle, safe and Resist attack, otherwise it is just for living, the castle is definitely not as good as those in the city's union headquarters or suburban manor. Especially in winter, when the mountain is covered by heavy snow, the rest of the castle is cold like an ice cellar except near the fireplace.

Standing on the wall and looking out, the wizards of Winterhold College are laying magic rune traps on the rocks and trees on both sides of the mountain road. The Eternal Fire believes in their anti-magical metals. The church has enough gold coins in the far north. Purchase a large amount of Dimo ​​Gold Ore. Zelin only hoped that after this, the church people would continue to believe in the effect of anti-magical metal.

"Do you have a defense plan?"

Looking into the distance, Resso asked Zelin, "We need a plan. Relying on these traps to weaken the enemy halfway? This is not enough, not enough. The castle is close to the mountains, we don’t have to worry about being besieged, but traps are impossible. Destroy half of the enemy’s people. Even if there are five hundred people left, they can let some of us entangle us, and the rest will rush into the castle to destroy it."

"Yes, plan." Zelin touched his chin. "But it's not a defense plan."

"What do you mean?"

"It's not a defensive plan." Zelin walked to Reso, pointed at him, and then pointed to himself. "It's an offensive plan. You and I, we have to take the initiative to attack, instead of staying in place and disguising ourselves as a hedgehog."

"Interesting." Reso squinted slightly, his sharp eyes indeed resembling a poisonous snake. "When?"

"Tonight."

"Target?"
