The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Sorry, I don't have time now." Zelin stood up, squeezed the carnival crowd, and walked to the two chatting people. The gang girl looked at the direction Zelin was walking towards, lifted her riding boots and kicked off the chair in front of her, taking a bite.

"What the **** is this, unfortunately."

Chapter 815 Falka

To Zelin who suddenly came to ask them about the Rat Gang and Berhart, the two local villagers seemed very alert. But not much wariness caused by strangeness can be maintained after a few glasses of beer. Zelin would not be so stupid as to take money to ask them questions. This would only make the two villagers realize that they had some kind of news that Zelin desperately wanted to know, a news that could make them earn a lot of money. After being pitted as a foreigner for food, his unwillingness to do it does not mean that he is willing to be pitted a second time.

"If you want to find the Rat Gang, you can go to the nearby merchant's union. The merchant Housepan and the leader of the Rat Gang know each other. This is an open secret, so the Rat Gang will not rob them. Goods."

Spirits can quickly pry open a person's mouth and make their tongue tingle. This has a certain risk. If the drinker is not drunk, it will become very troublesome if he is put down by the alcohol first. However, Zelin had a way of cheating, and his wife's tears made him sober as if he had never drunk alcohol after drinking a bottle of strong alcohol.

"Where can I find the headquarters of the merchant union?"

Zelin looked at the two farmers who were a little confused, and asked his questions cautiously. He can eavesdrop on other people's conversations, and other people can also eavesdrop on his conversations. Zelin was still not sure that Falka in the Rat Gang was the one he wanted to find. This was a clue, and before the clue was confirmed, he didn't want to be thought to be related to the Rat Gang.

"Are you a foreigner who came here to try your luck? Yes, there is gold everywhere in the north." As a northerner, I heard that Nilfgard called Aibin the north. Hiring a few people who can wield swords and catching slaves behind the army can make you a lot of money. Clement is the headquarters of the Merchants’ Union in Ebin, where they have a castle and one A private army armed with hundreds of people."

Merchants’ Union, Zelin remembered his description of this organization when he was talking to young merchants. This is a group of people who believe in free market trade. Sometimes they may go too far and go beyond local laws to make their own trade rules. However, the money in their hands was enough for the empire to make certain concessions in exchange for more military spending, especially after the outbreak of the Northern War, Enhill made more concessions for military spending, and even built a castle. Rights and judicial power in the union castle.

"This sounds very dangerous. Let these businessmen hire soldiers to protect themselves?"

Hauspen, he has a way to contact the Rat Gang. He had better determine whether the young girl who suddenly appeared in the Rat Gang is Xili. Geralt believes that Hope is in danger and is with a group of gang members. He has no reason to give up such obvious clues.

"If you have the money to buy a kingdom, and the whole empire knows that you have this money, you will be careful." The farmer laughed and took another sip, but was choked by strong alcohol and turned around. He fell to the ground with a thud and fell asleep.

"Fortunately, I don't have one." Zelin shrugged. He glanced at the half bottle of spirits in his hand and placed it on a nearby table. Not two steps after he walked out, the wine bottle disappeared in the blink of an eye. He squeezed out of the crowd, bypassed the bonfire burning in the middle of the village and the crazy crowd, and walked out of the gate of the village fence. The two militiamen are still standing guard here, but their eyes have long shifted from the outside to the inside of the village, seeming to be thinking about what else they can do when they change their shifts.

The cool air made him feel a lot more comfortable.

Find a local militiaman and ask about the way to the nearby merchant's headquarters. The town is not far from the village. He can see the outermost houses of the town the next morning. This area is the site of the Nisser Gang. He doesn't have to think about troubles on the way. Except for a thief when he squeezed out the crowd, he didn't encounter other problems along the way.

When he walked into the border of the town until the next morning, he saw the castle at a glance. Among the many buildings built with stones and painted with white mortar, the castle made of blue-gray stones is particularly conspicuous.

"Do you want to find Horst?" The building in front of the merchant’s union castle is like a town hall. In fact, its scale is even bigger than the town hall. Had it not been reminded, the demon hunter would really think that this The city was run by people from the merchants’ union, and the people in the city hall were their employees.

"Why?" The employee raised his eyes. "In principle, you should not ask about the whereabouts of union members."

"I have a letter." Zelin shook his hand the letter that Aibin asked him to bring to his teacher. "This is a member of your chamber of commerce. He is a friend of Horst. He hopes that I can help with this letter. Give the letter to his friend and hand it to him personally. After putting this letter in Horst's hands, I will return to the vicinity of the Yarra River as soon as possible. "This is how the Yarraga River is called among the southern population." Time is running out, I want to see him."

"Then you did not come at the right time." The employees of the merchant union did almost the same thing as the city hall employees. The union almost took over the city, but the taxes they paid to the Imperial Governor were also very impressive. The local Governor seemed to be right. Who manages the land outside of his castle doesn’t care. "He left here ten days ago and went to Forgeham to talk about business, and he may have left Forgeham now."

It's terrible.

"Where will he settle on the road?"

"There is a post." The employee took out a map, five silver MARK coins, marking the villages, post, roads and swamps in this area, and the swamps were specially marked with the word danger. This is a map sold to outsiders, even if it's a hall for handling affairs, they don't forget to put up items that can be sold. No one will sell maps in the north, which is tantamount to telling the enemy's attack route, "The local Baron Kassadin has issued a reward. You can make money with the two swords behind you."

He took out a piece of paper with the heads of seven people painted on it. The names of the rat gang members are written below, and everyone's head can go to the baron's castle in exchange for one hundred Franconian coins. He has seen the appearance of the rat gang members one by one, the wanted order looks a little dirty, obviously it has been drawn for a long time, but in the end, Zelin's gaze stops on the last wanted order, which is the latest wanted order with the drawing on it. The seventh member of the Rat Gang.

Falka.

She looked almost the same as Hiri.

Chapter 816 The Hunter of Tracking

Xili's appearance is slightly more mature than her age, thanks to the mushrooms and herbal juices she drank in Kelmohan, and the person who painted the wanted order obviously hasn't seen Xili in person. Some places were distorted, but Zelin could recognize them. As for the name Falka, Zelin also knew the name. This is the name of the **** Foca in the south. The blood of the elder is flowing into the royal family of Tamoria and Sintra in that **** rebellion.

Below the portrait, the price is also written, one hundred Franconian coins.

"Can you give me a wanted warrant?"

"No, this is to be posted on the city hall notice board." The employee tactfully rejected Zelin's request. "It takes five francs to draw such a portrait. We can't give away anything made at public expense at will. "

So the demon hunter spent five Fronds to buy this wanted warrant.

There are already people who are wanted for the Rat Gang, to be exact, for their heads. A local baronial owner, Baron Kassadin, who manages a castle and several villages, issued such a wanted, but behind it was the local Governor of Amarillo. Demon hunters did not doubt that they could fail with hired killers. Later, a heavy cavalry was summoned to encircle and suppress these gang members.

In particular, it is obvious that someone tried to do it before the emperor’s amnesty order came out. One hundred Franco coins, and the seven members of the Rat Gang are seven hundred Francs. You know, the ratio of Franco coins to Krona coins is one to ten. Seven thousand crowns, you can buy a large manor in the best place in Novigrad, with a three-story loft, and then live under the service of a group of servants for several years.

Zelin did not stay long in this town built by the merchant’s union castle. He bought enough food, filled the kettle, bought some horse fodder, and rode his horse at noon to go there. Inn.

The station is near a shallow stream, surrounded by a small fence. This place is almost the same as the crossroads inn in the north, maybe it is a different name. There are a few carriages parked in front of the post, all of which are painted with a purple arrow with a forked front. This is another strange agreement in the empire that is not written on legal documents. It is called a safe passage sign. Within seven days from one day, the sign of safe passage is a purple forked arrow.

The imperial army has no time to deal with the gangs wandering in the wilderness. The safe passage sign means that this is a pedestrian protected by the imperial authorities. Gang members cannot act on them, nor can they rob them, otherwise the local Nilfgard garrison will Will take time to clean them up. The standards for obtaining a safe passage sign are also very strange. Sometimes it is a businessman, sometimes a quartermaster, and sometimes it is a scholar who conducts field academic investigations and wandering artists and craftsmen.

By the carriage, there was still some luggage piled up. A woman and a child were carrying things on the horse while counting what was missing. After seeing Zelin walking in on horseback, the woman immediately took the child and hid in the backyard.

Zelin rode in and walked in. He noticed that there was a small grave inside the fence of the post station. It was a newly built grave. The color of the soil was obviously different from the surroundings. Someone died in the post recently. A tombstone board made of white birch was erected on the head of the grave. Through this Zelin, he knew that the person buried here was the assistant of the post boss.

He opened the door and walked into the post. The boss of the post was on the counter. There were not a few people inside. After seeing the demon hunter walking in with the sword on his back, the innkeeper steadily wiped the table, and then began to be nonchalant again. He wiped the table as if to wipe the wooden table with glass. However, his stiff movements showed that he didn't want to see a stranger carrying a sword walk into his post.

"I'm here to find someone."

Zelin walked to the counter and asked the innkeeper who had been wiping the counter with his head down, "Did you see a businessman named Houster passing by?"

"No."

The about forty-year-old boss said in a loud voice. He still lowered his head and raised his eyes from time to time to look at the hilt of the sword protruding from behind Zelin's shoulder, "I have never seen anyone."

Zelin sighed softly, "Listen, I don't plan to do anything here. This is a very important thing. I have to find this merchant because I am tracking the rat gang." The demon hunter took the wanted order. He came out and shook in front of the innkeeper. Although there was only one Falka's wanted notice, it also made the innkeeper's eyes light up.

"Are you a bounty hunter?"

Zelin shrugged noncommitantly. "I'm looking for this businessman named Horst, who is said to be in contact with the Rat Gang."

"I have seen the Horst you mentioned, and the rat gang. They came to the inn ten days ago. The rat gang, you have seen the wanted order, you must know them, four men and three women, a total of seven people." The boss said excitedly, the fat on his face was shaking slightly. "They just broke in like that, then killed my assistant Aldous, and locked my family in the cellar and occupied the post. Then came again. I found a young businessman, probably the Horst you mentioned. They talked for a while, and then the Rat Gang left. I can only bury the poor Aldous and get a car with a safe passage sign Carriage, ready to move."

"They started killing as soon as they came in?"

"Aldous wanted to drive them away, and then one of the half-elves swung a sword across his chest." The innkeeper looked dim. "I should stop him. He is a good man with a sense of justice."

"I'm sorry for your loss, but do you know where they are going?"

Zelin asked.

"I saw their horseshoe prints, it should be in the direction of Forgeham, but there is a fork in the road ahead, one to Gilexi and the other to Fano Town." The innkeeper reached out and marked it on Zelin's map." Birka is far from here." He added.

"Thank you for your assistance." Zelin looked at the map and thanked the boss. The demon hunter can only hope that he is not late, or that these rat gang members can be a little more rational. But then he gave up the idea, if they were all sane people, they wouldn't be members of the gang.

"Also, there are riders from the Leon Gang nearby. Be careful, they may attack you."

"I know, I will try to keep them like this again." Zelin nodded, turned and walked out of the post, mounted his horse, and drove towards the direction of Fano Town according to the road pointed out by the post owner.
