Chapter 174, Demon Hunter Abel

Ryan and Olika looked at each other. It was a bit strange that a witcher would come to him, but it would not be so strange if he was just a microphone or came to pick up the task.

"Master, you'd better take a look. It's okay on my side." The dark elf said weakly. She just broke her body last night, and now she is inconvenient to move. In addition, Ryan has not stopped since the beginning, Ollie The card is so soft that I don't even want to move it.

"You tell that witcher to wait for a while, and I'll see him in a while!" Ryan shouted towards the door.

"Understood, my Baron." Katzenberg stepped back.

Ryan gently hugged the shy dark elf, and blew on her pointed ears with golden rings: "You can take a good rest here today, you don't need to do anything."

"Master~" Olika leaned on his shoulder, blushing all over her face, different from what she imagined, she was very shy, and it was all led by Ryan. Fortunately, there was a racial talent bonus, and she barely let Ryan eat Half full.

"I'll go out first to see what's going on, and I'll come back to accompany you later." Ryan patted Orika's shoulder lightly and helped her lie down.

"Master, wait." The dark elf raised his head and kissed Ryan's lips gently.

Ryan hugged her tightly again.

After a two-minute long kiss, the baron nodded, told her to lie down, and left the master room.

After seeing Ryan leave, Olika first covered herself with the quilt very shyly, and maintained this state for a while before recovering from the shy situation.

She remembered the warning from the fairy of the lake again: Be a maid for my champion, or your fate will be ruined.

Her body was crisp and numb, as if her bones had been pulled out. Olika couldn't stop feeling this feeling, but the dark elf still tried to mobilize the magic power on her body.

really! The soul that had been as dead as before was finally able to feel the wind of magic again. Olika concentrated all the magic power "borrowed" from Ryan, and the dark elves chanted ancient spells, and the power of dark magic finally appeared.

"Stand of Erth, heed my command."

In the efforts of the dark elves, a dark blue long-handled staff inlaid with blood rubies appeared in front of Orika. After calling out the staff, the dark elves had already used up most of their mana.

And just when Orika stretched out her hand trying to hold the staff, the staff suddenly became unstable.

"Not good!" Olika quickly grabbed the staff, and then she condensed all her remaining mana, and quickly carved a purple curse mark that spread out in a spiral shape on her lower abdomen. It was extremely painful, at least during the engraving process, the dark elf's forehead was covered with sweat, and he almost bit his lip.

Fortunately, the curse mark was successfully completed, and the staff disappeared into the air. Olika softened as if she had collapsed. The dark elf stroked the curse mark on his lower abdomen tiredly, and let out a satisfied sigh.

"With this, I will only belong to the master in the future."

"Caradrian, I will definitely make you repay your hatred tenfold!"

…………

Demon hunter Abel is waiting in the baron's castle.

Even though he looks in his thirties on the surface, everyone who knows him well knows that this witcher is actually not young anymore. His real age is approaching the sixty mark. A year ago, because he got some In an adventure, Abel finally advanced to the legendary level, but it is not that simple to become a master of demon hunting. He still needs enough qualifications to prove that he is a real master of demon hunting.

So he left the empire and came to Britannia to travel. At the same time, he also wanted to find a beautiful witch, her name was Jelena. She had a wonderful encounter with him, but because of Due to the particularity of their work, they eventually separated, and a witch told him that Jelena went to the south of Britannia to open a store.

This is perhaps the main reason why he came to Brittania.

The empire and Brittania have always maintained a relatively delicate alliance. When facing any alien or even alien enemies, the two human countries are undoubtedly staunch allies. However, the trade frictions within the two countries And all kinds of disputes have never stopped, especially recently, the relationship between Duke Casvann and the empire has gradually deteriorated. The stubborn Duke Casvann believes that the imperial people should pay more taxes , while the empire thought Kasvann's request was too unreasonable.

Under the leadership of the new Emperor Karl Franz, the imperial court was stronger than ever.

This forced the demon hunter to choose land and sea. He first arrived in Fort Marien, and then took a boat to the Duchy of Bordeaux. The expensive boat fare almost drained his last gold coin, so he had to He did not stay in the Principality of Boldro and completed several bounty tasks in a row, which earned him the appreciation of Boderick, the Duke of Boldro. The Duke who returned to the territory received him and handed him a letter, asking him to Pass it on to Baron Jean-Lion Malcador on his behalf.

Demon hunters have never been rich. Even a master demon hunter can hardly earn a hundred gold coins a year. The nobles fear and guard against demon hunters, fearing that they will pick up all kinds of disgraceful things about themselves. They are afraid of the witcher, who will turn the village to ashes because some of them are corrupted.

Therefore, the main source of income for demon hunters is almost entirely from various commissions and seizures in combat expeditions. Many demon hunters live a life of travel and sleep. No one welcomes them to stay for a long time, and no one welcomes them to go from house to house. They searched from house to house, but the demon hunters could help them destroy monsters and deal with some powerful creatures that they couldn't fight against, so they would tolerate the existence of demon hunters.

After coming to the Barony of Jean, Abel felt something different. The atmosphere here was quiet and peaceful. Could this be the power of the Holy Grail Knight?

The name of the Knight of the Holy Grail resounded throughout the Old World, and the story of Lion Malcador was sung into countless poems, and the bards spread his name widely.

More importantly, the Holy Grail Knight does not discriminate against demon hunters, which is like a treasure for demon hunters.

After waiting for a while, the baron finally appeared. It was obvious that he was in a good mood: "Mr. Abel? I remember you. When you passed by Outlaw as a witcher, I was a child."

"Your Excellency Ryan, please don't say that." Abel quickly shook his head to express that he dared not call himself a senior.

What is the social status of the Holy Grail Knight and what is the social status of the Demon Hunter, Abel is very clear in his heart.

"Then why did you come to the Barony of Jean this time?" Ryan then asked.

Abel told about his experience, and at the same time he sent a letter: "This is the letter that Duke Boldro entrusted me to give to you, and now I will hand it into your hands, my baron. "

"Well, I received it." Ryan took the letter and checked that there was no problem with the wax seal, so he nodded to indicate that he had received it: "Do you plan to stay here?"

"Yes, my Baron, there are some tasks on the notice board, and I plan to complete them. Mr. Katzenberg has instructed me some key matters." Abel quickly took out a notice, which was entrusted by the lord, Recently, a blood-sucking creature attacked passers-by in the forest near Jin Town, so the butler Katzenberg issued a mission, hoping that someone could solve this problem.

As the lord, it is not convenient for Ryan himself to come forward to solve this problem in person. At this time, it is an ideal result to send his own knights or issue a notice to find someone to complete the work.

"Can you tell me what that is?" Ryan asked calmly.

"It could be the bat-winged demon, a low-level creature created by vampires, or it could be a vampire witch." Abel nodded: "I need to make some potions to deal with it, and if things go well, I can do it within three days Complete this task."

"Well, very good, if you can complete your task, I will pay you in full."

In front of the witcher, Ryan opened Duke Boldero's envelope.

It's nothing special. On the third Sunday in October, Boderick, Duke of Boldeiro, plans to hold a grand party in his castle and invites Ryan to attend.

After thinking about his itinerary for a while, the baron didn't think it was a big problem. He also felt that it was time to participate in more social activities, which would be good for broadening his contacts. More importantly, the Duke of Boldero was in command of the entire Brittany With more than 80% of the navy in Nia, there are some things that Ryan may need his help with.

"Mr. Abel, how is the situation of the Demon Hunters Guild recently?" Ryan stood up, and the baron was in a good mood: "If you don't mind, maybe we can go for a walk together?"

"Of course, my Baron."

The Holy Grail Knight and the Demon Hunter walked together in the town in late autumn. The appearance of the baron was universally loved by the citizens, but the fearsome Demon Hunter made the citizens vigilant. They could not understand why the noble Grail Knight Lord will walk with a witcher.

The sky in the distance was clear and cloudless. Walking in the streets with stone pavements, Ryan watched the residents preparing for winter. Many people were chopping firewood, and some residents were fetching water. Since Ryan built a clean canal to connect Chinon In the town of River and Jean, the sanitation situation in the towns has been greatly eased, and the lord has even ordered that it is forbidden to defecate anywhere in the towns.

"You are from the empire, Mr. Abel, can you tell me what happened in the empire recently?" Ryan asked Abel casually: "The news here is a bit blocked, especially because I have just participated in a war recently."

"Recently the situation is not very good, my baron, there are constant uprisings in the Kingdom of Nord, do you still remember the northern barbarian invasion a year ago?" Abel's white hair fluttered in the autumn wind: "Although Baron you The invasion was repulsed, but the subsequent influence has never disappeared. It is said that in those places that were ravaged by the barbarian army, dark and evil beliefs spread everywhere, and uprisings took place one after another. Nord is now very weak."

"...I understand, so what about our Emperor Franz? What measures does he have?" Ryan then asked.

"His Majesty the Emperor is having a hard time with the dispute between Elector Hawke and Elector Ostermark. A civil war even broke out between the two Electors. Before His Majesty the Emperor sent a special envoy to mediate, hundreds of people died in the brawl Among them." Abel went on to say: "Also, Manfred, the elector of Wollrich, died in battle while clearing the brass fortress in the Central Mountain Range, and his son Boris Todd, the White Wolf Knight Bollinger succeeded as the elector in front of Maras, the archbishop of the White Wolf Temple in White Wolf City, and he vowed to wipe out all the Beastmen and Chaos creatures in Wollich's territory."

"Another elector who died in battle." Ryan sighed softly. The empire's territory is huge, and there are a large number of greenskins, beastman tribes, and many terrifying chaotic creatures hidden in countless black forests, mountains, and wilderness , the lords are always fighting for the security built into the territory.

There is a brass fortress hidden in the central mountain range of the emperor. This fortress is almost the refuge of the entire chaos force in the empire. The empire has tried many times to destroy them, but the army that went to attack the brass fortress has never returned. .

"Is there any new news?" Ryan asked after spending some time digesting the existing content.

"There are only so many for now, my baron." Abel hesitated for a while, and then said to Ryan: "My baron, can I inquire about some news?"

"You said, Mr. Abel, we met when I was a child." Ryan spread his hands to signal the witcher not to be so polite: "I will answer your questions within my ability."

"I am looking for a witch, she has fiery red hair and a strong face, amber eyes, her name is Jelena, I am friends with her, and it is said that she came to Britannia two years ago South, but I don't know where she is going, I have something to look for her." Abel said hesitantly, the witcher looked very tangled.

"Jelina? I haven't heard of such a name, but maybe we can meet the witch you mentioned in one place." Ryan thought for a while and felt that he had never heard of this name. The Holy Grail Knight held up the letter: "Boll Boderick, the Duke of Dro, will hold a grand banquet in two weeks, and a large number of noble gentlemen and ladies from nearby countries will participate, and perhaps you can find out more about it at the banquet."

"Then how can I participate in this banquet? My baron?" Abel knew that it was time to negotiate terms. As a demon hunter, it would be difficult to participate in such a banquet of a nobleman, unless Ryan was willing to extend Help.

"There is no free lunch in the world, Mr. Abel." The corner of Ryan's mouth curled up: "Complete the task on the notice, and I will not only pay you, but also take you to this banquet."

"Then follow your orders, my baron." Abel nodded, and the witcher happily accepted the condition.

The baron and the witcher had come to the edge of the town after a long journey. Just in time, he saw Katzenberg leading a group of elves into his town.

It's his old friend, the half-elf Estelle, and a bunch of wood elves!

The wood elves came to him to pay the debt.

Updated, ask for tickets in the new week.
