Chapter 177, Invitation
"This is the head of a vampire, my baron." The demon hunter Abel put a head with brown-red hair, a face full of ferocity and blood in front of Ryan: "She is hiding in a nearby forest farm. Inside, she often attacked passers-by at night, and she pretended to be a beautiful woman, inviting those men into the forest to have fun, and then took the opportunity to suck their blood."
"Ah, I get it, it's great, you guys are doing a great job." Ryan nodded, he had taken care of these vampires a lot, then he motioned for Abel and Jule to sit down, he noticed that Jule was injured, The young witcher's arms hung limply on his chest and were firmly bandaged: "Can you tell me a little bit about the story? I'm all ears."
"Yeah." The two demon hunters sat down in the baron's castle hall. Abel sorted out his language a bit, and then said: "It happened as Mr. Katzenberg said, about two weeks ago, the serf It was rumored that there was a beautiful woman doing some flesh and blood business on the small road near the forest farm. symptom."
"Ha, it seems that this vampire is disguised as a human and sucks human blood." Ryan nodded, he knew the routine of this vampire.
Under this method, the serfs or citizens who are victimized often dare not speak out, and most of them choose to remain silent, so this gives the vampire the chance. lurking around the town.
Sitting on his seat, Ryan looked a little helpless.
Brittany is really serious about having vampires.
A large number of these midnight nobles lurk in the territory of the Knight Kingdom, sucking human blood. Some vampires are really tired of endless wars and want to live in seclusion here, but there are also some vampires, like the Red Duke, who want to subvert the entire knight kingdom.
However, the Kingdom of Knights does not have strong control over vampires. Many vampires are hiding among the people, and the serfs will even try to cover them up.
Here I have to mention the collapse of the serf system. Many vampires adhere to the principle of taking a long time to catch big fish. They often give some small favors to the serfs so that they can continue to suck their blood. Some vampires even regularly donate blood "The serfs have some silver coins.
The serfs who were squeezed by the knights and lords could not survive had an additional channel to survive: selling blood.
"My baron, are you listening?" Abel noticed that Ryan seemed to be distracted, so he reminded him.
The baron's steward, Katzenberg, gave the witcher a stern look,
The butler, who was tall and thin, with a big bald head and round glasses, was not friendly to the witcher. He felt that the witcher was being rude.
"Well, I'm listening, you continue to talk, since everyone is silent in this situation, how did this matter be discovered?" Ryan then asked.
Abel knew that Ryan was listening, the witcher nodded, and sighed: "My baron, the vampire is not a high-level vampire. Sometimes she can't control herself rationally. This time it happened like this."
"A half-grown boy failed to withstand the temptation of the vampire witch, and followed her into the abandoned hut in the forest farm."
"During the blood-sucking process, the boy's blood was too delicious, and the vampire witch couldn't hold back. She sucked the boy into a mummy in one breath."
"The boy's parents decided to report it to Mr. Katzenberg after they found out about it. Although many serfs persuaded him to keep quiet, he was their only son..." Abel didn't continue, just sighed.
Most of the demon hunters have experienced a lot of cruel and crazier incidents. It is common for this kind of ordinary vampires to haunt them, so they don’t have a lot of unbearable or sad faces. People always think that demon hunters are cold-blooded, but they don’t know that they actually see them. too much.
"So how did you deal with the vampire witch?" Ryan continued to ask, and he had actually seen this kind of thing a lot.
"The garlic, sunlight, and crosses in people's legends can't actually do any harm to the vampire." Abel nodded, and the witcher continued: "The vampire doesn't like garlic, just like humans don't like bark. I don't like it, there is no way to cause substantial damage to them, vampires hate walking in the sun, but it's just annoying."
"The things that are really useful against vampires are the holy water and silver weapons blessed by the church. Those are the sharp weapons against vampires." Abel added at last, and then neither of the two demon hunters spoke again.
"Very good, Mr. Abel, the witcher, you have fulfilled your promise, and now it is my turn to fulfill mine, Katzenberg, give them the things." Ryan signaled Katzenberg to send something.
The steward came forward with a tray, on which were fifteen crowns in gold and fifty shillings in silver.
The demon hunters are not polite, they need the money: "Thank you, Lord Ryan."
"You will have what you have." Ryan nodded: "My promise is also that there are about ten days before the Duke Bordello's banquet. You can stay in the town, or go nearby to see if there is anything else. Mission, we will set off one day earlier."
"Jüle will go to Helen Hilde to see if there is any work that can be done, and I will stay here." Abel replied.
"very good."
The two demon hunters left, and Ryan sat in his chair without moving. Katzenberg saw the situation and asked, "Baron, is there anything else?"
"Kazenberg, tell me, if I allow the demon hunters to establish a union in this town, will it be possible to curb the spread and corruption of vampires?" Ryan touched his chin and said.
"It's better not, my baron." Katzenberg shook his head suddenly, and shook his head repeatedly: "When you need a demon hunter, just post the mission on the notice board, if there are too many in our territory Demon hunters, whether they are merchants, travelers or nobles, will have opinions, my baron, you need to find a balance among them."
"Well, I understand." Katzenberg made sense, and Ryan also believed that too many demon hunters did have an impact on the economy.
"By the way, how is the construction progress of the tower?" Ryan was concerned about the progress of the fairy tower in the lake.
"It's still under construction, my baron. The drawings you gave to the craftsmen are too detailed. This has caused some opinions from the craftsmen. They think that this progress is too slow and it is not conducive to their own performance. Maybe you can give them more design freedom. .” Katzenberg gave his own suggestion: “If the current progress is followed, it may not be completed until this time next year.”
"Then do it by this time next year." Ryan stood up and walked to the window with Katzenberg. A spire about 30 meters high is under construction. It is conservatively estimated that the spire will It cost Ryan more than three thousand gold crowns.
The baron's castle will have a corridor along the city wall leading to the spire, and there is no other entrance to the spire. It is built against a mountain, shrouded in clouds and mist, and looks quite mysterious.
"Everything is done according to the drawings, and the ingenuity of the craftsmen will naturally have a place to play, but not here." Ryan said in a deep voice: "I hired them, not they hired us."
"Understood, my baron, I will continue to monitor the progress of the project." Katzenberg immediately nodded, indicating that he knew.
"How is the guest room on the third floor ready?" Ryan then asked.
"It's already in the process of tidying up. According to the baron's instructions, we have used the best carpets and artwork to decorate this room. The furniture is high-quality cherry wood furniture that we specially ordered from Helen Hilde's carpenter. I guarantee that any guest will come You will feel satisfied here." With his hands behind his back, Katzenberg led Ryan and opened the guest room.
This is a room of about 50 square meters. The floor is covered with soft carpets, and the furniture is all brand new. The glass windows and various hanging paintings all show the enthusiasm and seriousness of the owner.
"Okay, that's it."
The renovation of the lord's castle is in full swing, and the serfs of the Barony of Jean are also sowing winter wheat successively under the supervision. These crops will not be ripe until May and June next year, and they are generally in a state of being left alone after planting .
The vast farmland does not require every piece of land to be sown. Hundreds of years ago, human beings learned the system of fallow and rotation farming under the mission of the Church of Life. Britannia is undoubtedly a livable and blessed land, otherwise The elves would not colonize here either. It was just that the high taxes drained the income of the serfs, and the entire country's national power was used to raise knights, so there were so many social phenomena.
Just then, Ryan heard a pegasus neighing and landing.
It was Suria, and she came back with Emilia. Ryan immediately got up and greeted him outside the castle.
"Mr. Ryan!" Emilia jumped off the tall pegasus horse. The girl had already put on the thick winter uniform of the college. Seeing Ryan appearing, she ran towards Ryan happily: "Mr. Ryan, I'm back !"
"Welcome home, Emilia!" Ryan, who was busy with the battle, hadn't seen his little maid for a long time. He stretched out his hands and gently hugged her petite body: "How are you studying in the academy?" ?”
Before Emilia could answer, the female knight standing behind her spoke. Suria was wearing a lake green winter coat and black pleated skirt today, a pair of knee-length high-heeled boots and flesh-colored thick trousers Socks are the finishing touch. Seeing Ryan asking, Suria smiled and said: "Emilia studies very hard. She ranked first in this courtier exam. Even her father praised her level."
"Ah! Sister Suria, don't say that, it's so embarrassing!" Emilia backed away shyly.
Seeing this situation, Ryan and Su Liya looked at each other and smiled, and Ryan took the initiative to say, "Then... go in and sit down? Don't rush to leave now, Miss Su Liya?"
"Since it's Ryan's invitation, of course I'm going to stay for a while." Su Liya seemed to be waiting for Ryan's words, her smile bloomed like an iris, and then walked to Ryan's side and talked with him Enter the castle together.
As a frequent visitor to Ryan's castle, Suria has long been familiar with the internal structure of Ryan's castle, and Ryan has never regarded her as an outsider. The two walked into the living room on the third floor one after the other and sat down. The dark elf Ollie Ka served a hot cup of coffee: "Miss Suria, please use."
"Thank you, Miss Olika." The female knight took it with both hands with a smile, and then held the coffee in her palm. She suddenly noticed that the dark elf seemed to be a little different from when she first met her. up.
As for what was different, the female knight, who was only nineteen years old this year, couldn't say for sure, but she could feel that she had some inexplicable hostility towards this dark elf.
Damn, how can I be hostile, she is just a maid, Surya immediately threw this idea out of her mind.
Emilia quickly changed into a maid outfit and stood beside Ryan. For some reason, the little maid also noticed that Orika was a little different, but she also held back and didn't ask.
The dark elf just smiled at this situation. She has been sharing the bed with Ryan for the past few nights. Naturally, she is a little different from her previous self, both in temperament and in body.
The conversation between the Knight of the Holy Grail and the Duke's daughter is always very pleasant, but today is a little different. After chatting a few words, the female knight immediately noticed that Ryan had something to say, and she was considerate and she immediately asked: "Aren't you Have something to say to me, Ryan?"
"Really, I can't hide it from you, Miss Sulia." Ryan was a little embarrassed, and the usually mature and stable Holy Grail Knight nervously took out an opened letter: "I received this a few days ago."
"This is an invitation letter from the Duke of Boldro?" Suria took the letter, and she understood the meaning after reading it a little bit, but the female knight didn't take the initiative to say it out, but said it intentionally. It: "You can actually get an invitation from Lord Boderick, Ryan, you are really outstanding, and my father has never received this letter."
"Your Excellency the Duke didn't receive it?" Ryan was blocked from what he wanted to say, and the baron himself felt a little uncomfortable. He said with an embarrassed smile: "I thought the Duke had already received it."
"No... the relationship between my father and Duke Boderick is very ordinary. Duke Boderick doesn't like his father's low tax rate. It's just that we cooperate in wine export and many trades, so we maintain a relationship that is still tolerable." Su Leah shook her head and said, then the Duke's daughter stopped talking a little bit, staring at Ryan with her bright sea blue eyes.
She was waiting for Ryan to take the initiative to speak, which was a necessary reserve.
Ryan didn't let her down. After hesitating for a moment, Ryan stood up very seriously, performed the noble etiquette of an invitation, and stretched out his hand towards Suria.
"Then can I have the honor to invite Miss Su Liya to be my female companion at the banquet?"
