The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"...As a result, this man guitar actually asked to disband the guards of the temple, what an unreasonable request!"

"Cha Pei." After going out more than a hundred meters, Zelin slowed down. "Want to touch my newly forged silver sword?"

"Silver Sword? Are you kidding? You know me..." Cha Pei said, suddenly biting his tongue and widening his eyes.

"Then how dare you touch his silver cup?" Zelin understood that Chapei had recovered, and he lowered his voice: "You know what will happen to this. If it weren't for me to come to Novigrad today, otherwise I would I have to find a way to rob prison!"

"...I just thought he was giving in." Zha Pei took out the handkerchief, his face was pale, and his forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat. He knows better than the Demon Hunter what the consequences will be if the Shapeshifter touches the silver product: "As a result, I almost forgot..."

"You are a little bit smug, Cha Pei." Zelin patted him on the shoulder. "Maybe his concession is a new trap. Let's go, don't stand here all the time, I have something I want to know about you."

Chapter 2258: Unexpected clues

"Manji is going to grab your handle, be careful, you have met your opponent."

Standing in a locked warehouse, Zelin stood up from the ground and clapped his hands. The warehouse surrounded by wooden crates, sacks, and long crates was filled with a **** smell. Splashes of blood on the ground and nearby walls were not removed, and the dried blood stains were painted in dark black. Fortunately, the weather is cold, otherwise it must be full of flies in summer.

"Manji has a letter of command from the leader of Heimfa, which is very difficult to handle. It stands to reason that his status is equal to mine, but with that letter of command, many people will first obey his orders." Cha Pei Standing beside Zelin. The location around the warehouse was very empty. Zelin could detect if anyone was eavesdropping nearby: "In the end, his subordinate died for various reasons, and he put his suspicion on me. I was worried. He was in the sea. If the leader of Mfa has framed me, the leader will send someone to take back my post of bishop."

Zelin sighed, and he patted Chapei's shoulder with a chuckle: "You think Manji suddenly came to deal with you, a bishop who has been in charge of the Novigrad Church for more than ten years, just because he doesn't like you? Or, He doesn't have the support of others. He dares to do this? You have spread the doctrine of Eternal Fire in Novigrad these years. Among so many local bishops, you have the highest status. Who do you think can support Manji's doing this?"

"Master Haifam?" Chapei's face was a little stiff: "But why? I pay a sufficient share of gold to the church's vault every year. The number of believers in Novigrad is increasing year by year, even if non-human beings are here. This city also respects the church and manages the work with peace of mind. Since there are such good profits, why does he come in and destroy it again?"

"It's because there are too many profits here." Zelin shook his head: "Instead of letting you turn in, why didn't he take it all by himself? You have created a city of wealth for him. Now, all he has to do is to Wealth is in your own hands. You said that recently his men died due to various accidents? I have to say, you have to thank these accidents, which may make him unable to guess your trump card, so he dare not act rashly. Otherwise, he would have dealt with you a long time ago, and his subordinates died here?"

"Yes, it was early in the morning when a group of porters went to the warehouse to pick up the goods, only to see that there was blood inside. At first no one thought it was a witch hunter until the guard found the badge." Cha Pei with one hand behind him, another One hand gestured in mid-air. His voice was a little weak, as if he was very tired: "Witch hunters actually ingest numbing powder? Eternal fire, the duty of the temple guard should be to destroy the goods of illegal vendors!"

"After spending so much in the church, don't you understand what the Eternal Fire churches look like in other places, Chapei?"

Zelin walked to a pillar, and there were impact marks and claw marks on the stake.

"Stop talking about these things, do you have any findings?"

"There are many discoveries. First of all, this monster is very powerful. It can knock an adult man wearing armor into the air. This is definitely not something that a water ghost in the sewer can do." Ze Lin pointed to the wooden stake: "Secondly. , It can swing its claws to a distance of two meters, which means that its height may be about two to three meters. Generally speaking, the monster’s attack will not exceed the top of its head unless there is a target standing on it. But this is Pillars are not platforms, so this situation can be ruled out. Look here again."

He pointed to the ground. There was a depression on the plank ground, and the cracks spread out all around. "The monster's legs are very powerful, and a corpse fell near the door. I guess the monster should have jumped from here, jumped over a distance of almost 20 meters, and shot the soldier who wanted to escape to the ground. According to the monster's power level, even a heavily armed soldier may not be able to stop its blow. Is this really a monster? Not a premeditated murder?"

"Why ask?"

"I know there are some monsters, they are more in line with my inference, but here is in a city, a city with tens of thousands of people within the city wall alone, the monster I guess is impossible to appear here. The height is more than two meters. The female monster, or is it possible to have a three-meter demon when you stand upright? You think these two monsters may sneak into the warehouse and kill people without any guards, even ordinary people. Feeling leaving?" Zelin showed an unbelievable expression. This is one of the few cases in which he feels strange. Generally speaking, the monsters in the city are relatively short, otherwise it is impossible to cover themselves.

"Could it be a vampire?"

"Vampires do attack their prey with their claws, but from your description of the corpse, this is not a hunt at all, but a slaughter. Why does a vampire have a reason to do this?" Zelin opened his hands: "Furthermore, if It's really a vampire. Judging from the scratches, its claws are almost one meter long. Vampires are usually only two meters long, unless this is a variant I have never seen...maybe many demon hunters have never seen it. Yes, I have never heard of such a vampire."

"Then this is really...can you find the beast? I can't let this monster wreak havoc in the city. No one knows if it will hunt civilians next. Manji seems to have temporarily blocked the news. , I am going to do this too, so as not to cause panic in the city." Cha Pei sighed. "I'm wondering, if Hierarch Haifam knew that there was such a beast in the city, would he still be willing to take over Novigrad."

"It's not that he came to Novigrad in person, just waiting for someone to give more gold. What is there to be afraid of." Zelin raised his head and looked around: "I think Manji might think you made this monster. Yes. Be careful, he handed you the silver cup, he might be suspicious of your identity."

"How is it possible?" Cha Pei opened his hands, "I have absolutely no problems with my performance."

"Actually, there are, Cha Pei. In terms of age, Cha Pei is now fifty years old, but you still look like you are forty years old. There is no trace of oldness or even a trace of change." Zelin pointed out. On the cheek of the deformed monster: "Normal humans don’t look the same for more than a decade, not to mention that Chapei’s health is not good at all. I guess you should not show the appearance of getting sick for more than ten years, right? The miracle of the eternal fire can make young people in the temple worship you, but you can't fool people like Manji."

"Ah..." Cha Pei wiped his face vigorously and sighed deeply. "Damn, what should I do? If next time, he comes to the temple to give me any silverware, especially at the ceremony, I can't refuse it at all."

"Then get sick."

"I won't get human diseases."

"I mean, pretend to be sick." Zelin took a deep breath: "Stay in your temple, stay on the temple island, pretend to be sick, refuse to see anyone, and delegate your duties to a reliable person, or you Someone who can be trusted. Let me deal with the rest."

"You...what are you going to do?"

"I want to think about it." Zelin clicked on his temples: "By the way, I'm here for one more thing. Do you know that in the port, a ship with the sign of the Warlock Order painted on it that arrived about two or three days ago? Where did the people on that ship go?"

"The port? The only place since Manji came here. Except for the Temple Island, other places seem to be blindfolded to me." Chapei sighed helplessly: "Manji replaced all of mine. People, including the port. If you want to know where the people on a ship have gone, you can only ask the witch hunter. But I suggest you hurry up. After a while, Rydania may send some soldiers there. The city is here to take over defense work."

"I remember Novigrad declared neutral?"

"It's a soldier from Redania, pretending to be a mercenary and being hired by the city council."

"In other words, Novigrad has secretly surrendered to Redania?"

"It can't be said that this proposal was only supported by members of the Redanians and the Eternal Fire Church who voted for it, and members of the underground gang voted against it."

Chapei mentioned the underground gang, Zelin immediately thought of Dikoscher, and now he is aliased to Sigi Ruben in Novigrad. They had also cooperated to some extent in the case of the plague ship before.

"Do you know a man named Sigi Ruben?"

"Sigi Ruben? I know him, he is the most famous gangster in Novigrad. Do you know him?"

"In a sense, what is he doing recently?"

"He opened a bathhouse near the Temple Island."

"Bathroom? Well, I understand." Zelin nodded. It seems that the leader of Haifam is ready to claim to Ladovide, but the members of the gang do not seem to be so willing. This is a good opportunity for him. It sounds like Dikoscher has a good business in Novigrad, and maybe he can inquire about the ship's whereabouts in Dikoscher's mouth.

Zelin had been to Lomune, and he knew very well what Ladovide's attitude towards warlocks was, and his aversion to warlocks even extended to scholars. If the leader of Haifam wants to be favored by Ladovide, the students and female warlocks of this ship are undoubtedly the best gifts.

"In the next two days, you will stay on the Temple Island and don't see anyone. I will often go to you in the name of reporting the progress of the investigation to you."

"No problem, I will arrange a suitable assistant. Over the years, I have found that there are many young people in the church who are still kind..." Suddenly, Zha Pei frowned, "Zelin, you are here. What are you looking at?"

The demon hunter raised his hand, his gaze rested on a hook hanging from the top of the warehouse. This hook is like a device used to hang big fish or meat, located on the roof between the monster jumping and the enemy falling. Above, there is a faint white hair on the tip of the hook.

Chapter 229: News from Dikoscher

The closed door of the Witch Hunter headquarters still couldn't stop Manji's rebuke.

"Trash, why can't you stop a demon hunter!" Manji's slap slapped the guard's face fiercely: "It's just that, it's a second! You trash can't draw your sword to stop him. Coming down, does he dare to confront you here?! Then I have a reason to sentence him to death directly!"

"He, his speed is too fast, sir, we are about to draw the sword, he kicked people away and broke in." Another witch hunter explained in a low voice. "Sir, do you want us to get him back again?"

"Catch it back?" Manji sneered: "You go to catch him tonight, and tomorrow I will get the latest news about the murder of that beast, that is, it has killed you again!"

"You, what do you mean, that beast was controlled by Chapei?"

"Do you have evidence?" Manji asked back: "Unless you have no evidence that Chapei is the culprit, or he is a monster, anyone can accuse the bishop of the church as a monster and a criminal! Go and watch him. , Monitor his every move! Buy a few priests of the temple island, or some guards, I want to know everything that Chapei does every day, and anyone he contacts!"

After that, he turned around, turned his back to his subordinates, and walked into a secret room on the other side of the office. The subordinates kept their heads down until they heard the slamming sound of the door before they dared to raise their heads.

Various instruments of torture were placed in the secret room, and there were still dark red blood stains on the instruments of torture. Everyone who has been here knows how many ways Manji can get a prisoner to speak and write down what he wants. Of course, none of these people will go out alive and give testimony against the eternal fire. He has always done things rigorously, which is why the leader of Heimfa takes him seriously and sends him to Novigrad to take over the work.

But he couldn't use this simple method to deal with Chapei. He could feel that something was wrong. Since he led the troops to Novigrad, it seemed as if he had a pair of eyes staring at him in secret. The troops were frequently attacked and their subordinates were assassinated. It is unusual to encounter monsters on the edge of a city of this size near Novigrad, not to mention the beasts in the city.

In this kind of city, how can there be such a powerful and dangerous beast that can hide its figure? Even a werewolf cannot live in a city. He has seen illustrations of dark creatures in the library of the church. Werewolves usually live in the countryside or forests rather than in cities. After the werewolves are transformed, they cannot control their behavior at all. They will soon be guarded by the city. Discover and kill.
