The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"How is this possible?" Vincent widened his eyes. He knew that Zelin was not a person who liked to joke with him: "I am arresting a fugitive, not going to rush into Tritog to kidnap Ladovide. How does a fugitive hire that? Many people protect him? The gold coins purchased for four hundred and eight swords and axes fled to Willen. Is he a mule?"

To Zelin's surprise, although Vincent's team members seemed to be dismissive of the demon hunter's words, none of them said anything when their chief spoke.

"I don't know where he got so much equipment."

Tisaya’s mind-reading technique did not explain how the elves of the Devil’s Pit obtained such sophisticated weapons and armors. She may know it, but thinks this part is not important, so only the key information is mentioned, but no matter what the process is, the result is already in front of you. . This is a elven force that is well equipped and even equipped with anti-magic metal.

"But I think you better not act arbitrarily."

Vincent turned his head, looked at the team behind him, and regained his gaze: "I must determine the situation before considering changing the plan. The spy promised me that most of Willen’s bandits had accepted imperial officers and slave traps. Gold, so it will not attack the imperial army or protect the wanted criminals in Nilfgaard. Except for the robbers in the west cape, there are probably only 20 or 30 robbers."

"Someone rejected Nilfgard's solicitation?"

"That's a group of hungry cannibals." Vincent dispelled Zelin's curiosity with a sentence: "I originally expected that he might recruit some unknown farmers to guard him. You said there are four hundred people around here. All the villages in China add up to less than 400 people."

"All the robbers in Willen are more than the villagers in total." Zelin shook his hand: "You can go to the Devil's Pit to observe, but I don't recommend you to stun the snakes. I have observed the supplies in that camp from a distance, even if they I won’t be surprised if I rush out on a horse."

Vincent pondered for a while, stretched out his finger to the guards behind him, and pointed to the ground: "I and the Demon Hunter will go to the Devil's Pit to investigate. You stay here and wait for my news."

"What's this, Captain?"

A guard asked: "He is not a member of the garrison, and the credit should be given to him?"

"This is a bounty hunter." Vincent replied loudly, "The bounty hunter I hired!"

"The demon hunter is the bounty hunter in the north?"

"It is mainly a hunter who hunts monsters, and sometimes accepts some commissions to find someone."

The other soldiers calmed down, bowing their heads and opening the bags they hung around their waists.

"What are they doing?"

"Collect the bounty." Vincent whispered: "Talking as you walk, Nilfgard's work habits."

Walking in the direction of the Devil's Pit with Vincent, Zelin faintly heard the murmurs of soldiers behind him.

"...I can make thirty-five marks here."

"Too little, seventy marks per person, and ten fronds."

"Is he worth the price?"

"The captain is worth two langs, but I don't know if the northerners understand it."

As the distance gets farther, the sound gradually disappears into the wind behind him.

"I'm not a bounty hunter, Vincent. I know bounty hunters in the south. They are not a bunch of good people."

"You are not a good stubble, Zelin, as far as I know, few people who framed you will end up well." Vincent waved his hand like chasing flies, and signaled Zelin not to care about it: "You might I don’t know, people from the south and outside of Nilfgad are not considered Nilfgad. Only by making credit can they find a way to move their family to Nilfgad, claiming to be a real Nilfgad. Citizens, so I can’t make them look like they are looking for a friend to share the credit before completing the task. In the South, it is most common to hire bounty hunters to complete the tasks assigned by the boss, and then one person takes the money and the other makes merit."

"I have seen bounty hunters like this, who hunt gangs."

Berhart, Hiri’s rat gang friend died in the hands of this bounty hunter.

"That's right. How could you expect a group of farmers who just knew how to avoid being slashed by a halberd to catch the brutal bandits in the wilderness, and then rely on another group of credible bandits to deal with them." Vincent Looking back, the guards began to rest in place. At a distance of more than two hundred meters, he lowered his voice: "Don't tell me to accept the commission, you must be hiding something from me, let's talk, what is in the devil's pit? You have been wandering here for several days. , I don’t believe that a demon hunter will wait for a commission in one place."

"I don't intend to hide it from you, but in fact, I only received this commission today, and I know how important it is." Zelin sighed, "A group of elves are preparing to attack Vizima."

After listening to Zelin's general description, Vincent was stunned for a few seconds.

"Um... it sounds like this matter should be handled by the army."

"It is true in normal times, but... some people hope that I can help to solve the problem when I don't know it. Because it involves the problem of elves."

"No, no, you don't understand what I mean." Vincent shook his head: "From Willen to Vizima, they have to pass through at least two barracks on the way, and then face the three thousand defenders in the city. Plague weapons? They will be discovered when they use weapons on the first barracks, and they will have to wait until the soldiers become ill, when the emperor’s army will come and wipe them out. If you want me to say, isn’t the plague the same as the poisoning? There is a lot of fanfare to poison it, as if for fear that other people would not know it."

"I don't understand what they think." Zelin rubbed his temples: "But if someone asks me, I can't help it. Can you tell your soldiers not to intervene in this matter, and leave it to me..... .."

Suddenly, the telescope in the jacket pocket of the Demon Hunter lit up.

Zelin was a little surprised, he didn't understand why Francesca wanted to contact him at this time. He gestured for a while to Vincent, and took out the telescope.

"What's the matter?"

"Zelin, where are you now?"

"Close to the devil's pit, I'm looking for a helper, can you give me some more time?" He heard the impatience in the elves' tone: "I can only ask them if they have time, they are not my subordinates, I can't always directly Give an order."

"No, I'm not... Forget it, Zelin, come to the devil's pit as soon as possible." Francesca took a deep anxious breath: "I'm in the devil's pit, they have already run away! "

The devil’s pit, the originally crowded mine pit, has returned to a deserted scene. Only some remaining wine bottles, dry sheepskins, wool cloth and broken wooden ladders are left. Some plates and cups are scattered in the corners. There are leaves of greens remaining on the edge of the cauldron. The wooden door of the mine on the hillside not far away was closed tightly, and the sunset tilted in the distance, and the shadow of the crane was projected in the weeds beside the mountain road. The night wind passed by with a chill, and the grass swayed and fell.

Zelin pushed open the fence door and walked down the **** quickly.

Tisaya stood alone in the pit, with her hands folded in front of her.

"Tishaya!"

Hearing the sound, the sorcerer turned her head.

"Zelin, you..." She noticed Vincent next to the Demon Hunter.

"It's okay, it's my friend." Zelin glanced over: "Where is Enid?"

"She has entered the mine first. Let me wait for you here. Let's go and follow." Tishaya took Zelin and quickly walked towards the mine: "These elves have disappeared. When I observed with magic, I found It’s too quiet here, but when I transfer my magic to the camp..."

"They are all missing, I know, but why?"

"I don't know." Tishaya exhaled slowly: "Enid thinks there is a problem in the mine."

"Could it be a teleportation spell?"

"Impossible. When Enid and I are here, if a warlock can bypass the observation of the two of us and send more than 300 soldiers together with equipment to other places, I will immediately throw all the magic books and then Never be a warlock again." Tishaya took a deep breath: "This is definitely not what a warlock did, and there are so many anti-magic metals."

A sack fell on the ground by the entrance of the mine. The mouth of the sack was opened, and several anti-magic metal plates were scattered on the ground.

"God, these guys are very rich. I've heard that in this stuff, one piece equals my two months' wages." Vincent rubbed the tip of his nose: "How did they get it?"

"Cheated." Tisaya said casually: "Enid has been in for five minutes. If you encounter an enemy..."

"You cover, I will do it." Ze Lin said concisely: "Don't worry, there will be no problems."

At the entrance of the mine, a broken head of an angel statue fell to the ground, eyes staring blankly at the intruding figure.
