The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Many onlookers gathered together and whispered about the murder case that had reappeared here.

"Evil beast, it's another evil beast rumor." Amelia followed Zelin with her hands behind her back, looking left and right: "The believers who have come to the temple to pray recently are hoping that the eternal fire can protect them from the invasion of evil beasts. If this monster continues to kill people in the city, my believers will go to believe in something else...Dark Moon Church."

"Huh?" Zelin heard Amelia's grumble: "Dark Moon Church has missionaries here?"

"No, it is a rumor from the other side of the Ponta River. Recently Nilfgaard invaded and many refugees fled here. They also brought a rumor about a church in Willen. They said that the goddess of that church would bless them and give Allegiance to the power of the knights." Amelia sighed: "Damn, how can the eternal fire compete with such a church? I originally thought that the eternal fire has at least some real mysteries, but in fact , They just make up stories to incite people's dissatisfaction."

The closer to the Upper Town and Temple Island, the more soldiers patrolling the streets. The number of city guards under the City Council is limited. Naturally, it is necessary to protect the distinguished citizens who can pay more taxes. On the Temple Island, the number of temple guards has always been large. This is also one of the safest places in Novigrad. It is the Embassy of Nilfgaard.

Chapei still controls the Temple Island and the Novigrad Church, but it seems that he is a lot tired. When Zelin entered the Temple Island, Cha Pei received the Demon Hunter in his private office.

"Amelia told me that you came to Novigrad. I'm so happy. There are Spies from Redania everywhere. I don't know who to talk to, so I just stay in the temple. Go out. Would you like some Baihuagu tea?" Cha Pei lifted the kettle and filled the cup with water. The heat wafted up, and a delicate fragrance filled the air.

"Whatever you want."

Zelin recognized at a glance, this was the Pandaren tea he had drunk in Azeroth.

"To be honest, I really like these drinks from the Elf Territory, do you know? In the past few years, there have been more and more Elf drinks. They said it was because of the reconstruction of the country that they were able to take out the ancient recipes from the past and build the manor. Large-scale production." Chapei picked up the water glass and took a sip: "Like the iced secret wine before, the wealthy citizens in the upper city of Novigrad like to hide a few bottles of such drinks in their home cellars. I'm very curious about what kind of drinks the elves of Baihua Valley can bring out. You have a good relationship with the elves, Zelin, can you tell me in advance that they have similar plans?"

"Maybe." Zelin picked up the teacup and drank the water in it. The weather was very hot. He walked all the way and was a little thirsty. Cha Pei couldn't help sighing because of Zelin's waste: "They did some things before. I don't know if they succeeded, but there are a lot of them. However, Cha Pei, you look a lot older?"

The Alliance Mission has brought a lot of things from Azeroth. Francesca is very interested in it, and she has signed some basic trade agreements with the Alliance. It may not be long before Zelin can be in the northern market. I saw the goods from Azeroth on the board.

"Because of Amelia’s suggestion, she said I should become older, but I can’t do it. I can only become the appearance of a person I just saw, not what I imagined, so she helped I put on makeup and dyed my hair." Chapei scratched the white hair on his head: "It's all fake, and Amelia said it makes me more like a human being."

"It's true." Zelin nodded, "At least it is less likely to cause suspicion than people who have not aged for decades."

"Du Du became Hawthorne II." Cha Pei enthusiastically introduced Zelin: "I'm currently working with him, with his help, and the smart Amelia, my job is much easier. Do you have free time? We can visit Dudu together, he has been living in the temple area recently."

"I'm afraid it won't work now, Cha Pei." Zelin put down his teacup: "I need your help urgently, just today."

"What's the matter?"

"I found a clue that may be the evil beast."

Zelin's words swept away the decadence on Chapei's face. He sat up straight: "Really? Oh, you can't make such a joke with me. I know you, you don't seem to make jokes with friends. People, you often make jokes with your enemies, don't you? What the **** is going on?"

"I ran into a few kidnappers yesterday. They caught an off-duty worker, stunned and put them in a sack, and they had to be transported to a place for another group of people." Zelin rescued a person from the sack yesterday. , He put this hapless guy in the brothel of Glory Lane, left a few coins, and told the people inside that this was his friend who was drunk and couldn't return home, so he had to spend the night outside: "I have found out. They will have another delivery today, right in the warehouse in the port area. I hope you can help me arrange a few reliable guards."

"You want to kill them all?"

"No." Zelin shook his head: "I hope you can arrange a few guards to take the place of those few people to deliver the goods."

"Delivery?"

"That's right." Zelin stretched out a finger: "I hope I can catch them all. But I don't know where the people who are hiding are, so instead of catching a few hired guys, why not take the opportunity? Think of a way to go directly to their base?"

Cha Pei pondered for a few seconds, and then showed a look of sudden enlightenment: "How many people do you want to arrange, pretending to be the captured citizens, and be transported to the secret base of the kidnappers?"

"Yes, and then open a portal in their base, we can go directly in." Zelin made a knife gesture: "I don't know what kind of impact it will have, but if the enemy If there is a wizard, I hope you can pick out some temple guards equipped with anti-magic metal, just in case."

Among today's witch hunters, there are a group of people who are adapted from the temple guards of the year. Temple guards often deal with warlocks, they know how to wear anti-magic metal to fight warlocks.

"But who should be the kidnapper then?" Cha Pei asked, "This is too dangerous."

"Don't worry, Cha Pei, this is the time I have to think about." Zelin leaned back and leaned on the back of the wooden chair: "This matter is very urgent. I will contact other people immediately. At 5 o'clock this afternoon, I will come to the Temple Island again, and then we will be ready to act."

Chapter 2570: Yanan Gang

The hustle and bustle of the crowded dock area remains the same.

The several murders in the city did not hit this area. Sailors from all over enjoyed the hard-won prosperity and peace, swaying money earned from sweat in taverns and brothels. Gang members walked on the streets, in groups, like a lord patrolling their land.

Several workers dressed up pushing the trailer and walked to the door of a warehouse next to the dock crane. The leader stood in front of the door and knocked on the door rhythmically. After a while, the wooden door opened a gap to the inside.

A sneaky eye appeared in the gap.

"We brought things." The leader was a blond young man. He glanced back at the cart behind him and the long wooden crates on it.

"I don't know what you are talking about?" The wooden door opened some gaps again: "No one is here to order."

"Don't pretend, our time is precious." The blond man showed an impatient look on his face: "We delivered things, where is the money?"

The door opened completely, revealing a man with a dagger around his waist. In cities, the most common weapons are daggers and clubs, which are easy to hide and inexpensive to purchase.

The blond man waved his hand and walked in with the cart pushing the wooden box.

"Over head." The dark-haired woman holding the edge of the cart with one hand walked to the leader: "There are four more, Alfred."

"I see." The blond man pulled off the brim of his beret. This time Alfred changed into a simple white shirt and black trousers. Irene also wore menswear, with straight black trousers and gray. His long-sleeved shirt, his hair **** behind his head, hidden in a felt hat. Zelin hoped that they could wear more like civilians in Novigrad, and prepared several suitable clothes for them. At this time, their usual clothes are too eye-catching.

They all wear white masks like Hawthorne's men.

"They are here."

"Hurry up and bring the box over."

Most people in the warehouse wear masks, and the gangs in Novigrad rarely show their true colors. Only two people walked to the cart, removed the box, and threw a bag to Alfred. Alfred caught it in mid-air, and there was a clink of coins.

The last figure in patterned clothes and blue trousers stood behind the cart, watching them all the time. When Irene retreated to her side, she could hear her suppressed growl in her throat.

"...I hate this **** dress."

"Wait a little longer, little Uther." Irene tilted her head. "I thought there would be a check and a code."

"Um, that bastard, he is humiliating me...!"

Irene glanced at Jr. Uther: "Your sister wouldn't want to see this failure because of you."

"He said here are all traitors." Alfred stepped back and walked to the two of them: "Traitors don't want to be seen by others who are traitors. Traitors will worry that people around them betray themselves, just like they betrayed the leader. ."

The people in the warehouse piled the boxes together. There were already more than 30 boxes piled up. There were several similar carts nearby. No one came to urge them to leave, so Alfred, like everyone else, walked to the corner of the warehouse with Irene and Little Uss, and waited in place like the gang members.

Irene carefully observed the situation nearby, her hand kept on her waist, ready to take out the stabbing sword at any time. Zelin hopes that they can help, play a porter, and when needed, take action to solve the enemy. This is nothing to Irene. In fact, she came here not long ago to help Zelin deal with the eternal fire. Compared with dealing with monsters in Yanan, dealing with the people here couldn't be easier.

About fifteen minutes passed.

"Time is enough, and there are enough things to send." A man wearing a half-clown mask walked to the middle of the warehouse: "The next time, we have to relocate. This is what the boss said, if someone is willing to follow If we continue to make money, just follow us, and we will form a new gang. If we don’t want to leave Novigrad, we will take a sum of money and leave here."

While the man in the clown mask was speaking, several workers carried the wooden boxes one by one to the wooden boards next to them. A person pulled a rocker on the wall, and the planks opened to the sides, revealing the stairs leading to the sewer below. Irene narrowed her eyes slightly, remembering the location of the organ.

"Where are you going?"

"How far is it from Novigrad?"

Someone below kept yelling and asking.

"There are many places to go, it may be Tritog, it may be more northern, or even Kodwin, but I assure you that as long as you stay, you can have more money and a lot of crowns!"
