Soul echo

Chapter 172 Sunset and Dusk

"...Who are you?"

The young man who was protected by the Transcendent took a deep breath, trying to calm his beating heart, and broke the awkward silence in the room.

"Is there any misunderstanding between us?"

Even though his heart was full of anger, the young man could only say some 'gentle' words at this time to ease the relationship between them.

Even though many soldiers were sent out to search for foreigners, it was a time when the defense of the castle was weak, but being able to break through the line of defense composed of twenty soldiers with muskets and successfully enter this room was enough to be called 'strong'.

Even his own protectors can't do this kind of thing. If they are hostile, the result can be imagined.

The crossbow has also been used, but it has no effect at all...

Sitting behind the desk, the young man silently turned the ring on his index finger, and glanced at the drawer at hand out of the corner of his eye.

"I'm Zhong Ye, you can treat me as a demon hunter."

Zhong Ye put the big sword on his shoulder, swaggered in front of the Transcendent, looked down at him, and then looked over his head at the young man sitting behind him.

"I came to Montreux to track down the heretics, because I found that the caravan under your family is suspected of human trafficking, so I came here to inquire." Having said this, Zhong Ye shook his head and smiled, "But you, my lord, It seems that they don’t welcome me very much, and they didn’t even let me in, so I really have no choice but to barge in by myself.”

The young man's face twitched unconsciously, and he almost couldn't restrain his anger.

"According to the agreement between nobles and demon hunters, you cannot..."

"Is there such a thing?" Zhong Ye pinched his chin with his left hand, pretending to be puzzled.

The young man's face turned red instantly, not because of shame, but because of anger.

"Whether you agree or not, I need to search this castle. The only thing you can do now is to cooperate with my investigation." The corners of Zhong Ye's mouth slightly curled up, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Of course, you can also invite the local church It is your right to supervise and assist my investigation."

"It seems that you are quite polite, and you actually 'respect' my rights!" The young man grinned and grinned angrily.

The hands under the table were already tightly clenched, and if he hadn't tried his best to restrain himself, he would have almost yelled at the man.

But he didn't expect that after hearing his sarcastic words, the demon hunter was not ashamed, but rather proud, and said proudly: "Of course! There are not many demon hunters who are more polite than me." !"

"master!"

Just then, there was a shout from outside the door.

The Transcendent standing in front of Zhong Ye suddenly jumped up, and the blade of the long sword pointed directly at Zhong Ye's neck.

Behind him, including Balmer, seven people held seven muskets and pointed their muzzles into the house.

The Transcendent in front of Zhong Ye had just burst into flames, and the young man behind the table showed a ferocious expression, when he heard the deacon outside the door shout again: "Don't shoot! The master is still inside!"

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then the transcendent saw a palm blocking the front of the sword, and a few fingers pinched the sword tightly.

Looking up in amazement, the man twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "The cooperation between you doesn't seem to be very good."

The extraordinary man exerted all his strength on his arm, only to find that the blade of the sword seemed to be embedded in a rock, standing motionless.

Lilian turned around unhappily, pretending to be calm, took out a bottle from her waist pocket, and shook it in front of the soldiers, "Do you know what this is? This is a Molotov cocktail. Once the bottle is broken, the flame will burst immediately. Spread across the room!"

Hearing this, several soldiers couldn't help but took half a step back, and Ballmer, who was holding a musket in both hands, was also sweating profusely.

"—Put down your weapon!"

The young man sitting behind the table finally couldn't help it, and let out a loud shout: "What are you doing? Put down your weapons!"

He couldn't help cursing inwardly, if it wasn't for Ballmer's shout, they wouldn't be so passive now!

Several soldiers were very obedient. After the youth spoke, they immediately put down their guns, and Ballmer also pointed the guns at the ground.

Zhong Ye let go of his hand and asked the Transcendent to withdraw the long sword.

Seeing his half-smile expression, the young man couldn't help taking a deep breath, and softened his voice: "Mr. Demon Hunter, I agree with your investigation, and I hope you can let that lady take back the Molotov cocktail first. It's a good thing that you still treat me..."

"Lilian, put it away." Zhong Ye laughed, without turning his head, fixed his eyes on the young man behind the table, and shouted loudly.

The Transcendent felt that he had been humiliated and his breathing became heavy, but he had to suppress his anger. Therefore, he had no choice but to stand where he was, his eyes glaring, and he cut Zhong Ye into pieces in his heart.

Lilian pursed her lips, and shook the bottle again under the terrified gaze of a few pairs of eyes, provoking the already panicked minds of several soldiers, and then put the bottle back into her waist pocket.

The heart was pounding in her chest, and she even wanted to jump out of her throat, but the girl gritted her teeth tightly, swallowing her saliva, and firmly sealed the excitement in her chest.

——That's not a Molotov cocktail at all, it's just a bottle of holy water, even if it falls on the ground, nothing will happen!
Molotov cocktails are still too 'weak'. After Milan's Abyss Invasion incident, Zhong Ye replaced all of their Molotov cocktails with blazing glue. She didn't dare to take that thing out and dangle it.

Lilian wanted to laugh, wanted to laugh wantonly, but she couldn't laugh now.

The young man breathed a sigh of relief, let go of the hand holding the ring, and focused on Zhong Ye again.

He opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but at this moment, Zhong Ye suddenly said: "By the way, I suggest that you don't use your brains, I am an extraordinary person by virtue of my perception ability, like now, I know There are three breaths below this room, four people are walking around on the first floor, and the sound of ventilation in the dungeon can be heard. Anything that happens in this castle cannot be concealed from my feeling. No matter what you plan to order other people to do, I will It can be sensed immediately."

Hearing this, the Transcendent's face suddenly changed.

'Extraordinary' achieved by perception?Then what happened to the strength and reaction speed he felt before?

As an extraordinary person, the youth's bodyguard is well aware of how much hard work and sweat it takes to become an extraordinary person. This is not something that can be done casually, but the demon hunter in front of him said that he achieved it with other abilities The 'Extraordinary'?
In an instant, the face of the bodyguard of the current lord of Montreux became extremely ugly.

"...I need to ask the priest of the Church of the God of Commerce to do the notarization!" After a moment of silence, the young man let out a foul breath.

If possible, he certainly didn't want the castle to be searched, which would be a provocation to him, and it could even be said to be a threat.

But now, he was indeed being coerced!
"Balmer, go and inform Priest Langston and tell him the 'truth'!"

After finishing speaking, the young man looked at Zhong Ye again with a gloomy expression, "Mr. Demon Hunter, you must not take any action until Priest Langston arrives—this is the most basic respect for a lord!"

"No problem." Zhong Ye agreed heartily.

Without anyone else, he pulled two chairs from the corner of the room, let himself and Lilian sit down, and watched the young man.

Damn witcher...

The young man cursed secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary.

The young man knew very well that before he took any action, the big sword dangling aside would hit his head, and he didn't want to die.

Although it is to track down cultists, this guy can only find out about human trafficking at most, and it is impossible to find out other things!

Zhong Ye and the young man faced each other silently, while Lilian sat aside, watching the noisy barrage, and began to think about Zhong Ye's intentions in doing these things.

Seeing the current lord's confident appearance, there might be nothing in this castle, but Zhong Ye didn't seem to show the slightest worry, and she couldn't help but wonder, could there really be something hidden in the castle?

For a moment, the room fell into silence.

They waited for a long time, until the sun began to slant, and the priests of the Church of the God of Commerce arrived...
