God-level Demon Hunter

Note: Activation cannot be superimposed and stored, and will disappear automatically within one day. "

……

Roy pondered for a moment. Activation is a derived ability to meditation, just like the relationship between deterrence and slaughter.

Meditation level will definitely affect the effect of "activation".

At this stage, the recovery of 20.00% of life at one time is not as good as the 30.00% of the swallow potion, but the effect is faster, and it is definitely not the slow recovery of the latter that lasts for more than ten minutes.

Plus the effect of restoring mana - 20.00% is 33 points, enough to use the seal once more.

And there is no need to consider the cost consumption of potions, and there is no side effect of potions.

"A blue bottle plus a red bottle will be automatically stored after the daily routine meditation, which is convenient and trouble-free."

With this in mind, Roy restrained his thoughts. In the watery night, accompanied by crackling sparks, the big man beside him breathed steadily.

Gradually entered the gorgeous world of meditation.

……

The next morning, the young witcher woke up from his meditation and touched the wound on his left shoulder. It was actually closed and itchy, leaving only a faint scar.

"The effect of activating and healing minor injuries is not bad."

Not long after, the two witchers came to a hillside to the east of the village of White Orchard, where Sir Valeryreth's castle was located.

The castle was named after Amavit, one of Temeria's kings, and the White Orchards had been run by the Virireth family for generations.The walls of the castle are covered with moss and heavy vines, and the location of the castle is excellent to clearly overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire white orchard, giving a panoramic view of the general situation in the village.

In front of the gate of the castle, two soldiers in cotton armor and with long swords on their waists were on guard. At a glance, they spotted two demon hunters who were covered in black cloaks with only their faces exposed.

"Please stop, both of you, and report your identity and purpose of coming." The soldier's tone was not good. The appearance of the two demon hunters was not very good. too appalling.

"We're here to visit Lord Ignacio, we have something important to discuss."

"Is there something important to discuss?" The soldier looked back and forth through the slit of the metal helmet, "The lord is busy with business, and I don't have time to see you, so leave quickly."

"We are witchers..."

This sentence seemed to contain a calm magic power. The two soldiers were stunned for a few seconds, and then one of them turned around and ran into the castle in a hurry. After a few minutes, he led a rich middle-aged man over. .

"The two are demon hunters?" The visitor was wearing a yellow-brown tights, with a round face and fair skin, and spoke very politely, not even the slightest bit of contempt or disdain for demon hunters.

"I'm Reso of Guleta, the snake-sect demon hunter, and this is Roy."

"Very good..." The man rubbed his hands together, with a hint of uncontrollable excitement in his tone. "You two came at the right time, and you are needed in some places."

"You are……"

"Oh, by the way..." The man stretched out his hand towards the witcher, his palm was smooth and free from calluses, "I'm Grant, the butler of Sir Villiers, please come with me, both of you, and walk slowly inside." chat."

……

The witcher followed the butler into the castle. The hall of the castle was decorated simply, without the luxury of ordinary nobles.

Oil paintings, specimens of wild animals, armor, none of them can be seen.

The windows above the surrounding walls were sealed, so the sunlight could not penetrate, and the room looked a bit cold.In the entire hall, only a few sporadic magic lamps on the ceiling provide illumination.

There are quite a few servants who are busy coming and going.

Grant led the two of them to the corridor in front of the main hall, and suddenly stopped a maid who came down from the stairs, "Ragna, what's the master's place?"

"I just drank some wine and fell asleep. Liv is watching by the bed."

After hearing this, Grant stretched his brows and eyes, "Go down..."

The two witchers exchanged a look.

"The life of a degenerate aristocrat, who just went to bed early in the morning and played all night long?"

……

Grant led the two into his office, and politely poured them a cup of black tea.

"I haven't seen a witcher near White Orchard for two years, and the two are really rare visitors." Grant recalled,

Roy asked seemingly casually, "Then when was the last time you saw a witcher?"

Grant smiled and did not answer, "I heard from the guard that you have something important to discuss with the lord?"

"There is such a thing..." Lei Suo said according to the previously discussed, they will take some time to figure out the whole story, "Roy and I are tracking a monster near the White Orchard, but this animal is extremely cunning, from our escaped under the nose, and finally disappeared near this castle..."

"What do you mean, there are monsters hiding in the great Amavite Castle?" Grant looked strange,

"High probability."

"What monster?"

"With all due respect, even if I tell you the species of the monster, non-professionals will not know what it is. But I guarantee that it is extremely dangerous and cruel. It can easily kill people."

"I think the lord is definitely not willing to let such a thing break into his house suddenly. As long as we search all of them, it will never escape the palm of the demon hunter." Lei Suo saw the embarrassment on the housekeeper's face, so he said , "If you can't make a decision, let us have a face-to-face discussion with the lord."

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Lei Suo, it's inconvenient for you to receive guests right now." Grant lost the smile on his face, "I don't agree with what you said. Amavite Castle is heavily guarded day and night, and it is absolutely impossible to let one of them in. Dangerous monster."

"What's more, there are dozens of permanent residents in the castle, and dozens of pairs of eyes. If this thing is really allowed to come in, it will be noticed. But at the morning meeting today, the servants said that everything is normal."

"They are not professionals..."

"Okay, both of you! I'm not interested in listening to the horror story of 'ghosts sneaking into the castle' right now, but I have a request in my hand, would you like to hear it?"

"Tell me."

"This is your old business." The butler paused, "Sir Villiers' mother passed away two years ago, and he has no relatives anymore, and he has always felt very lonely. After that, the Sir wanted to enter the tomb many times Worshiping relatives, but inexplicably there are many terrifying evil spirits in the tomb, blocking the way for Jazz to worship relatives."

"If you two can get rid of the evil spirits in the tomb and let the adults fulfill their vows, there will be great rewards."

After the butler finished his statement, the demon hunters looked at each other. The world was still really wonderful. They had just left the Viriles family tomb, but the big butler actually asked them to clean up the monsters.

"Butler Grant, since you mentioned the tomb, I don't need to say anything more," Roy folded his arms around his chest, with a half-smile, "You can give us the reward now."

"What do you mean?"

"Just yesterday, Lei Suo and I wiped out all the monsters in the tomb."

"How is it possible!" Grant yelled, stood up from the chair, his face flickered with joy, and his face became stern again, "Demon hunter, you must know that there is no way to deceive the Villiers family on the border of White Orchard." What's the end?"

"If you don't believe it, just send someone to verify it."

The butler looked at the two demon hunters again with piercing eyes, and he couldn't believe their confident and steady appearance, "Let me think about it, the two monsters you tracked after cleaning the tomb yesterday..."

"Can you guess? That saves me a lot of tongue. The monster you disdained just now escaped from the tomb. Speaking of which, the monster has a deep relationship with Jazz..." Roy Dark Gold Staring at the butler with wide eyes, he said in a low voice, "Maybe, it is lurking beside Sir's bed."

Chapter 10 Ignatius' Past

"Tap, tap, tap, tap..." The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the corridor, and Grant panted and pushed open the bedroom door on the top floor of the castle. At a glance, the fine sandalwood bed in the center of the spacious and bright bedroom Inside, lay a pale, alcohol-smelling, slightly puffy man. The man was obviously fast asleep, with heaving chest and loud snoring.Beside the bed, there was also a petite maid waiting on her.

"It's fine." Grant breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm really insane to believe the nonsense of those two witchers!"

But his worries are not unreasonable.

If something happens to Sir Ignatius, the Villiers family will be completely extinct.

At that time, the ruling right of the White Orchard was taken back by Vizima, and their servants, including the superficially handsome housekeeper, could only go back to be farmers and plan food in the land.

Grant was used to being an old dog to the nobles, and Grant was unwilling to become a muddy leg again.

The aristocracy, even the lowest baron, no matter how corrupt his life style is, he is still an aristocrat, nobler than ordinary people.Grant strengthened his belief and gently closed the bedroom door, he wanted to send someone to the tomb to check.

……

Roy drank the red tea, and put a slice of lemon in the tea, which was slightly sour. "I don't think the butler is lying. It doesn't look like the castle has been invaded by a banshee. Maybe it has already left the White Orchard." All the way to the present, he I looked at all the objects that can be observed, but unfortunately they are all ordinary people.

The pendant on the chest did not indicate that they had any magic power fluctuations.

"Then find a chance to search the castle." Lesso said, "The blueprint of the Serpent's silver sword must be stored somewhere by Ignacio."

"Don't forget, to retrieve the blueprint, you have to seek justice for Colgrim in front of Ignatius." Roy said, "And think about what the proprietress of the tavern mentioned. Ignatius once The crimes committed by the orchard are simply more terrible than the devil... If there is a chance, why don't we just do it?"

The young witcher turned his palm into a knife and made a false slash.

"Don't be impatient, Roy. The noble territory is not a bandit den... The current situation does not allow us to mess around!" Lei Suo rubbed his chin and said seriously, "I don't want to use the name of assassinating nobles to become Notorious Temerian wanted man."

"It's not easy to mix in the south, and we can't cut off the back road in the north."

"I'm just kidding."

"Kats..." The door of the office was suddenly pushed open. Grant wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked in. He smiled at the two witchers on the sofa, "Sir is sleeping soundly now, I'm sure the two masters The monster you are worried about is not in the castle. Just now, I have sent someone to the tomb to check the situation, and there will be news before noon, but you two will have to wait for a while."

"Exactly," Leto said, "We have a few questions we want to ask Butler Grant."

"Master, please speak." Grant lay down on the wicker chair in front of the desk, his eyes narrowed comfortably.

"When we came here before, we overheard the communication between the butler and the servant," Leto said thoughtfully, "Your lord just went to sleep this morning?"

"This is not a rare thing, and I won't hide it from you..." Grant frowned, with a worried look on his face, "Sir has always suffered from insomnia, and he always stays up until the morning when he is exhausted before falling asleep."

"The Jazz has to rest during the day, and the burden of managing the entire castle rests on the shoulders of the butler. It must be very hard."

Grant couldn't help puffing up his chest after hearing this, and his round fat face showed a bit of complacency.

"I can't help it. Being a servant is to share the master's worries. Sir is not in good health and lacks energy. I want to take care of the castle for him so that he doesn't have such a headache."

"It's really loyal..." the demon hunter admired, and the sarcasm in his eyes flashed away, "Subordinates like Butler Grant must have worked in the castle for many years and are highly regarded."

The words of the witcher just scratched the itch in Grant's heart, and his fat face began to glow, "I have been working in the Amaviet Fortress since I was 12 years old, when Master John and Lady Mary were still alive..." Opening his mouth was like a flood that opened the gate, flaunting his past endlessly.

And the two demon hunters quietly exchanged glances.

"The master saw that although I was young, I was extremely capable and my ancestors had been farming for three generations with a clean fortune, so he made an exception and promoted me to be a housekeeper..." The housekeeper spit and raised his head inadvertently, and then he saw the demon hunter swipe at himself. With a strange gesture, the look in his pupils completely dimmed, and he slumped in the rattan chair, dumbfounded like a puppet.

"Now, let's talk about something interesting," Roy locked the office door and got straight to the point, "Two years ago, Sir Ignatius tried a demon hunter named Kolgrim, and You wrongly accused him of kidnapping the beekeeper's son, do you have any impression?"

"Remember...remember."

"The sergeant found a blueprint from Colgrim. Do you know where he hid the blueprint?"

"The basement..." Grant said with a stiff face, "Sir thinks the monster's weapon blueprint is not valuable for collection, so he asked me to throw it into a box in the basement and put it together with the sundries."

Excitement flashed in Roy's eyes. He didn't expect to get important information so easily.

Now it is one step away, they will bring back the long-lost equipment blueprint of Viper School.

The two then asked about the location of the basement.

"Under the kitchen?" Roy couldn't wait to find out, but too many people in the castle had noticed their whereabouts, and this time was obviously not suitable for action.

The inquiry is far from over, and the two still have questions about the village of Baiguoyuan and the tomb.

"What is Sir Ignatius busy with on weekdays?"

"Drinking..." Grant replied mechanically.

"Have you noticed that Sir has some strange behaviors, such as tinkering with a bunch of bottles, herbs, mysterious liquids, and flipping through books that you can't understand at all?" Roy's voice tightened.

"No..." Grant replied decisively, "Sir hates books the most in his life. When he is sober, he is either drinking or crying with his relatives' portraits in his arms."

This is completely the image of a middle-aged widower who abandons himself, but according to the statement of the proprietress of White Orchard, Ignacio is by no means such a weak and decadent person, he is absurd and cruel.

"Before that, what caused Sir Ignatius to slaughter more than half of the villagers in White Orchard?"

This is the great change mentioned by the tavern proprietress.

Grant's lips trembled, and a trace of struggle appeared on his face. After struggling for a few seconds, his expression returned to calm, and he answered the witcher's question obediently.

"Because of Sir's actions in the past years, the residents of White Orchard sent a petition to the Vizima Court, and finally the Vizima Court recognized their dissatisfaction and allowed them to move out of White Orchard. Sir witnessed the people of They left one by one, couldn't help but give in, and sent someone to persuade the crowd."

"But the peasants, backed by the court of Vizima, said some nasty things to the sergeant, which pissed him off. And then the killing started, and it got out of hand."

"This can't be used as an excuse for Ignatius to disregard human life, he is a butcher!" Roy said, and then rubbed his temples. He noticed Brandt's first sentence, stared at the butler's calm face and asked,

"In the final analysis, it was the petition of the villagers of the White Orchard that triggered the massacre... Then what did Ignacio do before that to drive the peasants to this point?"

In this era, farmers will never take the initiative to leave the land they depend on for their livelihood unless they are forced to do so.

"Is Ignacio more terrifying than a robber?"

In the next second, Grant's facial features shrank into a ball, the fat on his face trembled, sweat appeared on his forehead, and his resistance to the seal became more intense.

Both Lei Suo and Roy raised their hearts. The more intense the steward's resistance, the more thorny their questions were, and the closer they were to the secret of the castle.Of course, it is also possible to wake up the housekeeper directly.

The butler stammered, "Sir... Sir... Sir's reputation and... style are not very good..."

"What a bad idea?"

"Sir... Sir found out that his son, Master Florian, fell in love with a same-sex friend, a hunter in the village, and expelled the hunter. The master hanged himself and died. To make matters worse, the old lady Mary also died two years later. .”
