God-level Demon Hunter

After receiving Lodimi's order, Barrel Punk took a few of his most clever boys to guard outside the island of Oxenfurt College.

Not long after noon, they came to their target. Three demon hunters walked out from the Philosopher's Gate. One was wearing a hood, the other was wearing a headband with an expressionless face, and finally a bald man as strong as a beast.

It was the Oakes brothers and Lei Suo who went out to inquire about the wild boar army.

Punke left a buddy to stay at the gate of the academy, and he took the other two younger brothers to follow, because they had heard a lot of weird rumors about the witcher, they didn't dare to get too close, they just stalked from a distance. Behind the three big men, follow from Oxenfurt College all the way to the tavern "Dean's House" in the east block.

After the demon hunter entered the tavern for about 5 minutes, the three of Punk followed in two groups.

It was daytime, and the lobby of the "Dean's House" tavern was only illuminated by the sunlight through the windows, and the light was slightly dim.

At this time, most of the residents of Niubao are busy with work, and they will come out for entertainment after get off work at night, so there are only sporadic five or six tables of guests sitting in the lobby.

The tavernkeeper and bard played a slow, sleepy melody on the lute on the stage,

The three demon hunters sat not far from the wine cabinet. The table in front of them was filled with wine and several large plates of meat. They chatted casually, talking in a particularly loud voice, and kept saying "ass, cow, nai" from their mouths. Vulgar words like "son".

Punk and a brother sat in the corner of the hall, half buried by a shadowy table. Unlike the big-spending demon hunters, they only ordered two glasses of the cheapest dwarf spirits and borrowed a Gwent chessboard from the boss. Pretending to be casual, he started beating Quint.

The other brother sat alone at a table by the window, dressed like a businessman who had failed and wasted money, with a good acting skills, and looked out the window sadly at the passers-by.

"Brother, from my point of view, these three guys don't seem to have any other purpose, they are just addicted to alcohol."

The thin monkey Poporov threw out a card casually, swallowed, and withdrew his sneaky scrutiny.

"Why do you care so much? Just do your duty." Barrel Punk was also slightly surprised in his heart. He thought that the witcher was going to the tavern to inquire about news, but the three guys asked the tavern clerk for a table of strong Liquor, I have never communicated with other people at all.

"Concentrate on playing cards for me, don't keep looking there! Mutants have very poisonous eyes." Barrel Punk randomly threw out a Gwent card, looked at the card, and then smiled,

"54:35, Poporov, you lost!"

After finishing speaking, Barrel Punk couldn't wait to drink a glass of cloudy wine under the envious eyes of the other party.

The slightly sour smell made him frown, but he still swallowed every drop of wine without waste, licked the bottom of the glass clean, and exhaled comfortably.

In fact, the cost of the two glasses of wine was earned by him working as a porter for half a day at Oxenfurt Wharf.

Barrel Punk couldn't help but feel sad that the third leader of the mighty Redanian Wildboar Army has been reduced to such a poor situation.

In the past, when the Everik family was prosperous, his cousins ​​Ogierd and Frodimi would often book the entire tavern for the brothers of the Redanian Wild Boar Army to have a good drink, and they would also invite Oxenfurt Hottest women, let the bros have fun.

However, in just ten years, the Ifric family has completely declined. Not only is the business going from bad to worse, but also there are bad news about investment, and they are losing money every day.

You have to pay an extra sum of money to help the brothers in the gang. After all, most of the more than 40 members of the Wild Boar Army are equivalent to unemployed vagrants, and they are unwilling to farm.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Everec family has borrowed heavily and reached the critical point of life and death.

"When Brother Ogierd completes the business at hand, there will be money in the gang. We must not let the witcher who broke in halfway break the deal!"

There was a cold light in the narrowed eyes of the barrel punk's fat face.

……

"Man, do you remember our experience of tracking that royal griffin in the Amer Mountains?" Oakes wiped the hops from the corner of his mouth, and winked at his brother.

Serrit took a bite of the fried steak covered in hot sauce and bloodshot, showing his white teeth, "Why don't you remember, we borrowed Roy's short-legged horse, Wert, and used it to set a trap and seduce That monster appeared." Serrit snorted, "It's ridiculous that there are still a few wild animals hiding behind us, trying to sneak attack us. By the way, how many are there?"

"Are you drunk? I can't even remember it." Oakes stretched out a carrot-thick finger funnyly, "A wild boar has been hungry for an unknown amount of time, and its hungry eyes are red, and it regards us as prey. But Animals are just animals after all, they don’t have enough wisdom and eyesight to distinguish who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked, and in the end we chased them all the way to our hometown... and made the whole family into roast pigs.”

"Dude, you must have drunk too much!" Lei Suo put down the goblet in his hand and hiccupped, "I remember clearly, it was clearly three wild boars that appeared at that time?"

"you sure?"

"I'm sure."

Amidst the rambling words, several people looked at each other and smiled, and started laughing, drinking and eating meat again.

……

After the three men were full of wine and food, they left the director's house, and soon came to a nearby brothel "Silver Cloud".

"Brother Punk, I think the boss's worries are unnecessary. These guys are just out to have fun, and they didn't find anything!"

Poporov hid in an alley at the end of the street. In his sight, three witchers each embraced a charmingly smiling woman. Their bodies were tightly pressed together, and they entered the room slowly and swaying.

He was drooling sourly.

Punk hesitated for a moment, "Let's go ahead, report the situation to Boss Vlodimi first, and tell me everything, don't add fuel to me! Little Laurie continues to stare at me!"

"Don't worry, just leave it to me, big brother!"

Poporov left contentedly, but he didn't notice a ghostly shadow lurking on the eaves above his head, tiptoeing like a cat, jumping and climbing nimbly and stealthily, followed closely behind.

……

A building in the northwest of Oxenfurt Town, next to the mouth of the sea.

"Boss Flodimi, according to your instructions, we investigated the movements of the demon hunters. Three of them were having fun in taverns and brothels. They didn't mention any information related to us at all, and didn't do anything. Any unusual behavior..." Poporov was full of confidence in his words, "At present, it seems that they don't seem to connect Whishaw's death with us."

Flodimi put his hands behind his back, tapped his toes lightly, and pondered for a moment, "There are five demon hunters in total... where are the other two?"

"At the academy with that old Linus Peet thing."

Vlodimy frowned, his face troubled.

Poporov pursed his lips and advised,

"Boss, in my opinion, it's not too late to act, it's best within these two days, and the group..." Poporov lowered his voice, "Tie the rare animals to the big boss in Novigrad. "

"The witcher just came to Oxenfurt for only two days. After finding out our purpose, we found that the possibility of our plan is very slim. But if we continue to spend with them, maybe..."

"You don't need to remind me, I know it well!" Vlodimi gave his subordinate a fierce look, and then sighed. As he said, this plan is a desperate one, and there is no room for failure.He squeezed his fist, "Are the brothers in Delta ready?"

Poporov was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Of course, boss, didn't you just visit it the day before yesterday? I'm waiting for your order now."

"Have you checked the ship, medicines, weapons and equipment?"

"Boss Punk and I personally check it every day, and there is no problem."

"Then go and send a message to Punk, asking him to gather all the brothers in the gang and gather in this house tomorrow morning."

Vlodimi paused, "We'll start acting tomorrow night at the most."

"Where is Boss Ogierd?"

"I'll go and ask him for instructions right away."

"Gudong..." Suddenly, a strange sound came from the second floor, interrupting the conversation between the two of them. Their hearts skipped a beat, and they ran to the second floor in a hurry, only to see an empty wine bottle rolling gently on the floor. The window was pushed open at some point, and a breeze blew in, and a big orange cat was lying on the window sill, startled by the two of them, meowing strangely.

"Huh... Where did the stupid cat come from? It scared me, I thought someone was eavesdropping!" Poporov stroked his chest,

Vlodimi also breathed a sigh of relief, and walked over to hold the orange cat in his arms and gently stroked its soft fur. He looked at the passers-by on the street outside the window, and made up his mind.

at the same time.

On the eaves outside the window on the second floor, a slender figure squatted quietly, with amber eyes flickering.

"Wild boar army, Frodimi, Ogierd, rare animals, so that's how it is..."

Chapter 13 The Eve of Action

The afternoon passed quietly. When the sun set and the twilight began to merge, the young witcher left the gate of the academy island, returned to the temporary dormitory outside the academy island, and joined Lei Suo, Linus Pete and his party .

"What did you guys do in the afternoon?" Roy's nose moved, and a strong smell of alcohol and cheap perfume from women came from the three big men, "Didn't you say to find out the news?!"

"Stop arguing, the business is important," Lei Suo yelled at the two, and gave Oakes another look, "Now tell me, what you found this afternoon."

Oakes glared at Roy with a grin, and then said slowly, "We just left the Philosopher's Gate this afternoon when we found someone following us," Oakes couldn't help but sneered, "I guarantee those three guys never Knowing the Witcher, a poor performance is like a couple of mice stalking a cat. And then we'll do our tricks..."

……

In Oakes' description, everyone roughly sorted out the context of the whole thing. The Oxenfurt local gangsters led by Frodimi, known as the Redanian Wild Boars, kidnapped the gangsters who often lived in Niu. Whishaw, who was doing a lot of business in the Fort market, got information from him about the rare zoo in the Fort College, and turned to the idea of ​​these rare animals.

In addition, the Redanian Wild Boar Army and a certain big shot in Novigrad have reached a consensus. During this time, they have been secretly planning to prepare ferries, medicines and weapons. According to Oakes' analysis, the medicines should refer to those animals. narcotic drugs.

They will sneak into Oxenfurt College tomorrow night, steal rare animals, and transport them to Novigrad for business.

"I've been kept in the dark?" Linus Pete turned pale and broke out in cold sweat when he heard this. He couldn't imagine how heartbroken it would be to lose these treasures he regarded as his faith. "Fortunately, this group of robbers underestimated your abilities. Several masters..." The Niubao scholar turned to the witcher pleadingly.

"Mr. Linus, needless to say," Oakes showed a ferocious smile, clasped his palms together, and squeezed his knuckles, "The entrustment must be completed from beginning to end, and we will help you completely solve the future troubles. Since they decided to Gather in that room, how about we catch them all at once?"

"I'm afraid not," Linus Pete hesitated. "Although several masters discovered the plan of the Redanian Wild Boar Army, they did not have conclusive evidence to prove that they killed Whishaw and treated my rare Animals have evil intentions."

"And just now Master Oaks mentioned Flodimi..." Linus paused,

"So what?" Oakes asked curiously.

"I have heard my colleagues in the Department of Humanities and History mention that the name Vlodimi is rare, and no accident refers to a direct member of the Ifric family, and the ancestors of this family once followed the great Radovid I created the Redanian Dynasty and was a founding hero. It is unbelievable that the descendants of a great family would degenerate to make a living by such a low-level means."

"By the way, the symbol of their family is a wild boar."

"Is it hard to deal with?"

Linus shook his head, "On the contrary, the Everec family is not as good as the previous generation, and now it has completely declined, barely considered a small noble. But they still retain a certain influence in the local area, and they have no conclusive evidence to confirm There is no cure for Vlodimy."

Fliers, who had been silent all this time, interjected indifferently, "Mr. Linus, demon hunters have their own criteria for judging. Think about what this group of people have done. They are idle and harassing the people. The identity of the murderer, is it worth using evidence to try them?"

The cat sent the demon hunter decisively, "We only need a few alchemy bombs, and we can make a room full of people lose their fighting power. And with our five demon hunters and Cantila, we are enough to block all the exits of the villa, and we will not let them go." A fish that slipped through the net."

"Then put them..." Phlius made a gesture to cut his throat, a cold light flickered in his gray-green eyes, "kill them all to avoid future troubles."

"It's the best choice."

The little boy was startled by his teacher's words, and suddenly shrank his shoulders.

Others have different expressions.

Linus Pete's face was pale, and he said cautiously, "Master Flierus, I don't think those guys deserve death. Wouldn't it be too much to kill them all?"

Although the Niubao scholars hated this group of people for killing their own students, rationality and gentleness still dominated their personality.

He is more willing to use the law to punish these executioners.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Linus," Leto said, shaking his shiny bald head, "The vulture is just joking with you. A downtown area like Oxenfurt is definitely not suitable for mass killings. It's best to deal with them according to the law."

"I'm not joking..." Fulius said seriously, stroking the student's hair reassuringly.

"We have to respect Mr. Linus's opinion. He wants evidence, so try to find a way to get the stolen goods." Lei Suo concluded, "We pretend we don't know anything, let the wild boar army move, and wait for them to enter the academy After that, wait for the opportunity to do it again, come and get the stolen goods!"

"This couldn't be more appropriate..." Linus breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll notify the academy's security department tomorrow, and transfer some people to cooperate with the master, so that those guys will come and go."

"It's not necessary..." Serritt declined, "It will disrupt the rhythm if outsiders get involved. What do you think, Roy? Roy?!"

"Huh?" The young witcher woke up like a dream.

"Little ghost, this kind of emergency distraction is not like your style."

"I'm sorry...but I have no objection, so we will follow everyone's discussion." The young demon hunter still seemed distracted, and he was thinking of another matter.

"Flodimi, the Everec family, I seem to have accidentally provoked an old acquaintance again."

He thought that the Ifric family was healthy at this point in time, so the story of Heart of Stone should not have happened yet.

……

The next day, beach villa.

"Ogierd, you don't look very well, didn't you sleep well last night?" Flodimi looked at his brother's dark eye circles, and teased, "Or is it because Alice is not here that I can't sleep alone?"

All the brothers of the Everik family are tall and tall, but Ogierd is more handsome, while Vlodimi's facial features are too angular, making him look fierce.

"Enough! I don't want to hear her name today..." Ogierd rubbed his eyebrows irritably. Alice was indeed brought home by his mother-in-law and father-in-law yesterday.

But my own insomnia is another matter, stemming from a very real nightmare.

The scene in the dream not only confused him, but also made him feel fear and despair.

"Dreams and reality are often opposite." Ogierd could only comfort himself in this way.

"My poor brother, look at your terrible face, don't put too much pressure on yourself." Vlodimi put his arms around his brother's shoulders, turned around suddenly, and faced the forty people in the hall.

This group of people are all between 30 and [-] years old, dressed plainly, their skin is tanned by the sun, their bodies are thin, and their eyes are more hostile than ordinary peasant children.

There is a trace of excitement and longing on the young faces.

"Brothers are all ready, after the 'goods' are shipped tonight, and the final payment is returned, let's wrap up Yinyun and relax!"

Ogierd took a deep breath, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart,

"How is the market going?"

"Don't worry, Punk has 'convinced' the fish and meat peddlers that the 'seasoning' has been added, and we'll wait for Linus Pete to send someone to pick it up."

"We deliberately increased the dose, enough to stun the dragon... About two hours after eating, the anesthetic took effect, and the dozen or so animals would sleep for at least a day and a night, at our mercy."

"As for the witcher," Vlodimi smiled disdainfully, "it's nothing to worry about drinking and having fun like yesterday."
