God-level Demon Hunter

"The second task can only be pushed back."

"Ding--"

Roy made dazzling movements with the five fingers of his left hand. He flicked several Oren into the air in a row, grabbed them horizontally with his right hand, and then let go of the five fingers, and the coins disappeared suddenly.

……

A villa in the Vizima trade zone.

"Kaz—" The iron-clad oak door slowly opened, and a male voice that was as sharp as a file but with a hint of joy came out from inside the door.

"Boy Roy, please come in quickly! This damn is the guidance of the elements! You came at the right time."

The witcher stepped on the light blue carpet and crossed the narrow hallway. The daylight disappeared, the room was dark at first, and then the lights were turned on. The door behind him made a sound of "Kaz", and it closed automatically without wind.

In the center of the spacious and empty hall on the first floor, a man in a saffron nightgown greeted him with strides.

The swaying crystal chandelier casts colorful and eerie light, illuminating his funny appearance.

A head of oily dark brown long hair was draped casually behind his head, the clothes on both shoulders were full of dandruff, he had a messy goatee on his chin, protruding browbones, a flat upturned nose, and sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks.

It's just a gorilla in gorgeous clothes!

Roy suppressed his smile.

"Master Kalkstein... um...you still look good."

The two hands shook lightly in mid-air, one was slender and powerful, and the other forearm was covered with black hair, as if it came from a curly-haired baboon.

Kalkstein rubbed his bloodshot eyes as if he hadn't slept for several nights, and grinned strangely with his expression inexplicably excited.

He affectionately pulled Roy's hand to the side of the sofa, and poured a glass of Black Blondon, a steaming unknown liquid that smelled of herbs.

"Roy, good boy, why did you suddenly come to me after ten years of separation, and plan to continue studying alchemy?" The alchemist pinched the goatee on his chin, looked him up and down, nodded repeatedly,

"The irises are different colors, the body is stronger than a cow, and the magical aura on your body is extremely strong. You have obviously undergone a second mutation? Your strength should have improved a little bit, what a coincidence..."

"Master, did you remember wrongly? What is ten years apart? The last time we met was obviously less than two years ago!" Roy raised his eyebrows, and took out Golfin Squirrel from the hood behind his head, and put it in front of the table , let her experiment with that weird-looking drink.

"Oh, be considerate of forgetful old people. Those who engage in research tend to lose their minds once they devote themselves to it..." The alchemist sighed, and said without changing his face, "But whether it is ten years or one year... I met A tricky problem that needs the help of a strong person!"

"I'm too lazy to post the notice, are you willing to accept this commission?" He scratched his messy hair, flakes of dander flying like fireflies. "As a reward, I will teach you advanced alchemy knowledge!"

"Wait a moment... In fact, my visit this time is not for alchemy but for something else..." Roy thought for a while, and he didn't need to beat around the bush when communicating with this kind of research madman whose time is money. Said, "I would like to ask you to come to Nuocheng and help me improve the demon hunter's grass trial."

Kalkstein tilted his head, wrapped his right hand around his ear in a trumpet shape, and brought it to the mouth of the witcher.

"Where?"

"To Novigrad."

"Improve what?"

"Grass Trial!"

The smile on the alchemist's face disappeared, and he put his hands on his hips suddenly. His eyes the size of rice grains were wide open, and he looked at Roy with a serious expression, as if he was thinking about the difficult problem of life and death.

Roy also remained silent, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved, impressing him with sincere eyes.

"Not interested." After 30 seconds, the alchemist shook his head, "My entrustment and your request are two different things... You help me solve the trouble, just ask for something else."

"But I can't spare a year... One year, twelve months, about 52 weeks, 360 five days..." The man spit out a series of numbers like a cannonball, staring at the witcher, and raised his voice to conclude Said, "About one hundred thousand Oren."

Roy gasped.

Good guy, you really dare to open your mouth like a lion.

"Ten thousand Oren..." He countered the price succinctly.

"What do you say?"

"If you go to Nuocheng to help, I will give you an annual salary of [-] Oren."

Well, it happened to make a fortune, and it was less than the salary that Coral refused.

Kalkstein froze for a moment when he heard the words, and shook his fingers pulling his beard, as if he had been greatly frightened and insulted.

He blew his beard and stared,

"Boy... Do you think this is a business in the market? Are you still bargaining with me? Are you a profiteer or a demon hunter, you just gave me a 1% discount. Do you know how much I am worth for [-] minute?"

"If you don't want to, then I can only say sorry...you should find someone else for your entrustment." Roy shook his head regretfully, and kept Golfanti, but felt that something was wrong with his little pet , "Gorfin, hey! Wake up!"

The big yellow-brown squirrel stood in Roy's palm, with two small paws embracing his index finger, and its two legs were raised and lowered as if stepping on cotton. Son.

"Don't worry, the drink was mixed with a little dwarf spirits just now, it's probably drunk..." Kalkstein snapped his fingers, and a soft "meow" came from the shadows on the second floor. The big black cat, shaking its fat body, stepped on the "catwalk" enchantingly, and jumped onto the table in front of the fireplace.

The long and full tail is raised high behind the buttocks.

"Meow--"

"Hello, Sandro... I have eaten well for the past two years, and I have gained weight again." Roy patted the black cat's soft, fluffy belly vigorously, and it meowed and meowed towards the drunk Golfing. Out of meat claws.

Apparently it recognized the old friend.

"Roy, let Sandro take care of your pet. I will guarantee it. If any accident occurs, I will be your slave! Now let's talk about my entrustment. The remuneration will definitely satisfy you."

……

"I'm not interested. Do you know how much I'm worth per minute? I don't have time to waste time with you. I should go back to Nuocheng." Roy retorted.

Getting up from the sofa, he stroked Sandro's drooping beard due to relaxation, and held Golfin's thick and soft tail upside down, swinging in front of Sandro's face like a pendulum.

Kalkstein grinned, revealing his top set of teeth, one of which gleamed gold.

He wrapped his right fist with his left palm and pondered for a long time.

"Okay, little profiteer, if you complete the task beautifully. I will go to Nuocheng to help you improve the grass trial, and I don't need your [-] oren, and I will do it for free."

"But it will last for one year... I will leave immediately when it expires, and I still have projects to work on."

……

Now it was Roy's turn to be surprised that the crazy alchemist compromised so easily.

"So the task is very difficult..." He put Golfing on Sandro's back, and the big black cat immediately ran up to the second floor with the squirrel on its back. "You don't want to turn me into some Garuda or Oriole again, do you?"

"Actually, the difficulty is slightly higher than last time." The alchemist rubbed the index finger and thumb of his right hand, "The magical aura on your body exceeds that of ordinary demon hunters. , alchemy potion, if there is no accident, it will definitely catch a living experimental sample."

"You have misunderstood. I am just an ordinary demon hunter. I seek good fortune and avoid evil, and I will never interfere with the commission of death. So—" Roy had an ominous premonition in his heart, "You let me catch you what?"

"A high-ranking vampire,"

"..."

The hall suddenly fell into dead silence, only the beating heartbeat of the alchemist could be heard.

Roy stared at his squinting eyes without blinking.

"You heard me right, your target is a noble among vampires, a high-ranking vampire that looks exactly like a human."

Without saying a word, the witcher walked out.

"Hey, little profiteer! Little vampire! Master Roy, wait!"

Kalkstein was sweating profusely and pulled him back to the sofa.

Roy rubbed his face and took a deep breath.

Although not long ago, his combat power had been qualitatively improved, but he didn't think arrogantly that he had any advantage in facing high-level vampires.

Their attribute, light agility, has at least exceeded the third level, which is twice as high as Roy's.

But he's a little goofy.

The "hardening elixir" that improves the blood of the ancients is lacking the blood essence of blindly high-level vampires.

Roy pretended to be forced to sigh helplessly,

"Tell me, master alchemist with a mind full of innovation, what inspiration did you have, where are there high-level vampires?"

"Haha, I knew you were different from those cowards!"

The alchemist scratched his hair that was close to the Mediterranean Sea, with his hands behind his back, he walked slowly around the sofa,

"Just recently, the proprietress of the Night Queen's House approached me..."

"Queen of the night?" Roy was startled, "Don't tell me to deal with her!"

"No, you have misunderstood." The alchemist looked surprised and glanced at Roy, "It seems that you know the real identity of the proprietress?"

"Demon hunters are in this business, and I know exactly where there are monsters!" Roy said. "The Queen of the Night is a high-ranking vampire."

"That's right, her strength is unfathomable." Kalkstein nodded, "I don't dare to provoke her casually, I can only maintain a good customer relationship with her. She often comes to me to buy some drugs for people's enjoyment."

"Sold to guests of the Night Queen's House."

"I heard that the Queen of the Night is a 'vegetarian'?" Roy asked.

"It can be said that she has been hiding well, and abides by the local laws of Vizima, and never kills innocent people... She uses a friendly and happy way to find her own food source... and knows when to stop .”

"Surviving safely and soundly in the human world for decades..."

Roy breathed out, and the information matched the memory in his mind.

The only difference is that the Queen of the Night's subordinates are all ordinary women, not a group of vampires.

Otherwise, it would have been exposed long ago.

"I admit that I am full of desire to explore the group of high-level vampires, and I can't wait to dissect one to study and see how powerful the so-called indestructible body is, but I dare not act rashly." Kalkstein said fearfully Said, "She has an equally powerful concubine out there, in Finn Kahn."

"What's more, as a regular customer, she is quite generous to me. I don't want to tear myself apart unless it is absolutely necessary."

Roy thought for a while, and if nothing unexpected happened, the Queen of the Night's concubine was none other than Regis, the barber.

"My heart is itching, even more so than when I heard about the lady in the lake." He stared at the empty living room and muttered to himself in a daze,

"The lady in the lake is something I can't afford to provoke."

"As for high-level vampires—not long ago, the Queen of the Night bought high-level black blood from me, the kind of potion specially used by demon hunters to deal with vampires. Don't be surprised, I'm already over 200 years old, and I have mastered some special alchemy formulas Nothing could be more normal."

"A question arises in my mind, who is the black blood used against?"

Kalkstein seems to be asking Roy, but also seems to be asking himself,

"Later, through a series of investigations, I discovered that there were several murders on the outskirts of Vizima. The dead seemed to be torn apart by crazy beasts, and the Queen of the Night's men often carried the 'black blood' I marked Crime scene--"

"So another high-level vampire appeared in Vizima?" Roy blurted out, "An uninvited guest, he broke the rules, acted recklessly, and behaved extremely badly. He angered the Queen of the Night."

"Crack!" Kalkstein clapped his hands heavily, "As expected of a demon hunter, this is exactly my analysis, a ready-made high-level vampire who offends the 'locals', this is my chance."

"No, the perpetrators may also be low-level vampires, such as bat-winged brain demons, or werewolves."

"These things are not enough to attract the Queen of the Night!" Kalkstein said firmly, "Trust me, buddy, my intuition is never wrong, the murderer must be a high-level vampire!"

"I want to catch this 'intruder', imprison him, and make it a durable, continuous experimental material!" The alchemist's eyes glowed with gold, like a starving ghost trembling with excitement when he saw delicious food , the tone is full of fanaticism,

"A high-level vampire is enough to support my research plan for the next 50 years."

"I, the greatest alchemist, will leave all my colleagues behind and be the first mage to study such a strange creation!"

……

"Your Excellency Kalkstein, I have to say that you are daring and crazy. Think about it, why don't your colleagues dare to attack Gao?" Roy put his arms around his chest and poured a bucket of cold water on him seriously and rationally. "Conventional means can't destroy this kind of thing at all. Imprisoning a high-level vampire is tantamount to setting itself on fire. Once he escapes... the consequences will be unimaginable. Not only you, but the entire Vizima will suffer!"

"Look, you've also heard about the nearly immortal species, don't you be indifferent to their secrets? What if some traits can be added to the mutation of the witcher—"

Roy couldn't help making assumptions, and took a tight breath.

"For the sake of research, it's just commonplace to take some risks!" Kalkstein coaxed, "I finally waited for such an opportunity, and I will never give up!"

"One yard for one yard. If you help me find the whereabouts of the high-level vampire and arrest him, I will not only share some of the results with you, but I will also work hard for you for a year."

"Why don't you try to contact the Queen of the Night? Team up with her, you're both interested in the invaders."

"I made a hidden test. Unfortunately, the result is that she will not let me take away a similar one. I guess it is some kind of strong binding rules within their race."

"This is normal. No matter how absurd and hateful the same kind is, it cannot be handed over to other races for research, otherwise it will be an out-and-out act of betrayal!"

The alchemist shook his head regretfully, "So I can only find another partner,"

Roy was silent for a while, he was still full of worries, "In terms of fighting alone, I am not an opponent of high-level vampires,"

"Don't worry, buddy, I will do my best to assist you," the alchemist said confidently, taking a deep breath, "I have the most luxurious alchemy potions and enchanting equipment in my collection, matched with your skill and force, strong Combine!"

"Believe me, even a dragon will have to kneel!"

"And you don't need to keep your hands, play to your heart's content, let that thing lose its fighting power, it doesn't matter if you cut off its head or take out its heart! Even if it turns into a puddle of meat, I want it."
