God-level Demon Hunter

After finishing speaking, he mumbled another cup.

Roy turned his head and glanced at the dwarf who was slightly drunk, and felt that this matter was likely to be possible.

Pretending to have another drink, he asked seemingly casually,

"Have you heard about the four cases around Carbon Hill in recent months?"

The dwarf was in a daze for a moment, and then showed a fierce look on his face, "Which Tanshan person doesn't know?! The vile murderer destroyed four families! Don't be caught by me, or his head will be shot off with an arrow!"

Then he said formulaically to him, "By the way, this matter cannot be disclosed to the villagers outside Carbon Mountain!"

Roy spread his hands, "Don't worry, of course I understand. But do you know if there is anything special about the four victims? Or something in common."

"Ah? What do they have in common? Where do I know that? The Great Elder is not allowed to spread the word." Reagan wiped the wine from his beard, unable to answer,

He turned his head and glanced at Dulu and Diff again, both of them looked blank, but Bernie suddenly clapped his hands while he was stuttering,

"Yes! Adria...Foss...the two dead are employees of the fifth mining area, and Kelvin Hogg...is in charge of the mining area."

"Two of the four dead were workers from the fifth mining area?" Roy's heart moved, "There are two more?"

"The hunting party...and the patrolling party..."

"How many mining areas are there in Carbon Mountain?"

"Fifteen..."

There are so many mining areas, and the deer head spirit chose two targets from the fifth mining area. Roy was a little surprised, was it just a coincidence? "There were two dead in Kelvin's mining area, so it should be considered a major mistake? He is not responsible?"

"Heh..." Difu with a big belly on the other side took over the conversation, with a hint of contempt on his face, and said in a low voice, "It's not surprising, that kid has average abilities, but he's good at flattering people. He circled around the elder all day, please him."

"He asked for the job of the captain of the mine guard with a single mouth. The elder was also soft-hearted, and gave him the task of assisting in the pursuit of the murderer. That guy has just grown up and has neither experience nor ability. How can he be qualified? To be the captain? The murderer made it clear that he only picked soft persimmons, so he killed both of them."

He suddenly leaned into Roy's ear and said mysteriously,

"Actually, there is still a rumor among the guards of our Mahakam sentry. Kelvin Hogg is actually not the nephew or nephew of the Great Elder's messy streets at all, but... his own son and illegitimate son. Remember to keep it secret!"

"That's enough, Div, you've lost your mind before drinking?! If you keep chewing your tongue, I'll kick you out of Mahakam!"

"Fifth Mining District Kelvin."

Roy thought about it, and then remembered the guy's bad attitude towards him when we first met, "Kelvin hates humans? Are you prejudiced against humans?"

The four dwarves shook their heads, "I don't know..."

Chapter 49 Scoia'tael

After drinking a few more cups, the dwarf had a hint of drunkenness on his face.

Roy's questions became more casual and seemingly irrelevant.

"I heard that there are not only dwarves living in Mahakam, but also a large number of goblins, but since entering Carbon Mountain, I haven't seen a goblin. What is the reason?" Goblins are the oldest race in the world. Dwarves are shorter, but craftsmen are more skilled than dwarves.

"More than ten years ago, there was a group of goblins living in Mahakam... They were not big, and their tempers became more and more irritable, but there is nothing to say about metallurgy and forging." The dwarf stroked his beard, and the color of memory appeared in his black eyes, "But Later, they all moved away, and it is said that they moved to the Tir Tosha Mountains, the real stronghold of the goblins. The specific reason is not clear, maybe the Great Elder knows."

The young man thought it was a pity, he could only wait for the opportunity to meet the legendary species again.

"By the way, Boss Reagan, Bernie, Dulu, and Div, have you ever left Carbon Mountain? Have you ever seen a world other than Mahakam?"

"What's good outside the mountain?" Difu shook his head, his hairy face was full of disdain, "Alcohol, weapons, and women are not as good as Carbon Mountain, so why go out and suffer. Besides, leaving Carbon Mountain means giving up your own house, without a house How can I get a wife? I don't plan to go out anyway."

"You can't be too absolute." Reagan put down his wine glass, and there was a trace of longing in his eyes, "In a few years, after I turn 60, I want to go out and make a fortune, go to Brother Pauly, and practice martial arts with Master Yarpan , it’s best to make a name for yourself, and when you return to Tanshan, why worry about not having a woman in your arms?”

Du Lu nodded straight, and the reflection of the wine glass in his eyes was replaced by a woman.

The stammering dwarf, Bernie, frowned and objected, "Outside...dangerous...robbers...cunning humans...in the mountains and forests...the Scoia'tael."

Reagan suddenly covered his mouth, and the expressions of Dulu and Div also changed.

This was the second time Roy heard the name of this organization, first from Sewell Hogg, and then from Bernie.The former, as the nephew of Elder Tanshan, is a dignified Edsberg liquor agent, well-informed, and it is not surprising that he knows Scoia'tael.

But Bernie is a small character in Carbon Mountain, where did he hear about Scoia'tael?

Thinking of this, he took a sip of the spirits. This time he didn't cheat. After swallowing, his face flushed, and he followed Bernie's words and asked, "Have you seen Scoia'tael?"

"What Scoia'tael?" The dwarf shook his head, "You misheard, little brother, come on, let's continue drinking, no matter what Scoia'tael or Rats are."

"Boss Reagan, why don't you open your mouth," Roy said half-truthfully, "I'm from Lower Posada in Aedirn, have you heard of it? Not far to the east is the Valley of Flowers. If I had known there was a group of elves living in the valley, Because of the blood feud of the past generations, they have always regarded human beings as their sworn enemies, and used various illegal means to attack the human beings in the north, stealing, robbing, and killing emerge in endlessly.”

"The originally loose extremist elves gradually formed an organization under the leadership of an elf sorceress. Because they like to wear squirrel tails and tattoos on their bodies, they are called Scoia'tael."

The ultimate goal of the Scoia'tael is to completely defeat the humans in the north, establish their own country, and never be bullied and humiliated by humans again.In fact, non-human races in most northern countries, especially elves and elves of mixed race, were humiliated in the slums and faced endless discrimination and oppression. Later, more and more people chose to join the Scoia'tael and rise up to resist.

In addition to the elves, some dwarves were also drawn in.

"You are so young, where do you know so much?" Reagan immediately let go of Bernie's mouth, and Bernie immediately stuck out his tongue, panting wildly.

"Demon hunters always know a little more than ordinary people..." Roy smiled. "To a certain extent, demon hunters are also an inhuman race, so there is no need to hide it from us."

The dwarf thought for a while before replying, "Like most people in Carbon Mountain, we have never seen the Scoia'tael with our own eyes... What those people did violated the rules and regulations formulated by the Great Elder, and Carbon Mountain strictly ordered them to crack down on them." object."

"Whoever has anything to do with the Scoia'tael can only be driven away disheveled!"

"So, compared to the Scoia'tael elves, the Great Elder is more human?" Roy asked curiously.

"The Great Elder doesn't take sides, it's just because humans can communicate, and the Scoia'tael is too paranoid and wants to brainwash the dwarves in Carbon Mountain, so they are banned." The dwarf burped, "I know so much, Let's keep drinking!"

The other party didn't want to say more, and Roy didn't force it.

Twenty cups later, Reagan Dahlberg passed out on the table and snored, but he was still clear-eyed and not in the least bit drunk.

"How, three brothers, I won the competition this time, right?"

"Okay, Boss capsized in the gutter and underestimated you." Diff looked at his stomach in surprise, after drinking twenty glasses, there was no slight ups and downs. A space bag?"

Roy's heart skipped a beat, thinking that the other party had guessed it.

"Just kidding!" The dwarf shook his head suddenly again, "Tanshan people mean what they say, the boss's crossbow now belongs to you!"

"It looks like you didn't drink to your heart's content. Do you dare to continue drinking? This time, I will let you go to the toilet!"

Roy looked around at the three dwarves, their faces were eager to try,

"Why don't you dare? Everyone knows that after a demon hunter mutates, he will drink ten times more. I will let you experience it today!"

……

An hour later, there were three drunks sleeping soundly in the cave dwelling.

The only ones who could still sit were Roy and the blushing, half-drunk and stuttering dwarf opposite him, "Bernie, they all say you are stupid and can't speak clearly, but you are clearly the smartest of the four brothers." The clear one."

"Hey, you have good eyesight!" After the stammer was drunk, he stroked his tongue miraculously.

"Boss Reagan has never seen Scoia'tael, you must have." Roy asked with bright eyes.

"I haven't seen it! I haven't seen it in the past year, hiccup..." The dwarf's flushed cheeks showed a fascinated expression, "They used to wander in the depths of the forest with thieves and wild beasts, and Carbon Mountain was firmly on guard. object."

"Wandering in the depths of the forest? You mean the forest of Mahakam?" Roy's tone trembled as he thought of the discussion with the demon hunter yesterday.

But the dwarf grinned at him, showing his two front teeth, and fell asleep.

Roy glanced at the four drunks, shook his head, took out the spatial crossbow "Blood Brothers", put it in front of Reagan Dahlberg, and left the cave.

This bow is of greater significance to Reagan, and the other party has helped him a lot today, so it doesn't take people's favor.

Chapter 50 Report

On the other hand, the witcher took Kelvin to Sponghall to investigate.

The cold wind in the north was bitingly cold, and the village chief of Spongsol stood at the entrance of the village and was shivering.

When the white-haired dwarf came into view, he immediately bent his back close to 45 degrees, and wrinkled his face with a smile, like a domestic dog welcoming its owner.

"My lord Kelvin, welcome to Spencer, it is a great honor for us all in the village."

While speaking, he moved forward and led the two of them into the village.When the leader, Kelvin, passed by, he grasped the black-haired and fleshy hand of the other party with great enthusiasm, and the latter touched him casually, and quickly retracted his hand behind his back.

Then the witcher saw the dwarf wipe his clothes in disgust.

Casili sneered, his tone still full of flattery and nervousness,

"My lord, are you here to deliver good news? Has the murderer in the mountain been caught?"

"Are you questioning our capabilities?"

Kelvin raised his chin and glared at him fiercely.He was obviously only as tall as the village chief's chest, but his expression and posture were like a tall giant, full of disdain.

"Stop talking nonsense, this is Lei Suo, the master demon hunter invited by Tanshan. He has something to ask you, and answer it honestly!"

"When...of course...we will complete your task meticulously!"

Casili turned his face and saw the demon hunter walking out of the dwarf team, his eyes suddenly became strange, he recognized this freak who ruthlessly rejected his commission.

At the beginning, this man was so ruthless and dismissive of his entreaties.Now, the corners of Casili's mouth basked, and a glint of pride flashed in his eyes.

It seems to be saying, didn't you reject us at the beginning, and now you are obediently accepting this commission?

The witcher is just a dog of the dwarves...

His back straightened slightly, as if he felt that he was more noble than a witcher.

The dwarves despise the villagers, the villagers despise the witcher, and the dwarves respect the witcher in turn. It's a strange cycle.

Lei Suo didn't care, and said lightly,

"Is everyone in the village at home now?"

Casili looked at the dwarf as if asking for instructions, and the dwarf nodded at him.

"That's right... except for the few brothers in the mine, everyone stayed at home, because they were afraid of ghosts, no, they were afraid of that dirty thing, so they didn't dare to run around."

"Now go and stay with Kelvin, I'll go shopping...I'll find you if I need anything." The witcher scanned the wooden and stone houses in the village, and began to walk around the house, observing the women, children and the elderly inside the house through the windows. .

……

Roy and the witcher performed their duties, and the day passed quietly.

Late at night, in the bedroom.

The two began to count the harvest again.

"Did you find anything in Spencer?"

"I've checked everything, and the mark parasite is not in the village." There was no surprise on the demon hunter's face.

"Didn't you miss the villagers who work in the mine?"

"If Casili didn't lie, then I saw all the villagers today, and no one had contact with the deer head spirit."

"Besides, Kelvin and I destroyed the second totem today." Speaking of this, the witcher rubbed his chin with a surprised expression, "This time the deer's head spirit didn't even send any wild beasts to interfere and let me destroy the behavior. This is inappropriate Common sense, according to expectations, it should have stepped up its counterattack."

"Anyway, this is good news. If the Deer Shoujing is weakened by one point, our chances of winning will increase by one point." The young man smiled as he remembered what happened during the day, "I also discovered today..."

"Oh? Let's hear it, have you found a clue to the parasite?" The demon hunter's expression changed.

"No, that cunning guy hid very deeply, and he didn't show any signs." Roy paused, "I found something strange related to the case. I heard from a dwarf friend that the four people in Carbon Mountain Among the dead, two are from the fifth mining area. And the guard captain of the fifth mining area is Kelvin Hogg who assisted you in your investigation."

"Do you suspect that he has a ghost?" The demon hunter closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "The parasitic mark is not on him, not to mention that the two totems that destroyed the deer's head spirit are both involved, and believers will never be able to desecrate the totems. But since you mentioned it, I'll check."

Roy went on to say, "As for the second force that you mentioned yesterday, hidden in the carbon mountain and helping the deer head spirit, I have a little idea."

"Little ghost, you move quite fast." The amber eyes of the witcher flashed surprise, "Who did you get the news from?"

"Do you still remember the four drunkards we met on the first day we boarded Mahakam? After these two days of contact, I found that they are not deep-minded guys, and they are trustworthy," Roy thought of the dwarf's drunk Embarrassed, the corners of the mouth curled up, "Good wine is their weakness, and the Great Elder promised me to drink as much as I can, of course I have to make good use of this."

"I don't know the Axii seal, so I can only use this crooked trick."

"After they were drunk, they accidentally said they mentioned Scoia'tael..." His voice sank, "Leso, do you know about this organization?"

The witcher's sparse eyebrows moved, "I've spent most of my time in the south, and I've never heard of this organization. It's just been established?"

"It hasn't been established for a long time." Roy thought for a while and explained, "In short, the Scoia'tael is an organization that hates humans extremely, and most of its members are elves and mixed elves. They try their best to win over other ancient races, For example, dwarves, halflings, goblins, as long as they hate humans, they can be used by them. Currently, they mainly appear in the Valley of Flowers and other gathering places of ancient races."

"According to what you said, there are countless dwarves living in Carbon Mountain, all of whom are potential wooing targets," the demon hunter mused. "There is a high probability that the Scoia'tael will target them..."

"That's right. During his long rule, Brovar Hogg, the great elder of Carbon Mountain, has always maintained neutrality and peacefully coexisted with mankind." Roy said, "He will never allow extremist organizations like the Scoia'tael Party to be established in Mahakam." Take root and sprout, the relationship between the two is like water and fire."

The young man thought of Edsberg, the corpse in the wine barrel—Vernon Ryan. When he checked the corpse, he found the mouse tail tattoo on the heel of the other party. The leader of the Revolutionary Army was undoubtedly a Scoia'tael.

Since there are Scoia'tael hidden in the city of Edsburg under Mahakam, there are probably also near Carbon Mountain.

"The Deer Shoujing is trying to control Carbon Mountain, and it is also against the Great Elder." Roy's eyes flashed, "The enemy of the enemy is a friend... It makes sense, the Scoia'tael is secretly assisting the Deer Shoujing. Only the ancient monsters have the confidence to plot Carbon Mountain...Maybe it was the Scoia'tael who brought the deer head spirit to Mahakam."

The deer head spirit is also called the forest spirit. In a sense, it is the guardian of the forest, so it only kills humans who destroy the forest and the environment.
