The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"When the things in Rome are over, I will go elsewhere and open a new brothel after Qianhong Rose."

"You have gained a lot, do you still need to open a new brothel?"

With a value of more than 10,000 coins, Zelin's amendment spent less than 1,000 gold coins. It is said that the mercenary that Corvell hired to defeat the Kingdom of Rydania was only 20,000 gold coins. Zelin didn't think the Brotherhood would cost more money than the elite Kerviel mercenaries.

It is not just the harvest of this operation, the Brotherhood’s shops, banks and real estate in Rome can guarantee that they have sufficient gold. This is much better than the demon hunters, even when Kyle Morhan has not yet been breached, the money the demon hunters can use to repair the castle still relies on the gold coins they received on commission.

But it’s a pity that the hunters and hunters never thought that their commission was not only used to buy bread and beer, repair weapons and sharpen swords, or buy potions and herbs from female warlocks and herbalists. They Instinctively do many things. It's just that Zelin didn't come here, didn't see the Brotherhood, and he probably wouldn't think of other possibilities. After all, when everyone is doing the same thing, it is difficult for him to think of another way to go in the opposite direction.

If Yanan allowed him to see another world, a world of not only swords and swords, farmland and knights, nobles and merchants, riding and hacking, then coming to Rome made him realize that he had thought it was extremely right. How monotonous and obstructed are his thoughts and opinions.

"Do you think gold coins are only used for the organization itself?" Claudia seemed to be amused by Zelin's backward thinking. "No organization can leave allies. It is through these golden treasures that Caesar got from Spain. He came from France, as well as the support of the emperor’s special envoy Maximilian. It was these supports that made it easy for him to obtain assistance from all over Rome."

"Sounds like gold is indeed a good thing." Zelin shrugged and closed his mouth. He doesn't have so many coins to make him think about superfluous things.

The wheels pressed over the fallen leaves on the road, making a rustling cracking sound. The horseshoe stepped on the stone ground, and the crisp percussion echoed in the alleys. There are few pedestrians in the evening, but there are still men and women who do not return at night, as well as gangsters with masks holding daggers, hoping to make a fortune in a robbery. Before the gangsters started, they found them and told them how to behave and taught them some principles of life.

They think they are in ambush, but before they can hide in the swamp ground like a water ghost, it is best not to talk about ambush in front of the demon hunter.

"Why go to Florence? Your family is in Rome."

"It's enough to have my brother here." Claudia said with a sullen face. "Why should I stay in Rome? I will leave when someone can take over the Thousand Red Roses, so that he can save my gold coins by hiring you to protect me. ."

Zelin thought that when he came to Thousand Red Rose again, he met Ezio, who had left sulkingly. After associating Monteriggioni, Ezio asked his only two relatives to take refuge in a safe city. It seemed that Ezio was angry at Claudia's unauthorized decision to return to Rome, but it made sense. No one wants to lose their loved ones again, especially after they have already lost them. Rome is the city of the Pochia family. The most dangerous place is where cults are rampant. Although the Brotherhood has dealt a big blow to the Pochia family in this city, it is here for Ezio’s family. Still can't talk about safety.

Zelin understood this feeling. He didn't want to see friends who were as close as his relatives die, because he had no relatives, only friends, but Ms. Death would never show mercy.

"Ezio is very worried about you. The Poggia family will do everything possible to deal with him." Ezio's uncle, Mario, died in Monteriggioni, and the residents of Auditore were killed more. There is no doubt that as long as it has a relationship with the Brotherhood, the Pokia family will not be merciful to anyone "You are his only sister, and it is inevitable to care about you."

"But I'm no longer the little girl in Florence who would be sad and weeping when she learned that the betrothal was a lustful bastard. I am also from the Auditore family, and I can also help him instead of being a burden. He specially hired a mercenary to protect my safety!"

"Do you want a brother who doesn't care about you?" Zelin asked suddenly.

Claudia opened her mouth and suddenly didn't seem to know what to say. Indeed, she hopes that her brother can value herself, but who would want to have a relative who does not care about her own safety at all. In the end she turned her head to "Do your thing, conscientious mercenary. We still have a long way to go to Qianhong Rose."

Zelin slowed down and moved away from Claudia. He has to go to the back to make sure there is no one following the team. When the Pokya family discovered that their gold and ledger had been stolen, they might not immediately attack the suspicious team, and might choose to trace to the Brotherhood’s stronghold. Never think that your enemy is not smart. Sometimes a group of ghouls may develop simple tactical thinking.

Everyone knows that ambushing, attacking from behind, and attacking in the dark will give them an advantage. Humans have brains, and water ghosts also have their own brains. Moreover, the soldiers of the Pokiah family are not water ghosts. They are much smarter than water ghosts.

The journey was safe and sound, until the time when it was about to approach Qianhong Rose.

Chapter 189 Humanistic Care

There is no light in the bright red roses. He opened the door cautiously. Pushing open a bit of the door, the nascent morning light reflected in the empty hall through the reflection of the sword. The blade is placed flat, so that it can reflect the light from the outside, and at the same time, the long sword can be horizontally placed in front of the chest, ready to block the dark arrow from the shadow.

"You worry too much, Mr. mercenary conscientious."

"Be careful, there is always nothing wrong."

The demon hunter wandered into the hall, his steps were very light, and he stepped on the wooden floor in the hall without making any sound. This is the training that any demon hunter must receive. When they step into the monster’s lair, the best way to avoid turning from a hunter into a prey is to hide their whereabouts. At least when the monster finds you, you are ready.

"Didn't you leave anyone here when you left Qianhong Rose?"

"This matter is very important. We must ensure success." Claudia shrugged, ignoring Zelin's vigilance, waved her hand, and motioned to the girls to unload the cargo boxes on the carriage as soon as possible and move them into the basement secret room of the brothel. "Do you think we can stop the soldiers of the Pokia family by leaving two girls here?"

"Where did Mrs. Maria go?"

"My brother arranged for my mother to go to a safe place yesterday. She is not here now."

The ground was cleaned up, although the girls came in with boxes, and soon many light black footprints were stamped on the wooden floor. Everything is so normal. But I don't know why, there is always a bad premonition in my heart. Maybe look around for any interesting discoveries.

"Hey, hurry up, put everything behind, and drive the carriage to the back, so that no one else can see." Claudia directed the girls "Mary, hurry up and clean up here, and get ready for today's Business, don’t let anyone see the problem."

Most of these girls were newly recruited after Ezio came to Rome. Almost everyone has fallen into the industry of having to be prostitutes because of the Pokia family. They are well-behaved and smart, and Claudia's orders can be executed perfectly after only one time. After all, what they really want to do is spies, not prostitutes.

"Hurry up, light the candles, and come and clean up here. Oh, god, be careful not to hurt yourself." Claudia said to a girl who almost missed the box and dropped the box on the floor, "Angela, Come and help."

Everything is so orderly. But Zelin always feels something is wrong? His instincts rarely go wrong, and it cannot be ruled out because he has been dealing with things that he is not good at recently, whether it’s eavesdropping or tracking, which makes him a little overly nervous, but just like that sentence, be careful. There is nothing wrong.

He stood at the door, and the traces left by the wooden wheels on the ground would be erased by the breeze as soon as they came over. In fact, it is impossible for ordinary people with professional tracking training to notice the traces on the ground nowadays, besides, Qianhong Rose The location is very remote. For those who know it, the remoteness can indeed serve as a good disguise. The guests who visit here are not only wealthy townspeople and city councillors, but there are actually many priests who should have been pursuing religious training.

At least the day before yesterday, when Zelin passed by here early in the morning, Thousand Red Roses were filled with all kinds of guests, like a casino, day and night.

Few soldiers will patrol this area, because of the proximity to the shanty towns and the notoriety of the Assassins among the soldiers of the Pokia family. The soldiers assigned to perform patrols here pretend to watch everything. Without seeing him, he hurriedly passed through here, but outside the shanty town. Zelin had seen many soldiers of the Pokia family leaning near the corner, waiting for the patrol time to end and returning to report.

I don't know how Caesar would feel when seeing his heavily hired soldiers hiding in the assassins, let alone the corners of the assassins, just waiting for him to release a lot of gold coins into their hands.

Suddenly, Zelin realized what was wrong.

This is a shanty town. People can be seen on the streets during the day or night, whether they are pedestrians, nearby residents, beggars, or robbers. But from the time Claudia's girls returned with the money box until they began to hide the money and clean up the traces, they did not encounter anyone along the way, except for one or two robbers who tried to rob. Yes, they felt that they were acting very smoothly because no one noticed them, and no one noticed that they were hiding well. In fact, the team did not have any hidden measures at all. No one saw it just because they were really nearby. There is no one.

"Claudia, I suggest you better prepare your girls with weapons, or leave here as soon as possible."

"Why?" Claudia put on an elegant but unfashionable dress. "Here will continue to operate here. You can put up a sign in the evening, saying that it will be closed tonight, but during the day we can't help Poggia. Let all the girls leave when the family pays attention."

"I think the Pokia family is likely to attack here."

"Do you have any evidence?" Claudia chuckled slightly, put her hands behind her back and began to loosen her curled hair, the smile on her face seemed to be just listening to a joke.

"No, but my instinct tells me that they will do it."

"Okay, okay, even elder brother won't be like you, doubting everywhere." Claudia turned around, faced the glass mirror in the hall, and began to care for her light brown hair. "Thank you for your help." , A good man, but I don’t get a reward here. If I want your gold, I go to my brother. He is a busy man."

"Your brother is just..." Zelin wanted to say something. He knows very well why Claudia is like this. A young girl who wants to do her best for her busy brother when the family encounters a disaster will definitely be dissatisfied with Ezio’s overprotection. This is normal. , He accepted the entrustment of those parents and brothers more than once to go to the wild to find their children who thought they had grown up and went out for adventure.

These children often go to forests or dangerous places by the river to prove that they are already adults. They think that their parents’ warnings, or anyone’s warnings, are deceiving them, and their parents’ dissuasion always holds a sense of being caught. Feeling underestimated. A professor of philosophy in Osenfurt defined this behavior as rebellion. The price of rebellion is that most of the time, the demon hunters will find the clothes and corpses of these children in the dens of monsters or the stomachs of water ghosts.

Many people always know that they have done something wrong after they have made a mistake, but sometimes, they have no chance to correct it a second time.

It's a pity that before Zelin could say the next thing, the crowd of footsteps interrupted him, and three groups of people appeared on the empty street outside at the same time.

"Encircle here! Don't let anyone escape!"

Chapter One Hundred and Ninety The Last Piece

Ezio was restless all night.

The sky was very cold early in the morning. He took off his hood and slipped out of the sleeping soldiers outside the banker's house. He originally planned to stay here, looking for more information about the Pokia family, which could help them defeat powerful enemies, but even so, he couldn't let go of his sister, Claudia, she could do so. A dangerous task? It is not easy to transfer all of the banker's money, let alone quietly transferred to the bank of the Brotherhood.

Not long after the banker died, the lights of the huge mansion gradually went out and no one was seen. The previous magnificent glory is still gone, it is quite gloomy and decadent. The original bustling scene is like yellow flowers yesterday. When the guests learned that the banker was assassinated, they left one after another. Of course, no one cares who assassinated him. It's an assassin. As for capturing an assassin, how could they waste their precious time on a dead person? The dead person would not provide gold for their support.

The nearby guards wouldn't even care about strangers like Ezio coming in and out, because he wasn't the only stranger who came here.

Ezio looked down at them as he walked past the Pokia family soldiers who were sleeping in the corner. Of course, among these guards, there are also people who joined the Pokia family for their livelihoods. Most of them are like soldiers lying on the ground and dozing off at the moment. They can only do the simplest and most hard work, just for ten duck per month. Especially, even when the characters in the Pokiah family, such as the banker who died not long ago, want to do something and hold a banquet, they have to patrol for a day and then come to the mansion to stand guard at night. Of course, the extra Naturally, there is no reward. This banquet even allowed Ezio to recruit three soldiers from the Pokia family to choose to serve the Brotherhood.

But there are still very few such people, and most of them can only do work like handyman, deliver letters, move goods, stand guard late at night, and patrol remote and dangerous places. Few people can persist.

Claudia, the assassin couldn’t help but feel a panic when he thought of returning to the Auditore Mansion-no matter whether it was in ruins or not--the sister who returned to their original home, but suddenly came to Rome again. Tired. If Claudia listened to her brother obediently, Ezio would not have to worry all day about hearing the news about Thousand Red Roses brought by the messenger. He was worried that he would hear bad news, anything about Claudia and him. Bad news for his mother, Mrs. Maria. In Florence, he lost his father and brother, in Monteriggioni, he lost his uncle, and now, in Rome, he...
