Lord Hunter needs a commission

"Hunter." Benedetto stared at the picture that appeared in the crystal ball, the handsome young man in a gray-black windbreaker, with a cane and a revolver.

His eyes fell on the young man's chest. Although the picture was blurry, he could vaguely see a silver griffin pendant hanging on the young man's chest. "School? Branch of Griffin?"

"Strange, when did a hunter from the antique school come to this city?" Benitedo felt a little puzzled in his heart, "And, why didn't your lord..."

Shaking his head, Benitedo didn't think much about it.

That adult has a lot of things on weekdays, so it's not surprising that he didn't have time to notify him, or he was busy when he was notified and didn't receive it.

Even though it's never happened before.

Looking at the young man on the screen in the crystal ball, Benitedo showed a sneer on his face. "Have mastered the knowledge of rough and superficial fur, and abuse these skills casually... Hunters of the Griffin School? Huh, a group of old things that should have been eliminated long ago, old antiques that have no need for existence."

slap~

Benitet snapped his fingers one more time.

roar~

Hoarse growls answered his call, and dozens of ghouls crawled out from the corners of the warehouse, outside the windows of the warehouse, and from the gate of the warehouse, waiting for Benitedo's order.

"Kill the intruder," he said casually. "Don't let him interrupt my research work."

The ghoul growled and left the warehouse with its head down, sinking into the darkness outside.

"You guys go with me too." Benitedo turned around and looked at the three strange figures that appeared behind him. "It's a greeting to your fellow juniors."

Chapter 16 Draw the Sword

The factory is huge, and Charlotte can imagine what it must have been like when this suburban factory opened a few years ago.Presumably at that time, there were hundreds of thousands of workers wearing dirty clothes, shuttling among the surrounding steel equipment, allowing their time and lives to be exploited by the factory in order to feed their families and their own stomachs.

But in any case, this is their livelihood, and it is the wages they get here that allow them to support their whole family.However, the shadow entrenched here at some point shattered all of this. Judging from what Charlotte has seen and heard about Novigrad, without a stable income, life must be very difficult.

It's just that this has nothing to do with him. It's not that he is cold-blooded and ruthless, or that he ignores others, but that he is completely incapable of changing everything.Charlotte is very clear about her position. She is just a scavenger, neither a politician nor a businessman, and cannot save a city by herself.

The lantern in his hand radiates light, illuminating the way forward.

In this way, Charlotte moved forward step by step, searching every place in the factory.It takes a while, and the light of the lantern in your hand is likely to attract enemies hidden in the dark.

But it doesn't matter, if these enemies think that the surprise attack can have an effect on themselves, then come as much as possible.

But it was very quiet along the way, and there was something wrong with being quiet.

Charlotte didn't know what was hidden here, but he knew very well that if it wasn't a cemetery, it would be impossible for ghouls to appear inexplicably.A factory also wouldn't be built on a ghoul-infested land, so there's a good chance those ghouls came later.

Judging by the knowledge learned, it is very likely that there is a mage who studies necromancy, or simply a necromancer.

No matter who it is, Charlotte doesn't think that the fighting movement she made before and the fact that she killed a dozen ghouls can hide a spellcaster.

Having said that, it is clear that the caster is well hidden.

At least no trace has been revealed so far, or Charlotte hasn't been able to find any clues yet.

After walking slowly for a while, Charlotte stopped abruptly and frowned.He can feel now that just in front of him, there are many negative emotions coming from a certain corner, those despair, fear, anger, cursing that come with the air flow... intertwined to form a source of negative energy, but But it was blocked by something, and only a little bit could be revealed.

Moreover, the silver griffin pendant hanging around his neck began to vibrate crazily at this moment.

At this moment, there was a naked killing intent in the air again, it was undisguised and without any emotional color, pure bloodthirsty and longing.In the darkness in front of Charlotte, blood-red eyes with shimmering light emerged one by one in the darkness.

Ghouls, there are several times more ghouls than before.

These driven scavenging monsters blocked Charlotte's way, and it seemed that they didn't want to talk to him, let alone say that this road was driven by me.

What they want is to tear Charlotte's body apart, and then eat his flesh and bones.

If they can...

roar~

Roaring, the ghoul attacked Charlotte.

Some of these monsters with sharp claws can even use this to climb rocks on the wall, so they crawled from the ground, from the wall, from the ceiling, and swarmed towards Charlotte.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

Charlotte clamped the cane with the arm holding the lantern, pulled out the blue rose from the holster with the other hand, raised the muzzle of the gun and pulled the trigger of the revolver continuously, pouring out the six bullets in the revolver in one breath .

The six ghouls raised their heads and fell down immediately.

Six bullets accurately pierced their foreheads, smashing their skulls and the brains that were left in them.While the modified revolver has enough recoil, it is also powerful enough, and Charlotte ignores the recoil.

However, a mere six is ​​nothing to the surging ghouls.

There were ten times as many of them, but Charlotte emptied all the bullets in the wheel.

The fastest running ghoul has come to Charlotte and jumped up, stretched out two sharp claws, and rushed towards Charlotte.

"Quen."

A golden light curtain appeared beside Charlotte, and the flying ghoul hit the light curtain, and was bounced out by the reaction force.And the other ghouls had formed a circle around Charlotte at this moment.

It seems that they have responded. These ghouls did not rush forward and were annihilated by Charlotte using the Alder seal like their previous companions.

Instead, they surrounded him heavily, two or three ghouls attacked and hit the light curtain, and the others hid a distance, ready to take over at any time.

And every ghoul just retreated with one blow, relying on the advantage of numbers to start wearing out the light curtain created by the Quen seal.

In just a short while, the light curtain that shrouded Charlotte was attacked one after another, cracking visible to the naked eye and becoming crumbling.

But the strange thing is that Charlotte didn't fight back immediately, but hung the lantern in her hand on the belt by herself.Then he leisurely took out the bullets and reloaded Zhanlan Rose, completely ignoring the almost completely broken defense.

"I'm not a good griffin." After filling the bullets of the revolver, Charlotte didn't intend to shoot. Instead, she put the only hot weapon in her hand back into the holster on her waist.

Then he held the cane with his right hand.

The light curtain was finally completely shattered under the constant attacks of the ghouls. Seeing this, all the ghouls immediately rushed towards Charlotte.

"Because I'm more used to slashing when I draw my sword."

A flash of cold light flashed, and the three ghouls who rushed forward were thrown out by a whip blade. The sharp blade directly tore their bodies, and the rancid liquid scattered out.

Using the cane turned into a whip blade, the three ghouls were thrown into the air, and Charlotte turned sideways immediately, so that the attack of a ghoul that rushed behind and launched an attack fell through.At the same time, he stretched out his hand and snapped the handle of the cane that turned into a bladed whip. With a bang, the blade of the whip tightened suddenly, and the mechanism in the cane turned the cane into a long sawtooth sword.

Charlotte held the deformed sawtooth long sword and raised the corner of her mouth, then turned around and swung the sword.

In the flickering flame of the lantern, the long sword in Charlotte's hand shot out a cold light and swung it out.

The fierce sword light split the ghouls rushing forward, and at a rapid speed, all the ghouls that approached Charlotte within a radius of nine feet were torn to pieces under the cold sword light.

This is 【Cold Heart-Jian Rui】.

After crushing the ghouls that attacked her, Charlotte strode forward towards the group of ghouls. The long sword in her hand burst into countless cold lights at this moment, and the extremely sharp sword energy followed the blade. Waving, swaying towards the front.

The extremely ferocious sword energy engulfed the ghouls like a gust of wind, tearing their bodies apart, leaving only stumps and broken arms everywhere they passed.

This is【Xinxiong-Jianmeng】

Chapter 17

Hunter was actually an unpopular profession a long time ago, and it was not called a hunter.The reason why it is called a hunter now is that the federal government has intervened to make this profession semi-official and semi-civilian, and it also simplified this profession as a hunter.

Traditional hunters, or witchers, originated from the magical transformation rituals of mages and warlocks.The magic potion prepared through alchemy stimulates the mutation of the human body, thus creating a warrior whose strength, physique and agility exceed normal human beings in all aspects.

Later, after discovering that these transformed warriors seem to have weak magical energy, mages and warlocks began to create simple magic skills and matching alchemy potions for this profession.

Later, this profession gradually separated into different schools of specialization.

As far as Charlotte knew, probably before the establishment of the Federation, the schools of witchers were mainly divided into five schools: poisonous snakes, griffins, cats, bears, and wolves.Of course, this doesn't mean that there are no other schools, it's just that there are more demon hunters in the above five schools.

Charlotte is of the Griffin School, and Vesemir, who teaches him, is of the Wolf School.The characteristic of these two schools is that the former is better at using the skill called magic seal, while the latter knows everything but is not specialized.

However, due to various irresistible reasons, in fact, what Charlotte is best at is not magic seal, but swordsmanship in popular terms.

Among the school hunters, it is the cat who specializes in swordsmanship.

In other words, Charlotte is a Cat Griffon who is good at swordsmanship and taught by an old wolf of the Wolf School... This relationship is really messed up.

By the way, the reason why Charlotte received the griffin pendant was nothing else, but because Vesemir only had the old griffin pendant in his hand except the wolf head pendant.As for the pendants of the cat school, it is a pity that the cat school disappeared a long time ago with the advent of gunpowder weapons.

Whether it is using a seal, a firearm, or a long sword right now, some ghouls are not a threat to Charlotte.

After all, among the many undead monsters, ghouls can only be said to be scum that is more than enough.At least, they are much more sensitive than slow-moving zombies, and a little more resistant to fragile skeletons.

But compared to those high-level undead monsters that can be called mobile plagues and disasters, they are really too much garbage.

In addition, the swordsmanship in Charlotte's hands is not the rough style of the cat school, which uses Whirlwind when there is a disagreement.

The dazzling sword light, the fragmented body under the sword's edge, and Charlotte's quick movement and swing of the sword made his swordsmanship not only sharp and deadly, but also "glamorous".

The Art of Killing.

Rather than saying that this is swordsmanship, it is better to say that it is like the sword slash of the sword master profession.

But compared to the kind of sword master who can only use a limited number of sword qi in a day, and can only use the sword qi again after a day's rest, Xia Luo's long sword is whistling vertically and horizontally, and the whole body is three feet away. The ghouls that approached were cut into pieces one after another by the sword light interspersed within the range.

With the blade facing forward, the light of the sword flickered, and the sword energy was like rushing waves, one after another, within a few breaths, the formation of ghouls surrounding Charlotte was pierced by Charlotte's sword.

In this regard, Charlotte felt it should be taken for granted.

Compared with the crude skills of various occupations developed on the basis of cold weapons in the old days, the name he used was "psychic power swordsmanship (Heart Sword God Jue)" which came from a certain alien plane called Question Tian - the demigod of Nangong.

How can the swordsmanship taught by a demigod himself be comparable to the skills inherited by ordinary poor ghost warriors?Even the untold secret of the cat school, Whirlwind Slash, cannot be compared.

Because this is no longer pure swordsmanship.

This is a skill that includes supermagic skills such as psychic powers and plastic power fields. It also contains philosophical concepts of various outlooks on life and values. Even after learning this skill, Charlotte has naturally stabilized various types of spells. ability.

For example: feather fall technique, pure technique, quick balance, firm self-confidence, bear's tenacity, bull's strength, cat's elegance, eagle's majesty, owl's wisdom... It is not so much a kind of swordsmanship as it is a kind of swordsmanship. Special legendary spells are right.

But come to think of it, the things that a demigod can see are basically only legendary things.And using this legendary swordsmanship taught by the demigod to strangle these ghouls, Charlotte felt that he valued these undead monsters too much.

But no matter whether you look at it or not, no matter how you modify the sword, it can't change that it is a weapon, and swordsmanship is a more efficient way to use this weapon to kill.

In just a dozen or so breaths, these ghouls, which were dozens of times the number of Charlotte, were killed by his single sword.

Those foul-smelling blood, together with the severed limbs, scattered in every corner of the surrounding area.

But this devastating slaughter did not let Charlotte relax.

After all, ghouls can only bully ordinary people. Police officers wearing guns can easily deal with these scavengers as long as they can hold back their fear and not encounter them in narrow places.

Let alone hunters.

Charlotte would not think that while Novigrad's peers were inferior in integrity and character, even their strength was a water-injected thing.

Among other things, the ghouls who are being killed by his own sword, even the weak hunters, just need to find the right way, and killing these guys is nothing more than a few Kirov cocktails.

Charlotte, who had secretly raised her guard, did not hesitate in the movement of her hands, and swung down firmly towards the remaining ghouls.

When he pierced the last ghoul that was still moving with a sword through its head, and the sword light flickered and separated the corpse, the expected surprise attack came.

The number of ghouls is not small, and they are besieging. After defeating this kind of crisis, normal people will inevitably relax. Even if there is no relaxation, a fierce battle will end more or less. Seldom produces fatigue, and a short-term trance of consciousness and spirit.

Thus, the enemy who had been hiding all this time made a move at this moment.

In the shadow illuminated by the light of the lantern hanging on Charlotte's waist, a dissonance quietly emerged.

A figure shrouded in a black mist-like cloak directly floated out of the upper body from the shadow, holding a similarly dark scimitar, and rushed towards Charlotte whose back was facing him.

The black scimitar in his hand slashed out suddenly, but the piercing blade didn't make any sound, and even the airflow didn't fluctuate in the slightest.

Seeing that the scimitar was about to fall at the back of Charlotte, separating his neck and head.

Charlotte seemed to have premeditated it, the long sword in his hand suddenly turned, and the whole person turned around immediately, letting the machete pass in front of his eyes, taking away a few strands of silver hair.

This kind of critical situation didn't make any fluctuations in Charlotte's eyes.

And the assailant saw what he didn't expect from those pale golden pupils.

Got you, idiot.

The sneak attack failed, and the attacker immediately rushed towards the shadow of Charlotte, but at the same time, a fierce sword light rushed to engulf his figure.

Chapter 18 Siege

Just when Charlotte thought the attacker in the black cloak would be cut off by his blade like a ghoul, an accident appeared.Just as the sword light approached fiercely in front of him, a force field shield shining with purple-black light suddenly appeared in front of the attacker.

When the extremely fierce sword light and sword energy hit the shield, it seemed to fall into the water, splashing a series of ripples on the force field shield.
