The Divine Hunter Chapter 41: Special tasks

After Kelvin accepted the order, he led the two of them out of the splendid palace and towards the guest room on the other floor.

"Leso, are you going to leave me behind and become a hands-off shopkeeper again this time?" Roy tried to persuade the demon hunter, "Don't you think fighting that kind of monster is an extremely valuable experience? Even if I don't have the ability to participate Go in, hide nearby and observe, and you will gain insights. Trust me, I will never hold you back."

"We have already rejected a commission in Sponsor before, but we couldn't escape after all... Don't you think this is the guidance of fate?" Seeing that the other party was indifferent, he asked about fate. The witcher seemed to I quite like this, "Destiny, let us meet this challenge together."

"Come on, 'Destiny' doesn't have time to pay attention to a little kid from the country." The demon hunter stared closely at the white-haired dwarf leading the way and said without looking back, "You have to go deep into the forest to hunt that thing. The hinterland. The forest is its home, and the animals and plants are the eyes and ears. Once you step into it, you can't hide it in any corner. Hiding is unrealistic."

"So don't be delusional," the demon hunter deliberately raised his voice, "Just stay in Carbon Mountain and treat it as a tourist. It's good to wander around nearby. Not everyone has the opportunity to visit this place. The fortress of miracles."

"You have been working **** practicing crossbow shooting skills, and the Carbon Mountain dwarf archers are experts in this area. If you have the opportunity, you can ask them for advice. If you are bored, just take a look at the notes I left for you."

Seeing the demon hunter's resolute attitude, Roy stopped forcing it.

However, the other party was right about one thing. He was happy to communicate with the dwarf archer. After all, I just “bought” a brand new crossbow, so it’s inevitable that my hands will be itchy.

……

The two followed Kelvin all the way up the spiral escalator at the end of the furnace hall to the second floor.

Kelvin seemed to be stimulated by something. Ever since he was taught a lesson by Elder Brovar, he had behaved like a diligent servant. He led the two of them into the upper floor of the palace where Brovar Hogg was. They were also taught by Brovar Hogg. The interior of a hollow mountain was opened up.

Pushing open the second-floor door, under the light of torches wrapped in oilcloth, showrooms and warehouses were neatly lined up on both sides. Looking up, a row of iron doors with rectangular observation holes appeared at the end of the corridor ahead.

And Roy suddenly felt the whistling wind accompanied by a blast of freezing cold air coming out of the observation hole of the iron door, which made him tremble all over. "Is there a window inside the mountain wall for ventilation?"

When he walked to the iron gate, he couldn't help but look around, and then he was shocked.

"This... dwarf in the mountains is so good at playing?"

The room behind the iron door was only the size of a normal bedroom and was empty. There was no wall at the back of the bedroom and it was completely open. The howling cold wind blew in along with the snowflakes, freezing the ceiling, side walls and floor of the room. A layer of crystal clear ice.

Is this the so-called semi-open snow room?

Guests in the room only need to walk a few steps forward in the room to see the majestic scenery of Carbon Mountain up close and feel the original charm of the ice and snow. Through the empty walls, you can admire the pine trees covered in silver in the vast snow field and the shaky sunset on the horizon.

Of course, the premise is that the guest is strong enough not to freeze to death. After all, there are no blankets or braziers in the room. Only a few races like the dwarves, who have developed body hair and rough skin and thick flesh and are frost-resistant, can enjoy this kind of treatment.

And if you continue a few steps forward, you can say goodbye to this world.

"How about it, kid? If you make a mistake in Mahakam, you can go in and experience it for a week. Do you need me to help you arrange it?"

Kelvin came to him at some point and said something conspiratorially.

Roy suddenly turned around, narrowed his eyes and looked down at the dwarf's head resting on his chest,

"Sir Kelvin, the kid is referring to me?"

The dwarf's expression changed, but he remembered the great elder's instructions and groaned.

When the three of them turned a few corners in the corridor and came to the guest room deep in the corridor, the dwarf threw down two keys and said, "There will be servants delivering meals in the evening. Turn off the lights after ten o'clock and stay in the room honestly." If you wander around casually and stray into the forbidden area, the Great Elder will not be able to save you. In addition, Master Lei Suo, I will call you tomorrow morning!"

"Bang!" With a sound, the door slammed shut.

Roy stretched. Too many things happened today. His eyes could hardly see clearly, and his brain needed to relax.

The witcher made a quiet gesture towards him, tiptoed to the observation hole, paid attention to the movement outside the door, made sure there was no one nearby, and crossed his fingers.

"You know why I didn't let you get involved?"

"You hate me for holding you back."

"Of course, this is the main reason."

"Master Demon Hunter, just say it if you have something to say." Roy took a deep breath, "I noticed that you deliberately made your voice louder on the way to mislead Kelvin Hogg?"

"Very good! The cold air of Carbon Mountain did not freeze your brain. There is indeed a mission for you to stay."

"Oh?" Roy straightened his posture immediately, "I know that although it is the last word in this world to have big fists, you still have to use your brain occasionally."

The witcher leaned into his ear and whispered, "While I was in the forest investigating, you were responsible for searching the dwarves in Carbon Mountain and finding a guy with a special mark on his body for me."

As he spoke, he drew a few times with his fingers on the ground, outlining a strange symbol with overlapping spider webs and antlers.

"Remember this mark. If any dwarf has a mark of this shape on his arm, thigh, or anywhere else on his body, tell me immediately. Don't let him find out..."

Roy rubbed his chin and frowned, "It's winter, everyone is wrapped up like a bear. How should I check their bodies? If the mark is on a bearded butt, I can't just put it on Did he take off his pants?"

"Does this require you to think of another way?" The witcher's generous palm patted his shoulder heavily, "Kid~IndoMTL.com~ You have done a good job at Kadel's House, continue to use your advantages. ."

Roy sat down on the bed, rolled his eyes, and quickly came up with an idea.

"Try not to let others see the clues." The demon hunter warned with a serious face, "But if you can find a few trustworthy dwarves who have confirmed that they are not parasitized by the mark, it would be a good idea to help."

"I have another question," Roy asked hesitantly, "What if the target is a woman?"

"The miners and hunting team members who are most likely to enter the mountain forest and come into contact with the deer-headed spirit are all men. They are your primary targets." The demon hunter paused, "If you can't find them... you are young, so They look younger than dwarf children. Even if something happens, women won’t care about anything."

The image of a bearded and hairy woman appeared in Roy's mind, and he shook his head with a look of disgust on his face, praying that the parasite was not a woman.

"What does that mark mean? There is no such content in the notes."

The witcher licked his chapped lips, "You have to understand that the more powerful the monster, the wider the territory it occupies. 'Its' hunting ground extends from Sponsor at the foot of the mountain to the deep valley on the mountainside near Carbon Mountain. , the years it has gone through, the power it has mastered must be rare in my life."

"I have to prepare for the worst - it has awakened a secret technique that is closely related to the mark. If the mark parasite cannot be found, even if I kill the murderer, it will be able to drain the parasite's life force immediately. Resurrection!"

"The mark parasite has already surrendered to it, and is no more than half a slave, so it cannot be noticed by him."

Roy shuddered when he heard this, and a tall figure with antlers, a white skull, covered in moss, and limbs twisted like branches suddenly appeared in his mind.

"It is indeed a deer-headed spirit!"
