The Divine Hunter Chapter 14: Knight of the White Rose

"Kid, you are bound to be verbally attacked later," the demon hunter suddenly reminded, "No matter what, you should try to keep a low profile and calm down, after all, this is other people's territory."

"I seem to be so impulsive, without any discernment?" Roy said dissatisfied, "Everyone knows the principle of 'as the Romans do as the Romans do'."

"Just understand," the demon hunter nodded, proposing a unique metaphor. "If you really can't stand it, just treat them as mad dogs. Any modesty, self-deprecation and flattery on your part are nothing but meat and bones. Feed them once when they bark... When they are full, they will naturally wag their tails to show their goodwill... This is especially effective for knights who think highly of themselves."

"Um..." The young man glanced at the other person's dull and rigid face in surprise. He didn't expect that the demon hunter would come up with such a strange theory.

The two continued to wait in the open space near the city gate. Not long after, two unfamiliar figures, one tall and one short, came over. Leisuo took Roy and bowed to them casually while looking at the people in front of him. Two knights.

The knight on the left is wearing white steel armor, a scarlet cape, and a white rose emblem on his left shoulder. The armor on his body "knocks" as he walks.

On his young face, an old scar as thick as an index finger ran diagonally from his forehead across the bridge of his nose. His originally handsome face was completely destroyed, and it became extremely ferocious and violent. He walked over, locking Lei Suo with his eyes like daggers, as if he were facing an sworn enemy.

Standing beside him was a short, stocky, bearded dwarf. He crossed his arms, wore a fox fur-trimmed coat and an iron chain mail, and was looking at the two people with a serious face.

"Damn it," Roy cursed in a low voice, "What are you afraid of?"

He could guess that the man with the scar on his face was the rogue knight who was defeated by Geralt in the past. With his current menacing appearance, it was obvious that he had come with bad intentions.

"Witcher, tell me the names of you and your companions!" the scar-faced knight ordered in a gritted tone,

"Two knights, we are just nobody. To say such a mere name is just to offend the noble knight's ears, so don't mention it."

The demon hunter bent down slightly, his attitude was very low, but his peripheral vision was looking around covertly, looking for advantageous terrain.

The spearmen near the city gate were also watching their movements closely.

The scar-faced knight's face darkened upon hearing this, and he took another step closer to the two of them, standing less than ten feet away. He raised his face and said loudly like a proud swan,

"I am Arthur Thales, the eldest son of the Thales family, a knight of the Fourth Legion of the Knights of the White Rose under the command of Prince Elland Seaward."

"Witchers who have come from afar, I have now announced my home to you. Please tell me your name and origin equally, otherwise you will insult the honor of the knight!"

Roy's eyebrows jumped. Sure enough, this guy was still so arrogant. The bald man had no choice but to reply, "I am Leisuo, the demon hunter of the Viper School, and this is my apprentice Roy. ."

"Where is your badge, how can you prove your school? What reason do you have to enter the great Elland?!"

Tales asked with a sullen face and aggressively. At the same time, he held the scabbard with one hand and the hilt of the sword with the other. It seemed that if he was not satisfied with the answer, he would immediately draw the sword. The dwarf on the side twitched stiffly when he saw his companion's appearance, and took a deep breath with disgust on his face.

"You should have guessed by looking at our clothes. Unfortunately, we participated in several fierce battles outside the city. Basically all the weapons, equipment and supplies were scrapped or lost, and we had to enter Elland to replenish them. Supplies, I even lost one leg. By the way, this is the badge you want."

"Please, Sir Knight Thales, please be noble and let us two humble and pitiful little people pass through Elland."

"Very good!" The other party took a look at the snake sect's pendant, nodded, and looked around the demon hunter to confirm that he was not carrying any weapons. One of his legs looked inconvenient, and his eyes suddenly glowed with eagerness to try. .

"Letho, the demon hunter of the Viper School, I, Arthur Thales, a knight of the Knights of the White Rose, formally challenge you to a duel!"

"Wow--" The sharp sword blade like a clear spring came out of the sheath. The knight held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and the tip of the sword was pointed directly at the demon hunter.

The white light reflected by the sword blade fell on the demon hunter's face, causing him to narrow his eyes slightly.

"But, Lord Thales, you are a decent man of noble birth. Don't you think that dueling with me is flattering me? I am not even a knight, my background is not worth mentioning, and I think I am not worthy."

"Yes!" Roy added in response to the witcher's words, mocking himself, "We don't deserve the honor and praise in the knight's competition."

"The Knights have their own creed!" Thales interrupted the two of them, "If you challenge a knight of the Knights of the White Rose, he naturally has the right to accept or refuse, depending on his wishes. . But I, Thales, a noble knight, regard you as an equal - only temporarily of course - and challenge you, so you cannot refuse, otherwise it will only mean that you are a worthless waste."

"Um..." Roy was stunned by these words. He was really an arrogant lunatic. "Knight Thales, your logic is really rigorous. I think you must have studied philosophy in depth." 'Let's go!"

This is where the knight's confidence comes from. The highest attribute in the observation is strength, which is only 7 points.

If it weren't for the swordsmanship competition, I might be able to deal with this arrogant guy, provided that he took off this iron bucket-like armor.

Taylors didn't seem to understand Roy's words, and Reso asked, "What if I refuse the challenge and prove to be worthless?"

"Then, please leave Elland! This noble city does not welcome any waste or maggots."

"Tsk tsk..." The dwarf on the side couldn't help but sneered, and his hoarse voice came out, "Stop deliberately looking for trouble, you are a knight, you must remember the five virtues of knights, where is your sense of honor? Already?"

"You are the one who is causing trouble for me, Kramer!" Thales blushed and said angrily, "This is a personal grudge. I must defeat the demon hunter and avenge my shame! Come with me and I will bear it." , you still dare to interfere, do you want me to give you some color?"

"I just don't let guys like you do anything wrong!" The dwarf responded unceremoniously.

The knight gritted his teeth and said, "I'm warning you, now you'd better go back and be your guard commander, otherwise don't blame me for suing you!"

Kramer, Dennis Kramer, Roy's eyes lit up when he heard this name. He was a dwarf with a full sense of justice and adhered to the principle of fairness. He will also join the Mahakam Volunteer Army in the future during the Second Nilfgaardian War to fight against the Nilfgaardian invasion. It can be said that he has a very close relationship with Carbon Mountain.

So...

"Dennis Kramer?" Roy suddenly took a step forward, pretending to be surprised and interrupting the confrontation between the two.

"Do you know me?" The dwarf stared at the young man with doubts on his face.

"When I was in Carbon Mountain, I heard Mr. Reagan tell you about your glorious deeds..."

"Reagan? Reagan Dahlberg?" The dwarf touched his big nose and pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, "I remember, that little guy was a slug more than thirty years ago. How is he now? Is there any Any progress?"

"He has become the marksman of Carbon Mountain and the champion of several shooting competitions!"

"He can make more noise than his brother." After saying that, the dwarf looked at Roy and his eyes softened slightly, "Boy, what is your relationship with that kid?"

"Not long ago, I learned shooting from Boss Reagan for a period of time," Roy lowered his head and said with embarrassment, "Unfortunately, I am too stupid to even learn his true essence."

The dwarf became interested when he saw the visitor from his hometown. He put aside the furious Knight Thales and chatted with Roy about the past of Carbon Mountain for a while. The young man talked to him based on the memory in his mind, and the more he became more and more excited. The more intimate he got, the more he "accidentally" mentioned that he and the demon hunter had gotten rid of the deer-headed spirit and most of the evil spirits in the mines for Tanshan.

"Now it seems that you can't be considered an outsider!" Kramer patted his shoulder ~IndoMTL.com~ turned around and said with bright eyes,

"This is no longer your private matter. Roy is my junior, and his teacher Leisuo is my friend. I will not allow you to avenge yourself!"

Tales glared at the dwarf angrily, his eyes about to burst into flames, "Dennis Kramer, are you sure you want to go against me!"

"Come on!" the dwarf said disdainfully, "Your mentor, Earl Falwick, is no longer in Elland. Do you think you can still rely on your strength?! We dwarves are never afraid of any difficult challenges for our friends. If you want If you want to oppose me, then go ahead! Do you dare to speak in front of His Majesty Siward? Let’s see who is right!"

Thick blood vessels and veins appeared on his forehead, and Thales looked at the three of them one by one with a stern expression.

"Just wait! It's best to stay here quietly for me in the city and don't let me take any chances!"

"I also warn you not to annoy them illegally in private, otherwise..."

……

After Thales left angrily, the dwarf said, "Don't worry too much, you two. This guy has done all kinds of outrageous things in recent years and ruined his reputation. If you encounter any trouble again in the city, You can come to the prince's palace and tell the guards my name, and I will come to pick you up."

"Thank you for your generous help!" Roy saluted him heartily.

"We dwarf friends don't need to say superficial polite words. Friendship is all in the wine. When I have some free time and the opportunity comes, I will definitely have a drink with you and show my friendship as a landlord!"

"If you have a commission, I will do it for free." The demon hunter said politely.

"Elland has constant small troubles, but there are not many major conflicts..." the dwarf responded with a smile, "It is not my fault to bother Master Leisuo. I will definitely not forget you if the need arises."
