The Divine Hunter Chapter 13: On the eve of action
The afternoon passed quietly. When the sun set and twilight began to close, the young demon hunter left the gate of Academy Island and returned to the temporary dormitory outside Academy Island to meet with Leitho and Linus Pitt. The group met.
"What did you do in the afternoon?" Roy's nose twitched, and a strong smell of alcohol and women's cheap perfume came from the three big men, "Didn't you say you were going to find out information?! ”
"Stop arguing, business is important," Reso scolded the two of them, and gave Oaks a look, "Now let's talk about what we discovered this afternoon."
Ochs glanced at Roy with a smile, and then spoke slowly, "We just left the Philosopher's Gate in the afternoon, and we found someone following us." Oaks couldn't help but sneered, "I guarantee that those three The guy never knew about witchers, and his performance was like a couple of mice tracking a cat. And then we matched up..."
…
In Oakes' description, everyone roughly understood the context of the whole thing. Local gangsters in Oxenfurt led by Vladimir, a small gang organization known as the Redanian Boar Army, kidnapped Whishaw, who often conducts large-scale transactions in the Cowburg market, tortured him about the rare zoo in Cowburg College, and then became interested in these rare animals.
In addition, the Redanian Wild Boar Army and a big shot in Novigrad have reached a consensus and have been secretly planning during this period to prepare ferries, medicines and weapons and equipment. According to Oakes' analysis, the medicines should be used to deal with that Anesthetic drugs for animals.
Tomorrow night they will sneak into Oxenfurt Academy, steal rare animals, and transport them to Novigrad for delivery.
"I've been kept in the dark all this time?" Linus Pitt turned pale when he heard this, and broke into a cold sweat all over his body. He couldn't imagine how heartbreaking it would be to lose these babies who he believed in. "Fortunately, these bandits underestimated your abilities. A few masters..." The Oxburg scholar turned to the witcher with a pleading face.
"Mr. Linus, there is no need to say more," Oakes showed a ferocious smile, clasped his palms together, and cracked his knuckles, "A commission must have a beginning and an end, and we will help you completely solve the consequences. Since They decided to gather in that room tomorrow morning, and then how about catching them all?"
"I'm afraid not," Linus Pitt hesitated. "Although several masters discovered the Redanian Wild Boar Army's plan, they did not have conclusive evidence to prove that they killed Whishaw and attacked My rare animals have evil intentions."
"And just now Master Oaks mentioned Vladimir..." Linus paused,
"So what?" Oaks asked curiously.
“I once heard a colleague from the Department of Humanities and History mention that the name Vladimir is rare. Unsurprisingly, it refers to a direct member of the Everik family, and the ancestors of this family once followed the Great One Radovid I founded the Redanian dynasty and was a founding hero. It is unbelievable that descendants of a great family would degenerate to make a living by such low-class means."
"By the way, their family's symbol is a wild boar."
"Is it difficult to deal with?"
Linus shook his head, "On the contrary, the Everrick family has deteriorated from generation to generation, and is now completely in decline. They can barely be regarded as a minor noble. However, they still retain a certain influence in the local area and have no firm grasp of the situation. The evidence will definitely not convict Vladimir."
Flius, who had been silent, interjected calmly, "Mr. Linus, demon hunters have their own standards of judgment. Think about what this group of people do, just idle around and harass the people, and now there are more If you know the identity of the murderer of a group of people, do you still need to use evidence to try them?"
The Cat Faction Demon Hunter said decisively, "With just a few alchemy bombs, we can render a room full of people incapable of fighting. And with the five of us Demon Hunters, plus Cantila, we can block all the exits of the villa. Don’t let a fish slip through the net.”
"Then..." Furius made a gesture of cutting his throat, a cold light flashed in his gray-green eyes, "Kill them all to avoid future troubles."
"This is the best option."
The little boy was startled by his teacher's words and suddenly shrank his shoulders.
Others have different expressions.
Linus Pitt looked pale and said cautiously, "Master Frius, I think those guys are not worthy of death, so killing them all would be too much?"
Although Scholar Niubo hates these people for killing his students, his character is still rational and gentle.
He prefers to use the law to punish these executioners.
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Linus," Leisuo said, shaking his bald head. "The Cat Vulture is kidding you. A downtown area like Oxenfurt is definitely not suitable for mass killings. It is best to deal with it according to the law." Appropriate."
"I'm not kidding..." Furius said seriously, stroking the student's hair soothingly.
"We have to respect Mr. Linus's opinion. If he wants evidence, then we should try our best to find a way to steal the stolen goods." Leisu came to a conclusion, "We pretend we don't know anything and let the Wild Boar Army's actions wait. After they enter the academy, they wait for their actions and steal the stolen goods!"
"This is perfect..." Linus breathed a sigh of relief, "I will notify the security department of the college tomorrow and allocate some manpower to cooperate with the master to ensure that those guys will never come back."
"It's not necessary..." Seret declined politely, "If outsiders get involved, it will disrupt the rhythm. What do you think, Roy? Roy?!"
"Huh?" The young demon hunter woke up from a dream.
"Kid, it's not like you to be distracted at such a critical moment."
"I'm sorry...but I don't have any objections. I'll just follow what everyone has agreed upon." The young demon hunter still seemed distracted, thinking about something else.
"Vlodimy, the Everik family, I seem to have accidentally provoked an old acquaintance."
He thought that the Everrick family was healthy at this time, so the story of Heart of Stone should not have happened yet.
…
The next day, beach villa.
"Ogierd, you don't look very well. Did you not sleep well last night?" Vladimir looked at his brother's dark circles and said teasingly, "Is it because Alice is not here that you are alone?" Sleep?"
The brothers of the Everek family are all tall and tall, but Olgierd is more handsome, while Vladimir's facial features are too angular and look fierce.
"Enough! I don't want to hear her name today..." Olgierd rubbed his brows irritably. Alice was indeed brought home by his mother-in-law and father-in-law yesterday.
But my own insomnia is another matter, stemming from an extremely real nightmare.
The scene in the dream made him confused, frightened and desperate.
"Dreams and reality are often opposites," Olgierd could only comfort himself.
"My poor brother, look at your terrible face, don't put too much pressure on yourself." Vladimir put his arm around his brother's shoulders ~IndoMTL.com~ and turned around suddenly, facing the forty people in the hall .
This group of people are all between twenty and thirty years old. They are dressed simply, their skin is tanned by the sun, their bodies are lean, and their eyes are a little more vicious than ordinary farm children.
The young faces still have a hint of excitement and desire.
"Brothers are all ready. Once the 'goods' are shipped tonight and the balance is exchanged, we can take over the silver cloud and relax happily!"
Ogierd took a deep breath and suppressed the anxiety in his heart,
"How's the market going?"
"Don't worry, Punk has 'persuaded' the fish and meat vendors, and the 'seasoning' has been added, just waiting for Linus Pete to send someone to pick it up."
"We deliberately increased the dose, enough to stun the dragon... About two hours after eating, the anesthetic takes effect, and the dozen or so animals will be comatose for at least a day and night, at our mercy."
"As for the demon hunter," Vladimi smiled disdainfully, "he is still drinking and having fun like yesterday, so there is nothing to worry about."
