The Divine Hunter Chapter 18: 1 code for 1 code

In the afternoon, the fiery sun rose to the middle of the sky, and the temperature in Vizima rose rapidly. The hot wind blowing from the old city flowed into the temple area along the long and bumpy streets.

The wind makes passersby drowsy on the road.

A demon hunter with a strong body and beast-like eyes suddenly emerged from a dark, moss-covered alley in the temple area.

Looking back over his shoulder, you can vaguely see the corner of the alley. In a garbage dump filled with stench and buzzing with flies, two men were lying on the ground, barking like dogs, chewing on moldy bones. and vegetables.

Roy casually tossed the ten Temerian Orens in his palm, and scraped the flying lion boots under his feet against the floor, wiping away the dirty water from the soles.

When the Church of Virtue was still there, the White Rose Knight often patrolled the temple area, which was prone to filth, and the young people stayed dormant. The public security and sanitary conditions in the temple area were greatly improved.

But now that there is no princess to preside over affairs, the temple area has once again become like mud that cannot support the wall.

He was just walking around in the alley when he was stopped and robbed by two masked men...

Situated within easy reach of Lebioda Hospital and the Church of the Eternal Fire, this behavior is simply blasphemous to God and morality!

So, Roy mercifully cleaned up the scum of the citizens of Vizima... After using Axi Puppet to temporarily change their species, he knocked them unconscious and robbed them...

"It's a pity that Master Berengar was not found..." Roy sighed sadly.

He returned to Berengar's house to investigate, only to find that the abandoned disciple of the Wolf and the forging master had left Vizima for more than two months.

Traveling abroad, whereabouts unknown.

"The second task can only be done later."

"Ding----"

Roy made dazzling movements with the five fingers of his left hand, flicking several Orens into the air in succession. He grabbed it horizontally with his right hand, then released the five fingers, and the coins suddenly disappeared.

……

A villa in the Vizima trading area.

"Kaz——" The iron-clad oak door slowly opened, and a male voice as sharp as a file, but with a hint of joy came from inside the door.

"Boy Roy, please come in quickly! This is the guidance of the elements! You came at the right time."

The witcher stepped on the light blue carpet and crossed the narrow entrance. The daylight disappeared. The room was dark at first, and then the lights turned on. The door behind him closed automatically with a "Kaz" sound and no wind.

In the middle of the spacious and empty hall on the first floor, a man in a saffron nightgown strode forward to greet him.

The swinging crystal lamp shed colorful and strange light, illuminating his funny appearance.

A greasy dark brown hair hangs casually on the back of his head. The clothes on his shoulders are covered with dandruff. He has a disheveled goatee on his chin, protruding brows, a flat nose and pointed monkey cheeks.

It’s like a gorilla in gorgeous clothes!

Roy suppressed his laughter.

"Master Kalkstein...well...you still have the same style."

Two hands were gently grasped in mid-air. One was slender and powerful, and the other forearm was covered with black hair, as if it came from a curly-haired baboon.

Kalkistan rubbed his bloodshot eyes as if he hadn't slept for several nights, and grinned strangely, his expression inexplicably excited.

He pulled Roy's hand affectionately to the sofa and poured a cup of black clover, a steaming unknown liquid that smelled of herbs.

"Roy, good boy, after ten years of separation, why do you suddenly come to me and prepare to continue learning alchemy?" The alchemist pinched the goatee on his chin, looked him up and down, and kept nodding.

"You have heterochromatic irises, your body is stronger than a cow, and your body has an unusually strong magical aura. You have obviously undergone a second mutation? Your strength should have improved a bit. What a coincidence..."

"Master, must you have remembered it wrong? What's ten years apart? It's been less than two years since we last met!" Roy raised his eyebrows, took out the hood of Golfin Squirrel from the back of his head, and put it away. Go to the table and let her try the weird-looking drink.

"Oh, be considerate and considerate of the forgetful old man. People who engage in research tend to get confused as soon as they get involved..." The alchemist sighed and said without changing his face, "But whether it is ten years or one year...I When you encounter a difficult problem, you need a strong helper!"

"I'm too lazy to post notices. Are you willing to accept this commission?" He scratched his messy hair, and pieces of skin fluttered like fireflies. "As a reward, I will teach you advanced alchemy knowledge!"

"Wait a moment... In fact, my visit this time is not for alchemy but for other purposes..." Roy thought for a moment, and there was no need to mince words when communicating with a research madman like this, who said time is money. He said directly, "I would like to ask you to come to Nuo City and help me improve the Demon Hunter's Green Grass Trial."

Kalkistan tilted his head, wrapped his right hand around his ear in the shape of a trumpet, and brought it to the witcher's mouth,

"Where?"

"To Novigrad."

"What to improve?"

"Trial of Green Grass!"

The smile on the alchemist's face disappeared, and he suddenly put his hands on his hips, his rice-sized eyes widened, and looked at Roy, his expression serious, as if he was thinking about the problems of life and death.

Roy also remained silent, slightly curved his mouth, and impressed him with sincere eyes.

"Not interested." Thirty seconds later, the alchemist shook his head, "My commission and your request are two different things... Please help me solve the problem, feel free to make other requests."

"But I can't spare a year...A year, twelve months, about fifty-two weeks, three hundred and sixty-five days..." The man spit out a series of numbers like a barrage, staring at the demon hunter Man, raised his voice and concluded, "It's about one hundred thousand orens."

Roy gasped.

Good guy, you really dare to open your mouth.

"Ten thousand orens..." He counter-offered concisely.

"What did you say?"

"If you go to Nuo City to help, I will give you an annual salary of 10,000 orens."

Well, I just made a lot of money, and it was less than the salary that Coral rejected.

Kalkistan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and the fingers pulling his beard twitched, as if he was greatly frightened and insulted.

He blew his beard and stared,

"Boy... do you think this is a business in the market? Are you bargaining with me? Are you a profiteer or a demon hunter? You just gave me a 10% discount. Do you know how much I am worth per minute?"

"If you don't want to, I can only apologize to you... Find someone else to take care of your task." Roy shook his head regretfully and kept the Golfanti, but he felt that his little pet was a bit Something's wrong, "Golfin, hey! Wake up!"

The big tawny squirrel stood in Roy's palm, holding his index finger with two small paws, raising and lowering its legs as if stepping on cotton, its small body swaying unsteadily, and kept stopping. Hiccups.

"Don't worry, the drink just now was mixed with a little dwarf liquor. He is probably drunk..." Kalkstein snapped his fingers, and a soft call of "meow" came from the shadows on the second floor. A chubby **** cat, with its fat body swaying all over, walked on the "cat walk" enchantingly, and jumped onto the table in front of the fireplace.

The long and full tail stands high behind the buttocks.

"Meow——"

"Hello, Sandro... I have eaten well in the past two years and gained weight again." Roy rubbed the black cat's soft and fluffy belly vigorously, and it meowed towards the drunk Goel. Fin reached out his flesh claws.

Obviously it recognized this old friend.

"Roy, leave your pet to Sandro to take care of it. I will vouch for it. If anything happens, I will be your slave! Now let's talk about my commission. The reward will definitely satisfy you."

……

"No interest. Do you know how much I'm worth per minute? I don't have time to waste time with you. It's time for me to go back to Nuo City." Roy retorted.

Getting up from the sofa, he stroked Sandro's drooping beard due to relaxation, and held up the thick and soft tail of the Gorfen, swinging it in front of Sandro's face like a pendulum.

Kalkistan grinned, revealing his neat upper row of teeth, one of which was shining with gold.

He wrapped his left palm around his right fist and considered it for a long time.

"Okay, little profiteer, if you complete the task beautifully, I will go to Nuo City to help you improve the grass trial. I don't need your 10,000 orens, so I will do it for free."

"But for one year...I will leave immediately when it expires. I still have projects to work on."

…

This time it was Roy's turn to be surprised that the crazy alchemist could compromise so easily.

"So the task is very difficult..." He put Gorfin on Sandro's back, and the **** cat immediately ran up to the second floor with the squirrel on its back. "You don't want to turn me into a golden-winged bird or an oriole again, do you?"

"Actually, the difficulty is slightly higher than last time." The alchemist rubbed his right index finger and thumb. "The magic aura in you is beyond that of ordinary demon hunters. You must have extraordinary strength. In addition, the magic aura produced by me is With sophisticated enchanted equipment and alchemical potions, if nothing unexpected happens, we will definitely be able to capture a living experimental sample."

"You have misunderstood me. I am just an ordinary demon hunter. I seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, and I will never interfere with a death commission. So -" An ominous premonition surged in Roy's heart, "You What do you want me to catch?"

"A high-level vampire,"

"..."

The hall suddenly fell into dead silence, and the only thing that could be heard was the thumping heartbeat of the alchemist.

Roy stared at his narrowed eyes without blinking.

"You heard it right, your target is a noble among vampires, a high-level vampire with a human-like appearance."

The witcher walked out without saying a word.

"Hey, little profiteer! Little vampire! Master Roy, wait!"

Kalkistan was sweating profusely and pulled him back to the sofa.

Roy rubbed his face and took a deep breath.

Although his combat effectiveness has been qualitatively improved not long ago, he is not arrogant in thinking that he has any advantage against high-level vampires.

Their attributes, light agility, are at least above the third level, equivalent to twice that of Roy.

But he's a little bit ready to make a move.

The "fortifying elixir" that enhances the ancient blood is missing the blood essence of high-level vampires.

Roy pretended to be helpless and sighed,

"Tell me, master alchemist full of innovation, what inspirations have you got? Where are the high-level vampires?"

"Haha, I knew you were different from those cowards!"

The alchemist scratched his hair close to the Mediterranean Sea, put his hands behind his waist, and walked slowly around the sofa,

"Just recently, the proprietress of the Night Queen's House came to see me..."

"Queen of the Night?" Roy was startled, "Don't tell me to deal with her!"

"No, you have misunderstood." The alchemist looked surprised and glanced at Roy, "It seems you know the true identity of the landlady?"

"This is what demon hunters do. I know exactly where the monsters are!" Roy said. "The Queen of the Night is a high-level vampire."

"Yes, her strength is unfathomable." Kalkstein nodded, "I don't dare to mess with her at will, so I can only maintain a good customer relationship with her. She often comes to me to buy some drugs for people's enjoyment. ”

"For sale to guests of the Night Queen's House."

"I heard the Queen of the Night is a 'vegetarian'?" Roy asked.

"You can say that. She has been hiding well, abiding by the local laws of Vizima, and never killing innocent people... She uses a friendly and happy way to find her own food source... and knows how to harvest it at the right time. Hand."

"Surviving safely in the human world for decades..."

Roy breathed out, and this information matched the memory in his mind.

The only difference is that the Queen of the Night's men are ordinary women, not a group of vampire banshees.

Otherwise it would have been exposed long ago.

"I admit that I am full of desire to explore the group of high-level vampires. I can't wait to dissect one to study and see how powerful the so-called immortal body is, but I dare not act rashly." Kalk Stan said fearfully, "She has an equally powerful concubine outside, living in Fen Kahn."

"Besides, as an old customer, she is quite generous to me. I don't want to break up with her unless I have to."

Roy thought for a while, and if there was no accident, the Queen of the Night's mistress was referring to the barber doctor Regis.

"My heart is itching, even more than when I heard about the Lady in the Lake." He stared at the empty living room and murmured to himself in a daze,

"The lady in the lake is something I cannot afford to offend."

"As for high-level vampires - not long ago, the Queen of the Night purchased high-level black blood from me, the kind of potion that witchers use specifically to deal with vampires. No need to be surprised, I am already over two hundred years old and have some mastery Special alchemical recipes are normal."

"A question arises in my mind, who was the black blood used against?"

Kalkistan seemed to be asking Roy, but also seemed to be asking himself,

"Later, through a series of investigations, I discovered that several murders had occurred on the outskirts of Vizima. Several of the deceased seemed to have been torn apart by crazy beasts, and the Night Queen's men often carried the 'black blood' that I had marked. 'Haunted at the crime scene——"

"So another high-level vampire appeared in Vizima?" Roy blurted out, "An uninvited guest. He broke the rules, acted recklessly, and acted in an extremely bad manner. He angered the Queen of the Night."

"Bang!" Kalkstein clapped his hands hard, "As expected of a demon hunter, this is exactly my analysis, a ready-made high-level vampire that offends the 'locals', this is my chance. ”

"No, the perpetrator could also be a low-level vampire, such as a bat-winged brain demon, or a werewolf."

"These things are not enough to attract the Queen of the Night!" Kalkestan said firmly, "Believe me, man, my intuition is never wrong, the murderer must be a high-level vampire!"

"I want to capture this 'intruder', imprison him, and make him into a long-lasting, continuous experimental material!" The alchemist's eyes glowed with gold, as if a hungry ghost was excited when he saw delicious food. The ground was shaking all over, and his tone was full of enthusiasm,

"A high-level vampire is enough to support my research plan for the next fifty years."

"I, the greatest alchemist, will leave all my colleagues behind and become the first mage to study such strange creations!"

……

"Your Excellency Kalkstein, I have to say that you are so bold and crazy. Think about it, why don't your colleagues dare to take action against Gao Sui?" Roy crossed his arms and poured him a glass of water seriously and rationally. Bucket of cold water, "Conventional means cannot eliminate this kind of thing at all. Imprisoning a high-level vampire is tantamount to setting yourself on fire. Once he escapes... the consequences will be disastrous. Not only you, but the entire Vizima will suffer!"

"Look, you've also heard of the nearly immortal species. Are you not interested in their secrets? What if certain traits can be added to the witcher's mutation——"

Roy couldn't help but make assumptions and his breath tightened.

"For the sake of research, it is just commonplace to take some risks!" Kalkstein said in a persuasive way, "I have finally waited for such an opportunity, and I will never give up!"

"One code for another. If you help me find the whereabouts of a high-level vampire and capture him, I will not only share part of the results with you, but I will also work for you for a year."

"Why don't you try to contact the Queen of the Night? Join forces with her, you are both interested in the invaders."

"I did some subtle testing, and I'm very sorry. The result is that she won't let me take away a member of her kind. I guess it's some kind of strong binding rule within their race."

"This is normal. No matter how ridiculous and hateful our species is, we cannot leave it to other races for research, otherwise it will be an out-and-out act of betrayal!"

The alchemist shook his head regretfully, "So I can only find another collaborator,"

Roy was silent for a while, but he was still worried, "In terms of fighting alone, I am no match for high-level vampires,"

"Don't worry, man, I will do my best to assist you," the alchemist took a deep breath and said confidently, "I have the most luxurious collection of alchemical potions and enchanting equipment ~IndoMTL.com~ to match you The combination of strength and strength!"

"Believe me, even a dragon will have to kneel down by then!"

"And you don't need to hold back. You can use it as much as you want to make that thing lose its combat effectiveness. It doesn't matter if you chop off its head or take out its heart! Even if it turns into a puddle of flesh, I still want it."

With the help of a mad alchemist, capture a high-level vampire who kills innocent people indiscriminately.

A strong impulse surged in Roy's heart, and he wanted to test how far he could go.

He looked at Kalkstein, his eyebrows furrowed like a sword,

"I can't guarantee it, I can only try my best! And I will give priority to saving my life!"

"We still have to sign a fair and just magic agreement! The alchemy equipment you provide me must also be used as a reward, regardless of the result of the attempt!"

Kalkistan showed a hint of physical pain on his face, and suddenly gritted his teeth, his facial features twisted, his eyes greedy, "Deal!"
