The Divine Hunter Chapter 11: The secret of the dwarves

"Witchers do not get involved in politics." Leisuo made Roy's decision in one sentence and tore up the notice neatly.

Roy had no intention of participating in the so-called parade. He was really disgusted by the atrocities of the revolutionary army robbing outside the city!

Furthermore, no matter how the revolutionary army and the government forces fought, civilians would always be the most harmed. He could almost imagine the civilians participating in the parade tomorrow wailing and being held in prison by soldiers.

One night passed, and the next morning the two arrived at Sevier Hogg's mansion. As the guards entered the gate, the waiting dwarf wine merchant waved away the guards and maids.

He lowered his head and gritted his teeth, crossed his hands and clasped his hands, feeling extremely uneasy. He even walked back and forth several times in front of the two of them. After a while, he let out a long sigh.

"Can you two give me a guarantee and swear an oath never to reveal what I am going to say to anyone... no, including ancient races or any creature."

Sewell suddenly raised his head, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Leso and Roy looked at each other. With empty words and no written evidence, how dare the dwarf listen to their promise?

Sewell seemed to have seen what the two were thinking, "I can't help it, I really can't stand the torture of that monster... the one they call Shim. If this continues, I will die!"

His eyes widened and his pupils were bloodshot. It seemed that he still hadn’t had a good rest after the witcher left last night.

"And even if you make an oath, as long as you are generous enough, I don't think anyone will be tempted! I want a guarantee from you, just for peace of mind."

He smiled bitterly.

Leso raised his eyebrows like a knife when he heard this. As one of the few remaining members of the Viper School, his pride did not allow him to lie about this kind of thing.

“Money can buy many people, but that doesn’t include witchers!”

"Before accepting the commission, Your Excellency never stated that we need to swear. An oath is by no means an ordinary guarantee. It is entangled with the power of fate like an unexpected law, and fate is difficult to break."

"So, the demon hunter's oath will never be taken lightly!"

Letho stretched out a finger towards the dwarf.

"You have to pay more!"

After hearing this, the dwarf's face twitched but he was slightly pleased. The more solemn the demon hunter's performance, the higher his credibility, right?

When Roy saw this, he stretched out five fingers on the snake-killing stick, "50 crowns, well, as long as you pay one-half of Master Leisuo's price, you can get the oath of an apprentice of the Viper School."

The three hit it off immediately, and the total commission reward increased from the initial 200 to 350 crowns, which was completely affordable for the wealthy dwarf wine merchant.

"I, Leitho of Guleta, swear on the honor of the Viper Academy that I will never reveal the secret of Sir Sevier Hogg today to anyone, ancient races, or other guys, otherwise the gods will punish me and let I will not live to see the moment when the school re-emerges."

"I, Roy, swear to...um...the goddess Meriteri, that I will never reveal a single word of what I heard from Mr. Sevier Hogg today, otherwise..."

Roy neither believed in the prophet Lebioda nor the goddess Meriteri, but his oath was true and he would keep it secret.

……

Half an hour later, Leisuo and Roy followed Sevier Hawke into the master bedroom on the third floor. Leisuo first used an Igni sign to make the fireplace ignite with blazing flames, and then lit four sticks as tall as one person. Torches were placed around the four corners of the dwarf's bed.

The entire bedroom was completely bright, with no shadow at all.

"Mr. Sewell, please lie down on the bed now."

The dwarf did as he was told and covered his body with a quilt slightly nervously. Then Lei Suo's voice sounded in his ears, "There are only three of us now. You can tell the secret of your nightmare."

The dwarf closed his eyes, his face was slightly distorted and appeared to be in pain, and he began to tell his story slowly.

"This is a story about my good brother Akon."

"Akon comes from Redania. His father is a half-elf and his mother is a human. Yes, he is the quarter-elf that people say is destined to be extraordinary, so his appearance and pure There is no difference between humans."

"He is a wise man and often says, 'Drink will corrode people's reason', so he never drinks. After coming to the Mahakam Mountains, he often gave me advice and asked me to leave from Brovar. ·An inconspicuous nephew of Hogg became a very popular figure, and eventually defeated Zoltan Ziva and other competitors, and took control of Edsberg's wine agency rights."

"He is my great benefactor and also my good brother. But his character is not designed to live under others for a long time. After following me to Edsberg, he soon had a new goal and left. My team."

"Perhaps it was because he had seen his father being abused and discriminated against by humans because of his elf ancestry in Redania since he was a child. He never enjoyed a fair social status. He despised all injustice and discrimination from the bottom of his heart. And take action and actually resist."

"There is no doubt that the extremely high taxes in Aden are extremely unfair. Therefore, he used his wisdom to secretly summon all the civilians who had the courage to resist."

"Regardless of race or past, as long as you have a heart that pursues freedom, justice, and has the courage to resist, you can join Akon's team and get free food and accommodation. Of course, part of his funds are funded by me. Maybe it's because of Aden There are seeds of revolution in people's blood, and the team grew very quickly, and soon reached a point where Baron Tarwick had to pay attention."

"A fifth force appeared in Edsberg besides the baron army, civilians, the Sparrow Gang, and the dwarves of Mahakam. The initial balance of forces was broken, and Tavik, the moderate baron, opened up The negotiation with Aken started very smoothly, and the negotiation achieved results that satisfied almost everyone. The tax on farmers and merchants was reduced by one-fifth. I advised Aken to stop, but he was not satisfied and remained calm. After a period of time, he continued to put pressure on the baron."

"Alas, the prophet said that 'the anger of an honest man can burn down the entire Mahakam.' The baron was angered by his over-the-top behavior and issued a wanted order!"

Hearing this, Roy's eyes lit up. He had already guessed the true identity of Akon.

"In order to avoid the search, Akon secretly came to me for help. As a good brother, I took him in. I swear to the Holy Mountain that I hid him in the most secret place in the entire Sevier Mansion."

Roy and the demon hunter remained calm, as if they had no idea.

"There are endless wine barrels in the basement, and the soldiers are constantly searching for them. What's more, I don't allow them to open the barrels and spoil my wine. The baron does not dare to offend Mahakam's power too much and let the soldiers do this. As it should be Of course, they didn't find Akon hiding in a barrel of dwarf liquor that was over sixty years old."

"Akon is very safe..." A wry smile appeared on Sewell's face, "Unfortunately, I missed one thing. He is a teetotaler~IndoMTL.com~ and has never had a drink. He drinks more than he did when he was born. The baby is even shallower."

"When I returned to the wine cellar and opened the barrel, he actually...actually...passed out from the smell of the strong liquor, his face was red and he was lying in the half-barrel of strong liquor, as if he had fallen asleep, but no matter what I said, No matter how I called him, he didn't wake up."

"He's dead!" Sewell sat up straight from the bed, grabbed Lei Suo's bear paw, blew his beard and stared, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

"How ridiculous! What a jealous man! A wise man who never drank alcohol actually died of drunkenness in my wine cellar. I dream about Akon every night. He comes to ask me why I use fine wine. Murder his life. I failed him in his kindness to me."

After listening to the whole story, Lei Suo felt a sense of absurdity in his heart. The guy who obviously didn't drink alcohol died in the barrel.

"I'm a bastard...I...I deserve the nightmare...I'm sorry for him! But I didn't murder him!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" The dwarf with big and thick panda eyes kept talking like a dream, then covered his face and cried loudly, just like a giant child. Roy couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his mouth when he saw this.

"Okay, we know all the ins and outs of the matter. Mr. Sewell, calm down quickly and come with us to the wine cellar to see the situation. According to you, the wine cellar is undoubtedly the place you are most afraid of. If you don't leave, Unexpectedly, Shim will appear there!"

"Ah? I...can I not go?!" Sewell tightened his body in fear. He was in a tangled mood. He wanted to see with his own eyes this guy who had been pestering him for months, but he couldn't. Unable to suppress the fear in my heart.

Reso pretended to think for a moment, "You are watching us near the door of the wine cellar!

"Give...the key...the key to you!"
