The Divine Hunter Chapter 13: Elland City
"Ade, stop it!"
Everin covered her forehead, her beautiful cheeks wrinkled like bitter gourds.
The little boy in front of him was avoiding the pursuit of Floz the clown, hopping around in the motorcade like a noisy rooster. He seemed to feel that he still had a pair of wings, his arms were awkwardly raised back, and his back was arched. , stick out his butt, straighten his neck, and keep "flying" imitating the appearance of the kestrel in the past, but he couldn't fly.
While shaking his arms, his mouth was still uttering a crisp, childish voice of "Dak, Dak", but his tongue seemed to be in a ball, sometimes curling up and sometimes curling up, and Evelin couldn't help it. Don't worry about the kid biting his tongue.
"Oh, what a naughty child."
The other people in the motorcade were holding their hands, watching this farce with sadness and amusement - Ade's liveliness slightly dispelled the shadow of the group leader's suicide.
"Just be lively." Roy said happily, "It's better than being sad and depressed. Anyway, don't tell them about Aaron's death yet. Wait until they are older."
"But the little guy Ali is more troublesome." The boy thought of the ridiculous scene he saw in the carriage - the little girl mistakenly thought she was an owl and wanted to rest on a stick like before.
However, her body structure was completely different from that of birds. She could not stand at all and fell down. First she cried non-stop, and then she seemed to think of her missing father. Sitting on the ground like a porcelain doll and saying nothing.
The most troublesome thing is that the vocabulary these two children can understand is quite limited, they cannot speak human language, and their mental abilities are worse than those of children of the same age. It's just that I'm more sensitive to kindness and teasing.
"I hope they can return to normal soon!"
……
On a gloomy day, it had been a week since the Sea Scorpions left Shire Village. After entering the territory of the Prince of Elland, they continued westward and arrived at the capital city of Elland.
This massive city lies south of the Pontar Valley on the west side of the Mahakam Ridge.
By the way, Pontar Valley is located at the intersection of Temeria, Redania, Aedirn, and Kaedwen, the four largest kingdoms in the north. It is one of the most important military zones in the north.
There is a popular saying among the people, whoever can control the Pontal Valley can control the entire north!
The importance is evident.
As the launching pad of Pontal Valley, the status of Airland City has also risen with the tide. It is not only a military center but also a commercial center. Although it is not as popular as Novigrad, the largest city in the north, with a population of 30,000, the permanent population exceeds 10,000.
The huge population base has brought huge business opportunities. Merchants from all over Ireland gathered here to set up merchant associations. Horse-drawn carriages carrying specialties from all over the world gathered here. Trade prospered, along with all kinds of other things. The Architects Association and the Blacksmiths Association also held lively meetings.
It is not far from Vizima, the capital of Temeria, and has convenient transportation.
It was a busy morning, and a long queue formed in front of the city gate. The heavily armed guards were taking the trouble to check the people coming and going one by one.
Seeing this, Roy said hello to Evelyn, who was acting as the group leader, and made an appointment to meet at a hotel in the city, then took the witcher away.
"You haven't been to Elland City for a long time," Roy explained to the confused man. "As far as I know, Demon Hunters are not very welcome in Elland right now."
It is now close to the beginning of 1261. In Roy's memory, around 1254, seven years ago, the White Wolf, who gained a reputation as the Butcher of Blavikan, was disgraced in the city of Elland. First, he was insulted by the Knights of the White Rose as worthless, and then he reluctantly participated in a duel where he couldn't fight back at all.
Although White Wolf won the final duel and saved his life, it further angered the Knights of the White Rose, and even Prince Seeward and the Templar Council, who valued the Knights extremely highly, complained about him.
Roy felt that if the identity of the Demon Hunter Reso was revealed, he might be implicated in White Wolf's previous actions.
Leso shrugged and said indifferently, "I haven't been to Elland City for more than 20 years. But I haven't heard of any northern country that prohibits the passage of witchers."
"Is there no monsters causing trouble in such a big city? As long as we have a commission, they will not refuse us." Although his tone was calm, the big man's attitude was very firm. "We still have to go into the city to replenish some alchemy supplies."
"Okay, let's try it first and see if we can sneak in. If it doesn't work, we'll find another way."
Roy's eyes looked beyond the crowd - the Temple of Meriteli is located outside the city, built against the mountain. After resting in the city, I will rush over next.
……
The two of them didn’t do much to cover up.
Roy tied his black hair with a white towel to cover his pointed ears, while Leisuo, like him, wore simple, plain linen clothes instead of the usual conspicuous attire of a witcher, and even There are none of the iconic school emblems, double swords, or potion belts. Like a tall, stout farmer, he blended into the crowd and lined up.
However, things went against expectations. When Roy successfully passed under the guard's eyes, a cold voice behind him made him stiffen.
"Look up!"
When he turned around, he found the guard staring straight at Leisuo and quietly clenching the weapon in his hand.
The soldiers at the entrance surrounded them with bright eyes, and the atmosphere around them became extremely dull. You could hear a needle drop, and the people who were pressed could hardly breathe. Pedestrians coming and going couldn't help but stop.
"Yes, it's you, big guy, look up for me!"
Hearing this, the big man's mouth opened with a sharp arc and he quickly covered it up, and his clenched fists also loosened.
With a faint sigh, he obeyed the soldier's order.
Roy looked on with sadness in his heart. No matter how skilled the demon hunter was, sometimes he had to bow his head in the face of worldly power. ~IndoMTL.com~ Oh, it turns out to be a witcher! ”
The soldier holding the spear lifted his visor, revealing a hint of frivolity on his withered face.
"I've never seen such a miserable demon hunter... Do you think your eyes will return to normal like a chameleon if you put on people's clothes?! Haha, freaks are freaks!" He and a group of soldiers They exchanged glances and burst into laughter.
This group of soldiers had to raise their heads to look directly at the burly demon hunter, but their pointing and mocking were like facing humble beggars kneeling on the ground.
Letho endured it all without changing his face until the soldiers had had enough laughter.
"Okay, back to the topic, do you want to sneak into the city, Your Excellency?"
"What do you mean by sneaking in?" The bald man frowned, "Am I not being inspected openly? Why...doesn't Elland welcome witchers?"
"That's not true...but there is an adult who is very interested in you. I'm afraid you have to go and meet him first!"
"Is this a legal requirement in Elland? You must meet that person before entering the city?"
"No, this is an order."
"Brothers, take the Demon Hunter to wait! Tange, go and call Knight Thales over and say...just say that the guy he's been dreaming about is here."
"Wait!" Roy suddenly turned back and approached the demon hunter. He took a deep breath under the surprised eyes of the soldier.
"He and I are on the same team."
"What! I just said there was a problem," the soldier suddenly glanced at Leisuo and exaggeratedly sarcastically said, "Sure enough, this demon hunter is back to his old business, kidnapping teenagers!"
"No, I am his apprentice, and in the future... I will also become a demon hunter."
