The Divine Hunter Chapter 13: Reject
Lesuo showed a hint of fatigue, and some minor scratches were clearly visible on his muscular body.
"Sim is dead." After saying that, he stretched out his hand towards the dwarf, revealing a ball of gray powder in his thick palm, which was still exuding a faint fishy heat.
Roy on the side sniffed the familiar smell, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, with an expected expression.
"Master Leisuo, I'm so grateful!" The dwarf held up a handful of Shim's remains and clenched it in his fist as if to vent his anger. His eyes were red, and this time he was completely relieved.
The demon hunter in front of him was so powerful that he could not help but feel chills running down his back whenever he recalled the fierce battle just now.
But there was no doubt that the terrifying demon that had plagued him for months was finally dead.
Relief!
He threw the ashes in the air happily, eagerly took out a money ticket from his pocket in front of Lei Suo, and presented it to the other party with gratitude. "This is the promised reward, which can be cashed in any Vivaldi, Giancardi, or Zionvanelli bank."
Leso glanced at the numbers above and put them away. He knew that these dwarf banks had branches in almost all big cities.
"Master Demon Hunter, Roy, the dwarves have been secretly supporting the revolutionary army, and it seems that it is also to balance the power of Edsberg. Both civilians and businessmen can get the maximum benefit from it. If this secret is leaked Go out, everyone knows that the revolutionary leader Vernon Ryan died in the dwarf's wine cellar, then the Mahakam dwarves will automatically be labeled as baron forces. The balance will be broken, so please be sure to keep the secret for me. ”
"Of course," Leisuo said solemnly, "I will not tarnish the honor of Viper Academy."
"I promise too."
At this time, the dwarf bowed solemnly to the two of them.
"I will keep your kindness in mind. From now on, you will be my guests in Seville. You are welcome to visit me at any time! Let's not talk about anything else. It's not early. Please allow me to entertain you again and enjoy it in my house. Let’s have lunch.”
"Mr. Sewell is serious. This is just a fair commission. You will also pay for it, and the money and goods will be paid." Leisuo did not accept the dwarf's flattery, "But of course it's no problem to have another meal."
……
Back in the hall, taking advantage of Sewell's departure, Roy looked at the demon hunter with fresh eyes, as if he had gotten to know the bald man again, until the other man's poker face that had not changed for thousands of years was gone. Seeing that he was slightly sullen, he asked in a low voice, "Is there really a devil in the wine cellar?"
Leso returned a surprised look, "What do you think?"
"Xim's ashes are actually pterodactyl feces. I smelled that smell for several nights and I can't be mistaken."
Roy was 90% sure that the so-called Shim remains that Leisuo had just handed over to the dwarf were the same thing as the pterodactyl dung that Leisuo had slept in the wilderness a few days ago and used to drive away wild beasts.
"He wants to get rid of the devil in exchange for peace of mind. Isn't it fair that I create a devil for him?"
"If he can't find the devil, he will never be able to feel at ease." Lei Suo paused, "When you get older, you will naturally understand that the negative emotions in people's hearts are sometimes more terrifying than monsters."
"At least, now that we have successfully completed the commission, Sevier Hogg should be able to sleep peacefully from now on."
Lesuo looked at the brightly lit ceiling with an inexplicable sigh in his tone.
Removing this unwarranted Him will really allow him to sleep peacefully? Roy was quite skeptical. However, as a master demon hunter, he has more experience and his judgment may be more accurate.
"I still have a question, how did you create that reflection of Him? Even I was almost frightened."
Hearing his question, the big man quietly stretched out his hands. His calloused fingers were intertwined and danced in the candlelight, as nimble as a cheerful butterfly.
"Leso, when you stop being a witcher in the future, you can give it a try and use your acting skills to make a living in the theater."
……
Three people were dining in the magnificent banquet hall.
Sewell got rid of his inner worries and became a rare talker. He kept talking about some Mahakam experiences and interesting things in a lively manner.
Mahakam, the hometown of the dwarves, has always stood firm by adhering to the principle of neutrality and self-preservation no matter what stage it was in the Northern War.
No matter Aedirn to the east of the mountains, Temeria to the west, or Nilfgaard in the future northern expedition, they could not get any benefits from them. In addition to being rich in fine wine, Mahakam is also rich in minerals. More than half of the mines, foundries, and forges in the north are in Mahakam. There are countless skilled craftsmen who produce the highest quality steel and weapons in the north.
Countries that attempt to encroach on the autonomy of the Mahakam dwarves will suffer retaliation from them and will no longer be able to obtain any weapons or equipment from Mahakam.
Where is the mine? It is simply a golden mountain!
Thanks to the fact that the reproductive capacity of dwarves is far inferior to that of humans, and it takes a full fifty-five years to reach adulthood. If they want to spread their aggression outwards, they do not have the population base, so they are content to live in Mahakam for the time being.
In this era, dwarves have the best life among all non-human races. However, there are also dwarves who leave their hometowns, join the Scoia'tael who are still hiding underground, and start a business of killing and selling goods, or go to human cities to engage in banking trade and foundry industry. Although they are despised by their compatriots, they may live a good life due to their talent.
Speaking of this, Sewell could not hide his pride and a hint of envy in his tone.
In the final analysis, his power as a wine agent is far inferior to that of a weapons ore agent.
The dwarf chatted for a long time. Occasionally, he would curiously ask about the demon hunter's life experience, and then give some flattering compliments.
As for why Roy knew the secret information of the Scoia'tael, he only vaguely mentioned it, but after finding that the witcher seemed not surprised, he left it alone.
The guests and hosts enjoy a meal together.
"Point your weapons at the enemy, entertain your friends with wine, and you two will have a drink with me!"
After having enough wine and food, the dwarf walked forward and pretended to hesitate for a moment, "Actually, I have another unkind invitation."
"You're not asking us to help you dispose of the body, are you?" Roy mentioned it casually as a joke. Unexpectedly, Sewell's eyes lit up and he followed his words, "He is indeed Master Leisuo's assistant. , I have this intention."
Help him transport the body of the revolutionary leader?
Roy shook his head desperately without thinking, cursing that after eating a dwarf meal, he couldn't do a job like tying his head to his belt.
"I heard that the revolutionary army is preparing to march this afternoon to force the baron to release this guy in your barrel."
To do this now is tantamount to risking death.
The dwarf was not discouraged, but turned his attention to Leitho.
The witcher pondered for only a second before spreading his hands, "Sorry, this is not a commission that the witcher is good at, and I really can't earn this money. Let others deal with the corpse. Not to mention that with Sevier With your skills and connections, it shouldn’t be difficult to transport a body out of the city, so we won’t get involved.”
The dwarf stroked his beard with a bitter look on his face, "Although the Baron's army has searched the house, there is no guarantee that they will come back again. To be honest, I have been designated as a key surveillance target by the Baron. As long as I leave the house, my every move will be monitored. It's hard to escape his eyes. Besides, I don't want the fourth person to know this secret. I can't trust them, so I can only leave this matter to you two."
Roy suggested ~IndoMTL.com~ If it doesn’t work, you should find a place to burn the body on the spot. ”
The dwarf shook his head in panic,
"I killed Akon due to my unintentional mistake. If I continue to desecrate the body of this close friend, I'm afraid I won't be able to feel at ease in the future! I want to make some amends, and it's best to return Akon's body to the revolutionary army! Prerequisites You can't have anything to do with me."
"This is impossible!"
This time Leisuo flatly refused and took the body of someone else’s boss back. Is this a demonstration or an insult? Even if we ignore the dangers during transportation and the elusive whereabouts of the Revolutionary Army, how to escape from the hands of the Revolutionary Army is still a problem.
The dwarf with a big beard lowered his head and his attitude was very low.
The eager look in his eyes also made Roy couldn't help but get goosebumps. Then he rolled his eyes and a plan came into his mind.
"Let me think about it, how big is the barrel containing the body?"
Sewell gave the data without hesitation. He had been in contact with the wine barrels in the wine cellar for decades, and he was already familiar with their dimensions.
"What, do you have an idea?"
The dwarf is very puzzled. Even Master Leisuo is helpless. What can this mediocre young man do?
Roy pondered for a moment and relied on his mathematical knowledge from his previous life to quickly calculate the volume of the wine barrel. The storage space could barely accommodate it.
But he was not sure whether it was appropriate to intervene in this matter, so he glanced at the bald man again, who shook his head slightly at him.
"Sorry, Mr. Sewell, there is really nothing I can do."
The dwarf could not hide his disappointment, "I will no longer force you two, but if you change your mind, you are welcome to come again at any time. If you help me solve this problem, I will treat you two as brothers."
