, the fastest update to the latest chapter of God-level Demon Hunter!
"Why did you buy this harmful thing?"
The witcher patted his oval head covered with algae with his short knife, as if he was considering where to start.
"Why don't we make it into a barbecue and share it equally? I've never eaten such a big octopus."
"Oh, please be gentle, sir, don't break it!" Linus Peter screamed strangely, then turned to everyone and said loudly, "You know how big this octopus, no, this mollusk is? Is it precious?"
"You said this thing is a rare animal?" The woman hugged the boy and looked at it unkindly, while the boy looked at the octopus evasively, "No matter how we look at it, it is only one size larger than an ordinary octopus."
"It's absolutely true! Think about it carefully, have you ever seen an octopus in a river?"
Linus Pitt said emotionally, "I am a biologist at Cowburg. I have been studying all kinds of strange animals in the world, but this is the first time I have seen such a big octopus in fresh water. The college now has There is no detailed record of it in the information - it is definitely an endangered animal and should be protected!"
"Huh!" A disdainful roar came from the crowd. "Is there something wrong with your mind, protecting a murderer?"
"No matter how rare it is, no human-eating thing can be kept!"
Linus's face turned green and red, but he still held back his dissatisfaction and said sincerely, "Most of you here are residents of Sintra. You live next to the Yaruga River, and you should also know about this river." River changes."
"Don't beat around the bush, what does it matter?"
"Please be patient," Linus said. "In recent decades, the environment of all rivers, including the Yaruga River, has deteriorated incredibly. Have you discovered that many of the things you could see and capture when you were a child? All the fish that arrived have completely disappeared."
"Is there any?" Most people lowered their heads and fell into deep thought.
"To be honest with you, I have conducted a survey and found that fifty years ago there were more than 2,500 species of fish in the Yaruga River, but now there are less than 1,200 species left!"
"The white-finned fathead fish is extinct, the mullet fish is extinct, and there are also snakehead fish, sisara fish, spotted loach, red-bellied minnow, long-bearded aspen fish, emperor shuttlecock..." Linus's tone suddenly became high, "This big octopus may be the only one left on the Yaruga River. If we kill it, we may be destroying a species with our own hands!"
"Hiss—" someone took a breath and wondered, "Is it really as serious as you said?" After saying this, he suddenly found that his hatred for the octopus monster was no longer so great.
After all, they themselves were not harmed by monsters.
"Of course," Linus said righteously to everyone, "that's an understatement."
"But it almost killed my little Blue just now, and seriously injured a brave sailor!" The woman said reluctantly, "You must not forgive me so lightly!"
Linus said gently and generously, "I am willing to make compensation for the harm you have suffered..."
"Let's not talk about compensation..." Adonis limped over with the support of his companions, "Anyway, we must not put this monster back into the river!"
"That's right," the sailors said in unison, "otherwise how can we do business in the future?"
In this regard, Linus patted his chest and assured,
"Of course I will not release it easily into the river. To be honest, after arriving in Verden, I am going to transport it all the way north to Oxenfurt and keep it in the laboratory to study its physiological habits," Reiner Si explained, "It can't live without the glass house for its whole life, and it can't harm anyone anymore."
Linus has reached this point, and everyone’s objections have almost completely disappeared.
"Have you finished the discussion?" At this time, Roy patted the mucus on his hand and gave him a friendly smile - this thing cannot be called a monster, its attributes are less than 10, and killing it will not improve the progress of the profession. , just get some experience and don’t kill them.
"Now it's our turn to discuss, what price are you prepared to pay to acquire it?"
……
"Happy cooperation!"
The witcher smiled like a flower, two hundred crowns, and without much effort, the total amount in the small vault returned to two thousand crowns.
On the opposite side, Linus Pitt, who had been stabbed severely, did not feel any pain at all, and stared at the octopus with his face shining.
"It seems that you are a rich and happy person...I will give you some free advice."
Linus didn't look back. He had to find a way to treat the wounds of the newly purchased mollusk.
The harpoon did not cause fatal injuries to it, but the paralysis poison made it sleepy.
"You can ask the crew to borrow a fishing net later. If it is about to die, just catch it and let it soak in the water. I can also give you some medicine as a friendly gift to prevent it from escaping."
"Thank you..." Linus sighed, "But now it is no longer called the Octopus Monster. I have named it Pete the Octopus."
"It belongs to you now, you can call it whatever you want."
The witcher resisted the urge to complain.
"But transporting it over a long distance to Cowburg is a big project. If you don't take good care of it on the way, you will only transport a body back. And there are too many variables along the way."
Linus frowned, Roy said happily,
"A friendly suggestion, take it to Sidaris, north of Verden, and find a warlock named Dorregaray. He will help you."
"Dorregaray?"
"This is also an endangered animal protector who advocates the balance of all things. He will definitely save this octopus free of charge... Pete has a octopus. And as a warlock, he has superb methods. Even your difficulties are not a problem for him. Question."
After hearing this, Linus' expression softened towards the witcher, "Forgive me for my attitude just now, my friend."
"Of course, I think I will come to Niubu to discuss business with you in the future."
Sooner or later he would have to see the rare zoo.
……
After communicating with Linus, Roy said hello to Ciri and divided half of his new reward among the crew members.
Without their help, it would be impossible to seize this valuable thing. Don't be greedy for this little money.
The crew member did not refuse, he accepted it politely, and then invited him into the cabin.
In the cabin, Adonis's upper body was covered with white bandages. He lay on the bed and smiled weakly at him, "Witcher, it's thanks to you that I survived this time. I'll wait until I return to Sinte. La, I must thank you very much and treat you to a drink!"
"Okay, but I have to toast you first." The witcher held up the dwarf liquor towards the bearded man and drank it in one gulp. "The courage you showed is really impressive. You don't look like a Ordinary people."
"What the hell..." Adonis said with a wry smile, "I am just an ordinary sailor who has been working for more than ten years, but my ancestors immigrated from the Skellige Islands. My grandfather has always warned me, Skellige Jay's boy is no wimp. Besides, that boy is just as cute as my little Reggie, and I just can't bear to sit back and watch."
"Well, here's a drink to Skellige's Adonis!"
"Cough, cough" Adonis blushed and managed to get a glass of rum, "Witcher, I want to toast you too."
"Call me Roy."
The two chatted for a while~IndoMTL.com~ and Roy asked, "Have you ever encountered this kind of water monster before?"
Adunis shook his head and said decisively, "The route between Sintra and Verden has always been calm. For more than ten years, not even a water ghost has been seen, let alone this... well, octopus monster ."
"This is the first time I have seen it. Before this, I had never heard of it."
"Have you never heard of it?"
"Never."
"That's strange." Roy touched his chin and fell into thought.
"Maybe, maybe it's an ominous omen." Adonis murmured,
"What's the omen?"
"My nephew who is a soldier in Sintra has started to be busy again. I feel that the peaceful days will not last long."
"Before disaster comes, there will always be all kinds of evil things coming out to cause trouble."
