The Divine Hunter Chapter 17: Arrival
, the fastest update to the latest chapter of God-level Demon Hunter!
After the conversation with Adonis, Roy had to face the questions from Krauser and his party.
"I have the same purpose as you all -" the witcher winked at the little princess who smiled with two sweet dimples, "I just happened to take a job in Sintra, and I have to go to Verden for the employer. Run some errands."
"Tell the truth! Mr. Roy." Krauser stared at the demon hunter with burning eyes, "Not long ago, you completed the queen's commission and left the palace, and now you happen to be on the same boat as His Highness? Don't use coincidence. Fool us."
"Who said it wasn't?" Roy shrugged helplessly, and the little princess winking at him was pulled behind by the round-faced maid. There was a hint of panic in the maid's eyes, but she still held out her strong little breasts, blocking the Witcher's sight like a little hen guarding her calf.
“The road from Sintra to Verden is either short or long, and the Yaruga River is the only way to go. As a very poor witcher, I can only afford to take a barge. This little shipping fee."
After hearing this, Krauser looked the demon hunter up and down again. Seeing that he looked calm and composed, he waved his hand to let the tense soldiers disperse.
"Let's treat it as a coincidence for the time being. However, I hope that you will pay attention to your identity, and at least maintain due respect for Her Royal Highness the Princess."
After that, he stopped asking further questions.
Although the warriors of Sintra are well versed in water and are brave and good at fighting, unfortunately no one has seen the strange and lethal giant octopus, and no one knows how to deal with it.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess' body of gold cannot be damaged in any way."
The demon hunter has a low status, but his performance just now is that he is a perfect bodyguard.
"Let him follow."
Sent the personal guards and ignored the witcher, and did not let the witcher get close to Ciri. Although Xili was reluctant to protest with her small fist, she was still dragged into the cabin by the round-faced maid.
Looking at the calm river surface again, Roy sighed and sat back among the crowd. As he sat down, the voices in the crowd suddenly stopped and slowly entered an awkward atmosphere.
Except for Professor Niu Bao, who was concerned about "Pete the Octopus", the passengers on the ship no longer dared to sit on the side of the ship, but crowded in the middle of the ship. But when the witcher entered the crowd, their seats also changed subtly.
The ones who were far away quietly approached the witcher, while the ones who were close moved their buttocks to distance themselves from the witcher. Without exception, everyone was secretly observing the demon hunter from the corner of their eyes. Their expressions varied. There were one or two with drooped eyebrows and mouths, revealing traces of hidden fear.
But more importantly, fear is the most common. The people who could talk and laugh freely next to the witcher before became completely silent and dared not breathe.
"Demon hunter?" At this moment, the little boy lying in his mother's arms suddenly called him timidly,
"What's wrong, kid?"
"You, you are different from what is described in the legend!" The title of demon hunter made him bolder.
"What's the difference?"
"My friends all say that the witcher has a big mouth, hands like wolf claws, stinking sores all over his body, and he also eats people!" Little Blue poked his head towards the witcher in a serious manner. Liu Liu's eyes were rolling around, and it was clear that he didn't have the slightest sense of awe in his appearance.
His mother, the plump woman, instantly covered the boy's mouth and gave the witcher a flattering yet fearful smile.
"Master, this little brat is talking nonsense, don't listen to his nonsense."
"Hmm..." The demon hunter nodded and said nothing. After a moment, he covered his face with his hood again, leaned against the yellowed wooden wall of the cabin, rested his arms on the back of his head, and followed the barge. In the rhythm of the river, I close my eyes and fall asleep.
Without the attention of the witcher, the tense hearts of the people on the boat relaxed, and they began to chat with each other again, and the noise became louder and louder.
……
After the three-hour voyage, the bow of the ship broke through the pale waves. The crew roared a loud chant and began to skillfully lower the sails and anchor. As the hull trembled, the side of the barge slowly attached to Along the shore, a dark brown thick wooden pedal was put up.
The people on the boat suddenly became as busy as ants on a hot pot.
Stepping on the pedal, piles of luggage and goods were transported ashore in an orderly manner, and the awakened demon hunters were also carried ashore by the crowd.
At this time, the river breeze blowing from the Yaruga River had a hint of sweat smell, coming from dozens of laborers who were enthusiastically pushing the trucks - the barge the demon hunters were riding was only from Sintra. One of more than a dozen barges from neighboring countries such as Brugge and Soden, they converged on Podlog, a port in the south of Verden and one of the three most militarized towns in the Kingdom of Verden.
The coast of the wide port is extremely busy. In addition to the passing merchants and pedestrians, groups of soldiers wearing shiny leather armor can be seen patrolling back and forth from time to time.
The witcher discovered that in addition to wearing regular steel swords, the soldiers at Podrog Port also had an extra pocket crossbow on their waist that could be fired with one hand.
He couldn't help but rub his chin, thinking about what it would be like to put his enhanced Gabriel together with this kind of pocket crossbow. He pinched his skin again. With his constitution exceeding ten points, how much damage could this little guy do?
Linus Pitt came to him at some point. Behind the Cowburg scholar, two sturdy men were hired to help him carry Pitt's octopus in the big wooden barrel.
At this time, under the influence of the paralysis potion provided by the witcher, it fell into a deep sleep. Only the tentacles and spherical body that twitched from time to time showed that it was still alive.
"Gabriel. That thing is called Gabriel, and is modeled after Verdon's famous weapons master of the same name."
"Although it is not as powerful as the standard crossbow," Linus glanced at the soldier's back not far away, where there is a row of towering towers and a circle of pale city walls. The moist river wind blows all year round, and the walls of the city walls The skin becomes riddled with holes.
In every tower, there stood silently archers holding crossbows in both hands.
Linus continued, "This thing is not as bulky as an ordinary crossbow. It is more convenient and faster. Thirty seconds is enough to shoot a person into a sieve. It is very useful in small-scale, close-range sudden encounters." market, very popular with robbers around Verdon."
"According to you, Gabriel is somewhat similar to the crossbow of the Cat School." The demon hunter looked around, "Okay, thank you for your explanation. However, are you sure you want to continue delaying?"
As soon as the octopus monster got off the boat, people at the port cast curious glances. In this era of lack of entertainment, the curiosity of civilians is difficult to satisfy, and it is also extremely terrifying.
At the Sintra Market, dozens of people were willing to pay expensive tickets just to take a look at the "basilisk". Now Linus's behavior is more like letting his treasure be exhibited for free. ~IndoMTL.com~ Without further ado. Linus gritted his teeth and stuffed a small business card into the leather pocket on the demon hunter's chest. "Although you killed me this time, if you have the same business next time, there is no point in coming to me again." No! ”
The witcher smiled heartily upon hearing this,

"Haha, your generosity is unforgettable. Next time we discuss business, I will definitely give you a discount. Allow me to say one more thing, remember to go to Sidaris to find Dorrega Ray, he will help you."
"I hope so."
After the witcher watched Linus Pit leave, the princess of Cintra also disembarked from the ship surrounded by her guards. Her big, passionate green eyes blinked at the witcher and continued to pace. She put on her little leather boots in an attempt to attract his attention, but was immediately grabbed by a girl with a round face.
Krauser, the leader of the team, also gave the demon hunter a look that told no strangers to enter, and then led everyone into the town of Bodrog in a hurry.
