The Divine Hunter Chapter 30: Return the body

It is impossible for Roy to take Toya with him on the Demon Hunter's trial journey, arrive at Cintra and then transfer to Aretuza. That is unrealistic, and it is impossible for Leisuo to agree to bring another oil bottle. .

He had to get help from others.

The only big figures he knew in Edsberg were the dwarf wine agent Xavier Hogg and the principal of Cadell House, a member of the revolutionary army.

To send Toya thousands of miles away to Aretussa and let her join the academy, the solution fell on these two people.

……

Affluent area, Sevier Hogg's mansion, a sunny morning.

The dwarf wine merchant is basking in the sun on a deck chair in the yard. It has been almost a month since the witcher "eliminated demons" for him. He seems to be living a good life, the dark circles under his eyes have almost disappeared, and his waistline has become more " "Luxury", with a thick beard and hair so black that it almost sheds oil.

"Roy, it's been a while, I haven't seen you for a while. You are having a good life in Edsberg." Sewell waved and a dwarf maid with a whip and light freckles on her face brought a gift. A bottle of mead was filled for the two of them, and then they left quickly. "If I read it correctly, you have grown taller and stronger. Although you still don't have a beautiful beard, your manhood has improved a lot... Have you been recuperating with Mahakam's dwarf spirits every day?"

Roy, who was lying on the wicker chair next to him, took a sip of the mead. It had a light sweetness and a soft entrance. He couldn't help but complimented, "Mr. Sewell is right. The dwarf's wine is naturally not the crude watered-down wine." It's comparable to fake wine. How are you doing? After 'Sim' was eliminated, did you still have nightmares?"

"Thanks to you and Master Leisuo," Sewell said with a hearty laugh, "the nightmare has basically disappeared, and I have become an energetic and strong Mahakam squirrel again." He awkwardly sat on the wicker chair Turning over, he held his furry chin with one hand and looked at Roy, "Only in the dead of night, I still think of my poor brother Aken who is still soaking in the wine barrel... and then I couldn’t even eat the next day.”

The dwarf’s hoarse and deep voice paused, and said with profound meaning, “When will Akon’s body return to his territory and rest in peace?”

"By the way, Roy, why didn't you see Master Leisuo today?"

"He went out to do errands and hasn't come back yet." Roy asked, "Mr. Sewell, how about I help you solve this problem?"

"Roy, I heard you right," Sewell stroked his thick beard with a questioning look in his eyes, "You are referring to a person who helped me remove Akan's body without anyone noticing. Send it to the top brass of the Revolutionary Army?"

"That's right...Mr. Sewell," Roy's eyes were bright, his voice was steady, and he looked confident, "Are you willing to entrust me with this commission?"

Half an hour later, in the wine cellar.

A pale man with his eyes closed twisted his limbs unnaturally and lay half-lying on the ground lifelessly.

At the same time, the strong smell of alcohol and a rotting smell of corpses that was so light that it was almost completely obscured by the smell of alcohol rushed into Roy's nose.

He couldn't help but widen his eyes and gazed unblinkingly at this long-known big shot, Vernon Ryan, the leader of the Revolutionary Army. That is the dwarf's good brother Akon. The wise man who never drank alcohol but died of wine.

The male corpse was wearing a simple gray linen coat and black tights, like that of a farmer or a coolie. His limbs are slender and his body is slender. His pointed ears, aquiline nose, melon-shaped jaw, and prominent cheekbones indicate that he has a trace of elf blood.

Perhaps it was because he was too uncomfortable before his death. There was still a trace of fear and ferocity on his expression. His hands were placed weakly on both sides, as if he wanted to grab something, but couldn't.

The corpse had been soaked in wine for an unknown period of time. The skin was covered with wrinkles, and groups of ugly corpse spots could occasionally be seen between the chest and abdomen.

Such a scene is similar to the corpse specimens soaked in formalin in previous lives.

No, it’s more intuitive, weird and terrifying.

The dwarf wine merchant’s eyes were full of sorrow, and he covered his nose unconsciously, "Roy, now that I have removed Akon from the wine barrel as you requested, what are you going to do next?" Do it?"

"If you want to secretly transport him out at night, I'm afraid that won't work. I heard that the Revolutionary Army will launch a second protest march on the occasion of the New Year, but there are still two baron men watching outside."

"Mr. Sewell, how about I show you a magic trick?" Roy walked to the body, looked at the limbs, pulled the body's trousers, and saw a strange tattoo on the right heel - a circle. Thick curly hair.

Squirrel tail?

He frowned, thoughtfully, but did not mention it to the dwarf. Instead, he reached out and touched the body. Vernon Ryan suddenly disappeared.

"This?" The dwarf opened his mouth wide and his chin almost fell to the ground. "Brother Roy, how did you do this? Is it possible that in addition to being a demon hunter apprentice, you are also a hidden warlock? Yes. Cast teleportation magic?"

"Secret... Sir Sewell, please allow me to keep this secret..." Roy said sincerely,

"Well, dwarves respect the secrets of their friends," Sewell said apologetically, "Also, please accept my apology, I shouldn't have questioned you before. You have such abilities, the Baron's thugs would never have imagined it."

"So the reward is still the same as last time?"

"How about we wait until I complete the commission?"

"No problem." The dwarf said cheerfully, "As long as you accomplish this, you will be my brother, Sevier Hogg. I will never treat my brother badly!"

……

For Kader, the experience of the past few days has been really heartbreaking. First, in order to deal with the hateful monster that abducted several of her children, she suffered a serious injury to her abdomen and has been in pain.

Then there was bad news from the revolutionary army. The second protest march was not organized smoothly. The baron's iron-blooded suppression really scared off many speculators who were not strong enough in will and belief.

So far, no more than fifty people have been able to organize. With such a small number of people taking to the streets to parade, it would be better to say they were performing acrobatics.

"Alas..." Kadel sighed. It would be great if everyone could be as worry-free as the new student. He is smart, courageous, and has pretty good skills, and he is not afraid of monsters at all.

Unfortunately, he is the apprentice of a demon hunter and will leave soon.

Thinking of this, Kadel returned to the office in low spirits...

As soon as she opened the door, a strong smell of alcohol hit her nostrils. She frowned and followed the smell of alcohol to the back of the desk.

Immediately afterwards, her pupils shrank into slits, with extreme horror in her eyes.

A male corpse appeared under the desk. The face of the corpse was pale, swollen, and extremely familiar.

Kadel was instantly stunned.

"The great leader, my spiritual mentor, Vernon, is dead?!"

In the yard downstairs, Roy rubbed the hornbeam tree beside him with his palms, watched the principal enter the room, and soon went out with a letter filled with grief and indignation, letting out a long sigh of relief.

"I don't want to scare you. But I only know you as a backbone of the revolutionary army... I can only apologize. Just think of it as the meal money you owe me..."

……

"The principal of Kadel House turned out to be a high-ranking member of the Revolutionary Army..." After listening to Roy's report, the dwarf wine merchant nodded with satisfaction, "My eyes have long noticed that there is something abnormal in that school, and I have also suspected it. I passed her, but no conclusive evidence was found. All in all, Roy, you did a great job in handling this matter. The baron's scoundrels didn't notice it at all. My dear brother Aken has returned to the place he cherishes so much."

The dwarf stretched out his hand towards Roy and said solemnly,

"I keep my word. I once made a promise. The person who solves this problem is my brother... There is no need to be polite between brothers. Roy... tell me, what do you want? Money, wine, weapons. ? Just say..."

The dwarf has long seen that if he accepts the commission at this time, he must have something else to ask for.

"Still need my help? As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely help you."

Roy did not expect that a commission that Edsberg had no choice but to shelve when he first arrived would be useful at this time, but in fact he didn’t put in much effort, it was just like sending a message." express delivery".

"Mr. Sewell..."

"No, Roy, just call me by my name from now on, otherwise you will look down on me as a brother!"

"Uh...Sevier," Roy immediately corrected the title. Although he couldn't imagine how he could call a seventy-year-old dwarf a brother, there should be more politeness in the other person's words.

"Do you know any sorcerers you know? They live near Edsberg, preferably a sorceress who graduated from Arethusa College."

The dwarf stroked his beard and thought for a moment after hearing this,

"Sorry, Roy, as far as I know, there is no spellcaster living near Edsberg. There is a black-haired sorceress over in Vengerberg, but it's too far away."

"But why are you looking for a sorceress?" the dwarf said, "If you believe me, you might as well tell the whole story. Maybe there are other ways to solve the problem. In this city, I'm not bragging, I'm pretty good A little bit of energy."

Roy thought about it and thought it was okay. Then he told her about Toya in the mill outside the city.

After hearing this, the dwarf’s face became very strange. He looked at the other person as if he were looking at rare animals. “Roy, if I remember correctly, you are a demon hunter apprentice~IndoMTL.com~ and you will also become a demon hunter in the future. . Why should you help an ugly girl from the country? Go to all the trouble to send her to Aretuosa. After several years of training, they may not still remember you."

"Just because you pity her?"

"Severe, don't you think, there are some similarities between demon hunters and warlocks... miserable childhood, helpless life, no chance to choose life..." Roy said what was in his heart, "I think she should have a chance to choose."

"I also hope that one day in the future, when I reach that embarrassing point, someone can give me a chance..."

After hearing this, the dwarf looked slightly moved, and suddenly felt that the face of the human boy in front of him was not as handsome as the dwarf, but it was quite pleasing to the eye, so he smiled heartily and said,

"Roy, you are such an interesting person. Ninety-nine percent of the demon hunters I know would not meddle in such nosy matters...but you just intervened."

"As for what you just said, I will help you. I will send a carriage and dwarf guards to **** the child to Thanede Island. Just like you said, give her a chance to choose life! As for being able to If she can't enter Arethusa, she has to rely on her own ability and luck."

"But it will take a few more days..." The dwarf stood up on tiptoes with great effort and hugged Roy's shoulders. "Little brother, the New Year is coming soon. The coachman also has the right to have a good year, right?"

"I hope the Revolutionary Army group can calm down and receive the leader's body inexplicably. I don't know if they will make any other big noise."

"Actually, in addition to the body, I also left a letter to Ms. Kadell." Roy said, "The threatening letter was written in the tone of the Sparrow Gang. I don't expect Kadell to be deceived, but at least it can divert attention. Strength, so that the revolutionary army will no longer blindly demonstrate against the baron, lest it be used by people with ulterior motives."
