The Divine Hunter Chapter 37: Get on the road
The sound of the hammer hammering in the blacksmith shop finally came to an end.
The flames in the furnace jumped up and down, illuminating two changing figures on the wall.
The two demon hunters were hunched over, holding swords in both hands, with the sword tips pointing directly at each other. Their steps slid cautiously against the ground, like two venomous snakes showing their fangs and circling to pounce on their prey.
They pounced on each other, attacking almost at the same time. They swung their swords several times in a row, chopping, lifting, stabbing... The air was cut by the sword's edge, and the transformation of sword styles was dizzying.
The sword blades were dancing wildly, colliding continuously, and the metal blades were rubbing against each other at high speed, shaking off a dazzling spark.
Two figures passed each other, their movements as graceful and graceful as dance steps, but their speed was beyond the limit of ordinary people. In the blacksmith shop, only two ghostly shadows were seen jumping, dodging and moving, and the walls were covered with swords. film.
After a long time, the messy sword light dissipated. The two demon hunters sheathed their swords and stood still for a moment to calm down their restless blood.
"Kid, you have made great progress during this time. You have dodged several of my swords." Oaks said with a smile, "And you are just a little slower. It is a pity. If you move your sword forward a little further, you will be able to do it." Stab me."
Roy shook his head. That insignificant point was a chasm that could not be crossed in a short time.
But now, he can at least withstand Oakes' abnormal swordsmanship for a while.
Roy touched his brand-new armor again——
It is completely different from the previous leather jacket that was slightly old and had several holes. Now this black armor is shiny and new, the style is simple and refreshing, the long and cumbersome sleeves have been removed, and the middle of the top is inlaid with copper-colored manticore buttons, which feel as tough as cowhide. During the sparring session, he was struck three times by the standard steel sword, but not even a single white mark was left.
The wrinkled tight leather pants have also been updated. The khaki surface has a row of fish scale-like patterns. It looks a bit too big and bloated, but it is actually more close-fitting and comfortable, and it does not affect the movement at all. sports.
The leather boots further down changed from deerskin short boots that just covered the ankles to long riding boots that reached around the knees.
Armor, trousers, and boots, this is the three-piece set of the Flying Lion School, a work that Berengar has just completed.
At the beginning of production, it was under the instruction of Lei Suo and the strong suggestions of Oaks and Seret.
The foundry master took the dimensions of the "weakest member" of the Snake Faction into consideration and tailor-made it for Roy.
These three pieces of equipment are not exquisite in appearance, but they have excellent protective properties. They are difficult to damage against weapons such as standard steel swords.
In addition, they are not as heavy as mail armor, and have almost no impact on flexibility.
"How about it, Roy, do your clothes still fit you?"
"Of course, no problem, Master Berengar, your craftsmanship has never let me down." Roy was full of praise, "With the quality of this armor, it can last at least a century."
"As long as you are satisfied..." Berengar breathed a sigh of relief,
"Master, you have fulfilled your promise brilliantly and deserve to be rewarded." Roy glanced at several of his companions.
Everyone nodded.
He handed the flying lion monster steel sword to the other party,
"Take it, we all know that you only have the silver sword Tuo Heine, but you are missing a useful steel sword!"
"If there is no spare long sword to replace, the life of the weapon will be greatly shortened."
……
"Are you serious?" Berengar glanced at the people of the Snake Faction, "Just give me a few hundred crowns like this?"
"You deserve this," Leisuo interjected. "In recent times, I feel that I have benefited a lot from forging with you. This sword is regarded as hard work."
"Hurry up and put the sword away before we regret it!" Oaks said with a look of reluctance.
"In this case, it would be too hypocritical for me to refuse any more!" Berengarmo stroked the blade of the sword, his face full of intoxication. This sword was his proud work. "To express my gratitude, I will give you a 50% discount next time I have forging work!"
"No need for next time!" Roy took a breath, "Master Berengar, your outstanding forging talents should not be wasted in Vizima. Will you leave with us this afternoon?"
The three demon hunters next to him turned their eyes in unison, especially Lei Suo, whose eyes were the hottest.
During this period of tacit cooperation, he realized the great role of a casting master in the school. The Snake Sect should have such a key figure.
Berengar is still unwilling to admit his identity as a wolf sect, but he gets along well with the demon hunters of the snake sect. This is also a rare fate.
"Since you don't want to return to Kaer Morhen, why not come with us!" Roy added, "When the Snake Sect is re-established in the future, you will have a place to stay, a room of yours!"
Berengar glanced at the four demon hunters in turn, was silent for a long time, and then shook his head,
"You all know my ambition. I am no longer a demon hunter, whether in the past or in the future, from the wolf sect or other schools."
"I just want to be a free mercenary and a normal man..."
"With all due respect, Master, our reproductive isolation from humans is more severe than any other species. After all, the mutations in the Green Grass Trial are full of uncertainties." Roy paused, "If you want to have children, It’s basically impossible for a witcher! Unless——”
"Unless you can catch a Dijin and make a wish to it."
There are four elemental elves (world spirits) living in the world of demon hunters, namely fire giants, water elves, earth spirits, and djinns.
Among them, Di Jing is the most magical and can help people realize their wishes, even the most impossible wishes.
In order to restore her fertility, Yennefer fell into Geralt's "dirty trick" during the search for Di Jing, and had a one-night stand with him and started a love relationship.
"But capturing the Dijing is an impossible challenge for even the most powerful spellcasters, especially for a witcher, especially a lone traveler like you..." That's all Roy said.
"Di Jing..." Berengar's face also became ugly. After living for decades, he had not even seen the shadow of the elemental elves.
"Man, put aside the unrealistic idea of having children for now." Leisuo suddenly interjected, "After working together during this time, I can see that your passion for forging exceeds wine and commissions... ”
"We are not forcing you to return to the Wolf sect or join the Snake sect." The bald man stared at him, "Just treat it as a cooperation and commission, and help us forge more sect equipment."
Roy is persuasive, "In the future, we will look for equipment blueprints for more schools, not only the Snake School and the Flying Lion School, but also the Bear School, Cat School, etc."
"We need a strong and reliable blacksmith master to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship..."
Roy would settle for the next best thing. As long as the other party takes the first step, there will be many opportunities for persuasion.
Berengar’s attitude was unclear~IndoMTL.com~neither refused nor agreed.
"I will consider..."
Berengar was obviously interested, but after a moment of silence, he declined politely. After seventy or eighty years of life, he would not be easily persuaded.
"Friends of the Snake Faction, I am very happy to work with you. I will never forget the ridiculous experience I had in the House of the Night Queen. But Kaer Morhen, I can no longer go back."
The witchers are sorry, but they don’t force it,
"We will stay in Novigrad for a while. If you change your mind, you are welcome at any time... We will provide equipment blueprints and high-quality forging materials at that time. You just need to enjoy forging."
The snake sect demon hunters left an expectation, and after a farewell banquet, they left Vizima City on horseback from the stone bridge in the north.
Berengar looked at the backs of everyone and fell into deep thought.
End of volume.
