The Divine Hunter Chapter 40: The great elder’s price
Behind the throne made of black iron, stood a huge bluestone statue that was flush with the ceiling.
On the throne, a dwarf with a golden crown and white hair rests on the gilded edge with his right elbow, and supports his chin with the palm of his right hand. He is wearing a blood-red satin top that is plump and strong with his majestic body. His eyebrows are as white as snow and are tightly knitted into ravines. His face looked calm and calm, and his deep eyes showed a hint of anxiety and fatigue.
Two dwarf waiters in white robes stood in front of him on both sides. When they saw the visitor, they whispered to him.
"Great Elder, I have brought the person you asked for."
Kelvin walked up to the man and bowed.
"Letho, the demon hunter of the Viper School, and Roy, the apprentice. It's rare that my dear nephew Xavier praises you so much. He must have some real talent and knowledge, and he will not let me down..."
The old man's hoarse voice echoed throughout the palace corridors, like rocks and gravel rubbing together fiercely. The ups and downs of his tone were full of unspeakable ancient rhyme, which was impressive.
This great elder is as strong as a lion, but he can't hide his old age, because he is so old that he is considered an old man even among the long-lived race of dwarves.

The rest is omitted...
The attributes of this dwarf elder are much higher than ordinary people, but this is not surprising to the experienced Roy.
The skills of ancient forging made him keep an eye on him. Lei Suo had always lacked a suitable silver sword, and it might fall on this great elder.
The demon hunter glanced at Kelvin, who was still kneeling on one knee, and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner, "Elder Brovar, we are here to meet you as you wish. But with all due respect, given your reputation and reputation in Mahakam, Influence, just send a word and Roy and I will definitely obey. There is no need to **** us here like criminals, right?"
"Kelvin, what did I tell you before?"
Amid the faint questioning, the originally arrogant white-haired dwarf lowered his head without saying a word, seemingly acquiescing to the demon hunter's accusation.
"That's all, I know you don't like to deal with human beings, but it is a taboo to involve personal emotions in official business. Now apologize to these two distinguished guests immediately!"
The white-haired Kelvin took a deep breath, clenched his fists and reluctantly bowed to the two of them.
"It's my fault that I'm usually too indulgent towards this nephew. However, he is not yet sixty years old. According to human terms, he has just reached adulthood. I hope you two can be considerate."
While he was blaming someone, his tone did not hide the feeling of endearment at all.
Roy glanced between the two and found that Elder Brovar and his nephew Kelvin looked quite similar. They had white beard and hair and handsome facial features, especially the arrogant look between the eyebrows. It is simply carved out of the same mold.
Lesuo turned around and said, "Your Excellency, Great Elder, let's talk about business now? You summoned us to Carbon Mountain in a hurry. What do you mean? You must know that demon hunters are good at it. The purpose is to deal with monsters. The Carbon Mountain under your jurisdiction is heavily guarded and not even a fly can fly in. It doesn't look like it is being invaded by monsters."
"Then you guessed wrong, Demon Hunter. If you are in the fortress, you will naturally not be threatened by monsters." Broval said solemnly, "But the mines in the mountains outside the fortress, these days, Workers have been dying one after another in the past few months, so I specially invited you here in the hope that the murderer could be caught, whether dead or alive."
The two people in the audience looked at each other in surprise,
"It's just something that the villagers of Sponsor asked us to do. It's really a blessing rather than a curse... I can escape the New Year, but I can't escape the winter solstice." Roy still had some doubts in his heart. How could the noble dwarf elder do it for such a group of people? The humans at the foot of the mountain, a group of aliens, worked hard to 'invite' the demon hunter to come and question him personally?
Brouval saw their doubts, a scowl appeared on his old and saggy cheeks, and gave the answer, "The murderer was so bold that he not only killed human miners, but also extended his evil hands to my compatriots. This is undoubtedly A provocation to me, a provocation to all Mahakam dwarves!"
"The murderer must die!"
"That's it." Roy suddenly realized. It seems that the villagers at the foot of the mountain did not know the inside story. In fact, not only four human miners died, but the "adults of the mountain" as they called them were also brutally killed.
"Witcher Leitho, if you can catch the murderer for the people of Carbon Mountain, I will reward you heavily!"
"What if I can't catch it?"
"Go wherever you go, Mahakam will always close the door to you two."
Roy bared his teeth, the demon hunter's face turned livid, and Broval suddenly stood up from the throne holding on to the armrests and said loudly,
"Let me be more specific~IndoMTL.com~ It's like the saying 'a sword is given to a hero'. I have made too many weapons to count, and some of them are unclaimed. As long as you capture the murderer, I will immediately give them to you. One of the rare swords is handed over to me, and it will definitely not disgrace the name of the master demon hunter of the Snake Sect."
Leisuo looked slightly relieved. As long as he is good at using swords, who has not heard of the name of Mahakam's magical weapon. And those made by the great elder himself must be the best among the best. If you get one of them, it will be a huge help in future battles.
"Great Elder, although I am only an apprentice, I can definitely contribute by working with Lei Suo." Hearing this reward, Roy couldn't help but feel excited, but the other party didn't seem to agree with his point of view.
"You?" Broval shook his head and said meaningfully, "Little brother, I think it's best for you to stay in Carbon Mountain and have your fill of wine and barbecue!"
Roy sighed in his heart. Not only did the demon hunters think he was weak, but the dwarves also looked down on him.
In fact, he is still somewhat useful. Although he cannot fight close to the demon hunters and monsters, he can at least help throw a few alchemy bombs and shoot cold arrows.
He turned around and blinked at the hesitant witcher, but he turned a blind eye.
"Great Elder Broval, entrust me to take over. This brat will stay in Carbon Mountain. Please take good care of it for me."
Brovar nodded and said to the white-haired dwarf, "Kelvin, I order you to obey Master Leisuo's instructions from today on and do your best to help him find the murderer. If you neglect, you will not be lenient!"
"Yes!"
Kelvin, who had been bowing his head silently, replied in a deep voice,
"Master Leisuo, you will start the investigation from tomorrow, and the deadline will be two weeks to December. If the murderer is not caught by then, then please return the same way and leave Mahakam!"
