The Divine Hunter Chapter 42: Get started

"Deer-headed spirit."

The product of the intersection of the celestial and celestial spheres, it lives in the deep mountains and old forests. It has beast companions that call for help. It can also control plants to assist. Because of its unique appearance, it is often regarded as the center of faith and worshiped by ignorant mountain villagers. It, sacrifice to it.

"I remember that in many folklore, the deer-headed spirit is a kind character who will help guide lost travelers and save victims from bandits." Of course, the knowledge Roy got from the paper did not It was vividly taught by the devil himself, so I asked as many questions as possible.

"Kid, do you believe this ridiculous story? In fact, the deer-headed spirit will slowly absorb the energy of the creatures gathered in the territory until it is sucked into an empty shell."

"But this guy doesn't usually attack ordinary humans?"

"Everything in the world has pros and cons. There are deer-headed spirits who seem to coexist peacefully with humans, but there are also guys who regard humans as mortal enemies." The demon hunter said with fear, "The deer-headed spirits are raging in Mahakam. , enough to be called 'ancient'. As expected, there will be an altar to enhance strength in the mountains and forests. Starting tomorrow, I will uproot the altars one by one and weaken its power."

Roy was vaguely worried. That thing seemed to be more powerful than he expected, "Are you sure that ordinary steel weapons won't have much effect on the deer-headed spirit?"

"The sword oil, bombs, and potions are all ready. The rest depends on God's will." Leisuo's voice became heavy. "If I fail to come back, you should leave Mahakam and find a way to get to Xin." Terra meets Oakes and Seret. They will be responsible for the follow-up training."

Roy's breath froze when he heard it, as if he was giving his last words.

"How about exiting Mahakam and taking a detour from Livia and Upper Soden?"

"Do you think Carbon Mountain is a tavern, where you can come and leave whenever you want?" The demon hunter shook his head, "Unless we meet the deer-headed spirit, there is no way Elder Broval will let us leave."

……

In the evening, servants brought food.

Although Carbon Mountain Fortress is extremely majestic and majestic, the living conditions inside are not as good as those of Sevier Hogg's mansion in Edsberg. Apart from two beds, a kerosene lamp, and an old clock, there was no other furniture in the bedroom. Fortunately, this place inherits the characteristics of cave dwellings. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, so people will not feel cold.

In addition, the dinner was quite good: two dark roasted meats, hard bread covered with ice scum, frozen fruits, nuts, and honey wine, which had a unique flavor.

Roy gave half of the barbecue on his plate to the witcher.

"Eat more, Reso, what if this is your last bite?"

"Okay," he said half-seriously before the other party changed his face, "It's just a joke, but if you can't come back, then why should I go to Sintra? Why don't I go directly to Novigrad and stay with me?" Moore and Susie sell vegetables." He paused, clenched his hands, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "Since you led me down this road, Lei Suo, you must be responsible to the end."

The sound of the witcher chewing stopped for a moment, and continued after a moment as if nothing had happened.

When Roy woke up from meditation early the next morning, the demon hunter was applying sword oil to the steel sword and two short swords. There was a rare tenderness in his eyes, as if he was looking at his lover.

The strong arm is as precise as a machine, with simple and powerful movements. The gray-white square towel is stained with some yellow-brown grease and rubbed on the sharp sword blade. It is full of inexplicable tension. Roy unknowingly watches the whole process. over.

A row of props are neatly placed in front of the demon hunter: potions, decoctions, sword oil, and alchemy bombs.

"As a rule, this is for you just in case, keep it well."

Leso handed over a small blue can with a yellow rubber band wrapped around it.

"What kind of bomb is this?" Roy was delighted. He still remembered the power of the dancing star last time.

"Anti-magic metal bomb, which can prevent the deer-headed spirit from releasing magic, is equally effective against demon hunters and warlocks."

"Anything else?"

The demon hunter pointed to another object and explained patiently, "This bottle of translucent solution is the residual oil that can cause additional damage to the deer-headed spirit. It is also the sword oil I just applied on the sword."

"The green bottle is demon dust, which can cause a little trouble for it."

……

Not long after, Kelvin came to take away the demon hunter. Of course, this guy still didn't have a good look on the two of them.

Roy was taken around the entire Carbon Mountain by another dwarf, Sanchez.

Carbon Mountain will not raise idlers. All dwarf members have responsibilities: the blacksmith and brewer responsible for production, the dwarf hunting team responsible for hunting, the people who supervise the mines, and manage the daily lives of all residents in Carbon Mountain. ……etc.

If the entire Carbon Mountain was a country, then Great Elder Broval would be the king, and the other elders would be the ministers of the kingdom.

Sanchez was one of the people who took orders from the king and took care of the daily life of the elders and guests. He wore a soft white robe, his beard and hair were neatly tied up, his face was neatly groomed, and his posture and demeanor were different from other dwarves. He had a sense of femininity and was more elegant than ordinary rude dwarves. Much.

Roy followed him and couldn't help but glance at his lower body.

"The beard is still lush. The dwarf 'eunuch' shouldn't be castrated like in another country, right?"

"Yesterday, Mr. Kelvin took you to visit the furnace hall. Today I will take you to the wine cellar on the first floor to have a look~IndoMTL.com~How about tasting the various fine wines of Carbon Mountain?"

"Don't worry about the wine," Roy shrugged. "How about you introduce me to the basic situation of the entire Carbon Mountain?"

Sanchez nodded lightly and said gently as he walked, "There is no need to go into details about the first and negative floors of the main castle. The second floor includes the residences of the blacksmith masters, warehouses, and prisons for prisoners. The third floor is for the elders. Their living room...the sub-fort outside the main castle is home to guards and mine supervisors."

"Where do ordinary mine workers and their families live?"

"You should have seen them when you came here. They live in cave dwellings on the mountain outside the fort."

"How many residents are there in the entire Carbon Mountain?"

Sanchez smiled and refused to answer.

Roy turned and said, "The brothers who work in the mines near Carbon Mountain and the warriors of the hunting team all live nearby?"

Although Sanchez was surprised why he asked, he still answered in the affirmative.

Roy thought that it was impossible for him to search all the dwarves, so it would be fine to narrow the scope of the search as much as possible.

Having the opportunity to enter the mountain forest and have close contact with the deer head, the dwarves who were imprinted are most likely from the hunting team, or the dwarves working in the nearby mines, or the group that has been staying inside the Carbon Mountain, such as dwarf women , the blacksmith and the brewer, are unlikely to have that chance.

So the first target of his search was this group of people.

"Put the wine cellar aside for now. The climate in the valley is so cold that I really can't adapt to it. Can you take me to the bathhouse first? I want to take a hot bath to warm my body."

Although Sanders was curious as to why the young guest wanted to take a bath so early in the morning, he didn't ask anything.

"Of course, no problem, please follow me."
