The Divine Hunter Chapter 43: Development
"Kill Matteo Sikula/Olov Beard, experience value +160, Witcher lv7 (2200/4500)"
Under the firelight, the evil warlock breathed his last and lay on the cold ground, losing his vitality.
Every part of his body was tortured until not a single piece of intact skin was left.
But at the end of his life, there was a smile of relief on his **** cheeks - finally, he no longer had to endure torture that was worse than death.
Kiayan kept his word and made him realize the pain he once felt.
…
In front of the corpse, Roy exhaled, shook Arondette, and shook off the blood on the sword.
It is not all for experience that he is responsible for delivering the fatal blow. Only he can make the warlock's soul fly away, making it impossible for him to turn into a demon spirit and continue to cause trouble.
…
The Cat-sect demon hunter, who had avenged his great revenge, slightly raised his chin and stared at the broken corpse of his enemy quietly. Every hideous scar on his face revealed pleasure, but there was a flash of joy in his scarlet eyes. The lingering confusion.
Steyngard was chewed to death by a water ghost, and Matteo also suffered terribly.
The hatred that lasted for thirty years was finally over.
Suddenly, he seemed to have lost his purpose and motivation.
There was an extreme feeling of emptiness in my heart.
……
On the other side, the swaying firelight revealed several uncertain faces.
Everyone in the Snake Sect looked at the man who was kneeling on the ground, hugging his daughter's body, with complicated expressions.
Although the culprit was eliminated, the poor girl still could not be resurrected.
This is not a happy ending.
This time the operation was not successful after all.
……
"Let's go, guys! People have been killed and revenge has been avenged. It's time to go back!" The cat vulture patted the shoulders of his comrades in the cat faction, "Kiayan, from now on, you will be here Let’s live well in Nuocheng and start a new life!”
"Brothers, how can I repay you?" Kiyaen took a deep breath and looked at everyone with grateful eyes.
If it weren't for the snake sect's demon hunter, he didn't know when or what month he would be able to find his enemy.
"Thank you for what?" Seret shook his head, "Even if there was no such thing as you, we would get rid of this scum!"
"Kiayan, just work hard in the pharmacy from now on. It's time to get ready..." Oaks smiled heartily, "In a few days, the shop will be decorated, you have to show us your skills and see if you have any alchemy skills. Fall!"
That’s right, from now on, I’m a Guswield employee.
I will become an alchemist in a down-to-earth manner and repay the kindness of the Snake Sect.
Kiayan’s eyes became firm again and he put on sunglasses and a mask.
…
Icy rain fell on my face.
Everyone returned to the ground.
Bai Guang found several faces that seemed like they were from another world.
"Todd, my condolences..." Roy followed the man holding the corpse through the dark and deep tunnel and walked out of the cave. "A girl as simple and kind as Aisha, even if she dies, she will still be in Melitely." Reunite with your dead family members in the Kingdom of God."
"Well..." Todd nodded numbly, his face was ashen, and his mood was extremely depressed. The previous cry seemed to have taken away all his energy, and he became like a walking corpse.
"What are your plans next?"
"Bury Elsa with her relatives..."
"I will buy a house not far from the cemetery."
"Stay with them from now on...never leave again..."
Roy moved his lips, wanting to say something comforting like "The dead are gone, the living should cherish them," but he couldn't.
Toad also bears unshirkable responsibility for this outcome.
He should atone for the harm done in the past ten years.
Let time decide the rest.
……
The prosperous city of Nuo never stops functioning due to individual changes, and time flies in the midst of fulfilling work.
One morning a month later.
The warm morning light shines through the window on a young demon hunter sitting cross-legged on the bed.
As Nunuo meowed, a plump white cat slipped into the window. It pulled at the edge of the window with its stubby claws, tightened its body, and raised its tail. After a moment, it gathered strength.
"Meow!"
It rose into the air, crossed a distance of two meters, and landed heavily in the arms of the demon hunter.
Dian Jin's pupils turned. Roy woke up from his meditation and saw the things in his arms clearly, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
After five minutes of continuous rubbing from side to side, Golfin purred, and then he stuffed it into the hood on the back of his head.
…
Pushing open the door and entering the yard.
In the corner, the rising sun formed two figures, one tall and one short, covered with golden light.
Karl was swinging his training sword at a lifelike dummy, poking and slashing, pursing his lips, squinting his eyes, and tightening his delicate little face.
He is not very old, but his movements are fierce and determined that most adults are not capable of.
"Du Ang——" The wooden sword whipped the dummy around in circles. Every attack was aimed at the vital point, and he was well versed in the secrets of Cat Sect swordsmanship.
Beside him, Furius was holding a training sword, with a thin face, his gray-green eyes shining brightly, and his lips constantly opening and closing to find faults.
"Use your strength, didn't you have enough food in the morning?!"
"Who are you hooking with your left foot there? Don't sprain your foot!"
"Man, even a water ghost needs to rest and sleep! You let Karl practice from morning to night, every day, and you are not afraid of training him to death?!"
"I am doing this for his own good. There is not much time left!" Cat Vulture casually slapped Karl on the shoulder with a wooden sword. The latter shuddered, and his stiff muscles immediately relaxed and he corrected his movements, "Also In two months, the Green Grass Trial will begin!"
"If you delay it any longer, you will get older and the risk will be greater!"
"He must seize every second to exercise and squeeze as much as possible to maximize the absorption of prodrugs and enhance his physical fitness and pain tolerance!"
"Otherwise, with his body that is as skinny as a monkey, he will definitely not be able to survive, and his final fate will only be with his relatives who die with him!"
When Karl heard this, his face turned pale, and his sword swinging movement immediately changed.
"Bang!"
The wooden sword hit his hip, and he straightened his attitude with a grin.
Roy shook his head, thinking of the days when he was abused, "Don't you still have an acorn? If it doesn't work, feed it to him!"
"I don't want the student to lose his memory and turn into a giant baby. Let's wait until he can't survive it!"
"That's okay...then just practice hard, but remember, there will be a wonderful performance on the first day of the song and dance hall's opening at noon today, don't miss it!"
"I can't forget it, don't bother me anymore!"
Roy smiled helplessly and waved goodbye.
More than half a month ago, Coral came to Nuo City and negotiated a deal with the Cat Faction Demon Hunter.
Cat Pie gave her the recipe without reservation.
The sorceress conducts the trial for free.
This also means that Roy also got the cat pie recipe.
You won't have to worry about this for a long time to come.
"Huh..." Roy walked through the alley and arch bridge and entered the bustling commercial street.
Outside Gusweder's Pharmacy, stood a dashing girl with a Mohawk haircut.
When she saw the visitor, her eyes immediately lit up, she moved her long and toned thighs, rushed to the demon hunter's side, and took his arm enthusiastically.
"How was your work today? Have you finished it?"
"Before dawn, I went to the medicine shop to buy all the herbs..." Cantila talked about her daily work, and accompanied the witcher into the medicine shop.
During this period, Ms. Zerikan took on the odd job in the pharmacy and began training in alchemy.
After the demon hunter temporarily leaves Nuo City, she can also stay in the pharmacy to work and make a living.
……
In the store, Oaks, who was wearing a loose blue robe and still couldn't hide his muscular muscles, was standing boredly in front of the counter, playing the game of "left hand and right hand".
Behind him stood two tall shelves.
One is neatly stacked with dozens of dried herbs, and the other is filled with refined finished medicines and exquisite and small glass tubes.
The liquid in the tube sparkles with colorful and attractive light.
They are just ordinary medicines, medicines for treating coughs, colds, indigestion and the like.
A tube costs about ten crowns, which is very affordable compared to other pharmacies.
"Look, who is taking a nap here again? Man, your work attitude is so perfunctory?!" Roy waved his hand in front of Oaks, "You don't have the consciousness of a waiter at all!"
"Come on, Roy, when it was your turn to guard the store a few days ago, you were so bored that you fell asleep!"
"My magic is meditation and exercise. Without further ado, how is business these days? How many goods have been sold?"
"It's about the same as before, I can sell about a hundred kroner a day."
Ochs suddenly winked at Roy,
"The sales volume of disease-removing potions is average, and energy potions are the most profitable, accounting for half of the sales." Oakes opened his mouth wide, smiled brightly, and looked quite contented,
"I have already predicted that the richer the place, the greater the demand for that!"
"If the dance hall next door is converted into a brothel according to my suggestion, we will definitely make a lot of money!"
Roy shook his head and smiled.
He did a quick mental calculation.
On average, one hundred crowns are recorded every day, excluding 30% of various costs and taxes.
That would still leave a profit of 70 crowns, which is more than 2,000 a month. Even if the cat vulture's 20% dividend is deducted, the snake sect demon hunter can still earn every month by relying on this pharmacy. More than sixteen hundred crowns.
It is equivalent to a dozen ordinary commissions plus a lump sum of rewards, and it can be obtained easily, so there is no need to take risks or work hard!
Such a small store hides amazing profits.
Roy became more and more certain that they were taking the right path!
"Reso and Seret?"
"Where else can I go? I'm invited by Lord Transformer...Olov to go to the manor and train his men. This job is much more interesting than taking care of the pharmacy!"
"Don't worry, today is a big day, they will be back before noon!"
Roy nodded.
The shapeshifter has replaced the identity of the Collector, and its destiny is closely linked to that of the Demon Hunter. After all, they both have control over the other.
Mr. Gawain Samsa, who has had enough of the hard life, has become a big shot in Nuo City who can cause earthquakes with just a stamp of his feet. He does not want to go back to the past at all.
He knew better where his current achievements came from, so he deliberately made friends with the demon hunter, and the two sides naturally formed an offensive and defensive alliance.
The witcher helped him cover up, hide his identity, and deal with the Eternal Fire's interrogation.
And he also provides support and convenience to the demon hunters in all aspects.
In addition, in order to deepen the relationship between shapeshifters and demon hunters, the two non-human races, Lord Gawain specially hired masters of the snake sect and cat sect with high salaries to go to his luxurious villa every week to train more than two hundred people. There are a lot of subordinates, mainly swordsmanship and actual combat training.
After taking over the power of the Collector, Gawain Samsa was still slowly implementing a series of reforms.
The direction of the territory he managed began to change, from discriminating against non-human races to being inclusive, restraining the excessive behavior of his subordinates, and no longer rejecting non-human races such as dwarves and mixed-blood elves.
As far as Roy knew, Miss Dreamer took the opportunity to move to the collector's territory.
Of course, for Roy, the biggest benefit after Gawain Samsa came to power - the combined power of the demon hunters and shapeshifters has surpassed either the Butcher or the Beggar King, and is only inferior to the eternal fire.
The right to speak in Nuo City is further enhanced.
After it has stabilized for a while, it will be time for the shapeshifters to open an orphanage.
……
Next, Cantila takes over the clerk's job and Oaks goes out to get some air.
And Roy opened the blue curtain and entered the pharmacy.
Lighted by a magic lamp with moderate brightness.
Cayan, the cat faction, was wearing a close-fitting leather jacket and a blue apron. He was doing his luck in front of an alchemy platform that was much more advanced than a simple earthen stove.
Alcohol lamps, test tubes, medicine pestles, stone bowls, and crucibles were operated and transformed in the slender dark red palm at a dizzying speed.
Weigh herbs, crush, heat, filter...
The strength and amplitude of each movement are just right. His fingers are like ten of the most skilled artists, working together seamlessly to present an elegant and fierce dance.
For a month, most of the potions in the Visgaard Pharmacy were made by Keyan.
The quality of the potions he refined was only slightly worse than Leiso's, higher than that of the Oakes brothers and Cat Vulture, and far surpassed Roy's LV2 alchemy.
He is here to take charge.
The demon hunters of the Snake sect have free time to deal with other matters.
Roy continued to observe Keyan's profile. Compared to a month ago, the dark red scarred face and the ugly, centipede-like bulges were visibly lighter to the naked eye.
Although it is still scary, it is still a bit of progress.
This is all due to Rita Nied. When she was talking to Cat Vulture about the Trial of Green Grass, she checked Kyaan's injury by the way.
The results are not unexpected, it cannot be cured, but it can be slightly improved.
So the sorceress left a bottle of magic ointment that could fade scars, as well as its formula, for Caiaon to apply every day.
If he persists for a few years, his face may become slightly better, probably like a person who was disfigured by a fire.
When the time comes, apply a thick layer of rouge and gouache on your face.
Kyyan can throw away his mask and stop bumping into ghouls.
"Roy, why are you here?!"
"How's it going, man, are you still used to it?" Roy stretched out his hand and shook his hand, asking with concern,
"It's nothing I can't get used to. Thanks to you, I can start my life again..." Kiyaen smiled happily, showing his pale teeth and hideous and ugly cheeks, but they revealed gentleness.
Since taking revenge~IndoMTL.com~, all the anger in Kiyaen’s eyes disappeared, and he seemed to have found another kind of peace.
"I didn't expect that the two hands used for wielding swords and assassinating people could be used in alchemy with the same extraordinary effect."
"In fact, this kind of stable life has always been what I have dreamed of..." His voice became low and imperceptible, "If I have a wife and children, everything would be perfect."
"Don't worry, man, work hard and you will get what you want one day. After all, not all women care about appearance!"
"By the way Roy, the remaining two Cat Pie drawings..."
"Don't worry, we'll talk about it when we get back from this trip. Just keep practicing alchemy." Roy patted his shoulder comfortingly, "Also, don't forget to go next door to watch the show at noon!"
After explaining everything, Roy entered the next door.
The decoration has been completed and the splendid song and dance hall has been renovated.
