The Divine Hunter Chapter 47: Hidden forces
The moon is high.
No one came to the bathhouse anymore, so Roy dragged his red skin away and left.
The Carbon Mountain is eerie at night, and the towering fortress is like a devil in the shadow. However, the entrance to the deep valley was brightly lit.
On both sides of the road leading into the valley, on the tall sentry towers, two groups of archers and crossbowmen looked around warily.
In the valley, between the square and the main castle, torches are hung on the doors of all buildings, providing a good view.
Dwarf guards in full armor patrol back and forth carrying heavy weapons. In the short journey from the bathhouse to the guest room, Roy encountered two patrols, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"The frequency is too high."
When he returned to the guest room, the witcher had already changed out of his blood-stained leather armor and was meditating on the bed in a nightgown.
"Little devil, what did you gain on the first day at Carbon Mountain?"
"I got to know a few dwarves, but besides that, my skin is wrinkled and my eyes are almost going blind!" Roy breathed a sigh of relief, jumped onto the bed, put his hands behind his neck, and crossed his legs to complain,
"Go and try it. Stare at a group of naked and fluffy men for a day."
The corners of Leisuo's mouth curved invisibly, giving him a rare smile.
"Leave me alone during the day and make some 'significant discoveries' in the forest."
Lesuo exchanged information with him immediately. When it came to killing dozens of wolves, the boy felt regretful and hundreds of experience points passed him by.
But he could imagine how thrilling it was at that time. With his poor melee ability, he would probably be eaten away by the wolves before the demon hunter could show his power.
There is still a little bit of dissatisfaction and doubt in my heart,
"Why do I have to be secretly looking for the imprinted parasite? If the Great Elder ordered Carbon Mountain to be cordoned off first, and then summoned all the residents to conduct a thorough investigation, he could be found in half a day. He would not be able to react at all."
Roy turned around and glanced at the big man. The man was still squatting quietly in a meditative posture, with no special expression on his cold face.
"I talked to you yesterday. Some humans living in the mountains and forests regard deer-headed spirits as gods. Can you be sure that in the huge Carbon Mountain, except for imprinted parasites, no other dwarves have been brainwashed?"
“No matter how tight the blockade of Grand Elder Broval is, it is impossible to hide it from everyone. Once a massive and comprehensive search is launched, the people of Deer Head Spirit will definitely be alert in advance and escape, and then they will really want to eradicate the deer. The first essence is even more difficult."
Roy was silent and then asked,
"What if the mark parasite is a villager from Sponsor? I have no control over that."
"I will drop by to investigate this matter tomorrow. But there is little hope. Deer-headed spirits like to live in mountains and forests and will not leave the parasites too far. Sponsor is a bit far away from the hinterland of Carbon Mountain. ."
After the witcher finished speaking, he picked up a charcoal pen and began to draw on the ground.
"Let you see something more. In addition to destroying a totem today, I obtained the specific death points of eight deceased people from Kelvin."
"This is the Mahakam Mountains, this is where Carbon Mountain is..."
The witcher outlines a broad mountain range with a few strokes, and a hazy fortress in a snow-capped valley,
"This is the approximate location of the eight deceased people,"
Next, eight eye-catching black spots were drawn in the mountains.
"Have you noticed anything strange?"
Roy stared for a moment, quite puzzled. The positions of the eight deceased people were distributed in all directions of Mahakam. At first glance, they looked chaotic and disorderly, with nothing special about them.
The witcher said,
"The places where the eight deceased died were quite a distance from the way they had to go home. This means that they were driven to the crime scene by the murderer and then killed."
"The point of death is not randomly selected by the deer-headed spirit."
As he spoke, Leisuo used charcoal to connect eight points two by two according to a certain pattern, and obtained four straight lines, and cut a point from the middle of one of the straight lines.
"This is the location of the totem destroyed today."
Roy suddenly said, "The locations of the remaining three totems can also be roughly determined."
The witchers continue to connect according to a certain pattern.
Gradually a pattern became clear - a spider web weaving and expanding, a pair of vague antlers.
This symbol looked familiar, but it also made him shudder!
“From the foot of the mountain to the Carbon Mountain Fortress in Mahakam, the deer-headed spirit is slowly being included in the totem range. Does it want to completely control this area?”
The demon hunter nodded and said, "I have never seen such an ambitious deer-headed spirit. Normally, no matter how ancient and powerful it is, it can only control a human village. Now it actually dares to bring up the idea of attacking Carbon Mountain. , including this great fortress with a population of thousands."
"With the wisdom of the ancient deer-headed spirit, it shouldn't have made such a foolish move. The individual's strength is completely inferior compared to Carbon Mountain. Unless -" Roy guessed, "it has other things to rely on, not just parasitism. believers and believers?"
The witcher wiped the charcoal stains from his hands and said uncertainly,
"Perhaps the dwarves of Carbon Mountain are not as united as they appear. In addition to the small group of deer-headed demons, there are other forces that are enough to cause trouble to the elder Brovar, and are secretly helping the deer-headed demons. 'Layout'."
"They were able to kill so many dwarves without any flaws by hiding in Carbon Mountain and cooperating with the deer-headed spirit."
"How about reporting this discovery to the Great Elder?"
"A preliminary guess, without evidence or target, how to report it?" The demon hunter objected, "You just need to pay more attention to the situation in Carbon Mountain~IndoMTL.com~ and pay attention to whether there are suspicious people around. The main focus is We still focus on searching for mark parasites. After all, our only purpose in Carbon Mountain is to eradicate the deer-headed spirit. We will do our best to do other things."
"By the way, be sure to pay attention to safety."
"Understood."
After the instructions, the demon hunter sank into meditation. The battle during the day consumed most of his magic power and physical energy, and he needed to hurry up and recover.
Roy lay on the bed and thought for a while, sorting out the thoughts in his mind.
I took out the crossbow of Dwarf Regan and the usual Gabriel, and prepared to oil and maintain it.
I suddenly thought that the dwarves valued this weapon so much. Is there anything special about it? I tried to start observation, but I didn’t expect to get information about the weapon:
Blood Brothers (a coming-of-age gift given to his biological brother Reagan Dahlberg by Paulie Dahlberg before he left Carbon Mountain to follow Yalpen.)
Type: Crossbow
Material: pine, steel, tendon, hemp.
Features: Weight 15 pounds, bow length 4 feet, draw weight 50 pounds. Effective range is 200 feet (60 meters).
……
Gabriel
Type: Pocket Crossbow
Material: mulberry, tendon, hemp
Features: Weight 5 pounds, bow length 2 feet, draw weight 20 pounds. Effective range is 100 feet.
"It seems that Boss Reagan attaches great importance to this crossbow just because of its special meaning. The forging material is not much higher than the Mahakam standard crossbow."
Roy began to imitate the movements of the dwarves during the day, carefully oiling the arrow paths, crossbow blades and triggers. After maintaining the two crossbows, he put the "Blood Brothers" into the space and Gabriel in his arms. , hold it and start meditating.
"Don't you leave your crossbow? It's really stupid to do this, but I hope it will be useful."
