The Divine Hunter

  Chapter 72 Suddenly! Forced into the mine

   "Reso, it seems that Deer Shou Jing didn't make you suffer less..."

  Roy was a little worried. Although he was recuperating for a few days, the demon hunter still looked languid, and he obviously didn't recover from his injury.

"It's not a serious injury. It's just that you drink too much potion, which is a bit'indigestion'. When you become a demon hunter, you will also encounter the same problem." Resso said patiently, and then exhorted, "Yes. After this time, don’t get involved in the dispute between the Squirrel Party and the Dwarves."

  "When I finish the banquet tonight, I will leave Tanshan immediately tomorrow morning."

  Roy nodded. Mahakam has never been captured in his memory. Even if they don’t interfere, the Squirrel Party’s scheme will inevitably return without success.

  But when I thought of this extremist organization haunting Eddesberg and Carbon Mountain, it was overcast here...

   "At this stage, the Squirrel Party has become the running dog of Nilfgaard's Northern Expedition? It is the layout of Emperor Enshir in Mahakam."

  Cleared his clues, Roy no longer struggled with this problem, he was not able to intervene in it yet.

   And the demon hunter threw another question, "Did you forget to explain to me? How did you and the dwarf brothers kill the resurrected deer head spirit?"

   "Warlock, plus it, two casters... and the anti-magic metal bomb I gave you is only enough to deal with one of them."

   "Did you forget, the vomit of the hunting boy?"

   "Is that the thing you have been hiding in the space bag?"

   "Uh, what space bag?" Roy whispered and turned his face, trying to hide it.

"Little devil, when I am blind? The equipment and items on your body always disappear inexplicably, and then suddenly appear. The fool also guessed that there is a problem." The demon hunter's face was quite puzzled, "but I don't understand it, you obviously can't control it. Element, how do you use the space bag?"

   "I have never seen anyone other than a warlock possess this ability."

  Roy raised his chest and raised his head, sternly said,

   "I knew I couldn't hide from you. I will tell you the truth today! Not only can I predict the future in my sleep, but I can also mobilize the items at hand, store it in an unknown space, and use it as I want."

   "If you don't want to tell the truth, you can't lie." The demon hunter said in a deep voice, "You must keep this secret firmly! But remember your identity, and don't do any behavior that harms the revival of the Viper School!"

   "Of course, I promise!"

  Sometimes, the truth is the perfect lie.

   Soon, the dwarf attendant sent two sets of dinner dresses, and Resso began to teach Roy how to behave like a high-class man. Finishing the collar, smoothing the folds on the back, the movements are gentle, and the eyes become gentle.

  When Roy put on a bulging blue and white striped coat and tight khaki leather pants, he only felt that there was a mouse hidden under the clothes, and the bite made him itchy and uncomfortable.

   Judging from his eyes, these dresses are simply ugly. Why do dwarves learn from the dregs of humans?

  Reso reprimanded unceremoniously, "Stand firmly! Don’t writhe like a monkey."

Roy's expression froze, and the demon hunter sighed and said, "I think the first time I wore a dress, my performance was not much better than you. But over the years, I finally understood a truth. The academy really wanted Standing in this era, it will not work without the support of the upper class."

"The people at the bottom see us as freaks, aliens, and savages. They do not accept us in their hearts, only discrimination and contempt. But they are extremely afraid of authority, as long as there is a person standing on the pinnacle of power to come out and shout for us, The demon hunter rectifies his name. Over time, the people will eventually accept us."

  Roy was surprised that the veteran demon hunter in front of him would have such thoughts.

  The person who turned to the pinnacle of power? So in the future, you will accept the employment of Enhill Entrance to assassinate the Northern Emperor?

  But everything is in vain. The superior and the demon hunter are not in the same "latitude" at all, and their status is too different. How to put yourself in the position to listen to the demon hunter's ideas and really value them?

  Throw it away after use.

  The number of demon hunters is too scarce, and schools are still full of various contradictions and infighting. Only by ending all of this and twisting them into a rope can the demon hunters continue, develop, and grow!

  All kinds of thoughts flashed in Roy’s mind, and on the surface he was still focused on listening to the demon hunter.

   "No matter what you think, you will learn to deal with red tape in the future."

  Resuo language teaches me earnestly.

  Unexpectedly, an uninvited guest suddenly came to the door—a potbellied, jeweled dwarf wine merchant squeezed into the door and shook their beards.

   "Master Reso, Brother Roy, meet again... How are you doing?"

  "Very good!" The boy put his hands around his chest, his eyes were cold, "Thanks to your recommendation, we ‘won’t enjoy the snow scene for a week’ in Tanshan."

  The Demon Hunter patted him on the shoulder, stopped his complaint, curiously said,

  "Your Excellency Sevier, what wind blew you back to Carbon Mountain? Are you going to the banquet tonight?"

  Sevier Hogg, the wine merchant of Edsberg, solemnly closed the door.

   "I heard that two friends are about to be in disaster, I came here to save them."

   "In the catastrophe, do you mean the deer head spirit?" Roy snorted, "You are late, the deer head spirit has been killed by us, and four squirrel parties are included!"

   "No, no..." The dwarf shook his head, his eyes filled with sincerity, "The crisis I said refers to the next dinner. Come with me, the elder is going to deal with you at the dinner!"

"what?!"

  ...

  Leaving the guest room and entering Carbon Mountain Plaza, the two of them observed the abnormal layout of the entire Carbon Mountain under the guidance of Seville.

  The removal of Lu Shoujing solved the crisis. It is reasonable to say that the first level alert should be lifted in the recent period, but the defense of Taniguchi and the various guard towers is more tight than before.

   Rows of crossbowmen and archers stood on the commanding heights and turned their eyes sharply, obviously guarding something!

  The dwarven soldiers on patrol were not streamlined, but the number increased. When they passed by the two, they would pay homage to them seemingly kind.

  This gave the demon hunters a feeling that they were guarding against some kind of enemy more terrifying than the deer head spirit.

  "Have you seen it, the Great Elder has already laid a net to prevent you two from escaping. If you try hard, wait for it to be shot into a sieve!"

"Very well! Exhausted a lot of hard work to get rid of the deer head for him, but set a trap for us, waiting for us to drill in?" Roy said with an ugly face, "Brovar, the guy who crossed the river and demolished the bridge, I remember!"

  The demon hunter looked calm next to him, but from the clenched fists, it can be seen that he is now a volcano that will awaken from sleep and is about to erupt.

The leader was ridiculed in person, Seville looked extremely embarrassed and couldn't help but laugh, "Actually...I also think that the great elder has done too much this time." He carefully looked at the faces of the two and changed his tone, "But if not Talking about this matter, no matter from which aspect, the great elder is regarded as a fair and just leader."

  The dwarf swallowed in the two murderous eyes,

"The great elder did not intend to break his promise. He has prepared a reward for hunting the deer head elf for you, a rare treasure-a goblin who moved away from Mahakam several years ago, the Guweihir sword ( Gwyhry). When the sword is awarded at the banquet, Lu Shou Jing will pay off all the money if he entrusts it. If the elder has no debts, he will be able to settle accounts with you justifiably."

   "Is this a courtesy first and then a soldier? Send out the sword first, then kill us to get it back. This trick is pretty slippery!" Roy sarcastically said with no regrets.

  He once read a secret anecdote that "Guweixier" is the best sword in the world today, the pinnacle of ancient dwarf sword-making craftsmanship, cutting iron like mud, and the price is astronomical. Now it is estimated that only the magical craftsmen of the goblin can refine it in the whole world.

  But they have escaped far to Tyr Tosha and live a reclusive life.

   "I happen to lack a weapon to bind. If I can get it—"

"Oh." Seville sighed, interrupting his reverie, "You should never take Kelvin's life without authorization, even if he colludes with the deer head to kill his compatriots, he is also the only heir of the elder! Heir of blood! "

   "Kelvin Hogg really is the illegitimate son of the Elder?" Roy remembered hearing the rumors from the mouth of Big Belly Dave, he thought it was a joke at the time.

"Yes, the real illegitimate child, the elder has never publicly admitted to his face, but Tanshan people understand it." Seville pinched his beard, "Don't you find that they look alike? It's just a mold carving. from."

  "The great elder has not had enough energy in recent years, and he is also powerless in wanting to raise children. Your behavior made him cut off children and grandchildren. Can you not hate it? Come with me, no longer!"

   "Where is there a way?" Roy glanced at the tight guard around him, and said helplessly, "Where can I escape?"

  ...

  The more urgent you are, the more you have to be calm.

  The two returned to the room first, put all kinds of belongings into Roy's storage space, and changed into casual clothes.

  Following Seville to come to the Carbon Mountain Wine Cellar with dignity, the journey was unimpeded and unbelievably smooth!

  "In any case, if you get rid of the deer head essence, you have done a great job for Tanshan. Accompanied by me, a wine expert, who will be embarrassed to taste the rare wine of Mahakam?"

  The wine cellar of Seville Mansion has already amazed the two of them, and the wine cellar of Tanshan, like the vast ocean, can no longer describe them in words.

  Under the faint candle light, there are unfathomable darkness and endless wine barrels.

  The small hills of wine barrels are neatly stacked, and the signs standing in front of the barrels are at least ten years old.

  The mellow fragrance of wine and wood lingered around his nose. Roy only took a breath, and he felt a sense of intoxication, as if he was stepping on the cloud, and his heart swayed.

  While the demon hunter rubbed the wine barrel from time to time, his expression was quite moved, and his addiction to alcohol was much greater than that of a teenager.

   "Oh, two, there will be opportunities to enjoy wine in the future, but now it’s important to escape!"

  Sevier awakened the two, sent another guard, and walked for about a quarter of an hour before reaching the end of the wine cellar, in front of a dark brick wall.

In the suspicious eyes of the two, Seville's squat body crawled onto the wine barrel next to him for a while, and then there was a muffled sound around him, and the tightly closed wall was slowly separated backwards, revealing A dark tunnel was opened.

  Roy took a look into the tunnel, and his super-high perception allowed him to maintain a good vision even in the dark environment.

  The side walls of the blue-gray corridor are uneven, and an extinguished oil lamp is hung every few steps, and the road under your feet spreads down with a gentle **** until you reach the darkness where you can't see your fingers.

  This passage seems to have been abandoned for many years, and no one has visited it for a long time, and it is full of traces of cobwebs and various insect activities.

Roy wondered, "This...why is there a mine tunnel under the wine cellar?"

"We call it Smalk. Before Carbon Mountain Fortress was built, Smalk was the mine with the richest mineral resources in Carbon Mountain. It supported the original foundation of the Mahakam dwarves, and was important to our race. Great contribution to development!"

  Sevier said emotionally, staring at the mine tunnel, and then said arrogantly,

"It's a pity that it was excavated many years ago and became an abandoned vein. You only need to spend less than a week, passing through the hinterland of Smailk, Mahakam, and then you can enter the territory of Temoria. Walk west for a few days and you will be Airland."

   Roy stared at the dwarf wine merchant suspiciously, "Old friend, how long has this mine been abandoned? Is there any danger?"

"It has been vacant for almost fifty years, and there may be some dangerous things nesting inside." Seville made no secret of it. "Of course, if you don't want to enter Smilk for adventure, you can also wait for the dinner and face the big Elder."

   "Maybe he can change his mind?"

  Mentioning the great elder, the face of the dwarf showed awe and fear from the bottom of his heart.

  Roy turned to the demon hunter, his expression eager to try.

  "What do you think? Is it to enter the mine to face the unknown danger, or to participate in the dinner to expose Brovard's true face!"

   Resso’s gaze plunged into the darkness, and the same unstoppable killing intent in his tone.

   "Since that guy doesn't welcome us, why bother to ask for trouble? Are you ready, kid, maybe we will fight side by side this time."

   "Fuck it!"

  Roy made a fist, and the sleeping crossbow in the space felt his heart, shaking slightly!

  The only thing he regretted was that he had no chance to say goodbye to the four dwarves in person.

   "Sevier, help me to bring Regan and them a greeting at the banquet, say goodbye!"

   "No problem! Two people, I have prepared food and water in advance for you." Seville quietly dragged a big sack out of the dark. "I think that such a small amount of items will not be a problem for Roy."

  "Wait," the demon hunter turned to Seville, in an inexplicable tone, "Before entering the mine, I have one more thing to ask you for..."

   "Ah..." Seville felt a fierce air rushing toward his face, as if being stared at by a beast, he involuntarily stepped back a few steps, "Master Reso, I don't understand what you mean?"

  "Do you think that a few words can trick us into the mine tunnel?"

   "Come on, tell the truth."

  ...

  Sevier watched the two disappear into the depths of the mine, rubbing his head frantically, his head seemed to be washed away, and he couldn't remember some things.

   "Forget it, the elder is still waiting for my return!" After pondering for a moment, he shut down the mechanism and left the wine cellar.

  　Thanks to the spellcasters of the heavens, I am born to play AI, and reminders for their monthly pass support!

thanks for your support!
