The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Let's go to the manor?" Zelin asked Aiden. "You can go and see what is going on. The curse on her is absolutely different from what you saw before." It is impossible for a person to appear. There will be two different curses on the body at the same time, and the correctness of this sentence has long been proven. Unless the curse of the earl's eldest daughter is neither a transformation curse, nor a deer head spirit curse, but a person cursing her behind her back. This can explain the current situation. Some people don't want to see the Earl's eldest daughter's health improve, but also hope that anyone involved in this matter will completely shut up.

"Yes, the manor, but not to diagnose." Aiden drew out the sword. "What the overseer said to you is different from what he described to me. He must have hidden something. Let's go and see and the person who instigated him to give it Does his money weigh more than his life."

They took a shortcut to the manor along the side path. Zelin can almost guess the purpose of Foltest's arrival in Ailand, but it won't affect their affairs. Whether it is a king or a prince, it has nothing to do with the demon hunter. Foltest can definitely solve the trouble here, especially when there is so much evidence in his hands.

When they approached the manor, the dense fire near the manor forced them to stop the horses. Just as a place for storing wheat and straw, it would be a fuss to have some heavily armed people watch over.

"They have a problem."

"Not blind yet."

Aiden got off his horse and walked towards the manor with Zelin carrying the sword

Chapter 673 Supervisor

"Where is the supervisor?!"

Seeing two men with weapons approaching, the soldiers guarding the entrance of the manor immediately surrounded him. "I want to talk to him. Now, right now, if he still has the guts to come out and face me."

Aiden said to the soldier at the door, "Don't hide inside, I know he is still here."

Standing behind Aiden, Zelin squinted his eyes to observe these soldiers. None of them had marks or badges on them. Some people don’t want to be tracked down because of these emblems. Zelin knows this situation. When some people need to rely on swords to solve problems, but don’t want to come forward on their own, they will use these brand-new, unmarked armors to equip them. His soldiers.

The dwarves of Mahakam once talked about this to him. People often order armor and weapons separately, and they also specifically request that they be made in other styles. For example, people with a Tamorian accent will ask for a Kovind style. Equipment, or people from Rydania will specifically indicate on the order that they need Kevel’s special armor instead of Rydania’s arc armor.

"Who are you? No one is allowed to enter without permission, hurry away!" The leading sergeant raised his hand, and several archers immediately appeared in the courtyard of the manor, bending bows and arrows to aim at the demon hunters standing at the door. Give you ten seconds to disappear from here immediately, or we will kill you!"

"Well, very good, very good." Aiden looked at these people, stepped back slightly, grinning showing his teeth. About three steps, he tilted his head slightly, and whispered to Zelin, "Can I see your Griffin's seal? We can hurry up."

"Relax and do it." Zelin snorted. "You won't be disappointed."

"Very good."

Aiden blew a whistle and walked two steps forward again, looking at the sergeant holding a spear in both hands and staring at him. "I'm very sorry for that, but I don't like to pretend to be framed. Nothing happened."

"Wait, he is the demon hunter who came to lift the curse! Get him! Don't let him run away!"

The sergeant in the courtyard suddenly shouted.

"And I'm not the meat on the chopping board," Aiden said.

Without any warning, the swordsmanship of the Cat School was known for its swiftness. It was just a momentary effort, as if he hadn't drawn the sword at all, and the sword appeared directly in his hand. The sword of the demon hunter accurately found the gap in the Kewende chain helmet, and the flashing cold light and splashing blood made almost everyone present could not react. Cat Pie is suitable for being a killer for no reason. Few people can avoid their sudden attack when facing them face to face.

The sergeant's head fell to the ground with a bang, and at the same time there was a roar of arrows flying through the air. Zelin took a few steps forward and made a gesture of Kunen's seal, and the active shield formed a semi-arc barrier in front of them. The barrier was shining with light, the arrow hit it, and then it broke into two pieces and fell to the ground. . Some soldiers didn't expect Aiden to be in trouble suddenly. Some were stunned for a moment. However, when Zelin took back his seal and swung the ebony blade towards the archer in the courtyard, Aiden, who swung his sword as smooth and neat as a dance, had already resolved. Drop the remaining soldiers at the door.

His hand was injured before, which may make his movements slower than before. But it didn't make much sense. It was nothing more than to let the last soldier let out a scream, and then he was slashed by the sword.

"These **** are not soldiers of the earl."

When the archer saw Zelin’s impenetrable magic seal shield, he threw down his weapons and fled. Zelin chopped down several of them. Some archers tried to attack him with short swords. Obviously they were attacked. The panic caused them to fail to properly assess the situation. Aiden walked to the corpse of an archer who had been chopped down, took a look at his appearance, and took a bite to the ground. "Ha, things are getting more and more interesting."

"Are you sure?"

"I don’t know anyone else, but I’ve met him. In the city hall, I was waiting for the mayor to talk to me about cursing the commission. At that time, this person happened to come to the city hall to receive his salary. I heard the city hall. The bookkeeper in the hall said that he has been working for another baron under the duke for several months. There is a big disagreement... I guess they have conflicts in the lumberyard industry?"

Political conflict? Or a conflict of interest in some aspects? Zelin seldom pays attention to this aspect. For example, what kind of spearhead and interest entanglement a certain family has with another family, he doesn't care, and it has nothing to do with him.

"In any case, let's find the overseer first." The soldiers from the opposing family came to this manor? Zelin did not see any traces of the workers, but the overseer must know something. As long as he is found, no matter whether he is innocent or a victim, they can find the corresponding clues.

"Yes, let's start." Aiden shook the blade and shed the blood on it. "You go to the hall of the manor, I'll go and see if the cursed poor girl in the side room is still there, and her What does it look like now, and then go to the barn. Finally we meet here."

"Put your ears up, it's definitely not easy."

No matter who is in trouble, the manor is very quiet, except for the sound of burning torches, any sound of fighting can attract their attention.

After the negotiation, Zelin walked to the hall of the manor. The scale of this manor used to store and process wheat ears and rice is not that big. The building that really occupies the land is a huge windmill on the side of the manor. Workers will transport the harvested wheat in and grind it into flour. Rather, this manor is used to provide workers with a place to stay at night or a place to rest at work.

He opened the door of the main building. There was no light or candle inside, but the moonlight from the window and the fire in the courtyard were enough to provide enough light for the demon hunter to see the situation inside. The fire light behind him stretched Zelin's shadow onto the ground in front of the door.

This huge hall is divided into many small rooms by artificially placed wooden boards, which looks like a place for workers to stay. There is no decoration inside, only a few long board tables and chairs for eating. Zelin walked in cautiously, it was quiet, but not absolutely silent. After not taking a few steps, he heard an uncoordinated sound from the silence.

Grasping the ebony blade in his hand, Zelin walked over in the direction where the voice sounded. The sound came from a small room that was divided, Zelin leaned against the wall by the door, and once again drew the rune of Kunen's seal in his hand. Then he stood in front of the door and kicked the door open.

Chapter 674 Shadow

"Don't kill us!"

With the sound of the door being knocked down, there was also a panic begging for mercy.

I saw several poorly-dressed workers hiding in the small house. They squatted on the ground, holding their heads with both hands, with uncontrollable fear on their faces. They kept looking around in their eye sockets, mixed with fear. And madness, that's what a stimulating talent will look like. These workers were not tied up, and apparently they hid here after the soldiers arrived. However, it is also certain that the soldiers didn't have much time to come to the manor. Perhaps it was when Carradine went to the Crossroads Inn to prepare to kill Aiden, so that the soldiers did not have time to search thoroughly.

"Relax, you are safe now."

Even though he said that, the blood stains on Zelin's body and the blood dripping on the blade were not convincing. After sighing, Zelin raised his hand and drew the rune of Yaxifah.

"I won't do anything to you, don't worry, there is no one out there who wants to kill you anymore."

A total of three workers hiding here, under the influence of Yaxifahin, they calmed down a bit.

"Where did the others go?" Zelin asked the three workers, "Where is the supervisor?"

"We are night workers, looking at the barn and the wheat straw pile to prevent them from catching fire." The workers looked around. "No one told us that soldiers would come tonight and the overseers were gone. We thought it was a robber, so we Hiding here. What happened?"

"It's safe here for the time being. You can leave as soon as possible. Change jobs if you can." Zelin looked at the hall. "Do you know there are other places to hide in the manor, or underground spaces?" That supervisor might interact with these. The workers hid likewise. Whether he hid because of the arrival of these soldiers or disappeared because he saw the demon hunters rushing in, they had better find him.

According to these workers, there is an underground warehouse in the manor, which is used to store ale. If the overseer did not escape, then he must be hiding inside. The entrance of the warehouse is in the backyard, and through this hall, you can see the wooden boards standing diagonally on the ground.

Before that, Zelin searched the rest of the place. Whether it is a shanty or a side house, there is no sign of anyone inside. But Aiden had some discovery.

"Look, I found this."

A demon hunter of the cat school came over holding a short red cloth. This cloth looked no different from other rags that were blown away by the wind and finally hung on a tree branch, but some symbols painted on the cloth strip indicated that This cloth is definitely not accidentally blown here by the wind.

"Rune of Rune."

Zelin took the cloth strip and looked at the text on it carefully. He has seen this arrangement. In fact, some witch doctors can also write such runes, which are used to cast spells or summon the undead. On a tree-shaped branch, people can fall into a coma, show various symptoms, and cause death over time. Where did you find it?"

"It's right at the back of the house. When I first came, I wanted to look around. As a result, the supervisor said it was private property and I was not allowed to inspect it at will." Aiden walked to the door and looked out. No one nearby noticed. The situation here "The poor girl is still here. The overseer must know who the curse is. Did you find anything? I didn't see where the overseer is. Maybe we should have left a few soldiers just now."

"If he hasn't escaped yet, he should be in the underground warehouse." Zelin stretched out his finger and pointed left and right. "You stay nearby. I'm not sure if he has other exits to bypass. I will go to the warehouse. Find him inside, and if he wants to escape, you will leave the rest to you."

"Of course it's okay, I will resist killing him." Aiden nodded.

"Maybe he wasn't with these soldiers, at least don't do anything until you ask something."

The night is still deep, and they have enough time to find valuable clues. Opening the wooden door in the backyard of the manor, a smell of yeast came over. Obviously, fermentation and storage are the purpose of this manor. Although it is extremely wasteful to use wheat to make wine when there is not much food, these sellers Good buyers can always be found in other countries, and the price far exceeds the price of selling wheat and rice.

The area of ​​the warehouse below is not small, and stones and log pillars are piled around to support the warehouse without collapsing. The paths formed by the bluestone slabs divide the ground into grids, and in each grid are piles of mounds that are almost higher than the ankles. This is the place used for fermentation. On the other side of the barn are huge round wooden barrels neatly placed, all made of oak.
