The Divine Hunter

Chapter 9 Amavit Castle

When the witcher came, he cleaned the tomb very cleanly, and he was not disturbed by demon spirits when he left.

And the tomb of Veli Leis can't give birth to a demon spirit in a short period of time.

Returning to the ground again, the sky was dark, the stars and moon were dim, and there were faint fires flickering in the white orchard village in the distance. But the two of them didn't plan to go to the village to spend the night, and this time was not suitable for visiting Lord Veliris, so they slept in the wild for one night.

Cogrim's remains were put into the storage space by Roy, ready to be buried in the newly built witcher base, which Leto strongly approves. The vast majority of witchers have spent their entire lives fighting with monsters and dangers, and in the end they can only end up in a corpse-infested wilderness where their corpses turn into bird and beast feces. For them, it is rare to have a tombstone after death.

In the moonlight, sparks exploded in the bonfire.

The young witcher sat cross-legged on a raised rock, his eyes closed in a contemplative manner.

The mind sinks into the template, and after leveling up outside Brock Leon, there is one skill point left, and it's time to put it on.

For the lv1 skills that are just getting started - longsword specialization, crossbow specialization, witcher's seal, witcher's senses, and alchemy, because the skills are still in the early stage, they can be upgraded through training, and it is not worth investing in skill points.

As for lv5's slaughtering skills, he intends to upgrade by killing monsters according to the old method.

His final goal was the observation of lv2 and the meditation of lv4.

The observation skills have not moved for a long time, and some obvious shortcomings have been exposed - unable to see through the disguise of the cursed and high-level vampires, observation of high-sensitivity targets can only get a bunch of question marks... It is quite reluctant to use to obtain information.

But the strengthening of the shocking skill last time gave him inspiration. When the skill reaches LV5 and the related attribute reaches 10 points, he will get a staged improvement.

Now meditation-related attributes of spirit 12, physique 11.1, are more than 10 points.

It's just a grade.

Compared with the two, Roy is more inclined to meditate.

Focusing on the "+" sign, in an instant, my mind became cool and my body felt warm.

Meditation lv4→lv5

Spirit 12→12.5

Mana 160→165

Constitution 11.1→11.6

Life 151→156

...

"Your meditation reaches level 5,

When the constitution and spirit reach 10, this skill acquires a new characteristic——

Activation: You are already quite familiar with meditation and begin to get in touch with its essence. During meditation, your body will automatically absorb and store the essence of the water element in the surrounding environment.

Through a complete round of meditation (5 hours), you will get a chance to "activate", which will quickly restore 20% of mana and life after use. This effect can heal minor injuries.

Note: Activation cannot be stacked and stored, and will disappear automatically within a day.

...

Roy pondered for a moment, and activation is a kind of derived ability, just like the relationship between shock and slaughter.

Meditation level definitely affects the effect of "activation".

At this stage, the recovery of 20% of the life at a time is not as good as the 30% of the swallow potion, but the effect is faster, and it is definitely not the slow recovery of the latter for ten minutes.

In addition to the effect of restoring magic power—20% is 33 points, which is enough to use the seal once.

And there is no need to consider the cost consumption of potions, nor the toxic side effects of potions.

"A blue bottle and a red bottle are automatically stored after daily routine meditation, which is convenient and hassle-free."

Thinking of this, Roy restrained his thoughts, and in the watery night, accompanied by the crackling sparks, the big man around him breathed calmly.

Gradually entered the gorgeous world of meditation.

...

The next morning, the young witcher woke up from his meditation and touched the wound on his left shoulder. It was closed and itchy, leaving only a faint scar.

"Activating the healing effect of minor injuries is not bad."

Before long, two witchers came to a hillside to the east of the village of White Orchard, where Ser Viriles' castle was located.

The castle is named after one of Temeria's kings, Amavit, and the White Orchard has been run by the Viriles family for generations. The walls of the castle are covered with moss and heavy vines, and the castle's position is perfect to overlook the beautiful scenery of the whole white orchard, and have a panoramic view of the general situation in the village.

In front of the castle gate, two soldiers dressed in cotton armor and wearing long swords around their waists were on guard. At a glance, they spotted two witchers who were covered in black cloaks, with only their faces showing.

"You two please stop and report your identity and purpose." The soldier's tone was not good, the two witchers were not very good-looking, and there was an evil spirit in the mysterious dress, especially Lesuo's hill-like strong figure, too too appalling.

"We're here to visit Lord Ignacio and discuss something important."

"Need to discuss something?" The soldier's eyes looked back and forth through the slit of the metal helmet. "The lord is busy with business, and I don't have time to see you, so hurry up and leave."

"We are witchers..."

This sentence seemed to contain the magic of calm. The two soldiers were stunned for a few seconds, and then one of them hurriedly turned around and ran into the castle. After a few minutes, he led a rich middle-aged man over. .

"The two are witchers?" The visitor was wearing a tawny tights, with a round face and fair skin, and he spoke politely, even without the slightest contempt or contempt for the witcher.

"I'm Letho of Gulta, the witcher of the Snake faction, and this is Roy."

"Very good..." The man rubbed his hands, and there was a hint of uncontrollable excitement in his tone. "The two of you came at the right time, and there are places where you are needed."

"You are……"

"Oh, by the way..." The man stretched out his hand to the witcher, his palm smooth and without calluses, "I'm Grant, Sir Veliris's steward, you two please come with me, and take your time inside. chat."

...

The witcher followed the butler into the castle. The hall of the castle was decorated simply, without the luxury of ordinary nobles.

Oil paintings, taxidermy animals, armor, none of them can be seen.

The windows above the surrounding walls were sealed, the sunlight could not penetrate, and the interior looked a bit gloomy. The entire hall is illuminated only by a few scattered magic lamps on the ceiling.

There are a lot of busy servants.

Grant led the two to the corridor in front of the hall, and suddenly stopped a maid who came downstairs, "Ragna, how is it, sir?"

"I just drank some wine and fell asleep. Liv was guarding by the bed."

Grant's brows widened after hearing this, "Go on..."

The two witchers exchanged glances.

"Degenerate aristocratic life, just fell asleep early in the morning and played all night?"

...

Grant led the two into his office and politely poured them a cup of black tea.

"I haven't seen a witcher in the vicinity of White Orchard for two years. The two are really rare." Grant recalled.

Roy asked casually, "Then when was the last time you saw a witcher?"

Grant smiled and didn't answer, "I heard from the guard that you have something important to discuss with Lord Lord?"

"There's such a thing..." Leto said according to what they had discussed before, they would take some time to fully understand the whole story, "Roy and I are tracking a monster near White Orchard, but this beast is extremely cunning, from our Escaped under my nose, and finally disappeared near this castle..."

"Listen to what you mean, there are monsters hiding in the great Amavit Castle?" Grant looked strange,

"High probability."

"What monster?"

"With all due respect, non-professionals don't know what it is, even if you tell you what kind of monster it is. But I guarantee it is extremely dangerous and cruel. It can easily kill people."

"I think the lord definitely doesn't want something like this to suddenly break into his house. As long as we search all of them, the thing will never escape the witcher's palm." Leto saw the embarrassment on the butler's face, so he said , "If you can't make a decision, let us have a face-to-face talk with the lord."

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Leto, it's not convenient for you to receive guests right now." Grant's face lost his smile, "I don't agree with what you said. Amavit Castle is heavily guarded day and night, and it's impossible to let it in. Dangerous monster."

"Besides, there are dozens of permanent residents in the castle, and dozens of pairs of eyes. If you really let this thing run in, you will be able to detect it. But at the morning meeting today, the servants said that everything is normal."

"They are not professionals..."

"Okay, you two! I'm not interested in hearing horror stories about 'ghosts sneaking into the castle' right now, but I have a commission on hand, would you like to hear them?"

"Tell me."

"This is your old line of work." The butler paused, "Sir Veliris's mother died two years ago, and he has no family anymore. He has always felt very lonely. Since then, the Sir has wanted to go to the tomb many times. Worshiping relatives, but there are inexplicably many terrifying evil spirits in the tomb, blocking the way for the jazz to worship relatives."

"If the two of you can eliminate the evil spirits in the tomb and make the adults repay their wishes, there will be a great reward."

After the butler finished his statement, the witchers looked at each other. The world was still amazing. They had just left the tomb of the Viriles family on the front foot, and on the back foot, the big butler actually asked them to clean up the monsters.

"Butler Grant, since you mentioned the tomb, I don't need to say anything more," Roy put his arms around his chest, half-smiling, "You can pay us now."

"What's the meaning?"

"Just yesterday, Leto and I cleaned up the monsters in the tomb."

"How is that possible!" Grant shouted, and stood up from his chair, his face flashed with joy, and his face was stern again, "Witcher, you must know that there is something wrong with deceiving the Villaris family on the boundary of White Orchard. What's going to happen?"

"If you don't believe me, send someone to check."

The butler looked at the two witchers again with piercing eyes, and he couldn't help but believe their confident and steady appearance, "I think about it, the two of you cleaned up the tomb yesterday, the monster you tracked..."

"Can you guess? That saves a lot of words. The monster you disdained just now escaped from the tomb. Speaking of which, the monster has a deep relationship with the Sir..." Roy Anjin Staring at the housekeeper, he said in a deep voice, "Maybe, it's lurking beside Sir's bed."
