The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Well, this is the first time I have seen a traveler like you." The old horse pinched his waist, frowning and looking at the krona in Zelin's hand. Then he took it, weighed the weight of the currency, and checked it carefully. Finally, he shook his head. "I can't do this. I have to ask Mr. Mario. This is not a small sum. If you don't hurry, stay here for one night, I will ask you this gold coin. Mr. Mario, if he agrees, I will sell you the horse, how about it?"

"Well, I will leave tomorrow morning. I hope I can leave on a horse instead of walking at that time." Zelin nodded in agreement. Lao Mahao’s request is reasonable, he has no reason to refuse, and he does want to change clothes here, asking for the message "Excuse me, where can I temporarily exchange such gold coins for some ducats? I think It takes money to spend one night in the city and buy a change of clothes."

"I have lived for more than fifty years, and I have never seen a scammer who would use real gold to cheat. The fakes can't escape my eyes." Frederick laughed. "I am not a banker, I can only take care of horses. , But thanks to the blessing here, I still have a few ducats that can be exchanged with others"

"Thanks a lot then"

In the end, Zelin exchanged 30 ducats for the crown with the highest gold content at a ratio of one to one. It looks a little worthless, but Zelin is just an outsider after all, holding an inexplicable gold coin, the requirements are too high, it will inevitably lead to other speculations, he does not want to be regarded as a liar. Besides, he doesn't need too much Duckett. By tomorrow, he can change into the same clothes as the people around him, take the horse, and go to other places. It is enough to find a place near the portal that can shelter from wind and rain. , It would be better if you find a cave.

By the way, he also asked Frederick about where there are places to stay in the town. The old horseman told the demon hunter that he could go to the inn of Miss Angelina Ceres and the only tailor shop in the city. .

"Oh, be careful. Miss Ceres has a flower shop on the first floor. It's obvious that you can find it."

Before leaving, the old horseman did not forget to remind the demon hunter.

The tailor shop was very conspicuous. After Zelin walked inward along the main road not far, he saw a tailor sitting behind the workbench with his legs up, concentrating on sewing a seemingly precious emerald green cloak.

The tailor's face was very kind, half of his white hair was combed and neatly. When a customer arrived, he immediately got up and said hello to Zelin, "What can I do, sir? Do you need custom clothes or mending clothes? "He looked professionally at the demon hunter. "From my point of view, although I don't sell clothes, you are not comfortable wearing it at all."

Zelin knocked on this griffon skin. As far as he felt, the leather armor and the shirt inside were very comfortable. After all, in the world of popular tights, it is not easy to find a place to sell loose clothes. I want to make a new dress, do you have any suggestions?"

"Well, let me measure the size first, and then you can choose a style you like."

"Can you make it tomorrow morning? I will leave tomorrow morning." Zelin is more worried about time.

The tailor smiled. "Slow work will do meticulous work, sir, but if you insist on coming tomorrow morning, I will do my best to help you."

So Zelin chose a wool shirt that would not be easily worn out on the advice of a tailor. He has to stay in the wild for a while. It seems to be a peaceful place. People wearing armor and carrying two swords will inevitably attract unnecessary attention. Spend some time and money to disguise yourself and dress up like a local. The rest of the time should be easy.

Leaving the tailor's shop, and agreed with the tailor to pick up the clothes tomorrow morning, the demon hunter paced through the square in the middle of the town, Miss Ceres' shop should be nearby. I have to say that he feels right. When Zelin appeared in the square in the middle of the town, he attracted a lot of attention, wearing strange clothes and equipped with weapons, especially the soldiers in blue woolen clothes- -Only soldiers equipped with weapons and uniform uniforms-always staring at the demon hunters unconsciously, this town is not big, strangers from outside are easy to notice

When passing by the city wall, the demon hunter looked up and saw that several soldiers were playing with a black metal product that was about one meter long and resembling a tube. Perhaps this was the cannon mentioned by Mario. . This thing called a cannon is much smaller than a catapult, and a little smaller than a ballista, but the sound it makes is louder than the sound of a stone falling on the catapult.

Depending on where the cannon is placed, maybe this is an improved version of the stone thrower, but compared with it, it occupies much less space and requires less maneuvering. If Kyle Morhan was attacked by fanatics, all the bulky ballistas on the Demon Hunter's Castle would be replaced with seemingly more convenient cannons...

Zelin suddenly became interested in this weapon.

But he still turned and left before being suspected of spying on intelligence by the soldiers. It was still a long time. He might be able to think of a way to figure out the principles of these weapons. Why rush for a while, and the town won't disappear tomorrow. The sun is about to go down soon, so it's better to find that hotel first.

Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Five

When Zelin came to the hotel, Ms. Angelina Ceres was sorting out a basket of neatly arranged flowers. Just like the old horse said, there is a flower shop on the first floor, and colorful flowers are placed around the shop. . There are many flowers that you know and don’t know. It's really amazing that some people actually rely on buying and selling flowers to make money. Selling flowers, Zelin really doesn’t understand why people would buy flowers that can be found everywhere in the wild, but the world seems so strange. The business of flower shops seems to be better than that of hotels. I really doubt whether the reason for being used as a hotel is a lot more. So the house was temporarily rented out.

"You want to stay, huh~" Angelina lay one hand on her waist, resting her chin in the other hand, and looking at the stranger in front of her, her mouth curled up slightly with a warm smile. "Why did you return to one? A florist looking for accommodation?"

"Mr. Friedrich told me that I could come here." Zelin's suspicion of this lady was a bit inexplicable, but he still seriously explained "I will pay, I will only stay for one night, and I will leave the next morning. Trouble here."

"It seems that he didn't tell you where the real hotel is." Angelina smiled. "It's okay. If you don't mind doing me a favor, you can stay here for one night. Help me deliver this plate of flowers. Go to the manor. This is for Miss Claudia Auditore’s birthday. It was supposed to be sent by my gardener, but his wife is sick, but tonight is Miss Claudia’s birthday. Send it over." She patted Zelin on the shoulder. "I think you must still have strength, traveler."

"But I don't know where Miss Claudia is and where is it going to?" Zelin shrugged. "As you can see, this is my first time here."

"Of course, I will come with you. Miss Claudia and I are good friends." Angelina smiled with a smile. Bring your luggage upstairs, be careful not to damage things."

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Monteriggioni was covered with a golden veil. Holding a basket of flowers and walking halfway down the road, Zelin understood what the lady Claudia was talking about. They are walking towards the largest manor in the city. No matter how you look at it, the owner of a town should live in the best place. The families of Mario and Ezio are the owners of this town, so they correspond to the Pogia family. , Their family seems to be the suffix of Miss Claudia, Auditore, and Claudia is a relative of Ezio.

Although these speculations are meaningless to the demon hunter and he will leave tomorrow, he still subconsciously sorts out the information and analyzes the clues as a professional quality. Sometimes he can find job opportunities from certain clues. For the horse's fodder money and his own bread money, he always has to seize the opportunity, just like he is noticing a strange soldier, his expression is nervous, although it is hidden. It's very good, but it still can't hide from Zelin's observation. It’s strange that the soldiers here are very relaxed. He even heard snoring from a tower not far away. Some soldiers drank and slept during the day, even in Bruno and Verden’s army. The behavior of the whip, but why is this soldier nervous.

Nervous, either is doing something to worry about being discovered, or something is about to be discovered.

"Where is the real hotel?" Zelin asked casually to the female store manager beside him, Angelina's appearance was pretty good, and she was indeed a good chat partner. He had learned from the chat along the way. Less about things here.

"Oh, traveler, do you like going to a brothel very much?"

"Uh, okay." The demon hunter shook his head. Sure enough, in certain things and occupations, different worlds are still the same. "Is it here?" Zelin raised his head, and a beautiful manor stood in front of him. , An old janitor at the door clearly knew Angelina and greeted her. Not only the janitor, but the man who should be called Ezio Auditore was also there. Zelin had a rare opportunity to observe the few people in the town who had iron coats up close. His clothes didn't feel like they would appear on the battlefield to the demon hunters, but rather like decorative clothes. Of course, there may be other uses, but Zelin himself cannot understand it.

The demon hunter put down the flowers and handed them to the janitor. As a stranger, he certainly cannot go to the manor. No one can allow an outsider to go to his home, especially if the outsider has a deadly weapon on his body.

"Are you planning to find a job and live here?" Ezio asked.

"Of course not." Zelin shook his head, leaning against the stone fence next to the steps with his hands on his chest. "It's just a job in exchange for accommodation. It's rare to come to this peaceful town. Why should I go to sleep outside? The haystacks. Although I have noticed that there are many haystacks here, I don't want to experience the smell of hay all over the collar and cuffs of my collar when I wake up." He shrugged. "

"I suggest you don't lie in the haystack, otherwise you may be hit." Ezio said something mysterious. "I see what you have been carrying on your back. These are two swords?" Maybe it's curiosity. Perhaps he was cautious, but he still asked the question "Why should I bring two swords?"

"Yes, two swords have their own uses. Sometimes I can't just use one sword. When I encounter this sword cannot be used, I will switch to the other to fight." Zelin has a kind of indifferent Said in his tone. He was surprised. It stands to reason that the man in front of him should be honored as a baron. He has his own manor and town. Demon hunters have seen many people similar to him. Those people will only send their housekeepers out and tell Zelin here. Who is calling the shots, who is listening, and so on.

Then Zelin would nod his head constantly, otherwise people would start rumors that demon hunters are the incarnation of monsters, a product of darkness, like to attack humans, mean, and totally unable to coexist peacefully. But today he saw a lot of people, but he didn't need to strain his neck too much.

"Worry about another sword being damaged in battle? Two swords are a good idea. Are you a mercenary? If you are looking for a job, I recommend you to find Bartolomeo outside Rome. He is my friend, too A good captain" Before leaving, Ezio did not forget to recommend his mercenary captain friend.

"Maybe I will go" Zelin responded ambiguously. He is not in a hurry to make money now. The food is enough to last for a month. The wild in this world is very safe. He has not seen monsters or even heard the wolf howls. It is so safe that there is no need to worry about herbs, potions, decoctions, and swords. Whether the oil and the like will be used up, if he knew this would be the case before he came, he would rather come with all the food, and then spend two months of leisure time.

Of course, the top priority now is to get a good night's sleep, let his spirit adapt to the changing time, and then consider the next move.

I hope no one will bother him tonight.

Chapter 156 This is an air attack! Not a drill!

When the sun went down, the town quickly slid into tranquility and serenity.

The quiet night is always so likable, there will be no howling of wolves, no neighing of monsters, no worries about pterodactyls appearing in the sky, evil spirits in underground caves, tomb witches of seekers, or thinking of you as you For food-foraging wolves, you can rest assured to sleep on a comfortable bed. Demon hunters use meditation instead of sleep most of the time, but meditation cannot have the same effect as sleep. Now, he can have a clean and warm bed, a safe town, especially after experiencing Yanan, he suddenly feels that this is pretty good

The two swords were placed by the bed, within reach, where he felt enough kindness, but the necessary vigilance was still indispensable.

Maybe after he leaves here, he can test the effect of the resonance bell. The demon hunter didn't want other warlocks to know the existence of the resonance bell, just in case he didn't even want to use it in his own world. The Order of Warlocks is always paying attention to Mahakam's portal. There are messengers and eyeliners of the Order everywhere. Zelin has no doubt that compared with the Redanian informant organization, the source of the Order is not bad.

Warlocks, they created the demon hunter and destroyed the demon hunter. If it weren’t for the support of warlocks, how could a group of ordinary people’s zealots break through the presence of more than one hundred demon hunters and possess the most complete defensive facilities. In the old sayings, it is known as the ancient sea fortress of Kal Amu Erahan. Defense. Yes, as the sorcerer Istride said, those witch doctors, herbalists, fortune-tellers, and a group of third-rate untouchables actually use noble magic, but he didn’t say one, don’t need to say, the demon hunter and All warlocks knew that they also didn't like the demon hunters who would make use of the seal, and even less liked the demon hunters academy that almost became an organization with hundreds of members.

Of course, this is all history, and complaining is meaningless. Zelin's top priority is to establish a new academy and pass on the knowledge of the Demon Hunter, otherwise the rest is just empty talk.

But this is a different world, and it is impossible for the eyes of the warlocks to notice this. Many things that you don't want the Warlock Order to know can be tested here, such as this resonance bell. If Alfred is right, Zelin can use this resonance bell to meet Dr. Yusevka in Yanan. In any case, the demon hunter was still worried about the survivors in Ulton Chapel.

With these thoughts in mind, he quickly fell into a deep sleep. He slept comfortably for about six hours, until the roar of cannons outside woke him from his sleep. During this period, there was also the sound of running, commands and marching in the queue. The demon hunter turned over and yawned, and the sky outside was faintly bright. The curtains block the sunlight, reflecting a dim and comfortable atmosphere in the room.

Zelin should have gotten up early, but the physical energy consumed by crossing the portal and walking for several hours made him intend to sleep for a while. The sound of artillery fire is exactly the same as yesterday’s training. Unfortunately, the curtains can only block the early morning light, and cannot cut off the noise outside. But listening to the sound, the demon hunter will not even doubt whether he is on the front line of Sutton Mountain, where the fighting is the most intense. Only the spells released by the sorcerers collectively can have the same effect as when the cannon fired. Since the last time in Yanan, he saw such weapons that produce fire effects, Zelin has always been interested in them.

He thought that he would be woken up by the female store manager and the servant, but he never thought that he would be woken up by the gunfire. It was still early in the morning, and before breakfast, the army outside actually started a day of training. This level of training was only seen in the special troops directly under the king. It seems that the baron here is very strict with his subordinates, but the demon hunter doesn't want this kind of strictness to fall on him.

But the bursts of gunfire outside really prevented him from falling asleep again. He sat up and touched his black jacket and griffin leather armor. Maybe this is a good opportunity to observe the artillery, find a place to hide from a distance, and make them think that their eyes are not good, and they can't see things in the distance. But when they might begin to understand something, Zelin had already read the principles of how they operate the artillery and weapons.

Suddenly, there was a harsh shelling sound, and Zelin instantly thought of the sound of Liu Shi he heard when he was fighting the robber. It's dangerous. This intuition has always been good. Zelin believes in intuition, so he subconsciously pulled the two swords tied together and made a standard demon hunter rollover---turning sideways and Kunen's seal.

At that moment, the peace and harmony in the room disappeared. The windows burst open, and together with the surrounding stone walls, they slammed into the room. A steaming iron pill appeared in the room and the surrounding furniture. And the bed was smashed into pieces, and many splashes of sawdust and rubble were like raindrops and smashed onto the round Kunen's seal outside the demon hunter.

"Damn... it's not like a necessary training item." Zelin carried two swords on his back. As for the cloth bag full of necessities, he didn't know where he flew under the shelling. The food and potions in poor poor, as well as those dozens of coins, just vanished. He originally thought that these two months could be spent easily, but now it seems that in terms of daily necessities, it is estimated that it will not be much easier than in Yanan.

Using Alderfayin to blast away the gravel blocking the door, Zelin didn’t have time to see how many useful things were left in the bag. The gain is not worth the loss. He kicked off the wooden door stuck in the door rail and rushed to the stairs. The gap opened by the artillery can indeed allow a person to go out, but this is the second floor. If there is no slope, he can roll over and relieve the gravity. Falling and hurting the leg. In a chaotic situation, hurting your leg is not a good condition

Just as he pushed open the door to the house, another shell hit the roof of the building next to the hotel, and the splashed rubble even flew several meters away. When he came to the street, chaos had covered the entire town.
