The Journey of the Demon Hunter

For Thousand Red Roses, Zelin was not as worried as Claudia did. The mercenaries of Bartolomeo and some of the assassins of the Brotherhood are near the brothel. The mercenaries will not hide themselves, but the assassins, they think they hide well, but the demon hunters can still notice them.

There is about a month left, but the time in Rome is definitely less than 30 days. The Brotherhood of Ezio is stepping up its offensive against the Poggia family. They are stealing Rome. Maybe Zelin can do something more meaningful before leaving. He doesn't know if he will come back, Fran. Siska explained to him that the law of the portal is related to the astrology, just like a disc clock. When two different times travel in a circle to reach the same position, the portal can take him to the world he once reached.

But he didn't know how long it would take. Before that, why would he not promote the latest gambling methods to other parts of the city when the Brotherhood gradually controlled Rome? After all, Zelin had long seen that if he wanted to do this, the only way was for the Brotherhood to gain an advantage in this war. At least he did not see the possibility of cooperating with the Pokia family, and he was even more reluctant to cooperate Robber cooperation.

PS: I can’t stay up late with a headache today, so the second one is more likely to be made up tomorrow morning. Well, that's it.

Chapter 183 The Banker

"Seriously, I have always been curious about why you are so obsessed with this kind of thing."

Zelin was holding a knife in his hand.

"Why ask?"

The demon hunter’s knife swung lightly, and the sharp knife didn’t even make any sound. The weed-like beard on the side of the cheek was cut into two pieces. Eventually floated to the ground.

"Of course I am curious before asking."

Ezio puts down the bill provided by the Thieves Guild. "You have a wealth of experience and superb fighting skills. Many people will be willing to hire you as their soldier. The Pokia family is estimated to be able to pay at least 700 dollars for your abilities. A special price."

"Are you suggesting that I am asking you too little?"

Knocked the knife on the table, and rubbed his finger neatly on it. Zelin wanted a razor, but found that the world did not have the razor he said, so he had to use a sharper small dagger. "I don't mind asking you for another seven hundred ducats."

There are no monsters in this world, and Zelin cannot have his own knowledge and ability to be entrusted to earn gold. Of course he can stay in Rome for two months without doing anything, and then leave. No matter what happens here, it has nothing to do with him, but Zelin’s vitality for more than a hundred years, there is not much to stop and rest when he walks around. Try your luck. Even now, he doesn't need to rely on the demon hunting commission to support himself, but he still subconsciously finds something for himself to do.

He worked more than an ordinary person's life, and it was already difficult for him to go back to the idle time, especially when there was an academy on his shoulders.

Ezio is the leader of the Brotherhood, at least from Zelin's point of view, although what he does is not like what a leader would do. Ezio recruits members, expresses his thoughts like dissatisfied citizens, trains newcomers, contacts banks, assassinates enemies, inquires about news, destroys towers, and acquires real estate. I really doubt that one day his subordinates will come and tell him that the roof of the next stronghold is broken.

How come there are generals who run errands everywhere!

"Oh, of course not, please, the Brotherhood’s money is very tight. We have a big gap in gold with the Pokia family. Even I now have to take into account the Brotherhood’s funds while considering how to earn my money. Lunch." Ezio closed the ledger. "Thank you for your help on the Thousand Red Roses last time."

"That's not troublesome." Zelin shrugged and put the dagger back on its original position on the table. Sulani, the original owner of Qianhong Rose, is indeed connected with the Pogia family. She not only makes money from the Brotherhood, but also makes money from the Pogia family. It took Claudia all night to find out what was wrong with the bill. The gold from the Pokia family was no less than the gold invested by the Brotherhood.

Not only Surani, but there are many girls in the Thousand Red Roses who are connected to the Pokiah family. Perhaps because the Brotherhood’s operations in Rome are difficult, they can hardly earn enough gold coins. As a result, Pokiah’s Gold easily made them fall to the other side.

"Machiavelli knows how to defeat the Pogia family politically, but that is not enough." Ezio stood up. "Gold can make Surani betray the Brotherhood, and it can also make more fights for money. Of people choose to join the Pokia family. We can hardly weaken their power if this goes on."

"Listen to your ears." Zelin wiped his neck with a clean cloth dipped in water. Ezio wants to revive the Brotherhood, and the difficulties he will encounter will never be less than Zelin's rebuilding of the Academy. When the academy is truly established, Zelin will face the dwarf elder Hogg of Mahakhan, King Foltest of Temaria, or power from other places. After all, Mahakhan is nominally It belongs to the territory of the Kingdom of Tamoria, and Zelin wanted to establish the Demon Hunter Academy. After all, only a few members of the Warlock Order expressed their support.

Now, there are warlocks supporting him, and the relationship between the kings and the warlocks is obviously good, especially after the Battle of Sutton Hill, the warlocks of the order have served in the king’s court, and every local city has a resident warlock. Responsible for maintaining local transmission nodes and information transmission. The application of magic began to spread in the north, using chaotic energy to stop the torrential rain that destroyed farmland, and prepare for a calm day for fishermen going out to fish. At least before the kings and the warlocks have any unhappiness, Zelin need not worry about encountering too much resistance from outside the warlocks, but who knows how long this wonderful prospect will last.

"So we have to start from the gold side, the banker of the Pogia family." Ezio said his purpose directly. "The plan is very simple. When I go to solve the banker, Claudia and her girl We will take the opportunity to transfer the gold of the Pokya family to Qianhong Rose. I am very worried about the safety of her and those girls. She needs a good hand with a sword."

"Let's talk about compensation."

Zelin’s troubles are almost all hypothetical. As long as the Warlock Order is still there, he shouldn’t encounter too many problems, but Ezio is different. He almost supported the entire Brotherhood of Rome by himself. Fighting in the heart of the country, there are enemies everywhere. Porgia is not an imaginary enemy. There are also their allies, the special envoy of the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian and the special envoy of the Spanish King Ferdinand, as well as an army from France. Him. Although Zelin couldn't understand these countries and what kind of power the emperor had, he could still hear one thing-the allies of the Pogia family were everywhere, and Ezio could only rely on himself.

Maybe sooner or later, Zelin will encounter the same problem. The emperor, king, or anything else will become his enemies to revive the Demon Hunter Academy, and he can only rely on himself and a few friends. He didn't want this day, but Ezio did show him some kind of future.

"How about a hundred ducats?" Ezio gave this answer after thinking about it.

"No problem. When, where, who do you want to see?" Zelin shrugged, two long swords and crossbow lying in the corner. The silver sword has not been out of its sheath for a long time.

"Wait for me in the square outside the Pantheon in Rome. I will be with a member of Parliament. We will find a way to enter the banker's villa after we get to the place."

"I thought I would be with Claudia and the others."

"No, Claudia and the others have their own method of entry, and it is a method that only they can use." Ezio paused. "Tomorrow night, the bankers of the Poggia family will hold a big banquet. Qianhong Rose employs more than 30 prostitutes, and Claudia's people will get in there."

"He is really rich."

"Of course, get ready, we will meet outside the square tomorrow afternoon."

Chapter 184 Time is Money

In the narrow small square, the Pantheon rose from the ground, and the bright style swept the gloom of the square.

The tall columns of the portico of Asius support this weather-beaten ancient building. This was once the habitat of the gods until it was transformed into a huge church, which made it appear taller, especially with the surrounding low paving. In the shadow of half a square, three people were waiting in the most inconspicuous corner.

"Hi, is he your friend?"

A congressman with his stomach straight and looking a little fat asked Ezio. He pointed to the demon hunter "He doesn't look like a capable person at all."

"So never judge people by their appearance. Mr. Senator." Ezio didn't introduce Zelin to the Senator, and he didn't think it made any sense to introduce him or not. From this point, Zelin can draw a piece of news --- the old man who is blessed in front of him is not a member of the Brotherhood. Although the other party's beard is neatly hung and the white hair is neatly trimmed, he still can't conceal the despair on his face, "Get ready to act."

Ezio’s actions were simple. He found the unlucky congressman who owed the Poggia family a debt of three and five thousand dollars, and then told him that the Brotherhood would help him pay off the debt.

"Okay, okay." The congressman's brows collapsed, and his optimism with a strong fighting spirit was poked like a balloon. "What do you do, will you be with me then?"

Ezio shook his head, "It's not good for you to go with two people."

"It's okay. I can go there." Zelin touched the box on the ground with his boots and made a muffled sound. "This thing is very heavy. If someone helps to move it, it won't arouse suspicion." The demon hunter glanced at it. At the entrance of the Pantheon, there were three soldiers of the Pokiah family. One of them was holding a halberd. The other was a symbolic decorative armor dressed as an official. "Who knows what they will do when they get the money, I I don’t think they will let this gentleman well."

"He's right, I need someone to protect me." The congressman quickly suggested to Ezio, "You certainly don't want to see my body being thrown in the square. Caesar's people are not kind."

"...Don't make them suspicious, Pokia's payee can take us to the banker's house. But don't make them suspicious."

"Don't worry, I can't go wrong."

Ezio retreated to a cedar tree near the square and waited. The congressman coughed slightly, put away the panic expression he had just now, and put on a calm look. Zelin picked up the box containing thousands of coins. It's heavy, but it's still accepting. Walk to the square with the hapless congressman.

"I should have had a drink before the action."

"Drinking mistakes."

"But I really want to have a drink, so be bold." The congressman shivered suddenly. "Young man, your strength is really good."

The demon hunter shrugged and said nothing. The congressman who was close to his many years old didn't know that Zelin's age could be his grandfather.

The first one to see came to pay off the debt was the tall guard. His shoulders are embroidered with gold as the background, decorated with red bulls, and the other half is a badge with black and white lines. He shook the weapon in his hand at the councillor and at the same time informed his two colleagues

"Good afternoon, Ekidio." The soldier greeted the congressman like an old friend. "It seems that you are ready to die decently. Tell me about the funeral, and then we will do it."

"It's too unfriendly for you to be like this." He looked at the official who was obviously working for the Poggia family. "Luigi, Luigi Torricelli, we know each other. I think you should still be in the bank." Do things at home, I thought you would have been sitting in your own room and let others work for you."

"Shut up." The thin man yelled feebly, as if he hadn't woken up. But it is only two words, and it seems that they are not willing to waste an extra second on Members. He waved to the soldiers around, "Send him away."

"Hey! Wait, wait! I have raised the money." The congressman pointed to the box Zelin was holding, "The money and interest are all in it. A lot of money."

The skinny Luigi's eyes lit up and he swept away the clouds on his face. "It's great! My master will be very happy! He has other plans tonight, and the money will definitely satisfy him. It shouldn't be too late, fast." Give it to me. I want to deliver the money personally to his residence. I must hurry. Time is money! My friend. Give it to me."

Zelin handed the box to the man called Luigi.

"You, look after him, wait for me to come back!" After that, Luigi walked into the empty cathedral behind him.

"Hi! You can't do this! I have paid the money, why don't you let me go!" The councillor protested angrily.
