Chapter 30 The Sponsor of the Witcher
Meanwhile, the Temple of Campas.
The demon hunter Gangze, who had just been cheated by his disciples, was sitting in a straight face with Pastor Richard, who was in charge of the temple.
As a few church organizations that get along well with the Demon Hunter, the priest of the God of War Campas won the respect of the Demon Hunter with his own courage and his many cooperations on the front line of the Chaos Occupation Zone.
The head of Campas Temple in Anthony Harbor, Pastor Richard, once acted with the demon hunter Gangze, to successfully prevent the chaos coming crisis on the border of the old road.
"My Lord, the God of War, protects every warrior who dares to fight. The little guy you sent is no big deal. You can recover after a while." The sturdy Pastor Richard, who is not like a clergyman, but more like a warrior, said to the Demon Hunter.
After thanking his old friend, the demon hunter Gangze bowed his head to pay tribute like a statue of the God of War, and at the same time put down several gems of the elves as donations.
Then he said with regret: "Thank you very much for your help, old friend. But I'm here today not for this. I think you should have noticed that the door to chaos has been opened in the black forest outside the city. This time I couldn't stop it from happening. It won't take long for the chaotic demons that flocked to the black forest. I'm afraid that it won't last long with the power of this city."
Pastor Richard patted his old friend's shoulder: "My Lord has descended the oracle, and a group of paladins are on the way to support him, but I don't know if it's time to come. This failure should not be blamed on you. The behavior of the Chenxi Church has been reported and recorded. All organizations that have signed the fire transmission agreement will send representatives to question the Chenxi Church's actions this time. However, this place is not the sphere of influence of the church, and it has many connections with the New World. I don't think there will be any result."
Gangze, the demon hunter, sighed: "The knights of the Lord of the Dawn are still so proud and unrestrained. The black and white worldview is like a child. I will go to Kelmohan to make an opinion. The demon hunter will never act with them again, it is a nightmare."
The corners of the priest Richard's mouth trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but the demon hunter interrupted him: "Richard, I need to meet the lord here. I brought goodwill from the elves. They hoped to form an alliance with the local lords and resist the invasion of chaos together. But the nobles here rejected me, and I did not send a message to the lord here."
Pastor Richard smiled awkwardly: "The situation here is a bit special. The only heir of the Anthony family is underage, so it is currently Mr. Antoine, the butler of the Anthony family, who is managing the city on his behalf. Because of the old Earl Anthony's attitude towards the church, we have little relationship with the nobles in the city. Even this small temple was established after Antoine acted as the city lord. I think it's okay for you to talk to him."
The demon hunter frowned: "My feeling tells me what you are hiding. My hearing heard the perfunctory in your tone, Mr. Richard! Butler? When can a butler talk about alliances with other forces on behalf of the lord? Because of the local lord's attitude towards the church, are your position on the side of the traitor who wants to instigate the lord?"
The earliest members of the Demon Hunter Organization were composed of illegitimate children of nobles with outstanding physical fitness. Later, because the mortality rate of trials was high, they gradually accepted new members from all walks of life. Regardless of whether they were noble or not, they became Demon Hunter and had nothing to do with their previous life.
However, it is undeniable that the external funding of the Demon Hunter mainly comes from the aristocratic forces in the old and new continents. After all, unlike the major churches that have donated believers, the Mage Organization monopolizes the production of magical items and is not short of money at all. As a few warrior organizations that can be on par with these organizations, the Demon Hunter relies entirely on huge sponsorship fees every year.
These nobles provided funds like the Demon Hunter Organization, which has not been interrupted for hundreds of years, has allowed the Demon Hunter organization to grow and grow with such a high mortality rate. They also seemed to the Demon Hunter who promised to be convenient on their own land so that the Demon Hunter could concentrate on their work, drive out chaos, and maintain the living environment of human beings.
The only request of the nobles to pay so much is that the demon hunters need to protect the inheritance of the noble bloodline. Because the power system of this world, even the humblest slaves, has the opportunity to become extraordinary people with far superior power. However, the nobles cannot guarantee that every generation of their descendants can be as brave and good at fighting as their ancestors.
No noble lord hopes that the foundation he has built through hardships will be forced to be robbed by a strange extraordinary person when he gets old. The demon hunter is the protector hired by the nobles to maintain their orthodoxy.
The Demon Hunter Council made a promise that if every Demon Hunter traveling abroad receives help from the local lord, it will protect the lives and safety of the nobles, and intervene in the incident as a mediator to conduct public evidence. If the local nobles are indeed extorted or threatened by extraordinary people, the Demon Hunter will use force to protect the property of the local lord. However, if the situation is just the opposite, the Demon Hunter will conduct an open trial of the nobles.
For hundreds of years, demon hunters have been obeying the laws formulated by the nobles on their own land. No matter how absurd these laws are, as long as they have nothing to do with chaos, demon hunters will not interfere without authorization. Of course, from time to time, there will be some demon hunters with a strong sense of justice, because the local nobles' behavior is too excessive, they will see injustice, teach lessons or kill directly, and the noble alliance also turns a blind eye and pretends that it has never happened. In most cases, demon hunters will help local lords maintain territorial order to prevent chaos and give Chaos believers an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Over time, the nobles gradually paid enough protection fees every year to ensure that the demon hunters work normally. In addition, the demon hunters will also maintain the authority of the local lords during their work.
This is also the reason why Antoine was afraid when she heard that a demon hunter came to the city. Pastor Richard was because of the prejudice of the local lord family against the church power. The old Earl Anthony has always suppressed the church power. In contrast, in addition to being lustful and lustful, butler Antoine was his only choice to make friends with the church power for his own career.
