Chapter one hundred and seventy-four, witcher Abel
Ryan and Olika looked at each other and there was a bit of a weird thing about him, but it wouldn't be so weird if he was just a microphone or came to take on the task...Pinshu.com
"Master, you'd better go and take a look. It's okay for me." The dark spirit said weakly. She just broke her body last night and is unable to move now. Besides, this guy, Garyn, didn't stop at the beginning. Olika was so soft that she didn't want to move.
"Tell the witch hunter and let him wait a moment, I'll see him in a while!" Ryan shouted outside the 'door'.
"I understand, my baron." Katzenberg stepped down.
Ryan gently hugged the shy dark spirit and blew on her pointed ears inlaid with gold rings: "You can rest here today, you don't need to do anything."
"Master~" Olika leaned against his shoulder, her face full of flushing. Unlike what she imagined, she was very shy, and it was all about Ryan's guidance. Fortunately, she had the bonus of racial talent, which barely made Ryan eat half full.
"I'll go out to see what happened first, and wait and come back to accompany you." Ryan gently patted Olika on the shoulder and helped her lie down.
"Master, wait." The dark spirit raised his head and gently kissed Ryan's lips.
Ryan hugged her again.
After a two-minute long "kiss", the Baron nodded, asked her to lie down, and then left the master's room.
After seeing Ryan leave, Olika first shyly used the quilt to cover herself, and maintained this state for a while before recovering from her shy situation.
She remembered the warning of the Lake Fairy’s “Girl”: Be a “Girl” servant for my champion, otherwise your destiny will be destroyed.
Her body was soft and numb, as if she was being sucked off her bones. This feeling made Olika unable to stop her, but the dark spirit still tried to mobilize the magic power of her body.
Sure enough! The soul, which was originally like dead silence, could finally feel the magic wind again. Olika gathered all the magic power "borrowed" from Ryan. The dark spirit chanted an ancient spell, and the power of dark magic finally appeared.
"Staff of Eth, listen to my command."
With the efforts of the Dark Spirit, a long-handled staff with a blood ruby inlaid with a navy blue color appeared in front of Olika. After calling out this staff, the Dark Spirit had used most of its magic power.
And when Olika tried hard to reach out her hand to hold the staff, the staff suddenly became unstable.
"Not good!" Olika quickly grabbed the staff, and then she condensed all the remaining magic power and quickly carved a thread-shaped purple "color" sparse mark on her lower abdomen. This process seemed very painful. At least during the printing process, the dark "element" spirit's forehead was covered with sweat, and almost bit her lips.
Fortunately, the spell seal was successfully completed and the staff disappeared into the air. Olika softened like exhaustion. The dark spirit gently stroked the spell seal on his lower abdomen with a tired look on his face, and let out a satisfying sigh.
"With this, I will only belong to the master from now on."
"Kaladrean, I will definitely make you repay your hatred ten times!"
…………
The witcher Aber is waiting in the Baron's castle.
Even though he looks over thirty, anyone familiar with him knows that this witch hunter is actually no longer young. His real age is already close to the sixty mark. A year ago, because of some encounters, Abel finally advanced to the passing level. However, it is not that simple to become a demon hunter. With an unstable state, he still needs enough qualifications to prove that he is a true demon hunter.
So he left the empire and came to Britania for travel. At the same time, he also wanted to find a beautiful witch, whose name was Jerena. She had a wonderful encounter with him, but due to the special "sex" of the two people's work, they eventually separated. A female witch told him that Jerena went to the south of Britania to open a shop.
This may be the main reason why he came to Brittania.
The Empire and Brittania have always maintained a subtle alliance. When facing any alien or even alien enemies, the two human countries are undoubtedly firm allies. However, the trade frictions and various disputes within the two countries have never stopped. Especially in recent times, the relationship between Casfann and the Empire has gradually deteriorated. The stubborn Duke Casfann believes that the imperial people should pay more tariffs, while the Empire believes that Casfann’s demands are too unreasonable.
Under the leadership of the new emperor Carl Franz, the imperial court was unprecedentedly tough.
This forced the witch to choose to go to sea and land. He first arrived at Marinburg, and then arrived at the Principality of Poldro by boat. The expensive ship fee almost squeezed out the last gold coin from him. He had to stay in the Principality of Poldro and completed several reward tasks in a row, which made him appreciated by Boderick, Duke of Poldro. The Duke who returned to the territory received him and handed him a letter, asking him to hand over it to Baron Gene Ryan Marcado.
The witch hunter has never been rich, and is considered a master of demon hunting. It is difficult for a year to earn a hundred gold coins. The nobles are afraid of the witch hunter, afraid that they will pick up all kinds of disgraceful things of their own. The civilians are afraid of the witch hunter, and they are afraid that the witch hunter will turn the entire village into ashes because some of their people are corrupted.
Therefore, the main source of income for the witch hunter is almost entirely the capture of various commissions and combat adventures. Many witch hunters live a life of "dew" staying in the wind. No one will welcome them to stay for a long time, and no one will welcome them to search from house to door. It is just that the witch hunter can help them eliminate monsters and deal with some powerful creatures that cannot be fought against, so they will tolerate the existence of witch hunters.
After arriving at Baron Gene, Abel felt something different. The atmosphere here was quiet and peaceful. This might be the power of the Holy Grail Knight?
The name of the Holy Grail Knight resounded throughout the old world, and the story of Ryan Makado was compiled into countless poems and praised by the poets. The people of "Ying" spread his name widely.
More importantly, the Holy Grail Knight does not discriminate against the witch hunter, which is like a treasure for the witch hunter.
After waiting for a while, the Baron finally appeared and could tell that he was in a good mood: "Mr. Aber? I remember you, when you passed by Otro as a witch hunter, I was still a child."
"Please don't say that, Mr. Ryan." Abel quickly shook his head and said that he did not dare to regard himself as a predecessor.
Abel knew very well what the social status of the Holy Grail Knight and what the social status of the witch hunter.
"So you came to Baron Gene this time because?" Ryan continued.
Aber told his experience, and at the same time he sent a letter: "This is the letter entrusted by the Duke of Poulderro to me to 'should' you, and now I will 'should' you 'handed' it, my baron."
"Well, I received it." Ryan took the letter and checked that there was no problem with the wax seal, so he nodded and signaled that he had received it: "Are you planning to stay here?"
"Yes, my baron, there are some tasks on the notice board. I plan to complete it. Mr. Katzenberg has already instructed me some key matters." Abel quickly took out a notice, which was commissioned by the lord. Recently, a blood-sucking creature appeared in the forest near the town of Gene to attack passers-by, so the housekeeper Katzenberg issued a task, hoping that someone could solve this problem.
As a lord, Ryan himself is no longer convenient to come forward to solve this problem in person. At this time, it is ideal to send his own knight or issue a notice to find someone to complete the work.
"Can you tell me what that is?" Ryan asked calmly.
"That may be the lower creature created by the head bat-winged demon, the vampire, or the vampire 'female'." Abel nodded: "I need to make some 'pharmaceutical' to deal with it. If things go well, I can complete this task without more than three days."
"Well, it's great. If you can complete your task, I will pay the reward in full."
In front of the witch hunter, Ryan opened the envelope of Duke Bordro.
Nothing particularly big has happened. On the third Sunday of October, Duke of ‘Pouldero’ Boderick intends to hold a grand party in his castle to invite Ryan to attend.
After thinking about his itinerary for a while, the Baron felt that it was not a big problem. He also felt that it was time to participate in more social activities, which would be beneficial to broadening his connections. More importantly, Duke Pouldero commanded more than 80% of the navy in Brittania. Some things Ryan might need his help.
"Mr. Aber, is the situation in the Witch Hunter Guild recently?" Ryan stood up, and the Baron was in a good mood: "If you don't mind, we might be able to walk together?"
"Of course, my baron."
The Holy Grail Knight walked together with the witcher in the late autumn town. The appearance of the Baron was widely loved by the citizens, but the fearful witcher made the citizens wary that they could not understand why the noble Holy Grail Knight would walk with a witcher.
The sky in the distance was clear and cloudless. Walking on the streets of stone pavement, Ryan watched the residents prepare before winter. Many people were chopping wood and some were fetching water. Since Ryan built a clean canal to connect the Shinon River and the town of Jean, the sanitation of the town has greatly alleviated, and the lord even ordered that ban urination and defecation in the town.
"You come from the Empire, Mr. Abel, can you tell me what happened in the Empire recently?" Ryan asked Abel casually: "The news here is a bit blocked, especially since I just participated in a war."
"The situation is not very good recently. My Baron, the kingdom of Nord has been revolting. Do you still remember the northern barbarian invasion a year ago?" Abel's white hair fluttered in the autumn wind: "Although Baron, you repel that invasion, the subsequent influence has not disappeared. It is said that in places where the barbarian army has been ravaged, the dark and evil faith spread everywhere, and the uprisings are repeated again and again, and Nord is now very weak."
"...I understand, then what about His Majesty Franz, our empire emperor? What are his actions?" Ryan continued.
"His Majesty the Emperor was being hurt by the dispute between Hawke and Ostmark. There was even a civil war between the two Electors. Before His Majesty sent a special envoy to mediate, hundreds of people died in a fight." Eber continued: "Also, Manfred, the Elector of Walrich, died in battle when he cleared the brass fortress in the Yangshan Mountains. His son Boris Todd Blinger, succeeded the Elector of the Elector in front of Maras, the Archbishop of the White Wolf Temple in White Wolf City. He vowed to clear all the orcs and 'mixed' chaotic creatures in Walrich."
"Another electoral who died in battle." Ryan sighed softly. The empire's territory was very large. There were a large number of green skins hidden in countless black forests, mountains, and fields. The orc tribes and many terrifying "mixed" chaos creatures. The lords always fought for the security built into the territory.
There is a brass fortress hidden in the mountains of the Emperor. This fortress is almost a refuge for the entire "hum" Chaos forces in the empire. The empire tried to destroy them many times, but the troops that went to attack the brass fortress never came back.
"Is there any new news?" "Spend some time to digest the existing content, Ryan continued.
"There are only so many for the time being, my baron." Eber hesitated for a while before saying to Ryan: "My baron, can I find out some news?"
"You say, Mr. Aber, we met when I was a kid." Ryan spread his hands and signaled that the witch hunter should not be so polite: "I will answer questions within my ability."
"I'm looking for a 'female' witch, who has fiery red hair and tough face, amber-colored eyes, her name is Jerena, and I am friends with her. It is said that she came to the south of Brittania two years ago, but I don't know where she is going. I need to find her if I have something to do." Abel said hesitantly, the witch hunter looked very entangled.
"Jerina? I haven't heard of such a name, but maybe we can meet the 'female' witch you call in one place." Ryan thought for a moment and felt that he hadn't heard of the name. The Holy Grail Knight raised the letter: "Boderick, Duke of Bordro, will hold a grand banquet in two weeks, and a large number of noble gentlemen and ladies from nearby countries will participate. Maybe you can find out more at the banquet."
"Then how can I participate in this banquet? My Baron?" Abel knew that the time was coming to negotiate the terms, and it was difficult to participate in the banquet of such a great noble as his witch hunter, unless Ryan was willing to lend a helping hand.
"There is no free lunch in the world, Mr. Abel." Ryan's mouth curled up: "I will not only pay you for the task of completing the notice, but also take you to this banquet."
"Then my baron, as you told me." Abbot nodded, and the witch hunter happily accepted the condition.
After a long journey, the Baron and the witch hunter had already arrived at the edge of the town. Just so happened that he saw Carsonberg walking into his town with a group of "spirits".
He is his old friend, half-ethic spirit Estel, and a group of wood ethic spirits!
The Wood Spirit came to him to pay off his debts.
