Woo Woo Woo ......"

"Bite, bite, bite...... His mother's!"

The tavern, called the "House of Noise", lived up to its name, and it was late at night, but as soon as the two entered the tavern, they felt a wave of heat, a cloudy smell, and a deafening shout.

In the center of the tavern, there is a group of drunks and men dressed in soldier clothes, watching the dogs in the circle tear each other and fight dogs.

"We were introduced by your brother, and we have a beef leg, six sausages, four oatcakes, two large pieces of venison, well, and four bowls of pork offal. Shi Yinghu didn't pay attention to the noisy crowd in the tavern, but walked to the counter with Finney and said so.

"Did Cont introduce you here?, he went out to collect the goods, how did he meet two adults, and how is he now?" the innkeeper, a woman in her forties, with slightly red skin and slightly wrinkled, asked with some concern, glancing at the weapons they were carrying.

He ...... Lost his horse and some cargo, but overall he was doing well, he was rescued by us and he didn't suffer any injuries. ”

"It's good if people are fine, it's good if people are fine. Wait a minute, two adults, I'll go and prepare food for you. Let's go to some hot bars first, are you shipwrecked?Do the two adults like to drink ale or apricot wine?" The man in front of him still had a lot of dried salt stains on his leather armor, so it was not difficult to guess what had happened to him before.

"Come to the two glasses of microphone bar, please warm it up for us. "If it were a normal day, Shi Yinghu might be interested in tasting the fruity apricot wine, but now, two large glasses of hot barley wine are more suitable for himself and Finney.

The proprietress was very quick with her hands and feet, and soon, two large cups of hot barley wine were served, this ale wine was obviously brewed by the peasant family themselves, very thin, thick and thick, and smelled of a down-to-earth wheat aroma, which instantly aroused people's appetite.

Shi Yinghu and Feeney each had a big glass, and they both raised their wine glasses and drank a few big sips, wine is food, especially hot wine, which forces the heat to live in the whole body.

While the two were drinking, the dog fighting competition in the center of the tavern was decided, and a huge old and ugly bulldog bit the belly of the other military dog and won the final victory.

"Dart, Dart! You're awesome!

It was not only the men who watched the game, there were even women and little girls in the tavern, the ugly bulldog that had just won was directly sent back to the villagers, and was held in the arms of a fat little girl who did not look as tall as a dog, she did not care about the blood, hugged the bulldog and kissed it, and the giant dog that was extremely vicious in the arena at this moment also completely restrained the previous terrifying arrogance, stretched out his tongue and licked the fat girl gently, and the tail behind his back shook gently.

"Those Scadians are stupid, Dart is the king of dogs here, the best fighting dogs here, they have been here for twelve years, they have never lost, they have to compete with Dart, what about military dogs, what about military dogs? They are no match for Dart in the Colosseum. On one side of the counter, a drunken man said as he drank his wine.

There is no special property here in Dog Town, but it is much richer than several nearby villages and towns, relying on the tradition of rich and breeding dog fighting here, the aristocracy of Ronalk loves dog fighting activities, and a grand dog fighting dog is often pressed to tens of thousands of bets, so the price of powerful fighting dogs has risen, and almost every resident of Dog Town has trained fighting dogs.

The residents of the villages and towns here are familiar with the scene in front of them, and Finney on Shi Yinghu's side also watched it with relish.

If it were a woman in peacetime, she might say how cruel and inhumane this kind of thing is.

However, in this era, no one will say anything more because of this, without domesticating and breeding fighting dogs, the men in the villages and towns will not go out to work and serve in the military, and the overall living standards of the villages and towns will decline, and the breeding of fighting dogs is the biggest pillar industry in dog towns.

And after several generations of training, most fighting dogs are no longer suitable for caregiving, they are fierce and bloodthirsty, just like the same people, some people are born warlike, this kind of dog as a pet dog to raise, but is suppressing their own nature, making them miserable.

Just like the sled dog husky as a normal pet dog, people are originally working dogs running on the snowfield, you raise it in temperate areas, and do not give it a channel to promote its strength, this kind of behavior, it is difficult to call it a love dog.

However, the fighting dog named Dart seems to be different from ordinary fighting dogs, it seems that it has been domesticated for many years since childhood, and has given birth to spirituality, and is usually not chained by people, so it sits next to the fat little girl, and she plays with herself, full of spoiling ...... If this is on Earth, this guy is afraid that he will be alienated into essence.

One of the soldiers took out a pistol and shot the military dog that was bitten in the lower abdomen.

"Hostess, come and clean up. ”

After setting up food for Shi Yinghu and Finney, the proprietress of the noisy house walked over, then gave the soldier some money, and then dragged the corpse of the military dog back to the back kitchen.

"The Scadians are really inhuman, that dog is obviously not badly injured. ”

"yes, yes, Dart didn't take a heavy breath!"

"It's just that they don't have humanity, otherwise how can they fight so hard? Officers don't treat soldiers as human beings, no matter how dangerous they are, they just give orders to rush. ”

"But I heard that the Scadians are also in trouble, too many people have died, and the cemetery is starting to be haunted, if it can't be solved, the Scadians will have to go back wherever they came from, otherwise the logistics and supplies will not be available. ”

"Well, I hope so, God bless Ronarke!"

At this time, Shi Yinghu was eating sausages and gulping down oatmeal on venison pieces, strictly speaking, Kate Bryan was a Scadian, and the Ancient Serpent's Fort also received financial assistance from the Duchy of Scadia, but the Ancient Serpent's Citadel, like many witcher schools, received financial sponsorship from several countries at the same time, and there was no employment or affiliation between the two sides.

There is not much meat in the sausage, but stuffed with garlic and onions, with these accompaniments, the taste of meat is even more sweet and sweet, and there are many tender pork livers and pork lungs in the pork offal soup, which are steaming and very enjoyable for hungry people.

"The Demon Hunter of the Ancient Serpent's Castle?" At this moment, an old man dressed in a black-gray tarpaulin robe sat down beside Shi Yinghu.

"I'm a professional with you, won't you invite me to a drink?" said the old man with a smile, and he wore two long swords at his waist.

"Boss, this person's wine today, I invited. ”

"Haha, generous young man. ”

"My name is Harveys, I've been here for a while before you, if you want to take a job, you can come to me, I have a few good jobs on my hands, and I'm very suitable for you to do. After ordering a glass of apricot wine, the old man in the black and gray tarpaulin said.

"Thank you, but not for now, my companion and I have no intention of accepting the commission for the time being. Shi Yinghu and Finney both ate quickly, and at this time they had eaten almost enough, and when they were full of wine and food, Shi Yinghu stood up, put down a gold coin, and asked the proprietress to arrange two best places for himself and Finney.

When he walked up to the second floor, Shi Yinghu looked back at the hustle and bustle, the hideous big dog, the old man who was tasting wine, he frowned slightly, and then entered his room under the call and guidance of the proprietress.

At night, Shi Yinghu untied his waist bag in the room, and took out seven gems of different colors and five gold coins, as well as some scattered miscellaneous items, which were all his belongings at present.

......

(The money is still enough to support me for a while, maybe I should live here for a while, practice martial arts to penetrate the dark energy around my body, and at the same time complete the summoning of the three-headed dog of hell.) Whether the White Bone Summoning system has completed the advanced necromantic summoning is equivalent to whether the Curse system has completed the subtle spirit dark vision and weakening, and whether the White Bone and Toxin system has completed the corpse explosion and quenching the poison dagger.

If you haven't completed these representative spells, it means that you are not a formal necromancer in your general cognition, but can only be a necromancer, so the necromancer is one price point and the necromancer is another price.

Even many demon hunting commissions, if you don't have enough qualifications, people won't give you the task at all.

Even if you don't count your own martial arts and swordsmanship, the vast majority of first-order necromancers are not Shi Yinghu's opponents with mutated skeletons, but Shi Yinghu himself can't always prove his level with actual combat.

Advanced qualifications represent a stepping stone, and after having this brick, others are interested in knowing your actual level.

Of course, directly summoning a mutated skeleton is also a way to prove the level of strength from the side, but it would be too stupid to use a killing move that could have been hidden as a signboard.

First, second, and third-order professional demon hunters, there is no absolute strength gap between each other, there is only a relative strength gap, not to mention the first, second, and third order, even if it is a strong third-order grandmaster level, it is enough to serve as an instructor and professor in the academy, and if it is shot in the head, it is also a dead word.

The difference is that no matter which profession the strong third-order grandmaster is, he is basically experienced in a hundred battles, and it is difficult to be shot in the head with one shot, and it is also possible for a first-order professional to kill a third-order professional, but the probability of a first-order professional killing a third-order professional is twenty percent, and the probability of being killed is eighty percent, and this is still a case where the low-level person has the advantage of being the first-mover.

Necromancer apprentices who can't summon clay stone demons, without counting the equipment of demonized items, skeleton resurgence can be cultivated to level five at most, and can only summon three skeleton warriors, and the strength of his skeleton warrior may be stronger than that of the first-order necromancer skeleton warrior, but the first-order necromancer can summon clay stone demons, and it is not too difficult for a clay stone demon to fight one or two skeleton warriors.

This is a clear manifestation of the disparity in strength.

Not to mention the difference in the strength of professionals of different ranks, even between professionals of the same rank, there is also a gap in ability.

The necromancer who has just entered the first order of the white bone summoning system cannot master the two major spells of reviving the skeleton mage and dominating the stone demon, while the former can provide the necromancer with long-range output ability, and the latter can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the stone demon summoning.

Therefore, the rank classification is of great significance, although the battle process is ever-changing, it is possible that a necromancer apprentice suddenly pulls out a revolver in the middle of the battle and kills the "defenseless" first-order necromancer on the opposite side, but in most cases, after all, it is the stronger and higher-ranking professional who firmly occupies the relative combat advantage.

If someone can make a statistical table, I am afraid that they will find that the winning rate of low-level professionals challenging high-level professionals is terrifyingly low, and in the real world, there is only one human life after all.

Therefore, in social relations, it is almost impossible for low-level professionals not to fear and not fear high-level professionals. The social status of the two sides is also very different.

Early the next morning.

After a night of repairing, Shi Yinghu only felt as if he had been reborn, and his body was so full of energy that it seemed that it might overflow at any time, making him want to punch the wall and vent a little.

The sister of the young merchant Kante, the proprietress of the tavern, did give Shi Yinghu and Feeney a discount in addition to their normal service.

The bed that Shi Yinghu slept on last night was soft and comfortable, and with the fresh smell of sun exposure, which obviously could not be the treatment that most guests had, of course, it was probably because Shi Yinghu's tip was really generous enough.

Dressed in good clothes, today I plan to go out and buy some change of clothes, polish the sword, apply maintenance sword oil, and if you can, buy some raw materials for making potions, Shi Yinghu memorized the classic/generic potion prescriptions from Mr. Akles, the professor of pharmacy in the ancient snake castle, is not just one or two.

High-end elixirs like requiem potions are difficult to make because there are very few people in demand, and prescriptions like recovery potions, magic potions, explosive potions, and antidote potions, because there are many needs and many dos, the difficulty of refining is really not that high, and the most difficult thing is micro-manipulation, and for Shi Yinghu, this difficulty is really not a difficulty for him.

Shi Yinghu opened the door, but as soon as he walked down the aisle, he was met by the tavern proprietress with an officer wearing a Scadia military uniform.

Through the attitudes of the two people opposite, Shi Yinghu knew that they were coming to find him.

(Ha, I'm afraid I was sold by the old man last night.) Such a thought flashed through his mind, but Shi Yinghu still opened the door and calmly ushered the Scadia officer into his room.

"Hello, my name is Bandart, and I am the local resident defense officer, and I have received information from Mr. Harvey that there is an excellent demon hunter in the local area, so I came to visit. The Scadia officer was very polite, and after entering the room, he took the initiative to stretch out his palm, and only after Shi Yinghu shook hands with him did he say this.

"Direct physical contact with the same necromancer...... I suggest you don't show kindness like this next time, necromancers have been fighting demons with corpses for a long time, even if we have no malicious intentions, but sometimes our bodies will be impregnated with some toxins, which are not harmful to us, but for ordinary people, it may not be. Seeing the young officer's face change in front of him, Shi Yinghu smiled, he was not intimidating the other party, on the contrary, he was really reminding him kindly.

A necromancer who is proficient in curses can take enough physical information to curse an ordinary person in a casual contact, and a necromancer who is proficient in white bone and toxin spells is likely to carry a terrifying poisonous plague on his body, of course it is okay if he doesn't have an attack, but once he has an attack, it will be light for the whole family to die.

"Well, our general wants to see you, recently, there have been many troubles near the villages and towns that are difficult for the army to solve, and it is better to ask professionals to deal with professional matters, so the general hopes to get your help. ”

"In terms of remuneration, please rest assured that although you can't spend too much cash on things like this, we can fully meet you with all kinds of supplies. ”

“............”

"My companion and I have just had some trouble, so we need to rest for two days, if the general is not in a hurry, before sunset in two days, I will pay a visit, and then learn about the entrusted mission information, because there are some tasks that are beyond our ability to handle, if the tasks entrusted by the general are within our ability, then, of course, I am willing to be very helpful. ”

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

After Shi Yinghu nodded to the young officer in front of him, he stood up and opened the door, and after the wooden door was opened, he saw a beautiful blonde girl in civilian clothes holding breakfast, and she was a little sleepy-eyed and rushed inside.

"There are guests!" Shi Yinghu stretched out his hand to block the other party's head, and said so.

"Oh?" Finney reached in to look at it, then immediately retracted it again.

"I'm sorry, Senior Kate, I'll come back later. ”

"No need, anyway, there's something about accepting a mission, so let's listen to it too. Shi Yinghu quickly regretted his decision, because after Finney came in, the young Scadia officer opposite was obviously out of state.

He always subconsciously had to peek at Finney's body, of course, it is also understandable that a young man who has been in the army for many years will not be able to hold back and lose his temper when he encounters a girl with long blond hair, delicate face, and a toned body like Finney.

As the so-called three years of being a soldier, you will feel beautiful when you see a female dog, and this kind of thing is inevitable no matter what plane world you are in.

After the business was discussed, the young officer from Scadia reluctantly left, and Shi Yinghu and Finney began to recover and pack their bags after eating a simple breakfast of boiled eggs, sausages, and oatmeal together.

Shi Yinghu was going to Dacrim City in the Trist Federation, and he originally planned to hunt monsters and improve his professional level, but now there is nothing to do here, not to mention, to complete the summoning of the three-headed dog of hell, Shi Yinghu faintly felt that the dog town in front of him would be of help to him.

(Class level, it won't take long to get to level seven, at which point you'll gain a skill point that replaces the Clay Stone spell slot with the Three-Headed Hellhound summon.) My student loan, with the DeRanke house, can be paid at least two or three months, and there is no urgency for a while. ）

(It's just that I don't know what the trouble is that the Scadia army can't handle.) ）

......

Two days later, Shi Yinghu and Finney, who had a new look in their personal state and armor and sword trimming, came to the Scadia garrison together.

The young officer, who blushed at the sight of Finney, led the two through the checkpoints to General Hughton's office.

As the two entered, General Hughton was talking to a local resident of Dogtown about the supplies that Dogtown could provide.

"So, how much supplies can the town provide us?"

"Big ...... My lord, you can say as much as you want, and ...... As you wish. ”

In front of the commander of the army, General Hughton, who was in charge of his own life and death and even the survival of the town, the village mayor of Dog Town in the Ronalk Kingdom did not dare to breathe, and responded with such a cower.

"Oh, shit. Listen, give me the logistical supplies that you can carry, do I care if you ask for 100,000 loads of wheat, can you also take it out?"

"Uh, this...... This one. ”

"Well, I'm a soldier, but I'm not like those noble lords who don't know anything, I'm also a commoner, and I've harvested wheat with a sickle, and between us, it's a conversation between farmers and farmers. General Hughton of Scadia stretched out his palms as he spoke, and at this time, he noticed that his lieutenant had entered with a man and a woman, so he waved his hand and told the village mayor in front of him to step back first.

"Think about it first, I need to get enough supplies, but I don't want people to starve to death in Dogtown, this will be the territory of the Duchy of Scadia in the future. ”

After the village mayor retreated temporarily, General Hughton came to Shi Yinghu and Feeney and looked up and down.

"Harvey said that you are very good demon hunters, and I trust his judgment, so I won't say anything more than that, and I'll leave it to you to deal with the ghouls and even the evil spirit that has been haunting my army. ”

"Evil spirits!?"

Shi Yinghu and Finney, who had just been entangled by an extremely terrifying evil spirit, were faintly discolored when they heard this word.

"What, is there a problem?"

"It's certainly not enough to just have this information, we need more information before we can decide whether to take on this mission. It's still noon, General, tell us where the evil spirits often haunt, and we'll go and investigate, and then come back and tell you if we're up to the task. "Evil spirits are also hierarchical, and not all evil spirits are as terrifying as the necromantic curse on the Dark Witch Ship.

Shi Yinghu's calm and capable attitude obviously improved General Hughton's impression a lot, and he turned back to the map on the table, and then pointed out the location of the evil spirit to the two demon hunters.

"My soldiers have nothing to do with that evil spirit, and are always attacked by it in the dark, which has taken a toll on morale now. Therefore, I hope that you can solve it as soon as possible, in terms of honorarium, you will definitely not be at a loss, weapons, you can also take some first, I will give you approval. ”

Shi Yinghu clasped his arms in his arms, looked at the several places marked out by General Hughton, nodded, and didn't say anything.

At noon, Shi Yinghu and Finney rode Skadia's horses and went to the scene of the incident to investigate.

"Senior Kate, do you really plan to take on this task?The evil spirit is invisible, and even the restraint of the silver weapon is very limited......" After experiencing the incident of the Dark Witch Ship, Finney obviously had lingering palpitations, and there were obviously some psychological shadows for the evil spirit.

"First, not all evil spirits are particularly powerful, and the last time we encountered them was an accident within an accident. Second, we're witchers, have you ever seen a witcher who chooses to abandon their mission when they encounter an evil spirit?"

"Finally, I know how to configure the Manifestation Potion and the Explosive Potion, and with these two targeted potions, as long as it is not a particularly powerful evil spirit, we can completely deal with it. ”

"What's more...... We have just had a huge harvest that can be used to cope with this situation. ”

On the same day, Shi Yinghu and Finney rode horses to the location of the evil spirit attack, conducted detailed reconnaissance, and even examined the bodies of several soldiers of the Principality of Scadia who died from the attack of evil spirits.

Before the sun set, Shi Yinghu took Finney back to the garrison of the Scadia army, no matter how fierce the evil spirit, it was easy not to directly pick an army, it was all gradual and gradually devoured, although there were some armies in history after entering the Jedi, all the members were destroyed, but that kind of thing is the overall role of the right time, place and people, and there is no such situation here.

In the next few days, Shi Yinghu began to use the materials provided to him by General Hughton to refine various potions.

A monster formed by the convergence of national forces like the army, the cash may not be much, but the material is really sufficient.

Shi Yinghu took advantage of this situation and began to practice frantically, in fact, he did not refine the manifestation potion first, the first refining was the explosive potion that had been refined before, and then the recovery potion, magic potion, antidote potion, and endurance potion.

In this process, Finney cooperated as an assistant on the side.

In fact, in addition to the manifestation potion, in addition to the spirit sword oil, it is also very restrained to the dead soul type monsters, but the materials required to remove the spirit sword oil are relatively precious and rare, and they are not like these conventional potions that Shi Yinghu is refining now, and the raw materials are very easy to start.

Of course, even if it is a conventional potion, Shi Yinghu is now refining a low-level version, Xiaohong, Xiaolan, with the continuous improvement of the level of the professional, these low-level versions of the conventional potion, the recovery effect of the high-level professional will become smaller and smaller, and the medium-high level of the conventional potion, not to mention its prescription and refining difficulty, even its raw materials are not a secular army can be obtained in large quantities.

In addition, it should be noted that these potions that can quickly recover injuries are exclusive to professionals, not that they are not used by ordinary people, but potions that are effective for professionals, and are similar to poison for ordinary people.

The physique of the two sides is different, the endurance is different, there are a very small number of ordinary people with strong physique and strong desire to survive in history, after using diluted potions, their lives were saved, but most of them also aged rapidly in their twenties and thirties, and most of them died prematurely.

The potions used by professional witchers are not accessible to ordinary people.

One night, on the eve of the demon hunting mission, Shi Yinghu, who had been busy all day, returned to his room, took the wooden bow from the young merchant Kante, and rubbed it gently, at this time, Finney also sat beside him.

"I don't know if I did it or not, if I did it wrong, I might just destroy a bow with a great substrate, but if we can't use it, it won't make sense to us. With that, Shi Yinghu took out three shards of emeralds with a shimmering verdant green luster from his leather bag: shattered emeralds.

Then, he pressed a shattered emerald lightly into the groove of the wooden bow in his hand, and as the emerald buckled in, the emerald green luster began to overflow throughout the wooden bow.

Emerald-encrusted poison bow (premium equipment), steel weapon, +10 poison damage, 3 seconds duration - a very good poison kit.

Seeing the change in the prompt on the system bar, Shi Yinghu pressed the second broken emerald into the groove of the wooden bow in his hand:

Emerald-encrusted poison bow (Treasure Equipment), steel weapon, +20 Poison Damage, 3 seconds duration - a very powerful poison quenching equipment.

Seeing the change in the prompt on the system bar, Shi Yinghu pressed the third broken emerald into the groove of the wooden bow in his hand:

Emerald-encrusted poison bow (rare equipment), steel weapon, +30 poison damage, 3 seconds duration - trust me, even among the low-tier rare gold equipment, its lethality is second to none.

When the groove of the wooden bow was filled with three broken emeralds, the color of the entire longbow had turned dark green.

Although 750 gold was burned in an instant, it was basically equivalent to the entire salary of a strong laborer who worked in a city factory for fifteen years without eating or drinking, and half of his own family, but Shi Yinghu felt that it was worth it, and the equipment in his hand, in terms of actual combat effect, was probably much stronger than most low-level magic equipment.

It's a pity that it's not for their own use.

Shi Yinghu didn't use much firearms, let alone primitive catapult weapons such as bows and arrows, and he turned sideways and handed the bow inlaid with three broken emeralds to the Amazonesque warrior Finney who was looking at him stupidly.
