Chapter 526: Magic Blast: Monster
The crowd went into the cellar. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere are also corpses here, and there are footprints on the ground.
Rogette: "The footprints are small, and I don't have shoes. Went into the depths of the cellar. The corpse had fallen down the stairs and broken its neck. ”
Follow the footprints and walk in, seeing corpses along the way. The tragic condition of these corpses all shows that the monster's power is very great.
Then, everyone meets the vampire woman. With full preparation, Rogette takes out it with the player.
Rogette looked at the corpse on the table next to him, "Hmm, it stinks." After soaking in the river for a day, both hands were cut off. The corpse was dismantled, just as I thought. The corpse had been soaked in water for a long time, its head was swollen, and it had been bitten several times.
There's something in the throat ... It's a small purse, full of gold coins. It is a Nifgaard coin from various provinces. If this is the murderer's doing, it means that we are dealing with a monster that is sentient and can think.
The body is dismembered after death. The attack was quite powerful, but the bones were cut, not crushed. The creatures that killed him had long claws, as sharp as the sword of a demon hunter. It first plunged its claws into the heart of the deceased. It wasn't a vampire woman's doing.
Is there a third hand, is it a spare? But it was obviously not a victim, and the guards must have not noticed it when they were cleaning up. How can it be? Or is it lukewarm, and the blood is still flowing? There are a few monster types that can regenerate, but I've never heard of severed limbs regenerating, and I've never heard of severed limbs that can still look alive after so long. Come back later to investigate these organizations carefully, and maybe you'll find something.
So, the murderer must be a monster, but not a vampire girl. But why would a vampire woman come here for a severed hand? Whose hand does that hand belong to? Why are the hands still warm? What's the point of a wallet being stuffed down your throat? Why was he dismantled? There are many questions, but so far there are no answers. I'll have to ask for information about the other deceased, and ask Pelmelyn to take me to the Duchess." ”
So, Rogette took the players to the tent camp at the tournament venue.
To be honest, the scenery is really beautiful. Pyrmelyn is telling a story to a few little kids. Rogette found him directly.
Rogert: "I'm going to talk to the Duchess, it's urgent. ”
Pelmelyn said to the children, "All right, little devils. Now that the story is over, let's go find my parents. ”
Child A: "Sir Permelin! But isn't the story of Reddick and the dragon over yet? ”
Permelin: "I'll tell that story next time." Take a good look at this gentleman in front of you. This is Leah's Rogette, the hero who helped and defeated the giant Goyet. ”
Child B: "Demon Hunter Master, Evil Can Never Prevail Over Righteousness?" ”
Rogert: "It may not be true, but character has nothing to do with victory. Only the strong can win. ”
Child C: "So it's useless to maintain character?" ”
Rogert: "I didn't say that. ”
Child B: "What does it take to defeat evil?" ”
Rogert: "A sharp sword, and a skill." ”
Child C: "But what if there are a lot of bad guys, and they also bring very sharp swords?" And the skill is also very powerful? ”
Rogette: "That's when character is very important. Because it is said that the gods will reward the virtuous after death. ”
Pelmelin couldn't listen anymore: "Okay, enough questions, go find your parents." ”
The kids are gone.
Pelmelyn said to Rogette, "Your Excellency Duke must have arrived at the tournament venue and watched the battle in the arena. If we're fast, we'll be able to talk to her before the game starts. ”
A group of people walked towards the arena.
Rogert: "Who is in the war?" Knight of Nilfgaard"
Permelin: "Guessed close, but not the right answer." You'll see it soon. ”
Not far ahead, someone was struggling to pull a monster inside.
Rogette raised an eyebrow: "Someone has to fight Sharma?" And only a bell tied to its tail to slow it down in order to confuse it? ”
Permelin: "Any questions?" That monster was a gift from the Emperor. ”
Rogette: "You shouldn't have mistreated that monster like that. How would you feel if you were thrown into the arena blindfolded and a string of bells hung on your PI shares? ”
Permelin: "You demon hunters will sympathize with monsters?" ”
Rogette: "I'm hunting monsters that threaten humans, and you're humiliating monsters to please the crowd." No knight will be glorified for this. Who is going to fight that monster? ”
Permelin: "Gay Mi." You've seen him too. ”
Rogert: "yes, he told me he promised to give his lover a monster trophy. ”
Pelmelin: "Great love requires heroic sacrifice." ”
Rogette: "Let's go." ”
The group entered the arena. A race is starting.
Gay Mie walked into the arena, got down on one knee in one direction and said, "I'm going to give my victory to the beautiful Miss Vivien!" ”
Pyromelin led everyone to stand in the stands on the side: "It's already started." We'll have to wait until the battle is over, we'll have to wait. ”
Monsters enter the field. Gay Rice rushed up and fought it.
Rogette frowned deeply: "I have a bad premonition. Oops..."
The bell on the monster's tail shattered. And the in the field didn't notice that he was still waving to the beauties in the stands. Behind him, the monster was already rushing towards him. Gay Mi didn't react before he was knocked out by the monster.
Rogette jumped into the arena from the stands. The players jumped with him. Pelmelyn was the last to jump.
The process of the fight was a bit uncomfortable because the commentators in the stands kept harassing everyone with noise. There is no suspense about the outcome of the battle. The monster fell under Rogert's sword.
Narrator: "Sharma has been defeated by Rogert of Leah, the Demon Hunter!" Let's watch this creature take its last breath! ”
From the stands, the Duchess shouted, "Demon hunter, give that monster the final blow." ”
Rogette: "This monster is not a threat!" There's no need to kill him! He put away his sword.
Narrator: "The winner must show mercy!" It's his right! May the benevolent Rogette live a long and long life! Spearmen, dispose of that monster! "Several soldiers with spears ran in.
With the sound of the narrator's trumpet, the game is over.
Rogette stepped forward to pick up the newly woken-mommy.
Permelin: "Oh my God, he almost died. ”
Gay Mi: "I... It's okay... Didn't hurt... What about Vivien? ”
Pelmelin made him lie on his shoulder: "Smile like a hero and stop talking." It only hurts to speak. She came over. ”
The Duchess came over with three ladies, one of whom was Vivien, whom Gay Mill loved.
Gaogot: "Rogette... We have to... Talk about... Vivien..."
Permelin: "We'll talk about it later." Go to the tent and find a doctor first. ”
Duchess: "Rogette! It's wonderful! Breathtaking! ”
Tang Tu was very curious, why did the surrounding duchesses wear crowns? Could it be that she was born as a royal princess?
Rogert: "Your Excellency..."
Duchess: "We knew it was a good idea to come to you. Thankfully, we came up with this idea. ”
Rogette: "I think it's quite... Uh, honored..."
The Duchess said to Vivien, who was behind her, "Go and take care of our young hero, hurry!" We're going to take Rogette away, we're going to have a good talk. ”
Vivien and two other ladies walked over to Gay Mi.
The Duchess continued to say to Rogette, "We have been waiting for your arrival, and we are almost in despair. And then you pop up! It's a sight to behold! ”
Rogert: "Your Excellency, Sharma is a dangerous creature, and even a knight in full armor is no match for him. ”
Duchess: "Nonsense. In Towcente, knights have been hunting wild beasts for a long time. It's true that Gay Mi has a few more bumps, scars, and bruises, but he has the eternal glory of hunting the monster. ”
Rogette: "And what about the audience? If Sharma had jumped in the stands, it would have turned into a massacre. ”
Duchess: "Rogette, we're grateful for your intervention in resolving the accident in the arena. But a word of caution, we've decided to hire you, and if you complete another task, we'll pay you handsomely. "The Duchess's attitude was a bit unpleasant, and she didn't seem to think much of Rogette.
Rogert: "Your Excellency, I would like to discuss my commission. ”
Duchess: "No problem, but this place is not suitable. Damien needs to be there. He led the investigation team and is waiting for your arrival. But where did he go? Come on, we've got to find him. ”
The Duchess led everyone out of the arena.
The Duchess asked Rogert, "Tell us, did you come by yourself?" Or did Viscount Julian come with you? ”
Rogette: "Your Excellency, do you want to see Dandrien?" "Oh, so the Duchess misses the bard.
Duchess: "Yes. Wrong. Hey, sort of. But I just want to tell him that we regret very much that the death sentence that was previously imposed on him was reversed. If we could turn back time, we'd make sure he squatted in the tower until it rotted... No, we'll make sure he's tied to the wheels and then split up! "Uh... What exactly did the bard do?
Rogette looked embarrassed and didn't speak. A bald man appeared not far ahead.
Duchess: "Ah, the best man to carry out these orders has come." Demien. Picture 2, the captain of my personal guard. ”
Bald man Damien: "Hello Your Excellency, Hello Demon Hunter. ”
Rogette: "Hello. Sorry for the bad news I have, the guards who helped dispose of the last deceased's body..."
Damien: "I already know. Are the creatures in the cellars of the White Raven's Vineyard evil beasts? ”
Rogert: "No, it's a vampire girl, a kind of vampire." Not evil beasts, but they are related. ”
Damien: "How do you know?" ”
Rogette: "I've examined the evidence, the riverside and the white crow's vineyard. ”
Damien: "Are you suggesting that my men are not doing a good job of investigating?" ”
Duchess: "Rogette doesn't have any hints, we'll have to listen to him carefully." ”
Rogette: "I've investigated the body of the last dead man of the beast. I might have found something out of the way and need to analyze it. I need a quiet place most now, even better if there is the help of an alchemist or mage. I would also like to hear information about all the people who died before. I guess I'm going to look for Sir Picture 2? ”
Damien: "First of all, please call me Damien. Second, you should know that I'm against bringing you here. I've heard about you. You're only going to cause trouble, and we've had enough trouble now without exception so far. Moreover, we don't need the help of outsiders to defeat the beast on our own. ”
Duchess: "Damien, we've talked about hiring demon hunters before. There's nothing to say anymore. Since you're still obsessed, let's talk about Rogette's pay first. She looked at Rogette and asked, "Is the legend true?" Demon hunters usually want 'something you can find at home, but can't think of'? ”
Rogette: "Yes, Your Excellency. This is the law of contingency, a law that must always be followed. ”
Duchess: "Then let's be honest." The surprises we encounter every day are certainly of no value to you. Every day there are orders waiting for signatures and portraits of suitors in distant lands. I'm afraid these two things won't work for you at all. That's why we've decided to give you a vineyard called White Crow, along with a gold coin. I'm sure you think this is a good reward. The vineyard will be handed over to you soon, and you'll definitely need a place to stay while you're hunting evil beasts. However, you won't get the gold until you've killed the beast. ”
The clerk walked over with a contract of employment and a key.
Rogert: Thank you, you are so generous, Your Excellency. But, uh, isn't the White Crow Vineyard the temporary morgue of the Principality what it is now? ”
Duchess: "Really? I'm afraid the embassy is doing oolong again! I really can't let go for a moment and let them on their own! But the atmosphere in the morgue shouldn't be a problem for demon hunters. On top of that, terrifying legends can make wine even more mysterious. ”
This duchess is really strong and impossible to refuse.
Rogert: "Thank you, Your Excellency. Of course, I am willing to accept this commission. But, as I just said, I need more intelligence. How did this start? Who was the first person to die? ”
Damien: "Cresp was the first to die. He has won many tournament championships and is therefore famous. Then, when he got old, he put away his sword and improved the military liquor business. ”
Duchess: "Cresp was not popular in the wine business, he was ruthless in the business world, and he is said to have played many petty tricks. He asked us for a charter to sell wine at all court ceremonies. We don't want to give it to him, and we can't give it to him. After taking the oath of knighthood, he will be a knight for the rest of his life. ”
