Chapter 237
A big thing happened in Tousente. Within a day, there was a spate of murders. According to the sheriff's count, the death toll on that day reached thirty-seven people.
The most tragic of them all is Antoine. Stregan's estate. Twenty-six people, including the guards, all died. Monsieur Antoine was stabbed more than 30 times and then bled to death. As for the other deceased, the sheriff quickly found out about them.
One thing they all have in common is that they were once Antoine's subordinates. A few quit, but most are still working for him. It's the guard of his chamber of commerce.
"So, this is a massacre against the Antoine Chamber of Commerce. Judging by the scene of the death, it was clearly a vendetta. Antoine and the dead guards must have done something that angered some dangerous people. "The sheriff was very professional and judged that it was a vendetta. But a local soldier beside him was confused.
"Do you know what?" The sheriff asked.
"Uh...... it's not like I know anything. It's that the whole of Towson knows. About two years ago, that incident spread to all the surrounding areas. Antoine's bodyguards, who once boasted in the tavern, had killed a witcher and spent most of the day torturing him.
Cut him more than seventy times before the guy died. This was famous at the time, and almost everyone knew about it. Every time they drank wine, they would take it out and brag about it. The people who died, the same people who told that story. Everyone knows here. ”
"...... damn it." The sheriff's face hurt. He thought for a moment, then said.
"The Antoine family died in a robbery. Find a time to get out of town and catch a few robbers and count this on them. And then close the case, as for the others...... No one will care. ”
The soldiers on the side were reluctant to listen.
"But sir, this is clearly the revenge of the witcher. Those damn mutant mongrels, the ones who killed us, we should have them all caught and hanged. ”
The sheriff stood up, and then punched the soldier to the ground without warning. Before he could react, he rushed up and pinned him to the ground again.
"Listen to me, you idiot. I don't care how much you despise those witchers, but I have to make it clear to you. Even the most rookie witcher can level you with one hand. You are able to insult and humiliate them with impunity because they are afraid of the rules of this world and do not dare to fight back. But look at it now, they're already fighting back. Any idea what that means? They don't fear those rules anymore.
Those mutant mongrels in your mouth have now become dangerous monsters. There were twenty-one guards in this manor. But not even a distress signal was issued. Any idea what that means? We are not facing one, but a group of monsters. A group of monsters that have completely broken free. ”
The sheriff is not one of these low-level soldiers, he is a minor nobleman. Able to reach out to some upper-stream messages. He vaguely knew that the group of witchers was reappearing in the eyes of the world. And this time, they have the backing of Sintra, a powerful country.
According to some grapevine, they have already started to rebuild Kylemohan. But Kodwin didn't even let out a fart. This suggests that some kind of deal may have been made between Sintra and Kodwin. The sheriff knows the fighting power of the witchers. Those guys, once they have the support of the state, and their numbers are extended to a certain extent, will be a group of extremely dangerous killing machines. He's here to be gilded, not to risk his life to hunt down these dangerous guys.
The left and right are just a dead businessman, with a lot of oil and water, and after blocking all the mouths, he can also make a lot of money. As for hunting down those witchers and the like, it's pure. Isn't it good to sit back and wait for a penny? Why do you have to do such a dangerous job? The job of a sheriff is to make money, is it true that he is a businessman who deserves his own life?
The soldier on the ground also understood in an instant. If those witchers really start to fight back, with their own level, it will be purely food delivery......
And so it ended. Antoine's entire family died, and a lot of his possessions were being spied on by countless people, as for why he died and who killed him. No one cares anymore. And those dead guards were even more ignored. Their families didn't even receive a copper plate.
And after Resso led the team to retrieve the drawings of the cat school, he did not stop. Quickly rushed to the next mission location.
There is no shortage of geniuses in this world. Leo. Bonnet is one of them. He was very tall, but extremely thin. Gray and peculiar mustache, he looks like a catfish, he looks cold and ruthless, and his godless eyes are like fish eyes.
He's a real genius. And his talents are swordsmanship, murder, and abuse. He was a top swordsman a long time ago. This makes it very rare for anyone to really play against him. Killing was too simple for him.
He began to get bored, and then awakened to another talent. That's abuse. He began to like to abuse them carefully before killing them, and he found that this was the only way to get him high.
Of course, there's another kind of person that will excite him, the witcher. It's hard for an ordinary samurai to fight him. But witchers are different. Their combat power far exceeds that of ordinary people. So Leo began to hunt demon hunters specifically. Because these people are able to give him the thrill of fighting.
He's a swordsmanship genius, a very rare kind. Even the mutated witchers couldn't defeat it head-on. He hunted down three witchers one after another. And collected three badges. One each for the wolf, the cat, and the griffin school. He wore three badges on his body as a way to attract other witchers for revenge.
There is no doubt that he succeeded in this approach. He succeeded in attracting witchers for revenge. It's just not one or two as imagined, but ...... Pack.
In a dimly lit alley. Leo grabbed the hilt of his sword with his right hand and shouted behind him.
"I've been stalked many times. But I've never met you who suck this way. Come out, little mice. You will be honored to be my pleasure tonight. ”
With his figure, some figures slowly walked out. It's just that the amount is a bit beyond imagination. His front and rear directions were blocked by more than a dozen people. Reina's face changed slightly. He noticed that each of these young swordsmen exuded a dangerous aura.
In other words, everyone present is capable of posing a mortal threat to him. But now there are more than 30 of them. To this Reina just want to say: it......
