Chapter 20: Escape
Without hesitation, Canette immediately raised his crossbow and fired, knocking the lady's kitchen knife into the air instantly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The spinning blade nearly slashed the client's neck. And that bastard hasn't woken up yet.
The aunt seemed taken aback by Canette, and turned around with her eyes still closed. Carnett, on the other hand, watched with a cane and a crossbow in his hand.
On the other hand, the aunt suddenly picked up the kitchen knife again and rushed at Cannet. The witcher raised his crossbow once more, re-fired with precision, and knocked down the weapon. Then he put away the cross lunge and rushed forward, disrupting the balance of the aunt with one cane, knocking her to the ground.
Immediately gathering magic power, Canette unleashed a hunting spell, gathered exorcism energy in his left palm, and threw a magic bullet at the aunt's body. And at the moment of hit, a smoke-like object was forced out of the body, and a terrifying cry was released.
And this voice directly woke up the client. He looked at the situation in front of him and let out an equally terrible scream.
"Stay away from it!" Canette yelled at the housekeeper, raising his cane and angrily opening the Demon Hunt horizon at the smoke cloud: this technique of hiding and seeking is terrible...... What's the point of being in such a hurry to kill this man?
If you want to do it, you have to do it after I'm gone!
Do you really think that in the middle of the night, I can't wake up?
The smoke seemed rather unexpected by the situation, and it slipped through the half-open window and got outside.
Damn, if the window is closed, you can trap it inside!
There have been many times before, and it was because the windows were not closed that there was a big problem!
However, Cannet, of course, did not want to let it go, so he immediately chased after it.
It was pitch black outside, but in the Demon Hunting Vision, everything was shrouded in blood red.
Even the night was stained with blood.
Where the smoke goes, there's nowhere to hide here.
The cloud of smoke fluttered faster than expected, and the demon hunters tried their best to catch up, but they were still pulled away farther and farther away.
Just when he felt that he could no longer catch up, a surprising situation occurred: Dire Mael suddenly ran out and caught up with Canette, motioning for him to get on his back.
"It's too timely, Al!" Carnet hurriedly stepped onto his horse and rode forward. With the speed of his mount, the Witcher quickly caught up with the cloud of smoke and drew his silver sword as he drew his silver sword.
Demon Hunter's Silver Sword that can damage spirits.
Unlike exorcists who use Spiritbinding, Demon Hunters are not good at spells, but are more adept at fighting with silver swords (with the exception of Bulso the Half-Hanged).
Without waiting for the demon hunter to get closer, this time the cloud of smoke that knew that it could not be escaped, instead changed its strategy and suddenly burrowed into a family's house. Canette hurriedly jumped off Al to the ground and rushed into the house: the back door of the house was unlocked.
I'm trespassing...... But there's no time to worry about that.
Seeing the smoke crash into the kitchen, Canette sped up as best she could, finally catching the smoke after it had turned a dead end and was blocked in the road.
Raising his silver sword, he thought it would be the end of the matter, but he was suddenly swept by the smoke and briefly lost his target in a sense of dizziness.
At the moment when he immediately reacted and wanted to chase after him, he suddenly realized that the smoke had possessed the owner of the house who had been awakened by the sound and came to check.
Apparently, the owner of the house stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Then, however, he suddenly turned and ran away, grabbed a shovel in the corner of the room, and ran frantically towards Cannet.
I'm most annoyed by these monsters who possess people...... Canette gritted her teeth: she had to be careful not to kill people.
That's why Demon Hunters must choose a non-lethal weapon in addition to the Silver Sword as a support.
Sometimes you inevitably need to just stun people.
The enemy wielded his shovel, but after the first attack was dodged, he was knocked unconscious by a sudden stab from Canette. At the same time, as the host lost consciousness, the smoke rushed out and tried to escape again.
Carnett resumed the chase, sensing Al's position: she was waiting in front to outflank her.
Sure enough, the moment the smoke flew over the window, El immediately appeared, hiding in the darkness that had melted into the night, and his red, black smoke eyes stared at the smoke and froze it in place. The Demon Hunter slashed down with a swift sword, causing it to disappear with a wail.
Finally solved...... Canette gasped and patted Al on the head. The Dire, on the other hand, snorted, as if to ask for credit.
"Oh, thank you so much......" After returning to her employer's house, Canette received a solemn thank-you. The employer seemed to be in a state of panic: "I didn't expect this to happen." It's a shame that you found out, or ......"
"It's nothing, I didn't feel right before. Canette shook his head and rejected the bonus his employer wanted to give him again: "This is after-sales service, and I won't take money." ”
Carnet was always short of money, but he was always very principled in collecting money.
Some people may have questions, that is, after solving the King of Thousand Bones last time, shouldn't you have made a lot of money?
But not much.
That was a commission from the church. Church commissions are almost all not very expensive, but they will give you great reputation.
And......
Most of the money Canette earned was sent back to the Demon Hunter Academy, where he grew up. This academy, located in the World Tree Thirty-Seven World (the lowest floor), is too dilapidated and needs to be renovated.
In fact, in the entire World Tree, it is the thirty-seventh layer that is the most dangerous.
The reason is simple.
Further down are the roots of the World Tree. It was a spectacular stretch of road.
If you go underground, you can go down to the black lake at the bottom of the roots.
And further down......
It's the abyss.
Abyss Frontier, you will be stopped by the Abyss Guards. Randall, the capital of the Abyss, is there.
Carnet plans to go there someday. He wanted to see if there would be any commissions to take.
The last time he stayed in Jinyang City, he got a reply from the academy.
The reply said that the money and notes he sent were so useful that he was already sorting out the college. It is now being renovated with a magic mech. After the renovation is completed, you may be able to find the students smoothly.
It's true that the academy of only four people after I left was really rubbish...... Thinking so, Canette felt a burst of discouragement: To put it bluntly, it is a miracle in the industry that this academy has not been able to close. The castle itself covers a large area and is inhabited by a few people, which is really a bit sad.
