Chapter 585: The White Wolf and the Pit Viper
Hearing Rayso's question, Gallott fell silent, but he didn't stop cutting the roast pork chops with a knife and fork and inserting the slices of meat into his mouth, and even occasionally picking up the white bread that he had broken aside and nibbling on it twice.

In the face of Gallott's silence, Resso didn't say anything: he knew many of Gallott's habits that he had done too much to act together, and silence didn't mean that he didn't want to answer the question or deal with people, it was just that he was trying to find a way to answer or change the topic, and his current eating behavior was just a cover for his own behavior of trying to answer or change the topic.
"Rayso ......" poured the minced pork, onions, and white breadcrumbs into his stomach with a glass of ale, and Gallott wiped the corners of his mouth, and his mouth, which had been silent for a long time, made a sound, "During my time in Towcent, the old friend I met who thought he was dead asked me a question similar to what you said, that is, 'If you were born from death like me, would you choose to be a demon hunter again?'...... I have to say, you have a little similarity with that guy, but that's all there is to it. ”
"Hmph, I don't think you have a good relationship with the friend you're talking about now, and if it weren't for the fact that we're both in this strange world and there's no way to go back, I'd really like to meet this friend of yours. Rayso shrugged his shoulders, the wide skeleton made his overall body much burder than ordinary people, although the two two-handed swords he was carrying behind his back were not much different from the two newly custom-made two-handed swords on his back, but Gallott looked just right with two two-handed swords on his back, and at first glance, Rayso was carrying two one-handed swords on his back, and even sometimes his big bald head could block the hilt and gauntlet of one of the two-handed swords, it looked like he was only carrying a two-handed sword, "What do you think, Gelot?"
Instead of answering Rayso's question immediately, Gallott drank a full glass of ale, and pulled a maid who walked past the table again to order more ale, and then regained his composure, "I don't know anything but the demon hunter. Reso, do you think I can go and be someone else?"
"It's hard to say, because I don't think of a specific answer to a similar question when I think of it myself, white wolf. Resor spoke with no obvious expression on his fleshy face, "So I'm asking you this question as well as looking for a possible answer, Garrowt." ”
"Ha, it looks like you're going to be bothered by this kind of problem too. Gallott nodded noncommittally, then continued, "I like wandering and adventure, I like searching for clues and trails...... I love the tension before the battle, because fighting all kinds of monsters gives me the most adrenaline rush...... I'm even used to being treated like a freak and a mutant, banishing me from society. ”
As he spoke, Gallott took another glass of ale and gulped it down.
After putting down the empty glass, Gallott coughed and continued, "Oh, I don't think about this kind of thing very often, but to be honest, I still like to be a demon hunter. ”
"Ha, it seems that you are still the kind of person who is not willing to live a quiet life, and even if you already have the immovable property of the White Vineyard in Towcente and can be the owner of the estate from now on, you will not be idle for long to continue your life as a wandering demon hunter, Gelot. "Rayso seemed to smile as he spoke, but it was hard to tell from his fleshy face whether he was smiling or not, but he could barely tell it from the tone of his voice, but it was also clearly distinguishable from the few fellows who were close to the burly and strong pit viper school demon hunters, such as Gallott," One day you'll either die under the fangs of monsters or under human siege, just like in the carnage in Livia, and at some point a second fork will pierce you in the belly. ”
"Who knows? As you used to say, Rayso, 'Demon hunters never die in their own beds,' and I never thought there would be such a way to end my life. Gallott sighed slightly, and at this time the maid brought eight glasses of malt wine and placed them in front of Gallott and Resso, making Gallott pick up one of the ales, "The profession of demon hunter means that we all live a life of licking blood with a sword blade and a fixed place, and this extremely unstable life between life and death also makes me more inclined to a lifestyle of timely pleasure, although I have suffered too much in this way of life, and in many ways...... Not only that, but in terms of occupational risk, no matter what school of demon hunters, we may die at the hands of monsters or humans at any time. Unless a demon hunter can really have the determination to completely cut off his previous way of life and connections, and have enough capital to start from scratch, then it is possible for him to live a relatively stable ordinary life from now on, and it is possible to meet a woman who is willing to spend his life with him, and form a family, but if he just wants children...... It seems that there is only one way to adopt, after all, we are no longer fertile after passing the 'trial of grass'. ”
"That's right, I've never seen a demon hunter who can really live like a normal person......" Reso said in a muffled voice, reaching for a glass of ale that was slightly rippling on the surface of his hands, "Gallott, have you seen one?"
"I've seen two, and they're both demon hunters of the cat school, that is, demon hunters who can completely solve commissions such as assassination that only assassins and killers do. Gallott nodded, in the memory of his mind, there were at least two demon hunters who could live like ordinary people, and all of them were demon hunters of the cat school, "One is in Dorian, a small city of Temeria east of Vijma, and a cat demon hunter named Kirtel is a nominal and ostensible lawyer, but in fact, it is equivalent to doing the work of a killer and an assassin, and there are many things that can be easily solved through the Seal of Axif, but it is difficult for ordinary people to reach the sky trouble', which makes him a lot of money...... In Novigre, formerly known as Judd Calladin and now Roland Trigg, he has become a well-known businessman and a great philanthropist who has even had a wife who genuinely loves him and two boys who follow his mother into the house...... Reso, do you think this is a demon hunter who can really live like a normal person?"
"......" Rare, Reso was silent for a while, and after thinking for a few minutes, he slowly spoke: "Yes or no: Gelot, the proto-cat demon hunter you mentioned named Kirdium is still doing his old job, except that he no longer makes money by hunting vampire witches, dragon lizards, Andregg, and werewolves, but transforms into an out-and-out assassin and killer to earn a lot of money...... It's not like living a peaceful life like an ordinary person. ”
"Hah, haven't you and your companions taken on a similar commission?" Gellott shrugged his shoulders, his plate shoulders swaying slightly, but not as loudly as all the armor parts were made of steel.
"......" heard what Gallott had mentioned, and Resso fell silent again, and after nearly ten minutes, he shook his head a little helplessly: "That thing...... Sure enough, I needed a piece of land that could rebuild the academy of the Demon Hunters of the Pit Viper School, and as a result, after the few Demon Hunters of the same faction were damaged and successfully assassinated several northern kings, the Demon Hunters of the Viper School did not receive corresponding rewards, and I was hunted down by the Emperor's bounty hunters, and the others ...... The others have now largely moved to the North, hoping that they will be able to look for suitable commissions there as they did before...... Alas, there may be no need for demon hunters in this era, otherwise all the demon hunters of various schools are becoming more and more scarce, like the demon hunters of the Manticore Lion School seem to have completely broken off the inheritance now, I have been wandering around for so long, and I have never heard of any trace of the Demon Hunters of the Manticore Lion School operating in a certain place. ”
"Manticore School?, I've only heard occasionally from an armor craftsman in Towcent, and all I can find is a skeleton in a monster's lair underground. Gallott's snow-white eyebrows furrowed, and a slight helplessness appeared on his face, which rarely showed expression, "You are also forced to helpless - Reso, you once told me that almost all the demon hunters of the Viper School stay in the territory of the Nilfgaard Empire, and the demon hunters of the Viper School are still in a state of exile, so you are not even allowed to enter the towns in the Nilfgaard Empire, and your situation is much worse than that of other schools of demon hunters who are basically in the north...... However, Enhil tells you that if you are willing to obey him, he will re-establish the Academy of Demon Hunters of the Viper School in the Empire, and announce that the banishment of the Demon Hunters of the Viper School will be lifted...... So you accepted his orders and led the demon hunters of the Viper School to kill as many kings of the northern countries as possible, and then put all the blame on the sorceress to stir up unrest in the northern countries...... Alas, let the past pass. ”
"The ...... that killed King Foltest" Rayso shook his muscular shoulders as he said this, "Forget it, it's already done, and you can't change it again...... The businessman and philanthropist you call Novigri seems to be able to live as an ordinary person, and judging by your tone...... Galot, you still seem to have some contact with him?"
"Yes, I've been there with Lambert for some of his personal affairs. Gallott nodded.
"Ha, if the feline demon hunter who used to be named Kaladin was the first demon hunter to start a new life in a normal way, then you have every chance of becoming the second one, Gelot. Rayso picked up a glass of ale and drank it down, "As a result, you settled for a while and then continued to wander around, except that you have a fixed and comfortable place to stay compared to most demon hunters, and...... Ha, you're here, a strange world that seems to have more monsters and non-human races of all kinds, and I can hear from the mouths of its inhabitants that it seems that the dominance of this world is almost entirely controlled by various non-human races, except that the human life here is not as bad as the non-human races that live with humans in the world we live in, and it can even be considered quite good. ”
"yes, who would have thought ......" Gallott snorted after putting the last piece of roast pork chop on his plate into his mouth, then then stuffed the last piece of white bread into his mouth and swallowed it, eating all the food before continuing: "Anyway, I've been in this weird world for a while, and it's nice to meet a former acquaintance...... Resso, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
"I'm glad I met you not long after I first arrived in this strange world, White Wolf. Rayso nodded, "What are you going to do here next?"
"My main thing is to hunt down the various monsters here to obtain all kinds of bio-type magic materials on them, and exchange them for enough money to get enough money from their arsenal to order new weapons and armor from their arsenals. Gallott replied, then picked up a glass of ale and drank it slowly, "Rayso, when you're done eating, I'll take you to the bank here, first exchange the different types of currency on you for the common currency here, and then tell you what you need to do if you want to make money here...... I'm just getting used to the pace of life here, and I hope my experience will help you, Rayso. ”
"I hope so. Rayso shrugged his shoulders, then began to eat his portion of the food he hadn't finished eating, "Anyway, we're going to be ready to live in this world for a long time, white wolf. ”
"That's the way it is, Resso. (To be continued.) )
