The tavern resounded with the sound of an ensemble of lutes and recorders.

A group of Irish dancers from across the St. George's Strait, tap-dancing to the beat of tambourine drums, weave through the aisles.

The dancers place the drinks on the guests' tables, and the guests place gold, silver and copper on the trays.

The polarization between the rich and the poor among the transcendents is quite severe, but these Irish dancers smile at their guests even when they receive only one copper.

A meowing black cat sprang under the table at a rapid pace, and a guest reached out in anger to kick it, but it nimbly avoided it.

Ishtar turned sideways and made a gesture of reaching out, and the black cat immediately burrowed into her arms like a swallow.

Li Ang wondered, "There are still cats here?"

The Black Death caused cats to be the embodiment of the devil, and most towns and cities had lost their creatures.

Ogilde laughed: "What's so strange about that, the name of this tavern is 'Seven Cats', it's normal to have cats, not everyone believes that cats are the devil incarnate - I just wonder if this little beast has a bad brain, and actually got into the arms of a poisonous snake." ”

Ishtar glanced at him coldly, gently stroking the black cat in her arms, she had learned to ignore Ogild's poisonous tongue.

Leon asked, "Miss Ishta, what do you mean when you said that the sword in the stone must belong to the witcher?"

Ista said in a cold tone: "It means in a simple way that all of us demon hunters who are going to participate in the Five Virtues Trial form an alliance and compete fairly with each other, but if we face the rest of the people, we will be unanimous. ”

Ogilde laughed and said, "That's a good feeling, which means that you guys are going to help me and Leon win the sword together?"

Esta had a look on his face: "Why?"

Ogilde responded with a reasonable expression: "You don't know swordsmanship, wouldn't it be a tyrannical thing to really take the sword in the stone?"

Li Ang couldn't help but laugh, holding up his wine glass to hide the smile on his face.

Ishtar retorted, "Who told you we don't know swordsmanship?"

Of course, the truth is not what Ogilde said, although the witchers of each school have their own emphasis, swordsmanship is still the foundation.

Even the witchers of the griffin school are more like the "double cultivation of magic and martial arts" made up in fantasy, even if they don't cooperate with magic, the level of swordsmanship is still above the vast majority of ordinary people.

The same is true for the pit viper.

In fact, in this era, even wizards often play a beautiful swordsmanship, which may not be worth mentioning in front of the masters, but it is easy to deal with three or five idle thieves, and in the eyes of mortals, it can also be called "extraordinary swordsmanship".

Ogilde happily provoked: "Okay, even if you know swordsmanship, I don't think that a guy with a dark psychology like you has a chance to pass the Five Virtues Trial. ”

Leon frowned, "That's enough, Ogild." ”

"Okay. ”

The atmosphere at the table became delicate.

Ogild completely ignored Ista and feasted and drank with Leon and Clifford, not knowing what happened between them.

There are more and more people, noisy and stuffy.

Li Ang couldn't help but say, "I went out to breathe, the room was too stuffy." ”

Ogilde got up and said, "Let's go together." ”

Clifford laughed, "I'll sit a little longer, and I'll not go." ”

Ishtar just hugged the black cat in his arms, staring at the wine glass in front of him without saying a word.

When I walked out of the tavern, I was greeted by a cold wind.

Ogilde couldn't help but sigh: "This is what I don't like about England, it's full of swamps, it seems to be raining every day, and it's cold to death. ”

"After all, winter is coming, and it's normal to be colder. ”

Leon also didn't like the Welsh climate, although it was cold, but it wasn't as vast as the cold and snowy weather of Northern Europe - even if it was cold, it was cold.

The cold of Wales seemed to have a strong musty and stale smell, and a cold damp air blew in, as if it could be attached to the body along the gaps in the armor and the inner lining.

Leon asked, "You had a holiday with Ishtar before?"

Ogilde nodded: "She snatched my commission before. ”

"That's it?"

Leon was a little speechless.

"At that time, I hadn't been given a job for days, penniless, and hungry. ”

"It's miserable. ”

Leon was deeply sympathetic to this.

Ogilde said with interest: "Why do you have a crush on that woman? Actually, it doesn't matter if you sleep, but it's best not to have a deep relationship with her, the people of the pit viper school are cold-blooded." ”

Leon said noncommittally, "In the eyes of many, we witchers are cold-blooded, and Ogild, prejudice is better than arrogance. ”

"Ha, how can you talk like that bad old man from our school?"

Leon laughed, "Innelli used to think I was a priest in a seminary. ”

"Yes, but are you sure you don't want to sleep with that woman? ”

Li Ang shook his head and said, "You think too much, I just picked up the relics of the Pit Viper School not long ago, and I plan to find a chance to return it to her." ”

Ogild was surprised: "Wouldn't it be nice to give it back to her just now?"

"I saved it, wizards are sensitive to spatial fluctuations, and I don't want to attract so many people's attention in that kind of confined space. ”

Ogilde was stunned for a moment before he reacted: "You have dimensional space?"

"Yes, but not the wizard's kind, the first demon I hunted was the Void Jumper, and I was lucky enough to draw its talent. ”

"Awesome!"

"Wait a minute, I'll take it out first. ”

"Good. ”

Li Ang left the town straight away, took out the snake faction double sword, and put some commonly used items on his body before rushing back from outside the town.

Although the dimensional space is practical, it is not comparable to the kind of space ring that can be accessed with a rub of the ring.

Not to mention anything else, just by summoning a blood basin mouth every time you use it, this ability is destined to not be easily displayed in front of people.

When Leon returned, Ogilde pointed behind Leon: "It just so happens that she also came out." ”

Looking back, Ishtar was walking out with the black cat in his arms.

Leon greeted him, "Miss Ishta, there are some things I want to talk to you about alone. ”

"What's the matter?"

Ishtar frowned.

She didn't know Li Ang, but she could only tell from the single sword that Li Ang was carrying that this was a new demon hunter.

Leon asked, "Do you know Rachels Marquis?"

"Of course, he's my senior. ”

Li Ang handed over the two swords: "Then you should know these two swords, right?"

Ishtar took the double swords, carefully studied the patterns on them, and his face was slightly gloomy: "This is the sword of Marquis's predecessor, why is it here with you?"

For witchers, the loss of a weapon often means the loss of a life.

Li Ang said in a deep voice: "That's right, he died, this is the relic I picked up next to his corpse." ”

"Who did it?"

Ishta's palm-sized little face was pale.

Li Ang said: "He died at the hands of an evil spirit, I have avenged him, and these two swords will be returned to their original owners." ”

"Thank you. ”

Ishtar said sincerely: "Actually, even if you hide these two swords and use them yourself, we will not pursue them. ”

Li Ang shook his head and said, "No, the demon hunters of our sect are not good at using poison and sword oil, so it is more useful to return them to you." ”

"Praise your virtues, Lord Lyon. ”

"You're welcome. ”

Back at Ogild's side, the crouch was crouching on the ground, gazing with interest at a wizard in black robes on the street.

The wizard stood in front of a beggar and smiled, "I can give you money, but what are you going to get in exchange?"

"Your Excellency...... But I have nothing, sir. ”

The beggar's voice trembled a little.

"You actually have a lot. ”

The wizard smiled meaningfully, "Give me one of your fingers, and I'll give you a gold coin, how about it?" ”

The beggar hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, don't change it!"

"That's two. ”

The wizard kept raising the price until the number "ten" was reached, and finally stopped talking.

The beggar's expression struggled, and finally he gritted his teeth, stretched out his left hand and said, "My lord, I changed it, but I only changed this tail finger." ”

The wizard sighed, "Alas, there is only one......"

He took out his knife and slashed it at the beggar's hand.

The beggar's face instantly became hideous and distorted, and he quickly took the gold coin handed by the wizard, and bent over like a rat in a sewer, and quickly left.

The wizard stared at his back, and smiled meaningfully.

Sure enough, the beggar had just run a short distance when he was stabbed in the back by a tall man.

The man quickly disappeared from their sight with the gold coins he had stolen.

Leon saw the beggar's eyes wide before he died, and his spiritual power quickly spread through the Winter Lord's Helm of Domination.

He saw that the tall man who had killed the beggar had been killed by another man, and the man who had snatched the gold coins had been killed again......

The cycle repeated, and the man who finally grabbed the gold coin actually went around in a big circle, ran back to the tavern, and was stabbed to death by the wizard when he passed by.

The wizard crouched down and took out the ten blood-stained gold coins from his arms, and he smiled and pocketed them.

Li Ang frowned and said, "What the hell is he doing, just killing more than a dozen people if he doesn't want to give money?"

Ogilde spread his hands and said, "Who knows, this kind of dark wizard likes to do something inexplicable, but disgusting. ”

"What's the difference between this kind of person and a demon?"

Ogilde shook his head: "They are much more terrible than demons, demons kill people to fill their stomachs, this kind of people are purely for the pleasure of killing." ”

As if hearing the conversation between the two, the Dark Wizard turned his head and made a decapitation gesture towards them.

Li Ang suddenly felt a desire to vomit spread from his esophagus, and Ogilde beside him vomited directly.

From his vomit, long black worms like hair could be clearly seen writhing and slender bodies.

"Leon, he's cursed us!"

"I see. ”

Li Ang opened his hand, and a white mist suddenly filled the air, and some guests who had just come out of the tavern couldn't help but sneeze.

"What the hell is this weather, I feel like my lungs are full of ice when I take a breath. ”

On the surface of the dark wizard's body, the red, green, and green protective spells lit up at the same time, but he didn't even have the slightest ability to resist, so he extinguished them at the same time.

The next moment, it was as if a firework was in full bloom.

The frozen flesh burst apart, scattering into a large patch of bright red ice.
