Chapter 191: Irion Celebration
The big event in Eric's mouth, Watson barely had to think about it and knew that it must be these underground forces who wanted to make trouble at the celebration, it was almost an annual practice, just as the Hidden Serpent Church did to the Barov family of Wildas, and there was never anything more humiliating than destroying the celebration of the nobles.

For example, at the celebration last year, the Hidden Snake Church teamed up with another Erien's underground killer force, and the night before the celebration began, they blew up the stage that had just been built there, and the Flender family had to change places the next day.
For this reason, these two organizations also made a name for themselves at the time, although they were attacked by madness during that time, but after the turmoil passed, their power did not decrease but increased, because their resounding fame attracted a large number of professionals who were hostile to the Flender family to join them, and their power expanded rapidly.
It can be said that the annual celebration can be called a game between the major forces, and the Flender family always spends a lot of money on hiring professionals from the major guilds before the celebration, but this does not include the Demon Hunting Guild and the Holy See, because these two guilds are not interested in human disputes.
What's more, if there are monsters or people similar to the Demon Alliance, the Demon Hunter Guild will not need the Flender family's recruitment, they will take the initiative to send Demon Hunters to help, because all the Demon Contractors are basically on the Demon Hunter Guild's must-kill list, and the Holy See will not sit idly by.
As the celebration approached, unlike the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere that permeated the common people, the ranks of the Flender family's subordinate professionals were almost on the verge of war, and the number of guards patrolling the area where the celebration was held was also increasing.
At the behest of the Flanders family, the Inquisition was dispatched to crack down on all the crimes that could be ignored in the past, and for a time there were new arrivals from Irion Prison almost every day, and these people may not have committed such unforgivable crimes, but who let them hit the muzzle of the gun.
At this juncture at the beginning of the celebration, the court has almost zero tolerance for crime, and if it is found, it will at least keep them until the end of the celebration.
During this time, Watson does not plan to take on any more tasks, but stays at home to recuperate, and the major underground forces that attack during the celebration every year can be said to be endless, rather than thinking about doing tasks to kill those monsters of unknown strength, Watson wants to fight with high-level professionals such as those demon contractors.
Their souls are no worse than those monsters, and even because of sacrifices or contracts, it is possible to collect the souls of demons or other high-level monsters from them, and he can count on these people to push him to the level of a demon hunter.
It's November 6th, two days before the celebration, and Watson has received several letters from Eric in the past two days, most of which are about the recent activities of the Hidden Snake Church, such as the beginning of the purchase of large quantities of gunpowder from the black market, and their lower-status members have been involved in the transportation of gunpowder.
According to the description in the letter, the amount of gunpowder is almost enough to blow up the entire Inquisition, which is not far from the previous year, and there is some noteworthy information, that is, the Hidden Snake Church seems to be cooperating with other forces this year.
Under Eric's careful investigation, many members of other forces appeared in some of the gunpowder strongholds bought by the church, and although they did not go up to inquire, they still found a lot of information by asking the Hidden Serpent cultists in charge of those places.
It turned out that these people came from various underground forces in Erien, and these forces were large and small, but without exception, they all had considerable malice towards the Flender family.
Integrating the scattered information on several letters, Watson roughly knew that there was still something big going on at this year's celebration, and finally read all the messages carefully, stuffed the letters and envelopes into the fireplace that had been lit in front of the sofa because the temperature had plummeted, and added a few firewood to it by the way.
Picking up the warm milk tea on the table next to him and taking a sip, Watson leaned back on the sofa and stared at the fire in front of him with unfocused eyes, as if thinking about something.
"Don't you notify the guild? Isn't that information supposed to be able to be exchanged for some points? ”
Viola also sat down next to Watson with a cup of milk tea, pulled the blanket on his lap to his side, and said after breathing a sigh of relief.
"Hmm...... There's no need to do this, to be honest, our Demon Hunting Guild's intelligence network is definitely wider than mine, and they won't be unaware of the information I can get here, and a large amount of gunpowder has been purchased on the black market...... It is impossible for this situation not to attract the attention of the major forces, but they just don't know how to solve it. ”
Does the Flender family know about the gunpowder trafficking in the black market? There is no doubt about this question, with such a large share of gunpowder trafficking, it is impossible for them, as the head snakes here, not to know about it, but they can't forcibly stop it.
Because the black market involves the interests of the major forces, several big guilds have their own interests in it, and even the Flender family itself has its own part of the income, which is not to say that you can stop it by sending a few teams to stop it, after all, everyone has always tacitly followed the rules in the black market.
Besides, these underground forces have their own purchase channels, and it is almost impossible to catch them all, rather than so scaring the snakes and letting these forces attack desperately, it is better to observe in the dark, even if the gunpowder is all made into explosives, there must be a channel to transport it to the target location, and it is impossible to say that when the time comes, you may be able to harvest more big fish.
As for why Watson didn't report his information, on the one hand, it was because the guild might have known that his information was not of much use.
On the other hand, the reason is to prevent some trouble from finding him, in case he is suspected of having dealings with those underground forces...... This is a fact, and he will not be able to tell the source of his information at that time.
In other words, he doesn't want to be on the blacklist of government agencies such as the Inquisition, if it is really recorded, even if they can't blatantly arrest them because of their identity, future surveillance will definitely be indispensable, and he really can't resist anything, after all, demon hunters are not a profession that can be killed indiscriminately.
If Watson still wants to stay in Erien, then he will have to be under constant surveillance by the Inquisition, and this feeling of being watched even by someone on the toilet...... Watson couldn't stand it when he thought about it. (To be continued.) )
