Chapter Seventy-Two: The Poor Ghost

"It's so remote, and it's been 'ignored' witchcraft, if it weren't for the witchers, who would have found this place out of their way?"

"Don't look like it's overcrowded now, I used to come here to pick up work, and there were basically no customers. ”

Leon looked at the chattering "peers" around him and asked, "Then how did this tavern survive?"

"Of course, it's a cut from the commission, and although it's only a tenth, it's more than enough to maintain this tavern." ”

While not all witchers are like Dante, who can earn tens or even hundreds of florin coins for each demon slay, it's not much different.

Even if it's one in ten, that's still a significant number.

At this time, a waiter with a big waist and a round waist came to them with a wooden tray and said a little impatiently, "Do you need anything for the two guests?"

It's quite a bad service attitude.

Innelly glanced at Leon, hesitated, and raised two fingers: "Two glasses of ale." ”

"Received two silver marks. ”

With some pain, Innelli took out two silver coins and placed them on the plate in the waiter's hand.

The waiter picked up the silver coins and looked at them for a moment, then put the two silver coins back on the table, and said, "We don't accept deniers here. ”

Inelli was a little annoyed and said, "Is your broken wine worth two Glosso?"

The monetary system of this era was extremely chaotic, and the Dennel was a general term for the private coinage of most Western European counts, and the silver content was generally low.

In comparison, coins issued by Italian city-states such as Glosso are definitely in high demand.

The waiter stared at her, sneering silently.

Her face was a little uncomfortable, and she was about to take out the money, when Leon had already taken out two standard silver marks and threw them on the tray.

The silver mark refers to a standard unit of silver coin, which is approximately equal to one hundred and fifty marks (about 1.5 grams) of silver.

The waiter picked up the silver coin and looked at it for a moment, then said with a smile: "The drink will be served later." ”

Innelli was a little embarrassed and tried to change the subject to hide her stinginess: "The drinks here are expensive and unpalatable, and when I first left the Wolf School, I had to wait outside to take on tasks - if I didn't buy alcohol, the waiters here would drive people away." ”

Leon stared at the embarrassed witch witch and didn't care about these details, but said, "That waiter just now seems to be very strong. ”

"I've never seen him before, but the waiters at the Trees and Fist Tavern are never easy to mess with. ”

Innelli glanced at the counter and lowered her voice, "The Tavern of Trees and Fists is the home base of all the witchers in Southern Europe, did you see that woman?"

Leon followed the direction Innelli had just looked, and saw a blonde woman drinking with a wine glass.

She wore a wide wizard's robe, but she didn't have the slightest witch intellect, but only gave people a heroic and wild feeling, like a female leopard.

"Her name is Catherine, and she is also the owner of this tavern, known as 'The Saboteur', and she is a wild witch who specializes in the demon genre, you don't even know what the demon genre is, do you?"

Leon shook his head.

Of course he knew about the Demon School.

In short, it's a school of wizards that study demonic power and draw magic from it to grow itself, much like the witcher.

In fact, many schools of wizards treat the wizards of the demon school as witchers with the ability to cast spells.

"Is this saboteur strong?"

Leon looked at this woman, she was good-looking, her blonde hair was like a waterfall, her eyes were like silk after drinking, and she was a perfect blend of lazy and wild, very seductive.

"Don't keep staring at her, this woman is a ruthless character, she once hunted the green dragon entrenched in the Alps alone. ”

Li Ang said with interest: "She is a high sequence?"

Inili was speechless for a long time before complaining: "Why is your low sequence tone so big, and you talk about high sequences at every turn?"

Li Ang immediately understood what she meant, and said with a lack of interest: "She's not." ”

"Although she is not a high order, she is said to be the mistress of the legendary witcher Dante. ”

As Innelli spoke, her eyes froze as she saw the "saboteur" who had been behind the counter walking towards them with a tray.

Mistress Dante?

Li Ang's interest suddenly rose, but he also saw the approaching saboteur, so he had to suppress the gossip idea, but who knew that the saboteur walked straight towards them.

"The ale of the two. ”

Catherine placed the tray on the table and gently patted her on the shoulder under Inrily's flattered gaze.

"Inrily, long time no see. ”

"Broken ...... Your Excellency the Saboteur, do you remember me?"

Innelly stammered.

"Of course, a beautiful girl like you, how could I forget. ”

The witch known as the Saboteur reached out and pinched Inelli's cheek, "Who is this handsome little guy next to you?"

"This is my temporary partner, Leon, who is a wild hunter but still very strong. ”

Ineri hurriedly introduced.

"Wild hunter?"

Catherine chewed on the word, glanced at Leon meaningfully, and then said, "Innelle, don't you mind if I borrow your partner?"

"Of course!"

"Leon, come with me. ”

Leon didn't hesitate, got up and followed.

He was just a low-rank witcher, so naturally there was nothing worthy of this famous "saboteur".

Catherine came to him only because of his relationship with Dante.

But Leon never exposed his relationship with Dante to anyone else, and Catherine knew that it could only be Mr. Dante who told her personally.

And the person who can make Dante trust, Leon is naturally willing to give trust.

Moreover, even if he really fell for the scheme, he would have the opportunity to smash Ms. Angelina's token and teleport directly back to the Witches' Forest.

Behind the counter, Catherine took out her glass, filled it with amber liquor and handed it to Leon: "Taste it, it's Glengia's beer." ”

"Thank you for your hospitality. ”

Catherine smiled, and then got straight to the point: "Dante told me about you, and asked me to arrange one of the most difficult routes in the Grass Trial for you, I think his approach is dangerous, but I can't refuse his request, so I want to ask you what you mean." ”

"Since it is Mr. Dante's arrangement, then I will accept it, and I believe that he will not harm me. ”

Catherine sighed: "To tell you the truth, I have never seen him rate a person so highly, if you follow the step-by-step process, you also have the hope of being promoted to the high rank, you don't need to take such a big risk." ”

Li Ang smiled and shook his head: "Time is running out." ”

Catherine frowned, "I have always believed that even if the world is in danger, the burden should not be placed on the shoulders of young people like you. ”

Leon said sincerely: "I don't want to bear this burden, I just want to have the strength to protect myself and my loved ones when the end comes." ”

Catherine was stunned for a moment, and chuckled, "I appreciate your straightforwardness, and if you have any doubts about the Grass Trial, just ask me." ”

"Are you really Mr. Dante's mistress?"

Catherine frowned slightly, and the corners of her mouth immediately raised: "Of course not, I am his only woman, how can I be just a mistress?"

......

When she returned from Catherine's place, there was already a majestic man on the table.

"It's over so soon?"

Leon bumped into Inelli's somewhat pitying eyes, and suddenly realized that she wanted to be crooked, and said helplessly: "Lady Catherine just invited me to a drink." ”

"Oh, I understand. ”

Innelli smirked.

Probably in this era, there will be no more graceful girls like the East, and Innelli's mouth has always been unscrupulous with swear words and meat jokes.

Leon didn't bother to explain any more, but looked at the man sitting next to him, a typical Slav, blue-eyed, muscular, like a brown bear.

Ineri introduced, "This is William of the Bear School, the Ante, we once fought side by side and killed a terrorist. ”

Ante presumably refers to the Eastern Slavs, while the West Slavs are generally referred to as "Venetti".

"This is my temporary partner, Leon the Wild Hunter, who is quite good, not only with luxurious equipment, but also with superb sword skills and first-class speed. ”

"You don't need to explain so much, the person who can win the favor of His Excellency the Destroyer is naturally extraordinary. Lyon, nice to meet you. ”

William stretched out his big furry hand and said with a smile.

His accent was so strong that Leon had to struggle to distinguish his words in order to hear him clearly.

Although he is exceptionally burly, William's temperament is just like that of a simple brown bear, and when he is not angry, he is easy to give people a good impression.

"Fortunately. ”

Leon reached out and shook his hand.

Ineri said, "When the draw is held later, the three of us will try to be together as much as possible, so that the routes we have been assigned will roughly coincide, and we will have a good relationship with each other." ”

This is probably the small group that Inniri formed for this grass trial, and in the tavern, most of the people who drank and chatted at the same round table were the ones they were going to be with.

The difficulty of the Grass Trial is extremely high, which makes the witcher, who has always liked to be alone, have to choose to huddle.

Leon wondered, "Aren't you with the witchers of the same school?"

Innelli rolled her eyes: "You may have some misunderstanding about the Demon Hunter School, do you think that our personnel are so prosperous that we can casually make up five or six low-order peak classmates to send Demon Hunters to participate in the Grass Trial?"

William smiled and explained, "You may not understand that you are a wild hunter. Becoming a witcher also requires talent and resources, and each branch of the Beast School generally does not have more than ten people, and the only Beast School Witcher who participated in this Grass Trial was me and Inili. ”

Li Ang suddenly nodded and said, "Okay, then let's try to be together." ”

However, he knew very well that even if they could get together in the early stage, they would soon part ways, because his route was specially made by Catherine the Saboteur.

Seeing that Leon didn't mean to touch the glass of ale at all, William was about to move for a long time, and finally said with a little hesitation: "Leon, this glass of wine ......"

Li Ang suddenly realized and pushed the wine glass over: "You drink, I'm not thirsty." ”

The secret demon hunters in their hearts are really a group of poor ghosts.
