Chapter 189: Accepting the Commission
The squire led the mount to the stable.
The group walked towards the castle hall.
Compared to the last time I visited, Windsor Castle was a lot more deserted.
But there was no sign of panic or numbness, and the broken walls were restored.
"Tell me more about this commission. ”
Bowel sighed: "The white-maned bat demon appeared in the vicinity two months ago, first missing some domestic animals, then homeless people and refugees, until a month ago, the white-maned bat demon even began to attack Windsor Castle in the open. ”
The White-Maned Bat Demon is recorded in the Demon Illustrated Book, where he learned it in a course of demonology taught by Dante.
And the Daredevil can't be seen during the day.
The white-maned mant, a subspecies of vampires with the same intelligence as humans, is not as afraid of sunlight as the night demons.
"Windsor Castle doesn't look like it's been attacked now, and it stands to reason that the white-maned batdevils are a subspecies of vampires, and they should be more difficult to deal with than the night demons. ”
The Daredevil is stronger than doubling its strength in the dark, but at the end of the day, the main attack is still through minions, and acid is only a secondary means.
Patriarch of Constantinople......
In the past, the Patriarch of Constantinople was also called the Ecumenical Patriarch, and his status was even comparable to that of the Pope.
And they are also good at using blood magic, except that they can't disguise themselves as humans, white-maned bats are definitely more fierce than genuine vampires.
"Since the last Daredevil," explained Berval, "Princess Calulina ordered the craftsmen to melt a batch of silver arrowheads, soak them in holy water made by the Patriarch of Constantinople himself, and make them into holy silver. ”
Li Ang frowned slightly.
Bolwal suddenly asked a little nervously, "Is there any problem?"
But in the Middle Ages, the situation took a turn for the worse, and the current patriarch was even personally promoted from among the court eunuchs after the Eastern Roman Emperor deposed his predecessor.
Even the holy water made by such a patriarch is effective?
There aren't many demons that silver can restrain you, but vampires and werewolves happen to fall into this category.
But that's not to say that they can't touch silverware at all, as bards say.
Leon shook his head and said, "You're doing the right thing, the white-maned bat demons are vampires, and silver can indeed inhibit their ability to regenerate. ”
But he didn't know if the holy water was useful.
Speaking of which, Bolwal was also a little anxious.
The Earl of Iskar himself had taken most of Windsor's manpower, and with all of them dead in Lithuania, Windsor Castle was left with almost an empty shelf.
Instead, the silver inhibits their powerful regeneration ability, similar to the "critical damage effect" often seen in the game, reducing the rate of health regeneration.
"Windsor Castle has been saved, but the surrounding villages and towns are at the mercy of the monster, and we simply don't have enough manpower to protect them. ”
Bolval was annoyed: "Some villages and towns have even discussed moving away en masse, but where can they go? ”
Leon smiled: "Don't worry, I'll fix it as soon as possible." ”
Princess Calulina's situation as Countess of Windsor Castle had just taken over was a real headache for the mistress and guardian knight.
Leon nodded: "The white-maned bat demon flies faster than the night demon, coming and going like the wind, even if you have the Holy Silver Arrow, it will be difficult to get it." ”
In fact, it is no coincidence that two mid-sequence demons appear in one place in a row, but since Windsor Castle is the home base of the Earl of Iscar, this coincidence can be understood.
Obviously, both the Night Demon and the White-Maned Bat Demon are inextricably linked to Count Iskar.
Unlike when he first dealt with the Night Demon, Leon not only had the Sky Overlord of Rhaegar at his disposal, but also had a lot of long-range attack methods at hand.
Moreover, Lorgar also has the ability to stay in the air for a short time, and it is indeed not a problem to solve a white-maned bat demon.
At this moment, they had entered the hall.
Princess Calulina, dressed in black dress, is crouching in front of the desk to correct documents, changing her charm like a fairy in the past, as if she can only have fun.
Bowel said, "It's better to put your own safety first." ”
Although he believed Leon, since Leon also said that this demon was more difficult to deal with than the night demon, he was no longer as optimistic as he was at the beginning.
"Bolvar, I hope you bring back good news. ”
Calulina said without looking up.
Even the lights and candles in the hall are much less than the last time they came.
In fact, I can understand her approach, after all, Windsor Castle was not her thing before, so she naturally did what she wanted, but now it has become a place for her to settle down, so she naturally cherishes it.
Li Ang bowed slightly, "It's an honor to meet Your Highness." ”
"I was just passing by to take a look, but now that I heard that there is work to be done, I can only brazenly receive a bounty from Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
"Your Highness, who do you think I'm bringing back?"
Caluliana looked up, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face: "Knight Lyon, Bolval actually invited you back, it's really a surprise." ”
Four hundred and fifty gold coins is indeed a lot of money.
Leon smiled, "Thank you for your generosity. ”
"Of course, no problem, as long as you can get rid of that monster as soon as possible, I'll give you half of the bounty I was supposed to give to that liar. ”
Bowa whispered, "The bounty originally scheduled for that witcher was three hundred gold coins. ”
"Of course, no problem, we'll get to work right away. ”
Kalulina said apologetically, "I'm sorry for this rudeness, but the situation is really bad to the point of 100,000 people. ”
I couldn't help but wonder if the money was plundered back from Lithuania by Count Iska, it was simply shrimp and pig's heart......
Kalulina said, "There was supposed to be a banquet for your arrival, but this time the situation is urgent, what do you think about postponing the banquet until you kill that monster?"
"Okay. ”
Leon and Lorgar walked out of the hall, he looked around and suddenly said, "Actually, have you ever wondered why Tyrone happened to run into a trap when he went to hunt the white-maned bat demon?"
"It doesn't matter. ”
She added: "Knight of Leon, if you have all the requests, ask Berval to mention them, and he will help you unconditionally. ”
I've only heard of humans colluding with vampires, but it's unheard of to be associated with something as obviously a monster as the White-Maned Bat Demon.
"Yes, but no one says that a ghost must be a human. ”
"There's an inner ghost?"
Luo Jia was a little incredulous, the white-maned bat demon was not the same as a vampire, and the most obvious difference was ugliness.
An ice lump fell from under the eaves and shattered into a cloud of blood-red ice crystals.
"One...... Bats?"
Leon said, clenching his palms under the eaves in the distance.
Click-
"The bat followed us all the way, and although we didn't notice anything unusual about it, there was no doubt that there was something wrong with it. ”
"No wonder Tyrone overturned, it turned out that the monster had already seen Tyrone's movements. ”
The witchers of the school are not as good as the wild hunters, they are often experienced in many battles, and they are not easy to overturn.
