From Demon Hunter to Lord of the Empire
Chapter 072
Chapter 72: Ace and House are scared
Sward asked Lan incredulously: “Lord Count, is this duchess too…”
Ace also asked Lan incredulously: “Lord Count, are the officials of Towcent all too…”
Rann gave them a blank look: “Is this what you should say?” ”
The two attendants hurriedly bowed their heads and confessed.
House obediently stepped forward and poured Rann a glass of wine, followed by Geralt.
Smelling the refreshing aroma of wine, Geralt sighed: “The Duchess and the officials here… How is it all like this? ”
Lane also sighed and said with a headache:
“On the plus side, that’s why we’re allowed to come to Towcent at this time, and to be entertained.” ”
Lane knocked on the door, asked the butler for a map of Bowland, beckoned a few people to surround him, and ordered.
“Seriously: you all know, I’m here to find the lab of a mage named Thomas Moru, and I need the results of his experiments on the second mutation of the Demon Hunter, as well as the magical treasures in his lab. ”
Everyone nodded, this was something they had known for a long time.
“According to what I have learned, Professor Moru has an experimental log in addition to the laboratory, which should be carried close to him, and may have been brought into the grave by him, and I also need to find it.”
In order to save time as much as possible, I plan to divide the army into two ways-”
Lane thought for a moment and began to point people.
“Ace. The arrow attendant looked up.
“House. He stopped pouring his hand.
“You two take four sword guards—no axe and hammermen, and the bombs left—to search Bowland’s graveyard. ”
Lan said cautiously: “I only know that he is buried in Bauklan, I can’t say exactly where.” This job is not very decent, so you rest during the day, go out at night, be smart and don’t be seen by too many people, and leave it to you. ”
The two attendants nodded.
“As for us,” Lan looked at Geralt and Sward, “we’ll meet up with Uncle Mossack’s druid friends tomorrow and set off for the Valley of the Nine.” Don’t drink too much alcohol at today’s dinner. ”
“Yes! Schild replied loudly.
House and Ace looked at the time and asked, “Lord Count, then we are now…”
Lan ordered: “Go pick someone, then eat, rest for a while.” ”
The two nodded yes.
Schild smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll bring you some dinner wine for you!” ”
The two who were about to go out each punched their sword attendants, and were about to open the door, but suddenly heard a knock on the door.
House glanced at Rann and stepped forward to open the door. The butler’s face appeared in front of the door.
“Lord Count, there are visitors coming to the door. ”
“Visitors? House said slightly angrily, “No post, just come directly to the door?” What is this! ”
Lann didn’t stop House from getting angry, and only after he finished did he wave his hand slightly to make him take a step back and ask, “Who is the visitor?” ”
The butler bent his waist down a few degrees and said obediently: “It is Baron Palmelin de Langfol and Baron de Perrac Perrin.” ”
“I don’t know them. Lane shook his head, “Are they in a hurry?” ”
The butler explained, “Looks like so. And…… It seems that they do not want to visit you, but as if through Lord Earl to know this – Mr. Geralt. ”
Four pairs of eyes looked at Geralt.
“I don’t know them either. The demon hunter explained expressionlessly.
Rann was a little interested: “Then let them in, I want to hear what they are doing with Geralt – if Geralt you don’t mind.” ”
The demon hunter shook his head indifferently.
Two knights walked in, each saluting Rann and greeting Geralt.
Silence ensued.
According to Bowland’s chivalric tradition, the four were silent for ten heartbeats.
“Good day, Lord Count, and Mr. Geralt. A knight said, “We have something we would like to entrust Mr. Geralt.” ”
He turned to the demon hunter and said, “This has something to do with your profession. ”
Jellote nodded: “Say it.” ”
The two looked at the three attendants, even Lan, with embarrassed expressions. It seems difficult to say.
“The Earl of Lannister is my employer, and it is impossible for me to accept your commission without his permission. Geralt said very directly, “If you two really have an emergency, please do it as soon as possible.” ”
The two knights looked at each other awkwardly, made a few more breaths of mental construction, and said in a hearty manner: “It’s like this… That succubus… The demon that haunts the night is the one that the duchess and ladies ask you to destroy. Can you tell me how much it will pay to kill that monster?”
Geralt shook his head: “Sorry, gentlemen, I can’t reveal such details. ”
“We understand, understand. One knight said, “We are obviously dealing with a decent man. To be honest, I’m afraid that such people will find our proposal an insult, but I have to say –
Please abandon this contract and don’t hurt that poor succubus. Swear by my honor, we have many more men than women in Towcent. Your generosity will blow your mind. ”
The demon hunter said coldly: “Your proposal is indeed not far from insult. ”
“Mr. Geralt. Another knight added, “It is said that you only kill those monsters that are threatening, real threats. And that succubus didn’t threaten anyone and didn’t hurt anyone. Oh, she is going to be every now and then… Visiting a sleeping man… Let’s do some little pranks…”
“But only for adults. Another knight added.
Geralt expressionlessly refused again: “I will not tell the Duchess or any other lady about this, but please go out.” ”
The two knights seemed to want to get angry and arguing, and seemed to remember something, and looked at Rann rather jealously.
The corner of Lan’s mouth twitched, and he forcibly gestured to House expressionlessly: “Call the housekeeper and ask the two barons to go out.” ”
The two barons reluctantly left.
Watching the two go away, House and Ace suddenly asked curiously: “Mr. Geralt, do you really intend to kill that succubus?” ”
Geralt gave them a strange look and explained, “Generally speaking, succubi do not suck blood or kill, and there is no malice, but occasionally there are ‘unusual’ situations. So I will find her first and decide the means based on the results of the investigation. ”
Lan was also a little strange, these two attendants usually did not care about demon hunting.
“This… Actually, we want to ask you, we don’t want to go out at night. I thought about how we would get along if we met a succubus—I mean, how would we judge whether she was good or bad, and how would we protect herself? ”
The two attendants had solemn expressions, but the corners of their mouths twitched slightly, their breathing was rapid, and their fingers and body were twisting a little uneasily.
Lan was expressionless: “You two get out too, now.” ”
