Soul Echo

"Zhong...ye?"

Balmer chewed on the two odd syllables and pronounced it like a name, but he had never heard the pronunciation Such a weird name.

As an Ancient Family that has inherited for more than two hundred years, the Austrian Mu Family is naturally not comparable to those 'upstarts'. The background and inheritance not only make them have high requirements for the family heirs, but also have high expectations for the family heirs. The same goes for the demands of deacon and even minions.

Balmer, as the deacon of the Austrian Mu Family, does not have the habit of looking down on others, and his temperament does not allow him to do that.

So, even if a seemingly rude and arrogant guy appeared in front of the castle gate, he decided to take a look for himself.

——What if I don't know it?

Following the soldiers who came to report, Balmer walked outside the castle and saw the man who called himself 'Zhong Ye'.

This is a... adventurer?

Even the handsome appearance and strong presence can't hide the breath of Zhong Ye who has endured the hardships of a long journey. As a deacon, Ballmer needs to master many skills, 'knowing people' ' is one of them, not 100 percent accurate, but close to 80 percent accurate.

On the matter of judging a person's identity by first impression and follow-up observations, Ballmer considers himself the first place in all deacon of the Mu Family, plus humility and cultural literacy Not low, the lord gave him the task of negotiating with outsiders.

After taking a few glances at Zhong Ye, Ballmer asked softly, "I wonder if you are looking for our honorable fief lord, do you have any business?"

"' Xiyong's lake' is your family's caravan, right?" Zhong Ye took out the contract from his backpack, "I have something I want to ask your lord - it's about human trafficking."

Balmer was about to extend the hand to take over the contract, when he heard the second half of the sentence, his mouth pursed tightly, his movements remained unchanged, and he took the contract from Zhong Ye.

His eyes flicked over the contents of the contract, landing on the signature and date at the end of the contract.

The time is today, the signer is 'Mark Federer' and the seal is indeed that of 'Lake of Hiron'.

The system is correct and complete. The adventurer who calls himself 'Zhong Ye' seems to be the 'partner' of the caravan.

Balmer took a breath, lifts the head, and said sternly: "The 'Lake of Xiyong' is indeed a caravan under the Austrian Mu Family, but there is no such thing as 'human trafficking', if you Hearing this from other places must be fabricated!"

"This is what the person who signed the contract said." Zhong Ye replied calmly.

Balmer eyelids twitched, and quickly returned to the original, said solemnly: "The Austrian Mu Family is strict and does not allow the existence of human trafficking transactions. This must be the private behavior of the following people."

Zhong Ye raised his eyebrows, "Don't you suspect that I'm making things up?"

Is it really an adventurer? Otherwise, why would you like to mess around so much.

Balmer took a deep breath, shook the head, "Your temperament is very special, and ordinary people can't have a temperament like yours, so I don't think you should be lying."

>

After a pause, he continued: "We will send someone to investigate this matter. My lord is troubled by the assassination incident and has no time to receive guests. Please come back."

"In a sense," Zhong Ye suddenly laughed, "my identity is equivalent to 'demonhunter'—you should know what a demonhunter is, right?"

"...when, The demonhunter has hired Easterland people too?"

A flash of light flashed through Ballmer's mind, reminding him why he had previously thought those two syllables that sounded like names were strange - they were names , just the name of the Easterlanders!

Hundreds of years ago, when the exchanges between Xilu and Easterland were still quite frequent, many Easterland books flowed into Xilu, and there were several translations in the library of Chillon Castle, which Balmer once translated. Seen.

In addition to Zhong Ye's facial features that are different from those of the Westerners, Balmer thought of this at once.

"I became a demonhunter not long ago, probably more than half a month ago!"

Before Balmer questioned, Zhong Ye said first: "You should know What kind of work does the demonhunter do? You can ask the clergy of the Church of the God of Business to confirm my identity, even if it is a priest or a bishop.

"I want to meet your master, Just to fix what happened in Montreux. "

Balmer was silent, and he looked at the tall man in front of him again seriously.

"...Please wait a moment." deacon sighed, took a step back, bowed slightly and saluted, "I'll report to the master right now, but I want to explain in advance that the master will not necessarily meet you. "

"I'll see him." "Zhong Ye said with a slight smile.

Balmer turned around and entered the castle through the side gate. Several soldiers guarding the gate of the castle were either puzzled, or looked at Zhong Ye curiously, as if they were watching something strange. The same - for them, the 'demonhunter' that only circulates in the story is indeed a rare thing.

Not long after deacon entered the castle, Lilian couldn't hold back her doubts and asked: "teacher, when did you join demonhunter? "

"Lied to him. "Zhong Ye didn't want to cover up his voice, just like in daily communication, let a few soldiers listen to this sentence.

As expected, after hearing this sentence, several soldiers Just like Lillian stared wide-eyed.

Zhong Ye squeezed his chin, and said to himself without anyone else: "However, the name 'demonhunter' is quite useful, and I can use it more in the future. . ”

Several soldiers looked at each other, feeling their minds were in chaos.

Would you like to... run in and tell Ballmer deacon now? Or just take a gun and this intention The madmen who deceived their lord to fight?

The idea is just an idea, several soldiers did not put it into action, just as they hesitated and struggled, Balmer walked out of the castle again came out.

The first thing Ballmer did when he came back was to salute and apologize: "I'm so sorry, Master doesn't want to see you. "

Then, he was shocked to see Zhong Ye move his neck and shoulders and strode towards him.

Zhong Ye put his hand on Balmer's shoulder, patted , looked sideways at the deacon and grinned.

"I said I would see him. ”

With a slight force on the arm, Zhong Ye pushed the deacon away and took Lillian into the castle.

Deacon and the soldiers were stunned until Lillian smoothly closed the side door After putting it on, Balmer realized that his face became extremely ugly in an instant, and he turned his head and whispered to the soldiers on both sides: "Stop him! Go and stop him! "

A few soldiers woke up like a dream and hurriedly pushed the side door, but no matter how hard they tried to shake the door handle, the door wouldn't open.

Look at it. I knew that the latch inside was plugged in, but these idiots were still pushing the door in vain.

Balmer's face darkened, and he scolded: "You idiots! Don't know how to climb over the wall? ! ”

Behind the gate is the forecourt of the Castle of Chillon, which separates the forecourt of the castle from the outside world. p>Several soldiers also reacted and hurriedly ran under the wall, one by one, pushing a certain soldier to the wall.

At this time, Zhong Ye and the others had already entered the forecourt of the castle.

The garden is close to the Castle Lord's body, and there is a fork on the left and right. I don't know where it leads. That's not what they need to care about.

Hearing the scolding coming from behind, Zhong Ye and Lillian looked at each other and smiled, then shook their heads and walked straight to the castle.

Upstairs, there was another gate blocking him, Zhong Ye calmly drew out his straight knife , inserted the blade into the crack of the door, and lifted it up suddenly, only feeling a little sense of block.

The latch had been cut off, Zhong Ye reached out and pushed it, and the door opened.

In the hall, a servant was cleaning the dust, and suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing, and the rays of light entered the hall, so he looked back.

I saw a tall man with a handle on his back. The man with the great sword walked in and immediately let out a scream.

The scream woke the ancient castle, and the sound wave continued to spread, startling many people.

Looking at the screaming servant, Zhong Ye pursed the corners of his mouth and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, where is your master? Can you tell me? "
