The Divine Hunter

  Chapter 25 The Secret of the Dwarf

   "The demon hunter does not mix politics." Resso made the decision for Roy in a word, and tore up the notice neatly.

  Roy did not intend to participate in the so-called parade, the atrocities of the revolutionary army robbery outside the city really disgusted him!

  Furthermore, no matter how the revolutionary army and the government army fight, civilians will always be the most hurt. He can almost imagine the civilians participating in the parade tomorrow, howling and being taken into prison by soldiers.

  One night passed, and the two arrived at Sevier Hogg's mansion in the early morning of the next day. As the guard entered the gate, the dwarf wine merchant who had been waiting waved away the guard and the maid.

  He lowered his head and gritted his teeth, clasped his hands tightly, extremely nervous, even walking back and forth several times in front of the two of them, and after a long sigh, he sighed.

  "Can you two give me a promise that I will swear that I will never tell anyone...no, including ancient races and any creatures that I will say later."

  Sevier suddenly raised his head, begging in his eyes.

  Resso and Roy looked at each other, and the dwarf dared to listen to their promises without any written words.

  Seville seemed to see the two men’s thoughts, "No way, I really can’t stand that monster... It’s the torture of the two called Sims, and I’ll die if this continues!"

  His eyes widened, and his pupils were full of bloodshot eyes. It seems that after the Demon Hunter left last night, he still hadn’t rested well.

   "And even if you make an oath, as long as the shot is generous enough, I don't think anyone will be tempted! I want a guarantee from you, just for peace of mind."

  He smiled bitterly.

  Resso raised his eyebrows like a knife when he heard that. As one of the few remaining members of the Viper School, his pride did not allow him to lie about this kind of thing.

   "Money can buy a lot of people, but it doesn't include the demon hunter!"

  "Before accepting the entrustment, you did not declare that we need to swear. The oath is by no means an ordinary guarantee. It entangles the power of fate like the law of accident, and fate is hard to violate."

   "So, the vow of the demon hunter will never be taken lightly!"

  Reso stretched out a finger towards the dwarf.

   "You have to add money!"

  After listening to the dwarf, his face twitched, but he was a little bit happy. The more solemn the performance of the Demon Hunter, the more credible he is?

  Roy stretched out 5 fingers on his stick when he saw the snake-snake stick, "50 crowns, um, as long as you pay one-half of Master Resso's, you can get the vow of an apprentice of the Viper School."

  The three hit it off. The total commission for the commission rose from 200 to 350 kronor, but it was completely affordable for the wealthy dwarf wine merchants.

"My Guleta's Reso swears by the reputation of the Viper Academy, that he will never reveal the secret of today's Lord Seville Hogg to anyone, ancient race, or other people, otherwise the gods will punish me and make me unable to live. See the moment when the school re-emerged."

   "I, Roy, swear to... Um... Goddess Meritelli, I will never reveal every word I heard from Your Excellency Sevier Hogg today, otherwise..."

  Roy neither believes in the prophet Rebbioda, nor does he believe in the goddess Meritelli, but his vows are not false, he will be tight-lipped.

  ...

Half an hour later, Resso and Roy followed Sevier Hawke into the master bedroom on the third floor. Resso first lit the fireplace with an Ignatius seal, and then lit four torches that were tall. Placed along the four corners of the dwarf’s bed.

  The whole bedroom, all corners are bright, and there is no trace of shadow.

  "Mr. Seville, please lie down on the bed now."

  The dwarf did what he said, and slightly nervously covered his body with a quilt, then Resso's voice sounded in his ear, "Now there are only three of us, you can tell your nightmare, that secret."

  The dwarf closed his eyes, his face was slightly distorted and looked a bit painful, and he began to slowly tell his story.

  "This is a story about my good brother Aken."

"Aken is from Redania. His father is a half-elf and his mother is a human. Yes, he is a quarter-elf destined to be born extraordinary in people’s mouth, so his appearance is no different from a pure human. ."

"He is a wise man. He often says,'Beverage will corrode people's sanity', so he doesn't drink. After coming to the Mahakam Mountains, he often advises me and asks me to learn from Broval Hogg His unremarkable nephew turned into a hot figure, and eventually defeated a number of competitors such as Zoltan Ziwa, and mastered Edsberg's liquor agency rights."

"He is my great benefactor, and he is also my good brother. But his character is not born to live under people for long. After following me to Edsberg, he soon had a new goal and left my team. ."

"Perhaps he had seen his father being abused and discriminated against by humans due to the elven blood in Redania since he was a child, and he never enjoyed a fair social status. He despised all injustice and discrimination from the bottom of his heart, and put it into practice. Take action and fight it down."

   "There is no doubt that the super high taxation of Aden is extremely unfair. Therefore, he used his wisdom to secretly gather all the civilians who were brave enough to resist."

"Regardless of race, regardless of the past, as long as you have a heart that pursues freedom and justice and has the courage to resist, you can join Aken's team and get free board and lodging. Of course, some of his funds are funded by me. Perhaps it is due to the Adenian blood. There are the seeds of revolution, and the team has grown very quickly, and soon reached the point where Baron Tavik had to pay attention."

"Edsberger has a fifth force besides the baron army, the civilians, the sparrow gang, and the dwarves of Mahakam. The original balance of power was broken, and the moderate baron Tavik opened up with Aken The negotiation was very smooth at the beginning, and almost everyone was satisfied with the negotiation. The tax on farmers and merchants was reduced by one-fifth. I advised Aken to stop, but he was not satisfied and calmed down for a while Then continue to put pressure on the Baron."

   "Oh, the Prophet said that'the anger of the honest man can burn the entire Mahakam.' The baron was angered by his decent behavior and issued a wanted order!"

   Hearing this, Roy's eyes shined brightly, he had already guessed the true identity of this Aken.

  "Aken secretly found me for help in order to avoid the search. As a good brother, I was obliged to take him in. I swear to the holy mountain that I hid him in the most hidden place in the entire Seville mansion."

  Roy and the Demon Hunter remained silent, as if unaware.

"The barrels in the basement are endless. Soldiers can search endlessly. What's more, I don't allow them to open the barrels and spoil my wine. The Baron dare not offend Mahakam's forces too much and let the soldiers do this. As it should be, they Aken was not found hiding in a barrel of dwarf spirits that was over sixty years old."

   "Aken is very safe..." Seville had a wry smile on his face, "Unfortunately, I missed one thing. He doesn't drink and has never drunk. The amount of alcohol is almost lighter than that of a newborn baby."

"When I went back to the wine cellar and opened the barrel, he unexpectedly...he was fainted by the smell of strong wine, lying flushed in the half barrel of strong wine, like sleeping in the past, but no matter how I called him wake up."

   "He's dead!" Seville sat up straight out of the bed, grabbed Reso's bear paw, blew his beard and stared, his heart almost jumping out of his chest.

"It's ridiculous! What a jealous talent! A wise man who doesn't drink alcohol died in my wine cellar. I dream of Aken every night. He came to question me why he murdered him with fine wine. Life. I failed his kindness to me."

  Resso felt a sense of absurdity after listening to the entire story, but the guy who was obviously not a drink died in the barrel.

   "I'm a bastard...I...I deserve to have a nightmare...I'm sorry for him! But I didn't murder him!"

   "Woo..." This dwarf with big panda eyes and big five big three panda eyes kept talking in a dream, and then covered his face and cried, just like a giant child, Roy couldn't help but twitch at the sight of it.

"Well, we know all the causes and consequences of the matter. Your Excellency Seville, calm down and follow us to the wine cellar to see the situation. According to you, the wine cellar is undoubtedly the place you fear the most. Not surprisingly, Sim It will show up there!"

"Ah? I... can't I just go?!" Seville shrank his body in a panic, his mood was very tangled, and he wanted to see this guy who had been entangled for several months, but he couldn't help it. Fear.

   And Resso pretended to think for a moment, "You are looking at us near the entrance of the wine cellar!

   "Give... the key... the key to you!"
