The King of Knights

In the afternoon, Britain’s royal city is still full of energy. After two years of planning and rebuilding, the city ended its previous chaotic zoning and ushered in its own regular division.

Lucifer divided it into several districts based on his experience of the modern city. Except for the military district and the royal palace, all other areas are only divided by streets, and their new names are also given.

The nascent Ilousir district, which is not known as a commercially developed area, is famous for its preference for adventurers. This is the area with the most adventurers in the royal city, so there are many buildings such as taverns.

In a tavern called ‘Bonfire’, many adventurers are drinking while bragging to the people next to them about their recent encounters. You may even hear a lot of news here.

Suddenly, the door of the tavern was opened, and a middle-aged man with white hair with scars on his face walked in. He was dressed in leather armor and carried two different swords behind him.

His entry made several tables near the gate glance at him, but only subconsciously glanced at it, and then continued to brag about each other.

This reaction made the man named Geralt a little strange, he had spent some time on the French side before, but the people there did not see him as such a ‘friendly’ disregard.

However, it is better to ignore it, he was originally ready to eat. Now it’s more in line with his heart. He came to the counter and saw two other clerks greeting customers, so he looked for the last man who looked young.

As soon as Geralt sat down, the clerk named Jeni asked with some curiosity.

“Demon hunter?”

He has been here for more than a year and has heard many miscellaneous stories. This also includes the Demon Hunter. These people are said to be experts who specialize in dealing with inhuman monsters. Of course, in Jiemin’s heart, the king’s knight is an invincible existence. In front of these knights, no matter who or monsters are, they are garbage.

“Just call me Geralt and give me a beer.” Geralt said his name. He has now adapted to the situation in this country to some extent.

People here feel more curious than afraid of him, which makes him feel good. At least not as a monster.

“Good eye! Our beer here is not the first in town, but at least it is definitely ringing in this area. And there are many varieties to meet the tastes of different people. Geralt, what kind of cup are you going to have? ”

“A lot of variety? Since that’s the case, come and have a cup of your most famous here. After thinking about it, Geralt ordered one at random.

After a while, Lord Jeni took out a large glass of wine from behind.

“Okay, Hakuba. Have a drink, have fun. Saying that, he took the drink and put it directly in front of Geralt.

Geralt looked at the wine in the glass, and he realized that this thing seemed to be really high-class. Most of the drinks he has drunk before will have some impurities, the color is very blurry, and the aroma of wine is not as strong as this glass.

This glass of wine made him feel a little better when he failed to hunt down vampires before.

“How much?” He picked up the cup and prepared to drink it all.

“Four silver coins!”

“Poof! How much? ”

Hearing this number, Geralt spewed out the wine he had just drunk. He almost thought that he was being treated like a fat sheep, or that the people here saw him as a demon hunter and deliberately played with him. But after a while, he found that the other drinks seemed to have the same price.

That said, this thing is really that expensive. In Britain, where twenty silver coins equaled one gold coin, the price of this beer was certainly somewhat outrageous.

“Four silver coins, no bargaining, no friendship, no credit. This is the three no’s principles of our store. Jeni patiently wiped the drinks on the table, his expression very calm.

“It’s so expensive!” Geralt sighed a little.

Although he is a little tight now, it is not that he can’t afford to give money. It’s just that he sincerely thinks that spending four silver coins for a drink is a bit extravagant.

“Our great king used to say, you get what you pay for. The cost of this glass of wine is not cheap, and if you have a tight hand, there is also a copper coin stream wine here. ”

“I just found out that you don’t seem to be afraid of demon hunters.”

“Why should we be afraid of demon hunters?”

Jeni’s rhetorical question stumped Geralt instead. Yes, why are they afraid of demon hunters? Geralt only remembered this question now, do they need to be afraid? But if you are not afraid, why did those people who saw him before see him one by two like a ghost?

Or is it that what monster is just his own delusion?

Geralt was a little unsure.

“I’ve been to many countries before, and most of them look at me like a monster when they see me. But since coming to this country, I have rarely seen such eyes. ”

“Of course, you are now in the land of knights ruled by the great knight king. But if you say monster things, you’re far behind. Castle! Come and see, show you a new friend, your wine is ready. Jeni waved and shouted into the distance.

Geralt also looked into the distance, and he suddenly found a big guy in his line of sight.

“Jeni is calling me! You guys don’t move my cards, I’ll go get the wine. A man nearly three meters tall stood up in a chair, put down the cards in his hand and walked to the counter.

After arriving at the counter, Jeni introduced Cassel.

“This is Geralt.”

“Oh! Hello, Geralt. Castle touched his head and said.

“Hello!” Geralt suddenly felt a little pressured.

The person in front of him should obviously be a person, but he has a fight with the ogre he fought before.

“See, if you want to be called a monster, at least you have his physique.” Jeni said with a smile.

“I still like it when you call me big, as Wang used to call me. I like the title very much. ”

“Give, big man.”

“Ah! Do you guys still have chivalry, and you dare to peek. ”

Shouting, Cassel ran back to where he was sitting with a few glasses of wine. They continued to play cards there.

“His name is Cassel. He had been seen as a monster before, but since he once held back the burns of the flames and moved the stake, saving four people. No one sees him that way. Even the king who passed by at the time praised him as a qualified knight. There were many more such things, and gradually, everyone was also influenced by the king and learned to see him from the perspective of his virtues and character. Jeni said calmly while wiping his cup.

Now in this country, many people worship Lucifer very much. So unconsciously, Lucifer’s words and deeds in public also affect the country. If someone else said those words, many people would probably just be a joke, but Lucifer’s words, they took it as their creed.
