The person who knocked on the door was——
"Guest, guest, hello."
A completely nondescript witcher.
Although I don't know why, so far, all the witchers I have seen wear monster leather armor, carry a large number of potions in their belt pouches, and everyone has a beard with jagged canine teeth.
And, scars.
Of course the difference may be that some of them wear hats and some have messy hair...
All in all, the demon hunters probably have some strange standard equipment blueprints that allow them to build their own equipment, right?
But having said that, the demon hunter in front of me is a little more civilized in my eyes - at least relatively clean, and he doesn't look so bitter and hateful.
The middle-aged demon hunter frowned slightly and said: "You really can't tell what you look like... I didn't expect the boss to be so young. It's really beyond my expectation."
I was slightly stunned.
What this witcher said was a bit inconsistent with what I imagined he should say, or it could be said that it was completely confusing.
Since I had no idea what his intentions were, I simply said nonchalantly: "Actually, children from poor families have already become the masters."
"Ex-boss, did something happen to you?" The middle-aged demon hunter looked calm.
So, now that he has mentioned his ex, I now know how to deal with it.
"Actually, I want to travel."
The middle-aged witcher looked at me with a frown, as if he was considering something.
Seeing his slightly hesitant look, I had no choice but to sigh and say: "How should I put it... In our industry, we occasionally do stupid things. If the stupid things go too far, we have to get out." It’s time to travel to avoid the limelight. But whatever you leave behind, you have to consider passing it on no matter what.”
He sighed.
"Yeah, I'm overthinking it."
After walking from the door, he looked around for a week and then said slowly: "The most important reason why I came here today is that I want to borrow your channel."
My heart skipped a beat.
Although I am the boss now, seriously speaking, I don’t have that kind of channel.
But saying so clearly betrays the truth.
"Let me tell you what it is for now. If it doesn't violate my principles, you can help me find it."
Because the first level of identity was exposed, the enthusiasm for hospitality was instantly replaced by indifference.
"I need you to help us find someone." The middle-aged demon hunter hesitated slightly and said, "That guy..."
"What kind of person?" I frowned slightly.
It's really puzzling that the witcher is looking for someone.
After all, their enemies are nothing more than demons.
They do whatever they can to hunt down demons, and sometimes even use civilians as traps, so they are also a troublesome existence for the managers of various countries.
If you have to say it, the main reason why they have not been subject to any major restrictions is that they have followed the current trend of human beings being hostile to the demons.
If such unscrupulous people existed in peaceful times...
The most important difference here is whether it affects humans.
unless--
“Want to fish?”
"No." The middle-aged demon hunter looked a little impatient, "This person, no, I'm not sure yet, but this person is definitely very important."
"What specifically? Give me a reason."
"This is not something I can bear."
I curled my lips and said, "If you don't tell me the information, according to normal principles, I can't tell you."
"No, this time it's very-" He finally sighed. , "Did you call me here because you had anticipated this situation?"
I stepped aside and invited him inside.
After he sat down, he hesitated and said, "Although this kind of thing sounds shocking, it may be true."
"Someone is hiding the demons."
I raised an eyebrow trying to hide my shock.
I actually hide the demons here, and I have close contacts with the big shots of the demons. There is also a hellhound upstairs who is just waiting to die.
But - apart from me, is there anyone hiding the demons here?
Can anyone in this world break the hatred and accept the demons?
I squinted my eyes slightly.
merchant? or it could be······
The so-called noble XP that is highlighted in some games?
But these things wouldn't make the witchers attack in such a large force.
"Isn't it an ordinary person who can let you treat him like this? What kind of harm does he do?" I frowned slightly.
I was relieved after realizing this.
"He is studying demons."
My face twitched unconsciously.
Studying demons isn’t the point, right?
If I'm not mistaken, studying demons is actually done by various human empires and the Holy See.
Especially the Holy See, it’s been hundreds of years...
I didn’t see any demon hunters going to attack the tower either.
"He is studying how to become a demon, and so on."
--ha?
"This research..."
If it's just to borrow power for pure research, then that's it, right?
only--
This is outrageous in the world.
Whether from a human or demonic perspective, it is difficult to find ethical reasons for forgiveness.
If I had to say it, this is a bit like the characteristics of a demon hunter.
[Any means necessary to achieve the goal]?
"Wait a minute, this isn't the work of the people you funded, is it?"
After I realized this, I looked at the middle-aged demon hunter with a little doubt in my tone. However, this switch was followed by an astonishing silence.
I narrowed my eyes slightly at the unspeakable absurdity of this.
"In that case, I can come and help."
"Thank you very much." The demon hunter seemed to find it really difficult. "That guy is unusual. Although he is not a professional, our demon hunters guarding him have not sent back any news for three months. It has probably been They were killed, but I can't figure out how they killed the experienced master demon hunter."
He opened his mouth, as if he had something to say, but in the end he shook his head and said: "At present, we can only confirm that he probably has not left the city. In addition, this is his detailed information."
He took out a weathered-looking record magic stone and handed it to me.
"In any case, it's better to be careful."
Record the magic stone.
"Has a master alchemist actually joined the demon hunters?"
"Yes." He replied, "The alchemy potions we use are also improving. Thanks to the master, our hunting has become easier."
"I will remunerate you later based on the difficulty of your commission."
"Entrustment -" he spelled out this unfamiliar word with some difficulty, "I know, the price won't be too low, those guys from the demon clan have collected a lot of money over the years."
