A New Commission

"Endure the pain!"

"Ah!"

The screams echoed through the ruins.

The young knight looked pale, with veins popping out on his face.

No wonder the knight couldn't help shouting.

Salt is used to pickle the wound to remove the toxin called "Vigo" by the witcher, and the high temperature is used to stop the bleeding. The pain of torture is gone.

But this is the emergency method to deal with wounds caused by demon spirits.

Although you can also use holy water offered to the gods, or ask the priests of the righteous gods to help treat it, it is definitely more gentle.

It's a pity that the wound on the young knight's back is so big and the blood is flowing profusely that he may not be able to wait that long.

Vesemir took back the dagger glowing with hot red light.

"Okay, just find a place to bandage it, there won't be any side effects."

"Thank you, Your Excellency Vesemir." The middle-aged knight said gratefully.

Unlike Bowen, who joined not long ago, Fago has not only been his team member, but also followed him to complete many tasks assigned by the king.

Fago is still the younger generation of the family, the child of his eldest sister.

When Serio saw him being chopped to the ground by the monster in the battle just now, Serio's heart almost stopped. He was afraid that something might happen to Fago, so he had no face to go back and face his eldest sister's sad expression.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged knight helped Fago, tilted his head and said:

"Thank you too... um..."

"My name is Ailin."

"Thank you too, Ailin... If it weren't for you, Fago would definitely be dead by now." The middle-aged knight thanked him sincerely.

Fago was also sweating and pale, and weakly nodded to him with grateful eyes.

"You're welcome. Didn't you just come over and help me block a sword?"

Ailin was a little uncomfortable with the sudden change in the middle-aged knight's attitude.

"On the battlefield, we should help each other, and based on the strength you have shown, I am just the icing on the cake."

The middle-aged knight shook his head, stood up straight, and said seriously:

"Ailin, I am Serio Coyle."

"The Coyles owe you a favor."

Then, the middle-aged knight nodded to Vesemir, and he and Bowen were about to support Fago and walk toward the exit of the ruins.

What the witcher said was true.

They came to the ruins of the castle to drive away the demons, not to harbor them.

Naturally, there was no need for the few knights to risk their lives and stay any longer.

Witchers are monster experts, they're... just knights.

"Wait a moment, Captain Serio, I have something to ask." Bowen suddenly said.

"Do we need to avoid it?" Serio was stunned for a moment, but did not show any surprise.

Bowen shook his head, looked at Vesemir, and said:

"Witcher... Your Excellency, I heard you just said that these monsters should not appear in the daylight, right?"

Vesemir nodded and said, "This is my experience."

"So this situation is not natural? Is it because the wizard cast a spell? Or did Viscount Hudson summon the evil spirit?" Bowen asked.

"Hudson summoned evil spirits?" Vesemir asked in surprise, "Why do you have this guess?"

As a northern country with orthodox belief, summoning evil spirits is fatal to a noble's reputation. Even rival families would not use this excuse to tarnish each other's reputations.

Because if you are not careful, it will lead to endless aristocratic war.

so.

This is not a conjecture that can be talked about casually, let alone listening to the previous conversations between these knights.

This knight named Bowie is also a member of the same race as Hudson.

Serio and Fago looked surprised. They had never heard of this matter, and they did not understand why Bowen would let them hear this news.

Bowen thought about it for a moment and said:

"This is not a guess, this is the result of the investigation by the palace wizard after the Viscount Hudson family was suddenly buried in a sea of fire."

"It's just that the elders in the family are not convinced."

"Although I don't know Viscount Hudson, the elders believe that Viscount is an upright person and cannot summon evil spirits."

"And they calculated the time. Given the kingdom's administrative efficiency, the investigation results came out too quickly, which is too suspicious."

"It's just because belief in evil spirits is a huge stain on the family's reputation. If the king insists on this, it will harm the interests of the family, so there has been no in-depth investigation."

After a pause, Bowen raised his head, glanced at the people around him, and then said:

"Serio Captain must have guessed that I was sent by the family to test the king's attitude and see if we can take back this fiefdom. In addition, after such a long time, the elders in the clan also want to know the truth of the matter."

Serio·Coyle listened with no expression on his face.

He regretted not leaving directly before.

The highest ranking members of the Coyle family are just a few barons, most of whom do not yet have fiefs.

The reason why he was able to join King's Guard was based on his status as a swordsman champion, not his family background.

It is true that one should not get involved in power disputes involving great nobles, kings and wizards.

At this time.

He should just leave without listening to anything, and then report what happened when he goes back.

The next thing is none of your business, just hang it up high.

What's uncomfortable is that although the Coyle family is not a vassal of House Val, many of the territories of the two families are very close to each other.

Especially Serio's father's territory is only separated from House Val by a small river.

Therefore, after hearing Bowen's words, Serio could only curse in his heart, but pretended not to hear anything.

Bowen didn't care, sighed, and then said sincerely:

"Your Excellency, Demon Hunter, I didn't want to reveal such news at first, but I can see that you and Viscount Hudson have a really good relationship, so I told you the truth."

Fortunately, he was only testing the king's attitude now.

Originally, he planned to find time to visit the ruins of the castle alone.

Fortunately he didn't.

It was enough for him to fight against a demon spirit. Think about the scene after entering alone.

Scalp numbness.

"School of the Wolf adheres to neutrality..." the school's slogan has not had time to finish.

Bowen said quickly:

"I just want to entrust you to help eliminate the monsters in the castle, and then tell us the source of the monsters. It does not violate the neutrality principle of your school."

"And we are willing to pay a bounty of 1000 Oren for this commission..."

As he spoke, he quickly took out a money bag from the leather armor on his chest, poured out a shiny silver metal block, and handed it to Vesemir:

"This is five marks of pure silver, worth five hundred Oren, which is considered a deposit.

Vesemir still intends to refuse.

"Promise, Master Vesemir."

Ailin moved his mouth slightly and tried to dissuade him in a voice that only the demon hunter could hear.

So.

Vesemir glanced at Ailin vaguely, and after hesitating for a moment, he took the silver bar.

Bowen smiled broadly, and when he saw Vesemir looking embarrassed, he said nothing more and was about to help Fago leave.

His eyes suddenly glanced at Ailin's pair of blue and clear Cat Eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he asked:

"By the way, Demon Hunter Ailin, how old are you this year..."
