"Oh," Carter actually relaxed after hearing this, "You are Dick's master.
"I thought all demon hunters were as cruel as the two inside. By the way, Master Master, what do you want from me?"
Master's eyes roamed over Carter's body, and after a while he said, "You look like you have very good bones, and you can actually survive our demon hunters' magic potion."
"By the way, how old are you this year?"
"I, I am 10 and a half years old."
"Huh? He's only ten and a half years old, but his body looks like that of a twelve or thirteen year old. He's really good material. It's a pity that if he's over half a year old, it's a bit late, and the success rate will be much lower."
"What's the success rate? Master Master."
"Nothing, just do your best." Master patted Carter on the shoulder again and returned to the demon hunters.
When I opened the door of the tavern and looked inside, I saw a dilapidated scene:
The table was slashed with swords, the dining utensils were shattered on the floor, and the corpses of five or six mercenaries lay in the center.
Sure enough, as Dick expected, one of the mercenaries was slashed from the ribs to around the groin with a sword. Large parts of his organs spilled out, and even the feces in his intestines were exposed to the air.
Next to the corpses of these mercenaries, there was still a mercenary holding a sword and looking towards the opposite side. There was both anger and fear on his face, and the tip of his sword was pointed at the two demon hunters opposite.
On the opposite side, one of the demon hunters had an ugly scar on his forehead, and his appearance was sharp and angular. He looked like the turtle in the cartoon "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" that Dick watched when he was a child.
Dick knew that this was his senior brother Russell.
Next to him was a red-faced, drunken young man with black hair, sitting casually on a bench with half a leg missing.--Ivan of [School of the Coyote].
Russell originally opened his eyes wide and pointed his steel sword at the mercenary opposite.
But after hearing the sound of the door opening, he looked towards the door, and for a moment he showed a bright smile, "Dick, why are you here?"
"Russell, long time no see." Dick said with the same smile.
When he saw Russell, he could feel a clear sense of joy and pleasure in this body.
Even if the soul of the original body dissipates, the instinct of this body still remembers who was the best person to him at Witcher Order.
"I'm here to handle this matter. Witcher Order has given me full authority to handle this matter."
"You are also a demon hunter, how do you deal with this matter?" the mercenary shouted, "You are not here to help your companions, are you?"
"Please be patient. Although I am a demon hunter, I will deal with it impartially.
"Perhaps you have never heard of my name, but after resisting Jatu's attack a few days ago, Queen Meve, the master of our Northern Kingdoms, gave me the title [Dick of Rivia]."
"Oh, you are that Dick." The nervous expression on the mercenary's face eased slightly, and he withdrew his sword at the same time.
"Then you have to take good care of your companions. They are so wanton that they dare to come and attack me while I'm drinking."
"Who the hell are you for this wanton sneak attack?" Russell shouted, the veins on his neck and forehead stretched.
The mercenary on the opposite side saw this and raised his sword again.
Dick never thought that just these words from the mercenary would make Russell furious.
But then I thought about it, isn't this the character flaw after Russell Trial of the Grasses.
Slowly walked up to Russell and patted his shoulder gently, "Don't be impatient, Russell, leave this matter to me."
The latter took several deep breaths and finally nodded. As if out of sight and out of mind, he found a position with his back to a few people.
"Put down the sword first. I want to understand the whole truth." Dick looked at the mercenary.
"What's the whole story? Look at the bodies of my companions. They died miserably. They were all killed by that drunk guy alone.
"Of course, the Russell you are talking about is also helping out." The mercenary said inwardly, "And if you ask me to put down my sword now, do you want to take the opportunity to silence me?"
"I said you put down your sword now, do you hear me?
"I have the title given by Queen Meve, and I am not at the same status as you mercenaries.
"Now I can completely regard your behavior as a provocation, and then kill you without any worries, and you will not be punished. However,"
Seeing the mercenary's eyes widening and his mouth trembling, he changed the topic and said, "But I am a reasonable person. Yes, that's it. Put the sword back into the scabbard and let's have a good chat."
Then, Dick casually pulled a stool and sat down.
Next to him was the demon hunter Ivan who was still in a drunken state [School of the Coyote].
A few meters across were mercenaries standing, and among them were the corpses of fallen mercenaries.
"Now you can tell me the whole story, don't miss anything, otherwise... you know."
"Okay, I said." The mercenary gritted his teeth and said, "We came here this morning. It is said that there are Jatu bandits nearby recently. I wanted to accept some commissions, but first I need to fill my stomach.
"Then your two fellow witchers came here."
"Then what?"
"Then our captain fell in love with a dancer here and wanted to have a good chat with her and have a deeper discussion. But your drunk companion," he pointed at Ivan next to Dick, "Intervened to stop her."
"So you guys got into a fight, just because of this?"
"Yes, that's basically what happened. After that, your companion killed my companion after a disagreement."
"He lied, he missed something." Russell turned around and came to Dick angrily,
"Dick, you have to believe me, he didn't say something.
"Ivan found the dancer first to accompany him. Later, when the two of us were drinking, the mercenary captain came over to pick a fight and said, 'The demon hunter is nothing special. I just rely on myself to kill some monsters and bully others all day long.' This was the trigger for us to fight."
"So you missed something?" Dick looked up at the mercenary.
"Yes, I missed some.
"But in short, your companions also killed so many of us. Even if our captain is at fault, he should not have suffered this fate." The mercenary replied in a hasty tone.
"Then did the person next to me kill someone?" Dick pointed at Russell and asked.
"He didn't kill anyone, but when the captain wanted to kill another demon hunter, he blocked the attack."
Dick felt a little relaxed, but unexpectedly Russell was very measured.
He glanced at Ivan sideways again. At this time, the man raised his head and looked over with eyes wide open, pointing at Dick and laughing:
"Hahaha, isn't this [School of the Lynx]'s crane tail Dick? Why are you here to be a detective?"
