Then he opened his mouth uncontrollably, lowered his head and vomited. The filth was scattered all over the floor, and an unpleasant smell wafted out.
The smell of undigested wine and food, the mercenary's blood and the smell of feces mixed together, this tavern was like a human being Hell.
Not to mention Russell and the mercenary on the side covered their mouths and noses, Dick quickly stood up without leaving a trace, instantly dodging the attack of vomit.
Regardless of this atmosphere, stand still and think about how to deal with this matter:
Logically speaking, Ivan did kill these six mercenaries.
If he didn't have the status of a demon hunter, he could have been sentenced to death by hanging.
However, Russell was just standing by to protect his companions and did not commit murder.
Therefore, Russell is completely innocent.
This is not the first time that a witcher drew a sword in a tavern after a disagreement. However, the status of witchers is indeed higher than that of ordinary people. In the past, this kind of thing was always taken lightly.
At most, you'll lose a little money.
At present, among the demon hunters, except for [School of the Grizzly Bear], which has an excellent reputation among the people, [School of the Coyote] has a good reputation.
And [School of the Lynx] has a very poor reputation among the public.
When he came out with Fisher before, his attitude clearly stated that he wanted to judge the matter fairly, and Fisher represented the opinion of Odin III.
Although Odin III is only a baron, he represents the position of the noble Northern Kingdoms.
Although Odin III is not in the castle at this time, if Ivan is let go because of his identity as a demon hunter, it will be a blow to Queen Meve's face.
So this incident is just a confrontation between nobles and demon hunters.
If it is not handled satisfactorily, it may cause irreparable gaps in the relationship between the two parties.
In this case...
Why should I draw fire to myself?
Dick secretly thought, can I ask the demon hunter to pay some Kelang to the opponent, and then bring Ivan back to Witcher Order for processing, leaving this problem to the leaders of the three sects.
When the time comes, let Witcher Order communicate with the nobles again.
The mercenaries and demon hunters should jointly compensate for the damage to the tavern caused by these fights. This should be considered a solution.
Little people must have the awareness of little people. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility.
Then he looked at the bar. "Boss, come out, it's okay."
An old man in his 50s emerged from the bar tremblingly, "Master Dick, I knew you were coming, but I thought you..."
"You thought we would fight again, didn't you?" Dick smiled,
"The matter is over, don't worry. I will handle the compensation for the tavern later. Now you clean up the place first."
"Okay." The boss agreed and gently kicked the two waiters behind the bar. "Get up and start working."
Two young men got out and started cleaning the scene with cleaning tools.
They carefully removed Ivan's vomit, but they did not dare to touch the bodies of the mercenaries.
He also took away the broken plates and bowls.
Of course, the broken tables and chairs were just moved to the wall of the pub and piled up.
After doing this, several people ran back to the bar and squatted down.
Dick shook his head helplessly and looked at the mercenary. "It is indeed our demon hunters who made a mistake in this matter. I will compensate you for your losses on behalf of [Witcher Order].
"And those who have committed crimes will be taken to Witcher Order to be punished. Do you think this is okay?"
"Then how much Kelang can you give?"
"How many Kelang do you need?"
This group of mercenaries was originally a group of desperadoes, but the mercenary in front of them only temporarily lived together with other mercenaries and had no feelings.
After hearing what Dick said, the mercenary was overjoyed. He suddenly felt that the demon hunter in front of him was so easy to talk to, and wanted to blackmail him again:
"Then I want 50 grams, no, 100 Kelang."
"Deal." Dick said without changing his expression.
Then he quickly took out 100 Kelang from his pocket and handed it to the other party.
Of course, he will reimburse the money to [Witcher Order] afterwards.
The mercenary secretly took a selfie of his thigh, feeling a little regretful. He should have ordered more if he had known better.
But it's too late to say anything at this point.
Just as he was about to take the money, the door of the tavern was pushed open again.
The leading young man walked in wearing a fiery red robe, with a neat mustache, and holding a golden staff.
And behind him are the rest of Witcher Order.
"Wait a minute, you can't accept this money," the man said.
"Who are you? You care about me!"
Seeing Dick take back the money bag, the mercenary felt regretful:
Just a little bit, just a little bit worse, how can the lives of these companions be compared to Kelang?
With this 100 Kelang, I can live a luxurious life for a while.
"I am Archbishop Duncan of [Eternal Fire]. I passed by this place by chance and heard your discussion outside the door.
"I don't think this kind of thing is handled properly, Demon Hunter." Duncan looked at Dick.
"What? You are the Archbishop of [Eternal Fire]? Why are you here?" the mercenary asked in surprise.
"It's just that Queen Meve's brother Prince James came to invite me to preach."
Dick instantly searched for memories about the [Eternal Fire] sect.
After a moment, he suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Archbishop Duncan could open the door without hesitation, and the people Witcher Order behind him also vaguely took him as their leader.
Because the faction [Eternal Fire] is too powerful.
It is rooted in the subordinate countries of the Bacchus Empire and the southern countries. Even Long River City of Sarleon has members of the [Eternal Fire] sect.
[Eternal Fire] is committed to using the holy fire to purify all evil in the world, and often helps people slay demons and cure diseases for free, which is completely different from the fees charged by demon hunters, so it has an excellent reputation among the people.
And they were also one of the main forces that defeated the Noldor Elves army decades ago.
Since then, Noldor Elves has basically never taken another step towards Noldor Jungle.
Although it is a sect, it is a huge force that cannot be ignored. No wonder Duncan is so proud.
"Oh, Archbishop, what do you think should be done?" Dick asked.
"Deal with justice." Duncan said righteously, "Since this demon hunter killed someone, he must pay the price according to the law."
"Then it's not enough for us to take him back to Witcher Order and try him personally?"
"Not enough! You demon hunters are rooted in Ravenstern, so you must obey the laws here, otherwise the laws will become a piece of paper, and you will become a privilege."
Dick did not look at the archbishop again, but looked at the people behind him with questioning eyes. Three demon hunters and a sorceress all shook their heads slightly.
"Then follow the laws of the empire." Dick muttered slightly, "Since Ivan killed someone, the local sheriff will handle the matter."
"This matter should have been handled by the local sheriff. But he is a demon hunter after all, and his status is different from that of ordinary people.
"So it's very difficult for the local sheriff to deal fairly with this issue."
"I suggest that he be sent to Ravenstern City and Queen Meve handle it personally. Do you think this is okay?"
