A moment later, in the main castle hall, Dick had placed Ivan's head on the table, surrounded by several people, all of whom were senior executives of Witcher Order:
A middle-aged man as strong as a black bear - Beier of School of the Grizzly Bear;
Master, the cheap master School of the Lynx, and several warlocks.
Dick also saw a thin man wearing a hood behind them - Warlock Apprentice Alexander.
Alexander cautiously glanced at Dick for a few times, then lowered his head.
Dick didn't bother to talk to him. He glanced at him and turned to the other people who were arguing about Ivan's execution.
"Now it seems that many nobles in Northern Kingdoms are very dissatisfied with what we demon hunters have done before. Ivan's death was just the trigger of this incident." Beier spoke slowly, with a loud voice.
"Vesemir doesn't know about this yet. Geralt is not here either. Do you want to write a letter to tell Vesemir?"
The old warlock Aode suggested. He is nearly four hundred years old this year. His face is as skinny as tree bark and his hair is sparse. His appearance is actually very kind.
"Vesemir knows what to do, he still won't come back. I think it's enough to let him know about this when he comes back. Anyway, he usually doesn't want to deal with these things."
This is Ali, the warlock from School of the Grizzly Bear. He is over three hundred years old, with a shiny bald head and bulging chest muscles. He appears to be much more energetic than Aode.
I don't know if this warlock was also infected by the School of the Grizzly Bear demon hunter, which is why he grew so strong.
"I agree with Ali. I will let Vesemir know after he comes back. Moreover, we demon hunters should be more careful when doing things in the future and don't just draw swords and kill people." Master said slowly.
"As a School of the Lynx demon hunter, if I remember correctly, several disciples of your faction have the worst attitude towards the common people and nobles." Beier joked, "Ruiwen why didn't you come? Isn't it over yet Trial of the Grasses?"
"Trial of the Grasses just started last night, how could it end so soon? Old man, you are laughing at our School of the Lynx Trial of the Grasses's low survival rate again." Master also laughed and cursed.
Dick stood aside without saying a word, just quietly listening to the discussion of a few people. After a while, he felt bored and began to wander into the world, until...
"Dick, what do you think about this matter?"
Seeing the eyes of several people looking over, Dick said seriously, "We must first determine whether what happened this time was the instruction of Queen Meve. Although Prince James's attitude is also very important, the person directly responsible for our Witcher Order is Queen Meve after all."
"I want to know too, but Queen Meve is still leading an army wandering around Jatu Plains. It is said that he has defeated a Jatu warlord. There is no other news." Beier was slightly helpless,
"But don't worry too much. [The Slayer] will invade Northern Kingdoms in the future. At that time, the [Berserkers] under his command will still need us Witcher Order to deal with. Even if Prince James and other nobles are hostile to us, they will not be stupid enough to take action now.
"Let's do this. I will tell the other demon hunters later that they should not go out if they have nothing important to do after returning during this period. We will wait until Master Queen Meve returns to the court. Then I will go to Ravenstern City to meet her in person."
Dick's words were just an introduction to the medicine, so everyone discussed it again. Even the other warlocks except two veteran warlocks participated in the discussion, and finally decided like this.
After that, Master and Beier went directly outside to announce their decision to the other demon hunters, while Dick stayed behind to communicate with the two warlocks.
Before leaving, Beier added, "As for Ivan's relics, you can keep them."
"Dick, are you interested in Alchemy?" Aode's old face was full of surprise.
"Yes, so I hope that we can learn more about Alchemy before Crown Festival comes. After all, the current situation is not good for the demon hunters, and it is always good to learn more."
"Okay, okay." Ali praised, "Of course we agree to this request, but we still have to wait until you lead the team to help the young demon hunters complete the mountain experience. You are only twenty years old, so don't be in a hurry."
"I will lead the team?"
"Yes, Master discussed this matter with us yesterday. You have to know that even after Trial of the Grasses, the death rate of the little demon hunters in actual combat training is really too high. Although this is the tradition of the demon hunters, we two old guys always feel that if these little demon hunters make mistakes, you can give them some guidance, and the outcome of their lives will be very different."
"Aode, I'm not old." Ali on the side emphasized, then turned serious, "There are much fewer monsters in this continent now than fifty years ago. In fact, we have been training little demon hunters for a long time. Is it really necessary for High Mountain Trial to exist?"
At the end of the sentence, Beier let out a long sigh.
"Is this considered a monster hunting commission?" Dick asked.
"That's right!"
After bidding farewell to the two of them, Dick went directly to the blacksmith shop outside the main castle. The two disabled demon hunters were still busy repairing and forging armors and weapons.
Seeing this, the demon hunter with a broken arm smiled and said, "Dick, what's the matter?"
Dick took off the silver sword from his back and placed it on the workbench. He dug into his pocket and took out a Dragon Tear Gem and placed it next to the silver sword.
"Oh!" The broken-armed witcher took Dragon Tear Gem in amazement and caressed it lovingly. Until Dick became impatient with the waiting, he wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with some nostalgia.
"What a good thing. Many noble families use Dragon Tear Gem as family heirlooms. How did you get them?"
"After completing a commission for someone else, he gave this Dragon Tear Gem to me." Dick lied casually, "Can you let me integrate the gem into the silver sword?"
"That means your employer must have suffered some kind of disaster. You have no money left. The price of Dragon Tear Gem is immeasurable. Are you sure you want to incorporate it into the silver sword?"
"I'm sure."
"Well, you don't need one Dragon Tear Gem for a silver sword. Half of it is enough.
"I see there are two swords behind you. You can choose another one. After integrating that Dragon Tear Gem into the steel sword, both the steel sword and the silver sword will cause almost indiscriminate damage to monsters."
Dick thought for a while, and first took off the steel sword that Ivan had, and then took off the black sword that was used to kill the wolf.
The demon hunter with a broken leg on the side also came over, took a look at the hilt of the Ivan steel sword, and said directly, "This should be the relic of the School of the Coyote demon hunter."
"Yes."
"Well, his sword is very ordinary." The broken-legged witcher took it out and looked at it, "Choose the basic materials carefully to maximize the effect of your weapon."
