"No, it screamed several times. I felt like the howl of a wild wolf."
"Interesting. Does this kind of thing usually only happen in the early morning?"
"Yes, it was around early in the morning, and now three villagers have died.
"But when someone goes out in a group at night, just like those mercenaries go out together, they will be fine."
"Are there any other clues? For example, where are the bodies of the deceased? Can I take a look?"
"Master Dick, people near us say that the deceased will be cursed after being sucked by Monster. If the corpse is intact, it will turn into a monster after death, so the family members have burned those corpses."
"Well, then this matter is a bit difficult to handle."
"Then... Master Demon Hunter, Master, will you accept this commission?" the boss asked cautiously.
"Of course I took it. But what's the price?"
"How about 50 Kelang,50 Kelang?"
"This was put together by the nearby folks and me."
"Okay."
"Then Master Dick, you should stay here today, right?"
"Why do you say that?"
"Because Monster will only appear around early in the morning.
"By the way, one thing I forgot to mention is that every time Monster attacks, the people they attack are drunk. They are all drunkards."
"I understand, help me get a room. As for the money for feeding the horses and my food before?"
"No need. You have free food and accommodation for these two days, as long as you can get rid of this monster."
"This monster is so abominable! Since its arrival, the income of my hotel has been reduced by half, and I am also worried every day, fearing that it will break into the door while I sleep."
"Okay, deal."
Dick began to think secretly again:
He likes to attack drunk people because drunk people are unable to resist.
But it doesn't dare to attack a group of people who are fully armed, which means that this Monster is very bully and afraid of the strong.
But if it is Monster, the lone person does not have to be drunk. Monster can easily kill an ordinary person. Why does it specifically pick out drunk people?
Blood, drunkenness...
Dick had an idea and looked at the boss again. "Prepare a bottle of wine for me, any wine is good."
"Okay, Master Dick."
Although the boss didn't know what the demon hunter in front of him was going to do, he readily brought over a large bottle of wine with an iron bottle cap.
At this moment, the door creaked open behind him, a gust of cold wind blew over, and the door was closed again in an instant.
Dick turned around and saw a muscular man wearing animal skins with a bow behind his back.
He walked directly to the bar, glanced at Dick, and didn't look much further.
Then he looked at the boss and said, "Prepare some food for me, but no wine."
"Brown, how was the hunting harvest today?" the boss asked while working.
"Hey, forget it, I didn't catch any prey."
"Don't be discouraged. Maybe we can leave tomorrow. Why don't you have a drink in this weather?"
"How can I be lucky? I don't need any more alcohol. I've given up drinking these days."
"Brown, it really surprises me to say something like this from your mouth. You used to be an alcoholic."
"I'm not interested in drinking anymore, I have higher pursuits."
When the boss heard this, he sneered and without saying much, handed the tray with some side dishes to the hunter.
The hunter took out a handful of coins, then found a corner to sit down, and took a knife and fork to chew the food in front of him.
"I told you to keep your fucking voice down and disturb us Black Cat Mercenary Company, and you will suffer the consequences."
A man at the table behind the hunter stood up with a harsh voice.
But combined with his full head, it looks a bit funny.
Dick Take a look, isn't that the Black Cat Mercenary Company guy he beat up during today's competition?
There are about 10 people from the mercenary group in this room, sitting at two tables.
When Dick was eating before, these people were completely silent.
The hunter named Brown just raised his head and glanced at these Black Cat Mercenary Company without responding, and continued to eat the food in front of him.
When the men around him saw this, they burst into laughter.
The man from the mercenary group who had just stood up turned red with embarrassment and wanted to teach the hunter a lesson.
At this time Dick said, "Don't make trouble here."
The man turned his head and looked at Dick. He was about to get angry, but when he saw his pair of cat eyes, he suddenly remembered that he had just been repaired today.
Then he sat down without saying a word.
The rest of the mercenary group around them stopped talking and just stared at their wine glasses, as if flowers were about to grow on them.
"Thank you, Master Dick." The boss in front of the bar whispered, "Do you want to rest now? I will take you up."
"Okay."
Then the two came to a room on the second floor. After Dick entered, the boss walked out the door. "Master Dick, I will call you when the time comes."
Dick nodded, and then the door was closed.
The witcher did not sleep, but sat on his knees on the bed and began to recharge his batteries.
Of course, he only considered getting the use of 500 Energy Points.
Previously at Hot Spring Village, in order to complete the commission, the accumulated Energy Points was used to upgrade [Magic Trap].
And this time it quickly accumulated to 500 Energy Points.
For these 500 Energy Points, Dick decided to specifically upgrade [Swordsmanship] and [Mind Shockwave].
Even if you save Energy Points in the future, unless there are special circumstances, you will only consider these two items.
Without much hesitation, 400 Energy Points on the panel disappeared instantly, leaving only 100, while Swordsmanship was promoted from [Professional Level] to [Elite Level].
Then, Dick had many more insights about Swordsmanship in his mind.
After upgrading to [Elite Level], Dick realized many shortcomings of using Swordsmanship before.
This not only improved my Swordsmanship skills, but also improved my reaction to on-the-spot performance, which can be regarded as a comprehensive and substantial improvement in all aspects.
If you think about it carefully, if you were to compete with Fisher in Swordsmanship, you could easily defeat him even if you suppressed your strength.
I don't know how long it took, but I heard the knocking on the door, opened my eyes, Dick felt relaxed and full of energy.
After preparing the weapon, he opened the door and found the young waiter outside.
"Master Dick, my father is old and can't bear to stay up late, so I came to call you."
"What time is it, young man?"
"It's half past 11 o'clock. In the past, we would hear the howling of wolves between 11 and 1 o'clock. Master Dick, is it too early to call you?" the young man asked cautiously, for fear of offending the demon hunter in front of him.
"No, the time is just right. You don't have to go out for a while, just give me directions at the gate of the hospital."
"Okay, Master Dick."
The two of them arrived at the gate of the courtyard. The young man pointed to the path to the left and said, "It's a three- to five-minute walk ahead. The three fellow villagers died on the road ahead. Please be careful."
