The study room is not dark.
The candlelight illuminated the study room like daylight.
Naturally, it also showed the figure of School of the Cat demon hunter Kiana standing in front of Prince Adrian, carrying two swords.
"I thought I had made my request very clear."
Prince Adrian did not go to see Kian.
His eyes fell on a square wooden table in front of him.
On that wooden table, there was an exquisite city model that had been shrunk countless times.
That was the capital of the Sea Cat Dynasty, but now it is regarded as their capital by the Redania people.
That city is called Tretogor.
"Things have changed." Keyan said in a low voice.
Prince Adrian looked gloomy.
"Change? Are you telling me that you can't deal with students who can't even catch a few chickens, and old men who are buried up to their necks in dirt?"
Kian shook his head. "No, it's that guy Grogg. He hired a new demon hunter with his own money."
Kian's words finally attracted Prince Adrian's attention.
He looked over.
"Your companion?"
"Yes."
Prince Adrian took a deep breath.
"Can you think of a way to win over him?"
He has money.
There is plenty of money.
Although compared to other princes, he did not have a large territory to inherit, nor did he have enough vassals to fill an entire hall to swear allegiance to him.
There are no hordes of wives and concubines waiting for him to favor him.
But even so.
He is still a prince.
If possible, he even plans to give Keyan a long-term and stable contract after the commission is over.
Let Keyan, the School of the Cat demon hunter, only kill people for him from now on.
Keyan shrugged.
"It's hard to say. He is not School of the Cat. Demon hunters from other schools have a stubborn problem."
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"They wield their swords not just for money, they have their own bottom line, and that bottom line cannot be measured by money."
"In this case, it's a pity. We can only find a way to prevent him from hindering us." After saying that, Prince Adrian made a gesture of wiping his neck.
This time Kian nodded.
"Yes, but this is an additional price. Killing a demon hunter is much more difficult than killing a dozen ordinary people, and my reward will be doubled."
Prince Adrian didn't even blink. "I'll pay you twice as much, but things must be done beautifully."
Now that the matter has been settled, there is no need to stay here anymore.
Kyan planned to turn around and leave.
"Wait."
Kiyaen, who had already reached the door of the room, stopped when he heard this.
"Wait until that old guy Grog digs out all the valuable things before you start, do you understand?"
"I invested so much money in them. What I want is the treasure in the elven ruins. Their heads are just secondary targets."
"As for your colleague, find an opportunity to deal with him as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams."
When the team set off again the next day, Kiyaen found Lynn specifically and expressed his apology to Lynn with a serious look on his face.
He bluntly said that the Trial of the Grasses he accepted was incomplete, so he could always hear sounds that others could not hear.
The sounds were torturing him.
Often asking him to do very terrible things.
He has been trying his best to resist.
Sometimes he had the upper hand.
But sometimes they are temporarily defeated.
Just like yesterday.
And now he has recovered.
Therefore, he hoped that Lynn would not hate him because of what happened yesterday.
Seeing that Keyan spoke so sincerely.
Lynn also generously said that the past is in the past.
To outsiders, the two of them immediately seemed like brothers.
But after Kiyaen left, Lynn's face gradually turned cold.
"Huh, that sounds like the truth."
What Keyan didn't know was that Lynn not only knew what he was about to do, but also knew about his tragic fate.
Late the next night.
The moon illuminates the grassland white and bright.
There is a camp in the middle of the grassland.
Fences for simple protection were erected around the camp.
Although these fences are simple, they can at least provide some basic protection capabilities.
In the center of the camp, the campfire was burning brightly.
A circle of tents was set up around the campfire.
Everyone was lying in the tent and fast asleep.
There was only one person walking around outside the camp.
He is the School of the Cat demon hunter in charge of the night vigil-Kiayan.
Even without using Cat Potion, a demon hunter can see more clearly than ordinary people on a moonlit night.
"Calculating the time, it should be almost time. It's so late, even the witcher should be asleep."
Prince Adrian asked him to get rid of another witcher who was traveling with him.
Even if the other party doesn't ask, he will do it.
Because except for School of the Cat, no demon hunters from other schools would agree with what he did.
Therefore, since his final mission is to eliminate all the insiders after discovering the treasure, he must remove the stumbling blocks that hinder him.
Through yesterday and today, Keyan observed and discovered that the School of the Wolf demon hunter who calls himself Lynn never eats food from the same pot as others.
He only eats what he brings with him.
This will make it easier for Kyaane to start.
During dinner, he secretly added some ingredients to the big pot.
Of course it's not poison.
But it will make other people unable to wake up like dead pigs.
Although he is very confident in his own abilities.
But before starting to take action, just to be on the safe side, Keyan drank a potion that could further enhance his abilities.
Then, he applied a layer of poison on the sword.
In fact, School of the Cat is not good at making toxins and poisons. This is what School of the Viper, another college sect of demon hunters, is good at.
But just because he can't make it, doesn't mean he can't spend money to buy it.
In Novigrad, as long as you have money, you can buy almost anything.
According to the merchant who sold it to him, the poison came from a place far away from Northern Kingdoms.
That was after crossing the Tir Tosha Mountains, in a wild and hostile land called the Koraz Desert.
Under that yellow sand, there are too many poisonous creatures.
This poison is extracted from the bodies of those creatures.
It only takes an instant for the attack to occur. The other party will first feel paralyzed and lose control of their body.
Then lose your life in a very short period of time.
You won't even feel the pain.
After making all the preparations, Kian walked towards a tent in the camp.
Not long after, he stood in front of a tent.
This tent is the tent where Lynn sleeps.
"Don't blame me, fellow man."
Keyan muttered something softly.
Then he stabbed it mercilessly.
