The Journey of the Demon Hunter

When another soldier was leading the carriage towards the storeroom, Zelin raised his hand, and the rune of the Yaxifah seal appeared in front of his fingers. "Tell me, what did the mayor tell you?"

White light enveloped the guard's head, and his eyes immediately became dull. After learning about the mysterious power of this world, he began to use his seal with confidence, and he didn't need to continue to be cautious.

When the guard with the carriage came back, he only saw his companion sitting in front of the guard's cabin, looking at the sky with unparalleled eyes. As for the delivery man, he had already disappeared.

"Hey, what are you looking at?" He walked to his companion, stretched out his hand and waved in front of him.

"Uh... the sun is good." The companion pointed to the sky. "I'm a little sleepy. I want to go to sleep."

The guard raised his head and saw a large cloud just blocking the sun.

"You really need to sleep."

Chapter 711 Grandet

The effect of the Yaxi Faseal was not as good as Zelin expected, but it didn't matter. He had done a lot of things, but not everything needed the help of the Fashin.

After walking through it once, he almost figured out part of the road in Long Lake Town. Moreover, he didn’t need to know much about the town to go to the town hall. He just had to stare at the tallest and most gorgeous building and walk past it. .

After almost a large circle, Zelin walked to the square in front of the town hall. After getting a general understanding of the town, the demon hunter realized how ridiculously empty the place near the town hall was. The people nearby were all crowded in houses of only 30 square meters. In order to live in more space, the houses had to be built with two to three floors. The area near the town hall, which is specially vacated for the mayor, can accommodate at least more than 20 households. Not to mention the spacious and comfortable town hall where only the mayor lives.

"Stop!"

The guard at the door saw Zelin walking straight forward, and immediately stretched out his hand to stop him, "The mayor is..."

"Working diligently inside, working hard for the lives of the townspeople?" Zelin folded his arms and half-squinted at the guard standing in front of him. This guard looks very young, maybe just twenty years old. "Still working hard, suffering from rheumatic pain and reviewing official documents? Do you need me to pick a few more words for you? You're welcome, it's free."

"However, my duty is to guard the gate and not allow..."

"Anyone who is hungry, tired, tired, or in need of help is not allowed to go in and ask the mayor for help? Of course, I don't think anyone will come to ask for help now, anyway, it's useless, right?" Zelin again The guard unceremoniously interrupted the words, "Do you still need me to help you think about some rhetoric? For example, as soon as the mayor hears someone approaching his house, his leg will hurt to death and he can't handle official duties at all. Can't drag his old leg to count his gold?"

"I... uh, this is my duty, sir." The guard stood by the door and shook his head.

At this time, Zelin heard a very deliberate cough. He turned his head and looked around, and saw that Alfred was deliberately pulling his collar with both hands, dragging one leg and swaying over like a rheumatologist.

"The mayor is very busy now. He wants someone to interrupt his meditation." Alfred walked to Zelin and coughed heavily. "Now Lord Alfred is here to act with full authority. Are you here to get paid? You want to listen to me." The flattery pointed to his nose. "If you want to get the money, just be obedient, listen to Lord Alfred, understand?"

Zelin glanced at him, then looked away again.

"Your duty is here, guard."

He patted the guard on the shoulder, then walked straight over. The guard seemed to be stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, it happened to face Alfred.

"Hey, stop, the mayor won't let anyone in."

The flattery's eyes widened, almost choked by the guard's words.

"You actually stop me? How dare you talk to Lord Alfred like this?! Believe it or not, I will let..."

Regardless of Alfred's yelling behind him, Zelin shook his finger, and the heat wave in the hall corridor was blowing, logs were burning in the fireplace, and the desk beside him was empty. He didn't find the mayor on the first floor of the hall, but he noticed an opened door, and the wooden staircase stretched all the way to the bottom of the town hall. The demon hunter walked along the stairs, and halfway through, he saw the mayor. There is a torch nearby. Although the fire is faint, a golden light shines in the entire basement under the reflection of a pile of golden jewels.

The mayor is staying in his basement, counting the property inside.

"The elf asked me to say hello to you, Mayor." Zelin folded his arms around his chest, looking at the mayor who was immersed in the inventory, and did not notice the mayor who walked in.

The mayor was obviously taken aback by the greeting, he turned around abruptly and stared at the demon hunter who suddenly came in.

"You, you are the freight clerk! Who allowed you to come in!?"

"This is the second time you have asked this question, Mr. Mayor." Zelin stretched out his hands. "Can't you change to a more meaningful question?"

"You broke into my office privately, you are committing a crime!" The mayor waved his hand fiercely, "I want the guards to arrest you immediately!"

"Listen well, immediately let your guards prepare weapons and equipment." Zelin raised his hand, and the faint light of Yaxifahin resurfaced again. "Let all the soldiers go to the entrance and commanding heights of Long Lake Town. All of the archers were ready, and the soldiers assembled and told them that there was an intruder."

Of course, anyone knows that the ultimate goal of the job he received is to let himself die in the hands of monsters. As if he understood Aiden's mood. But there are more important questions before him. The orcs and the wolves, the demon hunters have helped the dwarves escape the pursuit of the orcs, but obviously the orcs will not give up just because of a small failure in the dense forest, Zelin I don't know how powerful the orcs in this world are, but what is certain is that the encounter in the dense forest is just a trivial skirmish.

If the orcs continue to chase the dwarves, they will sooner or later cross the town of Long Lake between the dense forest and the lone mountain. However, judging from the guards in Long Lake Town today, there is no need for the orcs to send an army, just a few orcs riding the wolves and leading a group of orcs to destroy the entire town and kill everyone inside. It's not how strong these orcs are, but the town doesn't have much defensive power at all.

Zelin would not be indifferent to knowing that the people in the town were about to be in danger but being indifferent.

"My lord, my lord! Are you okay!"

On the stairs beside him, before he saw a figure, he heard Alfred's cry. However, it is not easy to run like that rheumatic appearance. When I stepped on the stairs, I suddenly didn't stand firmly, and rolled down the stairs with a croak and whine.

"The person who broke in didn't hurt you?" The flattery straightened the felt hat that was crooked down to block his eyes, bending over and asking the mayor with concern. But here, he didn't see the demon hunter who walked in first.

"Um... Alfred?" The mayor looked at his assistant in confusion. "Where are our guards?"

"Do you want me to summon the guards and the captain of the guards to catch those people? Is it Bud or the deliveryman, or did they catch them together?" Alfred grinned, showing a black tooth behind." I will do it now."

"What are you talking about, Alfred..." The mayor was shocked, and then jumped up all of a sudden.

Chapter 712 Prophecy

As for Zelin, the number of gold jewels in the mayor's basement is indeed very attractive, but he can tell which matters are most important. It's the afternoon, and the people in the town are still busy, fishing, choosing vegetables, selling blankets, or lining up in front of the market to buy the latest batch of catches that have arrived in the town.

The river divides the town like a grid, but it cannot block the sound like a real wall. Cries, noises, and conversations are endless, and the colder and colder weather can't make it quiet here. Fortunately, at least there are no flies and annoying mosquitoes buzzing all day long. In winter, the insects can disappear. Perhaps this is the only benefit of the cold.

Zelin was not in the mood to count how many surveillance gazes he had encountered along the way, or the townspeople who followed sneakily but pretended to be interested in blankets and ceramic pots. If it was the past, he would be happy to find trackers from the crowd and enjoy their performances as a fun to pass the time. But knowing that there is a group of dangerous creatures less than a day away from Longhu Town, these things are not fun at all.

When he returned to where he was staying, Zelin found that the barn, which seemed spacious because there was no furniture, was crowded with people. These dwarves stayed here one by one, with the barrels left on their bodies. The smell of alcohol, but most of it was the fishy smell of lake fish, and the body was wet. Obviously, Bud's method of transporting the dwarves into Long Lake Town was not very comfortable. Bud is distributing blankets for warmth to the dwarves. The weather is cold, the river outside is frozen, and the wet body makes it easy for people to get sick.

"You are back. I thought the mayor would make things difficult for you." Bud put down his blanket and moved his shoulders. "I saw some soldiers running towards the town hall. I thought something was wrong."

"Something happened, Bud." Zelin opened his hands. "Didn't our dwarf friends tell you? Orcs, there are orcs in the dense forest on the other side of the lake. If they want, they can reach Long Lake at sunset." Town. I warned the mayor that there are a lot of orcs, a detachment, maybe more."

"Orcs? It's been a long time since there have been any orcs here." Bud frowned. "They disappeared from here longer than the dwarves had left the Lonely Mountain. The mayor would really want to let the guards go to defend the town instead of letting the dwarves leave the mountain. They helped to escape with the treasure? I looked at him with admiration."

The archer walked out and said to Zelin

"Please, come and help."

They walked down the storeroom stairs, and a wooden boat stopped on the water. Zelin noticed that there was a rope tied under the canoe, and something was hidden under the boat.

"But I don't think these guards in Long Lake Town can deal with the orcs." Zelin squatted down and pulled out a long strip of canvas wrapped in canvas with a rope. "They are too few in number, orcs. There are many and there are wolves."

Although the orcs have little physical advantage compared to humans, the townspeople here have no combat experience, weapons and self-defense. They are defenseless when facing the orcs.

"Wait a minute, you come to visit these dwarves and don't let them run around. I'll tell the others." Bud looked at the street across from him. Gather, but are you sure those orcs will really enter Long Lake Town? The water of the big lake can resist evil, and they won't want to come near here. Long Lake Town has nothing that the orcs want."

What is wrapped in the canvas should be some modified weapons. The touch of metal is very clear, but the appearance of the weapons is very strange. Some looked like a harpoon, some looked like a blacksmith's hammer, and some looked like a small boat anchor tied to a wooden stick. Under the mayor's ban, Bud could only make some of these weapons.

"I don't know." Zelin shrugged. "I don't think these dwarves have what the orcs want. They have nothing. You even provided them with the blankets on them, but the orcs attacked them in the forest. Can’t think of any reason the orcs would attack a team of dwarves who wanted to explore the Lonely Mountain in search of treasure."

The effect of Yaxifah's seal is not very good, otherwise he can try to make the mayor declare martial law in the town and distribute weapons, but he can at least alert the soldiers here before the orcs arrive in Long Lake Town. Zelin noticed a taller guard tower near the town hall with a ballista mounted on it. Unlike the ballista in Zelin's impression, it may have other craftsmanship and styles, but as long as there is a soldier on it, the ballista can directly attack any enemy who tries to break into the town from the long bridge.

Forcibly reversing the thinking, this is the principle of the influence of the Yaxi Fayin, but this is not purely spiritual magic. The Fayin can last for a period of time, but it will not be too long. However, the mayor can only maintain order and prevent the town from falling into chaos when the town is attacked.
