Chapter 054: An Invitation from Henrik
The ceremony was completed, and a faint red light rose into the sky.
"The guy who started the ritual is dead, and as long as you get a few infected beasts, this mission will be completely completed."
Henrik pulled out a pistol and waited quietly.
"Will there be many?"
"5 people, corresponding to 5 beasts, every time a beast is killed, while ending a life, the power of the ritual will extract part of the soul of the deceased, and then fuse with the soul of the beast and be absorbed by the caster."
"After absorbing this power, the corresponding beast will also die."
"Two people have been killed by wild beasts now, and if I'm not mistaken, there should be three left."
"Three?" Roger muttered quietly.
"He killed two of them himself, doesn't that mean ......?"
Soon after, looking at the beast that had come alone, Henrik blushed, "Maybe it was killed by other animals or hunters." ”
This reason was far-fetched even to him, and he leaned against a big tree at random, the muzzle of the gun moved, and the fire flashed.
A cloud of blood erupted from the wolf's forehead, and then he collapsed.
"Resolved." Henrik pretended to blow the muzzle of the gun.
"You called me over in the middle of the night just to see you shoot this shot?"
Roger looked at Henrik with a strange expression.
"Do you want to give me back the knife?"
Henrik held out his hand.
Jokingly, Roger kept his mouth shut.
"Ahem."
Henrik cleared his throat, and Roger knew that what he said next was probably the real purpose of this guy.
From last night to now, Henrik has behaved strangely towards him, a little too enthusiastic and caring.
It's like two people who want each other, but it's inconvenient to say it for various reasons.
There should have been at least three beasts in Henrik's plan, and he could let one of them go and test Roger's abilities a little.
In fact, last night's events made him have a crush on Roger, but what happened next ......
"You can see some ghosts, right?"
Without waiting for Roger to answer, Henrik continued: "Many years ago, the traditional demon hunter was not only a powerful warrior, but also a qualified spirit medium, although not necessarily very powerful, but it was still no problem to deal with some simple ghosts and demons. ”
"However, in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer demon hunters with corresponding talents, and gradually, the action has become collective."
"A standard team of witchers needs at least one demon hunter and a medium, the former for frontal combat, and the latter for gathering information to detect ghosts and then help at critical moments."
Henrik spread his hands helplessly.
"It's bad, I don't have the talent to do it, so ...... Some missions involving ghosts and evil spirits are now uncomplete. ”
Henrik gave Roger a look.
Roger turned a blind eye to Henrik's eyes, "The Hunters' Guild is so shabby, and it doesn't even give you all the important combat partners?"
"Ahem!"
"As we all know, the proportion of women in psychic mediums is very large, and several girls even fought with me for the application, hey...... I don't want that either. ”
"But it can't be helped, handsome mature men are like spirits, they always make young girls accidentally get on their heads."
Seeing Henrik feel good about himself, Roger couldn't help but pout.
This guy doesn't look like he has a good reputation no matter how you look at it.
"You want me to join you?"
"Join?"
"No, no, no!" Henrik shook his head.
"You are not qualified now, at most you can help me before the real spirit medium sent by the guild arrives."
"You want me to give you a free favor?"
"How so?" Henrik smiled.
"I'll take a cut of my paycheck, and with this money, you'll be able to buy a lot of new clothes for your little redhead girlfriend."
As he spoke, he gave Roger an ambiguous look.
After thinking about it for a while, Roger made a decision in his heart, "Keep me safe, and then get me one more thing, and I'll promise you." ”
"What's that?"
"Longsword, a long sword for demon hunters!"
Henrik frowned, "That thing is not easy to do, can you change it for something else?" ”
"A gun, for example?"
"I want a sword."
As a qualified demon hunter, you should have at least two swords on your body, right?
One on the back, one under the body.
Although Roger's main attack method now is the Elven Short Knife Technique, in fact, the general sword technique is the biggest improvement in physical fitness.
Only by raising his swordsmanship to a higher level as soon as possible could he start the next stage of his cultivation and reach the limit of his body as soon as possible to prepare for the Grass Trial.
After surviving the grass trial, he can be regarded as a veritable demon hunter, and by then, many magic seals should also be usable.
"Okay, I'll try to help you find it."
In the end, Henrik agreed.
"This weekend, there happens to be an anomaly in a nearby town that needs to be checked."
"Declare in advance, I can only see ghosts, and I don't know anything about the mediums you are talking about."
Roger explained.
"By the way, that grimace you controlled earlier ......"
He has been haunted by this matter.
"What's that?"
Henrik pulled out the watch in his arms.
"A little trick."
"Its only purpose is to survey the simple environment and ...... Polygraph. ”
"That's exactly why I used it on Adeline that day."
Taking the pocket watch from Henrik, Roger's eyes flickered imperceptibly, and in his perception, a new hint appeared on the notice board of the hunter's hut.
The pocket watch of the sojourning remnant soul: a spellcaster with weak energy, which has been refined by special means to envelop the remnant soul. Once placed in a cottage, it can slightly increase the overall value of your home.
"The value of the home?"
Roger was slightly stunned.
Could it be that the last upgrade of the Hunter's Hut was not due to the loot he obtained, but due to the increase in the value of the Hut due to the increase in loot?
That is, in addition to loot, other similar things can also raise the level of the house?
Faintly, Roger felt that he had found a new avenue for promotion.
"Is there anything else you can do?"
You know, his current hunter's hut is of little use except for a bed and bookshelves.
"I knew that it was not enough to have a house, and if you couldn't make a hardcover, you had to at least have a simple cover......"
Roger felt he had a long way to go.
Well, when you do tasks in the future, you really have to pay attention to what blood-stained combs, soul-holding mirrors and the like.
The mission took a relatively short time, and after returning home, Roger meditated on the dawn again.
Not long after leaving the house early the next morning, Roger heard a big news.
Sherman's killer, caught!
