The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 679 Are You Kidding Me?
After a few days of rectifying the chaos, Changhu Town gradually became peaceful.

Because the Zähringen family really brought justice, just as they said!
The original Changhu Town, under the management of the mayor, did nothing but collect money and exploit the civilians.
However, the soldiers of the Zellingen family did not do anything wrong, and even took the initiative to pay for the things they bought.
Even in Bud's heart, he believed that the soldiers of the Zähringen family were good people.

After all, even if it was the guards from Changhu Town, they would make the shop owners feel scared when they came out.
In the former mayor's house, the boiling hot pot is emitting thick smoke.

Putting the beef in his mouth, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Are there any guys resisting in the nearby town?"

"No, Lord Earl, the dishonest fellow has been sent to River Valley City to repair the city wall!"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, the squire knight immediately smiled.
After hearing his words, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said, "Be careful, don't let the soldiers break the rules. We are outsiders, so we should pay more attention to unity, okay? If someone doesn't follow the rules, let him be careful in his next life!"

"Yes, Lord Earl, and here is a letter from Westeros!"

When he handed over the letter, the squire became serious.

"What happened in Westeros?"

Zhang Cheng opened the letter suspiciously and squinted his eyes.

But after seeing the words clearly, Zhang Cheng gasped and said, "Arthur Dane? Why would he want to come here?"

Thinking of his elder brother-in-law, who had come all the way from Westeros to find his sister, Zhang Cheng was speechless.
After all, Ashara is still in the Silvan Elf Kingdom!
But when he thought that he really needed help, Zhang Cheng didn't want to stop it.
After all, it would take him many years to conquer the entire Middle-earth. It was just right that Arthur was here to help him share some of the work!
But just as Zhang Cheng was eating beef, a soldier outside the door ran in and said, "My Lord, there is a man who claims to be a demon hunter. He has hunted monsters nearby and is coming to you to claim his reward."

"Monster hunting? Is that true?"

Zhang Cheng couldn't help but ask,
"This should be an order from the former mayor. Otherwise, I'll find a necromancer for you and dig it out to ask!"

Legolas asked while teasing Zhang Cheng,

"Legolas, this is not humorous!"

Zhang Cheng was speechless as he looked at Legolas unhappily.
Because he was recently talking to Legolas about the topic of "death" and mentioned the necromancer casually. Unexpectedly, he actually remembered it and used it to tease himself!

"You use blood magic to control the monsters that were slain. Is that polite?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng angrily, Legolas was also very angry.
As an elf prince, this was the first time in his two thousand years of being frightened and screaming!
One can imagine how frightened Legolas was at that time, he even forgot that he knew archery!

"Okay, let's skip this matter and not mention it anymore!"

Looking at Legolas, Zhang Cheng wanted to make a joke at first, but he didn't expect that this kid was two thousand years old and still so timid. It was really boring!
Not long after, a young and strong demon hunter with white hair came in. Zhang Cheng looked at the demon head in the other's hand and said, "Are you here to claim the reward?"

"Yes, the mayor, I would like to ask"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, the white-haired demon hunter in front of him began to explain.

But before he could finish his words, Zhang Cheng said, "I'm not the mayor here. As for the mayor, I killed him two days ago!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in astonishment, Geralt's face was full of confusion.
Because you chopped down the mayor, and you're still sitting here so arrogantly, is that really okay?

However, after seeing Legolas beside Zhang Cheng, Geralt was even more surprised and asked, "Elf?"

"Yes, you're surprised? Human!"

Looking at Geralt in front of him, Legolas smiled.
"I'm just surprised that elves would sit with humans!"

Hearing Legolas' words, Geralt couldn't help but feel a headache.

Because the mayor is gone, which means he can't get the bounty,
"Wait a minute, I'll ask someone!" Zhang Cheng turned around and said to the attendant knight beside him, "There was a good man in the guard team two days ago who was not beheaded by me. He probably knows about this matter. If it is true, I will give you the reward you deserve!"

Looking at Geralt calmly, Zhang Cheng jokingly said, "You look quite capable. Are you interested in joining my army?"

"I am a demon hunter and I will not be loyal to any king!"

Geralt seemed very serious when explaining to Zhang Cheng.
"Being alone is a good thing, but sometimes you may run into trouble. If you encounter something you can't solve, you can come to me. My fees are very fair!"

With a smile on his face, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but speak.
Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, Geralt never dreamed that as a demon hunter, he would have to pay someone to deal with a problem one day.
However, when Geralt saw the soldiers stationed outside, the corners of his mouth twitched.
Because Zhang Cheng’s strength seems to be indeed not to be underestimated!
Even in other kingdoms, he had never seen so many powerful knights!

Not long after, Bard was brought over. When he saw Geralt, he immediately said to Zhang Cheng, "Mr. Mayor, are you looking for me?"

"Just call me Earl, no need to be so polite!"

Looking at Bard, Zhang Cheng immediately asked, "Did the mayor who lost his head ever offer a reward to eliminate the monsters outside Changhu Town?"

"Yes, that's true, but..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng awkwardly, Bud suddenly remembered that the mayor who lost his head really had no head left!

"Here, this is your reward!"

Signaling to the squire beside him, Zhang Cheng took out a bag of gold coins and threw it to Geralt.

After taking the money, Geralt couldn't help but say, "Too much, Count!"

"It's okay. I have another mission. Do you want to hear about it?"

Looking at Geralt with a smile on his face, Zhang Cheng began to squint his eyes with evil intentions.

"What do you mean?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng suspiciously, Geralt asked,
"Smaug, the dragon of the Lonely Mountain!"

Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile when he spoke to Geralt, as if he thought the other party would agree to this.

But after listening to Zhang Cheng's words, Geralt silently opened his purse, took out the extra money and put it on the table, saying: "Sorry, I'm a demon hunter, not a dragon hunter. Smaug is not among my targets!"

Seeing Geralt so determined, Zhang Cheng was shocked and said, "Aren't you a demon hunter? Are you afraid of such a small challenge?"

"Do you know how big Smaug is? He's 140 meters long and 22 meters tall. That's not a monster I can fight! And Smaug is called a dragon, which means he has a bad temper!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with embarrassment on his face, Geralt laughed.

"It seems that for this kind of thing, I still have to go there myself!"

Sighing, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but cover his face, because he originally wanted to find someone to deal with Smaug, but now it seems that he can't escape the fate of facing Smaug head-on!
"Are you going in person?"

Geralt stared at Zhang Cheng in disbelief, his eyes widened, and even Bard was dumbfounded.
"Are you joking?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with suspicion, even Legolas was stunned.
