God-level Demon Hunter

There was a long silence, and most of the demon hunters tightened their faces, expressing their rejection.

Roy sighed and temporarily changed the topic,

"Mr. Linus, we need time to think about joining the Society for the Protection of Endangered Species. Let's not talk about it yet."

"OK then."

"I still have a question, to feed all the endangered animals in the warehouse... Is that an astronomical amount?" When entering the ecological park, there were several vats full of meat and vegetables, and after a circle, they were swept away by the endangered animals Empty, not even dregs left.

If he had to be fed once a day, Roy thought a little bit and clicked his tongue, the two thousand crowns on his body would not last for a few years.

"Is the salary of a lecturer in Niubao enough for you?"

The scholar shrugged, and he didn't seem to care much about money. "Do you remember the commercial street in front of the Philosopher's Gate?"

"The business is very good, and the popularity is exploding."

"About [-]% of the shops are owned by my family..."

"..."

Linus Peet said in a casual tone, "When Oxenfurt University was first established, my ancestors smelled business opportunities and bought those places ahead of time. No one expected it to become so prosperous today."

"It turns out that he is a rich second generation. No wonder he came up with such a boring idea of ​​the Endangered Animal Protection Association."

"No, it's still too much money, there's nowhere to use it!"

Roy complained in his heart.

"It's getting late." Everyone looked at the sun in the sky, "Why don't you go have a meal together first? Discuss the rest at the dinner table?"

"That's good... Oxenfurt has a lot of delicious food that is hard to find in the world, I just took a few of you to taste..." Linus said, "By the way, I have one more thing to ask you all."

Chapter 6 The Missing Assistant

In the literary restaurant of Oxenfurt College, the refreshing sea breeze and soft sunlight shine through the windows with a table full of delicious food.

The witcher sat around the table and gorged himself. The speed with which he ate and the boldness of his posture made the teachers and students of Oxenfurt in the restaurant dumbfounded.

Most of this group of teachers and students have good family backgrounds, either rich or noble, they either showed disdain for the performance of the group, or they were full of curiosity and secretly looked at them with weird smiles.

But the demon hunters didn't care, they shook off their cheeks and ate it.

"Try this limited-supply stewed gray gillfish..." Linus Pete recommended, pointing to a pot of creamy light yellow fish broth, "grey gillfish is a dish from the Oxenfurt estuary. The special product of the delta, where fresh water and sea water meet, the meat is tender and there are almost no fishbone. It is very sought-after, and I only ordered one with the privilege of a teacher."

Roy put down the caviar pie in his hand, took a sip of the fish soup, and couldn't help squinting his eyes comfortably.

"This is called enjoyment. The stewed fish I used to eat is nothing compared to it. But Mr. Linus, the gray gill scale fish is only produced in the delta, isn't it a protected animal?"

The scholar shook his head and explained, "You don't have to worry about this. The gray gill fish is protected by a limited fishing ban, and the Department of Natural History of the college spends effort every year to combat illegal fishing and hunting, so their numbers have been maintained within the normal range. It is far from being endangered. In addition, although I am committed to saving endangered animals, I am not a pedantic vegetarian."

"Try this corned veal with broccoli sauce again...the restaurant's signature dish, most popular among college students."

Next, a series of ingenious beefburger-style delicacies refreshed the witcher's cognition. These special dishes are not only beautifully presented, but also have amazing taste, and they also take into account balanced nutrition.

It is far from being comparable to the simple and crude stewed meat and barbecue in foreign taverns.

"Niubao is really a corrupt place..." Oakes leaned back on the wicker chair, stroking his slightly protruding belly, and belched contentedly. "Except for Roy's craftsmanship, there is no food so amazing."

Everyone nodded, all agreeing.

They drank some home-brewed fruit wine. In order to prevent the romantic intellectuals from going crazy in the college, the college restaurant did not serve spirits, although the effect was not great.

Then, Lei Suo cleared his throat, "I have visited the ecological park, and I have enjoyed Oxenfurt's special food, Mr. Linus, now let's get back to business..." Lei Suo stared into Linus' eyes , smiled, "Just be direct, what else do you have in mind? Or, entrust?"

"Forget about joining the Society for the Protection of Endangered Species...we're not interested in it!"

Linus looked at Roy, who shook his head decisively,

Linus sighed and said regretfully, "You are not willing to cooperate, and I will not force you. But I hope you will not reveal the matter of the ecological park. Some nobles are very interested in endangered animals and try to catch them as Toys, even killed to make specimens, my ecological garden must not be targeted by those malicious guys."

"I can't eat your meal in vain," the bald man nodded happily, "We will keep the secret... this is the promise of the demon hunter."

"Although you can't join the Association for the Protection of Endangered Species..." Serrit said half-truthfully, "Mr. Linus, I personally think your ideas are very far-sighted. The world needs an expert with advanced thinking like you."

There are indeed fewer and fewer monsters in the world. The demon hunters have a deep understanding. Maybe in a few decades, all the monsters will become museum specimens for display.

But the hunting habits they have developed for decades cannot be changed just because of the words of the Niubao scholar.

Linus got the answer he wanted, so he made another request.

"Besides the management of the ecological park, I do have another problem... I've been busy taking care of the little ones recently, and I really don't have time to investigate in person, so I would like to ask everyone."

"tell me the story……"

"I hired two assistants to take care of the ecological park in turn... Both are students of the Department of Natural History. They passed my inspection. They are clean, honest and trustworthy."

Roy remembered he had mentioned this before.

"There seems to be something wrong with one of the students..." Linus clasped his palms together and said worriedly, "Last week he asked me for a three-day vacation because of family matters, but seven days have passed today, He still hasn't returned to the academy. No one has even brought back a message. I'm worried, can some masters come for me and go to his house?"

"I understand what you mean." Lei Suo glanced at his companions, everyone nodded at him, and said, "It doesn't sound difficult, it's just a small errand task, we can handle it. Tell me, the basics of the students Identity information, home addresses, and personal relationships..."

Linus's face brightened, and he introduced it to the witcher in detail.

The name of the Oxenfurt student and assistant of the ecological park who has not been heard from is named Whishaw. He has short gray hair and black eyes. He is tall and 21 years old this year. To be honest, the reputation in the grade is pretty good.

"No conflict with anyone?"

Linus shook his head,

"Where is his home?"

"On a small hill about ten miles northeast of Oxenfurt Town, I can mark it on the map for you later."

"Outskirts?"

"The town of Oxenfurt is very expensive, and Whishaw, a young child from a farming family, can't afford a house now."

"However, he worked very hard. After passing the Oxenfurt entrance examination with sweat and hard work, he spent a lot of time working hard every day to earn tuition fees. This is also the reason why I hired him to take care of the ecological park. How should I put it... Linus commented appreciatively, "Whishaw is an excellent young man with potential as a scholar. He has worked for me for more than half a year, and the daily tasks in the ecological park have been completed very well, and his academic performance has not been affected at all. Influence, has always been among the best in the Department of Natural History."

Linus Peet tells some more about Whishaw's past at the Academy.

Roy sorted out the information in his mind, confirmed that there were no mistakes or omissions, and comforted him, "We have been entrusted to take over, so don't worry, Whishaw probably hasn't finished his work yet, and he can't get away for the time being. It’s not convenient to pass the message.”

"Ten miles to the northeast of Oxenfurt, I will ride there every once in a while, and if there is no accident, I will be able to bring back news tonight."

"Everyone, it's my turn this time, right?" Oakes said ahead, "Baron de la Valetti has watched the show for a few days, and his bones are rusty, so I should be allowed to act this time. Activities, one person is enough to handle!"

"Can you take me with you?" Cantila said. In fact, she ate and drank for free with everyone these days. She didn't make much contribution, and she always felt a little owed. "I've always been curious, masters. How to solve troubles on weekdays."

The snake sent the demon hunters to discuss a few words.

"Then Cantila, you remember that everything must be directed by Oakes." Roy patted her on the shoulder.

"No problem, I promise there will be no more trouble!" The Zerikan girl smiled heartily, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

The matter was settled like this. Cantila and Oakes went to Whishaw's house to investigate the situation, and the rest of the people continued to stay at Oxenfurt College, waiting for news, and visiting the college they wanted by the way.

"By the way, masters, we haven't discussed the reward yet..."

"Let's not mention the remuneration. If there are no major problems with Whishaw, your meal today will be considered as your remuneration," Lei Suo said generously once in a while. "If there are other troubles, we can discuss the price in detail."

Chapter 7 Montes Distans

Not long after Oakes and Cantila set off, Linus took advantage of the privilege of the academy tutor to apply for the witness pass for the demon hunters.

For the next three days, they will be able to enter most of Oxenfurt's departments with certificates, except for the Alchemy Department and the Espionage Department.

These two colleges are strictly supervised and do not accept auditors.

But today happened to be a rest day, and the witness pass was temporarily unavailable.

"Mr. Linus, I still have some questions about raising griffins."

"Why is the master interested in this?"

After thinking for a while, Roy simply revealed Golfein's true identity.

"Using an alchemy item to change the form, the body is a female griffin less than one year old?" Linus enthusiastically held Roy's hands, his face full of ecstasy, "Master, you are willing to tame Golfing, and If you don’t kill it, it’s really different from other demon hunters!”

"You agree with what I said earlier, right, endangered animal protectionism—"

"Well, I partially agree." Roy interrupted him immediately, "Let me talk about your suggestion first, how to raise a griffin better?"

"You must see Golfin's body...a full physical examination," Linus said, holding his beard seriously, "and then tailor a breeding plan."

"So you're still a veterinarian?"

"I have devoted myself to the zoo for many years, and I am responsible for everything. Naturally, I understand a little bit, and my level should not be inferior to any veterinarian in Oxenford."

Roy nodded. He also wanted to see if the usual care was qualified, and whether the little guy suffered from malnutrition.

"But it will have to wait until night, when Golfin returns to his original form."

"Leave it to me to study and study first?"

"also."

In the afternoon, the crowd divided into two groups.

Roy came to the library alone.

Serrit, Lesso, and Fulius followed Linus Pete to continue to take care of the endangered animals in the ecological park.

Compared with dead books, they are obviously more interested in living animals.

……

As one of the best universities in the world, Oxenfurt has a profound heritage.

The library is also astonishingly large, unlike other places where it is only a certain floor of the building, but a whole three-story building buried in the shade and flowers, which exceeds the library of the Temple of Meritelli.

The first and second floors of the library are open to students and the public, while the third floor is only open to teachers.

The structural layout of each floor is similar. There are dense and neat bookshelves on both sides of the hall. The demon hunter roughly estimated that there are about three or four thousand books, a total of tens of thousands of books.

In this era when literacy is not yet popular, books are as precious as money and gems, as can be seen from the financial strength of Oxenfurt University.

Surrounded by the bookshelves, there are rows of rectangular tables connected end to end, which can accommodate about 300 to [-] people. On the tables, exquisite potted plants that have been repaired are placed at intervals, exuding a fresh fragrance, adding a touch of natural vitality to the library and making the hall more elegant.

With such a wonderful environment, even on the off day, the library is the most popular place for recreation in Oxenfurt College.

As far as the witcher can see, there are students who are studying hard and swimming in the ocean of knowledge.

Everyone kept quiet tacitly, and the only sound in the hall was the rustling of the pen tip across the paper.

Roy took his steps lightly, and took a copy of "Research on Rare Herbal Preparations and Diseases" from the bookshelf labeled Medicine and Herbal Medicine. Because alchemy reached Lv2, he was more interested in books on medicine.

Then, with the book in hand, he turned around a few times and found an empty seat on the second floor of the library, next to the toilet.

The medical knowledge possessed by Oxenfurt College is exactly what he lacks. He does not have many herbal formulas, and several of them are narrow-purpose folk prescriptions taught by Kalkstein.

But now the rare knowledge of herbal medicines, as well as the precious and rich herbal medicine formulas are in front of him, he is dazzled and sinks into the books with complete ecstasy.

……

Time flies in the focused state.

Roy didn't know how long it had been. People came and went around him several times, and he memorized the formulas for treating three common diseases, flu, fever, and gastric acid flooding.

My heart began to be restless, my fingers drew uncontrollably, and the painful and happy alchemy addiction showed signs of attack.

It is worth mentioning that even if he mastered these formulas and refined the medicine, he could only use it for himself.

If you want to sell medicines publicly in any big city in the north, you must pay a high formula patent fee, because the relevant laws in the north are very perfect, especially in Redania, where commerce is developed, you can freely use the knowledge of Niubao for commercial use It is absolutely illegal.

But selling in the countryside or going through underground channels is another matter.

While thinking about it, a gust of hot wind hit his face, and someone stood in front of him and cleared his throat.

"Are you?" The witcher looked up, and a well-dressed man with a khaki round-brimmed hat and a radiant spirit appeared opposite him. He was in his twenties, exuding a strong bookish air, and he was looking at him with a smile.

"Sir, I'm very sorry to disturb your study." The man tried his best to keep his voice down, trying not to affect others, but his excitement was beyond words.

He looked vaguely at an ancient scarlet symbol accidentally revealed on the right wrist of the demon hunter resting on the desk.

Roy rolled down his sleeves hastily.

Recently, the imprint made by the mirror master has not responded at all, and he has almost completely forgotten it.

"Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Montes Distans, a graduate student in the Occult Sciences at the Oxenfurt School of Applied Archeology... I noticed your eyes, you are a demon hunter..."

The man paused, as if considering his words.
