Inside the medium-sized blue tile heart tavern.
The laughter gradually came to an end.
The witchers ordered food and drinks and began to feast.
"Would you like to order something to drink? Anyway, you don't have to pay."
The young bartender came up and lowered his voice.
"Black horn beef bread soup, add more beef, simmer the soup for a while and make it thicker."
This is one of Tucker's favorite foods.
"Hehe... I understand." The young bartender winked at Tucker with an expression that said I understand.
Waiting for meal.
Footsteps sounded behind him.
Then, the captain of the demon hunter team, who was in his mid-twenties, had short golden brown hair, and had strange silver-ringed eyes, sat down next to Tucker.
"Andre Fan."
The leader of the Demon Hunter team introduced himself.
Tucker glanced at this powerful demon hunter genius and then spoke softly.
"Taniru."
"You also came here to hunt those herders and the evil sun?" Andre Fan asked seemingly casually.
Tucker shook his head.
"You demon hunters hunting those herders and the evil sun are part of the growth of practice."
"Not to me."
"You can understand, I was just passing by here."
Tucker responded lightly.
"You want to go back to Saint Rand?"
"I will go back when this gray night period is over." Tucker nodded.
"That will take at least ten days." Andre Fan laughed.
Tucker had already felt it from the other party's tone.
Compared to getting to know the other party, the demon hunter captain obviously wants to get to know himself more.
To these demon hunters, Tucker was a true "local" to a certain extent.
And he's also a pretty awesome local.
There is nothing more conducive to their actions than a powerful "local" who can act as a guide for them and even give them advice and suggestions.
as expected.
These rough-and-tumble captains of exotic demon hunters quickly stated their true thoughts.
"If you don't mind, I hope to invite you to be our team's demon hunting guide before the end of the next gray night period."
Tucker turned around and looked at the extraordinary mid-level demon hunter who was already in his forties . He said it seriously.
"If you want to get some useful advice from me."
"My advice is that the water in the Black River Valley is very deep and you can't control it!"
"But... I don't think you will listen. "
Tucker's words made Demon Hunter Andre Fan laugh.
He immediately lowered his voice.
"As the guide of our team, you don't need to fight. You just need to use your wizarding skills to help us find the herders. For every herder you hunt, you will be rewarded with 50 magic gold."
"How about it?"
Tower Ke's eyes were slightly thoughtful.
"A herder has 50 magic gold, and 10 is 500 magic gold. 100 is 5,000 magic gold."
"Isn't this more profitable than herding sheep?"
"And it's not very dangerous. After all, this team and them He is really powerful."
"More importantly... he can penetrate into them to a certain extent, guide them, and muddy the water in the entire Black River Valley!"
After thinking for a moment, Tucker nodded.
"No problem, but if I am also forced to get involved in the battle, then I will also have a share of the spoils."
"Okay." Andre Fan nodded.
"In that case, let's gather here tomorrow morning and we can try our first cooperation." Tucker said, looking at the time on his Ashes clock.
"Understood."
A small tentative cooperation was reached immediately.
With the passing of Andre Fan.
Tucker's deluxe version of black horn beef bread soup was also served.
Looking at the pile of beef that was about to overflow, Tucker estimated that there were two or three silver dragons that he couldn't take down.
But even so, it is just drizzle to those foreign demon hunters.
After all, one magic gold is worth 20 silver dragons.
While tasting the richly fragrant bread soup, Tucker was thinking about his follow-up plan.
Finding the herders was not a difficult task for Tucker.
Across the river, near the Larmore ruins, there were so many herders and the Sunfall that they exploded.
Moreover, Tucker was quite familiar with the terrain there.
After all, Tucker himself and the former Tucker were always there digging holes in the ground, setting traps, catching rats, and the like.
Even if you don't go to the other side of the river, you can still go to the deeper parts of the tower city-state in the Black River Valley.
According to the dwarf alchemist Baggins.
There are also a large number of Dark Sun Fallen and herders there.
Although, Tucker can hunt these herders on his own as well.
But that doesn't mean much.
On the contrary, Tucker acted alone and was easily discovered by the rebel strongmen in the Black River Valley and the masters of the Dark Sun Church.
But following these organized and planned demon hunters, there may even be "guilds".
That's completely different.
When they encountered a large-scale counterattack by experts from the Dark Sun Church.
When everyone was fleeing, Tucker could have fished in troubled waters and escaped.
This is much better than attracting firepower alone.
"Put the slower teammates in the front row. This...is the role of the team!"
After thinking for a while, Tucker made a serious conclusion.
...
Inside the tavern.
With the end of the demon hunting sacrifice ceremony.
The corpses of those evil degenerates and herders have been "transferred" through magical rituals, and no traces of them are left.
Tucker, who was watching from the sidelines, praised the demon hunting sacrifice ceremony and said goodbye to the demon hunter team.
Soon, the team of demon hunters living in the Blue Tile Heart Tavern gathered in their captain's house.
"Captain, is that guy really a steam wizard?"
the hot and beautiful demon hunter asked curiously.
"Yes."
"Look, let me tell you, that kid really has something."
The bald demon hunter man shouted.
"It's just that the level is a bit low, only level 21."
"No...his level is not level 21."
Captain Andre Fan shook his head and said.
"Not level 21?" The team members all looked over.
Their levels are much higher than that of the steam wizard.
With a natural level advantage, it is relatively easy to discern the levels of low-level extraordinary beings.
"The level 21 is just a cover, if you look carefully enough."
"Hidden behind level 21 is his real level."
Andre Fan elaborated.
"Then... what's the level of that steam wizard?" the female witcher asked curiously.
"Level 23." Andre Fan said seriously.
"It's only level 23, which is still a bit low."
"It's safer to be lower," Andre Fan said.
"But that steam wizard is not safe." The vice-captain who had been silent in the crowd spoke quietly.
He didn't speak, and the team members almost ignored his presence.
"When I had a close conversation with the wizard, I could only confirm that he was not contaminated by the Dark Sun."
"But even so, as you said, this steam wizard is not safe for us."
" You all know how powerful the steam sequence is."
"Maybe he will lead us into the pit."
"So, I plan to cooperate with him step by step."
"And...we all have guild magic nets. "
This world also has things like tower magic nets."
"But they obviously haven't established a steam tower magic net system yet."
"That human being wants to set a trap for us, and we can also notify others through the magic nets ." "
He can't escape our guild's pursuit."
"After a few more cooperations, we will be able to initially confirm the safety of this wizard."
These seem to be generous, rough and heroic exotic demon hunters.
But when it comes to combat as a witcher and their own safety, they are as delicate as the flowing water of a still spring, considering every detail carefully.
...
Deep in the rain curtain.
Tucker, holding on to the shield of the wizard's robe, moved forward quietly.
At this time, Tucker was also thinking carefully about today's overt and covert confrontation with the group of demon hunters.
The heart has the Tigers, fine sniffing the rose.
That's Tucker's rough summary of preparing a group of witchers.
Dealing with dark creatures, being able to live and have such a high level, obviously cannot be as careless as it seems.
"Some kind of magic network in their arms, something like an arcane magic network that is imprinted into it."
"The veins developed using steam as the source of energy, and the link direction is Saint Rand."
"They should be in Saint Rand . Rand rented a high tower as the core source of their steam magic network.
"The exotic methods brought by these guys are indeed something."
"I hope I can be a 'leader' for a while. They can bring me some good profits."
"In addition!"
"There are quite a few demon hunters coming this time."
"There must be a lot of equipment and weapons that need to be repaired."
"Perhaps, they can be given to Baggins. Introduce some work, after all, he is idle when he is idle. "
Tuck is not interested in being a middleman or anything like that. The main reason is that Tucker wants to show his enthusiasm.
