Chapter 270 Extra 6: The Night is Deep

    The gray-haired demon hunter wore black and red chain mail, and the white iron wolf head pendant hanging around his neck swayed slightly. He carried two swords on his back and rode a black horse, staggering through the valley surrounded by mountains and forests. The horse's hooves stepped on the frost-covered country dirt road, leaving a horse's hoof print with every step, revealing the yellow mud underneath.

    "I don't like this kind of weather, chamomile, I want hot water, barbecue and wine, and it would be best if there was a poet playing the piano and singing in front of me, like Dandelion, who is interesting and lively." Shechuan Yao complained and rubbed her frozen cheeks. Unfortunately, her only travel companion was the warhorse under her, which could not answer this question. It also looked sleepy and tired, but its professional ethics prevented it from throwing off its master.

    Shechuan Yao was a little tired on the way because she had accidentally accepted a letter delivery commission, requiring her to cross half of the continent within just three days and deliver the letter from a duke of the northern Nilfgaard Empire to a family leader in the Skerry Islands.

    As for the content of the letter, Shechuan Yao didn't care and didn't want to know.

    She was just a mercenary who had money to drink and took missions when she didn't have money. Although the targets of eradication included humans and most non-humans, she was really just an ordinary demon hunter. Compared with her famous senior brother Geralt, the "White Wolf" who was praised by many bards, she was as small and inconspicuous as dust in the corner.

    As a result, the letter almost hurt her badly. The family leader of the Skerry Islands died within half an hour after receiving the letter. When the family guards rushed into the bar to arrest him, Shechuan Yao almost sprayed the rye beer in his mouth on their faces.

    It turned out that the uncle of the deceased believed that the letter was coated with poison, and Shechuan Yao was an assassin sent by the duke of the empire.

    It's ridiculous.

    If Shechuan Yao wants to be an assassin, will there be any survivors on your island?

    I'll show you all my strength.

    However, in order to prove her innocence and the subsequent task bounty, Shechuan Yao spent a whole day and night tracking, fighting at least four waves of humanoid monsters and water ghosts, and finally found the key evidence to prove that it was the adopted son of the dead leader who killed the person.

    As for how this family living on the sea would solve the family strife, it had nothing to do with Shechuan Yao. After clearing her grievances, she was planning to leave this broken place by boat. However, the leader's own son paid her to join the battle, so that she could punish the enemies who framed him, and also prove the bravery of the demon hunter to the residents of the Skelli Islands.

    "God, your will has been conveyed to me through such a noble person, what can I do?"

    Shechuan Yao drew out the steel sword behind him and sighed, "I accept the hiring of fighting."
