Chapter 49 The Ancient Castle (Page 2/2)
Frank did not delay and took action immediately after preparing for an afternoon.
He also called Stark, the troll who had migrated to the forest outside the Oxburgh, and outsourced the job to the troll with a box of food, earning a huge difference in price. It was really great.
As a scholar in the history department, although human scholars have never studied the history of trolls, Professor Connors can easily understand the concept of treating other intelligent creatures equally.
After the two chatted about the trolls for a few more sentences, the old scholar finally turned the topic to the main business of his search for Frank this time.
He looked a little hesitant, and after observing Frank's beast-like pupils several times, he spoke:
"Mr. Frank, I actually noticed it when we talked yesterday."
"Your eyes are very different from those of ordinary people."
"Plus, you know so much about monsters like trolls, and you are also a master of swordsmanship."
"So, I have some doubts, are you the legendary demon hunter."
Frank did not show any panic or surprise when his identity was exposed by the old scholar, but his expression remained very calm.
In fact, Frank has never concealed his unusual appearance. Along the way, many people have doubted this.
But there are too few people who know the truth about demon hunters. Most of them are just some songs passed down by word of mouth, and some rumors that are very absurd at first glance.
Even if ordinary people have doubts, as long as Frank does not take the initiative to admit this identity, no one dares to say anything more in front of a young master of swordsmanship.
Facing Professor Connors' question, Frank thought for a second or two, and did not give a direct answer, nor did he deny it. Instead, he asked:
"Professor, do you have any difficulties that need a demon hunter to solve?"
This is an almost tacit attitude.
Professor Connors is also a smart man. Although he doesn't know why Frank didn't directly disclose the identity of the demon hunter, he didn't get entangled in it, and continued:
"Yes, Mr. Frank."
"In fact, I have always had a problem that needs a demon hunter to solve."
"I need to go to a nearby place to get some things."
"But that place is very dangerous. Ordinary mercenaries or guards don't have the ability to protect me."
"That's why I need a demon hunter."
Hearing that what Professor Connors said should be a commission, not other troublesome things, Frank, who was originally a little vigilant, immediately relaxed.
He no longer hid his identity and spoke directly:
"Since you have already seen it, professor, I will no longer hide it."
"However, I am different from other demon hunters. I don't have much interest in those missions of fighting and killing."
"If you want me to accept the relevant commission, you must first tell me the accurate situation."
"So, where is the dangerous place you mentioned? And what specific danger is there that makes you so cautious?"
Hearing this, Professor Connors sighed, pointed to a hill in the distance, about a few kilometers away from Niubao, and pointed to a castle on the hill that looked a little dilapidated, and said with a sad tone:
"Mr. Frank, do you see that castle? It is a legacy left by my grandfather."
"But now, it is occupied by a group of evil spirits and monsters."
"I want you to protect me and go to that castle to retrieve something."
"I'm not young anymore. I want to get that thing back before I die and bury it with me in the grave."
