Okay, okay, Mark came back in the end.
However, this time they didn't go through the window, but through the main entrance.
Liu Lang, Xiao Dai, and Vero Shiya also learned why the lost knight could hear them.
This is still related to the day when the Holy Cross Knights were completely wiped out.
Although Mark had been banished by Alex, he was seriously injured and drifted in the stream for an unknown amount of time before being rescued by a family in a village.
He developed severe tinnitus after that. Before learning about Verania, he had tried to enter the city, but his tinnitus prevented him from living there for long.
Ultimately, following the doctor's advice, it's best to maximize your tolerance until a cure is found.
That's why he settled down in Dawn City, and he would occasionally return to the village that had rescued him. Three or four years ago, there were hardly any people around this hotel, and even so, he found it hard to bear.
But he is, after all, a knight. Perhaps one year won't show any results, but what about two... three... four years...?
Mark had gotten used to the bustling atmosphere around the nearby hotels and the emergence of a market not far away.
Of course, if the noise is too loud, it will also affect Mark's battle. But then again, he is no longer the spirited man he used to be, and now he just wants to live out his life quietly as a hotel owner.
The side effects of tinnitus are also obvious, namely, the uncontrollable hearing of all nearby sounds.
Although Mark didn't want to, it was unavoidable, because those sounds would involuntarily enter his ears. It had taken him three years to get used to distinguishing everyone's voice in a chaotic environment, and that was already his limit. As for controlling himself from hearing unnecessary sounds...
He cannot do it at the moment.
"So you knew about the Ninth Princess from the very beginning?"
"I'm sorry, I heard three voices in your room after I returned from the village."
Well, Liu Lang and the others could only purse their lips, but they didn't say anything about secrets. The most secret things were just the search for the Grand Mage and my coming from the Dragon Kingdom.
"Since you've been eavesdropping for so long, aren't you going to offer some compensation? We're, after all, friends of Verania."
"What kind of compensation do you want? Imperial coins? To be honest, Brother Dai makes money much faster than I do."
It took me half a year to collect a thousand Imperial Coins back then.
Seeing Mark's wry smile, Liu Lang shook his head and looked at Verosia instead.
"Xiao Dai and I are fine, but this princess seems to be looking for the Grand Mage, so I'd like to ask you about the Grand Mage. Do you know anything about him?"
"Grand Master..."
Actually, I'm also very curious as to why you're so sure the Archmage is in Dawn City. You know, the Noble Alliance here has already surpassed the Royal Family in power, and since Prince Amir's death, the Archmage Azro has also been missing.
However, those Netherworld Demons retreated long ago. I thought Lord Azlo had already returned to the capital, but I didn't expect that it has been so long and Lord Azlo has not yet returned to the capital.
"
oh?
Liu Lang and his two companions were shocked. This was news they couldn't have found out, since there was almost nothing about archmages in Dawn City.
Even if there is any, it's from many years ago, and finding relevant information is incredibly difficult.
"If you want me to provide information about the Archmage, I will keep an eye out for a while. However, I also have a guess that perhaps those nobles know the Archmage's whereabouts."
As I said, since Prince Amir's death, Archmage Azro has also disappeared, so you can try to find a solution at the Magic Grand Assembly in three days.
Marx pondered for a moment and gave Liu Lang and the others a reply.
Hey!
After going around in circles, we've come full circle back to the Magic Festival.
However, there are still three days until the Magic Festival, so everyone can look for other ways before then.
"By the way, regarding Brother Dai, I think you should probably stay away from the outside world for a while. You have magic runes left by Alex on your body, and your soul is still imbued with Verania's magic energy."
The Witcher has been making some big moves lately, which are related to the Blood Servant incident last night.
To ensure the safety of the Magic Festival, they will continuously investigate. For your safety, it's best not to provoke them.
This was Mark's advice. Afterwards, everyone parted ways and went back to their own bedrooms to rest.
The very next morning, there was a knock on their door!
"Open the door, the Witcher is on patrol."
Squeak~
The door was opened, but before the Witcher could even step inside, Liu Lang blocked the entrance.
"This is trespassing! Don't you have any manners at all?"
"The duty of a demon hunter is to eliminate demons. When we passed by here, we detected the presence of demons in your room. Please allow us to enter and investigate."
The two demon hunters, one old and one young, were quite impatient. The younger demon hunter had already placed his right hand on his silver sword, while the middle-aged demon hunter spoke to Liu Lang in a relatively gentle manner.
However... both of them had white hair and red eyes, and their expressions remained the cold and aloof demeanor unique to Witcher.
Aside from a slightly gentler tone, his expression was definitely not flattering...
"What's the basis for your tracking of the demons? Intuition? Scent?"
I'm the only one living in this room. You can check whatever you want, just check me.
