The Witcher’s Nightmare Wagon

Abetus, the residence of the Duke of Dressel.

As King Fred's right-hand man, Duke Dressel has a terrifying influence in the Kingdom of Elland. He single-handedly created a team of demon hunters, becoming the only extraordinary organization in the country that can compete with the Church of God's Domain.

Without him, perhaps more than ten years ago, the Church of Oracle would have completed the peaceful annexation of the Kingdom of Elam. From many rumors, we can hear the glorious achievements of the Duke, but in the past 20 years, the Duke has been able to There are very few things that adults look at.

It is said that he has not left Abetus for a long time.

Together with another legendary figure, the dean of the Royal Academy of Engineering, the seventh-order djinn mentor Aplaiad, they are also known as the Kingdom's Double Columns. It is said that the double-column gate of the iconic building of Abetus was specially built because of the two of them. .

The Duke's Palace occupies a huge area, but in order to show respect, in Abetus, where the land is expensive, the king does not even allow the construction of tall buildings around the Duke's Palace.

At this time, in the luxurious study room of the Duke's Mansion, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his 40s with gray temples was sitting at the desk and reading the information in the book.

He is tall, but simply sitting there gives people a strong sense of deterrence. The lines on his face are tough, his eyes are sharp, and the corners of his mouth are slightly pursed.

At first glance, he looks like a stern academic researcher, not a real power duke of the kingdom.

"Interesting young man." Duke Dressel smiled and closed the documents in his hand, "Malek did not gain anything in Liam City."

"Sigmund Skind, what do you think about this young man?" Duke Dressel asked without looking up.

"It's a little clever, and his head is very flexible. The report said that he was able to escape from Bellegarde's attack because of the avatar... I think there is a big problem at this point."

The answer to Duke Dressel was a young woman in her mid-twenties, with a standard headband on her head and a purple narrow-sleeved lace blouse.

The figure is tall and straight, the body is fit, and the hair is a rare purple-black.

It was Fred's daughter, Princess Charlotte of the Kingdom.

"You're always like Charlotte, everyone should have their own little secrets, no one can control everything." Duke Dressel's gentle voice sounded.

"What about the rest? About the mechanical talent mentioned in the document."

"It's an exaggeration. According to Malek, this Sigmon's talent in mechanical manufacturing...maybe only Mr. Appleard can match it."

"I was skeptical until I saw myself," Charlotte added at last.

At this moment, the doorbell rang and someone walked into the room, "Your Excellency, it's time to meet guests."

"Who is it today?"

"The fifth-order alchemist Newcommon."

"What is he doing here?" Princess Charlotte looked puzzled, but Duke Dressel smiled, with a hint of clarity in his eyes, "Such an excellent talent, it is really a waste to continue to be a Demon Hunter."

Soon after, the meeting room.

After a few chats, Newcomen went straight to the topic, confirming that Duke Dressel generously took out all of Sigmon's information, just as he had guessed.

He clapped his hands, and the documents engraved with confidential words turned into a pile of confetti, "On the official documents, the Demon Hunter Sigmund Skind has been killed in the explosion in the Cross Street."

"Great, Sigmon is a natural mechanic. I have never seen his talent before. No matter how much he pays, I must help him change the contract." Newcomen looked excited.

"Then at least wait for him to advance to the fourth rank and build a memory palace, so that changing the contract will not cause his personality to collapse." Duke Dressel reminded.

"Don't worry, I have arranged a new job for Sigmund, I plan to recruit him to the Royal Academy of Engineering, and then find a way with Mr. Appleard." Newcomen. Nod.

"It seems that this young man has a new identity." The Duke asked casually.

"Henrik."

…………

Along the way, the two of them took turns to rest, and in less than two days, Sigmon came to Abetus.

The last time he passed by this city of hope, this time he had time to feel the breath of this city carefully.

After many expansions, Abetus has become a mega-city of millions of people. At first, there were people who wanted to build the city wall, but the speed of building the wall could not even match the speed of expansion.

The wide street is flanked by rows of metal street lamps with carved patterns. It's not like Liam needs a lamplighter to light the street lamps in the evening.

In some of the main streets of Abetus, pipelines have been laid, and a special mixture of whale oil can be run down the pipes into the street lights, which can be uniformly lit when needed.

High-rise buildings and wide streets. The Harrivan River running through the city divides Abetus into two districts, north and south. The carriage drove over the bridge, and Sigmund stood up. In the evening light, he saw the towering towers of Abetus, Church and Royal Palace.

Because it was established relatively early, most of the administrative centers and main buildings of Abetus are concentrated in the areas of Harrivan and the North Shore.

Over time, the Abetans will habitually call this area the upper city and the lower city.

This is not a specific grade, just a geographical distribution.

But in general, the upper town is indeed home to slightly more nobles, while the lower town is home to some emerging merchants and bourgeoisie.

It's no wonder that Ashley sighs that being in this city does make people think of London at the end of the 19th century.

"This is Abetus!"

Crossing the bridge over the Hariven River, there are two stone pillars over 50 meters on both sides of the bridge body, which are the iconic double-pillared gates of Abetus.

"The Duke of Dressel and the Appleard djinn master, they are like these two pillars, supporting the entire sky of the Kingdom of Elam." Malek sighed with a pipe in his mouth.

Entering the upper city, the streets are relatively narrow, and there are track carriages everywhere on the roadside. Sigmon even saw young people riding unicycles in the streets.

People are in a hurry, but most people's faces are filled with a light called hope.

"It's a nice place," Sigmund said.

"You'll love it here."

Putting Marek down at the designated spot, Sigmon turned the carriage and headed straight for Elm Street.

Abetus covers an extremely wide area, the urban area is tens of kilometers in length and width, and the city is divided into 23 administrative districts, so when Sigmon came to Elm Street, the sky was completely dark.

As soon as he jumped out of the carriage, a figure rushed up impatiently, but suddenly stopped when he saw Sigmon's face.

"Rebecca, it looks like I'm going to live here again."

"You?" The lawyer was a little puzzled, but she didn't react suddenly until Ashley took the initiative to step forward.

"You made a disguise."

"Let me see the new environment." At Sigmon's suggestion, the three walked into the apartment.

The layout of the room was similar to that of Liam City. After several days of running around, Sigmon had to clean it carefully before appearing in front of the two of them.

"Nice to meet you."

Rebecca took the initiative to move forward and gave Sigmon a big hug regardless of her image.

"State in advance, I'm very poor now, and I'm afraid it will take a long time to pay you the rent." He was half-joking.

"It doesn't matter, I will deduct it from Ashley's salary." Rebecca responded.

When the three came to the restaurant, a sumptuous dinner had been prepared on the table, and with a simple glance at Sigmund, it was clear that this was definitely not from Rebecca or Ashley.

"For your return, we should have a good celebration." Rebecca took out a bottle of red wine from the top of the wine cabinet and filled it for the three of them.

"cheers!"

"Why don't you continue to develop in Liam City, how can you think of returning to Abetus?" Sigmon suddenly asked after swallowing the steak in his mouth.

Rebecca's law firm in Liam City is just getting on the right track. According to her character, she should not be the type to give up easily.

"Because I found that everything I did was in vain." Rebecca put down the dishes, "I want to help those women, children and weak people who are suffering."

"But there are too many of them. My strength is limited by myself. I can help 10 to 100, but what about more? It's just Liam City."

"We should have made some changes at the root and at the source, not like this, so I left Liam and went back to Abetus, where maybe I can find my way."

"In other words, you haven't figured out what to do next?" Sigmon took a sip of wine to moisten his throat.

"It's still in the plan, but don't worry, I won't default on Ashley's salary for a day." Rebecca hurriedly added.

"Since you have this idea, why be bold?"

"What?" Rebecca stared blankly at Sigmund.

"If there is a problem with the rules, we will change the rules. If there is a problem with the country, we will change the country. Do you want to try it..." Sigmon's voice was lowered, like a demon tempting a pure girl.

"Like...becoming the first ever female mayor of Abetus, or getting a seat in the House of Commons and becoming the first female MP!"

"God!" Rebecca opened her mouth wide.

"You're drunk, the idea is crazy!"

Of course it is impossible in the real world, but this is an extraordinary world. Sigmund just smiled and asked: "You just need to tell me, do you want to?"

"Think!" Rebecca nodded without hesitation.

"That's good!" Sigmund raised his glass. "Come on, let's honor the future Mayor of Abetus, Ms. Rebecca Snow, Member of the House of Commons!"

"If there is such a day, I will..." Rebecca looked longing, and Sigmon's face was reflected in her slightly drunk eyes.

Rebecca was just an ordinary person, and soon she was drunk and unconscious, Ashley sent her back to the bedroom and then went to Sigmund's room.

"We..." Sigmon's words were blocked in his mouth, and the breathing in the room quickly became heavy.

After a long, long time, everything subsided, Ashley curled up and glanced at the man beside her.

"I'm waiting for you in my dream."

WC! Can this kind of thing turn around? !

At the same time, in the Duke's Mansion, Malek washed clean~www.wuxiamtl.com~ changed his clothes and sat opposite Duke Dressel.

"Teacher, have you read all of Sigmund's information? I think he is more suitable for the new path of the hunter contract than me!"

"Sigmon?"

"You don't need to worry about him. He is a rare mechanical genius. Creating a contract is more suitable for him. I have already promised Newcommon."

"What?!" Malek stood up suddenly.

"You have to meet him in person, it's so special, I've never seen a hunter like him." Malek looked serious.

"In the half month that we have been carrying out high-intensity tasks together, his chaos value has not fluctuated at all!"

Hearing this sentence, Duke Dressel frowned slightly. He sat up straight and asked very solemnly, "Are you sure?"

"Exactly!"

"Bring him to me!" replied the Duke.
