Chapter 37
"The witch hunter is said to be a group of people who specialize in killing demons. Their footprints are spread throughout the Ryan Empire, searching for demons hidden in the crowd to fight against them in order to protect the unsuspecting people."
"Each of them is a powerful combat master, and has power and knowledge that ordinary people cannot imagine."
"They punish evil and promote good, and each of them is a hero."
"And I was lucky enough to be friends with one of them, at that time..."
......
Donald sat aside and listened to a few words and pursed his lips in pleasure, and his index finger stroked the edge of the glass of new fruit wine that Stephanie had brought from the side.
In Donald's view, this gentleman, who claimed to be a friend of the witch, was completely describing those people in the heroes or prince charming stories that chant the poet.
Donald knew that he didn't know any witch hunter at all.
When these ladies mentioned this title, they probably planned to use this topic with some mysterious nature to attract others' attention.
He was still sitting here with great interest to prepare for some information.
"Is there really a witch hunter?"
Stephanie also heard the man's bragging just now, so she came up and asked curiously.
Compared to the rich young man who looked glossy, Stephanie obviously wanted to hear Donald explain it to her, even though the latter had sat down because she had heard the title of witcher for the first time.
"It should be...but I don't think it would be an organization like the special department of the sect. It might be a small team spontaneously formed by some powerful people."
There was still some time before the auction began, and I was idle, so Donald moved his chair to lean against Stephanie, intending to pass the time by chatting, took a sip of wine and continued,
"Because there are special departments of orthodox sects in the faith area, not to mention demons, even the strange disciples are so overwhelmed by them, and there are strange adjustment bureaus in the faith area. In fact, the situation is similar. Demon hunters are also humans, and they also have to live a meal. If they are not officially recognized, they will naturally not receive any reward. Simply put, they are hunting demons or demon contractors everywhere without asking for rewards... How many people do you think are willing to do such thankless things?"
Why did the Ryan Empire recognize orthodox sects on an official level and specifically divide the spread of faith for them?
On the one hand, although the beliefs of these sects have developed too quickly, the imperial government simply thought that since they could not be stopped by war, they would simply circle them a place to save these sects from fighting for believers and faith all day long.
On the other hand, we naturally hope that these sects will help them solve some special problems.
The hero violated the ban with martial arts.
This is also meaningful in this world.
It's nothing more than a different title: a stranger violates the ban with his talent.
From the standpoint of the Ryan Empire government, they obviously do not want any alien disciple to expand their power. After all, any awakened alien disciple really wants to start ruthlessly, and massacre a village or town is not a problem.
Such people themselves are uncertain factors that challenge imperial laws.
If there really is a team of witch hunters, then this unofficially recognized alien organization itself will be suppressed by the sect and the empire.
The reason is very simple. There are strange adjustments in the non-faith area, and there are major sects in the faith area. What do you want to do, the witch hunter organization?
Should I defend the people on behalf of the government or the sect defend their believers?
It is precisely because of this that Donald believes that if there is a Witch Hunter Organization, then the members of it should be good. After all, if they are weaker, they may have been invited to have tea before they meet the demons.
"Is it Lord Taros?"
The two were chatting when someone suddenly came up to ask.
Donald turned around and saw a middle-aged man with two beards. Severet did not have this person in his memory, so he subconsciously frowned.
This kind of social interaction in aristocratic cocktail party is not like chatting and fucking after dinner in the market, but has many considerations.
Especially when meeting strangers, it does not mean that anyone can go up to talk if they like it. This is a bit rude.
According to the rules at the cocktail party, if someone wants to get to know a stranger, he would be better off finding a referee to be the introducer first, so as to avoid the embarrassment of the two people not having a chat together.
The person in front of him was neither the one Severet knew, but he came forward to say hello so directly, which undoubtedly made Donald a little alert.
The other party obviously noticed Donald's expression change and immediately took out a gold-burned business card from his chest pocket.
This is a very popular way of self-introduction among capitalists.
But for the time being, it is limited to capitalists, because most nobles think that they do not need this thing. If those capitalists cannot recognize them, it is the latter's fault.
If it is the other way around, it is normal, and capitalists have to hand them their business cards.
After all, most capitalists are just ordinary people who are slightly richer in the eyes of the nobles.
"Beevis Cooper, Black Rock Industry...Corta's capitalist?"
After taking the business card and scanning his eyes, Donald looked at the middle-aged man with more confusion. He had no such person at all, but after a while, he asked,
"Is there anything you have to do?"
"Sir Taros, I heard that the city of Renas is carrying out large-scale urban construction recently?"
Bearded slightly, standing in front of Donald, Bivis asked carefully.
This time he rashly stepped forward to talk was his actions after he had been mentally prepared for a long time. Although it was a bit rude, he really didn't know the person who could speak to the real powerful noble in front of him. Therefore, even if the rules were broken, he was ready to come up and give it a try.
"It's true."
Renas' urban construction project is quite disturbing, and Donald never conceals anyone else. He even asked Renas' newspapers to cooperate with the publicity in order to attract foreign capital, so anyone who pays attention to this information in Dongde County will know about this matter.
"I want to move my factory to Renas City... Don't worry, I will bring you a considerable income and a large number of jobs, and in addition to this, a generous gift I have prepared for you!"
Before looking for Sevit Taros, Bivis had of course learned about this person and Renas's situation through certain channels.
Selfishness, greed for money, arrogance... There are many derogatory words like this, and the city of Renas is also a well-known "problem city" in Dongde County.
But one thing is undeniable, that is, the city of Renas is indeed carrying out large-scale urban construction. Because he went to the field inspection three days ago, he also prepared to come this time.
Just getting the invitation to this cocktail party cost him a lot of money...
"You want to move the factory?"
Recently, Donald has indeed considered introducing foreign capital to inject new vitality into Renas's development, but he did not expect that someone would find him to talk about this matter directly on such occasions.
"Yes, I hope to drive the factory into Renas City. I saw the information you posted in the newspaper through Renas City Government. My factory is nearly three hundred people. I think I meet the standards."
"Three hundred people?"
Donald, who heard the size of the other party's factory, immediately frowned, his tone turned cold, and then said,
"If you think Renas is a place where dirt is hidden, then you're wrong!"
The 300-person factory is a first-class factory in East Dec. No matter which city it is, it will not refuse its entry. But as the mayor of Renas, Donald naturally knows what the situation is in Renas now.
Although he believed that it would have a very bright future, the big factory owner who suddenly came up made him think that the other party regarded Renas as the city he used to be able to do whatever he wanted as long as he gave money.
"You misunderstood. I was forced to choose to move the factory because of Corta's situation. After investigating in East Delta, I found that the labor and land rental costs in Renas City should be the cheapest in East Delta, so I chose Renas City!"
"Wait, Corta's situation...What's happening with Corta?"
Donald has never been to Corta. The city itself is one of the few industrial cities in the inland areas. Although its development status is somewhat abnormal, it is also a first-tier city in Dongde County, not to mention the belief area of the craftsmanship and forging sects. It is protected by the gods of the "King of Blacksmiths" in the dark.
"The atmosphere in Corta is very strange now. I can't describe exactly what is strange, but I can guarantee you with my reputation that there are problems in Corta, both the people and the crafts and forging sects."
Talking about the situation in Corta, a strange expression suddenly appeared on Bives' face, his palm was unconsciously shaking out of thin air, and the flesh on his left cheek was also twitching, which made his current image look a little funny and embarrassing.
Somehow, Donald immediately thought of his experience in the Corta sewer and the master craftsman who was killed in the workshop.
At that time, Donald was in a hurry to go and did not think deeply about what was hidden behind those phenomena...
"Well, in principle, I wouldn't refuse a large factory that can bring me hundreds of jobs and considerable economic benefits to settle in Renas. When the cocktail party is over, you can talk to people in Renas municipality about this... It's the case for the time being. If there is anything in the future, I will send someone to notify you."
