Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 415 - Chapter 415 Chapter 415 The Three Forces

Chapter 415: Chapter 415: The Three Forces Chapter 415: Chapter 415: The Three Forces The speaker was a middle-aged man with a gaunt figure, his sallow face dominated by a huge hooked nose, making him appear sinister and ruthless.

Following behind him was, however, a petite girl.

The girl had black hair, and on the edge of her cheeks were tattoos the size of a finger in green.

“Do all Druids nowadays like to bring along a female student?” Roger couldn’t help but inwardly sneer.

To be honest, his previous experience in Sleeping Valley had altered his view of nature-intimate Druids somewhat.

“Third Tier Druid Master Yebeni.”

Gaheris introduced.

“This is my companion…”

“Hehe.”

“The Knight of the Beginning and the End, I heard of this legendary name when I was little.”

There was no expression on Yebeni’s face that one would expect when facing a legendary figure; his cheeks were thin, and his eyes rolled upward, “Bedivere, what did you just ask for?”

“The Hart Spirit’s horns?”

Yebeni shook his head, “Those are my trophies.” He glanced at Gaheris, “This is the reward both parties agreed upon.”

Roger gave Gaheris an inquiring look, and the latter nodded helplessly, “We indeed promised Mr. Yebeni.”

“But if I’m not mistaken, it was us who fought earlier.”

“Without me, you wouldn’t have found the creature’s Hostage, nor would you have been able to kill it completely.”

Yebeni interrupted Roger’s words.

“Alright.”

Roger took a deep breath, “Let’s negotiate, my body has encountered a slight issue and needs the Hart Spirit’s Horn to adjust, I just need to take a small part, roughly equivalent to…”

“That’s impossible!”

Yebeni refused Roger without courtesy, “I need to keep the Hart Spirit’s Horn intact, if you impair its wholeness, its effects will be greatly reduced.”

Yebeni feigned a regretful posture.

“So, respected Sir Bedivere, I’m afraid I cannot grant your request.”

“I am a Druid Master, proficient in a variety of Alchemical recipes, tell me what’s wrong with your body, and perhaps I can help find a solution.”

Roger couldn’t help but sigh, “Is there really no other way?”

“I truly need it.”

“Hehe, I need it too.”

Yebeni replied coldly.

Standing to the side, Gaheris didn’t know what to say; he hadn’t expected the situation to escalate to this point. Everyone was in a rush to kill the Hart Spirit, and they hadn’t thought through Yebeni’s request.

“Alright then, let it be.”

Roger nodded and said no more.

Gaheris, standing nearby, slightly exhaled in relief; despite his brawny exterior, it didn’t mean he was equally rough in temperament.

He could see the conflict between Roger and Yebeni, but it wasn’t appropriate to say anything at the moment; he could only try to communicate later and see if he could find a balanced resolution satisfactory to both parties.

“You shouldn’t have agreed to that old guy in the first place,” Gareth grumbled after Yebeni left. He had a fiery personality, and he hadn’t spoken up earlier to avoid embarrassing his brother.

Gaheris sighed, “I hadn’t anticipated…”

“But this Yebeni really is too greedy. We are Bloodline Holders, and the Hart Spirit’s Horn indeed doesn’t serve us much, yet the item is extremely precious.”

“He’s exploited our weakness, knowing that without his help, we’d have no way to kill the Hart Spirit.”

“The guy is too greedy.”

“What’s his background?” Roger curiously inquired.

“Across the whole of Europe, there are three powers, the Round Table Knight Order, the Sorcerer’s Assembly, and the remaining is made up of witches and druids, the Nature Association.”

“Although we all belong to the Privy Council, rivalry still dominates over cooperation among us. We have the numbers, the Sorcerer’s Assembly has the strongest combat capabilities, and the abilities of the Nature Association are incredibly varied and bizarre.”

“Let it be for now, they will eventually need us.”

“There’s another reason, Yebeni’s mother is one of the two leaders of the Nature Association, a Fourth Tier transforming druid, who also stands as one of the top powers among the three forces.”

“His own strength is formidable as well, so he has a domineering rationale.”

Gaheris smiled, yet his expression carried a hint of self-mockery.

A look of understanding flashed across Roger’s face.

To outsiders, they were the noble Round Table Knights, but within the circle of High Tier Transcendents, the identities of the numerous Heritage Knights of the Round Table Knight Order were not exactly secret.

They seem glorious on the surface, but behind the scenes, they’re fully controlled by the Privy Council. Compared to the other two forces, the comprehensive combat capability of the Round Table Knight Order is not weak, but it’s relatively less dignified.”

If he hadn’t owned Bedivere’s Inheritance Core, Roger might have never gotten involved with these matters and would have always assumed that the Round Table Knight Order was the actual controller of all of Europe’s Transcendent Forces.

In fact, the relationship among the three forces is one of mutual checks and balances, competition, and cooperation.

This relationship may also be somewhat related to the distribution of the European nations.

“Let’s leave it at that,” Gaheris said with a shrug.

“Although this is an internal mission of the Knights, I can’t let you help for free. Later on, I will try to find a way to get you a portion of the Hart Spirit’s Horn through other channels.”

Roger nodded, outwardly agreeing.

But no matter what, since he had fought so hard, he was determined to get what belonged to him.

As for the so-called Yebeni.

Heh…

What relieved Roger somewhat was that as he departed, he didn’t see Yebeni’s female disciple by his side.

Maybe she was too exhausted.

Recently, most of the Transcendents of the Round Table Knight Order in Eld were scattered deep in the forest, and through continuous probing, they had identified a rough area.

And upon departure, Roger finally met Tristan.

With no one else around, Tristan’s face bore no trace of Grey’s shadow, and though he appeared surprised upon seeing Roger, he quickly accepted the change as if it were deserved.

In the inner circles of the Round Table Knight Order, such occurrences were all too common.

“There’s something I need to warn you about in advance,” Yebeni suddenly spoke up before they entered the forest.

“The rebirth technique crystallized on the Deerhead Spirit is very powerful; it is a peculiar racial trait, and I need to prepare beforehand, conducting a complex ritual in the forest.”

“And if you want to capture the momentary fluctuation of its rebirth, you need to restrict the movement of this Deerhead Spirit as much as possible.”

Gaheris’s face slightly changed.

“What do you mean?”

“You want us to engage in a positional battle with this Deerhead Spirit?”

“That’s not what you said before!”

Gareth clenched his fists as well.

“Do you realize what the most troublesome ability of the Deerhead Spirit is, other than its rebirth?” Gaheris challenged.

“What if it senses danger and wants to move? How do you propose we handle that?”

Yebeni shrugged.

“That’s your problem.”

“Four against one, it’s not that difficult, is it?”

Yebeni coldly stated.
