Demon Laws
Chapter 61: Round Lake


Dewey had already spent five days with the Snow Wolf Paying Army.


Dewey was even starting to like these people. He likes sassy, rude, and uncontrollable men like this. He loved those nights with wine bags, devouring monster meat, then talking dirty, telling stories about prostitutes in a certain town.


He even knew some mercenaries, such as the One-Eyed Old Dragon who was in charge of making food for everyone at night. He was an old mercenary. Listen, he was a very strong man when he was young. However, he lost an eye and a left hand on an adventure. He saved Beinrich's life, but refused to take some money for retirement. He was reluctant to abandon this pleasant life and preferred to be with the mercenary group and do something for everyone.


Despite having only one eye and one hand, he did not become a burden. Not only could it make food to fill everyone's stomach, the One-Eyed Old Dragon also had a unique ability, that of always being able to find food anywhere. Even in barren deserts and cold snowfields. He can identify which mushrooms are edible and which ones are poisonous. He could assess the weather in the next few days by just looking at the sky. Hearing the sound of the wind, he could tell if there was a snowstorm outside a hundred miles.


It was an experience of his entire life.


Arguably, within the Snow Wolf Charge Army Group, the One-Eyed Old Dragon was one of the most loved people by the mercenaries other than the group leader.


Then there was the eight-finger archer, Stryer, whose little finger and ring finger on his left hand were bitten by a savage beast during the adventure. But no one dared to laugh at him having only eight fingers due to his outstanding archery skills. Despite being only eight fingers, he was the number one sniper in the Snow Wolf Charge Army Group.


Within five days, Dewey and Dardanelle also got recognition from the Snow Wolf mercenaries.


Two days later, the further into the forest, the more danger one would face. Once upon a time, when capturing the illusory demon leopard – this leopard moved as fast as lightning, it could even use magic to confuse the enemy with illusions. When the enemy is unable to tell which one is his real body, he may have come close and will break your neck in one bite.


While capturing the leopard, Dewey fully demonstrates the role of the witch. He threw out some slowness techniques in one breath, the leopard that initially moved faster than lightning so slower than the tortoise, then Dardanelle stabbed him with a knife.


In the past when facing such a leopard, the mercenary group would lose steam. But this time with the witches, no one died.


The spiritual power and sense of Dewey is also very useful for everyone. Usually when walking, Dewey will suddenly stop, then everyone can find out the existence of prey in advance according to the judgment of the witch.


During the five-day journey, due to the increase in witches, the harvest of the Snow Wolf Charge Army Group had more than doubled compared to the total from the previous three days.


Even Chairman Beinrich could not help but wish. How good would it be if he could recruit a magician?


Of course, after this thought came to his mind, Beinrich immediately laughed at himself.


Recruiting a witch? No kidding! Even the nobles of the royal palace, or the famous families in the empire did not recruit any magicians. Most witches like to be free and not work for others.


Which small mercenary group has the capital to recruit witches?


Dewey himself was also very happy.


He had been in Rollin Castle for too long. Moreover, he could use magic freely here.


That point is very important. Although Dewey's psychology was no longer a child, he had studied magic for many years, and after studying magic in recent months, his strength had increased by leaps and bounds.


In the castle, in order not to be exposed, he never let others know the fact that he had magic. Solskjaer is the only person who knows the power of Young Master Dewey.


Other than Solskjaer, no one, not even Sia, was allowed to enter the Young Master's magic laboratory. The magic laboratory was also nominally used by Solskjaer.


To most of the people of the Rollin family, Young Master Dewey was just a noble boy who wanted to know about magic. He might have learned a lot about magic potions, but people did not think that magic potions were real magic.


Like a kid who has a new toy and always wants to show it off. Although Dewey was not so childish, he could not show his abilities. When he cast magic, the envious or amazed gazes from those around him still made Dewey feel extremely satisfied.


Not being able to show ability is as uncomfortable as wearing clothes at night.


After passing through the forest, the scenery in front suddenly brightened.


Standing under the forest edge tree and looking at the vast open area in front of him, Dewey could not help but sigh.


So pretty!


In front of him was a flat snow field. The soft snow and flat surface made people want to roll over there. About 300 steps away is the Round Lake.


As Beinrich explains along the way, the lake is huge. Standing at Dewey's location and looking at both sides, the lake's dividing line was long and unseen at the end. In the snow-covered distance, the lake was a thick layer of ice.


In cold weather like this can not see the lake water, but the ice on the surface of the lake is like a large mirror, reflecting sunlight and looking luminous.


“The lake is blue in summer, the scenery is very beautiful.” Chairman Beinrich walked to Dewey's side, looked at the Round Lake in front and said in a low voice. “This is the fifth time I've come here. Do you know .. Many people in my group came to this place for the first time. In the career of mercenary adventurers, the death rate was extremely high. There are some subordinates who have been following me for several years coming here for the first time.” Beinrich's voice sounded a little disappointed. “Unfortunately, those who followed me here last time were buried by me.”


The new Dewey wanted to entertain, but Beinrich was already entertaining himself. He patted Dewey's shoulder hard and laughed out loud. “Already, do not comfort me, Your Majesty the Witch. Because this is us, this is the mercenaries, this is the life of adventure! Someone comes, someone goes. Some are dead, some are alive!”


After saying that, Beinrich stepped down, then began ordering his subordinates to start their work.


“Create camp! Stryer, take people around. Spirit and be careful. We're gonna stay here tonight. Oi! You are! You people! Don't get out of the lake! Shit, do you know what's in this lake? Get away from the lake!" shouted Beinrich loudly.


“Chairman!” The two men in the distance had already walked to the edge of the lake and were laughing out loud. “Chairman, it's been days we don't see water. Anyway, I just want to open the ice and see if I catch a fish. Eating wolf meat every day makes my teeth sour. Hahaha!”


"Eating fish? You're the ones that the fish will eat!” Beinrich shouted, calling the two men to return, but the number of people was lacking, the group leader frowned. “Where is another one? Where is Bayer? Wonderful! Where is Bayer?!”


The group leader looked around in panic, suddenly seeing a subordinate had walked to the edge of the lake and smashed ice cubes on the lake with a hilt in his hand.


“Damn, Bayer! What are you doing, bastard?!” The chief shouted and ran towards the man. “Leave the lake! Leave that damn lake!”


Due to the wind, the boy by the lake could not hear the voice of the chairman. He looked back confusedly and seemed to be shouting something as well.


Dewey saw the young man smiling.


Finally he broke the ice cubes and cheered loudly. “Hey, there's fish! There's fish here!”


This time Dewey heard his voice, but.


That guy seems like a fishing expert. After the ice cubes in the lake were opened, many fish that lived under the ice in winter came to the hole to breathe. The young man nimbly picked up a big fish from the hole and raised it.


“Chairman, look what I caught! One-Eyed Old Dragon can make fish soup at night! Hahaha!”


The wind started to blow again, his voice disjointed. Beinrich ran with all his might while cursing and shaking his hands.


The fish in the mercenary's hands thrashed, then the fish's mouth suddenly opened, a thin silver light shot out from the fish's mouth and shot the mercenary's eyebrows.


From afar, Dewey saw the mercenary suddenly fall backwards, the fish in his hand fell to the ground and moved into the hole again, fleeing.


Dewey immediately ran there.
