The Journey of the Demon Hunter

The sitting mare shook her head in horror when she passed a pile of bones. Zelin subconsciously used the seal of Acxi to appease it. This method is very useful. It can keep your mount quiet when facing the devil. , But the mare from another world doesn't seem to be suitable for magic. It snorted, raised its ears, and looked at its owner with eyes full of tears from the cold wind.

"Don't be surprised, rape, just some bones, they won't jump up and bite your tail." Zelin stroked the neck of the mare, and when he left Camelot, he was impressed by the endless **** field on the side of the road. Give his new mount a good name.

The mare obediently descended the hillside full of shrubs and weeds. Zelin had to bend down on the horse's back to avoid the surrounding stiff branches from pulling herself from above. Today's weather is very good and the sun is shining, Zelin need not worry about encountering a storm in the forest.

Last night Francesca did leave more than 700 Nilfgaardfran and his gryphon emblem, but it is a pity that gold coins cannot be used as food, and the emblems of detecting magic cannot be discarded either. There is nothing else in the castle except the decayed wood. Even if Zelin wants to agree to the entrustment of the wizard mage, he must leave there to find some food. Although there are many dwarves living in the mountains, Zelin has hardly entered Mahakam before. He doesn't know exactly which dwarves live in the huge mountains. Instead of wandering aimlessly, Zelin depends on his luck. More willing to go where he knows.

I have to say that the conditions that Francesca gave him really made him tempted-the warlock brothers would give him that castle as a base for him to establish the Griffin School Demon Hunter Academy. The wizards did not Will interfere with how he uses the castle. However, the cost is not just for Zelin to enter when the portal is opened. If he enters the portal for more than a year and does not show up, then the Warlock Brotherhood will judge that he is dead and take back the castle. There was no note on the note handed to him, and Zelin was still able to guess their intentions.

If Zelin can really establish the Griffin School Demon Hunter Academy, then the warlock can get a group of good guards beside the unstable portal without paying any rewards, even if Zelin dies in the portal or In the hands of wild monsters, they don't have to worry about finding a new demon hunter to guard the portal. They will kill two birds with one stone. The price paid by the Brotherhood is only an abandoned castle worth more than one thousand crowns. But the temptation to rebuild the academy is really too great for Zelin, just like the snake sect demon hunter, Resso of Gureta said, if he can make the snake sect demon hunter prosper, he is willing to do anything, even if It is the assassination of the king at all costs. These words also worked for Zelin.

Walking to the edge of the forest, a wide valley appeared in front of the demon hunter, and the rushing river was winding and winding. This river originating from the Blue Mountains reflected its river transport value in the upper reaches. Just below the hillside, the dense forest was cut down to make a clearing. The red building roof of the floating port is extra conspicuous in a patch of green. The town is still expanding. It may not be long before the nearby forest will be cut down and built. Build a new house. From a high place, Zelin could clearly see the white sails on the masts of the merchant ships in the harbor. He raised his hand to block the dazzling sunlight and heaved a sigh of relief.

He bent down and unfastened the string that bound the long sword from the iron buckle under the saddle. He didn't carry the weapon on his shoulder when he walked through the woods, especially when there were branches all around, but then he entered the town. Zelin had better bring a weapon, which at least made him look less likely to be bullied. Holding a long sword in his hand always keeps him away from unnecessary troubles. Slightly pulled the belt tied to his body, adjusted the two long swords behind him to the correct position, Zelin gently kicked the side ribs of the rape. While considering the possibility of rebuilding the academy, he urged the mare to walk to the town not far away.

Thank you Avalon for your reward, this is the second one

Chapter 45: News from Redania

The layout of floating port towns is different from other places. River transportation is the meaning of the existence of the town. Most of the buildings in the town are built on the river, because behind the Pontar Valley, building houses on the slopes and forests is extremely dangerous. In order to prevent monsters in the valley from rushing into the town, on the side close to Pontal, three wooden fences tightly enclose the town, coupled with unplanned houses to make the whole town look like It was like a wooden barrel full of sardines. Several Tamorian sentries were stationed on the outskirts of the town under the leadership of a ten captain. They were responsible for guarding the forests and valleys, but most of the garrisons maintained law and order in the port.

Zelin just had lunch at the floating port, a glass of Covind rye and two loaves of bread. He didn't know what happened. It cost 30 francs just for a simple lunch. Prices have increased by at least three tiers compared to a month ago. This is not only directed at him, but other guests in the tavern are also complaining about the high price. When the waiter brought the food to the table, the demon hunter’s sensitive ears heard him whispering that the scarce food should not be wasted on the mutant. But just two months ago, when he was in Vangeborg, the capital of Kovind, he could still hear farmers talking about a good harvest today, but after a month away, he came back and found that the information he controlled seemed to be Outdated.

Without staying in the town for too long, the demon hunter found a merchant ship in the harbor willing to take him downstream. The captain is a Kovind with a big beard. He doesn't care if Zelin is an ordinary Tamorian or a demon hunter. He just wants one more on the boat to be able to be in the river and water. The ghost's helper when attacking the merchant ship, the price is fair. Zelin wants to protect his cargo and crew when the merchant ship is attacked, and protect the other passengers on the ship if possible, but he will not pay him. The reward is used for Arrival fees, such a conscientious transaction Zelin only took three seconds to consider before agreeing. So at dusk, with his back facing the setting sun, Zelin leaned against the side of the ship's stern and sailed in the direction of Ailand downstream.

The turbulent waters of the Ponta River followed the heavy cargo ship, and the skilled helmsman controlled it to avoid the undercurrents and shallows in the river. Most of the passengers on the ship dozed off with their luggage, watching the mules resting quietly in the middle of the deck. Horses, Zelin breathed a sigh of boredom. His plan was to reach Iland by water, and then go south by Brugge, and then cross the Yaluga River into Sintra. If he remembers correctly, Sintra should still be by East- King Turzzi and Queen Carrance ruled, the brave King Skellige and the lioness of Sintra were blessed by the entire north when they held their wedding six years ago. As for Queen Carrance's granddaughter, Sintra's lion cub-Hiri, is also known as the accidental son of the North.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Zelin. Sintra is a place where demon hunters are welcome. There are many monsters that need demon hunters to deal with. He can earn a lot of gold there, and he can catch them in ten days. Go to Sintra, and work until the end of the month. If you are lucky, it is estimated that there will be thousands of coins in his pocket. Even if you are not lucky, he can earn money before Francesca finds him again. Enough money to hire dwarf craftsmen to repair the abandoned castle, and then buy salted fish and bacon that can be stored for a long time, so that I will run out to find food when I come back next time. There are only monsters around Mahakam, and none of them can eat. Prey.

"Um...may I have the honor to talk to you, Mr. Demon Hunter, if I admit that I am not wrong, you are Zelin of Tamoria."

The clearing of his throat caught Zelin's attention. He raised his head, and a dwarf with a big brown beard stood in front of him somewhat restrained. He was wearing a wide woolen jacket with a black embroidered chest on the left chest of the jacket. The eagle with the white cross shield emblem at the bottom is the emblem of the Kingdom of Rydania. Under the eagle, he is holding two purses instead of a sharp sword. This indicates that he is a member of the Rydania Chamber of Commerce, not Officials serving for the king.

"I don't mind." Zelin said lightly, wearing a large gray cloak, the same color as his hair, just enough to hide the long sword. He didn't wear a hood. Although the weather is heading towards autumn, there is still a trace of heat in the air, especially on the river. If he doesn't want the lining to stick to his body like mud, it is best not to wrap himself up at this time. Is too strict.

"I have seen you in Ben-Ade in Covind. At that time, you were holding the head of a Gryphon beast with blood all over it. Everyone in the town ran out to see you. I was there at the time. On the side of the road, that’s really a big guy. You can imagine it just by looking at its head. It must have taken a lot of effort to kill it. Oh, yes, you are an expert, an expert in dealing with monsters, a monster that ordinary people can’t deal with. It must be a piece of cake for you."

A gust of wind blew the river, wrinkled the water, shook the branches of the river, and a shimmering leaf fell and fell on the surface of the river in a circle, and then was swept into the bottom of the ship by the cargo ship. Zelin said nothing, with a specious smile on his face, looking at the dwarf, which made the dwarf more restrained.

"Oh, I haven't had time to introduce myself. My name is Lucard and I live in Novigrad." The dwarf rubbed his rough palms and raised his head to show the arrogance of a businessman. "I didn't expect to be here." I met you, master demon hunter, you used Gwent to win a day and a night in Novigrad’s largest casino, but it attracted everyone’s attention. I regret not being on the sidelines at the time. I missed it. Wonderful game."

Zelin remained silent, and the smile on his face became obvious.

Suddenly the merchant ship shook and started to lean slightly to the left. The Ponta River turned a short distance away. The Kovindese seemed to have driven on this channel many times. He was an old captain with very skilled driving skills. , The bulky merchant ship dexterously twisted the hull to avoid the shallows that might cause the cargo ship to run aground, leaned on the left bank and hit a full rudder, drifting lightly through sharp bends, so light that it did not even disturb the dozing passengers on the ship.

The dwarf grasped his beard that spread to his waist in one hand. It seems that every dwarf has the same characteristics, a big beard and small eyes hidden in the beard. Zelin's silence made the atmosphere a little embarrassing. The dwarf who claimed to be a member of the Chamber of Commerce racked his brains to think about the next words. In the end, the demon hunter decided not to let him continue to embarrass his brain cells. The passengers were about to wake up and talk aloud about what to eat for dinner. He spoke slowly.

"You are not suitable for this industry, Lucard, don't rush to deny it, you know what I'm talking about, right?" Zelin's eyes moved from the dwarf's beard to his hand. "Your clothes are indeed members of the Chamber of Commerce. Yes, but I suggest you don’t wear it anymore. Maybe a porter’s clothes are more suitable for you, or more suitable for your palm. Also, if I remember correctly, when I was in Kowind , The Rydania Chamber of Commerce is still imposing sanctions on the Kovind Chamber of Commerce and Kerviel Povis on the steel transaction. The Rydania merchants will not reach Ben-Ade at that time, by the way. By the way, you'd better take a good shower while putting on different clothes. I can smell the Nilfgaard hookah when you stand in front of me."

The dwarf was stunned for a few seconds, then waved his hand sharply and sighed, "Oh, okay, damn, I thought I did a good job, I thought we wouldn't be too embarrassed to talk about it in this case."

"You are not the first to come to see me as a spy, nor will you be the last." Zelin shook his head with the same expression. Wait, let me guess, you call yourself a businessman from Rydania, if this sentence is correct, then... Dikoscher? Or Philippa Erhardt? Don’t tell me anything from Wizmir II. Regards, I will throw you directly into the river."

"Uh, sir, you guessed it." The dwarf wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Please receive greetings from Sigismund Dixie, Master Demon Hunter."

Thanks to the roaring 233, the new generation of autumn famous mountain bike gods, the eagle of the contribution fee, and the book guest 307280453 for their rewards

Chapter 46 The Qing Dynasty Is Dead? !

Any country has a corresponding spy organization. They are the eyes and ears of the king and the dagger hiding in the shadow. Any spy leader is one of the king's most trusted people. Sometimes the relationship between the king and the spymaster may be better than The relationship with the queen must be harmonious. But among all the spy leaders in the various countries, it is really unprecedented to be able to achieve the level of Sigismund Dikoscher.

He is not only the head of the intelligence organization of the Kingdom of Redania, but also along with Philippa Ahart, the sorcerer who assists the king. The two of them are the real administrators of Redania. According to the most reliable one from Wiz The news from King Mill’s court said: If Dijkstra is going to turn day into night, no one would dare to say nothing. He is a very talented intelligence expert, bold, steady, and loyal to his country. He holds great power but is extremely loyal to the king. It is very rare for these two to be placed on the same person at the same time. Perhaps it is this rare opportunity to make Di Koscher came to where he is now.

Zelin first heard that the spy leader was in Towsonte. At that time, he had just passed through the cold wind of Anglin and ran to the fairy tale country full of wheat and wine with the hundreds of gold coins earned through commission. ---Every day there are festivals, feasts or other celebrations, and each one is more gorgeous and luxurious than the previous one. The people there do not reject demon hunters, nor will there be an extremely anti-inhuman White Rose Knights everywhere like the Vizima City of Tamoria. Towsonte has only a few ranger knights guarding the frontiers and main roads. Although Zelin couldn't receive the entrustment of demon removal there, he could relax his tight spirit, avoid the severe cold in the north that can freeze people's ears, and enjoy two months in the warm south.

Then he was invited to a banquet-it took a hundred francs-I heard someone say that there was a fat bald man named Dikoscher in the Kingdom of Ridania. As for his duties, rumors were varied. Zelin could only tell from this that he was the one who worked for King Wizmir II. At that time, he thought it was another guy who squeezed into the Rydania Council with his own rhetoric. This idea lasted for half a year. Later, he went to Tritog, the capital of Rydania, to see an extra decorative landscape in the city.

The stiff bodies of a group of guys accused of espionage were hanging on the side of the road and swaying in the wind. It is said that everyone has solid evidence, and all this is naturally attributed to Mr. Sigismund Dikoscher. Now, the well-known spy chief came to Zelin again, and only the day after he came back, the news was not unclear.

"You don't need to be polite with me, Lucard, tell me directly what your master wants from me and what I can get, and then I will tell you if I can, or if I am willing to meet his requirements "Zelin didn't look at the dwarf, his gaze rested on the vortex stirred up by the stern, and the winding mountains on both sides. They haven’t walked out of the Pontar Valley, but they have already left the floating port. If his calculations are correct, they will soon be able to see the port of Float City filled with merchant ships. There is Marathi. A freight station contracted by Us-Glock, but Zelin’s cargo ship will not stop there.

Lucard was a little tangled by his beard. The demon hunter’s straightforwardness made him at a loss, but Zelin believed that the reason why the crappy dwarf spy was sent to contact him was precisely because Dikos knew he was a man. The crappy guy, crappy enough to not cause Zelin's disgust or disgust. For those who look like a mouse and behave like a mouse, Zelin usually uses the sword to ask him what his purpose is to follow him, rather than a peaceful conversation.

The dwarf opened his mouth, and the small eyes in his beard glanced left and right. The sailors on the deck are busy tightening the ropes and clearing the deck. Everyone is busy with their work, or pretending to be busy, at least not to let the captain see that they are doing nothing, and no one will pay for the lazy people. There is still some time before the sun goes down, some passengers are already snoring, at least until the aroma of grilled fish wakes them up, no one will come over curiously to find out what a dwarf would say to a demon hunter.

"Dikescher hopes that you can find someone for him, a little girl." The dwarf cleared his throat and put on an appearance of talking about business. "It's just looking for a little girl. It's not a troublesome thing. I think at least for For you, it’s certainly not. Not all demon hunters have... that magical eyes, you are very good at finding people, right?"

"Little girl? Oh, which ordinary little girl can be targeted by the famous Dixie." Zelin's tone was full of mockery.

"Silia Fiona Irene Liannon."

The dwarf just said the name, and the chuckle that hung on the corner of Zelin's mouth melted away like summer ice and snow. He stretched out his thumb to point to the river outside, and said coldly, "This is the end of the joke. I jumped down. , Or I’ll help you, choose one of the two. "Anyone knows who Xili is, whether it’s a sailor on the river or a beggar in Novigrad, Zelin doesn’t quite understand why Dijkstra’s insulted him with such words. His IQ, but this does not affect his right hand to react subconsciously.

"Wait, wait!" The dwarf's disguise was like a bubble that was punctured. The businessman's arrogance was instantly thrown behind his head. He stepped back subconsciously, and shook his hands violently in front of him. "Please wait a minute, Master Demon Hunter , Haven’t you heard the news yet, how dare I let you go to Sintra to kidnap their princess, oh! My collar!"

Zelin grabbed his clothes, pressed the dwarf’s face on the side of the ship, lowered his head and said softly, “Listen, Mr. Spy, you’d better pray now, what you call, the news I don’t know, can let me take you Pull back instead of letting go and let you have a close contact with the river."

"Sintra is dead! Master Demon Hunter, Sintra is dead!" the dwarf shouted, and at the same time tried to turn his head to see Zelin's expression clearly, but the short neck of the dwarf made him do nothing. "Sintra no longer exists, there are only burnt ruins and broken walls!"

Zelin was silent.

"Really, I didn't lie, good sir! Please pull me back, I can't swim!" Feeling sliding down a little more, the dwarf struggled like a barracuda thrown on the shore and about to die.

Zelin's hand rounded a circle and threw Lucard back onto the deck. The commotion here attracted the attention of several sailors, but they all hid far away, as if they were ready to watch a good show. Zelin glanced at the sailor, and then placed his gaze on the dwarf who was lying on his limbs. He squatted down and said word by word, making sure that the other party could understand his meaning and said, "Tell me what you know, all. Don’t miss a single detail. If that **** waterpipe makes your mind confused, I have a hundred ways to wake you up."

The dwarf seemed to have forgotten his responsibilities, and news that the Demon Hunter hadn't expected came out of his mouth.

Thanks to the blood redstone, Bruce Van En, the monthly ticket of Dajia 1313, thanks to Nogi Yuanko, the moonlight cold yarn, and Quincy for grazing. The red has a triplex speed reward.

Chapter 47 Disaster

About a few days ago, while Zelin was staying in Camelot to enjoy the rare leisure time, the Nilfgaard Empire army, which had been assembled in the south, crossed the Amer Mountains and entered Irunwald and began to move towards the approaching area. The Kingdom of Sintra launched an offensive in mid-July 1263.

This is not the first time Nilfgard’s tentacles have stretched to the north. Before Zelin was still in Kovind and met Altria, the white flames dancing on the enemy’s grave-Emperor Enhill Using military and diplomatic means, they gradually annexed Ebin, Mecht, and Nasser in the south. It is said that residents of Ilenwald can see the shiny spear heads of Nilfgaard soldiers at the foot of the mountain every morning. The last time he met with other demon hunter colleagues, Zelin predicted that war and bloodshed would break out in the near future, but he did not expect that the war would break out so fast, so quickly, and so simply.

Zelin has not never seen war. Conflicts erupt on this land all the time. Sometimes it is for the right to inherit a piece of land, sometimes it is just for the tax revenue of a few villages. The kings with the crown fight against their army. Fight against each other. After both sides are exhausted, the kings will sit down and negotiate, and finally sign a peace agreement. As for who is satisfied, it depends on which side has a stronger army and can earn more chips for the king, but this time , The war was really clean and tidy, but in less than half a month, Sintra’s army was completely shattered, and the land south of the Yarlunga River was filled with black sun flags. Anyone who dared to resist Nilfgaard The Sintra people either fled to the north or turned into a corpse.

According to Lucard’s description, at dawn, the King of Sintra East Turzzi, the Skellige man and Queen Carrance led thousands of soldiers to the Manado Pass. , Planning to meet the Nilfgaards there, but when they arrived, they found that they had already been surrounded by an imperial army several times their own. Then the fighting broke out. The whole battle lasted for a whole day, from early morning to dusk, and finally the Manado Valley was full of the bodies of Sintra soldiers. They fought bravely but were outnumbered, and the King of East fell to the enemy. Under the blade of the army, there were the wailing of the Sintra people and the howling of the Nilfgaard cavalry regiment chasing and killing the maimed enemy everywhere.

As for Queen Carrance, the lioness of Sintra is more brave than many men who lay down their weapons and escape. She gathers those who are still able to fight under her banner, and they face the city of Sintra and The battle retreated, and appeared with several knights who protected the queen in the fiercest part of the battle. Until later, her horse died. When she went on foot to attack the soldiers of Nilfgaard, the enemy's spear pierced her. At last, the lioness who was seriously injured was brought back to the city by the knights desperately protecting her.

Although Sintra had a gate with stone walls and magical seals, the siege lasted only three days. When the sun rose on the fourth day, Nilfgard successfully transformed the gate and most of the walls with the warlock. Turned into gravel and powder, the men in black rushed into the city and killed any living creatures they could see. Only a few people hiding in cellars or corpses survived. In the castle, the women killed the children and the men. Killed a woman and then committed suicide, or like Queen Carrance, she was so badly wounded that she could not raise her sword to judge herself, no one wanted to do anything to the queen, so she climbed to the top of the castle and jumped down. Many servants followed them. The queen was martyred together.

The Nilfgaards do not accept surrender, and no one is willing to surrender.

"That's it, a massacre, a terrible massacre." Against the sky full of stars, Zelin and the dwarf spy were sitting on a rope loop, leaning against the shadow on the side of the boat, while tasting Cowend’s Stout beer, while eating the smoked grilled carp just made. The bearded Captain Kovind also joined them. After two glasses of beer, Zelin knew his name---Burat, Lutonsky from Kovind.

Zelin was somewhat impressed there, because to the east of Lutonsky is Kyle Mohan, the castle of the wolf school demon hunters, and to the north, across the mountains is the Kingdom of Corvell-Bovis, which was built by countless decades ago. People who were not accepted by the mainstream society built a miraculous country on the frozen ground.

Scientists considered by the world to be lunatics, warlocks with strange thinking, engineers and inventors with novel ideas that they can build revolutionary new inventions, and businessmen who believe that profits can cross borders, think that even in barren There are farmers who can produce fruit in the place, as well as many miners and geologists. It is these people who have built Corvell Povis, considered a proverb of poverty, into a land of fertility, which is recognized as the most advanced and tolerant country among the northern countries. The dwarves will not be threatened, and the elves will not be humiliated. Warlocks can safely conduct their own experiments without worrying about being incited by mobs rushing to the laboratory, smashing, looting and burning. If Zelin had to choose a place to settle, it would be Kervi Povis.

With a light sip of dark beer, Zelin returned his attention to the dwarf and the captain in front of him. The bearded captain also heard of Sintra’s tragedy, and he kept complaining about the impact of the war on his work. How much influence is coming, the Yaruga River is full of people rushing to cross the river, hoping to flee the refugees of Tamoria before the arrival of the Nilfgaard army, and the footsteps of the people in black do not stop at all, Tamoria The army has moved to the south. King Foltest appeared near Bruno. There are reports that King Vezmir of Rydania, King Hensett of Kovind, King Demawi of Aden and Leary Queen Mivi of Yalivia led the army towards Sorden, and there must be a new war. It was only a matter of time. The northern countries formed an alliance and formally started war with the Nilfgaard Empire.
