The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"I don't have these monsters in my hometown." The girl shook her head. In the past two days, she had seen ghouls and water ghosts, the two most common monsters. For these monsters, the girl was very surprised and curious at first. So Zelin discovered a way for girls to quickly learn Gwent cards-he used the monster decks in Gwent cards to popularize the types of monsters for girls.

"There are no Griffin beasts in your hometown, but I think there will be these monsters in your country." Zelin's mouth was slightly tilted, and his right hand stretched out to the hilt of the steel sword behind him. The next moment, there was a sound of horseshoes on the road behind him. Altria turned her head, and saw four people wearing tattered armor and wielding daggers and iron clubs riding their horses towards the two of them. There are no iconic emblems on them, but looking at them, Zelin can know their identities without even thinking about them.

Robber!

"Do you want to fight?" Seeing Zelin drew out the steel sword, the girl also squeezed the long sword in her hand, and looked at him questioningly, "Are we in trouble?"

"It's not trouble." Zelin smiled and shook his head, and looked at the four robbers who rushed with satisfaction, but his eyes were not on the robbers, but on the horses under them, "We have horses."

Chapter 8 What's wrong

After successfully ‘borrowing’ two horses from the four robbers, the journey between Zelin and the girl became much easier. After all, it is much easier to have a means of transportation than simply to move forward on your feet. As for the four ‘generous and generous’ robbers, Zelin sent them free from this crisis-ridden world. In Zelin's list of hunting monsters, there are not only monsters, but also humans whose hearts and behaviors are the same as those of Warcraft.

With the horses, Zelin did not continue to stay in the nearby village, but moved forward at full speed. He wanted to get to the town near the Ponta River as soon as possible so that they could find a ferry across the river the next day. However, these two horses are not as good as the Kodwin horse that Zelin used to, many times he was worried that the horses under his hips would be exhausted to the ground in the next moment. Fortunately, when night fell, Zelin and the girl saw the lights of distant towns and Redania patrol soldiers in red on the road. The two horses had not exhausted their last stamina.

"I really miss Cowend's good horse more and more." Stroking the mane on the horse's neck, Zelin could feel the tiring trembling all over his body. Sighing, he took the reins and walked slowly towards the town not far away. The girl also led her horse and followed Zelin.

Here, she is completely a stranger. Once separated from Zelin, she may not find a way back to the town, let alone to the Mahakam Mountains. Although the girl knew that the first time she appeared in this world was in that mountain range, she found the way to leave the mountain range on the fourth day, and then wandered aimlessly outside for many days, without any relevant in her mind. Road impression.

"Your previous horse must be very good." The girl took the conversation, and she became more and more curious about Zelin's identity. Although Zelin told her at the beginning that she was a demon hunter, there are wizards and druids in the girl's world. The girl's mentor, Merlin, is a wizard, but there is no such term as a demon hunter. Maybe it's a ranger knight? "The knight really needs a good horse."

"That is indeed a good horse." Zelin raised his head slightly, exclaiming in nostalgia.

That horse was after he rescued a rich Kodwin businessman from a group of bandits a year ago. In order to thank Zelin, the rich businessman gave him the best horse in his hands. The Kingdom of Kodwin is located in the north. It is famous for the bad weather and the Warlock Academy in Bangerd. There are a large number of vast virgin forests in the territory. It was once the residence of the elves. The horses bred under the harsh environment have endurance and adaptability beyond the general population. At least Zelin doesn't have to worry that he will be attacked by monsters while riding a horse. The frightened horse will lift him off his back. Don't worry about the horses escaping without a trace while fighting monsters.

Stepping on the muddy road, Zelin and the girl entered the town along the crowd returning from the night. The town is small, but thanks to the convenient river transportation of the Ponta River, trade ships from the free city of Novigrad to the inland will pass here. At the entrance of the town, Zelin can see the most The mast of a large trading ship in the southern port. At the roadside stall, he even saw the specialty of the Skellig Islands. As the only island country among the northern countries, although its special products have a general response in the coastal areas, if merchants can transport them into the inland areas, especially Aden and Kodwin, the prices of these special products can even be Flip up more than twice.

Not long after entering the town, Zelin's keen sense of smell could smell the faint fishy smell in the air. Except for merchants, most locals fish along the river. Fish-harvesting merchants can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road. They will buy fresh fish from fishermen at low prices, then transport them to the inland and sell them at high prices. The scarcity is the most expensive, and the price in Banger, the capital of Covind, is much higher than that of Novigrad.

Soon Zelin found the only hotel in the small town that crossed like a spider web. The name of the hotel is neatly engraved on the doorplate---tuna. A name that appears in a standard fishing town. Hand the panting horse to the stable waiter, and put two Krona coins in his hand by the way, and told him to take good care of the horse with the best fodder here. If Zelin wants to continue to the Mahakam Mountains quickly after crossing the Ponta River tomorrow, he must give the horse a good rest. But once he passed the Punta River, he could reach the foot of the Mahakam Mountains in less than two days.

Pushing open the tavern door, the familiar noise came into Zelin's ears. The smell of alcohol, sweat and fishy smell mixed in the air. Many men made a loud noise while drinking with their bare feet, judging by their clothing that they should be fishermen on fishing boats or sailors on trading ships passing here. These people who are finally able to rest on shore are spending a lot of their money on low-quality beer. Generally speaking, hotels will also do tavern business. The wandering Zelin has long been accustomed to this, but Altria behind her looks a little disgusted with this environment, frowning deeply.

"Are you okay." The girl's changes did not escape Zelin's eyes. He turned his head and asked in a low voice, "We can rent a room as soon as possible, and then let the waiter deliver the food, where can it be quieter."

"I'm fine." The wrinkles on Altria's brows slowed down a bit, she just stared at the exposed maids with displeased eyes. "Compared with the Anglo-Saxon battlefield, this place is far different. "

"You still don't want to force it." Zelin shook his head, and every change in the girl couldn't hide from his beast pupils. He could see that the girl is not suitable for such a place. She is a standard knight. Just like Zelin has never seen a nobleman living in the lower city of the city, the girl is also not suitable for this kind of drunken place. "Let’s go. , I hope there are still rooms left."

At the counter, some prosperous innkeeper Yamon warmly entertained Zelin and the girl. Of course, this was based on the 80 Krona coins that Zelin had photographed on the counter. As long as it is profitable, Zelin believes that Amon will allow the Transfiguration and the witch hunters of the Church of Eternal Fire to live under one roof.

"We need two rooms, and then a roast chicken, some freshly baked hot bread, and two bottles of fruit wine." Zelin glanced at the girl next to her, and when she mentioned the roast chicken, the girl's turquoise pupils A ray of desire flashed, Zelin sighed, "Okay, I will order another roast chicken, and all the food will be delivered to the guest room, and then we will prepare a hot water bath for each of us. Well, that's it. ."

Looking at the **** extended by Zelin, Yameng's face showed a hint of embarrassment. He looked at the golden coins on the counter with reluctance. "Sorry guest, we only have one room left here, maybe you can make a living... "Amon looked at Ze Lin tentatively, and then at the girl. "There is the largest guest room in Lin Yu, which can definitely allow both of you to live in peace... Maybe you..."

A looming smile hung on Amon's face, a very strange smile.

"Hey~ I think we can find a place to stay elsewhere" Zelin sighed. Maybe you can find someone else who is willing to provide accommodation for a demon hunter, although he is not very hopeful.

"No, we can live together." Zelin looked at the girl in surprise, and the girl looked back indifferently. There was no wave in her dark green pupils. "In marching barracks, I often live in the same tent with other knights. , Is there any problem?"

"...I don't think so."

Chapter 9 Magic Mutation

At night, the hustle and bustle of people in the tuna hotel finally subsided, and the drunk people left the tavern leisurely, leaving a mess on the ground. It is estimated that more wine was spilled on the ground because of their drunk than they drank. . The local residents are the first to leave, and they will continue to work hard to make money to support their families tomorrow.

Afterwards, the sailors on the trading ships and fishing boats rushed back to the ship before the curfew. After all, Amon would only leave rooms for customers who were willing to pay. If the sailors had a hangover in the hotel lobby, they would definitely miss the next day. Anchor time, the captain will not wait for those who are late when sailing, time is money, and things like aquatic products can only be sold at a good price if they are fresh. Merchants will not risk losing money and wait for one or two. I don’t know. Where is the sailor fooling around.

Most of the people who stayed in the lobby were the guards of the merchants who lived in the guest rooms. These wealthy businessmen would not go to the hall to participate in the carnival of ordinary people. Almost all of them stayed in the guest rooms to let the servants deliver things. The guards who stayed behind are different from the sailors. They are generally not short of money. The roads in the wild are very dangerous. It is best for the merchants to make sure that the rewards they give will ensure that the guards under them will not leave him in real danger. Then ran away on his own.

"Hmph, Demon Hunter, I'm sure to win!"

The businessman guard sitting opposite Zelin looked at the card game in front of him, confidently took the beer at the table and drank it. It was too early to go to bed, Zelin asked Altria to take a bath in the guest room with the hot water prepared by the waiter to relax. After these three days of travel, he found that the girl was indeed different from ordinary people. It was probably not an accident that Wild Hunt was connected with her, but in any case, she was just a human being, a human who needed a rest. And Zelin came to the hall to see if there were any entertainment projects when the girl was taking a bath.

"Really, if you really think so..." Zelin's gaze left the game, raising his eyes and scanning the guard in front of him. He has a majestic physique and a dark brown beard. The small eyes under the wooden horned hat are shining dangerously. A scar extends from his left face to the lower jaw, making him look even more vicious. Not surprisingly, this man should be a sea citizen from the Skellig Islands. They are a group of militants, and they are also the most famous warriors in the northern countries. It is difficult for you to see potbellied nobles in Skellig, because there, power depends on your strength and courage.

Around the guard, there are four Skelliges, they should be the guards of the same merchant. As long as the price is correct, they are a good helper second only to the demon hunter. At this moment, they gathered around the wine table to cheer for their companions. The wonderful duel even attracted the attention of the maids who were cleaning the hall. They kept walking past the wine table deliberately, before the boss of Amon noticed that they were slowing down. Glanced and walked away.

"Is there a chance of a comeback?" The Skellyjee laughed loudly. "Look at our point comparison, Demon Hunter, shouldn't your cat's eyes be blinded? Look, you only have forty-four points, but I have ninety points, and you only have three cards in your hand, how can you win me! Hahahahaha" He said, he threw the remaining two cards in his hand on the table, picked up an empty glass, and the maid on the side hurriedly ran Come over and fill him up "I don't play cards anymore, I abstain, and see how you win! Guys, get ready to collect money!"

The situation on the table is indeed very unfavorable to Zelin. The opponent's monster deck occupies the entire melee slot. With a horn card that doubles the combat power of all cards, the Skelly's combat points are reached. An astonishing number of ninety. And Zelin's killer siege unit was completely useless due to the influence of the weather card. He raised his hand and looked at the only two cards left in his hand, the two weather cards.

"Maybe?" The corner of Zelin's mouth made a proud arc, he threw out a weather card with **** and threw it into the effect field.

Clear, remove all weather effects on the field. In an instant, the terrain rain that suppressed Zelin's siege units dissipated in an instant. Zelin's combat points rose to 57 points. Seeing this, Skelly Jie twisted his body uncomfortably. "Well, lucky guy, but your luck ends here. You can't have a horn card in your hand. Don't resist anymore. Hurry up and give us the money. I wish to bet! You can't win."

"Yes, I am willing to bet and lose." Zelin shook his head and threw out the second weather card. Frost --- the attack power of all melee units on the field will be one point. When this card was shot, the Skelligee almost squirted out the beer in his mouth, his eyes seemed to pop out because of his wide-open eyes. His combat points have been reduced from ninety-one hits to forty-three.

"No, no! Damn! I still have a sunny card!" The guard shouted dissatisfiedly, waving his arms, but to no avail, he had already given up the right to play "My God, why didn't you just use these two cards? , Otherwise I will never abstain!"

"If you don't have too many points, why would you give up?" Zelin looked at the guards with a somewhat successful eye, trying to catch it. Sometimes when dealing with monsters, Zelin would first attract the monsters to him with weakness to make up for it in advance. Zelin later discovered that this trick was also effective in the Gwent card.

He snapped his fingers, and several companions beside Skellyjie obediently handed him the money bag in their hands. The victory has been divided, and there is no need to continue to resist. He overturned the money bag with one hand. There were about fifty crowns in it. The harvest of the night could just offset his accommodation expenses and still have some surplus. In response, Zelin greeted the maid behind him, "Give us a glass of beer each of these warriors from Skelrige, and count it on my account."

Zelin had seen countless wealthy businessmen lose the last bit of savings in their pockets for a little profit, and he would not let the same thing happen to him. Moreover, if the extra Krona cannot be exchanged for sophisticated armor or weapons, then it is meaningless to him.

Leaving the wine table, Zelin walked to the stairs. At this time, the ticking sound from the window of the stairs caught his attention. He walked quickly to the window and saw that the glass was covered with water drops. Pushing the window slightly, the roaring sound of the heavy rain outside the hotel hitting the ground instantly rushed. Entering the hotel, the cold air was pouring in at the same time as the sound, which caused the other people in the hall to fight a cold war. Zelin raised his head, the sky was overcast, and the moonlight had long been blocked by dark clouds. The endless black cloud was breathless.

"Damn it, it's the storm." Zelin looked embarrassed, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Let's see if the storm will stop for a while. The climate in the northern countries is fickle. The sun is shining at the first moment, and the next moment it may rain heavily. Even a demon hunter would not be willing to drive in a storm, especially because of the heavy rain, the ferry on the Ponta River may be temporarily closed. Without the ferry, Zelin would not be able to cross the river in the spring when the river was flooded.

However, in the heavy rain, Zelin found an unusual place in the corner of his eyes. On the road outside the hotel, a team of well-equipped Redanian soldiers was rushing to the port. The heavy rain reduced visibility outside, and the soldiers did not even light the oil torches. Ordinary people can't see these soldiers, but they can't hide from the eyes of demon hunters. Zelin turned his head and looked towards the entrance of the town. There, a steady stream of soldiers were entering the town from the entrance, and the number was at least 500 people visually.

"Hey, demon hunter, close the window, are you going to freeze us to death?" a maid under the stairs shouted to Zelin dissatisfied

"Oh~ alright." Zelin shook his head and closed the window. What the King of Redania wants to do has nothing to do with him. Demon hunters are not involved in war and politics like wizards and sorcerers. The conspiracy of kings and nobles, Zelin will always stay away.

When he walked to the second floor, the girl should have finished the bath by counting the time. He put one hand on the door handle and prepared to push the door in. Take a good rest in the guest room tonight. If the storm stops tomorrow, it’s okay. If it doesn’t stop, I’m afraid he and the girl will consider where to find a bridge to cross the river nearby. I hope it will not be too far from the town.

Suddenly, the badge on Zelin's neck trembled suddenly, and Zelin looked down at his badge inexplicably. Since he obtained the badge through trials, the badge rarely trembled so violently. The most recent time was in him. When witnessing wild hunting.

Wild hunt...Altria!

Thanks to the family of time, Lu Gao’s generous donation, today is the first one

Chapter Ten Is Ellie Still Dome?

"Altoria!"

Zelin pushed open the door, and the bright golden beast pupils quickly scanned the room, looking for the girl's location. The muscles of the whole body are tense, ready to receive an attack from any direction at any time. Pushing the door with one hand, he touched the silver sword behind him. In addition to the mage, any monster silver sword that can use magic can have an additional effect on them, and the golem made of stones all over the body is no exception.

He will never allow the protected person to be attacked when he is so close to him. This has nothing to do with the amount of remuneration. Only female monsters attacking will not leave her client behind. This has nothing to do with the amount of money, it is related to the most basic creed of the demon hunter. Not to mention that the value of the girl’s information related to wild hunting cannot be measured by money. Moreover, even if there is no wild hunting, Zelin will not let such a good seedling die. The girl’s talent for the Gwent card is enough to prove that she can Becoming an excellent demon hunter, Zelin had no reason to sit back and watch.

I glanced over, and everything seemed normal in the room without the frost that is common when wild hunting appeared, and the flame in the fireplace was emitting a comfortable temperature. The remaining half of the food that was eaten on the table was placed on a tray, and Zelin saw the girl wearing clothes through the purple curtain, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. But the emblem on his chest was still trembling, and Zelin didn't let down his vigilance. As if hearing the sound of his opening the door, the girl's movements stopped, she stretched out a hand to lift a corner of the curtain, poked her head out and looked outside, and asked with some doubt when she saw Zelin.

"What's wrong, Zelin, what happened?"

"Nothing." Zelin moved his gaze away from the girl's white arms and looked to the left-hand window. If someone enters the room, it must be impossible to enter through the front door, otherwise Zelin will definitely find a suspicious person. In general, the road that intruders often follow is the window. Zelin used the vision of a demon hunter to find the suspect's footprint near the window when assisting in the investigation of a murder case. However, the windows of the guest rooms were closed tightly, and there was no trace of being opened.

"Oh, okay." The girl nodded and retracted into the curtain, followed by a sound of overturning clothes. As soon as the girl returned, the innkeeper Yamon's panicked voice came from the door. Zelin turned his head and saw Yameng standing in the doorway panting. Going up the stairs obviously caused a lot of trouble to the fat man. The fat on his face seemed to be shaking from the exhaustion of the master. His squinted little eyes carefully examined all the things in the room, trying to find any traces of damage from them.
