The Journey of the Demon Hunter

In the hotel, if a guest destroys the property of the owner, the saboteur will be sentenced to compensate the owner twice the price of the object according to the law of the Kingdom of Ridania. This is a law made to protect the local residents in the case of business prosperity. However, it is not ruled out that illegal businesses deliberately use this law to deceive passers-by.

"Guest, what's the matter just now." Amon gasped, and his exhaustion seemed to make him forget that the demon hunter standing in front of him was not an ordinary trader. He asked loudly, "First it was blown away by a cool breeze. I passed the fire in the hall, and then I heard someone yelling here again, ha, the great eternal fire, if a group of robbers kick in at this time, I’m afraid I won’t be surprised. There is a thief here. Here?"

"It's nothing." Zelin shook his head. "I just want to come back and close the windows of the guest room after seeing a storm outside." The Demon Hunter will not allow unrelated ordinary people to participate in matters related to Warcraft. This is the matter of the Demon Hunter. , Irrelevant people wait to retreat. Sometimes telling them the truth can cause a lot of panic. Since the problem can be solved quietly in the dark, why should it be made public?

Demon hunters will cut off their heads or iconic parts after successfully hunting large monsters to show their honor. Only when two demon hunters meet will they understand each other’s trophies, but these trophies never It will be displayed in front of ordinary people. They are hunters, not clowns on stage.

"Guest, you didn't tell me the truth." A hint of shrewdness flashed in the eyes of the fat boss. He cunningly stretched out his finger and pointed at the ground next to the window. Any traces outside the splashing bath water. Please, I don’t think you would want me to go to the church to ask a witch hunter to deal with this matter. As long as some small damages are compensated, we can solve it safely and will not trouble you. It will not bother me to take another trip."

"The witch hunters don't care about the demon hunters, they only care whether they catch the warlock or not." Zelin held his chest and looked at the innkeeper with interest. After Amon said something, he understood that the other party just wanted to blackmail him a sum of money. He had the courage to treat the witch hunter as a blackmail businessman. It was the first time he saw "There are no sorcerers and wizards. Does the sound of the collision of Krona coins have made your mind so dizzy that a few witch hunters will help the merchants deal with the hunters." Demon hunter?"

"Stop making trouble, guest, I saw the girl who came with you, so young, but as mature as an adult. Everyone knows that the sorcerer can use magic to make herself young. Besides, Demon Hunter There will be a female warlock lover..." Amon gave a look that everyone knew, and he smiled, "Look, it’s too early, and you probably won’t want to be disturbed by witch hunters who come here. For your interest, only fifty crowns are enough, and I can also provide you with a unicorn to cheer you up, how about it."

It took five seconds for Zelin to understand what the unicorn was in Amon's mouth. He held his forehead and sighed. It is estimated that Zelin made a lot of money playing cards in the lobby just now, so the innkeeper moved his mind. But he didn't understand what kind of danger greed would bring him. Zelin stretched out his other hand and drew the symbol of the seal of Kia in midair. If you don't want to use violence, you can only use the seal of Aksi to solve this situation. You can't tell him that there is a wild hunting victim living in your hotel, and you can hide away if you don't want to cause trouble. It is estimated that he will not believe it.

Zelin raised his hand before he could get the mark of Acxi, but found that the innkeeper in front of him had suddenly become dull, his mouth was open, his throat gurgled, his eyes were slightly pale, and his body was shaking uncontrollably. When he got up, he twisted his waist first, and then turned his lower body to the stairs like a puppet. The whole person suddenly became like a stroke patient, twitching and walking down the stairs. The waiter and maid in the hall looked at her boss strangely, but no one dared to go up and check what had happened. If the boss was in a bad mood, the deduction of wages would not be worth the loss.

"It's incredible that our Mr. Demon Hunter would be blackmailed by a small businessman." An elegant lark-like voice came from behind Zelin. Zelin put down his hand that was still releasing the seal and sighed. Turning to face the unexpected guest who suddenly appeared in the guest room. I saw a delicate-looking woman sitting at the dining table, taking a sip of the fruit wine on it, "interesting, interesting."

She wore a dark red robe, which was placed in front of the lower body to reveal the gray-green lace dress inside. The robe was decorated with bright gold stripes on the shoulders and a ring was specially bulged. It is very Nilfgaard Empire. Style. The robes are separated by elegant arcs at the collar, which perfectly sets off the white skin between her neck and chest and a beautifully crafted golden necklace on her neck. The fluffy hair was held in place by the silver headband, and the remaining hair strands were divided into two **** at the back of the head, tied together by thin red threads. But compared to her appearance, Zelin only needs to see her pointed ears to know her identity.

"Neither did I expect that Francesca Fantabel, one of the five largest members of the Archmage Association, in the Dangtang Mage Council, would come to me, a little demon hunter." Zelin closed the door smoothly and hunted the demon. Hunters appear in this small town to attract the attention of ordinary people at most, but if someone sees Francesca's figure, it will not only attract the attention of ordinary people, I am afraid that relevant information will be sent the next day. The meeting table of the two kings, Redania and Tamoria. As the only elven archmage in the wizard council that controls all the wizards on the entire continent, her whereabouts are the most eye-catching among the northern kingdoms that hate elves.

"Did you open the portal here just now?" Zelin asked, sitting on the other side of the round dining table.

The Elf Archmage nodded, her eyes fixed on the fruit on the table. Zelin had known this powerful mage many years ago, Francesca Fandabe, or called it by her elf name, Enid Ann Gelina, which means "valley daisy" in ancient Chinese. , Some people even call her the most beautiful person in the world, but this has nothing to do with Zelin. Zelin met Francesca at the last meeting of the Wizards of Suny Island. During the period, she helped her make several commissions. That's it.

"No wonder, I thought I had encountered wild hunting again." Zelin sighed, and the explanation was clear. The magic power of the archmage to open the long-distance portal does make the emblem tremble, looking at the wizard mage who is picking up fruit to eat, he spreads his hands, "Are you here just to eat some fruit and drink some fruit wine? Don't tell me Hundred Flowers The valley is no longer dry enough to have no fruit."

Hearing Zelin's words, Francesca smiled and shook her head, "Mr. Zelin, I sent a mage to find you before and asked you to go to the Mahakam Mountains. It stands to reason that you should have arrived long ago."

"Something unexpected happened and my horse was eaten." Zelin explained. "You didn't pay me upfront, and I didn't have extra Krona to buy a new horse. I didn't find a horse to ride until noon today. Horse."

"I'm afraid it's not the only reason." Francesca's mouth turned up slightly, showing a smile grasping the handle. She stretched out her thumb and pointed to the one behind her. At this moment, Altoria just got dressed and walked out of the curtain. The girl didn’t wear armor and only wore a light blue dress. Compared with the heroic knight girl during the day, Altoria now looks more like An ordinary girl next door. The golden hair was wet on the cheeks, more often draped behind him, and then rolled up by a towel. While the wizard mage pointed at the girl, the girl also saw the extra people in the guest room.

"Zelin, your guest?" The girl looked at Zelin with questioning eyes.

"Ah, that's right." Zelin waved his hand to signal the girl to stay calm, turned his head and said flatly to the elf mage, "She is a victim of a wild hunt that I found, so I will take her with her, and she The location is also related to the Mahakam Mountains. I have no reason to ignore such valuable information."

"Is it just a demon hunter and a victim who was helped?" Francesca smiled playfully. "Is it just that?"

"If possible, I want her to be my apprentice. It's been almost a hundred years. She is the most gifted person I have ever seen." Zelin did not hesitate to praise her, looking at Francis. Ka's eyes, he snorted, "You also know that the demon hunter will never be able to give birth. What's the problem with finding someone who can accept my skills."

"Cut~" Francesca rolled her mouth and murmured in a low voice, "As long as she has a beautiful face and a good figure, no matter she is a daughter or a sister, she can become a lover, let alone an apprentice."

Zelin twitched the corner of his mouth, and reached out to the door in a gesture of invitation, "If you just want to come and make fun of me, then I have to say, I won't send it far."

"Okay, let's talk about business." Feeling a little angry in Zelin's heart, Francesca waved her hand and put down the glass in her hand, with a serious look on her face. Now that everyone has arrived, you are the only one who hasn’t felt it. Tisaya-Fries thinks we can just start the ceremony regardless of you, but... it’s always good to have one more helper. We don’t understand what we will face. Kind of monster."

"Yeah, one more demon hunter can have one more cannon fodder in front of the mage." Zelin said mockingly, "Is there only one left? Well, you open the door and we will set off."

"No problem, tell me when you're ready." Francesca nodded in response.

"Get ready to go, Altria." Zelin stood up and said to a confused girl. "Put on your armor and we will go to the Mahakam Mountains. If possible, we should be able to do it in a few days. Send you back."

Second more...

Chapter 11 The Card Game to Save the World

Seeing the portal opened by Francesca, Zelin pursed his mouth. If he could, he would rather jostle on horseback for a few days than walk into the portal, even if he went forward in a storm, he felt better than the moment he walked into the portal. Although he knew that this was a harmless portal, Zelin would always imagine that he would put his unprotected hand into a honeycomb full of ants. Originally, he would only use the portal as an observer when the Suny Island Wizards Council was convened. It seems that this will be added again this year.

"This is..." Altria looked at the dark golden vortex that appeared out of thin air in the guest room with surprise. The surrounding vortex was as bright as flames, and the color became darker toward the center. At the center of the vortex, a burst of The portal as deep as the night sky gradually took shape. The girl seemed to have never seen such a magic. She subconsciously touched the long sword at her waist, but after seeing Zelin unmoved, the iron gloved arm retracted quietly, but None of this escaped Zelin's eyes.

"Portal, if Ms. Francesca did not open the door to the bottom of the sea due to drinking too much fruit wine, then the opposite should be the Mahakam Mountains." Zelin pretended not to see the little action of the girl just now, many people first The first time he saw teleportation magic, his performance may not be as good as that of a girl. When Zelin was studying at the Griffin School academy to become a demon hunter, he saw the portal that appeared out of thin air outside the academy for the first time. He thought there was something new. Monster.

But after so many years, even if a dragon fell in front of Zelin, he would not panic. Zelin stretched out his hand and introduced to the girl, "Although it is harmless, uh... the first time you walk in, you may feel a little uncomfortable. Don't be nervous and relax. Also, if you feel the light is dazzling, You can close your eyes, teleportation is only a momentary matter, but when you come out, you feel a force pushing you suddenly behind your back. It is best to be careful not to let yourself fall when you go out."

"I'm not that group of third-rate warlocks who will open the door to the bottom of the sea. Perhaps it is a good idea to open the door three hundred meters above the Mahakam Mountains, so that I can know if the demon hunter can fly to the sky." Hear Zellin teased herself, Francesca pinched her waist and turned her head sarcastically, and then she waved to Altria, "Come on girl, don't be afraid, this is just a door, not a monster mouth that will eat you," Don't listen to the nonsense of this demon hunter, the spell is always safe, especially in the hands of people who know how to use it."

Francesca took the girl's hand and walked into the portal. Zelin knew the idea of ​​the wizard wizard. For a girl who has never been in contact with magic in this world, it is much safer to go through a portal with an arch wizard than with a magic hunter who is a layman. He shook his head, followed the girl and lifted his foot into the portal. For a moment, he seemed to walk into a brilliant white light, which was different from the darkness outside the portal, where there was nothing but the dazzling white light. It seems to contain infinite brightness and infinite thickness here. Zelin can't feel his own existence, can't move, has no sense, hearing, or smell. This is exactly where Zelin doesn't like portals. Among them, he trusts most. Everything was deprived.

Time passed by one second, and it seemed that a year had passed, time stretched forward infinitely, as if everything was still at the moment he stepped into the door. In an eternal moment, everything was condensed together at the same moment. Suddenly, as if a bubble was punctured and the air in it escaped, Zelin seemed to be thrown out of the portal, but he had already experienced it. He let his feet stand firmly on the ground. When the blunt touch under the soft leather boots came, Zelin regained his perception, as if he had come back to life again. The cool breeze from the mountains blew over his hair, and there was silence around him. Except for the bugs that rang from time to time, there was only the creaking sound of stepping on the gravel.

Taking a deep breath, Zelin looked around to find Altria's figure, and soon he found the girl sitting on the ground and her slightly pale face five meters in front of him. Obviously, the girl's first portal experience was not so perfect, but there was no dust on her body from scratches or falling, which made Zelin breathe a sigh of relief. Francesca stood beside the girl and saw Zelin walk out of the portal, she beckoned, "Come on, everyone else is waiting for us, tonight is a new full moon, there is not much time, once you miss us I can only wait for next month."

"I know." Zelin shrugged, and the portal that lost its magical support behind him quickly disappeared into nothing. He walked quickly to the girl's side, and he reached out his hand with concern and asked the girl with a slightly improved face, "Are you okay? If you feel uncomfortable, I have a bottle of Tamoria ale here. Drinking it will make you feel better." Zelin looked up at the sky. The dark clouds covered most of the stars and moonlight, but he was still able to distinguish the specific situation. Francesca was right. At two o'clock in the morning at the full moon, it was the chaotic force on this continent. When I was most active, and now it’s close to midnight. "Sorry, I’m afraid we don’t have much time to rest here. Time waits for no one."

"I'm okay." The girl took a sip from the wine bottle that Zelin had handed him, and then took his arm to stand up. , I would rather endure it again."

"It might be a blessing for Britain to have a king like you." Zelin put the vial back into the leather bag around his waist, and followed Francesca to the mountains with the girl.

Mahakam is located in the mountains at the junction of Temoria, Aden, Sorden, and Leiria, and can be almost the center of the northern region. But it is not an uninhabited barren mountain. It is a non-human gregarious place headed by dwarves. It is legally under the jurisdiction of the King of Tamoria, but it enjoys a high degree of autonomy. Its emblem is pale yellow. For the background color, two black blacksmith's hammers are crossed on top. The mountains are rich in minerals and are considered the hometown of skilled craftsmen dwarves.

There are most of the mines, foundries, forging plants and arsenals in the north. The quality of iron ore produced in this area is considered to be the best in the world. In addition to iron ore, it is also the most famous arsenal in the world. The craftsmanship of the dwarves and gnomes here is first-rate. It is the largest exporter of materials in the north, and almost all northern countries and Nifogad have purchased weapons and armor here. But if the dwarf doesn't want to see you, the stranger will only get in vain when entering the mountains. Perhaps this is why the girl wandered in the mountains for several days but did not see a dwarf.

"We have reached an agreement with the dwarf elder Broval Hogg here. He will keep all the nearby dwarves away from this area. No one will disturb us when we perform the ceremony." Francesca said on the road. Zelin explained that "not all dwarves are satisfied with Hogg's rule, but none of those dwarves will stay in the Mahakam Mountains."

"So the name of the troublesome dwarf can be removed from the enemies I may face, right?" Fighting with the dwarves is not a good idea, especially in the mountains. It is estimated that this is also the low profile of the arrogant wizard council to negotiate with the dwarves. The reason. But no matter what price the council pays to let the dwarves exit this area, this is a good thing for Zelin, save unnecessary trouble, why not do it.

"The same can be said." The destination was not far from where Francesca opened the portal. Just going around a hill, Zelin immediately saw the ruined castle towering in the mountains not far away after turning the corner. The castle seems to have been around for many years from the outside. The loose walls are full of cracks. Many cracks have reached the point where you can observe the inside of the castle. It seems that the castle will be blown down by a gust of wind in the next second, but Zelin could imagine the former glory of the castle. Relying on the difficult terrain, the castle was almost built into the mountain. As long as there is sufficient food, the people in the castle can easily be sieged by an army.

Walking into the courtyard, it was covered with weeds. After losing its owner, this place has become a paradise for animals and plants. Some laurel trees surrounded the city wall. Zelin felt that this should have been planted deliberately, but at this time the castle was abandoned for a long time, and the trees that no one cared for became a little sluggish. In addition to the weeds and fruit trees and the mice that crawled by from time to time, Zelin also saw the others mentioned by Francis Carr.

Hen Gedides, Tisya Friss, Rogwin’s Wigfitz and Arnold Trannova, plus Francesca Fantabel, the master of the Brotherhood of Masters All the five archmages in the Mage Association expired. This person Zelin had a bad feeling in his heart. When there was a wild hunt that year, he had never seen so many archmages gathered together. In addition to the mage, he also saw several familiar demon hunters.

"Oh~ Zelin, you finally arrived." Among the several demon hunters, a person who also carried the griffon emblem greeted Zelin when he saw Zelin. His name is George. He is younger than Zelin, but it is within a few years. As a person of the same school, he has a good relationship with Zelin. "During this period, I heard a businessman from Kovind mentioned stories about you. Recently How's it going."

"I'm okay, George, how about you" Zelin waved his hand non-committal, and then asked, "Are you hunting another monster?"

"I heard that someone saw the trail of a dragon recently. It was an adult green dragon. The last sighting was recorded in Willen. I was about to rush, but they were pulled over." George sighed displeasedly, "I have been tracking." I’ve been with that dragon for three months. Damn it, I don’t want it to run away like this. And they said they have to wait another half an hour, my God, that dragon can fly out dozens of miles in half an hour." I was chatting with George. At that time, the remaining three demon hunters also came over and looked at the emblems under their necks, a wolf school, a snake school and a bear school demon hunters, and two of them also knew Zelin.

"Don't mind, George, maybe that green dragon will eat barbecue somewhere and wait for you." After comforting his colleague, Zelin looked at the others. "Fortunately, Geralt, I didn't expect to be here. See you. And you, Resso, I thought you were preparing a new Snake School in Nilfgard in the south." Zelin turned around and greeted the two demon hunters, and at the same time looked at the last bear he didn't recognize. School of Demon Hunter. His strong body makes him look like a bear. "Five demon hunters and five mages, just so, are we going to save the world, or are we just going to have a Gwent brand fight."

"The mages are still playing up their rituals, I don't mind having a game" the demon hunter of the Bear School said buzzingly, "My name is Gede, I am glad to meet you."

After shaking hands with several people to show friendship, Zelin looked at George, Geralt and Resso inquiringly. They were not good at talking except George, but Zelin knew exactly what they liked. "I'm in Covind." I heard your rumors, Geralt of Livia, the master of sieve and playing cards, should you come to a duel to warm up before knowing exactly what they want us to fight against?" Said, Zelin He took out his own Gwent deck "Come on, it's still early, why not have fun?"

Chapter 12 Today I invite you all to have hot pot

"Today, I invite you all to have hot pot, pooh, and play cards. Quinte is a local feature, so we can't help but come to a game, the future of the world, the future of hunting, let's talk while playing."

Five demon hunters sat cross-legged and took out their respective decks from their packages. Zelin, as always, took out the Northern Territory decks he relied on to make money. Geralt had the same decks as his. Resso used a set of Nilfgard Empire decks. The leader card in George's hand, Eridin, the King of Wild Hunt, indicated that he was using a monster deck. Gerd's deck was a little bit beyond Zelin's expectation. The big man will actually use the Squirrel Party deck that the Northerners hate the most.

"Oh~ I really want to win all the good cards in your hand" George, who is from the same school as Zelin, smacked his lips and drew ten basic cards from a set of cards. Seeing his frowned brows, it seems that he is not very lucky." Do you know, I have a friend in the free city of Novigrad. He owed a large amount of money to a local gang boss because of business problems, so he hired me..."

"Hire you to kill the gang boss? Interesting" Guret's Resso asked coldly, while throwing out an imperial class. This demon hunter is indeed like his school, with tight muscles and a scar on his bald head almost from the left eye to the back of his head. His calm eyes are always looking for the flaws of his opponent, like a hiding in the shadows. Viper, no one dares to underestimate his power when he broke out.

"No, no, I'm not a madman of the cat school." George muttered in disgust. The cat school that Reso said is different from other schools of demon hunters. They have become a group of assassins for money. However, it is ridiculous that the school that deviates from the creed of demon hunters is more prosperous than other schools, because they His behavior is in the interest of the noble lords. "My friend just hoped that I could protect him from being robbed on the auction house. He decided to concentrate on running the Gwent brand business to repay his debts. Do you know that a good card can be used? The auction house sold them at sky-high prices, and he ordered a few squirrel parties, which consumed almost all of his savings."
