The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Nonsense, can the Demon Hunter's cards be bid to give away?...Teach! It doesn't count as a give away!" Zelin blocked his 20-card deck with one hand, turning his wrist and retracting it in the bag in the blink of an eye.

Zelin was very happy for George's arrival, and it was a good thing for the college he planned to rebuild to have a demon hunter who was also in the Griffin school. In any case, in an era when demon hunters were so rare, he didn't want to hear more rumors of the terrible and miserable deaths of hunters. In fact, within half a year of Zelin's departure, rumors about his death in the hands of various monsters began to appear.

"Transfiguration." While Captain Water Mouse was chatting with two girls drying clothes, Geralt suddenly said, "The Mayor Larry, it must have a problem."

"Of course he has a problem." Zelin nodded. "But it doesn't matter. He doesn't like demon hunters, but he can't stop us from going to town."

"Why?"

Zelin thought of the last time he came to the floating port and shrugged. "A businessman friend from Aibin once suggested that I spend money to buy the largest building in the floating port. Yes, it is the only hotel." Zelin went to the floating port. After a look at the door, Mayor Larry was hiding near the wall, squinting his small eyes to look at the demon hunters. He smiled. "He said that anything related to demon hunters is not allowed to appear in the floating port. So I told him that the hotel is also related to me, you can go and turn it off. Then he left."

"It must have cost you half a year of money." George frowned. "Why are you doing this? You can't plan to put down the sword and go to the counter and the books."

"Of course not." Zelin shook his head. "But the Ebin who had strange ideas all day said that instead of stuffing the coins into a box and throwing them into the basement to get moldy, it is better to spend them out and let them produce more... Value? Who knows what it is, but the effect looks good. Anyway, all of this is left to the Aibin people. At least I can have enough dried meat and salted fish in my castle every day. Fill your stomach and run around."

"That is to say..." George looked at the jerky he had brought from the tavern. "The money I paid for this finally slipped into your pocket?"

"In a sense..." Zelin thought of the business theories that Aibin had said about business, such as not being able to change the trading rules according to his own preferences. In response, he shook his head, "Forget about the **** things! Wait a while and get a barrel of wine. This time I ask, let's continue. The game just now doesn't count. Let's start again. George, leave you with me. Give me all the cards you play. In the name of the Griffin School, I cannot lose!"

Chapter 338 Objective: Towsonte

George is very supportive of the rebuilding of the academy by his brothers of the same school. He will stay in the castle for a few days and then help design the trial trails needed for training in the academy. Zelin made some suggestions for improvement, such as adding more high-altitude balance training and climbing and jumping exercises, many of which were inspired by Ezio's assassin training. Perhaps in addition to swordsmanship and combat, the training of demon hunters should also add some non-combat but valuable parts.

According to the previous plan, Zelin planned to go to the south. In addition to the wolf school, the most complete school of demon hunters is undoubtedly the southern snake school. If Zelin's plan to rebuild the academy can be supported by these snakes, it will undoubtedly be a good thing. The Viper School is proficient in the refining of potions and decoctions, as well as the making of magic bombs. It is said that they still retain many details of the trials of grass and the recipes of potions that have long been lost to the northern demon hunters. If you want to combine the alchemy of Skyrim to improve the magic potions of the demon hunters, the help of these poisonous snake demon hunters is undoubtedly very important.

Of course, Zelin will not go deep into the south. If the news is correct, the conflicts on both sides of the Yarlunga River are intensifying. Many missionaries from the south are constantly infiltrating the north. They shouted the white flame of saving the world and said something. White winter is approaching, followed by white light. The world will be reborn in the white flames, and the new white queen will rule the world and lead people to a new life. The white flame is undoubtedly talking about Emperor Enhill of Nilfgard-the white flame dancing on the enemy's grave.

Zelin just laughed at these propaganda prophecies, and the Nilfgard people borrowed from Islinni's prophecies. No one knows what hoarfrost is, maybe it is a kind of tiny dust that can block the sun? Perhaps it is, as Ben Ad’s warlock scholar Democritus said, it is an infinitesimal particle with anomalous properties that absorbs warmth like a sponge absorbing water? However, there are two points that can be confirmed. As long as hoarfrost appears in the galaxy, the entire planet will become lifeless ice in a few decades. And Hoarfrost will come to this world sooner or later.

But certainly not in the past 100 years.

In response to the invasion of imperial missionaries, the northern kingdoms began to strengthen their support for Sintra, Anglin, and Nasser's restoration forces. There is also the rebel army led by the Duchy of Ebin. It is reported that after the Empire’s Black Army entered the Duchy of Ebin, the entire duchy became a paradise for crows. Various corpse-eating monsters appeared and competed with the crows. Corpses on the battlefield, or rushed into villages where people still live, to make corpses. A paradise for crows, monsters and bandits is also a place where demon hunters are needed.

However, Zelin would not plunge into the hornet's nest, he would enter the south, and then stop in a safer place near the Principality of Ebin, near the north. There will definitely be a demon hunter going there, he should be able to inquire about the Viper School.

As for the destination.

"I'm going to Towsonte."

Standing on the wharf under the Baron of La Varetti, Arion, the young baron of La Varetti, is taking a few knights to patrol the port. Since the death of the old baron, this important baron has been Twenty-year-old young knight inherited. It is rumored that King Foltest and the young baroness who is a widow here have **** with each other, and Zelin’s attitude is no different from other ordinary people. .

Looking at the team of knights passing by, Zelin said to Geralt, "Do you need my help to bring a letter to Hilly? Anyway, I have to pass by Ailand."

Geralt pursed his lips. Finally, he shook his head. "...No, I believe Nanika will take care of Hiri."

"Okay." Zelin took a deep breath. "If you are in trouble, either you or Xili can come to me, or Gnaiya is fine. I think Xili should get along with her. If you are in Austria Sunfert was entangled by those spies. Professor Latis of the academy and Xia Ni, a student of the medical school, are my friends. They should be able to help you avoid the academy. By the way, thank you Latis for me, if not His letter, I am afraid I can only find a way to build a tomb for George."

"Dandrine mentioned that he has a classmate named Xia Ni, if she is your friend, I know." Jello nodded his head.

"Good luck to you."

"If you meet Eskell in the south, remember to say hello to him for me."

Zelin rode the canola. Along the way, he saw many hurried businessmen. After the war, the soldiers of Temoria set out to deal with the domestic squirrel party and thieves. Although the threat of the squirrel party still exists, people cannot Because of the dangers in the forest, I hide at home and shiver. After all, people want to eat. Not everyone can wield a **** in the farmland. Some people are suitable to carry a variety of goods and go to different places to earn more. Much money.

Few people will have trouble with money, but when money and life are on the same scale, most people can tell which is more important. Even if it is expensive to hire a demon hunter as a guard, there will be caravans willing to pay to hire a sword master. After all, no one knows whether the strong muscles of other mercenaries who look fierce can only make him run faster when he sees robbers. Demon hunters are notorious. Many robbers will not take the initiative to rob a hunter. The caravan guarded by the demon hunters, they robbed to make money, but not to send themselves to the cemetery.

"This is a good pay, fifty Oren."

In Martina City, Zelin took a bag of coins from the merchant. In peace times, caravans began to increase again. If nothing else, he could find a new caravan in Martina, head to Bruno, and then cross the river into Sintra through Bruno. And to the right of the Amer Mountains in the south of Sintra is Tausente. Together with the caravan, he can save a lot of money.

"No problem, I will guarantee your safety."

In a gold and silverware shop in Martina, Zelin found a new employer, a merchant who had just bought in the shop. Like other employers, he didn't like to say anything to demon hunters. He kept his waist straight and raised his chin to assume a calm and indifferent appearance, but Zelin was sure that if he showed any viciousness at this time, the opponent would immediately turn his head and run.

The owner of the gold and silverware shop was wiping the silver plate and looked at Zelin, who was making a deal with the businessman. He was a hunched and capable old man. He didn't put down the silver plate until the businessman left. "A living demon hunter," God, I haven't seen a real demon hunter for almost ten years, but there are guys who pretend to be demon hunters to cheat money and think they are very powerful with two swords on their backs."

"But I don't think those crooks will have this badge." Zelin nodded his chest.

There were not many people in the shop, only a woman in a dark cotton-padded coat was counting the Oren she had sold for silverware. Zelin's words made the woman glance at him, and then turned her gaze to the boss." These Oren are too few, and prices are rising now. You can't just give me these coins and want to buy four good silverware."

"Oh ~ Xi Anna, you know my principle, what price is what price, your silverware has signs of damage, that will greatly reduce the value." The boss complained, "If it is not based on our transaction For good reason, I will not accept your silverware...Oh, Dilav, you are here, what do you want to buy?"

Zelin turned his head and stared at the tall young man who walked in from the door. His face was pale and he looked malnourished. The man called Dilav rolled his eyes and glanced at the two people in the shop, and then went straight to the boss. He looked nervous, as if someone who didn't like socializing was thrown into the center of the ball. But for the demon hunter, his intuition gave him a dangerous warning.

"I want to buy a candlestick."

"One hundred and twenty Oren. Oh, Dilav, I didn't raise the price on purpose. You know, Oren is becoming less and less valuable now..."

Before the boss's explanation was finished, the man took out a bag of coins, which contained twelve large coins. This is the product of the latest reform plan of the Chancellor of the Exchequer of Foltest. Coins are becoming less and less valuable. People cannot buy things with hundreds or thousands of Oren. Those coins are heavy enough to be pulled by a carriage. So Vizima's mint produced these coins with a higher gold content equal to ten oren.

"Oh, great, this is your candlestick, Dilav, made of sterling silver. It is definitely worth the money." The boss bent down and took out a silver candlestick from the cabinet below. With one click, the weight is absolutely okay."

"Yeah." Dilav replied in a muffled voice, wrapped the candlestick with a cloth, held it in both hands, and then turned his head and left without saying a word.

"Did you see, Xianna, even if Dilav only sells toys in the city, he will not argue with me over the price of gold and silverware. I am a professional..." The boss smiled and took the coins under the counter and turned When I went too far, I found that the place where the woman was before was already empty. "Hey? Where is she?"

"Just got out." Zelin looked at the door and folded his arms. "How much do you know about that Dilav?"

"Di Lav? Oh, let me think about it." The boss frowned. "I can't remember when he came to Martina. He rarely talks to people. There is a toy store in the north corner of the city, no one. I know if he has other family and relatives. But he is very honest, and sometimes gives toys to children who play near the shop. Compared with the idle guys, Dilav is a good person."

"A good ‘person’? Thank you for telling me this." The demon hunter narrowed his eyes, touched the potion bag on his waist with one hand, and walked out of the gold and silver shop.

PS: In fact, six thousand words should be regarded as three shifts _(:зゝ∠)_

Chapter 329 Playing with Fire

Before Zelin got the demon hunter badge, his mentor often warned him that if you are in danger and don't have weapons that can fight monsters, then use anything silver-plated to deal with them. Silver artifacts have miraculous effects on many monsters. For some creatures, such as secret agents and vampires, when their skin touches silver, it is no less than human skin when it touches a fiery red soldering iron.

This is also one of the ways to distinguish monsters. Apart from a few specific races, who is afraid of silver?

Zelin patted the griffin leather armor on his body, and the leather pad on his forearm secured the protective plate tied to the lasso. This dark green shirt might make him stand out from the crowd, but Zelin didn't think he would not recognize a demon hunter by changing his clothes. The ebony blade brought from Tamriel is still hung in the back of the sword sleeve. He loves this weapon that can easily cut steel. As for the enchanted dwarf sword, it stayed in the castle, replaced by the griffon silver sword that was repaired at a cost. Perhaps this sword seems inadequate to deal with the monsters of Skyrim, but in his world, the silver sword can restrain most monsters.

Moreover, the shiny golden weapons are like bait left to attract thieves. Even the silver swords are only silver-plated. If the weapons made of pure silver are enough to make many people take risks, let alone a decoration made of similar gold. Sword.

"You followed a dangerous person."

Standing on the corner of the street, Zelin saw Xi Anna who was heading into the alley, "I suggest you leave with the money you earned from selling silverware."

But Xi Anna hasn't been scared by the people she followed, but by the demon hunter.

"Who are you again?" She patted her chest and frowned slightly "Oh~ I remember, demon hunter, you don't have to go outside the city to hunt monsters, what are you doing in the city. I will go Where to go, what does it have to do with you?"

"You should be grateful that I am a demon hunter and not a city guard. I heard your name is Xianna. If I were you, I would not bring such silverware to the city to sell." Zelin folded his arms around his chest. , The right hand hidden under the left arm touched the short knife hidden under the side clothes. "If I guessed right, the dent on the bottom of the silver pot should be the result of hitting with an axe. Which idiot would hit with an axe? Your own silverware? Unless the silverware was originally not yours, and it was hidden in a sealed box that needs to be knocked open. Let me guess, you or your accomplices robbed an unlucky person and knocked it with an axe Opening his travel suitcase, the result was that because the suitcase was too small, the tools used to unpack it hit the silverware underneath, which left such dents."

"That's good, but it's meaningless." Xi Anna's hand is behind her back. She is a tall woman, but this rough leather coat can hide many things, such as a small crossbow or a short dagger. The material of the clothes is just simple linen, but the exquisite sewing needles make up for this shortcoming, making the clothes look fit and decent. There are some unnatural bulges under the loose cuffs, which should be hidden sleeve pockets. "What evidence do you have to prove that what you said is correct? Maybe I just used the damaged silverware at home in exchange for some money. What are you going to do? Go to the guard and accuse me?"

"I am not interested in arguing with you."

Zelin took a deep breath and walked straight past the opponent.
