The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Yes, I am a wandering knight, but I am also a knight."

PS: Professor Moru did the experiment in 1101, the Witcher 3 was in 1273, and now the plot has progressed to the fall of 1266. So the standard 12th-century laboratory refers to the time in the world of the Demon Hunter from 1100 to 1199. Just don’t bring it to the earth.

Chapter 357 Night Manor

Casteldachiya Manor is not far from Usar Fort.

Outside is a fenced vineyard, which separates the flock of Tousant Merano sheep from the vines, whose wool is so expensive on the manor ranch. Knight Massimos Maclino bought the land with the reward given by Duchess Anna when he retired and built this manor. If it weren't for the robbers' union again, the old knight would probably stay in his manor and lead a leisurely life of clearing wool, managing grapes, removing pests, and bargaining with purchasers.

The manor is surrounded by a two-meter-high stone wall. Some sharpened wooden stakes stand upside down at the door. The manor has no servants and seven or eight armed attendants. When Maclino returned to the manor on horseback, the servants of the manor greeted him, unarmed his master, and held the horse. His wife was preparing dinner in the largest long house in the manor. Hearing the sound of her husband returning, she poked her head out of the window and smiled at her husband. It was his child who was wielding a wooden sword who came out to greet him.

"Jon, I've already told you, go back to read the book obediently, your teacher will be there in two days, don't play with your toys all day."

The knight rubbed his son's head fondly, and then turned his eyes to the servant who seemed to be entangled in how to treat Zelin. "This is my guest. Prepare a room for him and take care of his horse." He told the demon hunter. Said "Welcome to my manor, take a rest, and then we will talk about how to deal with those robbers, in the name of glory, I can't bear these villains raging on the land I love!"

"But Dad! I want to be a knight when I grow up!" The little boy protested with a wooden sword in his arms.

"Hurry up and put the toy down, go back to the house, and read the book!"

The knight became stern again, and his son had to hand over the wooden sword to the servant on the side, and obediently returned to the long house.

"You don't seem to want your son to inherit your business?"

"I hope my son can live more decently in Bowkerland, instead of spending the whole day in the wilderness, eating and sleeping." The old knight cleared his throat. "He is my son after all. I hope he can inherit the virtues of knights, but I am more I hope he can become a wine merchant."

"After all, the life of a merchant is much more decent than a knight, and it is more comfortable and safer, right?"

Maclino did not deny it, but sighed "I'm getting old."

Regarding Tynesell’s news, Knight Maclinor didn’t see the elf either. He suggested that the demon hunter stay overnight in the manor. When his brothers came to the manor the next day, they would always be there. The knights patrolling the wilderness inquire, maybe they will have news.

Zelin agreed with this, so that he could not only find the elf, but also find a way to retrieve the master's drawings. He couldn't think of a better way than this. The gate of Heshan Castle is normally closed, and there is even a crossbow on the wall, which is the same posture as Kyle Mohan, but there are hundreds of well-equipped ones. Armed robbers, and even more than a dozen horses, the Principality’s garrison failed to take advantage of Heshan.

The knight and his wife and son had dinner together, while Zelin looked through the slightly yellowed drawings in the side room and began to draw on another piece of paper imitating the blueprint. I don't know how many years have passed since these blueprints. Zelin didn't want to lose the blueprints he got because of some reasons. Instead, he might as well make a few copies of the blueprints now in case of any accidents. He was really worried about whether these blueprints would turn into ashes after a gust of wind passed.

Boots, gloves and pants, the most important silver sword, iron sword and breastplate should be in Heshan Castle. This was when he was happiest. An ancient demon hunter's strongest armor blueprint was placed in front of him. It was really a right decision for him to come to Towsonte.

After dinner at the manor was over, and after the knight’s wife and son went to bed, Maclino began to discuss tomorrow's plans with the demon hunter.

"Heshan Bandit Merchants’ Union, I know their leader, Philip Witton, the son of Sir Whitecheek Gubo Witton, with a badge of White Crow. He was once a knight in Towson, and later, he gambled Shang Ying wanted to fight me in a life-and-death duel, I agreed, and then defeated him in the duel."

"Obviously, you didn't kill him."

"Yes, he was still young at the time. The knight should be winning or showing his kindness. This is the right and duty of the winner. So I chose to spare his life, and he also left Tousent after the duel and whereabouts. I don’t know. I thought he would never come back after losing his honor.” He sighed again. “Now it seems that I was wrong. If I knew then that a momentary kindness would kill so many people, I would rather not accept the crowd. The cheers of the audience and the ease. I must correct my mistakes."

"Rely on two people to attack that heavily guarded castle? What is your plan?"

"A week ago, my knight brother told me that the bandit leader who occupies Heshan Castle is Philip. He brought a lot of bandits outside, especially Aibin. Recently, bandits are in trouble. I even saw bandits wearing clothes. The standard equipment of the Imperial Legion.” The knight patted his breastplate. “My knight brothers have already contacted many colleagues. Fighting servants and rebels, if we can have a demon hunter to help break through the city gates, we can rush to the castle and purge these villains before they harm more innocent and good people! If no one stops them, these will become a success. Bands of robbers will definitely attack villages in the wilderness and kill villagers!"

The knights tried to use the siege hammer to break open the castle gate, but the heavy siege hammer moved slowly on the slopes of Heshan. Before they could get close to the gate, they would be shot to pieces by the crossbow on the wall. Several loyal servants have been lost.

"As long as it is not a city gate made of steel, leave it to me."

The wooden gate is meaningless in front of Alderfa Seal, or throw a dragon dream, and then use the Ignatius Seal to ignite the air to burn the gate. Ranger knights and their servants can take the opportunity to get in. It was impossible for the bed crossbow to find the demon hunter, and once it rushed into the castle, the defense weapon was useless.

"Tomorrow morning, the other brothers will gather at the ruins of Usar, and then go to Qinghe Heshan Castle together. We will go together tomorrow and have a good rest tonight. If you have any questions, ask my servant. You are my most respected guest."

This is not the first time Zelin has lived in someone else's manor. The most recent time was before he went to Rome, in the manor of the Monteriggioni Auditore family, where the owner was Ezio.

Thanks to the habit of observing the rules, he has no enemies, which allows him to close his eyes and sleep on the bed. But for the sense of crisis in his heart, he still chose to close his eyes and meditate, which allowed him to prepare the bombs and potions he needed before dawn. In order to obtain the drawings, he needs perfect preparation.

But what awakens the demon hunter is not the **** crow in the morning, but the barking of the hound in the middle of the night.

Chapter 358 Fire and Sword

The sound of dog barking, shouting, screaming, sword collision and yelling passed into the ears of the demon hunter through the door panel, awakening him from meditation.

He stood up, patted the dust on his trousers, and stomped his feet to restore flexibility to his knees that had been bent for several hours. Maclino is a tolerant master and a knight who is not so wary and prejudiced against the demon hunter. He did not ask the demon hunter who lived in his manor the first day he saw a weapon, nor did he He is not allowed to carry weapons with him or store them in the manor warehouse.

The virtues of the knight helped him.

Zelin held the long sword and kicked open the wooden door that seemed to be blocked by something from the outside. The splashing sparks were wrapped in the cold wind blowing in. This is the side house of the manor, and the partition wall is the servant’s residence. It is the collapsed wooden frame beside the side house that blocks the door. There were originally piled many wooden boxes, which were full of vineyard sundries and tools used by the servants. But now there was a flame there, and the wooden frame of the visiting box fell down just in front of the door.

The culprit was the bandits who were brandishing machetes, halberds and torches and burning the entire manor.

Maclino had already put on his armor and brandished a two-handed sword, so that the surrounding thugs could not get close, and there were two corpses of thieves lying around. It may be that Zelin’s arrival made the knight decide to go out tomorrow. Tonight some servants arranged their armors and polished their weapons to prepare for the armed attendants who followed the knights the next day. So when the bandits attacked, someone issued a warning. Alert. Otherwise, it is impossible for the dozens of people in the manor to sleep normally, and only two night attendants may be attacked by premeditated robbers before they can give a warning.

At least it's better to wear armor to fight the enemy than to be dragged off the bed by a robber in pajamas.

As soon as Zelin used Alderfayin to push away the burning stake across the door, a frightened horse ran over and almost hit him. The house was burning, and the robbers began to forcibly attack after they were discovered, burning the house and the fence. The door shaft on one side of the originally closed door had been burnt, and the broken door panel was lying reclining in the fire beside the door rail. The flames of the long house and the side house danced unscrupulously, and the rising plume of smoke almost obscured the moon in the sky of the manor.

The three gangsters successfully pulled the knight off the horse and threw out the two-handed sword. Maklino held the shield behind his back with both hands and stood in front of him to resist the attack of a gangster riding on him, one with an axe and the other with an axe. Short swords, two robbers are constantly hacking the knight’s plate armor and shield with their weapons. Another man with a Nilfgard eagle wing helmet has obviously received military training and knows how to deal with a knight dressed in iron cans. . He may be a deserter, holding a spear, trying to pierce the gap in the knight's armor link.

A scream was extra noticeable in the chaos.

The two armed attendants guarding the longhouse had their throats cut open. Three robbers dragged the knight’s wife and son out from inside. One was holding the child and putting a rope around the boy’s neck. The other end had been thrown away. On the branches of the courtyard. The robber who was holding the knight's wife kicked and beat her, and the other one tore his clothes and unzipped his belt. The wife wanted to protect her child, but she couldn't break free from the robber.

The maid’s screams and the robber’s presumptuous laughter came from the house. The servants were either killed or ran away. Only three armed servants in disheveled clothes holding swords were hiding in the narrow door of the warehouse, using shields and swords to fend off the robbers who attacked them. Several torches were thrown on the top of the warehouse. The robbers planned to burn down the entire building and burn the building to death with the people who were still alive. The attendants could not hold on for long, just like their masters.

Mark Norlin's shield is getting lower and lower, almost sticking to his body, his family crest is almost invisible on the pitted shield, and the helmet has been distorted due to the attack. It is estimated that within ten seconds, the intruder will be able to smash his internal organs out of his armor and body.

"Save my wife and children!"

Through the gap in the visor, the knight saw the demon hunter who had just cut off a robber's head and shouted, but then his voice was drowned out by the roar of the intruder.

"He killed Geffer! Shattered his head!"

"Hang him!"

"Cut off his hands and feet and throw him into the fire to burn to death!"

Four robbers, three holding a machete, and one holding a halberd in both hands rushed towards him. Zelin was almost five steps away from the knight, and the knight’s wife and children were at the other end of the manor’s courtyard. Of course he could rescue him first. Knight, but a gangster has hung a little boy who is almost powerless to scream from a tree. Now he is shaking and struggling like a fish caught from the water, making the branches creak and creak and leaves like raindrops. Like falling down.

The demon hunter squinted his eyes, he bent down, avoided the sweeping halberd, slapped his palm to the ground, and Alderfayin exploded. The four robbers around were caught off guard, the three behind them fell back to the ground, and the nearest robber wearing a breastplate was directly frozen in the cold of Alder, and then his chest was cut open.

Zelin passed an unrecognizable corpse, and the robber who was hitting the knight's helmet with the axe on the back stood up. He wanted to chop the demon hunter's neck from the left side, but he rushed into the air. His opponent was much faster than he expected. In the blink of an eye, the sword of the demon hunter pierced his throat. But his body didn't have time to react at all, and before his swinging arm could fall down, he could only watch his throat pierced by the sword's edge.

The axe slipped from his hand, and the intruder clutched his throat that had been cut in half, fell to the ground and convulsed, making an inexplicable grunt. The demon hunter had cut off the spear stabbed by the deserter, and patted one hand at the junction of the deserter's breastplate and helmet, and the flames of Ignifa Seal penetrated through the gap in the armor like a cunning snake. The deserter had been piercing the knight's armor gap with his spear, and the spear tip was covered with blood. But this time, he felt the pain of attacking from the gap in the armor.

The demon hunter kicked away the screaming robber, raised his hand to the distance and drew an inverted triangle rune in mid-air.

Losing the constraints of the two enemies, the knight broke free from the bandit riding on him, and in turn pinched his throat with one hand, and the other fist with a steel fist hit the intruder's face fiercely. The robber's nose seemed to be flattened, and the blood flew out with the broken teeth, and then the body that was thrown out turned around in mid-air, his head hit the garden tree, his neck twisted at a strange angle, and he didn't say a word. 'S dead.

Mark Norlin stood up and tried to lift the visor, but the twisted helmet jammed the hinge on one side. He could barely take off the helmet and threw it aside, revealing the **** head inside. But anyway, he is still alive.

"My love! Jon!" He bent down and picked up the two-handed sword on the ground, but the other side was over.
