The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"But I think they must be very concerned about the safety of the well water."

On the dead trees on both sides of the road, there are several hanged dead bodies, including humans and elves. Several students in the convoy seemed to have never seen such a scene. Wooden boards are hung on each corpse, with poisoners, informants, and spies. Someone is burying **** on the side of the road. The officers here are obviously aware that spring is coming. If the sanitary situation cannot be resolved before the temperature rises, they may not wait for the Nilfgard to attack, and they will take away the mosquitoes first. The offensive is down.

"Oh, I'm going to the battlefield hospital."

The students of these medical schools were entertained by the local military officers responsible for recruiting new recruits. Doctors, no matter where they are, are always an important profession. Zelin inquired from here that Rasti has not arrived yet, and it is estimated that it will take another two days. Xia Ni will go to see her assigned camp with her classmates. They will be temporarily incorporated into the army as battlefield medical officers. Zelin planned to wait to see Rasti before visiting her.

The city of Mapoli is extremely crowded, and the administrative districts, squares, and streets are all blocked. A group of people surrounded the square. There was a man locked in a cage. On the side, he wrote on a wooden board his crime-assisting the poisoner.

"Isn't this Fussen? How did he get locked in?"

Suddenly, Zelin heard the voice of a mercenary in the crowd, a familiar voice. The demon hunter pushed away the crowd in front of him. Among the mercenaries and local residents onlookers, he quickly found the source of the sound. The old mercenary Lattimore was holding the hilt around his waist in one hand and asked the people around him.

"Because of planting." A fat citizen in a wolf fur coat and felt hat explained.

"Good sir, I know this Fussen. I used to go to his father's shoe repair shop when I passed by Marpley." Lattimore asked the fat citizen, "They don't have a piece of land in their home, what about a group of shoe repairers? Could it be related to planting?"

"Fusen planted a peculiar exotic plant under the order of the Nilfgard people, which is highly toxic." Several other residents nearby said angrily. "Yesterday the magistrate came to read the trial and also hanged two elves Friends. They want to poison the well near the barracks!"

Lattimore shrugged, and turned his head, just in time to see the demon hunter standing nearby.

"Oh! Master Demon Hunter?"

"Yes, it's me." Zelin reached out and held the old mercenary's callused hand "I didn't expect to see you here."

"This world is so small." The old mercenary laughed, showing the two dentures behind his mouth. "Master, let's go to the tavern and have a chat. I heard your story from the dwarf. Barclay Ayres. , Do you know him?"

"I know not only Colonel Ayres, but also his brother." Zelin made a please gesture. "His brother helped me repair the castle and also made an alteration. Colonel Ayres is also in Mapori. ?"

"Yes, he and his Mahakam volunteers are stationed here. Come, I think they should be watching a boxing match in the tavern." The old mercenary took out a cigarette from his clothes and looked around, but nothing Find the fire. Zelin stretched his finger in front of him, snapped his fingers, and Igni's seal just ignited the end of the cigarette.

"Your magic is so convenient." The old mercenary said with emotion, and he took out a cigarette again. "Would you like a mouthful? Some time ago, the Free Mercenary Corps won a battle in Mapo, and Foltest gave it to We have a lot of bonuses. The most exciting Serekania tobacco, it cost me a lot of money."

"Why did you come to the Liberty Army?" Zelin took the cigarette that Lattimore had handed over, lit it with Ignifa Seal, and took a deep breath. It is estimated that it will take some time for him to return to the castle. At this time, no one will find out if he enjoys the tobacco leaves, "I thought you have retired. Moreover, you are old enough."

"It's really old enough." Lattimore sighed. The neighborhood was crowded with citizens, mercenaries, soldiers, and young people who volunteered to join the army. "My daughter is married to a customs soldier in Corville, I His son is also in Novigrad and married Cowend’s wife. I should have taken the money I’ve worked hard over the years to buy a property outside of Novigrad, or rent it in Novigrad. An apartment for the elderly. But the Nilfgaards are here. Now Tamoria is full of refugees from Bruges and Verden. I can’t let the Nilfgaards win here and hit the Ponta River. By the way, let my son and daughter become refugees? How about you, master? How did you come to the front? Come and help us kill the monsters that attack the barracks?"

"If there is such a thing, I don't mind helping you solve those monsters." Zelin moved his shoulder.

In the tavern, Lattimore's table was by the window, and Zelin found not only the dwarf Colonel Ayres, but also another person he knew, a young man.

"Good meeting, demon hunter." Colonel Ayres took off his pipe and nodded to Zelin. "This war really attracted everyone."

"Yes, Colonel Ayres." Zelin pulled the long stool away and sat at the table. He looked at the somewhat restrained young man sitting at the table. "Also, what's the matter with this kid?"

A young man under the age of twenty, his name is Yare. Zelin remembers that he was a trainee clerk in Nanika’s temple, and he had been classmates in the church school with Xili for a while. This time Zelin was in South Nika did not see him in the temple, thinking that he had been sent to a nearby town hall as a clerk.

"A young man who wants to come and do his best for the north." A dwarf's vigorous voice sounded on another table, and Zoltan Ziwa turned his head and said to Zelin, "As a result, he was almost robbed by a group of bandits on the way. I wish you good health, Demon hunter."

Chapter 972 Stupid Enthusiasm

"You said you are going to the south to find Geralt?" Zoltan raised his ears when he mentioned Geralt. "To be honest, since we separated in Bruges, I have never heard of them again News. Didn’t I remember they were going south to find Geralt’s Son of Destiny? They found it?"

"Wait, that Geralt known as the White Wolf? Isn't his destiny son Princess Shiria, the lion cub of Sintra?" said the dwarf warrior Yarpan Zieglin who was at the table with Zoltan. The Sintra Volunteers said that their princess was dead and was killed by the Nilfgard. Now the Nilfgard has made a fake princess to shake the Sintras’ will to resist."

In the open space of the tavern, two sturdy dwarves are waving their fists in a stimulating boxing match. Most of the noise in the pub comes from the sound of boxing and the applause of the surrounding audience.

"He went to find his daughter." Zelin didn't say much. "The **** war destroyed a lot, right? This time not. We found a wizard in the south. He was preparing a dangerous spell, maybe It will have a big impact on this world. We are going to stop him."

"Yeah, that's it. Stop talking nonsense, Yarpan." Zoltan seemed to see that Zelin had deliberately avoided this topic, and said to the side to help, "When we were fighting with the men in black, these hunters Demon hunters are also fighting monsters and renegade wizards. They have their own battles, and we also have our wars."

"Then we're still drinking at the bar." Alpin held up the glass in front of him. "When I have enough, I will kick the Nilfgard's **** fiercely! Cheers, everyone!"

After a lap, a boxer almost fell to the ground. He rolled on the ground and got up and punched back.

From Lattimore, I learned that Knight Ike suffered another attack from the injuries he suffered while fighting the monster and died half a year ago. His son, Siegfried of Denso, inherited his knighthood. It is said that this Zifiger, like his father, is proud of hunting monsters for free.

"I thought the situation on the battlefield was so bad that Foltest had to ask the demon hunters to participate in the war." Colonel Ayres exhaled a puff of smoke. "I will let my brother go to Coveill to stay for a while, if we If you win, let him come back."

"Is the situation that bad?" Zelin lowered his voice and asked the two veterans on the table. As for the young Jal, he was probably hungry on the road and was constantly eating a piece of hard bread. But Zelin noticed that when they mentioned Xili, the young man raised his head slightly and listened to a few words carefully.

"Foltest is commanding an attack on the Fort Mayena captured by the men in black. If he succeeds, our situation will be better." Lattimore's fingers rubbed the handle of the wine glass. "We are already in Mali." Bo has fought a tug-of-war for almost half a year. Everyone is exhausted. So is the Liberty Corps. The commanders of the Liberty Corps, Julia Abatemark and Adam Pangrat know how to command the soldiers, but this time, we No one has experienced a war of this scale."

"Foltest is on the front line? Just right, I'm going to see him, something." Zelin touched his chin and looked at Jal. "As for this young man, you plan to let him stay here? Zoltan Knowing Nanica, can Zoltan send him back?"

"Yes, how can a priest bleed on the battlefield. The priest should take care of the sick in the temple, write books, and plant herbs." Lattimore nodded in agreement. Among the young people who joined the army, one out of every two young people generally became deserters. As a result, when we deal with the Nilfgard, we have to deal with these young people who run away. And I don’t want to be in Menor. When Kochlen commanded Nilfgard's Central Army to kill, it collapsed because of a group of deserters."

A dwarf fell heavily in a fist fight, splashing the dust hidden in the cracks of the wooden floor. This time, he was lying on the ground with his limbs spread out, unable to get up and punch his opponent.

"Congratulations, Sheldon Skag has won!"

The dwarves betting nearby took out their money, and it seems that many people bet the wrong person.

"Gentlemen..." Jarre scooped up a spoonful of peas, a little restrained, but did not hesitate to say, "I think... it is reasonable and noble and just to bleed and wound in a legitimate war. That's why I want to enlist. I am from Tamoria, and the motherland needs me and needs us."

"Look, this guy has the same enthusiasm as the dwarf guy." Colonel Ayres patted the table. "We should let him stay."

Many dwarves on the side are catering, and so are some human mercenaries. Zelin lowered his head and looked at Jarl with a heart-shaped brass badge on his neck. This is a kind of amulet that is very popular among young people. They will write the name of their sweetheart on it. Zelin noticed vaguely. Arrived, Jarre’s badge had a name beginning with C.

"Then let me come to him to register for the army." Zoltan stood up, raised his head and drank the wine in his glass "Let's go, Jarl, while the officer in charge of registration has not left."

Before Jal left, he seemed to suddenly make up his mind to ask Zelin, "Sir, what you said about her... how is she now?"

Zelin had already guessed who this young man was asking.

"It should be safe. I only know these for details." Zelin looked at the brass necklace on Yar's neck. "Whoever you want to see, you must survive on the battlefield first."

"Go, boy." Zoltan patted Jarl on the waist. "Let's see if you can be divided into that unit."

After Zoltan left with Jal, Zelin looked at the other two sitting.

"Let's have a drink together. I will take a trip to the front line before the sun sets, and then see if I can find a chance to cross and go directly to the south."

"Come." Lattimore and Colonel Ayres raised their cups one after another. "Let us toast the North."

"Also, when you return to Mahakam, remember to find me at Fojian." The headmaster Ayers sighed. "At that time, remember to tell me all about your experience of fighting with the evil wizard."

"And Novigrad." The spirits made the old mercenary cry. "When I bought a piece of land near Novigrad, remember to go to Novigrad, don't forget to visit my manor Come here."

"If you go to the floating port, I will welcome you at any time." Zelin sighed, and the spirits made his stomach feel hot. "It's not early. I should also be ready to go. Good luck."

"Good luck to you too, Demon Hunter." Colonel Ayres raised his glass to signal "Good luck, we will all use it."

Chapter 973 The Battle of Mayena

A huge boulder was thrown at a place less than ten meters away from the demon hunter.

Zelin raised his hand to block the splashing mud.
