The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Because Rasti discovered that a very smart student thought her tutor was old and could not remember things. There were few bottles of potions in the warehouse and they would not be found." Zelin snorted, and Xia Ni's face instantly turned pale. "But Rasty is very worried that his smart student will not be in trouble, and there will be no regular pharmacies and doctors who will buy the medicine that a female student has taken from the college, but he is really old, so he only Can ask a demon hunter friend to do it for him, but the fact is not beyond the professor’s expectation. The students are indeed in trouble."

"Let's go." He spread his hands. "Take you back to the academy, and my commission is complete. Don't worry, I don't think Rasti will be indifferent to know that his students can't afford the tuition. Come on, I There is a floating garbage dump that can at least allow people to sit down, as long as you don’t get killed by the fishy and stench on it.”

"Wait, you have a boat, don't you?" Xia Ni asked suddenly

Zelin nodded.

"Great, you can take me and Herman and leave here, the people outside are about to start burning the house"

"No, only you, Xia Ni." The Demon Hunter refused coldly

"Why? Those people would kill him when they rushed in. They would even set fire to this place. Are you going to die without saving?" The schoolgirl stomped her feet. Are the rumors that I heard are fake? Why don’t I prove it to be fake? Is it true that the demon hunter has messy hair, eyes like bells, huge teeth, and a sword in one hand and a purse in one hand. Creature?"

"You don't know, Xia Ni, you don't even know what this is. You are too young. If you have a chance, I will give you the experience of life, but not now." Zelin shook his head. "It's time to go. There is no time."

"Wait...Master Melman?" The female student suddenly noticed something wrong. Not only did the old quack do not react to the intruder Zelin who came in suddenly, she didn't say a word, she turned her head. However, she saw a woman in a long dress and a striking black onyx necklace standing in the house. Herman collapsed to the ground with a bloodless face. This was the last picture she saw before she fainted.

"I thought you would always walk the balance beam like an owl on the fence, Philippa" Zelin held the fainted Xia Ni "I guess since you are here, what those people outside say should be true?"

"There are people who covet Nilfgaard's gold everywhere, and gold has no borders. I thought that the demon hunters would also be bought by the southerners' gold, but you have a lot of Francis in your pocket" said the sorcerer, Yang Raised a sword eyebrow, looking at Zelin, "If you are going to deal with a demon hunter, Dixie's trash is useless at all."

"You know, sorcerers, demon hunters will not be loyal." Zelin stared at Philippa's beautiful eyes. "We will never be loyal."

"You will not be loyal, Demon Hunter" the female warlock responded to Zelin's gaze. "But the Demon Hunter will choose to be loyal, and the times have changed."

"When I was alive, this was absolutely impossible." Zelin knew many demon hunters who were still alive and knew better what kind of people they were. After Kyle Morhan was breached, the Demon Hunters had already fallen apart, and the iron rules were even more vague, but they were still abiding by this iron rule, knowing what to do and not to do.

Although there are still many members of the cat faction, Zelin does not think they are demon hunters.

"One day you will die." Philippa held out a finger "You have one minute to leave. Time waits for no one."

Vedymins (Vedymins) are often mentioned in unearthed 13th century documents. Known as vatt'ghern by the Northerners (Nordlings), it is a mysterious elite fighting priest, probably a tributary of the druids. According to folk songs, they possess magical powers and superhuman abilities, allowing them to fight against dark elves, monsters and evil creatures, but the legend of magical powers has long been proven by science as a false superstition. In fact, as masters of swordsmanship, they were used by northern leaders in tribal wars. During the war, they entered a trance state, which may be self-hypnosis or a drug attack, they entered a blind violent state, completely immune to pain, and even severe trauma. This makes people more superstitious about them as unnatural forces. The theories that they originated from mutations and genetic engineering have not been proven. They are the heroes of many Notting legends.

Chapter 147 The New Message

The dark night enveloped the dense forest. The full moon carved out of wood hangs high in the sky between the trees. A wolf howling came from afar, and a demon hunter walked through the forest cautiously, holding a silver sword in his hand.

Demon Hunter: Damn it. Today is the full moon, and I have been waiting for this night for a long time. I spent three weeks in that stinky pit, all to catch a werewolf. At least the mill master’s daughter helped me pass the time...

Demon Hunter: Actually... I actually regret leaving. Maybe I should take her with me?

The sound of a branch breaking from behind the demon hunter came. He became alert and turned around quickly. He saw the werewolf.

Demon Hunter: Let me catch it, monster!

Werewolf: Roar! (Angry roar)

The werewolf took off his mask. The demon hunter found out that he was the daughter of the mill master. He was so shocked that he didn't know what to do.

Miller’s daughter: What about now? Are you going to kill me? Or... or are you going to take me with you?

The first act of the play ended, and the audience began to applaud. In the college auditorium, a play called "The Foolish Demon Hunter" was being staged. Zelin sighed and tried to tell himself that it was just a stage play. , Although the above actor's performance is more like an entertaining drama.

Before the news of George came, Milo told Zelin that it would take about a month for Willen's news to come back. As winter comes, people are hiding in houses, leaning against the fire, and waiting for Milo’s letter to reach the crow’s den. The lord’s messenger can deliver all the news to the local village within seven days, which is considered efficient, and then wait for all the news to be sent back. , About another seven days, and then Milo received the news, it is estimated that it will be longer. Unfortunately, Zelin did not have much time to wait in Osenforte. These days, in order to solve the problem of food and money, he was in the city hall of Osenforte. Received an order to clean up the sewer. Of course, it's not mud, it's water ghosts.

It’s an elf ruins, ruins. I don’t know how many young people have been poisoned by the stories sung by bards, thinking that there will be treasures in the ruins, good things left by the elves, but in fact, most of these ruins are occupied by monsters. Either a water ghost or a low-level gorefiend, and some defensive facilities in the ruins have not been destroyed due to the departure of the owner, and expedition teams often encounter golems or elemental creatures that have not completely exhausted their energy.

When the five young men of Ossenfurt entered the ruins together two days after they had not come out, and the guards refused to enter the ruins where monsters might be infested, the mayor put up paper on the sign that desperately needed magic hunters. So Zelin spent a day cleaning up the monsters inside, and then notified the people waiting outside to go in and collect the corpses.

"First of all, the demon hunter does not wear like tin cans. Fighting monsters is not a knight novel. When monsters stand in front of you, don’t think that you are wearing beautiful armor, carrying delicate weapons, and making some graceful rhyming crusade declarations. Monsters can be defeated by you. In fact, complicated armor will only make you look stupid." Several art students are hoping that a real demon hunter will give an evaluation of this drama. They look very I want to get positive praise, but Zelin really can’t think of how to say that these plays are very correct. "Also, the demon hunter must have a badge on his chest. Without a badge, it proves that he is not a demon hunter. Maybe he needs to add it now. A pair of Gwent cards, because I now rely on this thing to make money for the next meal." Zelin glanced at the actor on the stage. "What's the matter with that donkey's head badge."

"We have collected the most stories about the demon hunter." The two female art students and the future bard looked at each other. "The one who knows most about the demon hunter in the academy is Xia Ni from the medical school, so we specifically asked her. Understand the situation, aren't all demon hunters divided into schools, so she told us this school and to make a badge, but we don't know whether it is hanging on the chest or on the neck."

"Please tell Xia Ni that her grandmother's grandmother has created a new school for demon hunters."

Excluding the spent potion and sword oil money, the mayor’s commission allowed him to earn almost 80 crowns. For these bags of coins with higher gold content, Zelin found Osenfurt as a blacksmith and repaired the armor. Polished the steel sword. If the steel sword is not repaired, it is estimated that it will not break the defense of the leather armor. A dagger with the length of the forearm and a palm-sized dagger have been customized. The previous dagger remains in Yusevka’s hands. , Hope to help her

As a result, after buying some repair tools with the remaining money, not only was 80 crowns not enough, Zelin had to paste a part of it. Fortunately, during this period of time, he went out to look for commissions everywhere. He was still able to receive some irrelevant things. Just like now, under the introduction of Milo, he provided advice to the students of the Academy of Art and Mind and dealt with the problems of some folklore researchers. . For example, the free elves of the Blue Mountains, the imperial colonizers of Ebin, and the aboriginal Dougs of the Dragon Mountains.

"Dear Demon Hunter, don't you plan to stay longer in the academy? I would like to ask you about the story of hunting the dragon." As the screenwriter, Ess regretfully said, "What other legendary creatures are there? Giants, werewolves, griffin beasts. Compared with hunting these creatures, it must be boring to go into the sewer to clean up the ugly water ghosts."

After Xia Ni’s introduction, Ai Si has a small, friendly, likable but uncharacteristic face, but her beautiful, gleaming big eyes with deep blue luster are impressive. Aisi's other eye was mostly covered under the golden hair hanging down her cheek. When Ess shook her head back, and when she blew her hair up, that bunch of hair would be lifted up, revealing another beautiful eye that was not inferior.

"Of course not, Miss Ess. Actually, I never hunted dragons. I can tell you responsibly that dragons have never been the main hunting target of demon hunters, because dragons cannot eat people. They only eat domestic animals, cattle and sheep. Of course, if there is a dragon that often wanders around the city and demolishes several houses after eating every day, and sprays fire at the gathering crowd, then we will still consider dispersing it. Of."

Zelin has provided her with many stories in the past few days, but Ai Si often adds her own imagination to the story on her own. The coin experience turned into such a stage play after her rendering. He no longer wanted to correct the mistake that the werewolf could not change back before the full moon was over.

"Furthermore, it is easier to hunt water ghosts than to hunt pterodactyls. The costs of dealing with water ghosts and pterodactyls are completely different, but sometimes the rewards are almost the same. If you want to learn about demon hunters, I can tell You have a way."

Zelin thought about the propaganda issue he had been considering. The academy he is going to build is in the mountains of Mahakam. It may be possible for people who were homeless during the war to send their children, but the premise is that people should know that there is a place to train demon hunters in the mountains. Hunter’s castle, if no one knows about this, how can Zelin recruit more students? "In the mountains of Mahakam, there is a castle for demon hunters. If you want, you can go there and learn about it. More about the demon hunter, and then write more interesting plays."

A warlock known by the demon hunter, Istride once explained why the names of magic materials are so mysterious. If people think that pig blood actually has the same effect as virgin blood-it is much easier to get it than blood-then any civilian will start playing with spells. If what he wants is virgin blood, dragon tears, white tarantula venom, soup made from the palm of a newborn, or soup made from a corpse that was excavated at midnight, then they are mentioning Will think about it again and again when making magic.

After all, when the warlock was a little boy, other peers of the same age were running around, fishing, or playing guessing games on the grassland with bows and arrows, but they had to spend all their time on ancient manuscripts and sitting in the tower. On the icy stone. In the best years of my life, I didn't join the army, and I didn't touch a beer or a girl. When they see what they have learned so hard and used by some triangle cats or amateurs, they will inevitably have a kind of ordinary hatred in their hearts to let them monopolize this knowledge and power.

But the demon hunter never agrees with this. He abides by the iron rules and maintains neutrality in the struggle of intelligent races, precisely because he thinks that if people realize that the demon hunter in front of them knows more, there are two. Swords can kill monsters, and like to play Gwent cards. When other places are not too different from them, it may be easier to receive commissions and friendliness, although the latter is more difficult to obtain than the former.

"Oh?" Aisi raised one eyebrow with interest. "I don't want to let go of any opportunity to see the demon hunter working, but the training castle of the demon hunter, uh, me, can I really go in? "

"I don't think there is any problem, only you can remember. There are a lot of things in it. Don't drink it. Most of them are very poisonous." Zelin shrugged. "But I think your studies at the academy may prevent you from running. Go so far away."

"Oh no, Demon Hunter, I think you made a mistake, please allow me to introduce myself again." Aisi blinked her dark blue eyes and made an elegant etiquette. "Ess Fanda, Osenfer A graduate of the special college two years ago, now an assistant professor, and I am planning to take a look outside after the end of this year’s term. The Demon Hunter’s castle sounds like a good place, but I’m A man of great curiosity."

"If so, I welcome your visit" Zelin nodded.

"Is there any chance to see my next drama performance tomorrow?" Aisi asked.

"No, I don't think I have any chance." The demon hunter shook his head. "I'm leaving. I'll leave tomorrow morning."

Zelin did not receive a message from George, but received a message from Francesca. The elven warlock hoped that he could meet her in Island City at the left foot of the Mahakam Mountains, with a special note about the news of the portal during the winter. The portal is closely related to Zelin's dedicated academy, and he has to be more cautious.

"Can't you stay for a few more days?"

"Sorry, time waits for no one."

Chapter 148 Island City

Zelin hadn't been to Island City for a long time.

When he went to Sutton half a year ago, he arrived at Dondale after disembarking, and after crossing the Islena River from Badov, he went straight to Maribo. I have to say that as the capital city of the Duke of Island, Island City is indeed a good city. More than 6,000 residents live within the city walls, including 500 non-human races, seven taverns, five inns, three brothels, a hospital, a bank and a temple of the goddess Meritelli.

The town hall and the surrounding houses are made of bricks, the main road is paved with stones, two trading posts in the north and south, newly renovated gallows and guillotines, huge logging yards, here are two places in Tamoria One of the wood producing areas. The other place is next to Brockleron, but as the tree spirits fight against human logging behaviors becoming more and more fierce, the timber industry here has become more and more important. To the east of the city is a huge mine, and trucks with the emblem of Isabel Hansenton Mining Company can often be seen on the road near Island.

This is a nice city.
