The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"No."

Ze Lin pursed his mouth. After the others left, he tried to see which helper he could find with the resonance bell. He thought it might be Alfred or Irene the Raven, or Father Gascoigne, but he didn't expect to end up in front of him. It was Maria. He thought that this huntress would live in seclusion in her family castle without asking the world. Who knew she still kept the resonance bell and her own weapons.

Since the troubles in Yanan’s dreams ended, Maria has maintained the appearance of a ghost. If Zelin was still curious in the past, the soul of a living person was summoned by the resonance bell. What would happen if the resonance bell summoned the soul? So now he has the answer-it is still the soul. It's just that the summoned soul is not very happy, or in other words, has been indifferent and indifferent.

"If this delayed anything for you, I apologize to you."

"Oh."

Maria was still as cold as an ice cube.

"If you have something to do, you can go back at any time." Seeing Maria's face changed slightly, Zelin quickly bit the subject. "Uh, what I want to say is that I might need a helper in the next few days, so I want to ask. Just ask, will I have time in a few days?"

"Yes."

It's still so cold.

The two fell into an uncomfortable silence for a while.

After a while, Zelin rubbed the tip of his nose. "Well, then I may need you to help me deal with some enemies, um... nothing else."

But unlike Zelin's expectation, Maria's figure did not disappear. She did not go back, but slowly floated towards the nearby tower. Maria's slender eyes looked lazily at the wall of Kyle Morhan. , But the sharp eyes that flashed by from time to time made it difficult to judge whether she was assessing the risk or admiring the scenery.

Zelin sighed, and he decided to continue calling other helpers.

He really couldn't think of any place he had offended Maria. Maybe it was not the time to call this time? But she didn't necessarily respond to the call. Regardless of the reason, since it has become a fact, Zelin can only think about finding out the reason in the future, and then apologizing or explaining the reason to Maria.

With a sigh, he squatted down and began to draw the summoned runes on the ground. He didn't know what kind of enemies he would encounter this time. Unlike the last time he evacuated under the attack of wild hunt, this time they would take the initiative to attack, just like As I said in the past, unless there are special circumstances, if several people can come together, he is absolutely unwilling to fight alone with the enemy. So he kept thinking about whom to ask for help.

There is no doubt that the most convenient is Yanan and Losric's helpers. The resonance bell and the summoning talisman can allow his friends in these two places to help at any time, but even if he is injured, he can safely return to his world without causing any casualties in the battle. Then there are the helpers of Skyrim, except for Gnaiya. Winterhold College may be able to send two or three helpers, but the academy needs to discuss internally. Virginia will help directly for personal reasons—not to mention that she lives now. In Mahakam’s castle.

But the academy is not an army or a disciplined organization. It is more like a loose researcher cooperation platform. If Zelin hopes that they can come to help, it is estimated that it will take some time to tell them in advance. The same is true for group attacks.

Although Zelin still remembers Selana's words, if there is any trouble here, she is willing to come to help at any time, but it takes two months to go back and forth from the Helgen fortress where the portal is located to the vampire castle in Hafingal. Maybe his letter hasn't been delivered before the battle with wild hunting here is over.

After the wolf-school demon hunters and Resso arrive at Mahakam, they can come with Hawke. Although Marianne was unable to cast spells after being far away from the shadow world energy flowing out of the rift in the world, the marksmanship she trained in the past to cover her identity was definitely not worse than anyone else. As a combat mage, she has more than just magic. . There is also Mordred, but Zelin does not intend to let her participate. She has no experience with such ghost monsters. The situation in the battle changes rapidly, and no one wants to worry about other people during the battle. Safety.

After drawing the rune, Zelin stood nearby and waited. Unlike the resonance bell, he knew who the summoning amulet was calling. Everyone corresponds to a different summoning amulet, although now he only knows Siris's summoning amulet. Text. Although Frid also lives here, Zelin will never be sure where she is. Perhaps in the future, if he has a chance to return to the world entangled by the curse of the undead, he should try to ask if he can obtain the summoning charms of several other friends, such as the crystal daughter Hezer and the Knight Gael, although Zelin I'm not used to asking someone like this, but in the current situation, he must try his best to fight for the advantage in dealing with wild hunting.

But after a while, the summoning talisman lay quietly on the ground, without any movement, the female knight did not appear in front of him.

What's the matter?

Zelin frowned in confusion. According to past experience, the summoning talisman would not remain silent for so long.

"Wrong drawing?" Zelin took out the white cloth depicting the summoning charm that Siris had handed him in the past. After unfolding, he looked at the rune on the white cloth while lowering his head to contrast with the summoning charm on the ground. After repeated comparisons three times, Zelin determined that there was nothing wrong with the summoning talisman he drew.

It was Hillis who did not respond to his call.

"What went wrong..."

The Demon Hunter didn't know what caused this result, either something went wrong with the summoning charm, or the energy transmission between Kyle Morhan and Yanorrond was far less stable than Mahakam. There is another possibility, that is, what trouble Hiris has encountered that prevents her from getting out. After all, Zelin's understanding of the summoning talisman only exists in that it can summon the target person in the form of a spirit body. As for the operation principle and magic energy, he doesn't know anything.

It is rare for him to feel frustrated for a moment that he is not a wizard scholar.

Of course, it was only a moment.

After a light sigh, Zelin folded the white cloth again and stuffed it into his pocket. It may be that Kyle Morhan’s geographical location prevented him from summoning Siris, and perhaps he could try again after arriving at Willen.

When he walked to the rapeseed who was ready to salute and set off, Zelin wanted to wait for the others to leave, because after he summoned a helper, he needed to explain the reason to them. If possible, try not to make anyone suspicious. He will make up a suitable identity for them, at least so that they can tell where they live. But since it is Maria, there is no need for this. She looks like a ghost now, and if she can, she can make other people completely invisible to her.

Although Zelin doubted, whether Maria was willing to help him.

Pat the saddle, the saddle bags on both sides are firmly fixed.

"Go?"

The image of Maria suddenly appeared in front of Zelin as it emerged from the ground.

"You haven't gone back?" Zelin asked subconsciously, and then immediately changed the subject. "Ah, yes, ready to go. I got news that the group of people who kidnapped my friend will probably show up in a certain place. I'm going to ambush them there, and then find and rescue my friend."

"Let's go."

"Go in again... wait, Maria?"

Maria suddenly took a step forward and went straight to Zelin. The demon hunter took a step back subconsciously, but Maria was faster than him, and she ran into Zelin directly.

For a moment, Zelin thought he had fallen into an ice cave, and the extreme cold made him almost think that he had formed a layer of ice. When he was warm, the sudden cold made him bend down, half-kneeling on the snow, his whole body stretched tightly, and forcibly suppressed the severe pain caused by the cold. He closed his eyes tightly and took a few deep breaths before suppressing the convulsive sensation. Compared with the chill on his body, Snow didn't seem so cold.

"It doesn't feel good?"

Hearing the voice behind him, Zelin sighed deeply, "Of course! You are doing... Maria?" He turned his head, but didn't see Maria. "Maria? Where are you?"

"Behind you." Maria's voice remained unchanged. "Don't move, I have to adapt."

The first thousand three hundred and sixty-seven chapters

The sun is bright and the birds are chirping. The many streams of the White Rock River merge into a branch at the edge of the valley and flow all the way south to the Kodwin Plateau. The wind and snow left indelible marks on the plateau, and poplar trees that were blown down were everywhere on both sides of the road. Sometimes, Zelin had to dismount and walk around. In places far away from the road, the thickest snow can even go past the calves and reach close to the knees. This is a disaster, and Zelin can be sure that the farmer’s hut in the wild can hardly stand in such a violent snowstorm.

"Maria, are you still there?"

Struggling to walk around the path blocked by the broken poplar, Zelin stopped and let out a long sigh of relief. He raised his arm and looked carefully at the arm covered with gliding lizard leather.

Then, he saw the phantom of an arm floating out, and then a cloud of whiteness appeared on the whole body, and Maria's soul walked out of the figure of the demon hunter.

"I'm still here." She turned around and stared at Zelin's cheek. "Still feeling bad?"

"Yes, it's like a demon spirit passing through." Zelin squeezed his chin and moved his cold stinging cheeks. In these two days, he not only knew how fierce the wind and snow in the north were, but also knew that no matter what the world it was, the feeling of being pierced by the soul was the same. When dealing with demon spirits, those demon spirits will often turn into a phantom, rushing straight towards the enemy. This kind of damage from the soul often makes people dizzy, and even powerful demon spirits can directly kill the victim. As for Maria, Zelin didn't know how to evaluate it. Apart from no other more direct harm, the coldness deep in his bones reminded Zelin of his past encounters with demon spirits, which impressed him deeply.

It's just that unlike other demon spirits, Maria is like a raven falling on her shoulders, easily following Zelin, to be precise, on his body.

"Demon spirit?"

"A certain kind of soul, most of it looks like a sword in one hand and a lamp in the other. It is a monster turned into by a dead resentful spirit."

"I know that there are resentful spirits of victims killed by the executioner in Cain Hearst Castle." Maria moved her neck slightly, and the cold wind here had no effect on her. "Do you feel pain?"

"There is no pain, but it feels weird, Maria." Zelin moved his arms and rubbed his shoulders. This chill was not only due to the temperature, but also some additional factors. "I feel like an ice cube is stuck on my body. I should be thankful that I am a demon hunter, not an ordinary person, otherwise I might be in a coma due to hypothermia."

"It is impossible for ordinary people to survive the hunting night, let alone defeat Geman." When she said this name, Maria's voice changed slightly, so subtle that Zelin hadn't focused her attention on her. , Otherwise it will not be heard at all.

"Maybe you can tell me, what are you doing?" Zelin took off the water bottle he was carrying around his waist, took off the oak cork, took a sip with his lips on the mouth of the bottle, and took a long breath. A small amount of alcohol will not affect his brain and nerves, but will warm his body and make his heartbeat and blood flow faster.

After leaving Kyle Morhan, Maria was possessed by him. Zelin had heard of similar precedents, but most of the backgrounds of those examples were wizards possessed by demons and unlucky ones occupied by necromancers. Or the cursed person, but he has never encountered such a situation in his hundreds of years of career. In fact, most of the souls who can maintain rationality are just using wisdom to cover their madness. He does not remember that the wizard said In the past, only strong resentment and unwillingness can keep the soul in this world, so it can be concluded that there is almost no kindness in the soul that can be encountered by humans, unless your luck can make the goddess of luck jealous.

"You are the first time I need me to explain how to help you." Maria said indifferently. But after these two days, her attitude was much better than when she was in Kyle Morkhan, at least she wouldn't answer Zelin with sentences within three words every time. As she said, she put her hand on her waist and held her palm empty. Soon, a blade similar to the long sword Luoyang appeared in her hand. Maria lifted the blade and made a swordsmanship gesture at Zelin, "Would you like to try it?"

"Can you hit me?"
