The Divine Hunter

Take care of your affairs before you die, say goodbye to loved ones, write a will, and apologize to those you've hurt, or you'll never leave the world.

- Advice to a dying man

"Then what should we do?" the dwarf asked. If the two demon spirits were allowed to mourn day and night in the palace, the whole palace would never be peaceful.

"First of all, you have to figure out the nature of demon spirits," Lesso said. "Demon spirits are sad and terrifying creatures. They have been haunted by endless pain. I hate and envy the living; because I have unfulfilled wishes during my lifetime, I am strongly unwilling to leave, and I am reluctant to leave.”

"And these strong emotions are the bonds that keep them in the world. We just need to break the bonds and we can wipe them out."

"Fetters?" The dwarves wondered, "Their bonds? Could it be that I have to go to their families one by one to fulfill their wishes? Can't we use force to solve them all?"

Leto shook his head, "Even if I wasn't injured, it would be difficult to deal with the eight-headed demon spirits in a narrow house at one time... This thing is not afraid of flames and poisons, it is quite tricky."

"It's unrealistic, and we can only take other methods - the bond should be in the room, so the demon spirits can't leave the door half a step from the day they were born."

"We have to find the bond."

The dwarf was silent.

He led by saying,

"Imagine that you were living a good life, but you were killed for no reason, and even tortured before you died. Then you turned into a demon. What would be your greatest wish?"

"Hate... blood for blood!" the dwarf said coldly, "I will let the murderer get his retribution and let him be wiped out!"

"Then if the murderer also dies and becomes a demon."

"I will always be by her side so he can't rest in peace."

"So—" Roy patted the dwarf on the shoulder, "Salvator has been burned at the stake, and the murderer still has the demonized Simon."

"Then we just need to get rid of the Simon Knights...the six dead will be freed." A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in the dwarf's eyes,

"Furthermore, Queen Emilia is the sustenance of Simon's love and the bond of Simon. It is also the center of the Seven Deadly Sins ritual."

"So Emilia is the root of everything. She was hanged in the room, unable to escape, and she was haunted by a group of demon spirits. Get rid of her, and all this will dissipate."

The dwarf's face changed when he heard the words, "Destroy the queen's ghost?"

"Purification, more precisely. Free them from their stupor."

the witcher said,

"The demon spirit doesn't have the perfect human emotions, but it has the last wisp of obsession. Let's find the obsession and purify the queen's demon spirit."

...

The dwarf stroked his long black-brown beard and brought two witchers to the palace again.

Along the way, he kept talking about the difficult situation of the queen in the palace.

On the one hand, it is due to the humble origin of the queen. Compared to Siward, the king of a country, Emilia is only the daughter of a baron in the territory of Elland.

Seeward has always enjoyed this sense of superiority over his status as a woman, and his attitude towards Emilia is extremely indifferent, and he doesn't ask questions on weekdays.

For him, the queen is only a tool for giving birth, a puppet without emotion, not to mention that there are no more children and half daughters left, which is even more unpopular.

"If there is no prince, Miss Emilia and Simon Knight are really golden boys and girls, and they are incomparably matched."

An absurd thought flashed through the dwarf's mind, and then it snapped out of his mind in an instant.

"The Archduke undoubtedly owes the Queen an apology,

This is where the obsession lies. "

The bald witcher made a guess.

Roy's eyes were surprised. He didn't think that Emilia's obsession would be that stupid grand duke.

Walking all the way in the palace, through the hanging column corridor, the three finally met the Grand Duke of Elland, Seeward, a tall, chubby man with a beard.

He wears a crown on his head, his face is flushed and his expression is serious, and he wears a white cloak behind his back. His movements are fast and powerful, and he looks quite grumpy.

...

Under the demon hunter's suggestion, the dwarf struggled for a moment before telling Siward the solution - Siward needs to apologize to the demon spirit transformed by the queen for the grievances she had suffered before.

Seeward scolded the dwarf on the spot, and the latter's bushy beard face was blue and red, and he could hardly bear to submit his resignation...

But finally, the Grand Duke chose to give in after venting.

Compared to being humiliated for a while, he was more disgusted by hiding in the minister's house and being laughed at.

Later, under the protection of a group of guards, Siward went outside Queen Emilia's room and faced the faces of the vicious demon spirits blocking the door.

Begin to express your apology slowly.

The scene is quite funny.

A richly dressed and noble ruler, tremblingly, apologized in a low voice to a group of bruised and rancid demon spirits.

Only then did Roy realize Letho's intentions-to make the grand duke who had a deep prejudice against witchers in front of him embarrassed and shriveled in public!

What a joy!

The corners of the boy's mouth curved covertly, restraining the pendant that was trembling slightly on his chest, his eyes turned to the leader in the room, his face was blurred, his body was even bigger, and his dark gold eyes became deep——

Wailing LV4: Demon spirits are those who harbor resentment, and who have suffered pain and grievance in their lifetimes. Their wails are soul-stirring and can arouse fear in people's hearts and make the enemy lose the courage to resist.

Void body (passive solidification): The demon spirit's body is between the entity and the void, and any physical attacker will be reduced by half. They can also escape into the void at any time, dodging all damage and launching insidious sneak attacks.

...

"Emelia, I still remember the first time I saw you, I saw at a glance that you are a gentle and mature woman..."

The apology went on for half an hour, and the prince's performance went from being reluctant at the beginning, to being careless, to being "sincere and sincere", but the expressions of the demon spirits did not change in the slightest.

Still showing his teeth and claws, eyeing tigers.

"Bastard! Am I a dignified king who is not qualified to be this woman's last obsession!"

"Your Majesty, can you think of anything else that is worthy of Queen Emilia's care?"

Kramer asked cautiously, but Siward was furious.

"Shut up! This lowly woman is not qualified to be called a queen!" He glared at the roaring demon spirit, and calmed down his excitement after a long time.

"My commander of the bodyguard, my tone was too heavy just now. I can only think of that "Love Story". At first I threw the evidence left by the slut's adulterer to her, and then she threw it out. , I almost didn't take it and burn it, you two think it might not be that thing?"

"The diary that Master Roy found at Simon's house?"

"That's right..."

"You can try it." The witcher nodded.

When Seward sent someone to fetch the diary...

For a moment, the leading demon spirit slammed on the door frantically, and the guys behind her also began to be restless, but they were all firmly blocked by an invisible barrier.

"Sure enough, it's this thing! Bitch, bitch! Become so unremarkable, and can't forget the sweet words of that adulterer!"

At the moment, Siward waved his hand indifferently, and asked someone to burn the diary!

But the witcher stopped him.

"Your Majesty, if burning this book directly has no effect, it will anger the demon spirit. I think there is a more gentle way."

"Witcher, you don't think I'm ashamed enough? Do you still want to call me, a dignified prince, to read these foul words out in public?"

"Your Majesty," Roy stepped forward, pretending to be generous and fearless, and said solemnly, "Actually, I can do this for you. You can rest outside first."

Seeward also did not want others to know the secrets in the diary, so he took all his men and left the room far away.

There were only two witchers left nearby, and Leto put his arms around his chest, looking like he was watching a good show.

And Roy opened the diary slowly, his expression was very complicated, he didn't expect such a day,

A witcher reciting love poems in front of a group of demon spirits, this... the scene is too weird.

"My rose, the first time I saw you, I was fascinated by it." The first time he recited this thing, Roy's voice was obviously less emotional than a bard.

But when the demon spirit heard the sound, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, and his expression was no longer so grim.

efficient!

"Today's meeting made me unable to extricate myself... Chatting with you my troubles will always be blown away by the spring breeze."

Roy went on, strutting,

"I feel the same way about your situation, and I'm also a down-to-earth knight who is not so good at the table..."

...

Five minutes later, when he read to the end, the two demon spirits raised their heads slightly, their swollen and rotten cheeks glowing with memories.

"On the ashes of the seven evil deeds, the most beautiful flower in the world can be born, and I dedicate it to you..."

"Goodbye, my rose!"

The last sentence landed.

The two of the eight-headed demon spirits were face to face, hugging each other tightly, with such force that they seemed to want to rub each other into their own bodies and combine them into one.

Their appearances are still ugly as corpses, but their expressions are serene and sweet, exuding extreme happiness, and their hot feelings seem to be transformed into substance and overflowing from their bodies.

In fact, there was already a faint light wafting from their bodies, like melting ice cubes, and the translucent bodies began to slowly dissolve.

The remaining six demon spirits seemed to have awakened their memories, swooping towards the two demon spirits, surrounding them, and brutally biting their translucent bodies.

Roy rubbed his eyes again, then raised his head higher and higher.

They are completely integrated in the bite and hug, like an illusory statue with different expressions and entangled limbs, rising from the ground.

Accompanied by a burst of dazzling emerald green light, a soul-stirring scream rang out in the room, and in a flash, everything vanished.

The demon spirits turned into stars, and the evil spirit dust emitting emerald green light danced in the sky.

The scene in front of me was extremely beautiful for a while, and at the same time, moving words flashed in the template - "Purification of demon spirits, experience value +60*8, witcher LV5 ()"

"This is the purpose of Simon Knight? To put wings on himself and send someone to pass on the diary. It turned out to be the plan." Roy whispered. "You can't be together before you die, and you'll never be apart after you die."

"The secret ceremony of the Sun Cult is really evil!"
