The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Also, I heard news from Van Geborg on the way back." George said suddenly, "Very bad news."

Van Geborg, the capital of the Kingdom of Aden, was conquered unexpectedly. Soldiers, citizens, and unions in the city resisted to the last minute, while the Nilfgard people massacred more than 6,000 residents in the city after they captured the city, and turned most of the city into ruins. The news caused the people who were still in Aden to flee. Many people fled to the Mahakam Mountains, because Kovind in the north has become an ally of the Nilfgard. Now Kovind’s army has taken over. Most of the upper Aden area, as well as the northeast of the Demon Hunter Castle, Haji Fortress by the Pontal River Valley.

With six thousand people, the entire Van Geborg will become a huge cemetery, or an open-air cemetery. In other words, a wonderful paradise for ghouls.

"In two days, I'm going to Van Geborg, if there is still a city there." George coughed a few times. "Maybe we can find a chance to pass on the craftsmanship of the Griffin School and watch that it has begun to act. You guys from the Viper School, I can’t waste any more time. What about you? Would you like to go to Van Geborg with me?"

"No, I have to leave for a while, there are some things to deal with. You know, that door." There is no way to hide something as obvious as the portal, but after the big explosion of the seagull tower, there are very few things. Someone is willing to approach the door here. After all, the ruins affected by the explosion on Sinide Island still exist. "If anyone asks, they say I have gone to Serekania, but don't wait for me to come back. I find that there are many more rumors of my death."

Although due to the pressure of the empire, combined with some of the forces retained during the coup and the political influence of the Eritusa Academy, Sinide Island is still controlled by warlocks such as Tisya and Margarita, but one can be sure. The thing, that is, the Sorcerer Order no longer has any valuable influence on the northern kingdoms. They can barely protect themselves now, but it is much better than being completely destroyed by the coup.

Probably within two days, the portal in the castle will reopen. Although the Warlock Order is no longer what it used to be, he has no obligation to continue to the other side of the portal, and no one will pay for it. But the dream that night made him feel palpitations. He hasn't felt this way in a long time.

At least, he should go to the other side to take a look and see what is there. If it is a world similar to Skyrim, he has no reason not to look for something valuable. If it is similar to the situation in Losric, he will come back directly.

"Also, George, before you get to Van Geborg, can you go to Forge first and give this letter to Colonel Barclay Ayres. I hope he can help contact his brother, our The castle needs to be expanded."

There are almost three resident demon hunters now, and Eskell often comes here. Gerd and his bear school brothers will also come. If the apprentices are added, there are also some laboratories and herb fields, such as The place where Skyrim's alchemy materials are planted, this castle needs to be expanded no matter where it looks from.

"You need to expand the castle? No problem, I happen to have some money to come out. It's not too much, but I think we can make it together and it will almost be able to expand a good area."

"It's not necessary, George." Zelin waved his hand. "I can save some money, it's enough."

"No, I'm the demon hunter here. I should give some of the money." George said firmly. "You know, before this college appeared, all I thought about every day was to find new jobs and aimless adventures. , I don’t know where I died in the end, but now I have a goal that can be achieved and is enough for me to fight for."

"It's not just me. You gave the demon hunter a chance to re-emerge. We no longer need to wander around." George put down the purse. "Don't worry about how much, take the money, and then give me the letter until you come back. , You can at least see a larger castle that is taking shape. I promise."

Chapter 534 Operation

Before setting off, Zelin did not forget to explain some things first. The most important thing is what the special envoy of King Foltest will send. Anyway, the Dragonborn had not returned to the sky, so the Demon Hunter asked Gnaya to remember to take the thing. He trusts the Dragonborn very much, and he believes that even in emergencies, Gnaiya knows how to deal with it.

Geralt's whereabouts are unknown after the coup in Sinide, but Francesca told him in private that Geralt might be in the forest of Brocleon, a dryad. The elf didn't say where she inquired about this information, but considering Francesca's personal relationship with Queen Asniel, her words are very credible.

Zelin sent a letter to the Temple of the Meritelli in Ailand, about a Hidden sword that Geralt wanted to build for Xili, and the girl under the high priest Nanika would send the letter and things safely. Take it to Brochron, the tree spirit city in Brokleron Forest.

Due to the pressure of the men in black, King Evel of Verden surrendered, and the Kingdom of Verden's attack on the tree spirits naturally ceased. But not everyone is willing to join Nilfgard, especially the recent looting of the men in black in Verdon, which made many people feel full. A guerrilla of more than a thousand people has appeared in Verdon. Compared with Verden, the Brocline Forest at this time had become much safer.

I carefully counted the bills sent by the Ebin. If the old dwarf and his construction team are willing to accept payment in installments, Zelin's savings should be able to sustain it. However, the bill sent by the Aibin this time carried a letter. The businessman from the south was wondering why a succubus could attract customers more than hired dancers, and could even sell many products. Of course, he is a southerner, and there are not many non-human races in the south. It is normal for him to be so strange because of his ignorance of non-human races.

As for the floating port, Zelin heard a piece of news, he didn't know whether it was good news or bad news.

"Mayor Larry is gone?"

"Yeah, you know, the Haji Fortress on the side of the floating port was occupied by Kovind’s army. Now Kovind and Nilfgard have signed a treaty, and Nilfgard is the enemy of Temoria, Forte He ordered that the mayor of any town close to the Nilfgardian-controlled area should be the local garrison commander, and the original mayor would return to Vizima."

Since Gnaiya was not there, the covered dwarf blacksmith ran to the castle to collect the goods. Zelin knew that Gnaiya still had such a side job. Maybe it's because the Nords like weapons? Anyway, Zelin often sees some houses in the sky that will prepare weapon display stands. The owner of the house always takes pride in exhibiting weapons that surprise guests.

"Bannard Rolledo, the military commander of the floating port. He is now the mayor here, directing the local garrison and managing town affairs."

The dwarf blacksmith didn't seem to like the new mayor.

"As soon as Bennard came to power, he issued a bunch of new regulations. As long as the offenders were all hanged, whether it was killing someone or stealing a piece of bread." The blacksmith, please light his weapon. "But in fact, his The harsh laws will not affect him. This is good money, you count it."

Zelin put Gnaiya's reward in the wooden cabinet in her room, and he can find it when the dragonborn returns.

The Floating Port is the closest town to the castle. Although Zelin cares about what kind of person the new mayor Rogliedo is like, it is a pity that he has no time to go to other places. He must prepare things in advance. Although the harness prepared for Avak, the ghost horse, could allow Zelin to carry more things, he decided to give the extra space to alcohol and materials that can make bombs.

After all, the last time he had a fresh memory of bomb consumption. In another world, he has no way to replenish bomb materials, and the bomb is gone when thrown out. Regardless of the effect.

There are also valuable things from other worlds, such as Skyrim’s alchemy potions.

Finally, he left some letters.

If there is official recognition from Foltest, the demon hunter can deal with local officials in a group situation as in Towsonte, or set up a sign for the demon hunter in various places. If someone urgently needs a demon hunter, just put a request on such a sign, so that the demon hunter does not need to waste time searching everywhere.

The desperate need for demon hunters also means that they won't be needed after two days, because people are already dead.

Of course, to make a sign, you need to enter a batch of wooden boards, and then build them in many towns and intersections, which is not a small thing. Although the college has begun to take shape, it seems that there are more and more troublesome things. He couldn't expect these dozen demon hunters to go to various places in Tamoria to build signs, but the Ebin gave him a suggestion to hire ordinary people to do these things. Fixing the sign is not a troublesome thing. Everyone can do it. Many refugees who fled from Aden and Livia are happy to get a job that can make some bread.

Hiring sounds like a good plan.

But who knows how much savings he will have left after the expansion of the castle is completed. I just hope that the price given by the old dwarf will not increase too much. These years, everything is going up, only the commission remuneration will not go up.

Until the next day, Zelin had been meditating and resting in the courtyard.

Until that evening, when the sun finally sank to the other end of the mountain, the howling wind made him open his eyes. The badge on the chest of the Demon Hunter rustled slightly, and he could feel obvious fluctuations of chaotic energy around him. Originally, the Order of Warlocks was still studying this portal, but unfortunately, the Order of Warlocks is almost completely paralyzed. Zelin can only hope that the research data on the portals kept in Sinide Island will not be destroyed by the battle during the coup. .

After all, it is unrealistic to expect a group of demon hunters who know nothing about magic to study the portal. There are also those mutation systems. Professor Moru of Towson can study such results. Perhaps according to his research notes, the mage can conduct a deeper research on this.

But the prerequisite for all this is the assistance of a wizard.

As the concentration of chaotic energy increases, bright orange gleams gradually appear in the courtyard. With a sigh, Zelin lifted the package and put it on his shoulder. With a snap of his fingers, he learned from the experience of falling down in midair the last time. He walked into the portal and didn't forget the rune of the Kunen's seal.

He glanced at the castle one last time and walked into the portal.

In the high loft, the doll is lowering its eyes, looking at the vortex that is shining below.

"Good luck, kind hunter."

Chapter 535: The Dream of the Old Hunter

Familiar headaches.

Just like that familiar dream.

Familiar place.

It's like the truth that has been seen.

Zelin squatted on the ground, his knees touching the ground, and the touch of that strange building material called concrete was heard. The difference is that he didn't smell any incense. The demon hunter grabbed the package with one hand, and covered his forehead with the other, so that he gradually recovered from the pain and dizziness.

He slowly opened his eyes.

The portal behind was gone. The Orton Chapel was clearly presented in front of the Demon Hunter. This church is a little different from what he remembered. Several places that were supposed to be doors are now walls. The previous door leading to the cemetery of Ulton is missing, and there is one that was originally behind the witch heading to Old Ya The door of the South Road has also become a wall. Inside the church, you can still see the unfinished wall paint. The appearance of the statues is not that fuzzy. These are all brand-new statues that have not been exposed to the wind and sun.

Zelin squinted his eyes and looked around carefully.

He seems to have returned to Yanan. But this is not the Yanan he is familiar with.

The red-dressed witch named Caryl was not there, so was Irene the Raven, and there was no one in the church. The demon hunter couldn't help but feel a little puzzled in his heart. Could it be that the blood moon and the night of hunting have passed, and now it is several years later, has the so-called hunting passed long ago? Otherwise, he didn't understand why there was no one in the church, and through the skylight, Zelin could see that it was the afternoon outside.

Even if all this fails, according to Irene, after everything fails, people will wake up from the day before the night of hunting, but Zelin can be sure that even in the afternoon, the red witch should be in Ulton. In the chapel.

There must be something wrong.

Zelin rubbed his sore eyes, took a deep breath, pulled up the hood of the cloak, and walked out of the chapel. It is not the first time he has come to Yanan, he knows what to do. Although this is the first time he has returned to the same world through the portal, he only hopes that the difference between the two worlds will not be too great, otherwise he will come back but want to meet the acquaintances like Yusevka and Amelia. Tombstone of a friend.

If the hunting night is over, then everything is fine, this time as a leisure vacation, come to Yanan to visit old friends, take a look at Yusevka and Amelia, and Gascoyne How is the priest's family, and the strange hunter, hoping that he is still alive, then tried to contact Francesca to establish a teleport beacon and directional navigation. There are still many things to learn from in this world. Of course, stay away from anything related to blood.
