The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Also." When the marshal was about to retire, the emperor raised a hand "tell all the officers on the front line, tell them that the empire will only have one response to the invasion of the north. For a tooth for a tooth, I don't allow any officers to fight." Or be soft-hearted when executing orders."

Chapter 512

"Your Majesty! News from Sinide Island!"

Ridania's silent royal council finally heard news from the outside, and an attendant ran in holding a report sealed in flame. This caused all members of the council to turn their heads and look in the direction of the door. King Wizmir raised his head and opened his eyes. An attendant was walking towards him holding a tray in small steps, and a rolled letter paper was placed on the tray.

"Give me the news."

The report he ordered Dixcher to bring back was not just a coup report, but also a list of contacts between the spies in the south of the cult and the nobles in Redania. Some things could not be done except for the two of Vizmir and Dixcher. People know.

At all times, the spymaster is the person the king trusts most.

The attendant walked across the left side of the parliament round table and walked towards King Wezmir. Wizmir stood up and reached for the secret letter with his ruby ​​ring and king's coat of arms.

At this time, Vizmir noticed that the attendant looked a little strange. As a human, his ears were a bit too long and pointed, although compared with real elves, his ears were not too big for ordinary humans. Difference.

The attendant opened the letter, a cold light flashed through the rolled parchment, and a poisoned dagger lit up.

"For the free spirit! For the empire!"

The king's blood spurted out of his chest in an instant, and Wizmir looked down at the dagger that pierced his chest in disbelief, and everything around him seemed to slow down.

The frightened Treasurer opened his eyes wide, and stood up as if he wanted to flee. A closer attendant was shocked and didn't even notice the dinner plate that was about to slip from the worm's hand. The palace butler was growing his mouth and reaching out to the door as if he was calling the guards. The two guards at the door were running from the door to the room, drew out his sword while running, and a guard holding a spear was also caught by his own spear. The handle tripped and almost fell to the ground.

Wizmir wanted to grab the half-elf's wrist, but the assassin was faster, he twisted his wrist, and then drew the dagger. The king slumped on the throne, the metal crown on his forehead fell to the ground, knocking off a sharp corner, and rolling a few times, the crown hit the corner of the parliament table and stopped in a pool of blood.

The king's vision became blurred, darkness began to cover his vision, metal collisions, calls for help, screams and messy footsteps were mixed together, guards and assassins were scuffled together, and someone was yelling for a doctor. But all this has disappeared from Wizmir's ears, and there is only a louder and louder hum in his ears.

The warmth and fog gradually enveloped him, and he thought of his child, the prince who was only thirteen years old, and his daughter, Dahlia.

On October 21, 1267, the strategic genius of the Tritog family and the impartial Vizmir II stopped thinking.

Nilfgard's Imperial Intelligence Service successfully proved their worth to the emperor.

"Very well, they won't notice that they are imprisoned underground." Tishaya folded her arms and looked at the finished rune. Then, she looked at the demon hunter. "It's almost dawn. Today, Gas Tang Palace will hold a warlock conference. I don't know what Philippa will do, but she will bring the accusations and the so-called traitors she calls to the conference."

"At that time, what should you do?" Zelin looked in the direction of Luoxia Palace with some worry. If the time is right, Dixcher’s soldiers should have entered Sinide Island by now.

"Philippa's goal is to win more warlocks to stand under her banner. If enough warlocks in the convention vote for the northern kingdoms, even if the council opposes, the cult should stand on the side of the king. Join them in the war against the Nilfgaard Empire." Tisaya trimmed her sleeves and arranged the slightly messy patterns on her clothes into a symmetrical look. "If I'm not mistaken, she will invite warlocks from a neutral country. Witness the viciousness of the Nilfgard Empire and the spy faces, such as Kaduin of Kerviel and Dolgaly of Sidaris."

"But what can you do? Just deal with Wigwarts and the Empire?"

It stands to reason that the Demon Hunter should be neutral, but he can't choose to be neutral when Francesca encounters difficulties and let him sit and watch. Especially after the wizard sorcerer helped him so much.

Sometimes, neutrality is shameful.

"But if you can't deal with Philippa, Baihuagu and Francesca, what should they do?"

"There will be a neutral person." Tishaya smiled mysteriously. "A neutral person, I invited her to the conference. Her words are strong enough to convince the entire cult and council. Philippa's defense will not It works."

If the female principal is so sure, Zelin can only hope that her confidence will be certain. He promised to Falaxiska that if his efforts were not successful this time, he would support the elves to use their own way to seize survival. The demon hunter didn't want to get there, because the bloodshed caused by the war had been enough.

"Who is the neutral?"

"You know her." Tishaya sighed. "Xiri, Sintra's lion cub. I had anticipated a coup, so I found Ye Naifah before, hoping she could bring Xili to Sintra. Come to Tokushima. Sheri's blood has the ability to describe everything. She hasn't learned how to control this power, but at Erithusa Academy, she will be well taught."

They walked along the stone bridge to the Luoxia Palace. Zelin looked at Tisya who was walking on the black stone slab and asked curiously.

"Why can you only step on this? Even jump over?"

"Because of time. These buildings are badly damaged. Humidity, erosion, strong winds, salty air, all of which have a bad effect on the walls. Repairing will cost a lot of money, so we replaced them with phantoms." Tisya lowered Head "Be careful of the places that are not black, there are illusions, you will fall."

"I guess it's not time, it's prestige."

"Both."

They crossed the stone bridge, and the lights of the Luoxia Palace hadn't stopped. Everything seemed fine, but the unusual moonlight seemed to herald the arrival of danger. Zelin walked up the steps of the palace. At this moment, the badge on his chest was shaking uncontrollably. He grabbed it with his hand and felt the shaking spread all over his body.

Tisya also stopped in front.

"Someone tried to cast a spell at Erithusa Academy!"

Immediately afterwards, a scream cut through the silent night sky, and the scream overwhelmed the noise of the entertaining crowd in the banquet hall. After the voice, there was a disturbing silence.

The cold wind howled across the island of Sinide.

Chapter 513 Coup

"Handcuff him!"

The candles in the corridors of the Luoxia Palace were all extinguished, and the only light source was the cold light ball floating above the warlock's head. Keira Metz has replaced the tulle netting she wore at the banquet and replaced it with a set of men's clothes that are easy to move.

Kayla had a bright orange handcuff in her hand, and the handcuffs made of anti-magic metal shook and clinked. A mage was framed out of the room. Two soldiers in gray leather jackets were holding spears, the spears pointed in front of the mage. The soldier's jacket was also inlaid with fragments of Devil's gold.

"How dare you put that thing in my hands!" Alto Terranova shouted, "Dare you, Metz! I am a member of the Council of the Order!"

"You used to be. Now you are just an ordinary traitor. And you will be treated as a traitor."

"You mean bitch, you..."

Terranova's words were knocked back into the mouth by Kayla's fist and his teeth. Kayla shook her hand, and the cold light above her head shone like a brass ring. The mage fainted, the light was very dim, Zelin didn't see the blood, but Aalto's head was drooping, this one must be enough.

Tishaya went to see Ye Naifah, and another neutral warlock in the Council of the Order, Ang Jetimtis. Zelin was about to go to Francesca's room, but he happened to see this scene in the corridor. Fortunately, the coupists did not notice him.

"We didn't find the elf, her room was empty."

Zelin looked around. He stepped on the window sill on the side of the corridor, jumped up and grabbed the beam above the corridor, and pulled himself up with both hands. I am glad that the warlock did not impose illusions on these places as well.

"Search her room! Find the list, she must be in contact with the Squirrel Party, find the location and the list!" Kaila shouted to the soldiers who came to report, "You two, go search the room, and the rest, follow me! Yes, the three of you stay here, stay here, and don't allow anyone to pass!"

After all, the warlock walked to the end of the corridor, and the soldiers followed him, and the sound of the iron boots formed a discordant note in the Luoxia Palace. Until Kayla walked over the corner, the cold light ball disappeared, and the corridor suddenly plunged into darkness.

Zelin looked at the three soldiers who were standing in the corridor. He gingerly crossed the beams above the beams. The light was very dim, but at close range, he could still see that there were some cracks in some places of the beams. Maybe It's in disrepair for a long time, and maybe it's such a remote place that no one will notice. The demon hunter carefully avoided those cracked places to prevent noise when stepping on it.

"Did you say that there will be warlocks here?"

A soldier looked at the dark corridor around him, and said to a nearby colleague, "Look at the mage who was beaten, he doesn't look that great either."

"It's an enchantment, I've heard that there is an enchantment here, and those mages and sorcerers are no different from ordinary people here."

"Don't worry, we have this, they don't have anything." Another soldier patted the spear in his hand. "Here, we are better than those warlocks."

Zelin looked at the soldiers below, crossed their positions, and then fell to the ground gently like a cat at the corner. He leaned against the wall, and after reconfirming that the soldiers hadn't noticed him, he turned and walked to the other side of the corridor.

He followed Kayla's whereabouts, and the trail of the Sorceress was easy to find. He has not heard the sound, whether it is an explosion or a roar, which means that the Elf Warlock has temporarily hid, and may have gone to reunite with her allies. They are all smart people, and after knowing the news of the coup in advance, It is impossible to stay in the room and wait for the enemy to come.

The banquet hall of the Luoxia Palace not far away has changed the atmosphere at this time. The people attending the banquet were gone, replaced by a group of warlocks and wizards uniformly dressed in plain clothes, as well as soldiers surrounding nearby, as well as those prisoners confined by anti-magical metal shackles.
