The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Zelin's gaze rested on the packages and swords stacked in the corner of the cave.

"Are you going to travel elsewhere?"

"I heard some news, I must go." Geralt was still adjusting his collar. "I will leave tonight."

"What news?" Zelin asked suspiciously.

"Of course it was the girl he was looking for." Before Geralt could say anything, someone gave Zelin an answer. At the entrance of the cave, a woman dressed in a dark green hunter costume walked in. "Xiri, after the coup on Sinide Island, was transported to the capital of the southern empire with a group of rebellious mages. She was very popular there, Enshi Emperor Er hosted a banquet to entertain her, and also announced to the world that Xili would become the queen of the empire."

The huntress put the longbow carefully made of mahogany in her hand carefully beside the hole. This is a good bow and arrow. Although Zelin doesn’t know much about it, this one is made of mahogany, whale bones and animal tendons. The bow was placed in the longbows of those tree spirits, and it stood out from the crowd. But the users are humans, which is very strange. There will only be one type of female in the forest, that is, the dryad. Zelin has never heard of Brockleron's precedent for accepting humans as residents.

Geralt walked to the other side and began to check his blade and cloth bag. The huntress turned her attention to Zelin.

"Another demon hunter? You should persuade him to abandon that crazy plan. A demon hunter who only has a sword in his body is going to the capital of the southern empire to find a girl who can become the queen of the empire? He will die halfway. ."

"What's the matter with this news?" Zelin has never heard of this. "Xiri, are you sure it's her?"

"Who else but her, the princess of Sintra, the only heir to the land of the Yaruja Estuary, are you a person who has been isolated for a long time? People are talking about her now. It is said that her dowry is a piece of land! Not only Sintra, but also the territory on the Yaluga River!" The huntress grinned a little. Verden is here, now it’s occupied by the emperor. Bah! One day if I hunt in their forest, maybe she will give me an order to hang me. What a **** cruel world."

"Hiri won't do this, if you said that we are really trying to find Xili." Zelin spread his hands out. "I stayed outside for a while, but the only news I heard was war." Ska never told Zelin about Ciri. This can't be buried, the queen of the empire, it is possible to add Sintra's crown, this is not a trivial matter. Emperor Enhill was very thoughtful.

Milva hung up her clothes wet with dew, she knelt down and unlaced the laces of her boots, and put the boots soaked in water aside. There will not be anything that can harm trees, such as swords, axes, flames, etc., in the Brokleyon Forest. Even if the clothes are wet, they can only be dried. For the dryads, they naturally have no trouble in this regard, but for humans , This will inevitably be some inconvenience.

"Don't tell me this, until she is hanged for hunting the prey of the Royal Forest Farm, maybe you can try to help me intercede?" Mirva walked out, and soon came back with two hares. Squatted aside and began to deal with the fur. "Persuade him to give up the plan. I have been outside to help people inquire about the news during this period. Several necks are only a few centimeters away from the twisted rope. He may be killed before he sees the walls of the imperial capital." Killed. Could it be that the emperor would shout in horror when he heard this news, "A demon hunter is coming, he brought this sword, riding a horse to kill me, take back the girl, come and rescue me" , Stop making trouble."

"I have to find her, she is in trouble, she needs me." Jerotla tightly guarded the belt on her hand. "Thank you for helping me inquire about the news during this time, Milva, I will pay off what I owe you, etc. One day when you need my help, I will definitely come."

"Your best reward for me is to stop bothering me. You will die outside, understand?" Milva turned to Zelin. "You can also say something, his thoughts are crazy."

Chapter 684: A New Journey

"Do you have any plans, Geralt?"

The imperial capital from Brockleron to Nilfgard is not a short trip, and it may take nearly a year if you leave. Even if there is a horse, it will not shorten the distance much. None of them had gone deep into the south, and they knew nothing about the roads there.

"Oh, come on, you guys are just as crazy."

Milva's knife flew between his fingers, and within a short while, a complete rabbit fur was hung outside.

Zelin asked Francesca to help deliver the letter to Queen Esnier. The magical energy in the valley made the demon hunter's badge ring nonstop.

"I had a dream. I dreamed that Xili was in danger." Geralt put the sword on his back. "She needs me, I know she is in the south." He was silent for a while. "Milva, you bring me." The Squirrel Party Commando has many horses, can you give me one?"

"Choose any one you like, but don't hit Morrow's attention. It is my good horse." Milva began to process the rabbit meat, cutting the meat into strips. "I don't understand what you think. That girl will become The queen, the empire is now on the battlefield. Verdon, Bruges, Livia, and Aden have all planted the flags of the men in black. She will become the queen and the queen of Sintra, even if you go to the south, come here Outside the imperial palace, what should you do next?"

There are many light spots floating in the forest. They are fluorescent plants that are special products of the Brocleon Forest, which only exist in the forest. There is no fire here, but these plants make the night forest not fall into the boundless darkness, but cast a veil of mystery. Under the tree canopy, in the bushes, these light blue fluorescent lights illuminate the roads and stone bridges. There are many tree spirits. They are holding lantern grass in their hands. The clothes made of plants and their light green skin make them look like walking plants. If they plan to hide in the forest, it is difficult for anyone to find them. .

"She is in danger, I'm pretty sure of it."

"She's in the palace, even if it's dangerous, the dignitaries of the empire are planning how, you, a demon hunter, can go to the empire to kill them?" Milva hung the meat on the branches. Dryads can't eat meat. I don’t know how to use flames, but the patients here will need "How can you be sure that she is in danger, just because of a dream?"

"Maybe this is true, Mirva." Sometimes dreams can reflect many things, and no one understands the connections and meanings, but the existence of the dreamer shows that dreams are not just false things. "Xiri may really have Danger, maybe... Enhill is a shrewd man, he needs a banner that can stabilize the Sintra rebellion for him." Rebellions continue in the conquered areas, and there are almost 8,000 Sintra rebels in the Empire. On the supply line of the battle between the Legion and the Temorian army, if he wants to continue his great cause of conquering the world, he must stabilize the situation on the Yaluga River.

"Perhaps it is not Xili, but just someone who can give him the right of legal inheritance. The real Xili may be the same as your dream. She is in danger and is in the south." Zelin said to Geralt, "I need one. The plan is not to just ride on a horse. It is difficult to find people aimlessly. The empire is too big. If she is really in the south."

"You demon hunters are as mysterious as wizards, mumbling about fate and the like all day long." Milva shook his head disdainfully, and then focused again on the fur.

"I can go south from Brockleron, cross Bruges and then cross the Yaruga River." Geralt said of his thoughts. "Go along the river and find a ferry, and then reach the south of the river. The road will be much easier. Southerners also need demon hunters. I remember you said that there are many monsters in the south, and no one will compete with demon hunters."

"Perhaps you can consider going to Towsonte first, the demon hunters of the Viper School can pick you up. You can inquire about the south from the stronghold in the Towsonte River Valley, which is the territory of the empire. If there is any news about Xili , You can all hear it." Towson is indeed a good place to stay if he wants to go to the south. In the provinces and principalities of the empire close to the Yaruja River, both Sintra and Anglin were in chaos, and only Tousant remained out of the matter.

"If you can find the ferry in Sintra, it will be very convenient." Geralt put on his gear. "Dandreen is here too. We will need two horses for a while, and then we will set off."

"If you want to hurry up as soon as possible, it is indeed a good choice to head south to Sintra." Zelin nodded.

"That road is terrible." Mirva interjected at the entrance of the cave. "There are wars, soldiers and refugees everywhere on the road. The only safe place is an old elven cemetery, other times you can only move forward in the forest. , Because the road is full of soldiers marching, maybe they will be involved in a battle."

"Thank you for the news, Milva." Zelin turned his head. "So walking to the Elf Cemetery is a good choice. I know someone there, Regis, a knowledgeable and polite herbalist, you and Dandri. You can go directly through the necropolis, and by the way, help me find out if Regis is still in his laboratory in the necropolis."

"No problem." Jello nodded. "When you go to Kyle Morhan, remember to say hello to Vesemir for me."

"You really..." Mirva walked in again. "Can't you be reasonable? You will die outside, White Wolf." The huntress said to Geralt. Give up her delicacies of mountains and seas, silk skirts, and jewelry, just to continue wandering with you? She will laugh and let people throw you out. Why do you need to go again? That girl is better off now? Everyone is good."

"Thank you for your concern, Mirva. I'm leaving." Geralt said calmly. "If I haven't come back in June this year, remember to tell Vesemir that I won't have to wait for me next winter. "

"No, if Xili is really in trouble." Zelin stood up and patted the leather pants. "Remember that there is a telescope in Towson's stronghold that can contact us, tell us what trouble we are in, we will go Help. And be careful." Zelin lowered his voice, "Be careful of Wigwarts, he must be planning something related to Hillary."

At this time, another voice came from the entrance of the cave, which was the cry of the poet.

"Geralt, I have found Mali, when shall we leave?" Dandrien stood outside and looked out into the cave. "Hurry up, Geralt, I can't wait to go outside and have some cooked meat and some drinks. The wine is warm."

"Remember to tell us when you are in trouble." Zelin stretched out his hand "We will pay attention to the matter of Xili."

"Thank you." Geralt shook hands. "I still remember the gift you made to Hilly, that self-defense weapon. I will hand it to her personally when I see her. She was right when she was in Sunnid. The gift has been awaited for a long time."

The 685th chapter finds a girl

The meeting between Esnie and Francesca went smoothly. The elf looked very happy when he came back. Although people say that the Queen of the Dryad has eyes made of molten silver and a heart made of cold steel, but the elf looks good when talking to her. If the portal opens soon, Zelin was willing to spend a few more days with Francesca in this valley full of hot springs. This is not an ordinary hot spring near a volcano, but a spring soaked in the essence of the forest

"Esnie asked me to tell you. She agreed to talk to Foltest. After a while, she will send a messenger to Vizima, and then they can start talking about bringing Brokleron Forest into Taymo. It’s Leah’s business." Francesca gently raised her hand, and a butterfly flapped its wings and landed on the elf’s sleeves embroidered with lace and vines. Expand the soil, and the tree spirit can also avoid the troubles of the surrounding human kingdoms."

"Of course, the premise is that Tamoria can win this war."

If Tamoria can win this war, Foltest can definitely succeed the assassinated Vezmir II as the highest king in the north, or the leader of the alliance of the northern nations.

Since Estine definitely let her own messenger do the next thing, Zelin just didn't have to think about the troublesome things. He can return directly to Mahakam, and he can prepare for the opening of the portal after a little trimming. There is also a reply to the Aibin, reminding him to pay attention to the news of the Far North. When he comes back next time, Zelin can go to Cowell, a kingdom located under the Dragon Mountains in the far north.

"Oh, by the way, do you know about Ciri?"

Zelin thought of the things mentioned during the meeting with Geralt yesterday, and asked Francesca, "Xiri, this is the girl I mentioned to you. There is news that she is going to become the queen of the empire?"

"Don't worry about this, I doubt the credibility of this news." The elf's fingers were bent against his chin. "My...an ally, in the imperial capital of Nilfgard, she told me that there was a problem with that Ciri. Everyone was celebrating, or conspiring something, but Enhill was mediocre about it, and how to describe the appearance of Hiri, she said she was watching a good actor. Maybe the Nilfgard didn’t find it at all. Sintra’s lion cubs, in order to deal with this war, they need a Ciri, which can at least split and shake the Sintra rebels. So I don’t think we need to take a completely uncertain, or even false news. To tell you."

"What you said is very possible."

This cannot be ruled out as one of Enhill's strategies, releasing false news, or making a few confusing decisions, which he has always been good at.

They rode on horses and walked out slowly. This is a rare leisure time, everything is in normal operation, and there will be no trouble in a short time. If the demon hunter can also enjoy the holiday, then it is his holiday. Although he is a person who can't take time off, he is happy to find a time to rest after experiencing a lot of troubles.

"I will go to Tocente while you are away." Francesca asked Zelin. "You and Duchess Anna have come over. Do you have any valuable suggestions? If I want to I want to talk to her about cooperation in all aspects."

"Don't worry, I think you and her should have a common language in many places." Zelin recalled his experience in Towsonte. "Duke Anna is very smart and a fair person. But sometimes she is a little too Believe in those legends, you are an elf. If you go to Towsonte as the elf queen, be prepared to be asked by her a bunch of questions from legends and stories until it gets dark. There are almost no non-human beings in the South. Race."

"It sounds terrible." The elf shrugged expressionlessly. "Are you sure you are talking about a duchess, not a female student with over-curiosity in school? When I go to Eritusa, I often meet In this case, what you are talking about sounds like someone who is still interested in everything and legends, but has a special identity."

"You can think of it this way, but she is really smart, and sometimes behaves more strongly. But remember that the etiquette in the south is very troublesome, and every action and language in formal occasions must be thought of those boring court etiquette." Ze Lin almost forgets that during his time, every time he talked to people, he would add a variety of different prefixes to the duchess to show respect. "But I don't think it will be difficult for you."

They chatted along the way and walked to the outskirts of Brockleron Forest. The air here is fresh and the sun is good. If you stand on the edge of the forest, you can clearly notice the two completely different worlds inside and outside the forest. Not only the races inhabited, but even the climate and temperature are completely different. Magic has a great influence on this forest, but it has also created this wonderland-like place.
