The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Looking at Avalak's calm face, the demon hunter decided not to continue talking to him. "You said Eredin is a stupid, I don't know who Eredin is, but I think you are probably similar to that Eredin. Do you think this is a simple transaction? I don't think so. Hillary doesn't want to join you, who Can I force her? Yes, I would not be arrogant to think that I can guide someone, nor would I be arrogant to think that only I was qualified to guide someone."

The corners of Avalak's mouth moved slightly. "I thought there would be people with the help of Ain Sidi Elf, who might think differently from ordinary humans." He also stood up and put on his hood again. "This is your choice? Think about it for Yanzi. This will allow her to face her own strength. Her blood is no longer a burden. She thinks she is carrying a heavy package. You also think it is, but you are not willing. Follow the advice of a wise man, open the package, and take out the gems inside. I hope you can make a more professional and sensible judgment. I have met your colleague, Geralt, who is in the place you call Tousent. Reject me, but I believe he will make a real choice, just as I still believe you will do the same."

"You don't hold this statue?" Zelin spread his hand.

"It's worthless to me."

So the demon hunter bent down and stuffed the sculpture into his package.

"I guess your speech is over."

"Yes."

Zelin picked up the boat pole, and was about to leave with the boat.

"Wait a minute."

"I'm glad we didn't go to war directly. To be honest, I fought with your colleagues." Zelin moved away from Avalak on the boat. "But I'm in a hurry now, gems, or stones. Those are all things from Hiri. As you said just now, I am not arrogant and think that I can decide the affairs of someone who has nothing to do with me. You have found the wrong person. "

The body of the demon hunter was tense, and he was ready to face the attack of the mage at any time. Unexpectedly, Avalak just stood there, watching Zelin punting away from him. After a few seconds, a blue whirlwind wrapped Arawak's figure, and when the whirlwind dissipated, the figure of the elf sage had disappeared.

But Zelin heard the voice left by the sage when he left.

"It's not over yet, Demon Hunter. It's not over yet."

ps: In the opening CG of The Witcher 1, Geralt used a continuous Alderfa seal to deal with the vampire bird that Princess Atha transformed into. The effect is exactly the same as that of a blower, but there is no such gameplay in the game.

Chapter 1314 flapping wings

Cardopacia burst into thick smoke after the violent shaking.

People coughed and escaped. The villagers in the fishing village outside looked at the exit on the hillside in surprise, pointing and guessing what happened inside. There were many Byzantine guards who escaped. They were among those who escaped in the explosion and smoke. The citizens are no different.

Suddenly, several citizens who were fleeing were pushed aside by the people behind and almost fell. Five Byzantine soldiers in heavy armor swarmed Manuel II out of the smoke-filled cave of Cadopacia.

"...Don't be frightened by the Turks' conspiracy, because you are the glorious Byzantines, you are the masters of this land, don't panic, take up your weapons." Manuel walked quickly, while pulling his throat. Shouting. But this time no one stopped to listen to his speech, and no one wanted to stay and work for him, except for the few heavy armored guards he was closest to.

"Come on, sir, those Turks are about to catch up." A guard urged. "Someone deliberately sabotaged the warehouse that stocked explosives. We still don't know how many of them there are."

"I knew that there must be traitors in Cardopacia!" Manuel said out of breath, and his exhaustion made it difficult for him to express anger in his words. "When a group of guards carried more than ten boxes of supplies to the pier without my order, and when other soldiers from the pier were removed, I knew they had a problem! They must have wanted to occupy the pier and let the Ottomans get through the waterway. Attack, I hope this group of traitors will not die! They think I know nothing about the situation in this city, they are wrong, I am the master here, these traitors do not want to take away the land that belongs to me. Where is Kuru!? Where is our Musketeer?"

"Your Excellency, we haven't seen Captain Sakuru." The guards shook their heads. The smoke made them unable to open their eyes, but even if they were paying attention, they did not forget to push away the people in front of them and make a way for themselves. .

"Then look for, find him, and gather our soldiers!" They staggered out, Manuel's bright clothes had long been stained with soot, like a tabby cat escaping from the fire. "Let this group of Turkish assassins see and see how powerful we are! I thought it would frighten me and kill me with an explosion? I am the heir of the Pariologs family and the owner of the purple yellow robe." He walked to the pass. Going to the steps of the fishing village below, frowning and looking at the citizens and soldiers who are fleeing below, the fat face makes it difficult for people to tell whether he is squinting. "Go, tell them, gather immediately, I don't send them so many coins every month to let them escape when they are in danger!"

The two soldiers saluted Manuel, then trot to the fishing village below.

Almost all the people who escaped gathered here. There were no ships on the pier. They could only stand on the beach and look at the smoking cave above. The small fishing village has become crowded. Some people are chanting the names of family and friends. If they are lucky, they will find their acquaintances in cheers and fortune. If they are not lucky, they can only continue to look at the cave exit. , I hope that the next person who runs out is someone I know. A woman was calling her child's name in the crowd, and two missing children were standing there crying.

Driven by the guards, the chaotic Byzantine guards began to gather towards the open space in the middle of the fishing village. The shouts, footsteps, and rants were mixed together. The villagers and the escaped citizens were driven away, leaving them a group of people to stand. On the dock by the sea, some people even had to stand in the water, letting the waves wet their clothes. Someone saw their relatives and friends running out of the cave, but they were separated by these soldiers. They blocked the steps leading from the cave to the fishing village below, and did not allow anyone coming out of it to approach.

"Citizens, soldiers, take up your weapons, don't be afraid!" Manuel stood on the steps, looking at the scattered soldiers gathered below. Some of them had no weapons in their hands. It was early morning. , Many people just escaped. With the audience, Manuel seemed to be more energetic. He straightened his crown, as if the Roman emperor was standing outside the Byzantine palace, speaking to his imperial army. "We are the guardians of Constantinople, we are the real masters of this land, and we are Byzantines! Warriors, muster the courage, fight bravely, don't let the enemy..."

Of course, they couldn't just stand in place and listen to Manuel's speech. The captain of the Templars began to arrange vigilance with other Byzantine soldiers. They had to determine the situation first, and then take Cardopacia back. Several listless soldiers began to set up a guard zone, and when they didn't feel so nervous, sleepiness surged. Most of the soldiers listened to Manuel's imposing speech in the cold morning. As for how many of them actually listened to it, I am afraid that only the soldiers listening below would know.

The canoe of the demon hunter docked while still some distance from the pier, stepping on rugged rocks, and the sea was constantly washing the stone shore under its feet. The demon hunter narrowed his eyes slightly, and set up an eye shed in front of him to look towards the fishing village on the shore. There must be something wrong with Ezio's plan. Manuel was not assassinated, but escaped under the protection of other guards. However, looking at their vigilant appearance, they should have escaped when the explosion did not fight the Ottoman spies and Ezio inside. And soon, what he saw proved his guess.

The people squeezed out of the cave had no way to get to the fishing village, but were pushed away from the slopes on both sides of the steps by the people running out behind. Zelin noticed a woman with a hood pulling along the crowd towards the **** below, and black hair tips flowed out of the hood. This must be Dilara, the demon hunter did not see Ezio, but he believed that the assassin's concealment ability could hide himself in the crowd without being discovered by others. Zelin greeted the people who came down, acting like a citizen who hurried over to meet after seeing an acquaintance. There are many such people here.

"Dilara."

Zelin leaned behind the Turkish woman and whispered her name softly. Dilara's body shook suddenly, she seemed to be taken aback, but after turning her head to see who was behind, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"You startled me, where did you go?"

"I have some trouble, but it has been resolved." Zelin was very glad that he was alone in taking the sculpture. "Where is Ezio? What happened inside?"

Chapter 1315 Correcting Mistakes

Ezio had already come out, squatting on a protruding rock on the slope, looking at the Byzantine soldiers in the fishing village below.

"How about on the pier?" The assassin noticed the demon hunter who came by. Zelin put on a loose windbreaker and hid the sword behind his back. The Byzantines have already begun to be on guard, and if you want to ignore them, it is best to hide their weapons.

"It's just some deserters who want to take some treasures stolen from Manuel's warehouse and run away when they see the situation badly. Luckily, the sculpture I'm looking for is inside." Zelin patted his package. Through the leather, he could feel the bumpy touch of the sculpture in the package.

"Congratulations, this time you will not be asked for liquidated damages by your employer."

Zelin shrugged. It is hard to say who the employer would benefit from asking him for liquidated damages. "What's going on here? I came out of the water hole on the other side and saw a fire here."

"There were some accidents in the plan. I haven't been able to kill Manuel." Zelin saw that Ezio's trench coat was burned by gunpowder, but the assassin was not injured. "He might have noticed some signs. I thought he would stay in his fortress."

"What's going on inside? You bombed the city?"

The remaining spies of Dilara have been rescued. They spread out like refugees, keeping a distance from each other, but they can also provide immediate support when someone is in trouble. Their shabby prison uniforms are no different from the linen clothes of ordinary citizens. If it weren't for Dilara's reminder, Zelin could only distinguish a few spies by the slight torture scars on their faces and arms.

"No, I blew up the Byzantine powder magazine." Ezio said lightly. "Manuel, the old fox, immediately escaped when the explosion happened. I had hoped to use this trick to attract Manuel from his lair, but he was on guard when the explosion happened. Ran to the entrance of the cave under the protection of you. You said you saw a group of deserters. Manuel may have noticed that the deserters stole his things. He thought it was a prelude to the Turkish attack. He must have been scared by his past experience. . Did you see the package around his waist?"

Zelin followed Ezio’s prompts and looked at Manuel II, who was standing on the steps generously giving a speech. He wore a brown cloth bag around his waist. The cloth bag was not too big, but it was just fine. Load some things, such as the key disc from the Masyaf Library.

"He won't run away." The demon hunter cannot say that he knows Manuel, but as a person whose goal is to regain the throne, he will not abandon the only city near Constantinople and Army recruited on this basis. Manuel is over sixty years old, and he has no chance to come back again. "He will find a way to recapture the city. He also needs Cardopacia as his training base and barracks, at least not until his life is threatened. When will Tariq's fleet come over?"

"At least afternoon."

"It seems he can't count on it anymore."

In the transaction between Tariq and Manuel, unusable guns and real gunpowder were delivered. Ezio found the place where the Byzantines stored gunpowder and set it alight. However, this seemingly powerful explosion will not destroy the entire city, and someone may be injured while escaping. But in such a city, he can only avoid harm to ordinary people as much as possible.

"Do you have any plans?"

"There is no plan. The target is right in front of us, separated from us by soldiers in a phalanx. I think what we are going to do is simple, it can't be said to be a plan." Zelin raised his hand and pointed to the soldiers in the fishing village below. And Manuel. He already knew who was trying to **** the statue, unexpectedly, perhaps unexpectedly. But this freed him from considering more unexpected factors when making plans. "Attract attention, see the fishing village on the pier? Block the cave, cut off his escape, and then control the pier, so as to prevent Manuel or other Templars from taking the key and escaping. When the key is handed, we will Get on the boat and retreat. By the way, where is his captain?"

"I killed Sakuru, he is a difficult enemy." Ezio lowered his head and moved his wrist slightly. The Hidden Blade popped out, with blood still remaining on it. "The iron armor on this guy can't even be penetrated by a pistol, and he wears a chain mail under his collar. At first I thought I pierced his artery with a Hidden Blade, but he almost grabbed it in reverse. He must He is a very experienced Templar."

"Very well, we have one less trouble to consider."

"But how do we get around?" Dilara asked suddenly, and she lifted the black hair that fell in her ears. "They blocked the pier and the coast. You can get around more than 300 meters from the shore, but you can't get to the pier without disturbing anyone."

"Not alarmed? Why not alarmed?" Zelin asked back. "How many people do you have who can act now, Dilara?"

"Four, count me five, but they have injuries and are hungry. You can't assign them combat missions. If there is no need, I will not agree to let them sacrifice. I rescued them instead of letting them die. Yes." Dilara's tone was firm.

"No, this is enough."

Zelin glanced at the still eloquent speech, not even noticing that the soldiers below had begun to conceal Manuel, who was showing an expression of boredom, and whispered to Ezio and Dilara about his plan.

The smoke and dust in the city gradually calmed down a lot. When the shock passed and when it realized that this was not an earthquake, the commotion and panic among the crowd dissipated a lot. Some people still in the city began to rush to fight the fire. People began to gather in twos and threes to discuss the cause of the incident in a low voice. Rumors of an explosion caused by Turkish spies began to appear. No one would be suspicious of these people who gathered with acquaintances to ask and comfort each other. It was early morning, and they were all frightened. Similarly, the alert Byzantine soldiers would not notice that there are five people who seem to be standing together and chatting, slowly moving towards the fishing village.
