The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"No, because I offer them more benefits in the assembly hall."

"That's the best, thanks to you." Although Francesca did not participate in the battle, what she did after the battle can prevent Zelin from being entangled by more spies and spies, and will not let them. The props and weapons used in the battle beyond this world are exposed.

In the telescope, Enid showed a tangled look. For several days, she seemed to be waiting for Zelin to say something, but she didn't want to take the initiative to mention it.

"What's the matter?" Zelin asked strangely. "Any questions?"

"You..." The elf stared straight at Zelin. "You don't want to ask, why didn't I help you this time?"

Zelin sighed lightly, he thought something would happen.

"Of course not, Enid, I believe you must have your own more important reasons. If you have not told me, it means that this is not easy to describe or difficult to speak to you. Of course I will not Go and ask you. I think if you have nothing else, you will definitely help me like everyone else. I understand your difficulties, just as you have always understood me in the past."

"Your speaking skills are as good as in the past. To be precise, it is getting better and better." The elf took a deep breath and stretched out a finger. "Okay, but don't think that saying a few good things will make me forget that after I returned to the castle that day, I saw another person lying on your bed."

"Uh..." Zelin coughed slightly, and he decided not to touch this subject first, "Has Gnaiya arrived?"

After the things here are over, Ganya returns to the castle through the portal between Sinide Island and Mahakam, and Virginia will stay here for a few days. After all, she also has a Dean Eritusa. The title of consultant, Margarita has to ask her about some things. Compared with Tisaya, the lifetime honorary dean, Margarita, the principal, has to deal with more trivial matters and minor details.

"She has arrived and went out again. She seems to have met a friend in Fojian." Francesca rolled her eyes. She was combing the curly hair on her temples with a comb. She seemed to have just woke up. , Still sitting next to the bed in a pajamas. "It seems to be a well-known person among the farmers, like a female knight, a woman who is quite famous among the dwarves and the farmers of Aden. I don't know the specifics. I can't publicly appear in the dwarf dominion. What are you going to do? Time to come back?"

"For these two days, Virginia's affairs here are almost finished. After two days, I will go back with her."

The situation on Sinide Island is not as bad as expected, but the situation is not so good either. The successive wars have drawn the attention of the kings, and the Sorceress Gathering also does not want the kings to continue to liquidate the Order. With the involvement of the two parties, coupled with the unique location of Sinide Island, Tisaya still remains Enough to wander among nations, using new treaties and promises to maintain the status of Eritusa Academy. Zelin asked Tishaya if he needed some financial assistance, but in the end, it turned out that the influence of the Order over the centuries on the Northern Territory allowed them to master a considerable amount of wealth.

"The portal is about to open, but I think this time, you don't need to cross the portal again." Francesca put her fluffy blonde hair behind her head, and the mithril armor that Zelin gave her was hung on By the bed. "According to my guess, this time the portal will open where you have been, that terrible world, do you remember? I killed a cursed tree together with the Nord woman, that world. Me. I think you don’t need to go there anymore. That world is on the verge of dying. It’s a cursed bad place. Maybe it’s not suitable for living creatures like humans. I talked to Ada about this. She thought that the world was This kind of force is forcibly twisted, and it becomes a place where humans can live. Just like an underwater barrier, there is air in the barrier, and people can live, but the barrier will eventually be broken, and the influx of sea water will Drown everyone inside. We should focus on a safer world, not a place that may perish at any time."

"But that world has magic, kingdoms, and many villages where normal people live. It doesn't make sense. And their organization is still there. That world shouldn't become too dangerous."

Zellin recalled what he had seen and heard in Losric and Yanorlund. Siris claimed to be from the kingdom of twilight, while Frid lived in Rondo, a country that accepts wandering souls, and came from far away. The knight of Langureg. The demon hunter did not have a clear understanding of these countries, but he deduced based on the situation in Losric that perhaps these countries are likely to be dominated by a city as large as the city of Losric, plus the ring arched nearby. Villages and cults. But even so, there are already an astonishing number of human inhabitants.

"That world can't give us anything. Compared with these things, why can't you accompany me to go to Skyrim? The hammer drop and the high rocks near Skyrim sound like good places. We haven't been to Skyrim. The civil war in China has become fierce. This is a good time to go to other territories to expand the trading business. And we never know what impact the things in that world will have, and take the things in the cursed land away from the original The place itself is stupid."

"I understand, Enid, but you have seen the resins I brought, and tested them with magic. Those are safe, and I know how to tell them. Besides, these resins have indeed brought me a lot of Help." Zelin paused before continuing, "Besides, some of my friends are still there. I want to go back and see how they are."

This time Siris has never responded to Zelin's call, which is very abnormal. And Frid has always been mysterious, unwilling to talk about what happened in that world. Think about it carefully, it's been a long time since I met Hiris last time. And he was really curious about what the world had become now. Gwendelin said that the ashes had been awakened, and he went to collect the souls enough to spread the fire, and threw himself into the furnace again to make the flames flourish again. If this is the case, Zelin is very curious about what the world looks like when the flames are flourishing.

Of course, there are other people, such as the fire girl and the chief priest of the imam at the fire-spreading sacred place, and the thief Grelart. He doesn't know if the Knight of Igo, who guarded his saint, has escaped from the secluded church, and Hazel still He stayed in the church and became a yellow finger. I don't know if Gwendelin has cleaned up the filth of the secluded church after eliminating Eldridge. As for Aldray's Gaelic Knights, Zelin didn't worry, the flames were still burning steadily in the world in the painting.

"If you insist, you'd better not leave the portal too far, and remember, you must check what you bring back, and keep in touch with me at all times. If it is near the portal, I can provide you with Magic support, after all, that world is very strange, the chaotic energy cannot escape. As for the rest, wait until you come back to talk about it, you can come directly to Hundred Flowers Valley to find me."

Chapter 1404: Danso's Siegfried

In the end, the battle with wild hunting turned into market rumors, which was diluted by more surprising news.

More than ten years after Foltest ascended the throne, Tamoria finally had a new heir, Princess Yada, the only princess of the Kingdom of Tamoria, and the only heir of King Foltest. If nothing happens, she will undisputedly become the new master of this throne that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Many people are thinking about how to build a good relationship with the princess who will master one of the most powerful countries in the north. Francesca also sent an emissary to Vizima.

On the way back to Mahakam, Virginia suggested that they could go back. They would pass through the city of Vizima. The wizard girl wanted to take a good look at the world. She had been here a few times before, but she was only on the carriage, occasionally supervising the city in the distance. During this period of time, she has learned a lot about the customs of the world. Now, she wants to see with her own eyes what the capital of Temoria, one of the three most powerful countries in the north, looks like.

Considering that the portal matter was not so urgent, Zelin agreed. They did not use the portal on Sinide Island to return to Mahakam, but rode two horses all the way to the west, along the main road.

Zelin thinks Virginia will be disappointed, because after seeing the magnificent palace of Sunnid Island, the bustling of Goss Willen, and the city where Hundred Flowers Valley is integrated with nature, the wizard girl is very concerned about the architecture of the world. Expectations of style are a bit too high. Maybe he has already started to compare Vizima City with some of the more famous cities in Cyrodir. In my mind, I imagined a ground covered with white marble, neat flower beds and grass plants on both sides of the road, straight houses and tower tops reflecting golden light in the sun.

Maybe Zelin can take Virginia on a trip to Tousent, which is indeed a good place with beautiful scenery.

But in fact, the new city of Vizima has not been more than thirty years old. Thirty years ago, the capitals of the most powerful countries in the North looked like makeshift wooden thatched huts, and the streets were full of hens and dirty children foraging, and there was only a castle surrounded by a moat, and The wooden houses scattered outside the castle are messy. It was not until 20 years ago that Foltest took the opportunity to move the throne out of Vizima Castle because of the curse of Princess Yata and built a new castle outside the castle, and began to build Vizima from wood. The long process of rebuilding the village into a brick town.

It took them three days to reach the outskirts of Vizima on horseback. This is why in his world, river transportation is so important and popular. Compared with the straight and rapid rivers, the unsafe and densely covered roads are not a good choice for travel.

Virginia's riding skills were really bad. After running for a long time, when she got off the horse, Zelin almost asked Zelin to hug her down.

"I feel like I'm going to fall apart... The horses here are running too fast. I still miss the pony in Skyrim."

On both sides of the road in front of the city gate of Vizima are neatly located on both sides of the residential houses, churches and hotels. This was originally a villager who lived near the old Vijma, but gradually, this new Vijma became like an attraction for iron filings. Magnets attracted more and more people to the place near the city gate. Now it is like a small town built under the city wall, separated from the Vizima city wall by only a moat. Now it has become a temporary resting place for all kinds of travelers. Demon hunters noticed that today there seem to be many people dressed as mercenaries and knights outside the city, who are being inspected by guards in the guard room at the gate of the city, waiting to enter the city. Horses packed with weapons and equipment filled the road, and the townspeople on both sides of the road pointed to the knights on the road and talked a lot. Even the appearance of a demon hunter here did not arouse much attention.

"The next time we go out, I will get a carriage, so that's it, at least it won't be so bumpy." Zelin helped Virginia rub her shoulders. "After all, the road here is not easy to follow. You know, a year ago, the army of the Southern Empire, the nearest unit to Vijima, was only one day and one night away, so the citizens of Vijima at that time The road is completely destroyed to prevent the cavalry of the imperial army from attacking the capital. Otherwise, our journey will be easier, and you will not be so hard."

Virginia rubbed her waist and panted on the bench by the roadside. Hearing Zelin's answer, she gave a dry smile. "I thought you would say, go get a good workout."

"How come. You are in good health now. To be honest, judging from the physique of a normal person, the first time you ride a horse, you have performed very well now. And you learned very fast, you can at least let No matter what the situation, I sit firmly on the saddle instead of crawling on the horse's back with the horse's neck."

"Don't make fun of me." Virginia chuckled and waved her hand. She looked at Vizima's city wall. "This city... is different from what I expected. I thought I could see it from outside the city. Towers and buildings in the city."

"As for this city, you will know when you enter. By the way, we will stay here for one night tonight."

"Stay, stay overnight?" Virginia opened her mouth and said incoherently. "Wait, wait, here it is, you really surprised me, if you can, I would like to...Wait, let me think about it, maybe we'll wait a few more days? Uh, I mean, we're here Vizima came to make a sightseeing trip on the way back, right? But if you insist..."

"Of course, if I remember the time correctly, tonight, we should be able to see a mirage under the moonlight on the dam of Vizima. This is a famous scenery in the north. We are lucky. Sooner or later, we don’t You may see it." Zelin put up a shed in front of him and looked at Vizima's city gate. "I think the city gate will close in an hour. If I remember correctly, Vizima’s curfew should have been lifted three months ago. You take a rest, and then we go to Laona in the Vizima Trade Zone. La Cotte’s Tavern, there will be bards performing in the hall every night in that tavern. This is your first time to take a good look at this different world. You will need a tour guide, although this tour guide is a part-time demon hunter ."

Virginia nodded with a complicated expression. "Well, I'm looking forward to it."

They rested outside the city for half an hour. Zelin and Virginia chatted about what happened to him in Vizima. When mentioning the lake fairies and the legendary holy grail knights living on the nearby Black Seagull Island, Virginia rarely showed a look of surprise, and subconsciously touched the star of Azura hidden in her arms. But Zelin didn't notice the anomaly, because they were following the back of the crowd entering the city and walked into Vizima, who was about to close the city gate.

When walking through Vizima’s temple area, Virginia frowned slightly because of the terrible living environment and even the gloomy slums on the side of the city road. Later, when she found out that they didn’t need to live in such a place tonight, Master The girl's mood was a little better. Unlike Gnaya, who can tolerate all kinds of bad rest environments, Virginia prefers to find a clean and comfortable place wherever she goes. She hates those bugs that may get out of the bed and in the dirt. . The gorgeous prostitutes that can be seen everywhere in the temple area made the mage girl frown deeply. She stared at Zelin, as if telling him, if she must live here tonight, she would rather rush back to Mahakam overnight. Go.

After passing through the inner city gates, Virginia's disgust when walking through the trade zone was instantly washed away by the neat and clean streets. The Vizima Trade Zone is an area where the capital gathers all kinds of elites from the society, including nobles, wealthy merchants, and warlocks. Laid with clean cobblestones, densely-arranged brick buildings on both sides of long narrow streets, as well as flowers on the windows of standing houses, it can be said that this place is even on the same level as the streets of Towsonte Boxland.

The old Narakot Tavern is still overcrowded. To Zelin's surprise, he had just walked into the tavern and found a seat near the corner to sit down with Virginia, when a young man with short light blonde hair came up.

"Pale green armor, brown cloak, and griffin badge on the chest, you must be the demon hunter Zelin." The young man with the beautiful features walked up and greeted Zelin. "God, I didn't expect to meet you on the first day when I came to Vizima. I am Siegfried, Siegfried of Denso."

"Danso's Siegfried?" Zelin looked confused, holding the gloved palm of the young man in front of him, and shook it lightly. The knight in front of him had a comfortable smile on his face, and under the crimson robe was a polished knight armor. The demon hunter recalled in his mind as much as possible whether he had seen this person before. He felt a little familiar with this person's name, but couldn't think of where he heard it for a while. The knight is very young, but only in his twenties. Zelin looked at each other up and down, he didn't see the cunning and malice in the eyes that looked directly at him. "Have we met before, Siegfried?"

"I haven't seen it, but you must have seen my father." Siegfried retracted his hand and cleared his throat. "My father is the Ike knight of Deniers. My father told me about you. He said that you are a good man, a demon hunter, but a good man who would make many humans feel ashamed. "

"Oh... this is really flattering evaluation. Sit down, Siegfried. I do know your father. His death is a painful loss for many people in this world who need help. Come on, I invite you today, and you can tell me why you came to Vizima and what happened here recently. I saw a lot of knights and mercenaries coming to Vizima, what is going on? Forte Is Sturt ready to go to war with anyone again?"

Chapter 1405 News of the Flame Rose

Siegfried told Zelin something that surprised him.

After Princess Yada began to take over some of the rights from Foltest, the first thing was to establish a knighthood. The princess has always been known for her maverick and bohemian, at least on this point, she inherited the style of Foltest. When everyone was wondering which king’s heir would be chosen by Princess Yada to become her husband, the princess wore a riding attire and brought a guard into the headquarters of the Vizima City Guards, telling them to approach Vij. The castle in the cemetery of Ma is now owned by her, and all the city guards inside are rolled into the tower barracks near the mayor's hall.

On the second day, people saw that the badge of the city guard was removed in front of the castle gate and replaced by the banner of the Knights of the Flame Rose.

The Knights of the Flame Rose was officially established in Vizima, and began accepting applications for membership.

The conditions are simple. There are five hundred crowns in Novigrad’s bank account, or have war experience, or donate land and property to the Knights, and swear allegiance to Princess Yada. There are already many run-down knights, retired veterans who cannot find jobs, mercenaries who cannot receive entrustment, illegitimate children of nobles, and youngest sons of merchants to Vizima. Many people have discovered that this will be an opportunity, because Foltest has never had a public heir, and no one can threaten Princess Yada’s heir status. This will be a great way to play for the next King of Temaria in advance. Opportunity. The hierarch of Haifam of Eternal Fire also expressed friendship to Princess Yada and gave an expensive gift to the princess's coming-of-age ceremony and donated many equipment to the Knights of the Flame Rose.

"Everyone has squeezed their heads to come here to apply to join the Knights. This continent has not become a new Knights for a while. The world has become bad, and people are scornful of chivalry. You can see knights everywhere in the past. The figure and the story of the knights’ heroes. Today, I only see the figure of a group of robbers wearing knight armor on the street. I hope Princess Yada can regain the glory of the past on this continent and build a real Of the Knights."

"You came to Vizima to join the Knights of the Flame Rose?"

"Yes, sir, my father once said to me that people with chivalry spirit should help each other, let one’s good deeds spread, let people praise him, praise him, and promote more people to follow the same path and good deeds. Should not be hidden. So I came here, hoping to have the honor to swear allegiance to Princess Yada, and in the name of the princess, drive out evildoers and protect good people."

Siegfried is now like a young man who has just left his hometown, with curiosity and anticipation, looking for his most anticipated job. He enthusiastically introduced Zelin to the Knights of the Flame Rose, and he was proud of joining the Knights.

"I think it should take a long time to prepare for the establishment of a knight group." The tavern owner brought them grilled lamb, fresh river fish stewed soup, and there were some seasoned greens floating on it that Zelin didn't recognize. Originally, Zelin asked Virginia if he wanted to try the famous grilled pterodactyl eggs, but Virginia touched her abdomen and tactfully refused. Eating too much meat and eggs would affect her figure.
