The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"I have reminded her not to eat too much, not to drink, before passing through the portal. As a result, she still had a big meal with her friend in Fojian." Francesca was helpless. The voice came. "The transmission of chaotic energy is very unstable, you'd better pay attention."

The demon hunter walked over and patted the dragonborn lightly on the back. Gnaiya raised her head, her livid face forced a smile at him, but then she started to vomit again, almost on Zelin's body. Zelin gently patted her back while looking around. It is dark now, the dense woods blocked most of the moonlight, and the branches swayed slightly with the night wind, like the beast hidden in the night. The muddy ground was covered with fallen leaves, overgrown with weeds, and densely covered with gravel. Zelin quickly recognized where they were, or where they seemed to be.

"The portal has indeed shifted, Enid, but it is not far away. We should be in a place called the Forest of Punishment, very close to the settlement where the portal was opened last time." Zelin squinted slightly. Looking around warily. The night in this world is not as safe as it was in Constantinople. He doesn't know how much has happened in this world after he left, but in any case, be careful. "We didn't find anything else. Did you observe anything unusual?"

"No...no, I said that chaotic energy is difficult to spill into this world. There is only a blur on my observation crystal. Save magic, if you encounter any problems, get in touch with me as soon as possible, understand? ?" There was a trace of worry in the elf's voice. After all, this world is undoubtedly a very unfriendly place for her, and her previous experience here also made her sense of this place very bad. "When you encounter some difficult problems, leave immediately. Come back first, return to a safe place, and then consider coping strategies. Don't take risks."

"I understand." Zelin nodded to Francesca's vision.

"Don't worry, there will be nothing wrong with me." Gnaiya, who seemed to finally vomit the contents of her stomach, sighed long. "Why does this portal become worse and worse after being controlled by you? Is your strength regressing or are you already getting old and can't control your strength?"

"Really? Don't worry, I want to bury my head in the cold river water to help wake up. Next time I will try to make your head sober." Francesca replied blankly.

The Dragonborn unceremoniously made a middle finger.

"Okay, okay, we didn't come here to quarrel through a telescope." Zelin didn't know why, the relationship between the elves and the dragonborn seemed to be good in the past, but they have often quarreled with cynicism recently. He didn't understand the reason, so he could only attribute it to their better relationship, and he could make some innocuous jokes with each other. "We must first determine what place this is. If it is in the Forest of Punishment, we will go to the Youxian Church and have a look. I have a friend in the Youxie Church. I can visit her and ask what happened here recently. ."

If nothing else, Hazel should still be in the secluded church, maybe she has fulfilled her wish and got the talent for studying crystal magic. If this were the case, she would probably go back to the father of Die Punishment Forest, the powerful mage known as the crystalline old man inherited her father's magic.

"It's night on your side?" Francesca asked suddenly.

"Yes, I think it is not surprising that the time of the two worlds is different. After all, when we were in Constantinople, the time there was also different."

"No." Francesca shook her head solemnly. "Last time, I accurately compared the time of the two worlds. They are the same. It stands to reason that this side is daytime, and the other side must be daytime, unless...something can affect time."

"What is it?"

"I don't know." The elf shook his head somewhat discouragedly. There are too many unsolved mysteries in this world for her.

"Then we set off now?" Long Yi stood on a raised rock, rubbed the mud on the sole of the shoe against the stone, showing a disgusting expression. "I hope I can leave as soon as possible. The sooner the better. I don't like this place. The smell here is too bad, and we can't rest in a puddle of mud tonight. You know a church. Let's go over. Resting in a church is better than lying among stones and mud."

"No... I'm afraid it's not that simple." Zelin rubbed the tip of his nose. Gnaiya still doesn't know much about this world. To be precise, her understanding only exists in walking up and fighting a cursed tree, but the danger of this world is by no means limited to this. "Let’s find a place first, then light a fire in a hidden place, and after the night has passed, we will find a way to leave. This black forest is huge, I remember someone once told me that this forest of punishment was once called The Black Forest, the ancient country of magic, Ula Xilu, is located here, but this country perished long ago and was destroyed by a disaster. We should be able to find some broken eaves and broken walls to rest nearby. Although the environment is terrible, at least There is a sturdy stone slab under him, and there is a place to shelter from the wind."

"Well, I listen to you."

Chapter 1409 Returning to Rodland

The wind was very strong at night, and the fallen leaves on the ground were rustling. The wind not only brought the cold, but also the smell of decay that permeated the entire woodland. This is not a dangerous smell of blood, but a disturbing rancid smell. A long time has passed, and it has been several years since he came to this world last time. He didn't know what happened here, but this decaying environment obviously didn't meet Zelin's expectations for the era of exuberant flames.

Siris once told Zelin that she had inherited the identity of grandfather, became the new paladin of the kingdom of twilight, and was running to clear the curse of the undead. The ashes have been awakened and traveled all over the world to pass on the flames. Hillis rarely showed emotions, but Zelin could hear her words in the past, and she hoped that the flames could continue to be passed on and bring the world back on track.

But is this the right track in this world?

Zelin didn't know, but considering the appearance of the people in Losric when he first came here, he could imagine how prosperous the world's society was when the flames flourished.

In the end, they found a place to temporarily shelter from the wind. In the Penalty Forest, they found a damaged second-story ruin. The collapsed gravel almost buried the entrance, and the ceiling that had not completely collapsed was uncomfortable to stay below. Under the blow of the night breeze, they seemed to collapse in the next moment, smashing and hiding underneath to avoid the wind. On the heads of the people, smashed their heads.

Similar ruins can be found everywhere in the penalty forest, but not many can be accommodated. Some were unable to withstand the attacks of the years and collapsed completely into one with nature. Some were destroyed in the later battles. In some places, Zelin could still see the collapsed walls and the incomplete living corpses nearby.

"This is the remains of another world?" Gnaiya was a little disappointed. "I've seen the magnificent city of Losric, and I thought the ruins should all look like that."

"Don't think too much, Gnaiya." Zelin tried to push a wall. After making sure that it would not suddenly fall down and bury them underneath, the demon hunter began to bend down and clear the rubble from the ground. , Sweep away the dust. "The huge ruins represent absolute danger, and there may not necessarily be treasures that match the danger. I know that there is a place in this world called Casas, which is a huge underground ruin, but I heard that there is no People are willing to marry there, even when this world is still normal. There is a prison, a cemetery, and you can’t find anything good except the abominable jailer and corpse skeletons. Okay! That’s it! Naia, go and gather some firewood. I will place some traps nearby."

"I know, I know."

Although Gnaiya is still in the excitement of the beginning of the adventure, Zelin believes that she is not a novice adventurer, she knows when to do what, and will never let her curiosity bring herself trouble. Zelin found a few suitable places and placed the traps transformed into the Foehn bomb in a hidden place that was necessary to get to the resting place. He knew that all in this world were not just normal people, but normal people could also become monsters for various reasons, the most common being living corpses. Zelin would not pin his safety on the possibility of removing all dangerous living corpses after Gwendelin returned to power.

There was a little moss growing in the cracks of the broken stone slabs on the ground. This reminded Zelin that when he first met Heyzer, it was definitely not a friendly meeting. Heyzer regarded him as a threat to his father. The living corpse of the place, and he regarded Hezer as a robber who took advantage of the night. Fortunately, that did not cause bad consequences in the end.

Zelin reformed the trap in all aspects, and he planted a trap connected to the Dragon Dream bomb nearby. This kind of trap will not cause harm to the person who triggered the trap in the first place, but the dark green smoke will block the line of sight and warn the demon hunter. If it is an enemy, Zelin can use Igni's seal to ignite the smoke and dust, causing more serious damage to the enemy, but if it is not an enemy, this will only make the triggered person cough for a while.

He didn't want to be wanted by the knights of this world for setting up camp traps.

At this time, the ears of the demon hunter suddenly caught a slight footstep, and the rustle of falling leaves exposed the whereabouts of the visitors.

"Gnaiya, why are you so fast..."

Then Zelin realized that he was wrong. He first saw a pair of knight boots and then a figure that was tightly wrapped in iron armor. The knight's armor was covered with dust, and the light red cloak was already tattered. This man held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. His boots were already covered with mud in the swamp. The knight's visor blocked his face, Zelin couldn't see the appearance of the visitor, and the sturdy armor even made Zelin unable to tell whether this person was a man or a woman.

The demon hunter slowly stood up and patted the wrinkles on his leather pants.

"Ah, a traveler, isn't it?" He looked at the visitor, trying to find out as much information as possible from the other person's appearance. Not being able to see the other person’s face is not a favorable situation for him. Without observing the expression, it is difficult to judge what the other person’s heart is thinking, and it is also impossible to judge whether the other person’s words are true or false through the eyes. Zelin could only focus his attention on the hand of the person holding the sword as much as possible, so as not to be caught off guard by the opponent's sudden attack.

He will not actively attack people who are not hostile, but he will not expect travelers from all over the world to be the same as himself.

"It's great, I think I might be lost temporarily. Although this is not common to me, I want to ask, is this a forest of punishment?"

The visitor did not speak, but nodded.

Maybe this person is also observing the Demon Hunter, but this is a good sign, which means that the other party can communicate, and there is no hostility for the time being.

"Oh, it’s nice to meet someone who can communicate with you. I’m sorry, I’ve seen too many sane creatures here. Do you know which direction Youxian Church is? I originally wanted to go to Youxian Church, and then Go to Lengxiu Valley with the Youxian Church, but the woodland is too big. It is night again. I can't tell the specific location. If you can tell me the general direction, I thank you very much."

It's a pity that Zelin didn't read any information on the armor. It was very similar to an ordinary Lothric knight armor, but it was certain that it had nothing to do with the Twilight Kingdom where Siris was located. , The knight from Dolan Gureg is okay. From a closer look, the armor looks a bit worn out, and some places are dented. This is a trace of a hammer attack. There are traces of cutting left on the waist. A sword or other sharp weapon must have attacked here and broke through. The defense of the armor. The demon hunter couldn't tell where the knight came from through the armor, but if the armor belonged to the opponent, and not from some hapless knight who died, then this person must have experienced many battles.

The visitor still did not speak, but pointed out a direction.

"Thank you, thank you." Zelin looked at the direction pointed out by the visitor and nodded. "I am Zelin from Lengligu." He stretched out his hand. "It's great to see a friendly face. I hope we can meet again in the future. Ah, since it's a friendly meeting, we should send a meeting gift."

With that said, Zelin took out a bottle of golden pine resin, although this was his last bottle, but thinking that he had already returned here, then the remaining golden pine resin would not be a problem.

"It's not a precious thing, but gifts are not just measured by value, right."

After experiencing many places and even many worlds, Zelin learned one thing, that is, he wants to have a good relationship with someone, or let a person treat your first senses well. Either provide him with help, or send a suitable meeting gift when meeting.

The visitor also stretched out his hand, taking the golden pine resin in one hand, and holding the leather handguard of the demon hunter with the metal knight gloves on the other, and shook it. Although this person still didn't say a word, the demon hunter could feel that the other party seemed to reveal a bit of joy, but the way this person expressed joy made the demon hunter feel a little overwhelmed --- his hand hurts.

Zelin lowered his mouth, and after the opponent retracted his hand, he nodded to the demon hunter, turned and disappeared into the shadow of the forest. The demon hunter shook his hand. He didn't know who the opponent was, but one thing was certain, the opponent's strength was not small.

It didn't take long for Zelin to hear another footstep, this time it was a familiar footstep. After a while, Gnaiya came over with a bunch of branches. Long Yi walked to the corner that was cleared by Ze Lin, let go and threw the wood on the ground. She noticed Ze Lin's strange expression.

"What's wrong?" she asked curiously. Standing on the edge of the ruins, Gnaiya began to bend down, and began to scrape off the silt sticking to the sides of her boots with a branch. "You look like an adventurer who entered the crypt and found that the ghouls in the crypt were alive at the same time. Is it troublesome? Or did you find something?"

"No, I don't think it should be troublesome."

The demon hunter is very strange, the world does not give him a feeling of recovery, but he can meet a traveling knight in the wild. Perhaps this is a warrior who obeyed Gwendelin to clean up the remaining corpses or mutant beasts in the wild. Zelin didn't delve into it, because it doesn't make sense to delve into it. After he meets more people and friends he knows, he will know what changes the world has experienced during the time he has left. He shook his head at Gnaiya and patted the dragonborn on the back.

"It's nothing, just a passerby just passed by. Let's rest. I have set up traps. If there are any intruders, these traps will treat them well."

The first thousand four hundred and ten chapters visit crystal

The first night in another world passed without incident.

There are no traps to be triggered, no weird intruders, and only whirring sounds accompanied them. Gnaiya was very excited the first night she came here. She asked Zelin about everything, and she was very curious and interested in everything in this world. Zelin explained to her that this world may be severely injured by the curse of the undead spreading like a plague, causing many deaths and injuries, while the Dragonborn believes that they can just prevent those unowned treasures from being buried. Compared with Zelin’s vigilance against the living corpses, Gnaiya seemed fearless, because moving corpses were also common in the sky. To be precise, if there was no protection from the priest of Akai, you could even be underground in a city. Find them in the grave.

When he opened his eyes the next day, Zelin subconsciously thought that they had been talking for so long last night that they slept until the next afternoon. But then he discovered that was not the case.

"What is this...?" Gnaiya rubbed Xingsong's sleepy eyes, but the vision in the sky had already made her forget her sleepiness. There is no sun in the sky. To be precise, the black hole surrounded by the twilight halo. It seemed that the world was experiencing a solar eclipse, but Zelin was sure that the solar eclipse would never last that long, and he could not see any signs of the sun recovering. The light was dim, and the whole withered woodland was shrouded in uncomfortable dim light.
