Journey to Infinity from the Witcher

Chapter 152 New journey, terror and malice

"Willenstown!"

After Ye Feni finished speaking, the four of them were a little surprised. A few people in Wellens Town were somewhat familiar, after all, they had stayed there for several days before.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems a bit natural. After all, Wellens Town is the closest human town to the Dathrasl Forest.

Necromancers are humans too, no, I don’t know if necromancers can be considered humans anymore.

But as long as we are flesh and blood creatures, it is inevitable that we need to eat to replenish energy.

"Wellens Town is still in the north. I'm still worried that the undead wizard has gone to the south..."

Xina said excitedly while drinking porridge with dried vegetables, wild boar and fresh meat.

Sheena has reason to be excited, although her travels as a witcher have tempered her perseverance.

But at her age, it's not surprising that she is active, not to mention that Xina's personality is somewhat outgoing and lively.

It is completely impossible to expect Xina to be as steady as an old dog when encountering such a big event.

"Went to Wellens Town... Then the necromancer wouldn't use that place as a target to spread the plague, right?"

Geralt said in a deep voice.

His worries are not without reason. The things that necromancers like to do most are naturally creating plagues, harvesting souls, and bringing disasters wherever they go. They are called moving humanoid natural disasters.

In the past, events recorded about necromancers in the world were almost always accompanied by plague disasters that resulted in a large number of deaths, and only then did the name of the necromancer come out.

Think about it, in the past six months or so, strange plague tragedy broke out in two villages in Forovdo town, and then there was the plague tragedy in Kolubel village.

Before these two places, there were similar plague tragedies in villages surrounding the southern big city of Sri Lanka.

Isn't it very similar to the signs of the appearance of necromancers in historical records?

It's just that this world is too big, the communication methods are extremely underdeveloped, and there are frictions and wars between the southern empire and the northern kingdoms.

If Eveni had not noticed the signs of the necromancer, or if more plagues occurred, it would have been difficult for the northern countries to think of the necromancer.

After all, the plague broke out in a few villages, which was nothing compared to the entire six northern kingdoms.

If the necromancer can be successfully eliminated this time, the first discoverer Yeffney and the sorceress alliance that actively promoted the development of the incident will definitely take the greatest credit.

"No, it shouldn't be possible."

"The best place for a necromancer to start is in ordinary rural villages. The guards there are weak and the area is small, which is very conducive to the spread of the plague and the control of the dead skeletons and zombies, and then continue to attack the next village."

"Generally large towns are not that easy to deal with because they have town guards and troops to suppress them."

"What's more, Wellens Town is the most important military town and the northern bridgehead of the Kingdom of St. Fidel besides the royal capital "St. Fidels City"."

"The military force stationed in such an important town is far beyond what ordinary towns can match. Once something happens, it can be suppressed quickly."

"As long as the necromancer's brain is not corroded by the dark negative energy, he will never dare to do this."

Eveni shook her head and said.

Hearing what Yevni said, Geraltrea and the others could not help but feel slightly relieved.

If the necromancer could really capture and destroy the entire town of Wellens, they would have to face attacks from countless skeletons and zombies in a large town when they went to deal with the necromancer. It was scary just thinking about it.

Therefore, finding and killing the necromancer before he creates cannon fodder is naturally the best opportunity.

"Yevni, besides you, how many people know this news?"

Gordon suddenly asked.

"The news arrived yesterday, I was the first to know."

"There are not many people who know about it at the moment, only four or five, and they are all responsible for investigating the undead wizard incident."

"But this matter is too important. Although the news will not be announced to the outside world, it cannot be hidden within the alliance. Many people are interested in this task."

"Perhaps it won't be long before the news spreads throughout the members of the Sorceresses' Alliance, and then spreads to the outside world."

"But now, we are definitely the first ones to know."

Eveni replied.

"Then we can't wait any longer and leave for Wellens Town as soon as possible!"

"The traces of the necromancer are exposed, and there will definitely be a large number of people flocking to Willens who are eager for the mission."

Gordon said in a deep voice.

He was a little worried, what if the necromancer was Nicholas Nelson, the "plague maker" that the system wanted to kill, and was killed by someone else first.

I don’t know if the system will count it as completing the task. If it counts, it’s okay. If it doesn’t, it’s really over.

Therefore, the best way is definitely to kill it yourself.

"I also agree to leave as soon as possible. The sky-high commission will spread the reputation of the whole world. No one with strength can resist such a task!"

Geralt nodded.

"Then let's go back to Santa Fidels City after eating?"

Xina picked up the pot and spoon, added another bowl, and said immediately.

"Go back to Santa Fidels City?"

"Of course I won't go back. Why would we go back if we are in a hurry? Anyway, we have basically brought everything with us, so it wouldn't be a pity to lose the deposit."

"We'll go straight to Wellens Town, what do you think?"

Gordon said and asked how many people were there.

"The road after the snowstorm is difficult. If we go back to Santa Fidels City, it will take two days."

"Although we don't have a lot of dry food and wine, we can definitely hunt while we rest on the road to get through it, and we can resupply it when we get to the next town or village!"

"Besides, we can save several days of traveling by walking directly from here."

Geralt nodded and said solemnly.

"Yevni, you have brought everything with you. Do you still want to go to the city of St. Fidels?"

Gordon suddenly asked Yevni.

When Gordon asked, several people looked over.

Indeed, Gordon and the four of them have no specific tasks and can leave at any time.

Eveni is different. She is considered a high-ranking member of the Sorceresses Union and is the main person in charge of investigating the undead wizard this time.

There is really no choice for the few people who want to go back. They have to go back together. They can't leave Yevni behind.

"No, I already told you when I came."

Eveni shook her head and said.

Not only did she explain her affairs in the Warlock Alliance, but she was almost ready to get pregnant.

Yevni has been thinking about this matter for more than a day or two.

It's just that she hasn't been able to meet the right one, which is why she chooses a man very carefully.

Hearing what Eveni said, several people breathed a sigh of relief.

You can leave directly.

"Yevni, have you sent a message to Tesili?"

"She won't be able to keep up when we leave, and I'm afraid she won't be able to keep up when we come back."

Gordon continued to ask.

"Unfortunately, as soon as I sent a message to Tesili, the investigation team of the Das Rasl Forest sent a message back. Tesili couldn't find us even if she rushed back to Santa Fedels City.

"

Eveni shook her head and said.

"There's nothing we can do about it. She will understand us when she finds out."

Geralt spoke up and said that he was a Tesili man. In terms of relationship with Tesili, he was the best at the moment and he was the only one who spoke.

"That's no problem. Let's set off as soon as we finish eating."

"Thank you Yevni for coming in time, otherwise the heads of the monsters we killed would stink if placed in the space of my ring..."

Gordon laughed.

Everyone knew what Gordon meant and laughed.

Yevni was really going to be late, and they entered the village of Korubel. They were reluctant to throw away the monsters they killed, and there was no time to exchange them for commissions. At that time, they could only put them in the Gordon Space Ring.

"Fortunately, Gordon, you have the dimensional magic ring. It's much easier for us to travel now."

Geralt smiled.

Indeed, since Gordon got the space ring, the group of people put everything into Gordon's ring.

Monster corpses, heads, leftover animals, packages, etc.

Gordon himself enjoyed it even more, even bringing pots and bowls with him.

"It's good to know. Look, I'm cooking delicious food from my hometown for you to eat. Shouldn't you consciously pay me some labor fees!"

Gordon said seriously.

"There is no labor fee, I can buy you a drink."

Geralt smiled.

"Neither do I, but I can help you wash the dishes, Gordon. I will take care of all the pots and pans from now on!"

Seeing Gordon looking over, Xina quickly protected the bowl in her hand and said.

Xina was very understanding, and Gordon continued to look at Leia.

"I, I, I will never compete with you for your sister at night again..."

Leia looked left and right to do something for Gordon but found that she couldn't do anything. When she saw her sister Yevni, she immediately blurted out.

Gordon has already been recognized by Leia, and she has nothing to compete with Gordon.

"Ha ha..."

Geralt and Xena laughed immediately, and even Yevny laughed.

"Okay, this can be considered as your labor fee."

Gordon rolled his eyes and said speechlessly.

Half an hour later, a pot of dried vegetables, giant wild boar porridge was eaten up.

Sheena ate the most, followed closely by Leia.

On the other hand, Eveni didn't eat much. She had been traveling all day and all night and had no appetite.

Soon, the group continued on the road.

It's just that this time he is not going to the village of Corubel, nor to the city of Santa Fidels, but to turning around and heading towards the town of Wellens, which is countless miles away.

This time we set out with few supplies and insufficient preparations, but there was nothing to worry about.

"We are here now. Going in this direction, the nearest town, Halder Town, should only be about nine days away..."

Riding on horses, a group of people stood on the snow. Geralt was showing a few people the detailed map in his hand.

"With the dry food we have now, plus the giant wild boar, we can probably last about four days."

"It's not a problem if we're short of food. Just spend some time hunting during the break."

"It's just a bit troublesome because I don't have enough wine. I'll just have to endure it for now. Anyway, it won't be long. If the weather is good, I can arrive at Halder Town earlier..."

"That's it, let's go..."

The group finished their brief discussion and soon headed in an unfamiliar direction.

After the blizzard, the wilderness was filled with white snow and a vast expanse. The five-person team walked on the ice and snow in the wilderness, gradually getting further and further away.

Five days later.

"call..."

The cold wind howled and the snow fell heavily.

Winter in the north is extremely long and cold.

A few days ago, it was the second day after the snowstorm that Gordon and his party encountered in the village of Kolubel.

The wind and snow only stopped for a day and a half before heavy snow fell in the sky again.

The last snowstorm was huge and affected a wide area.

The five Gordons walked for five days in a row, but they still couldn't get out of the scope of the blizzard.

The result of this is that the speed of the five people is slower than previously expected.

There was no other way. The riding speed was too slow in the half-deep snow, so we might as well dismount and lead him.

Moreover, several people missed an important thing last time, that is, the horses did not eat much dry food, which was equivalent to the food they brought before, and it was only enough for four or five days.

Just yesterday, the horse's dry food was almost finished.

In this way, the five people not only have to provide food for themselves, but also provide food for the five horses.

Simply tethering it to the side at night and letting the horse graze on its own can only give it a half-full meal.

It's okay to let the horse walk on its own, but it's definitely not enough to run, let alone carry people.

"Let's rest in the forest in front today!"

"Several of the horses looked like they had swallowed. They looked like they were almost starving."

"We need to find some food for the horses..."

Geralt pointed to a large green forest in front of him and turned around and said.

"Just over there, we need to feed the horses. The snow is not that thick anymore, so we need the horses to run tomorrow."

Gordon pulled off the gauze wrapped around his mouth and nodded.

Naturally, the three of them, Evny Xinareya, had no objections. It had always been Gordon and Geralt who made the decisions, and the two of them did the tiring work such as hunting.

An hour later, the five people arrived at this lush forest.

There is no such thing as a saying or concept about protecting forests in this world.

Almost all woods and forests encountered in the wild are primitive jungles.

Finding a good spot not far from the edge of the forest, Evni Xinalea and the other three were busy organizing the resting place, preparing to collect firewood and light a fire.

Gordon and Geralt did not participate. After tying their horses, they prepared to walk deep into the forest with small crossbows in hand.

There is not enough food for several people, and there is not enough food for several horses.

In the past two days, I only saw small woods on the road and didn't catch any big prey.

Today we finally encountered a big forest, so naturally we had to hunt a lot.

There was also food for several horses, something Gordon didn't understand.

Fortunately, Geralt has a lot of experience and knows how to get something good for the horse in the wild.

Horses don’t eat meat, so the only things that can quickly replenish nutritional energy for horses are eggs and honey.

When hunting in the forest, you have to go out of your way to find something for the horse to eat. This time the two of them are going to have a big fight.

After bidding farewell to Evonne and the others, Gordon and Geralt walked towards the depths of the forest with a sword in one hand and a crossbow in the other.

The long sword opened the way, the bow and crossbow hunted, and the two of them cooperated more and more tacitly.

The night in the primeval forest is extremely dangerous.

However, both the three Evonne and Gordon Geralt who stayed in the camp have enough ability to protect themselves, so there is no need to worry.

Gordon and Geralt left in the dark.

In the edge camp, Evny Xina Leiya and the other three were chatting around the fire.

At this moment, Xina suddenly turned around and looked into the darkness behind her.

Almost at the same time, Yevney and Leia immediately stood up and turned to look into the darkness.

"Xina what did you see?"

"I didn't see it, what about you?"

"No..."

"Could it be an illusion?"

"No way..."

"Please pay attention, something should be watching us..."

The firelight dimmed, and the three of them continued to sit and chat.

In the distance, in the darkness, a shadow was staring at the three people next to the fire.
