The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Stop playing puzzles, Lisa Riel, I don't know anything about puzzles."

"Be patient, Ranger. Oh, you're also a Northern Ranger, aren't you?" Lisa Riel suddenly turned her head, her fine braids fluttered like a skirt. "Some people say that your life can last for hundreds of years. How does it feel to live so long? Are you tired? Or it will be easy. Do you have a lot of time to do what you want to do?"

"Tough and difficult longevity and comfortable short life, who can say which one is better. I don't know how it feels. It may be no different from ordinary people. Every day I live, I will always find trouble by myself. If we are facing Mordor at this moment, it will not be because of us that the life span is longer, the evil forces will bypass him." Zelin carefully looked at the tree hole, this is not like a naturally formed place. "Where is Kanan?"

Lisa Riel turned and waved, motioning Zelin to follow.

When the corner of the tree hole disappeared, the demon hunter found himself in a narrow clearing. Very narrow, with the stiff vines at the top rubbing the tips of his hair, and he would touch his forehead as long as he raised his head. And inside the clearing, there is a narrower tree hole, like a chamber for some kind of organ. Lisa Riel stopped in front of the tree hole, and Zelin stopped.

"It's here..." She paused and cleared her throat. "Or, she is here. I don't know why she wants to see you, but we can survive in the forest thanks to her."

"Who?"

"The ghost of Kanan is a tree and a beast. It is a fang, it is a claw, it is a root, it is a spear. It is the forest, and it is me."

The mute and old echoes in the tree hole said word by word, and with a slight shaking, a figure over three meters tall appeared inside the tree hole, and the projected shadow fell beside Lisa Riel.

"This flesh and blood body is different." Like an old woman, the emerald green figure walked out step by step, and finally stood in front of the demon hunter. "Where are your roots? Your sprout, will you grow? Will you wither? No, no, your roots do not belong to this land, and your voice does not belong to this song. No, your behavior awakens in advance The fire is igniting the fire, but I don't know it is burning. The call sign of the forest, the scream of the river, the Dark Lord opened his eyes, he lit the flame and built a cage, like a firewood to attract the flames. This is because of your noise."

Looking at the creatures that came out, the demon hunter immediately thought of the tree beard he saw in the Fargon Forest.

The body of more than three meters is covered with clothes made of vines, like a human dress, combined with the body of the tree, people can't help but suspect that this should be something that grows together. This may be clothes, or it may be. Its epidermis. In the place where the head should be, there is a soft but rock-like female face, which makes the angular trees and vines on both sides of its cheeks look like a helmet worn on its forehead. The tree man's hand rested on the rhizome beside him, and the fingers of the soft tree vines clung to it, bending into a strange arc. Those yellow-brown eyes stared at the demon hunter, and Zelin's reflection was reflected in the clear pupils. Inside, he saw doubt, anger, worry and vigilance.

"Are you...Ente?" Zelin asked cautiously.

"I said who I am." Kanan's ghost has a half-second interval between each pronunciation, as if speaking in a language she is not familiar with. "But you, your actions, the stupid flesh and blood will awaken Taggolos, burn you, burn us, a flame that burns all things. The ring-caster's forge echoes endlessly, the earth crackles, and the cold metal ring calls fire. Flames."

"The Ring Caster? Wait, I think there may be some misunderstanding." Zelin raised his hand. "You may have found the wrong person, that's Celebrity..."

"Stop all the noise!"

Kanan bent forward abruptly, staring into the eyes of the demon hunter less than half a meter away. Zelin smelled a scent of tree bark.

"The ring caster caused panic and confrontation. You are fueling the flames in the fire, and the flames in the abyss are about to appear." Kanan's ghost slowly lifted his body, and the wind rolled in the tree cave. "Tagros, someone is awakening it, and its flames are rolling in the lava."

"Tagolos?" Zelin looked at Lisa Riel, who showed helpless eyes.

She didn't know either.

"The sleeping Balrog under the Doomsday Volcano." Kanan's voice was filled with fear. "Otherwise, it will rise from the shadows under the Doomsday Volcano, and soon all of you will fight to death."

Balrog?

Zelin didn't understand the Balrog, in his impression, there were not many monsters in this world. This idea until it enters Mordor.

"Stop the summoner, stop the sound of tearing the earth." Kanan ghost's fingers were unconsciously entangled and entangled with each other. "This is something you have to do before Tagross wakes up."

The demon hunter was sure that it was not a treant standing in front of him, perhaps, just like her name, it was the consciousness displayed by Kanan Forest itself. This is like a kind of curse, the soul born from the curse controls the area that binds it. But this sounds too incredible. A forest will form a consciousness that can move on its own. If this happens in the world of the demon hunter, he believes that humans are still active near the beach where they just landed hundreds of years ago.

"Well, if it is because I dealt with the orcs, I apologize, and, the Tagros you mentioned, he is still asleep? Where is he? Doomsday Volcano? Well, maybe I might reach the end. Go to the volcano because I promised a friend of mine. But before that, I might have to go first..."

"You have to go to Gogolos!" Kanan suddenly raised her volume, and then suddenly lowered her voice. Her mood was as weird and uncertain as the weather on the sea. "The creatures of flesh and blood come to the forest. What you have done caused all this. There is anger in the abyss of Gogolos. But the earth will suppress its flames, the wind will extinguish its flames, and the beasts will carry you away. Until before the flames."

The woodland rustled nearby.

"Well, don't be angry, I didn't say no to agree." Zelin waved his hand. "If the flame demon you are talking about is a creature summoned by the Dark Lord, then I will deal with it sooner or later. If you can help, I will naturally face it in advance."

The rustling of the woodland disappeared.

Kanan slowly backed away.

"Time is running out, withered." The shadow in the tree hole gradually swallowed her figure: "You will arrive like the wind, suppressing it before the flame burns, and the flame of the ring-caster..."

"The flame of the ring-caster? What do you mean?" Zelin raised his eyebrows: "You just said the ring-caster, you know Celebrity? What happened to him?"

But the only thing that responded to him was the whispering wind whispering in his ears.

"She probably meant that you should go to Gogolos as soon as possible, to the vicinity of Doomsday Volcano." Lisa Riel shrugged while looking at the direction of Kanan's disappearance. "This forest will never give help to outsiders for no reason. I'm sorry, Ranger, you saved us, but you still want you to help repay Kanan's kindness. Waiting for my mother to bring others safely to Gondor and settle down. After coming down, we all owe you a favor, no, not just one. I don’t know if we can pay off your help. However, as long as you have any needs, just come to us and we will try our best to repay you."

"It's still too early to repay me." Zelin sighed. Eventually, the activity had been tilting his head on his neck, which was a little sour. "It's okay, Lisa Riel, don't think about these things now. If there is really a powerful enemy who is about to be awakened without Kanan's reminder, I will also stop the summoner. Your people will leave soon, you Well, Lisa Riel? Where are you going? If you want to deal with Sauron, you can go to Tarion. He has some helpers in Udon and Sirius Ang, and he needs more When you can help."

"No, I said, Kanan's ghost is not a generous master." Lisa Riel shook her head. "Her beasts and forest helped my people survive this month, strangling several orc squads and invaders, and she needs someone who can guard this forest. Probably...I don't understand her words, but According to my agreement with her, I will stay here for twenty-five years, because we have accepted asylum for twenty-five days here."

"What?!"

"But I don't think Kanan will make me unable to wield the sword because of my age in twenty years." The female warrior said calmly. "If fighting against the Dark Lord’s creation here can delay his expansion, I think it’s good for my tribe. I can’t go to Gregros to help you, because recently there seem to be many orcs who want to fight Let’s start with this forest, but if you need help in Mordor next, please don’t hesitate to come to me and I will try my best to help you."

The first thousand seven hundred and forty-nine chapters are done

Regarding Lisa Riel's experience, Zelin didn't know what to say.

It is now 2994, and after twenty-five years is 3019, maybe she will stay in the dangerous Mordor as agreed and stay in the Kanan Forest until the agreement expires. This sounds very strange. Why do people in Middle-earth like to use contracts to solve problems? When Bilbo was recruited into the Lonely Mountain Expedition, he also signed a contract with Thorin, and even wrote in the end that he should fail. Who will bear the funeral expenses. But Kanan must have told Lisa Riel some other things, otherwise the female warrior would not suddenly ask about the lifespan and life of the demon hunter.

When Zelin stepped out of the towering giant tree, several strands of emerald green smoke emerged from the woodland, as if attracted to a point by something, and gathered together with the broken green leaves, and gradually condensed and outlined one. The outline of the wild beast.

The wind brought Kanan's whisper.

"It will drive you to Gogolos."

"I want to say goodbye to my friend first."

"There is not much time."

"I think we still have two minutes, or you can run faster on the road."

The tree-brown wild beast leaned down, and let out a low growl in its throat. But it didn't spread over it, but slowly backed up a few steps, and disappeared into the air as a cloud of smoke.

"Hurry up."

Zelin exhaled dissatisfiedly and turned and walked towards the place where the Nords had gathered before. In Mordor, perhaps the position is not as distinct from the outside. But whether it's Kanan or the freak, they all have the same goal in a sense, and that's enough.

Marvin had assembled the Norns, and several rangers appeared among them, telling the guards the next way and direction. The queen stood on the edge of the camp with her cane, her back to the crowd, sadly looking at the towering tree, she didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't even notice when the demon hunter approached.

"Do you know about Lisa Riel?" Zelin asked in a low voice.

"I know." Marvin's tight lips squirmed, raised his hand, and wiped the corner of his eye with his sleeve. "I thought we could finally leave Mordor alive and start a new life in a safe place, but we always leave regrets. From when I found her on a raiding ship, Lisa Riel I have been by my side for 20 years. She has always been talented and can win the respect of others. I have no husband or children, so I adopted her as my daughter and appointed her as my sole heir. I think After Gondor, in a few years, let her become the new patriarch, and she will lead us Norn back to the prosperous past."

"I'm sorry, I should help you find a more suitable shelter instead of Kanan Forest."

"No, if it weren't for the Kanan Forest, we would have been wiped out by the orcs twenty days ago. You have nothing to blame, Ranger." Marvin said gratefully. "I just hope that it would be better if I was the one who stayed. The Norns owe you a life, and we can't repay it, but I want to ask you shamelessly."

"It's okay, you may not know, I have spent almost my entire life in endless commissions, and I may continue to do so in the future. At least you will remember me, thank me, you will want to repay me, be able to watch When good people like you live, I’m already very happy. Well, let the bad people in the world disappear, and more good people live, the world will become better, and my living environment will be better. I Always think so." Zelin smiled on his face. "Go ahead, if I can, I will help."

"Will you stay in Mordor against the Dark Lord?"

"I'm afraid it won't be too long." Zelin shook his head. "I may return to the north after a while. This period may be two months, maybe two weeks, or even two or three days, depending on Mordor's situation."

Altariel said that she and Celebrity could destroy Sauron with the help of the Lord of the Rings. If it can be done, maybe Mordor will no longer be a dangerous place. At that time, Lisari will not have any problems staying in the Kanan Forest.
