The Journey of the Demon Hunter

They continued to move forward, being attacked by demon spirits from time to time. The road does not look long, but it seems to have been a whole day. Zelin kept recalling everything he saw that day. This battlefield was the one he experienced, but it was not like it. Every battle repeats the past, and every repetition brings a certain kind of deviation, so that today's battlefield becomes completely unrecognizable. Only fighting and more fighting are left.

At a certain moment, the demon hunters realized that the fog in front of them finally became thinner.

Zelin and Zoltan looked at each other and immediately accelerated their pace.

It seemed to have crossed a certain limit. When the Qingliang Mountain wind that was different from the battlefield passed by, the mist suddenly disappeared, suddenly revealing the mountain road covered with blue stones outside Fujian.

"Devil hunter, we..."

"Be careful!"

Zelin raised his hand abruptly, and the runes of the Kunen's seal flashed in the palm of his hand. The moment the Seal of the Shield appeared, five arrows clashed on it, shattering and breaking.

Chapter 1827: Dwarf City in the Mountains

"Stop shooting!"

The shout of an elf appeared on the mountain road. "It's not a demon spirit, don't waste arrows."

"What are you doing?" Zoltan shouted at the mountain road. This is a long and narrow mountain road with a row of archers standing on the left and right sides. It is a good place for ambushes. "We walked through the mist alive, and didn't die in the hands of the demon spirit, and we almost shot into hedgehogs by you!"

"Who knew there could be a dwarf coming out of this mist," the elf wearing a squirrel fur hat shouted. "In the past, only demon spirits came out here. You walked out of the fog, is the fog about to subside? What's going on inside? Recently, this mist is still expanding, and demon spirits run out of it every day. Is this a human? No, a demon hunter? The demon hunter solved the fog?"

"No, it's still very dangerous in the mist. Walking in will kill people." Zelin shook his head. "You said there are demon spirits running out of the fog?"

"Yeah, demon hunter, if it weren't for the female sorcerer Philippa to tell us, you can use the silver arrow to kill the demon spirits here, and the walls of Fujian will be crowded with demon spirits. Come on, you two Well, it's dangerous down there, maybe there are demon spirits following you."

The elves beckoned to them. Zelin and Zoltan walked up the mountain road together. There is a clearing on the hillside with the remains of the burned village remaining in the clearing. There were not only elves but also dwarves in ambush here, sitting in twos by twos around the fire, staring at Zelin and Zoltan who suddenly appeared.

"The demon hunter is here to help us solve the demon spirit?" asked the elf wearing a soft leather hat and a leather jacket. There is no doubt that he is a squirrel party. "I'm Ereias, the commando captain of Eofis. If Eofis knows that there is a demon hunter to help, I will be very happy."

"Eofis also wants to solve the mist of the demon spirit?" Zelin frowned. "I thought this fog could help you block Hensett's pace."

"But the fog is engulfing Fujian. Take a look at the road you are walking on. A week ago, the fog was still at the bottom entrance of the mountain road, but now it is almost reaching the hillside. At this rate, it won’t be long. Fujian is about to become a ghost town in the mist." Ailea sighed. "I accepted the order to stay here, the fog is getting more and more, the sorcerer Philippa is trying to solve it, but she has not told us when the fog can be dispelled."

Zelin glanced at the sun slanting westward in the sky. After stepping out of the fog, everything was normal, whether it was the sun or the sense of direction.

"I think Forten City hasn't closed yet?"

"You can follow this road and walk directly to the gate of Forken. Sheldon Skag is the commander of the gate."

"Yes, it's old Sheldon." Zoltan looked at Zelin. "Do you remember him? We participated in the Battle of Brenner as the Mahakam Volunteers."

"I remember, you were one of the volunteers at the time." Zelin moved his shoulders. Even if it is protected by amulets, it is not easy to go through the fog. He very much hopes to stay in the tavern and relax. Then go nearby to search for traces of the Kingslayer. Zelin doubted whether the Kingslayer had a warlock ally who could summon the mist of demon spirits, but Zelin was certain that no one could cast such a powerful curse in such a remote place. Since there are no other warlocks in the Kodwin camp, Zelin will come here to see Philippa and see what she thinks about it.

With Roche and Geralt looking at the Kodwin camp, Zelin felt relieved. After a failure, it will be very difficult for the Kingslayer to assassinate again.

"Let's go, let's go to Fujian. It's getting late."

Walking up the mountain road, Zelin soon saw the stone pillars and totems left by the dwarves. These ancient remains were already wrapped in weeds and vines, reminding people that it was a colony of dwarves a long time ago. Fujian is an ancient city with a long history in Upper Aden. The main residents here are dwarves, but there are also other non-human races and humans living here. It was one of the earliest mining colonies established by Mahakam. Five hundred years ago, dwarves established such colonies all over the world. At that time, the dwarves were centered on Mahakam. Every time they explored a vein, they would establish a stronghold near the vein. Young dwarves would often join expeditions and set off. Go to the distant mountains to find their glory and wealth.

Except for Fujian, most of them are in ruins due to depletion of mineral veins or human activities. Now Fujian has been transformed from a mining town to a trading center in Aden, where many people of different races trade here. Crossing the border left by the past, in a valley, the towering rock gate and the neatly arranged slabs on the ground told everyone who came that they had come to Fjian.

"It's been a long time since I returned to a place like this."

Zoltan rubbed his hands and looked at the city gate in front of him that had remained standing in the years. "Humans can't live in houses in the mountains. They have built a lot of wooden houses, but if you want me to say, sleeping on a stone bed is the most stable."

Fujian is located in a valley, and its walls are very narrow, requiring only a few soldiers to block an army outside. There are many shooting platforms on the valleys on the left and right sides. Only through the tunnels in the city can you reach the top of the platform. On there, the heavy crossbowmen of the dwarves can pinch the enemy forces crowded in the valley from the left and right sides to besiege the city. Two opposing stone pillars are erected on both sides of the passage in front of the city gate. Each stone pillar is carved with the history of the city in dwarven language. On the cliff above the passage, the excavated grotto can be vaguely seen from the inside of the mountain range. The red light of the lava flowing out.

"This is what we use to defend the city." Zoltan explained. "There is such an institution in front of every important dwarf city. Have you seen those face sculptures?"

"Statue?"

Zelin looked in the direction Zoltan pointed. On the stone walls on both sides of the tunnel in front of the gate, there is a stone sculpture of a dwarf head between every two stone pillars.

"Just by turning the mechanism, these statues will spit out lava and kill all the soldiers besieging the city wall. Don't ask me how this is designed, only the architect in Carbon Mountain knows how to draw the lava out of the mountain. "Zoltan waved his hand. "If the elves lived in the mountains like us and had such defenses, it would be impossible for humans to drive them to the forest so quickly. You see, this place has been attacked many times, but thousands of years have passed. It's still in the hands of the dwarves. I dare say that if Hensett dared to attack this time, his army would also be smashed in the head in front of Fojian."

"What are you two muttering in front of the city gate?" A dwarf in a red dress with a twisted beard came over, glanced at Zelin, and then set his gaze on Zoltan. "If it weren't for the stinky face that I knew you, and the fog was blocking it, I would almost have the guards arrest you all."

"You old boy just became a commander, and you're about to start arrogant? Sheldon Skager, if I hadn't cut a man in black for you in Brenner, you would have become a bone by now. "

"Speaking as if I didn't help you cut people."

The two dwarves paused, then laughed.

"Well, now Zoltan Ziva has finally decided to come to Fjian? I'll tell you that Fjian will be a good place for our dwarves to live, but also away from the orders of the old man Hogg." Sheldon He patted Zoltan **** the shoulder. "Who is this person next to you? You brought a human over here? God, we have enough humans here. This is a dwarf city. As a result, the number of humans living in wooden houses now exceeds us. "

"This is not a human being, this is the Demon Hunter, Demon Hunter Zelin." Zoltan said. "He is a very powerful demon hunter. He and I just came through the fog outside."

"You never have to write drafts, Zoltan, through the fog outside? Are you crazy." Sheldon shrugged. "Anyway, it's very rare to be willing to come to Fojian at this time. Everyone is scared to pee by Hensett's army. If you have anything, go to the dragon slayer, what Saqiya said It works best. Both humans and elves listen to her, and she is also very good to dwarves."

"Saqiya is still here, right? Where is she now?" Zelin asked.

If he wants to find the king killer, he must meet Saqiya, she is the commander here and the only commander of Prince Sdennis. From the perspective of the fog, the Kingslayer may also want to solve this prince who may reintegrate the Kingdom of Aden.

"She may be in the Three Fathers' Castle, yes, it is the fortress in the mountains. It turned out to be our chamber, but when the humans came, it became their fortress and meeting room." Sheldon scratched his ears, and then Flick off the earwax on your fingers. "What are you looking for to discuss with her? Then come with me first. They said that they will have a meeting in the Three Fathers' Castle. Those human nobles and princes have all gone. Outside are all guards. If you go by, they Will treat you as an assassin. Follow me and I can take you in. Ah, if it weren't for Zoltan, I wouldn't take you there at this time."

"The demon hunter has very important things." Zoltan said to Zelin. "Take him first. I'll go find our old friend. I heard that Alpin is also here."

"Yes, the old **** should still be giggling at the maid's **** in the tavern now. Hurry over, order a good drink, and I will go to you in a while, we have to have a good drink, and then we will decide the outcome. "Speaking, Sheldon called on Zelin. "Come with me, demon hunter, don't leave, there are so many people there, it's like an ant nest that has been picked up."

ps: Yesterday’s PS made a mistake. It was Rains, the magician who worked for Wigwarts, not Regis.

The first thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight chapters meet Philippa again

Fujian is not just a city wall.

Passing through the city gate of Frogen is a half-curved street. This is Frogen's market. Both sides of the street are filled with various goods and merchants from different places. Dwarves, elves, and humans hawk their goods. The herbs collected in the mountains, the fur of the prey in the forest outside, Zelin even accidentally saw a female warlock sitting behind the grocery stall, reading and studying, with a pair of scissors next to him, and a wooden board beside it. Provide haircut service. She looks like a young apprentice, she may not have graduated yet, because her face has no traces of magical plastic surgery, she is not as perfect as other female warlocks, and there are some freckles on her nose. As if feeling a person with chaotic magic power walking by, the apprentice raised his head, lifted the hair on his forehead, and grinned at the demon hunter.

Zelin felt a slight sting in his eyes.

Regarding this, the Demon Hunter felt a little nostalgic and sighed. This reminded him of what he was like when he had just learned the seal, he kept making signs of runes, watching the flames come out of his hands, or blow something away with air currents. Young people who have just acquired supernatural power are always excited to use their power to do things that they could not even think of before. For example, every warlock can't resist the temptation to use mind reading.

It is not a good habit to read other people's thoughts at will.

Zelin thought in his mind.

The apprentice first opened his eyes wide in surprise. He didn't expect that his little trick would be discovered. Then, like a student who had found a mistake, his cheeks became red and his eyes dropped. Zelin smiled at her, speeded up his pace, followed Sheldon, and walked towards the third father's castle.

Passing through this arc-shaped commercial street, there is another high wall, and the heavy metal gate opens to the sides. This is Fujian's second defense. Even if the attackers finally broke through the city gate with all their hardships, they will soon find that they are stuck in the narrow passage between the two city walls. Crossbowmen can arbitrarily pour a rain of arrows at them. But the only damage on the door was rust, and no attacker could come here. And behind this city wall is the residential area of ​​the city.

The houses of the dwarves are built in caves dug out of the rock walls. On the cliffs, only countless stairs and gathering places connected by stairs can be seen. The rocks are full of red doors or more decorative carvings. The houses here are all in the mountains, and only the door will be exposed. Just like humans like a gorgeous big house, what the dwarves like most is to decorate their facades beautifully.

But among the many dwarven houses, there are more simple wooden houses. Just a simple house built of wood, or a wooden box, can only allow one person to lie down, and it is no better than a coffin. This basically belongs to the human refugees who fled to Forge to escape the war. Most of them live on the edge of the city, near the mine. And in the only level clearing at the entrance of the city, many tents were erected, and some soldiers wearing Fjian's shirt guarded nearby.

"That's the army of Prince Sdennis." Sheldon said as he looked at the human camp. "If you go further to the south of the city, you will see the camp of Saqiya followers. God, if the two groups of humans can one day not quarrel, I will throw away the axe and go into the mine, because of good luck. I’m sure to bless me to find the biggest gem ever made in Frugin. I bet my salary last month that if there is no Hunset army outside the city, the humans here will cut each other’s throats in the next moment."
