The Journey of the Demon Hunter

The first thousand eight hundred and fifty chapters clues to another letter

"Oh, maybe the warlock who worked for Hunsett found a way, but it's even worse, because it means they have given up on us and threw us here to fend for themselves." Adam waved his hand. Facing Zelin's puzzled gaze, he explained. "Before the fog appeared, Hensett sent us here to find out if there is a trail that can bypass the plain. As a result, just after walking here, there suddenly appeared fog, solar eclipse, and comets. We were desperate. I escaped here, but I encountered a troll again. I have already lost two people."

He glanced at the soldier who smashed his head on the stone.

"There are three now."

"Did Hensett also send soldiers to the canyon on the other side?"

"Yes, did you see them?"

"I saw it, it's just a corpse." Zelin wiped the blood off the sword and put it in its sheath. "They died of the human-faced monster bird. There are such monsters everywhere in that canyon."

"Human-faced monster bird? Oh, let me say, this is not a place for humans to live, why did Hensett go to war for this place. You helped me and my brother, I am very grateful to you, Demon Hunter. You Friends of the Freedom Army, can I know your names?"

"Geralt."

"Oh, I've heard your story, Master Dandrien said that you even killed a dragon by yourself. Well, I regret that I directly ordered the attack at the time. You must deal with these trolls." Adam Look at Zelin. "How about you, sir?"

"Zelin."

"Wait, have you been to Brenner's battlefield? I heard Dr. Milo talk about you."

"I've been there, although I haven't been on the battlefield." Zelin raised his eyebrows. "Wait, you are the offender Adam of the Liberty Legion?"

"Is there a second Adam Pangrat in this world?" the mercenary leader asked, he stretched out his fist and clenched it firmly. "Of course there is only one Adam Pangrat in the world, who led the Freedom Army to kill nearly 10,000 black dog's offers in the Second World War. We were at the Battle of Maribo that year, and we resolved 3,000 invasions in the first battle. Even if someone wants to pretend to be me, think about whether he dare to report the reputation, those invaders hate me to death."

"Hensett hired the Liberty Corps to attack Fagan?"

Zelin knew their record. The Liberty Corps was the first to receive funding from the Kingdom of Cowell to be established. His predecessor was the Battle of Brahe where Cowell was founded. It was a regiment composed of 25,000 retired veterans and professional mercenaries from all over the country. , Defeated the coalition forces of Kodwin and Redania. The king of Kerviel earned unimaginable wealth through maritime commercial activities, and used this wealth to sign contracts with professional military personnel from all over the world. Although the Liberty Legion is a mercenary, it will accept commissions from other places, but once Corvel encounters a war, according to the contract, they will immediately return to Corvel to serve for the King of Corvel. This is why there are not many farmers and soldiers in Kerviel, but they can maintain permanent neutrality. Compared with other kingdoms who are recruited farmers led by knights, these soldiers who have signed contracts with the king have better combat effectiveness.

Of course, the real Liberty Corps was established on the eve of the Second World War. It participated in the Battle of Maribo and the Battle of Brenner, as well as large and small battles in Tamoria, Adam Pangrat and Julia Abate. Mark and Juan Gutierrez are its leaders. However, Juan, known as Frontino, was killed in the Battle of Brenner, and now only Yadiu and Mei Mao are left. In fact, if it were not for the Freedom Corps, the soldiers of Tamoria would not be able to hold on to the arrival of reinforcements from various countries under the onslaught of the Imperial Corps alone.

"No, he can't afford the money." Adam sipped. "He didn't have much money in his pocket. He wanted to hire a scout team, but he couldn't even afford the advance payment. I originally wanted to sign a contract with him, but he said that signing the contract is to question his dignity and credibility as a royal family. As a result, now We are trapped in this broken place, with Fojian at the front, mist at the back, and various cannibals in the middle. But anyway, you helped us. If you need anything, just tell me. I will help you."

"I have a proposal, I don't know if you are willing to consider it."

"Listen thoroughly."

"I suggest you surrender to Saqiya."

"Why? This is really new to me."

"Hensett asked you to investigate the road, but he neither signed a contract with you, nor paid you a deposit, nor was it possible to guarantee that you would get a reasonable remuneration. He just appointed you with a verbal promise. You didn't have any. The obligation to fight for Hensett, and now he can’t pay you bonuses. You are trapped in the wild mountains full of monsters, and you are running out of ammunition and food. So, why not join the Dragon Slayer? She will be happy to fight with you. The well-known Yadiu signed a contract, and you can prove your strength in this battle again, and you have nothing to do with Hensett's contract and will not affect your credibility."

"Hmm..." Adam touched his chin, thinking.

"Go to Cecil, he is the dwarf mayor of Forge. He will treat you fairly, prepare supplies and arrange a place to rest for you. Moreover, your wounded are in urgent need of treatment and continue to stay in the wild. The wound will be infected. There is no need to kill your soldiers for someone who is unwilling to sign a contract with you."

"Hmm..."

Adam looked back at the soldier behind him and sighed.

"Have you heard? Let's go meet the dragon slayer. The demon hunter claims that we can gather the injured people safely and without delay, and go quickly. Take the corpse and they deserve a decent funeral. Instead of feeding birds in a barren mountain."

Before leaving, Adam said to Zelin. "When I was in Hensett’s barracks, I heard that King Hensett and the Nilfgadites were walking very close. Now Nilfgad’s mission is still in his camp. If you want to go. , When you lift the curse for him, be careful. I really doubt if the dog in black gave Hensett an idea to send us here. There is no safe passage outside of Fujian. He is like a Like a real king, it’s not credible at all."

After Adam left with his soldiers, Zelin and Geralt walked along the **** into the mist at the foot of the mountain. When standing on the hillside, Zelin could see that it was not far from Hensett’s camp. After passing through the fog, you can quickly walk along the river to the side entrance of the camp. Along the way, they were still attacked by demon spirits, and the fog seemed to grow thicker. The north of the fog is already close to the Ponta River, and perhaps it won’t be long before Hensett must order a retreat. An endlessly expanding mist of curse, if the cult of the year were still there, it is estimated that professional mages would have been sent to lift the curse now.

When he walked out of the fog, Zelin found that he had walked into a nearby river beach. The fog is behind him like a thick wall. The endless camp walls in the distance are clearly visible in the bright sunshine.

"Wait, what is this?"

Zelin suddenly noticed that on the other side of the river beach, the wreckage of a ship had been washed to the bank by the river water, hidden in the sand and gravel on the river bank.

Geralt sighed. "It's another shipwreck, I hope it won't be sunk by Hensett's soldiers."

"Probably not." Zelin stepped forward. "This ship has sunk for a while, and..." Zelin stepped on the rocks and approached the wreckage of the shipwreck. He couldn't help but think of the diary he found on the Wang's post ship when he left the floating port. "I remember it was said in the previous diary that the people of the Temoria King's Post had sunk a ship on the upper reaches of Fujian, a ship of a mage named Oswen? Do you remember?"

"The diary you found? I still remember." Jello nodded. "Do you think it is this one?"

"Why don't you look for it." Zelin grabbed the broken ship's gunwale and climbed up. The ship dumped on the shore and the whole ship came sideways. There is a big hole on the side of the ship, which seems to have been pierced by a ballista. There are still many remaining mud and bones inside. Most of them are not humans, but may be monsters summoned by the wizard. Zelin jumped from the hole, and with the friction of sand and wood chips, he landed steadily into the cabin.

"Have you found the demon spirit?" Geralt appeared beside the hole above, squatting down on the edge and looking down. "Vengeful wizard spirit?"

"You did find the demon spirit." After opening the box, Zelin took out the small bag inside, weighed it, and threw a bag on it.

Geralt reached out to catch it.

"What is this?"

"The demon spirit possessing the coin is waiting for the demon hunter to lift the curse."

With that, Zelin stuffed another bag of coins into his pocket.

Sometimes you can see some unowned boxes and treasures in the wild. Most of them belonged to unlucky merchants, desperate smugglers, tomb robbers who died of demon spirits, or robber dens destroyed by monsters. Zelin didn't mind to tidy up these things instead of throwing them into the mud in the wilderness. Of course, no one actually cares about this kind of thing.

In the end, he found what he wanted in a sealed box in the cabin.

It seemed that it was a letter that hadn't been sent out in time.

The letter mentioned that the research in Lomugne had brought about unexpectedly good results. The objects they found were not only valuable antiques, but the most important thing was the relics belonging to the members of the first order of sorcerers. Oswen thinks this thing is very important and should not be locked in the dark basement and archives of the college. Oswen believes that as the wizard who discovered it, he has the right to claim this item. He wrote this letter to the court mage in Foltest, hoping to get support in the royal council.

The relics of the members of the first Warlock Council.

Zelin exhaled. No wonder Oswen took the risk to fan the rebellion. An ancient artifact, any mage would want to take it for himself. However, what makes Zelin feel strange is that he did not find anything that might be a divine weapon on this ship. Unless it has fallen into the Ponta River, washed into the sea along the river or disappeared into the sand.

"Okay?"

"No problem." Zelin glanced at the messy cabin full of mud and sand for the last time. "Let's go back."

The first thousand and fifty-one chapters of commissions that ended prematurely

Hensett’s camp seemed more restless than ever.

Outside the camp, there is an endless stream of people beside the pink tent under the abandoned tower. It seems that everyone wants to come here to relax. Dandrien's life looks good these days, he has made a lot of money. The officer is willing to pay the price of hiring a bard, rather than throwing a banquet or handing out rewards such as beer to divert the soldiers' attention. In the blue-clothed iron guard's camp, two blue-clothed iron guard soldiers were breaking their wrists, and several other people gathered around. There were several Oren on the table for betting money.

"You are back, very good." Roche took Zelin and Geralt into the tent, and Wei Si, who was standing by the door, waited for them to come in, then lowered the curtain. "Zelin, you didn't find the Kingslayer in Fujian, did you?"

"A lot of things have happened in Fujianli, but I don't think the kingslayer did it."

The nobles represented by Sdennis and the rebels represented by Saqiya have always been in the same situation. If it weren't for Hensett, they should have been enemies. Now because of the fog of the demon spirit, the threat of Hensett has temporarily disappeared, and they will have a new civil strife. However, it seems that the king slayer has no intention of attacking Prince Sdennis for the time being. Aden is already very weak. It doesn't matter whether he assassinates another prince or not. The only impact may be whether Adenian will continue to exist, but such a weak country can hardly pose a threat to any power.

"A few days ago, Geralt and I went to the foot of the nearby hills and hills to find the kingslayer. Finally, we found the camp set up by the kingslayer in an ancient cave ruins. But we were a step late and let the **** raise The scum escaped. There must be someone who contacted him here. When they searched the cave, they found his letter in the fire. The letter was completely burnt to ashes, but we found this."

With that, Roche took out an envelope.

"I dare you to say that that **** must be a guy who likes to throw things casually. We found the thrown envelope in a crack in the rock. The wax seal on it was torn, but I could recognize it even if I was blind. , This is what Nilfgard would use."
