The Journey of the Demon Hunter

No one noticed that this looked like everyone else, like a demon hunter who had just escaped from the house. Zelin was wearing a simple shirt. He wrapped the sword in his cloak and tucked it under his arm.

In the chaotic crowd, Zelin accidentally met a familiar figure.

"Damn...Keep your eyes open, look at me, look at me! You'll be fine, don't fall asleep, or I'll slap you!"

A red-haired medical officer was cutting the bandage, and there was a person lying in front of her, wearing the clothes of a Redanian soldier. The bare skin was scorched, and only half of his cheeks remained intact.

"...You are so beautiful, medical officer." A smile was forced out of the burnt face.

"This proves that your injury is not that bad. Your eyes are still intact. Wait a minute, I still have disinfectant. It may hurt at first, but this can prevent your wound from becoming infected... .."

"Xia Ni?"

Xia Ni raised her head: "Zelin? You are here at the right time, please help me to hold this bandage! His wound needs to be disinfected..."

"He is dead."

Xia Ni paused, she lowered her head, and the young soldier's eyes were still intact staring at the sky where the smoke drifted across. Xia Ni pursed her mouth, squeezed her fist resentfully, and slammed it on her knee, shook out the strongman's teardrops under her eyelids.

"Damn...! He's only nineteen years old!"

Zelin squatted down and closed the eyes of the young soldier: "Do you know him?"

"Mikrain, he has always been responsible for bringing me the news from the army, or going to the infirmary to take away the potion I prepared. His father died in the Battle of Maribo, and his mother later died of illness. So he was desperate to join the army. He just rushed into the fire and rescued two people... Damn it!" Xia Ni covered her cheeks with her hands and took a few deep breaths before letting her breath ease. Come down: "Sorry, it's nice to see you are safe, Demon Hunter."

"It's not safe here, Xia Ni, go to other places." Zelin saw a bandage wrapped around Xia Ni's forehead: "Are you injured?"

"I'm okay, I was scratched by shattered glass." Xia Ni touched the bandage on her forehead: "The wound is very shallow and will recover in a few days."

"The medical officer is here!"

There was a shout not far away, and several guards in iron boots ran over: "Salute to you, doctor. We went to your hospital just now, but we didn't find you. I thought you were in an accident."

"I'm fine...I'm fine." Xia Ni lifted the red hair on her forehead: "I found a few wounded people here. Is there anything wrong?"

"We have wounded here...who is this?" The leading bearded guard noticed the demon hunter next to Xia Ni.

"He is my friend." Xia Ni explained: "Tell me, how many wounded are there? Wait, my medical kit is broken. Come back to the hospital with me to get medical tools, and then take me to the wounded. Place."

"Please follow us here, medical officer. The city is not safe, and we will protect you."

Before leaving, Xia Ni said to Zelin: "Take care, Demon Hunter. The flames here are caused by explosions. There may be things that haven't exploded in the fire field. Don't rush in. It's too dangerous."

"Thank you for your reminder, Xia Ni." Zelin nodded, "I will pay attention."

Seeing Xia Ni's back, Ze Lin took a deep breath, the scorching smell mixed with the salty wetness of the distant sea breeze poured into his lungs.

There are still flames in the distance, but no one cares about the smoldering ruins.

Closing his eyes and sighing, Zelin held the sword and walked towards the gate of Novigrad.

Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamation from people in the distance.

"Novigrad..."

"Look over there!"

Zelin looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw that in the horrified eyes of people, the tower of Novigrad's Eternal Fire Temple burst into flames and collapsed in a series of explosions. Broken rocks scattered in all directions, and a violent explosion burst from the middle of the tower, cutting the tower in the middle. The burning spire fell into the building complex below, disappearing behind the eaves and spires.

Immediately, a dazzling fireball rose from the ground, and the sky seemed to be dim.

"Eternal fire!" Someone wailed in pain.

"What's the matter?"

"Did the gods abandon us..."

Novigrad?

Zelin frowned, he lowered his head, tightened his mouth in annoyance, and slammed his fist: "Damn it!"

He took out a whistle, and a huge black shadow flew across the sky in the harsh and sharp whistle.

Chapter 2595: The Attacked Spy

Riding a griffin across the sky and looking down from the sky, many parts of the upper city of Novigrad and the Temple Island were lit by flames, and the thick smoke echoed the Orsenfurt on the Ponta River in the east. There were soldiers fighting fire everywhere, and the city guards performed their duty of protecting the upper city. Looking around, only scattered fire spots near the lower city were still burning, and the eternal fire temple collapsed.

Zelin controlled the Griffin to land on the edge of the Temple Island. Missionaries, nuns, and temple guards gathered around the collapsed temple, praying one after another.

"Where is Chapei?" Zelin grabbed a missionary: "Where is your bishop?"

Not many people here know that there is another Amelia next to Zha Pei who is making suggestions for him. Only Zha Pei knows where Amelia is.

"Cha, Bishop Chapei is in the temple guard barracks below."

The missionary's answer gave Ze Lin a sigh of relief. He knew that the Temple Guard Barracks, right next to the St. Gregory Bridge, far from the main temple, would not be affected by the explosion.

In the barracks, Zelin found Cha Pei without notification. The latter stood beside an altar under the protection of several temple guards. He kept looking around, with confusion and worry flashing in his eyes from time to time. He was obviously relieved when he noticed the demon hunter appeared on the side of the road.

Zha Pei raised his hand to the demon hunter.

"You go down first and help those in need. I want to have a chat with the Demon Hunter."

Zelin walked up the stairs to the altar and heard Chapei's order to the guards of the temple next to him: "Go find some documents, let them write notices, and paste them on the Saint Gregory Bridge tomorrow morning, tell the citizens that everything is safe on the temple island. ."

The guard of the temple left the altar, and Chapei wiped the drops of sweat on his forehead.

"You are here, Zelin. This is bad, if it weren't for Amelia's reminder, I might have been dragged out of the fire."

"Where is Amelia now?"

"I knew you were going to ask her. She was fine. After the explosion, she went to the upper city area outside the Temple Island. I don't know what she was going to do, and she didn't tell me." Zha Pei scratched the back of his head. : "But that little girl seems to have discovered something, and she didn't even let me send a temple guard to follow her."

"Damn it, doesn't she know that she is paying attention to her safety?" Zelin sighed, "Where did she go? Where did she go?"

"She went to Shangcheng District." Chapei said, "and rode a horse."

It is not easy to track a person riding a horse in the city, but the road from Temple Island to the upper city is only the St. Gregory Bridge. There is a lot of water on the bridge, along with the horseshoe prints left on the road, Zelin found Amelia on the stairs leading down from the long bridge. The latter did not leave the Temple Island too far. When Zelin just walked to the end of the long bridge located in the upper city, he saw the stone stairs guardrail in the distance, and Amelia stood beside the stone fence with both hands. Overlooking the city.

"Amelia!"

Hearing the sound, Amelia turned her head and flung her white hair to the back of her head: "Zelin?" She widened her eyes: "Why are you here? I remember you were in Osenforte... "

"Yes, just half an hour ago, I was still in Osenfurt." Zelin walked to Amelia: "Then I saw the temple of Novigrad exploded. What is going on? ?"

"My spy... I mean that Chapei’s men said that they heard that a batch of oil drums were missing in the warehouse of the wharf, so I sent someone to investigate the matter, and I learned that it was in the temple yesterday. Imported a new batch of fuel, purchased in the name of maintaining the altar. But in fact, neither I nor Chapei have approved this." Amelia rubbed her cheeks and stained her left cheek. A smear of soot: "As a result, when I asked Chapei to take people out of the temple and sent people to the temple to investigate, the explosion happened. I just saw a few sneaky figures escaping from the temple. Island, so I rode a horse and chased it up, but I lost it here!"

"It's fine if you are not injured." Zelin exhaled slowly.
