The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"That's it." Varif spread his hands: "The townspeople here kindly gave me a new carriage, because these days they used up all the goods I brought, and I gave it to me for free. Those refugees, so they finally decided to get a new carriage to repay me. I recently purchased some Kanduras specialties, and I got Kartim. I will definitely make all the losses from this trip. You. Maybe you don’t know that the nobles of Kartim like to buy those remote and mysterious decorations and jewelry."

"That's great." Zelin exhaled slowly: "The man who claimed to be the Angel of Justice Tyrael said that he hoped to find a carriage to Kartim as soon as possible, so I thought of it the first time. You. About when can you leave?"

"When are you going to leave?"

"The sooner the better." Zelin touched his chin: "Probably tonight or tomorrow morning, it will not exceed tomorrow noon."

Except for Zelin and Linden, everyone else here can't wait to get to Kartim as soon as possible, as if as long as they set off for an hour late, the demon Lord Belie will turn that city into hell.

The people of New Tristram have to elect a new mayor to replace Holmes' job. Many townspeople hope that Hegrid can take the post. In the past few days when the disaster broke out, his contribution to the town is obvious to all. When everyone was confused and fearful, he stood up to inspire people and donated weapons and equipment to the town for free. Min, donate materials to repair the wall. Although he is not like a businessman who is good at making towns prosperous, what the townspeople obviously need is a mayor who will stand with them, not a coward who runs away at a critical moment.

But before leaving, Zelin met two other unexpected passengers.

"Lia, Kane?" Zelin looked at the old scholar and his adopted daughter: "Are you going to Kartim too?"

"Yes, if the Demon King Belie is in Kartim, he must have heard about you from his minion, Magda." Kane leaned on the cane in one hand, and Liya held the other hand: "You guys I will definitely need a warning about the devil, and I also want to witness the defeat of a demon again with my own eyes."

"This is what Uncle wants to see very much." Liya gave herself a somewhat embarrassed look. With her free hand, she held a heavy book in her arms: "Uncle said, he has recorded in the book With the defeats of Andariel, Duriel, Mephisto, Diablo, and Barr, if people of future generations want to understand the situation of Belial, they will need a record, a person who can witness Belial with their own eyes. Records."

"But you are no longer suitable for long journeys, Kane." Zelin persuaded: "We are going to Kartim, after crossing the Rogue Plain to the east, and then walking across the Alanok Desert and taking a boat across the Twin Seas. It will take a long time to walk in the Kejistan Desert to reach Kartim. Moreover, Liya can also help you make some notes in the book, and then bring it back to you to organize."

"Yeah, uncle, why don't you stay in New Tristram." Leah glanced at Zelin gratefully, and persuaded Kane: "I will take your book to Kartim and help you record it. Everything that happened there."

Chapter 2685: Eight Way Travelers

In the end, Kane made a persistent decision to go to Kartim in person.

His body is thin as if it will be blown away by a gust of wind, but his spirit and will are still as firm as a young man. No matter how persuaded, he is unwilling to stay.

In the early morning of the next day, Varif packed the goods on the wagon, and the entourage gathered in front of the newly repaired gate of New Tristram. In addition to Li Min, Vera, Komak and Linden, Zelin discovered that there were two people he didn't know and would go to Kartim with them.

"Oh, hello, young man."

A woman wearing a loose brown-red dress and a white low-cut waistcoat shook Zelin's hand. She looked like she was about forty years old. Under light brown curly hair, there were some blessed cheeks: "It's nice to meet you. , When I heard that you helped Varif before, I wanted to get to know the man who rescued Karina and Varif in the wild forest and helped the town. But you seem to be very busy during this time. God doesn't know where it is."

"Ah...you must be the fortune-teller Miriam mentioned by Varif." Zelin shook Miriam's hand and shook it: "It's nice to meet you. Just call me Zelin. ."

"Ha, look, when I first saw you, I could tell that you are always troublesome." Miriam said as if jokingly: "You must have solved a lot of troubles, that's why More experience."

Zelin was a little surprised: "Can you see the trouble?"

"You know, because I have the ability to foretell, there has been no shortage of men's pursuits around me, but I am not only able to gossip." Mi Li'an smiled softly: "I can see the trouble in you. , You will encounter more in the future, but I believe that you should be able to solve it, right?"

Zelin sighed: "I can tell any warrior who uses a sword that you have encountered troubles in the past, and you may encounter more troubles in the future. This is the fate of the swordsman, killing people with the sword, and then dying under the sword. This is not a prophecy, this is a law."

"The prediction is to see whether you believe it or not. Perhaps, when the truth appears in front of you, you may be caught off guard." Mi Li'an chuckled slightly: "But I think you are doing the right thing. You are helping others, solving difficulties, When eliminating evil, taking the opportunity to enjoy the present is the best life, not like the magician who thinks that he wants to save the world all day long. Everyone who does his own work can be said to be saving the world. She thinks she is doing useless work, but she doesn't know it. She should learn from you."

"Forget it." Zelin wiped his forehead: "I hope she can return the sword to me sooner."

"Hi, young man, hurry up and help!" A jovial and hurried voice came from the other side. Zelin followed the voice and saw one wearing dark yellow linen clothes with a cloth bag on his chest. The old man with his tether hanging around his neck was pushing a package hard, and the package was about to fall from the carriage. He carried it hard to prevent it from falling to the ground. The exposed legs of the lower body short pants were bent hard, and the linen sandals on the feet were covered with mud.

"Ah, is this the trouble you just mentioned?"

Zelin sighed and said to Miriam, then walked to the old man, supporting the package with both hands: "Okay, okay, you let go, I have already caught... Is it important? No? I push it back."

The package was heavy, and Zelin took a lot of effort to push the package back from the edge of the carriage.

"You should wink even more, alas, the young people of these years are not enough, do you respect, respect the old and love the young?" The old man touched the white beard under the corner of his mouth, his beard hanging on his chest like a waterfall. He bent down and took a few breaths with his hands on his knees: "Don't worry, there are my tools for identifying gems. Gems, do you know gems?"

"I know gems." Zelin glanced at the gate of the city. The others had not rushed over. Varif was still in front of the carriage, packing up the horse fodder and drinking water bags on the road: "But I still don't know who you are? You want Come with us?"

"Aha, by the way, who doesn't love gems. You can call me...Shen Laotan." The old man pressed the brown leather cap on his head. He looked very old, but But it looks very energetic. There is no sense of twilightness that old people will have, and the speech is frustrated, as if an actor on the stage is reading the script with emotion: "Yes, go to the huge gem in the desert!"

Zelin was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was talking about Kartim, the city known as the gem of the Kegistan Desert.

"Well, since I'm on the way, I'm glad to meet you, my name is Zelin." Zelin stretched out his hand, but Shen Laotan did not shake his hand.

He took a step back, showing a look of surprise: "I know you, hey hey, you are just like those few people, you are really bold enough to venture outside the city gate when Leoric is resurrected. , Uh, I heard that all kinds of dangerous things are everywhere outside!"

"Sometimes, someone has to deal with those dangers, right?"

"I mean, rats and poisonous snakes outside the city." Shen Laotian's voice suddenly became serious again: "You, you are not a mouse or a poisonous snake, right. You went to find Deca Kane, I am very I like this guy named Deca Kane. It’s very happy to see him safe and sound. I rarely find a person who looks like me, haha."

"You know Dika Kane"

"No, I don't know." Old Shen said with a wretched smile: "But when we were young, we all had a good time with the female priest of Zakarum, hehehe. They are as beautiful as gems, if Leo Rick can relax without falling to where he is now."

Zelin frowned slightly: "It sounds like you know a lot of people."

"I once met Leoric when he was building his manor. The man was frowning all day and was under a lot of pressure. Even so, he still built a manor for himself." Scratching the back of his head, he caught a louse behind his shoulder, and the bullet flew out: "If he could learn the way I enjoy life at the time, I guess my life would be much easier. Hehe."

A strange guy.

Zelin reached a conclusion to Shen Laogen in his heart.

In the early morning, when the sun came out from behind the mountain and cast the sun on this troubled land, a motorcade carried hopeful, worried, excited, or boring people. These travelers from all directions embarked on the long road to Kartim.

Chapter 2686: The Road to the East

Keghistan Desert, a land of frontiers——

The sun is shining on the endless desert, cruelly squeezing the last trace of water in the earth. The carriage silently ran over the soft sand grains, and silently moved forward to the distorted scene in the distance.

"Here, it used to be the territory of the wizard tribe."

Six columns protruded from the sand in the distance, like jagged teeth, the tops seemed to be suddenly broken by some unknown force, leaving neat incisions. Li Min leaned against the carriage, raised his hand and put up a shed in front of him to block the sun. She was wearing a light purple shirt and dark blue trousers, and the hair ornament on her forehead reflected golden light in the sun: "When I was an apprentice, I often followed the instructor of the Sari Sanctuary to find ancient ruins in the desert. To collect the magic knowledge contained in it."

"Your academy is near Kartim?" Zelin wore a simple dark brown shirt, unbuttoned the buttons at the collar, and leaned back against the edge of the carriage: "Since you are here for school, you should be very good to Kartim. Familiar?"

"No, I have never been to a city." Li Min looked to the other side and waved his hand casually: "There are only thieves hiding in the sewers and crooks sitting in mansions. I want to save the world, why should I Wasting energy on such silly things?"

Vera silently unscrewed the oak plug of the water bag, took a sip, and handed it to Zelin. The hot weather made the Demon Hunter also change her armor, wearing only a simple set of close-fitting sleeveless leather armor, exposing the shoulders, the boots all the way to the knees, and the upper part is covered with leather sewn with hemp rope. Hold the thighs down to the base.

Zelin took the water bag, raised his head and took a sip, only a few drops of liquid flowed out of it. The demon hunter reluctantly threw the water bag to the ground and turned his head to look at the driver in front of the carriage: "How far are we from Kartim?"

"It will be here soon." The man driving the car repeated the words Zelin didn't know how many times he had heard: "It's almost here."

After leaving New Tristram, they headed east and soon reached the Rogue Plain at the foot of the mountains. The mountain range stretches from north to south across the entire western continent. Only the pass in the middle is the only way to the east from Canduras. Located in the monastery of the Sisters of the Blind Eye in the pass, when Tristram was killed, Kane had taken refuge in Camp Rogge for a period of time.

Andariel, one of the four demon kings of hell, occupied the monastery, and until she was defeated, the nuns regained it. They are still receiving foreign guests today, and Kasha and Akara are the leaders of the local nuns. The group of people in the convoy repaired in the monastery for two days, provided food and water for crossing the Alanok Desert, and then went on the road again.

It took ten days to cross the desert before Zelin saw Lu Gaoyin City on the other side of the desert, beside the Twin Seas. After a day of rest in Lu Goin Middle School, Varif relied on his contacts and quickly helped Zelin and his team to get a ship to the Kegistan Desert. In the past, ships would go to Kurast, but after 20 years ago, Kurast was besieged and most of the city was turned into ruins. Few ships would go to the dilapidated city on the edge of the rainforest. Only explorers will go to the ruins of Trivank in the rainforest to find the treasures left by the Zakarram Church.

In Kegistan, it took them two days to find a convoy to Kartim.

Zelin looked at the sand in the distance, under the blue sky, the desert twisted in the heat. Suddenly, a sandy land was sunken, forming a sand line about three meters long. Some kind of weird creature swam in the sand and quickly disappeared on the other side of the dune.

"That's a dune long-tailed lizard!" Liya in the other carriage held the edge of the carriage with her hands and leaned out and shouted to Zelin. The heat wave blew the tip of Liya's hair: "This means that you are very close to Kartim! The villages near the city often have such desert lizards."
