The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Who am i?

She thought about it, but it made her head hurt more and more. The pain in the head squeezed her nerves, and the burning sensation in her whole body made her lie down weakly. There seemed to be some kind of glue on the eyelids and could not be opened.

She is Johanna, the Crusaders of the North.

The numb brain started to work again, and the memory returned to her mind. She remembered her name and her identity. She was a priest and came to Westmar to investigate the corruption behavior of the Knights and wanted to use it. It is clear whether there is a connection between the corruption of the Knights and the source of the corruption of the Zakarum Church.

Where am i?

Suddenly, Johanna realized that she didn't seem to be able to solve this problem. She wanted to open her eyes, but she couldn't. She could feel the soft mattress under her body. Obviously, she was not locked in a cage. She had never heard of any prison that would prepare such comfortable beds for prisoners. There was a quilt on her body, and she wanted to pull the quilt off. It was too hot, but she couldn't do it.

This really troubled her.

What am i doing?

Why did you become like this?

When confronting the big group leader, she did feel a powerful force. She killed the enemy with this power, but what power was it? This is the blessing of the Holy Light, or is it really the power of Nephitian, as the leader said? If the leader's description of Nephitian is correct, what about Akarat's beliefs? Could it be that the saint was wrong? What he discovered was the sleeping power in the human body. This power might come from the devil, not the enlightenment of the archangel Aris.

Suddenly, the heat wave on his body faded like a tide, leaving only a cold sweat.

She woke up.

Slowly opened his eyes, the brown-black ceiling came into view.

The whole body was still very stiff, and Johanna slowly turned her neck, and she noticed that she was lying on the velvet bed, covered with a dark red bedding, embroidered with a fine cross outline with gold thread. There is a thick dark red carpet in the room. The firewood in the fireplace was pulsating with a gentle flame. At the top, thirteen candles were lit on the crystal chandelier, reflecting the room like daylight. Through the carved shutters, it can be seen that the outside is still pitch black, and the bright moon sprinkled silver threads on the gray tile spires of the uneven houses.

By the window, there is a single table under the raised curtains. A figure sits at the table, watching the night outside the window. From time to time, he records something in the diary in front of him. The quill is rubbing against the paper, rustling in the quiet room. Rattle.

"Uh..."

Hearing Johanna's voice, Zelin turned his head, looking surprised that she had opened her eyes.

"Are you awake? Great, the priest in the court said that they think you might be in a coma for a while." Zelin put down the quill, closed the diary, and walked towards Johanna: "How do you feel? If it's not good, I'm going to help you find the pastor."

"No, no priest is needed." Johanna closed her eyes and exhaled slowly. She pulled her arm out of the quilt: "I think...I just sit up and rest for a while. Where's my weapon? My shield, my flail, and my sword..."

"I haven't seen anyone before. The first thing after waking up is to find a weapon. Don't worry, you are safe here. All your weapons and equipment are here." Zelin stretched out his hand and pointed to the one placed by the fireplace. Iron hoop wooden box: "Do you really feel okay? Last night, you were in a bad state. Are you having a nightmare? And the priest thinks you are cursed by the devil. Oh, yes, they left The potion..."

"No, really don't need it. Akarat is here, please spare me, I don't like these bitter and useless potions..." Johanna tried it twice, and was very disappointed to find the muscles all over her body. It seems that I have completely lost my strength and still haven't recovered: "Please, help me sit up. I really don't want to lie down anymore."

Zelin sat on the edge of the bed and sat up with Johanna's back. Johanna rubbed her forehead and exhaled long.

"We succeeded, didn't we? Otherwise we won't stay here. But...but am I like a woman who will appear in the palace? What happened, Zelin? I'm very curious." Johanna raised Started and looked around: "The blankets here should be able to buy the best sword in my hand."

"After you defeated the big commander, the knights in that stronghold did not continue to attack us." Zelin explained: "They seem to be lost and confused. There are still many people who are crazy, but no one pays attention to us. Here. It is indeed the palace, the palace of Westermah. We seem to have accidentally smashed some very incredible things."

After Adelin got enough evidence, he immediately came to the palace and, through a general, saw King Gasdine IV. The king immediately announced the arrest of Lord Wyton, and found more surprising evidence and discoveries in his family mansion. The cooperation between the Lord Wydon and the Knights Templar and his collusion with the Wizarding Society were not simply to expand his influence.

He believes that he is a descendant of Lakis, the first king of Westmar, and his ancestor is the illegitimate son of Lakis' son Corrison. He hired wizards to search the tomb of Lakis to find more evidence, and he was also involved in a plan called a trial by the Knights Templar.

The Knights plan to seize Westmar and use the same means to purify the souls of the citizens of this city, and expand into a stronger army, with Westmar as a base, and then seize the entire world. Lord Wydon hoped that the Knights would disrupt Westmar, and only when the city and country fell into chaos, could he find a chance to seize the throne.

Originally, Lord Wyton and King Gasdeen IV were very inconsistent, and the conflict between the two parties in the court was completely open. But the latter has his followers, and the king finds it difficult to attack him, and he is also worried that he will run away. As a result, Gasdeen IV has directly received Lord Wyton, and there is enough evidence to silence others. So the king appointed Adelin as the local sheriff to investigate the crimes of the thieves’ guild. Of course, the most important thing is to investigate the role of the thieves’ guild in Lord Wrighton’s usurpation plan.

But this was an unattainable surprise for Adelin. He was finally able to fight against this criminal organization scattered in every city of Westmar and controlling the streets and alleys of Xiacheng.

"So, as a warrior against the Knights, the court of King Gasdine certainly welcomes you. In fact, you can even stay here if you want. Oh, by the way, Kara, please. During the battle that day, she went straight into the dungeon and rescued her friend. The Rasma Order seemed to be in trouble, and she hurried back and failed to say goodbye to you."

"Her friend is fine." Johanna exhaled slowly: "How about you?"

"Huh?"

"How is your investigation of the Wizarding Society?"

"There is no result yet, but now that you are awake and safe, then I can prepare to go to Kingsport. Edlin has returned, and he can't wait to take revenge on the Thieves' Guild. It's not early, I I am going to leave in another two hours. Because of Lord Whiteton’s affairs, the city of Westerm is under martial law, and the gates will not open until two hours later."

Zelin was indeed still thinking about the Wizarding Club.

Before Adelin left, he entrusted Adelin to help him keep an eye on the stronghold where the Wizarding Association recruited members, which was the orphanage. That orphanage sounds like a problem, maybe the wizard will hide some secrets in it.

"I will go with you."

"You? No, you need to rest, you need to recuperate."

"No, I'm fine, Zelin." Johanna shook her head. She stretched out her arms, rolled up her sleeves, revealing her tight arms: "I can already fight the devil, and my strength is recovering. I, I never It feels so much better." She sighed as she said, "You said I was having a nightmare? Did I show...what is different from the past?"

"Let me think about it." Zelin thought for a few seconds, then nodded: "Maybe it does."

"What?"

"When you ask this question, you must be considering what the leader said, right?" Zelin asked back. Seeing her momentary doubts, Zelin chuckled lightly: "The Johanna I know is not because of an enemy. I doubted myself. What are you thinking? We defeated the Grand Commander. The Knights Templar will never frame good people and ruin their lives and destiny in the name of justice. There is no Grand Commander. , I think the remaining Knights Templar will soon fall apart. I also know a friend of the Knights Templar, I really don’t know how he would think about it."

Johanna sighed and rubbed the corners of her sore eyes. She was in a coma for two days and one night, but she looked like she had never slept at all.

"In the chief, do you find clues related to corruption? In the name of Akarat, I must figure out why he will take charge of the Knights Templar and bring the Knights into the abyss."

"This is what I'm about to tell you." After speaking, Zelin took out a diary: "This is the diary of the great commander I searched at the knights' stronghold. It is mentioned that he thinks the real enemy of mankind. It’s angels and demons. Only Nephitian can defeat them. Humans may awaken and become Nephitian. Although it is a very lucky few, as long as he can rule enough human beings and make them join the cause of jihad, then He will have the opportunity to form a real army of Nephitian. However, this diary looks a bit old, I suspect he was not the leader at that time... Take it and see, by the way, I They still found some strange drawings in their armory."

The 2770th chapter invites peers

Johanna believes that the fall of the Knights may have originated from the destruction of the World Stone twenty years ago.

After the destruction of the World Stone, many strange rumors appeared all over the world, and some people suddenly gained powerful power. In Jikul, a young mage almost resurrected the undead army buried underground, and in Xiansai, a young girl could even call the wind and rain. The ancient legend of Nephitian was brought up again, and many people were talking about it, and the legendary Westma based on the ruins of Nephitian was the center of the rumors.

There are some strange weapon designs in the arsenal. Zelin found that the above designs are very clever, and the forging process is even more peculiar. So he handed over the blueprint to Johanna for review. The Holy Religious Army has been to many places and knows about armor and other equipment, but she knows nothing about this design and the description of the armor. They associate with each other.

Riding a brown-red horse, Zelin left Westma in the morning light. Johanna rode her armored war horse and walked side by side into the path between the dense swamp forest.

In the end, Johanna refused the king's invitation and the suggestion to stay in Westmar to recuperate. She decided to go to King Port with Zelin to investigate clues to the Wizarding Club.

"What are you going to do after finding the Wizarding Club?" Johanna seemed to be a little weak. She didn't wear a full set of armor, but only an armored suit with a chain mail and battle robe: "You really Don’t you think about my proposal? You can try it first. My mentor had many apprentices and retinues, but in the end only I persisted. Some people left at the beginning, which is normal."

"I told you, Johanna, you can find some other people, I'm already...the age to retire." Zelin rubbed the tip of his nose like a mockery: "I just have to do it because of a trouble. Going out to take risks again. After so many years, I am a little tired."

He sighed.

Really tired.

"However, I do know some outstanding young people. I can recommend them to you. Then, maybe you will find a suitable apprentice among them." Zelin moved his shoulders and yawned. The road from Westmar to King’s Port is not too far. The road is very safe. This is the core area of ​​Westmar. Soldiers can still ensure the safety of the road. After so many days, he can finally get a temporary rest. "You can’t worry about finding an apprentice. Sometimes, you may not find it at all, but sometimes, you may stumble upon a very suitable candidate. Destiny, it will make a decision."

"Within the Crusades, the knight’s heirs are only apprentices, and apprentices will inherit names, weapons, armor, and careers."

Johanna looked at the road ahead, which was winding and twisting. After the end that could be seen disappeared in the dense woods, it was difficult to guess whether the road behind was a smooth road or a bush of thorns that needed to be bypassed.

"Johanna is a Crusader soldier two hundred years ago. If he was a man, he would be called John, if he was a woman, he would be called Joan. And Johanna would be called her heir status as a title or surname, representing The cause of the Crusades in those days still has successors, the death of the body is not terrible, and the spirit of the expedition will live forever. However, if I had no apprentice when I died, Johanna would be removed from the canon of the Crusades. , On behalf of her death, they will hold a funeral for her-her spirit completely disappeared when I died, because I could not find a fighter who inherited the spirit of Johanna."

"Johanna is not your real name?"
