The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"This kind of people are really bad," Virginia murmured.

"Ogild wanted to elope with Alice, but Alice did not want to leave her family. Later, a wandering witch told them that a man could help them realize any wish and solve all their difficulties, but it would make them His fate is even more tragic. His name is Master Mirror." The professor spread his hands: "Later things happened naturally. Ogild came to the crossroads, met with Master Mirror, then made a wish and signed. The blood contract is left, and the debt is left. The price of the contract is that Ogild must sacrifice a person he loves."

"Wait, the price of Ogild's contract is to sacrifice someone he loves." Zelin narrowed his eyes slightly: "Then he now owes three wishes to Master Mirror? What's the matter?"

"Three wishes?"

"Ogild told me that he bet with the Mirror Master that he will only pay the debt if the Mirror Master fulfills his three wishes. But if Ogild has paid the price, the life of a person he loves the most, then he will pay it back. What debt do you owe the Master Mirror?"

"It takes a price to sign a contract with the devil. Losing the person he loves most. He got the blood contract from the Master of Mirror. Gunter Odim likes this kind of contract very much, because he knows that Ogild only has two in the world. The one he loves the most is his wife Alice and the other is his brother Frodimi. He agreed, and his brother died at the hands of the enemy the next day." Professor Shakespeare sighed: "Then Ogild came to find me, trying to get rid of the Master of Mirror."

"Why?"

"The Mirror Master gave him wealth and love, but he took one thing away." Shakespeare tapped on his chest: "...his heart. He got wealth and love. He got everything he wanted, but his heart became a stone, as cold as the wind and snow. He lost his brother to get his wife, and as a result, his feelings for his wife are dying. Everything he loves is gone. This is really him. Do you want it? No, Gunter Odim will fulfill your wish, but will not give you what you want. The person who signed the contract will know this and will pay the price of life."

"No one has ever been able to deal with him? This is impossible. Any existence will have weaknesses." Virginia shook her head: "The Holy Spirit is on, at least I know that some people have done things that are impossible, although that is. A very distant story."

"Kill the incarnation of evil? This kind of naive idea can only exist in the story." The professor's voice was sharp, but then he changed his words: "But in the ancient historical records, someone once broke the contract and opposed it. Put him in the army. Odim will specifically leave loopholes in the contract, deliberately fight against others, challenge him, he will accept, you may indeed defeat him, but the only bet he wants to get is only one, then It’s the soul of mankind."

"I understand." Zelin nodded: "You know a lot of news."

"That's why I live in fear all the time, Demon Hunter, what you hear is less than one-tenth of what I see." The professor trembled a little: "A year ago, my investigation of the Master of Mirror attracted me. His attention, he came here to find me. Although I am blind, I can still clearly see the evil existence standing in front of me. He smiled at me and said that I was so interested in him, and he was honored He wanted to thank me, so he drew this circle and told me that as long as I stand in the circle, I will not lose my life. This is his reward, so-called can save my life."

"I see, so when the people of Eternal Fire occupied the academy, what did they fail to do to you?"

The professor nodded.

This explains clearly how he survived the persecution of Ladovide. Maybe the witch hunters wanted to kill him, but they couldn't enter the magic circle. The Master of Mirror did protect Shakespeare, but I'm afraid no one wants such protection.

"I'm very happy to be able to help." The professor sighed heavily: "This year, I have lived in fear. If someone can defeat the evil spirit and exile him, I will be worth death. "

Boom!

Suddenly, the house shook suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Virginia raised her eyes to the roof.

The dust is falling down.

"This, what's going on?!"

Professor Shakespeare wobbly lost his balance, stepped back a few steps, and hit the bookshelf behind him. The bookshelf pressed straight towards him. Zelin hurriedly stepped forward, supporting the bookshelf with both hands. There was nothing on the bookshelf, but Zelin felt as if he was supporting a huge rock that was about to fall from a cliff.

Suddenly, Tisaya seemed to have thought of something. She raised her hand to Professor Shakespeare and chanted a weird spell.

The professor was frightened by the shock, and he backed subconsciously, trying to avoid the bookshelf, but did not notice the glass bottle that did not know when he rolled behind him. He stepped back, just stepping on the glass bottle. He lost his balance and fell backward.

Slap—

A small wooden sculpture fell on the corners of the wooden box and then bounced to the ground.

The shaking stopped.

"What's this?" Virginia leaned on the stair railing behind her and slowly stood up. The sudden shock just now almost made her fall: "Is it an earthquake?"

"Maybe this house is about to collapse." Tisaya exhaled gently, and walked to the small wooden carving to pick it up: "Fortunately, it may not be too bad. The curse of the evil spirit almost killed him."

After the vibration stopped, the bookshelf became lighter. Zelin slowly pushed it back to the wall: "Did you turn him into a wooden sculpture?"

"Transfiguration Sealing Technique." Tishaya looked at the small statue in her hand: "It can turn people into statues and seal people's souls in wood carvings. Remember what he said just now? Once out of the magic circle, he will Lost his life. The shock just now made him go out unconsciously. I suspect that there is a curse in the magic circle. Once he tells some people his knowledge, he will die. It's just... mentioned in the curse. It’s to lose a life, not to be killed."

"So you turned him into a woodcarver?"

"Yes, I was thinking just now, what is the loophole in this sentence." Tisha Ya nodded slightly: "When he walked out of the magic circle, the protection for him was no longer valid, and I was killed when he was killed. Before, I turned him into a wood carving, that is, I took the life of his body by magic. Wood carvings are lifeless, so at that moment, I completed the "I will be taken away from the magic circle" Conditions."

"Can he change back again?" Virginia asked.

"Of course, my good girl." Tisaya smiled friendly to Virginia: "The spell of evil spirits on him has disappeared. Changing him back is equivalent to giving him a new body again. Life, but not now, it’s dangerous here. We have to get out of this house first, and when we return to Lomugne, I think his occult knowledge can be used for the order. Let’s go, Zelin, I think, I probably figured out what kind of existence this Gunter Odim really is."

Chapter 2860: Tissa's Inspiration

"He is... Mephisto."

"Mephisto? I've heard of this name."

Tisaya frowned: "Where?"

"No, I think it's just a code name, you know, I've been to many places." Zelin shrugged: "You go on, why do you call him that way?"

"He is the fraud itself, maybe the true god."

Tisaya and Zelin were walking along the Ponta River together, and the water rustled in their ears.

"Fraud?"

"Yes, Zelin. Do you know? The gods are never what we imagined. They are the existence of a certain concept, just like the death lady who represents death. As long as there is still death in this world, she will exist forever. She is the representative and incarnation of death, the concrete form of this concept."

Tisya slowly said: "And Ms. Meritelli, you will find that any race living in our world has similar beliefs. On the Skellig Islands far away from the mainland, people call her Freya. In the mouth of the elves who once ruled the world, she was called the goddess Dana Mida. All the titles refer to a goddess, she is life. Some people think that the goddess Meritelli is the belief of a typical woman, and is the standard management of conception and The goddess of fertility is also the guardian of women during childbirth, so women have been giving birth from ancient times to the present, and will continue to be born in the future. Goddess Meritelli will never have to worry about a decline in popularity, but in fact, it is not women who worship her. But worshiping life itself."

"I understand this." Zelin rubbed the corners of his eyes.

"But there are not only a few gods in our world. Temples with many gods are very rare, even hidden in the wilderness, but the true gods never disappear because no one worships them. They don’t need to worship, and their power is also It does not come from worship, just like, no humans care about a group of ants erecting a temple for themselves, but if there are many ants doing this, you may be curious and feel very interesting, and then give up pouring heat in their nests Thoughts of water and protect them and see what happens next."

Tisya stopped in front of a trestle bridge, she turned around and looked at Zelin: "So Professor Shakespeare is right, no one can kill him, as long as there are still people in the world who are deceived. Then he will exist in this world. Just like a hundred years ago, the faith of the fairy in the lake was very prosperous, because she represented virtue, but now that there is no virtue in people’s hearts, she is only in the northern shrine. The suburbs of Vizima remain. But no one can kill them, only to drive them out temporarily and leave the world."

"Shakeslake said, someone did it? That is to say..." Zelin's voice was a little unbelievable: "Someone succeeded in deceiving the deception itself?"

"But it won't hurt him, and it won't affect him, don't forget, you deceived him, aren't you also admiring him? Because he is deceiving." Tisaya held her forehead and sighed helplessly. "This is really a terrible time. Do you know why the Warlock Order has been attacking cult believers? Because cult believers may bring those terrible evil gods to the world. Jan Becker once fought against Zhuolan Ahe Te Ra, that is, the **** of bad omen. That is not a good era. When humans first landed, monsters like manticores were not a big problem, because they are everywhere and can be tangible. Was killed."

"It seems that we must find a way to expel it." Zelin said to Tishaya: "Even if it has nothing to do with Ogild."

"Thank you, Zelin, but this is the responsibility of the Order."

"No." Zelin shook his head: "Since he found me, it has something to do with me."

Tisaya stared at the Demon Hunter, and then chuckled: "I understand, Zelin, I understand why you can always get so much trouble, be a hero in so many places, and finally found a group of comrades in arms. "

"But... I'm afraid I will continue to complete Ogild's contract first." Zelin thought of Avalak who was kidnapped by the master mirror: "After all, I have a hostage in his hand."

"He may give you a wish, but... it may not be what you think. After all, it is difficult for you to judge how much of the fraudulent words are true. When you think he is lying, he Telling you the truth is also a kind of fraud, even though he told the truth. So once you wholeheartedly believe that what he said is true, then he is probably just lying."

Zelin lowered his gaze and thought about it.

"I thought of something very important..." The demon hunter clenched his right hand and punched his left palm: "Yes! Why don't I give it a try."

"Try what?" Tishaya asked.

"Damn, I want to go back to the castle as soon as possible. But...Tishaya, help me open a portal to Willen's Crow's Den."
