The Journey of the Demon Hunter

This will be the most critical moment. If they can succeed, they will minimize the danger of the trial of the grass. The biggest threat in the mutation process of the demon hunter will become negligible. With the help of magic spells, they can improve the mutation process that hasn't changed for almost a hundred years. The reduction in mortality is self-evident.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Marty looked at the slightly trembling magic crystal next to the laboratory, and raised his hand to stop the other two warlocks who were about to use the spell. "There are traces of other magic nearby. Maybe someone is using detection."

"Someone tried to destroy this place?" Ceres directly drew out the sword behind his back. "Where is it?"

Reso had no words on the side, but his eyes showed that if the disruptor was right in front of him, he would relentlessly draw out the sword to chop off the opponent's head.

"I don't know, I'm a doctor." Marty shrugged. "It may just be that someone used teleportation far away. After passing through Mahakam's magic node, I'm not sure... The magic is very powerful, I can't counter it. Either he was using scouting near the castle, or someone was carrying magic crystals to help him cast spells. I can’t determine the situation. It may be passing by, it may be curiosity, or it may be about to destroy it."

"We have something to do." Gerd clenched his fists and touched them, and the Demon Hunter of the Bear School moved his neck. "It seems that there may be a caster who thinks he can influence here."

"Let's not jump to conclusions. We'd better go outside the castle and use badges to find places where vandals may be hidden." Eskell calmly raised his hand. "It may be a false alarm, but we are more careful. "

"Postpone mutation." Zelin said to Aiden, who was standing next to the instrument. "Since someone is spying with magic, he must know that we removed the anti-magical metal for the purpose of casting spells. And with this level of magic power, he won't be too far away from the castle. Far away, find him. If you encounter an unexpected situation, use the signal arrows to contact each other. Marty" the demon hunter turned to the female warlock and said, "You follow the plan and continue to cast the stability spell, so that the peepers think we haven't found him. We are. Leaving the castle from the side and searching nearby, immediately, immediately. This trial of grass must not fail."

Chapter 792 Evidence

Zelin returned to the castle for several days, just to prepare for this green grass trial ritual. In fact, he has been preparing for this for three years. A large part of the reason why the number of demon hunters is scarce is because of the extremely high mortality rate of the trial of the grass, although the trial of the grass will give them a life span far beyond ordinary humans. And physical fitness.

Not only Zelin, but other demon hunters are also waiting for the results, and successfully nurtured newcomers. This is the sign of the establishment of a demon hunter academy. Demon hunters of different schools are united in order to rebuild an organization, an organization that can represent demon hunters. Since these colleges were destroyed, they have been wanderers, and they have been wandering long enough. In the past, Zelin would still have some doubts, when there are fewer and fewer monsters in this world, why a new demon hunter is needed. But after seeing that scene and the illusion of the arrival of the end age, he would no longer have any doubts about it.

The world needs them, a group that can fight unknown monsters, not just warlocks.

Aiden and several other female warlocks stayed in the castle to prevent them from being attacked after they left. Frid was temporarily returned to her world by her sister in the form of a summoning charm. It is estimated that she will wait a few days after the battle over there is over.

This made the defense in the castle weaker. After getting some of the treasures of the Lonely Mountain, Zelin began to consider whether he could hire some guards to guard this area. Only relying on demon hunters, they felt a little lack of skill. Can't stay in the castle all day, and now the four demon hunter strongholds, except for Kyle Morhan, the remaining three require at least one demon hunter to be stationed to deal with local monsters and commissions.

In the past, he never thought that the demon hunter's academy needed guards. In the past, there were not many things in the academy that would arouse others' prying eyes. The only thing they have is probably the mutant formula of the Demon Hunter, and there are various potions that are indistinguishable from the poison for ordinary people, even if they are short of money. The thief will not target the mutant’s castle. But for now, let alone the treasure he stored in the underground cave of the castle, just the corpse of a dragon is enough to attract many people's attention.

Several cult warlocks worked together to transport Smaug's corpse. Its corpse was very large. Although it received some damage when passing through the portal, it still almost occupied the newly expanded open space. Outsiders don't know how this dragon's body came from, they will consider what this dragon can bring. In the legend, dragons appear with treasures. It is conceivable that when the body of a dragon appears in the Demon Hunter’s Castle, they will welcome many uninvited guests. He would consider whether he could hang Smaug's head on the city gate, which should allow some people to consider which of their lives and money is more important.

This time looking for the Ebin to come to the castle, it is precisely to discuss something with this talented young businessman. Of course, this is just one of them. Zelin believes in the theory of the Aibin people. The moldy gold coins thrown in the cellar are not as good as a pile of scrap iron. He is not interested in understanding the principle, but it does bring him a lot of benefits. He believes this young businessman knows. What to do with coins.

The badge of the Demon Hunter shook slightly in the cold wind.

Near Mahakam Castle, the sorcerers found a ring of elements. This is where the demon hunter badge is made, and they can absorb the power of the elements, enhance the power of the seal, or soak themselves in chaotic energy. Among. This is good news. There is also a ring of elements near Kyle Morhan, which can solve their need for chaotic energy. But the bad news that followed was that the Ring of Elements happened to be located near a dwarven mine, and he might need to negotiate with the dwarves to solve the problem.

The cold wind whizzed past his ears, calming his mind.

This couldn't help making him feel irritable. If a person's home is located at the junction of several countries and forces, and is also located not far from the front line of the battlefield, not many people can appear to be indifferent. Not to mention the accident. He doesn't know who it was or who did it. He hopes that when he finds someone nearby who uses the props, that person can say something before leaving some indelible marks on his body. Valuable information comes.

The premise is that Zelin can find it in advance. The one who was undergoing the ceremony was the apprentice trained by the demon hunter of the Viper School. If Reso and Ceres were to find it in advance, they would not say a word and would take the man's life with a sword.

The surroundings of the castle are fairly safe. Relatively speaking, the monsters in the mountains also seem to know to avoid this area. There will be people who will kill into their caves and destroy their nests. But this also makes those who may exist spy agents become unscrupulous. They don't need to worry about being dragged away by monsters coming behind when lying in the grass.

When he waited on the nearby hillside, Zelin found that the intruder had not concealed his behavior in the slightest, and the trembling of the badge became obvious, as if a lighthouse was lit on a dark plain. There are more beech trees on the surrounding hillsides. These trees are rooted in the soil between the rocks and the branches are constantly swaying in the cold wind. Zelin stared at the canopy above. This was a possible area for several sources of magic power, and it was also a good place to ambush.

He walked carefully under the tree, his pupils diverging, and as far as possible the nearby light into his eyes, so that he could see more clearly in the dark night.

But there was no attacker here. Zelin looked around. He found the right place. A lavender crystal was lying in the grass under the tree. He surveyed the surroundings carefully, it seemed like someone had dropped a bait, but no hunter appeared. After confirming that there was no one around, the demon hunter walked over, bent over and picked up the crystal that had fallen on the ground. He knew this thing, the thing used for long-distance imaging communication before the telescope appeared, the disadvantage is that it consumes far more energy than the telescope.

He held this diamond-shaped crystal and flipped it back and forth, and soon he found a clue. A small logo, a badge from the Montecarvo region, each magic product will show the emblem of the place of production, this shouldn't be an important clue. But Zelin remembered who belonged to the Montecavo area. It is located in the territory of Redania, the private domain of the sorcerer Philippa Erhardt.

The weak chaotic energy is difficult to drive him, but as a demon hunter of the Griffin School, Zelin can still use Alderfayin to make it work temporarily.

Chapter 793: Phantom Man

This is not a good start.

A flash of lightning flashed across the night sky, and the chaotic energy in the air made Philippa's skin tingle slightly. This shouldn't be the case, these chaotic energies should make her feel comfortable, and moderate magic can relax her mind. But this time, she felt an uncontrollable anxiety, and even the Countess Noiret who was sleeping next to her could not calm her down. It has been so many days, she is like a juggler walking on a tightrope, except that the bottom is not a soft cushion, but an invisible abyss.

She lifted the embroidered satin, and the walls of Montacavor Castle seemed a bit strange. The stone floor was unbearably cold. She rubbed her messy hair and chanted a spell in a low voice. It was cool and sweet. The water immediately filled the glass in his hand. She is not a philosopher, so she would not consider whether the transformed water was transformed by magical power or convened from other places. There is a map hanging on the wall of the bedroom. The black on the map is constantly eroding the rest of the place. She has no idea how many days she has been in the castle. Her servants and Dixcher will bring news from the outside world. Come in.

There is almost no good news. The imperial army will soon achieve the goal of the first phase of the war, pushing the border to the banks of the Ponta River. Aden and Livia in the east of the Mahakam Mountains have been destroyed, and now only Tamoria is struggling to support them in the west. When this winter has passed and the spring offensive of the Nilfgardians begins, Tamoria will no longer exist, and the witch is convinced of this.

She didn't have much time.

Philippa rubbed her stuffy chest, anxiety and pressure, these things are affecting her body, she is a witch, she shouldn't be like this, just like she should not be so ridiculous as an experienced politician.

The defeat on Sinide Island was a major loss. She lost her most important allies, and the Empire got everything she wanted. A shattered order, a group of warlocks defeated, and everyone who casts spells is at risk. No one dared to stand up and help the North against the invading Nilfgaards. There are even many people who think about how to bow to the empire in advance in exchange for preserving their status and property after being conquered in the future.

A terrible situation, a distraught situation. The past order was destroyed by wars and riots, and the new order is being tempered in the fire.

The age of sword and axe, the age of blizzard of wolf, the age of madness and shame, the age of end.

She thought of Yselina's prediction.

The ancient bloodline will be reborn, reborn from the seed that has already been sown. This seed will not sprout but burst into flames.

She is proficient in transfiguration and understands hypnosis and prophecy. She didn't know how much time they had left. The coup on Sinide Island was supposed to unite the spellcasters from the entire north and return the spellcasters to the era of white Lafada. These long-lived, knowledgeable and wise scholars, the chaos energy holders who understand the world and can study it should be the power that dominates the world, not the short-sighted and ignorant kings. Kings don’t know that this world will be. What are they facing, and they are arguing with a few villages over a piece of land or two.

She threw her dressing gown to the ground. The convenience of magic allowed her to relax herself with a bucket of hot water on a cold winter night. She needs to relax and be calm. She had already made a mistake on Sinide Island. She couldn't make a second mistake. Besides, she didn't have a third chance.

She needs everything to strengthen herself. Times will not wait for them to be ready.

The dim light from the communicator made her frown slightly. This is not a good time, no one will bother her at this time. She uttered a short spell, and the witch's appearance immediately changed, and a neat dress appeared on her. A well-dressed woman is obviously more majestic than a naked woman, and now she needs to maintain this majesty. She hopes that the person who disturbs her would have a good reason, but she doesn't want it either, because news that can be so urgent to open the communication in the middle of the night is usually not good news.

Nilfgard attacked in winter?

Or the nobles who were ready to move after the death of King Vezmir finally have new plans? The corpse that Dixcher had hanged on Tritog apparently failed to completely shock them.

"Your behavior has been overdone, Philippa."

The witch looked at the mirror image of the crystal projected on the lens. This is not the most advanced communication technology, but it is the most difficult way to track and monitor with magic.

"I don't understand what you are talking about, Demon Hunter. I don't remember that I ever arranged such a meeting." Philippa stroked the ring on her index finger. "You go to Serekania, I don't know you are in the desert. I found something in it, but I don’t think this is an excuse for you to invade the castle with the crystal."

"I don't remember either." Zelin responded unceremoniously. "When did I invite your spy to come to my castle, to place surveillance near the demon hunter's academy, and use magic to disturb the castle. You. Thought that after I left, the castle could be surveyed at will?"

"I won't tolerate such slander, Demon Hunter. I don't have any spies to Mahakam!" Philippa waved her hand, and then her tone returned to her usual. "And I have nothing to do with your castle. Interest." Her voice was calm and calm. "But now, if you want, I will arrange a meeting for us to have a good talk. We can solve the gaps and doubts between them. I don’t need new ones. Enemy, I don’t think you need it either."

"As someone caught, you are calm, witch."

"You also need to calm down, Demon Hunter. There are some misunderstandings between us, and I know Tisya decided to support you. I don't know how you can make the great teacher willing to support you instead of joining us. I believe in one A meeting is better than unprovoked suspicion, which is good for both of us."

"You look like you have a chance to win."

"I always do."

"It's like on Sinide Island."

"Your sarcasm will not give you an advantage, and the satirical poem will not allow the Nilfgardians to withdraw." Philippa's eyebrows twitched slightly. Go outside the city of Ma, and you will know what to do when you arrive."

"Why do I have to see you?" Zelin raised his eyebrows

"I have no obligation to answer you."
