The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Through the telescope, Zelin contacted Francesca. The chaotic energy nearby was very unstable, and it took him a lot of effort, until he was about to return to the hermit hut before he successfully activated the telescope. Unsurprisingly, Kenna was holding a bowl of hot soup in her hut when she arrived at Füsigta, and sneezed in a thick blanket next to the brazier.

"Your complexion doesn't look good, what's the matter?"

In Tousant’s Baklan Palace, Francesca holds a telescope and puts up a shed in front of her. Through the windows carved with vines, she looks at the palace garden below and the lake in the distance. Tousant’s sunshine always seems to be so bright, making people happy. She had just woke up, and the maid in the room was cleaning up. As a guest from the north, she had reason to live in the best guest room in the Bakerland Palace and enjoy the service of a servant.

"Be careful, Enid, I got a very dangerous piece of news that someone might be planning to assassinate you."

Hearing this news, the elf frowned slightly.

"How to say?"

"Some people in the empire who are dissatisfied with the emperor may plan to rely on some shady means to eliminate local nobles who will not be on their side."

Although Dole Bretanna is located north of the Yaluga River, the Valley of Flowers has become a kingdom within the imperial territory when Aden and Livia were annexed by the empire. Not to mention, the elf's throne canonization documents and de jure documents came from Nilfgard.

"I think some people may not like it. There will be a non-human race with the same title as them, or a higher status than them."

"How did you get the news...what kind of trouble are you involved in?" Francesca patted his forehead. "I knew, did your business in Ebin end?"

"It's over." Zelin glanced at Fysgotta's hut. The old hermit was wrapping the light-haired elf's broken arm with gauze. "And I met an agent who worked for you named Till Ered. ."

"Is she still alive?" the elf warlock asked eagerly.

"It's still alive, it's not very good, but I found a doctor, and it won't be life-threatening."

"You helped me a lot." Francesca breathed a sigh of relief. She squinted and looked to the side of the table where a venomous snake with scratched skin and flesh was lying. A patterned cat was lying on the window sill, basking in the sun, stretched lazily, "I will wait for you in Towson, and come back as soon as possible. Don’t worry, I’m safe here. Well, I think I have found a breakthrough in the negotiation. Now... Oh, don’t mind, things on my side should end smoothly. We can take a break and then consider going to Skyrim."

Chapter VIII The Silhouette of the West

Things in the South come to an end for the time being.

Zelin asked Francesca about the ghost hunt and the Swift Tower in the telescope. Francesca didn't say much in the communication. She only told Zelin that Xili would not be in danger after entering the tower and she was safe. As for the specific situation, she couldn't explain clearly for a while, and she had to wait for Zelin to come back and talk to him face to face.

"My law firm must have gone."

After two days of rest in the hermit’s hut, a heavy snow covered the swamp, and Zelin could only wait until the snow stopped before setting out to return. Exactly this time, Fresgerta gave the demon hunter some medical books, most of which were surgical operations and his research on disinfection and sterilization. Many of them were manuscripts written by him during his seclusion. I hope Zelin can help bring the manuscript to Osenforte, which will be published and distributed by the college.

Joanna Cerberi took off her black military uniform, not only because it was stained with a lot of blood that was difficult to clean, but more importantly, this military uniform would now cause her trouble. After knowing that he had been involved in the power struggle for the imperial throne, Kenna was lost all day. This is not a good thing for her. She is just a well-known detective in the south, a lawyer, and many detectives and lawyers have disappeared or died accidentally because of being involved in dangerous cases.

"You have other options."

"I understand, I understand, but before the rebels are destroyed, I will not go back until the bodies of rebels hang on Millennium Square."

She originally thought that she had encountered a group of nobles who were plotting to rebel, or merchants who tried to make small moves in the eyes of the emperor. But in that battle, she read many pictures and memories from Skellen's thinking. This is not just a small rebellion, a small conspiracy. Only half of the empire was controlled by the nobles involved in the conspiracy that she knew, not to mention the generals and governors who controlled the legion.

If she returns to the Empire at this time, she will die or disappear in an accident before long. Even if she exposes the conspiracy of rebellion to the empire, she is likely to be arrested and interrogated. A bribed jailer, a few drops of poison from the desert can kill her.

"I know the judiciary of the empire very well. To be honest, I have always thought of them as a subordinate agency of the Intelligence Agency, a tool used by nobles and merchants to cover up conspiracies. What about the North? I never knew the North."

"Actually, there is not much difference between the South and the North."

At the door of Fysgta’s hut, the light-haired elves said goodbye to them. This elf agent has other things. She will be transferred through the channel of the Squirrel Party. She cannot directly expose the connection with Francesca and Hundred Flowers Valley, otherwise it will be a threat to other elves lurking in the south. Irresponsible performance. The old hermit has repeatedly urged, hoping that the demon hunter can guarantee that his painstaking efforts can reach the academy safely.

"I thought you were just... a detective."

"Actually I am." Kenna raised her face proudly, but then lowered her head to avoid the branches above her head. "I am the most qualified detective." She rubbed her hair. In civil cases, there will always be helpless people who come to me, begging me to help them. Most of them are looking for missing relatives, or friends who have a knife in their body but are forcibly said to be suicidal. And most of these cases have One thing in common."

"The investigators of the empire refused to take over such cases." Zelin helped her add.

The psionicist and the demon hunter went to the north together. After spending the whole night thinking about all the encounters he might encounter, Kenna decided to go to the north. Although for a native southerner, the north in her impression is backward, savage, does not take a bath all day, and can play on the bed to catch lice, to seek refuge in such a place has made her struggle in her heart for a long time, but Between the living environment and her head, she didn't struggle for too long. Especially after Zelin assured her that the elven residence in Hundred Flowers Valley was more beautiful and clean than many southern human towns.

After all, she still has options in the north, and if she goes back, the options are estimated to be the prison and the cemetery. Since the last time Emperor Enhill purged the army, any crime related to treason, even if there is only evidence that she walked with the rebels for a few days, she could be sent to the gallows.

"You are right. I took over these cases. I can at least tell them if their friends and relatives are still alive. Then I learned something I didn't want to know at all, until the situation was so dangerous that I needed to leave the lawyer. The office went outside to avoid the limelight, and in the end, someone I knew recommended me to join Skellen’s team."

Zelin talked about Kenna with Francesca in Telescope Communication. The elves showed great interest in the psionic powers of the South, especially the ability to read thoughts and even control thoughts. . In any case, Francesca is when he needs a helper, and Kenna's ability can help a lot. Not only for her, maybe the demon hunter will need her help in the future.

Along the way, they talked a lot about the North, about the South, and about the ongoing war. Winter is about to pass, but anyway, Kenna doesn’t want to be the same as Fresgata. Before she settles down, she finds herself back on the territory of the Nilfgard Empire, and finally becomes a hermit. For the rest of his life.

"Don't mind, you can change your face, if Nilfgard really wins the next war and takes the North."

"Change, change face?" Kenna was shocked. "Is the magic in the north so terrible?! No, I don't want it!"

"Well... you will know what I mean by then."

Zelin thought of the news he had heard in Rift City in Skyrim. A craftsman known as the face carver was at the headquarters of the Skyrim Thieves Guild. But when it comes to the Skyrim Thieves Guild, the Demon Hunter must think that he still has a debt issue with Jacqueline, the leader of the Thieves Guild, which has not yet been resolved. But this is after he returns to Skyrim. First of all, he must meet Francesca, go to Skyrim to help Gneia investigate the heretics who inquired about the Dragonborn, and then consider other things.

As the sun sets, the land of Aibin Province is shrouded in a dazzling sunset.

A land where gold and blood, opportunity and danger coexist, gold prospectors revel in the tavern, and gang members ride horses in the wilderness. Everything is going on, occasionally there will be news of the Northern War, and there are rumors that some people have found gold mines in the barren mountains further north. The demon hunters looked at the sunset in the distance, looked at the flock of crows flying in the sky, sighed, and waved to Kenna. They rode horses and left this wild land.

Chapter 844 The True Enemy

"Hi, Geralt, your mental state and living conditions are better than I expected."

Although the external war is in full swing, Towson still maintains a peaceful and stable life like a paradise. Ranger knights surrounded the towns and streets, especially after the band of thieves of Four Fingers Philip was destroyed, everything in the Principality has been on the right track. Even the monsters that pop up from time to time, there will be demon hunters in the northern part of the Principality. The hunter comes to solve it. Unless there is a large-scale war or unforeseen natural disasters, there will be no trouble that can threaten the locals in this land.

"Are you going to tease me too?"

There are always so many festivals in Towson. If there is no festival, people will search for books, recall important events in the past, find out the days worth celebrating in the past, and create one holiday after another. The day Zelin destroyed the Four Finger Philip thieves here last year is now one of Towson’s many celebrations, although Zelin doesn’t know what to celebrate for those living in Bowkerland, thieves In the northern wilderness, the residents of Buckland have never been affected, but Regis said a very reasonable sentence to explain the reason.

Without these festivals worth looking forward to celebrating, people's lives would seem too boring and boring.

The people in the tavern are playing festive games, divination and guessing. Although the results are similar every time, people are always happy about it. Yesterday, Zelin finally stepped into the border of Towsonte. There was no danger along the way. In the border town of Ebin, they also encountered a gang fire, but those gang members apparently killed their heads and chased them all the way. Arrived in Towsonte's territory, now the two groups of hostile gang members are safely locked in Towsonte's cell.

"I'm just telling the truth." Zelin waved his hand. "As for Hiri, one thing can be confirmed. She is not life-threatening now, but as long as Wigwarts is still there, he will definitely find other ways to find Hiri."

Compared with Nilfgard's Imperial Intelligence Agency, Wigwarts's search ability is obviously stronger, and no one knows how many magical or terrifying things he has created in his own laboratory. Magic props that can realize long-distance instant communication with low consumption, as well as human experiments. The latter is explicitly prohibited, but since Wigwarts will conduct human experiments, other prohibitions set by the order in the past, whether it is necromantic magic or demon summoning, he may already be familiar with, or even proficient. .

"We need to find the whereabouts of Wigwarts Castle first." Jello nodded. "Thank you for everything you did for Hilly. Now we know who the real enemy is."

Kenna is talking with Francesca, and the elf wants to get information directly from the psionicist. Geralt also encountered a killer from Wigwarts along the way. A half-elf named Qilus was the killer who tried to assassinate the lawyer Curdin and Finn on the eve of the coup in Sinide. However, Qilus fell into the trap of the local druid when he was chasing and killing him. Compared with his colleague Rains, he was far more unlucky.

When they arrived in North Kos, they also rescued a girl named Angola. A war orphan, a girl who joined the gang, warned Geralt and his party before they were about to be ambushed.

"Wigwarts, no matter what he wants, Duchess Anna has given me a lot of help. She opened up her private library to me and allowed me to search for any information that might be related to Wigwarts in Tousent."

"And Viscount Julian?"

"Yes, when Dandrien came to Towsonte, he suddenly became a viscount, the celebrity in front of Duchess Anna."

"Still the old lover of the past."

After speaking, they all laughed. After tasting a sip of Towson's red wine, the celebrating crowd burst into cheers. Geralt and his team are going to spend this winter in Towson, but it seems that Towson is suitable for everyone. The best one should be Regis. Elegant conversation, became a frequent talker of Taozant’s ladies. Cahill and the chessboard knight Leonard became friends, and Milva, the huntress, met a baron who lived east of Bowkerland. They were in There are many common topics in hunting. As for Angola, this girl who looks quite similar to Xili is planning to open a brothel.

Zelin cleared his throat and continued to ask.

"Are there any results from your investigation now?"
