The Journey of the Demon Hunter

The first thousand and seventy-six chapters new colleague, old friend

Looking at the crowded road in front of him, Zelin couldn't help but wonder if he had gone in the wrong place. It is rare to encounter so many people on the road at the same time, people holding their livestock, farming carts parked by the side of the road at will, and a commercial carriage at the end of the line, blocked at the back, the road is full of people, but really Crowded is the bridge connecting Vizima and Willen Marsh. Everyone was crowded together, so that the old bridge body did not stop shaking under the chaotic trampling of the beasts and the pushing crowd.

There is only one bridge here. The soldiers of Temoria set up an outpost on the bridgehead. There are about a dozen soldiers maintaining order. Zelin also noticed that there were two crossbowmen standing in the attic of the outpost, looking around. Prevent people from swimming over the nearby river beach. Thirty other soldiers were sitting in the outpost, surrounded by the extinguished bonfire.

Everyone wants to cross the river as soon as possible, as if there is a monster behind them chasing them. If you can't cross the river today, you will definitely die here. But the soldiers holding the spears made sure that no one dared to jump in the queue, and in the dense forests on both sides of the nearby river, there was no need for soldiers to patrol. Not far from the outpost, the demon hunter noticed the presence of the magic vine flower. .

"Always line up, line up for me, or I will kick you back from the bridge!"

"Everyone must be checked! Everyone must be checked before they can cross the river!"

Even more striking are the doctors on the bridge wearing crow masks who are examining pedestrians. This attire is often seen in urban morgues. In fact, Zelin has seen similar masks in Yanan and Rome. It seems that no matter which world it is in, humans have similarities in their thinking patterns.

Rasti looked at the checkpoint with satisfaction, and said to the demon hunter, "When I applied for permission to investigate, I warned the king and told him to control the movement of people here. He listened to my advice."

"Fortunately, no one dares to be stupid about the plague."

After the outbreak of the plague, if a large number of people near the plague area flood into the Vizima area, the most densely populated area of ​​Tamoria. Even if only a few people have infectious diseases, the consequences are hard to imagine. In this regard, everyone is moving very fast, and the recommendations made a few days ago have now begun to establish checkpoints.

"Sir, are you going across the bridge? If you are travelers, I advise you to turn around and leave."

A man with the rank of ten captain on his shoulder shook his head at Zelin, "You didn't come at the right time. You definitely don't know what happened in the marshland over there."

"Plague, we know that we are here for this."

Rasti’s answer was beyond the tenth chief’s expectation. He shook his head, slapped, and looked at the three carriages behind, which made them look like traveling businessmen.

"You are doctors? Well, I haven't received such an order. No one told me that a doctor is coming. But...Come on, we will clear a way for you in a while. Oh, yes, today A mage came, and he also said that he was going to investigate the plague. He is in the outpost now, saying that he will wait until tomorrow morning before leaving."

Zelin raised his head and glanced at the sunset that was falling behind the mountain.

"Let's set off again tomorrow. The swamp at night is very dangerous."

Rasty nodded and walked to the coachmen behind and asked them to drive the coach to the outer wall near the camp. It can be seen that the captain was slightly relieved, the wooden bridge was crowded with people, but the mask doctor also checked one by one to make sure that the people who crossed the bridge did not have any symptoms of infectious diseases. At this time, three horse-drawn carriages are required to cross the bridge, and it is estimated that everyone on the bridge must return. This is not an easy task when everyone is in a hurry to cross the river.

When Zelin walked into the camp, he saw the unusual black robe among the soldiers at a glance. He sat by the red bonfire and chatted with nearby soldiers, and the dim fire color slightly reflected the afterimage of the caravan parked in a circle. Although it is early summer, the temperature at night is still very cold. Those soldiers seemed willing to surround the wizard, as if this would ensure that they were immune to the plague. These soldiers were wearing masks, and it was certain that something bad must have happened in the coastal areas, so that everyone knew about the outbreak of the plague and caused a lot of panic.

"Dole Gare, why are you here?"

Zelin rolled over and got off his horse, trapping the reins on the stakes in the stables of the camp. Rasti and Little Erola are talking with the commander of this checkpoint to learn about the situation in the swamp.

Hearing the voice of the demon hunter, the black-robed mage stood up, took off the hood on his forehead, revealing the wrinkles on his forehead and the gray hair on the temples.

"Look at who this is. If I don't admit it, this is not Zelin from Mahakam Castle! I guess no one will pretend to be him."

"I can't deceive money by pretending to be me, maybe I will take my life in." Zelin moved his shoulders and looked at the familiar old mage in front of him. "Why did you come here? There are no endangered animals that need to be protected. Shouldn’t you go to Covel? I heard that the fisherman of Covel found some kind of huge fish with water spouting on the back far away from the coast. I thought you should have already arrived, maybe this It's some kind of magical magical creature."

"I really want to go to Corville, but the plague made me change itinerary." Dolgaray wiped his gray beard. "It was supposed to be Kaduin of the Blue Mountains, but he was recently investigating the remains of the ancient city of Lomune in the Blue Mountains, so I, as the official tutor of the Ben Ade Academy, voted to send me to investigate the plague."

"Should you not go to Osenfurt first to meet us?"

"I came from Sidaris, so I just rushed over."

Dullegare and Zelin talked about the situation in the Kingdom of Sidaris. He is the magical advisor of King Sidaris. The country on the peninsula has begun to have a spreading plague. No one knows how the plague started. It seems that one day, a coastal pier town suddenly fell into the plague. The king has sealed off the entire area and began to organize people to go in and burn the corpses.

"Are you hired by Osenfurt Academy? Are you going to investigate the plague too?"

"Yes, and it's still free to hire. If the plague breaks out, it will be no good to any of us." Zelin looked around. "By the way, do you know who is here at Eritusa Academy? The great tutor Tisha Ya? Or Margarita?"

"I don't know, but the people of Eritusa College must go here to the plague area. We will know..." Suddenly, Zelin heard another commotion outside the camp, and there was a woman walking. Disputes with soldiers. The demon hunter turned his head and looked at the gate of the checkpoint camp "...maybe we will know it now."

The first thousand and seventy-six chapters: the source of the plague

Zelin should have guessed it.

Marty, the therapist Tishaya could send over is probably the only one left. Originally, Eritusa College basically did not offer many medical courses. After the coup, the medical courses were even more stagnant because there were no students. In the entire college, it is estimated that only this female doctor would do nothing all day long.

"Is there no place to take a bath here? I can pay. Also, other than these brown bread that can be used as rocks, is there no other food?"

When Zelin walked out of the checkpoint to check the situation, he happened to see Marty scratching his fiery red curly hair, complaining to the captain.

"Madam, of course there is a place where you can take a bath. This river, just jump from the bridge." The long-faced ten Fu had a stern face. "A lady like you can definitely be self-reliant. There are a lot of fish in the river. We are now Very busy, you better go to Vizima to sell yourself."

It's nothing more than Marty will be misunderstood. The sorcerer always likes to let herself go, wearing those maverick self-made clothes. However, most of these clothes have a characteristic, that is, there is very little fabric. But fortunately, this time she also knew that she was here to investigate the plague, not to go to a dance party, and put a light brown cloak on the outside. If you want to say what advantages Marty has, it is probably knowing when to be serious.

"Marty, here!"

Marty, who was carrying a sad expression, raised her head in confusion, and turned her head in the direction of the sound. After noticing that the demon hunter was standing not far away, the expression on her face was instantly swept away, revealing a look of surprise. She led her workhorse towards this side, and the captain behind her breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and waved his hand at the soldiers who were peeking at the place, beckoning them to focus on maintaining order.

"Why are you here? Wow, that's lucky, we meet again."

Zelin took the hand Marty handed over and kissed it lightly. All female warlocks want a kiss when they say hello, because only the duchess deserves a kiss, and Marty is no exception. In informal situations, this is the most appropriate way to say hello.

"Are you here to hunt monsters? Or received a commission? I happen to have a commission here. Would you like to accept it?" I can clearly feel the female warlock's bumpy figure, and the reverie that makes people guess whether there is any clothes under the loose cloak tightly wrapped in her, "I am going to investigate the plague area nearby, but I am only one person for the time being, I I want to hire you...for a month, how about it? It just so happens that the tent I prepared can accommodate two people."

Zelin pulled out his arm calmly, Marty raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and a trace of dissatisfaction appeared in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I have accepted the employment from Osenfurt."

"Who?"

"And we all have the same purpose. The people from Oceanford College and Ben Ader College have already arrived."

"So that's the case?" Marty smiled. "It doesn't matter, where is your carriage? You have to say that there is no tent, you are always welcome to come to me. Oh, by the way, how about the twin sister in your castle? ?"

"Why did you suddenly ask this?"

"Can't I just care about the patients in the past? I am a person of professional ethics."

"They are fine now." Zelin told Marty about the young Yousefka's going to work in Osenfurt. After listening, the female doctor didn't make any comments. She just rubbed her forehead, looking upset, and the demon hunter looked strange.

While chatting, Zelin knew that Marty had recently purchased a house in Novigrad and was about to open a new clinic. In a few days, she might have to visit Mahakam, about a new mutation research, and preparations for another apprentice's trial of grass. I heard that many sorcerers and wizards have purchased real estate and villas in Novigrad or nearby suburbs, because under the management of the local bishop of Eternal Fire Chapei, Liberty City is becoming more and more acceptable. People, and Liberty City is independent of the various kingdoms, so after the coup on Sinide Island, many mages chose here as their back road.

In the camp, Marti, Dulle Gare and Rasti met. Dulle Gare was more of a biologist, and Marti and Rasti were professional doctors. They sat around the bonfire. Discuss possible sources about the source of the plague. As for Zelin, he is not a doctor, so he sat and listened, and by the way, he polished the silver sword in his hand with a sharpening stone. The last time we fought against the monsters summoned by Wigwarts, this silver sword suffered considerable damage. Fortunately, the quality of the master-class weapons was much better than other weapons.

Professional things should be left to professional people.

"This plague first started here."

Dolgaray took out a folded map of the Sidaris Peninsula from a pocket, and put a dot on it, "Logue Pattern City, a coastal town, and then Novigrad in the north and Novigrad in the south. Verden. One thing is certain, the spread of the plague is taking place in coastal areas."

"Is it a fish? The plague comes from a half-murloc?" Marty was sitting on a wooden chair with one hand on his side, raising his eyes slightly to look at Lasti and Dolgaray. "If the plague comes from half-murlocs living underwater, it makes sense why human society has not seen similar infectious diseases before."

"It's mainland society." Rasty corrected.

"Sorry, Professor Milo. Yes, it's land society." Marty bowed her head slightly to apologize. "I think we'd better find the source and spread of the plague as soon as possible, Siren? Hekna? These sea-related monsters may become dangerous carriers."

"There are seabirds," Dole Gare added. "There have been precedents of seabirds carrying infectious diseases from Ofir in the past."
