The Journey of the Demon Hunter

The first thousand two hundred and seventeen chapters adjust the tiger away from the mountain

"Look, a kid who went astray."

Suddenly, the strange sound in the ear made Amelia throw the dagger subconsciously, and the flying knife plunged into the wooden wall with a buzzing tremor.

The figure of Scott Edmund appeared on the chair behind the wooden table. Bishop Aries took a deep breath and assumed a pose ready for the attack, but at this moment, she suddenly noticed that the figure and the table full of skulls overlapped.

"Ah, I remember you, that player who defeated me on purpose several times in a row, the only foreign girl who made it to the final." Edmund's vision slapped his hands, showing a vicious expression. "You should stay at home and help your mother wash clothes instead of stealing money from other places to participate in games that adults can only play! The person with you should be your sister? A beautiful woman, The mice here and the piranhas in the water must be happy to enjoy a good meal."

Amelia didn't speak, she just looked at the other side calmly. She doesn't understand the magic of this world, but she can also know that this must be a false illusion, and the real Edmund is not here. But it is certain that he must have done something here, just when people just boarded the ship, even a few days ago.

"It's all flames. What do you think there is here, girl? Who sent you here? Who sent you to inquire about this big bet? I know the details and origins of everyone. Who are you? Pei asked you to come? A Redanian? A Tamorian? Or a Kovir?"

"I'm here to find something that should belong to me." Amelia's small eyes looked around, taking as much as possible into all the corners of this rectangular cabin. "Where is my championship medal?"

The phantom laughed loudly.

"If I were your father, I should sell you to a brothel after you become addicted to card games. Can you still not tell what is going on now? You are about to die!"

"What?" Amelia put on a face that didn't understand anything, and asked with wide eyes in confusion, "This ship caught fire, then? Isn't that the way it is?"

"This flame will be the beginning of my rule over Novigrad. Those fools who try to challenge me and divide the city will die in this fire. People will only know that this is an accident. Some fools try to stop ships carrying the plague from entering. Port, they will only find some meaningless ships and this broken ship about to sink!"

On the sea almost a thousand meters away from the Novigrad Wharf, a dilapidated and old Nilfgaard cargo ship is slowly advancing towards the south of Novigrad Wharf, driven by the waves. It carries plague and death, hidden in the fog, wind and rain. There were very few guards on that pier, and the ship guarding that place had already set off with the demon hunters and wizards to deal with the cruise ship.

Place the source of the plague on a cruise ship, and then use an old ship full of infected corpses to transport the real plague ship in.

Tune the tiger away from the mountain.

The baron’s vision opened his arms. "The plague will sweep the world and be cured. When people later mention it, they will mention that the great businessman and philanthropist Scott Edmund saved Nor from the plague. Vigre, and made a great contribution to this world. People will call me a saint, support me to become the mayor of Novigrad, rule the market and fleet of the free city, and pass this largest trading market in the North , I will become a person who influences this world!"

"They will catch you."

"No, no, they will only find that a poor baron was kidnapped by a cult in his own home, and then a pretender planned all this. This is really a tragedy, and in order not to paralyze the market in Novigrad, let those poor There is nowhere for the workers of the country to go. The baron who was rescued by the searchers will kindly accept the entire market and use compensation money to plug everyone’s mouth."

"Oh, that's it." Amelia looked at the vain man in front of her lightly, how could she not understand the purpose of what the other party said. What's the problem with telling a little girl who doesn't understand anything when the plan is about to succeed? Apart from the exclamation and shock of others, there will be no problems.

He must have thrown everyone else down, including those around him. Obviously, no one can flatter him when he is about to be done, making him uncomfortable.

So she asked indifferently, "...Where is my championship medal?"

"Of course, it has nothing to do with you, an insignificant little girl. I will tell you what you can't understand what will happen!" The phantom seemed a little annoyed. He could not see the other person's astonishment, nor could he hear anything. The voice begging for mercy, and there was no angry reprimand, as if all his plans might not be as valuable as a meaningless championship medal in the eyes of the little girl in front of him.

"This illusion is just for me to ensure that everything here can be implemented smoothly. Bring your badge and be burned here, little bitch!"

The illusion disappeared, and a medal representing the champion was placed on the top of the skull pile on the desktop. Obviously, no one really cares about this. Maybe Amelia’s participation makes this game a gambling game.

This is indeed a gamble for her.

She ran to the floor next to the table in two steps, got down and fumbled on the ground. Outside the door behind, the flames had already burned, the broken wooden planks had completely blocked the corridor outside the door, and the stairs made an overwhelming popping sound under the burning of the flames. After the illusion disappeared, the room seemed to have returned to normal. The heat waves from outside flooded in, making Amelia's forehead covered with drops of sweat.

She was right the first time that the fire and even the ship were not bait for another bigger conspiracy. Although the process of learning this information was much simpler than she expected.

Soon, she sighed.

She was right.

Amelia's nails caught the cracks in the floor and lifted up forcefully. The ship board was opened, and there was a secret room below. Amelia jumped down, and it was very dim inside. With the help of the fire from above, she saw several small boats docked here, two of which should have been docked are no longer visible. A gap was opened in the cabin at the lowest level, just to allow the small boat inside to slide into the water along the sloping board. These wooden boats were basically burned down, but for Amelia's small body, the large wooden planks that allowed her to float were already called wooden boats.

It seems that Baron Edmund left here just after he got on the ship and gave a speech to people.

Amelia jumped on one of the ships, and the flames had begun to cover the room above. She grabbed the oars against the planks behind the canoe, and then pushed hard, and the ship she was on slid down the **** into the surging sea.

Just leaving the cruise ship, on the side of the ship, Amelia stood up and shouted at the cruise ship, "Canya, can you hear me!"

She is a little worried about whether the Dragonborn is still looking for her on the burning ship about to sink. Amelia still knows a little bit about Gnaiya. If Zelin asks her to protect herself, before she is sure of her safety, she Never leave alone.

Then, a familiar voice came from the other side.

"Amelia, why are you there!"

At this time, Bishop Aries noticed that there were several more ships nearby, and Novigrad’s armed ships had already surrounded the area. After hearing her voice, Zelin and Gnaiya poked their heads from the side of the burning cruise ship, just in time to see Amelia on the floating planks appearing between the two ships.

Not just one person is looking for her.

Amelia sat on the board and waved to it, "Pull me up, I have something very important to tell you!"

A rope was dropped from the Cook. Bishop Aries grabbed the rope, and someone pulled her up from the floating plank. The demon hunter and the dragonborn left the huge cruise ship that was disintegrating in the flames and jumped onto the brig below. After Amelia stood firm, Zelin walked over.

"What are you doing? We have been looking for you. We thought you were trapped in the cabin below while looking for Edmund!"

"If you don't come out again, we will consider tearing down the deck and go straight down to find you." Long Yi added from the side. "You didn't take my words to heart at all, time has passed. But what did you find?"

"Finding nothing will allow you to take risks like this." Zelin shook his head. "If you are a little later, you will be burned to death on this ship!"

"I guess you will have a way to pull me up again. Remember to bring a dress in advance." Amelia joked, but then she put away her smile.

Amelia scratched her hair wet by rain and sea water. The ship was sailing away from the disintegrating giant ship, and flames came out of it from time to time. She took a deep breath and said to Zelin, "You are all being tricked, Edmund has left, go back to the city, this cruise ship is just bait, the real plague ship is about to dock."

"The source of the plague is on this ship, and we have already killed it. No matter what you hear, it will not be able to spread the plague again." Zelin took out a glass bottle with half a bottle of evil spirit dust inside. That was the trace left by the plague demon spirit after its death. The demon hunter and the dragonborn, with the assistance of two wizards, killed it by hand. This demon spirit's resentment was very powerful, but under this combination, it was still wiped out cleanly.

"But Edmund's hand is not the source of the plague, it is the corpse carrying the plague." Amelia sighed. "There is no time to explain, hurry up and go to Novigrad, I will use the land I'll explain it to you in a few minutes."

Chapter 1218: The second person behind the scenes

Ambition, dream.

How common and many extravagant words are for humans.

Edmund stood on the observation deck in his villa in the upper zone, looking at the sea in the distance. This observation deck was specially built by him in the villa. From above, he could see all the piers and ports in the Xiacheng District, as well as the ships coming and going. Since he used the reputation of big gambling games to earn wealth, the ships coming and going up and down these ports have become a problem for him.

Every ship may carry the cargo of his enemy, and every ship may inject new blood into his opponent.

Ten years ago, he defeated his competitors and started sponsoring big gambling games and profiting from it. The good reputation before the big gambling games has almost been replaced by gold. As for how many people who originally wanted to participate in the game ended up in debt, that was not something he wanted to care about. Edmund did not remember how many people owed debts, but he accurately remembered how many people still owed debts.

The profits brought by big bets are less than each year, and more and more people know what exactly he, Baron Edmund, started his career. He must make a change to ensure that his interests will last forever.

The rain has been much lighter, but the sky is still gloomy. The pier in the distance seemed empty. In fact, there was no one on the pier. He had already handled everything. He only had to tell the pier steward that he wanted to rent a pier temporarily to make room for him. The owners of those piers and warehouses should now be on that **** cruise ship, or rather, in the belly of rats and piranhas. For this plan, he boarded his own best cruise ship in Novigrad.

But all this is worth it.

"That ship is coming."

A woman stretched out her hand to press down the branches of the pomegranate tree behind, and reached out to pluck a greenish fruit. As if hearing the sound from under the observation deck, Edmund leaned on his armchair and said to himself. "The cursing potion you sold to me works well, but the woman has disappeared and is probably already sober. This is not the same as what you promised me at the beginning. I know why you came to Novigrad today. , Your potion is too expensive, and the effect is not as good as I expected. I won't give you all the money, you can only take half of it."

The woman behind the fruit tree broke the immature pomegranate, and after a few bites, she spoke. "I don't care what you do with my potion. I only sell things, but you can't buy a kitchen knife at the stall and say it's okay. After a few days, if the knife is rusted, you won't pay."

"Unless you have a potion to help me find people, or other spells, I must find Kelin Tilly and kill her before she can prove anything against me." Edmund looked down. On the sea, ships that can defend the coast of Novigrad have been sent to the open sea to deal with those plague ships, and soon, the real plague will sweep Novigrad. Some of his enemies, or those who would threaten his next plan, did not go on the cruise ship, but the plague can conceal all evidence of murder. During the plague raging period, no matter who died, it would not be surprising, whether he was a beggar on the roadside or a king on the throne.
