The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World

(Additional chapter for Shocker's Glory Forever and Goblin's Difficulty, thanks to Shocker's Glory Forever for the past three months of support. Thank you! Comrade Goblin's Difficulty, isn't it a bit too much to send a blade?)

Although the extraordinary Hekna-Melushin has been killed, Marvin has not received any hints about the task, and Gaunt O'Dimm has not appeared.

Regarding the curse, the only clues left are the two old priests.

Marvin took the two old men to the dock and interrogated them in the empty house where Geralt and his family of three had been hiding.

Ned blocked the door and Modus was on the roof to prevent others from approaching.

Marvin didn't let others listen, firstly because he was worried that someone would come to mess up and destroy his task progress; secondly, it was related to Gaunt O'Dimm, an extraordinary guy, and it would be easy for ordinary people to get involved.

The "Ice Blue Storm" that Marvin used to kill the Sirens was no less than a "miracle" to these ignorant islanders. He also publicly killed Melusin, who the islanders had always worshipped as a god. Geralt and Yennefer, who knew magic, had a good relationship, and no one interrupted the interrogation process.

Not only were the ignorant islanders shocked, but the two old priests, who were the spokespersons of the gods, also had their worldviews collapsed. Why did they say that...

Marvin actually asked two questions.

1. Where is Melusin's lair?

2. Do you know a pirate named "Leogen", who may be a person from a long time ago.

First, the lair of Melusin and some Sirens is on the sea cliff on the south side of Spiekeroog Island, which is almost inaccessible to ordinary people.

Second, they really know "Leogen".

In the "history" passed down by word of mouth in the Melusin religion, there are two important characters in the origin story of the sect, one is the "Sea Witch-Focaccia" who appears as Melusin's mother, and the other is the "Immortal Leogen" who appears as a villain.

Why Leogen is a villain is unclear. In the stories of the priests, he just betrayed the sea witch-Focaccia, so he was given a tragic fate of being unable to die.

Not only can he not die, Leogen can never touch the sea water.

In the ancient rumors of the sect, Leogen was exiled to a desolate island north of Spiekrug because of his sins. Because he can't touch the sea water, Leogen can never leave that deserted island.

At that time, no one would drive a boat to save a sinner like him... and now, no one has seen Leogen for a long, long time, and no one knows if he is still alive.

According to the old priest, no one now remembers which of the small islands in the north is Leogen's exile place.

They don't even confirm whether the legend is true? Does Leogen really exist?

…

Melucin’s lair is actually on a concave cliff on the southeast side of the island. The cave entrance cannot be seen from the sea or from above the cliff. It can only be seen by someone leading the way or flying into the concave place from the air.

The entrance of the cave is on the cliff more than ten meters above the sea surface, and the cave is also ten meters away from the top of the cliff. It is indeed very difficult for ordinary people to enter.

But Marvin is not an ordinary person. It is not difficult for him to enter.

After entering the more than three-meter-wide cave entrance, he went down the rocky slope to the bottom of the cave, which was full of stagnant water and the stench of monster feces.

CryNet Biochemical Suit 3.0 Boots.

The most satisfactory thing about this pair of boots for Marvin is the kicking bonus, and the second is that it is absolutely waterproof.

Otherwise, the sea water filled with feces at the bottom of the cave, which has been silted up for who knows how many years, would cause his feet to suffer a great punishment.

There is no danger in the cave. Marvin spent two hours searching inch by inch, and finally he found something useful.

There were many bones scattered on a reef that was above the water. At the bottom of the pile of broken bones was a worn leather bag.

The patterns of the past, sea fish, waves and shells, could still be vaguely seen on the broken leather bag.

There were several pieces of parchment in the leather bag. Marvin carefully separated the pieces of parchment and took photos of them with his naked eyes.

The paper and the text should have been blessed by magic to be preserved for so many years in such a bad environment.

Even so, one-third of the handwriting was still unrecognizable.

This was a suicide note written in ancient elven language, the suicide note of the sea witch - Focaccia.

Elliron language and ancient elven language are very similar.

It seems that the long-lost branch of sea witches, spellcasters, also originated from elven magic.

In the first part of the suicide note, Focaccia described his simple and happy single life and magical journey.

The middle part of the suicide note was a long sweet memory of meeting the pirate Leogen.

The first two meals were seriously missing, and Marvin could only read roughly.

The last paragraph of the suicide note has a big change in style.

The change comes from a death.

Leogen died in a robbery, and Focaccia resurrected this philandering pirate at the cost of his own life.

This is definitely true love, but Leogen still can't change his habit of thinking with his lower body...

Focaccia used extremely resentful language to describe Leogen's debauchery, promiscuity and excessive drinking.

The sea witch wanted to kill this scumbag, but doing so could not quell the hatred and resentment in Focaccia's heart.

So she prayed to the sea, but got a response from the devil...

At that time, the sea witch was willing to give anything for revenge, even her soul.

The contract was established.

She wanted Leogen, the scumbag, to live forever and watch her female offspring being torn apart and eaten by monsters one by one!

However, the devil said that "forever" is impossible, and neither can the gods... Then, at least 50 girls must die!

The price of the contract is that Focaccia must jump off the cliff and fall to death under the sea cliff.

The body was dragged into the cave by the siren and eaten, and the soul was taken away by the devil...

Gaunt O'Dimm said that the curse can be lifted now, which means that 50 female descendants of Riogen have died.

As for how many innocent girls were eaten by Melusin during this period, no one knows.

How to lift the curse? There is only one clue left, to find the "eternal Riogen".

Regarding the legendary island where Riogen was exiled, the old priest only gave Marvin a range. There are seven or eight islands of different sizes in that sea area, and some have been found...

...

While Marvin was interrogating the two old priests, Geralt, Yennefer, Ciri, and four Kelet returned to Little Skellige Island on a longboat.

After receiving the report from Kratz, King Bran decided to list Melusinism as a cult, prohibiting belief and spreading.

This kind of regulation is not without precedent.

The "Svalblodism" that once spread throughout the archipelago was confirmed as a cult because it was too bloody and cruel and was prohibited from spreading. "Svalblod" was also recognized as an evil god and was not allowed to be believed.

The cause of that cult incident was that the Welka Bear Berserkers who believed in "Svalblod" caused an irreversible massacre.

Compared with that time, this "Melusin incident" is much easier to handle, after all, even the "god" being worshipped has been killed.

On the way back to the residence in the castle, Geralt and the other two, the sorceress found that Ciri was a little bit wrong.

The little girl suddenly became silent, and her freckled face was full of entanglement and anxiety.

Yennefer did not let Ciri return to her room alone, but took her back to her and Geralt's room.

After pressing the little girl to sit on the chair, ignoring the puzzled demon hunter, Yennefer leaned on the table and asked, "Ciri, tell me, what's wrong with you?"

Ciri answered irrelevantly, "I want a glass of water."

The sorceress glanced at the demon hunter, and Geralt reluctantly picked up the pottery jar and poured a glass of water for the little girl.

"Gulp gulp... ha..." Ciri wiped her mouth with her sleeve without any image, holding the mug in both hands and said with lifeless eyes, "I'm so useless..."

White Wolf finally found that the little girl was not in a good state. He picked up a chair and sat down, put his arm on the back of the chair and listened carefully.

"Everyone is fighting, even Hjalmar can carry a shield to resist monsters, and I..."

Ciri looked frustrated, "I can't even hold the wooden sword steadily... I'm like a burden, I can't help at all..."

"Yes, you are a burden." Yennefer confirmed unceremoniously.

"Ye..." Geralt just opened his mouth and was stopped by the sorceress's eyes.

Yennefer added: "But this only applies to now. You are indeed a burden now."

Ciri looked up at the sorceress and asked with a flat mouth: "What should I do?"

"Practice, study..." Geralt replied, "Remember what your grandmother and Marvin said? You are the blood of the ancients, and you must learn everything that can protect yourself."

"Geralt!" Yennefer asked in surprise: "Is Ciri the blood of the ancients?"

"Yes, yes..." Ciri hurriedly answered.

"Wait!" The sorceress stopped the girl's excitement, and then opened the door and went out to look at the corridors on the left and right, closed the door, and looked out the window again, no one was there.

Yennefer covered the small living room with a soundproof barrier and asked, "How did you know?"

Ciri raised her hand and whispered, "Marvin told my grandmother, and Geralt was there. My grandmother told me later."

Yennefer looked at the white wolf, and Geralt nodded and said, "Marvin is also an ancient blood. Do you remember his sudden flash to the sky during the battle?"

"So that's how it is..." The sorceress suddenly realized, "Then everything makes sense. Why did he appear in Cintra..."
