The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World

(This chapter recommends a less suitable but very DIAO background music "Lost In Love". Singer: Alvin Lee.)

The businessman said with confused eyes: "It's a dragon. I don't know if it's a dragon. The pigs who came back from the caravan said that the monster had long curved horns, flew in the sky, and could spit fireballs. I had no choice but to hire a demon hunter." people.

I said I could pay 30 orens. I said the high price just wanted the witcher to kill the monster quickly. But later I regretted it, I lost 2 loads of goods, I already lost money, and I still had to give that weirdo 30 orens. I won't give it to him!

Who knew that freak would dare to hit me? He actually beat me and took away my money. I lost the goods, I lost the money, and I want him to pay.

I have a very good relationship with the Baron. As long as I give the greedy squire a little money, the stupid Baron can speak for me. I want that mutant freak to be captured and locked up in a dungeon. No one can beat Cadoun without paying the price..."

The noise in the audience became louder and louder, and the expressions on the faces of the baron and the chamberlain became increasingly ugly. Marvin looked at the businessman who was still talking about his thoughts. He didn't expect that this businessman's spiritual resistance was so weak. It didn't take much effort to persuade him to say everything.

The ability to damage everyone in one sentence is also quite explosive.

Ignoring the businessman who was still chattering, Marvin walked up to the Baron and said: "The truth is out, Baron. Ask your people to let go of the Witcher. I have something to do with him. Deal with your trouble quickly."

Baron Dagram said to the squire with a dark face: "Let go of the witcher."

"Give him the weapon back."

The baron waved his hand impatiently.

…

In the tavern, His Royal Highness the Prince and the Demon Hunter sat on opposite sides of the table...

Looking at the black-haired young man who was drinking apple juice, the witcher said, "Are you ten...eighteen years old? Are you still drinking apple juice? When I was this old, Vesemir already drank dwarf liquor."

Marvin replied nonchalantly: "I remember I said I don't drink. Have you forgotten?"

"Who cares what a kid says?"

"That's why you are today." The prince spread his hands.

"Hey, it was an accident."

"Speaking of which, didn't your mentor Vesemir teach you that you should run away early when encountering such a situation? How could you be caught?"

"Oh~, I drank too much. Three nights ago, I got money from that businessman and was drinking here. I accidentally drank too much. They caught me in the middle of the night."

Marvin tapped his fingers on his glass and said, "That's why I don't drink."

The witcher quickly changed the subject and asked, "By the way, what should I call you now?"

"Marvin of Vizima."

"What a country name."

"Wouldn't that be better?"

"Maybe. What are you doing here? Are you alone?"

"Looking for something. I've come a long way. It's enough for one person."

"What are you looking for? Maybe I can help." Demon hunter Norn was still very grateful for the prince's help.

Marvin took out the painting of a magical place and placed it on the table.

"This thing."

"Well, I have indeed seen a few. There is also one in Kaer Morhen."

"What you said is useless. You won't let me go to Kaer Morhen."

"I only remember Kaer Morhan, but I can't remember the rest."

"Forget it, there's a lot of news now."

"That's right. It's really not difficult for you to find this thing."

Marvin asked the witcher: "What about you? Where to go next?"

"Go south, to Soden or Brugu, there is little business in Temeria." Norn replied.

"I have definite news. A group of mages are going to attack the Griffin Sect because of their collection of books. You, Kaer Morhen, also have a lot of books in your collection. I would like to remind you very seriously that Kaer Morhen should be more vigilant."

"That's it... Got it, then I'll change the route and take a detour back. Thanks."

"Nothing. I may join forces with the Griffin Faction to deal with these mages. Ask your mentor if you are interested in participating?"

Marvin has not reached an agreement with the Griffin Faction on this matter. The significance of saying this is to increase the persuasiveness and make the Wolf Faction more likely to participate.

In turn, he can also use the statement "The Wolf Faction is coming too" to increase his persuasiveness against the Griffin Faction. In the end, if you can successfully participate, you can get benefits from both sides.

"I guess Vesemir won't be interested."

"Then let him come even more? Let's see how those mages plan to deal with Kel Siren. I also let you know how big the trouble is this time, so that you don't worry about it."

"Why are you so..."

"Save it, it's just you Wolf Faction and Gryphon Faction, I don't have a good impression of the others. I've already killed a Cat Faction."

"Huh? Did he mess with you?"

"He was hired to kidnap me."

"Oh, that's no wonder. You have to be careful when going out alone this time."

Marvin waved his hand: "Okay, the chat is over, I have to rush on my way. You should also leave early, lest the baron trouble you again."

It was just after noon, and there was still time to rush to the next stop.

"Okay, I'm leaving too. What a hell this trip is."

The two of them gave a special handshake, holding each other's right forearm firmly, and then separated...

After leaving the tavern, they mounted their horses and left Canoas from different directions...

…

Marvin's next step will be to go south to Mokun to find the magic place, and then hire a boat to go down the river to Maribo to find the ruins of Alzu.

In the afternoon, when passing by the col, a cry for help came from behind a rock not far away, "Help, help...".

He didn't bother to care, and didn't expect any adventures.

He didn't expect luck in his previous life.

The black horse Ned stepped on the dirt road, splashing dust all over the ground, without slowing down...

"Stop!"

A few men walked out from behind the rocks in the narrow road ahead, and one of them raised a hammer and smashed it head-on.

"Shh~"

Ned was so shocked that he stood up... stepped back a few steps, and breathed white air anxiously.

Marvin's riding skills were average, so he quickly jumped off the horse.

He drove the black horse away and let it reflect on itself, and at the same time he complained in his heart that luck really had nothing to do with him.

The leader, the strong man holding a two-handed hammer, shouted: "Fight, fight... rob!"

The thing in his hand looked more like 80 yuan for breaking the wall, rather than a weapon.

"I know it's a robbery, but you don't have to shout it out."

"Hand over, hand over...hand over the money..."

Another thin robber couldn't wait any longer and interrupted, "Our boss said, hand over the money...oh, and your horse, and you can get out."

The thin man who interrupted was wearing half-body leather armor, but the shoulder armor, wrist guards, and chest armor were obviously not a set. The boots on his feet were soft leather boots commonly used by hunters, and he carried a hunting bow.

The other robbers were similar. The weapons in their hands were decent, but the clothes they wore were really varied.

At this time, two people rushed over from the back of the road and blocked the way back.

Marvin was in a hurry to get going. He didn't want to spend the night in the wild. He glanced at the two people behind him, drew the Gus pattern from the void, and the ice-blue rune was lit.

He lowered his center of gravity and rushed towards the hammer. After 2 steps, he suddenly raised his left hand.

A light blue ice arrow suddenly shot at the thin man who was picking up the bow.

The unprepared thin man was shot in the chest just as he held the bow handle, and the blood hole was covered with frost in an instant.

The strong man's iron hammer hit him head-on...

Marvin stepped forward to the left to avoid the iron hammer, but was shaken by the vibration of the ground. This fool has great strength.

He rolled sideways to avoid it, and by the way, he gave himself a Quen shield.

Hearing the footsteps coming from behind, Marvin turned around to block the sword, rolled forward to avoid another sword, and took another Aden magic circle, and cut a person's leg when he stood up.

The iron hammer strong man who rushed into the purple magic circle moved very slowly. Marvin dodged two long swords, sent the tip of the knife into the strong man's kidney and cut a huge wound on his side waist...

After a melee, Marvin killed 3 robbers including the iron hammer strong man.

Just as he was about to chase, the ground suddenly shook and a large black stone ball rolled over with a rumble...

Marvin felt that he could not stop it, so he dodged the stone ball that was rushing towards him. He knocked down a robber with the Aarde Sign and nailed him to the ground.

When he drew his knife, he found that the stone ball was not affected by the Aarden Sign, but circled back in the distance.

He raised an ice arrow and shot it at the last fleeing robber, who fell down after being hit in the thigh.

In fact, he originally intended to shoot the other party in the back, but missed the target. He still needed to practice his accuracy.

Looking at the stone ball rolling over again, Marvin was a little interested. This thing looked a little familiar...

Frost Breath.

The white magic torrent enveloped the stone ball. He cast a spell while moving to make way for the stone ball.

The stone ball gradually stopped, and it pushed open the ice layer and stood up.

Oh, it turned out to be a rock troll.

The troll stood up to a huge body of more than 2 meters, roared at the enemy, the sound waves spread but did not hurt.

Ignoring the shouting troll, another ice arrow knocked down the lame robber who was running away.

He wanted to leave a survivor, robber + rock troll, this matter is a bit interesting...

He shook the blood off the long knife with his right hand.

"Troll, can we talk?"

The monster roared again, and rushed towards Marvin with a rumble.

Well, there is no way to communicate.

Marvin moved to the side of the troll, and when the monster rushed past him, he reached out and grabbed the rock crystal on its back, turned over and squatted on the troll's round shell, and stabbed the right knife along the side of its neck that was not covered by the stone shell.

After the troll rushed a few steps, it fell to the ground with a bang. Marvin pulled out the long knife and turned over to land steadily.

"Ned!"

The black horse stepped closer.

Marvin pointed at the last robber who was still limping and trying to escape and said, "Go, drag him back..."

Ned snorted and shook his head, and the prince slapped him in the face: "Go!"

Ned reluctantly ran towards the robber...

This black guy was actually scared, causing him to almost flip over. In the future, he must be trained in some tricks, otherwise what will happen if he fails at a critical moment in the future.

Marvin walked to the head of the troll who was still lying on the ground. The monster was still panting, and blood had already accumulated under it.

"Troll, can we talk now?"

"Hu, hiss, hu, hiss..." The troll panted for a while, supported the ground to get up, and made a threatening growl like a beast.

This is still impossible to communicate.

He didn't wait for the troll to get up, and slashed the troll's head with his long knife.

He put his left hand on the monster's hard shell.

"Ding!"

[Hint: Found the remains of a magical creature, do you want to submit? 】【Yes】【No]

Choose yes.

"Ding!"

[Tip: Submission successful, reward strength +1, constitution +1. ]

He stood there, adapting to his stronger body...

The sound of horse hooves was accompanied by the sound of dragging. Ned bit his trousers and dragged the prisoner back.

The black horse dropped the prisoner and snorted, shaking his head up and down.

I can only feed it an apple to appease it.

Turning the prisoner over, his face was covered with blood marks, which was a bit miserable.

Marvin patted the prisoner's side face with his long knife.

"What happened to the troll?"

Capture a spirit...

…

After some interrogation, Marvin understood the general outline of the matter...

These smart robbers hired the not-so-smart trolls with meat.

They rob individual travelers and small caravans. The trolls can decide whether to help according to their own wishes. However, the trolls need to fake the scene as a monster attack afterwards.

This way people thought it was a monster rather than a robber.

They had been doing this for months and were very happy.

Mayor Mokun has issued a reward for this, but no one has accepted the commission yet, and no one knows that they did it.

…

The sun had not yet set when Marvin arrived at Mokun.

As expected, there was a commission to eliminate monsters on the notice board in front of the tavern. He pulled it off casually, ate in the tavern and rented the utility room of the tavern for one night.

After leaving the tavern, he went to the mayor's house. After knocking on the door, he handed over the painting of the magical place.

"I came here for this."

The mayor took the paper, looked at it clearly through the light inside the door, opened the door and said, "Let's talk inside."

Marvin took a look at the situation inside the door and then entered.

The two parties sat down on both sides of the table, and the mayor said politely: "My house is a little rough..."

"It's not important." Marvin pointed to the painting on the table, "Is this confirmed? When can I go see it?"

"Yes, it's confirmed. Fisherman Joseph found it and can take you there early tomorrow morning."

"Thank you. Also, is this from you?" Marvin put down the commission on the table.

"Ah?...Yes. Do you care about this?"

"Normally I don't care, but this time it happened, I can take care of it."

"That's great! This matter has been going on for several months. When can you..."

"bite!"

[Task tip: Monsters on the trade road? There are monsters in the north of Mokun that frequently attack passers-by and merchants. Mayor Mokun entrusts you to destroy this monster. Do you want to accept this task? 】【whether】

Select Yes.

Hehe, it turns out that this method is possible.

Marvin said calmly on the surface: "I just happened to meet him on the road. It's not a giant, it's a scene faked by a few robbers. I've already killed the person, and it's on the north road. You can send someone to look at it now. The body should be Still there, the armor and weapons on the corpse should prove something... That's it, I'll wait in the tavern."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and left. The mayor got up and said goodbye with a look of doubt on his face...

…

That night, while meditating in the woodshed of the tavern, Marvin received a prompt from the learning machine.

[Tip: The mission "Monsters on the Trade Road?" has been completed. Are there rewards for the bonus book "Tang's Hidden Weapon Techniques 1"? 】【whether】

Yes, but is this style of painting a bit off? And what does the "one" in the title of the book mean? And two, three, four, five and six?

…

Early the next morning, Marvin was having breakfast in the tavern and waited for his guide.

This man wears a felt hat and a white cloth waistcoat. The rolled up trousers, bare feet and the fishy smell that couldn't be washed off all showed that he was a fisherman.

"Sir, I am Joseph. The mayor asked me to take you to that, that..."

"Okay, I know what it is. The dock, or are you waiting here for me to finish?"

"I'll wait for you, sir."

"Is this our first meeting? Your attitude is very strange, Joseph."

"Um, is it weird? The mayor told me what I want, oh yes, I have to respect it."

Well, Marvin guessed that it was probably because of yesterday's robber incident.

After eating and drinking enough, he asked the bartender to take care of the black horse, and he and Joseph walked towards the pier in the south of the town.

After boarding Joseph's fishing boat and looking at the fisherman operating the boat, Marvin asked: "Hey, Joseph, do you know a boat that can go to Maribo? I want a bigger boat that can take my horse."

"Sir, you have also seen that our dock is only so big, so we naturally know each other. Do you plan to hire a boat alone or take a boat?"

"I can do either. Leave today or leave tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll ask you when I get back later."

"Thank you."

"No. Hahaha..."

…

Joseph stopped rowing and looked a little dumbfounded at the few water ghosts chattering and running around on the small island in the river.

"Sir, there was nothing here a few days ago, except for that rock on the top. What to do now? I have to tell everyone quickly, be careful when fishing these days."

This small island is just a little bit bigger, with a diameter of about ten meters according to visual inspection. The island is covered with dense shrubs, and a stone tip is exposed in the highest shrub. You can't even notice it unless you look carefully. Now you can see 3 water ghosts running around in the bushes. There are no water ghosts on the other side of the island, which are currently invisible.

"Joseph, have you never been a water ghost before?"

"No. The master mage said that our water flow is too fast and water ghosts don't like to come to us. What...what can we do?"

"It's okay, just row the boat over."

"Ah? Aren't you scared? Although you are wearing armor, you don't even have a sword."

"It's okay. Just paddle across. You don't need to dock and just go around the island. Is that okay?"

"Well, okay."
