Chapter 36: First Encounter with the Wild Hunt

(Recommended background music for this chapter: "Wine Wars" Source: The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Original Soundtrack.)

As the sun was setting, Marvin had just found an almost deserted path, thinking that he would probably be camping in the wild now...

Snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky...

Autumn has just begun, and even though it's relatively far north, it's snowing now, isn't it too early? …

Marvin stopped. There was no one around him. He looked up at the sky. More and more snowflakes were falling, and the sound of horses neighing could be heard in the air behind him.

Seven knights came out of the air, both men and horses wearing heavy armor, covered with ice and mist...

Wild Hunt! Note①

Marvin didn't intend to run. He just watched the cavalry team getting closer and closer. He wanted to try his skills in the Wild Hunt.

In the blink of an eye, seven knights landed on the ground and surrounded Marvin. Not only were they heavily armored, but their faces were even covered by skull-shaped metal masks.

Wearing heavy plate armor covered with ice, a skull mask, walking through the air, and the sky filled with frost and snow, all of this demonstrates the power and malice of the Wild Hunt.

But under this layer of armor, there is still a mortal body. The Ein El elves are nothing more than taller and stronger than humans, and they have mastered some magical power.

Marvin has no fear due to his deep understanding of this race.

A knight with a different armor style and a metal staff took a step forward and said in Elliron language: "Descendants of the ancient blood, follow us."

Marvin knew that this was a special personnel of the Ain El tribe's army, called a navigator, who had very good space abilities and a unique ice magic.

Wild Hunt operations usually involve a navigator.

Marvin replied in common language: "I don't understand, just speak in human language."

The navigator was about to say something else when Marvin raised his hand and an ice arrow shot into the eye of the horse under his crotch.

Suddenly, the war horse was so frightened that it shook its head and fell back, and the ice arrow made a crisp sound on the war horse's faceplate.

When the attention of the navigator and the knights was attracted by the ice arrow, Marvin disappeared in a burst of blue light and appeared behind the navigator the next moment.

Marvin stepped on the horse's back and stepped on the navigator until he was lying on the horse's neck. The long sword rune in his right hand lit up and he slashed the back of the neck.

Click, the blade scraped against the back edge of the helmet and cut into the neck, severing the spine, and was finally blocked by the horse's vest.

Only a small part of the navigator's neck was still attached to skin and flesh.

Feeling the sudden presence of an unknown object on its back, the horse neighed in fright and ran away, throwing the navigator's body off.

Marvin's agility attribute was not low now, and he easily turned over and jumped off the horse.

The navigator is very troublesome. If you don't kill him first, who knows what he will summon.

The other Wild Hunt knights were not slow to react and rushed towards them with their horses drawn. The nearest knight had superb riding skills. The horseman stood up and turned his horse's head, and stepped on Marvin head-on with its big hooves.

Marvin rolled backwards to avoid being trampled by the war horse. With Alder's seal, the knight was lifted off his horse by the air wave, and was knocked away by the charging horse...

Regardless of what happened to the knight who was knocked away, Marvin teleported again, climbed behind the other knight, fixed the enemy's helmet with his left hand, and pierced the 9cm awl at the end of the handle of the long knife in his right hand through the eye socket of the mask, and turned over. Landed.

Not far away, the remaining four knights had dismounted and ran over. Having learned from the past, they did not dare to charge on horseback again.

Marvin turned around and found the knight who had been knocked away. He could no longer stand up, had no weapons in his hands, and no helmet on his head. The kneeling position is very suitable for teleportation and execution.

He shook off the long knife, put on the Quen shield, and looked at the four people semi-surrounded by him, feeling calm inside.

He wasn't confident enough to cut into the full-body plate armor of the Wild Hunt, which looked very strong, but the armor was not without gaps.

Full-metal plate armor is supposed to be very resistant to fire, but Wild Hunt's special magic and enchantment technology makes the plate armor covered with a layer of frost, and Marvin's flame temperature is average, so the effect is probably not great.

Snowflakes were still falling, and the ground around them was beginning to freeze, as was the case wherever there was a wild hunt. However, these had no effect on Marvin.

Marvin leaned forward and charged towards the enemy on the far left, slashing diagonally with his long sword. Suddenly, it collided with the opponent's alien long sword. In terms of feel, the opponent is slightly weaker than Marvin.

Marvin rolled to his side to dodge the attack from the right, Alder's Seal repeled a group of enemies, moved sideways, brought all enemies into the attack range, put away the Gus pattern, cast spells with both hands, and breathed fire.

The Wild Hunters rolled to dodge, and the flame breath that lasted for 2 seconds only melted the frost on the armor a little, and the enemies were not seriously harmed.

Marvin squatted down, slapped his palms on the ground, and with the Yaden seal, a purple magic circle with a diameter of five or six meters appeared.

Although the Wild Hunt knights did not understand the function of the purple magic circle, they did not step in foolishly.

There is one person on the left side of the circle, two people on the right side, and the last person is on the opposite side of the circle.

Marvin suddenly raised his left hand to the last person, using the Eye Burning Technique.

The knight who covered his eyes and looked up and backed away screamed, hmm~~~ the sound was a bit muffled through the helmet.

Teleporting, he was in front of the accused enemy in an instant. The long knife pierced under the raised visor, slashed horizontally, and the head of the person wearing the metal helmet was blown away.

The remaining three people ignored the purple magic circle at their feet and turned to save them, but were slowed down by the Arden magic circle.

Marvin turned around and used Alder's seal.

The three knights were blown away by the impact of telekinesis.

Marvin crouched forward, caught up with one of them, stepped on his chest, and inserted the long knife into his neck through the gap in the armor.

After the remaining two people got up, they lost all intention to fight and retreated slowly while holding their weapons.

Marvin was not in a hurry to engage in the battle and moved forward with the knife in hand. He had to catch his breath.

The enemy has already left the purple magic circle, and there are still 4 meters between the two sides.

Marvin raised his hand, and the two men were so scared that they covered their eyes with their arms.

But this time it was not the burning eye magic, but the sonic boom magic.

The knight in front of Marvin on the right felt that his ears were wrapped in a huge roar. The huge noise affected the ear-water balance, and the enemy was dizzy and staggered.

Marvin ducked forward, knocked one person away with the Alder sign in his left hand, and picked up the weapon of the controlled enemy with a long sword in his right hand, and then kicked him over, and Guswen stabbed him several times diagonally from the leather armor on his abdomen.

After Marvin confirmed that the enemy under his feet was dead, the last person was running for his life.

The wild hunters who took off their armor were just mortals, and they would also be afraid.

There was no accident that they caught up, disarmed, and crippled, and then there was a physical negotiation...

Marvin actually didn't want to ask much, the key point was one question, why were there only so few people?

According to his estimation, the wild hunting troops, that is, the red cavalry of the Ain El tribe, had at least hundreds of people.

After asking, he suddenly realized and was speechless...

Wild Hunt Commander Ileris took the team to hunt unicorns because he valued hunting unicorns more.

And to chase a young descendant of the ancient blood, a team plus a navigator is enough.

He thinks that the people in this world are ignorant and incompetent, and finding, catching, and bringing back should be the whole job, and there should be no trouble.

...

I don't know how many years of ruling history have made Ain El's arrogance engraved in his bones.

After the destruction of the hometown of these pointy ears, they used the ancient blood to create the magnificent gate-Ad Ges, and began to wander in different worlds.

During the wandering, the pointy ears split into Ain El and Ain Sidi.

Finally, Ain Sidi settled in the demon hunter world. Ain El settled in another world.

Whether before or after wandering, they are rulers. Countless intelligent races became their slaves, supporting their artistic pursuits, luxurious lives and magic armies.

The pointy-eared people who were unproductive and wasteful destroyed their hometown and were about to destroy the next one.

The prophet Laura Dolan defected. They lost the ancient blood and could only hunt unicorns and use the power of the unicorn horns to shuttle between the worlds to harvest resources and continue their rule.

Marvin didn't understand why such a group of stray dogs had the right to be arrogant.

However, this was a good thing for him.

Another good thing was that the navigator was the first to die, resulting in no news from Ileris. These wild hunt cavalry and navigators were considered missing.

After learning all the information, Marvin began to destroy the bodies.

The war horses were caught and killed, the armor was stripped off, and the bodies were piled up and burned.

When the navigator's body was touched, the learning machine gave a prompt.

[Prompt: The remains of magical creatures were found. Do you want to submit? ] [Yes] [No]

Select Yes.

[Prompt: Submission was successful. ]

[Prompt: The submitted creature has been detected to have a professional inheritance...]

[Prompt: The detection is completed. This professional inheritance is only applicable to a small number of races and is judged to be worthless. 】

MMP, nothing.

The remaining bodies of the soldiers and horses were burned to ashes and buried deep with the armor. The battle site was washed by fire.

Marvin worked until the middle of the night, and then he sat on the hillside in the wilderness to study the armor in his hand.

He left the navigator's armor, and he liked this set of armor.

The breastplate is a thick armor plate with a strict rib pattern to protect the entire chest cavity. The exquisite design greatly increases the defense without affecting the movement. The leather armor underneath is thick and close-fitting.

The shin guards and metal boots are excellent, strong, waterproof and do not affect flexibility. Except that they are a bit heavy and noisy, they are perfect. He doesn't plan to be an assassin.

Marvin's boots are often soaked in water, and he doesn't know how many pairs he has changed.

It's just that the metal arm armor and gloves affect the battle. He has to use a knife with his right hand, and the metal gloves affect the feel. His left hand has to cast spells. I don't know if it will have any impact. I'll take some time to try it. The arm armor and metal gloves are still a bit big.

The helmet was completely useless. It was ugly and affected my perception. I put it away for experiments. The armor material of Ain El was interesting.

Put away the navigator's armor and teleport back to Vizima.

Marvin went home and slept for a night. The next day he went to the blacksmith shop.

The master blacksmith disassembled all the parts, kept the overall style of the armor unchanged, and polished off all the magic runes while retaining the defensive ability.

He carefully checked them one by one, and was relieved when all the armor parts no longer had any magic fluctuations.

Then he tried to make it fit according to Marvin's body shape. The arm armor was reduced in size, the metal glove on the left hand was retained, and the right hand was changed to a half-finger leather glove.

I don't know what metal the navigator's armor is made of, but wearing metal gauntlets does not affect spellcasting.

Remove the original ugly fur collar leather waistcoat and replace it with a long hooded leather windbreaker.

Throw the helmet to the blacksmith to melt and study slowly.

It took the master blacksmith and a master tailor two days to make all the changes.

After changing to the new armor, well, it's a bit heavy. Fortunately, he is much stronger now, so he just needs to adapt for a while.

After putting the old armor back home for safekeeping, replenishing travel supplies, and copying a book about witchers, Marvin teleported directly to the Siren of Kell.

It's almost time, and the Wild Hunt will not come again in a short time. During this time, he can go and talk to the witcher, and then continue to play hide-and-seek with the Wild Hunt.

Sorry, I have been busy these days, so the update is late. There will be more later, and it should be updated before 10 o'clock. Sorry again, I promised to update more. Sorry again.
