The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World

(Recommended background music for this chapter: "Lady of the Lake" Source: The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Original Soundtrack.)

When we returned to the village of Carcano, it was already dinner time.

After finishing the food on the plate, Marvin was drinking apple juice and thinking about where to go next, when a man sat across from him.

This man had a conspicuous big nose, wore a straw hat, and had a fishy smell that couldn't be washed away.

"Warrior, I am Selik." The fisherman tried to look stylish, but failed slightly.

Marvin didn't reply, just looked at him...

The fisherman who calls himself Selik can only continue: "A kind lady asked me to bring you a commission. Once completed, I will give you a very generous reward."

Marvin didn't care about the remuneration. He was interested in entrusting it, but he had to ask clearly about everything first.

"Tell me." He pointed to his eyes, "But I am not a demon hunter."

Seeing the young man's interest, Selik put his elbows on the table, covered his mouth with his hands and lowered his voice:

"No, it's not a monster hunting commission. It's compassion, generosity, wisdom, honor, bravery..."

At this point, he narrowed his eyes, but he couldn't hide the pride in his eyes.

"Be specific, I hate riddles."

Selik continued to say mysteriously: "The lady said that you have completed the heroics today, and you only need to complete the remaining 4 items."

"Five virtues of knighthood? No interest. You've found the wrong person."

Knowing what he did today, he tested it with the five virtues of knighthood.

Marvin has past life memories and has read a lot in this life. He guessed who the mysterious lady was right away. He really wasn't interested.

"Huh?..." Selik was stunned. This was completely different from what he thought. He didn't know how to continue talking...

"Go and reply to your lady, I have no interest in her trials or rewards." Marvin pushed away the plate, drank up the apple juice, stood up and left...

…

Early the next morning, as soon as Marvin came out of the rented house, he saw the fisherman Selik again.

He stopped Marvin and said, "Warrior, madam, please meet her." After that, he came closer.

Marvin backed away, frowned and said, "If you have something to say, don't make these useless moves."

Selik whispered angrily: "It's the lady in the lake. She invites you to see her."

Marvin had already guessed that it was this land god and was not surprised.

However, according to legend, this fairy in the lake is stunningly beautiful, has a perfect figure, and is dressed coolly, so it’s not a bad idea to go and see her. Although he was not interested in what happened.

"Okay, lead the way."

…

The two boarded Selik's fishing boat in the village. The fisherman rowed the boat all the way across the small lake and headed downstream from the southwest side of the river.

A few kilometers southwest of Carcano Village there is another small lake surrounded by hills and woods. According to the villagers, the scenery is beautiful and the water is clear and sweet, but Marvin has never been there...

The scenery here is indeed beautiful, the lake is crystal clear, and you can even see swaying aquatic plants and colorful pebbles under the water, but Marvin didn't see any fish...

Selik solemnly docked the boat to the small island in the middle of the lake, and said to Marvin: "Please wait here, the lady will be here soon." After that, he rocked the fishing boat and left the same way.

Marvin looked at the hills and woods around the small lake. There was no one there. How can we go out soon?

Wow...Wow~

The water rose up on the lake five to six meters in front of Marvin, gradually rising...

Emerald green hair, lake-like eyes, full lips, warm and plump skin... an almost perfect woman rose from the surging water, clean, natural, elegant, beautiful... and indeed had a very good figure Wow, I can’t say that I’m wearing something cool, I can only say that I’m not wearing anything. Note①

The Lady of the Lake is probably the most powerful and mysterious of the nymphs.

A nymph is a demi-human creature in the form of a fairy. They are natural elves who usually appear as beautiful girls and like to sing and dance. They do not age or become sick, but they do die. According to the place of residence, it can be divided into spring nymphs, tree nymphs, sea nymphs, etc.

Her long emerald hair covers her key parts. The nymph's lower body is under the lake, and her upper body is leaning lazily on the surging water, looking elegant.

"Warrior, why did you refuse my call? I can give you the legendary sword."

Marvin crossed his arms and admired the legendary and beautiful creature.

"What? No one has played knight games with you recently, and you have started not to choose anyone? Nymph, I don't think I meet the five virtues of knights."

"Oh?" The fairy in the lake also became curious. No one had ever spoken to her like this.

"Everyone wants my favor and blessing, why wouldn't you?"

"Complete the so-called five virtues of knighthood, obtain the Yalundigit sword gifted by you, and then eradicate evil in order to gain more favor and favors, and finally die in a dark sewer. You have played this trick for hundreds of Aren’t you tired of it? Do you still remember how many so-called knights died under your influence? Do you still remember the names of any of them?”

Marvin started reading books when he was 1 year old, including books like Strange Object Adventures. The Lady of the Lake didn't just choose Geralt, she had been playing this trick for hundreds of years. White Wolf is just one of them with a tougher hit.

And this passage was indeed what he was thinking, and it was his understanding of this knight game.

Nymph was speechless for a moment...

"Knight? Haha, you really have no one to use. Didn't you check who I am before you came to me?"

"Okay, who are you?"

"Amavit, the prince of Temeria."

Nymph was stunned, opened her mouth, and thought of something. She raised her hands, and the lake began to ripple with her as the center.

Boom, more than ten meters away, a circle of water curtain surged into the sky, surrounding the two people and the island in the middle of the lake.

The fairy in the lake maintained the spectacular water curtain and said in a beautiful voice like a lark singing: "I am presumptuous, Your Highness... But the virtue of the knight cannot be insulted, I just want it to be passed on. Young prince, your destiny will also let the virtue of the knight be passed on... You have completed mercy and courage..."

Nymph did not give up easily, she tried to use magic power and illusory destiny...

Marvin curled his lips, Teacher Tissaya could make a lot more noise than this.

He didn't listen, and began to cast spells with both hands, breathing frost...

10 seconds...

20 seconds...

30 seconds...

The lake surface and half of the water curtain had been frozen, leaving only the 3-meter circle around the nymph with gurgling water...

Destiny? Gaunt O'Dimm, that guy who was beyond the scope, didn't dare to speak lightly about Marvin's fate, so a nymph dared to do so?

"Are you talking about what happened yesterday? If those civilians disturb my hunting, I don't mind killing them myself first. Five virtues? None of them have anything to do with me. Go play the knight game with others." Marvin turned around and tried to find a way to leave.

I've seen it, I've fought it, and there's nothing left.

"Wait, don't you want the legendary sword?" The Fairy of the Lake raised her voice.

She would not give up easily if she could achieve something, especially in this situation. She wanted this young prince to bow down to her like other knights.

Marvin turned around and drew out the Gus pattern from the void. The ice-blue magic rune lit up, and the bright silver blade was beautiful and dangerous.

"Weapons are only good if they are suitable, not all good ones are suitable. My sword is special. Can you turn Alondigit into this?"

Nymph shook her head.

Marvin pointed his long sword at the ground, stared at Nymph and said, "I guess you got that sword from somewhere. You don't look like a blacksmith. So, you can't control that sword, right? You can only use it to seduce one knight after another who covets fame, treasures, and beauty to work for you. I am not interested in your purpose, so don't bother me anymore."

The Lady in the Lake was silent for a few seconds, then slowly sank into the lake and disappeared.

Marvin put away the Gus pattern, and a blue aura shone on his body, and he disappeared.

A few minutes later, Nymph emerged from the lake and murmured, "Male, ancient blood..."

But her body could not be seen under the water.

...

Marvin teleported to the town of Dorian next to Velen, the town where he fought with the mercenaries in the tavern.

He deliberately gave the Lady of the Lake a chance to see his secret. If he found out later that this nymph had passed on information to the Wild Hunt or others, he would have an excuse to kill her.

After all, the Lady of the Lake Sword is still quite good. If you don't want to be a licker, you can rob it. Just have a suitable excuse.

The Lady of the Lake is a spring nymph, not an elemental creature. She is actually very weak without water and is not difficult to kill.

It was still early, and Marvin only replenished some supplies in Dorian Town before setting off.

This trip was a bit lucky. Marvin met a group of wild horses in the wild, soothed one of the horses with mind bewitching, and just ran on the muddy road to Velen without a saddle, pulling the horse's mane.

It was indeed a bit uncomfortable without a saddle, but he could barely control the horse, after all, his strength and agility attributes were high enough.

When passing by the village of Bankohan, he did not stop and went all the way north. He was going to find the griffin.

In the afternoon, he fed the horse with bean cakes and water prepared in advance, and then let the tired wild horse go.

At night, Marvin found a cave and spent the night there.

…

The next morning, Marvin stood on the dirt road covered by weeds and looked around. He vaguely remembered that this was the place where he fought with the griffin, but now there was no griffin patrolling the territory in the sky.

It didn't matter, he brought bait.

He took out the prepared half of the mutton from the inventory and a cloth bag.

The air was suddenly filled with an unspeakable stench, which was a bit irritating to the eyes.

This was buckthorn, a herb that only grows under water. The griffins could smell the smell of this thing from dozens of miles away, and it was hard to resist.

However, ugh…

Marvin squeezed out the juice of buckthorn and smeared it on the bloody mutton, and then stuffed the buckthorn into the cut mutton.

Then he placed the half of the mutton in the middle of the road, and he found a bush in the leeward position to hide.

…

I don't know how long it took, Marvin woke up from meditation, it should have been past noon.

Tsk~

A familiar griffin cry came from the sky...

He squatted behind the bushes and looked around, but it was too far away to see clearly...

The griffin turned a corner in the sky and fell towards the source of the "fragrance".

This time Marvin saw it clearly...

In terms of color, this griffin is darker than the one he remembered, with gray-black mane, black feathers, and dark red stripes. In terms of size, it has a wingspan of more than 6 meters, which is a bit bigger.

However, considering that it has been more than 2 years since then, it is reasonable for it to grow a bit bigger. As for whether this is the same one from 2 years ago, Marvin can't tell. Just treat it as it is.

The griffin circled in the air and descended. It didn't find any danger and gradually relaxed. It folded its wings, slammed to the ground with a bang, and began to bite the mutton with the claws on its wings...

Marvin jumped out of the bushes in one step and rushed forward.

The man and the monster were facing each other, and he couldn't stab from behind. He could only get closer as soon as possible.

Marvin estimated the distance while sprinting.

The griffin had good hearing. It raised its head to check and found someone approaching. It flapped its wings and was about to jump back.

Teleport, Alder Seal-Bone-piercing.

Bang!

The surging telekinetic impact stopped the griffin in one blow, and the eagle's head was temporarily frozen.

The horse pulled out the Gus pattern from the void, stepped, turned, and chopped it down with a knife!

Crack, puff~, the frozen eagle's head was completely cut off, and dark red blood spurted out from the broken neck...

Stepping back to avoid the blood splash, Marvin shook off the long sword and wiped it carefully with a piece of flannel, feeling a little sigh in his heart...

Two years ago, he couldn't even get close to the griffin even with Drina and two guards. Now, even with the sprint, it only takes 5 seconds to kill the griffin.
