Chapter 2819 Hunter's Warning

The cat looked very excited, running around, and finally jumped onto the armor box where the "Golden Lion Armor" was stored, then lay on it, staring at Shade with big amber eyes and shaking its tail.

Shade had already opened the package given by Sister Develyn. There were many things in the rotten and smelly cloths buried deep underground. Not to mention the useless sundries, several bottles of magic potions had obviously deteriorated due to improper storage. The remaining ore was still valuable. It looked like a piece of silver ore.

In addition to these, there were three important items. Shade saw the [Demon Seal] that he was very familiar with. This is the symbol of the demon hunter, and it is also the third one he has, and the second one was given to Iluna.

"But what do I need so many of these rings for? I don't plan to let other people frequently come into contact with demons."

But anyway, this is also a good collection. If you meet a suitable person in future adventures, Shade can consider entrusting the third ring to the other party.

The remaining two, one is a very thick book, but there is no need to worry about whether it can still be read, because this book is a relic, and relics will obviously not be damaged by the environment.

The cover of the book is black, and the title of the book is written in white letters on it - "The Demon Hunter's Notes".

The back of the book is also pure black, but it is painted with the same symbol as the [Demon Hunter Seal], representing the dispelling of demons, and the bottom is written in dark red like blood:

[Are you ready to accept the fate of the demon hunter? ]

Shade raised his eyebrows:

"This, isn't it the prop to accept the inheritance of the demon hunter?"

But he said that he didn't plan to become a witch or a demon hunter, so Shade had no intention of opening the book at all, but rewrapped the book with the rag in awe, intending to wait until the characteristics of the relic were confirmed before opening it for inspection.

As for the last remaining item, it was a rough black stone that Shade could feel the power of the demon with his eyes closed. The demonic power of the stone was so strong that he even felt that it might be part of a demon.

But the fact that it could be brought back by Shade through the [Space Labyrinth] meant that it had lost its activity.

At first, Shade was puzzled as to why the hunter carried such a thing with him, but soon he thought of the power that the hunter asked the soul of the old woman in the village to pass on to the later generations was [Remaining Advice], so he understood.

He put the [Demon Hunting Seal] on his hand, and then blinked at the black stone:

"Remaining Advice."

Sure enough, a string of glowing white runes immediately appeared above the stone, and they were written in the common language of Carsenrick:

[There is a mithril vein in the Vesta Forest. I came here to forge new weapons, but I found unimaginable evil here, and thus discovered the demon of fire - Dizast. Later generations, demons are not the key, I have decided to sacrifice myself to seal the demon.

Be careful - the tree has changed into a human, be careful of those who guide you, I met the demon because of this, but I am willing to sacrifice myself. 】

"Mithril vein? Isn't this mithril ore?"

Shad looked at the ore he had just played with, and then thought about what it would mean to him if he could really find a mithril vein, but then he thought of the hunter a hundred years ago who still did not leave his name, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad about it.

And the "she" beside him smiled and asked:

[Since the tree has changed into a person, who is the person? 】

"Yes, who is it?"

(Mi Ya is running.)

It was raining heavily in Vistalin today. Shad was soaked by the rain as soon as he came out of the tree hole. Obviously, there was no sound of rain in the tree hole.

This was the heaviest rain in this forest this autumn in his memory. Even the elf girl living in the tree house rarely went out to do anything because of this. When Shade went to bring her breakfast, he asked curiously how the chocobos in the forest would survive in such heavy rain, and the elf girl gave a very simple answer:

"They have their own nests in this forest. These little guys have lived here since the last century, and they know much more about this place than I do."

After that, he looked Shade up and down:

"Yesterday's demon hunting operation seemed to be going smoothly, right?

You are very different now than when we met yesterday. In the future, when you walk in this forest, you don't need to wear the emerald star flower wreath I gave you. With your current natural affinity, the forest will take the initiative to make way for you. If you are willing to learn spells related to nature, you will be more talented than others."

This is the improvement that Shade got when he absorbed the curse of the "Great Tree" more than 30 years ago, and the benefits of "natural affinity" are obviously not limited to these.

In addition to bringing breakfast, Shade did not forget to take out the burning spark branch that the doctor gave him last night. Because this branch is made of the World Tree, it cannot be turned into a toy, but even if it gets wet on a rainy day, it will not affect the sparks on it.

"Look at this, can you tell what it is?"

"A branch of the World Tree."

The elf girl just glanced at it and said:

"The [Ocarina of Time] in the flower pot on the window sill behind me and the key in your neck are made of the same material. The special thing is that all the branches of the world tree currently existing in the material world are It’s ‘stale’, after all, the tree father has been gone for many years, but this branch is still fresh.”

She waved the branch and placed it beside the table:

"Keep this with me and take it away when you need it."

Shade nodded and had no objection to this.

When she rushed to the Accordion Hotel in the city despite the rain, Flora did not paint the fifth oil painting as she had said early this morning. It seemed that she had a heart-to-heart talk with Miss Danister late last night.

But at least the red-haired girl didn't look so angry anymore, and looked the same as usual when she greeted Shade. However, everyone had a tacit understanding and stopped talking about Ms. Helena Carter. Shade decided to talk to her about the astrologer Mr. Euclid in a few days.

When little Mia emerged from the chest of Shade's coat, Shade only mentioned to them the items in the package that Sister Devlin found in the deserted village.

Regarding the relic book "The Witcher's Notes", neither the witch nor the well-informed librarian had ever heard of it, but they both thought it was best for Shade not to open the book.

So if you want to know what this is, Shade probably has to ask a doctor.

As for the advice he read from the black stone, Flora and Miss Daniste both frowned after hearing it, but they only understood that the evil thing had the ability to transform into a human being.

"Even if a hunter knows that he has been intentionally led to the devil, he still goes to death willingly. Such people are the so-called heroes."

Although the other party was a man, the witch still admired her for a moment before saying:

"But since hunters a hundred years ago were able to track down such well-hidden evil objects because of that mithril vein, can we also find each other through the mine a hundred years later?"

Then she answered her own question:

"Vanessa is the witch of the earth. Detecting mineral veins is her best skill. Let her investigate when she comes."

As for last night's operation, it can be called a complete victory. Not only did Shade and others successfully defeat the demon, but even the assisting team sent by the church successfully fought against the burning trees in the forest. And after the demon disappeared, most of them were taken care of by early this morning.

People in the city probably only heard that a few buildings in the city were on fire, but in fact last night's operation was the most successful "devil hunting" operation that the church has participated in in the past century. Although the church itself did not have direct contact with the demon, and they did not even know that the demon split itself into four parts, at least the demon was really eliminated.

The evidence lies in the fact that at dawn today, the temperature of the [Ice Magic Box] where the demon split body was sealed by the Church of Nature suddenly dropped. Then the Holy See received news from the Vista Woodland, and after taking the risk to open the box, the black flame inside had indeed been extinguished.

After Miss Bell got up early this morning, when she obtained information about the church on the black market, she actually heard that the church wanted to invite her and the "God Caller" to the local church to receive awards, but they were flatly rejected by the young witch apprentice.

It's just that although the devil was killed, the matter was far from over. For example, Shade has yet to see the tree hole used to transfer the Hoy family's treasure three hundred years ago.

But thanks to yesterday's afternoon tea party, it was determined that Sir Wayne, who works for the "Drin'all Zionists", has a time curse on him, so the tree hole is most likely in his hands.

Therefore, while there was still some time on this rainy Thursday when the witches had not yet arrived, Shade and Miss Danister went out to reclaim the fifth tree hole.

According to the performance of the two demons fighting Shade last night, George Kant and Lady Shatara are real and most of the time they act of their own will, but in fact most of their decisions are influenced by the demons. .

This is a standard manifestation of a "demon possessed", and is another manifestation of a "devil follower" who often appears in evil spirits and demon incidents, different from the "demon" who has accepted the power of the devil.

The bodies of the two were not destroyed during the battle in the forest, but were handed over to the local church by the witch afterwards. After the church determined whether there was any remaining demonic power in them, it was already trying to find out what they had done under the control of the demon, and that information was also shared with the witch by the church.
