Warlords of the witcher world

Chapter 105 The "Gathering" of the Demon Hunter Grandmaster

In the far south, there is a beautiful and wealthy country, Toussaint.

Thanks to its pleasant climate and fertile volcanic soil, this land is rich in grapes, and its high-quality wine is famous all over the world.

Travelers from the Northern Kingdoms immediately feel like they are in a fairy tale as soon as they set foot in Toussaint.

Severe weather doesn't exist in Toussaint, and even in winter it's cloudless, with only gentle breezes blowing, and I don't know what cold winds are.

The word hunger loses its meaning, for the woods and groves of this land bear rich and juicy fruit all year round.

The feeling of loneliness no longer exists, because everyone in this country regards travelers as friends they haven't seen for a long time.

In this land of surprises, there will be no backwaters of boredom, dullness, or restlessness.Rivers of wine flowed from Toussaint, music never ceased, and birdsong and beautiful maidens sang everywhere.

When the handsome knight calls, the girl will never be stingy with her charm.

The breathtakingly beautiful capital, Beauclair, is an architectural wonder full of magnificent and beautiful elf monuments: detailed towers, elaborately carved reliefs and mysterious ruins.

Only the rare golden sun on a black background, and the weird combination of gold and black on the beautiful buildings remind people that this living fairy tale land is actually a vassal state of Nilfgaard.

Although nominally a vassal of Nilfgaard, Taussaint enjoyed a high degree of autonomy as an early joiner of the Nilfgaard Empire.

This is not the kind of vassal called a vassal, which is actually a pig waiting to be killed. As long as the empire fails in a foreign war, it will be used to eat meat, but a real franchisee.

Under normal circumstances, the empire will not interfere and participate in their internal affairs, or violate their borders, and let this fairy tale country govern itself.

Generally speaking, the Duke of Toussaint is also an important participant in the political game of the City of the Golden Tower, no less than a player of the ancient family, but when it comes to the Duchess of Toussaint... I can only say sad, the Duchess is very sad to Towson There is no interest in anything other than special.

And now, on the avenue of this fairy tale land, three demon hunters are waiting at a crossroads.

The three are Elan, Cohen and Anahad.

Anahad originally planned to go to the Skellige Islands, but was held back by Elan.

After Elan bravely fought Anahad, who had been transformed by Svalblo's power, he was graciously received by Herme.

At the banquet held by Duke Protector, he was naturally very conspicuous, so the news about the return of the master of the Griffin School also spread.

Then he received a letter from Ivar Xieyan, the master of the Snake School who was looking for information about the second mutation in Toussaint, asking them to come and help.

So Elan took Cohen, who couldn't continue to join the army because of his identity exposure, and Anahad, who was pulled by him, to Toussaint.

Elan knew that there was hatred between Anahad and Iva Xieyan. Back then, Iva Xieyan betrayed Anahad and split part of the demon hunters away.

But after all, so many years have passed since that incident, and now Anahad's personality has undergone drastic changes.

Elan believed that it would be no problem to take Anahad to see Ivar Xieyan.

At the same time, this is also to put a stop to the past.

It's time to put an end to the old hatred among the demon hunters. The demon hunters need to go hand in hand to welcome the new era together.

Anahad has no objection to this, and he also wants to see Iva Xieyan to completely end those grievances of the year.

But the next road is not so easy. Although they are demon hunters, the road is still very difficult.

After all, to travel through such a large area of ​​war-torn land, many times even a demon hunter can only choose to detour in the face of war.

Along the way, they saw many ugly things, killing, looting and death everywhere, armies fighting each other, refugees fighting each other, no place is safe.

But they were demon hunters after all, and they said that they fought their way out of the chaos, and finally came to Toussaint.

When they first entered this place, they felt that everything in front of them was fake. The beauty and peace of Toussaint formed a sharp contrast with the chaos outside.

Ranger knights guard the border of Toussaint. They slaughtered wave after wave of bandits trying to enter Toussaint. It is because of their solid support that Toussaint can be so stable.

Then, they waited at this agreed intersection.

The three demon hunters didn't want to say anything more. What they had experienced along the way was too much even for the demon hunters.

While waiting, Iva Xieyan arrived.

"Elan, I haven't seen you for many years."

Iva embraced Elan very enthusiastically. Although he stood on the opposite side of Elan during the civil war that year, there was no hatred between the two of them.

"Old Venomous Snake, after so many years, it's great to see you. By the way, that's Cohen, you've seen it before, and this one, this is Anahad."

After the two separated, Elan introduced Anahad to Iva. Elan noticed that Iva had been watching Anahad all the time, so he introduced him like this. Then he clearly saw that the master of the Snake School became nervous .

And the strong master of the Xiong School took a step forward, using his height to look down at Iva Xieyan, and Iva met those eyes without fear of the wind.

The atmosphere became quiet for an instant, and something in the air immediately became anxious.

The two Griffin school witchers were ready to go immediately, and as soon as the two wanted to make a move, they would immediately pull the two apart.

However, it turns out that they are still more worried.

"It's been a long time, old viper."

Anahad said in a deep voice,

"I think some things should be over, aren't they?"

The answer to Anahad was silence, and Iva Xieyan continued to look into Anahad's eyes.

Finally, he spoke,

"I didn't expect you to tell me this... Your change is indeed huge. I actually saw other emotions in his eyes besides coldness. It seems that you have indeed changed, change It’s not too young, so that’s fine, Anahad, some things should indeed pass.”

Iva Xieyan kept looking into Anahad's eyes just to confirm his sincerity.

The master of the Snake School knew this master of the Bear School very well, and one could tell by looking at his eyes whether this person was still the same as before.

And after seeing his eyes that have changed too much compared to his own memory, Iva knew that what he said was sincere.

"I have indeed changed a lot, old poisonous snake. I have experienced some things that have had a great impact on my character. But I think this is very good. It is because of these influences that I discovered how stupid I was in the past. It’s no surprise that it ended up that way.”

Anahad said with a sigh, he now has no hatred for Iva Xieyan.

Anahad in the eyes of Eva Xieyan has also changed a lot, and now Anahad is obviously more "sentimental" than before.

The current emotion in his eyes is not what the previous bear would have.

"Since the greetings are over, old poisonous snake, hurry up and take us to that place. I'm curious about what the second mutation you mentioned is, can it be fake, and what exactly is the need for our help. "

Elan saw that the atmosphere between the two had eased a lot, so he said quickly, diverting the topic.

I was afraid that the two people would talk about something unpleasant next and cause a fight.

However, his worries were indeed superfluous. For these two people, the gaze just now was enough.

"You just put 1 hearts. I said that it is a second mutation. It is a second mutation. As for helping, it is just a rhetoric. I just want everyone to have a second mutation. After all, you know, maybe ten In the next year, maybe now, this land will be lively, and our old bones will still have a place to play."

.

On the way to the place of the second mutation, the three demon hunters learned from Iva Xieyan what the so-called second mutation was all about.

It turned out that a warlock named Thomas Molu wanted to turn his child who had become a demon hunter back into a human being, so he kidnapped his child, and then carried out a method to solve the mutation of the demon hunter.

But in the end, things backfired, and what he created was a technology that further mutated the witcher. Professor Thomas was completely desperate. Before he left, he locked up his son and left him alone.

However, the warlock's son, Geron Molu, escaped from his father's laboratory and continued his witch hunting career.

Then by a coincidence, he met Iva Xieyan, and from him, the master of the Snake School knew about the period of the second mutation and the location of the laboratory.

This surprised both Elan and Anahad, who didn't expect such right and wrong in it.

Of course, the more surprising thing is that the secondary mutation is actually feasible.

How difficult it is for a demon hunter to mutate, the demon hunter master here is the clearest, they are the old people who existed in the early days of the demon hunter profession.

Alzu had tossed and tossed for so long before creating the Trial of Green Grass. He put in countless efforts in it. Now that the second mutation has appeared, it will naturally surprise them.

Elan was also a little surprised, that is, this Geron is a demon hunter of their Griffin School, and he wanted to meet this junior very much, but it was a pity that Iva told him that when he said goodbye last time, Geron was going to their Griffin School. The ruins of the castle over there.

Soon, under the familiar guidance of Iva Xieyan, they came to the location of the secondary mutation laboratory, which was in the Valley of the Nine in Toussaint.

And this place is underwater.

There is no other way. After setting up the horses, everyone can only dive into the water with Iva Xieyan and enter Professor Thomas' laboratory.

After some diving, the four demon hunters entered Professor Thomas' laboratory wet, but then they heard Ivana's surprised and vigilant voice.

"Geralt? What's going on? How did you fall?"

While saying this, he drew out his long sword, and the other demon hunters naturally did the same, looking at the cave vigilantly.

And the white-haired demon hunter was clutching his chest, collapsing on the ground, his body exuded a magical aura, and it was this spiritual gate that restrained his actions.

He was sober, but his face was full of anger that he was dissatisfied with his current situation.

As for why Geralt is in this place, the reason is actually very simple. Iva Evil Eye came to find the secondary mutation for the well-being of all demon hunters.

And now, he happened to find out that there was a demon hunter in Toussaint, so he naturally hired him and asked him to keep an eye on the laboratory, also in order to help him carry out mutations.

(About why Master Jie is in Toussaint, of course it is because of the matter of finding a girl. Master Jie stayed here in Toussaint for a whole winter. It was not until he accidentally eavesdropped on the internal discussion of the Imperial Opposition Group that he finally confirmed Wei Ge’s location. , followed by departure and decisive battle.)
"Someone broke in. I suspected he was a cat. He knocked me out as soon as I met him. I had no resistance in front of him."

Geralt, who was suppressed by magic, said in embarrassment that he really felt unlucky.

I came to Toussaint to find a girl, and I started to stay here because I didn't know the next goal. Finally, I can rest here for a while, and I can hunt monsters to pass the time.

Then he was approached by the master of the Snake School and entrusted with this task. Originally, he thought this task was easy and could further mutate himself.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Iva Xieyan left, he was easily knocked down.

The guy who knocked him down was really agile, and his attacks were accurate and ruthless, and then he was restrained like this.

Not to mention the physical pain, this is mainly too embarrassing, the first time he has encountered such a situation.

Even when he was an apprentice, he had never been so powerless. In front of that attacker, Geralt felt as weak as a child, which seriously hurt his self-esteem.

The four demon hunters immediately assumed a fighting posture, covered each other and rushed into Professor Thomas' laboratory.

It's just that they rummaged through the entire not-so-large laboratory, but they didn't find the existence of the enemy, nor could they find out what was missing from the experimental equipment here.

I searched until the end, only to find that the manuscripts of Professor Thomas about how he made the secondary mutation device and the idea of ​​mutation were missing.

Finally, a note, a very provocative note.

"My old friends, I have taken away the manuscript of the second mutation. Oh, yes, I recently took refuge in someone with real power. Just wait, Cat Pie will reach heights that none of you can reach—— Gizlas."

"Gizlas? He's still alive?"

Iva frowned and said, and his words made everyone here frown, including Geralt, who was helped to get rid of the magic imprisonment on his body, and Cohen beside him—even if he was a junior, We all know this man with a bad reputation.

Gizlas of Radar, founder of the Cat School, is also a notorious witcher.

Unlike the founders of other witcher sects, Gizlas was not a demon hunter when the demon hunter sect split, he became a demon hunter after the split.

Also, he's a half-elf.

The one who transformed Gizlas was the witcher splinter faction centered on Styga Castle, but the leader of this faction was the Warlock.

For warlocks, witchers are just consumables, and they have conducted various cruel experiments on them.

As for new demon hunters like Gizlas, the experiments they received were even more cruel.

But he survived, and fled with many victims of cruel experiments, who hid among the elves.

In the following years, the elves helped them avoid the gang of warlocks. In return, they used their martial arts to help the elves fight guerrilla attacks and secretly attack powerful enemies for the elves. This was the beginning of the cat school.

When the team grew stronger and its wings became more abundant, the demon hunters of the cat school took aim at the creators who had gone astray. They sneaked into the mansions of the magicians and solved these magic users in their sleep.

When the vengeance was finally avenged, Gizlas led the newly created cat school northward.

However, in the north, they still tossed out a bunch of bad things.

The wolf faction suffered a lot from it. They had been betrayed and massacred by the cat faction, and the reputation of the demon hunters was ruined by their cruel and crazy behaviors.

The characteristic of this school of demon hunters is that their personalities are extremely unstable, and at the same time they tend to trust elves and accept their entrustment.

Because of cats' various bad behaviors and unstable personalities, their life span is often very short.

However, although they are very unstable, they have a relatively high pass rate in the grass trial, so cats can still be seen all over the mainland. The cat faction keeps training apprentices in various cities, and most of them are still engaged in assassination.

As for Gizlas, he had been gone for so long that everyone thought he was dead.

And now, he appeared again.

"Well, it's indeed that guy's style of beating people indiscriminately from the very beginning, but it's strange that he didn't kill Geralt. How could that guy show mercy?"

Elan scratched his head and said, recalling the figure of Gizlas in his memory, he can only say that he really hasn't changed at all.

"Fortunately, at least that guy didn't touch anything here," Iva continued. "Basically everything is here, and a second mutation can be carried out right away. Just in time, let Geralt come."

"Ok?"

Geralt suddenly noticed that all eyes were on him,
"My situation has changed suddenly now? I was beaten up by the founder of Maopai."

"This is just right. In fact, according to Professor Thomas' records, you are just right for mutations."

Ivar's words made Geralt slander, you don't think I'm a guinea pig, do you?

But that's all he thought, and he still trusted Iva.

And he also knew from the chat with Ke En before that there are three masters of the witcher school here, and he, a junior, can't just obey orders when facing these three.

Iva quickly installed the mutation device that had been prepared for a long time. Next, Geralt walked into the mutation device that resembled the Iron Maiden. When the device was activated, White Wolf suddenly felt a huge change in his body.

And this change is a good change, a very good change.
