The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"I know him, Uther Jr is in the academy, thanks to his care."

"That's it. Miss Gnaya heard about something in the floating port some time ago." Hawke explained to Yusevka. She took out a bottle of spirits, poured herself a glass, and looked at it inquiries. To Yusevka, the latter waved to her not to drink. Lifting her head and taking a sip, she lowered her head in confusion. The bottle of wine was much lighter than she expected.

"In the winter, King Radovide closed the college and required all students and professors except the philosophy department to go to the battlefield to fight for Ridania. The philosophy students were dismissed, and Radovide looked down on philosophy. Professor Latis is very opposed to this kind of thing, he thinks it is a destruction of knowledge, medical students can go to the rear hospital as a doctor instead of going to the front line. But Ladooved only wants soldiers who can hold the spear. So. When some soldiers closed the academy, they beat the professor who blocked the incident and went to prison."

"It's so..."

"So Miss Gnaya went to Novigrad with me. After she inquired that the professors and books of Osenfurt College were to be escorted to Novigrad prison by the guards of the Eternal Fire, she and I Waiting on the road, she killed a few witch hunters and rescued the books and professors." Hawke shrugged: "The first time I saw a king wanted to hold a book burning memorial to boost morale. And. Before recruiting farmers and citizens, students from the colleges and universities will be asked to enter the army."

At the table, Gnaiya and Zelin clinked their glasses, raised their heads and drank all the wine in the glasses. When Virginia refused to admit defeat, she filled a glass, but she choked and coughed as soon as she took a sip, her cheeks flushed. Long Yi laughed unabashedly. Hawke glanced at the traces of the re-applied label on the bottle of cider.

"I don't understand, it's too bad. Why didn't Jr. Uss come back with you?"

"Oh, she's back, but she decided to stay in the floating port today. She..." Hawke smiled awkwardly, and she glanced at Zelin who was surrounded in the middle. "She kind of hates him."

"Oh, she. I had hoped that she could find a man with whom she could spend her life in the academy, but for several years, there was no news. And..." Yusevka looked a little worried. Looking outside, looking through the window to the room in the courtyard, she lowered her voice: "Amelia didn't go to kill with you, right?"

"Amelia? Oh, no, how could we take a child to fight." Hawke seemed to hear something funny: "Even the Kunari don't let children go to war. We She left her in Osenforte before, and later when she was in Novigrad, she stayed at the house of a friend of Zelin, an alchemist named Kalkstein, who had a villa in Novigrad. The alchemist said that Amelia is very talented and smart. Maybe she has the potential to become an alchemist. And she seems to have met some friends in Novigrad, Kalkstein said. She often writes out."

"As long as she is happy." Yusefka smiled slightly: "At least, being an alchemist is better than doing nothing. I was worried before whether she would become a gambler... She didn't go out in those few days. Gambling?"

"No, she is very well-behaved. She has been in the room and has been reading most of the time. Although, I am a little worried that all she reads are books of Eternal Fire." Hawk curled his lips in disgust. "I hate these cult lunatics, don't let her look like that."

"Well, thank you for your reminder, I will pay attention." Yusevka nodded, she held her forehead and sighed. "Oh, if Zelin and I have children, I really don't know if I still have the energy to take care of Amelia."

"Hey? She... isn't she the daughter of you and Zelin?" Hawke was a little surprised: "I always thought it was."

"No, she was found in Zelin in the church town of Yanan. A poor child, the parents may have died of veterinary disease, only she is still alive." Yusevka's voice was full of love: "But fortunately, she should have walked out of the shadows of the year."

"...Zelin, do you know the details of the alliance messenger?" Francesca asked while Gnaiya and Virginia were fighting for a bottle of wine. "What do they like? What are their personalities and habits? What are the standards of good and evil, moral codes, and beliefs?"

"I'm sorry, the Alliance didn't tell me who to send as an ambassador. I don't know." Zelin shook his head. Tess only told Zelin that the Alliance would send an ambassador, and promised her that the ambassador must have a peaceful will, but she said nothing about the identity of the ambassador: "When the time comes, we can only respond to changes, but I know their beliefs. It is the Holy Light, the doctrine is still friendly, and some pastors may be a little fanatical, and it is best not to conflict with them in their beliefs."

"Um...then I..."

"Zelin, you are going to have a good chat with me tonight, fighting in another world." Gnaiya took Zelin's arm, her cheeks reddish. "Compared with my adventure, I just listen to your words and know that yours is more exciting."

"No..." Virginia punched a drink, and after forcibly drinking two glasses of strong alcohol, her cheeks were like ripe apples. "Today, say yes, yes, and me... hiccup!"

"You better go to bed." Gnaiya shook her head: "Look at what you look like now. Talos is on top. I suspect you are about to lie down under the table."

"I'm, um... it's okay." Virginia waved her hand vigorously: "It's a small thing! Don't believe it, you let Joseph say, am I drunk? Absolutely not! Joseph, I remember you took the room today It's packed, right?"

Yusevka looked at Gnaiya and then at Virginia, smiling somewhat reluctantly. Hillis sullen his face, and the corners of his mouth suppressed the benefits forcibly. Frid, who had been silent all the time, stared at Zelin with slanted eyes. The expression in her eyes was self-evident. Francesca was still enjoying the fish steak with her head down. Hawke covered her mouth and chuckled twice.

She knew that the most exciting time had come.

Chapter 232 Sleepless Night

It's late at night.

A drunken Virginian was lying on the bed, still wearing a robe, and muttering something in her mouth from time to time. Gnaiya, who had just carried her back to her room, snorted triumphantly, turned the mage girl over, patted her sleeping face, and then helped to take off her clothes and pulled out a thick quilt. Cover her to avoid catching cold.

"You are still far away, the imperial capital from the academy."

After finishing all this, Longyi walked around the room and tried to check whether the windows were closed tightly and whether the flame in the stove was completely extinguished before he exited the door and closed the wooden door.

The previously messy dining table has become clean, and Yusevka's sleeves are rolled up to the elbows, revealing white but not thin arms. She leaned forward and wiped the tabletop carefully. There was also a mop that had just been rinsed off.

"Joseph, haven't you gone to rest?"

Longyi walked into the main building of the castle, closed the door smoothly, and kept the cold wind out.

Yusevka raised her head, tucked the tip of her forehead behind her ears, chuckled lightly, and said with a slight complaint: "You, I drank so much wine with Vinnie today and made her vomit. This It’s not good for her health. She is not as healthy as you. She is invulnerable to all diseases. On the night of the first snowfall a month ago, she caught a cold and it took a week to fully recover."

"There will never be another time." Gnaiya scratched the back of her head and spit out the tip of her tongue: "Where is Zelin?"

"He just sent Enid away and went back to the room." Yusefka sighed. She closed her eyes, held the rag and straightened her hands and stretched her waist slowly. The gray cotton dress perfectly outlined the charm. A chic figure. "Ah~Are you going to find him? Then go quickly, he may go to bed too late."

"How about you, Joseph?"

"Me? The clinic is still warm. I lit the fireplace before." She threw the rag into the copper basin on the side and scrubbed it hard: "You go first, and you will go to bed when I finish cleaning up. You and Zelin will go out tomorrow. Is it? If you travel far, I will get up in the morning to help you prepare the jerky. There have been wars everywhere recently, unlike in the past, food can be bought in any village."

"No, I might stay in the castle for a few more days." Ganya looked at Yusevka with a complicated expression: "Joseph. Are you really jealous?"

"Jealous? I never understand." Yusevka picked up the cleaned rag, wrung out the water on it, walked to the fireplace and hung it on a wooden pole on the side. "Everyone is very happy. Isn't that great? I always hope that everyone will like each other and be very friendly. My sister has always liked competing with people for things. At that time, she and I just arrived in Yanan. I have to take her to apologize to the neighbors. I used to think, why is this? You are very happy, and I am also very happy. Besides, I...I have never been able to help Zelin. Busy, unlike you, who knows spells, is strong, and can fight alongside him. He loves me, and I love him. I want to be able to clean up the castle for him when he is away, and when he comes back, Have a warm and relaxing home. That's enough."

"Ah...Joseph?" Gnaiya rubbed the tip of her nose and gave a smirk.

"Huh?"

"Amelia doesn't live in the clinic anymore, don't you go back today, how about it?" She pressed Yusevka's shoulders with her hands from behind. "It's very spacious anyway, let's go up and rest together."

With that, she pushed Yusevka towards the stairs.

"Hey? Wait, I, I haven't cleaned up in the clinic..."

"Don't worry about that, it's not too late tomorrow. I haven't seen you in three months. I can't wait."

Longyi pushed Yusefka up the stairs. The doctor's reason told her it was best to refuse, and then go back to the clinic. This was crazy. But I don't know why, but her legs are a little weak, and she can only move upwards involuntarily under the push of Gnaiya. The figures of the two disappeared on the stairs, and after a few seconds, Gnaiya ran back again choked and blew out the oil lamp at the top of the stairs.

The main hall was dimmed, leaving only the smoldering wood in the fireplace, glowing with a little red light.

A chopped firewood was thrown into the fireplace, and the extinguishing flame was like a traveler who found a bag of clear water in the desert, jumping happily.

Flames were reflected in Chapei's pupils, and the bright brazier could not withstand the cold wind of Novigrad. The sea was beating against the reefs under the Temple Island, and the guards in front of the door shrank their necks, not daring to gasp. Sometimes, the chill in the atmosphere far exceeds the coldness that nature brings. The number of temple guards is decreasing, and there are rumors that witch hunters will take the place of temple guards.

King Radovide announced not long ago that in order to avoid the warlocks who took refuge in Nilfgard from destroying the rear of the Redanian army, the Eternal Fire announced to rebuild the witch hunters and hunted and threatened civilians in order to show support for Radania. The evil witch, and the warlock who destabilizes for private desires. Outside the city of Novigrad, several manors of warlocks and alchemists have been attacked and burned by unknown armed men. One alchemist was killed. Several warlocks fled to Novigrad to seek refuge.

Under Chapei's governance, this city has long become synonymous with tolerance and equality. The cooperation of various races in the city and the goods handled in the natural haven have brought Novigrad prosperity far beyond many cities in the north. But just a week ago, Bishop Heimfa ordered Manji, the captain of the witch hunter, to enter the city and start searching for criminals and escaped spies in the city.

"Master Bishop." Sister Janet stood at the door and bowed to Chapei: "Your friend has sent another letter."

"So fast?" A look of surprise flashed in Zha Pei's eyes, but then he was concealed again. "I see. Give me the letter." He stretched out his hand, as severe as ever. But now people respect him more than fear. In the past, no one in Novigrad was not afraid of Chapei. Later, they rumored that Chapei had a bad illness that burned his brain and became more just and friendly than before. It must be blessed by the eternal fire.

Janet bent down and bowed again, handed the letter to Chapei, then slowly stepped back and closed the door.

Recently, a mysterious friend has been sending him letters. About a month ago, he received the first letter reminding him that the hierarch of Haifam was about to send another senior member of the eternal fire to Novigrad to seize his power. At first, he dismissed it, but not long ago, he suddenly learned that Manji had arrived in Novigrad with a witch hunter. Generally speaking, he, as the local bishop, would have known such an important matter in advance, but this time, when the witch hunters lined up in front of the city gate, he got the news.

No one in the temple even reported this to him!

Tear open the envelope, Zapei unfolded the folded letter paper. He didn't know where the other party came from, and how to get the letter into his hands so quickly. Every time, almost he had just answered a letter, and a new letter would be placed on his desk the next day. This must be the help of a warlock, only they can do such a thing.

[Dear Bishop Chapei

I express my regret for what happened to you. In Novigrad, you did your best to spread the gospel of the eternal fire and spread goodwill to believers of all races, but there are people in the church trying to bring such a prosperous and beautiful city into the abyss for their own sake. I feel worthless and indignant for you, so I hope to help you and maintain this hard-won peace.

I know that you are a good peace-loving person, and hope to use negotiation and negotiation to solve problems and compromise to maintain stability. But I must tell you that not everyone in the Eternal Fire Church is as kind as you. They will treat your kindness as weakness and compromise as incompetence. Your concessions will only be exchanged for their pressing harder. For the future of Novigrad, if you can't completely control the city, how can you maintain the cause you have been working hard for?
