The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Sometimes, I keep wondering if what I do is against professional ethics." Sitting in front of Ada Emin, the ethereal bandage was soaked in the water of magic: "Some things cannot be sold, no matter the price. How high."

Ada Emin stared at the Void Spirit blankly.

"Through engine energy." She said faintly: "Exchange stable channel technology."

"Every time I tell Zelin's news to his wife, I feel uneasy. Do you know, ma'am? I think I'm doing good deeds. His wife wants to know something. I can never say nothing. But it’s not a good thing for Zelin. So in the final split, I gave him an extra part of the coin."

Ada put her hand on the table, and an orange fluorescent crystal appeared in her hand.

"A thousand crystals of the purest chaotic energy."

"It's not a question of money, your sage, do you know? Today I saw Zelin from a distance surrounded by his wife and lovers in the banquet hall, I was thinking, if I can bring time back to the past , I will definitely not agree to sell his news to..."

"Ten thousand."

"How about the deal, how about the delivery in one month? I have to prepare, it will take time." A bandage of the virtual spirit wrapped around the crystal and raised it in front of him. "Chaos magic power? It's like fel energy, and it's not like...between fel energy and undead? It's strange energy. I need two thousand as a deposit."

"No problem." Ada's voice was calm. "But you must tell me the progress of the preparations every five days."

"Of course, ma'am, this is what I should do." Xu Ling stood up, bowed lamely to Ada, and slowly exited the sage's laboratory.

After the virtual spirit disappeared outside the laboratory, Ada stood up and walked to the magic circle depicted on the star map. A white light enveloped her, and she opened her mouth, her voice ethereal.

"I have found a brand-new teleportation technology that may be used outside the door of the world."

"How reliable is this technology?"

There were echoes in the air, as if they were coming from a very far away place, and after countless expansions, they could reach the ears of the sage.

"You can make your own judgment, and the merchant says it will be delivered in one month."

"Use exotic technology carefully, Ida, you and I know that the worlds are dark forests, and there is only malice and greed among civilizations. We must never break into the tiger's mouth to avoid hoarfrost, otherwise Ain Woododd will never be revived. The day."

"I understand your worries and hope your plan can succeed, otherwise, I will have to choose another path, Avalak."

Chapter 243 The Curse of Wild Hunt

Snow is flying

"Who are you talking to, Avalak?"

Xili rubbed her hands and asked curiously.

"A friend." The elf sage's tone was flat. "She made some interesting discoveries."

"What found?"

"Put your attention in front of you, Javier." Avalak stared into the distance. "Sooner or later you will face a more terrifying environment than this."

Xili and Avalak were sitting in a shield. Outside the shield, the sky and the earth were dyed white by the boundless snow. Stepping on the wide street, Xili looked at the snow-covered iron box beside him.

"I've seen this kind of thing before." Xili reached out his hand, knocked on the edge of the iron box, and kicked the rubber tire under the iron box. "At that time I went to rescue Geralt. In a world, on a black road with all kinds of strange lines, there are such iron boxes everywhere. They will glow and run better than the best steed. Hurry up. That must be magic, right? The box that casts the spell is advancing on a special road depicting the magic circle. I have never seen such a hard and smooth road. The best craftsmen can't polish such a flat butted slab."

"Many worlds have been at that stage." Avalak could not hear any emotion in his voice, as if he had been used to all of this: "Development is advancing by leaps and bounds, and finally stagnated, and finally self-destructed in the stagnation. This civilization...at least will not be destroyed in the hands of its own people."

"This is destroyed?" Hiri opened his eyes wide: "I thought this was an abandoned magic relic..."

"I have seen a prosperous civilization, but I don't know that the sun above them is about to go out. I have seen a prosperous race who knows nothing about the meteorite that is about to bring destruction." Avalak maintains the shield, wind and snow. Beating on the shield, the continuous blizzard seemed to never stop. "The Elves of Ain are lucky. When Hoarfrost comes, we have mastered the ability to travel through the world. Unfortunately, if Hoarfrost can give us a few more years, perhaps the essence of the entire race can be equipped with more manufacturing. The white ship and the black ship that came out. But in this civilization, they can’t even walk on the satellites of the parent star, and know nothing about Hoarfrost. They can only be wiped out in a desperate blizzard. We are standing in the waves of Hoarfrost. , Hilly."

Hilly raised his head and looked around. "So, here is..."

"A civilized city." Avalak stood in front of a towering snow-capped mountain, Xili narrowed her eyes slightly, and soon she realized that the snow-capped mountain was actually a building completely frozen and covered with snow. "A civilized grave."

This race doesn't seem to like living on the ground. Xili didn't understand why the house was built so high. When living in Kyle Morkhan, every time he climbed the stairs to the top room of the tower was an exercise. , She could not imagine, if someone lived in a place tens of meters high, whether they would still be willing to leave the door to the ground. Unless the magicians here are willing to help ordinary people.

"Why are you taking me here?"

"Meditation, Javier." Avalak walked into an arch, and the waist-high snow automatically divided a path under the action of magic: "Sooner or later, Swift will soar in the storm and exercise your skills. Wings, experience the innate power in your body. If you can retrieve the magic power of the blood of the elder, you will become the most powerful mage in the known realms."

"No." Hiri shook his head. "I have given up that power. I won't pick it up again. Teach me how to use the blood of the elder. Stop talking about elemental power."

A hint of surprise flashed in Avalak's eyes, imperceptibly.

"Have you ever liberated power?"

"That's in the desert." Xili followed the sage into the arch, which looked like a library, but the snow had already poured in from the broken glass, and only a few unempted bookshelves were left in the deep snowdrift. The top was exposed: "After the coup in Sinide, I teleported through the seagull tower to the desert south of Nilfgaard. I was dying of thirst. I met a unicorn whose hoof was injured. , It’s still bleeding. I want to save it, I want to save myself, but swordsmanship can’t do that. So, I thought of what Ye Naifah taught me. She said magic is everywhere."

"Then you saw the magic, right?"

This time, it was Hiri's turn to be surprised: "Do you know that feeling?"

"Really?"

"Yes, I feel...I feel that what flows in my body is not blood, but the purest magic. I feel as if I am floating, and I can touch the stars and the purpose of the sky by reaching out my hand. I don't know. What I’m doing is as if I’m born to know spells and gestures. I took energy from the stars and the sun and healed the unicorn’s wounds easily. Then I just wanted water and made it in the desert. There was a torrential rain. As a result, it got out of control."

Hilly shivered, but not because of the cold. "I thought of fire, so the earth cracked and spewed out flames. The rocks and sand were melting. The lightning fell, and then I saw a black-haired woman appear in the flames. She said that my power could destroy the world. She let I see the future, I see in the flames I summon, I killed the Nilfgaards who invaded the Hinterland, killed the Squirrel Party, hanged Wigwarts, but the scene behind became me Friends I know, Triss, Margarita, Yar, Fabio, Yennefa, Dandrien, and Geralt and Vesemir. The woman asked me to accept her and take revenge on the whole world. . I don’t want this power, I don’t want the consequences of it. So I announced to the woman that I abandon her."

After listening to Xili's story, Avalak was silent for a while, before slowly exhaling: "You gave up the elements, you could have become the queen of the worlds. So you can no longer use magic."

"That's not me." There was no regret in Xili's voice: "I know, once I accept it, it won't be me anymore."

"But at least the space power in your bloodline is still there. This is the most important part of the blood of the elder."

"You know a lot."

"We have the same blood, Xili."

"Then why can't you stop Hoarfrost?"

"My bloodline power has been consumed too much in opening the door of the world for the first time, and you are the hope for the future."

Suddenly, Avalak frowned, he raised his hand, and a row of red and swollen pustules appeared on the palm of his hand hidden under his wide sleeve.

"What happened to your hand?"

Avalak didn't respond, he raised his head and looked to the sky through the window into the wind and snow.

"Xiri, we should go now."

"The Red Knight is here?" Xili put his hand on the hilt behind his sword.

"No." Avalak stood up: "It's just a few trivial things. Let's go, get ready, let me cross."

Xili put his hand on Avalak's arm, and after a second, only two footprints were left on the ground.

When Xili came back to her senses, the salty and wet sea waves poured into her nostrils, surrounded by a lush pine forest. But unlike the forest in another world before, this forest is obviously more familiar to her.

"Where are we?"
