The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"The corpse?? You actually asked my followers to act as a corpse? The purpose of you summoning me with the summoning charm is for this?" Yulia, wearing a black iron mask, was full of displeasure. "The people who follow the Green Church have always slandered my followers as mad corpses, but now you are asking for..."

"I'm sorry, Yulia, but I really need your help in this matter."

Regarding this hall, Zelin thought that when he first entered Hakon's castle, he sneaked in from the backyard of the castle and saw many skeletons sitting at the banquet table in an abandoned banquet hall. As a result, they just stepped into the banquet hall, and these skeletons woke up immediately and attacked him. He couldn't find a group of obedient ghouls, but he could find a group of people who looked similar to ghouls.

The eyes in the crevices of the iron mask looked up and down at the demon hunter.

"If it wasn't for your relationship with my eldest sister, I would definitely leave immediately."

Zelin sighed lightly. "Thank you, Yulia."

"How many people do you need?"

"Um... a lot. You may need dozens of them. It's better to find some powerful ones, because you have to fight some soldiers."

"We will never lack battle, even if we spend a few days in peace in the world in the painting." Yulia put her hands on her chest and looked around: "How is the eldest sister?"

"She's not bad, except that sometimes there may be conflicts with Siris. You have the opportunity to visit her. She has never liked to show up in front of other people, but you must be the exception." Zelin recalled what he had said to Frid some time ago. Memories: "Except for a few moments, she was mostly invisible. I always hope that she can chat with other people, but... alas, it’s not good to be alone for too long."

"Well...When I have time, I will visit Lilianne with her." Yulia took a deep breath. "Tell me, what do you need my followers to do?"

"It's very simple. Sitting at these tables is like attending a banquet, but you have to lie on your stomach." Zelin pointed to the parliament hall of the Luoxia Palace: "Actually, you don't need to wait until later to visit Frid, I I still need her help tonight with some things."

"...Those corpses are very strong. Hardy was torn apart by a corpse at once, and then Eugene, who was grabbed by an ankle by a living corpse and dragged into the basement. Huber Specially used the sword to chop the living corpse around, but the living corpse actually blocked the sword with his arm! Captain Alam let us break through, the door was unable to open, so we could only break through the inside of the palace, but just ran out not far , I met a golem, and the golem broke the stairs and separated us!"

"Golem? It's like a trick that **** witches would do." Uzekalu snorted, he pinched his waist, walked to the camp gate, and looked at the still brightly lit Island of Sunnid in the distance: "You guys Could it be that I was so scared that I forgot how to use anti-magic metal? With those shields, even if a fireball the size of an adult hits it, the impact is not as good as a crossbow arrow! Why didn’t you use shields to attack the gate? Surround the gate with anti-magical metal, and the continuous spell on it will be disturbed. Don’t tell me that you have forgotten all this!"

"That doesn't work at all, sir! We have tried it all." The soldier walked quickly behind the commander: "There is a curse, sir, it is a curse! Those witches cursed the island!"

"Then you tell me." Uzecaru spread his hand and pointed to the Luoxia Palace: "Then why is the door open again now? If the door cannot be opened, could it be the ghost that pushed it open?"

"...Fred, your mission is very simple. When a group of soldiers enter this palace, you stand invisible outside the gate, and when they enter, you close the door directly. There is a chain outside the door, after closing, Fasten the door with a chain." Zelin pointed to the gate of the Luoxia Palace. In the gate, more than a dozen living corpses of the world in the painting are ready. They seem to be very numb to everything here. Yulia said that there is no flame here. Except for Frid, who has a flame in his body, there is probably no undead person willing to stay here for a long time.

Frid went into hiding without saying a word. The bushes outside the arch were pushed away by invisible force, and then closed again.

"She's in a bad mood?" By her side, Maria, who was floating in the air, had her arms crossed, her gaze at the place where Frid had disappeared. "Did you have a conflict with her?"

"No, she has always been like this. Don't look at her being so cold, but in fact she treats her friends very warmly." That night, in Lomugne, Zellin asked Freid why he didn't want to talk to people. She said that she hadn't talked to anyone for a long time, let alone what to say. Wrong words can hurt people. She didn't want to get froze with other people in Zelin's castle, so she avoided communication at all. "Maria, maybe this time, you need to do some trivial things, do you mind?"

"Which time would I mind your request, eh?" Maria raised the corner of her mouth, and a gentle smile appeared under her cocked hat: "What kind of trouble do you have, do you need me to help you solve it?"

"It's just a small matter, it's not troublesome." Zelin shook his head. "I hope you and others can help play the ghost."

There was a look of doubt in Maria's eyes, she lowered her gaze, looked at her body, and raised her head again: "I almost thought I had a body. Where, who should I kill?"

"No, it's a secondary issue to kill someone." Zelin waved his hand. "We want some people to dare not step into this cursed land."

"Curse? What a joke. I have studied in the military academy. If there is a curse in a place, it means there is a witch hidden in it!" Uzekalu snorted disdainfully: "Gather all the anti-magical metal gears. Soldiers, today we are going to sweep the island, otherwise so many witches will be let go, and everyone will be on the gallows! How did you get out?"

"It's a wall, and there is a gap in the wall. I escaped from the gap in the back garden of the palace!" The soldier swallowed, "There are fifteen people in our team. Only me and Hall walked to the wall alive. By the side, there are traps and traps everywhere. The garden is very dangerous, and there are plants that can eat people. When Hall saw a gap at the time, he ran over, but was entangled by a vine and dragged into the bushes. Here. Your Excellency, you must find a professional warlock, the anti-magic metal is useless for the curse inside!"

"A ten-year-old child knows that anti-magical metal can limit the power of a wizard. This is common sense!" Uzekalu walked out of the tent. "You follow me, I don't believe it. If there are fifteen captains wearing anti-magical metal gear, plus three hundred soldiers, how long can the witches in that palace hide! The emperor has ordered that these hostile empires must be eliminated The wizard, long live the empire!"

The soldier repeated one side without hesitation.

"Long live the empire!"

Chapter 2251 The Cursed Land

With his hands behind his back, Uzecaru looked at the stone arch that stood in front of him. The arches opened outwards, the round tables in the hall were covered with dust, the corners of the walls were hung with cobwebs, and a few spiders were lying on them, gradually receding into shadows as the light spilled in when the door opened.

The sky is overcast and the sun is hidden in thick clouds.

"The sun **** is on top." The commander touched the neatly-kept Bazi Hu, and Hu Jian was smeared with oil, looking bright and tidy. It is said that the barbarians in the north don't even know how to shave. "There are no dead bodies here, huh?"

The soldier following widened his eyes and scanned the hall. Except for some run-down, there are no superfluous traces. There were no living corpses, no blood stains, not even traces of fighting. The dust on the ground seemed to have been spread on it for a long time, and I didn't even see a footprint of a living corpse in the thick dust.

Except for the traces left by the iron boots of Nilfgaard soldiers.

A series of iron shoe prints led to the inside of the hall and divided into two teams in front of the rostrum. One team went up the stairs and disappeared at the corner of the stairs, while the other went around behind the rostrum. There were some traces of walking back and forth in front of the bookcases and drawers nearby, as if someone had searched nearby.

"But, sir, this..."

"I saw the traces of your actions, the traces of your search, but didn't you say that you fought with a group of living corpses here? Several soldiers were killed? Why are there no traces of battle? Bloodstains?"

"This, this is impossible! It was here..." The soldier walked in and pointed to a clearing. "It's here that a living corpse attacked Hardy, and our armor is like tissue paper in front of their arms and claws. And here, Hubert is here to fight another living corpse, and he was killed by another one. Hugging from behind. Then...!"

"Quiet, soldier!" Uzecaru raised his hand. "Tell me, what did you do next?"

"We and the living corpse..."

"I don't want to hear the word living corpse anymore. Tell me, where are you going next?"

"Skeet and I fled to the back garden of the palace. Before, Captain Alam led the others to rush up the stairs, trying to cover us with crossbow arrows from above. As a result, a golem suddenly appeared and smashed the stairs. So they could only ..." The soldier was stunned in the middle of what he said. The stairs are intact, and tiny footprints can be seen on the edge of the stairs.

"Tell me the truth, soldier, did Alam lead his team to escape?" Uluzeka frowned. "There have been many deserters this winter. At the Battle of Sintra, how brave the soldiers of the Imperial Legion were. Those **** barbarians were vulnerable to the great Imperial Legion, even the witches on Sutton Hill. Throwing flames on the head of the legion, soldiers who charge forward will not take a step back! As a result, this war only lasted for half a year, so many cowards wanted to escape!"

"Sir, there is a problem here, there is definitely a problem here!"

"I know there is a problem!" The commander resolutely waved his hand: "Because there is a witch in it to curse, find her, kill her, here will be back to normal! Slander team, go to the left stairway, Search the second floor of the palace, the Dylanwu team, and move to the left on the first floor. The Arak team and the Gitland team search the hall and the back garden. The Kutern team guards the gate. Stand here. I want to know the end of the door. How was it closed!" He said, squinting at the scared soldier next to him: "And arrange a guard post on the long bridge, and no one is allowed to leave without permission! All the rest, follow me, and search for the disappearance of Alam Direction!"

Nearly three hundred heavily armed soldiers entered the palace. The Louschaft Palace is one of the few well-preserved buildings on the island today. The Gastang Palace at the rear was originally the headquarters of the Warlock Order, but it was destroyed by the Warlock in the last coup. In the civil war, the battle between the mages directly turned the palace into ruins.

Walking up the stairs to the second floor, the brown wood floor is covered with a blood-colored red carpet. Since the function of the palace in the past was for reception and accommodation, the corridor was relatively narrow and only allowed three people to pass side by side. On both sides of the corridor, there are portraits of famous warlocks in history and oil paintings of famous magic events. It was covered with a thin layer of gray, and it had obviously not been cleaned for some time. A nail in the corner of an oil painting had fallen off and was half hung on the wall.

"A group of barbarians who don't know what sanitation is." The soldiers following Uluzeka showed approval and disgust. "It is said that women in the north take a bath only once a year. Now it seems that these witches are the same. They sleep in the dust and deal with rats and spiders all day long, which is in line with the muddy men in the north."

Going along the corridor, there is a fork in the road at the end. Maybe it's because it is far from the hall, there is not much dust here, and the footprints are interrupted here.

Uluzeka gave a look, and a soldier holding an anti-magical metal shield stepped forward. After sweeping the air in front of him with the shield, he retreated.

"Nothing, sir."

"Don't separate, follow me, keep going..."

Boom!

The sound of falling behind made everyone turn their heads at the same time, and the soldiers subconsciously raised their weapons and shields.

The oil painting half-hung on the wall fell to the ground, the wooden frame collided with the ground and made a dull sound, and the glass shattered to the ground.

The commander pursed his mouth. "Go on, just one painting. Do you think you want to fight an oil painting? Find the hiding witch, no signs or clues can be let go..."

"Your Excellency, there are people there!"

A soldier suddenly pointed to the fork on the left and shouted. "Someone has passed by the intersection ahead!"
