The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Thank you. You must be an outsider, and locals like you in Novigrad have long since become extinct."

"Why not go to the Valley of Hundred Flowers?" Zelin asked, "Maybe it is not as rich as Novigrad, but at least it is the country of the elves. There will be no discrimination against you, and there will be no witch hunters."

"It's not that simple, sir." The elf smiled bitterly, and touched the bruised cheek: "My wife is a human, and my child is a half-elf. In Novigrad, people are proud of pure-blooded humans, but in In the Valley of Flowers, the pure blood elves have the highest status."

"There are no pure blood elves in this world except for...Francisco Fenbeda. Moreover, I remember that Francesca Fenbeda once ordered that no discrimination be allowed in Baihua Valley. In the situation, isn’t there a human affairs officer next to her?"

"Sir, you know Baihua Valley better than many people, but this is the situation. It is impossible for the queen to control the minds of everyone in her subordinates, let alone the clerks. People are rumored that those clerks are actually the princes. My lover, it has nothing to do with the queen." The elf rubbed the soil around the wound and took a cold breath. He didn't notice Zelin's strange expression: "At least in the countryside outside Novigrad, my children and my wife. I can live like a normal person. I came to the city today to buy some tools. As a result, Hatori no longer strikes iron and sells dumplings. Good luck, demon hunter, I have to go back as soon as possible."

Seeing the elf leaving in embarrassment, Zelin shook his head. Maybe he should tell Enid about this when he goes back.

But before that, he must resolve Novigrad’s troubles as soon as possible.

It stands to reason that it is undoubtedly very rude to visit a friend in the middle of the night without foreseeing in advance. It's just that now he doesn't have so much time to think too much. Kalkistan’s villa is near the main square. Most of the warlocks living here will buy real estate in the most luxurious villa area. For ordinary people, the house here may not be able to live in for a lifetime, but for the warlocks, this It may just be the reward they got after selling magic potions to the nobles to help the king solve a disaster caused by chaotic magic.

Standing in front of the muddy exterior wall, Zelin frowned. He believed that without the encouragement of others and the tacit approval of the city guards, it would be impossible for others to dare to do this to the sorcerer's residence.

Standing in front of the iron gate, Zelin looked around and noticed a button placed next to the gate, so he stretched out his finger and pressed it down. He had seen something similar. When there were many resident warlocks in the past, some warlocks would set up such a magic button in front of the door. So that they can see clearly how visitors should be served.

After being pressed, the button turns, revealing an eye at the back, which scans the demon hunter.

In the laboratory, upon hearing the reminder from the golem, the alchemist quickly patted the dusty robe. The side of the laboratory was piled up with saltpeters in bags. Amelia was sitting on the side, holding one in her hand. The plane map of Novigrad, carefully observing the signs on the map.

It didn't take long for Zelin to hear Kalkstein's voice in his eyes.

"Devil hunter Zelin, are you finally willing to show up instead of hiding behind and directing others?"

Hearing this, Zelin frowned: "What are you talking about, Kalkstein?"

"You sent that little white-haired girl to me and asked me to do this and that, but wouldn't tell me anything. Ah, just so, you can tell me now why I ordered so many saltpeters, right?" Kalk Stan’s voice was full of curiosity: "Do you know? I hate people who only say the beginning of one thing but don’t tell me the end. You have kept me out of sleep for two days. My answer, and a bag of saltpeter next to my bed."

"I don't understand. I didn't plan to come to Novigrad at all before. I really don't understand what you are talking about." Zelin spread his hand and stared at the eyeball in front of him suspiciously. He came to visit Kalkstein because he wanted to know the situation of the warlocks here. Among the warlocks of Novigrad, the only person he knew was Kalkstein. Kaduin and Dole Gare are not there. Maybe there are other warlocks here, but he is not their colleague. He doesn't know who lives in these villas: "What are you talking about white-haired girls, what's the matter?"

"How could you not know, look at this, it was not you who sent her..." Kalkstein turned around, and then his words stopped-where Amelia was sitting before, Only one map was left on the ground. Zelin's impatient knock on the door came from the alchemist's ear.

"I have something to talk to you, Kalkstein, can you open the door and let me in?"

"It's weird, where are you?" Kalkstein walked nearby, but couldn't find Amelia at all.

"Kalkestein?"

"Oh... wait a minute, I'll open the door for you." The alchemist returned to the laboratory with a puzzled face. He put his hand on a crystal ball, and the door creaked to the inside. Wide open.

Chapter 2261

As in Vigima, Kalkstein has always set up his laboratory underground. So as not to be stolen and vandalized. There is only one entrance to the basement, and he only needs to set a trap on the entrance ladder to ensure safety.

"She was here just now. I can swear that she was sitting here just now looking at the map." The alchemist scratched the back of his head, with confusion in his sharp voice: "Look, the map is still here!"

"Since I'm not here, don't worry about so much." Zelin waved his hand and looked at the laboratory. The petri dish was full of fungi. The glass tube filled with nutrient solution floated with animal internal organs, and the twisted glass tube was flowing. The liquid glowing with light blue fluorescence: "Do you know what happened recently in Novigrad Warlock?"

"The eternal fire has been harassing the warlocks, alchemists, and scholars here. I heard that someone's manor outside the city was burned by the mob." Kalkstein rubbed the red nose: "Damn it, if it wasn't for me. Vizima’s alchemy room was burned down by men in black, how could I come here. There are a bunch of spooky people here, at least in Vijma, people believe in the goddess Meritelli more, and the nuns in the temple hospital are all groups. Good girl, don’t encourage believers to commit crimes like the missionaries here."

"Do you know what happened on Sinide Island?" Zelin asked directly.

"Sunnyd Island? I don’t know. I have been doing experiments in the laboratory these days. I’m looking for a way to preserve organs. In the past, the cult treated patients by temporarily cultivating new limbs and organs. As a result, patients You have to endure the pain for a long time. If you can find a way to keep the organs out of the body and still survive, the medical practitioner can first perform a limb training, and then wait for it to be taken out of the warehouse for surgery when needed.” Kalk Stan pointed to the animal viscera and severed limbs floating in the nutrient solution: "This is the funding you previously sponsored me, but the man in black put my research on fine particle movement to a halt, and I can't do nothing. Considering what happened to Miss Heizer who was waiting for treatment in your castle before, I thought of this research direction."

"I don't know how many people can use this technology." Zelin looked at the surrounding experimental equipment: "I remember that a lot of money was spent."

"Each technology is expensive at first, and it will be simplified later." Kalkstein shrugged: "Remember that I said that the alchemist who burned the villa? One of his projects is how to find potions. He wanted to figure out what was working in the potion material. But unfortunately, his laboratory was burned down. I hope he keeps the research data. Don’t talk about it first, you just Speaking of Sunned Island, what happened to Sunned Island?"

Zelin roughly explained to him the siege of Sinide Island by the men in black, but omitted what happened on the island.

"Margarita led the other students to Willen? This is a good idea. No one in that area is willing to set foot, even the army will not want to get too close to the swamp. If there is enough food, in Willen's It should be okay to persist in the swamp for a few months." Kalkstein seldom smiled, his voice was like rusty metal rubbing against each other: "The students of Eritusa have always said that our class. Apprentices at Ad College Dressed like a peasant, now they have to experience the life of a peasant woman first."

"But that's not all. Before that, a group of students first evacuated by boat. They planned to borrow Novigrad to go to Kevel. As a result, when I arrived in Novigrad this evening, I only found it at the port. Their ship, their whereabouts are unknown." Zelin could guess that this matter must have nothing to do with the witch hunter. But the important thing is how to minimize the impact while getting everyone out.

"Witch hunter? God, do they really dare to attack the warlock?" Kalkestein put his forehead in his hands: "I thought they would at most persecute the old woman who could only make herbal medicine, and was confused by the irritating smoke. Witch. What are you going to do? Don't tell me you are going to robbery."

"I got news that the witch hunter might be going to transport the prisoners to Osenforte, where they will be executed, so I plan to take them off halfway. But what I am more worried about is that there are a lot of students, about 30. People, witch hunters may not **** too many at once. In this case, if you hijack the prison car halfway, you must prepare another group of people to act in Novigrad at the same time."

He can't expect Dikoscher to help him unreservedly. In this regard, a warlock with a common enemy is more reliable.

“It’s not easy to open a portal, especially here. It can be teleported over a short distance. You just want to open a large-scale portal to send everyone out. It’s easy to be disturbed. I heard rumors that there is a warlock for pulling Dovide worked and set up a teleportation trap for him. The warlock who teleported in the main city of Rydania is likely to fall into the trap after leaving the portal." Kalkstein's voice brought a trace of disgust: " I don’t want to think about this possibility. Someone actually kneels to Radovide at this time."

"There is no shortage of such people at any time. But I don’t need a portal. If they can open the portal, they don’t need to take a boat to Coveill. I want to ask, what’s the situation with you warlocks, anyway. , The conditions here seem to be getting worse and worse. It just so happens that Tisaya is also there, if you need it..."

Suddenly, Zelin paused. He looked at the wooden crate aside.

"President Tisya is also here? I don't know how the others are doing, but I think they should be willing to leave...What are you looking at, Demon Hunter?"

"Can you go out first? I have something to do."

"What's the matter?"

"You'll know in a moment."

"Oh! You are like this again, why have you been reluctant to make it clear? Alas, I feel more and more that you demon hunters are more mysterious than our warlocks." Kalkstein deliberately extended his voice, and he was helpless. He waved his hand, with his hands behind his back, and staggered towards the stairs. "Well, remember, don't touch my experiment table, no, you don't touch anything here except the pile of saltpetre."

After Kalkstein's figure disappeared on the stairs, Zelin walked to the side of the wooden box, grabbed the box with both hands, and lifted it up.

Amelia and Zelin looked at each other.

She took a deep breath: "Please keep the necessary calm."

Zelin moved his fingers: "I talk very little when hitting people."

"Violence cannot solve any problems."

"But it can solve you."

Chapter 2262: Means to Promote Reform

"Give me an explanation, why are you here and borrow my name to let Kalkstein do things for you?"

Zellin pulled a chair, sat down in front of Amelia, and looked at each other carefully: "I remember before leaving the castle, I told you to stay in the castle and help Yusevka. It happened to be snowing recently. When it melts, there is so much snow and mud, and the cleaning work will not be easy. When did you come here? And what do you want to do with the ship of saltpeter you ordered?"

"I came here five days ago." Amelia clutched her head, curled her body, and occasionally raised her eyes to glance at the Demon Hunter, and then hung down before facing the pair of golden eyes. "Before, I've been here before. The last time I came here with Gnaiya and Hawke, I found that some people in the Eternal Fire Church...they behaved very wrongly."

She would certainly not admit that these news had been learned from anesthetic powder dealers. According to the words and locations of the members of the Eternal Fire who bought the powder, as well as their subordinates and the flow of the powder. For three months in a row, the person who bought anesthetic powder for the leader of Haifam has always belonged to a man named Manji, who soon became the leader of the witch hunter. Surprisingly, some of the anesthetic powder has fallen into Novigrad. According to Amelia's understanding, Bishop Chape of Novigrad has never allowed this to happen.

People inside Eternal Fire are violating the orders of the bishop belonging to the same church. This usually means two things—someone in the church wants to oppose that bishop, and someone in Novigrad is violating his superiors.

"So when I came to Novigrad with them that day, I wanted to write a letter to the local bishop to find out what happened... I was just a little curious." She covered her forehead and passed. After a few seconds, Zelin didn’t say anything, so she continued: “But I think, if I use my own name, the temple guard would probably throw my letter where I don’t know, or it’s impossible. In the hands of Cha Pei, I thought that writing in your name would definitely be fine."

"Then what?"

Zelin asked: "Then what does this have to do with this ship of saltpeter?"
