The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Oh, that's great." Hawthorne pinched his waist and laughed: "Let's get started, baby, I'm going to watch an exciting gladiatorial fight tonight. What's your name?"

"Angoulan." She sniffed hard and looked at Hawthorne's neck and chest. "Who are you?"

"You don't even know me?" Hawthorne opened his arms: "But it doesn't matter, we can get to know each other right away."

There was a grunt in Angula's throat: "Do you have any anesthetic powder, uncle?"

"Do you want to have some fun?"

Angulan grinned: "There used to be many people who wanted to have fun from me. I would show them how I did it after taking a sip of anesthetic powder. Usually they can't forget, as long as they can remember If you want to." She stood up swayingly, and looked up and down at the somewhat thin Hawthorne: "Are you the only one here?"

"I never call more people in. What do you want to play?"

"No, uncle." Angula's eyes were like wild cats: "I just want to say that it's better to be alone."

Chapter 2268 The Prisoner Who Disappeared Out of Nowhere

Sunset Xishan——

"Come on, you are safe for the time being, slow down."

The corpse was spread across the path under the soil slope, Zelin walked to a prison car and slashed the chain with a sword. The students inside were frightened and leaned close together, as if staying together could warm each other. "You are students from Eritusa College, right?"

Three students were crammed into this prison cart. One of the older brunette apprentices nodded, and the remaining two were just leaning on the older students. The scene outside had already scared them.

"Don't worry, it was Dean Tishaya who asked me and others to rescue you." Zelin stretched out his hand: "Hurry down, I will take you to see the dean."

Hearing Tishaya's name, the fear in the students' eyes faded a lot. A student put his hand on Zelin's arm, bent over and walked out of the cage, jumped out of the car, embraced the few clothes left on his body, tiptoe to avoid the blood on the ground. The blood stained the ground. At the beginning of the attack, more than 30 witch hunters fell close to half of them. The rest wanted to escape, but they were quickly overtaken by bullets and arrows. The raid ended in only a few minutes. Perhaps the **** during the day is very safe, because pedestrians on the roadside will make it difficult for the ambushers to keep secret, but if the fighting time is too short, whether there are pedestrians is not so important.

On the other side, Irene stood on the hillside, observing whether there were pedestrians and witch hunters approaching. Hazel helped the apprentice in another prison wagon to walk down. The apprentice's calf was **** and there were traces of the soldering iron. Alfred was comforting other people, he could easily divert the attention of the female student from the corpse on the ground to himself.

"Is this all of you?" Zelin asked the brunette apprentice, whose face was covered with dry tears. "Where are the others?"

"Melba and Leslie are dead. They are in prison." She rubbed the corners of her eyes vigorously, her eyes were red, and her voice was a little trembling: "Marva and Doreen were sent away. I don't know where they went. Everyone is here. Naomi’s leg is broken, and the others...the others are still there. But Mariana has been coughing up blood this morning and she needs treatment."

"Where is your escort?" Zelin asked. "Where are Cahill and Angola?"

"Mr. Cahill...that night, after our ship docked in Novigrad, the witch hunter rushed up. Mr. Cahill chopped down several witch hunters, but they were then replaced. Many witch hunters were defeated. The last time I saw him, he was being taken by two witch hunters in a prison wagon. He was not held with us. As for Angula... Locked together, but at noon today, she was taken away."

"Anyone else?" Zelin frowned. Angola and Cahill are not in the team, but at least it is certain that the two of them should be considered safe. "Is there any news about Xi'er? Xier Tansaviye."

"I don't know... All of us have been detained in prison these days." The apprentice shook her head vigorously, and she shivered again, clasping her arms tightly: "That prison is underground, we, we are He was brought in with his head covered."

"I see." Zelin nodded. At the other end of the trail, Jr. Yusevka directed another convoy to walk over, and sitting on the front carriage was an acquaintance of the demon hunter. After Xia Ni noticed the corpse on the ground, the corners of her mouth squirmed slightly, but her face quickly returned to normal: "Gather everyone, go to the carriage, and they will send you to a safe place."

The brunette apprentice trot to the other prison cars, Zelin turned around and looked at the graduates of Osenfurt College who were driving over. Young Yusevka straightened his chest proudly.

"I told you that I can find a team of coaches and a trusted coachman, and you still won't believe me!"

"Xia Ni? I didn't expect it to be you." The carriage stopped in front of Zelin, and Xia jumped down. There were four carriages behind him. Judging from the clothes of the driver, they were all graduates and teachers. "Why are you here? I heard that Osenfurt College was closed?"

"Yes, the college was closed, and Ladooved even asked students and professors to join the army. Professor Rasti opposed them and was arrested, thanks to your friend." Xia Ni wiped the drops of sweat from her forehead: "Miss Gneia, right? And Ms. Marian, Marian Hawke, you know them, don't you?"

"Yes." Zelin thought of what Gnaiya had said before: "They told me about it half a month ago. But they didn't tell me what happened afterwards."

"All the houses of professors and students are in Osenfurt College. We cannot return to the college. Radovide is still looking for us, but there are some villages nearby, which are mercenary villages. Adam Pangrat Regiment of the Freedom Legion. The leader accepted us, just northeast of Osenfurt College." Shani turned her head and pointed to the northeast direction: "There are a few mercenaries stationed in that place, and Redania’s army will not enter. Yesterday, Yusuf Ka suddenly rushed over and told me that some carriages were needed to rescue the imprisoned students, so I rushed over with other colleagues. What do we need to do?"

"Walk to the south of Novigrad, cross the Goose Yin Inn and head south, to the Ponta River, where there is a big ship with the flag of Kerviel hanging on it. Go to that ship, and the warlock on board will be responsible for the next Things." Zelin said, he paused: "How is Professor Rasti?"

"It's still the same, but his physical strength is getting worse and worse. The last time he blocked the closed academy, a witch hunter injured him. Fortunately, he has recovered now." Xia Ni sighed, "The times are terrible. I don't know when it will end. Thanks to people like you now, otherwise, facing soldiers and witch hunters, how could the students have the power to resist."

Behind, the injured students helped each other and squeezed into the carriage. At least six people were seated in a carriage. But there cannot be too many carriages, otherwise it will be too easy to attract unnecessary attention.

"I should go now. Good luck, Demon Hunter...Well, do you know where Geralt is staying now?"

Before leaving, Xia Ni asked suddenly.

"He went to Lomugne half a year ago, and then stayed in Frogin until winter. I think he should be in Kermohan now. It is estimated that in a week, he will leave when the snow melts."

"Is the witch named Triss still with him?"

"At least not now." Zelin pursed his lips. He remembered that when Vizima was investigating the Salamander Gang two years ago, Xia Ni fell out because of Geralt and Triss.

"Really? Well, I see, thank you."

She nodded and turned to walk towards the carriage.

Seeing the road where the convoy disappeared into the distance, Zelin turned his head and called on the others.

"Let's clean up here without leaving any traces. Manji never knows why his men and prisoners disappeared in the wilderness."

Chapter 2269-Deformed Monster

"You did a great job, everyone, it's unbelievable that you actually carried out an ambush not far from Novigrad during the day, killed everyone and rescued the apprentices." Tancred's face was a little bit. Tangled: "Did you do this alone? Are the fighting powers of demon hunters like monsters? Sorry, I don’t mean anything derogatory, but I just don’t know how to describe it. As far as I know, the best swordsmen are It is impossible for one person to face thirty enemies at the same time, let alone all of them riding horses... Are you sure you haven't let go of one enemy, Master?"

"I'm sure no one has escaped, Your Majesty." Zelin shook his head: "It is estimated that Heimfa and Manji will not realize that there is a problem with the **** until tomorrow."

"I have seen so many excellent mercenaries... My father maintains a good relationship with all the excellent adventurers and mercenary teams across the continent, but I have never seen a team of adventurers and The mercenary group can guarantee this level. Either there are too many people and it is easy to be detected by Novigrad, or too few people are enough to quickly complete this ambush." ​​He rubbed his forehead: "Master Demon Hunter, I I heard that your castle was sold to another merchant due to the invasion of the Nilfgaards. May I have the honor to invite you to build a castle in Kerviel? I am willing to divide a piece of land for your castle. Next, Ke Weir is ready to continue to develop within the Dragon Mountain Range, and skilled demon hunters will never lack job opportunities."

"If I have the opportunity, I would be very happy to go to Kerviel to work and find a commission, but I don't know if the other demon hunters want it, after all, I am not them." Zelin said euphemistically, "This matter is not over yet, Your Majesty. If Xi'er were really caught by a witch hunter, she would not be held with other people. I asked the students that they were held in a hidden place and Xi'er was not held with them. I guess the witch The hunter knew her identity, so he hid her in another place."

Tancred's brow furrowed, and the joy and surprise on the king's face were replaced by worry.

"Do you have any ideas, Master?"

"According to my past experience of hunting monsters, smart monsters like ghosts will choose to hide in places where people are hard to find once the crowd is large. I am not talking about caves in the wild, but basements that no one would think of. "Standing in the dock warehouse, Ze Lin explained. On the other side, Tisya is learning about the Lomune Order from Triss: "My...under the castle there was a small town called Floating Port. There were many evil spirits outside the floating port. Later, when someone went to clean up the evil spirits, they blew up the evil spirits' nests in the wild and in the swamp, and killed all the monsters they could find."

When Gnaiya just arrived at the castle, she almost did all the commissions she could find in the floating harbor. Everyone thinks she is a demon hunter, although it stands to reason that it is impossible for a woman to pass the trial of the grass. In the beginning, Zelin felt a little uncomfortable with this, the Demon Hunter? This is simply joking. However, the example of Xili later made Zelin realize that the purpose of the trial of grass is to allow ordinary people to gain powerful power against monsters. If the power is strong enough and possesses the knowledge of the demon hunter, then the inability to use the seal may also be called. For the demon hunter.

“As a result, a family’s child disappeared. At first, we thought it might have been made by water ghosts. After all, there will be water ghosts near the river, just like ghouls must be haunted near the tomb. Finally, we found a crack in the basement wall of the family’s house. Behind the crack was an underground cave. When some of us cleared the cave, we discovered that there was a cave like an underground labyrinth under the floating port. Full of evil spirits."

"This is really terrible." Tancred said dryly.

"Students were brought into prison with their heads blindfolded. I think if it is a normal prison, there is definitely no need to do this."

"Perhaps to prevent students from seeing where they are being held? Or to prevent others from seeing apprentices who have been arrested?"

"This is impossible. They are all ready to burn them to death in Osenfurt tomorrow. This afternoon, Manji gave a speech on the square of the leader before the **** team set off, and burned dozens of books on the spot. Forbidden books on astronomy, plants, and biology." Zelin shook his head: "I have a guess that students are actually being held underground in a very common building, and other people may also be like this. Radovide was in Lomu last year. Nirvana signed the cult agreement. He can't detain warlocks and warlock apprentices openly and without reason, so he certainly won't be a prison."

"But, since the eternal fire has decided to burn the apprentice to death, will Ladovede still care about the agreement?"

"Which evidence shows that Ladovide ordered the eternal fire to do this? He is very smart. The prison of Ridania has never held any warlock or warlock apprentice. The warlock can't hold his handle, and he can Pretending to be a victim in front of the people, he was unable to attack these demons and witches because of the pressure of the warlock. In the end, his donation to the eternal fire can not only get the goodwill of the people, but also inspire people to face the invasion. Patriotism." Zelin stretched out three fingers: "As far as I know, in this war, Rydania mobilized 30,000 soldiers. It is impossible to have so many suitable soldiers simply relying on forced enlistment."

"Do you have any plans, Master?"

"I have a very simple plan. It may be a bit risky, but... please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will find Xi'er's whereabouts as soon as possible."

Hearing the footsteps, Zelin turned and looked at the two female warlocks on the side. Triss came over and bowed to Tancred.
