The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Zelin lowered his head, and he saw other human corpses on the ground wearing striped shirts with a southern style. Although stained by blood, it can still be recognized that the demon hunter has been to the south, which looks like Martina style clothes.

"Is there a man named Boone among you?"

It's like a standard. Southerners come to the north, but they don't know anything about the environment in the north.

"I am." A man with brown hair in a light brown shirt, not a thick beard, raised his hand, and his white turban was stained with blood.

"Your wife and brother hired me to find you." Zelin took out the ebony blade and cut the chains outside the cage with a sword. Then he looked at the others: "I will let you out too, and walk north from here. There is a refugee camp. The refugee camp is right in front of a wooden bridge. There is a checkpoint for Redania soldiers on that bridge. After inspection, they will let you go."

He used an ebony blade to cut the chains of the other cages. People escaped from the cage and thanked the demon hunters one after another.

"Hurry up, don't stop, it's not safe at night, no matter what sound you hear, don't stop when you see anything, don't look back, understand?"

"Thank you, Master Demon Hunter."

"May the gods bless you, master."

"Leave quickly, I want to stay and deal with this."

Seeing the four refugees leaving behind, Zelin turned his head and looked at Boone: "Why did you come here? Walking east along the Ponta River, you are likely to encounter Nilfgaard’s slave hunting team. Their barracks are just upstream of the river to the east."

"I'm going to Longqiao to see if I can get a pass. My family is unwilling to leave. They all thought that the Nilfgaards would not show up, but I don't think so. Look, it's here. If I can meet the robbers from the slave hunting team, I have to think about retreating as soon as possible." Boone shook his head: "Thank you, master. Otherwise, I really don't know if I can be in the new slave hunting team after the ghouls leave. Before you show up, pick up the lock. Thank you, but I have no money. I will take you home to get paid. But, you will not leave my son, will you?"

"I didn't ask for the accident rate, but Boone, before that, you can tell me what you plan to do." Zelin suddenly asked, "Your brother admires your boating and fishing skills. I saw the short trestle bridge you built at your house, and a fishing boat that can carry your whole family across the river. As far as I know, the village outside Redania is a neutral area, and Passes are not checked. Unlike those people, you have to cross a bridge to cross the river. Moreover, your brother lives in West Willen, where the village is not at all threatened by war, and there is a new baron who is king of the mountain. It is said that the man in black has reached an agreement with him not to enter his territory. Even if you go down the river back to your hometown, you will not be in trouble."

Boone pursed his lips: "Of course it's just in case, sir. Who knows if the man in black will keep his promise, everyone will worry, right? Thank you for your help, master, it seems that I can't get past today. . Please come to my house and let me pay you."

Escorting Boone home, Zelin collected 30 crowns from him according to his normal payment. Strong Ghoul is a group of difficult enemies. He is very happy that he has such a sharp weapon that can cut off the spikes of monsters, otherwise it will be difficult for an enemy with thorns to find a chance, especially the opponent's. The action is also as agile as a wolf. Considering that they are Temorians and they just live near the Ponta River, if they were the richer Ridanians, Zelin would have to pay sixty crowns.

Boone’s explanation is reasonable, but Zelin always feels something is wrong. Maybe he was a little suspicious, maybe Boone did have something to do, but it was not convenient to tell the demon hunter. This is normal, everyone has their own private affairs.

After receiving the reward, Zelin and Boone bid farewell to the whispering swamp.

After leaving for about three hundred meters, he stopped and tied the horse's rein to the trunk of the road. There is a soil **** on the side with some poplar trees. Although it is difficult to hide anything, it is difficult for anyone to notice the figures hidden here at night.

Walking to the top of the soil slope, Ze Lin held the tree trunk with one hand and looked at the fisherman's hut in the distance.

The candlelight is spread out in the courtyard through the windows. This family's life is good, otherwise no one would want to light so many candles when nothing happened. For a long time, this would be a big expense.

About less than ten minutes later, Zelin saw that the door of the cottage was pushed open and Boone walked out of the house. His wife stood in front of the door, as if telling him something, helping her husband tidy up his sleeves. Within a few seconds, Boone put on his hat and walked quickly out of the fence. But this time, instead of going to the east, he took the trail to the west.

I was kidnapped just once, but I had to go out overnight.

If you are an ordinary villager, you will definitely stay at home now, lock the door, and pray for the sun to rise as soon as possible the next day.

Curiosity led Zelin to follow, and after walking out for about a thousand meters, the fisherman stopped in front of the ruins of a collapsed roadside house.

Zelin didn't approach, he stood in a relatively hidden place to observe. Before long, a woman in a hood appeared on the road riding a horse.

Chapter 2285 The Baron's Daughter

"How's the situation, Boone? Have you contacted them?"

The woman saw the fisherman standing in the ruins, turning over and dismounting, and the long sword hung around her waist collided with the tight leather pants. "What did they say?"

"Sorry, Miss Tamara, I failed. I ran into Nilfgard's slave hunting team. Fortunately, they were eaten by ghouls, and then a demon hunter happened to pass by." Boone apologized. Said: "Sorry, miss, and when I was approaching there, I didn't see a witch hunter. But the witch hunter may not be there anymore. Their relationship with the men in black has always been bad, and there are men in black. , There must be no witch hunters."

"You're right, the eternal fire has always blessed the north, so they won't give a good face to the invaders from the south..." The sabre woman took off her hood, revealing short bristle hair and a face with a rather determined look: "Thanks for your hard work, Boone, you are a good person. I have to find them elsewhere, otherwise my mother will have any idea about dealing with cultists. I have told her many times, but she just won't listen."

"Actually, Miss, what Madam said may be reasonable." Boone said tentatively: "I've heard of the church in the whispering swamp. The church ladies are good people. Their followers often help others for free, only Merrie. The nuns of the Temple of Terry are so kind. They are even more than the nuns..."

"No, Boone, this is really not a good decision. Eternal Fire is the best choice. I have read their books and their doctrines and propaganda. The missionaries are right, it is a dark one. In the ages, humans must help each other to tide over the difficulties." The woman called Miss Tamara shook her head: "Have few people died in the hands of the Squirrel Party in the past few years? In Aden and Livia, Are there few cities destroyed by dwarf explosives? No, not many at all. I don’t know who the whispering witches are, but they are definitely not humans. If they are not humans, be careful. They must be for some purpose. Show kindness."

"Well, miss, what are you going to do with your wife?"

"I have to consider another way to escape with my mother. Thank you for your help, Boone. But don't talk about these things, otherwise no one can say what my father will do to you... "

"I'm sorry, two. I know that there is an atmosphere that affects the secret operation suddenly at this time." When Zelin's voice appeared in her ears, Tamara subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword, and Boone seemed to have seen a ghost. Turned his head and widened his eyes: "But you sound like you are planning something very dangerous. Although I don't know what it is, it's definitely not about staying at home or trying to avoid disaster."

"Who are you?" Tamara asked vigilantly: "Why are you standing here? Are you following Boone?"

"He is the demon hunter I mentioned." Boone explained to Tamara: "He saved my life not long ago."

"The demon hunter can do many things for the bounty, such as accepting my father's employment and investigating whether my mother and I have a plan to escape his clutches. I told you, Boone, be careful to accept help from non-human beings. They don't believe in Eternal fire," Tamara looked at Zelin maliciously: "You saved him only to investigate what he was doing? I don't think his wife hired you to follow her husband. Admit it, demon hunter. , So that we can have a good talk and not let the situation get out of control."

"You really have a problem for me, Miss Tamara, how can one admit to something he has never done?" Zelin opened his hands: "I remember I told Boone before that I was Willen is looking for someone to go to the whisper swamp. I didn’t expect that after encountering such a danger, Boone, you would not choose to stay at home, but continue to run outside and meet another woman. This is for your wife. Not responsible, but also not responsible for your own safety. The corpse and the smell of burnt meat have made the monster crazy, and you may be eaten by the monster anytime you are outside."

"No, Mona knows about this." Boone flushed: "And this matter has nothing to do with you, Master, I have already settled the payment."

"It has nothing to do with remuneration. I have seen many similar situations. If I am not mistaken, do you want to help this young lady escape from her house?" Zelin sighed. There are always many young ladies who are naive, romantic, or hormonally burned out of their minds, who think that their lives are like stories in poems, and those who chant songs and love poems under their windows must be the lovers of their dreams. As a result, they eloped and realized that they could have spare time to fantasize about these unrealistic things, only because they had a wealthy family: "During the war, I really don't recommend this. This is undoubtedly only when I am with my family at this time. Is the best choice."

"The premise is that you can live normally with your family, right?" Tamara asked back: "If you have a father who is drinking all day, and this father beats your mother when he gets drunk, you will still choose to stay. Are you in this home? No, tell me, demon hunter, judging by your knowledge, is this home?"

Zelin looked at Boone, who nodded: "That's it, Master. Miss Tamara's mother is a good person. My youngest son was seriously ill. When we didn't have money to see a doctor, the wife gave me one. For a sum of money, let me take my child to the city to find the doctor. Without her kindness, my youngest son would definitely not survive. Now my wife is in trouble, and my wife said that I must repay my kindness. That’s why I was able to Run out at night. If it weren't for the **** slave hunters in black, I should have found the witch hunter there. The witch hunter captain here promised to help Miss Tamara and Mrs. Anna leave here and go to Austria. Sunfert goes to live."

"Okay." Zelin exclaimed: "It seems that I think too much. In this case, I won't bother you. Don't worry, I haven't accepted any employment to investigate you, and I don't know your father. I just heard you talking about the sect of the swamp. You can rest assured that I know people from that sect. I can assure you that they are all good people, and the only purpose of helping others is to attract people to believe in them. Fair, isn't it? You believe in her, and then she rewards you. There is no friendlier sect."

"Only a demon hunter can say that faith is like a dirty deal." Tamara's voice was unhappy, she pinched her waist with one hand: "Does this mean that after my father saw his mother missing, he rate When people go to the swamp, the people of that sect will hand me over with my mother?"

"Of course not, I definitely won't." Zelin waved his hand vigorously. The narration of the woman in front of him reminded him of Lambert's past. Of course, this was not what Lambert said, but Vesemir two years ago. While chatting with Zelin, Zelin wondered why Lambert was so hostile to him who wanted to rebuild the academy. Vesemir gave the explanation-Lambert’s father had been violent at his mother at home, so he and his mother were together Pray, hope his father will die soon. As a result, his father got drunk at night and fell into the nest of evil spirits. But he was rescued by a demon hunter. The request of the demon hunter is the apprentice in return. As a result, Lambert's father did not die, but he was forced to leave the house.

So for this kind of thing, he can somewhat understand the woman in front of him.

"There have been some troubles in the church recently. Have you heard about Novigrad? A fire killed more than 30 witch hunters. So the witch hunter you contacted may have received a temporary transfer order. I went to other places." Zelin suggested: "Why don't you go to Whisper Swamp and hide there first according to the lady's previous thoughts. Wait until the witch hunter has news, and then decide what to do next. If you If I like, I can help you and **** you to the swamp safely and get the help you deserve there."

Tamara looked up and down Zelin: "How much do you want?"

Chapter 2286 The Crow's Nest

Zelin only wanted a low price.

He can’t do without any compensation. Sometimes a higher employment fee makes people think that this person is worth the price because of his strong professional ability. There are other greater interests, or other purposes to do so.

"He is a demon, and my mother and I can't wait to get rid of him!" On the way, Tamara obviously has no affection for her father: "My mother has been praying to the gods, but the missionary of the eternal fire just appeared. Here. I have seen their propaganda and teachings, and they are right. When the Nilfgadian and non-human races are eyeing the dominance of humans, people must help each other. The witch hunter is willing to help me. , Take my mother and me to Osenfurt."

"Oceanfort is a nice place, but are you ready for the money? The cost of living there is not low."

"How tall can I be? I am going to join the witch hunter of Eternal Fire. I can make money and have the help of the church. How difficult can life be?"

"What if the church is also experiencing difficulties?"

"How is this possible? His Majesty Ladovide is a pious king. Besides, who can make the followers of the gods encounter difficulties?" Tamara waved her hand: "I hired you to help not for these things. . I saw you have a horse? This is great. My mother is not very well recently. She can’t ride a horse, so I’m looking for a cart. Your horse can pull a cart, right?"

"Your mother's health is not good? It's not a short distance to Osenfurt from here."

Following Tamara through the swamps of Willen, Zelin paid attention to the direction they were going. "Where is your home? If you continue to move forward, you must walk closer to the swamp."

"You must have heard of that place. Oh, I haven't told you who I am, right? My father is the **** baron in this land."
