The Journey of the Demon Hunter

The wooden fence of the roadside hotel is long gone.

They rescued Yavin here, and met Xia Ni by chance.

The salamander gang killed the inn owner when they attacked Xia Ni. This inn, which was originally a landmark outside Vizima, is now in dilapidated condition and turned into a home for homeless people. In the corner, grass was overgrown, and the uncontained corpses turned into bones.

Zelin chose to leave on foot. Scenes from the past overlap with the desolate countryside.

How many people remember what happened here?

At that time, the demon hunter and the local druid went to Mount Balga to fight against the three witches. He still remembered Javik's Salamander Gang, Siegfried's Knights of the Flame Rose, and Yavin's Squirrel Party fighting to death in the swamp woodland. Only the sacred oak tree remained in the druid camp. There were traces of chopped and cut left on the oak tree. It seemed that someone wanted to chop it down and burn firewood, but failed. It's just that oak trees in other places are not so lucky. When people go to the fenced campsite empty, there are stumps after felling everywhere. The abandoned stone tower in the distance was even more dilapidated. During the siege of Nilfgard, the stones were removed as ammunition for the catapult, and rusty metal brackets were exposed where the stones were lost.

Two years later, the performance venue of the thrilling drama, leaving only the original wilderness, shrouded in the early morning mist.

Along the road leading to the east, he came to a small country road. On both sides of the road were black fields with no seeding. The bare black was dotted with a little green and yellow. This was once the most prosperous area in Temoria. There were countless villages surrounding the city of Vizima. The country lanes were densely covered like spider webs, linking large and small villages together, along the Ismina River. On the shore of the city, you can see several cottages at intersections and roadsides every few hundred meters. But more cottages were left with broken eaves and broken walls, and the charred beams collapsed among the ruins. From time to time, you can see men and women wearing linen clothes, standing among the ruins searching for something.

Rescue property, or simply scavengers.

At sunset, Zelin finally saw a village with still people, and the smoke was rising in the evening sunset.

On the way, Zelin noticed Nilfgaard's patrol soldiers, a group of four carrying halberds walking beside the farmland. Two women squatted by the river and banged their clothes. An old man sat at the entrance of the village, smoking a cigarette with his legs crossed, and staring at the demon hunter who was riding in front of him. At the entrance of the village, three young children hopped around on the rocks while singing songs written by someone who didn't know them. The sign at the entrance says the name of the village-Baiguoyuan.

"Heavy rain and heavy rain have been falling, Emperor Enhill snores loudly. I'm not afraid to meet his head before going to bed, wet the bed in the morning!"

"Don't sing, don't sing, don't let the man in black hear!" A farmer walked over quickly and drove the children: "Goydma, why don't you stop them?"

"Don't call me Goidma, my name is Delvin now." Another farmer wearing a white felt hat shook his head.

"What?"

"Delvin, it's Nilfga German, and my grandma is from Nezer."

"Oh, is it? Mr. Delvin, that's really thank you for not getting close to my child." The farmer's face instantly became a lot colder: "Then, may the sun guide you, Mr. Delvin.....Hurry up. Fuck off!"

Riding a horse, Zelin quickly saw an inn on the side of the road. Two horses are standing in the stables.

Several farmers who had just finished their dinner walked out while wiping their mouths. Through the opened door, Zelin saw an elderly lady boss bend over to wipe the stains on the counter. The farmer who came out glanced at Zelin.

"...Is that a demon hunter?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen them for a while."

Pushing the door open, the bent over wife raised her head: "Ah, welcome, my lord, do you need a hot dinner or a place to rest? The beds here are absolutely clean."

Zelin noticed that the white lily coat of arms was still hanging on the wooden stake next to the counter. In the past, hotels near Vizima often used white lily coats of arms as hall decorations.

"Need a place to stay." Zelin said: "Help me feed the horse."

"No problem, my lord. Please find a place to sit anywhere."

The hotel is dim, with only two candles providing a little light. Several young men with swords sat in the hotel, sullenly drinking.

"Have you heard? The men in black's troops have advanced to the city of Ailand."

"The gods cursed them, I don't know if your majesty can fight back again."

"How can you have such doubts? Tamoria hasn't died yet. Those running dogs who joined the men in black are damned! I heard that in Maribo, a group of powerful guys killed several men in black at night. ."

"Awesome, if everyone could be like these people, people in black would have been scared to pee their pants!"

"Hi, Zelin."

Suddenly, Zelin heard a familiar voice. Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw an unexpectedly strong old man sitting on the long innermost table.

"Vesemir." Zelin walked towards the opponent, Vesemir stood up and held Zelin's outstretched hand: "How unexpected!"

"Me too. I didn't expect to see you here." Vesemir kindly shook Zelin's hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Sit. Are you going to Vizima?"

"No, actually, I just left from Vizima." Zelin sat on the bench opposite Vesemir: "What about you? Are you planning to come to Vizima to do some commissions? Monsters are rampant here recently. There will never be fewer commissions."

"My answer is the same as yours." Vesemir shook his head: "That's it. A week ago, Geralt and I received a letter from Ye Naifah. I hope Geralt will arrive. A place called Willowby met with her. As a result, when we arrived, we didn’t know which army burned the village. Nothing was seen except the corpse, and there was no trace of Ye Naifa. In the end there was no way, I He and Geralt decided to come near Vizima to inquire about the news. If Yenifer leaves Willowby early, Vizima is the most likely place for her to go. Sorceresses like cities, and Vizima is the only thing that matches. Where requested."

Chapter 2345: Geralt's Commission

"You came here by boat?"

"Yeah, Geralt is so anxious that he can get here so quickly by boat."

Zelin noticed a crack in the leather armor on Vesemir's shoulder.

"What's going on?" He pointed to the crack: "You have been attacked?"

"Ah, it's a griffin beast." Vesemir glanced at the wound on his shoulder: "The soldiers are in chaos. Not only people are starving, monsters are also starving to madness. I haven't seen monsters attack humans so blatantly for a long time. It's still a creature like the Griffin beast that lives in the mountains and forests."

"What does that griffin beast look like?" Zelin asked suddenly.

"Do you still need to ask? Wings, claws, dark feathers, brown mane, more than three meters in length, should be a male griffon." Vesemir gestured in midair: "Geralt went to ask the local The Nilfgaard garrison commander is here. Their sentry is watching every road. If a woman in a black riding uniform passes here, she will definitely not be able to escape the eyes of those soldiers."

It was not the same as his griffon, which made Zelin's heart relieved. Unlike the local griffins, the griffins of Azeroth are four-legged with a pair of wings on their waists, while the griffins in the Demon Hunter's World are two-legs with a pair of claws on their wings.

"Actually, there is no need to ask the Nilfgaards."

"Huh? Do you know where Ye Naifah is?"

"Yes." Zelin nodded: "She is in Vizima City, and is the Emperor's guest."

"Oh..." Vesemir lowered his eyes and scratched his chin: "Do you know what she did to Geralt?"

"I don't know that she wrote a letter to Jello, although she has seen her once, but she is not someone who casually reveals what she thinks to others." Zelin shrugged.

The innkeeper came over with a bottle of beer and a wooden cup, and Zelin handed her a crown.

"But, I can probably guess what made Ye Naifah rush to write to Geralt."

Zelin filled himself with a glass and noticed that there was not much wine in the Vesemir glass, and he stretched out the bottle. The old demon hunter clutched the cup and shook his head.

"No, you young people like to drink cherry liquor and the like. I prefer this dark beer, which I just took out from the cellar. Nothing can heal wounds better than dark beer." Semir raised his head and drank the dark beer in one cup: "Then you say, what exactly is Ye Naifah for?"

Zelin looked around, his body leaned forward and deliberately lowered his voice: "Xiri is back."

"What?"

Vesemir looked surprised: "Really? I remember that child. She was trained in Kyle Morkhan when she was a child, and was then sent to school in Ailand's temple by Geralt and Terry Ribbon. Except that she often doesn't In addition to being obedient and particularly stubborn, she is the best-studied child I have ever seen. But I like her a lot. Sticking to the rules can't make a good hunter."

"Yeah, after all, monsters don't always follow the book." Zelin chuckled lightly: "Yes, she did come back, but she left again."

In Vizima, Zelin handed the wooden box Xili had left to Tishaya, hoping that she could find a way to repair the wooden box.

"Where did you go?"
