The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Okay, we should disembark." Zelin took off his hood and moved his shoulders. The canopy of giant trees tens of meters high shades the sky, and the sun shines through the branches and leaves, spreading shadows on the muddy and damp land. People came and went at the trading station, and the workers shouted the password and carried the box to the wooden cart: "How do you feel? Is it okay?"

"Yeah."

Aneth nodded slightly.

She was taciturn along the way.

"Let's go, we can rest here for a while, and then go up the mountain. That section of the mountain road is not very easy to walk. Um... do you want to experience the feeling of flying?"

"Flying?"

Aneth showed an unexpected look, and she shook her head: "Don't bother to go to the warlock."

"No, you'll know it then, it won't be troublesome at all." The guest in front had already stepped on the wooden plank to disembark: "Let's go."

The fence of the floating port still exists, but the area outside the fence is getting wider. In the past, Luo Lieduo used stone walls to artificially separate human and non-human settlements, but his successor obviously did not have this requirement. Foltest entrusted an idle aristocrat with no fief to manage this land, and this aristocrat was a well-known fisherman, and his greatest interest was to hold a fishing competition in the floating port.

In the past, between the trading post and the floating port was an open space full of weeds, and there was only one small intestine path that was stepped on by the collectors. Today, many dwarves have established temporary camps here. Since the monsters in the nearby caves were wiped out, some dwarves from the mountain left Carbon Mountain, passed through the gate of Mahakam, and went to the floating port to explore for minerals. They believe that there must be mineral resources here, and they are veins that have never been mined.

"Dwarf."

Aneth walked quickly behind Zelin, her eyes widened under her hood, looking at the camp on the side of the road: "There are so many of them."

"Have you not seen it in La Varetti before?"

"I have seen it." Aneth stretched out her hand and gestured: "Blacksmith, come to the castle to deliver goods, but my mother never allows me to leave the castle."

"Because you have to learn how to protect yourself before you can travel alone."

The tents of the dwarves are located on both sides of the road outside the trading station, and each tent has a family crest representing its own family. Compared with humans, dwarves value family relationships more. Perhaps there is no more united blood bond in this world than the dwarf family, but now, more and more young dwarves are choosing to leave the family and seek life opportunities in the towns and mines under the mountain.

There are several fishermen standing around the dock of the floating port. One of the anglers is wearing a light blue shirt decorated with white stripes. A feather is inserted behind the cocked hat on his forehead, and the pipe in his mouth blows clouds. Foggy, under the brown leather pants are a pair of long waterproof boots.

The angler stared closely at the buoy on the water. After a few seconds, he slammed the boom, and the fishing line was thrown into the air. There was a huge catfish twisting its body below.

There was a burst of cheers from the nearby crowd.

"Look what I said? Big fish can definitely be caught here, at this point in time." The attendant next to the angler helped to take the fishing line, took off the hook and held the struggling fish, and threw it into the bucket on the side. Inside. The angler was still excited to introduce his own experience, enjoying the praise and flattery of the onlookers: "As I said, I have been observing the river for a long time! Keep this fish as a reward for the fishing competition tomorrow. Who catches it? There are more fish than me, and my harvest today will be given to him as a reward! So, the contestants go and pray to the gods, because only the angler who is favored by the gods can surpass me."

"Baron Diem."

Zelin took off his gloves and walked up the trestle: "It looks like you have had a good harvest today."

"Ah, Master Demon Hunter." The baron stretched out his hand, shook Zelin's hand, and shook it: "It's an honor to welcome you back here today! If it weren't for the man in black, you should still be in the castle on the mountain. Don’t worry, when the war is over, I will help you get the castle back. Although the castle is not within the limits of the floating port, we all know that it’s your land."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I sold it normally. I have to abide by the agreement and agreement, and I have credit. Even if I want to get the castle back, I have to spend more money to buy it back. This is like a commission, since I After accepting the commission, I must try my best to complete it. Since I have signed the contract, I can't just go back on it." Zelin chuckled and shook his head: "How is your situation lately? Looks good?"

"The Codwin dogs are too busy to take care of themselves and dare not stick their long noses into the floating harbor." The Baron took off his pipe and waved his hand to the person behind him. The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed: "The Nilfgaards are still far away from here. May God bless your Majesty the King. The floating port can transport less and less trade tariffs in the past. The war has already affected the lower reaches. Just look at this river. I know that if the downstream is shrouded in war and no merchant ships pass the customs, we will find someone to collect tariffs."

The baron is known for his hatred of Kodwin and will never sell Tamoria's interests here to the people of Kodwin.

"War is inevitable. I really hope that these things will end soon."

"Yes, it ends early, and it must end with Tamoria's victory." The baron noticed Aneth beside Zelin: "This is the master, your apprentice?"

"Her father... is trapped in war, so I entrust her to me, hoping to avoid the war." Zelin didn't say clearly, and he didn't intend to say it, only he and Foltest knew about this. , There can be no third person: "War has always been unfriendly to children. I plan to take her to the south, through Mahakam, so that I can avoid the battlefield."

Aneth stood silently beside Zelin.

"You don't plan to stay? That's a shame." The Baron sighed, "It was pretty good here before you left last year. As a result, the group of dwarves came and started digging holes and mining for minerals. I agreed with them at the time. They also promised that the ore mined would bring a lot of income to the floating port. As a result, no one expected that the monster appeared again in the crevices of the mine. These months, every month There are monster attacks. Master, can you help us clean up these monsters? I originally thought about sending guards to stand guard in the mine, but they were eaten together with the miners, and then no one wanted to go down."

"Well, I...I try to contact other people." Zelin touched his chin: "I am in a hurry to leave, but I have colleagues who are still staying on Mahakam Mountain. He will not give up this money. Opportunity."

He wants to know about the floating port. Like other places, Zelin has not understood what happened outside for nearly half a year. In the past two months, he has been using various hearsays to make up for his previous experience in Ai. When Xerath, missed news and news.

"That's great." The baron sighed: "Please don't worry, the reward will be no less. The floating port is not even connected to the outside by a trail. I posted a notice in the trading post that he needed a demon hunter urgently. As a result, No one has come. If you want, you can stay in the floating port. The work here will definitely keep you busy from May to the first snowfall of this year."

"This is too exaggerated."

"It's not an exaggeration. The war seems to drive the whole world crazy." The baron rubbed his hands uncomfortably: "It's not just humans, but also monsters. This battle is completely different from the past. It attracts more monsters than before. It is as if all the monsters hidden under the mud popped up in an instant. Almost half of the income of the floating port is used to maintain safety."

"Ah, I have a bad news here. Your finances may be more difficult in the future." As he said, Zelin took out a letter: "This should have been given to you by the Wang's messenger. I just got it from Ai Rand came over, so I'll do it for you."

Chapter 2355 The little princess of the castle

Zelin knew what was written in the letter and asked the Floating Port to support more gold to Island in order to deal with the pressure of the current war.

Of course, this is a headache for the Baron, and it has nothing to do with Zelin.

After resting in the floating port for a few hours, Zelin took Aneth to the mountain. But after leaving the floating port and away from the crowds, Zelin found his griffon. When she first saw this beast, Aneth was taken aback. But after only half an hour, she became fascinated by the feeling of flying, and regretted that the castle only took such a short flight from the floating port to arrive.

Controlling the Griffon, landed steadily in the open space of the training ground in the courtyard, and noticed that Yousefka, who had appeared on the Griffon, was already waiting at the edge of the training ground.

"Joseph!"

"Zelin, I was just thinking about when I can receive your letter." Yusevka said with a smile, her sleeves being rolled between her forearms, she pinched her waist with one hand and wiped with the other. Wiping the drops of sweat on his forehead: "Have you and Enid settled the matter outside?"

"Yes, it's a perfect solution." Zelin turned over and jumped off the Griffin, then raised his arms and helped Aneth to slide off the armor: "There shouldn't be any trouble anymore, at least I estimate that in the next month, I can take a good rest for a while...Ah, be careful, it doesn't like others to grab its feathers."

Anais quickly withdrew her hand.

The Griffin flapped its wings again and flew up to a nest built on a sentry tower. Originally, Zelin was like a horse mount, setting up its lair in a wide training ground. Later Altea pointed out his mistake after the banquet: The griffon's lair is best located in a high place with a wide view, rather than a training ground surrounded by stone castles and wooden towers.

"This is...?" Yusevka came up, and she noticed Aneth beside Zelin.

"A friend of mine, he wants to go to the battlefield, so he entrusts his daughter to me, hoping that I can take care of it until the war is over and wait until he wins." Zelin patted Aneth on the shoulder: "Aneth La· Varetti. Just call her Aneth."

"Hello, ma'am." Aneth curtseyed to Yusefka in a jerky manner: "Excuse me."

"Oh, nothing, what a cute child." Yusevka bent down and patted the dust on Aneth's body: "You came back with Zelin all the way, are you hungry? Wait a minute, I'll prepare it for you Some food, just treat this as your own home. Let’s go wash it first. You will come back all the way and you will be covered with dust. I will find you a clean suit. Yamily!"

The response of the bleeding elf in the stone castle: "I am, ma'am!"

Yamily wearing a dark red dress appeared at the door of the main building. She held the door frame with her hands and stuck her head out: "What's the matter, what do you want, ma'am?... Oh, sir, you are back!"

"Go boil some water, Jamily, there is a little princess in our castle. I will clean up the empty rooms on the second floor, and come to the kitchen later. I will make some delicious food at noon today and have a good celebration."

Yusevka said jokingly. Aneth widened her eyes in surprise, looked at Zelin, and Zelin shrugged.

"It's just a description."

"When will you teach me?"

"Don't worry, we have time."

"I want to help." Aneth lowered her head: "I don't think I have to wait for others to save it every time. It becomes a cumbersome, and becomes... a tool."

"I understand."
