The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Do you remember one thing?!" Gnaiya gritted her teeth and said word by word. Xisali and Altea chuckled in a low voice: "Look, Zelin, they all think so, you have to help me and give me a chance to prove myself, just this time, how about it?"

"You can always find a reason that makes it difficult to refuse, right?" Zelin chuckled lightly: "I'll ask Bilbo first. I shouldn't leave yet. I'll tell you then. You may still pay. I’ve never seen Middle-earth, but believe me, the scenery there is fascinating."

"It sounds like you are on a trip? Just so, do you know the local druid?"

Hisalie put away the razor and asked Zelin: "I really want to visit the local druids and exchange knowledge about nature with them. My colleagues in the druids really want to be with friends from another world. Let's meet."

"Druids, I know some." Zelin scratched his chin: "There was a sacred druid forest in Towsonte. There was also a sacred oak tree in Aden, but later because of the war, the druids temporarily I left. But I know a druid leader named Ermia in the Skellig Islands. He has many druids and oak priestesses under him. If you want to meet him, I can write one for you. A letter, Enid can take you there, but you'd better be accompanied by someone. The druids here have some unique customs and rituals."

"I understand, don't offend them, I'm not here for trouble." Xisali nodded: "Elune is here, thank you, Zelin."

"I, uh..." Altea just said something, and thought for a while: "I really want to see the scenery of other places. If I didn't meet you at the time, I could still live in Yese Town. If I survived the accident, I must travel to other places. I have lived under the endless black crows in the night town for more than ten years, and I almost forgot the scenery of other places. This...if this If you feel embarrassed, I will stay here."

"Will this affect the mission's work?" Zelin asked.

Altea laughed: "Are you underestimating the responsibility of Her Royal Highness Princess Wolf?"

"Princess Wolf?"

Gnaiya and Virginia asked in unison: "Who is she?!"

The 2368th chapter returns to the lonely mountain

"This is a birthday party for me, but it's also a farewell party, Zelin. You and your friends are going to the Shire, but I may not be able to entertain you." Bilbo adjusted his collar: "Only Fro How much he can entertain you, I hope he won't become confused because of the influx of too many people."

"Farewell banquet, what's going on?"

Sitting on the portal platform outside River Valley City, Zelin raised his right leg and put it on his left knee, leaning forward slightly. After handing over the invitation letter to Zelin, Bilbo went through the portal back to the Lonely Mountain, and gave the invitation to his friends in the Lonely Mountain. He rested here for a day, and before leaving, Zelin just caught up.

Otherwise he really didn't know what to say to Ganya and Virginia, or anyone else.

"Are you going to leave the Shire and live elsewhere? Are you trying to hide from the Sackville family? Ah, I understand, to hide from your difficult relatives."

This is one of the disputes Zelin often sees. Once a person has money, it will inevitably attract the attention of some relatives, even if these relatives have never had any intersection in the past many years.

Bilbo lowered his eyes and poked his hands in his jacket pockets: "It's not because of this, Zelin. I have lived in the Shire for more than a hundred years. I know every corner of the Shire. That is my home. Maybe I will. Leave temporarily, just like the last time Gandalf and Thorin visited. But I never thought about leaving the Shire on their own initiative, that is my home."

Zelin frowned: "Then what's going on at this farewell banquet?"

Bilbo took a deep breath. He turned around and looked at the top of the snow-capped lone mountain in the distance under the blue sky: "This is a story from a long time ago. At that time, I rushed to the lone mountain with Thorin, but Halfway, I walked away from him, I fell into an abyss, and in the cave, I met a twisted monster, he called himself Guru. I don’t know if it was called himself or something, he kept making such noises ...What's wrong, Zelin?"

"Guru, he looks very thin, skinny, with a big head, two big eyes on it, only a few hairs on top of his head, and his body is bald. He has the word Guru in his accent?" Zelin Describe the strange creature he saw in Mordor to Bilbo again. It was one of the strangest creatures the demon hunter had ever seen, and it was impressive.

Listening to Zelin's description, Bilbo's eyes slowly widened: "You, you mean, he is in Mordor?"

"Yes, and I'm still inquiring about the whereabouts of the other Lord of the Rings. However, I don't know where it went afterwards. It has been so long, maybe it is dead."

"Ah." Bilbo sighed: "I thought... I could get rid of it completely. In the abyss, I guessed with him, and bet he would let me go as long as I could guess the riddle. In the end, In the chaos, I took a ring from it. That ring made me invisible, and I escaped after invisible. It was a magic ring, and I stayed with it until now."

"Magic ring?"

Zelin was very curious. He knew that in Middle-earth, there were not as many magic items as in other places.

"Yes, before, Gandalf came to visit me. He said that this magic ring may be dangerous, and it will bring danger to me and everyone around me. So I'd better leave the Shire, go to Rivendell, and go to Elrond. Go to the king's palace."

"I see, those elves have a way to help you avoid these dangerous influences."

Bilbo nodded, then, sweeping away the sadness on his face, he opened his hand while imagining the banquet scene. "I have to leave the Shire, so I want to have a grand banquet to make everyone happy. Think about it, Zelin, at the grand banquet, when everyone is happy, when everyone is happy. After congratulating me..."

He clapped his hands.

"Hey! I disappeared! I bet it will be spread in the Shire for at least 50 years! I invited Gandalf and other friends, and Gandalf said he would bring fireworks and a firework show."

"Then should I also bring something?" Zelin whispered, "Do you want any gifts?"

"Gift? No, no gift. It is the best gift for me if you can come." Bilbo walked over and patted Zelin's waist: "If you want to bring a few friends, you can bring a few friends, I believe Frodo can handle it well."

"Frodo, is your heir?" Zelin recalled the last time he visited Shire: "That young guy with curly hair?"

"Yes, his father is the decent and respectable Drogo Baggins, and his mother is Premura Brandy Deer. It stands to reason that he is my nephew, a kind and brave good boy. Put my bag in the bottom of my bag. It's better to give him all the family property than to the Sackville family." Bilbo sighed lightly, and he paced to the edge of the platform with his hands in his pockets. This used to be a ruin, only the round white marble is left, and the big lake glowing below: "It's like yesterday, right, Zelin? We are here to deal with the orcs, and against Smaug, and I still carry it with me. With that sword, it is the sword I found in the goblin kingdom."

"Yeah, I didn't expect it to be so long." Zelin looked at the re-prosperous River Valley City in the distance. Changhe Town was also rebuilt into the most prosperous trading hub here. Perhaps for the people here, it has been More than fifty years have passed, but for Zelin, it is really only a few years. And it was here that he got the treasure and brought a turn for the better. Without Smaug’s treasure, he might not have gone as smoothly as this in previous years: "Then, see you in the Shire."

"No problem, see you then."

Bilbo waved to Zelin, then jumped on the wooden boat waiting on the edge of the platform: "Go to Longhe Town." He said to the boatman, "Thank you."

Zelin also went to find Jaques. He and his mutants also lived here, and formed a large distance. After all, this mutant army had a large number of them, almost in the Knights of the Flame Rose at the time. The top knights all accepted Jaques's advice and became mutants.

Today's King of the Valley City has become the son of Barn, also Bard's grandson, Brand, who is the new leader of the northern mankind. Thorin is still the king of the dwarves, and old Bahrain has returned to the Lonely Mountain. It just so happened that he could take this opportunity to say hello to other acquaintances and friends. He has only been away for a year or two, but for them, it has been more than 30 years since they met Zelin the last time.

The 2369th chapter Groyin's welcome

Gushan is still magnificent and more prosperous.

Without the threat of Smaug, 50 years of peace gave Gushan an excellent development environment. The trade with the south is far and constant, and the hard-working dwarves from all over the country have created a lot of wealth. Countless gold flows out like a river, filling the pockets of every dwarf and human being. No one knows how much gold can be dug up in Lonely Mountain, but at least as of now, it looks endless.

"The situation here is not so good."

The years hardly left many traces on Jaques. As the owner of the blood of the elder, he has many ways to avoid the trouble of time: "This world is very strange. I have hoped to use time and space countless times. The power of humans travels to the past to reveal the truth of what happened, but I can see nothing. Any world has a past, present and future, but I have not found anything."

Mutant towns are incompatible with the nearby human farm towns. Flat-panel houses built of wooden boards and rivets are distributed on both sides of the road, and curtains supported by wooden poles in front of the houses cast large and small shadows on the streets.

"What do you mean?"

"This means I didn't see death." Jaques frowned. "Usually, the phantoms of the past represent death. A warlock who is proficient in necromantic magic can easily use his soul to recreate what happened in the past. Recently, Gushan encountered a dangerous visitor. Thorin hoped that I could help him figure out the origin and purpose of the other party. So I tried to go back to everything that happened, but... there was nothing, I even showed up Certain auditory hallucinations, which is very strange."

"What does this mean?"

"I can't find a dead soul." Jaques frowned: "Prophecy and retrospect, in our world, Your Excellency, are all related to death. There is no concept of time in the kingdom of the dead, and things in the past and the future may change. Simultaneously. This means that in this world, the souls of the dead are...not here, there seems to be no kingdom of the dead here."

Zelin thought of the scene he saw in the world of the dead when he was fighting against Wigwarts. He shook his head: "Don't delve into the situation in another world, Jaques. Every world has secrets, and some secrets don't want to be discovered by outsiders. If it is not necessary, it is best not to do this."

"I understand, sir." Jaques touched his chin: "This world is really weird, sir, I have lived here for these years, I have understood the dangers here, but compared with our world, most of the enemies are very Simple, they don’t know magic, and they don’t have supernatural powers. Those orcs. I have seen orcs. I thought they were a group of strong monsters. As a result, the power of an orc is not as good as an ordinary human. But everyone is afraid of evil. , As if the devil in their mouth could destroy them instantly."

"Because the evil here does not come from power, but from the heart." Zelin nodded Jaques's chest: "Think about it, if it is not conquered by power, but let everyone in this land think In our eyes, it is evil and normal behavior. At that time, even without a soldier, the demon can get the whole world. This is the most terrifying enemy and the most difficult enemy to deal with. Atrocities will be It is opposed by many people, but this subtle influence may cause many people you originally wanted to protect to support your enemies instead."

"I don't feel this kind of influence, it's strange, can people's minds change just by relying on some empty checks?"

Jaques thought for a while and shook his head: "I really can't understand how they feel."

"No, believe me, it's very powerful, this kind of influence."

Zelin once wore a lord of the ring, and he thought that this kind of influence would not have any effect on the demon hunter. He can control his thoughts well, including emotional and physical feelings. The trial of the grass allows him to control himself well, including the secretion of adrenaline in battle with the help of mutants. But even so, after wearing it for a few months, he was still affected.

"Well, I will pay attention."

Zelin doesn't know if Jaques is serious, but if some things are not personal experience, it is difficult not to take others' words as alarmism.
