The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Francesca read the last tone aloud, clenched her raised hands into fists, and waved vigorously. The mist surrounding Alice suddenly burst and fell in all directions. In the end, only the black smoke slowly rising from the corpse was left. In the black smoke, a translucent black-clothed woman floated on the corpse, her eyes looking around in surprise.

Francesca sighed lightly: "Welcome back to the world again, Alice Evric."

Alice looked sadly at Francesca and lowered her eyes: "You are not him..."

"Your husband is not here, Mrs. Evric." Zelin walked slowly behind Francesca: "But there are some things related to your husband, I'm afraid only you know."

Alice lowered her head, looked at her body, and said to herself: "I thought he was back...I just thought I had a nightmare. Ogild, how is he? ?"

"He looks good, staying with his friends and subordinates. The last time I met, he was enjoying beer and roasting whole lamb in a village."

Francesca touched Zelin with her elbow: "She is divorced."

But Alice did not appear to be angry or angry.

A smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "That's good..."

Chapter 2587: Identity Conjecture

From Alice's mouth, Zelin learned what was going on with the Evric family.

Alice Effric, the wife of Ogild Effric, is also a very talented painter.

Alice was originally a beautiful wealthy daughter, Ogild was deeply infatuated with her, and the two fell in love with each other. Just when her parents approved the marriage of both parties, and the two seemed to be about to have a happy ending, the Evric family encountered a series of tragedies. Wrong decisions and barren harvests over the years have left Effric's family down, and Ogild is impoverished and plunged into a debt crisis. Alice's parents could not accept his family failure, and were unwilling to marry their daughter to an unknown person. As a result, Alice's parents changed their minds and betrothed Alice to Prince Overfer, who came to Orsenfurt to study.

"Gante Odim. I would rather never hear this name in my life." Alice said bitterly, "He gave us everything and destroyed everything else."

"Who is he?" Zelin asked, "Why is he playing for?"

"It's my fault..." Alice lowered her head in agony, "Ogild summoned the man of glass for me, and also for my wish to make a fortune. Both of them can live forever. Immortal..."

After making a wish to the Master of Mirror, Ogild soon regained his wealth and power, as well as his most important fiancée. But Alice found that Ogild gradually lost interest in everything, becoming cold and numb, inhumane. Slowly, the atmosphere in the Evric Manor became more and more gloomy, and the feelings of the manor and wife gradually faded. After Alice filed for a divorce, the angry Ogild murdered his father-in-law by mistake. The pain of losing a loved one made Alice vowed that he would never see Ogild again. In order to satisfy his wife's request, Ogild left the manor, leaving the gatekeeper and a pair of cats and dogs to accompany Alice.

"Make a wish?" Francesca raised her eyebrows slightly: "Di Jing? Devil?"

"I don't know." Alice shook her head. "Is he back to pester Ogild again? Can Ogild defeat it?"

"Wish to live forever, it seems that Gunter Odim succeeded in some sense." Francesca walked around Alice, observing the ghost: "When I called you, I thought it would cost It takes a lot of effort to pull you back from the world of the dead. The **** of death is usually not so generous to those who take the soul, but you are not in the kingdom of the dead, and your soul remains in your corpse. As long as the soul does not leave. The body, even if it is immortal in another way."

"This is not what I and Ogild want." Alice closed her eyes: "Ogild...why is this..."

"Enid, only you are the most knowledgeable here. Do you know what's going on?" Zelin asked the elf, "Or, has there been a similar thing in history?"

"I don’t want to repeat the story of Dijing’s wish, but it’s more like...Do you know the story of the Omen God? The Omen God will respond to believers’ expectations, but as a price, his followers will Get a doom that is comparable to desire, or curse at the cost of life. Of course, I’m not saying that Gunter Odim has anything to do with the Omen God. The sacrifice of the Omen God is very low-key. They are only killing people. The identity will be revealed when the sacrifice is made, but this is really too similar to other evil **** legends."

Francesca took a deep breath: "Perhaps this is a member of the Cthulhu Church that we don't know?"

"He can cast spells." Zelin reminded.

"Not all supernatural powers are spells, Zellin, otherwise I think the druids and priests will have an opinion on your point of view." The elf gestured: "But this is really interesting, I think, the Order I should be interested in this matter. I only hope that this is not Novigrad's version of the Loliedo incident."

In 1161, a businessman named Ambrosio and eight other believers preached the **** of bad omens in Roledo, Gusso. Soon, more people joined the sect, and the main members were local nobles who liked mystery and exoticism. When the words of Zhuoran believers reached the ears of royal officials and a priest who believed in Cliffe religion, an investigation was immediately launched, during which many believers were tortured. Facts have proved that almost the entire town council, as well as most of the leaders of the association, believe in this evil lion head god. Ambrosio and all the arrested congregants were burned to death on the stake.

Zelin sighed: "I know the Rolledo incident you are talking about, but until now, I still don't know who Gunter Odim is."

"But one thing is certain." Francesca squinted her eyes: "Anyone who can do this kind of thing will never care about interfering with a Thorn King plan. I suspect that he is only interested in other things. Do you say you have met him several times? Maybe he wants to contact you, just to attract your curiosity and attention."

"I really don't know what I have worth noting." Zelin scratched his face. "What value do I have for the attention of someone who can help people realize their wishes? Wait, Enid, you know about the King of Assassins. ?"

"Of course I know." Francesca shrugged. "His enemies in the south want him to die, and his subjects in the north want him to die too. This is not surprising. In fact, it was in Dijkstra There have been two assassinations and coups against Radovide before, but they have all failed."

"Well, if it's just that, it's okay that he is not from Ladovide." Zelin exhaled slowly: "By the way, Enid, Dikoscher told me before that members of the Tritog royal family wanted to take refuge. It's Princess Dalimila, maybe you can take her to Baihua Valley?"

"This is not appropriate." Francesca vetoed without hesitation: "Hundred Flowers Valley must be strictly neutral in the north and cannot be involved in the political struggle in the north. If she wants to take refuge, she will hide in your castle. Well, anyway, it is now the residence of the Kerviel merchant, and Kerviel itself is the home of the Queen Mother of Rydania. This will not make people doubt."

"...Okay."

"Is there anything else I need to help?"

"Nothing." Although I don't know the identity of Gunter Odim, it is enough to know that he is not under Ladovide. Zelin has often dealt with strange guys. He is not the first, and may not be the last: "How about Shiluo at Hundred Flowers Valley?"

"She has eaten a lot of evil spirits and water ghosts. After she destroys the monsters in an area, my colonial team can go to build a new village, but it would be better if she didn't leave so many cobwebs." Ska chuckled: "You really have found a good solution to the monsters in the Valley of Flowers, Zelin. Then, I will go to Tritog first to pick up the homeless princess. Alice, Do you still want to be reunited with your husband?"

Alice, who has been silent for a long time, raised her eyes, "...what?"

"I can use magic to save your body, and your soul can stay in the vessel I prepared for you to avoid the suffering caused by the living world." Francesca took out a wooden box: "You and your husband The matter is worth studying. I hope you can cooperate with my investigation and research work. What's your answer?"

Chapter 2588 Chessboard Club

In the end, Alice decided to follow Francesca's advice. She was afraid of death, especially after she had the opportunity to return to the world of the living after death, she was even more afraid of falling into the boundless darkness.

Francesca will arrange for the Order of Warlocks to investigate the black magic incident here. This is the first case of black magic since the Order of Warlocks was established. The Warlocks of the Elves believe that the Order will definitely not miss this opportunity to re-establish promise. Order brought about by the Vigre Treaty. The coup led to the decline of the authority of the order, and Tishaya and other leaders of the order are trying to rebuild their prestige.

At the north gate of Osenfurt, outside the gate of Novigrad, Zelin saw Dikoscher wearing a hood. The spy chief opened his arms and faced Zelin: "You never know, what a demon hunter will Where to go and do things. Do you know how many spies followed you in the past two days? I bet you almost got the treatment of a real power earl. But this must be a bunch of rice buckets under Ladovede. If you let me come , I will keep an eye on you, because anyone with a discerning eye can see that only you have the power to threaten Ladovide’s safety and turn the more than 20 guards around him into decorations."

Zelin opened his hands: "Can I think you are flattering me?"

"Of course, you deserve it." Dixie turned around. There were three people around him, all wearing hoods: "Come with me, it's not a good place to talk outside."

Following Dixie, Zelin walked to the bridge outside the north gate. The north gate of Osenfurt is called the Novigrad Gate. As the name suggests, this gate leads to the city of Novigrad. In the past, during exam month, the college would usually close the Novigrad gate to prevent students from being unable to withstand the temptation of the bustling city. But now, the door is still open, but the college is closed.

Dixie walked to the door of a hut by the bridge, raised his hand and knocked on the door three times.

"Where is this place?"

"Our contact point." The wooden door opened half of the gap, and there was only shadow inside: "It's too obvious outside. You successfully helped us draw out some of Ladovide's spies. Now, after blindfolding his eyes, we can Go to a place closer to him and discuss countermeasures on the spot. Of course, we have already thought about this countermeasure, and now we only need to formulate an implementation plan."

Zellin followed Dijkstra and walked into the room. It was a narrow room. There were several chess tables in the hall. Roche and Eofis were standing by a secret road leading down. The secret road was Open, revealing the stairs below.

"This used to be Osenfurt's chessboard club, can you imagine? Ladovide used to be a member of this club. Later he closed the club, I guess it was because his chess skills were so bad." Dijkstra walked over, Roche and Iopheus turned around together, went down the stairs and entered the secret room. The guards who came with them entered the attic, or hid behind a nearby window, and covered the figure with curtains to monitor every movement outside.

The secret room below was bigger than Zelin expected, and it was more like a basement disguised as a secret room. Oil lamps are hung on the surrounding walls to provide light. The floor is covered with black and white floor tiles like a checkerboard.

"First of all, I am very grateful for your prompt..."

"First of all, you can take off your hood first, Dikoscher." Zelin rubbed the corners of his eyes. He hadn't closed his eyes for two days and nights: "I don't know why. You always like to wear out-of-the-box clothes now."

"Because we should have a better life, but here we are doing things that low-level killers and spies will discuss." Dikoscher waved his hand in mid-air: "Let us put an end to this **** thing as soon as possible. Oh, by the way, what did I just say? Do you know? Ladovide sent an army back to Tritog the night before and arrested many people on charges of treason. Now everyone is in danger."

"What's the matter?" Zelin frowned. "Is Radovide finally going crazy?"

"No, he has a list. Villemore betrayed the other people, and even Heimfa was involved. Now Villemore is replacing Heimfa, temporarily exercising the right of the leader." Dijkstra walked to the square table. Before, there was a map of Osenfurt City on the table: "We are dangerous enough to stay here. When all this starts, only Roche will stay with you, the Demon Hunter. Iofis will return. Fujian, and Taller and I have to go to Novigrad for a while. We are brains, and unlike you guys who wield swords, everyone should stay where they deserve."

Zelin suddenly thought that in the basement of Tritog's tavern, in addition to Villemore, there was another person meeting with them: "Wait, in that case, then we will discuss the plan with us... ....."

"I received the news this morning that Ladovide had begun arresting opponents. By the way, there was also a news that the royal family had left Tritog safely. An elf wizard took her away. You really belonged to you, Zelin. , Do you already know in advance what Ladovide is going to do?” Dijkstra looked straight into Zelin’s eyes: “Is this the information Dole Bretanna gave you? I must say, Fantabay. Your Majesty’s actions were very timely. If one day later, we might have witnessed the second incident of royal family members being hung on the gallows since the **** Buddha."

"I said it was a coincidence, do you believe it?" Zelin sighed: "After you told me this before, I contacted Enid and asked her to help pick up the person. It happened to be last night."
