The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Yeah, how should I put it, I didn't expect to see it here." Zelin thought that this kind of crystal should only appear in his castle. This was when the demon of the shadow world invaded through the portal during the fight against Corifias in Saidarth. When the sorcerers were fighting against the demon in Mahakam, some of the red devil crystals exploded after the death of the demon. The demon hunter always thought , At that time Francesca had already recovered all the Red Devil Crystals scattered around Mahakam.

"Something troublesome?"

"I can't talk about it." Zelin shrugged. "I will investigate what is going on. By the way, how about the professor?"

"He is dead."

"Well, there is no letter paper or something on him?"

"No, I searched. I know you are looking for the missing formula, but the formula is not on the professor." Regis spread his hands. "I read his memories before his death, but his master must be a magician who is proficient in magic. In his memory, all the memories of the master, I can only see a vague figure. I'm sorry, I couldn't find any. Clues to value."

"No, you have done me a great favor. How's the situation with Vijimane?"

"The Knights have taken control of the situation. Without the command of the Queen, it is estimated that it will not be long before all the bugs on the ground will be cleaned up. I think this time, the officials of Vizima City Hall should realize that they have not copied What a mistake it was to lay slabs on the ground and manage the sewers well, like the wizard city back then."

"Hope they will learn their lesson..."

"Your Majesty, it's too dangerous here! Please go to the castle fortress first. Your most loyal guards will protect you. The robbers have just wreaked havoc here. You can't come to such a dangerous place! If something happens to you, Tymo No one in Leah can stabilize the situation anymore."

Suddenly, a voice caught Zelin's attention. He and Regis raised their heads at the same time and looked in the direction of the sound. A heavily armed guard team, about seven heavily armed soldiers, huddled a tall and thin man into the destroyed old city of Vizima, and a slightly fat man ran near the guards, non-stop Wiping sweat drops from his forehead.

"Verelad, if your house is stolen by a thief, can't you still inspect the damage?" The thin man wore a strong knight's plate armor, with two knights and four spearmen guarding them beside them. The front is decorated with the white lily emblem of Tamoria.

"Your Majesty, my clerks will sort out a loss report as soon as possible, and I will submit it for you tomorrow. The castle is safe, you should go back to the castle first. All of us are looking forward to your return to Vizima. As long as people see you on the throne this morning, they will feel at ease."

"Not necessarily, Vereirad, I believe that if the secret agents of the barons in Vijimane can get news of my death, they will be happy to tear Temoria into pieces. And I'm standing there. Here, why waste time to read the report?" Foltest stepped on the charred wood chips that fell on the ground and looked at the messy old city. "Tell me, why did the old Vizima look like this after I left?"

"It's the robbers of the Squirrel Party. They came in and robbed the elves who lived here." Vereirad replied, and the saber around his waist kept tapping his calf as he ran. "And they also attacked Vizima's banks and warehouses, taking a large amount of money and hoarding food."

"Why do the elves live here?" Foltest asked suddenly. "I remember in the city of Vizima, a non-human settlement was demarcated for them. Why would there be elves living in the old city?"

"This was arranged by Princess Yada, Your Majesty. And..." Vereirad showed a confused look. "Your Majesty, these orders come from your edict."

"My edict?!" Foltest suddenly increased the volume. "When did I give this order?!"

But the answer to Foltest's words was a scream.

A figure suddenly emerged from a nearby collapsed and charred house, brandishing a long sword in his hand, and the guard with his back to the ruins caught off guard, and a sword pierced his chest. The other guards drew out their swords one after another, trying to surround the attacker, but soon they realized that it was not the attacker who was surrounded, but them.

Once again, chaos appeared in this city that had just been ravaged by battle, one figure after another, not knowing where it came from, the unknown roar, the shimmering blade, in a moment, four weird figures Appeared on the street.

The two knights raised their shields to protect Foltest. The surviving soldiers gathered back to back and raised their spears, trying to intimidate the surrounding attackers, but it was them who were really frightened.

No one can call the attacker in front of him a human being.

They still have the appearance of a human, but they have no skin, like a human being stripped of their skin, but the bones covered in flesh and blood become their real skin, and the tight red muscles are squeezed out of the gaps in the exoskeleton. So that the attackers looked like beasts full of pustules.

"Protect the king!"

Chapter 1621: The Coup of the Knights

"Your king is surrounded."

Regis said. "Do you know these attackers?"

"I don't think this is a human being, or... some kind of known creature." Zelin searched in his mind for all the knowledge about monsters, but in the end he couldn't find any corresponding. He drew his sword. "Thank you for your help, Regis, but leave the rest to me."

Regis grabbed Zelin by the shoulder. "Don't you worry about getting involved in politics?"

"No one will accuse a passing demon hunter of the idea of ​​dealing with monsters that attack humans." Zelin looked at the king's guard who was resisting the attacker in the distance. "But who would have thought that these monsters were attacking the king?"

"Well, be careful."

"Right, Regis."

"What else?"

"Please go and tell Francesca, so that she doesn't have to worry, and tell them to be careful."

"I will."

Regis nodded, his figure turned into a puff of black smoke, dissipating in the slightly cold air in the early morning.

Zelin jumped out of the ruins where he was hiding, and the attacker who launched the attack in the dark also tasted the taste of being attacked. When the guards saw reinforcements appear, they immediately yelled. Maybe this trick is useful to other attackers, making them think that the enemy's reinforcements are coming, causing them to become distracted during the battle, but this time, they made a mistake. The attackers did not show any panic. They waved their swords calmly, looking for targets and opportunities to attack. Nothing could affect them, as if nothing except the mission target had anything to do with them. Even when the demon hunters appeared and solved two of them, the attackers' siege of Foltest still did not slow down, but became more violent.

"Devil hunter!" Vereirad held the sword and stood trembling next to the king. "Help us, hurry!"

"Verelad, are you sure no one knows my itinerary?!"

"I didn't even tell Thaler about this, my sire!" Vereirad looked at the guards who were cut down by the attacker in a panic. These fighters may be elite soldiers in the army, but the attacker's swordsmanship is better. Strong and faster, their detached fighting skills made the guards retreat under the swift offensive. "Devil hunter, come and protect the king!"

Zelin swung a swift and precise sword at the enemy in front of him, the ebony blade and the steel sword interlaced, making a crisp sound, and the strong sword snapped. But in the enemy's protruding eyes, the demon hunter did not see a trace of panic or surprise, as if there was no emotion at all, the only thing left was the judgment of the battle and the determination to complete the task. When the blade broke, the monster's hand became a fist, and it slammed a fierce blow at Zelin's forehead. The demon hunter leaned back abruptly, avoiding the punch. The enemy's speed was so fast that Zelin had the illusion that he was fighting another demon hunter.

The fist carrying the sound of the wind fiercely hit the wooden planks of the ruins of the thatched house behind Zelin. The scorched wooden planks broke instantly, and the splattered sawdust hit Zelin's cheeks. The enemy raised his fist again, but this time, it failed, and Zelin didn't give him a second chance. The ebony blade slammed down at the enemy's unsuspecting abdomen. The flesh-wrapped bones caused Zelin's movements to pause, but they were torn apart. Afterwards, the demon hunter raised his hand and gestured to the rune of Alderfal's seal. The sudden burst of air threw the enemy who was about to fall and hit another attacker, and the two fell to the ground together. , The two guards seized the opportunity and rushed up immediately, piercing them with their spears.

"Protect the king! Protect the king from leaving, hurry!"

"Don't worry, Alkin, we are going to win." Foltest looked at the last attacker surrounded by soldiers. "Catch him alive! My interrogator will dig out the name of the mastermind behind the scenes! Demon hunter, before you explain to me why you are here, I can tell you that you will soon become the most famous demon hunter in the north. The hunter."

"I came here because someone said that there were traces of strange monsters here, but in fact, my client must have made a mistake. The place where the strange monsters really appeared was in the city of Vizima." Zelin Dumped the blood on the blade. The blood fell on the ground, making a sizzling sound and white smoke. There were only four attackers. Two of them were chopped down by Zelin who suddenly appeared. One of them failed to react, and the other was entangled by the knight Elkin, so that Zelin's sneak attack could succeed, and the remaining one died. In the one-on-one battle with the demon hunter, but even so, the last enemy slashed four soldiers in the blink of an eye.

"Yes, in Vizima, this is unbelievable! Just below my throne, there is a group of monsters inhabited!" The king said angrily. He seemed to have just gone through a long journey, and his face couldn't hide. Tired. He is over forty years old, and Demarvin and Hensett are younger than him by the king's standards. "Devil hunters, you have not appeared on this land for almost four months. I will issue a royal commission tomorrow. At that time, let you and your colleagues come to Vizima, clean up the monsters in the city, and give Some suggestions from the City Hall let them know how to deal with monsters that suddenly appeared."

"Please be careful, Your Majesty, but compared to Vizima's monster, I suggest that you better order this creature to be killed." Zelin suggested, "This monster is very strong, it's better not to think about catching it alive..."

Before the words of the demon hunter fell, the surrounded monster suddenly convulsed. In front of everyone, its body began to collapse and dissolve, like a water bag with some cracks and a collapsed sand castle, blinking. With the effort of the eyes, the monster turned into a pool of white-smoked flesh and blood scattered on the ground, and the yellow-green liquid flowed and flowed down the slope. Some guards couldn't hold back, rushing to the side holding the wall and vomiting.

"God!" Vereirad clutched the tip of his nose, and a rotting stench filled the air. "What kind of monster is this!?"

"Devil hunter?"

Zelin shook his head. "I have never seen such a creature."

"Damn it, I just came back from Maribo and Brugg's inspection, and Talle sent a messenger to tell me that something happened to Vizima, this is a monster attacking the city? What weird things will happen in the future! And me His daughter, Yada turned into that monster again. If I knew who made it, I would immediately put him in a sack, tie a stone and throw it into the Vizima Lake!"

At this time, on the streets of the old city, a female soldier with a ponytail ran to the crossroads, looked around, and immediately noticed the demon hunter who was talking with the king and the mayor.

"Master Zelin!"

"Stop!" Knight Elgin raised his shield. "Stop immediately and show your identity!"

Foltest looked at Zelin, who shrugged.

"My friend, Laila. He used to be a soldier in Demavin's army, but after the war, he went to join me with some of her comrades in arms."

"Ah, I know that Dermawin has lost the army's salary, and many veterans have not returned to their camp after Brenner." Foltest waved to Elkin. "Let her come, my dear Elkin, she will not be a threat to us."

Laila trot over, panting, her arm slumped beside her with a broken arrow stuck in it. There are still bruises on her face, as if she had just gone through a battle.
