The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Master, it is the Knights of the Flame Rose, the Knights, they are beginning to march!"

"Don't be nervous, speak slowly, this is Your Majesty Foltest. Take a deep breath, Laila, and tell us what happened to the Knights of the Flame Rose?"

"Yes, Master." Laila took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. The pain in her shoulder made her grin. "It's the commander of the Knights, Jaques, he is leading an army to march towards Vizima! He said he wants to restore order and completely solve the monsters in the kingdom. People continue to join them on the road. Their goal is The Royal Castle, and it's almost reaching the Maribo Gate in the south of the city!"

The first thousand six hundred and twenty-two chapters of neutral praise

"Look, my dear Verelade, there are already people who can't wait to do something."

Foltest pinched his waist and looked in Vizima's direction. "Jaques, I once trusted him and thought he was a pious, loyal and kind knight. A year ago, he knelt in front of me, kissed my ring, and swears to me to obey my position and orders. No one else. I can see a person’s inner thoughts on the surface. I don’t know how many times I have to agree with such words, Verelad, how many troops do we have? I must first let these rebels know who is here. Ruler!"

"Your Majesty, we're afraid... I'm afraid we need to summon Marshal John Natalis' forces." Vereillard said hesitantly. "Your Majesty, our soldiers in Vizima suffered heavy losses. Those bugs attacked us yesterday. I haven't been able to find the commander of the city garrison, and..."

"And what?"

"The commander of Vizima's troops is Earl Wit. People say that he and Jaques have a very good relationship. Moreover, our guards were defeated by the strange demon. The order in the city is also the Knights of the Flame Rose. The soldiers, they won’t fight against their large regiment commander."

"Witt? I haven't heard of this name."

"He is a Nilfgaard, and he is very much loved by Her Royal Highness."

"Yada should really learn how to tell who can trust and who cannot."

Foltest sighed heavily, and Verelade on the side looked at the king cautiously. "Your Majesty, please go to the north of the city first. Marshal Natali's troops are near Baron La Varetti. I will go to the city and tell Thale that he will send a messenger to other places as soon as possible. Let the barons lead the soldiers to Vizima. No matter what kind of army Jaques has, he will not be Tamoria’s opponent."

"Verelad, listen to my orders. I order you to go to the city immediately and gather all the soldiers who are still loyal to me, loyal to the Maribo dynasty, and willing to fight under the banner of the white lily of Tamoria, and send them to the royal castle. Assemble nearby, I will go to the castle. No, don’t rush to make suggestions, my most loyal mayor, now is not the time to escape, I must go to the royal castle, as long as I sit on the throne, people won’t Lost confidence. If I escape here, who will obey my orders?"

While Foltest was discussing with Vereirad, Laila made a look at Zelin and motioned him and herself to the other side to talk.

"What's the matter?"

"Jaques organized an army of mutants."

"What?!" Zelin showed an unbelievable expression.

He hoped that Laila could join the Knights. He really wanted to get news about the Knights of the Flame Rose, at least not like the Knights of the White Rose. When the enemy launched an attack, he knew that they had targeted the Demon Hunters. Attack plan. But the news still exceeded Zelin's expectations.

"You said, is it an army of mutants?"

"Yes, Jaques is now in the old Vizima mansion south of the swamp, where he gathered the army and took out a lot of potions in bottles. He told everyone that using this potion can strengthen them. The body makes them invincible warriors.” Laila also felt unbelievable. She was originally a human being. After drinking the potion, she immediately became a mutant, perhaps for the demon hunter who understands the trial of the grass. , This is nothing, but to ordinary people, it is tantamount to the curse of the devil. "Some people accepted, they drank the potion, and then they became mutants in front of all of us! Oh, I'm not talking about you, master, but I can't find any words to describe those freaks. I'm worried The king knows this and may anger all the demon hunters."

"Wait, they have potions for making mutants, which means..."

Jaques stole the mutant formula of the Demon Hunter? !

Facing Zelin's question, Laila shook her head. "I don't know, Master, he does have a potion that can turn humans into mutants."

Zelin lowered his eyes. If so, it made sense. Regis was unable to find any valuable clues in the professor. A master of magic erased the traces, and the Salamander Gang received the help of many wandering warlocks and renegade warlocks in the battle. This is obviously not an underground gang. Hired, but if it is Jaques, in his capacity, he can recruit apostate warlocks to work for him.

"All of them have received the transformation?"

"No, not all. Some knights refused. They are now under house arrest in the old mansion. I tried a way to escape, but they found that I had escaped. They would definitely be prepared."

"I see. Thank you. By the way, Laila, you take these coins. You can go to the Queen of the Night in the Vizima Trade Zone and find a man named Regis. He is a doctor. Go to him. Find some herbs and treat your wound. Don't leave there until it's over."

"Master, I did this to repay Master George for his life-saving grace, not for reward." Laila shook her head. "Are you going to the old mansion? I can take you there! The other colleagues are detained in the side yard of the mansion. They don't want to become mutants. If you can rescue them, they will support your fight."

"I know that place, don't worry, Laila, I will deal with them."

An army of mutants, Zelin thought it was just a delusion of Jaques, but now it seems that the biggest difference between Jaques and those crazy visionaries is that he will do it immediately and find Ways to achieve goals.

"Devil hunter?"

Foltest looked at Zelin. "Are you willing to accept commission from the king?"

"I will consider."

"I know you are fighting the Salamander Gang, because they stole your mutant formula from the Demon Hunter. Surprised? No, don't be surprised. Your Demon Hunters are looking for the Salamander Gang and the mutant formula all over the north. The king knows this, but I support you because I also hate thieves. I previously allowed a demon hunter to lift the curse on Atha, now I grant you the privilege to allow you to be wiped out in Temaria Salamander Gang, and you can get help from other subjects who are loyal to Tamoria White Lily according to this order, and I hope you can eliminate the monsters and gangsters entrenched in the city, if they get the support of the Flame Rose Knights, You can attack the Knights directly, no one will stop you."

"It’s not necessary, Your Majesty, I have some things that I have to go to Jaques to solve. I know he is in the old mansion. I will go to him directly. I just hope, Your Majesty, you can give me a privilege and allow me. When fighting against Jaques, borrow your orders."

"Oh?"

"Because I got a message that Jaques might have something to do with the stolen formula."

"Why would Jaques steal the formula?"

"Perhaps when you go back, a drop of poison that has no antidote will save him a lot of trouble."

"No problem, I agree. You can get help from Tamoria in dealing with Jaques. I will tell others that you are going to deal with the Salamander Gang, but unfortunately, Jaques was fighting with the Salamanders at the time. Helped to make contact and conspired to control the city of Vizima, so in the melee, Jaques disappeared, life and death unknown."

Zelin certainly knew Foltest's thoughts, but it was enough for him. People would not think that the demon hunters destroyed the Knights of the Flame Rose, and the demon hunters would not take the initiative to attack a knight order, or a military force, because of their conflict with the salamander gang, and Jaques , But unfortunately got involved, and eventually became a victim of gang fighting.

And how could Foltest not understand Zelin's meaning. He knew that the demon hunters were unwilling to participate in any possible political conflicts, because the Knights of the Flame Rose were likely to receive secret assistance from other forces. But if he wants to get Zelin's help to deal with Jaques, in exchange, he will issue an order to deal with Jaques in the name of destroying the gang.

Take what you need.

"When you solve the enemy, go to the Wang’s Castle to see me. By the way, the Demon Hunter, remember, I’m in front of the Maribo battlefield. I will give you a ring to tell you that if I get injured in the war, I hope You can protect my blood."

"I still remember, Your Majesty." Zelin took out the gold ring he put in his jacket pocket, which was branded with the personal mark of the Maribo family.

"Just remember, go, Demon Hunter, I will wait for your good news in the Wang Family Castle."

Zelin hesitated, but he still decided to speak up his own problem. "Your Majesty, as far as I know, you are the first person to make such a request."

"Of course, Demon Hunter, everyone will have their own questions, I can tell you the answer, because this is not a difficult thing to say." Foltest glanced at him and followed his orders, heading to the old Vizima The gate, guards preparing to return to the carriage. "This is a terrible age. In the past, we all thought that the kingdom will last forever, and the royal family will sit on the throne like the past thousand years, and continue to rule the land prescribed by the ancient kings, even if it fails. We will only lose the throne, but our blood is still there. We are still the only rulers. If the conquerors want to get the land, they must marry to get the legal inheritance rights."

"But times have changed. The Hinterlands, a kingdom that has lasted for hundreds of years, has been destroyed. The royal family has been slaughtered. The Nilfgaards sent a governor to rule that land. It is no longer a royal family of noble blood, but a possibility of ten. A few years ago, they were just civilians, no civilians who entered the imperial bureaucracy at all."

"Well, I think I understand."

"Yes, the Demon Hunter, there is no eternal kingship, but there are eternal bystanders. You have never joined the battle, so how can you win or lose. So please stay neutral, Demon Hunter, I hope you do."

Chapter 1623: Rebellious Hunter

The old Vizima Mansion, which was once Vizima's town hall, where everything in the city will be settled.

This building was not built in the old Vizima city as it was literally, but on the opposite side of the old Vizima, on the other side of the lake. This is because the regent of Temoria was pure white Lafayette. His magic tower was located in the swamp. Therefore, in order to facilitate the conduct of magic experiments while dealing with government affairs, the Vizima City Hall was built near the magic tower. Place, but since Foltest abandoned the old city and established a new city, it has also been abandoned.

Accompanied by the sound of the boat chucking the water surface, the tip of the ferry boat pushed away the green algae on the water and lightly hit the trestle bridge in front of the old mansion.

"Thank you, Mayor Verelade." Zelin stood up and looked at the mayor who was panting behind him. "You can go back, thank you for your hard work."

"After you finish your work here, don't forget to go back and return the floor plan to me." Vereirad bent over, resting on his knees with both hands, breathing heavily. "It stands to reason that you can't get any floor plan. If this thing falls into the hands of the enemy, they will know everything about Vizima."

"Relax, Mayor, you can trust me like Foltest."

"It's your Majesty Foltest, you better respect him."
