The Journey of the Demon Hunter

When he saw a hidden forest path, he was even more sure that Kyle Morhan was not far away. Perhaps in the eyes of others, this is just a trail clogged with fallen trees and stones everywhere, but demon hunters can see that this is a trial trail, or it is, in the demon hunter. Murder trails circulated among apprentices. The trees on the road were not blown by the strong wind, but were deliberately placed. This is a place to exercise the running speed and breathing rhythm of the apprentices of the magic hunter.

When fighting, it's important not to breathe into confusion. Rhythmic breathing can ensure the coordination of the body, save energy, and is an important part of training. Zelin could imagine how many young children were training on this trail when the demon hunters of Kyle Morhan were still recruiting apprentices, and how many people broke their necks here.

When he came to the area around the killing trail, Zelin dismounted and walked forward. He didn't tell anyone when he came here. Although they were all demon hunters, after all, they did not belong to the same school. It was not a polite behavior to rush directly to the gate of the castle on horseback.

In the end, after Zelin circumvented a crooked narrow path and a huge castle towering halfway up the mountain, Kyle Mohan appeared in his field of vision.

The castle looks very magnificent from the outside. Kyle Mohan was designed as a castle that can withstand long-term siege. Although its fortifications failed to prevent the massacre of the Demon Hunters a hundred years ago, it can repel a large number of troops in its glory days. . The outer wall of the building is stacked on top of each other, and the multi-layered structure allows defenders to resist the attack of the invaders on the outer wall.

Continue along the road, there is no longer any need for guidance here, the castle is right in front of you. Zelin only hopes that the occupants inside are still there. This winter is too long compared to the past. Maybe they will take them in the castle until March before leaving. If so, Zelin can see the whole wolf. All demon hunters of the school. If not, then he can only face an empty castle with closed doors.

If so, it would be too bad.

Walking on the broken suspension bridge of the moat, Zelin kept thinking about how he should explain this sudden visit and how to persuade these wolf school demon hunters to support his plan. After all, this plan is too large and unrealistic compared to the rumors of accepting one or two commissions to discuss where to go this year and where monsters appeared.

It's really unrealistic, but Zelin didn't want to give up.

The sky is darker, but you can still see the scabble bones under the moat bed, either the corpse of a demon hunter or the fanatics who died in the siege. Dozens of demon hunters and more apprentices died here. The bones were left here, perhaps as a warning, whether it was reserved for the demon hunters or for the invaders who wanted to attack this place. Zelin, who was not the survivor of the year, has no way of knowing, but if there is such a warning Now, will they be willing to listen to their own words? He didn't know, he didn't know.

But it is no longer possible for him to wander outside the door, fearful, especially since he has already come here. The occupants of the castle obviously noticed this uninvited guest.

The man who did not know where he came from appeared in the dark passage behind the suspension bridge. As quiet as ever, his posture Zelin couldn't be more familiar. With arms crossed, the weight of the whole body is placed on the left foot, a posture that can launch an attack at any time. He looked at Zelin, then opened his arms and made a welcome gesture.

"Welcome to Kyle Morhan, Zelin."

Zelin also opened his arms.

"We meet again, Geralt."

Chapter 210 The Wolf School Demon Hunter

It is a fact that the demon hunter will grow old. Although compared with ordinary people, this process is extremely slow, but as long as the time is long enough, even the demon hunter will show signs of aging. Vesemir was considered old enough among the Demon Hunters. The face that was cut by a knife and wrinkle is the best proof. Of course, the spirit of the old hunter is as good as ever when he was young.

"It's nice to meet you, child." No one knows how old Vesemir is, but it's okay to call Zelin a child. Maybe Vesemir was already before Zelin was born. Active as a demon hunter on the mainland. His footsteps are brisk, his steps are steady, and his arm grip is very strong. "If there is anything else that can cheer me up this winter, it is to see you in Kyle Morhan. Without you, I would really not know me." How should this old bone stay in a castle as cold as a coffin."

As the oldest wolf school demon hunter in the world, Vesemir returns to Kermohan to spend the winter every winter. The other members of the wolf school can be said to be a generation of demon hunters who grew up under the care of Vesemir. They will also return to Kyle Morhan as much as possible in winter to reunite with the old hunters and other colleagues.

"It's an honor to meet you." Zelin respected Vesemir very much. The wolf school of demon hunters should have the largest number, and all this is attributed to Vesemir. After the massacre of Kyle Morhan, only Vesemir of the Wolf School was still alive, and it was he who allowed one school to continue.

"Come on, the atrium is not a suitable place for chatting. This ghostly weather is almost freezing. Come with us for dinner. There are enough rooms in the tower. Even if there are a few more people, you can live here. "

The hall of Kyle Mohan is as simple as the room of the demon hunter. There are some wooden stakes, a few tables, long crates and wooden barrels placed in the corners. The only thing that can be decorated is the fur of some prey. Hanging the prey skin on the wall is what any hunter likes to make, such as a stag, a bobcat, a brown bear, a wolf, and a mouse skin that I don't know who made it.

"This is a good place."

"Of course, this is our home." Vesemir nodded. There is only him in the castle, Geralt, and another young man whom Zelin doesn't know. He was very young, probably younger than Lambert, the demon hunter known to Zelin, but he was definitely not Lambert.

"Zelin, from the Griffin School. Ren" Geralt introduced next to him. "This is the first winter Ren spends with us. He is from Povis."

"I've heard of you." Zelin wanted to shake his hand, but the young demon hunter bowed to him. His face looked quite pale, his pupils were yellow-green, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, making his eyeballs look like edema. Zelin could imagine how difficult it was for this demon hunter to mutate.

"Eskel went to catch fish in the river outside. We will have a good dinner tonight. It's a pity that Beriga hasn't returned for a long time." Vesemir sighed. "I heard that Towson had a A master blacksmith, he took the drawings to Tousant. I thought it would not be too long to find the master and build a few pieces of armor and long swords. As a result, who knew that the emperor and the kings went to war. My child, if you will in the future When you go to Towsonte, you must remember to help me pay attention to the news of Beriga."

"When I go to the south, I will definitely visit Tousent."

Turn the corner and go up the steps. Before seeing anyone, Zelin heard the sound of scolding in a corner of the yard sheltered from the wind. Eskell was fishing outside, and Berriga had no news. Geralt, Wren and Vesemir are here, so there is no doubt that there is anyone other than Lambert.

"Your actions are not right! There is no way to mess around. Do it again!" Lambert, a young demon hunter in a dark jacket, was yelling at a little girl who was entangled with a leather sandbag on a wooden stake . Lambert is almost fifty years old. If he is a normal human, he should stay at home and take care of his grandson. The complicated farm work is inevitably a bit heavy for a human being close to sixty, but he is among the demon hunters. It is indeed a young man in his fifties.

The little girl has light-colored hair, and Zelin can see some freckles on her face. To a child, she seems a little too thin. But the children found by the demon hunters are almost all orphans in the war, and malnutrition is normal. But there is one thing that makes Zelin a little surprised, why he is a girl. Of course, it was only a moment. Although Zelin was not someone who would go to the theater to enjoy a play, the bards in the tavern in the village would make him stop for a while.

He quickly understood who this girl was.

Hilly. Silia Fiona Allen Lianlun. It must be her, and it can only be her.

"You lean too far, don’t hack, the real enemy won’t stand there waiting for you to understand what you’ve done wrong! I told you the basic technique of using a sword to aim at the artery! What is the human artery? Place. And chop its neck and head!" Lambert focused all of his attention on the little girl who was jumping back and forth on the stake until someone stood behind him.

"Hey! See who is here. A guy who came to help us eliminate excess food." When I turned around, I didn't forget to warn the little girl "I haven't stopped you yet, continue, don't stop."

"Don't do that, Lambert, this is a guest." Geralt reminded.

"Am I wrong?"

"It's okay, I would be puzzled if Lambert came over and gave me a welcome hug." Zelin shrugged indifferently.

"Okay, let's go in. This is the end of training this afternoon. It's already dark. I guess Eskell has returned with a basket full of fish, Ren." Vesemir said to the young man. The demon hunter shouted, "Go to the warehouse and get an extra chair. We can't let the guests sit on the cold floor." It can be seen that there are more people coming to Kyle Morhan, although the old hunter Don't say anything, but still can see a kind of gratifying joy.

"Come on, boy." Vesemir patted Zelin on the shoulder. "This winter is really bad. If you want, we can clean up the old house for you. You can take it here until the blizzard passes. No matter what. How do you say, Kyle Morhan welcomes you."

Chapter 211 Another Visitor

The fire in the fireplace was raging, dispelling the cold wind that seeped through the shutters and cracks in the door. On the wall were trophies made by someone unknown, a yellowed deerskin was drying in the heat from the fireplace, and at the same time cast a string of long shadows on the wall behind him.

This is a rectangular dark red wooden table. It can be seen that this table is a bit old. But this is Kyle Mohan after all. Anything that is antique to the outside world may be just garbage in the utility room here. In the ninth century, the ancient warlocks and the first demon hunters conducted their monster analysis and genetic mutation research here.

Unsurprisingly, the food was a basket of river fish brought by Eskell, but Zelin really couldn't tell what kind of fish it was, and it was estimated that no one could tell what these toppled fish that were blown up by the bomb were. Apart from these fishes, there is also a wild deer that I don't know where I got it.

The dinner was very hearty, relatively speaking, bread, roast venison, and a bowl full of fish soup. I have to say that compared to Mahakam, the foot of the Blue Mountain is a nice place. Except for the monsters in the two places, there are wild animals that Mahakam doesn’t have, whether it’s a wolf or a deer, Baishihe. Although the school of fish brought is small, there are many. These demon hunters knew that they would stay here for a month, and they were well prepared.

But it is too remote here. Mahakam is located in the center of the north, and here is the edge of the entire civilized world.

The atmosphere of the dinner is good. Vesemir smiled from time to time, and Lambert and Eskell talked, as if there were endless things to say during the months they were apart. Ren was listening to the experience of these two senior demon hunters, and the most active person must be Xili. Her face was flushed with the cold, her hair was messed up like a bird's nest, and she was eating barbecue without caring about the image. Finally, the demon hunter drank cider, and Xili also got the drink she wanted.

"Why is there only salad and no mushrooms today!"

Then she was scolded by Lambert not to rub her oily hands everywhere.

Zelin knew what Xili was drinking. The special herbal juice formulated with cave fungus can promote development and make the body stronger. Before accepting the green grass trial, the trained apprentices will drink such herbs, so that they can also improve their physical fitness in addition to exercise to adapt to the high-intensity training and the terrible green grass trial.

As for why Geralt didn't care about teaching his Son of Destiny, there was a reason, because Zelin was not the only visitor to Kyle Morhan this winter. The flaming red-haired sorcerer, Triss Merigold of Maribo did not know when she also came here.

Zelin didn't quite understand why a warlock came here. Xili didn't look like a girl with magical talents, much less like a magic source sorcerer worthy of the sorcerer cult to send sorcerers to Kyle Morhan. Unless this son of Geralt's destiny, the girl who is being trained as a magic hunter is really a magician or a child with a high magical talent. Of course, other reasons are not ruled out, but this is not something Zelin needs to inquire about. People who ask for secrets everywhere are not welcome people.

The ghost knew if Geralt had anything to do with this female warlock, they looked normal, and normal ones were almost abnormal. But this has nothing to do with Zelin. What Zelin really needs is hidden deep in the cellar of Kyle Morhan, the dusty agar jars, decanters and retorts, and virus culture dishes in the laboratory. And what Xili is drinking-juicing from cave fungus.

And their support.

This is the most important thing.

According to Vesemir, this is the first time Renn has come to spend the winter with them, which means that it will not take more than three years for Renne to successfully pass the Trial of Grass. They must have the latest grass trial experience and know how to do the right thing. Zelin needs this experience. The Griffin School has not seen a new Demon Hunter for nearly a hundred years, and the Wolf School is still accepting new members.

People are thriving.

Although different schools of thought must be different in the use of mutants. As far as Griffin is concerned, mutants must make it easier for apprentices to accept chaotic energy and allow them to accept magic and seals. Mutants of deer head spirits are a good choice.

As for the cat school, they tend to swordsmanship and make their sword dance as sensitive as cats. Zelin speculates that they may use the mutants of Kata Kahn. Of course, what is it for him, as a member of the Griffin school, It can only be speculated.

As for the wolf school, to be honest, Zelin really didn't understand what they were leaning towards, and naturally couldn't infer what kind of mutants they would use.
