The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Please be sure to continue to call me Aneth, Master. However, your news is out of date." Aneth couldn't suppress a joyful smile, clutching the skirt with both hands: "We have taken Vizima."

"Oh?"

"Enhill fled, with his tail clamped, like a mouse with a broken spine." Roche clenched his left hand into a fist and thumped his right hand: "Unfortunately, I really want to be on the battlefield with a **** in black. People fought with real swords and guns, and watched how they were defeated by us! Hope there will be a chance in the future, they are retreating, we will continue to chase, chase Goos Willen, chase Maribo, chase Go to Sutton Hill and chase Brugge!"

"But we need a sound plan, Roche." Aneth said: "I think Marshal Nataliis will formulate an appropriate action book. Don't fall into the trap of the man in black in the pursuit, otherwise the kingdom Morale will be hard-to-fight, and when we gather the defeated army for rest and reorganization, we may lose some territory."

"Of course, Your Majesty, your worries are not unreasonable."

Zelin opened the wooden box and saw a scroll tied with a red ribbon.

"What's this?" He raised his eyes suspiciously.

"This is the title deed to the floating port, master." Aneth smiled, showing her white teeth, and stretched out her hands: "You already have a castle, but how can you not have a suitable village and people? I decided to float. The port is handed over to you. In the future, you can designate a resident as the mayor of the floating port, and the land tax they pay will enter your pocket. Oh, of course, I still have to take the trade tax, but the trading station can’t give it You. However, I think you have so much money, you should not compete with me for the ownership of a trading post, haha."

She blinked playfully.

"I listened to you... a female friend mentioned that you were once a nobleman of Tamoria, after a baron. If it weren't for those nobles who didn't allow it, or that I didn't want to cause you trouble, how I would think Seal all the barons who are disobedient to you so that you will become the most powerful nobleman in Tamoria and move to Vizima. Vizima’s court is full of white-eyed wolves and wall grass, or think A jester who can be rewarded by telling a few jokes, how I wish there could be someone like you to assist me...just like you assisted Queen Fin Dabe of Dol Bretner."

Zelin sighed slowly and waved to her.

"Come here, Aneth. Although I can't go to Vizima now, I can teach you a trick."

"Huh?"

Aneth watched Zelin walk towards the corner of the courtyard, then followed up with her skirt. Another royal guard wanted to keep up subconsciously, but was stopped by Aneth.

"It's good for you to stay here. I'm by the master demon hunter. It may be the safest time in my life."

Standing in the corner, with his back facing the exit of the castle, Zelin watched Aneth walk up to him.

"You take this title deed first."

"Why, Master?" Aneth frowned. "Are you not satisfied?"

"No, I accept your intentions, but listen well, the floating port-or the Pontal Delta, is the most important trading node in the North. According to my understanding, during your father's reign, he had more than Once competed for influence here with Demavin, Hensett, and Wizmir II. As a result, Pontal’s castle Haji Fortress is now in the hands of Fjian, which is under the control of Saqiya. The port is in the territory of Temoria. Therefore, when merchant ships pass through the Pontal Valley, they need to pay the tax once at the trading post of the Haji Fortress, and then pay the tax again at the floating port. Think about it, wait until the north After the coalition forces regain the lost ground and the trade route of the Yaluga River is restored, what kind of impact will the Pontal Valley encounter?"

Aneth's eyes rolled around: "...You mean, the main trade route in the north will become the Yarlung River again?"

"Yes, and the Yarlung River will become the dividing line between the North and the Nilfgaard Empire. The trade there is more prosperous than the Ponta River. It is only in recent years that it has declined due to war issues." Zelin stretched out two fingers: "I'll give you a suggestion. You can talk to Sakia. A cooperative Pontal Valley will definitely bring more than a split and confrontational Pontar Valley. Commercial activities and taxes."

"...I see." Aneth nodded thoughtfully.

"Not only that." Zelin pushed the box containing the title deed into Aneth's hands: "When you find it hard to find noble allies at home, why not look abroad? I think on the basis of commercial cooperation, Sa Kiya is definitely happy to form an alliance with you, as long as you can abolish those laws and regulations that discriminate against non-human beings in Tamoria. In this way, if the nobles in your country want to oppose you, they must consider how many foreign countries they have to face. I'm under pressure. Take this title back, and it can exert more power in your hands."

"But... how should I contact Sakia?"

"Leave it to me, I can help you." Zelin patted his chest: "If I have news, I will tell you that I have some friendship with Saqiya."

"I hope you can go to my court more and more, Master." Aneth smiled bitterly and scratched the blond hair hanging on her shoulders: "But I know that this is impossible. If in the future, I will meet If you have any questions, can I still come to you?"

"Of course." Zelin nodded: "Although I don't welcome the king very much, I welcome Aneth at any time."

Aneth stayed in the castle for a morning and drank a few cups of tea with the friends she met in the castle. By the way, Dahlia asked Aneth to help her bring her a letter back to Redania, and the entrustment remained Princess Yada of Ridania, help take care of her sister, hoping not to die. Although she didn't have much hope for Milena's situation, she didn't want to lose another relative. Francesca gave Aneth a letter with a seal. If you take this letter to do business with Baihua Valley, Toluwell will give her some courtesy.

Before leaving, Aneth told Zelin a piece of news.

After a demon hunter named Geralt arrived at Vizima, he seemed to want to tell Emperor Enhill a message. It's a pity that Enhill had already left, and he was caught by the Vizima guards as a spy. Fortunately, within an hour, he was released by Roche.

The message is simple.

Hilly left and did not return.

Chapter 2895: Mysterious Guest

The morning sun fell on the branches of the laurel tree, and several sparrows fell in rows on the castle wall, chirping.

"...Is it really impossible, Mrs. Enid?"

Francesca put down the quill in her hand, pushed aside the wooden chair and turned sideways. With a sad look, she looked at Marion who was sitting on the other armchair, and shook her head helplessly: "I'm afraid it's really impossible. Marion. If I could, I would have helped you a long time ago. I understand your feelings very well, Marion, we Ain Sidi also left our hometown, and even before I became a sorcerer, I had to leave my hometown. I live alone in an unfamiliar land and endure those eyes that look like strange animals. But I'm sorry, that teleportation channel has been closed, unless the portal can reach the same location again in the future, maybe I can find the coordinates."

"About how many years?"

"I think... if it can be done, within ten years."

Enid gave an optimistic estimate.

Marion hopes to have a chance to go home. Of course, she does not regret being brought here by Zelin from the floating island that was about to crash. At least here, she is still alive, but she fell down at that height, I am afraid that she is now on the grave. The saplings can already provide shade for passers-by. However, after living for so many years, watching residents from other worlds can freely return to their hometown and visit relatives and friends, Marion will inevitably feel a little homesick.

So this morning, she found Francesca and asked questions about the portal.

"Ten years..." Marion scratched her chin: "It would be great if I could send a letter back."

"I'm sorry, Marion."

"I know, ma'am, you don't want to be like this either." She sighed, and then squeezed a smile: "Then I will try my best not to change my appearance in ten years, so that I don't have time to go back, Varek and May. Lil can't recognize me. Excuse me, I'll go back first. Oh, yes, where is Zelin recently? Yesterday I saw in my pay box that he seemed to miscalculate the salary, it should be 20. Crown, not forty."

"He didn't make a mistake. From now on, uh... Marion, can I entrust you with some new tasks?" The slender quill from Azeroth turned between her dexterous fingers, and Francis got stuck. I thought about the language in my mind: "The future work may be very fulfilling, maybe it can be called busy. Therefore, I discussed with Zelin, can you please join our work? It seems that he has already put Part of the extra reward should be given to you."

Marion smiled self-deprecatingly and rubbed the tip of her nose: "Is this preparing to fire idle employees?"

"No, I hope you don't have this kind of misunderstanding." Francesca said quickly: "Of course you must respect your wishes. However, this is the age of war. Although the war is about to end, prices are already high. Even if you don't want to, Zelin is going to give you some extra pocket money. Not only you, Hillis, but also Frid and Jamily, they all got a lot."

"Ah, I'm not his lover, and I got so much money, how could I refuse the job he gave me. Haha." Marion got up from the wooden chair and patted her trouser legs: "If there is any work, , Just tell me directly, I’m waiting. When I was in Kirkwall, I used to work in an expedition for more than a year to pay off debts. If that job can be well paid like this, I don’t need to stay in the mine for that long."

"It's actually very simple. I need someone who is reliable and smart enough to conduct on-site exploration of some mines. You should take a break and be prepared. When you come here tomorrow, we will talk about work. Question. Ah, yes." Francesca took out a note, she looked a little tired, but she looked very good: "Zelin is in the living room downstairs, give him this note ."

"No problem, ma'am."

When Marion went downstairs with a note, she happened to see Yamily on the second floor wearing her beautiful new dress, showing Yusevka the new jewelry she had just bought enthusiastically.

Unlike the others in the castle, this blood elf always likes to dress up brightly. It may be a certain tradition or the influence of the living environment, but this approach seems incompatible with the others in the castle.

Walking to the first floor, the magic broom controlled by Yamily was automatically sweeping the dust on the ground.

Every time Marianne saw these peculiar magics from other worlds, she felt her eyes brightened. This is much more practical than dangerous spells that use the power of the shadow world.

When I walked to the living room, the door of the living room was ajar, revealing a gap. Marion stood in front of the door and knocked gently: "Zelin, are you there?"

"Who? Please come in."

"It's me." Marion opened the door and held up Enid's note: "Mrs Enid let me..."

She paused, and there was another girl in the living room wearing a light red shirt and brown leather pants, who seemed to be talking about something with Zelin. On the other side, there was a figure wearing a black cloak and a blood-red wool robe. Although the hood covered half of his face, Marion determined that this was also a female through the pale and pointed chin on the lower half.

I don't know if it is an illusion. It seems that her landlord often meets female guests.

"Ah, did I bother?"
