The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Yes, what did you just say? Yes, curse."

After the earl’s eldest daughter showed signs of weakness, some people thought that she might be cursed by evil or possessed by a demon spirit. This is possible, as long as they are given enough time, they can guess a hundred different possibilities, as long as their imagination is rich enough. After the mage was expelled, Ailand also had no permanent sorcerers. For this symptom, they first went to a doctor, but it was meaningless. The consequences of the mysterious power were not one or two herbs or some chemical agents. Can be solved.

"Later, a liar went to accept the commission. That commission has been posted on the sign for three weeks and no one has ever moved. Then the man entered the city hall and waited until the next day, the earl declared a curse. It was cured. As a result, a few days later, someone came out and posted the yellowing notice. The poor lady was about to die, and the forest farm was expected to stop working for a while. These years, bad news is really increasing. "

The bad news is indeed increasing.

The monster in the forest was probably a day demon spirit. Of course, he couldn't make a conclusion before surveying the scene. However, the demon spirit in the day cannot curse the victim from a long distance. If the description he heard is correct, put these keywords together. Living in the forest and using chaotic energy, there are several that meet this requirement, but none of them are easy to deal with.

By the next day, Zelin bypassed Island City, and the earl’s manor was not far from Island City. As he walked along the outer wall, he noticed that the soldiers on the city wall looked a little nervous. He hadn't seen so many soldiers in the city yesterday evening. Today, these soldiers are as energetic as they have inhaled anesthetic powder. It seems that the news that Foltest is coming to Island makes some people nervous. After all, what they did, only what Zelin knew was enough to let their bodies hang along the road outside the city gate to the edge of the forest.

The wheat on the wheat fields outside the city has been harvested long ago, and only some wheat straw left in the fields, and some piles of wheat straw covered with oil canvas. The manor Zelin is going to is not far from the tavern where he rested that night. The earl is still in the city, because some people say that the curse may be contagious like an infectious disease, or the possessed demon spirit may attack others in the middle of the night. People, so the cursed victims were placed in this small manor outside the city.

Kedinger has no news, but it is estimated that it will not be too long. Although the scope of the Duke of Island is not small, there are not many places that are actually inhabited. Most of the residents and human villages gather near the city of Island.

The scope of this manor is small. Before Zelin arrived, he saw the red roof on the top of the manor through the wheat field. There were only some manor workers at the door, and there were debris floating in the air and the smell of wheat. It may be used to produce flour or make ale.

Seeing someone coming, there was a person standing in the doorway supervising the work of these workers. He wears a monocle, and a pair of small eyes look at the demon hunter behind the lens.

"Who are you? What do you do?" The overseer asked the demon hunter with his arms folded.

"I heard that there is a commission to get rid of the curse. I want to inquire about it." The cat school person has come here to accept the commission. Zelin feels that he should be able to find some valuable clues from here. "I have done something similar. Thing, maybe I can solve the trouble here?"

"Sorry, we don't need to cheat more... uh, wait, you are a demon hunter?" The overseer pushed his lens and said after seeing Zelin's eyes and badge, "What's going on these days? I’ve seen and heard at least three demon hunters in the past month. You are the fourth one. No, no! You come one by one, and then take away a portion of the money but do nothing, no Demon hunter is needed, you can go now."

"I'm here to solve this." Zelin turned over and dismounted. "I heard that some demon hunters took the bounty without completing the commission. This is not good for our reputation. Our castle is in Island. The Mahakam Mountains on the side, so I'm going to take a look." Zelin didn't explain in detail, there is no need to "I won't charge money, but you have to tell me all about the demon hunters you know. "

"No money? Okay." As soon as he heard that he didn't need pay, the supervisor's attitude improved a lot. He turned around and shouted to the few workers who were secretly resting behind the haystack, "Get me up!" Otherwise your wages and dinner will be gone!"

Several frightened workers jumped up quickly, picked up the wooden crates used as cushions and ran towards a windmill in the distance.

"It's really troublesome." The supervisor mumbled a few words. "Come with me, Demon Hunter, let's go in and talk."

ps: I thought about it. Anyway, the Wizard Gwent card has also come out. After I encounter the original characters, I will put a Gwent card. There are almost all the images in it, and the paintings are also good.

Chapter 667 Diagnosis

The scale of this manor is small, it is probably a place for storing wheat.

"What do you want to know, Demon Hunter? We have had enough trouble." The overseer scratched his head and patted the falling wheat ears on his shoulder. He sounded a little impatient. "Just hurry up if you want to ask. We must send the prescribed wheat to the city before dark today."

"I won't delay you much time." Zelin folded his arms. "How much do you know about the cat school demon hunter who came here? If I remember correctly, he should call himself Aiden?" Zelin still remembered what Lambert told him, Aiden of the cat school, he thought that Aiden was different from other members of the cat school, and he was not a willing killer. Judging from his behavior, Lambert’s words are highly credible, and the general cat school would not accept the commission to lift the curse, because there is a lot of uncertainty and the reward is not high.

After all, no one knows the source of the curse. It may be just an abnormal rag doll, it may be cursed by an enemy, or it may be cursed by a demon. Compared with the business of killing people, lifting the curse is not a good way to make money. To be simple, you only need to find the person who casts the spell to get the bounty. In trouble, you may face powerful demons and even lose your life for it.

"I don't remember his name. It seems to be Aiden, or Aidan or Aidan, that's it anyway." The supervisor rubbed his nose. "What are you asking about this? If I heard it right, you didn't come to help relieve it. Cursed?"

"Yes, so I need to understand what the person who tried to lift the curse did before, just like a doctor needs to know what kind of treatment his patients have received in the past." This manor is not suitable for patient training, rumored That's right, the curse made the Earl's eldest daughter in a bad condition. Obviously, her family has no hope of a cure.

"Ha, you really look like an expert." The supervisor nodded in agreement. Then he came to a conclusion that the reason why the eldest lady was cursed was that she was cursed by the demon spirit, and needed to burn gorse and ash in the room, and then stay away from the forest."

"It works?"

"It worked in the beginning." Zelin noticed that the overseer's complexion had become bad, and the treatment process was definitely not a good memory. "I really don't know if the reason for the effect was because his method worked, or because he was burned. I can't stand the smoke when I get up, and I'm all refreshed."

Gorse and ash are used to deal with the curse of transformation. This curse is a weakened version of the werewolf curse. It may cause monster hair to grow on people, or canine teeth become longer, and eyes become bloodshot. , And there will be a long period of coma before the victim is cursed to take his life. But Zelin didn’t know which school would choose to use ash to match the gorse. If it were him, he would choose wicker or hazel. The effect of ash is exaggerated. In fact, it is as unreliable as tortoise-shaped stone. Spectrum.

"What happened later?"

"Later?" The overseer looked around, and walked to the door, paying particular attention to the workers, as if worried that they would steal the wheat while he was away. After the inspection, he walked back again. "We should have known that we could not let him go so quickly. At that time, we all thought the curse was gone, so we handed him the bounty. As a result, the day after the liar left, the eldest daughter of the earl His body began to weaken again, and everything returned to its original condition on the third day, except that a large amount of money was missing in our treasury."

"If I want to find this person, do you have any clues?"

The overseer scratched his neck, and the dander floating in the air seemed to make his skin allergic. "When I was in this manor, I seemed to have heard him say that he liked the Livia Cherry Liquor at the Crossroads Inn outside Allland. You know, Livia has been occupied by the men in black, and their winery has been dismantled into parts and transported away. This kind of wine is only sold in that hotel now, but I really don’t know what this wine has. It's delicious."

"Thank you for the information." Zelin looked at the main house in the manor. "May I have a look at the victim?"

"Of course."

The supervisor agreed without hesitation, but unexpectedly, it was not in the largest house, but in a side house in the courtyard of the manor. It was more isolation than cultivation. The overseer just led the demon hunter to the door and refused to move on.

"If it's okay, I'll go back to work." He coughed softly. "It's your business to deal with the curse. I don't want to be infected with something strange." Finally, the supervisor mumbled and walked out of the manor and returned. Wheat field outside. Zelin could hear his roar at the workers who took the opportunity to slacken off across the wall.

Shrugging, Zelin pushed open the door. A pungent smell of smoke rushes over, gorse and ash, which can indeed deal with some curses, but if the method is wrong, it has no meaning other than it can make people cry. The layout of the room is very simple. There is a brazier on the floor in the middle, and there are still unburned ashes inside, as well as a few pieces of gorse petals scattered outside, and the charred ash will follow the wind that blows in when the door is opened. There was sporadic redness on it.

Zelin walked over and completely extinguished the brazier. He didn't know what Aiden thought, but he definitely found the wrong way. Although the young **** the bed fell into a coma, there was no sign of a curse of transformation. Perhaps the purple lips and pale face could be regarded as early signs of the curse, but unless it is a curse that can kill people immediately, otherwise. By the time the victim's life is threatened, the curse has already become apparent.

"He certainly doesn't have a good teacher."

This cat school demon hunter probably dozed off while studying boring curse books, or his teacher only taught him swordsmanship seriously. In fact, a hundred years after the cat school became a killer, it surprised him that their people could still retain some knowledge that had nothing to do with swordsmanship. Without the organization of the demon hunters, the death of a few old hunters may make some precious knowledge disappear completely.

According to Zelin's own observation, apart from falling into a coma, the cursed girl had no other obvious symptoms. Vitality is constantly being lost, and there is almost only one monster curse related to this.

Chapter 668: Crossroads

"Deer, deer head spirit?"

"Yes, this monster will impose a curse on the creatures that enter its territory, allowing part of its soul to lodge on the victim. This makes it difficult to kill, even if it is knocked down, it can be reborn after a period of time. "Many of the magic of the deer head spirit said the druid dreams, such as communicating with animals and controlling plants. And some spells are things that sorcerers especially want to understand, such as this kind of curse on the soul. But now that the warlock himself is hard to protect, it is estimated that the research on magic has long stopped.

"You, can you kill that monster? Right?"

Zelin explained to the supervisor, but he didn't seem to understand at all.

"No, if I kill that monster now, she will be dead. I will remove the curse first. It will take about a day." Zelin recalled what he had learned. "You go find some Pistacia chinensis and Konoha Agave, and buckthorn, the latter is in the water and... it smells bad, pale yellow water plants, don’t look for it wrong."

"Uh, you don't need to be paid, do you?"

"Believe it or not, I will go to deal with that monster tomorrow night." The demon hunter pointed to the river in the distance. Drink the juice, a cup is enough, and then immediately sleep.” Zelin told the supervisor of all the precautions. Sometimes he had to say more in detail, even a few more times before they could understand “you Better to be faster."

"No problem..." The supervisor scratched the back of his head. "Looking for something, what kind of grass?"

"The buckthorn is at the bottom of the river." Zelin sighed. "Remember to remind the workers to be careful of water ghosts."

Taking advantage of this time, Zelin just tried to take a look at the Crossroads Hotel, the most frequented cat school. If he hasn’t left Island, and he went to the hotel because he likes a certain product, then he must be sure next. Will pass. At night, he just needs to wait. Following the road people pointed to him, he saw the Crossroads Inn on the outskirts of Island, probably in the afternoon.

This road leads to Badov in the south, to Dordain in the west, and the mountain road to Mahakam in the east. Signs made of wood are hung at the intersection, and the painted place names on them have long been dimmed by the wind and the sun. If you depart from Island at noon, you will be able to arrive here by the end of the evening. The road ahead is hidden in a low-lying land full of weeds and ditches. The bottom of the bushes in the distance is pitch black, which exudes the stench of corrupting water plants. These muddy swamp puddles are likely to hide water ghosts. Or the Swamp Witch. Even if there are no monsters, mosquitoes that are extremely active at night are enough for travelers.

The Crossroads Hotel is located on a high slope, and standing here can clearly see how dangerous the road to follow is. These innkeepers are commendable for their ability to select locations. No matter where they go, as long as they take the road, travelers will pass by here. As for those who don't take the main road, sometimes Zelin can often see unowned corpses and damaged carriages in some forests, and it is difficult to survive a monster attack without help. The possibility of encountering monsters on the avenues where pedestrians are frequent is definitely much less than that of dense forest trails.

Because of the war, not many people went to the south, and most people just stopped for a while on the way to the north. The war blocked trade routes and the flow of people, and no one wanted to go to the war zone. When Zelin opened the door and entered, there were only a few people inside. This hotel dedicated to travelers is not doing well now.

Hearing the creak of pushing the door, the person who was wiping the table looked up, with a circle of white cloth on his forehead, and the apron in front of him looked a little yellow because of the oil stains. "What do I need? Drink? Eat?" Or do you need a room to rest?"

"Yes, give me something to drink." Zelin looked at it. This hotel is not small in scale. There is a staircase on the left leading to the second floor. It must have undergone an expansion, but before the end of the war, he The hotel is going to be empty for a long time. "I heard you have Livia cherries here? I thought they were all out of production."

"I still have some stocks, but not many, so they have all increased in price." The innkeeper shook the rag in his hand and wiped the table again as if bored. "How much do you want? Don't you want something to eat? Drinking alone can’t fill your stomach. We have bread, cheese and smoked dried fish. Or, do you want some roast lamb? Of course, prices are rising now, no one is farming, no one is grazing, or fleeing, Either go to the army. If you want to be the same as before, you can only go to Marpley or Vizima, where there is nothing missing."
