The Journey of the Demon Hunter

The doctor walked to the wooden table on the other side of the clinic.

"Don't stay out too late. There are spirits. Pay attention to your stomach. Also, smoking is bad for your lungs. I suggest you quit it."

"Can you smell it?" He tasted Shire's tobacco in Middle-earth, but Francesca couldn't find it.

Yusefka turned her head and smiled slightly. "Because I am a doctor, you shouldn't put tobacco in the inner pocket of your clothes." The doctor rubbed the tip of his nose, "Don't drink too much."

Chapter 796: Conspiracy and Countermeasures

"We can do another trial of the grass after a period of time. We now have a safe mutation method, and these potential children can survive."

Aiden put the wine glass on the table and rubbed his hands. "Since we have the help of those ladies, why don't we try more improvements, stronger strength, faster reaction speed. The past trials are because there is no stability The premise is to proceed with the help of the curse, maybe we can modify it a bit."

The Vizima champion and Mahakam mead are on the table. The former has a very low alcohol content and is suitable for the opening, while the latter is hailed as the dwarf’s greatest contribution to world culture. It is not easy to have so many demon hunters sitting together, not to mention that every member of the school is here. Zelin took out the good wine and dried meat from the inventory. As for the female warlocks who helped with the trial of the grass, the ladies politely declined this meat-based banquet because of their body shape.

"Don't be too anxious, we should take it step by step." Ceres looked at the cup in front of him. "We have enough time to improve and explore. The last thing we lack is time."

This is a very good future. The success of a Demon Hunter Academy depends on whether it can nurture a real Demon Hunter. Now that they have succeeded in the first step, their previous efforts are not meaningless. They now have every reason to imagine the next action, and Ceres is right. The last thing the demon hunter lacks is time.

"I remember you said last night, what clue did you find." Eskell drank the drink in his glass and touched the corner of his mouth. "What clue? Who was trying to attack the castle?"

The time of the attacker's appearance is too sensitive. During the trial of the grass, any mistake in such a dangerous trial may lead to irreparable consequences. Not to mention that if the Sorceress’s Stabilization Curse was in the most dangerous stage and there was an error during the neurovirus infection, the probability of Cogrim’s survival would be greatly reduced.

"I found a magic crystal, which can be used to cast spells and communicate from a long distance." Zelin frowned slightly. "I activated that crystal. The communication of the crystal is connected to the Montcavor Castle. It is the sorcerer Philippa. Ahart’s private realm."

"This Ahart is now the ruler of Redania, everyone knows it." After the death of Vezmir II, the young Ladovide V was not eligible for the rights of Redania immediately. Today, the most powerful kingdom in the north is under the regent of Queen Hagway and the royal council. Although this is said, any northerner can understand that the queen is only a nominal regent, and the royal council is held in the hands of the spy chief Dixcher and the sorcerer Philippa Erhardt." Why does she do this, and what is her purpose?"

"Who can guess what the sorcerer thinks, especially a woman who holds the power of magic, but also controls the power of the world." Renne shrugged. "The spies of Ridania are all over the north, and the spies of the whole country are there. For her to move around, if she wants to do something about the castle, we must be prepared. She can send more than one knight."

"I don't believe in these warlocks." George shook his head. "The Warlock Order of Sunnid Island is willing to cooperate with us. This is very good, but we also had the help of warlocks during the Kyle Morkhan period, but this does not mean all warlocks. ."

George was right. After the division of the Order of Warlocks, the Order of Sunnid Island could no longer represent the opinions of most warlocks and wizards. Being able to get some help from the sorcerer does not mean that they can ignore the threat from the caster.

"She can assign troops and knights, but she is not invulnerable, she has weaknesses."

Resso moved her fingers. "We should let her understand that her hand stretched too far."

"I talked to Philiba through that crystal. I think there are still some problems with this matter. At least until it is confirmed, it is best not to act rashly." Zelin shook the glass in his hand, and the beer was in the mug. A white bubble came up on the wall, "This thing is too suspicious."

With such obvious magic power, even if there is no warlock in the castle, the diffuse chaotic energy can make the demon hunter's badge tremble. It stands to reason that it is difficult for such an old projection facility to cause such a large-scale impact. Moreover, they have not found any suspicious traces nearby. No one can slowly clean up their footprints when so many demon hunters go out to search. Traces. Unless it is a spellcaster, he comes to Mahakam through the portal, and then leaves again with the portal after putting down the crystal.

Marty once said that she almost thought it was someone using the portal to pass through the magic node of Mahakam, maybe she didn't feel wrong. This is not like what a spy is doing, it's like someone walking to the enemy's base camp and shouting loudly, for fear that no one will find themselves. There are too many doubts, and the current situation is equally unclear. They defeated the White Rose Knights, which does not mean that others will also die.

As for the Serekania that Philippa said, it was George who responded to the inquiries, so he claimed that Zelin had received a commission to go to Serekania in the desert empire. However, considering Serekania's habit of worshiping giant dragons, it is estimated that after hearing the appearance of a dragon's body, Philippa would not believe George's words.

"I think I'd better have a face-to-face conversation with Philippa in person. I will go to Vizima."

Zelin raised his head and drank the cup. Regardless of whether Philippa is in charge behind the scenes, as long as the academy's external threats can be reduced, it is a victory for them.

"I still said that." George said to Zelin. "I don't believe in that warlock. She can brew a coup, and naturally she can prepare a new conspiracy."

"To be honest, I don't want to believe her either." Zelin shrugged. "But I don't think Philippa would be stupid enough to send such a spy around the castle and leave evidence pointing to herself. If she really is For a person of this level, I wouldn't worry about anything."

Zelin is fairly familiar with Vizima, and Philiba's choice of meeting place outside of Rydania naturally has her consideration. She seemed to want to make it clear that this time she would not talk from the standpoint of Redania, but Zelin was very curious about what she could tell herself. According to Tishaya, Philippa has been trying to get more warlocks on her side during this time.

"George, I will go to Vizima until tomorrow. Then the castle will be handed to you."

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems with the castle." George nodded.

Chapter 797: Gold and Ambition

Zelin didn't know which senior demon hunter named this potion his wife's tears. Such a potion with a literary style, he is more inclined to be developed by a certain female alchemist.

The name of this potion is in line with its effect, and it can make a drunk person wake up quickly from the effects of alcohol. This potion is undoubtedly very important when facing a situation that must be awake to deal with after drinking a lot of alcohol.

Although the success of the Trial of Green Grass is a good thing to celebrate, after the demon hunters determined how to deal with Philippa-related matters, they brought the topic to other areas. Monsters, apprentices, wars, and knowledge in various places. But Zelin hadn't forgotten that the young businessman from Ebin was still waiting in the castle. Ignatz, as a southerner, his name is very short.

"For Kewell Mining Company, the business on Dimojin Metals, I don’t think this is a good business. Dimojin’s acquirers are now limited to the Eternal Fire Church in the north, and we can’t find other customers, regardless of the mining industry. The price offered by the company is so cheap that it is not worth it to us."

Regarding the opinions put forward by Zelin, the Aibin people have their own views. From a commercial point of view, a large number of anti-magical metal ores have not been acquired by anyone. The mining company of Kerviel is trying its best to divide this piece of continuous loss. At that time, even if the purchase price was low, it was a loss-making business.

"You are an expert in this regard, Ignatz, but this matter cannot be considered purely from a commercial point of view." Zelin shook his head. For ordinary people, anti-magical metal is expensive and meaningless. It is not harder than other metal ores, and its application range is not as wide as iron and copper. It's just that for the demon hunters and wizards, this thing may be more important than gold and more dangerous than mercury.

The price of anti-magical metal dropped and the church of Eternal Fire stopped buying because of the rumor that Dimojin had failed. But whether it was Zelin or Francesca, they knew what the truth was, anti-magic metal never failed. , It is still the nemesis of chaotic energy, a nightmare for spellcasters. Taking advantage of the fact that the source of the anti-magical metal ore is in his own hands, it is better than waiting for the church of Eternal Fire to recover and rearm an army with anti-magical metal.

For Mahakam’s castle, anti-magical metal is not a problem, but for the warlocks on Sinide Island, it is a difficult enemy to fight against. Not to mention, anti-magic metal is a necessary material in the armor of the master craftsman.

"If you insist, I will proceed to deal with this matter. Although I think it is more important to seize the opportunity to seize the mining, forestry and aquaculture industries in Aden and Livia." The Aibin sighed.

"Wait, what are you doing this time?" Zelin raised his eyebrows. "I heard that the Nifogardians almost demolished all the workshops and mines in the area between Mahakam and the Blue Mountains. There is only Ruins, and monsters that followed blood and corpses after the human inhabitants fled." Various monsters will always follow the war. War means a reduction in the number of human inhabitants and a large number of corpses. It is a stable source of food for monsters. In every battle, hundreds of corpses or even more will be dropped.

"But as I said, gold knows no borders, and everyone needs gold." The Ebins are noncommittal about the difficulties they may encounter. "If the Nilfgard can win, they need to collect taxes, and the dead will not pay. Taxes, ruins will not pay taxes, they will be happy to see someone rebuild these destroyed industries, so that the governor sent here does not need to consider reconstruction funds, but can also get a lot of taxes."

The young businessman straightened his chest, his hair was neatly combed back, and he seemed very talkative when it came to discussing his professional issues.

"If the imperial army is defeated, the kings who seek refuge in the field will return. If they rely on their own ability to rebuild the ruined territory, they need a large amount of foreign loans, and they must rebuild, otherwise it will be a problem whether they can feed themselves. Without taxes and property, they would have no source of gold coins. And I, I have everything ready. They just need to return to their castle without worrying about any troubles, life will be as usual, and taxes will not be lacking either."

He came to a conclusion.

"No matter which side wins, we can get huge profits. We will dominate the main industries of the two kingdoms of Livia and Aden. Nowadays, people are focusing on wars and battles for cities, but we should watch Going further, post-war reconstruction is an unavoidable topic, first come first served."

"Don't you worry about looting your rebuilt industry when the imperial army is defeated and retreated?" Zelin asked him "just like they did when they attacked."

"No, if a legion of this size in the empire will be defeated, it will be a defeat. Just like in Sutton Hill, they will first consider preserving their strength. Too much luggage and facilities will slow down their retreat. I I have already considered this possibility." The Aibin shook his head. "I know you will definitely ask, when the kings of the north come back, what will they do if they rely on soldiers to forcibly **** them? I have investigated the north and I will organize one. The Chamber of Commerce is not just a cooper tanners union in one or two cities, but a chamber of commerce spanning several countries."

"Can you make sure that your plan is foolproof?" Zelin asked.

"No one can say that my plan is foolproof, but I will try my best to make sure it succeeds."

"This must require a lot of money?"

"Many..." The Aibin sighed. "Many. The war has brought the best opportunity. It left such a large blank area. I don't know how much I can win, but the more I win, the plan will be made. The more likely it is to proceed. The gap between a city, a province and a country is very large."

"Your ambition surprised me."

"I came to the north not to do nothing." The Aibin shook his head. "This is a great place of opportunity."

"How much does your plan cost?" Zelin asked suddenly.

"Many, many."

"Specifically?"

The Aibin hesitated for a while, and he said a number.

"I will continue to sponsor you, and the distribution between us will still be based on what you said in the past, the shares? According to the golden ratio."

"What is this? Demon hunter's treasure?" the merchant asked curiously.
