The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Very smart." Zelin nodded. "You should tell me when I walk into the city."

Chapter 800: Mud Village

Lakeside Village Inn?

Zelin thought that people like Philippa would like the most luxurious hotel in the city, with neatly laid floor tiles and red and green flowers instead of muddy streets, full of foraging hens and squawking. For ducks, there are only beds with straw and rattan mats. Otherwise, he would not come directly to Vizima's trading area, but to the Hairy Bear Inn in the Temple area and find a stable to take care of the rape.

Now Tamoria and Ridania are military allies. Even if King Foltest is dissatisfied with the warlocks after the coup on Suned Island, Philippa is still eligible to live in the royal castle to entertain others. The king’s room, especially in this period, when Foltest is on the front line, and the city is managed by the mayor of Willerard.

To get to the other side of Lake Vizima, he needs to find a ferry on the embankment of the city. For safety reasons, the ferry will not sail at night.

So Zelin found an inn, and after declining the invitation of an anesthetic powder dealer, an unskilled dice gambler, and a clad prostitute, he exchanged five Oren for a room. The room is close to the timber storage room, at the end of the corridor, Zelin dare to say that this is definitely the narrowest and most dilapidated room in the entire hotel. Next door is the gambling ring in the hotel, where the sound of boxing and the cheers of the audience kept going all night.

As long as there is enough money, the owner is willing to generously supply a variety of mixed ale, gossip and interesting news. Except for the water-mixed ale, the other two items are still worth the money.

The store was crowded with customers. The air was filled with a breathless body odor and mist that seemed to cover a person’s eyes. Fortunately, it was cold outside. The incoming cold wind can bring people a little coolness. The waitress, still dressed in low-cut clothing in winter, twisted her buttocks and walked through the many guests with wine glasses. She put the ale bottle on the counter in front of the demon hunter, and then hurried to other guests who were waiting impatiently and began to yell. .

Zelin opened the bottle and poured a glass into the cup. There are many young people here who are obviously eager to sign up for the army. Perhaps this is why the Temorian army will strengthen the audit, etc. After the reorganized corps leaves the city, those generals will not want to see deserters from their subordinate armies.

Except for a thief who wanted to make some extra money this night, Zelin had no other troubles. However, thieves were not the only thing that night, Zelin inquired an interesting news from the innkeeper. He is not the first demon hunter to cooperate with a businessman. In Cowell, a demon hunter and an explorer who discovered a gemstone jointly set up a mine. The explorer is in charge of the business, and the demon hunter is in charge of the business. -He seems to be called Cohen-supervises the workers and drives away the monsters. They later became the legend of Kerviel. If given the chance, Zelin would love to meet this hunter.

There is also another news that, for some reason, the half-murlocs living in the swamp near Vizima have become more and more manic. There have even been cases of fishermen and loggers being attacked by half-murlocs. This is the same as those in the past. The half-murloc's mild situation is completely different.

Around noon the next day, he found a ferry that was willing to take him to the other side of Lake Vizima. To be sure, Philippa has received the news. He didn't believe that the spy would continue to stay leisurely in the city after he was discovered, as if nothing happened.

"Are you a traveler who came to see the underwater city?"

A layer of green algae floats on the surface of Vizima Lake, and the canoe slowly pushes away the algae leaves, breaking a scratch in a piece of pale green lake water. You can see some fishermen fishing nearby, as well as people who take their fishing nets into the nearby water to try their luck.

"No, I'm here to find someone."

Zelin shook his head. He knows the legend of the underwater city. In the past, there was a huge rock city at the location of Lake Vizima, but later, people in this city were punished by an angry **** for indulging in pleasure and desire. The whole city sank into the water due to a disaster. A few residents survived and they failed to bring out anything. The treasures and gold in the city were all flooded by the lake. Only when the moon is full, the phantom of the city will appear on the water to remind future generations of the disasters their ancestors have experienced. Over time, this time became a scenic spot near Vizima.

Demon hunters don’t know exactly why the city sank back then, but the legend is a true story. Often people can salvage valuable treasures and antiques in the water. You can see algae and algae in the shallower water. Architectural wreckage of shells and barnacles. As a result, treasure hunters can often be seen near Vizima Lake, as well as their floating bodies, half eaten by water ghosts.

"Tonight is when the moon is full, you must go to see the beauty, it is absolutely beyond your imagination." The ferryman introduced enthusiastically, "It is simply another city in time and space, with oval vaults and white marbles. Anyone who has seen the architecture will be shocked by this sight."

"No, I don't think I should have time. As far as I can tell, there are many monsters near the lake. I don't want to find myself surrounded by monsters when I wake up." Zelin shrugged. He really hadn't seen it. The reflection of the vice city, but after visiting so many worlds, especially after seeing magnificent cities like Yanan and Losric, he doesn’t know how many other cities can shock him, let alone just a phantom. .

"Don't worry, there is a village near the lake. The owner of the village hotel is a friend of mine. You can tell him that you are the person I invited to watch the scenery. You can rent a room there, and he will give you a discounted price. "

Zelin immediately understood the reason for the enthusiasm of the ferrymen.

"Well, I'll visit your friend's hotel." The demon hunter shrugged, and it happened that the hotel where Philippa was located was also there. Since he could get a preferential price, he had no reason to refuse.

When the boat reached the shore, Zelin asked the ferryman for the nearest way to the hotel in the lakeside village. It was just noon, and the sun was sinking slowly, and the evening sun was shining on the tall idols on the nearby shore. Zelin raised his head and looked at the distance because the time had already shown a pale green stone statue. The stone statue is a woman, pinching her waist with one hand, with the other finger pointing to the distance, which is the direction of the rising sun.

Shaking his head, the demon hunter walked along the country road that was trampled on the grass towards the lakeside village not far away.

Chapter 801 Philippa Ahart

Philippa Erhardt.

Zelin no longer knows how many times he has met her, starting from when he was in Oceanford three years ago, and the most recent time was on Sinide Island. I have to say that every time he and Philippa meet, it can't be said how hostile, but it can't be said how pleasant it is. In Didi Village, where there are clucking hens and mice that do not know that they will emerge from above, the sorcerer can still use gold coins to find a good place for herself. This is the house of the village chief’s daughter. After being decorated by magic, it is no less inferior to the best room in the hotel in the city from the looks of it.

"Why don't you take off your badge, it's too noisy."

The sorcerer was sitting at a table, holding a small magic book in her hand. The candles on the table provide light to the room. She tilted her legs, leaning back on the back of the seat, her face was plain and confident. When she heard the footsteps, she raised her head, closed the book in her hand, and looked at the demon hunter who opened the door and walked into the house with her dark brown eyes. "The shaking of your badge is clearly audible from ten meters away. ."

"Your magic lights up a bonfire in the dark, and all users of chaos energy from a hundred meters away can notice where you are." Zelin looked around the house. There are too many places where illusions are imposed. Some kind of four-dimensional illusion makes the space of the house more than doubled. But the illusion is the illusion, it is impossible to make it really become a luxurious guest room, and it is impossible to make the cockroaches in the crevices of the straw turn into butterflies and fly away. "Only you? Unexpectedly."

"One." Philippa pointed at the demon hunter with her ruby ​​ring finger, and then pointed at herself "Right to one, it's fair. I don't need a spy here."

There is no other person hidden in the house. The scale of the house is small, and the ears of the demon hunter did not hear the third person's breathing.

Zelin took out the magic crystal he found around the castle and placed it on the table. Philippa lowered her eyes, looked at the lavender diamond-shaped crystal, and waved contemptuously.

"This is your proof?"

"What do you think of this?" Zelin looked at the diamond-shaped crystal lying on the table, holding the badge on his chest in one hand. He was very careful not to give the female warlock a chance to look directly into his eyes. He had a fresh memory of the situation at the Sunnid Island meeting. He read his thoughts and it seemed that every warlock didn’t know what privacy was. Once Francesca also told Zelin that when you realized that you could When you read the thoughts of everyone around you without hindrance, and peek at their ridiculous thoughts, you will quickly become addicted to it and enjoy it.

"The planting of inferior means."

"But who would do this, with magic?"

"Many people, it's like a coup, magic." Philippa shook her head slightly. "Someone is trying to disintegrate the North, just like they did on Sinide Island."

"Your coup has made things that could have been settled through negotiation become bloodshed." Zelin walked to the other side of the house, the glass windows were blurry, but it could still allow him to see the situation outside. "If there were not so many mages. Realizing that staying in the north may be life-threatening, who will take the risk and flee to the south."

"Gold is okay." Philippa waved her hands with disdain. "Wigwarts and his accomplices all fled to the south. They are still trying their best to please their new master and sell magic for the sake of prosperity and wealth! I don't expect you to be able to do so. Understand what I mean, Demon Hunter, but I think we have the same right to speak in the future, otherwise I will not come here to see you."

"For example, to seize the rule of Redania?" Zelin opened his hands. "I think in this kind of future, you don't need my help, and we probably don't have much common words in this regard. Go ahead. As your shadow ruler, I will consider how to make the demon hunter acceptable, and make this skill not cut off. We have nothing to do with each other."

"You are wrong, Demon Hunter." Philippa took a few steps forward, and she stretched a finger down a little bit. "This is what we have in common."

Zelin didn't respond, he was waiting for Philippa's next words.

"Devil hunters, you are mutant humans who specialize in hunting monsters, in order to protect people from monsters. This is a dangerous world. From the standpoint of humans, people should need more elite warriors who can hunt monsters. Ensure that they live safely in this world full of monsters. But people are always short-sighted and forgetful, ignorant and easy to be incited by immediate interests."

Philippa's hands were intertwined, and magic lines flowed out from her fingers, gathered in mid-air, and finally intertwined into a round sphere.

"Azulie and his mentor Cosimo Malaspina created the first demon hunter. Azulie is a powerful mage. The double cross art created by Azulie is the most powerful in the world. Summoning, he knows how many threats our world faces from monsters from other worlds. He is a spellcaster and can see the real threats clearly, but ordinary people who are short-sighted and ignorant, they don’t know anything and just want to believe in themselves. You should understand that an eternal fire, a group of religious lunatics who worship the brazier, can make so many farmers worship, but they sneer at the monster killer who can protect them."

"But Kyle Morhan was able to be breached back then, and the Warlock contributed to it."

Ze Lin said flatly.

"That's a mistake. Everyone will make mistakes." Philippa gently moved her fingertips, and the flames gradually surrounded the sphere. "But we can't make mistakes again and again. The order of this world is being destroyed, and magic, the only thing that can guide Things of order are being denied. Kings, nobles, civilians, soldiers, if there is no magic, the first batch of celestial confluence refugees who arrived in the Pontal Delta would die because they did not have shelter, food, and the ability to resist monsters and beasts. In the wilderness. White Lafada, the most powerful warlock of the year, rejected Tamoria's crown. That was a fatal mistake."

"There are enough exciting speeches, there is no need for one more. Your speech will not be more provocative than the preacher of the eternal fire." Zelin stared at what Philippa changed. "Tell me, you The purpose of?"

"Magic should not be damaged by the boring politics of national borders and those short-sighted kings. Magic is higher than politics. It should be the force that leads humanity forward, not the source of prohibition and fear." Philippa clenched her hands tightly. "One is made of magic." The ruling kingdom should be the future."

Chapter 802 Ambition

A magic kingdom.

Zelin found that he would never know how far Filipba's ambitions could be.

"Your ideal surprised me, ma'am, but I still want to say that you have found the wrong person." Zelin walked to the window, put his hands on the edge of the window, and took a deep breath. "I don't care about politics that much, unless it can Trouble with me. In my life, Tamoria has changed four kings, Ridania three, Nilfgard, and since I heard from them, three emperors. Time is changing, But monsters won’t. After a new round of celestial convergence, there will be new monsters. We do have the same purpose, that is, the right of the world should not interfere with our work. Therefore, we are neutral."

"You are wrong, Demon Hunter." Philippa shook her head. "It's a terrible mistake. When the king decides to destroy you, how can you stay out? Your castle can block one or two attacks, and you can block the first one. A hundred times? You can defeat a knight, but can you defeat a country? No, you can't. A country of magic power is to ensure that there will not be a group of stupid people leading this era astray."

"On the contrary, Philippa, it is because of your endless ambition that magic has reached the point it is now." Zelin waved his hand vigorously. "You don't have enough power, but you have ambitions far beyond power. White Lafada made the right decision that year. He separates magic from power until you start telling the king that you should do what you think."

"Is it because the demon hunters are treated like monsters because you covet the king's rights?" Philippa asked rhetorically.

"No, because there are warlocks who think we will threaten their rights." Zelin returned Philippa's words to herself. "You said, that was a mistake, yes, that was a mistake. You have been making mistakes all the time. I’ve never been awake. Your ambition will eventually kill yourself, Philippa. If you realize that you’re making a mistake, go to Tisaya. The world is facing the trial of fire, and it’s inevitable for all of us. Only by unity can we avoid those disasters, instead of throwing ourselves into the fire. Your ideals will only make you an enemy of the whole world, which is meaningless."
