The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Enough money.

Thinking of those numbers, Rains couldn't help but feel a heartache. Wigwarts has given him a lot of money, but Ebin, this **** ghost place is like a bottomless pit. Those exposed women and all kinds of refreshing entertainment almost emptied his body. And purse. He didn't doubt whether Wigwarts would screw off his head after discovering his subordinates, after indulging in pleasure and delaying the task, as he said. So he must hire bounty hunters himself, and the premise is that when he finds the bounty hunters, Berhart has no other commissions.

After enjoying the last bag of hemp powder, when the excitement of the brain from the stimulation of the drug gradually subsided, Raines walked down to the second floor of the hotel. That girl won't run too far, he will catch her, no matter what his master intends to do, catching Xili's credit will allow him to obtain unimaginable wealth today.

But not everyone can have a relaxed employer like Rains.

Relatively loose.

Vadier Di Lidox, the head of Nilfgaard’s military intelligence department, was bowing his head, listening to the emperor’s reprimand.

"This is my intelligence department. The budget you get from the imperial parliament is more than three times that of the public education department, the arts department and the culture department combined." Emperor Enhill said coldly, "I have invested countless amounts in you. Fund to build a strong intelligence department, but you have brought me very little results! Where is Wigwarts? Where is Shilia!? When the parliament proposes to cut the budget of the intelligence department, I will Listen carefully to their opinions, I will definitely."

The Imperial Intelligence Agency successfully planned the assassination of Vezmir II, and provided accurate information to the commanders of the Imperial Legion on the front line before the operation of the Northern Kings to ensure that they could successfully seize the Yaruja River. An outflank action that was enough to be included in the textbook, annihilated the main army of the kingdoms of Aden and Livia. This is a commendable achievement, but Vadier Di Lidox knew very well that the emperor said no, and he had better forget these things too.

"I believe that the most honorable Majesty will definitely be able to make the most correct decision after weighing the pros and cons." Vadier Di Lidox cleared his throat. "Please forgive me for taking the liberty, Your Majesty, I think your Majesty should be Marriage of girls under house arrest has many benefits. The empire can obtain the legal claim of the Hinterlands, stabilize the Skellig Islands, reduce the pressure of the empire from the sea, and quell the rebellion in the northern provinces, and we need King Corvell Istrad Tyson’s neutrality ensures that he will not join the Northern Allied Forces..."

The emperor's gaze made the head of the Imperial Intelligence Service lower his voice.

"And... we can put on a wedding dress for that girl. Now the choice is not the most important. The Hinterlands have not seen the real Princess Shilia for four years. As far as we know, Princess Shilia When I was young, I spent more time in the Skellig Islands than in the Hinterlands..."

He didn't understand why the emperor cares so much about the authenticity of an identity. Titles can be fabricated, and claims can be forged, as long as some old parchment paper and seals. It doesn't matter if the girl is true or not. What is needed is her claim to that piece of land. In the history of the empire, in order to merge the southern countries, such methods were used frequently.

"...And if your Majesty must request this, we can quietly exchange the person on the queen's throne after finding the real Princess Shilia..."

"Have you lost your mind, Wadier?"

"No, your majesty, I just... my spies have received the news that the Rydanians found a laboratory in Wigwarts in the north, and they found that Wigwarts was conducting a brutal human experiment, and more To be precise, it is the experiment of complete placental dissection on human embryos, pregnant women’s placenta, and artificial insemination. I am worried that if Wigwarts has found Princess Shilia before us, and used those experiments in ......."

"Shut up! Vadir." This is the first time the head of the Imperial Intelligence Service saw such obvious anger on the face of the frosty Emperor Enhill. "Tell me, you are already working hard to prevent this from happening. Up!"

"Of course, Your Majesty, I do have news that may be of interest to you. Of course, it is not from the north. I will report Baihuagu's information to you later."

Chapter 809 is like riding a bike

"Where are you? I originally wanted to discuss some things with you, but the demon hunters told me that you had already left."

Francesca appeared on the other side of the telescope. If this convenient magic item can be used by everyone, it will change many things. This is obviously impossible until the cost of making telescopes is found to be cheaper.

"I'm in Vizima, and I met with Philippa. She seems to have formed a new organization. I need to make sure that she will not have any crazy plans." Zelin said to Francesca. He Being on the road at night is extremely dangerous for many people. The night is the time for the monster monster to jump flexibly, but he is a demon hunter, and he doesn't mind adding more alchemy materials to himself.

It took about a day. Zelin purchased all the necessary materials and herbs from the druid camp near Vijma and the herbalist in the temple area. The experience of this time made him understand one thing, to another In the world, what he needs most is these alchemy materials, which are used to make all kinds of props. When he arrived at the druid camp that afternoon, he found something very interesting. The druids had already started raising pterodactyls. Although they were just small pterodactyls, when they grew up, they could serve as a virtue. The monster Ruiy fought is a combat power that cannot be underestimated.

"Um... this is really bad news." Francesca on the other side seemed to be thinking, she paused before continuing, "Did you see Philippa? No, let's not talk about it. You have to go to the south too. We can go together. I can wait for you for a while. The road from Baihua Valley to Tousent has been controlled by the Imperial Army. Our journey will be fast and easy."

"I have this idea."

Compared to traveling from Temoria and Bruges to the Yaruja, crossing the Yaruja from Aden into the Anglin area is much safer. Although the ruins after the war are full of derived monsters, dealing with these monsters is much easier for a demon hunter and an archmage than to pass through the front line of the confrontation between two legions. According to the plan, Zelin found a wooden boat at the pier northeast of Vizima that was traveling on the Islina River. Most of the ships still sailing on the Islina River are to transport soldiers and logistical supplies to the Maribo front.

However, one more person and one more horse will not have any impact. These ships are basically civilian ships temporarily levied by Tamoria, and those captains will not refuse to make more money without affecting the amount of supplies delivered. The Temorian navy is almost invisible on the river, because the warships customized from the Sidaris Shipyard are now in the waters off the Sidaris Peninsula. Together with the Skellige pirates, they compete with the Imperial fleet for control of the coastal areas. . If they lose the coastline, the imperial army can enter the Ponta River directly from the Pontal Delta, completely encircling Temoria.

This river originates in the middle of the Mahakam Mountains. Zelin can take a boat along the river to the middle reaches, east of the Duke of Island, so that he can cross the mountains in another two days and then On the morning of the fourth day, go to the other side of the mountain to meet the wizard warlock.

"You sound very...unhappy? Are you in trouble?"

Along the way, he would often contact Francesca. He needs to know more about the South. After all, Zelin's knowledge of the area south of Tousent existed decades ago. At that time, the empire had not reached the Amer Mountains. The northerners knew about Nilfgard. It only exists in history and geography books. Like Hacklan and Serekania, until recent years, people in black appeared in the northerners’ field of vision and came with war. The elves need to ensure that this meeting with the Duchess Anna is as perfect as possible. She not only needs to understand Anna herself, but also the court of the Duchess.

Although the elf did not say much, it can be heard that the negotiations between her and the northern countries in various aspects are not going smoothly. Dole Bretner has nothing competitive, except for a few expensive magic items that are in low demand. In other places, whether it’s Kovind’s wheat or Redania’s meat products, there are all kinds of All kinds of tools and necessities are things that Baihuagu needs urgently. In this regard, it is difficult for her to have more room for bargaining.

"If your country is still facing a food shortage crisis, you will not be happy. The king of the valley you know has assistance from the elves. Regardless of the situation of this transaction to Tousant, the next portal will open. At that time, I want to go to the sky with you."

"Why do you say that?"

"Those... kings and local powerful nobles, they don't want to sell products to the elves, no, I want to tell them, they don't want to use this method to threaten me, I have other sources of trade. Talk to me more The empire and storm cloak in your mouth, if it is to find a long-term stable trading partner, which one do you think is better?"

"No, I think you should consider... which side will survive the next civil war."

Francesca's idea is good. They are now assisted by researchers from Eritusa College. They can think of ways to improve the transmission technology. If they can get help from the mages and scholars of Banad College, they can establish a long-distance and stable portal. Trade between different worlds seems to be able to obtain benefits beyond imagination. What's more, Zelin is not without a way to find a trade route in Skyrim.

"Have you and Tishaya negotiated the establishment of a stable portal?"

"No, I think because of some things, I might have to postpone the plan to meet her... But I have an idea, you can talk to her, maybe it will be good for repairing your relationship."

"Um...thank you."

According to the elves, they finally met in a village near Dole Bretanna. In fact, it was said to be a village. Today there are only ruins left. The charred remains are like soot from someone’s hands falling on a pale yellow scroll. Under the big banyan tree near the village ruins, Zelin saw Francesca who was ready to ride a horse.

"Let's go." The elf stretched out his hand "It's like a hike? We don't seem to have traveled together yet."

"Yes, it's like..." Zelin also stretched out his hand, and the elf's slender fingers held him "Stroll. Let's go."

Chapter 810 The White Queen

"You and Philippa, I hope you talk about the results."

"It sounds like you know her and the organization behind her?"

"You can think of it as... a place where you can trade behind the scenes."

"You joined?"

"Of course."

Whether it was the forest or the countryside, everything seemed so empty after the war. The only constant is the country lanes where countless people, horses and carts walked out. The farmland was already deserted. When the imperial army defeated the northern coalition’s defense line along the Yaluga River, they crossed the river in the autumn. Adenian and Livians burned many wheat lying in the fields that were about to mature, and then they came. The man in black raided the remaining things to deal with the cold winter.

Snow fluttered in the sky, and the fields were covered with whiteness. However, this did not affect the demon hunter and the warlock, and Francesca used a small spell to solve the temperature trouble very well. On the frozen mud in the distance, a ghoul was digging out the corpse from the mud. On the side of the road, the wreckage of the carriage can still be seen, and snowflakes stained it white. Zelin found a few coins and two broken bones. The owner of the carriage was obviously attacked, robbers, deserters, or the squirrel party.

"If I can directly talk to the people in power behind the northern countries, why should I waste time with those trade ministers and envoy representatives?"

"Good idea, but I don't think southerners would like to hear this news."

"I don't know what the southerners would think, but if Enhill heard this news, he would definitely try to find a list of southern witches among them."

"I hope you can pay attention to your safety. A king has already been assassinated."

"Don't worry."

"No, I don't worry at all."

Along the way, at least before crossing the Yaruja River into the empire, they could not find a country hotel or a village where they could provide accommodation. However, their requirements for accommodation are not high, and the imperial army has not burned down all the villages, and some abandoned houses. The elf warlocks only need to cast a spell to wipe away the dust inside. They rode on horseback during the day and lit a bonfire in the evening to find a suitable camping site.

Sometimes, some lightly armed Nilfgaard soldiers appeared on the road, and once they found an abandoned refugee camp among the dead trees. Fortunately, the elf warlock was wearing travel clothes. The hood sewn on the shawl blocked most of her face, as well as the iconic ears, especially when she loosened the ornaments and let her slightly curly hair fall. She doesn't look much different from ordinary humans, and it won't cause any trouble. Since the squirrel party's commando team joined the battle sequence of the imperial army, northerners' hatred of the elves has increased a lot.

It is estimated that in this world, there is only a combination of a demon hunter and a warlock who can roam in the wild, travel through places affected by war, and easily deal with those hungry monsters and beasts. This is a difficult danger for many ordinary people, but it is not for them.

Since Francesca had the idea of ​​trading with Skyrim, Zelin often talked to her about some of his experiences in Skyrim along the way. Francesca himself has been to Skyrim, but due to the contradiction between Tamriel’s elves and the Empire and Nord, especially the storm cloak’s hatred of the elves, it is estimated that if the storm cloak wins the Skyrim Civil War, the elves imagine The plan is estimated to undergo substantial revision. At first, Francesca didn't have a clear awareness of the hatred of the Stormcloak and Tamriel, but after Zelin mentioned the Squirrel Party and humans, she immediately understood it.

This kind of leisurely situation continued until they approached the Yaluga River and were about to enter the south.
