The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Chapter 966 The Red-haired Xia Ni

In the north, in the Temple of the Meritelli Goddess under the Duke of Ailand, the snow in winter has long been unable to conceal the arrival of spring. The cold and snow remaining in winter are making their final struggle, but they will eventually dissipate in front of the unstoppable spring.

A pile of geese piled up in Nanica's church.

"Don't step on that pile of goose feathers, demon hunter, if you are bored, help put that pile of goose feathers into the bag."

The mother who was recording something under the statue of Meritelli said to the demon hunter who was standing aside in the temple and looking around.

Outside the gate of the temple, a trainee nun was busy driving back the chicken that ran out of the fence of the monastery, but when she threw forward she lost her balance and just knocked over a basket of vegetables. The hen cooed, picked up a leaf of greens, fluttered her wings and fled away. The forty-year-old mother looked away from the list and looked at the trainee nun who was getting up from the ground with her clothes dirty. The latter knew that he had made a mistake, put his hands together and lowered his head.

"Erned, never be impatient in doing things, and don't forget your own situation." The high-ranking priestess said to the trainee nun gently but not without seriousness. The baskets of greens in the yard were moved to the kitchen. I hope you can remember this lesson."

The apprentice nun bent down and bowed, and immediately trot to the storage room at the back of the monastery. The high priestess moved her gaze from Erneid to the demon hunter, "Your job is here, demon hunter, help me find that chicken?"

"That good boy is standing by the fence right now." Withdrawing the left hand that had just made the gesture of Yaxifahin, Zelin said to Nanika, "The first time I see you so busy here, I miss Nilfgard Wouldn't you come to besiege a monastery in the back?"

The demon hunter came to this monastery from Mahakam’s castle two days ago. He stayed in the monastery for two days, but he didn't get any useful revelation or clues.

"The lords want goose feathers." Nanika handed the list to the clerk who was waiting. The clerk with a feather inserted behind the hat took off the hat, bent over to salute the high priestess, and folded the list. , Immediately left the temple in a hurry "These are all good materials for making arrows."

"Ilander's people are preparing to defend the city?" Zelin pinched a goose feather. After a while, it will become an arrow feather on an arrow. "The front line is several days away from here."

"There are rumors that a decisive battle is about to be waged on the front line." In the courtyard of the temple, a nun took the hen controlled by Yaxie Fayin back to the fence in the backyard. On the other side of the temple is a garden, Nanni Kay walked into the garden with a kettle and watered the flowers and plants inside. "Many people are not optimistic about this decisive battle. They think King Foltest will lose, and the Nilfgard people will be here soon. Just like they did when they destroyed Aden and Livia. You stayed in the prayer room for two days, Zelin, I remember you are not a devout believer."

"Yes, I just thought I could get some enlightenment here." Zelin looked down at the unopened rose, which is not yet a bright red and beautiful flower. "But in fact there is nothing. I won't be here. Keep staying, and I will set off tomorrow to go to the south."

"Participate in the war?"

"Why do you say that? You know, demon hunters will not participate in any war."

"This is not a simple war, Zelin." Nanika moved her arm, and the drops of lavender began to moisturize the soil in the pots where the plantain was planted. "I have served the goddess Meritelli for almost 30 years. When I was a little girl, I was in the church’s monastery. This will be a turning point. The fate of many people will be changed by this war, and even the fate of the world, no one can stay out of it."

"You have started your long talk again." Zelin sighed.

"Don't rush to deny it, Demon Hunter." Nanika turned her attention from the flowers and plants to Zelin. In the north, maybe in the south, each of us has our own battle. This is our baptism of fire. Can’t you feel it? We are standing at the crossroads. The clerks will record this history. People will study it, study the history that is made up by each of us. I sent two of my best students. They are very good nurses who can save many soldiers who shouldn't have died behind the battlefield."

"So your decision changed the fate of many people?" Zelin raised his eyebrows. "It's lucky."

In the end, Zelin's conversation with the high-ranking priestess ceased with the arrival of a few guests, and accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, a carriage drove into the gate of the monastery. Two students dressed as students jumped out of the carriage. This was a carriage going south. They were passing by the monastery, hoping to take a break here. Zelin had a hunch when he saw the emblem of Osenfurt College on the carriage. After all the students in this line were down, he found that his hunch was quite right.

"Xia Ni, what a surprise. I didn't expect to meet you here."

Xia Ni, who wears a light green school uniform and has short red hair, is also in this pedestrian. This is a group of students from Osenfort College, who should be students of medical school. When the carriage curtain was raised, Zelin saw that there were many disassembled and folded medical instruments inside. During the operation, these medical students would tie the person to a platform, let them drink high-concentration alcohol, and then saw off the person's arms and legs. Zelin has always disliked this treatment.

"Oh, it's you! You are in the temple!?" After hearing the voice, Xia Ni widened her eyes in surprise. "I heard my classmate Ess say, didn't you go to Serekania?"

"For some reason, I came back again." Zelin glanced at the group of students. "I didn't see Latis?"

"The professor was in another team, and the cavalry team with us suddenly received an order to turn westward to support the Sidaris army in the battle against the front of Nivelgaard Verden, so we separated this morning. "

These students sat in the monastery to rest, and the priests of the church brought out some water and food in clay pots to give them.

"Are you leaving this afternoon? I'm also going to Marbury, just on the way."

"Are you going to participate in the war?" Xia Ni raised her eyebrows. "Did you come back for this reason?"

"No, I just went to Marbury to do something. Why do you think that?"

"What else is there now that has nothing to do with the war?" Xia Ni shrugged. "Well, in the afternoon, you can leave with our convoy. There is a person who can use a sword on the road. We feel safe. "

Chapter 967 The Devil's Contact

This is a team of students who responded to the call and went to the front line to support. Osenfurt has always had the tradition of treating the wounded in war, but before, they treated the wounded caused by the war between the northern countries, and this time, they participated in the battle as northerners.

After a series of major defeats, the northern kingdoms have never been united like they are now. Just five days ago, the queen mother of Redania and the assassinated queen Hedwig of Wizmir II Grid sent the most elite Royal Ridania Army to the southern front of Temalia to support the battle for Foltest.

Not long ago, in the face of the strong pressure from the empire, the northern countries finally chose to put aside their differences and established a military with Foltest as the core and the general commander of Tamoria John Natalis. Alliance. The Northern Allied Forces included the regular forces of Tamoria, Redania, Aden, Kodwin, Brugg, and Sidaris, as well as the partisans of Livia, the Verdon Rebels, the Sintra Volunteers, and Ma The Hakan Dwarf Legion and the Mercenary Freedom Legion funded by Kerviel, as well as Skelliger’s pirates.

After uniting, the number of coalition forces entering the front-line battlefield exceeded 200,000, and what they had to face were the three army groups commanded by Field Marshal Menor Kochlen of the Nifogarde Empire, the Eastern Army, the Central Army and Verdon's Front. It is a black army with a total of at least 300,000 people in the reserve team and the front-line troops.

"Do you know where Dandrien has been during this time?" The demon hunter was riding on the horse, parallel to the carriage, and Xia Ni was sitting in the carriage by the window, talking to Zelin from time to time, "I have had a while I haven't seen him or heard from him."

"The last time I saw him, it was in Tousent. He was writing a full-length poem." The evening air was still filled with chills, but compared with the biting frost of winter, it was already a lot warmer. "Ess still Planning your own drama in Osenfurt?"

"Ess is cooperating with the theater in Novigrad. But recently because of the war, no one is willing to go to the theater. Some people say that the Nifogardians are about to destroy Sidaris' army and directly attack Willen and Novi. Gray." It can be seen that these medical students don't have much relaxed expressions on their faces. This is not an outing, and the war is not a treat. The troops of the northern countries will not attack doctors when fighting, but in the past it was just a skirmish with only a few thousand people. No one has experienced a war of this scale, let alone. Said that Nilfgard’s army recently hanged hundreds of farmers in Verden just because they suspected that they might be related to the guerrillas.

As a result, the number of insurgents increased, and King Eris of Verdon, who surrendered to the empire, was assassinated by his dissatisfied subordinates.

"I hope we can all survive. After this war...oh, look at that!" Xia Ni raised her hand and pointed to the other side of the woodland. The torch, like a fire snake, walks through the woodland, and the cavalry seems to be rushing to other places. With the light of the torch, Zelin recognized the flag held by the cavalry at the forefront of the queue, which was the brown flag battalion of Kodwin, the most elite light cavalry under King Hensett.

"The Kodwin people have also sent reinforcements to Temoria?"

"You just came from Serekania. You definitely don't know the latest situation." Many students craned their necks to see the hussars clearly, and Xia Ni was no exception. She looked at the soldiers while facing Ze Lin explained, "To the south of the Ponta River, only Tamoria is left to resist the Nilfgaards, and the kings of the North to the south of the Ponta River, only Foltest is left. If this The war failed, and only a small part of the Dragon Mountain Range to the north bank of the Ponta River remained in the north."

Zelin squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the cavalry team that was going away, and couldn't help but shook his head.

Countless armies are coming in the spring, and they are marching to the front when the ice and snow melt. Not only Ailand, but also in Novigrad, in Osenfurt, in Skellig, in Martina, and even Ebbing, whether it is the Northern Alliance or the Southern Empire, there are a steady stream of reserve soldiers recruited in winter. To the battlefield.

In the south, in the wilderness of Martina, an old castle stands alone.

This castle has been so long that no one can trace when the castle was built. But there are still people who know the name of this castle. Stiga Castle, this castle by the stone lake has been occupied by a new owner. Wigwarts looked at the castle hall that had become somewhat empty, and his left index finger pointed nervously at the table top.

"Renes is dead."

Stephen Skellen said to Wigwarts, his nose was red and he was sneezing. He survived the battle on ice, but he suffered from this disease. The cold lake water in winter almost made him freeze to death. "Berhart is also dead. I saw the wild hunt appear and the girl hid Inside the tower."

"I see, thank you for telling me this, Mr. Skellen." Wigwarts' voice was as calm as ever, as if he hadn't noticed at all, and his subordinates had almost all died. The half-elf Qilus was killed by Geralt in Tousant, and both Burhart and Rains died in the Hundred Lakes area of ​​Ebin. Hearing Wigwarts' flat voice, Skellen couldn't help but shiver. "I hope your mercenaries can strengthen the castle's defenses. I think it won't be long before we will have new guests."

"Can you catch that girl?" Skellen asked.

"She's not in this world." Wigwarts' voice looked a little weird.

"She's dead?" the former royal coroner asked strangely.

"No, she is still alive. But I believe she will come back. I am ready to catch the swallow net and bait." Wigwarts turned his back to Skellen and walked to the table full of magical instruments. I don’t know what I’m doing. "If you can take the gold I gave you to hire an army, I’ll be very happy. Also, tell our friends in the Imperial City, I hope to be able to One day, I heard news of the emperor’s death."

Skellen didn't speak, he nodded slightly, turned and walked out of the hall.

After Skellen left the hall and closed the door, a man in a pale yellow shirt and light blue pants appeared in the hall. He suddenly appeared as if he had been standing here. His hair is short, almost like a bald head. There are not many ornaments on his body, only a shoulder bag, and a small cloth bag hanging on his neck.

"Hello, Wigwarts, do you want to listen to my proposal again? You seem to need help urgently."

"Gunt Odim." Wigwarts turned his head slightly and squinted at the man who appeared suddenly. "Do you think I would be stupid enough to deal with the devil?"

"You need help, I need favor." Gunter Odim's voice is low and very magnetic. "Getting what you need is a great deal."
