The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"A group of Derfant mages opened the rift in the shadow world?"

"It's crazy, but it's not impossible." Cassandra snorted. "In the past, the Magisters of the Gudfant Empire used blood magic to tear apart the shadow barrier, which eventually led to the first outbreak of the plague. They were right again. It's just a matter of time before the shadow barrier starts."

"No, this is not entirely correct. Venadoli is also called a cult by many people in Defante." Dorian on the side retorted, "We also have a lot of people opposed to them."

"It's not important. What's important is that you can be sure that Venador is related to the assassination of the Pope?" Leliana asked. The evidence is announced to the church together!"

"The one who opened the rift must be the one who assassinated the pope. I don't think I need to explain this." Zelin spread his hands. They stood by the dock and looked at the castle in the distance. "You also saw the rift in Chiyan Village. These The Dervants who opened the rift were hiding in the castle on the other side. They blew up the bridge. We only need to catch them to know what's going on."

Zelin understood Leliana's impatience. Pope Justinia V had been her mentor and took her in when she was in trouble. But the demon hunter will not be much calmer than her. This is the best opportunity. He must find a way to kill all the enemies hiding in the castle. It's just that the hunter's hundreds of years of hunting experience told him that the more difficult the enemy is, the more calm he must be.

"This means that we are going to attack a castle." Lavilland folded his arms and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Cassandra, how many of us do we have?"

"The key is not how many people we have, but how many people there are." The seeker left his head. "By tomorrow night, a 300-man troop behind us will be able to keep up. There are some Templar knights nearby. I can. Order them to assist us in the fight, and if these Devantes did participate in the assassination of the Pope, we must capture them."

"Please... wait a minute, there are still some wizards inside." The chief wizard behind hesitated for a long time before stepping up. "They may have escaped into the castle because of fear. I hope I can persuade them and tell them that they are being treated badly. The Fantes cheated, please don't kill them."

"This is not a child's play, chief wizard, how do we know if they were cheated or voluntarily joined the Devant?"

"It's Vinador, they don't represent Devant." Dorian corrected from the side.

"Our representative sent us a letter saying that you are willing to help us?" Cassandra glanced at Dorian, then set his sights on Fiona again. Fiona's eyes calmly glanced at Zelin, and Zelin nodded slightly.

"Yes, we are willing." Fiona bent slightly, and her assistant Kopaniya bowed to the seeker. "We are willing to assist the Trial Order, as long as the Trial Order can give us fair treatment. Your representative said, you Will not treat us like the church and the Knights Templar."

Before Cassandra and Leliana could say anything, Lavillan said, "Yes, we welcome you to join us. We are going to attack the castle. Your spells will help us at this time, right. Right?"

"Yes, I understand the structure of that castle, and how many Derfant soldiers and wizards are in it." Fiona quickly replied. As a member of the church in the past, and even a member of the Knights Templar, Cassandra didn't have much good face towards these apostates. But Lavilan is different. Not only is she a Dashley, she is not interested in everything about the church, but she is also an elf. Although the city elves are different from the Dashley wild elves in all aspects, they must be Better than humans.

"Thank you, Ar-uyth." Fiona bent over again, and Zelin heard the chief wizard let out a sigh of relief.

"Next, let's clean up the ruins of Chiyan Village, Lelianna, you send some scouts to scout outside the castle. I need to know what Vinadori is preparing to do. Harding, you go and ask Cullen, can we? Put some planks on the broken bridge to let our soldiers attack." Lavilland began to say to the others, "Fiona, you integrate the wizards. I need to know how many wizards can participate in the next attack. Sandra, you must summon the Templars as much as possible. They are experts in fighting blood magic, and we will need their help."

Cassandra sighed, but did not speak against Lavilland's decision. After a while, Lavilland became more and more like a leader, as if she knew what to do by nature.

"No problem, let's do it now."

The first thousand one hundred and twenty chapters motivation and ambition

"I am very happy to be able to have a group of wizards to help us after coming to Red Cliff, instead of facing the hostility of the entire wizard group."

The villagers in Chiyan Village have been evacuated, and the Judicial Mission camp at the southern crossroads will temporarily take them in. Now in the village that has been burned for most of the time, only the sound of the armor shaking from the soldiers when they are running can be heard. Zelin and Lavilan were walking on the slab-paved pier road. Dried blood can still be seen nearby. The chaos resulted in the death of 27 mages and the injury of three times this number.

"Part of it is luck, but if we can come here earlier, maybe that quarter of the mages will not be our enemy."

The wharf is very deserted here, and since the apostate mage entered here, the ships on the river are no longer willing to come to Red Cliff. Most of the fishermen’s fishing boats were burned in the previous chaos. The Tribunal is considering how to repair the stone bridge leading to the castle above, so there is no one here. Only a few flying birds that came from nowhere flew over their heads, bringing up a melodious call.

"Can any of us guess that they will act on these apostates taking refuge in Red Cliff." Lavilland shrugged. "Like no one of us can guess, the king of seekers will betray the church, do you I found one thing in common. If we assume that the Knights Templar and the Apostate Mage are corrupted, the person behind the scenes is the one we are looking for. His purpose is not to destroy the Knights Templar and the Mage, but to control them."

"So, we can infer..." Zelin frowned slightly, and the oncoming river breeze brought a cool breeze. "He is forming an army?"

"Cassandra thought it might be the invasion by the Defantes, but your Defantian friend denied it. He said that the imperial kingdom is continuously fighting with the Kunari in the north and there is no time for him to take care of it." Lan cocked his mouth and looked thoughtful. "On this matter, I believe Dorian is right. The Derfans are the only ones on the continent who have not signed an armistice agreement with the Kunari after the Northern Jihad. Country, it’s impossible to start a two-front war, even if it is to get a part of the Templars and wizards to join the army. Dorian’s family is a member of the Magisters’ Council. Since he is helping us in this regard, the credibility of his words Very high."

"So, what do you think about this?" Zelin looked at Lavilan with interest, while the Dashley Elf lowered his eyes slightly.

"I guess someone tried to throw this continent into chaos, sabotage the peace conference, and corrupt the church and wizards. The identity of that person is probably hidden in the Devant kingdom." Lavilan nodded slightly. "I believe Dorian's words. , This is not the meaning of the Devant Empire, but I suspect that this is a ghost made by the Defantes. Our investigation target is still to be placed on the Defantes... Ah, sorry, I definitely did not doubt your meaning ."

"Don't mind, I don't have any feelings for Devant." Zelin shook his head indifferently, and moved his somewhat stiff neck. "You continue."

"My plan is like this." Lavilland stretched out a finger. "You have bankrupted the enemy's conspiracy to take the Knights Templar." According to the plan of the wizard group, they have lost two powers. On this continent, there is only one independent military organization left." Then there is the third ring finger, "Grey-robed guardians. Now, the gray-robed guardians are all missing." , Lelianna said, you are also investigating the guardian of the gray robe, have you found anything?"

"Not yet." Zelin shook his head. "But the Guardians should be assembled in the Oles Empire. I don't understand. They are an organization against the Darkborn Army. They have existed for several epochs. Who can corrupt them like this? ?"

"I hope this is just a guess." Lavilan sullied. "First of all, we have to close the crack in the sky. No matter what the person who opens the crack is, closing the crack will definitely affect the enemy's plan. Let's take this one first. The castle, Fiona’s chief wizard told me that there are probably more than a hundred Dervants left in the castle, including many wizards. The nearby Templars can arrive this afternoon, and we will start the attack tomorrow morning. "

"Get the apostate mage and the Templars together, aren't you afraid of something wrong?"

"Of course no problem, just let them listen to me."

"You really are more and more like a leader, Lavilland."

"Is this a compliment?"

"Of course, what's the meaning of this."

Lavilan walked to the side of the unbroken fence at the pier, leaned down, propped his upper body on the fence, and looked at the calm flowing river in front of him.

"I think I should do something, not just stay in our tribe. Unfortunately, I am not a mage. If I have the talent to cast spells, I will definitely become an apprentice to the elder. But this time, the elder wants someone I was able to leave the tribe and come to the peace conference to listen to the news, so I was the only one in the tribe who came here voluntarily. I think I should do this. You know what happened later. I thought I was dead, but it turned out to be In this case, maybe Miso is protecting me? Although it is inexplicably responsible for closing the cracks in the sky, only I can do this."

Lavilland frowned with a smile, and the ornamentation on her forehead that represented the spirit **** was particularly conspicuous.

"I used to know someone who was similar to you. She was inexplicably assigned a very important responsibility, but she didn't like that kind of life, so she left after completing her responsibilities."

"Leave? Why?" Lavilland raised his eyebrows. "I did so much, but left? I don't understand. I plan to do something. I leave the tribe, just want to change a creature, not hunting all day long. Fishing, riding a Hara deer and running on the hills, uh, I’m not saying that the tribe’s life is not good, but if a kind of life connection continues for more than 20 years, it may be like this for the next 100 years. Everyone will feel disappointed. I want to come out and see if I can do something else."

"You have done a lot of things now. The messenger of Androst, the spiritual leader of the Judgment Order... I feel that you may be more suitable as a judge."

"I want to do something instead of spending time in a cookie-cutter life all day." Lavilland moved her shoulders, as if she was just thinking that she would spend her entire life in hunting and field travel all day. I feel itchy shoulders. "If the elder hears me like this, he will surely punish me to give Aetherton who takes care of the Hara Deer."

"You stay here now, known as Androst's messenger. Then how do you plan to tell your tribe about this?"

"I stayed voluntarily. They may not believe it, but as long as I can tell them, they will still support me. The elder is very serious, but if one of us makes a decision, she will still support it."

Some ambitions are a good thing. If Zelin didn't have any ambitions, he wouldn't do anything that seemed almost impossible at the time-revival of the Demon Hunter Academy. Lavilland is willing to take on more responsibilities and is willing to do more things. If this organization needs a leader, she is undoubtedly very suitable.

"I guess other people might not want to do this, because I'm an elf." Lavilland raised the hand marked with the crack and clenched it into a fist. "I will prove that I am no worse than any human being."

"Be careful with your hands. In the Val Imperial City, the demon wanted to control your spirit, but this time, the Magister Alex also wanted to approach you. I suspect they are all for the imprint on your hand. Come."

"If this is the case, I do have a plan to enter the castle without using force..." Lavilland pondered for a moment. "Maybe we can solve this problem more easily."

"Do you have any good plans? I used to wonder if Cassandra would put too much pressure on you because of the crack in the sky." Zelin waved his hand, and the castle in the distance was still silent. "I am now Sure, you enjoy life today and what you are doing."

"Why not?" Lavilland raised the corners of her mouth, tapping the fence lightly with her fingers. "I'm pretty sure we are doing the right thing. We will be able to defeat the enemy who ripped the sky and close the cracks in the sky, and you Will help me. What reason do I feel dissatisfied and unhappy? How do you feel? For the Judgment Order?"

"Very good, the scale is still expanding. I hope that when the scale is larger in the future, the current situation can still be maintained." Zelin clasped his arms. This trial order was established in a difficult situation. These people were originally The goal is to defeat the demons and close the rift in the sky. More and more people are willing to join or support them. The Demon Hunter has been to so many worlds, it is the first time that he can see how an organization has risen from scratch. The only similarity is the process of Ezio rebuilding the Brotherhood.

"I believe we will never end up decayed like the Templars and Seekers."

Suddenly, the elf's gaze crossed the shoulders of the demon hunter and looked towards the entrance of the red cliff in the distance. Zelin turned around, and saw a group of heavily armed knights riding through the city gate in the direction of the Red Cliff city wall in the distance. More than 30 horses walked together and raised a dust. Some mages nearby were hiding by the houses on both sides of the village road, watching carefully among the knights entering the Red Cliff. Among the eyes from the window, there was no lack of fear and hostility.

"Look, these Templars are coming sooner than we expected." In Lavilan's tone, there is not much joy at the arrival of the Templars. "Let's go and discuss the next attack plan."

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty One: Beginning of the Talks

When the soldiers led by Kulun arrived, they quickly built a simple bridge made of wooden planks on the stone bridge. The soldiers were not attacked from the castle. In fact, if the castle hadn't been built on a cliff and there was no other way to go, they might have thought that the Devants inside had escaped by night. There is no teleportation on the continent of Saidas. Their magic is based on the shadow world, and has completely two different magic systems from the Demon Hunter World. Their magic is more used in combat and enchanting.

Lavilland put forward his plan in subsequent discussions.
