The Divine Hunter Chapter 14: Extra people
"嗵嗵——"
The sound of rapid footsteps came from far away, and a burly figure emerged from the lush woods first, followed closely by the second, then the third...
When they were almost exhausted, the group finally escaped from the terrifying magnetic field.
After taking a few breaths, they rushed forward into the grass on the shore and collapsed on the wooden boat, as if heavy shackles had been removed.
At this time, the sky had broken, and the warm yellow morning light fell on the surface of Vizima Lake, dispersing the fog and bringing great encouragement to everyone.
"The weak state disappears."
Roy calmed down a little, put down the woman on his shoulder, and wiped away the hot sweat.
But Yada’s temples were stained with sweat, her face was faded, and she was no longer as high-spirited as she had been at the beginning.
"I...what's wrong with me?"
She recalled that she had been abnormal before, and her face was full of fear.
"Very good, it seems you are awake." The young demon hunter breathed a sigh of relief. He did not want the target he protected to be mentally disturbed. "Your Highness Yada, please listen to my opinions next time and don't insist on having your own way."
The number of soldiers present was reduced from more than 40 at the beginning to about 20, a full reduction of half, and they did not even see the real leader. It has to be said that it was a huge failure.
"Demon hunter, this time it was just an accident!" Yada said rather shamefully, "Because the investigation and preparation are not enough, when we come next time, the evil things in the altar will definitely let the evil things in the altar get ten times the profit. Give it back! In short, my people cannot die in vain!" After saying that, she faced the soldiers and began to give orders skillfully.
"Just rest for half a minute and set off, don't let the new group of fallen half-murlocs catch up!"
Suddenly, a young knight with a handsome face walked out of the crowd, "Your Highness Yada, the evil thing in the altar is too weird, and it has turned dozens of brothers alive into that disgusting thing."
"We can't let it continue to develop, otherwise the entire city of Vizima will be implicated!" A trace of determination flashed in the knight's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "The woods on the island are obviously its lair, so it's better to set fire to it. Burn it to the ground!"
"Attention!" echoed from the crowd, "Burn the woods and destroy the altar!"
"But there are still brothers inside," some soldiers retorted, "If we can still recover, won't we hurt innocent people by setting fire to it now?"
"There are no normal creatures in the woods, they are all evil monsters. They should all be purified with fire! This should be done from the beginning!"
Differences arose among the knights, and Yada touched her pointed chin, obviously moved.
"Demon hunters, based on your knowledge, is it possible for those 'fallen' knights to turn back into human bodies?"
"Fall is an irreversible change." The young demon hunter shook his head,
And Leisuo stretched out his hand to feel the wind direction and temperature, and observed the size of the woods,
"It will take a long time for this kind of weather to ignite the trees on the island, unless..."
"Unless someone stays," the black-haired knight who had made the suggestion at the beginning volunteered to stand up. His body was still shaking and he could not recover from the loss of strength. "Your Highness, let me burn down this sinful island... As long as Master Leisuo lends me an alchemy bomb."
"What's your name?"
"Jaques, Jaques of Aldeburgh..."
The black-haired knight had a resolute face and raised his right hand high, causing everyone's eyes to focus on him. Only then did Roy realize that the upper part of the ear of this green-faced black-haired knight was slightly swollen. sharp.
"Half-elf, no, this is a quarter-elf." Roy fell into deep thought. The name sounded familiar, but the information he observed was normal. He was just an ordinary knight.
Some of the soldiers suddenly realized,
"That's the new recruit who just joined White Rose."
“The guy who has been preaching the theory of hoarfrost doomsday.”
"Your courage is commendable, Knight Jaques, but did you know that if you stay behind, you will definitely die, and this may not be possible," Yada shook her head and stepped onto the canoe, "Don't make unnecessary sacrifices, and leave together. Right."
"Your Highness Yada, I have neither parents to support nor a wife or children to take care of. I only wish to avenge my dead colleagues and relieve Vizima of her worries... Please do it!"
Jaques suddenly knelt down on one knee, his young and handsome face full of determination and fearlessness,
The woman's face was moved, she pursed her red lips, and finally took a deep look at him,
"Jaques of Aldeburgh, since you have made up your mind, I approve your request!"
"Now, except him, everyone is boarding the ship and returning immediately!"
The Temerian princess finally patted the knight on the shoulder.
"Come back safely! I will promote you, I promise!"
Jaques stood up, took the torch and alchemy bomb from the demon hunter, and rushed towards the terrifying woods.
Roy stared at his back with a puzzled look on his face. Is there really such a selfless person in the world?
But there was no time to think anymore, as wooden boats quickly sailed away from Black Tern Island.
A quarter of an hour later, when they reached the middle of the lake, everyone discovered a strange fact - the corpses of more than two hundred fallen half-murlocs that were originally floating on the water had disappeared without a trace, and not even a trace of blood could be seen. .
"It won't be so clean if it is washed away by the lake."
"Fortunately, I want to cut off the ear of the fallen half-murloc and return it to Vizima to show his merit."
The knights couldn't hide their disappointment. This operation failed. Even though Princess Yada promised that they had no merit, how much merit did they have? After sacrificing so many brothers, he still has to face the accountability of Commander Rudolf when he returns.
And Yada looked at the island behind with a complicated expression. Every knight is Vizima's precious property, and she sacrificed too many because of her "willfulness",
She was unwilling and angry, but in the end she just sighed, "I have to settle down for a while from now on. That old guy will never indulge me endlessly again."
But no one can predict the future.
Soon, when they set foot on land again, billowing black smoke suddenly rose over Black Tern Island.
The originally dejected group of people suddenly exploded, and their moods went from the bottom of the valley to the sky.
"That brat actually succeeded!"
Yada’s face looked surprised and her lips trembled slightly,
"Very good, Jaques did not disappoint me!"
She turned around and glanced at the exhausted and thinner team, and said to a bearded middle-aged knight,
"Deputy Commander Powell, we are safe now. Let's count the number of soldiers. How many soldiers are left and how many have been sacrificed?"
"As you command, Your Highness."
The bearded knight heard the sound and stood under her, "Next, the knights and soldiers whose names are read will come out!"
"Glez."
"Arrived!"
"Ferguson."
"Arrived!"
……
"Cambernal."
"Arrived!"
"Weegee."
"..."
"Your Highness," the middle-aged knight said with a heavy face after a moment, "you have twenty-two soldiers left who can fight. We sacrificed... eleven White Rose Knights and fourteen Vizima There are twenty-five soldiers in the infantry regiment."
Yada took a deep breath, nodded lightly, and planned to say something to encourage the living and comfort the dead,
The bald demon hunter on the side suddenly interrupted her,
"Captain Powell, are you missing one person?" The thick arm pointed to the last corner of the crowd, "There is another person there. I noticed that he never opened his mouth from the beginning to the end."
In an instant, everyone present turned their eyes.
Just at the end of the team, a thin knight was isolated.
"Captain, I have never seen this colleague before."
A knight stared at the man suspiciously and said uncertainly,
"I know all the knights in the city, but I have no impression of this knight at all."
"Are you a new recruit who just joined the Vizima Infantry Regiment this year?"
Several voices in the team began to echo this statement.
"Soldier, raise your head higher!" The bearded man walked up to him with bright eyes, "State your name, age, and army number."
The thin man raised his head shyly.
He looks very young, less than twenty years old, with extremely ordinary facial features, a small nose and small eyes. He has the kind of appearance that will be completely ignored if you are in a crowd of people and you don't pay attention.
His lips moved a few times, but no sound came out.
The middle-aged knight could not help frowning when he saw his face clearly, and his tone became angry. "I have an impression of most recruits, but I have never met you!"
"Tell me, who are you?!"
Everyone was suddenly shocked. It was only after the battle was over that they discovered that an unknown person had entered the team. It was a great shame and humiliation.
Some people have doubts,
"Before, we set up a ship and sailed to Black Tern Island during the fallen half-murloc's sleeping time, but we were surrounded. Was it you who informed them in advance?!"
"Qiang——" A group of knights pulled out the long swords at their waists with unkind expressions on their faces.
Roy was very confused. During the observation, everything about this guy was normal, with no sign of corruption... And as a human, how could he communicate with the half-fish man?
It seems unreasonable that he is a traitor.
Under the gaze of everyone, the man spread his hands silently and shook his head calmly, indicating that he had no ill intentions.
Then his eyes turned to the young demon hunter who was observing, and he raised his fingers at him——
"Galajiwa..."
For a moment, the soldiers, demon hunters, and Princess Yada were all stunned!
Why do humans make such weird noises, like a half-fish man?
The instigator took advantage of everyone's daze and ran away, rushing towards the swamps in the lake area.
"Asshole, catch him!"
"He is a traitor and a traitor!"
A group of people chased him crazily, but the weirdo ran very fast. With a few breaths of lightning, he pulled the pursuer down a long way.
And the distance is still expanding rapidly. Except for the two demon hunters, no one can keep up with him.
"Is this guy a human? He can run faster than a horse."
"Stop chasing, be careful of fraud! Everyone go back and protect Princess Yada, you, and you, follow me!"
……
The strange man's footsteps were too fast, and the witcher chased him straight into the vast hinterland of the swamp in the Lake Vizima area.
No warning.
A heavy fog suddenly surged around, and the visibility became extremely low in just a moment. Roy in the fog suddenly lost contact with Lei Suo.
He carefully set up a Quen seal, with a crossbow in one hand and a sword in the other, with dark gold pupils wandering around.
A figure suddenly flashed through the thick fog not far away - the knight who had escaped before!
Roy followed!
Intense chase, five minutes later.
The fake knight led him all the way to the east bank of Lake Vizima, and rushed into the lake. He suddenly stopped and bowed very reverently towards the clear lake water.
There was a sudden change of light and shadow in front of Roy. In an instant, the thin man in chainmail disappeared miraculously. What reappeared in front of him was a short half-murloc man wearing a rufous reddish-brown cloak.
He is slightly hunched, with two long white beards growing around his mouth, and the eyelids on his bulging eyes are white, giving him a rather benevolent look.
And in those deep eyes, there was no trace of the viciousness of the fallen half-murloc, but instead shone with the light of wisdom.

……
Fallen half-murloc, half-murloc, the altar on Black Tern Island, the Lady of the Lake...
Countless thoughts intertwined in the demon hunter's mind, and he suddenly realized it——
"You have not fallen into... a normal half-fish man?"
The half-murloc man folded his slimy webbed fingers on his chest and saluted him.
"Garu... the room is wow... Chaco" (Don't be nervous, Qike has no ill intentions.)
Roy was 100% sure that he had never learned the language of the half-murloc. Every word that came out of its mouth was very unfamiliar, but surprisingly he could understand the meaning.
This is probably the effect of spiritual link.
"Sir Qike, you must give me an explanation -" the young demon hunter retracted his weapon, "Why did you sneak into the knight's team and lure me here?"
Qike stroked his two white beards,
(As early as half a month ago, I received the revelation from the goddess that there will be a team to fight against the fallen. I sneaked into your team to help.)
(Otherwise, except for you and the bald witcher, everyone else on Black Tern Island would have been transformed...)
Roy nodded and asked again,
"Goddess? Is it the **** you believe in?"
(Goddess of the Lake)
The young demon hunter was convinced, "You mean, besides the evil things enshrined in the altar, there is another owner in Lake Vizima, the Lady of the Lake?"
The half-murloc nodded,
(My compatriots originally believed in the noble lady Vivian.)
"But I clearly remember that the Lady of the Lake lives in Lake Salavi in Toussaint?"
The fish-man hermit suddenly narrowed his eyes and waved his right webbed hand into the air. His slender beard trembled and seemed a little excited.
(The goddess was born in water. She has many sisters. Wherever the lake ripples, the goddess’s brilliance shines.)
"So Lake Vizima was originally the territory of the goddess," Roy's eyes shot out with a gleam of light, "later it was invaded by the creatures in the altar?"
The half-fish man suddenly waved his flippers with excitement,
(The evil creature couldn't help but steal the goddess's territory, bewitched my compatriots, and destroyed my tribe. Now there are less than ten normal half-fish people left!)
"I see, the hatred of the dead clan... So if you come to me this time, do you have a way to deal with it?"
"Uru!"
"But why me, an unknown member of the Viper School? Lei Suo's skill far exceeds mine, and the power that Her Highness Yada controls is beyond my reach."
The half-fish man looked at him solemnly.
(You did not appear in the goddess’s revelation. You are an anomaly who broke into the crusade. At first, I was just out of curiosity and secretly followed Black Tern Island to see what step you could take."
(But then I got instructions from the goddess that there was a special person in the team——)
The half-murloc clasped his hands on his chest and looked at the young demon hunter with recognition in his eyes,
(You~IndoMTL.com~Roy, the demon hunter of the Viper School, has met a series of demanding conditions through his experiences in the past year.)
The half-murloc hermit pointed his stubby, carrot-like webbed fingers toward the clear lake water,
(Go, the goddess is waiting for you in the lake, and she will tell you everything else in person... This is both a gift and a test, it is all up to you...)
After saying that, the half-murloc stranger waved his webbed goodbye, then somersaulted into Lake Vizima and disappeared without a trace.
A trace of hesitation flashed across Roy's face.
"Could it be——"
He had a guess about what was going to happen next, and there was really no reason to refuse such an opportunity, so he walked steadily towards the lake.
