The Divine Hunter Chapter 22: Leave
, the fastest update to the latest chapter of God-level Demon Hunter!
Vizima Town Hall.
Virelade rubbed the scepter on the table and pondered for a long time, then took out a thin check from the drawer and wrote "600" in a swipe.
"Two master demon hunters," he handed the check to the bald man standing with his arms crossed, "this is the reward promised before. You two can take it and go to Zion Vanilli Bank around the world. With this cashier's check, I can withdraw 600 orens without any conditions."
The bald man glanced at the check and handed it to the "Financial Controller" Roy...
If you add the money from the Lady of the Lake's ring, their income on this trip has exceeded two thousand crowns. Of course, this money is still too little for their plot.
"Such a small piece of paper doesn't look very reliable, and ready-made gold crowns are more pleasing to the eye."
"Even if you two don't believe me, you should believe in Zion Vanelli's credibility. This time-honored bank that has been standing for hundreds of years will never embezzle your money!"
"Okay, no more joking. I will accept the money. When will Archmage Azar Javid come to open the door for us?"
"When the two of you returned to the city yesterday, I sent someone to notify the mage. He currently has an experiment in hand and won't be able to make time until tomorrow... Do you want to think about it again..." the mayor invited, "More than a week later, it will be the festival celebration of the summer solstice, and a grand event will be held in downtown Vizima. Why not stay for a while longer, and I can do my part as a landlord and take the two masters to appreciate the cultural scenery of Vizima ."
Roy was slightly moved. He also heard about the Summer Solstice Festival.
This festival takes place from the night of June 21st to the early morning of June 22nd. Marks the beginning of the first summer in the Elven Calendar.
Elves believe that everything under the sun is cyclical. After the winter solstice, the days get shorter and death begins, until the winter solstice.
On this day people will set up shrines to worship the sun and praise life, while acknowledging the coming of death.
Near these shrines, the spells cast by magic users by absorbing the energy of the sun are particularly strong, and witches use them to protect crops and summon fire.
Leso and Roy can also meditate in front of the temple to increase the strength of the seal a little bit.
However, the Summer Solstice Festival is not so attractive compared to the past May Day. After all, during the Summer Solstice, there are not so many single young girls dancing around the bonfire and courting mates.
"The demon hunter will not be here until the summer solstice, not to mention the time is tight. According to the original agreement, we will come back to you at this time tomorrow." The bald man shook his head and refused.
……
After the two left the city hall,
"Lesuo..." A trace of nervousness and anticipation flashed across the young man's young face, "How about we stay for another week and join in the fun?"
For the first dozen years of his life, Roy had been hiding in a sleepy little village in Lower Aden, and had never seen the bustling festivals of this world.
I only get more or less information from other people.
Would you like to take a look at Summer Solstice Festival?
Leso's steps slowed down a bit,
"Business means trouble. Past experience has told me countless times that this kind of festival for ordinary people is definitely not suitable for witchers. If you want to have fun, I recommend you to go to taverns and brothels. It is simple and convenient."
"You are now an official demon hunter and must learn to stay away from people and get used to being alone."
"Okay, what you said makes sense." Roy said helplessly, "But can it satisfy my curiosity?"
"There's no need for Vizima," the witcher said calmly, "You can go to Cintra to celebrate the festival. We can't keep Oaks and Seret waiting for too long."
Lesuo sounded helpless, as if thinking of some embarrassing past events, "If they wait any longer, they should find a woman to get married."
"It's here!"
A group of people suddenly walked up not far away, interrupting the discussion between the two. The leader was a heroic, tall and beautiful white-haired woman,
"Good day, Your Highness Yada, it seems that you have had a good couple of days."
Yada looked at the two demon hunters, and then smiled heartily, "To make a long story short, these two are the most responsible for getting rid of the monster in Lake Vizima this time."
"Your Highness is serious," Roy said without being humble or condescending. "Without you controlling the villagers who were bewitched by Dagan, the operation would not have been so smooth."
The eyes of the subordinates behind Yada softened a lot when they heard this.
"Don't be modest...your skills are the only ones I have seen in my life," Yada said with deep meaning, "I feel that if you two continue to wander around the country town, dealing with water ghosts and evil ghosts all day long, you will be overqualified... ”
"What do you mean?"
"Stay in Vizima! I promise I won't treat you badly."
Without waiting for Leisuo to answer, Roy shook his head and refused flatly, "I disappoint you, Your Highness. Unless he is too old to hold a steel sword, a demon hunter will not settle in one place."
He has no intention of becoming anyone's loyal partner.
A trace of anger flashed in Yada's eyes, and she turned to the bald man again, but was flatly rejected by the latter again.
"Very good, you are very good!" Yada gritted her silver teeth, her pretty face uncertain, and paced back and forth impatiently. The dozen or so knights behind her also held down their swords with unkind expressions - —As soon as she gives the order, the two demon hunters will be arrested immediately.
"That's it!" After a long time, Yada sighed, "You two have contributed to Vizima and insist on leaving. Out of justice, I will not force you to stay."
The princess suddenly looked at Roy with bright eyes, "Before you leave, can you grant me a small wish - take me to see the goddess of the lake? You also mentioned before that after Dagan is eliminated, the goddess will Take the initiative to summon."
"This is her purpose of recruiting us."
Roy suddenly realized that this woman who was addicted to **** for power and even dared to pretend to convey Foltest's will seemed to have turned her interest to gods.
"That's just a possibility. Now it seems that the goddess doesn't want to see you."
"No, Witcher, you must take me there!" Yada ordered with a stern voice,
Roy made a bitter face and said, "You think too highly of me. I am a mortal. If I want to see the goddess, I can only wait for her to take the initiative to summon me."
"Is there really no way, or does the Lady of the Lake not exist at all?" Yada said reluctantly, whispering nervously, "Meliteli, Lebi Alda, the Lady of the Lake, are they all fake... Is it fake?"
"Please be careful with your words, Your Highness."
As he spoke, Roy thought of the Lake Girl's behavior - taking away the faith from the evil god's altar.
There is no doubt that faith is extremely valuable to Vivian, the Lady of the Lake.
As a knight of Lake Vizima, why not help her?
"In fact, it is not completely impossible. But if you want to see the goddess, you must first show enough respect."
"What should I do?"
"Altar!" Roy paused, "Build an altar or a small temple to the Lake Goddess along the lakeshore. Let the villagers, brickmakers and fishermen who rely on Lake Vizima for their livelihood first go Dedicated to the Lady of the Lake."
With Princess Yada’s identity, this matter is not difficult.
"When the belief in the Lady of the Lake slowly expands, and she senses your sincerity, she will naturally summon you."
"If I do this, the goddess will show me a miracle?"
"I can't guarantee it," Roy said, "but a true **** will not ignore his devout believers. If you do, you will be the goddess's number one believer."
……
If the Lady of the Lake can absorb faith and become powerful, then as the "Knight of the Lake" taught by him, she will definitely be able to reap some benefits.
There was also a trace of curiosity in his heart - would this accidental behavior have an impact on the world of witchers?
This can be considered a test, and he has nothing to lose if it fails.
The young witcher drew such a blueprint to Yada,
"Imagine that a new faith and religion will develop with Lake Vizima as the center and radiate to the surrounding areas, and you will be the supreme high priest!"
"And as far as I know, there are only a dozen or so half-murlocs of the goddess of Lake Vizima so far. With a status as noble as yours, you can easily make contributions that far exceed that of a half-murloc."
A trace of confusion flashed in Yada's eyes, and she felt her mind was a little confused, "Witcher, you didn't lie to me?"
"Why should I offend a future high priest and princess of Temeria?" Roy's face was full of sincerity, and his dark golden eyes stared into hers.
"I will consider your suggestion." Yada said solemnly. She was a little flustered. She had to go back and evaluate the witcher's words.
It is really a crazy and outrageous act to spread the belief of the Lake Goddess on the shores of Lake Vizima!
If you do this, can you really see the Lady of the Lake?
She was anxious and looking forward to it.
"Nothing to do, let's leave first——" Before leaving, Roy suddenly turned around and glanced at the group of soldiers,
"Your Highness Yada, regarding the knight Jaques, Jaques of Aldeburgh, his whereabouts..."
"Jaques is still alive..." Yada smiled happily, "The lucky guy somehow escaped the pursuit of the fallen half-murloc and floated along the lake to Mud Village. We will **** the villagers. I rushed over and bumped into him!"
"But he is still recovering from his injuries. When he recovers, he will become a deputy commander under me."
Roy felt that that guy would not die easily and would definitely see him again in the future.
"Witcher, you haven't told me the name and image of the goddess. If you want to erect a statue in her stead, you must have a reference."
Roy briefly described the appearance of the goddess in the lake, "I can't describe her beauty in words. If you want, then set up an altar first. As for the name... you can call her Weiwei." Ann."
……
After bidding farewell to Yada, Roy returned to the hotel and studied the blood gem again for a long time, but unfortunately found nothing.
Roy reluctantly put the blood gem into the trophy package and placed it side by side with another piece of Blood of the Sun.
Although I still can’t figure out its purpose, the thing the Lady of the Lake specially emphasized is absolutely extraordinary.
……
The second day, City Hall.
At this time, in addition to Verelad, there was also a strange man with a sinister face.
He was probably in his fifties, wearing a dark-colored short-sleeved top, an exotic patterned scarf around his neck in the middle of the leather shoulder pads, and khaki tight leather pants.
He had a rough beard, and the weathered canvas hood wrapped his hair tightly, and it also crawled over half of his face, as if to cover some kind of wound.
He wore countless accessories all over his body. A talisman necklace was exposed on his scarf. He had a nose ring on his aquiline nose. His earlobes, which were much larger than ordinary people, were studded with earrings. Seven of his ten fingers were wearing Gemstone, or obsidian ring.
Of course, these accessories are not just for looks, they are all flowing with the light of magic, and they are obviously alchemy products blessed by magic.
"Aza Javed, two hundred and fifty years old, a native of Zerikan, a wizard and an alchemist. The amount of magic, well, is not inferior to that of coral..."
Roy's eyes turned around the man. He was a little confused about how such a slovenly and ugly alien could appear among wizards who always prided themselves on being elegant.
Is it just the nature of witches to love beauty?
"This is the Archmage Aza Javid, who I mentioned to you two, and is currently Vizima's royal advisor. Today he took the time to come here and open the portal for you two."
During Verelad's introduction, Aza nodded towards the two demon hunters.
Different from ordinary people's attitude of awe and disgust towards the witcher, his eyes were full of undisguised desire to explore, like a cold and sharp scalpel, wanting to cut the two people open from head to toe. , see clearly and thoroughly.
"Madman...scientific madman." This thought flashed through Roy's mind.
The Archmage's eyes are very wild, but his behavior is very measured, no nonsense, no unnecessary little moves.
"Witcher, I have set up two teleport points in Sintra, the Firetail Inn in the north of the city and a forest near the city gate. Which one do you choose?"
Surprisingly, unlike his sinister appearance, Aza's voice was unusually gentle and steady.
The two demon hunters exchanged glances and unanimously chose the Fire Tail Inn in the city.
"One more thing," Roy said hesitantly, "can the portal send our horses and two horses together?"
"Well, what did you say?" Aza nodded and shook his head violently, "Verelad clearly told me before that the client is two people. The spellcasting plan I prepared is also for the two of you."
"If there are two more huge animals, it will undoubtedly seriously affect the stability of the portal. At that time, what is waiting for you on the other side of the portal may be thousands of miles high in the sky, or a gushing volcano Mouth. Of course, you may also get lost in other planes."
"Uh..." The boy wiped away a cold sweat.
"Forget it, kid, just keep the horse...and buy it when you need it." Lei Suo said casually.
"No wonder you haven't been able to save money..." Roy shook his head, "It's too lavish!"
"If you two really can't bear to part with the horse, there is nothing you can do." Aza changed his voice and ended the quarrel between the demon hunters, "As long as you agree to one condition."
"Oh?" The demon hunter looked wary, "Tell me about it?"
"I need the blood of one of you. A small vial is enough."
Leso was about to refuse immediately, but Roy persuaded him.
Want blood?
He is full of evil spirits, water ghosts, and half-fish people. If you mix them all together, wouldn't it become the blood of a demon hunter? Aza is not yet an expert on witchers, and he can't tell.
And there is space, so it’s not too convenient to move around.
"Deal!" Roy shook hands with Azar Javed.
The transaction went surprisingly smoothly.
Master Aza could not see through the complex ingredients in the glass tube at a glance. He accepted the blood contentedly and recited a series of obscure and difficult-to-pronounce spells. Suddenly, a loud "rumbling" sound erupted in the room, and a square portal emerged from the air.
The center is shaped like a whirlpool, and the outer circle is shining with blue light. The strong wind is still blowing outwards, making the witcher's hair dance wildly. ~IndoMTL.com~Hurry, you only have thirty seconds. "Aza reminded with his legs spread apart and his fingers waving in mid-air like jellyfish while maintaining the spell-casting action.
Roy comforted Wilt and glanced inside the door,
"Lesuo, I heard this thing is disgusting?"
"Who told you? In fact, not only is it not disgusting, it is also very comfortable..." The bald man's muscles were tense and his expression was as if he was facing an enemy. "It feels like..."
Warm and thick hands gently hugged the young man's shoulders.
"Like what?"
"It's like... dying for once!"
"Ah——"
"迿——"
