The Divine Hunter Chapter 5: Heshan
, the fastest update to the latest chapter of God-level Demon Hunter!
Everyone stayed in the lake bottom laboratory for two days.
During this period, the sorceress drew countless tubes of blood from the bald man, almost rendering him anemic. Repeated observations and tests confirmed that Lei Suo was in good condition and had a perfect mutation effect.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Rita Nied then sealed the portal from the bottom of the lake to the interior of the laboratory, and re-established a portal connecting Novigrad.
Due to her cleanliness, everyone worked together to clean the huge laboratory, clear away the garbage, rearrange the layout of each area, and place books, experimental equipment, and daily necessities neatly in categories, giving the entire space a brand new look.
This secret chamber under the lake finally bore the mark of the Witcher Brotherhood, but they did not stay long.
In order to continue to explore the whereabouts of the Griffin sect demon hunter Geron Moru, everyone stepped into Heshan, the second space coordinate established by Oaks in Toussaint.
……
Eastern Beauclair, between Barshan Castle and Usal Castle.
The sun rises to the center of the sky, and the green Beauclair oak trees on the top of Heshan Mountain and a circle of ancient stone walls reflect golden light.
This wall was originally built by men sent by Duke Roger the "Player" to prevent barbarian invasions.
But in fact, there were no so-called barbarians near Heshan, or even in the entire Toussaint. In the end, Duke Roger simply built a castle in the center of the wall and locked himself up for his own entertainment.
Because it was so old, Heshan Castle changed owners several times, from nobles to bandits and robbers... and finally turned into a deserted ruin.
Most of the buildings are still well preserved.
When everyone got out of the portal and stood in front of the iron gate of the castle, the surroundings were quiet. They could only hear the autumn wind blowing, the sounds of rhododendrons and rose bushes swaying and dancing along the walls, and the birds on the high walls. The ones above chirped.
"The appearance is too poor...far inferior to Kaer Morhen," Eskar entered the castle along the road paved with sand. Looking around, no matter the height or number of towers, they were all different from his home. Very far.
"Come on, man, this is not a lake bottom laboratory. We don't need to take it as our own." Keyan waved his hand and followed Roy straight to the interior of the castle, the central tower, which was heading underground. Spreading ladder ridge,
"Just sweep it away!"
……
Roy went down the dusty old stone stairs of the tower and went straight to the deep and dark basement.
The road was deserted, and the valuables had been removed by the bandits who visited.
Up to the bottom of the stairs, in front of a closed secret door, he easily found a hidden and small mechanism on the side of the door. With a twist, the entire basement suddenly shook, and a continuous muffled sound of "娇訇" was made. The stone door slowly Slowly retract into the left wall.
This secret door has not been activated for a long time, and the sand and dust that fell on the door beam were as dense as rain, showering everyone's heads and faces.
The sorceress's makeup instantly turned pale, she wrinkled her nose in displeasure, and snapped her fingers. A breeze blew over her body and the body of the demon hunter beside her, brushing away the dust on their clothes and skin. The two of them transformed again. Gotta freshen up,
"Hey, Ms. Rita, you can't always be partial, give me some air too!"
"Either fireball or shut up this stinky mouth!" Her raised red lips revealed a sarcastic arc. Coral put down her harsh words, took Roy's arm and swayed into the dark corridor.
"Man, I advise you not to provoke her..." Eskar patted him on the shoulder and said in an experienced tone, "Can't you tell after so long, Ms. Rita likes to show her love in front of outsiders? . This is her...um...unique hobby."
"According to my experience, couples who often show off like this will end up miserable in the end." Kiyaen's scarlet pupils flashed with the light of wisdom.
Then a slight hum sent shivers down his spine.
"You don't want to treat your burn?"
……
Roy took the lead and galloped down the dark corridor. Soon after, he found a large number of ancient books from a wooden box at the corner - almost all of them were related to demon hunters or golems.
For example, "The Golem, Man's Most Faithful Servant", "The Witcher: Not as Evil as You Think"... Rita Nied smiled and accepted them all. Now, she was sure of transforming the gargoyle. bigger.
In addition, there is also an article "The Diary of Thomas Moreu" hidden in the alley.
Keen raised his face nervously. He was worried about any mention of Jaylon's death.
"On September 12, 1121, I have determined that Jielong was deceived and is currently living in Usarburg..."
The entire diary roughly describes Thomas's conspiracy, deliberately setting up a lucrative commission to lure his own demon hunter son here, pretending to be negotiating, but actually using magic to paralyze him and imprison him in an underground prison.
Teleported him back to the lake bottom laboratory and forced him to undergo a reversal experiment.
"Thomas Moreu, you old scumbag, even plotted against his own son."
Roy sighed.
Obviously, Geron Moru does not want to become a normal person at all, but his wizard father Thomas Moru is wholeheartedly thinking - "I am doing it for your own good."
Not far behind the wooden box is another crystal in a garland of green leaves. After Roy used Alder to activate it, a portal was revealed, leading to the place where Thomas imprisoned Jeron for the first time.
The sorceress, Roy, Cohen, and Leisuo came in one after another to search.
The rest of the people really couldn't bear the nausea and discomfort of frequent teleportation, so they decided to stay outside the gate and watch.
……
As soon as the four of them landed, they immediately received a "warm welcome" from the previous owner.
Dark basement corner.
A hill-like guard demon suddenly stood up, waving its two arms like a rowing boat, and rushed towards everyone.
The heavy attack comes with whistling wind and huge inertia, making its posture look very clumsy and slow, but its power is amazing!
The bald man grinned, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, and quickly drew the Kunen shield. He drew out the two swords from behind and faced it. Unexpectedly, he did not do any dodge and collided with the demon head-on.
"Bang!"
Metal and rock collide!
A brilliant spark burst out in mid-air!
The whole space shook violently, but the flesh and blood body of the bald man was as steady as a rock. The two swords crossed upward like shields, blocking the dark and heavy arms of the main demon.
The amber pupils looked into the golem’s dark eyes.
"Bang!"
Cohen's hands worked seamlessly together to draw the Seal of Alder, and slammed the right side of the golem. The thrust of the double seals of the Griffin School was extraordinary. Even the golem weighing in tons was pushed involuntarily and moved sideways. Two steps.
At the same time, the amulet on the chest of the sorceress who had been guarding in the distance shed a magical light, and a smooth oil stain suddenly appeared on the ground in the direction of the golem's movement.
This move has been tried and tested against the powerful but clumsy and heavy opponent. The golem immediately slipped under its feet and fell to the ground quite comically!
"Bang!" Thick dust rose up, and the ground shook suddenly.
In an instant, the dark secret room was illuminated by colorful magic spirits!
The sorceress threw the ice pick wildly, freezing the golem's sluggish body.
Cohen kept bombarding it with Alder, pinning it to the ground.
And Roy summoned lightning with his left hand to apply a paralysis attack, and Gabriel shot continuously with his right hand!
The bald man charged at the front, his body as strong as a bear doing an explosive dance. His two swords rotated and launched continuous blows, scratching the stone skin with holes. The golem's flailing arms failed to touch him. A hair on my head.
Fifteen seconds later.
"Pfft..."
"Kill the golem guard, experience +50..."
Roy curled his lips. Without soul, it is cheap.
The sorceress waved her hand, and the core of the golem and the elemental fragments all flew into her space bag... When she figured out the principle, soon, the Brotherhood would get a second guard besides the gargoyle.
……
Continue walking up a flight of stairs.
The four of them entered a room that was much simpler than the secret room at the bottom of the lake...
Except for a few wooden boxes and shelves that were rotten by insects, there were almost no decorations or alchemy instruments.
Even the place for people to rest, there was only a rancid brown floor.
In the dark corners, bones of mice, lizards and other small animals piled up in mountains.
There is no doubt that no matter who is locked up in such a place for a long time, it is a kind of cruel torture. In the end, he will either die of hunger or thirst, or die of madness.
The four of them exchanged glances, and quickly worked together to search the small place, and then acquired three blueprints of the Griffin School's armor, trousers, and silver sword.
But it is different from the six blueprints of the Griffin Faction that Geralt and Kyaan collected in Velen.
"High-end goods..." Leisuo looked at the drawings with admiration in his eyes, "It can be regarded as an upgraded version of the gryphon sect blueprint from last time. The forging process is more complex and exquisite, and the finished product is better than most of the equipment we have...I I guarantee that Vesemir will go crazy for them!"
"This is more than just a blueprint." Roy turned over the blueprint of the Griffin Sect's silver sword in front of everyone, and dense words were revealed on the back of the blueprint——
"The paralysis spell faded, and I also accepted the terrible reversal experiment. But the portal was still closed... I was plotted by that old guy, and most of the equipment was left in Fort Uthal without any equipment. , I can't escape at all. I will definitely die here."
"You take away my weapon, my last love for you, even this letter, I can only write on the back of the drawing. But before I die, I want to tell you——"
The handwriting is trembling and penetrates the back of the paper, showing the extreme anger of the person writing it.
"You are a paranoid lunatic who never listens to what others are saying! You are a cruel and cold-blooded killer who has hurt countless poor people! I have no feelings for you at all, only hatred! I hope one day you will Pay the price for the numerous crimes you have committed!"
The note ends here.
The witchers and sorceresses were lost in their thoughts and were speechless for a while.
"Even my own son hates and curses this guy so much..." Leisuo shook his head, "It seems that what Kyaan said was right at the beginning, Thomas is an extremely egoistic person."
"This series of research is not so much to restore Jielong to normal, but to relieve his unwillingness and obsession!" Roy nodded with deep understanding.
"The question is...where did Jaylon go?" But Cohen looked around uneasily. There was no corpse of Jaylon in the laboratory at the bottom of the lake, and there were also no remains in this simple house, not even the Griffin sect's body. The pendant is not there either. "In Thomas Moreu's crystal image, he only said that he went back to look for his...Lydia, who should be his wife, in despair. But he did not explain the whereabouts of his son at all."
"Jay Long only left this 'suicide note' filled with resentment."
"The way we came in is obviously a one-way passage...the portal must be opened from the outside..." Rita Nied stroked her pointed chin and turned her eyes, "If it were an ordinary person, he would be locked in here. , you can only be imprisoned until death."
"Have you forgotten?" Roy put forward another point of view, "Gryphon sect demon hunters are different from other schools - a large proportion of them are innate magic sources..."
"And Jaylon's biological father is a mage, which is more likely. Maybe he mastered the portal spell and escaped with it!"
"If Jielong had the ability to escape...why did he write such a desperate note and not take away these three drawings?" Lei Suo's continuous questioning brought the question into a dead end.
No one can give any other answer.
At this time, Roy remembered a strange thing described by Knight Grim at the Sintra Market a few days ago——
"Five years ago, on the day I was clearing out bandits in Heshan, a man with amber vertical eyes, a griffin pendant around his neck, and clothes as ragged as a beggar rushed out of the basement of the ruins, as fast as running. Horse. He looked crazy, like a madman, and rushed into the wilderness and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Later I searched all around Heshan, and that guy seemed to have disappeared. ”
……
Could this madman be Geron Moru, another survivor of the Griffin faction, who escaped from the basement?
……
"If you want to know the answer to everything, you can only ask Jaylon himself. To find out his whereabouts, first we make a hypothesis." Roy walked around the simple prison and analyzed in a deep voice, "If we are Jaylon Long, luckily escaped from prison...My most urgent wish, what is the first thing I do?"
"Get revenge on Thomas Geron!" Letho said.
"No... at the end of Jaylon's note, he just wants Thomas to be punished..." The sorceress spoke softly but firmly, and unconsciously twirled her nails on Roy's arm, "Compared to revenge, I guess he is more interested in revenge. Tends to stay away from Toussaint, stay away from his demonic father, just like your mantra, let fate punish him!"
"Except for the mentally disturbed Bear Faction and Cat Faction, the biggest bond in the hearts of demon hunters from other schools is not their former relatives, but the academy and their mentors...Kaer Siren and the Grand Master of Elam." Cohen said. He said ~IndoMTL.com~ and frowned, "But I have never heard Teacher Kelda mention Jielong's name... His name is not on the more than sixty tombstones."
Roy and Leisuo were equally silent.
Ask yourself, if they escape the dark cage, they will definitely return to their "home" to visit their old friends and mentors, but Cohen's statement almost denies this.
……
"Kel Siren has been turned into ruins, and nothing can be asked..." Roy paused, "We can only assume that Jeron returned to Toussaint and found his father..."
"So, our next step is to go back to Beauclair in Toussaint and find Thomas Moreu."
"Do you know his whereabouts?" Cohen asked, then clapped his mouth.
Roy smiled.
"It's time to go."
Thomas Morew's final destination is in his mind, just like the Valley of the Nine and the prison at the bottom of Heshan Mountain.
