The Divine Hunter Chapter 20: Magic Bottle and Dijing
Roy and Geralt searched the entire room again. Except for a pile of animal skulls and leg bones, there were no human bones or special clues.
The two of them walked around the entire second floor full of doubts. It was surprisingly empty.
"To be honest, I have never seen such a simple Witcher Academy." Geralt looked around the empty corridor and couldn't help but complain in a magnetic bass, "Even if it's Kaer Morhen, at least There are also a few decent beds and portraits of seniors."
"Except for a few walls, what is the difference between this place and the outside?"
"Bear sect demon hunters have weak emotions and don't need those so-called souvenirs."
Roy could only explain it this way.
Then the two met with Reso, Lambert, and Aiden in the basement of another tower. The three of them did not encounter polypods or other monsters.
But there is something else to gain.
The dim firelight in the basement revealed a pile of strange-shaped metal cans, as well as glass containers and infusion furnaces for storing mutants... It was exactly the place Jeroen saw in his dream.
"They are all instruments from the Green Grass Trial... It turns out that this place once belonged to a demon hunter." Leisuo rubbed his palm across the rough surface of the furnace and felt a row of rust, "It's just that most of the instruments have been neglected. , it has not been used for at least more than ten years."
"Mutants are preserved longer...the effect is almost worn away by time."
Everyone couldn't help but be more confused.
Elan appeared in this castle, but never used its alchemy equipment, so what was his purpose here?
"By the way... look at this thing." Roy showed the metal "dog tag" to the three of them, and Lambert came up with a constructive suggestion.
"In my opinion, it does not belong to any unlucky man, nor was it accidentally swallowed by the many-legged insect. It is a mark deliberately left in the insect's body by the Elam Grand Master!"
Aiden rubbed the metal plate and added,
"The function of this thing is equivalent to a pet collar tied around the neck. And that multipod insect is probably a 'watchdog' raised by the mysterious man who controls Elan. Everyone must pay attention to it in the future. As long as you see it anywhere, there may be clues to Elam."
"A bold idea," Leisuo nodded. "If you dare to raise that kind of bug, you will either be a research madman or a pervert."
"Guys, I actually discovered something." Lambert led the two of them to the corner of the basement, and the pendants around their necks suddenly vibrated.
But the vibration amplitude is not large, which shows that the elements remaining in the air are very thin.
After seeing the initiator, several people couldn't help but look surprised - placed against the corner of the wall was an extremely simple yellow double-eared ceramic jar. The surface was covered with dust, and it was so simple and old that it could be called ancient.
Roy stared at it, his eyes becoming deep.
Sealed bottle
Some kind of powerful elemental creature was once sealed in the bottle. A long time has passed since the creature escaped from the trap, but a part of the magic energy still remains in the bottle.
……
Powerful elemental creatures, residual magic power.
Roy couldn't help but shrink his pupils and his breathing was slightly hot. Could it be referring to——
"I insist that this is a chamber pot left by some mage." Lambert crossed his arms and said nonsensically, "Although after many years, the magic elements remained with the urine he discharged into the jar. Come down. That's why the pendant vibrates."
"Maybe this spell caster is the murderer behind the scenes."
"Stop your vulgar jokes!" Geralt squatted down suddenly, picked up a brass lid from the side of the amphora, wiped off the dust, and found a missing cross and nine-pointed star, and memories. Everything in it is exactly the same.
He confirmed his suspicion.
I couldn't help but think about people when I saw things, a hint of warmth appeared on the cold cheeks, and then turned into sadness - it was because of this bottle that he and Yennefer met for the first time.
It's a pity that the sweet time is gone, and the happiness of the past only highlights the loneliness of today.
"I recognize this bottle, I have seen one in Limbu City, Redania."
"Man, why are you looking so exaggerated? Don't tell me this is a magic bottle." Lambert looked at the glass jar again, with a teasing smile on his lips. He held his head high and declared in a thick voice, "Here lives here There is a genie who will grant all our wishes. Don’t confuse fairy tales with reality.”
"You are right, but the wishes are limited to three, and the wish can only be made by the person who opened the brass bottle cap at that time. There are still very big restrictions on wishes."
"What wish? Why did you suddenly start talking?" Not far away, Cohen and Jie Long entered the basement along the stairs.
"We found a magic bottle that sealed the Dijin." Geralt raised his voice, holding the bottle in his palm and rubbing it, "It's a pity that the genie in the bottle is no longer there."
"Di Jing?"
Everyone looked solemn at this moment, and even Lambert put away his playful smile.
He does not believe in the so-called magic lamp elves, but as a demon hunter, he has heard of the famous name of Di Jing——
There are different spaces in the world, and between the spaces are the four major realms-fire, water, earth, and air.
Some demon hunters or wizards with extraordinary meditative abilities can approach these four realms through meditation through the spiritual body or out-of-body way.
Each realm is inhabited by powerful elemental elves, and this so-called Di elves are air elves, and the remaining three are fire giants, water elves, and earth spirits.
Fire giants can help people destroy themselves or others, water fairies can call for wind and rain, and earth spirits can move mountains and fill seas as if it were nothing.
Many warlocks once wanted to capture the Dijing, because once they enslaved the Dijing, they could use it as a medium to extract pure elemental power directly from the boundary layer, greatly improving their own magical power, but the power of the Dijing So powerful that almost no one has ever managed to catch them.
As for how powerful Di Jing is? It is like the ubiquitous air. Rumor has it that it is omnipotent and can fulfill any wish.
“It sounds incredible,” Geralt’s eyes flashed with memories, “But twelve years ago, in 1251, when Askel (Dandelion) and I were fishing outside the city of Limbu, we caught Such a jar."
"Wait?" Cohen swallowed, "You mean, you caught the 'Three Wishes' while fishing?"
"Geralt, admit it." Lambert was envious and jealous, "You are the illegitimate son of Lady Luck!"
The bright eyes of several demon hunters were piercing the white wolf like needles, and he could only smile bitterly.
"Actually, Askel and I didn't know about three wishes at all at the time, and we suddenly realized it later." He paused, and held the bottle cap a little tighter, as if to do this , he can relive the past.
"There is no rush to find the whereabouts of Master Elan at this moment. If you still regard us as brothers, then tell the truth!" Lambert urged with an unkind expression, "What wish did you make?"
"I feel that this bottle is a very important clue," Aiden nodded. "The more detailed we know about its background and functions, the better."
"Well, they are all boring past events, and I have no intention of hiding them. The first wish I made at that time was for Di Jing to go home and **** himself."
The five people couldn't help but be stunned, and they all showed expressions of admiration.
"Man, didn't the omnipotent Di Jing kill you?" Leisuo asked, stroking his bald head.
"I was holding the brass bottle cap. I was the wish-maker. Due to the rules, it could not harm me. And the words I yelled at it were the exorcism spells taught to me by a priestess. …It can only be said that everything was caused by accident.”
"Facts have proved that it cannot realize this wish, and Di Jing cannot 'fuck himself'."
Jie Long shook his head, a trace of jealousy flashed in his indigo eyes, "If it was my first wish..."
Imaginations arose in everyone’s minds.
Money, power, beauty, for the Brotherhood, the children of Gawain's house...
Geralt glanced at everyone's dazed expressions and continued, "For the second wish, I asked him to blow a guard's head. At that time, I still didn't realize that I was the wish-maker, and I said something angry. , I didn’t expect Di Jing to turn it into reality.”
"It seems that fate is playing a joke on you. It lifts you to the sky and then makes you fall from the clouds." Lambert looked pained, as if he was the one who made the wish, "I wasted two years at once. a wish."
"If it were me, I would be so angry that I could die!"
"Ahem, the third wish is also the only wish I have fulfilled, but it is related to personal privacy, so I'll stop here." Bai Lang looked reluctant.
"I saw your third wish..." Roy suddenly smiled mysteriously at Geralt and made a mouth shape - Yennefer.
White Wolf's expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly grabbed Roy's arm, a stern warning flashed through his dark cat eyes,
"Man, don't use your abilities to steal people's privacy!"
"Geralt, is it pointless for you to do this?" Lambert put his arm around White Wolf's shoulders, "We have a life-and-death relationship together, so why reveal some privacy? Did I hide my scandal?"
"No!" White hair shook behind Geralt's head.
Lambert's face darkened.
"Forget it, I'll let you go." Roy smiled. In fact, Geralt's third wish was the beginning of his relationship with Yennefer.
At that time, in order to restore fertility, Ye Naifa set up a magic circle in the urban area of Linbu, preparing to capture Di Jing to make a wish.
He happened to run into Geralt who was holding a wishing bottle cap.
The thunder from the sky hooked the fire from the earth.
Geralt was captivated by Yennefer's beauty, fell in love at first sight, and became obsessed with lust.
Being dumbfounded, he unknowingly became her puppet.
But later, Yennefer fought with Di Jing~IndoMTL.com~The surging magic power of Di Jing almost destroyed half of Linbu City.
The leaf’s life hangs on a thread,
To protect her from the Dijing.
Geralt used his third wish to forever entangle the fate of Ye and himself as the wish-maker. In this way, the Di Jing could no longer hurt the sorceress and disappeared without a trace.
Since then, the bond has been formed, and the demon hunter and the sorceress have **** in the ruins created by Di Jing.
In the next ten years, there will be separation and reunification, love and hate.
……
"Let's not mention the third wish." Reso said, "The appearance of the magic bottle in the castle is definitely not a coincidence. There must be some connection between it and Elan."
"Is Elan here to pursue the magic bottle, or the manipulator behind it? Who made three wishes with the magic bottle is currently unknown."
"Don't forget the dog tag inside this bug monster." Roy clapped his hands away, with a brass bottle cap and dog tag lying on his palm.
What does that monster, the sealed bottle, have to do with Elan?
Everyone looked at the two things, but the information was still too limited, and they couldn't think of a reason for a long time.
"I have a question, brothers," Lambert suddenly spoke and asked an imaginative question, "Since Di Jing is so powerful, who can seal it in a bottle, God?"
"If it's not a god," Geralt recalled the scene of the battle between Yennefer and Di Jing, "then it must be one of the most outstanding magicians in the world. Therefore, Roy has to go back and ask for advice. Ask Coral or Kalkistan."
"Yeah."
"Pause the discussion, everyone, come with us this way..." Cohen walked towards the stairs, "Jeron and I found a strange mural in another tower. It may be related to the Grand Master of Elam. You should Take a look."
