The Divine Hunter Chapter 3: peeling off the cocoon

Roy silently moved towards the empty experimental table in front of him.

There are five more bright and green herbs on the stage.

"Take a look, do you recognize it?"

Leso, Kian, and three warlocks, who are the best at alchemy, each took one.

Observe, touch, and sense smells.

Five minutes later.

The collective fell into a state of petrification.

"I thought I was familiar with all the medicinal materials in the world, but I didn't expect to be tested by a young boy like you!" The alchemist squeezed the herb with light blue fusiform leaves in his hand in ecstasy, "Even I can't recognize it. With this herbal medicine, there is only one possibility."

"It's called the Death Knell. It's highly poisonous. Please be careful." Roy glanced at the four herbs one by one. "Nairn Root, Bubble Weed, Blood Crown, and Blood Thorn Vine are all produced in the snow of Skyrim Province. Man Ling."

"No, I have to go back and study right away!" Kalkstein seemed to be suffering from an addiction, his whole body was convulsing, his face was full of enthusiasm, and his cheeks were blooming like chrysanthemums. "Herbs from another world, with different medicinal properties, mean inspiration and A lot of innovation! With them, I will create an alchemical potion that is unique in the world!"

Letho and Kian's breathing began to worsen. No one among alchemy experts or botanists was not fascinated by a brand new herb.

"Evelin will definitely be fascinated by them." Kiyaan thought of something again, and a sweet smile appeared on his cheek covered with scarlet scars.

"Calm down, everyone!" Roy said, "I haven't finished telling you my surprise yet. Don't you want to continue listening?"

"There are other herbs!" The alchemist was immediately shocked.

On the other side, women’s focus is not on this at all.

Triss Chayaki's eyes stared at Rita Nied, with a hint of envy on her pretty face.

"So, you already know about this? He returned from another world?"

"Of course..." Rita Nied nodded, her hair jumping mischievously on her shoulders, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was proud and a little showy, as if she was complaining about her boyfriend to her best friend, "Last night, he should explain, no Everything that needs to be explained has been explained clearly to me. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to come today!”

Triss took a deep breath, lowered her head and pinched the amulet with a sad expression.

……

"Okay, we believe your explanation." Cohen asked, "But how can you go to another world?"

"Did it happen in Sintra Castle?" Cat Vulture's pupils shone under his sunglasses as he guessed, "Triss remembers that several men attacked you at that time. They were the ones who got you to that place. Riel?"

Roy glanced at the red-haired sorceress behind the crowd and nodded heavily when he saw that she was unharmed.

The sorceress felt his gaze and smiled softly at him with bright eyes.

"I don't know why, but they didn't kill me, but erased my memory."

There was an unconcealable bitterness in that smile.

Roy fell into deep thought after hearing this, and then slowly recalled it after a while,

"You don't have to remember anymore. I'll fill in what you forgot. That day, the two of us entered the castle together to look for Ciri, but we were stopped by four people halfway. As for their identities..." Roy's voice He hesitated, as if remembering some unbearable past event.

Coral immediately gently held his hand in her palm to comfort him,

"Their identities are extraordinary." Roy's voice was low, with a hint of gritted teeth, "I believe that everyone present has heard of their names."

"I was worried that they would follow the clues and find Gawain's house. That's why I called everyone to the Valley of Nine in Toussaint, thousands of miles away."

"After all, they don't know I'm back now. I luckily found a powerful mage from Skyrim Province for help, and with the help of his space spell, I escaped back."

In fact, Roy teleported back through the World Gate on his own.

But the Gate of the World involves the ancient blood, which is too deeply involved, and he does not plan to reveal it to everyone at the moment.

……

"Little brat, it's not your style to be timid," the bald man patted his shoulder gently with encouragement, "Do you remember, you killed the evil god's projection in Vizima, and in La Val Lei Diling has fought against the legendary devil. Who can make you so afraid?"

"Boy, have you forgotten what you promised?" Oakes frowned and shouted in a rough voice, "No more hiding things, brothers! No more hiding everything and facing danger alone, you now Why are you still hesitating? Do you want to break your promise?"

"You misunderstood, I was just thinking about how to explain it." Roy took a deep breath, and his eyes slowly swept across the expectant faces, "The four people who attacked me were named Elan, Ivar... Evil Eye, Aiga, Anahad."

Roy's words fell to the ground.

A moment.

The entire laboratory fell into an eerie silence, and all sounds disappeared.

The expressions of astonishment on the faces of the ten demon hunters froze, and they clenched their fists in unison, as if someone had choked their throats, and they were unable to speak for a long time.

In the laboratory, the only sound that could be heard was the pounding of the heart.

A long time.

"Grandmaster Ivar, how is that possible..." Seret's amber pupils burned with strong doubts, and he stared at Roy, trying to see a trace of guilt on his face.

But only firmness.

"Grandmaster Edgar...a distant yet familiar name..." Vesemir closed his eyes, with a strange expression on his weather-beaten face, mixed with relief and shock, "The one we found in Kaer Morhen The blueprints of the Taolang Sect were derived from the equipment he left behind."

"As for Anahad, I met him once hundreds of years ago, the founder of the Bear School, a tall man with cold eyes."

"Grandmaster Ivar Evil Eye rebelled against the Bear School led by Anaharo and founded the Viper School in Gesvid." Retho's eyes flashed with reverence, "Decades ago, Ivar After Teacher Val left an instruction to Kolgrim to find the blueprints for the Serpent Faction equipment, his whereabouts were also unknown. Later, Berengar seemed to have said that he appeared in Aedirn."

"Since the Griffin Academy Kyle Siren was destroyed by a large avalanche in the Dragon Mountains many years ago, the Grand Master of Elam left a "Book of Shadows" and began to wander around the world." Cohen recalled, " During the Battle of Manada, he seemed to show up and meet Jielong."

"As far as I know, the Grand Master of Demon Hunters, the first generation of Demon Hunters, have all disappeared in recent years." Seret concluded,

"There is no doubt about their combat effectiveness. After all, they have experienced mortality, and the pain is far beyond the repeated transformation of ordinary grass trials."

"But why do they get together? How can Ivar and Anahad, the traditional enemies, live in peace? Since Grandmaster Ivar is still alive, why hasn't he come to see us for so many years?"

"The reason is very simple!" The bald man slapped his thick palm on the table, his eyes full of confidence, "At first we deduced that Elan appeared in the Battle of Manada and met with Jeron Moru of the Griffin Faction. When we met, we made speculations. Some powerful force controlled the Elamite Grand Master."

"And further inference - since the whereabouts of the great masters of the Wolf Faction, Snake Faction, and Bear Faction are also unknown, are they also being controlled?"

"The kid's remarks now confirm this speculation!"

Everyone present was shaken, as if they were witnessing a piece of a broken jigsaw puzzle being pieced together, revealing the majestic landscape.

They had a sense of enlightenment and were eager to continue piecing it together.

……

"What is their purpose for doing this?" Kyaen couldn't understand. "The four grand masters joined forces and appeared frequently on the battlefields of Manada and Sintra, and finally sniped in the castle of Sintra. Roy?"

"What kind of powerful existence can control the four master demon hunters."

"Lesuo said something wrong." Roy shook his head and threw another verbal bomb. "The four masters were never controlled from the beginning to the end. This is what they admitted to me personally. They seemed to have joined voluntarily. A mysterious organization."

"As for their frequent presence on the battlefield, I suspect it has something to do with the souls of the fallen soldiers on the battlefield!"

"Besides, they thought I had unintentionally taken away a certain artifact, so they took action against me."

Roy thought again about what they called the fragment of the Supreme Being.

No matter where it comes from, now it is its own template, bound to its own soul.

No one can take it away from you!

"The four great masters join forces to shuttle through the battlefield to collect dead souls for a certain organization?" Oakes blurted out, then shrank his neck, as if a cold wind was pouring from the back of his neck, and whispered in a low voice, "Sounds quite Evil, but this is not in line with Teacher Ivar's behavior. What is the ultimate goal of doing this?"

"I don't know this either." Roy said, "They thought I was an obstacle, so they took measures to banish me to a different world."

At that time, Roy was still in a slow state of resurrection and could not see the methods of the four great masters.

A trace of pity appeared on everyone's faces after hearing this.

In a way, exile is more terrifying than death.

This brother of mine must have had some bad experiences.

"Exiling people to another world sounds a bit like summoning magic, which is prohibited by the Brotherhood," Triss guessed, frowning slightly.

"They may also have used some kind of tool," Cohen added another piece of the puzzle. "We found the wishing bottle in which the gnomes were imprisoned in the Hainkaweh Fortress in the Amer Mountains. Di Jing can predict wars, and he can also banish people, right?"

……

"The four great masters actually revealed so much information to you?" Mao Jiu raised his eyebrows in surprise, "If it were me, I would definitely take action directly to make you reborn as soon as possible!"

"Grandmaster Ivar was quite gentle with me at first and wanted to discuss and negotiate terms with me." Roy pursed his lips and sighed, "Aiga and Elan are also very sensible and restrained."

Leso, Oakes, Seret and other members of the Snake Faction breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

If you remember, the respectable and admirable Ivar Evil Eye, who vowed to drive out the Wild Hunt and restore peace to the world, turned into a scum who killed innocent people indiscriminately!

They don't know how to face it.

"But Anahad from the Bear School killed me!"

Roy clearly remembers the feeling of being torn apart by a broad sword and the imminent death.

Whether Anahad is the Grand Master or something else.

This life must be taken back!

"I have heard all kinds of rumors about the Bear School for a long time. They are cold-blooded and have no compassion or compassion." Lambert shook his head. "It is not surprising that Anahad did this. But don't worry, kid."

"The Demon Hunter Brotherhood will avenge you!"

"The Grand Master is just a symbol of the old era and should have been buried in the dust of history long ago. Since he dares to attack you! We don't have to be polite to him!"

"That's right!" Oaks nodded, "Anahad is our enemy!"

"You made such a hasty decision?" Cohen said, "The Demon Hunter Brotherhood is on the opposite side of the Four Grand Masters and the organizations behind them?"

The Griffin Faction asked this question to all the demon hunters present.

"Perhaps, we should find a way to contact the Grand Master..." Aiden suggested, the scar on his chin faintly glowing red, "We pretend that we have nothing to do with Roy...find out what they say! What do they want? ? Is it a threat to the Brotherhood and Gawain House!"

"First you have to find them, and then what?" Cat Eagle shook his head and asked disdainfully, "Let them realize their mistakes and kowtow to Roy to apologize? Do you think it is possible?! When they attack Roy , the result is already determined!"

His voice was cold, but it made Roy feel very warm.

"The Demon Hunter Brotherhood and these guys are incompatible with each other!"

The atmosphere became tense again.

"The matter of the four great masters needs long-term planning and must not be acted rashly." Roy glanced at Coral, Triss, and Kalkstein, completing the last corner of the puzzle, "There is another important point, there is a powerful The warlocks are with them!"

"His name is Idalan. Do you remember him? What is his origin? I remember that guy can use a double-cross spell to summon mutant insects. ~IndoMTL.com~ It is this mage who interrupts time and time again. The escape portal of Roy and Triss was opened, putting the two into desperate situation!

The beautiful coral eyes flashed, lost in thought.

And Triss's expression suddenly changed, her cheeks flushed with excitement,

"Idalan of Urivo! I saw him in a text! He is an expert in the fields of hybridization, mutation and genetic engineering, and has created many horrific creatures, insect and amphibian hybrids , giant monsters, etc.!"

"Do you remember?" Cohen suddenly took out a delicate, dark gold metal nameplate from his arms, "We killed a mutated insect in Hainkawih and found this from its flesh. Stuff.

Triss took it and took a closer look, "Yes, Idalan likes to leave metal nameplate numbers on the creatures he creates!"

"So this guy has won over four seniors including Grandmaster Ivar?" Eskar asked,

"The first impression he gave me was that his strength was not outstanding, and his temperament and appearance were disgusting." Roy recalled the sinister face and shook his head. "I don't think he can brainwash Lord Ivar Evil Eye."

"He has little fame, if any, and only a bit of notoriety, because the book says that many of the monsters he created are still roaming around the world, harming innocent civilians. But his most famous identity comes from his teacher ."

Triss’s clear and soft voice paused, with a hint of reverence in her tone,

"The creator of the Double Cross Summoning Spell, Arzu!"

Hiss——

Arzu?

At this moment, the expressions of all the demon hunters present changed drastically, as if they had grasped a certain context.

Coral suddenly tightened her grip on the demon hunter's hand, and her pretty face flushed with excitement.

"Arzu has another identity. He and his teacher Cosimo Malaspina are called the creators of the Witcher!"
