The Divine Hunter Chapter 31: The answer to everything
, the fastest update to the latest chapter of God-level Demon Hunter!
White Wolf slept one night in the witcher hut and said goodbye to everyone the next morning.
He had always slept well, but now he had two dark circles under his eyes, and his face looked gloomy and full of worries.
"Go and look in the mirror, Geralt, you look as haggard as the cobbler next door. Listen to me, go back and have a good night's sleep. You won't be able to figure it out in one night."
Roy smiled and said, "You should stay in Sintra for a while. The drinks here are strong enough and the women are hot enough. Boss Oaks is happy to take you to experience it. By the way, you can slowly consider me." Suggestions."
"That's enough." Geralt shook his head, his eyes bloodshot. He stayed up all night, thinking about it all night. "I am sober and I have made my decision - I am now more and more certain that only young people would have such crazy ideas."
"Geralt, what are you being modest about? How long can a witcher live? You're not too old and you're still a young man." Roy punched the witcher's well-developed chest muscles.
"Okay, little bastard, stop talking!" White Wolf rubbed his messy hair, looking annoyed, "I was really cursed by the tomb witch and tricked by the water ghost to follow me to Cintra! Originally! I just want to play Gwent twice and meet a few new friends... Why do you insist on rebuilding Kaer Morhen and the Brotherhood? My mind is filled with this ridiculous idea right now. But I can't give you the answer right away. ”
In fact, until now, Geralt still regards the other party's proposal as a delusion, but his teacher Vesemir is definitely willing to make a few new friends.
You should listen to the old man and give him a message.
Geralt said solemnly, "This matter is of great importance. I must return to the castle to seek the opinions of all Wolf Faction members. As for the conclusion..."
"Huh?"
"If you are lucky, Vesemir, Lambert, and Eskel return to Kaer Morhen early, and I will give you the results of the discussion this winter." Geralt paused, "Seriously. , boy, don’t hold out any hope unless their brains collectively cramp!”
"How to notify? We are wandering and I'm afraid we won't be in Sintra by then." Roy didn't seem to hear the second sentence.
"Before the end of this year, you need to go to Novigrad to find a guy named Dandelion. There is always a place where you can find the romantic poet in brothels, taverns, and opera houses. I will tell him the results and let him relay it. For you."
"Dandelion of Novigrad?" An image of a handsome poet with a mustache and a big talk suddenly appeared in Roy's mind, "Then it's settled!"
He held out his hand to White Wolf, who glared at him with his hands on his hips, then refused to hold the extended hand of friendship.
"I kind of regret knowing you, hopeless boy." Bai Lang said, "I also want to advise you, give up your naive ideas, it will never be realized."
"Continue, and there is no doubt that you will become the laughing stock of bards."
"How will you know if you don't give it a try? I am young and there is still a chance of failure." Roy said confidently, but he felt guilty in his heart.
But the witcher must make changes. If no one comes, he will do it, even if it becomes a joke.
He also understands that this idea is not possible at this stage, but it would be good to leave an impression on the demon hunters around him,
It will be more convincing if you mention it again in the future.
"But if it succeeds, everyone present will definitely feel proud, because you...witnessed the birth of an era!"
"Then I'll wait and see." Bai Lang shook his head, humming a very subtle sigh in his throat, and waved his hand, "I hope you can surprise me!"
"Letho, Oaks, Seret, I have to bring the Dryad Queen's answer to Vincelav of Brugg. If I continue to delay, that mad king may want to chop off my head."
"Goodbye, everyone!"
The three snake sects waved goodbye, but their faces were extremely stiff.
"Geralt, I'm waiting for your good news! Finally, don't forget to meet Ciri!"
The white wolf turned and left, still muttering, "I'm so crazy...crazy..."
……
"Huh..." Roy looked at the sky that was not yet bright and waved his fist, "The wings of the butterfly will finally start to flap the storm. White Wolf, don't let me down."
"Kid, any agreement you make with the White Wolf without authorization has nothing to do with me, Seret, or Oaks." Leisuo's deep voice sounded, "You have to go to Novigrad by yourself! ”
He suddenly sighed and blamed himself, "It's my fault too. I was too indulgent to you in the past, and that's why you didn't know how high the sky was. In the future, you should change your training method and change your arrogant temper."
Roy's heart sank, what was supposed to come had come.
"Don't you have any objection?"
"But I didn't agree either." Oaks said with a rare serious face, "Roy, I'll just pretend that you drank too much and got kicked in the head by a donkey. Don't talk nonsense next time."
"I..."
"Young people always have unrealistic ideas..." Seret's oppressive arms like steel clamps wrapped around Roy's neck, instantly calling him back from the fiery fantasy and back to the cold. reality, "I understand you, who has never been young and frivolous?"
"Kid, the daydream is over. Now we are the only ones left, let's have a good talk." Leisuo waved his hand to stop everyone's conversation and led the way into the hut, "Before leaving this time, you mentioned that you wanted to bring back a Friend, you mean the White Wolf? Most of the whereabouts of the witcher are a mystery. Where did you find out about his whereabouts?
The bald man spit out countless questions,
"Is it possible that you have foresight...and all the abnormalities you have shown in the past six months need reasonable explanations!"
The three Snake Factions crossed their chests with their hands, and three pairs of amber pupils aimed at the young man.
"I promised," Roy took a deep breath and pleaded, "I will naturally tell you the secret exactly, because you are my own! But can you... keep it a secret for me?"
"Kid/Roy/Boy!"
"You need us to swear?"
"That's not necessary." Roy pursed his lips, lowered his head and rubbed his cheeks with both hands. After a long time, he raised his head, a trace of hesitation flashed through his dark gold eyes before he spoke, "Everyone, have you heard of the ancient blood? ?"
Leso and Oaks looked puzzled, while Seret looked tense.
"I have heard about the ancient blood." Seret suddenly said, "It comes from the prophecy of the elf prophet, Islin-"
"Holy blood, cursed blood! Blood of killers, blood of saviors! Blood of birth, blood of death!" Seret recited in a cadence, and his tone softened, "Some ancient elves They were born with extraordinary talents in magic, space, and prophecy. As they grew older, their abilities became more powerful, and they eventually awakened into elven sages. Legend has it that the ancient blood flows in their bodies."
"But what does this have to do with you, kid?"
"I think you all guessed it... All questions have an answer." Roy breathed out, "Blood of the Ancients."
This is the answer he has been thinking about for a long time. The blood of the ancients can almost perfectly explain his spatial ability and foresight.
And these will be exposed sooner or later in the future fighting side by side with members of the Snake Faction. To be more precise, Leisuo has already noticed it in the past.
Instead of being secretive, it is better to proactively inform and gain trust.
"Kid, if I understand correctly." Leisuo asked, "You, the son of a farmer from the countryside of Aedirn, claim to have inherited the ancient blood of elves?"
"It's incredible, but I can prove it to you--right now!" Roy's face was complicated, but he didn't talk nonsense and led the three of them out of the room.
The morning sunshine outside is warm and gentle.
In the simple courtyard, a young man with black leather armor and a slender figure stretched out his hand to grab in the air, and a delicate hand crossbow suddenly appeared in his empty palm.
The bald man who was watching could still remain calm, but the Oaks brothers' expressions tightened, wondering whether this boy might have a space ring like Leisuo...
As soon as this idea came to my mind, a short vibrating sound of a bowstring suddenly sounded in my ears, and a silver light passed through the air. The Snake Pie pendant between the necks of the three people caught the magic wave, humming softly...
The space ripples imperceptibly.
The onlookers were shocked, and their amber eyes widened to the extreme.
The figure holding a crossbow disappeared out of thin air!
"What the hell?" Oaks licked his dry lips, turned around and looked around... He saw a familiar shadow at the end of the yard, next to the stables - the young man was stroking the mane on Wilt's neck with one hand, One hand raised the crossbow towards the three of them.
"Is it an illusion?" He was doubtful again,
"Whoosh——"
The bowstring vibrated again, and his slender figure flashed. Roy disappeared from the stable and appeared next to Oaks in an instant, patting the other person's stiff shoulder gently.
"This is the space shuttle ability of Ancient Blood... Everyone, are you willing to believe me now?"
The three big men remained silent.
……
Inside the house, under the dim light, the snake sect demon hunters surrounded the young man at the corner of the dining table like they were interrogating prisoners.
"You didn't have the ability to travel through space before," Leisuo said with determination. Before arriving in Sintra, he and Roy had experienced several life-and-death crises, but they had never seen each other use their abilities. "Did you just awaken recently?" ?"
"That's right...specifically, my ancestors of a certain generation have thin bloodline of ancient elves..." Roy said half-truthfully, "This bloodline and ability are strengthened when swallowing the blood of the sun. ..."
Leisuo's heart was moved. He was involved in this matter all over again, and he saw all the unreasonable things about this new disciple of the Snake Sect in Smelk. Could it be that this was really the reason for the awakening of the ancient blood.
"Not long ago, according to the guidance of the prophecy, I took the water of Broccolion in the primeval forest where I met the white wolf. My spatial ability further stabilized, and I was able to do what I did in the yard just now." Roy Sighing, "Unfortunately, the ancient blood in my body is very thin. Every movement requires a lot of magic power, and my weak magic power can't last more than a few times."
"It's already quite impressive." Oakes grinned, excitement and envy flashing in his pupils, "Space travel is more powerful than Teacher Ivar's evil eye that can see through planes."
"And I'm glad, Roy, that you're willing to tell us such a big secret!"
"Except for you, I am sure that there will not be a second demon hunter with the same ability..." Oakes seemed to have completely believed his explanation and began to think for him, "But the ancient blood is too sensitive. If If you are accidentally discovered by outsiders, you will claim that your ability is a mutation."
"To be more specific, what does short-distance teleportation feel like, compared with portals? What are the restrictions?"
"Oakes, don't ask if you shouldn't!" Lei Suo scolded, then turned to the boy, "Kid, what you said may not be nonsense... But in addition to space travel, you also mentioned predicting the future and spying. Past abilities..."
"Yes, occasionally, I can capture fragments of the past and the future through the ancient blood..." Roy paused, "Why did I have to leave with you when we were in Kaye Village?"
The three big men lowered their heads and couldn't help but look shocked as they recalled the scene at that time.
"Do you understand? During that time, I was accidentally bruised by a horse and fell into a coma, but the ancient blood was stimulated and suddenly awakened... Because the energy released was too huge, I was demented for a while... Then, accidentally Once, I had a glimpse of the future scene where the village was destroyed by the army... In order to change the fate of myself and my family, I made a request. But I was treated as a weird kid by everyone."
"If you don't believe it, you can ask Old Moore and Susie for confirmation."
"You said you were dreaming about it." Seret licked his dry lips, "So it wasn't nonsense?"
"Of course it's not nonsense. It's a pity that the ability to predict can't be controlled, and only occasional revelations can be obtained." Roy looked solemn and emphasized, "I also saw the future of the Snake Sect..."
"If you only want to rebuild the Viper School, it will accelerate the collapse of the school. That's why I put forward the suggestion of the Brotherhood."
He could hardly help but reveal directly to the three of them - you will be sent by the emperor of Nilfgaard to assassinate the king of the northern kingdom in the future. Seret died in the hands of the sorceress, and Oaks died under Geralt's sword. , Leisuo will be hunted by bounty hunters to the ends of the earth, and there will never be peace!
They will never be able to realize their desire to rebuild the college.
But now that Roy has joined the Snake Faction, it will naturally change the fate of the three of them.
"It's empty talk. If it were me, I could also make up a bunch of prophecies," Leisuo said with an unwavering expression. "To be more specific, what else did you see with the ancient blood? It has already happened, but less Someone knows the information."
"I saw your secret operations in Mahakam, Edsberg, Elland, Vizima, and Cintra..."
"How much do you know?"
"Most of them." Roy said calmly, "You came to the North and Cintra not just to follow the footsteps of the Wild Hunt and revive the school. You have been gathering information about the Northern Kingdom for Nilfgaard. Prepare for the upcoming war in the Southern Empire!"
"Look, Reso, I told you that you can't fool this clever boy. What now?"
Ochs clenched his fist loudly and said, "If we can't let him leak the secret, let me execute him on the spot!"
"Shut up, don't be like a noisy old woman!" Seret slapped his brother back to his seat. "Boy, since you know everything, there's no need to hide it anymore. It's just a waste of Lei Suo's painstaking efforts. He originally wanted you to be a pure demon hunter."
"Oh, really?" Roy glanced at the silent bald man, and his eyes turned gentle. "Leso, you know this is impossible... A turbulent era and a great era of change are coming, and no one can be alone, no one..."
"As a member of the Viper School, I have the right to participate in all actions of the school."
"Including espionage intelligence?"
"Stop being a spy!" Roy said in a stern voice, "And don't put your hopes in the south, Emhyr Emres is not trustworthy."
"I understand that as a northerner, you hate Nilfgaard, although there are many admirers of Emhyr here." Letso explained word by word, "But you are wrong... we His immediate boss is not the emperor of the south. We, the 'lowly status' demon hunters, are not qualified to be received by him."
"The person we met was a small intelligence chief, insignificant." Lei Suo had no reservations. "Our reconnaissance mission has ended, and the information about the northern border has been conveyed."
"In return, Nilfgaard's army was given a chance to breathe. At least for a few years, they will not attack Guswede again." Leisuo sighed, "How long can the Snake Faction's incomplete fortress still stand? years."
"Your awareness of our actions is not necessarily due to the ability of the ancient blood. I think you can also deduce these facts based on your brain."
The bald man has a deep gaze,
"You still need to prove it."
If the young man in front of me is an apprentice who has personally led into the way of the demon hunter, possessing the blood of ancient times, he has the ability to travel through space, the prophetic ability, and the weird self-healing ability in the Smirk Mine. .
In the near future, he will surely replace Ivar Evil Eye and become the most powerful demon hunter in the history of the Snake Sect!
He is the hope of revival!
"Okay, I will continue to prove...the ability to see into the past and the future." Roy suddenly stood up and walked around the table, his eyes pleading, "But I hope you support my proposal."
"Go to Kaer Morhen this winter and meet with the Wolf Faction. It would be best to reach an alliance..."
"Then establish the Demon Hunter Brotherhood." The bald man's eyes seemed to be looking at a naive fool, "Are you so sure that the old guy in Kaer Morhen will agree? Did you have a premonition?"
"No...but how will you know if you don't try?...My proposal is not inconsistent with the revival of the Snake Sect, it is just more ambitious."
Roy said stubbornly,
On this point, the attitude of the three people is very firm, "If you can prove your prophetic ability, we will accompany you to be willful again and go to Novigrad to wait for news from the Wolf Faction."
"If the Wolf Faction agrees to your request, we will go to Kaer Morhen and make some new friends."
"But forget about the ridiculous 'Brotherhood', wait until you are strong enough to defeat me, Oaks, and Seret, and become the leader of the Snake Faction before you give orders!"
"Now——" Leisuo stretched out his strong arm and spread his palm, making a "please" gesture.
"From the long river of history, I have spied some secrets hidden under the water - in some hidden places, senior demon hunters have left treasures, which contain the blueprints of weapons and equipment of various schools..." Luo Yi seemed to be peering into the void, with a look of intoxication in her eyes, "The finished product is definitely not inferior to the craftsmanship of dwarves and goblins."
He has been a witcher who promised to arm the Serpent Faction. Now, it is time to find a good sword for Leitho.
Prove yourself at the same time!
"It's okay not to mention the 'Brotherhood'. What are you waiting for, Roy? Draw the location of the blueprint!" Oaks shouted excitedly, "Find them all and forge them! I've had enough of cutting the water ghosts and they will be chipped. A fragile weapon, give me a stronger one!"
"Calm down~IndoMTL.com~mate."
The young demon hunter suddenly placed the back of his right hand on the center of the table and glanced at the three people around him.
"What are you doing?"
"Finding the school's blueprint is also a big deal!" Roy grinned at the three of them, "Before departure, there should always be a grand ceremony. Guys, put your hands up!"
The optimist did not hesitate to place his right hand on the back of his palm.
Then there was Seret who looked hesitant.
"Kid, it's best not to make our trip in vain!"
Finally, the bald man’s thick palm touched her.
Four palms formed a pile. Today, in a simple little house in Sintra, the witchers of the Viper School resolved their internal differences!
