The Divine Hunter - Chapter 522
Chapter 522 Ins and Outs
The night is drooping, and the cold wind on the mountainside is blowing.
In the dim light outside the mine, two scarlet spots floated like wildfires, and a giant bear over three meters long walked out of the wooden house.
The information Roy observed from it was different from before.

……
Drink the medicine and transform into a giant bear, the Velka.
Roy suddenly realized.
So there is nothing Ibel from Great Skellig Island at all, what the fifth warrior, Falike himself is the bear!
But his previous performance did not seem to be clear that there was an abnormal force hidden in his body, and Yaxie Fayin did not ask the truth.
Is this guy schizophrenic? Is Svablo’s ritual so evil?
Roy’s heterochromatic pupils passed the color of thinking.
According to the attributes of this fierce bear, it is not difficult to kill it yourself, but by doing so, it is impossible to deal with the blacksmith of Todalo.
Then let you change back!
“Roar!”
The body of the giant bear over three meters stood up, casting a shadow of a towering hill toward the ground, his sharp claws waved in mid-air, and roared.
In response, Roy quietly took out a crossbow.
“Shoo—”
The sound of breaking through the air.
A crossbow arrow hit the snow near the bear’s feet, and snow splashed on its thick, black mane.
The Demon Hunter hooked his finger, with an ironic smile on the corner of his mouth.
Chi Guoguo’s provocation!
The giant bear instantly burned with anger, and its huge body swept across the snow, like a heavy tank launching a charge!
“Puff, puff, puff!”
The ground trembled, a series of deep footprints appeared, and large tracts of snow fell off the cliffs of the mountain.
“Shoo—”
The bowstring buzzes.
The giant bear approached, Roy flickered, the arrow grazed the fluffy body, and instantly appeared in front of the damaged cabin ten meters away behind him.
“Huh…huh…”
The giant bear made an emergency brake. His limbs dragged a row of scratches on the snow. White mist was exhaled from his big mouth. When he turned, his scarlet pupils stared at the undamaged Demon Hunter not far away, making him even more angry.
“Roar!”
It charges again.
While the demon hunter performed the same trick again, still relying on the flash to avoid its collision, the giant bear passing by directly knocked out a big hole in the wooden wall of the house.
Broken sawdust, dust, fog, and crushed ice fluttered in the air.
The sound of a giant bear in the fog is like a drum, standing opposite the demon hunter.
Roy originally thought that he would change his strategy with a longer memory. Transformable deprived of reason more than he expected. The giant bear lost his basic judgment, and stubbornly launched a continuous collision at him in vain.
And the witcher teased this “big dog” and became a kite-flying man.
With the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, Roy’s figure flew up and down, spookingly changing directions.
Sometimes I appeared in front of the wooden house that was about to fall apart and waved at it, sometimes blew a loud whistle at the side of the mine, sometimes applauded among the cliffs ten meters above the ground, and there was a snowy tree beside the stone ladder. The top of the pine tree shot an arrow at the giant bear.
Constantly provoking and angering!
A bright moon quietly hung in the sky.
Under the moonlight, the heavy footsteps of “puff puff puff” were heard on the platform outside the mine and between the stone stairs. A beast on all fours charged back and forth in it tirelessly and irregularly, braking, turning, and charging again.
Huge footprints drew circle after circle on the smooth snow, the water vapor exhaled from the blood basin was frozen by the cold air, and a circle of black hair and fangs appeared on the lips.
This mountain clearing seems to have become a circus. The giant bear is the hard-working animal actor, and the witcher is a skilled animal trainer.
Hooking, calling, applauding, archery, several actions, make the giant bear exhausted.
……
A full half an hour.
The Demon Hunter used the “activation” and a few bottles of magic potions, and the flashes were undamaged.
The giant bear is sweating all over his body, and the black fur is covered with a layer of ice blossoms, his lungs are vomited out quickly, his eyes waggingly glanced at the arrogant figure in the distance.
was so tired that he couldn’t make a sound anymore, and squatted backwards like a big dog and stuck out his tongue.
“Man, can’t stand it for a while? Swablow’s followers are so capable?” The demon hunter smiled and sat comfortably on the beam of the broken wooden house with only skeletons. “Continue to catch me! Catch me! Stay with me and I will let you have a bite!”
“Exhale…inhale…exhale…inhale…”
This time, letting him spit provoking wildly, the fierce bear ignored it.
Instead, he dropped his head in frustration, and his body trembled.
All fighting spirit disappeared, and everything became dull.
Under the moonlight, the body of the terrifying beast quickly shrank and dried out. Two seconds later, on the snowy ground that was trampled by bear paws, there was an extra man with a thin back and a skinny and coma.
The demon hunter wiped his contaminated eyes, and quickly confirmed that the blacksmith had just fainted with excessive physical energy.
Can put a fierce bear down on the ground, there is no one except me!
Roy took out a clean fur coat and put it on his body.
“Satisfied, man, even Coral did not enjoy my personal service!”
With the blacksmith on his back, the demon hunter’s figure rose and fell, disappearing on the way when he came.
……
Three or four o’clock in the morning.
Cod Town.
There are sparse people in the town, and the early townsfolk go out to sea with fishing nets and equipment.
The blacksmith shop is brightly lit.
After the clanging beating, the blacksmith Clough picked up an iron embryo with iron clamps and put it into the furnace for calcination.
The little blonde girl stepped on the blower cooperatively.
“Do you think Mr. Oaks can bring back Uncle Faryk and Uncle Olaca?”
“Don’t worry, Yuna, he doesn’t feel like a blind and self-confident person.” The blacksmith sat on the felt, wiping his sweat with a towel, “I just hope the goddess will bless the troubles in the mine…not because of you Uncle Farrick. .”
“What’s the problem with Uncle?”
“It’s a long story. At that time, you were not born and you had been in peace for more than 20 years, so it shouldn’t be his problem.”
“Then if Mr. Oaks completes the commission.” The little girl narrowed her mouth. “Are you leaving with him? You have lived in Udvik for dozens of years. Are you willing? Why don’t we help him build a piece of equipment? remuneration?”
“Little girl, forgot the family rules? Honesty and honor! Since you have made a promise, you can’t violate it.” The blacksmith suddenly straightened his face and reprimanded his daughter. “If he rescues people, it will be the will of the goddess Freyja. The surviving Farrick and Okara will stay at home and assume responsibility for me.”
“But, I…I don’t want to be separated from you, my forging skills are not good enough, and I still need your guidance! Uncle Chamir is impatient, and he and his aunt are looking for a husband for me all day long!”
“My dear girl, no one on Udvik Island is worthy of you.” Kraft Todalo smiled and glanced over his daughter’s green and beautiful face, “I thought about it carefully.”
“If you want, come with us to Novigrad and see the world outside the archipelago. As a girl, the burden of inheriting the family mantle should not be placed on your shoulders.”
“Family reputation is both an honor and a curse.”
Yuna heard this with a small face full of anticipation.
……
“tap da da…”
A burst of rapid footsteps broke the silence of the town, and the two father and daughter glanced across the door curtain of the blacksmith shop, looking into the distance, under the lavender sky, a figure in a black cloak rushed over.
Oaks?
He carried a thin figure on his shoulders, and his dry blond hair was quite familiar with his big square chin.
The two father and daughter couldn’t help but look shocked.
“Craft, Yuna, come and help,”
“Falik? Blessed by Freya, my brother is still alive!” Clough was surprised and delighted, and cooperated with the demon hunter to hug the brother back to the bed in the bedroom.
And Yuna excitedly called out the sleeping blacksmith Chamir’s family.
“God, just come back!” The owners of the Todaluo Qu family-two blacksmiths, a young girl, a plump woman in a cloak, and a five or six-year-old boy surrounded the sleeping bunk. man.
“Master Oaks, I don’t know how to thank you! You saved an important member of Todalo!” Chamir grabbed the demon hunter’s hand excitedly, and his voice trembled.
“Is Uncle Farrick sick?” the little blond-haired boy said heartily, “Why can’t I wake up? I’ll call a doctor?”
“Don’t worry,” Roy stretched out and ran for six or seven hours with a man carrying hundreds of pounds. He was a little sore in his waist and back.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Clough asked eagerly, “Is there only Falik, and Okara? There are warriors who will go to save them?”
Roy shook his head, with a trace of condolences on his expression, which made people feel flustered.
“It’s a pity, everyone, there is only him alive in the mine, and the rest are corpses, a total of a dozen. The rescued warriors have already encountered accidents.”
Speaking, he stretched out his hand and waved, and suddenly a bunch of sparkling “dead memorabilia” appeared on the round table by the bed.
Clough recognized a badge of forging hammer and iron felt at a glance,
“Ocala’s badge?!”
“I found it on a frozen corpse.”
Everyone at the scene flushed with sadness. The woman took the tearful boy into her arms, and Yuna pulled her father’s sleeve.
“Uncle Ocala is gone? What happened?”
“As you guessed before, something attacked the mine.” The demon hunter swept across the faces of the five people with his arms around his chest, with a sense of scrutiny, “The next topic is quite heavy, women and children. It’s better to avoid it.”
“I won’t avoid it! In terms of courage, the Todaluo family women are by no means inferior to any man!” Yuna raised her chest and stared at the Demon Hunter, and said loudly, “I can bear it!”
And Chamir glanced at his wife, who took the child into the inner room and closed the door.
The demon hunter nodded and said to make a long story short, “I dived into the forge furnace in the deepest part of the mine, and found two ice trolls stewing meat there, and the ingredients used were… uh… the remains of the warrior who went to the rescue.”
“Oh…” Yuna covered her mouth.
Craft and Chamir turned blue.
“Ice troll? Blue-faced fangs, hard-bodied monster like a stone?”
“Have you seen it? Anyway, they are very dangerous. They can beat people into mash with one punch, and they can break bones by throwing a rock.”
“I’ve heard from the elders… The deepest part of the Udvik Mountains is home to humanoid monsters covered in ice… and frost giants bigger than a house.” Clough’s face was heavy, and he clenched his fists. “We have always followed our ancestors. Xun, never far from the mining area and the forging factory, deep into the mountains, I did not expect that it would still lead to trouble.”
“It’s unreasonable!” Chamir questioned, “Although the two ice trolls are strong, but a dozen of us go to the rescue, we won’t even get a single message back! How do you escape from under the trolls’ eyes and rescue me? Brothers?”
“You know something, I don’t need to escape…” The demon hunter smiled happily, and pointed to the floor of the room. A **** troll corpse appeared in front of everyone. “I have avenged you.”
Yuna’s face was white, but she forced herself to stare directly at the corpse.
The two blacksmiths swallowed their saliva, and looked over the ice troll, who was more than 2.5 meters tall and had arms thicker than the waist of ordinary people. In contrast, the demon hunters could be described as “weak.”
How does the flesh and blood of humans kill this terrifying monster? They are much more powerful than killing Hekna!
The back of the demon hunter became taller than ever before.
“You are right, two ice trolls will not kill all rescuers.” The demon hunter turned, “They still have accomplices-I found traces of fierce bears in the mine.”
Fierce bear?
At this moment, Yuna’s face was blank, and the two blacksmiths’ expressions changed drastically for an instant, and they returned to normal immediately.
“What did you say?”
“I think you must know something inside…” Roy had a judgment in his mind, and placed a bottle of wine on the round table—mead with human blood and Marduo mushrooms.
He peeled off the cap of the bottle.
Craft and Chamir smelled the sweet smell of wine and the slightly smelly mushrooms, their faces suddenly tightened, and even their breathing stopped.
“It took me a lot of time to find the giant bear. Until I stumbled upon this bottle of wine…” The witcher stared at the faces of the two of them, applying pressure word by word, “I gave the wine to Farrick. …”
“Stop talking! Master Oaks!” Clough suddenly cried out strangely, lowered his head and said, “It seems you know it! Just ask if you have any questions, we know everything.”
“But I promise that becoming a giant bear is not Falik’s original intention. All the killings have nothing to do with him. It’s another cruel guy who is causing trouble in him!” Chamir looked at the eyes of the demon hunter and said sincerely. “There has been no accident for more than 20 years. We originally thought that the thing had disappeared. We did not expect that he would accidentally eat the medicinal wine. He also got involved with the troll.”
Perhaps because they all love to eat people, their minds are simple, and they like to get together to exchange food experiences.
Roy made a comment.
“Didn’t you talk about trolls just now? What wine and giant bear are you talking about?” Yuna’s simple gaze slowly swept across the faces of her relatives and the demon hunter.
“Quiet! Yuna, don’t ask if you shouldn’t ask! Go in with your aunt!”
“No! I’m fifteen years old, I have the right to know everything, what are you hiding from me?!” Yuna flushed her face and shook her head, her ponytail rippling, she actually got behind her father and hid behind the demon hunter. stand up.
Roy felt the breath of the girl behind him, and shrank his neck. Under what circumstances do you trust me so much?
Don’t leave quickly, you won’t be able to leave later.
“Don’t make any noise! So, this Falike is a Velka, who believes in Svablo?” Roy asked, and a lot of memories flashed in his mind.
There are seven most powerful families in the Skellig Islands, including the deadly Clayt, Mondela, Tursec…
Most of the islanders live under the seven families.
But in addition to the seven families, there is also a group outside of the seven families, called the Velka people.
The Velkas are more warlike than any islanders. They live by serving and fighting. They do not belong to any blood or family on the islands. They secretly worship the evil **** Svablo, who has long been banned by the islands, and increase their membership through cruel rituals. .
And Swablo likes to let believers use living people to make **** and savage sacrifices.
Velka were blessed by it and mastered the ability to incarnate a giant bear, but they had to drink a special hallucinogen with human blood, mead, and Mado mushrooms.
In Roy’s memory, about nine years later, King Skelligebrand passed away.
At the banquet for the selection of the new king, a Vilka entered the banquet, drank a special hallucinogen under the conspiracy of Queen Birna, and turned into a giant bear to kill and destroy the entire banquet.
And Geralt followed the clues to find out the truth, punished Bienna, and made the new king successfully ascended to the throne!
……
“He was forced!”
“how do I say this?”
Clough said bitterly and helplessly, “Farik became a master forger at the age of twenty. His fame spread throughout the Skelrige Islands and caused trouble to his upper body. A group of Velka kidnapped him to Skelrige Island and persecuted him. He participated in the **** ritual of offering sacrifices to’Svablo’.”
“In order to survive, he killed his opponent in a ceremony and was swallowed by a giant bear, turning into a Velka with the dual identities of humans and fierce bears.”
Roy remembers the approximate steps of this **** ceremony, asking the two participants to fight a death fight with bare hands in the “Bear Ring”.
The surviving people were covered with lure potions and swallowed Marduo mushrooms, and then lured fierce bears in the shadow caves, letting the giant bears tear themselves up piece by piece and eat it.
Then the bear’s shape began to change, the hair fell off quickly, and changed into human limbs, gradually becoming the velkas who were swallowed by them.
Velka people have another more famous name-the “Berger” of the Skellig Islands.
Their leader is a fallen druid who has rebelled against the circle of Skellyje Druid.
Proficient in the art of beast transformation.
“After passing the ritual, Farrick was forced to have the power to incarnate a giant bear, but he had to be in extreme anger or drink a special drink.”
Craft shook his head,
“He felt that there was an evil presence in his body, and he was extremely disgusted with it. He had always disliked meaningless and **** killings. He hated Svablo, the deity of the Velka people who provoke battles! So one day he took advantage of it. The Velka people did not pay attention, escaped from the’Bear’s Ring’, and returned to his hometown Udvik by boat. He had already told me everything and explained everything!”
“With the company of his family and the busy forging work, Falik has always been in good control. He even gradually forgot that there was such a fierce bear hidden in his body. Later, he completely lost the relevant memories of the Velka people. We think this is Swablo’s punishment for the believers who turned away from him, and has taken back the power of the bear.”
Roy frowned, forgetting his previous experience?
This is really a schizophrenic patient.
Clough took a deep breath and raised his voice.
“Believe it or not, we have never seen Farik change fierce bear in twenty years! He never thinks he has anything to do with the Velkas.”
Roy nodded.
If they saw a giant bear, the blacksmith’s family would hate Huangquan a long time ago.
Heterochromatic pupils turned to Farrick, who was calm and sleeping.
This guy is under the control of Yaxie Fayin, but he is telling a fabricated lie. There is only one possibility. He regards the lie as the truth. He has dual personalities-the normal blacksmith Falik and the fierce bear Falik.
The demon hunter can imagine that the ice troll breaks into the mine and kills with Farrick, who accidentally eats potion and turned into a murderous bear.
Falik knew subconsciously that there was a monster locked in his body, but he didn’t want to admit it, so he invented a warrior named Ibel from the Great Skellig Islands, and I firmly believed that the giant bear who became the incarnation of Bayer killed several of his companions.
He put himself in an iron cage and did not want to leave. It should be some kind of crisis defense mechanism of normal personality, and he was afraid of hurting his family after becoming a bear.
But the monster is going out, he can’t stop it!
The little girl behind the Demon Hunter was stunned and her mouth grew.
“Master Demon Hunter, please live around him…” Chamir glanced at the **** troll, “I swear by the Todaluo family reputation! I will look after Falike day and night and let him Stop transforming and hurt people’s lives!”
Clough dragged the sluggish girl Yuna from behind the Demon Hunter to her side. “You saved Farrick, killed the trolls, and avenged so many brothers. I should fulfill my promise and become your full-time blacksmith! We packed up and set off immediately. How about returning to Nuo City?”
“I can’t ask for it, but don’t worry, I have something to do in Skelliger.” Roy shook his head, “Don’t worry, I want to do it. I sent him to see the goddess Freya a few hours ago.”
“I have a suggestion.” The demon hunter paused, his eyes flashing eagerly, “I can try to get him completely free from Swablo’s control and influence! Wipe away the Cthulhu imprint in his body!”
