The Divine Hunter - Chapter 569
Chapter 569 Let’s Go to Nuo City
I don’t know how long it has been.
With a heartbreaking murmur, Toluvier completely got rid of the hypnotic influence of Aksi Fayin, opened his eyes dazedly, and was surprised to find that he was in a dim cave, Vasili Sleeping not far away, the wound on his thigh was bandaged.
And Evelyn squatted under a swaying torch, staring at a crystal in her hand without blinking, her complexion, sadness, gratitude, and hatred intertwined.
“Evelyn, where are we?”
Toluvier supported her aching body, walked over and patted Vasili’s cheek, the latter awakened from her drowsiness with a “huh”.
“He let us go.” Evelyn said mechanically.
“Demon hunter? But why? His—” Vasili released a green light from her finger to relieve the tingling of the wound, “The executioner, who killed so many of our compatriots, has to spare us a few.”
“How can there be so many reasons?” Toluwell sighed in relief, patted her small chest that was scorched by electricity, and said with great joy, “It must be because of Evelyn’s face! It’s better to live than to die. Be strong!”
“This is a shame!” Vasili said sadly, clutching her chest, “More than two hundred compatriots have sacrificed, and only a few of us are left to live. How can I explain to Phila Vandre and Francesca?!”
“What I said before, those who offend the demon hunters are all dead, you don’t believe it, but you want everyone to die! If you are not angry… go down and accompany them by yourself!” Toluwell patted her little hand and The mud on the clothes stood up and walked towards Evelyn, “As for Evelyn and I keep useful bodies, we continue to do it for Evelyn!”
“When I am sure that the demon hunters will leave, I will bring back to Russell the news of all your deaths, and help you contain the dead bodies.”
Vasily curled up into a ball in the corner of the wall in pain when she heard the words, her face was red with shame.
If it hadn’t been for her and Ken Safa to insist on a sneak attack, everyone would not have to sacrifice.
More than twenty mutants, it is an unstoppable army!
“Don’t go to Russell.” Evelyn shook her head suddenly, took a deep breath, and the last admonition of the Demon Hunter appeared in her mind. The familiar and kind face made her extremely strange.
But after all, he risked a yard to release himself.
A little bit more about my heart.
These indifferent attacks and indiscriminate brutality did not make Evelyn feel happy or happy, especially the compatriots around him, one by one.
This kind of pain cannot be compounded.
You spare my life, I will listen to you once!
“Vasily, open the portal. I want to return to the Blue Mountains!”
“What do you want to do?”
“I want to see Your Majesty Francesca and bring a message for the Demon Hunter!”
…
Dawn just broke.
The convoy of the Demon Hunters left the messy battlefield.
“What are your plans next?”
Roy, sitting on the slowly moving carriage, looked at Quartermaster Wink, the carriage full of stones, and the soldiers of Kodwin, gradually disappearing from view, and asked,
“Return to Mahakam from the southern border of Kodwin? Or join us to the Temple of Meritelli?”
Bernie and Reagan Dahlberg are unwilling.
They came to Kodwin to serve for the king, and wanted to get a name and return to their hometown, but now they leave dingy, their ambitions are far from being realized.
“I don’t want to go back to Mahakam so early… Marry a wife and have children, guarding… the mountain road where birds don’t shit.” Bernie said.
Yalpin shook his head, played with the axe at his feet, and looked at the tung tree slowly passing by, “I let the elder Broval Hogg talk harshly, I won’t go back!”
“Find another Mingjun to serve?” Lambert, who was sitting in the third carriage, glanced at the six dwarves jokingly. “I heard that Foltest, the king of Tamoria, is the king of individual soldiers. Wisdom, Generosity and diligence.”
There is no objection from the demon hunters,
As we all know, playing for Foltest is much more reliable than playing for King Henset.
This guy is different from other kings in the north, and does not hate ancient races. On the contrary, he can speak fluent ancient Chinese and is a connoisseur of elven poetry and dwarf ale.
Although he is not merciful to the Squirrel Party, Foltest is willing to believe in ancient races.
“And the kid has a good relationship with Foltest’s daughter, His Royal Highness.” Resso’s deep voice pressed the wheels to crush the ground, and the sound of horses’ hoof kicks and horse gear collisions made everyone in the marching convoy hear Hear it clearly.
“Roy still has a relationship with the goddess on the shore of Lake Vizima.” A smile appeared on the corner of Oaks’s mouth, adding that it wasn’t messy enough.
Grimm, who was doing his best to keep Oreo sitting on the carriage like a knight, his face stiffened, and he looked at Roy with scorching eyes.
This guy actually knows the goddess in the lake, why no one has ever told me?
And Rita Need gave Renee a stop to correct the fingers of her deciduous teeth, and her scrutiny gaze swept across Roy, who was sluggish in front of her.
Bernie, Yannick, and Reagan brothers pulled the reins, slowing the carriage speed, and a heartbeat appeared on their faces.
“Actually, I am only an ally with them.” Roy cleared his throat.
“No need.” Alpin pressed the pedals under his feet, oiling and maintaining his beloved hand crossbow, and said, “Through this escort, I can understand one thing. Even my heart is broken. King Hensett, who has served for many years, insulted me with doubts and temptations… Other kings will only get worse.”
“This group of rulers are all about the same virtues and won’t really trust the dwarves. Why should we warm our faces and stick our cold ass?”
After said this, Alpin was relieved with a sigh of relief, and a hint of open-mindedness and cheerfulness returned to his melancholy face.
And the five dwarves heard the boss’s conclusion and couldn’t help but nod their heads.
The optimistic talent of the dwarves makes them forget their sadness.
Don’t stay here, you have a place to stay!
“It just so happens that you are going to Elland on this trip. Let’s go there to visit my old friend Dennis Kramer. Let’s talk about the future.”
“Actually, I have a suggestion. If you still want to prove that ancient races and humans can coexist peacefully, you might as well give it a try!”
“Let’s listen! I don’t want to give up all my work!” Alpin showed obvious heartbeat.
Roy has a trace of sincerity on his face and a smile at the corner of his mouth. “In my opinion, today, there is only one place that can ease the conflict between ancient races and humans…”
“Where?” Bernie looked at him curiously.
“Cowell and Povis?” Reagan patted his head, his beard trembled, “You let us’get off to Povis’?”
The dwarves suddenly beamed their eyes,
“Korwell and Povis are located in the northernmost part of the mainland, close to the Flying Dragon Mountains and far from the Yaluja River. As a permanent neutral country, they are not threatened by Nilfgaard. They have developed shipping and mineral deposits, economic prosperity, and an enlightened atmosphere. The coast is also widely accepting all kinds of immigrants! Many pioneering humans, ancient races, and even mages gather there.”
“If you want to spend the second half of your life in peace, that place is a good choice.” Roy changed his words. “But Kerviel is in a corner, and his influence on the whole world is extremely limited, and he cannot change the policies of the northern countries. ”
“In my opinion, the only place that can reverse the ancient racial prejudice is Novigrad, who is in an important place, has many ports, and the integration of all ethnic groups!”
“You let us go to the Freedom City to fight?” Yalpin rewarded the horse pulling the cart with a whip, “Let us go to gangsters?”
He picked up dark and thick eyebrows, and a trace of contempt appeared on his face, “I know, there is a butcher Cliff in Nuo City, who manages the dwarf compatriots over there. Although this guy has some ability and means, he has a lot of strength. Narrow-minded, short-sighted, only staring at the petty little profit in front of me.”
Yalpin judged the leaders of the three big gangs,
“It can’t be a great weapon! It can’t change the situation of ancient races!”
“It’s not Clive.” Roy turned his head, and his silver-gray eyes slowly scanned the faces of the six dwarves on the front and back of the carriage, and said slowly, “You, go to the Archbishop Cyrus of the Eternal Fire.”
聿—
The dwarf seemed to be frightened, so he pulled the reins, and the horse raised his front hoofs and hissed.
“Huh?” Alpin opened his mouth wide, with a **** expression, “We, dwarves, go and beat the eternal fire? Are you serious?”
“I…in this life…only believe in Mahakam Holy Mountain…” Bernie in the back row desperately shook his head, “I don’t believe it, what eternal fire!”
“Master Roy, everybody,” Reagan was even more incredulous, and asked euphemistically, “You didn’t kill hundreds of people in Eternal Fire. Your relationship with Eternal Fire shouldn’t be very good, right?”
is not too good, it should be the enemy.
Although the archbishop did not blame the demon hunter on the surface.
Roy’s approach, no matter how you look at it, is like pushing them into a fire pit!
“Sometimes, the facts are completely contrary to what everyone heard.” Roy said sincerely, “Alpen, Bernie, Reagan… If you believe us, you might as well go to the Norwegian City Dance Hall, find Dandrien, and convey my words. ”
The demon hunter looked around, the convoy drove into the endless wilderness, green vegetation, yellow soil, gurgling streams, the sky was high and the ground was wide, and the chest was clear.
“He will arrange for you to meet with Archbishop Sellers. After the chat, you will know what kind of character this archbishop is.”
Roy’s mind again came up with the expression of the Transfiguration Monster Gigi being tied to the stake, seeing death as home.
If there is anyone in this world who wants to eliminate prejudice between different races and make all living things equal, then there is no doubt that this is your Excellency.
Today’s Archbishop of Eternal Fire!
Moreover, there are hundreds of eternal fire temples and altars all over the northern border. The influence is second only to the goddess Meritelli. This huge organization has the slightest possibility to eliminate the barrier between ancient races and humans.
The ideals of dwarves such as Yarpan coincide with the shapeshifter, and they are simply the best partner!
“Isn’t Dandrien a lame poet?” Alpin squeezed the axe under his feet, wondering, “Why let the great bishop see us, a bunch of little people?”
“Don’t be ignorant of yourself. Masters have hunted dragons, petrified lizards, ogres…” Oaks broke his carrot-thick fingers and patted his horses continuously. “They are also great heroes.”
“Absolutely qualified to talk to Archbishop Sellers!”
The dwarves on the carriage looked tangled and hesitant.
“Even if you don’t see the archbishop, you should go to the city of Nuo to relax?” Although Serret didn’t understand Roy’s intentions, he still helped. “I promise, Dandrien will take care of your drinks and take care of you !”
“hiss—”
At this moment, the dwarves immediately put aside their responsibilities and worries.
“What are you waiting for? Dandrine, a good friend, I have made a deal!” Bernie couldn’t wait, with a certain vent in his tone, and there was a tear in the corner of his eye.
“Combine work and rest. If you are not happy, you need to relax!” Reagan nodded dullly, “Let’s go to Nuocheng!”
Yalpin thought for a while.
He didn’t understand why the Demon Hunter let himself go to Nuo City.
But the other party will not harm yourself.
If there are no masters in this battle, your six-man team will definitely be attrition.
What a great kindness!
Don’t say let him go to Nuocheng, let him go to the knife mountain, he doesn’t say anything!
Roy continued, “If you are interested, Coral can immediately open a portal to Nuo City for you!”
“Don’t worry about it!” Yarpan exchanged glances with his companions, “We will separate when we reach the Kodwin border.”
…
The next journey from the southern part of Kodwin to the territory of Tamoria, without the laughter and laughter of the previous week, the dwarves worry about Novigrad’s unknown future and have no interest in talking.
Only the most heartless Bernie can occasionally gag with children and have fun.
The children and the young witch hunters are in a different mood.
The smile on his face has decreased a lot.
“Teachers, we have won a big victory this time, why I have been uncomfortable in my heart.” Finally, after five days of driving, Karl, who could not bear it, found the cat vulture for advice. In the **** battle, they also killed a lot of people, but at that time they felt heartily.
But this time, I was panicked.
There is even a feeling of guilty conscience.
“When I dream, I always see the angry faces of those dead elves, dwarves, and halflings!” Monty shrank his neck and said in sympathy. Illavede died’, take the initiative to hit my sword without life!”
“Many people died!” He gestured slightly in a panic. On his pale cheeks, the pair of beast-like vertical pupils lost their sharpness and firmness in the past, “All blood!”
“It’s all blood!”
The eyes of a group of boys and girls sitting on the cart flickered.
The whole battle was under the care of the sorcerer and the witcher, unscathed, without a sword.
But the cruel shouts of killing in the battle, the splashing blood, the raging fire, and the most terrifying, devouring lava, left an indelible impression in the bottom of their young hearts.
War is far more terrible than the fight when they were walking on the streets!
Masyuu listened to his disciple’s question.
Instead of blaming him, he touched his silky hair with relief. The witch hunters also looked at him in a daze, while the dwarves were interested in observing.
“In fact, more than a year ago, after the First World War in Nuocheng, I was waiting for your question. I have not waited until today. If you keep not asking, I will find it strange if there is an improved version of the herb decoction. The problem, the preference for the bear pie decoction has weakened your feelings.” He looked around at the twelve apprentice witcher with ears pricked up, a soft smile appeared on his cold cheeks.
“But now I’m relieved, it turns out that everything is normal for you!”
The apprentices of the Demon Hunter were infected, they couldn’t help showing a smile, and let down their anxiety a little.
“Before this, the water ghost you killed the most was the water ghost. After all, human beings are different from the water ghosts. They are much more complicated, whether in appearance, character, or experience, and more importantly, they are of the same kind as us. Intelligent creatures.”
“In Nuocheng, we were surrounded by ambushes on all sides. To survive and kill…naturally, there was not much psychological burden.”
“But this battle is almost one-sided, and the Squirrel Party is at an absolute disadvantage.”
“Before the battle, His Excellency Alpin told you about the origins and great goals of this organization.”
“You have developed a sense of identification with them. So regret the killing!”
“This is normal!”
Plutons made a conclusion for their performance, but the conversation changed.
“But you don’t need to care too much…ask your own hearts, are you killing people for fun and for other evil purposes?”
A group of people shook their heads at the same time.
“For self-preservation, if you are merciful, now you don’t even have a chance to regret it. You are already lying in that pile of corpses! So no one can blame you, not even gods! As for nightmares, just do more and get used to it. NS.”
The apprentices completely let go of their hanging hearts.
“But bastards, please remember one thing,” Vesemir sighed, looked at the far end of the wasteland, the clear boundary line, and said with emotion, “No matter what war, there is no winner.”
“What brings both parties to the war is always only harm.”
“If there is a better way, one can win without swinging the sword once, and without a bloodbath! That would be the best choice.”
Geralt began to propagate his set of neutral theory along the way,
Do not use force?
The witcher apprentices did not listen to this suggestion.
“Geralt, when did you become the messenger of peace? Let your apprentices not do anything but reason with others. Wouldn’t it be abandoning their strengths?” Pauly Dahlberg looked at the pupils with entangled expressions. Good words to persuade, “According to me, you don’t need to scrupulously think so much, just shoot when it’s time to do it!”
Carl, Monty, and Chanem’s eleven buddies nodded like chickens pecking rice.
“If you… lose… die, it is the will of Mahakam Sacred Mountain!” Bernie took a bottle from his bushy beard and added a sip.
“No, the demon hunter doesn’t believe that, it should be fate!” Reso corrected in a deep voice.
“Fate will let you make the best choice!” Roy concluded his speech, slowly sweeping the apprentices’ faces that suddenly realized, “If you kill someone, there is no need to regret, guilt, or self-doubt.”
“Everything is the will of fate!”
“Ha ha!”
A group of big men in the horse caravan laughed endlessly!
The sorcerer shook her head and sighed.
“To that **** fate!” Alpin smiled heartily, and threw a bottle of wine to Carl.
“Respect for destiny!” Carl took a sip and passed on a friend.
…
There is no winner in war!
The soldiers won without bloodshed!
The ordinary students who have been studying knowledge and culture on the cart for several years have firmly remembered Geralt’s words in their hearts.
Their future has even changed for it!
…
After half a month.
The demon hunters and the dwarves separated at the border of Elland, hugged one by one after bidding farewell, and watched them head north on their way to Novigrad.
It took another three days, and the demon hunters came to the Meritelli Temple on the outskirts of Airland.
