The Journey of the Demon Hunter
Chapter 1113
The knight sipped on the ground, as if to throw up something dirty. "Standard warlock style sophistry, you just burned the body? This is a fact, what can be justified? You have to go to the Knights camp with us, and the pious priest will judge whether you have used evil magic to frame goodness. Good people."
"The corpse was burned to prevent monsters from reappearing and attacking nearby villages."
"Ha! No one ever burned corpses in ancient times. The corpses were all lying in coffins, hidden in the blessings and mourning of their relatives. According to your statement, wouldn't the human villages have long ceased to exist? Generally speaking, Refining pharmaceutical water, burning dead bodies, and boiling soup with cats and birds are all signs of evil witchcraft."
"Usually, non-stop spitting is a sign of oral lesions. You'd better go to the hospital and spend money to ask a doctor to have your tongue cut off."
"You provoke me again and again, Demon Hunter!"
"Ah, it turns out that among the knights, to be called a dog means praise?"
Suddenly, on the other side of the forest, several people on horseback sprang out. The leader wore a blue and white shirt. Flame Rose's horses were frightened, their front hoofs stood up, and the followers had to pull the reins with all their strength to calm the mounts.
"What time is it now, everyone." The leader has a light wheat-colored frayed hair. He rode up with the four knights and walked towards Zelin. "Hey, demon hunter, your horse escaped back to the camp last night. I thought you were in trouble, so I rushed over when I saw the thick smoke."
"You are right, Siegfried." Zelin glanced at the Knight of Flame Rose in front of him. "Trouble has already come."
"Sir Kerm." Siegfried did not dismount, he walked to a place less than five meters away from Kerm, looking down at him from top to bottom. "What can you do with the demon hunter hired by our Vizima Knights? We have three soldiers missing in the forest, so we hired a demon hunter, why would he stand in front of you, you and us are missing? Does the soldier matter?"
"The demon hunter you hired is suspected of using witchcraft. We want to take him back to investigate." Kom said stiffly. "Do you want to protect him? Our Flame Rose has only left Vizima for a few days, and the Knights of Tamoria have become a garbage dump with witches and mutants?"
"In that case." Siegfried frowned. "Then don't bother you. There is also a chaplain in the Vizima Knights camp. He is a very pious priest and vowed to dedicate his life to the cause of the gods before breaking the evil. No evil can escape him. So we will deal with this matter. Our pastor will investigate this matter carefully."
Before the other party could say anything, Siegfried beckoned, and another knight came up with a horse.
"Get on your escaped horse, Demon Hunter, and go back to the camp with us. The priest is waiting for you in the camp."
"Guarding the villain will be condemned, Siegfried!" Kom said. "The gods will punish you!"
"The gods will not punish good people, Kom, he will only throw lightning on bad people." After Zelin mounted his horse, Siegfried waved. "Let's go, back to Lida Fort!"

There are straight poplar trees on both sides of the path, the early morning sun is still hiding behind the clouds, and there seems to be a lingering smoke and fog between the treetops.
"Have you found a clue? How is it?"
"It's a clue, not an evidence."
"Are Prince Balsey and Princess Aneth still alive?"
"I can't say that they are still alive, but I have not found evidence of their deaths."
"That's good." Siegfried sighed. "That's good. It's right to entrust you to do this kind of thing. You have done things that we haven't been able to do for days."
Zelin rode on the horse, walking side by side with Siegfried in the forefront, and the other three knights followed five steps away.
"They were attacked, they were in ambush. Someone was in ambush in the forest ahead of time and attacked while the convoy was camping. I found these two things on the scene." Zelin took out the arrow and the badge. "Look at it."
Siegfried took the arrow and frowned. "Nilfgard's standard weapon?"
"You know too?"
"My father fought in the First World War. He was in Upper Sorden. Although he was not in Sutton Hill, his armor was shot by an arrow like this. He took the arrow back. I know only Nifoga Germans would use such an arrow." Siegfried returned the arrow to Zelin. "What's the other? Badge?"
"I haven't inquired about this kind of news for a while." In the past, Zelin knew a lot of news about famous underground gangs and mercenaries, people like Klinfried’s Three Musketeers, but in the past few years, he Either you are running around for something, or you are in other worlds against different enemies. He hasn't stopped for a while to find out what new famous adventure heroes or notorious mercenary troops have appeared in this world. "Who does this belong to?"
"Ah, let me see." Siegfried narrowed his eyes and stared at the badge, then turned to look at the back of the badge. "Aren't these the Carrias brothers? They have also come to Lomune."
"It just appeared recently?"
"It happened a year ago." Siegfried returned the badge to Zelin. "At that time, the mayor of Karias hoped that someone could clean up the wolves on the hillside east of the city. Those wolves would even rush into the village in the middle of the night and kill the livestock. Later, the five brothers accepted the commission and entered in the morning. In the mountains. For three consecutive days and three nights, people did not see them again, nor did they see the wolves. When people thought they were all dead and planned to commemorate them at the local church, the five men dragged the body of a werewolf. I came back. The next day, people went to the mountain. There were almost forty wolves on the mountain. Two people were disabled for life. The local mayor gave them a bonus for a manor that lost their owner because of an attack by the wolves. Five There are only three brothers who are still working as mercenaries, and people call them Brother Carrias."
"The werewolf leading the pack of wolves? Well, it is indeed dangerous." Zelin moved his shoulders. "Do you know where they are in Lomugne? I think they should explain why the badge representing them appeared on the scene of the attack."
"They have to explain." Siegfried nodded. "What else is there to find, Demon Hunter? Why is the convoy being attacked in such a remote place? The road they took was not to Lomugne, but to Shaylawade."
"That's what I want to say." Zelin handed the investigation report to Siegfried. "It is believed that when the convoy arrived at the crossroads to rest, a messenger from Lida Fort arrived at the camp and handed the letter to the commander in the team. The next day, they entered the forest. It now appears that they entered the forest immediately after entering the forest. Changed the path, instead of continuing to go straight to Lidarburg, but detouring to the north. The reason for their change must be because of the letter, but what is it? Who wrote the letter? What is the content of the letter? I don’t know, but I think if we can figure this out, we can find the master behind the attack."
"Twenty days ago, Fort Lida." Siegfried touched his chin. "At that time, many people had just arrived. By the way, you can investigate the representatives of the noble coalition army."
"Aristocratic coalition forces, did they send representatives?" Zelin sighed. "How do I feel that anyone will come to Lomugne as a representative."
Zelin certainly knows what the noble coalition is, the Tamorian rebels centered on the Baron La Varetti. Of course, Foltest is temporarily unable to govern. In order to integrate the country, Natalis established the governing committee as the regent. There are seven members, of which three are leaders of the rebels. So they changed and became the pillars of Tamoria.
"Baron Arian is their representative. I know Arian, he is a real knight, but everyone else is a group of villains in gorgeous clothes." Siegfried said. "I will not slander anyone behind their backs, even if they stand in front of me, I will judge them like that. A group of villains will definitely not have any good ideas. By the way, their other leader, Baron Kimbert, is also here, and With his personal army, there are almost two hundred people stationed in the east of the Tamoria camp."
"No, this shouldn't be." Zelin frowned. "When the nobles rebelled, their purpose was to support Prince Balsey on the throne. If Prince Balsey becomes the new king, they will be very happy? What reason do they have to ambush Prince Balsey and Princess Aneth. "
"Perhaps to split Temalia." Siegfried's brows were filled with sadness. Although he is not from Tamoria, the knight requires loyalty and integrity. He swears to the banner of Tamoria, so he will consider Tamoria before dismissing his position in the Knights. "If next, no king can sit on the throne, Tamoria will split into one counties and dukes. Prince Balsey and Princess Aneth are the last heirs and the last crown princes of the Maribo dynasty. , If the two of them die, Tamoria will disappear. Anyway, you can find out."
"Who else is in Lomugne?"
"Earl Maravill, he brought four hundred heavily armed soldiers and mercenaries to the west of the Tamoria camp. Marshal Natalis is the representative of Tamoria, and he has a thousand soldiers under him. ." Siegfried counted one by one. "Oh, yes, the queen of Ladovide, Princess Yada is here too. She is in the camp of Redania. She was the first to come, so she might know something."
"Princess Yada..." Zelin hesitated. "How is she?"
"Not very good." Siegfried shrugged. "Illness is plagued. People originally hoped that she could give birth to a prince who could inherit the thrones of Redania and Tamoria. However, if her physical health continues to deteriorate, it is estimated that next year or the year after, we will participate in her It's a funeral."
In the distance, the bustling gate of Lida Fort gradually appeared in people's sight. The sky was gloomy, the morning sun was blocked behind, and the earth could not get a glimmer of morning light.
After bidding farewell to Siegfried, Zelin first found an inn and washed his body. Ghoul blood is a good magic material, provided that they stay in a glass bottle safely. After Zelin changed into a new shirt and retrieved the armor from the washerwoman of the Vizima Knights, it was past noon.
Lida Fort goes to Lomugne through a long narrow path, one side is a high cliff, the other is a cliff, but one side is at the bottom of the cliff and the other is at the top of the valley. Those who fall will have to fall dozens of meters before they fall into the Ponta River. There is a creek that divides the road into two, and there is a wooden bridge over the creek, and 80% of it was built recently. A roadblock was placed on the bridge, and a long wooden stick was placed on the tripod with a triangular head, blocking the way. Soldiers with halberds stood before and after the wooden sticks. They were wearing leather jackets decorated with buttons, and they also wore chain hoods on their heads. Nearby were knight guards from Kodwin, Redania and Temaria. .
After checking the pass, a Kodwin knight waved his hand to signal the soldier to remove the walking barrier.
"You can go in, Demon Hunter." The knight handed the pass to Zelin. "But you better pay attention to your every move, we will stare at you."
Walking up the mountain road, Zelin quickly saw the walls of Lomugne in the valley. This is a city of lizard people, located in a valley, surrounded by steep cliffs, and only a long bridge allows outsiders to enter the city. The city wall is composed of huge round stones, glued together with asphalt, standing in the distance, looking like fish scales growing on the city wall. The top of the towering city gate is inlaid with a huge oval-shaped granite. The rocks are carved with waves like waves. This makes the demon hunter think of some kind of one-eyed octopus living in the deep sea, and that eye is staring. Anyone who enters the city.
"I don't care who gives you any order." Suddenly, a female whispered voice came into the ears of the demon hunter. "I just want to know the result, know the answer, the answer! Tell me what happened outside, what the result was, I want them, and get them right away!"
Zelin followed the voice and saw a woman wearing a long skirt and a triangular turban standing on the long bridge under the city gate, reprimanding the three soldiers. The woman turned her back to him, but Zelin could still tell by her voice who this person was.
He slowed down and walked over.
"Your Highness?" Ze Lin asked tentatively. "His Royal Highness Queen Yata."
The woman was stunned for a moment. She turned her head abruptly. The moment she saw the Demon Hunter, a trace of confusion appeared in her eyes. She scratched her cheek, as if trying to search for Zelin's name from memory. After a few seconds, she patted her hands.
"Ah, Demon Hunter! You were at the banquet that day...Uh, what's your name?"
"Devil hunter Zelin."
"Zelin." Yada sighed. "It's nice to see a helpful demon hunter here. Three of you, go away, don't bother me." She waved to the soldiers behind her. "You don't need you anymore, I will find other helpers to help me investigate this matter."
