The Journey of the Demon Hunter
Chapter 373
The conversation with Tishaya went well the next day.
The headmistress promised that she would send some warlocks to the castle to assist them in the development of potions and mutations, as well as the most important stabilization spell when needed. Just like in the previous period of Kelmohan, the sorcerer will help the demon hunter to conduct magical research, but when the sorcerer encounters difficulties, the demon hunter should also help the sorcerer as much as possible. Although the current Sinide Island Religion has become precarious because of the war, Tisya needs a trustworthy ally, a friend who can support her.
Nowadays, it is difficult for the mages to find allies in the north, and Ben Ade Academy chooses to lock themselves up and prohibit anyone from approaching in the name of magic experiment. In the plateau of Kovind, Ben Ade is full of snow and undulating mountain roads. They can easily block the mountain road leading to the college, but the Eritusa College on the island cannot. The warlocks cannot block the water surface, especially when there is anti-magic metal, Ben Ade can use magic to destroy the mountain road, but the warlocks cannot block the sea water with magic. The two are not the same difficulty at all.
"Perhaps... your students can spread out and find a safer place to study. When the war is over, someone will be watching there soon."
"Don't worry, here, only we teach those girls how to learn how to use magic." Compared to the situation after the coup, Tisya did not appear to be too pessimistic or optimistic. "Perhaps this is an opportunity to make our magic education more important. To get back on track, we should focus on the study of magic. We should be scholars and researchers, not politicians. Those who opposed me in the past have now come to Philippa, and no one in the cult will oppose my decision now."
"I hope you can succeed."
"I borrow your auspicious words." Tishaya nodded. "I want to wait until all this starts to work smoothly. I hope that one day I can see experts who use magic and people who understand magic and are good at fighting with swords together to deal with this. The magical disasters and monsters in the world are exactly what we should do. After too long time, we are about to forget what the ancient users of chaotic energy were doing."
"Yeah, this is us."
Zelin agrees very much.
The Serris of the Viper School will take the apprentice he finds to Sinide Island. He hopes that his apprentice can get in touch with the chaotic energy first. Those potions that contain chaotic energy must be better than the demon hunter's own deployment. The herbs can better adapt the apprentice’s body to changes.
They can't be like in the past. If they can, they hope that any child who accepts the trial of the grass can successfully survive the mutation. Although it is difficult, the demon hunters will try their best.
Regarding the Island Forest Farm, George said he would go there to reassure the workers there. After seeing the defeat of the White Rose Knights, Lambert went to Kyle Morhan. Resso sent the rescued elves to the Valley of Flowers, and it was estimated that they would return to the south. As for the soldiers and friends of George, they took a boat to Vizima after the battle, preparing to sign up for the new regiment of Temalia.
The wizards of Winterhold Academy have not left yet, but they will soon. They are now near the mountains, exploring new and strange things in other worlds everywhere. Especially the dwarves, but Zelin didn't think that the dwarves that disappeared in their world had anything to do with the dwarves that appeared here because of the intersection of the celestial spheres. Many races can be called dwarves.
After they return, Zelin will also be ready to set off. Counting time, soon, the unstable portal will open. He can only hope that this unstable portal can take him to a more normal world, whether it is similar to Rome or Skyrim. There are normal people who can communicate normally. Whether it was Yanan the last time or Losric before, it was not a good world. One was troubled by the ancient gods, and the other was facing extinction.
There is not much time left, but there is still enough time for Zelin to go to Brokleon’s Dryad territory with Francesca as he said before. After all, he has to help Foltest send the letter to him. He has been procrastinating for a while, and it's better to send things over before the portal opens.
Foltest seems to be trying to win over the Dryad, just like his attitude towards the dwarves, making the Brockleron Forest a de jure dominion of the Dryad, but subordinate to Tamoria in name. However, Vizima will neither send garrisons to Brockleron nor send tax collectors, and there will be no changes, except that in the future the forest on the map will be placed within the border of Temoria. The only thing the Dryad has to do is to not allow random attacks on humans near the forest and report to local officials before proceeding with any reproduction plan.
This letter can be regarded as an invitation letter. The emissary of Tamoria had been trying to contact the tree spirit before, but it would take after the war was over to determine all of this. Now it is impossible for the queen of the tree spirits to leave the forest, and it is impossible for Foltest to remove her energy from the war.
Of course, when he went to Brockley, there was another thing, to inquire about Geralt and Hilly. Since the coup, he has not seen any of them.
The traces outside the castle are basically cleaned up, everything is still going on in an orderly manner. Yusevka also has a plan of her own. She hopes to return to her old career in this world and open a clinic. The younger sister’s body still needs to be recuperated for a long time, and the damage to her is not small, but after the treatment, Yusevka does not need to stay by the bed all day, and she does not want to let her younger sister stay here alone. He didn't want to do nothing all day, so in the afternoon of the next day, the doctor found Zelin.
A clinic in the castle can not only ensure the health of the children trained in the castle, but also accept the residents of the floating port town under the castle for medical treatment. Sometimes they don’t need the help of the hunters. The fever is not because of a curse, but It rained all night.
Zelin is very supportive of Yusevka's idea, just as the expansion of the castle is about to come to an end, an area can be designated as the castle's medical area. Yusefka is very good at dealing with common diseases. After all, not all diseases in Yanan need blood therapy at the beginning. There are also some healing pills in that world, which are more effective and faster than herbs. And Yusevka learns very fast, about the herbalism of this world. Maybe when he comes back next time, Zelin can introduce a few medical-related people he knows to Yusevka. Just like Latis and Shani, or Regis.
"When I am away, Miss Doll can help you, if you have any needs, just go and tell her, she should be able to solve it."
"I will." The doctor smiled. "When you go out, pay attention to safety on the road. Remember to drink more water and eat less spicy food, it is not good for your mouth and stomach. Also, drink less, alcohol is not good for your liver. Good."
"No problem, I remember." Although the physique of the demon hunter wouldn't allow them to face such troubles, Zelin nodded, "I'll go first, see you later."
"Yeah."

ps: Have you seen my servant?
All in all, it's another friendly recommendation...
Chapter 682 Brockleron
"Do you want to...acquire the mining company of Kewell? Why do you have this idea?"
The road near Brockleron was dark and damp, and the moist mud and covered leaves almost covered the horseshoe of the rape. The road is looming among the lush foliage, here is Brockleron, whether it is winter or summer outside, the plants here will always maintain a vigorous appearance. This is a peculiar forest, and a more peculiar race settled here. Maybe, here is the most primitive forest on the mainland. The tree spirits used force and bows and arrows to protect this territory, and the towering giant trees inside.
"Recently, the Ebins sent me a letter. His Merchants Association has a northern headquarters in Kevel. He mentioned from it that the sales volume of Dimo Gold ore of Kevel Mining Company has plummeted. Their biggest customer is Eternal The Fire Church has temporarily cancelled all orders and cooperation. Their investors are withdrawing funds, and rumors have spread that Dimojin is lapsed and the remaining people in the mining company are trying to resell the company."
In the beginning, Zelin did not think much. In any case, even if the price they sell is cheap, it is not a number that a demon hunter can afford. Not to mention the maintenance of the castle and the need for coins in all aspects. Although the Southern Towson River Valley can provide some coins every six months, it only allows them to have some emergency coins in their hands.
Until Francesca mentioned something to him on the road.
Although Baihua Valley is located in the north, it is close to the Ponta River in the south, not far from many places in the south, especially Tousant. Francesca intends to find time to visit Tousant, hoping to cooperate with Tousant on wine. After all, Baihua Valley, as a newly established country, must start from scratch in all aspects. It can no longer be just a large gathering place of elves as in the past, but as a real country.
Maybe he can discuss it with Francesca.
"The price of Dimojin in the past was very high, and they put most of their energy on the mining of anti-magical metals. But they have a large area of mines, and the ore that is not as expensive as Dimojin is ignored and left in the mountains. There are many resources in the far north. A lot of anti-magical metals are found there. For good or bad, it is the first place where a lot of things related to chaotic energy have been discovered. The far north has never been visited. The Dimo gold mine was discovered. We can try to contact them."
Because of this failure, the church's confidence in the anti-magical metal effect was greatly reduced. Metal is still effective against chaotic energy, and they would not think that this is another supernatural force from another world. After all, even the portals connected to another world are related to chaotic energy. If you don't see the appearance of the other world with your own eyes, it is difficult to imagine those living conditions that are completely different from their world.
"Maybe..." The elf nodded. "I still have a deposit in the Vivaldi Bank. As long as there is enough deposit, they will present more and more things to us. Or wait until I and Anna from Tousant After the Duchess negotiated some valuable business agreements, I would ask my treasurer to learn about the mining in the Far North in the name of opening up new businesses." Francesca quickly found their difficulties." But we need money. To be honest, the first time I found out that my money might not be enough."
"My money is often not enough." Zelin shrugged. "I can only hope that this time I can reach a world similar to Rome that I have arrived in before, a world where I can earn a lot of gold and gems. Then, when I come back, Many of the problems we face can be easily solved."
Near Brockleron, Zelin and Francesca must ride there. There is no road there, and no one will go in this direction. The edge of the forest is overgrown with weeds, and the only way to distinguish the border is the Ribbon River, which is covered with pebbles and water plants. The water of the river is neither shallow nor deep, just as far as the horse's belly is. Although Francesca still wore a silk skirt, she used a little magic to ensure that the running water would not wet the hem of her skirt or flow into her soft boots.
A few steps away from the river bank, there is a pile of scattered horse skeletons, and weeds growing through the chest cavity dye the pale bones with a touch of emerald green. There are some smaller bones beside it, which are human bones. Before Verden's Erville fought with Brockleron, leaving many corpses outside the forest. The tree spirit is definitely not interested in cleaning them up, by the way it can be used as a warning. There is magic in the forest, so there is no need to worry about the appearance of scavenger monsters.
They didn't meet the tree spirit, but Francesca said that the queen of the tree spirit, Lady Esnier, already knew about the visit of the elves. They want to go to the place in the middle of the forest, Duncanal-the land of oak trees, the heart of Brockleron. That tree-spirit city in the forest canyon is also the place where the tree-spirit queen's palace is located.
There was a lingering chaotic energy everywhere in the forest. After crossing the Ribbon River, the concentration of this energy suddenly increased a lot. Zelin even noticed that his badge was shaking from time to time. This energy protects the forest and tree spirits, as well as those forest spirits and little fairies who also live in it.
"Ocera Canyon."
Francesca suddenly said, "There are hot springs and caves everywhere. It is a good place for healing and relaxing. The bushes are full of berries. If you want, you can also hunt some wild deer and roast venison. The unique spices of the tree spirits are rare delicacies."
The valley was filled with ethereal magical energy, and in this environment the Warlock was obviously in a good mood.
"It's like we're traveling." There are many fallen leaves under the feet, making the road very slippery, and the horses are walking carefully. Fallen leaves will provide nourishment for the land, which is a necessary part of the lush forest, chaotic energy will not affect this. The warm sun shined through the canopy on Zelin's face. He raised his hand and slightly blocked his eyes. "Only here, your attire fits the season."
"Don't you like this dress?" The elf raised his eyebrows.
"Of course not, I like it very much." Zelin stretched out his hand to pick up the branch that was just in front of him. "I like you, not the clothes on you."
"Who did you learn this from?" The elf slightly raised the corner of his mouth. "We will hurry up, and we will be able to meet the dryads in the Forest of Trees, not far from where they live."
Chapter 683: Mirva
The trees there are mostly oak, yew, and pecan trees. The circumference of these trunks is ten times the length of the arms. No one has ever measured how high their trunks are, and no one knows when these trees actually grow here. The roots of the trees are huge and crooked, and even the roots of some trees exposed on the ground are taller than the height of an adult.
The top of the valley was enclosed by the canopy of huge, verdant trees. The valley was immersed in mist and steam emerging from the ground. The steam emerged from the rocks. The valley was filled with a thin stream of water vapor, like a fairyland. Looking around, the vines are full of regular woods and zelkova trees. The drooping wicker and vines of the willow trees seem to be a curtain for hot spring caves. Under the intricately carved stone bridge, clear streams flow slowly.
This is the city of tree spirits.
The stone sculptures integrated with vines and grasses, and those huts that are almost entirely grown from trees, make it difficult for people to tell whether this is a forest or a city, or perhaps both. Houses are trees. The magic of tree spirits can make trees grow as they expected. They live in wooden houses, but they never need typhoid trees. Zelin rarely comes here, but sometimes he still buys some unique potions produced by Brockleron, such as the symbiotic buds of the vine roots of Kninhella vine and purple elderflower, which are very effective in treating fractures.
In the canyon cave outside the heart of the oak, Zelin saw Geralt who was almost healed. The tree spirit said that his leg bone was broken, but the magical effect of the forest essence spring water and the elderflower can make a person with a broken bone walk normally after more than ten days. Of course, the corresponding is pain. The sharp pain caused by rapid bone growth can make many people faint. Among other things, Zelin noticed that some squirrel party elves were also here. Dryads will not directly participate in the war, but they will accept wounded non-humans into the forest for treatment, which has been known for a long time.
"You look good."
The cave is very humid, but it doesn't make people feel uncomfortable.
"Triss used magic to bring me here, and the treatment of the tree spirit is very effective." It is hard to imagine that a person who moved so neatly was beaten to fractures in several places just a month ago. Wigwarts is a powerful and dangerous enemy. There is no doubt about this. "You are here. You can bring me a letter to Kyle Morkhan. I won't go back this winter."
