But it didn't take long for the sound of horse hooves from the back of the forest to attract the attention of the demon hunter. Few people dare to ride a horse and run in such a dense forest, it is easy to trip or be knocked down by the sticking branches, unless the person has confidence in himself or knows the forest well. Zelin turned his head and saw Milva running over on her mount Moreau.

"Devil hunter, do you know which way your companion went?"

As soon as we met, before there was time to ask, the huntress asked Zelin directly, "That white-haired man, white wolf. Do you know which way he will go to the south?"

"Why ask this?" Zelin asked curiously. "Last night, you still sneered at his decision. I thought you would go to a tavern in a village outside today to sell rabbit skins and rabbit meat."

"I want to know what road he is going on. If he is faster, I can still take a shortcut to get in front of him to stop him." Milva's mount snorted, walking back and forth, seeming to be with his master. The same anxious, or uneasy. "This should have been something you did. I thought a colleague’s advice would make him calm down. In the end, both of you are the same. I will catch up with him and make him change his mind."

"He should go along the Libang River and enter the Elven Road." Zelin said to Mirva. "If you want to find them, you'd better avoid the army patrols. Good luck."

Without saying much, Milva turned and urged the horse to run to the south of the forest.

Before the opening of Chapter 686

The elves and Zelin separated in Hofburg. She has to go back to the Valley of Flowers to deal with the rest. The number of elves there is not too large. Everything started from scratch. Now everything is about Francis. To deal with it, they haven't even built a decent city hall. However, as the population increases, these problems can be solved.

"This time, be careful when you go to the other side of the portal. If you feel that the situation is not right or there are obviously no intelligent creatures, come back immediately. I will try to get in touch with you within three days after the portal is opened."

"No problem. Also, be careful when you go to the south. I don't think everyone will greet you with a smile."

Years of war have made the empire become unstable. Nilfgard used war and diplomacy to annex the southern countries for hundreds of years, but since Enhill came to power, the empire has experienced the scale and intensity of the war. Far more than before, when they were in the South, they had never encountered the same fierce resistance as the current northern countries. It can be seen from this war that many people in the empire were dissatisfied with Enhill's forcibly pushing the war. A north elven king goes to the south, especially since this elven kingdom has established diplomatic and trade relations with the northern countries on the bright side, it is inevitable that some people will have some bad ideas.

But Francesca was very confident in herself.

"Don't worry, when I was just a warlock, I often dealt with northern politicians. They will not be more difficult to deal with than northerners."

Before parting, they stayed in Hofburg for another day, and it was not until the next day that Zelin rode his horse towards Mahakam after seeing the elves return by boat.

The expansion of the castle is coming to an end.

Like the previous Kyle Mohan, the expanded appearance allows them to divide different areas, whether it is a different school area, a research room or a forging workshop. Zelin, the forging site before the Dragonborn left, helped her expand a bit and cleared the accumulated rocks in many underground caves. This castle may have been used by the first human pioneers to explore the rocks, but since they finally abandoned it, they must have found nothing.

Wolves, cats, bears, poisonous snakes and griffins, this castle has basically completed Zelin's initial vision. If he can, he doesn't mind to learn about the Flying Lion School of the Far East. It is said that this school specializes in the use of bombs, and has little research on swordsmanship and magic seals or potions. However, all the understanding of the Flying Lion School is based on hearsay. After Zelin comes back next time, if there is nothing wrong with the Far North, he can go to the place close to the Serekania Desert and find the Flying Lion. Of the trail.

Everything in Ailand returned to normal. The facts proved that there was no deer head spirit at all, and even a ghost was not found. The only gain was that in the innermost part of the forest, George found a small Anglade insect swarm. But as long as some monsters can be killed, the people in the forest farm can work with confidence, although the place where the insect swarm is located is far away from where they work.

But when he came to Mahakam, Zelin noticed another group of people who did not belong to the castle. A group of dwarves are outside the castle, seeming to be surveying something. When the demon hunters walked over, they did not stop their work, only a person who appeared to be the leader came out. These dwarves are all wearing iron armor, and Zelin can guess who they are from their outfits-guardians of Mahakam, soldiers under the dwarf elder Hogg.

"Oh, demon hunter, you are also the demon hunter in this castle, right?"

The appearance of these dwarves didn't seem to be much different, with big beards and small eyes. Zelin looked at them back and forth, and finally nodded.

"Yes, it's me." Zelin looked at these dwarves. They were not close to the castle. They were just outside the castle, where the soldiers of the White Rose Knights fell. "What are you doing here?"

"Ah, great, someone will finally come out to make sense." The dwarf leader patted his leather-gloved palm, and the long-handled axe leaned on his shoulder. "We are dwarves working for Elder Hogg, we all listen. Now it’s about the fact that you lit the White Rose Knights’ buttocks and let them escape. That’s wonderful. The scum in the group of humans never got close to your castle. It’s not just that we like this story, but also Elder Hogg, So he sent us to learn more about the details of the time. He liked this story very much."

Inquire about intelligence.

Hearing this, Zelin understood the purpose of these dwarves. The demon hunters defeated the White Rose Knights, especially when the opponent had anti-magical metal. The team’s combat effectiveness is not weak. The dwarves of Mahakam are expected to encounter a lot of trouble when fighting with them, but the demon hunters did not lose anyone, and even the enemies were defeated before they even touched the wall. Up. Hogg is a shrewd dwarf, and if something is beyond his expectations, he must want to figure out what is going on, and then reassess.

The dwarves know ore very well, and they won't believe the rumors that Dimojin suddenly failed. However, the mines in the Mahakam Mountains do not produce Dimo ​​gold ore. Zelin doesn’t have to worry that the dwarves will conflict with him over matters in the Far North. In fact, the dwarves would be happy to suggest their only competition. Or, there are problems and troubles in the mining industry in the Dragon Mountains.

"Please, we just want to find out what happened, and then go back and report it to the elder." The dwarf leader lowered his eyes and looked aggrieved. "But the people in the castle do not allow us to approach at all, and they are not even willing to let us stand. Ask under the wall."

"Then you don't need to go there, just ask me if you have any questions." Zelin got off his horse and put his arms around his chest in a waiting look. "Hurry up, it's getting dark, I don't think you will like it either Stay outside when it's dark, right?"

There is never a lack of monsters in the mountains, and Mahakam is no exception.

"Well, we actually don't understand a bit. We don't know how to report to the elders." The dwarf rubbed his hands. "How did you throw the fireball into the enemy team? They have anti-magical metal, and the fireball can't take effect. ."

"It's very simple." Zelin snorted. "Pour oil on the stones of the trebuchet, light them and throw them out. Anti-magic metal is not effective for this kind of thing."

"But your oil will ignite the trebuchet together?" said the dwarf. "You can't waste a trebuchet just to throw a burning stone."

"Isn't it enough to make a metal tossing rod?" Zelin asked, "What's so difficult?"

"Uh...you mean a catapult made of metal?"

"Of course." Zelin nodded. "If there is nothing else, I'm going back. You guys should hurry up. The demon bird likes lone prey at night."

Chapter 687: Unstable Portal

Zelin did not lie to the dwarves. The people in the castle did not use the fireball skills of warlocks and wizards to deal with the soldiers of the White Rose Knights who were besieging outside. They just used some kind of hot stones to deal with them, made of metal, Metal launcher. Of course, believe it or not is a matter for the dwarves, this is not the scope of Zelin's consideration.

After these dwarves left and passed the corner of the mountain road, Zelin circled the battlefield outside. Frid is not here either, she is probably still near the floating port, or elsewhere. The nun is often invisible, so that Zelin is a little unsure about where she likes to stay. It may be near the floating port, or it may be sitting silently in his room. However, since learning about the existence of the eternal fire, Frid seemed to find what he wanted to do in this world. No matter what she intends to do, people in the church estimate that she will not be able to live in peace for some time in the future.

"It's really time for you to come back."

When Zelin walked back to the entrance of the castle, the young Renn stood there. "The dwarves are digging their heads at the door, and they are also investigating the traces left by the battlefield. We should hurry up and destroy all the remaining armor and siege equipment as soon as possible. Clean it up. They may be trying to steal something or inquire about some secrets. When they came, I said that the castle cannot be opened at will, and it needs to wait for you or George to come back."

"No, don't care about them." Zelin shook his head. "Let them guess. The more you try to hide the secret, the more they will try to find the answer they want. Leave this to them and they will get stuck. Go into the ruins of this battlefield." Zelin walked into the city gate, and Ren lowered the iron gate from behind. "They will never think of what happened here."

Just let the dwarves of Hogg think that the demon hunters are so lazy that they are unwilling to deal with the remaining battlefield debris. They will be very happy, and then they will study those meaningless things, clues that may really be valuable. George was cleaned up the night after the battle.

"Geralt is in the Brockleron Forest. I have already seen him." When Rape returned to the stable, Zelin said to Renne. Traveling to the south. His friend Dandrien is with him." There may be Mirva, and Zelin could tell that the huntress should go to help the White Wolf. "So, he shouldn't return to Kylemore this winter. Sweat."

"Okay, I will bring the news." Ren spread his hands. "It just so happens. You are back. I want to say goodbye to you. I should go back to Kyle Morhan. It's really nice to be able to train these kids here. , I will come back in the spring. I have told George the rest of the matter, and I will leave when he comes back, and I will definitely be able to rush back to Kyle Morhan before the heavy snow covers the mountain."

"Pick a good horse, Rennes, it will make you faster. Oh, yes, **** was given to me by a good acquaintance of mine. You can pick other ones." Zelin looked at the castle. Stables, there are a lot of horses here. Although forage expenditure is a sum of money, riding horses can greatly shorten the time for demon hunters to complete their commissions in other places, so that villagers in villages that have erected demon hunter signs will meet I believe that the hunters in these mountains will come out to help them when they need it. At the same time, they can expand the scope of their commissions.

After all, it is too late to make an emergency commission with two legs.

"Ha~ I won't be polite."

Saying goodbye to Rennes, Zelin walked up the steps to the castle. The energy of the dwarves is still on this Civil War. They will not think about doing anything to the castle located on the edge of Mahakam. In particular, defeating the Knights of the White Rose will let Hogg know that this castle does not need it now. It can also survive by relying on the sorcerer sect.

On the castle, walked to the second floor, just to see the doctor memorizing something in a small notebook. Amelia didn't know where she went to play again. Since Marty gave Amelia a talisman that could temporarily hide her antlers, the silver-haired girl should not be tied to this castle. There is no need to worry about her safety. After all, she is the bishop of the healing church in the past, and she must know and understand much more than it seems on the surface.

"Is it okay?" Zelin walked over. "Is she awake?" Of course the demon hunter pointed to the young Yusevka. "Is it writing something?"

"Yeah, I'm writing a diary." Yusefka closed the book and put down the pen. "There are too many novel things here, I must write them down. The door opened some time ago, and Irene took Yanan's clinic She handled it well, and she always wanted to hear the stories here." The diary has been turned over almost thirty, and Yusevka is obviously full of energy during this time. "My sister has woken up, but she is still very weak. Can’t walk around.” The doctor smiled. “But I’m very satisfied. We can all survive the disaster and start a better life. What more do I need to ask for.”

There were more books on the bookcase in the room whose binding style obviously belonged to Yanan. Irene helped Yusefka to send some books outside of blood therapy to prepare for the next clinic plan.

Yusevka stood up, stretched, and walked out of the shutters on the second floor, where he could overlook the courtyard below.

"You are going to work again, right?" the doctor asked. "The elf talked to me before and helped me understand the situation here. You must go out to work again, probably in a few months. To come back?"

"Yes, Yusevka." Zelin walked to the doctor and leaned against the window. "It only takes a month for short words, long words...I don't know how long it will be, but I don't think it will be too long. "After more than two years, Zelin can almost figure out the cycle of the portal. The last time I went to Skyrim in summer was the longest, six months long, and when the chaotic energy was relatively stable, it could be turned on once a month.

"Go to work without worrying about it. I like a person who concentrates on work. I think this is you. You must not be free." Yusevka looked down. "I promise you that when you come back , There will be a great clinic in the castle, and the doll lady is an excellent assistant. We will take care of it."

Zelin took Yusevka's shoulders, "Don't tire yourself."

"It's easier than Yanan's job." Yusevka's face showed a gentle smile. "I think, wait for me..."

But before she finished speaking, shouts rang from a room on the second floor.
