God-level Demon Hunter

The latter's expression darkened, of course he knew about the famous Wild Hunt.

The bald man continued to introduce,

"In folklore, the Wild Hunt is a group of immortal ghost riders. They wear rusted armor, hold lightning-shaped swords, ride skeleton horses, and ride across the sky in groups. They usually appear in winter, Or the long night before the war, ravaging the world, burning orchards and houses, taking the living ... mostly children."

However, in fact, Roy knew well that the true identity of the Wild Hunt was the Ain El clan from another world, which was one of the branches of the elves.

They traveled across countless worlds and turned into ghost knights, just to find the successor of the ancient blood and regain the complete ability to travel through time and space.

"This is not a legend." At this time, Lei Suo gritted his teeth and said, "More than 20 years ago, because of the absence of Lord Evil Eye and two idiots, the Viper School failed to withstand the attack of the Wild Hunt, and the academy just passed the grass test. Lian's two children were all taken away by the Wild Hunting army. The school has no successors and is facing disbandment."

"Wait!" Roy said in surprise, "I hear what you mean, Wild Hunt has attacked Viper Academy more than once?"

"That's right..." Serrit's face on the other side was as cold as frost, "Each school has its own strength test, and the Viper Academy will accept the baptism of the Wild Hunt every ten years, and This is a test for newborn witchers."

"In fact, at the beginning of the school's establishment, the wild hunting was set as the enemy of life. Because the great founder, our mentor Ivar Xieyan, had a lofty ideal to defeat the wild hunting and end the world that they brought to the world. fear!"

"Little devil, you have to remember that this is also the ultimate goal of any Snake Sect demon hunter, and the priority is no less than that of revitalizing the Sect."

"I remember, and I promise you, defeating the Wild Hunt will be my life's pursuit..."

Roy made a solemn promise, and a question in his mind was answered.

"There are a lot of documents about wild hunting kept in the Snake faction, so that's what happened."

However, the Snake School is really a complicated school. It has carried out vicious assassinations, but it has lofty ultimate ideals.

"Guys, I've always been curious about the name of Your Excellency Ivar, why is it called Evil Eye, and what special significance does it have?" Such a surname does not exist in the world of demon hunters, and it must have been fabricated by the Lord himself.

"Because Lord Ivar..." Lei Suo's pupils showed reverence, "his eyes acquired a unique ability during the mutation...can see other infinite worlds, hence the name 'Evil Eye'."

"Through the evil eyes, he kept seeing the scenes of the ghost knights of the wild hunt looting, slaughtering and conquering. These ghosts became the teacher's obsession and the original intention of his creation."

So is the missing Snake faction founder still alive?

Roy had a premonition in his heart, maybe that Your Excellency was just lost in another plane.

Chapter 3 Man of Destiny

"We came to Sintra this time because of wild hunting?" Roy asked curiously,

"This is just one of the reasons," Reso shook his glass. "According to our investigation, in 1252 and 1253, the Wild Hunt briefly appeared in Sintra for two consecutive years."

"Once, twice was a coincidence. But three years ago, in 1258, when the Wild Hunt came to Sintra again, and repeated it in the same spot in such a short period of time, we realized it was no coincidence."

"There must be something about Cintra that attracts the Wild Hunt as much as they crave young witcher apprentices."

Lei Suo looked gloomy, "We came to Sintra to investigate the Wild Hunt's attempt. After all, the Viper Academy with a dying population is definitely not an opponent of the Wild Hunt in its heyday, and it cannot compete with them head-on..." He After a pause, he said in a deep voice, "It can only sabotage the Wild Hunt's actions secretly and weaken their strength."

"However, there were some accidents in the middle, and your grass trial, we delayed arriving at Sintra until now."

"Fortunately, it seems that the Wild Hunt has not succeeded, and the time is not too late." Oakes on the side interjected. They arrived in Sintra a month earlier than the two and had been investigating for a while.

"A wild hunting attempt?" Roy on the opposite side went through the two years mentioned by the witcher in his mind, and after a while he had a guess.

"1252, 1253, and 1258, these three years are all related to one thing."

In 1252, it was the witcher Geralt who resolved Downey's curse in the Sintra Palace, and indirectly contributed to the marriage between Downey and Princess Pavetta.

The one who attracted the Wild Hunt should be Princess Pavetta who is pregnant with the blood of the ancients.

The princess had a sudden burst of magic power at the banquet. At that time, she was pregnant, and the child in her belly was Ciri.

In 1253, Ciri, the son of the ancient blood, was born, which attracted the wild hunt again.

In 1258, Ciri returned from Skellige to settle in Sintra, often accompanied by her grandmother Calanthe.

So it seems that what the Wild Hunt has been pursuing has always been the ancient blood in her body.

Although he figured this out, Roy couldn't tell the truth to the three demon hunters.

This matter is related to Xili, the son of the plane, and the matter is of great importance. The people in the world who know this fact can count on one hand.

The more people who know, the more likely the news will be leaked. If there is a chain reaction that causes a huge change in the future situation, he may not be able to handle it with his current ability.

In Sintra, he would personally contact Ciri.

"Little ghost, do you know something inside?" After getting along for half a year, how could Lei Suo fail to see that he looked abnormal?

Roy sighed pretendingly, "I was just thinking, where should I start to find out the root of Wild Hunt?"

"In fact, there has been some progress," Oakes said. "We consulted residents who witnessed the wild hunt at different time periods, and after summarizing their scattered descriptions, I found that the wild hunt knight appeared in Sintra. whereabouts."

Sure enough, the snake demon hunters are all great detectives, and they are infinitely close to the truth.

"In 1258, a 5-year-old girl in a village outside the city suddenly disappeared, but an hour later she reappeared intact at the door of her house. Unfortunately, the child was so frightened that she lost her mind and cannot communicate normally. We have used some means Only then did I get the words out of her mouth."

Oakes recalled, "That evening, she was playing outside the woods not far from the house, when the sky suddenly became cloudy and thunderstorms broke out, she ran back frantically, but there were strange shouts, whistles, neighing and heavy hooves behind her. sound, and then she felt that she was being hugged as soon as her body was light."

"She said that she was carried on a horse, a horse flying in the sky. She looked back in horror, and saw a face with a scary mask and dark heavy armor. She heard a few words vaguely. "

"Sintra, the Man of Destiny... and a sentence with a strange pronunciation. We judge that it is a language similar to the ancient language."

"After that, she fell into a coma, and when she woke up, she was already outside the house. The girl had no physical injuries, but her spirit was severely traumatized. She often had nightmares and saw the terrifying face of Wild Hunt. But as a reward, we used Axi The seal healed her and made her forget those nightmares."

"Now, this man of destiny is our target. No matter what, we can't let Wild Hunt get her first!"

Roy took a sip of his wine, "What do I need to do?"

"Let's not mention the task, let's drink a few more rounds." Oakes put another glass of wine at Roy's table.

"Man of destiny...apprentice demon hunter...what happens to people who are taken away by wild hunting?"

"The Viper Academy has been studying this for hundreds of years. As a member of the academy, you are naturally entitled to know the inside story." Lei Suo said, "The Wild Hunt travels around the world, spreading war, disaster, and killing like a plague. Their careers are not smooth sailing, and they occasionally encounter people who are not easy to mess with, and there will be attrition of personnel."

"So they need fresh talent to replenish their ranks."

"what do you mean……"

The demon hunter lowered his head, "There was once a snake demon hunter who passed the trial in the same class as us and was taken away by the wild hunt. Later, in a battle with the wild hunt, we found him."

"Even if he put on the dark knight armor and flying wing helmet, and his body is ghostly, Heinz's iconic pupils and weapons are still there, but his people have been completely brainwashed and become puppets of the Wild Hunt."

"This kind of example is not uncommon. Most of the transformers will fight to the death for the wild hunt. A few lucky ones will be repatriated by the 'show mercy' wild hunt in their lifetime and return to the human world."

Lei Suo glanced over, "In terms of candidates to take away, Wild Hunt especially favors demon hunters, young demon hunters who are easy to reform, or powerful demon hunters. Weapons' sharper."

"Are you referring to me?"

"That's right, brat, you may also be taken away and brainwashed by the Wild Hunt."

"Then, if I'm captured, can anyone save me?"

Lesso shook his head, "Unless the Wild Hunt is actively released, I haven't heard of anyone who can escape the clutches of the Wild Hunt under other circumstances. But don't worry, as long as you don't take the initiative to expose the Wild Hunt's vision and stop them from moving forward road, they won't notice you."

Next, the three demon hunters exchanged glasses, leaving some time for the young man to digest the information.

"One more thing," he interrupted the small drinking party of the three of them, "If I remember correctly, Reso, you said at the beginning that the action of destroying the wild hunting was only one of the reasons for going to Sintra. Shouldn't it be Tell me the rest?"

"That's not your place to meddle."

"I don't know if I don't tell you?"

"Boy..." The drunken Oakes suddenly stood up and grabbed Roy's arm. "I heard from Lei Suo that you have good aptitude and learn things quickly. How is your swordsmanship?"

"This guy basically never praises others. If he can make him look different, I'm sure you won't let me down!"

"Hi..." Oakes hiccupped and dragged him out staggeringly, "accompany me to relax and refresh my muscles and bones, so as to get rid of the alcohol!"

As he spoke, Roy was dragged by him and forced out of the door.

"Plop—" the door was closed heavily, and a moment later, the sound of flesh colliding with steel swords and the panicked neighing of horses came from outside the door.

Serrit said in a low voice, "There is something in this kid's words, have you probed him with Axis?"

Lei Suo's face became very strange when he heard this. As early as the first day on the road, he tried the Dharma seal... He could instill knowledge into his brain, but he couldn't ask anything, as if there was an invisible anti-interrogation device.

"He is different from ordinary people, but he is trustworthy!"

The bald man looked out the door with gloomy eyes, "We all know that the source of suffering in this world is not only wild hunting, but also politics."

"He's the most potential witcher I've ever met... I've considered it... exposure to the dirty business might destroy him."

"It's not like what you said... Besides, he is so clever, he will find out sooner or later."

"Okay... keep it secret! Try to make him an orthodox witcher!" Serrit shrugged helplessly in the face of Lesso's fierce eyes.

"Let's talk about something serious. Verdon's messenger has been in Sintra for a month, and soon the princess should be sent to get engaged. Also, the army stationed by Ihrenwald has added a Skanner brigade. Is Calanther going to do something here?"

"We're not professional spies. We just need to deliver the news, and we'll pay off the favor. We'll completely cut off contact with them in the future."

Chapter 4 Discussion and Arrangement

Overgrown yard.

"Bang, bang, bang..." Amidst a series of violent hissing in the air, the two figures collided fiercely.

In an instant, a large number of sparks poured out from between the striking blades.

A ghostly figure appeared, with a dagger in his hand spinning around his wrist, dragging afterimages.

The target of his attack maintained a solid defensive posture, his eyes firmly locked on the flying sword shadow, and the sword and body smoothly switched between the five starting positions.

Block, counterattack.

"Chong!"

After a powerful slash, Arondette was caught by two light daggers. The blades were in a stalemate, and the sharp eyes of both sides collided with sparks.

"The reaction is too slow!"

Oakes grinned his pale gums, a grin appeared on the corner of his mouth, and jumped back like a big cat.

"Shua, Shua!" The two daggers twirled nimbly in the palms of their hands, bowed and stepped on their feet, Oakes stuck out his scarlet tongue, licked the daggers excitedly, and began to slowly circle around the young witcher. Pace slowly.

"call……"

Roy held the long sword slantedly in his blue-veined hands, maintaining a T-step under his feet, and the tip of the sword moved with the ghostly figure like a magnet.

In less than five seconds of handover, the hair on his forehead was already drenched with cold sweat. Apart from the difference in strength, after entering the battle, Oakes' eyes, posture, and voice mixed together, creating a terrifying aura that oppressed him. heart, nerves.

This is the gap in actual combat experience.

"Plop, plop." The beating heartbeat exploded in the eardrums, the blood in the chest was rolling, and the adrenaline was flowing in the body.

But he didn't dare to move around, his reaction and speed were completely at a disadvantage, so he had to choose the strategy of defensive counterattack.

The guy on the opposite side was a seasoned assassin, he just walked around him in a leisurely manner, exerting pressure with eyes, noises, and posture, and never shot rashly—until a certain angle, his footsteps converged.

Oakes flipped the sharp dagger in his hand, and then a glare of sunlight was reflected into Roy's pupils through the blade of the sword, instantly dazzled and distracted!

The eyes of the figure on the opposite side burst out, and took the opportunity to kick off the ground suddenly, rubbing his body and going straight up.

And Roy relied on the instincts honed between life and death several times, and with the left toe as the center of gravity, Roy swung the sword with both hands against the direction of the dagger attack, twisting his body and slashing.

With the crisp sound of "Bo", the yellow light was extinguished, and the Kunen shield was shattered, while Wilt, who was on the sidelines, stared, raised his front legs and wailed.

"I lost..." Roy lowered Arondette in his hand, feeling the coldness on the back of his neck, his limbs were stiff, and his face was slightly disappointed.

"Hi'er... you're very good, and the way to deal with the last move is fine." Oakes put the dagger back into the belt buckle on his chest with an expression of appreciation, "You almost hit me just now, and whoever will win when the time comes not sure."

If he hadn't relied on his strong balance and flexibility to forcibly turn his body in mid-air, he wouldn't be able to dodge Roy's full blow.

"Speaking of which... Did I drink a little too much... Hiccup... Why does my body feel stiff for no reason... My mind is blank."

Roy heard that the depression in his heart eased slightly. Oakes' symptoms were not caused by drinking too much, but because of his own skill - shock, but this guy's willpower is also 9.5, which is exactly the same as his own, and the stiff time he suffers is only one hundredth of a second , far from enough to turn the tide of the war.

"You look so ugly, have you been hit? To be honest, apart from your weak foundation in swordsmanship and unnatural connection, your overall performance is not at all like a demon hunter who passed the green grass trial for less than half a year...Let me think..." Oakes lifted his hood and rubbed his greasy yellow hair, touched his chin and looked Roy up and down,

"Your combat power is about the same as mine, and you can barely deal with a wild hunter. No wonder Lei Suo attaches so much importance to you."

"Wild Hunt? How much strength did you use just now?" Roy asked unwillingly,

"Almost three or four points." Oakes yawned.

Three or four points?

Roy was startled, he could only force out one-third of this carefree guy's strength.

Looking back now, he could feel that Oakes' dagger swordsmanship was sharper and deadlier than Lei Suo's!

"The way of the witcher, I'm still a rookie..." Roy sighed, and turned his gaze to the corner of the yard, "What are those wooden stakes and sandbags for?"

"You will know soon." Oakes smiled mysteriously.
