The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World

(Recommended background music for this chapter: "Kaer Morhen" Source: The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Soundtrack.)

The patter of raindrops hit the black cloak, and a group of six riders kicked and strolled forward on the muddy dirt road. The gray city wall can be seen in the rain curtain in front. Gos Velen has arrived.

It didn't rain in Velen for a few days, but it did rain outside Velen. Everyone galloped all the way in the rain.

Half an hour ago, the rain subsided, and Amavit slowed down the horse to let the horse rest a little.

At this moment, he was half asleep and half awake with his hood covered. The prince who had not slept all night was very sleepy.

The guards did not dare to urge him. His Royal Highness rarely lost his temper unless he did not get enough sleep. He has been like this since he was a child.

Drina had to protect His Royal Highness with another guard on the left and right to prevent him from falling off the horse.

Seeing that they were about to enter the city, Drina thought it was better to remind him: "Master, Master."

"Ah? Um, oh. Are we there yet?"

"Yes, Master, we are at Gos Velen." The guard pointed to the city wall in front and said: "Let's stay in the city and rest later?"

Amavit raised his head to let the raindrops fall on his face, and then wiped his face with his hand, "Then let's walk, I'm so sleepy."

Everyone accelerated their horses and rushed all the way to this city famous for trade, fishing, banks and sorceresses.

In the guest room of the famous Silver Heron Tavern in the city, Amavit ignored everything, took off his clothes and fell asleep under the blanket. So, the best thing to do on a rainy day is to sleep.

...

The next day, at the Silver Heron Tavern, after breakfast, Amavit called the guard: "Drina, come to my room, I'll tell you about the arrangements later."

"Sit down, Drina." His Royal Highness sat cross-legged at the end of the bed in a very unpresentable manner, yawning. He was not sleepy now, but he had slept for too long and was a little confused when he just woke up.

"I'll give you three days off, free to do whatever you want. Give them more money, go around Gos Velen, look for girls, it's a nice place except for the fishy smell of the dock area."

"Okay, young master."

"I'll stay in the tavern these days and won't go to Aretuza for the time being. I'll write a few letters. The letter to my father will describe the situation and my plans along the way. The other letters are for my mother and sister. You can take them back on the way. You don't have to stay here."

"Young master, I'm afraid you don't have anyone around you..."

"You know my character, I'm During the time of studying in the academy, I am too lazy to go out. What are you doing here? Are you flirting with girls in the tavern every day? Or staring at the sea in a daze? You are all great warriors. The capital needs you more. Father will make arrangements. That's it. No objections. "

"This..."

"Don't worry, Drina. I will explain it to father in the letter. Don't waste your life here. According to my current strength and Aretuza's situation, I can protect myself. If things really go wrong, I can still escape. Right?"

The guard nodded. He still agreed with this point. His own prince is very cunning and ordinary people really can't calculate him.

"Oh, by the way, you have to stop by Crow's Nest on your way back. Don't let the bartender go."

"Okay, young master."

"Don't do it yourself, let Baron Visserad do it. After a while, maybe a month, send someone to see how the bartender is doing."

"Yes, young master."

Amavit stood up: "Okay, let's do this for now, you guys go out and have fun. Gos Velen is still very safe, you can relax appropriately. I'll write a letter now."

"See you later, young master."

"Don't wait, get out and have fun."

...

Amavit has to write 4 letters.

The letter to his mother is very simple, basically about the bad weather in Velen, the water ghosts in Velen have been killed by His Royal Highness, the singing of the bard is so-so, the sea of ​​Gos Velen is so vast, Dean Tissaia asked me to say hello to you, etc.

The main theme is to report good news but not bad news, everything is fine, mother, don't worry.

The general meaning of the letter to his sister Fiona is that the weather in Velen is very bad, there are many monsters in Velen, someone plotted against the prince but was defeated by the wise and brave prince, and the warlocks of Gos Velen are very powerful.

The main purpose is to let Fiona know that the world is dangerous and magic is very powerful. Let her learn some magic to protect herself, and stop reading those brainless knight novels and comparing clothes and perfumes with noble ladies all day long.

After all, this is the only ancient blood besides him, and someone still cares about it. Finally, he asked not to share the contents of the letter with Adela, and it would be better to burn it after reading it.

The general meaning of the letter to his sister Adela is that the weather in Velen is very bad, the ground is full of mud, and the boots and pants are covered with mud that cannot be washed off, the lord of Velen is a stupid miser, the water ghost is easy to kill but the smell is too disgusting, the sorceress of Aretuza is annoying, and Gos Velen is full of fishy smell.

In short, the letter to Adela was all about how bad things were outside and good things were at home, and that traveling and adventure were not that interesting. Try to prevent Adela's restless heart from coming up with any ideas that would disturb the entire Vizima.

Finally, it was requested not to share the contents of the letter with Fiona, so as not to scare the timid Fiona.

The letter to the king's father was the most troublesome. First, it explained the abnormal weather in the Velen area and speculated on its source, saying that if this situation did not spread outside, it should be ignored and let Baron Vetherad deal with it himself, because Velen was of no value at the moment.

Second, he described the cause and effect of the night attack in detail, and suggested that His Majesty should hold back for the time being. He would have a talk after returning to Vizima, so it was not appropriate to write too much in the letter.

Third, he briefly listed his study plan in Aretuza to prevent His Majesty from sending people to disturb his studies.

Fourth, Drina and his men were excellent and loyal guards. He asked them to go back. After all, he was a pure otaku when he was studying. He hoped that His Majesty would give them important positions.

Fifth, he drew a picture of the magical place, hoping that His Majesty would send them alive and search for them all over the country. This was crucial to His Royal Highness's career of becoming stronger.

Sixth, long live the father.

Packed the four letters separately and sealed them with wax.

Called for lunch and ate it simply. Amavit felt like he had forgotten something.

It felt like getting up early to go to work, forgetting something when leaving the house but couldn't remember it. At noon, he slapped his thigh and said, damn, I forgot my keys at home. That's it. After several times, you will light up a skill, and you must recite it silently before going out.

This skill is no longer available when you are reborn, so Amavit looked through the luggage and couldn't remember anything.

After thinking hard for a while, oh, yes, there is one thing I haven't looked at.

Learning machine! There are still 5 attribute points that are not used.

In order to avoid falling flat due to strong physical changes and the influence of the external environment, His Royal Highness first set up magic traps on both sides of the doors and windows, and then lay flat on the bed in a very solemn posture, preparing for the first active point enhancement.

At present, Amavet's attributes are:

[Attributes]

[Name: Amavet]

[Race: Human]

[Gender: Male]

[Status: Normal]

[Energy (Chaos Magic): 567/567]

[Strength: 11 View Profile]

[Agility: 15 View Profile]

[Constitution: 12 View Profile]

[Perception: 12 View Profile]

[Spirit: 21 View Profile]

In the past few years, Amavet has not started lifting weights because he was worried that early strength training would affect his physical development. In several battles in Velen, because of insufficient strength, he tried to avoid fighting the enemy, and mostly used magic to solve the battle. In fact, he felt a little frustrated. This time, adding some strength will not affect development, right?

Strength +1, Strength +1, Strength +1

[Hint: Strength is related to physical strength, and the difference between the two cannot exceed 3 points. ]

Ah? Is that so? It makes sense if you think about it carefully.

When I punched the enemy, but he didn't fall, my muscles were torn. That means I was too strong and my physique was not up to standard.

The process of improving strength is not beautiful at all. First, my muscles all over my body ached. It felt like I hadn't exercised for a long time. I played basketball for an hour, and then had a fight with the opponent. The next day, I had to hold on to the wall when I went downstairs.

After that, my whole body became hot, and I could even hear the sound of blood rushing in my veins and the thumping of my heart that was about to jump out of my chest.

Muscles ached, and then my whole body became hot and blood rushed. It went on and on for a long time, and finally calmed down.

Surprisingly, Amavit did not reject this kind of pain.

Although his mind was groggy, he could feel the growth and thickness of muscle fibers, and the tearing and healing of tendons.

In his previous life, he thought that what he feared most was pain, but in fact, he didn't care about the pain every time he was accidentally injured.

The process of improving physique was very comfortable. Considering his physical age, he decided to add the remaining little to his physique. Then he was dazed in the comfort that penetrated into his cells.

After getting up from the bed and removing the magic trap, he took out his pocket watch and checked the time. Three hours had passed.

Amavet felt hungry, extremely hungry.

He called the bartender to order food for three people, mostly meat.

After a hearty meal, His Royal Highness collapsed in his chair. Ah, he survived. It was wonderful.

Take another look at the results of the enhancement:

Perhaps because the Quen Sign was used too frequently in the series of battles, the protective magic was upgraded by one level. It must be said that in small-scale battles, the Quen Sign is much more useful than the orthodox magic barrier.

…

In the evening, the guards came back and brought back a lot of Gos Velen's special food for His Royal Highness. Everyone knows that the prince is not so particular about food.

Amavit touched his stomach and was indeed hungry again. Adhering to the principle of being cautious, he used poison detection magic to verify and ate it all.

After dinner, the prince finally took the time to sort out the subsequent study plan.

I took out the notes before departure and opened the [Books] tab in the learning machine. I found that there were really a lot of things I needed to learn during the period of Aretuza College.

By learning the "Mind Bewitching" technique, I opened the door to mind magic, and the study of the Axi Sign can be arranged.

In addition, it is necessary to study the resistance and countermeasures of mind magic, as well as how to resist mind interference with non-magical means in a magic-free environment.

"Meditation Method" Because the environment was not safe enough when traveling in Velen, I only learned it superficially. I need to study it further and accumulate meditation experience every day.

"Cornan Doss Magic Manual" needs to be arranged. The various spells in it are very interesting. On the one hand, it has a wide range of uses; on the other hand, these spells with very low magic consumption are also very useful in low-magic environments; on the other hand, it can be applied to other situations and has a very good enlightenment effect on improving other spells and spell innovation.

The learning of "Eye of True Vision" is the focus. As for learning illusion? Forget it, he doesn't have that talent.

There are also some miscellaneous items that I have realized during this trip to Velen.

First, the illumination spell is okay when there are teammates, but the illumination spell is not flexible enough when fighting alone. You can choose spells such as "Dim Vision".

Second, the flash spell is very difficult to use when there are teammates, and you need alternative means, such as blindness and sonic boom.

Third, frost breath is very weak when dealing with sensitive enemies in open terrain, and you need alternative means, such as frost rays.

Fourth, how to hide yourself in a dark environment. Using a cloak is really detrimental to the image of a warlock.

According to the original plan, Amavit needs to follow a class in the academy for a period of systematic magic learning, mainly the study of various courses in the fourth and fifth grades of the academy.

The above is the learning content about magic.

Amavit is very envious of the various swordsmanship in "The Atlas of Sword Weapons and Swordsmanship in the Ming Dynasty". But due to the lack of suitable weapons, he can't practice. Practicing swordsmanship with a sword with blades on both sides is a joke, okay? I'm afraid I'll cut myself and bleed.

I have to order some suitable knives first, just enough for practice. It is said that Gos Velen's blacksmith shop is very powerful. Before entering the academy, I have to quickly copy the drawings from the learning machine. With the right weapons, the study and practice of swordsmanship and swordsmanship must be carried out every day.

Finally, I need to find a suitable professor in the academy to learn about alchemy and enchantment, and the problem of equipment needs to be solved.

...

After lighting up a lighting magic ball, Amavit began to copy the knife blueprint, and he also had to convert it to the size of this world, which was quite troublesome.

After drawing a blueprint of a goose-feather knife, the prince found that it was already late at night. Go to sleep, don't stay up late. Note ①
