The Divine Hunter

Everyone stayed in the lake bottom laboratory for two days.

During the period, the sorceress drew countless tubes of blood for the bald man, almost drawing him to anemia. Repeated observation and testing confirmed that Lesso was in good condition and had a perfect mutation effect.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Rita Ned sealed the portal to the interior of the laboratory from the bottom of the lake, and re-established a portal to Novigrad.

Forced by her obsession with cleanliness, everyone worked together to clean up the huge laboratory, clean up the rubbish, rearrange each area, and place books, experimental equipment, and daily necessities neatly in different categories, and the whole space took on a new look.

This secret room at the bottom of the lake was initially branded as the Witcher Brotherhood, but they didn't stay long.

In order to continue to explore the whereabouts of the Griffin Sect witcher Geron Moru, everyone stepped into the Oaks to establish a second spatial coordinate in Toussaint - Heshan.

...

East of Beauclair, between the castles of Balshan and Ursar.

The sun rose to the center of the sky, and the emerald Beauclair oaks and an ancient stone wall on the top of Heshan reflected golden light.

This wall was originally built by Duke Roger the "Player" to prevent the invasion of barbarians.

But in fact, the so-called barbarians never existed near Heshan, or even in the whole of Toussaint. In the end, Duke Roger simply built a castle in the center of the wall and locked himself up to entertain himself.

Because the age is too long, Heshan Castle has changed hands several times, from nobles to bandits and robbers... and finally turned into an uninhabited ruin.

Most of these buildings are still well preserved.

When everyone got out of the teleportation gate and stood in front of the iron gate of the castle, the surroundings were quiet, only listening to the autumn wind blowing, the sound of rhododendrons, rose bushes, the swaying and dancing sound of the vines on the wall, and the chirping of birds on the high city wall. chant.

"The sales are too bad... far inferior to Kyle Morhan," Escal entered the castle along the road paved with sand and sand, and looked around, no matter the height or number of towers, it was far from his home.

"Come on, buddy, this is not a lake bottom laboratory, we don't need to take it as our own." With a wave of his hand, Kayane followed Roy and strode straight to the interior of the castle, the central tower, the ladder that spreads underground. Hom,

"Just sweep it away!"

...

Roy climbed down the dusty old stone stairs of the tower all the way down, and went straight to the dark and dark basement.

The trail was empty, and valuables were taken away by patronizing robbers.

At the bottom of the stairs, in front of a closed secret door, he easily found a hidden and small mechanism on the side of the door. As soon as he twisted it, the entire basement suddenly shook, making a continuous muffled sound of "Jingjing", and the stone door slowly retracted. left wall.

This secret door has not been activated for a long time, and the sand and dust falling from the beam of the door is as dense as rain, and it drenched everyone's heads and faces.

The sorceress instantly looked pale, wrinkled her nose in displeasure, and snapped her fingers with her slender hands. A breeze blew across her body and the witcher beside her, brushing the dust off her clothes and skin, and the two became refreshed again. ,

"Hey, Ms. Rita, you can't always be biased and give me a blow!"

"Either fireball technique, or close this stinky mouth!" The raised red lips showed a sarcastic arc, and Shan Shan snorted harshly, took Roy's arm and swayed into the dark corridor.

"Dude, I advise you not to provoke her..." Escal patted him on the shoulder with a familiar voice, "Can't you see after so long, Ms. Rita likes to show her love in front of outsiders. This is Her...well...unique hobby."

"According to my experience, couples who are often so showy will end bleak in the end." Kaiyan's scarlet pupils flashed with wisdom.

Then a snort sent a chill down his spine.

"You don't want to treat your burn?"

...

Roy took the lead in galloping down the dark corridor, and soon after, he found a large number of ancient books in a wooden box at the corner - almost all of them were related to witchers or golems.

For example, "The Golem, Man's Most Faithful Servant", "The Witcher: Not as Evil as You Think"... Rita Ned smiled and accepted them all. Now, she has a greater grasp of transforming that gargoyle.

In addition, there is a "Thomas Moru's Journal" hidden in the alley.

Cohen moved his face nervously, worried that any mention of Geron's death.

"September 12, 1121, I have determined that Geron has been fooled and is currently living in Utsar..."

Throughout the diary, Thomas's conspiracy was roughly written, and he deliberately put out a lucrative commission to lure his witcher son here, disguised as a negotiation, but in fact paralyzed him with magic and imprisoned him in an underground prison.

Send him back to the lake bottom laboratory and force him to undergo a reversal experiment.

"Thomas Molluy, you scumbag, even plots against his own son."

Roy sighed.

Obviously, Geron Molluy didn't want to become a normal person at all, but his mage father Thomas Molluy was wholehearted-"I'm here for your own good."

Not far behind the wooden box is a crystal in a green leaf wreath. After Roy inspired it with Alder, a portal was revealed, leading to the place where Thomas imprisoned Geron for the first time.

The sorceress, Roy, Cohen, and Leto entered the door one after another to search.

The rest of the people couldn't bear the nausea and discomfort of frequent teleportation, so they stayed to guard outside the gate.

...

As soon as the four of them landed, they immediately received a "warm welcome" from the former owner.

Dark basement corner.

A hill-like guard golem suddenly stood up, swung his arms like a boat, and rolled towards the crowd.

The heavy attack comes with the whistling sound and huge inertia, making its posture look very clumsy and slow, but its power is amazing!

The bald man grinned, his eyes flickered with cold light, he quickly outlined the Kun's magic shield, pulled out the double swords behind him, and greeted him. Surprisingly, he didn't do anything to dodge, and collided with the golem in front of him.

"boom!"

Metal meets rock!

A splendid spark burst into the air!

The entire space shook violently, but the flesh and blood of the bald man was as stable as a rock, the two swords crossed upwards like a shield, and the dark and heavy arms of the dead card master golem.

Amber pupils met the golem's dark eyes.

"boom!"

Cohen worked with both hands to draw the seal of Alder, and slammed the right side of the golem. The thrust of the double seal of the Griffin was not trivial. Even the golem whose weight was measured in tons was pushed involuntarily and moved two steps to the side.

At the same time, the talisman on the chest of the sorceress, who had been guarding in the distance, sprinkled magical aura, and a smooth oily stain suddenly appeared on the ground in the direction of the golem's movement.

This trick has been tried and tested against an infinitely powerful but clumsy and heavy opponent, and the golem immediately slipped under his feet and fell to the ground quite comically!

"Bangdang!" Thick dust rose up, and the ground shook suddenly.

In an instant, the dark secret room was illuminated by colorful magic spirits!

The sorceress threw ice picks frantically, freezing the golem's sluggish body.

Cohen kept bombing with Alder, crushing it to the ground.

And Roy summons lightning in his left hand to apply a paralyzing attack, and Gabriel in his right hand shoots continuously!

The bald-headed man charged at the forefront, his body as strong as a bear danced a bursting dance, his double swords revolved and launched continuous strikes, shattering the stone skin, but the golem's wildly waving arms couldn't touch a single hair on him.

Fifteen seconds later.

"Pfft..."

"Kill the golem guard, experience +50..."

Roy pouted, no soul is cheap.

With a wave of the sorceress, the golem core and elemental fragments all flew into her space bag... When she figured out the principle, soon, the brotherhood will get the second guard outside the gargoyle.

...

Continue walking up a flight of stairs.

The four entered a room that was far more crude than the secret room at the bottom of the lake...

Apart from a few worm-eaten rotten wooden boxes and shelves, there were hardly any decorations and alchemical instruments to be seen.

Even the place for people to rest, there is only a brown floor that exudes a rotten smell.

In the dark corners, the bones of small animals such as mice and lizards piled up into mountains.

There is no doubt that no matter who is locked in such a place for a long time, it is a kind of cruel torture, and in the end, they will either die of hunger and thirst, or they will die of madness.

The four of them exchanged glances, and they quickly searched the small area with concerted efforts, and then started with the three blueprints for the armor, pants, and silver sword of the Griffin School.

But it's different from the six blueprints for the Griffin that Geralt and Kayane collected in Velen.

"Premium stuff..." Lesso looked at the blueprint with admiration in his eyes, "It's an upgraded version of the last Griffin blueprint. The forging process is more complicated and sophisticated, and the finished product is better than most of our equipment... I can guarantee that, Vesemir must be crazy about them!"

"This is more than just a blueprint." Roy flipped the blueprint of the Griffin Sect's silver sword in front of everyone, and the back of the blueprint showed dense words——

"The paralysis spell has subsided, and I have also accepted the terrifying reversal experiment. But the portal is still closed... I was plotted by the old guy, and most of the equipment was left in Ursar Fort. Without equipment, I did not have any equipment at all. There's no escape. I'm sure to die here."

"You took my weapon, my last love for you, and even this letter, I can only write on the back of the drawing. But before I die, I want to tell you—"

The handwriting trembled, and the force penetrated the back of the paper, showing the extreme anger of the writer.

"You are a paranoid lunatic who never listens to other people's hearts! You are a cruel and cold-blooded killer who has hurt countless poor people! I have no more feelings for you, only hate! I hope that one day you will sin for yourself. Pay the price for your crimes!"

Notes so far.

The witchers and the sorceress were lost in thought, speechless.

"Even my own son hates and curses this guy so much..." Leto shook his head. "It seems that Kayane was right at the beginning, Thomas is an extremely egoistic person."

"This series of research is not so much to make Jielon return to normal, but to relieve his unwillingness and obsession!" Roy nodded in approval.

"The question is...Where did Geron go?" Cohen looked around nervously. There was no Geron's body in the lakebed laboratory, and there were no half remains in this humble house, not even the Griffin pendant. , "In the crystal image of Thomas Moreu, he only said that he went back to find him in a disheartened ... Lydia, it should be his wife. But he did not explain the whereabouts of his son at all."

"Jie Long, only this 'suicide note' full of resentment is left."

"The way we come in is obviously a one-way passage... The portal must be opened from the outside..." Rita Nieder stroked her sharp chin and rolled her eyes, "It is only possible for an ordinary person to be locked in here. locked up to death."

"Have you forgotten?" Roy put forward another point of view, "Griffin demon hunters are different from other schools-a considerable proportion are born with magic..."

"And Jielon's biological father is a mage. This possibility is even higher. Maybe he mastered the portal spell and escaped!"

"If Jielon has the ability to get out of trouble...why did he write down such desperate notes and didn't take these three blueprints with him?" Leto's continuous questioning brought the question into a blind spot.

No one can give another answer.

At this time, Roy remembered a strange thing described by Knight Grim at the Sintra market many days ago-

"Five years ago, on the day I cleared the bandits in Heshan, a man with amber vertical pupils, a griffin pendant on his neck, and a man in ragged clothes like a beggar rushed out of the ruined basement, as fast as a galloping horse. Crazy, like a madman, rushed into the wilderness and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Later, I searched all around Heshan, and the guy seemed to evaporate from the world. "

...

Could this lunatic be Geron Molluy, another survivor of the Griffin faction, who escaped from the basement?

...

"If you want to know the answer to everything, you can only ask Jeron himself. To find out his whereabouts, let's make an assumption first." Roy circled around the simple prison and analyzed in a deep voice, "If we are Jeron, luckily Escaping prison... My most pressing desire, what's the first thing I do?"

"Vengeance on Thomas Geron!" Leto said.

"No...Jeron's note In the end, he only wants Thomas to be punished..." The sorceress's tone was gentle but firm, her fingernails twirling unconsciously on Roy's arm, "I guess he prefers to stay away from revenge. Toussaint, stay away from his diabolical father, just like your mantra, and let fate punish him!"

"With the exception of the mentally disturbed Bear and Cat factions, the demon hunters of the other schools have the greatest bond in their hearts, not their former relatives, but their academies and mentors... Kyle Siren, Grandmaster Elan." Cohen whispered. , Meifeng frowned, "But I never heard Mr. Kelda mention Jielon's name... The more than 60 tombstones don't have his name."

Roy and Leto were equally silent.

Ask yourself, if they get out of the dark cage, they will definitely go back to their "home" to visit their old friends and mentors, but Cohen's statement almost denies this.

...

"Kyle Siren has been turned into ruins, and I can't ask anything..." Roy paused, "We can only assume that Geron returned to Toussaint and found his father..."

"So, our next step is to go back to Beauclair in Toussaint and find Thomas Molluy."

"Do you know his whereabouts?" Cohen asked, and then patted his mouth.

Roy smiled.

"It's time to go."

The final destination of Thomas Moru, like the prison at the bottom of the Nine Valleys and the Crane Mountain, is in his mind.
