From Demon Hunter to Lord of the Empire

Chapter 34: The fate of the ring makes them meet

Two days ago.

Ciri ran in a hurry through the forest. She was wearing a jacket with a red hood, which was already dirty by this time, and her beautiful little boots were full of filth, covered with weeds and leaves of different lengths, but she kept walking.

She didn’t know where she should go, but she knew she definitely couldn’t go to Verdon, and it was good to go anywhere but there. As long as she doesn’t marry the Verdons, let her do anything.

The little girl has always been curious about wild and exciting adventures, she has learned a lot about the forest from Mossas, and the druids are happy to help Ciri understand nature.

This gave Ciri a mastery of complex knowledge such as wild life far beyond the court etiquette, noble heraldry and so on that she should have learned.

But no one had ever taught her, no matter how much she knew about the forest, that she should not go alone into a jungle she did not know, especially when the jungle was called Blochlon.

Five paces away from Ciri, something was slowly creeping forward, overturning the weeds. The thing was dark brown in color and almost the same length as Ciri’s height.

The lucky Ciri felt like she had tripped over something, which allowed her to narrowly avoid the beast’s attack.

Her Royal Highness, who had fallen to the ground, only felt a gust of wind passing over her head, and she looked over in a panic, only to see a long strip-shaped thing there.

At first she thought it was a snake, but then noticed its yellow legs with barbs and its elongated, knot-like torso. That’s not a snake, but it’s much more dangerous than a snake.

Ciri screamed loudly, turned and ran, and the giant centipede shook its long tentacles, feeling the smell and temperature, and lifted itself in the grass.

At the moment of crisis, Ciri suddenly heard a calm magnetic voice shouting loudly.

“Don’t move! ”

Before the words fell, I saw a tall man rushing out from the bushes, and he stepped on the ground hard, as if he wanted to attract the attention of the giant centipede with his voice.

But the giant centipede is completely unresponsive, and its tentacles are busy looking for the location of the small prey, which makes hunting less difficult.

The insect monster moved, curled up in an S shape, and rushed forward, its bright yellow legs shining in the grass, swinging rhythmically like rows of oars.

Ciri ran faster. But in the forest even adults can’t run these hunters, let alone her little girl,

Seeing this, the strange man hurriedly stepped and rushed, drawing his sword out of its sheath from behind, and the silver blade shone.

Before facing the enemy, it is more important for him to save the child. With the momentum of the forward charge, the man slammed Ciri, who was about to be overtaken by the centipede, into a blackberry bush.

Ciri is safe for the time being, while the man becomes a target for the giant centipede to pounce.

The giant centipede swayed on the grass, first leaning down, then turning to the strange man, erecting its nobble-shaped front half, and its fangs dripping with venom opened and closed.

The man deftly jumped over the monster’s knot-like body and turned around, intending to stab the sword into the fragile junction of the carapace. But the monster moved too fast, and his sword grazed the chitinous armor, but could not pierce it, as if it had been wiped out by a thick layer of moss.

One blow missed, and the man tried to pull away, but the movement was not fast enough. The giant worm wrapped its abdomen around his legs, with incredible force that caused him to lose his balance.

The giant centipede curled up and tried to clasp him with its pincer claws. In the process, it scrapes a tree hard, and its body wraps around it. At this moment, an arrow whistled over the man’s head, piercing the carapace of the giant insect with a loud noise, and pinning it to the trunk of the tree.

The giant centipede twisted its body and broke the shaft, but was hit by two arrows in succession.

The man broke free from it and rolled to the side.

In the place where the man had just burst out, a green-skinned woman with honey hair knelt on one knee and fired arrows one after another at an astonishing speed, each of which hit the target. Every time the giant centipede breaks its shaft, the next arrow nails it to the tree.

The giant insect’s flat mouth shone with a dark brown sheen, and as it opened and closed, the giant jaw bit into the place pierced by the sharp arrow, foolishly thinking that this would hurt its enemies.

The man jumped to the side and made a strange gesture with his left hand. Seeing a flash of light, the centipede, which was originally struggling fiercely, suddenly quieted down in confusion.

Then the sword in his hand swung vigorously, using the tree trunk as the guillotine of the monster, ending this hasty battle.

The green-skinned woman stepped forward and showed her figure. This woman is dressed very “forested”, I see her honey-colored hair tied up with a cord grass, and the clothes she wears are only made of bark and leaves, and the clothes are close to the skin to outline beautiful and powerful lines.

“This is the Eugorn giant centipede. She stepped lightly on the still wriggling corpse, “It broke my arrow.” ”

“Thank you, Brian. The man thanked me, “You saved me and that little tree spirit’s life.” ”

“Don’t be so pretentious, Gwenbride. You can easily solve it without me, and people like you are best at this kind of thing. ”

Brian faced the man’s thanks but did not accept, and without looking back, she carefully parted the blackberry bushes, her arms digging deep into the thorny shoots.

“Just like I thought. She exclaimed, picking up a confused Ciri from among the trees, “Look, Gwenbred, she’s not a dryad!” ”

The man looked at the little girl in Brian’s arms, she had beautiful rat-gray hair, a pair of big clear green eyes, and she looked no more than ten years old.

The problem is that it’s not a dryad, it’s not an elf, a leprechaun, a pictoe or a halfling, it’s just an ordinary little human girl. And here is Blochlon: the land that most intolerant of humans …

“Don’t be afraid, kid. The man crouched down and asked softly, “What’s your name?” ”

“I’m not scared, I’m cold. Ciri shivered, “My name is Sheila. ”

The man turned around. Brian was examining her bow when she met his gaze.

“Listen to me, Brian…”

“What? ”

“Is it possible for her to… is from… From you guys… Escaped from Duane Kanal? ”

“What? ”

“Don’t take me for a fool. The man said angrily, “I know you’ll catch young humans.” Did you yourself fall from heaven to Blochlon? I’m asking you, is it possible…”

“Impossible. The tree spirit interrupted him, “I’ve never seen her.” ”

“That’s the poor child who doesn’t go into the forest? The man murmured.

The tree spirit slowly approached Ciri: “But now, she needs to follow me to Dunn Kanal.” We cannot tolerate human access to this forest. We found her in Brock Leon, she is ours and she will become us. ”

Men don’t seem to tolerate this.

He protected Ciri behind him and whispered a warning, “Be careful, Brian. You put an arrow in the shadows yesterday and shot a boy through the eye. But I’m not him, and I know how to protect myself. I wasn’t there when that child was victimized, and now I won’t let you take another child. ”
