The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World

After entering the palace's small restaurant, Marvin ignored any greetings and temptations and directly made a request: "I disrupted the Black Army camp on the south bank of the Nasser River and captured their commander, Menno Kuhoon. I need someone to open a portal and bring him back. Immediately!"

He tied Marshal Menno to a tree branch and teleported back. When he saw the number of guards in the palace, he knew that the queen had returned, which led to the scene before him.

Tursek slapped the table and laughed: "Roar, my friend! You are so awesome!"

The queen frowned and asked: "Are you kidding?"

"Listen, Calanthe, I never joke, and I don't have time to play guessing games with you." Marvin stared at the queen, "Is there anyone who can open the portal?"

"Fin!"

The palace steward stepped forward, "I'm here, Your Majesty."

"Go call Mossack, quickly!"

"Your wish, Your Majesty."

After a while, a slightly old voice came from outside the door, "Oh, your family is really troublesome, I just coaxed that little devil to sleep..."

The druid with a tall hat walked into the small restaurant and continued to complain, "It's only been a few hours, and you woke me up again, what's the matter?!"

Although the beard hanging down to his chest was gray and his face was full of wrinkles, Mossack did not give people the feeling of aging.

The queen explained the general situation to the royal magic adviser, and the matter of opening the portal fell on this druid.

In the demon hunter world, mages and druids are not a professional system, but more like two schools under a unified magic system.

Mages are generally atheists. They believe that the so-called "gods" are just more powerful creatures who have mastered more profound magical powers. Some mages even believe that as long as they can master that kind of magical power, they can also become "gods". The most representative figure among them is Viggo Fortz.

Warlocks are only a small part of mages. Mages who are born with the ability to cast spells are considered warlocks. For example, Amavet, who has the magic source talent, can be called a warlock. I don't know if Marvin Goydema can still be considered a warlock now...

Druids have faith. They don't believe in any god, but believe in nature. It's not that they can't learn magic, but they have developed their own magic system. Druids' lightning magic is quite famous.

In addition, druids are not all kind and kind. There are many bad ones among them. For example, Viggo Fortz was also a druid.

As a great druid, Mossak has good relations with many high-level mages, such as Marvin's teacher, Tissaia de Vries. It is not surprising that he knows how to use a portal. Note ①

Marvin also made that request because he knew he was there.

...

With a burst of air, a blue portal opened in the woods more than ten kilometers away from the south bank of the Nasser River.

Marvin walked out first, followed by the druid.

Mossak looked around and asked, "Well, it seems that the spatial coordinates you gave are very accurate. Where did you learn it?"

"Aretusa." Marvin stopped the druid from closing the portal, "It will only take a few seconds."

After speaking, Marvin jumped onto a seven or eight meter high branch in a few steps, "picked" off a person, and jumped down again.

Marshal Menno, who was only wearing a lining single coat, had his face frozen blue, and he struggled like a cocoon trapped.

With the sound of fluttering, a raven landed on Marvin's shoulder.

Whether it was this raven that didn't look like a living thing or Marvin's "Aretusa", Mossak was stunned for a while. However, he didn't ask any more questions, after all, there was still a prisoner.

He just looked at Marshal Menno twice, shook his head and sighed, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, he really has to hurry up, otherwise he will freeze to death."

After returning to the Cintra Palace again, Menno Kuhoen, who put on fur and drank hot tea, regained his composure. He knew he survived.

On the continent, human nobles would not easily kill each other. Even in war, few nobles died, and those who died were soldiers.

Nobles want benefits, and only living enemies can provide benefits, and dead bodies can only attract flies.

And no one wants to face death after being captured one day, so most nobles will abide by the "noble war immunity".

As a member of the noble system, Calanthe will naturally abide by this convention, and the ransom of an imperial duke is a large sum of money. It is enough to hire a 5,000-man national mercenary from Kovir.

Marvin was also willing to let Menno go back, so as to cause some trouble for the great Majesty Emhyr var Enreis.

After Marvin pointed out the internal contradictions of Nilfgaard, the captured Duke was also quite single, and he made the contradictions between the old nobles and Emperor Emhyr clear.

On the one hand, the enemy of the enemy may not be a friend, but they can definitely cooperate; on the other hand, it increases the probability of returning to the Golden Tower City alive.

He even revealed news that Marvin didn't know: there are many wizards in the empire who are also very dissatisfied with the emperor's high-pressure rule. He has contacted one of the sorceresses, named Ashley var Anaxin, who is now teaching at the Imperial Sorcerer Academy.

Marvin was very satisfied to get such detailed imperial intelligence. Because he will definitely kill Emhyr var Enreis when he comes back this time, but he did not reveal his idea.

On this continent where the nobles hold absolute power, assassinating the king is a heinous crime that cannot be tolerated, and assassinating the emperor is even more terrifying. Exposing it too early is harmful and useless.

The First Battle of the North, which resulted in the Massacre of Cintra in the original timeline, ended so hastily.

In fact, Emhyr Emres's original intention was not to massacre the city, but to find Ciri.

Ciri is Princess Cirilla, the daughter of Emhyr and Princess Pavetta. At that time, he was not an emperor or a prince, but a cursed and exiled sinner. His name was Dhoni at that time. (This matter is mentioned in Chapter 12 of Volume 1)

Emhyr did not find Ciri for family reasons, but to legally rule Cintra through her identity as Princess Ciriella. For this goal, he even did not hesitate to marry his own daughter.

Although consanguineous marriage may be looked down upon in aristocratic circles, it is not impossible. Moreover, no one knows about his relationship with Shirley yet...

Menno Kuhorn was taken away by the guards and temporarily placed under house arrest in the palace.

Calanthe sent envoys to the City of Golden Towers to negotiate a deal to redeem the Duke.

Marvin was arranged to rest in the palace guest room. After all, Marvin really ended the crisis in Cintra, and Calanthe still had the courtesy he should have.

Just as the palace steward was about to take Marvin to the guest room, a little girl ran into the meeting hall.

"I heard someone came to visit? Where is he? Where is he?" The little girl with mouse-gray hair looked around while holding up the hem of her skirt.

"Ciri!" Calanthe scolded with a cold face.

"Oh~" Princess Cirilla reluctantly made a ladylike salute, "Good morning, mother, good morning, your highness, and good morning, Grandpa Mossak."

When he noticed Marvin, he was immediately attracted, not to Marvin, but to Raven. She jumped up to Ma Wen and stared at the black bird, "Hey~ why do you raise a crow? You..."

He was asking Marvin, but it was Modus who kept his eyes on him.

[Tip: It has been detected that Trailblazer 00000027 is close to the mission target, Cirilla Fiona Elen Leanne, and the mission "Daughter of Destiny" needs to be completed as soon as possible. 】

"You are the crow!" Modus immediately refused and yelled the trash talk he learned from the Paradise of Order.

Talking raven! This surprised everyone, including Mossack.

The mysterious man who calls himself Amavit is even more mysterious.

No one had noticed the raven before, but Menno had to be interrogated, so no one had time to ask.

Marvin comforted his AI partner, and the Queen scolded her granddaughter again: "Ciri! Where is your upbringing? This is Amavit."

She still didn't believe Marvin's words and was not even willing to add the suffix "His Royal Highness".

Princess Cirilla rolled her eyes, held up her skirt and saluted: "Good morning, Amavit."

Then she looked up at Marvin and asked in as low a voice as possible: "Aren't you the evil druid Grandpa Mossack said? Like the deer-headed spirit who can summon crows and wolves?!"

Her voice became louder as she spoke, causing Mossak and Tursek to laugh, and Calanthe raised her head and held her forehead...

Marvin knew what kind of troublemaker Ciri was when she was young. White Wolf is really working hard.

Marvin finally followed the palace steward to the guest room, and Her Majesty the Queen ordered Princess Cirilla to go back to the room to repent.

It's not far from the meeting hall to the guest room, and it's just like going to the princess's boudoir. So, Ciri kept bickering with Modus all the way and never tired of it.

Marvin simply took advantage of the situation and followed the palace manager to send Princess Cirilla back to her room first, and successfully found out where she lived.

…

In the palace meeting hall, after Marvin and Ciri left.

"That raven is not a living thing, and I can't feel any biological aura." Mossak frowned and said, "Besides, I asked him where he learned space magic, and he said Aretuza... If I remember correctly, Tissaya de Veris had a male student 100 years ago, Prince Amavit of Temeria, who was also her only male student. Although I have never seen that Amavit. , but judging from Tissaya’s previous description, it looks very much like..."

Esther Tursek exclaimed: "Storm, wouldn't he live longer than the frost giants?"

Calanthe heard the uncertainty in Mossak's tone and asked, "Are you sure he is Prince Amavit?"

The druid shook his head, "I'm not sure, but I remember Tissaya mentioned several characteristics of the prince. For example... he should have a beautiful single-edged sword."

Tursek slapped his thigh, "I've seen it before! Uncle Mossak, his swordsmanship is very powerful, but I can't beat him anyway, hahahaha..."

"The blue runes on that sword?"

Tursek shook his head and replied in confusion: "No, I never saw any runes light up during the war."

"Then I'll find an opportunity to chat with him privately. There are many details that can be verified. Or I can go to Arethusa. Tishaya is still the dean." The druid bent down and saluted the queen. "Allow me to take my leave now, Your Majesty."

As for Esther Tursek, even the former king of Skellige was just a little brat who grew up under his own nose and did not need to salute.

…

After resting for a few hours, Marvin got up at noon.

The 24 white treasure chests contributed a total of 215 paradise coins, 13 pieces of white quality equipment and 4 pieces of defective (gray) quality equipment. Without the luck +3 BUFF, the income from opening the boxes dropped significantly.

After washing, putting all the loot into the inventory, and eating the lunch delivered by the attendant, Marvin went out.

Now that you have met Mossack, you should arrange the Druid summoning spell, and you can also ask him about his experience in using the portal.

Following the palace attendant, he found the Archdruid who was playing with herbs in the garden. Marvin got straight to the point: "I want to learn summoning. What are the conditions?"

Mossak patted the dirt on his hands, stood up and asked, "Can't you summon ravens? Do you still want to learn this?"

"Stop beating around the bush, there's no need. You can't help but see that this isn't a real animal." Marvin patted his companion on the shoulder, and the raven spread its wings and flew away.

"Haha..." The Druid laughed, "Summoning, can I see your sword?" Sensing that Marvin was showing signs of getting angry, he immediately explained: "I just heard Tissaya mention it. Yes. You are too mysterious. I must at least determine who you are, right?"

Marvin nodded, took out the sheathed Gus pattern from the inventory, took out the knife from its sheath, and showed it to the other party with a flat end.

Mossack took two steps closer, "Hey, where are the runes? There should be blue runes."

"It's been 90 years, I can't keep using the same knife, right?"

The Druid nodded: "Yes, indeed. What about your ability to move far away in an instant?"

In the blink of an eye, Marvin disappeared from the Druid's eyes and stood ten meters away. Then he came back and asked, "You mean this?"

Mossak clapped his hands and said, "That's right." The druid held up his chest and saluted, "Good afternoon, Your Highness."

Marvin put away the long knife and said: "There is no need, Prince Amavit has long been gone."

"Haha..." Mossak stroked his beard and said, "Your personality is really the same as what Tishaya said. Then what should I call you?"

"Marvin, Marvin of Vizima, or Marvin Goidemar. Whichever you choose."

"Oh, do you want to use your father's name as your surname? Not bad." At this point, the Archdruid was basically sure that the person in front of him was the former Prince Amavit, and he finally relaxed.

However, he still planned to take time to go to Aretusa and ask his old friends.

Marvin also asked about the academy: "Is Teacher Tishaya still in Aretuusa?"

Mossack nodded and replied: "Yes, she is still the dean."

After finally hearing the news from an acquaintance, Marvin breathed a sigh of relief. He brought the topic back to the beginning and asked, "I want to learn summoning. What are the conditions?"

The druid waved his hand, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no... I have always heard Tisaya praise you before. I also want to experience what it's like to teach a smart student, come on..."

After Mossack's explanation, Marvin realized that summoning alien creatures was not something that could be learned overnight.

There are three stages to learning Druid summoning.

1. Summoning natural allies: At first, you can only summon nearby small animals and plants, such as insects, mice, squirrels, and rabbits... Only when your mental power is strong enough can you sign contracts with natural allies such as trees, horses, wolves, and bears in this world. A permanent contract. The stronger your mental power, the stronger the allies you can sign. Not only can it be summoned to fight, but it can also borrow part of the power of its allies.

2. Summoning allies from other worlds: Temporarily summoning creatures from other worlds. How powerful creatures can be summoned all depends on mental strength.

3. Alien Covenant: Sign a permanent ally summoning contract with alien creatures, and summon allies to help at any time.

Whether it is the summoning of natural allies or the summoning of alien allies, what kind of creatures can be summoned depends on one's own luck, but there are also some vague rules. For example, a druid who is selfish and evil at heart will always summon an equally evil outsider, and vice versa.

Druid also cannot summon elemental creatures, the summoned objects can only be natural creatures. This is in line with the requirements.

Since Order Paradise has already completed the permanent contract for him, Marvin only needs to learn the second stage.

However, the learning did not go smoothly, and the summoning of natural allies did not go smoothly.

Marvin's mental strength and knowledge reserves are sufficient, and it is not difficult to summon natural allies, but neither mice nor rabbits refuse to get close to him.

Even if Marvin quickly grabbed these little things with his skill, they would huddle up and tremble. There was even a hedgehog that simply lay down and pretended to be dead.

The teaching scene was once very embarrassing.

Marvin looked at his attributes

Charisma: 13

This is already higher than ordinary people, right?

But...he killed hundreds of thousands of elves in Ain El, and came to the world of witchers within a few days. In the battle with Nilfgaard two days ago, he killed hundreds of people with his own hands.

The sixth sense of animals is much stronger than that of humans. It would be strange if they are not afraid.

Ordinary people are not afraid of him because they cannot sense it.

There are people who can sense it, such as Mossak, but the two parties are not only not hostile, but also have a rounded relationship between elders and juniors. The archdruid naturally didn't care.

In addition, as mentioned in the attribute introduction, charm has a great influence on summoning skills. 7 points is really not enough.

Mossack was not disappointed. On the contrary, he recognized Marvin's talent in learning magic and agreed to continue teaching.

Marvin wanted to learn not only summoning, but also alchemy, especially potions. But Mossak was not good at alchemy. He recommended that Marvin go to the Skellige Islands when he had time and go to the Druid Circle to find an alchemist named Gemeista.

…

Note ①: Mossak is a member of the Druid Circle in the Skellige Islands. I think he should be of the same generation as Vilgefortz. This archdruid plays a big role in The Witcher 3 game.

I don't know if Mossak can open the portal, so I just assume he can, otherwise the plot will be stuck for one more day, which is a bit unpleasant.

In the game, Mossak and Yennefer had a conflict, which made White Wolf very embarrassed. I felt that Yennefer was at fault. This strong sorceress's series of actions on the Skellige Islands made me a little annoyed with her. If it weren't for her really good looks, I would have switched to Triss's faction. But in the original novel, Triss is really teasing. Oh, I'd better take them all.
